Letters to the editor, Dec. 12
Published 6:41 pm, Tuesday, December 11, 2012
How do cities cope with the problem of homelessness? On Dec. 3, Assemblyman Tom Ammiano introduced a bill that can answer this question.
This bill would guarantee some basic human rights for homeless people. This bill was crafted alongside homeless advocates, and it is not as radical as some would suggest.
The bill would, for example, forbid homeless discrimination in public institutions. It would guarantee the right of all people to use public space, even to rest, and would allow homeless people to have a 24-hour-access to bathrooms and showers and provide legal protection for them.
Many have criticized Ammiano's bill and say that it would allow homeless people to run around the city doing whatever they want and making our city look dirty.
The economic recession and the gentrifying effects of many San Francisco neighborhoods have led to a rapid increase of the visible (and invisible) homeless population.
As San Franciscans, and like most people living in big urban cities, we don't act compassionately toward our homeless neighbors. Instead, we just push past, walk rapidly and mumble a "sorry, no money" when they ask for change.
We are all desensitized to their suffering, but we should face the reality that there are thousands of people in our streets in some pretty terrible circumstances.
Madelinn Gomez, Daly City
Smokers, spare our air
"More change in the air for smokers" (City Insider, Dec. 11).
This measure should pass because it is not fair for nonsmokers to be exposed to smoke when they are trying to enjoy the fresh air.
It is time to eliminate public smoking and start improving Americans' health. Maybe they will finally get the hint that smoking can kill you.
Bekah Miller, Chico
Murder for laundry
Re: "3 arrested in death of man after fight over stolen laundry," Dec. 7).
It's ridiculous that an innocent person was killed over such a thing as missing laundry. It infuriates me that someone would even visit a Laundromat armed with a gun.
While having one's clothes stolen is irritating, it should never escalate to a fatal shooting. I hope the three men accused are put away for the maximum time for their crime. But that may not be enough. Some have problems so severe that they will always be a menace to society.
Alex Carrozza, San Diego
Upbeat Oakland crime story
Willie Brown wrote Sunday ("Willie's World," Dec. 9) that everyone seems to have an Oakland crime story these days.
Here's mine:
Brown told the distressing account of his son's home being burglarized and the Oakland police arriving five minutes after the burglars drove off. There are many Oakland crime stories.
I'd like to offer an Oakland crime story that ends differently than Brown's. Our car was stolen from our North Oakland driveway at 12:15 a.m. Saturday. We heard a noise. When my wife checked, the vehicle was gone. Ten minutes after we called OPD, a 20-something patrolman was at our door. Efficient throughout, he asked if we had OnStar service, which we do. OnStar advised that to activate a search, OPD needed his report, which he promptly filed. Within minutes, the vehicle was located close by. OPD quickly corralled the thieves - arresting two suspects, who were on parole.
If the officer who responded to our call is any indicator, OPD is doing something right.

University turns out the light for learning
Dear esteemed President of the UC system Mark Yudof ("Let there be fight - new logo has many demanding a redo," Dec. 11): Let me begin by asking, succinctly, why?
A symbol of 144 years of academic excellence and tradition gone with the flick of the stylus. Esteemed institutions such as ours do not redesign their emblems and crests in order to be more contemporary. If this were the case, Harvard would have most surely ditched its classic coat of arms for the Red Sox logo in 2004. But Harvard did not. Because Harvard's leadership realizes the power and ethos that an ancient crest provides.
Yet here, today, we find ourselves with a new logo reminiscent of Unilever surrounding a C that looks as though it is still loading in my Internet browser. In essence, the video that unveiled your new logo serves as an allegory for the progress the University of California system has made under your guidance. The removal of the book and the sacred motto "Let There Be Light" is an all-too-fitting motif for the educational and administrative decline that has occurred on your watch.
Moreover, the removal of the book and imperative "Let There Be Light" in favor of a commercial symbol is a testament to the priority that the UC system has placed on public appearances and profitability rather than educational excellence.
Jason Heath, Berkeley
Darkness at school
Trivial compared to all the events in the world, but the University of California is moving to adopt a new logo, replacing the classic, "Fiat Lux" ("Let there be light") with a horrendous post-modern design.
Appropriately, this design could be called "Fiat Nox" - "Let there be darkness" - as the C (hopefully not appropriately) diminishes and finally disappears into nothingness.
Ronald Elson, Berkeley
This is good will?
When my glance hit the new UC logo on The Chronicle's front page, my first thought was of the Goodwill G logo, without the upward arrow. With the fundraising needed to cover UC administrative salaries, it seems appropriate.
Miriam Mueller, San Francisco
Expel the worm
As a graduate of UC Berkeley, I would like to weigh in on the new logo. I think it is perfect: a representation of the worm of privatization presently infecting the body of the UC system, now emerging for all to see clearly. It is not really the fault of its creators; they are simply tellin' it like it is.
This is the fault of all those who voted for Proposition 13 without a thought for the consequences. Also to blame are the unregulated gamblers on Wall Street who heedlessly crashed our economy.
Come on, folks, let's cut this worm out of the noble body of this still great institution by working for adequate public funding for our world-renowned system of public universities.
Nancy Knight, Rodeo

Hoosier families and small businesses are facing daunting economic challenges. For far too long, Members of Congress of both political parties have spent our hard-earned money irresponsibly, set us on a path toward future tax increases to pay our foreign bankers, and put at risk our future standard of living and competitiveness in global markets.
During this down economy, our Congress has merely traded the irresponsible borrow-and-spend policies of the past for the grossly irresponsible policies of the present. Our current leadership has recklessly attempted to implement a risky government-run health care scheme, a national energy tax, and a variety of tax increases - all of which will kill jobs.
Employers will continue to hold off on hiring as long as Washington pursues this flawed, big spending agenda and piles more debt on our children and grandchildren. Members of Congress must stop the bleeding now and get federal spending under control.
If America is to enjoy truly sustainable economic growth and job creation, we must send leaders to Washington who will speak truth to power, stand up against those who embrace the excesses of the past and, when necessary, oppose leaders in their own party who lose their way. In short, our highest priority should be to tackle the biggest deficit in Washington: the leadership deficit.
Members of Congress must also boldly advance pro-growth policies to create an environment where innovation, entrepreneurship, investment and job creation flourish. Among these policies are:
* Bring down the cost of health insurance. Let's pursue real health insurance reform that actually bends the cost curve downward and improves access to affordable health insurance. Provisions should include allowing purchase of health insurance across state lines; tort reform; and equalizing tax treatment of health care benefits regardless of employer size.
* Reject calls to implement caps on carbon dioxide. The only way to reduce carbon dioxide is to dramatically reduce the amount of domestic coal used to generate electricity, which could force the premature closure of coal-fired steam-generating plants, send jobs overseas and greatly increase Hoosiers' energy costs. We must not impose costly restrictions on our own economy while other countries capitalize on Washington's misguided policies.
* Invest in Energy, Transportation and Telecommunications Infrastructure. It's high time we kick the pork barrel earmarking habit, set priorities, and invest in our nation's critical infrastructure needs, including:
o a new, expanded electric power grid that will increase reliability and access, especially in rural communities;
o a modern air traffic control system that will reduce delays in air travel and save passengers, employees, and airlines billions;
o rural broadband so that jobs of the future can be grown in small towns and big cities alike; and
o targeted investment in vital surface transportation projects to reduce costly and time-consuming bottlenecks like those at southern Indiana's Spaghetti junction where I-64, I-65, and I-71 meet, and the critical Ohio River bridges projects.
* Fix Job-Killing Provisions in our Tax Code. We should immediately simplify our complicated tax code -- and reward work, savings, and investment -- by replacing the current code with either a consumption-based tax or a flatter tax. Our tax system should be oriented toward attracting investment and growing jobs in our twenty-first century global economy. We should fundamentally overhaul our current tax regime, which makes American businesses and workers uncompetitive against many of our economic rivals. In a world where Ireland's corporate tax rate is a mere 12.5%, and China's capital gains rate is zero, it is time for our political class to wake up and stop killing jobs by retaining an outdated tax code.

Construction Authority Approves Locally Preferred Alternative for Gold Line Foothill Extension from Azusa to Montclair and Certifies Final Environmental Impact Report
Mar 07, 2013, 16:20 ET from Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority
Action moves highly anticipated 12.3-mile light rail extension project forward
MONROVIA, Calif., March 7, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- At their meeting last night, the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority (Construction Authority) board of directors approved the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) for the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension light rail project from Azusa to Montclair. The 12.3-mile light rail extension includes future stations in the cities of Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona, Claremont and Montclair; as well as two new grade-separated crossings (at Lone Hill in Glendora and Towne Avenue in Pomona). The project would extend light rail service between Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties, terminating the line at the multi-modal TransCenter in Montclair where multiple bus lines from throughout San Bernardino County and Metrolink already connect. The proposed extension is planned to run mostly at street level and parking is planned at each station.
"This is an important next step in our effort to connect Los Angeles, the San Gabriel Valley and Inland Empire by light rail and a very exciting milestone," said Doug Tessitor, Chairman of the Construction Authority board of directors. "The Construction Authority is steadfastly committed to completing our mission of building the Gold Line out to Montclair, and hopefully further to Ontario Airport. Our decision last night allows us to move forward with designing the project as we seek funding to build the line east of Azusa."
The Foothill Extension from Azusa to Montclair is part of the county-wide program of rail service expansion made possible by the passage of Measure R in 2008. One of several rail projects approved by voters in 2008, the Foothill Extension from Pasadena to Montclair is being planned and built in two segments – Pasadena to Azusa (currently under construction) and Azusa to Montclair. Measure R provides $810 million for the 24-mile project; however, completing the project from Pasadena to Montclair will need approximately twice that amount.
"We continue to have overwhelming support from our corridor cities and our elected officials at all levels," added Tessitor. "The board is committed to working through all unresolved issues as we continue to work through the details of this important and large-scale project and start to design elements. We truly appreciate the open communication and working relationship we have with our regional and city partners."
About the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension - The Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension is a nearly $2 billion 24-mile extension of the Metro Gold Line light rail system, being overseen by the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority, an independent transportation planning and construction agency created in 1999 by the California State Legislature. The project is planned in two segments – Pasadena to Azusa and Azusa to Montclair. The Pasadena to Azusa segment is fully funded by Los Angeles County's Measure R and is on schedule to be completed in 2015. The Azusa to Montclair segment is not fully funded and will seek funding opportunities following project approval and environmental certification.

Both require the use of one hand with the other on the steering wheel and it normally involves not-too-smart people who do not understand the folly of their acts.
In any emergency, I am certain that these habitual handphone users and smokers will not be able to react swiftly to a dangerous situation in time.
We have laws that prevent people from doing this, but nobody gives a hoot because of the lack of enforcement.
They are further emboldened when they know all the summonses that are issued to them will be accorded some discount sooner or later.
I find it really appalling when I see smokers happily smoking away when they have children in the car with them, exposing their children to the dangers of second-hand smoke and the risk of an accident.
As for littering, these smokers are one of the biggest offenders. But, then, who will catch them in the act?

Strange Results
This blogging business is a funny old lark, I'm not sure I'll ever really understand it. One thing I've learn in the 3 years I've been doing it is that you really can't tell what posts will provoke some kind of response & what won't.
Take my "Those missing data scapegoats in full" article, a light-hearted look at who is to blame for all the missing data cockups we've been having in the last year. I filed it under "The Job – satire". These are the bits I try to put my most creative efforts (if ever there is a creative side to me). And usually take up more brain power than the rest of my stuff – probably because it takes more effort to think than it does to just slag things off. This particular entry got 4 comments in a week.
Then I go and put some rambling musings about what to do when I retire & it gets 11 comments straight away. Thanks, by the way, for the advice. I've got a little way to go before I need to make any decisions. Doubtless you'll be updated when I make a decision one way or the other.
Anyway, notwithstanding the above, it's great to see people taking part in my blog. When you scan down the page it's rare to find a post which at least 1 person hasn't commented on, this makes a great change from times gone by – thanks very much to everyone who does!

PLANS to secure a new air service for Griffith have been thrown into turmoil after the collapse of Brindabella Airlines this week.
The ill-fated airline was one of three circling Griffith after council re-launched the search for new carrier.
Council had been in talks with Brindabella, as well as another Tasmanian airline, in a bid to get the highly sought after Griffith to Melbourne route into the air.
Meanwhile, Connect Jet – which has promised to fill the void left by Regional Express early last year – has not ruled out establishing a service in Griffith.
Also this week, the government has released the Terms of Reference for an inquiry into regional airlines in NSW.
Nationals MLC Rick Colless will chair the investigation to secure more reliable and inclusive passenger services to and from regional centres, and will hold the first meeting this week.
Griffith Business Chamber's Paul Pierotti said the inquiry was something the business community had been pushing for since the federal government withdrew the enroute rebate scheme.
"Regional communities need reliable, safe transport," Mr Pierotti said.
"It's not a luxury, it's a necessity.
"We need a change in attitude to understand that there does need to be government assistance to help people in rural and remote areas."
Mayor John Dal Broi said the collapse of Brindabella, which called in administrators and stood down 140 staff on Monday, made the search for a new Griffith carrier even harder.
"It is getting difficult but we are still working with the other company," Cr Dal Broi said.
"We haven't given up."
Cr Dal Broi said council would investigate routes to Melbourne via other regional centres, such as Dubbo or Albury, to make the service more viable.
"Aviation is a very costly industry," he said.
"The government is really going to have to tip in some substantial dollars to support regional airlines."

Sweater Stretching And Anal
Featuring: Africa Sexxx and Tony D'Sergio
Date: February 27th, 2010
Duration: 17:48
Our colleagues here at SCORELAND say that Africa Sexxx has one of the pinkest pussies known to man. And Africa's butt is invigorating as well. She looks pleased at how well her blue sweater fits over her sweater puppies. Her fuck partner Tony is delighted to feel the material over those impressive bulges. He pulls the sweater down so that it fits even tighter over Africa's hangers. With a gal like her around to play with all day, a man doesn't need cable TV or magazines. He can just worship her breasts for hours. After the world's first blowjob through a sweater sleeve, Africa gives Tony a slurping deep mouth massage while he removes her tits from her bra. She rides his dick in lap dance style as a warm-up. Africa shows her love for hot sex positions by laying back and flexing her legs all the way back past her head so he can drive his boner balls deep into her pink.

(KMOV) -- Two sex offenders have recently walked away from a Missouri Department of Corrections facility downtown. It's called the St. Louis Community Release Center and it's a place where paroled offenders can live while they work or go to school.
News 4 went to the facility Monday after learning Shawn Akery didn't return to the faclilty.
Akery, a registered sex offender for attempting to rape a woman in 2007, Wednesday police say checked himself out of the facility and didn't come back.
Later that day, police say he forced a woman to the ground outside of her apartment downtown and tried to rape her.
"Absolutely unfortunate and scary that it happened here downtown," said Levi Nelligan who's often downtown.
People we talked to weren't even aware a parolee facility was so nearby.
"You think you might want to keep that away from a locally active population but at the same time people need a place to work and live somewhere," Nelligan said.
But it's far from the first time someone has left the center only to reoffend. Last summer, News 4 reported about Ronnell Edwards who allegedly molested a 7-year-old boy, was paroled to the center, walked away and then went straight to his victim's school
The supervisor of the facility wouldn't answer questions about safeguards and only referred News 4 crew to officials in Jefferson City who didn't respond to inquiries as of Monday evening.

India were held to a goalless draw by a gutsy Nepalese side in the 3rd round of games of the Nehru Cup at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Nepal, playing against the hosts, with a decent crowd behind them, dished out an inspirational show to shut out the Blue Tigers for a full 90 minutes. Starting with five players in midfield, India failed to dominate the proceedings against Nepal, who ended the game with 10 men after Bikas Chhetri was sent off under controversial circumstances in the dying moments of the game, ultimately finishing the game without a goal.
Due to incessant rains, the match was delayed by half an hour, with the game being played on a muddy pitch. Once the game began, the effects of a watery pitch began to show, as both sets of players scrapped the ball around the ground, even finding it tough to pass the ball to their team mates. India, playing in their saffron kit, found it difficult to control possession, with Nepal dominating initially. Despite Wim Koevermans going with five midfielders, it was the Nepalese midfield that controlled the show. The left flank of Nepal, in particular, made Anthony Pereira and Denzil Franco work hard early on, as most of the chances went Nepal's way. In the 13th minute, India's neighbouring nation created four corners consecutively, although the end product of these corners came to nought.
After the fourth corner was cleared, the ball fell to India's Lenny Rodrigues, who ran towards the goal and attempted a weak shot that failed to cause any problem to the Nepalese goalkeeper. Mehtab Hossain, playing in a holding position for India, was made to work hard on quite a few occasions by his Nepalese counterparts. In the 28th minute, Nepal's Sandip Rai let fly a low free kick towards the Indian goal, which forced the Indian custodian Subrata Paul to dive and block the shot.
As the game progressed, Nepal grew in confidence and continued its raids on the Indian goal, with Anthony Pereira falling back in order to guard his country's right flank, which was being continuously bombarded by the talented Nepalese side. The fact that India's first shot on Nepal's goal came three minutes prior to the half time interval goes on to display India's frail offence during the first 45 minutes of the game. The sluggish nature of the pitch didn't help either side as both the countries headed towards the tunnel for the lemon break. India
With India struggling to penetrate the Nepalese defence, coach Wim Koevermans introduced striker Robin Singh to add more steel to his side's attack, with Clifford Miranda being subbed off for the hosts. In the 48th minute of the game, a defensive scramble at India's goalmouth almost yielded a goal for Nepal, with the hosts parrying away the ball to safety eventually, preventing the impressive Sandip Rai from giving Nepal the lead. With India playing with two strikers from the commencement of the second half, India started getting the share of chances in the game. A few minutes into the second half, Sunil Chhetri fed winger Anthony Pereira with the ball a few yards away from the goal. Pereira struck the ball powerfully, but the Nepalese goalkeeper K Chemjong was equal to the Indian winger's effort, making a decent save to keep the scores level.
India slowly grew into the game, as the Nepalese defence began to fall back. The hosts launched continuous offensives on the Nepalese side, as the latter's players began to tire out. Denzil Franco combined well with Francis Fernandes during this half, as the duo started causing problems to Nepal's defence. With a quarter of an hour remaining in the game, India introduced Jewel Raja in place of Lenny Rodrigues in order to give a run to the Nepalese midfield.
In the 82nd minute, India's substitute Jewel Raja agonizingly hit the post from a decent shot after he created some space in front of Nepal's goal following some neat play from the Indian midfielder. The other substitute of the host nation, Robin Singh, too had his share of attempts at the goal, all of which were saved by goalkeeper Chemjong. However, it was Jewel Raja who created most of the chances after his introduction in the 75th minute. The game ended in controversial circumstances as Nepal had one of their players, Bikas Chhetri, sent off after the player's verbal altercation with the match referee. India had two of their chances saved before the referee finally blew the full-time whistle.
With India set to take on favourites Cameroon on 31st, it is important that Wim Koevermans sorts out his team's attack. A change in tactics may help the hosts, whose fans have been calling for the introduction of youngster Alwyn George in the starting line-up for the next games. Starting with two strikers may turn out to be the tonic for Wim Koevermans's boys, who drew blanks against Nepal. Moreover, the decent showing of midfielder Jewel Raja against Nepal, following his introduction into the game, may force the Dutchman to revamp his midfield against a strong Cameroonian side.

How it all started.
Once upon a time there were two best friends named Peggy and Shirley. They played bridge together while their husbands played golf and their children also played together.
Shirley's youngest daughter Jenny was a little over a year old when Peggy had her youngest son, Jason. Little Jenny thought he was the most beautiful thing and wanted to hold him. She asked if she could hold the baby, but she was told politely by his mother, "Well, honey he's sleeping right now." Little Jenny didn't understand that she was too little herself to hold the baby, so she thought the only thing keeping her from holding him was that he was asleep.
Even though just a wee one herself, Jenny remembers trying to wake the baby up as he lay in his carrier. If he would just wake up, she could hold him, but he would not wake from her nudges against the baby carrier. The only other thing Jenny knew to do was to pinch him to get him awake. She pinched his little arm and he woke up crying. Peggy gathered that pretty baby in her arms but little Jenny still didn't get to hold him. She doesn't remember anything else about that time, but is sure her Mama scolded her for that. There were only vague flashes of childhood play in her memory after that incident and many years later before she would get to hold that beautiful baby.
Forty-five Years and Four Months Later
Talking Mama into a road trip to Murray, Ky., was difficult…at first. What was difficult was having the time draw near to go and her wanting to back out… about 20 times. Each time, she came up with a reason of why she shouldn't go, but I knew once she put her fears aside she would be so glad she went and I kept reassuring her.
Three days before the trip as Mama watched me prepare by taking my car to be serviced and doing all the packing for both of us for our seven-day trip, she was getting excited. It was a lot to have on me by myself, but I knew it would be worth it. I didn't mind the errands - shopping for mama, or the packing… what took the most energy was the 'pulling teeth' I had to do each time she became stubborn and I had to once again talk her into the trip. Now that she was really on board – it was a piece of cake.
Jason had told me of a few things to expect when we would be there. One of which, his mom Peggy was going to be in a play at the 'Playhouse in the Park'. That would be something fun to do. Peggy is zany and fun and still plays bridge every week. She is very active in the community and it would be good for Mama to see that she herself …'isn't dead yet'! Mama would stay with Peggy for the first part of the week and then stay at Jason's with me later.
On The Road
After I went to bootcamp that Friday morning, when I got home to take my shower, Mama was ready and even a little impatient to get started on our trip. I had everything packed and the car was filled with gas – I just needed to shower and we were ready to begin our trip.
We stopped to eat and as we passed through Monteagle we took in the beauty of the drive and we sang along to my "as Isaac' CD. Mama was taking the trip well and the first part was easy.
Jason asked me to call him when I got to Nashville. I don't use the phone while driving and when I travel to see Jason I always wait until I get past the busy part of Nashville traffic before I call him. We were into Clarksville stopping for a bathroom break when I called Jason and, like all men do, Jason told me of a 'better way to go' than what my GPS told me to go.
I am sure I don't have to tell you this was not a good idea.
Jason's house is outside of Murray, in Kirksey. It is 'back-roads-country' so giving his idea a shot, I took the Cadiz exit like Jason said. He told me it would take us right to his road. What he didn't tell me was if I turned left or right when I got off the exit and 'Samantha' – the voice of my GPS didn't tell me either. She was busy trying to get me back on the interstate. I took a guess and turned left, but Mama was a little nervous that it might not be the correct way.
As Sammy kept asking us to make a U-turn each time we passed an opening in the middle grassy area of the highway, Mama and I both were afraid that if I kept going I may be going the wrong direction and would only take us out further. It didn't help that strong winds were pelting my Jeep and making me 'white-knuckle' the steering wheel just to keep it in the road. As the wind hit the windows, it sounded as if it would bust right through. I wasn't worried though, I had been seeing a sequence of my God-wink number (22) for a few days and especially on the trip. I finally listened to Sam's voice and she got us back on the interstate, but now we were 20 minutes behind than if we had just listened to her in the first place.
The Reunion
When we pulled up to Jason's house, Mama went to the bathroom and we all headed for Peggy's house. To see the two old friends hug for the first time was priceless. It was like watching family greet each other. They both have said they were like sisters. Jason's brother Robert was there too and that meant a lot to me. I wished his wife Stephanie was with him. I still haven't met her and hope to soon.
Peggy had a good Kentucky dinner of slow-cooked pork tenderloin waiting for us and then Jason and I unloaded Mama's bags from the car. It was a long day, so Jason and I didn't get to visit much that evening, but the next day we were excited to spend time together. Jason wanted to take me to the Visitor's Center, The Home Place 1850 and the Elk and Bison Prairie.
I had gotten ready while he took care of the greyhounds and, while he got ready, I planned to do a little work. When I went out to the car to get a cord for my laptop I even thought to make sure that I unlocked the outside door to not lock myself out. What I didn't make sure of was unlocking the door in the garage to the house.
Locked Out!
As I passed by the greys and petted them, I got to the door to go in the house and realized that that one was locked. I knew Jason would be in the back taking a shower and would never hear me. I thought maybe he hadn't started his shower yet, so I rang the doorbell.
Oh no… that wasn't a doorbell - it was the garage door opener! One of the greys, named "Sweetie" thought it was time to play and she started to head for the half opened garage door. "Sweetie, no… come here," I said.
"Spec" the other grey (named Special Purpose in his racing days) was content to just watch. I led Sweetie back towards the steps to the house from the garage and tried to figure out how to close the garage door again. I was afraid it would go all the way up before coming back down, but luckily when I pushed it, it closed. Now, I just had to wait on Jason to find me (so much for getting a little work done).
After petting the 'kids' again (as Jason calls them) I started knocking on the window of the door hoping Jason would eventually come rescue me. I would look at the doggies in between knocks and they seemed amused at my predicament looking just as interested as I was in what I would do to get out of my dilemma.
Finally, in between knocks, Jason was in view passing to the laundry room and he smiled and nodded at me. I started laughing as I realized he didn't understand that I was locked out. He thought I was just being with the kids. I knocked again and he came to open the door. I now have a key.
It was a great day for sight-seeing and after a country breakfast at Rudy's, Jason and I went to the Elk and Bison prairie. I had seen buffalo before (when I interviewed Burton Brown in Chattanooga Valley who has a bison farm) but never up close. Jason and I drove the loop around the prairie in hopes of seeing a few elk and buffalo, but at first there weren't any in sight. Then we saw a few of the bison lying in the grass close to the road and I snapped a few pictures from the truck. They were quite large but Jason's truck was larger so it wasn't intimidating.
Then as we left the prairie, Jason saw a side road where another car was pulled over and a herd of buffalo were grazing by a fence. We pulled over and I got out so I could take a few pictures close up. I was amazed at the size of their heads and listening to their breath. Do you know how you read about the breath of God? This was that kind of thing. It was a blast of air coming through their nostrils with a magnified sound more than what I have heard from a horse or cow. This was intimidating!
Just to hear the breathing of such a large and mighty animal was magnificent! They came close to the fence and, after taking a few pictures, I turned on the video recorder to try and capture that breathing sound. One huge buffalo with horns had his head down and was right in front of me with his nostrils blasting air. As I moved my eye away from the viewfinder, I noticed that his left leg was sort of digging in the dirt. From what I have seen in cartoons and movies, this looked like the start of a charging animal.
I could sense that my bullish friend was warning me and I nervously asked Jason, "Uh, baby? Why is he doing his foot like that?" Jason having already backed up told me I was too close and needed to back up. I backed up until the big snorter turned away and then I saw a smaller one coming up to the fence and I wanted to pet it. I asked Jason if I could pet it and he said, "I believe that's against the law." I didn't know if he was telling the truth or if he was saying that to get me not to do it.
We did more sight-seeing and came back to town and had a Chicago dog at Mugsy's. I wanted pizza, because I had never had a Chicago pizza before and the guy who owned Mugsy's is from Chicago. It smelled so good when we walked in. We really weren't that hungry though after our delicious breakfast so I just got a hot dog and Jason got his usual sausage dog.
Jason took me to see a building that recently collapsed on the same row of businesses where my grandfather's store was. I am not sure if it collapsed from seismic activity or what, but only two buildings were affected.
We went to get Mama from Peggy's and took her to the play since Peggy left early for rehearsal. Peggy was playing a hypochondriac in one of the skits that had the "Red Feather Society" ladies. It was so funny. The skits were put on by a group called the "The Old Duffers and Powder-Puffers" led by Lisa Cope.
It was a delight to see Peggy and her boyfriend Nelson acting and having fun, but it was so great to see seniors having fun! I think it is a wonderful thing what Lisa is doing and I'm glad Peggy and Nelson are involved. This is the type of thing I could see Mama enjoying if I could get her interested in some sort of senior citizen group or activity.
On Sunday Jason and I met Peggy and Mama at the Hardin Baptist Church with pastor Ricky Cunningham. The church was pretty big for such a small community, but several attend from the surrounding communities. I was greeted in the foyer by Lisa Betts – one of my new Facebook friends. The theme for a series the church was introducing that day was "Route 66" and the sanctuary was decorated with Route 66 paraphernalia and road signs. They planned to take the community 'on a trip' for the next 66 weeks using each of the 66 books in the Bible pointing to God and His direction.
It was a fabulous introduction of the adventure they will begin next week and I wish I were there for the next 66 weeks to attend. It was neat how God tied their road trip theme into my path with my own little road trip with Mama. Another God-wink.
Aside from a lunch date with old neighbors today, the next two days will be work days for Jason and I so this ends part one of my road trip with Mama. Stay tuned next week for the continuation when we take Mama around town and I do something scary…

Delivering on the promise of restore...
Austin, TX (PRWEB) January 25, 2014
Collective's RAMP™ appliance finds and fixes 70% of common backup job failures within seconds and without human intervention.
The Collective Group, a leader in the design, implementation and on-going operations of enterprise scale backup and recovery infrastructure, today announced general availability of RAMP™ - its unique Remote Auto-Remediation Management Platform. Delivered as a cloud managed appliance, RAMP uses sophisticated monitoring and decision making capability to recognize and remediate the sources of potential backup job failures– all within a matter of seconds and without human intervention. When escalation to humans is warranted, RAMP surrounds them with a powerful Backup Operations Expert System designed to guide them toward successful resolutions quickly and easily.
Built on an object framework, a single RAMP appliance can monitor and manage backup operations for thousands of backup clients to a 99+% backup success rate, guaranteeing that mission critical data is available for restore when needed.
Deploying RAMP results in:
- 80% reduction in level 1 support costs
- 50% reduction in Level 2 support costs
- Greatly enhanced reporting capabilities
- Faster ticket resolution times
- Full attainment of Backup Operational goals
Available as either a physical or virtual appliance, RAMP's agentless technology works seamlessly with the existing backup and recovery infrastructure, often requiring no significant modifications to the environment. RAMP works in concert with every popular backup software environment (NetBackup, Networker, Avamar, Commvault, NetVault, and TSM) to provide the following functions:
- "Pre-Flight" checks to ensure backup job element readiness
- Auto-Remediation of 70% of common backup job failures
- Sophisticated Reporting capability
- Single Pane of Glass for heterogeneous backup environment management
- Expert System driven operational efficiency
RAMP is available in three versions:
Service Provider Edition - designed specifically for Service Providers tasked with managing complex backup operations for multiple customers simultaneously. RAMP-SPs' multi-tenancy capability allows Service Providers to operate hundreds of customers' backup environments using a single RAMP appliance.
Enterprise Edition - Designed for use by enterprise-scale customers who want to improve the performance of their in-house backup operations support teams. RAMP's single pane of glass approach allows support teams to manage multiple backup product environments without the need for specific backup product knowledge.
TotalOps Edition – the perfect solution for companies looking to completely outsource or out-task their daily backup and recovery operations. RAMP TotalOps sends all post auto-remediation escalations to Collective's Remote Management Center (RMC) for resolution by the best backup subject matter experts in the industry.
Despite large investments in hardware, software and personnel, the vast majority of companies fail to achieve acceptable data protection certainty. This failure can often be traced to incomplete or failed backup jobs. The challenge of successfully completing thousands of sequential backups in often tight time windows can and usually does result in hundreds of alerts and escalations that simply overwhelm even the most committed support teams. Now, for the first time, the technology leverage to tackle this problem is available - RAMP.
Collective's RAMP solves the problem of backup operations.

For example, you implement RAID at the file level by breaking your file down into K chunks, each one sent over the network to different machines. That chunk is really a whole file and is sent to disk (hopefully with an fsync()!) before ack'ing the transaction. They don't worry about data integrity for objects less than that chunk size.At least, this is how we did it in Centera - without doing that, you are definitely open to data loss.Ric

Bruce Sterling gave the interactive conference his annual rant Tuesday, a sendoff that he delivers each year, although the Austin science fiction author no longer has a big party at his house, as he packs a huge conference room instead.
The talk was overwhelming, both for Sterling's colorful metaphors and for, well, its ranting nature. (Nick Douglas live-blogged the rant for Valleywag.) But upon reflection, he made a lot of sense.
He exhorted people to support former FCC Chairman Reed Hundt's effort to open up some spectrum for public broadband, Frontline Wireless. He blasted television for making such poor use of the spectrum. "Broadcast television is an evil medium that debases even the poverty-stricken people who watch it," he said.
Meanwhile, he contended that the U.S. is 22nd in world-wide broadband access. "Semi-literate divorcees in South Korea have better broadband than our top-end people do," he said. "It is nationally embarrassing."
He urged the audience to volunteer to help Hundt spruce up his Web site — "it's paralyzingly dull" — and help him "pry the spectrum out of the enfeebled hands of the elderly broadcast industry."
Sterling devoted the rest of his talk to a long explanation of Yale law professor Yochai Benkler's theories of "socially-motivated, commons-based peer production," saying we need to understand it because Al Qaeda is perhaps the most efficient organization using those principles.
Yet Benkler's Web site is also boring, he said, and his most important ideas don't make it to the mainstream discourse. Again, he appealed to the Web gurus in the audience: "Maybe there's one or two of you here who could actually help that guy."

Chevrolet revived a famous old name when it issued a modern version of the Impala for 2000. The new front-drive midsize sedan was smaller in dimensions, sharing its basic understructure with the Buick Century and Regal, Oldsmobile Intrigue, and Pontiac Grand Prix. A 3.4-liter V6 engine was standard in the base model. The upscale LS sedan got a 3.8-liter V6, which was optional on the base Impala. Both had a four-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel disc brakes, 16-inch wheels, air conditioning, power windows, and power door locks. A side-impact airbag for the driver was standard in the LS and optional in the base Impala. Also standard in the LS were antilock braking, a tire-inflation monitor, traction control, and a firm-ride suspension. Each of those extras also was included with the bigger-engine option for the base-model Impala. Leather upholstery was available for both models, including a split folding rear seatback.

I had a "visit" from my mom yesterday during a nap. Those times are always special and comforting for me. I fell asleep with the television on, and I thought it was neat that she watched Bethenny! I woke up very shortly after that.

Cloud Caitlind r.c. Brown
Caitlind Brown is an artist from Calgary, Alberta, who created this large-scale light installation named "Cloud" to be presented at the annual multi-city late-night arts festival (Nuit Blanche) in Calgary this year. The installation invites its visitors to interact by pulling the cords and turning the lights on and off !! This electric Cloud is made of steel, metal pull strings, and 6,000 light bulbs, that turn waste into art (only one in every six light bulbs actually needs to glow). The idea being that instead of wasting bulbs by throwing them away they would be put to a better, and more creative use, by turning trash in to treasure, and waste into art.

Obama Supports Call for Charles Taylor to be Transferred to Special Court
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) today released the following statement in support of President Johnson-Sirleaf's request to have former Liberian President Charles Taylor sent to the Special Court for Sierra Leone:
"I commend President Johnson-Sirleaf for making a request to have Charles Taylor sent to the Special Court for Sierra Leone. It is a difficult and courageous decision. I call on President Obasanjo to facilitate the immediate and orderly transfer of Charles Taylor in order to face the charges brought against and help to close a horrible chapter in West African history."
Taylor has been accused of committing war crimes by international prosecutors in Sierra Leone. He was given political asylum by Obasanjo in August 2003 and has been living in the Nigerian city of Calabar.
On July 19, 2005, Senator Obama offered a bipartisan amendment, along with Senators Hagel, Leahy, and Gregg, to the Foreign Operations Appropriations bill to provide $13m for the Special Court for Sierra Leone. The Obama-Hagel amendment, which was retained in conference and enacted into law on November 14, 2005, provides critical funding to keep the Court up and running for the near future and dramatically enhances efforts to bring Charles Taylor to justice. In a letter to Senator Obama, the Chief Prosecutor of the Special Court, Desmond de Silva, wrote, "The knowledge that we have secure funding for 2006 now allows me to concentrate my energies and efforts to bring Mr. Taylor to trial...."
Following adoption of the amendment, Obama teamed up with Republican Congressman Ed Royce on December 13, 2005 to write a bipartisan, bicameral letter to Secretary Rice calling on the State Department to urge President Johnson-Sirleaf to request the transfer of Taylor to the Special Court for Sierra Leone. The letter said "Such a call by the Liberian President-Elect would send a powerful message that the use of violence to achieve political ends is no longer acceptable in West Africa, and would help usher in a new era for the rule of law in the region."
