I would have to say no, wart remover is not something you should use on your feet if you are diabeteic. The reason is that most wart removers are nothing more than acid that will eat away at the wart. The bad thing is that the acid can eat away at the healthy skin around the wart and cause an opening for infection. My advice to you would be to see a dermatologist and let them know that you are diabetic prior to having the wart removed to see what the safest option would be. Hope you find this information helpful.

While many "chemical" products are available and "pricey" a truly natural product is the raisin. Simply cut a raisin in half, place the juicy side over the wary and cover with a bandaid. Replace the raisin every time the bandaid comes off. Within a couple of weeks the wart will fall off with no bleeding or scaring.

You can also try Duct Tape, my daughter is also a diabetic..My Grandmother said thats what they used to use,it does take a long while but eventually it will come off with the tape.Make sure feet are dry and put it on before bed,she may want to put socks on.Just cut a li'l piece and apply. But when she had a colony,thats what the Doctor(just our reg. MD)called it.She froze it off in the office,but that took 3 appts. Not painful either, Good Luck :)

My non-diabetic daughter had warts on her feet several years ago. Researched treatment options - thought invasive surgical procedures looked painful and would take a long time to heal.
Decided to try the all natural wart treatment by Pure Healing - kind of pricey but cheaper than surgery and completely non-invasive - and if it didn't work, surgery could still be an option.
Took a few weeks and a lot of bandaids ;-) but she treated them faithfully every night and they slowly disappeared - no cuts, stitches, scars or pain! Also worked on warts on my hands, and I am a diabetic.
Was skeptical, but it worked for us and I'm so glad we tried it - I'm a firm believer in the product and I keep a bottle on hand for any wart outbreaks.

BOSTON (AP) — Gov. Deval Patrick says word that Boston has been named as one of four finalists for a possible U.S. bid to host the 2024 Olympics represents a "great opportunity" for Massachusetts.
Patrick said Friday that he looked forward to the region putting together a plan for hosting the games, adding that it could help the state accomplish some of its goals for improving transportation.
A special legislative commission that explored the feasibility of an Olympic bid said in a February report that Boston had experience in hosting international events, and the region already had many venues suitable for Olympic events.
The group "No Boston Olympics" says the money involved in bringing the games would be better spent on improving Massachusetts schools or public transportation systems.

This article is part of the Stairway Series: Stairway to XML
XML has been part of the SQL Standard since 2003, and it is also essential for any DBA because so many of the dynamic management views return XML data. Now that the industry is more used to data defined by document markup, it is becoming more important than ever for Database Developers and DBAs to understand the technology and to know where it makes sense to use XML. In this series of articles, Robert Sheldon flexes his talent to make the complicated seem simple. Note: This series of articles is now available as an eBook.
In the last Level of this series, I introduced you to the query() and value() methods, which are available to the XML data type and can be used to query data from an XML instance. As you'll recall, the query() method returns a subset of untyped XML from the target XML column (or other XML object), and the value() method returns a scalar value of a specified data type.
In this Level, I introduce you to two more XML methods: exist() and nodes(). Like the query() and value() methods, the exist() and nodes() methods let you query XML data by specifying an XQuery expression. However, the results returned by the methods are much different from query() and value(). The exist() method returns a BIT value, and the nodes() method returns a rowset view used to shred the XML instance. This will all become clearer as we work through the exercises.
As mentioned in the last Level, XQuery is a complex language. We can touch upon only some of its elements in this Level. For a more thorough understanding of XQuery and how it's implemented in SQL Server, see the MSDN XQuery language reference.
To demonstrate the exist() and nodes() methods, I used the same test environment I set up in the last Level. I created a database named ClientDB, an XML schema collection named ClientInfoCollection, and a table named ClientInfo (all created on a local instance of SQL Server 2008 R2), as shown in Listing 1.
USE master; GO IF DB_ID('ClientDB') IS NOT NULL DROP DATABASE ClientDB; GO CREATE DATABASE ClientDB; GO USE ClientDB; GO IF OBJECT_ID('ClientInfoCollection') IS NOT NULL DROP XML SCHEMA COLLECTION ClientInfoCollection; GO CREATE XML SCHEMA COLLECTION ClientInfoCollection AS '<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="urn:ClientInfoNamespace" targetNamespace="urn:ClientInfoNamespace" elementFormDefault="qualified"> <xsd:element name="People"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="Person" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="FirstName" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" /> <xsd:element name="LastName" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" /> <xsd:element name="FavoriteBook" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="5" /> </xsd:sequence> <xsd:attribute name="id" type="xsd:integer" use="required"/> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> </xsd:schema>'; GO IF OBJECT_ID('ClientInfo') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE ClientInfo; GO CREATE TABLE ClientInfo ( ClientID INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY, Info_untyped XML, Info_typed XML(ClientInfoCollection) ); INSERT INTO ClientInfo (Info_untyped, Info_typed) VALUES ( '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <People> <Person id="1234"> <FirstName>John</FirstName> <LastName>Doe</LastName> </Person> <Person id="5678"> <FirstName>Jane</FirstName> <LastName>Doe</LastName> </Person> </People>', '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <People xmlns="urn:ClientInfoNamespace"> <Person id="1234"> <FirstName>John</FirstName> <LastName>Doe</LastName> </Person> <Person id="5678"> <FirstName>Jane</FirstName> <LastName>Doe</LastName> </Person> </People>' );
Listing 1: Setting up the test environment for the examples in this Level
Notice in Listing 1 that the ClientInfo table includes two XML columns, one untyped and one typed. In addition, the listing includes an INSERT statement that adds a row to the table. If you decide to try out the examples in this Level, you'll need to run this code before proceeding.
The exist() method tests for the existence of an element in the targeted XML instance. That element is specified by the XQuery expression passed into the method. As the following syntax shows, you enclose the expression in single quotes and parentheses:
The db_object placeholder is the XML column, variable, or parameter that contains the targeted XML instance, and the xquery_exp placeholder is an expression made up of the XQuery elements supported by SQL Server.
So far, this is all pretty much like the query() and value() methods described in the last Level. However, the difference comes in the results being returned. The exist() method does not retrieve an XML element or one of its values, but instead returns one of the following values, based on the existence of the element specified in the XQuery expression:
The best way to understand how the exist() method works is to see it in action. In Listing 2, I use the method to test for the existence of a <FirstName> element with a value equal to Jane. Notice that I've enclosed the element in brackets and used double quotes for the string value.
SELECT Info_untyped.exist( '/People/Person[FirstName="Jane"]') FROM ClientInfo;
Listing 2: Verifying the existence of a specific element
Because the specified element exists in the targeted XML instance, the SELECT statement returns the value 1, which is the result we expected.
As you can see, it's a relatively straightforward process to use the exist() method against an untyped XML column. To use the method against a typed XML object, you must include the required namespace-related information, as shown in Listing 3.
SELECT Info_untyped.exist( '/People/Person[FirstName="Jane"]'), Info_typed.exist( 'declare namespace ns="urn:ClientInfoNamespace"; /ns:People/ns:Person[ns:FirstName="Jane"]') FROM ClientInfo;
Listing 3: Verifying the existence of an element in a typed column
As you would expect (if you read Level 4), your xquery_exp argument is divided into two parts, separated by a semi-colon, with the entire argument enclosed in single quotes. The first part is the namespace declaration, which specifies the namespace used by the targeted XML instance and defines an alias (ns) for that namespace. The second part of the argument is the path name itself, with ns: inserted before each element. Because the typed column, like the untyped column, contains the element specified by the XQuery expression, it too returns a value of 1.
But suppose the element specified in the expression does not exist, as is the case in Listing 4. This time, for both the untyped and typed columns, the exist() method is looking for a <FirstName> element whose value is equal to Ralph.
SELECT Info_untyped.exist( '/People/Person[FirstName="Ralph"]'), Info_typed.exist( 'declare namespace ns="urn:ClientInfoNamespace"; /ns:People/ns:Person[ns:FirstName="Ralph"]') FROM ClientInfo;
Listing 4: Testing for a nonexistent value in the typed and untyped columns
Of course, such an element does not exist. As a result, the exist() method, and by extension the SELECT statement, returns a value of 0 for both columns.
So far, the examples have merely provided a way to demonstrate how the exist() method works. In reality, you're much more likely to use the method to check the existence of an element before carrying out another operation.
For example, in Listing 5, I use the exist() method in a SELECT statement's WHERE clause to check for the existence of a <Person> element whose id attribute has a value equal to 5678. If this element exists—that is, the value returned by the exist() method equals 1—the condition specified in the WHERE clause evaluates to TRUE and the data queried in the SELECT list is returned.
SELECT ClientID, Info_untyped.value( 'concat((/People/Person[@id=5678]/FirstName)[1], " ", (/People/Person[@id=5678]/LastName)[1])', 'varchar(25)') AS FullName FROM ClientInfo WHERE Info_untyped.exist( '/People/Person[@id=5678]') = 1;
Listing 5: Using the WHERE clause to test for the existence of an attribute value
The SELECT list itself uses the concat() XQuery function and XML value() method to concatenate the first and last names associated with the <Person> element whose id value equals 5678. Listing 6 shows the results retuned by the SELECT statement. If the WHERE clause had evaluated to FALSE, the statement would have returned no rows.
ClientID FullName ----------- ------------------------- 1 Jane Doe
Listing 6: The results returned after an attribute's existence has been confirmed
SQL Server also lets you pass variable values into your XQuery expression, which is handy if you want to reuse code. In Listing 7, for instance, I modified the preceding example so that the value 5678 could be passed in through the @id variable.
DECLARE @id INT; SET @id = 5678; SELECT ClientID, Info_untyped.value( 'concat((/People/Person[@id=sql:variable("@id")]/FirstName)[1], " ", (/People/Person[@id=sql:variable("@id")]/LastName)[1])', 'varchar(25)') AS FullName FROM ClientInfo WHERE Info_untyped.exist( '/People/Person[@id=sql:variable("@id")]') = 1;
Listing 7: Using a variable to pass a value into an XQuery expression
Notice that, in order to call the variable value from within the XQuery expression, I specified sql:variable("@id"), rather than 5678. Everything else about the SELECT statement is the same as the preceding example, and, as expected, the statement returns the same results.
Of all the XML methods we've discussed so far, the nodes() method is perhaps the trickiest to understand. Unlike the previous methods, which return XML fragments or scalar values, the nodes() method returns a table (rowset view) with a single column, and each row of that table contains a logical copy of the targeted XML instance. The purpose of these results is to let you shred the targeted XML instance into relational data. (This will become clearer as we work through the examples.)
Because the nodes() method returns the data as a rowset view, you can use that method only where a table expression is expected in a Transact-SQL statement, such as in the FROM clause. In addition, you must assign table and column aliases to the method's results, as shown in the following syntax:
db_object.nodes('xquery_exp') AS table_alias(column_alias)
As with other XML methods, you must specify an XML object and an XQuery expression. But you then follow with the table alias and column alias, in parentheses. The aliases let you reference the rowset view from other parts of the SELECT statement.
The key to understanding how to use the nodes() method is in the concept of a context node. Every XML document has an implicit context node, which is at the top level of the XML instance. You can think of the context node as a reference point within the XML instance. When you use the nodes() method, the context node is set to a specific element within each row of data returned by the method. That context node is identified by the XQuery expression you pass into the method. It's the context node that lets you shred the XML data in a meaningful way.
Let's look at an example to demonstrate how this works. But first, we need to add a row to our table. Listing 8 shows the INSERT statement I used to add the row, which adds data only to the untyped column (because that's all we need right now).
INSERT INTO ClientInfo (Info_untyped) VALUES ( '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <People> <Person id="4321"> <FirstName>Jack</FirstName> <LastName>Smith</LastName> </Person> <Person id="8765"> <FirstName>Jill</FirstName> <LastName>Smith</LastName> </Person> </People>' );
Listing 8: Inserting an additional row into the ClientInfo table
Now let's get down to the example. In Listing 9, I use the nodes() method in the FROM clause to return a rowset view of the targeted XML instances. When I call the method, I include an XQuery expression that sets the context node to /People/Person. I also provide the table and column aliases, People and Person, respectively, so I can reference the rowset view in the SELECT list. In addition, I use the nodes() method along with the CROSS APPLY operator in order to associate the ClientInfo table with the rowset view.
SELECT ClientID, Person.query('.') AS Person FROM ClientInfo CROSS APPLY Info_untyped.nodes('/People/Person') AS People(Person);
Listing 9: Using the nodes() method to shred XML data
Although the nodes() method returns a rowset view that you can reference in other parts of the statement, you can refer to that view only through an XML method, as I've done in the SELECT list. However, as you can see, my XQuery expression is merely a period, which is shorthand for referencing the context node. Because of this, the SELECT statement returns the results shown in Table 1. (I put the results in a table to make it easier to read the XML instances in the Person column.)
<Person id="1234">
<Person id="5678">
<Person id="4321">
<Person id="8765">
Table 1: The returned data relative to the context node
Notice that the results include the <Person> element for each person in each row of the ClientInfo table. In other words, because each row in the source table contains two instances of the <Person> element, the rowset view includes two rows for each row in the table, one for each <Person> element. SQL Server then uses the context node to iterate through each XML instance in the rowset view and to return the appropriate instance of <Person>.
Keep in mind that it is the context node that provides the ability to return different results for each row in the rowset view, not the rowset view itself. As you'll recall, each row in the rowset view contains a full copy of the targeted XML instance. SQL Server iterates through each instance based on the element specified by the context node, similar to how a cursor identifies a current row. However, if you were to call the parent of the context node, your results would be much different. For example, in Listing 10, I use the double period for the query() method's XQuery expression, which is shorthand for the context node's parent.
SELECT ClientID, Person.query('..') AS Person FROM ClientInfo CROSS APPLY Info_untyped.nodes('/People/Person') AS People(Person);
Listing 10: Using the context node's parent accessor to return data
Because we're calling the context node's parent, every child element within that parent is also returned, as shown in Table 2. As a result, unique elements are no longer returned for each row in the target table. What this demonstrates, essentially, is that each row in the rowset view contains the entire XML instance.
Table 2: The returned data based on the parent accessor
Chances are, if you're going to use the nodes() method to shred an XML instance, you'll want to do it in a more meaningful way than what I've done so far. In Listing 11, I use the value() method and concat() function to return the full name for each instance of the <Person> element.
SELECT ClientID, Person.value('concat(./FirstName[1], " ", ./LastName[1])', 'varchar(30)') AS FullName FROM ClientInfo CROSS APPLY Info_untyped.nodes('/People/Person') AS People(Person);
Listing 11: Using the context node to return values from child elements
Because I'm using the value() method, my results from the shredded XML are now returned as VARCHAR values, as shown in Listing 12.
ClientID FullName -------- ---------- 1 John Doe 1 Jane Doe 2 Jack Smith 2 Jill Smith
Listing 12: Shredded XML retuned by the SELECT statement
As you can see, the results are now much more useful. The first and last names of each person listed in the two rows of the ClientInfo table are now returned as relational data. It can take some practice to get used to using the nodes() method, but when you do get it figured out, you'll find it a useful tool.
As this Level has demonstrated, you can use the exist() method to check the existence of an element within an XML document or fragment. Most often, you'll be using the method in the WHERE clause to verify an element's existence before proceeding with the rest of the statement. The nodes() method serves a different function. It lets you shred an XML instance and return the information as relational data. In the next level, I'll discuss the modify() method, which is the only XML method that lets you manipulate XML data. In the meantime, don't forget to review the XQuery Language Reference so you better understand how to write XQuery expressions.

Historic downtown adding new restaurants
Orange's historic downtown, once only known for its antique shopping, continues to add destination food brands to its mix of indie restaurant concepts.
The latest restaurants opening soon include LinX artisan sausages and Old Towne Diner. The establishments join Haven Gastropub, Gabbi's Mexican Kitchen, Kimmie's Coffee Cup, Bruxie, Bruery Provisions and The District -- a collection of hipster food and bar concepts that have made Old Towne Orange a top dining spot in central Orange County.
"This is where I always wanted to be -- in Old Towne Orange," said Scott Brandon, chef-owner of LinX.
Brandon, who left The Crow Bar and Kitchen in Corona del Mar about a year ago, plans to open a tiny (less than 1,000-square-feet) counter-service sausage eatery on West Chapman Avenue next to Wahoo's Fish Taco.
Inspired by the exotic sausages served at Wurstkuche in downtown Los Angeles, Brandon's LinX will offer a menu of gourmet sausages, Belgian fries and craft beer.
Brandon has developed proprietary recipes for the sausages and all-beef frankfurters -- all made locally by Europa Specialty Sausages.
Unlike Wurstkuche where toppings are limited, LinX plans to offer a large assortment of 30 housemade toppings. Brandon plans to make bacon and blue cheese aioli, green tomato chow chow, spicy mustard, curry ketchup, pickle relish, smoked onions and various other sauces to go with the restaurant's menu of 10 sausages.
LinX will also serve hot dogs from around the country, including Coney and Chicago dogs.
Decadent, fun desserts will be on tap, including doughnut holes served with warm chocolate ganache for dipping, salted toffee brittle and an oatmeal cookie ice cream sandwich. The restaurant will also have a soup of the day and a fresh market salad.
"I come from a fine-dining background, so I can't do anything simple," said Brandon, who used to work at Oysters in Newport Beach. "I have to doll it up."
Prices have not been set, but Brandon said he wants LinX to be affordable for the community, especially Chapman University students. He also said he plans to source some of his ingredients from Orange's local farmers market.
On the other side of downtown, local realtor Al Ricci is getting into restaurant business.
Ricci, who owns several residential and commercial properties in town, plans to open Old Towne Diner later this week. The restaurant is taking the place of Blue Frog Cafe, a burger eatery that closed abruptly this year after a death in the family.
"It will be a '50s diner, build your own burgers, fries, hot dogs and breakfast," said Ricci, who also runs OC Trolley -- a food and wine trolley tour of Old Towne Orange.
The diner has been extensively overhauled in the last few weeks, adding retro Chevy-style red and white vinyl booths and chrome tables with boomerang tabletop designs. Each booth is also outfitted with a tabletop jukebox.
Ricci has not specified a date for the opening. However, he would like to open the restaurant, located near Zito's Pizza, later this week. Hours: 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
"It will be a blast from the past with only the best quality food," Ricci said.
LinX address: 238 W. Chapman Ave., Orange
Old Towne Diner: 152 N. Glassell St., Orange

The older ones, who now have children of their own, were directly above them. The family was unable to get enough seats in the same row, so it had to split up.It somehow seems perfect that Darger plays for UNLV, though they do happen in Vegas but not stay in Vegas. Darger's siblings range in age from 2 to 40, and none of which plan on being practicing polygamists, mainly because, jeez, wouldn't you want some peace and quiet after growing up like that?

slimey coral i got some LR with some coral and stuff on it, not sure wat exactly they r,hopefully ill get a camera soon and we can all play name the stuff in the fish tank, cause i have NO idea just that it was a bargan on the live rock.but the stuff is making a slime thats very long, i was thinking its stressed and put some of that blue mythadol or somthing in it that i use to acclimate the fish n stop them from stressing.how long does this process last? and or have i done somthing wrong? the salt is on 1.018 i know its abit low but gonna step it up to about 1.022/23 soon just have to do it slowly due to my invert being sensative to salt changes.hopefully put some pics in a couple of hours but any advise would be awsome.thanks in advance! |
Those corals are dead and polluting your tank. I'm not sure what the chemical is you added or why you did it. You should never treat the tank, only the affected. As in, you should have removed the coral and treated elsewhere. But I'm sure it was looking like that before the chemical treatment. You are in the stage known as "brown jelly disease". The plate coral, fungia, should be on the sand. Placing it on the rocks will kill it. They swell up at night with flesh and move themselves around. The only motile coral known. By placing it on rocks you allow it to abrade the flesh when it puffs up. Those tiny cuts and scrapes allowed a bacteria infection. That is provided that coral was ever actually alive. Don't throw the skeleton away. Prevent algae from growing on it by placing it in a dark area for about 6 months. Then place it back in the light. They generally will begin to grow again. The chalice, echinopora (sp?) was a nice coral. They have high demands. I'm not sure if there was enough of it left to save. |

Hospital Board members are expected to discuss a proposal tonight from the Moffat County Habitat for Humanity group to purchase a home for low-income residents.
Habitat for Humanity members have proposed purchasing a property owned by The Memorial Hospital and Moffat County at a reduced price in an effort to launch the group's first project. Hospital Board members asked the group to bring more information to tonight's presentation.
"I don't think we've really had a chance to discuss it," Board member Sue Lyster said of the proposal. "I think it's a great community idea if the numbers shake out."
Habitat for Humanity mem--bers want to purchase the home at 745 Yampa Ave. to rework as the group's first local home available to a low-income family. Members have proposed buying the property for $25,000 by making $100 monthly payments and interest to the hospital.
Hospital Board members ori--gin-ally were concerned about legal repercussions of accepting Habitat's proposal after they previously denied two offers of $50,000 for the house.
Board members also said they needed to check with Moffat County Commi-ssioners about the proposal because the house is county-owned.
TMH has sold nine houses that it previously had purchased when officials considered expanding operations around the current facility. Sales figures have topped $1 million, which officials have said will be used toward a building fund for a new hospital.
Other agenda items for tonight's meeting include:
Consideration of a 2005 management plan.
An update on the hospital's monthly continuous quality improvement report.

AWESOME!!!!!! I debated on which brand to buy. I have an original CHI professional flat iron and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I also got the CHI AIR 1.5" curling iron and I think its just 2 big and the curls come out good but they only last about an hour but again thinking if I'd gotten a 1" that wouldv'e been better. So I tried this and wow!!! The iron heats up in like seconds literally Iplugged it in and like 10 seconda later it was up to 350(the max is 410). Curls fast I hold my hair on for about 15 seconds and the curls are awesome and are so far lasting great. I didn't use any product either. I'm very glad I went with the CHI. :)

Love this Curling Iron! My hair is straight, straight, straight. I have a very difficult time getting it to hold a curl at all. I had given up even trying, but then a friend suggested I use her Chi Curler and see if that worked better. I was amazed! Beautiful curls that hold all day! I love it! Had to get one of my own. This is fabulous.

The nation's largest Bike Sharing program, scheduled to launch in NYC with 600 stations and 10,000 bikes this July, recently revealed a plan for 54 of the bike sharing stations, most of which will support more than 30 bicycles each. The locations were reveal by the NYC Department of Transportation during a Manhattan Community Board 4 meeting. Also introduced during the meeting were the local requirements for the stations and the strategy for placing 100+ bikes at some of the world's busiest transportation hubs, Pennsylvania Station and Port Authority Terminal.
Last fall when Alta's Bike Sharing program for NYC was announced, suggestions for the 600 station locations immediately flooded the DOT's website. Since then, Alta has hosted several "open houses" introducing the bikes and the docking stations, but until the Community Board 4 (Midtown Manhattan) meeting last week there was no word on where the locations would be.
Although no locations are 100% yet, the current picture is looking transformational to how New Yorkers get around. In cooperation with NYC Department of Transportation, local community board meetings have begun the process of reviewing how these stations will work in their neighborhoods. One of the first requirements is that the stations will be located on the street to preserve the sidewalk and intense flows of foot traffic, particularly around transportation connection hubs like Penn Station. CB 4 District Manager Jenna Chrisphonte explains, "You couldn't put it right in front of the subway entrance."
From the newly released plans, it looks like 180 bicycle docks wil be placed at Penn Station, and Port Authority will get 140. Smaller stations will be set up in less trafficked spots, such as the South East corner of 41st street and 8th Avenue across the street from the Port Authority entrance. The east side of Broadway and 9th Avenue, where bike lanes and public spaces have already begun to develop, are also prime targets for several smaller stations a few blocks apart. 54 bike sharing locations on the West side of Manhattan are currently proposed, with the majority supporting more than 30 bicycles per station.
The ongoing collaborative nature between Alta, NYC DOT, and all the local community boards is not only a fantastic example of adaptive urban change, but it's completely necessary. New York City's Bike Share program is not the first, but it will be one of the largest systems in the world. Washington D.C.'s well-regarded Capital Bike share system has a mere 23 docking stations in front of Union Station and another 23 stations a few blocks away. New York's transportation connection hubs are more than twice as large and far more logistically complex.
One of the most interesting things about the stations is that each can be set up or taken apart in an hour. This will allow everyone to see how the stations succeed or fail in the wild, while allowing planners to easily modify locations. The DOT has several meetings coming up if you want to voice your opinion.

Undercover Agents Take Down Car Thieves
Thursday, May 24, 2012
Aired 5/25/12 on KPBS News.
San Diego authorities are working to nab car thieves in the county through undercover operations.
SAN DIEGO San Diego authorities are working to nab car thieves in the county through undercover operations.
The San Diego County District Attorney's office says the latest operations resulted in the indictments of 31 alleged car thieves.
Deputy District Attorney Matthew Dix says undercover agents worked for four months posing as stolen car buyers to take down auto-theft rings.
"These are not people who are just having a bad day and decide to steal a car," he said. "These are people that have a sophisticated group. One person is the mechanic. One is the wheeler and dealer with the money."
Dix said a stolen car is often sold for just a few hundred dollars. Cars like Hondas and Toyotas are often targeted because thieves are familiar with how they work and can get into them easily. The cars are often taken across the border.
Dix said thieves commonly sneak into people's homes and steal keys hanging near doors then come back later and steal the car. Sometimes it's not even that complicated.
"You'd be amazed at how many people leave a spare key in the center console of their car," he said.
San Diego is rated 15th in the nation for auto theft, down from third in 2007.
District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis is currently running for San Diego Mayor.

Great job! As an additional move, pushing the envelope of entrapment is entirely appropriate if or when that's ever considered. Many support it.
Roberto Rolando Salinas | May 25, 2012 at 11:18 a.m. ― 4 years, 10 months ago
I find it very puzzling that none of the 31-people arrested are named. I find it even more puzzling that the number of stolen vehicles wasn't mentioned. I know that most all law enforcement agencies are backing DA Dumanis, but calling a news conference to announce the outcome of a four month investigation with very little specifics, is more suspect. Great photo op with the candidate for mayor surrounded by uniform department heads and the San Diego police chief. We'll see how many of the arrest will hold up in court. As we have seen in past cases with this DA, not all is as reported. Dumanis is exceptionally proud of having the highest conviction rate in the state. As we have seen through out her career, high prosecution rates aren't necessarily just, nor did they protect at least one victim, after reporting being raped and kidnapped, to her investigators.

@RobertoRolando: Well put. You didn't mention the timing of the "operation," and the timing of the press conference. (But not to worry; if you didn't know Dumanis was running for mayor, KPBS was nice enough to tell you.) I don't understand why KPBS chose to run this in so much space and airtime. (No, I do understand. As do you.)

Dubai: Just Add Money
In 15 years, Dubai has gone from a backwater refueling stop to a playpen for the rich, thanks to one of the grandest building schemes that the modern world has ever seen. But is there any reason for normal people to visit?
What about the rest of us? The mere mortals who don't have $2,000 a night to drop on a hotel room? The good news is that some of that opulence is within reach. I spent a blissful two hours being pampered to the point of embarrassment in the Oriental Hammam of the One & Only Royal Mirage Hotel. From the moment I arrived, I was attended to like some sort of empress, too precious and delicate to tie my own robe sash or dry my own dewy skin. I was escorted into the dressing room, helped into a cotton robe, then led into a humid marble chamber that echoed with the soothing sounds of splashing water. I lay on a warm marble slab while a woman named Leila scrubbed me with eucalyptus-scented Moroccan soap. After rinsing me with bowl after bowl of hot water, she led me into a steam room, rinsed me again, exfoliated my dry skin, and then slathered me in ghassoul, a mixture of clay and eucalyptus oil. She then applied a honey mask and a couple of cotton pads to my eyes. I was then led to a massage table scattered with rose petals and massaged for 20 bittersweet final minutes, dulcimers pinging quietly in the background. It was far and away the best $100 that I've ever spent.
A few days later, I had afternoon tea in the garishly colorful lobby of the aforementioned $2,000-a-night hotel, the Burj Al Arab. For $40, the Burj used to allow the hoi polloi to enter the hotel and take in its soaring 24-karat-gold-leaf columns and helipad. These days, however, the only way that nonguests can catch a glimpse of its infamous excess is to make reservations for afternoon tea or evening cocktails a week or two ahead of time. Guests at cocktail hour--or Indulgent afternoon tea, which costs $35 more than the Regular afternoon tea--get to sit in the Sky Bar and gaze out at The World, a man-made archipelago laid out like a map of the Earth, or at least the 90 percent of it deemed most desirable. Each island is sold separately, so the developers of The World have quietly eliminated countries that don't have strong marketing potential. Israel is nowhere to be found, and North and South Korea have been reunified.
I wish I could say that afternoon tea at the Burj was worth the $61 price tag, but as I sat perched on a fire-engine-red divan eating wafer-thin sandwiches and mediocre scones, listening to florid versions of Sting songs played on a grand piano by a woman in a long satin dress, and watching computerized colored fountains shoot 100 feet into the air, I felt like I'd been had. Sure, the admission price gave me access to the Sky Bar (if only for a five-minute post-tea glimpse), with its eight-foot-high picture windows, and the views of The World and the Gulf of Arabia at sunset were mesmerizing. But as I crept around the corridor of the mezzanine admiring the 22-karat-gold-flecked mosaic floors, I found myself wondering who in the crowd belonged, and who didn't. That guy flipping through a newspaper on the couch next to me? He seemed to belong. The ones taking a video of the escalator? Interlopers, just like me.
I was more than happy to go back to my lovely $160-a-night hotel, the Arabian Courtyard, which had no gold leaf, but no tourists ogling the lobby, either; it did have appealing rooms with hardwood floors and richly colored upholstery.
Even if I were staying at the Burj, I wouldn't want to spend my entire time in Dubai cocooned in a five-star hotel. After all, luxury in Dubai doesn't feel very different from luxury in Bali or Paris or Cabo San Lucas. Better to get out on the streets of Deira or Bur Dubai, the two neighborhoods that flank Dubai Creek, to experience the rush of a dozen cultures at once. Indian women jostle each other for sidewalk space at the Covered Souk, where bejeweled saris tempt them from the store windows. Men in white dishdashas and checkered head scarves lounge on the banks of Dubai Creek at the end of the day, sandals shed. Emirati teenagers gather at the local sheesha café, Blue Barjeel, the boys in baggy jeans, the girls in tight ones, all sipping Turkish coffee and smoking apple tobacco and flirting. Forget the malls: At the marketplaces along the creek, you'll find rose water from Iran, tea sets from China, and lapis lazuli from Afghanistan.
But Dubai's heady brew of cultures is best experienced through your taste buds. Within its 22 square miles, I encountered tuna sashimi, enchiladas, tiramisu, tandoori chicken, flan, chili fries, pain au chocolat, and lots and lots of shish kebab and hummus. Much of it was improbably hidden away in hotels, which I typically associate with generic Euro-cuisine.
At the Park Hyatt, I approached The Thai Kitchen via lighted walkways graced by palm trees and candlelit staircases. The restaurant studiously emulates the casual openness of a Thai marketplace: In the three open kitchens, sous-chefs steam rice in bamboo baskets and grind herbs and spices into pastes with wooden mortars and pestles. No simple pad thai served here: The menu features odd and intriguing combinations of ingredients, such as spicy pomelo salad: segments of grapefruit-like pomelo and steamed prawns accented by sweet, crunchy shallots and tamarind sauce.

Terri Dawn Moody Fatka was sentenced to eight years in prison Wednesday for her role in embezzling more than $1 million from Alpine Bank and its account holders, a crime prosecutor Carl Stahl called "probably the largest theft that this county has ever seen."
Fatka, 41, pleaded guilty June 23 to four counts each of felony theft and forgery for conspiring to steal the money from account holders at the Steamboat Springs branch of Alpine Bank. Fatka's sentence includes eight years in prison followed by five years of mandatory parole. She also will have to pay an undefined amount of restitution.
Her alleged co-conspirator, Pamela Jean Williams, 42, entered not guilty pleas Aug. 13 and will stand trial next year.
Fatka's cooperation with the investigation was a mitigating factor in her sentencing, Judge Shelley Hill said. In its pre-sentence investigation, the Probation Department recommended Fatka be sentenced to 12 years in prison.
In interviews with investigators in June, Fatka said she and Williams handpicked people who kept poor track of their accounts and stole the funds a little at a time, using forged advice of charge forms. They spent the money on lavish Las Vegas vacations, cars and jewelry, among other expenses.
"They were surrounded by money in their jobs at the bank, and they made the conscious and willing decision to break that trust," Stahl said in court Wednesday. "They made it hundreds of times, almost every day, for several years."
Alpine Bank President Adonna Allen described the financial and emotional hardship Fatka's actions have placed on the bank and its customers. The bank reimbursed its six affected account holders, spent more than 100 hours on the ensuing internal investigation and suffered immeasurable damage to its reputation in the community, Allen said.
Of the 14 coworkers at Alpine Bank when Williams and Fatka were arrested in February, only six remain, Allen said.
"We can't go to Safeway or Wal-Mart without answering questions from the public," Allen said. "Beyond just damaging the victims, they damaged the bank."
For the victims, the effects went far beyond the amount of money stolen, said attorney Elizabeth Wittemyer, who represents a local man who had funds embezzled from his construction company's business account. The thefts resulted in years of financial hardship for the company, causing her client to lose business and vendors, and occasionally, to be unable to pay his workers, she said.
"I am not being overly dramatic in saying that children went hungry and housing was lost while Ms. Fatka was in Vegas," Wittemyer said.
Fatka collected herself long enough to apologize to former co-workers and local bank officials who were present in the courtroom at her sentencing.
"I would like to say that I am so very sorry, from the bottom of my heart. I knew it was wrong, and I've hurt all these people," Fatka said.
Erick Knaus, Fatka's attorney, originally requested that Wednesday's sentencing be postponed because of a dispute in the restitution figure cited in the Probation Department's pre-sentence investigation. Hill denied his request to postpone sentencing, although the final restitution figure will be determined at a later date.
The alleged total amount embezzled by Williams and Fatka has been estimated as high as $1.4 million, but certainly is well more than $1 million, Stahl said. Alpine Bank tallies the total at more than $1.3 million, Allen said.
Williams' trial, set to last for seven days, will begin at 8:30 a.m. Feb. 2., 2009, in Routt County District Court.

I am having a flashback when it comes to the tech I keep in my home. The good news is that there's a lot of incredible vintage and retro-style tech out there. So this week I'm rounding up some of my favorite retro speakers and radios for My Life Scoop. Click here to read the full post! — Stephanie
I have the 05 Specktone in green. It is acting touchy…and we can't find anyone to fix it. Specktone won't even touch it. Bummer. Beautiful though so I hate to get rid of it. Everyone asks about it!
I was gifted the Tivoli Audio radio a few years ago. I actually put it on my wishlist after seeing it on the Elephantine blog and was so happy to get it. It's now in our kitchen providing lots of great radio and music.
Love this! What is the #1 in this post? I don't see it in the full Life Scoop post, but love it and want one!
4 and 5 remind me of radios that my grandma had. They broke down after a while, but they were kept as decoration for a good 10 years after that.
You brought back my memories. i loved the good old days with listening to these radios.
I want to get one of these! I love the retro look for sure. It really does bring back memories.

Kelly Clarkson, Snoop Dogg, Lionel Richie and the Civil Wars are up for CMA Awards Thursday night. This is country music?
How weird are this year's Country Music Association award nominations?
Pop singer Kelly Clarkson is up for female vocalist of the year, on the strength of a country mix of her Mr. Know It All single and a duet with Jason Aldean from 2010. The Civil Wars, a folk duo that almost never gets played on country radio, has a decent shot at winning at least one of its two nominated categories. Rock and pop singers wrote three of the five top-song nominees. And rapper Snoop Dogg appears on what may be the most traditional-sounding country song in the field.
What's going on?
BALLOT: Who should, will win?
PHOTOS: Country stars who've never won a CMA Award
PHOTOS: Pop stars who've won CMA Awards
"With radio and label consolidation, the number of viable artists has shrunk noticeably over the past couple years," says Chet Flippo, editorial director at CMT. "It's really obvious that the ranks of good country artists have been decimated. It's especially affecting women. Radio doesn't want women artists, labels aren't signing them, and it's showing up in the charts."
Contending against the likes of Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert, Clarkson isn't likely to win her category Thursday when the 46th annual CMA Awards airs live from Nashville (ABC, 8 p.m. ET/tape delay PT). And Snoop's nomination -- for a collaboration with Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Jamey Johnson called Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die -- faces stiff competition from entries by Lionel Richie and Darius Rucker, Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson and the Zac Brown Band, and Taylor Swift and the Civil Wars.
But while the Civil Wars are a dark-horse nominee in the vocal-duo category, a win over Sugarland, Big & Rich, Thompson Square and Love and Theft isn't completely out of the question. The duo's Barton Hollow album has gone gold via savvy viral marketing and well-timed television performances.
"It is quite possible, based on the critical acclaim and their pairing with Taylor Swift, that the Civil Wars could really make a viable contender for vocal duo," says Mike Moore, director of country programming at Entercom Communications in Portland, Ore. However, Moore adds, "I don't think radio's going to vote for them en masse."
The song-of-the-year nominees with pop songwriters all had radio success, though. Eli Young Band covered Nashville rocker Will Hoge's Even If It Breaks Your Heart. Blake Shelton introduced pop singer/songwriter Dave Barnes' God Gave Me You to a country audience. Dierks Bentley co-wrote Home with Semisonic-frontman-turned-songwriter/producer Dan Wilson and his co-producer Brett Beavers. Any of those three might take the trophy in a category that also includes a song called Springsteen from this year's most nominated artist, Eric Church (with five), as well as Lambert's Over You, which she wrote with Shelton.
"Those songs are all worthy; they all did well from a chart standpoint," Moore says. "Obviously, people from other worlds are taking note of what's happening in Nashville."

Gunn Oracle Rejects Teacher Advisor System
Original post made by Listen to the children, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Nov 5, 2012
"Adoption of a Teacher Advisory system is not what The Oracle staff had in mind when the consultant survey showed a satisfaction discrepancy in guidance service quality compared to Paly. Instead, the emphasis lies in revamping both systems accordingly, and providing comparable services not necessarily by exchanging 'best' practices, but by defining a metric that both schools will reach."

If Gunn students don't want TA, why has Ken Dauber made "TA at Gunn" one of his key campaign platforms?

The real question is - what do the Parents Want?
PAUSD and its teachers are vendors of services-Palo Alto parents are the customers/clients-we homeowners and property owners pay the money.
Therefore it should be our choice-the taxpaying Palo Alto parents.
Public school districts are unaccountable bureaucracies-bloated-with too much overhead and corrupt unions
Time for a real change towards accountability for teachers and school districts

The students may say they don't want TAs, but they probably need them. They are still immature enough not to know what they need, as opposed to want they want.
There is obviously something wrong with their counseling system, and a change is called for. If it isn't TAs, it must be something equally as effective.

That's wonderful! When the children of Dauber's WCDBPA say vote for him it's all we should listen to our children. When students at Gunn say what they want it's all they're too immature and don't know what they are talking about.

on Nov 5, 2012 at 7:08 pm
I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the Gunn students given the not so favorable things that the Paly students say about their TA sessions -- only 33% thought they were valuable.
According to students, Gunn's guidance program trumps Paly's on some key measures:
Gotten to know students well: 59% Gunn compared to 53% Paly
A valuable resource for students: 72% Gunn compared to 57% Paly

"In reality, when you have once devoted your life to your enterprises, you are no longer the equal of other men, or, rather, other men are no longer your equals, and whosoever has taken this resolution, feels his strength and resources doubled."
A character — good or evil, male or female, young or old — who never gives up. Ever. No matter what.
There is no stopping the Determinator. They do not understand tact. They do not Know When to Fold 'Em, and it's a waste of time to tell them the odds. No one can reason with them. They'll do whatever they have to without question. No price is too great to pay for success, up to and including their own life. Do not expect them to realize they might be better off letting it go, even if they can barely stand. If you're ever kidnapped or lost with no hope of rescue, they'll be the one who will find you. Their adversaries will shout, in exasperated rage, "Why Won't You Die?!". For them, there is no line between "perseverance" and "insanity."
The nobility of their goal is not necessarily proportionate to their persistence. This is just as often an obsessive rival with a grudge as it is a hero on a chivalrous quest, and where their willpower ultimately leads them will depend both on their role and on where the work stands on the Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism. Heroes — especially Badass Normals with a Screw Destiny attitude — will defeat villains by virtue of being too stubborn to stay down. Anti Heroes will Jump Off The Slippery Slope, forsake The Powers of Love and Friendship, become like that which they fight, and walk the thin line between victory and tragedy. Villains will refuse to admit defeat, resist seemingly fatal punishment, hunt their prey tirelessly and relentlessly, and let the heroes know that We Will Meet Again.
Shōnen anime and manga love this trope, such that it is quite rare to find a protagonist of these works who isn't a Determinator and is guaranteed where super-heated blood is involved.
Compare and contrast with Implacable Man — while a Determinator pursues his goal through sheer willpower, the Implacable Man is driven by artificial, unnatural, or magical means, and often suffers no apparent damage at all.
Compare Suicidal Overconfidence, a common feature of many Video Game genres where enemies will always, blindly, and relentlessly be at your throat with no regard for how horribly you are massacring them (though this is more due to genre requirements than characterization). Compare Tragic Dream, where becoming a Determinator can only end in tears. Can be identified by their trademark Determined Expression.
