I Feel Guilty When I Cancel Reservations
Dear Critic, What are your thoughts about canceling restaurant reservations? On weekends, my friends often make several reservations so that they have options at the last minute, but I feel uncomfortable doing so. Is this standard practice? Am I the odd woman out?
As with so many matters in life, this question boils down to good faith. My perspective? Only make reservations if you're intending to keep them.
Is it your right, as a dining customer, to call restaurants willy-nilly and book all the 8 p.m. Saturday four-tops you might show up for? Technically, sure. No one will file suit. But by making a reservation, you're entering into an informal contract; they'll be ready for you, if you show up for them.
That's how life usually works, right? You don't schedule multiple meetings simultaneously, only to cancel some later. You don't make three coffee dates and then decide day-of which friend you actually want to chat with. (At least, I hope you don't.)
A seat reserved for you is a seat with no one else in it. Empty tables translate to lost revenue, and for restaurants that operate on slim margins that can be brutal.
Of course, sometimes you've got to cancel. A flight's delayed. Your date gets sick. Your cat gets sick. Or, hey, you find another restaurant you'd rather dine at next weekend. As a rule, restaurants will be less concerned with your cancellation, the easier it is for them to replace you. Need to cancel a two-top at a downtown hotspot, four days ahead of time? They probably won't bat an eyelash. Want to cancel a party of eight at a small restaurant that's not in a well-trafficked area, day of? You're causing a few more headaches. I was at a restaurant a few weeks ago that had a party of thirty cancel their reservation with an hour's notice. They had extra staff on hand to deal with a party of that size, and for nothing. (Granted, someone probably should have taken a credit card deposit. But still. Bad form.)
And one last thing: Please do cancel, if you're not going to show. Even a zero-notice cancellation is better than none at all; that's at least 15 minutes, and maybe a lot more, of customer-in-seat time you're saving that restaurant.

LSU vs. Georgia: Numbers that matter
Who made that schedule again?
No. 9 Georgia (2-1) faces its third top-10 opponent this season when it welcomes No. 6 LSU (4-0) on Saturday. The Bulldogs' schedule clears up afterward -- No. 20 Florida is the only ranked team remaining.
The Tigers, meanwhile, face the typical SEC West gantlet, so they can't afford a misstep in a rare trip Between the Hedges. Follow the game live on Sporting News' scoreboard.
Let's go inside the numbers to see who has the advantage:
Week 5 picks: 10-person SN panel divided between Tigers and Bulldogs
One might think these two SEC classic teams have played more given they first met in 1928. LSU holds a 16-12-1 advantage, however, and this marks the 10th meeting in which both teams are ranked. LSU owns a 5-4 advantage in those games.
HAYES: Behind the SEC curtain with Mike Slive
Marquee matchups
The BCS era has brought out the best in LSU and Georgia. This is the eighth consecutive matchup where both teams are ranked in the Top 25. The schools also have met in the SEC Championship Game three times:
2003: No. 3 LSU 34, No. 5 Georgia 13
2005: No. 13 Georgia 34, No. 3 LSU 14
2011: No. 1 LSU 42, No. 12 Georgia 10
Signature win: No. 13 Georgia 34, No. 3 LSU 14 (2005)
Georgia (9-2) stunned LSU (10-1) in the SEC Championship Game. D.J. Shockley threw for two TDs and added another score on the ground. The Bulldogs had six sacks, and Tim Jennings added a 15-yard interception return in the fourth quarter.
Signature win: No. 11 LSU 17, No. 7 Georgia 10 (2003)
LSU and Nick Saban arrive on the national stage. The Tigers break a 10-10 tie with 1:22 remaining on a 34-yard touchdown pass from Matt Mauck to a wide-open Skyler Green. LSU also won the rematch with Georgia in the SEC Championship and used that momentum to win the BCS national championship.
Mark Richt vs. LSU
Mark Richt is 3-4 against the Tigers, but this marks just the third time LSU has visited Georgia during his time in Athens. Richt is 1-1 in those meetings.
Les Miles vs. Georgia
Miles is 2-2 against Georgia and has only one previous visit. In 2009, the "Mad Hatter" escaped with a 20-13 win with the help of a 33-yard TD run by Charles Scott with 0:46 remaining in the game.
MORE: First-and-10 | Exit Poll | Week 5 photos
Key matchup: Aaron Murray vs. LSU secondary
Aaron Murray is just 3-7 against ranked SEC teams during his four-year career, and this is his second career start against LSU. Murray, however, has a 19:9 TD:INT ratio in those games, and LSU has just three interceptions this season.
Key matchup: LSU RBs vs. Georgia linebackers
LSU running backs Jeremy Hill and Terrence Magee have combined for 570 yards and nine TDs. The Tigers' power-run game can be overwhelming, and the Bulldogs allow 4.0 yards per carry. Georgia inside linebackers Ramik Wilson and Amarlo Herrera have to make a difference.
SDS: SEC West's biggest subplots entering Saturday
On the spot: Zach Mettenberger, QB, LSU
There's no question new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and Mettenberger work well together. Mettenberger's 11:1 TD:INT ratio is proof of that growth. Mettenberger, however, is just 22-of-54 passing with one TD and one interception in two career road games against ranked SEC teams.
On the spot: Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia
The Bulldogs haven't beaten LSU since 2008, and Knowshon Moreno had 163 rushing yards and a TD in that game. If Georgia wants to beat LSU, then Gurley, who averages 6.0 yards per carry, needs to have a similar dominating performance.
Stat that matters: Turnovers
It's a pretty simple formula for Georgia. Under Richt, the Bulldogs committed no turnovers in the three wins against LSU. In the four losses, however, Georgia has 10 turnovers, including three games with three turnovers. Ball security is the No. 1 concern.
Stat that matters: Rushing yards on first down
LSU allows just 3.3 rushing yards on first down. Georgia, meanwhile, averages 5.7 yards rushing on first down. Can the Tigers keep the Bulldogs off schedule by shutting down Gurley and Keith Marshall?
Bottom line
With this much on the line this early in the season, it's bound to get wild. LSU averages 43.3 points per game. Georgia isn't far behind at 40.3 points per game. A shootout favors the Bulldogs, so look for the Tigers to control the clock on the road. A trick play at the right time -- Richt and Miles are more than willing to dial one up -- might make the difference.

Subscribe To Quentin Tarantino's Next Western Reportedly Has A Numerical Title Updates
I've already subscribed
Quentin Tarantino is a filmmaker who is known for making particular kinds of films, with adrenaline and testosterone always on full display, even when females are inciting the massive amounts of action. Another trait his movies share is a title with two words in it, assuming you count Kill Bill as one entire feature. If sources of sources of sources are indeed correct, Tarantino may buck this trend with his next film, the western that is now reportedly going under the name The Hateful Eight. Sure, all he would need to do is drop the article to make it a two-word title, but its current iteration would lend itself to some potentially awesome rhyme-time taglines.
"The Hateful Eight Will Set Shit Straight," and possibly as early as this summer, which THR's sources say is when the director wants to begin production, though that's in the same unconfirmed state as the title. (Thankfully, THR sources are more reputable than many of the characters in Tarantino's films.)
It was only a couple of months ago when he revealed his follow up to Django Unchained would be another western, though no particular plotline was mentioned. The name The Hateful Eight implies a narrative familiar to his films: a group of morally unkempt people get together to enact revenge on someone or something.
There are immediate comparisons to be made about one of the most classic westerns ever made, which also happened to be numerically titled: John Sturges' The Magnificent Seven, which was itself adapted from Akira Kurosawa's near-perfect Seven Samurai. And those are exactly the movies that one would expect Tarantino to use as inspiration. Having taken on a different approach to the western with Django, it wouldn't be surprising at all to see him to focus a film on a band of outlaws, or rugged lawmen, or whatever the "Eight" in question end up being. However it happens, I really hope he gets Val Kilmer involved to reprise his Doc Holliday role from Tombstone, having somehow survived everything while also gaining weight.
While no casting rumors have surfaced, one of the roles in the film was written for the amazing Christoph Waltz., who made a huge name for himself in Inglourious Basterds, Tarantino is reportedly reteaming with Django's casting director Victoria Thomas for this film. I don't think anyone would be surprised if Samuel L. Jackson made his way into this film at some point.
Below you can watch the polarizing director make his announcement to Jay Leno on The Tonight Show. Let us know in the comments what you guys think about the film, or "Rate The Hateful Eight" as it were.

Personally I cuss all the time, really can't help it. Just want peoples thoughts on it, does it make you sound stupid? Some times is it actually a good enhancing word to your statement or question? It is considered a sin to many religious people, but here, where we are clear headed thinkers, does it seem like a morally wrong thing to do?
P.S. it's my first post, stupid thing to ask? If so please say so, over time I'll judge whether or not i should shut up or not on this site.

So this guy points his finger in my face and says "Don't take it so fucking personally, dickhead!".
...and you replied, "Richard Cranium, please!"?
That's a good question. Definitely worth asking. I find swearing (cussing) particularly effective with certain types of people. You can usually tell which people will freak out if you swear gratuitously, and which people will just take the swearing as emphasis points.
The downside to using swear words often with one group of people is that you tend to continue using them when with the other group of people.
Watch some George Carlin vids. The man was brilliant and cussed like a sailor.
Personally, I can't understand why anyone finds it objectionable. I just can't wrap my head around it. It's the most ridiculous of taboos in our culture.

Google already did research to find the funniest YouTube video of all time, but what about the saddest? What videos make you break down like James Van Der Beek on Dawson's Creek?
Thanks to Project Goodcry, now you can mark YouTube videos as sad with the "I cried" button, available as a plug-in for Google Chrome. Getting choked up when they finally put Rudy in at the end of the game? The plug-in lets you see that 129 people found the clip as much of a tear-jerker as you did. Press the button and you can even rank its level of sadness from one to five tears.
The statistics are then saved and compiled in a database created by project founders Dee Kim and Bistin Chen. Check out the Project Goodcry website and you'll find a ranking of the Internet's saddest videos.
Right now a clip from Disney's The Fox and the Hound has the top spot, although my vote is for the number eight video — the montage from Pixar's Up that teaches children that even if you find the love of your life, he or she will inevitably be taken by the cruel hand of death, leaving you old and alone, regretting all of the trips you never took and finding a sliver of solace in neighborhood children who fear you.
If it's all so depressing, why do we need an "I cried" button in the first place?
Here's what the button's creators say:
The intention is to find out what type of content makes people cry, to suggest a simple way to communicate the state of crying in digital space, and to help people reflect and ask themselves "What makes me cry?" "What does it feel to know what other people cried about?."
It's like a group therapy session, via YouTube! Also, this project has confirmed that the saddest things in the world are Disney movies from childhood.

Turkey moves to mark its place in skies with ambitious plans
Turkey is aiming to make a major mark in the skies with ambitious plans to build the world's largest airport and a vast expansion of the national airline as it seeks increasingly to build on its strong emerging status to become a global player.
Boasting an airport twice the size of Heathrow and a fleet of modern aircraft, Turkey could pose a threat to struggling European airlines as well as fast growing Gulf carriers.
Key to the plans is the construction of a six-runway airport in Istanbul eventually capable of handling 150 million passengers per year.
The Turkish government has launched a tender to build the 7-billion-euro ($9.4 bn) airport that from 2016 would position the country to become a major hub for traffic between Asia, Europe and increasingly Africa.
"The construction of the giant airport is a clear sign telling the airlines to grow and keep up," Emre Akcakmak, a senior analyst from Sweden-based East Capital, said.
Flag-carrier Turkish Airlines (THY) is expected to make use of the opportunity by nearly doubling its fleet and expanding the destinations it serves by 50 percent.
The airline, twice selected as the best European airline, posted a 20-percent rise in passengers last year to 39 million.
It aims to reach 46 million passengers in 2013, generating a turnover of $9.7 billion (7.2 bn euros).
However it badly needs the new airport as Istanbul's two current airports are nearly stretched to capacity.
THY is widely expected to add to its fleet of 204 Airbus and Boeing planes by placing an order for about 150 new fuel-efficient aircraft, securing a place among the world's top 10 airlines.
That would allow the airline to expand the number of destinations it serves to 300 by 2020, banking on its location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, as well as good access to Africa.
"We are making superb use of an excellent geography. We can fly most places in profitable, narrow-body single-aisle planes," company CEO Temel Kotil said.
That shows in its operating margin. A key factor of profitability for airlines is the amount of seat capacity offered, and the percentage of those seats occupied.
In the first nine months of 2012 THY boasted an operating margin of 10.4 percent, which left the European majors in the fumes.
Lufthansa posted an operating margin of 2.8 percent for the period, followed by British Airways-Iberia owner IAG at 1.5 percent.
Air France-KLM was in the red for the period.
"THY can fly up to 40 countries in three to four hours, it will always have the unique advantage in the West," said Guntay Simsek, an aviation columnist for Haberturk daily.
"But it is in the Eastern market that THY will really find itself tested with competition, particularly against Emirates and Etihad," he added.
That is because THY is not the only airline looking to bank on good geography.
Emirates Airlines has been one of the world's fastest growing, catapulting itself into the third-largest by capacity, using Dubai as a hub for Asia-Europe traffic.
It recently concluded a global alliance with Australia's Qantas to strengthen that role.
The airline, which does not report quarterly results, carried 34 million passengers in its 2011-2012 operating year and posted an operating margin of 3.9 percent.
Another Gulf contender to the trans-continental travel market is Qatar Airways, which is pondering buying a stake in troubled Czech Airlines.
Then there is Abu Dhabi's Etihad, which is eyeing stakes in India's Jet Airways and the ailing Kingfisher.
"Europe might have been the driving force of the world's aviation but that position is now long gone," aviation expert Kurt Hofmann said.
He said European airlines found the quick rise of airlines like THY and Emirates hard to believe, but that their rise should come as no surprise as the region is filled with governments who know "the importance of a strong carrier."
Turkey's government is targeting rapid economic growth -- it wants the country to become one of the world's top 10 economies in a decade -- and aviation is a priority sector.
In addition to the airport project, the government in recent years has slashed taxes on air tickets and fuel, while EU airlines have been hit with additional charges.
THY, which is still 49-percent owned by the state, does not have bans on night flights at its hubs either.
It is the state support that concerns European rivals, according to a European diplomat who wished to remain anonymous.
"As THY is considered a strategic company, the government is helping it in a way that would be impossible if Turkey were a member of the European Union," he said. "That's not fair competition".
But THY's expansion would not be without risks, however, as it would need to fill the seats on all those new planes or its profitability would be eroded.
"It is both a big potential and a danger when the goals are set so high," Hofmann said. "But THY can do it."

Imagine watching a loved one slowly wither and having no idea what's wrong, or how to save them. Michale Cerswell was a beautiful teenager with a wicked sense of humour. Along with her sisters Leysa, Naomi, and Andrea, she grew up on her father Jim's dairy farm located in Simcoe County, north of Toronto, Ontario. Their mother, Kelly Hall-Holland, was a chartered accountant.
At 14, in 1996, the family began to notice that after meals Michale would frequently slip away to the bathroom. They could hear her throwing up.
Michale had fallen victim to one of Canada's most common mental illnesses -- an eating disorder. One in five Canadian high school girls and one boy for every 10 girls will develop an eating disorder. One in 10 of those who develop anorexia die. Yet without a source of information or support for eating disorders in Simcoe County, the Cerswell family was lost.
"It seemed so foreign, it was so easy to be in denial," Leysa recalls.
Because Michale was able to hide many of the symptoms of her eating disorder, the family accepted Michale's reassurances. And for almost nine years, she struggled in near silence with her body issues, never seeking treatment.
Years of near-starvation exacted a toll on Michale's body. In 2005, she developed chronic pancreatitis -- one of many complications that can arise from eating disorders, along with kidney damage and heart problems. For the Cerswells, practically every moment of their lives from then on would revolve around supporting Michale in her fight to heal.
Jim put his career on hold to become his daughter's full-time caregiver. When she wasn't in the hospital, Michale lived with him on the family farm.
The greatest challenge was finding treatment.
"I can count the number of available child psychiatrists who are trained to treat eating disorders on two hands," laments Dr. Leora Pinhas, a past President of the Eating Disorders Association of Canada and a Senior Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto.
Pinhas says there are only about 20 hospital treatment programs across Canada -- none in Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and P.E.I. There are approximately 20 hospital beds in all of Ontario.
As a further complication, Michale had become addicted to oxycontin, a powerful painkiller she was prescribed to manage the agony of the pancreatitis. Pinhas notes it's not uncommon for problems like drug addiction to walk arm-in-arm with eating disorders. Michale faced a catch-22 -- eating disorder programs wouldn't take patients with an addiction and addiction treatment programs were unequipped to handle eating disorders.
Unable to get treatment for her concurrent disorders in Canada, in 2008 Michale was admitted to an eating disorder program in the United States, paid for by the Canadian health care system. It is not known how much Canada spends to send patients to the U.S., however treatment there can cost more than $1,000 a day.
On July 26, 2009, Leysa spoke with her sister on the phone. Michale was hopeful -- the doctors were talking about releasing her soon. It was the last time Leysa would ever hear Michale's voice. Two days later, battered by 13 years of fighting, Michale's heart failed.
With Michale's death, the Cerswells have taken on the challenge of raising awareness and providing support for those suffering with eating disorders -- an often overlooked cause.
"We're trying to create the support we wish we had when Michale was alive," says Leysa.
The family launched the Michale Cerswell Foundation, fundraising to support families affected by an eating disorder. In the next few months the Foundation will help open the Riverstone Eating Disorders Recovery Centre in Shanty Bay, Ontario. Located in a peaceful rural setting, Riverstone Recovery Centre will offer an intensive day program to help families heal together.
Both parents are committed to supporting the cause. Hall-Holland has devoted her time and energy to developing Riverstone. Jim Cerswell helps raise awareness and financial support for Sheena's Place as well -- a support centre in Toronto for families affected by eating disorders. To raise funds and awareness, Jim and the sisters have produced a video about Michale's life.
Naomi is a passionate volunteer, raising money and awareness. Andrea, now a professional opera singer, performs at fundraisers. Leysa has set a career path to help others like Michale, earning a master's degree in psychology, studying mental health and substance abuse.
It is unconscionable that a young woman should starve to death in Canada today. We spoke with many experts and they are unequivocal: eating disorders are not a disease of choice or vanity, they are a serious mental illness. They are also entirely treatable if we invest the resources.
The Cerswells are an inspiration. This family has shown us how to come together to change a malfunctioning system in the memory of a beloved daughter and sister.
Craig and Marc Kielburger are founders of international charity and educational partner, Free The Children. Its youth empowerment event, We Day, is in eight cities across Canada this year, inspiring more than 100,000 attendees. For more information, visit www.weday.com

10 facts on essential medicines
February 2010
The essential medicines list is an inventory of medicines that treat pressing global health concerns. Medicines are identified through an evidence-based process and quality, safety, efficacy and cost-effectiveness are key selection criteria. A model list - first assembled by a World Health Organization (WHO) expert panel in 1977 and revised every two years to reflect current health challenges - gives Member Countries an example to adapt to national needs.
In 1977 the first list identified 208 essential medicines to battle the global disease burden at the time. Today's list of 340 medicines treats such priority conditions as malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, reproductive health and, increasingly, chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes.

In today's economic environment, consumer demand for fuel-efficient vehicles has never been higher. Vehicle aerodynamic design has a critical impact on fuel efficiency, through reducing wind resistance of the vehicle's exterior shape and reducing losses associated with requirements for cooling flow through the engine compartment. Aerodynamic design starts with the earliest concepts of the vehicle based on its shape and proportion to meet styling intent, passenger space, and component packaging needs. As the exterior shape is refined, the aerodynamic efficiency is driven by shape parameters such as angles, radii, and dimensions. Typically, you can make improvements in these parameters with minimal impact on the styling aesthetics. As the vehicle design progresses further, aerodynamic panels and devices such as spoilers, wheel deflectors, and underbody covers are sized and positioned mainly for aerodynamic benefit, in trade-off with the cost of parts and other constraints. Throughout these design stages, adequate cooling flow to the heat exchangers must be maintained while minimizing the associated wind resistance.
The challenge faced by vehicle manufacturers in each design stage is the urgent need for information about how to improve the design. Aerodynamic information can be costly and difficult to obtain, traditionally involving building a detailed model or prototype of the vehicle and testing the model in a wind tunnel. Design iterations at this late stage of product development are time-consuming and costly because it is difficult to make large-scale changes to a model, or to change any surface features of a fully detailed prototype during a wind tunnel test. Prototype testing for aerodynamics is a major contributor to vehicle development costs and design cycle time.
Aerodynamics simulation changes the vehicle development process, reducing both vehicle development costs and design cycle time. Because of its inherent advantages over physical testing methods, simulation can bring much more feedback about the design performance into each stage of development, improving the ability for designers and engineers to innovate in balancing design aesthetics with aerodynamics. Simulation is more accurate than physical testing because of its ability to capture small details that might not be present on a physical reduced-scale model during the early design stage, and its ability to duplicate actual road conditions without interference from the wind tunnel walls and floor. Physical testing can lead to costly mistakes and delays due to accuracy problems. Finally, simulation can reduce the cost of the final vehicle by revealing design improvements earlier in the design phase that do not require additional parts and expense to the vehicle. Simulation provides cost savings and improvement in the final design.
The need for accuracy and timely delivery of design feedback places a high demand on aerodynamic simulation quality. The simulation must account for many real-world effects, handling realistic high-fidelity geometry of the vehicle; reproducing realistic test conditions such as road effects, rotating wheels, and oncoming flow conditions such as turbulence and wind gusts; and realistic simulation of transient turbulent aerodynamics. PowerFLOW is uniquely designed to bring realism into aerodynamic simulation. It is heavily validated across the entire ground transportation industry to bring the high accuracy and confidence required for design decisions.
Aerodynamics is at the core of simulations with SIMULIA PowerFLOW. PowerFLOW's unique, inherently transient Lattice Boltzmann-based physics enables it to perform simulations that accurately predict real-world transient conditions on the most complex geometry. Each simulation brings time-accurate evolution of the airflow around the vehicle and through the engine bay and underbody. Wheel rotation for on-road configurations can be accomplished using true rotating geometry. Cooling fans can also rotate to represent the correct cooling flow conditions. Heat exchangers provide the correct resistance to the flow and contribute to the flow losses affecting aerodynamic efficiency. Analysis of the results shows the overall aerodynamic drag, distribution of the drag from the nose to the tail of the vehicle, and surface drag contributions over each panel. You can use flow visualizations such as surface and flow streamlines to indicate cause and effect relationships between design changes and the aerodynamic drag.
PowerFLOW uniquely enables rapid multi-disciplinary trade-offs between aerodynamics, thermal management, and aeroacoustics. This is possible because PowerFLOW uses a single physics model for all types of analysis with a common, fully detailed geometry definition. PowerFLOW results have been validated against experiment as highly accurate for aerodynamics and many other applications.

Bask in the warmth and enchantment of Italy without leaving Seattle during Taproot Theatre Company's production of Enchanted April. Elizabeth von Arnim's resplendent 1920s novel comes to life on stage in this Tony Award-nominated play by Matthew Barber. The enticement of an enchanting Italian holiday captivates the hearts of two British housewives on a drizzly London afternoon in 1922, and fills their imaginations with wisteria and sunshine. By the time they arrive at their Mediterranean villa, an aging matron and a young socialite have joined their quest for something more. The gardens, sea, cinnamon and pasta are just the beginning of the transformation they discover. Enchanted April, directed by associate artistic director Karen Lund, runs through October 24 .
Adapted first for the stage in 1925 and for film in 1935, von Arnim's novel was also the basis for the popular 1992 film, the DVD of which was just released this year. This stage play based on von Arnim's novel was originally produced in February 2000 by the Hartford Stage Company in Connecticut, and produced on Broadway in April 2003 at the Belasco Theatre, with Molly Ringwald as Rose Arnott.
Ultimately a story of escaping to a place of beauty and being transformed, the play begins in Great Britain just a few years after World War I, in a time of darkness and devastation, when people are still dealing with the great losses from the war.
"There's this need to get away," said Lund. "For all four of the women, there's an amazing transformation that happens once they get to Italy where there's sun, flowers and fresh air, and a new way of looking at life. It's almost magical how the sunshine and fresh air brings them back to life emotionally, spiritually and sexually."
"We're in some really difficult times right now," said Lund, "and it's easy to be discouraged and disheartened. And so to come back to what gives us hope and the drive to keep moving forward is very inspiring. It's a reminder that things can be restored—that marriages, happiness and balance can be restored."
Taproot Theatre's production features Jeff Berryman, Ryan Childers, Aaron Finley, Llysa Holland, Anne Kennedy, Kim Morris, Charity Parenzini and Nikki Visel. The production team includes scenic and sound designer Mark Lund, costume designer Sarah Burch Gordon and lighting designer Monty Taylor. Anne Hitt serves as stage manager, Gin Hammond as dialect coach and Katrina Moore as dramaturg.
After Enchanted April, Taproot Theatre presents the world premiere of Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Christmas Carol by Seattle playwright John Longenbaugh. (November 20-December 30).
"Perhaps that's why we need something beautiful now. To remind us of the possibility."

Homeschooling Help
Check out our Getting Started Brochure for a quick primer on frequently asked questions about homeschooling and what HSC has to offer.
Get answers.
In the golden glow of a rural September morning, a gaggle of fresh faced children bustles onto a big yellow bus. The door closes and the bus rumbles off down the road, past redwoods and apple orchards, toward school in Occidental.
But down the lane, eleven year old Ethan is still home. He peers intently into the bowels of a computer, readying a screwdriver as his dad strains to push stiff metal parts together. His dad has been away at work for three days, and they have both been looking forward to this day of catching up on projects together.
On a hillside twenty miles away, in Kenwood, twelve year old Ramon lets his goats out of their pens and joins his mom inside at the kitchen table, to play with logarithms in their favorite math book.
And over in Santa Rosa, nine year old Allegra and Ashley break away from their reading to help their mom pack up lunch for today's field trip. They will be joining seven other families for a tour of the Petrified Forest in Calistoga before they rush off to ballet class.
These are some of what could be as many as two million children in this country who do not go to school.
Parents choose to educate their children outside of the traditional setting for a variety of reasons: academic goals, religious beliefs, social philosophy, personal needs and any number of issues. Patrick Farenga, publisher of the popular national homeschooling journal, Growing Without Schooling (GWS), has seen dramatic change and expansion over the past twenty years, "We have seen the homeschooling movement grow from its alternative schooling and back-to-the-land roots in the late seventies, to its popularity with religious fundamentalists in the eighties, to its current gradual acceptance by 'mainstream' families. Homeschooling is clearly not only growing, but flourishing."
How do parents know what to teach and how to go about teaching it? There are almost as many answers to this question as there are homeschoolers. The HomeSchool Association of California (HSC) points out that the home setting allows for direct personalized attention. "The teacher," they remind us, "possesses deep knowledge of each child and can individually tailor teaching methods to the child�s learning style. Studies have found no significant difference in the achievement of homeschooled children when grouped according to whether the parent was, or had ever been, a state-certified teacher. Children of homeschool parents with only a 12th grade education have scored above the national norm on the Stanford Achievement Test."
In fact, many homeschool parents think of their role as more facilitator than teacher. Some of the most popular books in homeschooling libraries, such as those by the late educator and homeschool advocate John Holt, encourage a relationship and atmosphere where parents support children in finding and pursuing their own interests. Traditional skills and knowledge are best garnered in a natural way that embraces a love of learning. The love of learning is held as an ultimate goal which can open any door.
Albert Einstein, who homeschooled for a time and was known to have had his difficulties in school, is often quoted: "It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry ...which stands mainly in need of freedom... It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty."
Resources are plentiful, and there is plenty of enthusiastic sharing and comparing among homeschoolers. Besides books and periodicals, newsletters, local social support groups and big state conferences put on by state organizations like HSC, there are even electronic networks found in services such as America Online, where homeschool parents (and kids) chat and post notes about everything from algebra programs to Greek curricula and college admissions.
"The world is our classroom" is a favorite theme of homeschoolers, who are often on the go. There are outings with Scouts, classes with 4H, visits to historical sights and museums , farms and factories, choirs, plays and the world at large. Kids' classes are offered at Lawrence Hall of Science, at Sonoma State's Excel program and at an increasing number of "after school" programs around the county. Days can be easily filled with social gatherings, drama groups, and with science or Spanish clubs at one another's homes. If homeschoolers have a common complaint, it is the driving involved in taking advantage of the many tempting opportunities for enrichment.
While providing a wholesome educational setting is important, being the primary influence in their children's lives is often of paramount importance to homeschooling parents. As tempting as all the outside enrichment opportunities are, most homeschooling families find that the times they value the most are the quiet times together around home. There is time to meander in the outdoors, to take in the sights and smells of autumn, or to snuggle together under a quilt on a frosty winter morning to watch a favorite film, or to stay up deliciously late on a spring night to finish a few more chapters from a beloved book. Homeschool children also have lots of time to be alone, and to daydream.
Gretchen McPherson, a Sonoma County homeschool mom, appreciates the gift of time that allows her children to pursue many varied interests in the community, " we have time to focus, to learn to truly concentrate on something. Time to read classics by the hour or Winston Churchill's memoirs, time to bake bread together and keep nature journals; time to do chores! But the most precious times to me are the unplanned 'gab sessions' with my three teenagers, when we sit up late enjoying each other's conversation and sifting through all the world's and our own problems. All this time with my children has knit our hearts together. That is a crucial benefit of home education."
Mark and Helen Hegener, publishers of Home Education Magazine, a favorite resource for many homeschoolers, are moved by this account. They also have homeschooled their children through the teen years. "When I was a teen," Mark remembers, "there was a big deal made about a 'generation gap.' We were all going through the same type of emotional flux. There were new kinds of relationships, responsibilities, questions and quandaries...but the peer group one had to draw from had no experience in dealing with these new situations. A teenager could feel very lost and lonely. All too often, when an adult tried to share his or her wisdom and experience, friction was the result, because the teenager was more used to relating with other teens. Thus the 'generation gap' was almost inevitable."
Hegener contrasts this with his present experience, "As homeschool parents, we don't see this big space between parents and their kids, at any age. When the time has been taken to communicate openly, it can be just as natural and comfortable for your teen to come to you with questions when they start dating as it was when they needed help with a model airplane. Families become close through living together, and build a foundation that will last down through generations."
An unfortunate popular misconception is that homeschoolers are rather homogeneous, sharing common religious affiliations. To the contrary, there is a broad range of beliefs, lifestyles, and ethnic backgrounds within the homeschooling community. Somewhere within that range there is a niche for everyone. There are as many ways of homeschooling as there are homeschoolers--with no "right" way. At one end of the spectrum families use packaged curricula or follow a fairly structured plan, while those at the other end support their children's interests in a spontaneous way. Most fall within the many variations in-between.
Every family is homeschooling--including those who send their children to school--but some do it for more hours of the day. Reading about other families' homeschooling experiences in good books and magazines is very helpful in understanding the struggles, joys, and potentials in taking on the responsibility of your own children's education.
Allowing children to pursue their interests as a basis for education is a philosophy widely encountered in homeschooling circles. After awhile many parents recognize the wide, interrelated expanse of research and problem solving skills, as well as valuable knowledge, that can naturally grow from this approach. While the state of California does have general "course of study" requirements listed in the Education Code, there is enormous freedom of choice for pursuing your own priorities and interests, even when following a more traditional structure.
Parents thinking about starting to homeschool for the first time with older kids often worry about being inadequate as teachers, but there are some very helpful resources for empowering the teens to educate themselves. To name just a few, Grace Llewelyn, a former teacher, publishes a catalog of intriguing learning resources called The Genius Tribe, for older children, teens, and adults, as well as two books on teens: The Teenage Liberation Handbook, and Real Lives: Eleven teenagers who don't go to school.
Jeremiah Gingold, one of the teens featured in Real Lives, remarks "Homeschooling has opened up a virtually unlimited array of possibilities in my life. I've never felt as if there was anything I couldn't learn, couldn't do. I've often run up against practical limitations from living in a rural location, but I've never felt limited by my self, by my age or my abilities. Perhaps this is because I've always been free to explore and interact with the world on my own terms." This seems like a the kind of outcome that would please any parent, and homeschooling is one good way of pursuing that goal.
There are as many reasons for homeschooling as there are families who make this choice. Homeschooling offers freedom along with responsibility -- freedom to make our own decisions regarding how we wish our children to live and learn.Consider more reasons to homeschool.
Welcome to one of the most exciting, challenging, frustrating and fullfilling journey's of your life. Find out how to get started.
After all enjoy their fill of oatmeal and fruit, and the last child laces up his boots and adjusts his hat against the winds, a mom and her three school-aged children wave at the school bus lumbering by and head off for a walk in the woods, instead.

It's natural, because it's a cultural habit, to think that kids who are high school age will study algebra, English, history, science, foreign language, art, music, and other subjects, and to expect that these studies will lead to a high school diploma and the next step in life. It's natural to think this way, but it isn't necessary. HSC offers extensive information about homeschooling teens.
Educating any child is a big responsibility, especially if you're doing it at home with no public support. Educating a child who is exceptionally bright can seem intimidating, especially if his or her skills seem greater than your own. For parents thinking of homeschooling a gifted child, many questions arise. What if your child wants to know things that you don't know? What if you can't find the right resources? Where will you look for mentors, peers, even classes that will accept your child at a level that is appropriate for them? How will you know when you are doing something "wrong," or when your child is having difficulty? What can you expect from your child, your community, yourself?
This section will help you find answers to some of your questions, and point you to more extensive resources for further information.
HSC has prepared A Professional's Guide to Working with Homeschooling Families for doctors, attorneys, legislators, judges, psychologists, social workers, librarians, researchers, journalists, or other professionals who may come in contact with homeschooling families.Read the Professional's Guide.
This documentary answers some of the most common questions about homeschooling.

Had a really nice weekend.
Saturday, had lunch with my friend, Hollie, at PF Chang's. Love lunches with her, time flies and we both just get to vent about anything and everything. So nice. After that, i ran some errands, stopping at Sam's Club and the Farmer's Market for fruit for the week. Went home after that and chilled with Kurt for the rest of the day (and night).
Sunday, headed out to Rebecca's for the day. We dropped by her parents' house to drop some food off that Rebecca had for her Dad (he said it was the best salad he ever ate) and then headed to the zoo and lunch. Lunch was at this Vietnamese place that she had a gift card for and it was yummy! Some of the best miso I have ever had and the crab rangoon was amazing. The zoo, however, kinda depresses me, and I don't know why. I love seeing animals, but I would really rather see them in the wild where they belong. I know the Detroit Zoo only has animals that cannot live in the wild because they were injured, etc., but taking a pic of an animal with a cage in the background is kinda sad. But, I had a fab time chatting with Rebeccca and aimlessly wandering. We do that well! :).
Kurt and kory went on Sunday to pick up two cocktail style arcade games for the basement that we found on Craigslist. One has 48 different games and the other just has Donkey Kong. Oh my God. So fun. I especially love Frogger and Burger Time, but am slowly playing all the games and loving it. They are kewl too because you sit at the games, instead of having to stand. And you can play everything two players. Kurt and I are SO like kids sometimes. LOL.
Bugsy had a vet appointment last night for hiss rabies shot. He was a very good kitty and they said he is in perfect health and the at a perfect weight. He weighted 8.75 pounds. So small for a cat for us. Toby, out last cat, weighed like 18 pounds at one point. Bought the pugs Heartgard pills since I had run out too. I swear, it's just like having kids sometimes! Or not! :).
Night all!

Web protests, White House and GOP rebellion put SOPA on life support
Controversial anti-piracy legislation, already on life support in the House, is now in serious doubt in the Senate, where the confluence of a Republican rump rebellion, White House concerns and a Wednesday blackout by Wikipedia, Mozilla and other big-name websites is enough to give some senators second thoughts.
Republican Sen. Scott Brown, locked in a re-election fight with Elizabeth Warren in Democratic-leaning Massachusetts, announced on Twitter on Tuesday that he'd vote against the Senate's PROTECT IP Act and the House's Stop Online Piracy Act. Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.), a PIPA co-sponsor, now opposes the bill as written, and sources involved in the fight say they expect more lawmakers to drop their support for the measures backed by Hollywood but opposed by Silicon Valley.
Story Continued Below
It all amounts to this: Congress woke the sleeping tech giant, and now lawmakers are desperate to pacify it.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) is scrambling to rewrite his bill to soften the blowback from the high-tech sector — and from senators worried about the political implications of jamming an industry that has the capacity to communicate across the planet in fractions of a second.
Representatives of both industries met with aides to Leahy, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) on Tuesday to discuss whether there's a way to bridge the differences between Hollywood and Silicon Valley.
The two major sticking points: a provision that would allow movie, music and television companies to sue Web companies when their sites support pirated material and one that would allow the government to block certain Web searches.
"They're trying to see how much of that they can keep in place and not run the risk of getting the Web, Netroots crowd anger channeled at them," one tech industry source said of the content providers.
The anti-piracy push may not be dead yet, but Congress is holding out a mirror to see if it's breathing. Industry reps from both sides are pessimistic that there will be a palatable compromise any time soon.
The real turning point, according to industry and congressional sources, came when tech-backing members of the House Judiciary Committee used parliamentary maneuvers to forestall a markup of SOPA late last year. That gave Web companies, who often can't agree on how to turn on a computer, time to coalesce.
"The best thing for its opponents was the delay," said the chief of staff to a House Judiciary Committee member who has been supportive of the bill.

Copylaundering: Jay Leno Airs Campaign Video From YouTube, NBC Claims Ownership Of Original
from the what-a-neat-little-trick dept
This is easily one of the best responses to copyfraud I've ever read. Sure, Jay Leno is a pretty easy target for a roast, but musician Brian Kamerer does a brilliant job of taking him to task over a bogus YouTube takedown. I strongly suggest reading the whole thing, but here's the short version of what happened.
A few years ago, Brian helped a friend, who was running for mayor, create an intentionally silly campaign jingle and commercial, which they uploaded to YouTube. Two years later, they heard from another friend that the video had appeared on the Jay Leno Show as part of a segment about local campaign commercials. They just got a kick out of it, and moved on—until now, another three years later. Brian discovered that the YouTube video had been taken down on a copyright claim... by NBC (most likely as the result of a ContentID match as NBC uploaded old episodes into the system). So Leno mines the internet for material to air on his show—without permission or even the courtesy of letting them know—and then, years later, the network claims ownership of that material and accuses the actual creators and copyright holders of infringement. Brian is unimpressed, to say the least—and even supplies a script for how he imagines things went down:
Hey remember those loser kids, we played their bit once, remember those guys? Let's get em.
What? Who? Why?
Those guys, we took their video about three years ago and played it, I loved that song, remember?
Oh yeah, sure, I remember those guys. So, what is it you want to do to them?
I want to have the boys at NBC say that we own the video, so that if they try to watch their video on YouTube, they won't be able to, and it will look like they stole the video, like Carlos Mencia!
Or we could just leave those two nice boys alone. After all, you loved that song, remember?
You're fired! Secretary! Get me someone who has the balls to frame these two unknown assholes, so that eventually their work will be blocked on YouTube! And I need fifty more classic cars!
He's kidding of course—he knows that's not how it really happened. The real problem is that the system is broken: the law favors the accuser and permits this kind of copyfraud, giving NBC absolutely no incentive to narrowly target its takedown efforts. But Brian, quite reasonably, points out that he's not interested in excuses—everything that happened revolves around the public face of Jay Leno, and he sees no reason that Leno shouldn't bear the blame.
I know you're reading this going, "Brian, you don't understand! It's not me, it's just some NBC internet robot that scans YouTube videos and then compares the videos to the vast NBC library and just blocks the YouTube videos that match up, because the robot assumes the video has been stolen. Besides, you don't own anything on YouTube! Don't be mad at me, funny man Jay Leno! I liked your video! It's the robot's fault. The robot fucked up."
Don't hide behind NBC on this one, dude. And don't blame YouTube. And forget about the robots. I'm not talking to the robot now. I'm talking to you, Jay Leno. Where does the buck stop on The Jay Leno Show, if not with Jay Leno himself? The buck stops with you Jay.
As more people fall victim to copyfraud—including this process whereby a TV network launders your copyrights into their own—and tell the story publicly (and entertainingly) as Brian has done, the aggressive entertainment companies are going to have a harder time recruiting stars as mouthpieces for the anti-piracy cause. Increasingly, they are going to see their own artists rebelling against their bogus takedowns and over-enforcement, as some already are. Combine that kind of pressure with transparency efforts like Google's newly available takedown data, and eventually something's got to give—starting with any remaining shred of public respect for copyright law.

GOP making bold play for US Senate seat in Oregon
Sun., April 20, 2014, 3:30 p.m.
LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. — The GOP is making a bold play for a U.S. Senate seat in reliably Democratic Oregon, where a Republican hasn't been elected to a statewide office in more than a decade.
Republicans back in Washington think they've found the right candidate in Monica Wehby, a children's brain surgeon who's raised more than $1 million and put her early opposition to President Barack Obama's health care law at the center of her campaign.
The race is shaping up to be a strong test of the GOP strategy of relentlessly using the health law against Democrats in hopes of regaining control of the Senate.
The rollout of the law in Oregon has been worse than in most other states, and Republicans are hoping a doctor has the credibility to capitalize on the resulting voter discontent.
"Doctors are trained differently," Wehby said in a recent candidate forum at a Republican women's club in Lake Oswego, a well-to-do Portland suburb. "We know how to look at things logically, not ideologically, and we also know how to work with other people."
Ballots go out April 30 in the state's all-mail primary and must be returned by May 20, when they will be counted and results announced.
Wehby faces four other Republicans, most notably state Rep. Jason Conger of Bend, a lawyer who's promoting his conservative credentials and his experience representing a district that, like the state as a whole, favors Democrats.
The Republican nominee will face long odds against the incumbent, Democrat Jeff Merkley, who's in his first term. Merkley used Obama's coattails to slip past GOP Sen. Gordon Smith in 2008.
Eight months before the November general election, Merkley rates as the favorite, based on the Democrats' 8-point edge in voter registration and the GOP's longstanding weakness in statewide elections. He also has $3.6 million in the bank for his campaign.
If Republicans can put the seat into play, it would boost their efforts to reclaim the Senate. They need a net gain of six seats to hold a majority.
"I want someone that I feel has enough support to have a realistic opportunity of winning," said Marge Mares, 70, a Republican from Portland. "It would be wonderful if the Republicans can take back the Senate."
Mares, who owns a steel business with her husband, said the health law is her "number one concern."
No Republican has won a statewide race in Oregon since Smith was re-elected in 2002. In 36 statewide partisan elections over the past two decades, said Portland pollster Tim Hibbitts, Republicans have won just three, and none of the last 19.
But Merkley does have some obstacles to overcome.
It's a midterm election, which often means lower Democratic turnout.
Also, Wehby, in particular, could attract a lot of money from deep-pocketed donors. Empowered by U.S. Supreme Court decisions, out-of-state donors have been putting money into campaigns in Oregon, a small state where contributors believe their money will have more impact.
Merkley's prospects are linked to voter attitudes toward Obama, Hibbitts said. "What Obama's approval is in Oregon on Election Day is more important to me right now, frankly, than anything Merkley has or hasn't done."
Wehby, 51, has kept her eye on the general election, taking moderate positions on social issues that are in line with a majority of Oregon voters and betting that her advantage in campaign cash can get her through the primary. She supports same-sex marriage and says the federal government shouldn't be involved in abortion, although she says she's personally opposed.
Wehby insists she's concerned about more than just "Obamacare." She says the health law is an example of an overreaching federal government "that is encroaching on every aspect of our lives." But the issue is at the heart of her pitch to voters.
"It's not brain surgery," she says, dressed in surgical scrubs for a television ad that aired last week. "Obamacare is bad for Oregon." The ad never mentions she's a Republican.
Wehby appeared in television ads opposing the law in 2009. She later was part of a faction of the American Medical Association that rebelled against the group's support for some aspects of the law.
She calls for repealing the Affordable Care Act and enacting something else, a common theme among Republican office-seekers. She said she doesn't think "we can go back to the way things were before."
Conger, 45, is running to Wehby's right. He says her stands on social issues are out of step with the Republican Party, and pitches his own experience winning elections in a Democratic district.
"I've won by really significant margins," Conger said in an interview. "And the only way that could happen is, I've demonstrated the ability to reach out to voters who are not already convinced, not already Republican, and persuade them that I will do a better job. I think that's important for the Republican nominee."
Conger's life story is a rich political narrative. From a hardscrabble childhood in California — "I still remember what it's like to live in a trailer park," he says — he managed to put himself through Harvard Law School.
"I believe that I have the ability to relate to people who are not rich, to express conservative solutions, a conservative approach to solving problems in a way that… has relevance for their situation," Conger said.

Dec. 14, 2006
Nicholls State arrives on campus Thursday night with a 1-10 record, but Lipscomb Bisons basketball fans shouldn't feel all that comfortable.
Nine of those 11 games have been on the road with stops at Washington, Pepperdine, Louisiana State, Texas, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Auburn and Centenary along with a neutral site game with North Iowa. Nicholls State lost to Auburn in overtime 92-87. They are coming off a 76-63 win over Xavier at home Monday night in Thibodaux, La.
"As a coach this game scares you to death," said Lipscomb assistant coach Hubie Smith. "Their schedule is rated as one of the top 30 in the country. They have played an unbelievable schedule. They are the best 1-10 team I have ever seen. They are better than a lot of the teams we have played so far this year."
Nicholls State presents an unusual defensive challenge for the Bisons. They are primarily a perimeter shooting team with several good shooters in the mix.
"They are an under-sized team," Smith said. "They do not have a center. They play all guards and forwards. They are all very good players. When they come down the floor all five of their guys will be behind the 3-point line. The best thing they do is execute in their half-court offense. They do a lot of back-screening and down-screening as they eventually work guys inside.
"They are averaging 70 points a game. They are scoring 40 percent of their points from behind the 3-pount line. Four of their top seven players shoot about 40 percent from the 3-point line. They are similar to Belmont in that regard."
Nicholls State is giving up 87 points a game, but they are forcing an average of 17 turnovers a game. "We cannot let them run their offense," Smith said. "We have to score early and often in transition. We have to make them defend.
"But sometimes we defend ourselves because we come down and quick-shoot. We have tendency to come down and pass one time and shoot it. We have to be patient and we are doing better at that."

Finally, I started a new quilt.
On Saturday I needed a mental health break, so I ignored the laundry, the dishes, and even my own hangover, to quilt. I got a bunch of cutting done after playing with fabric combinations. This is where I started.
Do you remember this inspiration?

Afghanistan Audits Reveal Billions in U.S. Taxpayer Waste• Wired.com
As the U.S. prepares to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, the government watchdog charged with overseeing nearly $100 billion in contracts to reconstruct the country has found almost $2 billion in potential waste, fraud and abuse in the last three months alone — some of which has likely led to the deaths of American servicemen and women, according to the agency's reports.
The string of alleged violations includes phantom projects, improperly awarded contracts, aborted projects, deserted construction, a general lack of transparency to comprehensively oversee projects and, in one instance, building a $34 million military facility that will never be used.
In a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry released Thursday, Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) John F. Sopko wrote that he found "serious deficiencies" in awarding a $50 million contract for the training of Afghan justice workers that violated the department's own policies.

Q Any clue as to who is responsible for the paint that has been spread on the Bay Area freeways and streets? I'm a chauffeur and drive 300 to 400 miles per day from San Francisco to Gilroy and throughout the East Bay. I have noticed nearly a dozen spills of paint, primarily on Highway 85, Interstate 280, I-380 and Highway 92. There are also spills on some city streets.
If I remember correctly, several years ago a man was caught intentionally dumping paint in a similar style. It really bothers me to see this road graffiti.
C. Woodworth
San Jose
A I'm not sure where the paint is coming from, but Dan-the-Santa-Clara-County-Man has noticed the "paint bombs" for several years and believes there are a couple of explanations: "Either pranksters are throwing paint out the back of their vehicle to see the paint explode as it hits the pavement, or paint contractors are being sloppy, perhaps negligent, with their paint and it is falling off vehicles. Either way, it causes impacts and costs for public agencies that must try to clean it up, and it introduces additional risk for drivers, as it obscures lane lines, and can create slippery spots for motorcycles.
"Whoever does chuck this paint out on the road needs to know they are possibly risking another person's life with their silliness or sloppiness. Is that something they are prepared to live with?"
Q Say it ain't so, Gary. San Jose recently repaved a huge section of Hillsdale Avenue between Meridian Avenue and the Capitol Expressway-Auto Mall area.
My question:
Who ultimately makes these decisions to repave certain roads? I ask because this stretch of Hillsdale, as far as I can tell (not claiming to be an expert), is in fine shape and probably many years away from needing repaving.
So why waste time and money repaving a road that does not need it when there are many other San Jose streets in far worse shape? For instance, Foxworthy Avenue has been in horrible shape for years and would require a lot less material to fix. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to these money-wasting decisions our city makes.
Ian McArthur
San Jose
A Hmmm. You are not the only one asking.
Q There are frequently San Jose paving projects that I scratch my head and say, "Why here?" For example, Hillsdale Avenue between Cherry Avenue and Almaden Expressway. The paving here wasn't bad, certainly not as bad as a nearby street that is in dire need of paving, and that's Foxworthy Avenue between Meridian and Leigh avenues. Drive it and you'll see.
Victor Brancati
San Jose
A City officials offer another view, although they understand why you would rate Hillsdale as a road not needing an upgrade.
The city just completed a slurry seal on Hillsdale between Meridian and the expressway, and it admits that Hillsdale was in good shape with a pavement rating of 74 (good) compared to 51 for Foxworthy (barely above poor).
A slurry seal is a preventive maintenance step to keep it in good shape so that it lasts longer. This is the least expensive process and can save up to 10 times the cost of letting a street deteriorate to a level that will require more extensive rehab work. For example, the average cost of street work is $5 per square yard for preventive maintenance like a slurry seal, compared to $20 for light resurfacing, $40 for heavy resurfacing and $140 for reconstruction.
Added Heloisa-the-City-Paving-Guru:
"If we don't try to maintain the streets that may appear in better condition, this will allow them to deteriorate at a more advanced rate and wind up requiring much more work, requiring much more money to fix them. Performing preventive maintenance on these streets is actually the more fiscally responsible solution."
Foxworthy was last slurry-sealed in 2002, is in need of heavy resurfacing and could be in the next group of streets that would get done if funding becomes available. The city needs $100 million a year to maintain an optimum level of pavement maintenance; it currently receives $20 million.
In August, the city council is planning to discuss the possibility of raising taxes to address needs like public safety and street maintenance, for a possible tax measure in 2014.

The CMS swimming and diving team opened its season on Saturday, October 27 with a dual meet at UC San Diego. The NCAA Division II power Tritons topped the Athenas by a score of 256 to 44 and the Stags 234 to 66.
While CMS posted several stellar swims, event victories were tough to come by. The Athenas were led by senior diver Carmen Lundell, who nabbed a victory in the 3-meter diving competition by 0.45 points with a score of 244.95. For the Stags, freshman Joey Hinton established his sprint credentials by winning the 100 free with a time of 47.33.
Runner up finishes were snagged by Cameron Whting in the 200 yard freestyle, Tim Storer in the 100 backstroke, Matt Valentine in the 200 fly, Carmen Lundell in 1-meter diving, James Stevick on both the 1-meter and 3-meter boards, and Marc Blumberg in the 100 fly.
The Stags notched several new marks on the CMS All Time Top 10 performance list. Sophomore Alex Mendoza established the 6th fastest time in CMS history with his third place finish in the 1000 free with a 9:48.42. Matt Valentine earned the 9th time on the Stag top 10 list with a 1:54.24 in the 200 fly. Freshman Joey Hinton sprinted to a blistering 20.41 split in the 50 free while anchoring the CMS A 200 medley relay.
With Homecoming weekend approaching, the CMS swimmers and divers look forward to the annual alumni relay meet on Saturday, November 3 at 11:00 am. CMS's next collegiate competition will be at the Bulldog Pentathlon on November 10 at the University of Redlands.
