There has been a lot of controversy surrounding Jim Harbaugh and the San Francisco 49ers recently. The 49ers have been criticized for a general lack of discipline this season, and the burden of this accusation most likely falls on the head coach. There have been questions as to whether or not Harbaugh has lost his locker room, in terms of discipline and respect.

The Golden State Warriors have gone through some significant changes already this offseason. Right after their first round loss in the playoffs to the Los Angeles Clippers, the Warriors' front office decided to fire Mark Jackson.
After his dismissal, passionate discussions ensued among Warriors fans about Mark Jackson's coaching. Some fans thought that Jackson's coaching and offensive philosophies weren't right for the Warriors. Some fans thought that his personality wasn't a good fit for the Warriors. Some fans thought he deserved to be fired because of his comments about homosexuality in the NBA.
Some fans thought that Jackson might have been fired because of his religious views. Some fans thought that since Jackson helped turn the Warriors franchise around, he deserved to remain as head coach. Some fans thought that it wasn't smart to fire Jackson after the face of the franchise, Stephen Curry, was very vocal about his support for Jackson and his desire for Jackson to remain head coach.

Golden State Warriors Head Coach Candidates: Stan Van Gundy

The Golden State Warriors fired Mark Jackson on Tuesday, and now it's time for management to find the right coach for this team.
One of the top candidates to become the Warriors' head coach is Stan Van Gundy. Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports reported last night that the Warriors have already contacted Van Gundy about taking over as head coach.
The Warriors have contacted former NBA head coach Stan Van Gundy about their head coach opening, a source told Yahoo. No interview set yet.
— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) May 8, 2014
Former NBA coach Stan Van Gundy has interest in the job, a source said. Van Gundy has not had interest in openings with Lakers and Wolves.
A little-known Stan Van Gundy fact is he is a Bay Area native who starred at guard for Alhambra High School in Martinez.
As a head coach, Van Gundy has a career record of 579-371, and his teams have reached the playoffs in each of the eight seasons he was a head coach.
In addition to those impressive numbers, in his five seasons as the head coach of the Orlando Magic between 2007-2012, he had a .657 winning percentage, 31 playoff wins, four 50-win seasons, three Southeast Division titles, and one Eastern Conference title.
Van Gundy clearly has had success as a head coach, but he also could be a great fit for the Warriors. He values defense, which is important for the Warriors given the fact that they just recently transformed into an effective defensive team.
According to Eddy Rivera of Magicbasketball.net, Van Gundy has a defense-first mindset, and he always demanded perfection on defense.
"Van Gundy demanded consistent execution, energy, and effort on defense. And he usually got it. Defense was Van Gundy's currency in all aspects. For the players, it netted them playing time. For the Magic, it netted them wins."
Offensively, Van Gundy employed a smart, efficient system in Orlando. There's no guarantee that he would run the same offensive system for the Warriors that he did for the Magic, but if he decided to, it could be a fairly smooth transition for this Warriors team.
The basic principle of his offense was to exploit Dwight Howard's strength and ability to post-up and surround him with three-point shooters. By having a threat down low, opposing defenses had to pay extra attention to post-ups or they had to double team, which allowed shooters to spread the floor and get more open looks from three.
Now, the Warriors don't have a Howard-esque player on their team. Andrew Bogut is an elite center defensively, but his offensive talents haven't been utilized in his time with the Warriors. Van Gundy could decide to integrate Bogut more offensively, which would loosen up the opposing defense more.
Van Gundy would make the proper adjustments to not having a dominant offensive center, and he would certainly get the most out of the Warriors' ability to shoot threes. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are arguably the best shooting backcourt in the NBA, and Van Gundy would find ways to get them easier looks.
One way he might do this would be to use a stretch four, or a small forward who can shoot threes playing as the power forward. He used this approach in Orlando with Rashard Lewis, and the Magic's use of a stretch four was one of the reasons why they were so successful in Van Gundy's tenure.
There are many benefits to starting a stretch four. First of all, it makes the pick-and-roll harder to defend, which would greatly benefit the Warriors because they run so many pick-and-rolls. During a pick-and-roll between a center and a point guard, for example, the stretch four would be able to spread the floor and possibly get more open looks from three if spaced correctly.
Also, having a stretch four on the floor gives the center more room to post up and work in the paint. This puts more pressure on the defense to defend a post-up, which frees up more three-point shots. The Warriors were one of the best three-point shooting teams in the NBA last season, so they could certainly benefit from using a small ball lineup with a stretch four more, as we saw in the playoffs.
Van Gundy's use of pick-and-rolls also benefitted players who had trouble creating their own shot, which many of the Warriors' players struggle with. When the center is setting hard, effective screens and shooters maintain the proper spacing of the floor, the pick-and-roll becomes even more effective and rewards players with more catch-and-shoot opportunities.
Van Gundy knows how to maximize talent, as seen in the adjustments he made for Lewis and Howard. Perhaps he could help bring back Harrison Barnes' confidence and get the most out of his talent. Van Gundy also might be more open to starting Draymond Green as a stretch four and getting Barnes more minutes as a stretch four than another coach would.
Van Gundy is a fantastic and proven NBA coach. His teams are always well-prepared and well-coached. Although he's been known to be demanding of his players and relentless at times, he showed a looser, more positive side of himself later on in his time with the Magic.
He expects the best from his players, and often, he gets the best out of them, kind of like Gregg Popovich. His approach is very different from Jackson in that sense, but that could be a good thing. Van Gundy might be the perfect coach for this Warriors team.

La Vie est Belle Country Club (life is beautiful in French) is known as "the Korean themed club" since its grand opening in 2015. The club is situated in the hilly, mountainous area of Chuncheon, Gangwon-do Providence, which is one hour's drive away from Seoul.
The architect, Mun-Hwan Ahn, is a local Korean specialist and developer, who dreamed of making an old-fashioned Korean paradise.
There are two 18-hole courses at La Vie est Belle, the 6,515-metre Old course and the Dunes course, which both have separate clubhouses. The Old course clubhouse and golf facilities were designed and built in the traditional and historic Korean style known as the "Hanok" concept.
Each hole has its own "unique" theme that harks back to old traditional Korean landscaping. The signature par three 4th has a magnificent greensite along rocky cliffs, three rocks (shaped naturally) rise out of the water on #12 and the 15th hole features terraced rice paddy fields.
According to Hwa Young Nam, our South Korean Correspondent: "The Old course at La Vie est Belle looks back towards the old Korean heyday of the Cho-sun Dynasty. There are similar forms to be seen at Nirwana Bali in Indonesia. The Kolon Group owns the La Vie est Belle facility and also the sister clubs at Woo Jeong Hills in Cheonan and Mauna Ocean in Kyoungju.

Voters deserve to know if Cordray supports Pelosi's job-killing agenda.
For months, Washington D.C. Bureaucrat Richard Cordray has refused to say whether he supports Nancy Pelosi's plans to reverse job growth for Ohio workers. Pelosi, a top fundraiser for Democrat gubernatorial candidates, has confirmed that should Democrats win majorities in Congress this fall, she will push to repeal tax cuts that have resulted in raises and bonuses for thousands of Ohio workers.
But while Cordray has remained silent on whether he supports Pelosi's agenda, the House Democrat leader has been a prominent supporter of Washington D.C.'s most power-hungry bureaucrat. When Cordray abandoned his post as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to run for Ohio's highest office, Pelosi called him "a patriot and a champion for hard-working families in every corner of the country," despite Cordray's history of mismanagement at the CFPB, which was plagued by reports of "widespread gender and racial discrimination" as well as bureaucratic overreach under his watch.
While Cordray refuses to oppose Pelosi's job-killing agenda, giving his tacit approval to her plans to raise taxes on Ohio families, her past support for his record raises a key question for his campaign. Will Cordray accept Nancy Pelosi's support for his candidacy in Ohio? Voters deserve an answer.

The Jews murmured about Jesus because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven," and they said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? Then how can he say, 'I have come down from heaven'?" Jesus answered and said to them, "Stop murmuring among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day. It is written in the prophets: They shall all be taught by God.
Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will life forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."
Jesus' hearers cannot believe the seemingly unbelievable. When Jesus makes the radical claim, "I am the living bread come down from heaven," He is not only asking the Jews to accept His assertion that He can give His body as flesh to eat under the appearance of bread - Jesus is asking the Jews to believe in something even more fundamental - that He is the Son of God. That is why the Jews murmur among themselves that Jesus is nothing more than the son of Joseph, another man just like them. For Jesus to claim that He has come down from heaven is too unbelievable. If the Jews can believe that Jesus is the Son of God, then they might accept that He is the living bread come down from heaven. We learn that they cannot accept either claim.
What lies at the heart of our Lord's teaching, which forms the foundation of our belief in the Eucharist, is His humble and self-effacing love. In making the claim that He is the bread of life, He shows us the depth of His love. As if it were not enough that He condescends to take our human nature upon Himself in all things but sin, He goes further by dying at Calvary for our redemption. And as if that were not enough, He goes the extra mile by choosing to remain with us always, until the end of time, in the sacramental form of the Eucharist. We must ask, "Is this too incredible for us to believe? Is the transubstantiation of ordinary bread and wine into the body, blood, soul and divinity of Christ too much for us to accept?" Even though the appearances of bread and wine remain, we know that nothing of bread and nothing of wine is present in the Eucharist.
Perhaps we can consider this doctrine in this way: If Jesus Christ is both true God and true man - and we know that God created the entire universe by His mere word, then what is to stop us from believing that the Son of God could transform ordinary bread and wine into His own body and blood by His word? It is more difficult to creating something out of nothing (as in the case of creation) than it is to change pre-existing matter (bread and wine) into the Eucharist.
Yet how sad it is when statistics show a significant decline in Catholics who believe in the real presence; when Mass attendance in some parts of the world is at an all-time low, when people's attire for Mass shows an obvious lack of due respect or recognition of the miracle occurring on the altar; when many fail to keep the one-hour eucharistic fast; or even worse - when people come forward to receive holy Communion when they are in a state of mortal sin. Christ's love, made manifest in the Eucharist, is returned with so much indifference in our own day.
This claim, "I am the bread of life," would cost Jesus some credibility and certainly some popularity. At the end of the sixth chapter of the Gospel of St. John, many of the disciples would abandon our Lord. The claim costs all of us as well - at least for those of us who live according to the "Amen" we say when we receive holy Communion. When a communicant says, "amen" to the words "the body of Christ" when they receive the Eucharist at Mass, they are saying "amen" to several things, whether they know it or not.
First, they are saying "amen" to the reality of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Next, they are saying "amen" to the priesthood that confects the Eucharist and the authority of the bishops and the pope who govern and ordain men into the priesthood. Finally, they are saying "amen" to all that the Church proposes as being true and definitively taught as worthy of our belief. So, in order to make a genuine Communion, a person receiving the Eucharist must be in full communion with the Church - that is, they accept all of what the Church teaches. To believe in anything less makes that person's "amen" a disingenuous act. Only a true "amen" links us to Jesus and nourishes us into everlasting life.
For those who do not accept the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, the murmuring of disbelief in the Gospel continues in our own day. This is particularly disturbing when the murmuring comes from within our own ranks in the Church. Let us pray that we continue to grow in our belief of the seemingly unbelievable and teach others to love our blessed Lord, who, through the Eucharist, pledges to remain with us until the end of time.

1. How do I know which size exclusion resin to use for my protein?
Select a resin where the target protein is located in the middle of the separating range. This will allow larger molecular weight as well as lower molecular weight to be well resolved from the target. Please consult the TOYOPEARL HW resin that best meets this.
2. Why is Size Exclusion Chromatography not used in large scale processes?
Size Exclusion Chromatography is a non-adsorptive mode. This means that there is no calculated binding capacity and the amount charged to an SEC column is dependent on the column size, the concentration of the injection, the volume of the injection and the operating flow rate. Typically the size of the column used when scaling up a process requires signicant increases in column size and height which are not economically feasible.
3. Since Size Exclusion is not used in large scale process what alternatives are available?
Tosoh Bioscience often recommends using HIC as an attractive alternative to SEC. Although HIC does not have the binding capacity of IEC, it is quite powerful at separating isoforms of the protein (such as aggregates and misfolded species) that may not be resolvable on ion exchange resins.
4. How fast can I run an SEC column? If I run at a lower flow rate, do I get better resolution?
TOYOPEARL SEC resins are rated to withstand up to 3 bar. However, running at lower flow rates maximizes sample exposure to pore volume allowing for better resolution between molecules.


This is a textbook for a first course in statistics, but the title -- "conceptual statistics" -- gives it away.
The focus is on acquiring a conceptual understanding of the material. Technical demands are modest and the prose style is highly readable and engaging. Concrete examples are given priority in the presentation, with abstract principles following (rather than the other way around, which is by far the norm in textbook writing).
Section 3.3 "The Story of Statistical Inference" is a wonderful introduction to the logic of statistical inference and hypothesis testing, including discussion of null hypotheses, p-values and statistical significance. You could easily pull this chapter out and include it in a critical thinking reading package.

Will 2019 be a banner Grammys year for women, or just a big bust?
Some of the leading 2019 Grammy Awards nominees include, clockwise from top right, Cardi B, Lady Gaga, Janelle Monáe, H.E.R. and Kacey Musgraves.

Women may not yet run the world, notwithstanding the title of Beyoncé's 2011 hit song. But they could run the table at Sunday's 61st annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where Lady Gaga, Diana Ross, Dolly Parton (who was honored at Friday night's all-star pre-Grammy MusiCares concert), Cardi B, Katy Perry, Brandi Carlile, St. Vincent, Kacey Musgraves, Camila Cabello, Maren Morris, H.E.R., Dua Lipa, Yolanda Adams, Fantasia, San Diego's Andra Day and Little Big Town's Kimberly Schlapman and Karen Fairchild are all set to perform.
That is, women artists could run the table and win the most prestigious Grammys— if a batch of largely unpredictable variables line up in the newly expanded Album, Record and Song of the Year categories, for which a record number of women are nominated.
The same holds true in the expanded Best New Artist category, in which six of the eight nominees are female. They include Dua Lipa, Margo Price, Bebe Rexha, Jorja Smith, the duo Chloe x Halle (who performed "America the Beautiful" at last Sunday's Super Bowl) and H.E.R. (the name under which 21-year-old Bay Area R&B troubadour Gabriella Wilson records).
If those variables do line up, the music world's most prestigious — and sometimes contentious — annual awards show could be dominated by women winners in all four of its highest profile categories. That could make it an historic night for such top 2019 nominees as Brandi Carlile, Cardi B, Gaga, Musgraves, Morris, Janelle Monáe and H.E.R.
But the higher number of options on the ballot in those four categories — which this year were increased to eight nominees each, up from five apiece in 2018 — could split the ballots for voters even farther. Or, perhaps, not.
"The honest answer, from an operational perspective, is: I don't know," said Neil Portnow, the CEO and president of the nonprofit Recording Academy, under whose auspices the Grammys are presented. "I couldn't say yet, because to have a complete evaluation and sense about it, you have to go through the full process from beginning to completion. So I want to see where we go, what the results are, and — at the end of the day — what the experience was for those who are involved.
"When we institute change, especially something as dramatic as this, we want to go through a cycle before we see if we achieved everything we wanted and whether there might be some tweaks to make it better. … The bottom line is that every year is different and that it is a competition. And, in any year, with different nominees — whoever they are and given what genres they may or may not represent — where the competition comes into play is really hard to know."
Of course, the Grammys are usually full of twists and turns.
But Sunday's show may have more than ever, plus several that came earlier in the week.
On Thursday, it was disclosed that Arianna Grande — a two-time nominee this year — dropped off the list of performers after she and the show's producers could not agree on one of the songs she wanted to sing. Taylor Swift, whose "Reputation" is nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album but was snubbed in the Album of the Year category, will also miss the telecast because of a filming commitment in London.
In what may be a much bigger black eye, this year's two top nominees — Kendrick Lamar and Drake, who have a field-leading eight and seven nominations, including for Album, Song and Record of the Year — declined invitations to perform on Sunday's telecast. So did Childish Gambino, who has five nominations for his galvanizing "This is America," including Song and Record of the year. Their decisions reflect the increasingly rocky relationship between hip-hop artists and the Grammys.

First woman Grammy host since 2004
Monáe, Musgraves, Carlile and H.E.R., who write or co-write all of their songs, are each vying for Album of the Year honors. So is social-media sensation Cardi B, a former stripper turned rapper and pop superstar of the moment. Only three of the current Album of the Year contenders — Drake, Lamar and Post Malone — are male. And Drake, whose top-selling "Scorpion" is the most uneven album of his career, will likely come up short next to Lamar, who is nominated for curating and performing on the hit film soundtrack "Black Panther: The Album, Music From And Inspired By."
Of the 2019 performers announced as of Wednesday, 17 of the 27 are women and range from Cardi B and Brandi Carlile to Lady Gaga and San Diego vocal powerhouse Andra Day. By comparison, only 13 of the 32 performers in last year's Grammys telecast were women. And last year's sole female Album of the Year nominee, Lorde, was the only artist in that category who was not given a performance slot.
For good measure, today's awards telecast will be hosted by Alicia Keys, a 15-time Grammy-winner who in 2008 scored a hit with her song "Superwoman." She will be the first female artist to host the Grammys since Queen Latifah in 2005 — and only the fifth in the event's seven-decade history.
If all of this makes it seem like women are stepping up at the Grammys this year, they are. But not nearly as much as the Recording Academy, which has taken a commendably pro-active role following the withering criticism that followed last year's edition of the Grammys. Gender disparity was not the only reason.
Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar had a field-leading eight and seven nominations, respectively last year, including for Album, Song and Record of the Year. Prior to 2018, no hip-hop artist had ever been nominated for Record and Song of the Year.
But it was mainstream pop-funk star Bruno Mars — a safe, slick, tradition-embracing nominee — who won in all three of those categories last year. Jay-Z went home without a single victory. Lamar, who has a field-leading eight nominations this year, won five Grammys, but was also shut out by Mars in the top three categories.
The resulting wave of criticism was exacerbated by the fact that only two hip-hop albums — Lauryn Hill's "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" in 1999 and Outkast's "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below" in 2004 — have ever won for Album of the Year. Or, as the Union-Tribune's review of last year's Grammys began: "You can lead 13,000 Grammy Award voters to hip-hop, but you can't make them cast their ballots for it."
At least as upsetting to many, women were chronically under-represented as nominees in the major categories last year — and Best New Artist winner Alessia Cara was the only female artist to receive a solo Grammy on air during the 2018 telecast.

Stepping up to controversy
The situation was further exacerbated when, in the backstage Grammy media room last year, the usually savvy Recording Academy honcho Portnow was asked about the disparity in gender representation of 2018's winners. He responded "women who have the creativity in their hearts and souls, who want to be musicians, who want to be engineers, producers, and want to be part of the industry on the executive level" needed to "step up."
The hashtags #GrammysSoMale and #GrammysSoWhite quickly went viral. This was followed by calls for Portnow — under whose leadership the Grammys have grown significantly over the past 17 years — to step down. In July, it was announced he will do just that in July, after his contract expires.
"In any given year and time at the Grammys, there will be potential different issues, concerns and and elements — whether business-related, social or political," Portnow said in a recent Union-Tribune interview.
"All of those factors need to be weighed into what we do, across the board, as an organization and, certainly, as far as the nominations are concerned. That will continue. And that is healthy and is what can keep us relevant and give us the opportunity to be open-minded and be able to adjust and react to a changing landscape."
To its credit, the Recording Academy made the most of the uproar over last year's Grammys telecast.
In May, the academy launched its Task Force on Diversity & Inclusion. It is led by Tina Tchen, who was chief of staff for former First Lady Michelle Obama and Executive Director of the White House Council on Women and Girls.
Last week, that task force announced a music-industry-wide initiative to expand opportunities for female recording engineers and producers, who constitute just a fraction of the industry.
This follows the December announcement of this year's Grammy nominees, which includes former 4 Non Blondes band mainstay Linda Perry — who briefly lived in San Diego in her late teens — as one of the five nominees in the Producer of the Year, Non-Classical category.
No woman has ever won this award before or even been nominated in this category since 2004, which is the last time the Grammys had a female host. Perhaps coincidentally, on Monday Perry hosted a town hall at the Los Angeles Grammy Museum with Dolly Parton, who on Friday night was honored by an all-star musical cast as the Recording Academy's MusiCares Person of the Year.
"It's a challenging task to create objectivity out of something as inherently subjective as art," Portnow said. "If you're a Recording Academy voting member and a professional in this industry, your view of what determines excellence comes through a slightly different lens than a fan's. The Grammy Awards are not (determined) by fans, record chart positions, a performer's popularity or social media prominence, at all.
"It's really about the music and you'll always have different opinions. Ultimately, it's hard — even for the professionals — to make choices."
San Diego-bred Grammy Awards nominees
A number of former San Diegans are among this year's Grammy nominees. They include:
Gregory Porter: This intensely soulful jazz singer got his start performing here while attending San Diego State University. He won Grammys — in 2013 and 2016, respectively — both for Best Jazz Vocal Album. He is nominated this year for the sixth time in his career — in the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album category — for "Nat 'King' Cole & Me."
Steve Roach: This veteran ambient music composer and performer is a La Mesa native who began playing electronic music here after turning away from a potentially lucrative career as a motocross racer. Roach earned his first Grammy nomination last year, after having recorded 172 albums as both a solo artist and in collaboration with other performers. He is nominated again this year — and again in the Best New Age Album category — for his 173rd album "Molecules of Motion," and has since released four more albums.
Chris Thile: This San Diego native and mandolin wizard is the co-founder of the bluegrass-and-beyond trio Nickel Creek, whose five Grammy nominations resulted in a 2003 win for Best Contemporary Folk Album. Thile has won three other Grammys, including one as a member of the four-man Goat Rodeo Sessions band with cellist Yo-Yo Ma, bassist Edgar Meyer and former San Diego violinist Stuart Duncan. Thile is nominated this year — in the Best Folk Album category — for "All Ashore," the latest album by his genre-leaping group Punch Brothers.
Grammys by the decade
1959: The first Grammy Awards were held simultaneously on the same day in Beverly Hills and New York City. The Kingston Trio, featuring Coronado native Nick Reynolds, won the first Best Country & Western Performance Grammy for their recording of "Tom Dooley." The trio also won 1960's Best Folk Performance award.
1962: The first Best Rock and Roll Recording Grammy was awarded to Chubby Checker for "Let's Twist Again." The 1963 winners in that category were April Stevens & Nino Tempo for "Deep Purple," a song that had as much to do with rock music as playwright Edward Albee, 1963's Best Spoken Word Album winner.
1976: Paul Simon concluded his Album of the Year acceptance speech for "Still Crazy After All These Years" by saying: "Most of all, I'd like to thank Stevie Wonder, who didn't make an album this year."
1984: Michael Jackson won eight Grammys for his "Thriller" album. Former Tijuana guitarist Carlos Santana tied that record in 2000 with his "Supernatural" album.
1990: Best New Artist winner Milli Vanilli had its Grammy revoked, after the disclosure that the German vocal duo did not sing a note on its debut album.
2002: "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack album singers The Peasall Sisters — Sarah, 13, Hannah, 9, and Leah, 7 — become the youngest winners in Grammy history.
2012: Less than 24 hours before the telecast, six-time Grammy winner and 26-time nominee Whitney Houston was found dead in the bathtub of her Beverly Hills hotel room. Show host LL Cool J gave a spoken tribute at the start of the show, which later reached an emotional climax with Jennifer Hudson's impassioned performance of Houston's biggest hit, the Dolly Parton-penned "I Will Always Love You."

1. How does the City decide which streets are to be overlaid with asphalt each year?
In order to be fair and scientific about these important decisions, the City employs a rating system for each street to prioritize the order of when a particular street will be overlaid. The system we use looks at the condition of the street and the volume of traffic. Each year, the street overlay program is compiled using this system. Then it is simply a matter of providing a sufficient budget for each year of street overlays.
2. How long does a typical asphalt overlay last?
The rule of thumb for this question is ten to twelve years. On the 1 to 10 condition rating, City streets average a little over 6. Our experience so far indicates that our overlay program will last an average of twelve years before needing another overlay. This figure, of course, is dependent upon proper maintenance (e.g., crack sealing) during the life of the overlay, as well as traffic volume and drainage issues.
3. I remember a time when the City sealed the streets every four or so years. Why don't you do that anymore?
We have begun using a process called microseal. We can protect a street in fair condition for an additional 4-5 years. The microseal does not smooth out a street but provides a wearing surface that also seals the street.

It is a well-known and established fact that all humans are born understanding English.
However, through various causes, but mainly because they're nothing more than lazy, shiftless foreigners, large numbers of them seem to have forgotten it by the time they reach adulthood and therefore persist in jabbering at one another in their funny foreign lingo. Worse, when spoken to, they pretend not to understand.
However, it is also well-known that their memories can be jogged by shouting at them, slowly, in English. Gestures may be of assistance in this context.
Now, BorgCo editors are preparing to publish the first English to EENG-LEESH phrase book. Phrases are grouped according to context; for example, "In the Bar" is followed by "In the Street Brawl", "In the Hospital", "In the Police Station", "In the Courtroom" and "In front of the Firing Squad".
The section "In the Post Office" contains phrases such as "STAMPS ... STAMPS FOR POST CARD ... POST CARD TO EEENNG-LAAND .... STAMPS ... Dear God, bunch of bloody monkeys the lot of them, heaven knows why we threw the Krauts out ... STAAMMPS ... POOOSST CAARDD."
Not for us the creaky, antiquated phraseology of yesterday; nowhere will you find such choice phrases as "My motorized velocipede is incommoded; pray, summon an artisan, as I fear there is some derangement of the magneto". No, it's all contemporary and up to date. If you want to inform the barman that you wouldn't mind another beer before next week, and then he can get back to sexual congress with his donkey, then this is the book for you.
Purchasers should note that the section "In the Tobacconist" is currently under revision, as a result of an embarrassing and ultimately violent, yet extremely funny, encounter with a Hungarian gentleman complaing about a scratched record he had purchased.
So you're saying that English speakers never actually get around to learning a language besides baby-talk?
The "baby talk" is merely the result of imperfect muscular control in the organs of speech. Without intervention, basic English is the result.
Unfortunately, some parents insist on forcing their offspring to communicate in some other, entirely unnatural, spoken form. This is why foreigners have so many problems.
Now that brexit has been tiggered, I fully expect all UK residents will return to the way we used to talk*, as depicted in Edwardian black and white television recordings of the day, captured on film.
* Except the welsh, they never sounded like that, they sang everything.
Quite so. It's basically like foot-binding, neck-stretching or thumb-curling; if you can get past infancy without its being done to you, you'll be OK.
The Mayans used to strap two boards to the front and back of baby's heads, to produce a particularly desireable appearance in adulthood; a flattened forehead, a pointy skull, and a distorted nose.
This practice has almost - but not quite - fallen out of favour now, but it's clear that there must be a significant population of Mayan emigres in france, since most presidents of the republic since charles de gaulle have been flat-faced pointy-headed mouth breathers.
Eeyore obviously worried about it.
"Looks like Scotland fell off again..."

Community Solar a Key to Energy Equity in Florida
"Finally, the Sunshine State is living up to its name and taking steps to become a true leader in the solar revolution. A critical component of our just transition to renewable energy is ensuring that every Floridian can participate and benefit from affordable, clean, local solar power. That's why we must extend the benefits of solar power to renters and people with homes that are not suitable for solar panels."
FPL Plans Nation's Largest Community Solar Program; Includes Low-Income Focus
Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) today announced that it is garnering more support from solar stakeholders for its FPL SolarTogether, a proposed new offering for FPL customers that would be the largest community solar program in the U.S., pending regulatory review.

Nation and Memory. Commemorations and the Construction of National Memory under Reza Shah. Afshin Marashi.
In: Nationalizing Iran. Culture, power, and the state, 1870-1940. Afshin Marashi. Seattle, University of Washington Press, 2011. ISBN 9780295800615
On a Fall morning in November 1934, several dozen european orientalists made a pilgrimage to pay their respects at the mausoleum of Omar Khayyam, the thirteenth-century Persian poet whose famous Rubaiyat had long been canonized as a masterpiece of Persian literature The group of pilgrims included such luminaries in the study of Iranian art, literature, and culture as Henri Massé, Jan Rypka, Arthur Christensen, and Vladimir Minorsky. The gathering at Omar Khayyam's grave was more than a casual homage, it was what the French historian Pierre Nora
described as a lieu de mémoire, a symbolic event, site, or object designed to"inhibit forgetting, to fix a state of things, to immortalize death, and to materialize the immaterial . . . all in order to capture the maximum possible meaning with the fewest possible signs." The gathering at Omar Khayyam's grave was just one example of this phenomenon. It worked to create a new set of associations with the memory of Khayyam. The construction of the mausoleum and the respects paid to the poet by national political leaders and international arbiters of cultural prestige drew attention to his memory and reinforced his place in the national pantheon. At least as important was the way in which the gathering was represented, portrayed, and made to circulate in the public's mind. The most important detail of the ceremony was neither the toast nor the lines of poetry inscribed at the base of the obelisk but rather the headline, story, and photograph depicting the ceremony in the national press. In understanding the nature of commemorative activity, two basic procedures can be identified: the construction of national memory in its general form and the popularization of that memory as a form of normative consciousness.
cultural identity; history; Iran; nationalism

Documents, Records and Closing Services, Genesis Real Estate has you covered.
How Can Document Preparation Help Me?
Real life example: An unmarried couple bought a house together. We listed them with the "right of survivorship". This type of document specifies if one partner passes away the property would transfer to the other and not the deceased surviving heirs. The couple ensured they would not lose their home in the case of a tragic loss. Call us with any questions.
Property documentation affects how a property is transferred during major events such as divorce, death or even the sale of a home. Proper document preparation protects you and your family's new investment. Learn about the types of documents Genesis Real Estate Title can prepare for you. We can prepare several types of deeds and a variety of related documents.
The estate is free from encumbrances. The General Warranty Deed is the deed most used in insuring titles to real property and gives the most protection to the Grantee.
These deeds are often used when the conveyance is from an executor, administrator, trustee, guardian, etc. There must be a valid reason for the Grantor to be limiting the warranty. We want to be certain that the Grantor does not have knowledge of some defect in the chain of title that is not being acknowledged.
Does not contain "grant and convey" language.
Quit claim deeds are not acceptable in the direct chain of title and are normally used only for curative matters. An example would be where a Divorce Decree properly divests one spouse's interest in the property to the other–a Quit Claim Deed may then be used to satisfy disposal of the spouse's interest in the real estate transaction.
Property Records: Documents filed with the state that include information about mortgages, assessments, taxes, liens and judgments, levies, easements or restrictions of subdivisions.
Specific Power of Attorney: A written document given by one person or party to another authorizing one to act for the other.
Promissory Note: A written promise to pay a specified sum of money to a designated person or entity. This can be handy if you are financing with a privately held mortgage by an individual or company.
Deed of Trust: The recorded document filed against the collateral to secure the promissory note. This can also be called a mortgage.
Release/Satisfaction of Mortgage: A document stating the mortgage or Deed of Trust has been paid in full.
Partial Release: A document releasing only part of property from mortgage.
Estate by Entirety Deed: A type of concurrent estate in real property held by a Husband and Wife whereby each owns the undivided whole of the property, coupled with the Right of Survivorship, so that upon the death of one, the survivor is entitled to the decedent's share.
Personal Representative Deed: A property involved in Probate can be transferred by the Personal Representative.

Q: SQL Server 2008 - update a column based on a column of similar grouping of row I am looking for a single update statement if possible.
Consider:
rsvpgroup   |   personid | isVip | firstname | lastname |   type
------------------------------------------------------------------
1                100         1       bob         smith     leader
1                101         0       john        doe       guest
1                102         0       sara        jones     guest
2                200         0       tom         ohara     leader
2                201         0       jane        doe       guest

I need to update isVIP for guest in an rsvp group if their "leader" isVip=1
So in this scenario rows, 2 and 3 above will be updated from 0 to 1. Rows 4, 5 will remain unchanged

A: UPDATE  a
SET     a.isVip = 1
FROM    TableName a
        INNER JOIN TableName b
            ON  a.rsvpgroup = b.rsvpgroup AND
                b.[type] = 'leader' AND
                b.isVip = 1
WHERE   a.[type] = 'guest'

*

*SQLFiddle Demo
OUTPUT after update statement has been executed
╔═══════════╦══════════╦═══════╦═══════════╦══════════╦════════╗
║ RSVPGROUP ║ PERSONID ║ ISVIP ║ FIRSTNAME ║ LASTNAME ║  TYPE  ║

                      (partition by RSVPgroup) as LeaderIsVIP
      from t
     )
update toupdate
    set IsVIP = LeaderIsVIP
    where IsVIP <> LeaderIsVIP;

Combat stress - it's easy!
Combatting Stress: Summer is ending for students and vacationers alike, and I have to admit, this last summer was a blast. With long schooldays and long work hours awaiting us during the fall season, I think stress is a good topic to tackle.
1. Control your thoughts - My favorite way to tackle stress is to enjoy endless hours of beachtime while sipping ice cold lemonades. But let's be realistic - we rarely have the time or opportunity to soak in the sun with an endless flow of refreshing beverages. With real schedules in mind, here are a few ways to control stress levels. The first realistic way to control stress is to control your thoughts. Your thoughts make or break your mood, and your mood can affect your stress levels. Positive thoughts like "I can finish this report in time if I just keep focused," always beat out negative thoughts like "I'm doomed, this report isn't going to get done and I'm going to get fired." The thoughts you choose to go through your mind materialize in physical forms and affect stress levels. So the first key for controlling stress is to control your thoughts. Keep positive, and make positive affirmations instead of negative ones. Stop beating yourself up - most of us deserve more credit than we give ourselves.
> Depression, Mood swings, Rage reactions, Migraine headache, Dizziness, Light-headedness, Loss of balance, Disorientation, Mental confusion, Anxiety, Panic attacks, Hyperactivity, Behavioral problems in children, Attention deficit disorders, Lethargy, Sleepiness, Insomnia, Numbness or paralysis, Seizures, Sciatica, Slurred speech, Chills and shakes, Shuddering, and the list goes on.
4. Exercise - Exercising regularly significantly lowers stress levels. In fact, it has the unique capacity to lift up your spirits and exercise your brain along with your body! Thirty minutes of moderate activity a day will do it. Dance until you break a sweat, go up and down a flight of stairs until you start breathing a little heavier than usual, jog instead of walk to the corner store, get up and sit back down twenty times at your computer desk three times a day (start now!), play marco/polo in the local community pool/club, do 30 jumping jacks on the hour, play some tennis, or find your own fun way to get the 30 minutes in. When you start looking for ways to exercise, you'll realize the options are endless. Get your daily dose of 30 minutes of exercise and you will automatically reduce your stress levels, reduce anxiety, maintain a healthy heart, earn a sense of pride and self-confidence, and keep in physical shape and in generally good cheer.
Here's your Stress Control Formula - try it ASAP!

Blues Royal SHIRLEY KING, Daughter Of B.B. KING, Unveils New Studio Album With A Court Of Special Guests!
Features performances by Joe Louis Walker, Robben Ford, Elvin Bishop, Junior Wells, Pat Travers, Steve Cropper, Martin Barre, Harvey Mandel and others!
Los Angeles, CA – Being the blues-singing daughter of B.B. King has earned Shirley King the title "Daughter of the Blues," but she is an outstanding singer and performer in her own right and capable of singing any kind of music that comes her way. Just witness her newest full-length album, Blues For A King, which crosses musical genres from blues to rock to soul and back again. Even next to such high wattage guests as Joe Louis Walker, Robben Ford, Junior Wells, Pat Travers & Elvin Bishop, King absolutely shines as she performs spectacular version of the blues classics "Gallows Pole" and "Hoodoo Blues Man" as well as the soul hit "Johnny Porter" (originally by The Temptations) plus two songs by British rock band Traffic, "Can't Find My Way Home" and "Feelin' Alright?." The album closes with a powerful version of Etta James's unforgettable "At Last," which signals that, at long last, Shirley King is finally getting the attention and recognition she so richly deserves.
"I'm so thrilled that these great artists lent their amazing talents to my new album. I can't thank them enough for believing in me. I'm so proud of this album and can't wait for the world to hear it. I feel it's my best work yet," enthuses Shirley. Blues Hall of Fame guitarist Joe Louis Walker, who guests on two tracks on the new album, says, "I've had the honor of performing on two B.B. King albums. Now I have the distinct honor and pleasure of playing on his daughter's album, Shirley King, who is also my dear friend. Keep the thrill goin' on, Shirley…."
Blues For A King will be available on both CD and vinyl starting June 19 from Cleopatra Blues, a subsidiary of Cleopatra Records, Inc.

Born and raised in Memphis, Shirley began singing in the church choir at age nine. When she was thirteen, she met another music legend – Etta James. Young Shirley was so impressed by Etta's performance that she made Etta her musical role model. Ruth Brown and the late Mahalia Jackson also greatly influenced the fledgling singer. Shirley says, "I grew up around the stage watching my dad become famous, but I never imagined I'd become a blues singer too." Ms. King came late to the blues, first trying it on in 1990. Within six months, she was a regular performer at famed Chicago blues club Kingston Mines. Two years later she saw the release of her first CD, "Jump Through My Keyhole."
In 1999, Shirley released her highly acclaimed blues album, "Daughter of the Blues," which featured her soulful, bluesy versions of classics like "Wang Dang Doodle," "Sweet Home Chicago," "Every Day I Have the Blues" and, fittingly, "The Thrill is Gone." Once her father caught her act he lent his full support to Shirley's efforts at carrying on the blues. She admits that having a legendary father helped open some doors for her, but it was her talent, charisma and high-energy stage presence, along with her big, beautiful singing voice, that put her on the musical map. From traditional blues to gospel to funky R&B to smooth soul, Shirley defies genre and her singing and stage antics never fails to excite her growing number of fans worldwide.
Shirley also believes in giving back. She has worked with kids as an artist-in-residence with the highly acclaimed Urban Gateways Arts in the Schools Program at Chicago Public Schools and continues to expose school children to the history blues has played in American culture. All in all, Shirley King continues to be the quintessential ambassador for the blues – and that's something that would certainly make her daddy proud.
