On February 13th, Valentine's Day Eve, Drake broke the Internet. If You're Reading This It's Too Late was placed on iTunes without any announcement, promotion or radio single. Since then the release has gone on to sell 495,00 copies in its first week and occupy seventeen of the top fifty spots on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs. Although it was released on the sixth year anniversary of Drake's seminal mixtape So Far Gone, and may not be as groundbreaking as that release was but it is a solid, albeit flawed, addition to his growing legacy.
Too Late opens with the brash anthem "Legend" produced by OVO Sound singer/producer PARTYNEXTDOOR. The song samples Ginuwine's "So Anxious" and finds Drake openly musing about his current status in the rap game. Over trunk-rattling kick-drums and a subtle bass line Drake unapologetically declares himself as a legend who is far from done cementing himself in the history books. However, PARTYNEXTDOOR's musical contributions do not end with the production on the aforementioned song. While his "Wednesday Night Interlude" may be a transparent and enjoyable diversion, "Preach" is certainly a mixed bag. Musically it is an infectious up-tempo groove designed to drive dance floors crazy. However, PND's grossly over-processed vocals are more likely to drive people away from rather than to the dance floor. Even Drake's impressive showing on his verse is not able to save the song from being mediocre at best. and unlistenable at worst. For reasons like this, among others, Too Late is somewhat of a departure from Drake's blueprint up to this point in his career. The contributions of Noah "40" Shebib, crafter of the signature atmospheric OVO sound with his trademark muffled drums, are few and far between here. He is only credited with four tracks, one of those being the immediately memorable and moving, "You & the 6." Co-produced by Boi-1da and !llmind, it is a heartrending ode to Drake's mom that hits all the right musical and emotional notes.
While Drake could never be accused of being a monotone, one flow rapper, this is the most experimental he has ever been in his career with his rhyme schemes and delivery. Throughout Too Late Drake expertly varies his flow while using unorthodox rhymes schemes on songs like "6 Man" which ends in a brilliant, if not entirely random, interpolation of Erykah Badu's chorus from "You Got Me" by The Roots. There is also "Know Yourself," a bass heavy production that finds the Toronto native beginning with his familiar sing-songy flow, but when the beat transitions he switches to a rapid spit fire flow that abruptly starts and stops at his discretion to great effect. Listeners who are highly critical of Drake's frequent forays into the R&B realm will be very pleased to know that he does a lot more rapping than singing on this project. However, when he does venture away from rhymes it is with impressive results. Songs like "Now & Forever" and "The Jungle" are expertly executed, sounding not the least bit contrived, forced or misplaced. Then there is "Madonna," a brilliant yet brief R&B/Rap hybrid that only Drake could effectively pull off.
The project concludes with "6PM in New York." It is a ferocious romp over a superbly produced beat by Boi-1da, Frank Dukes and Sven Thomas. Containing no chorus and few musical breaks, the song finds Drake saving his fiercest lines for last. So much attention has been paid to the song's lyrical castration of Tyga that the song's most poignant lines are often overlooked. Alluding to the rash of police brutality against unarmed people of color that led to nationwide outrage and the Black Lives Matter movement, Drake raps, "And I heard someone say something that stuck with me a lot/ 'Bout how we need protection from those protectin' the block/ Nobody lookin' out for nobody/ Maybe we should try and help somebody or be somebody/ Instead of bein' somebody that makes the news/ So everybody can tweet about it/ And then they start to R.I.P. about it/ And four weeks later nobody even speaks about it/ Damn, I just had to say my piece about it/ Oh, you gotta love it." These lines hint to a depth of social concern that most in their wildest dreams would never expect to come from Drake. However, just as quickly as he calls into question the arrogance and vanity accredited to him he continues, "But they scared of the truth so back to me showin' out in public/ That's a hotter subject." Lyrics such as these reveal Drake not to be the one-dimensional caricature many paint him as. Instead he claims to be a multi-faceted artist who is limited by the shallow demands of popular culture.
If You're Reading This Now It Is Too Late might not be the best release in Drake's catalogue, but it is nonetheless a much welcome addition. While far from a flawless project, what it does get right makes it a worthwhile listen and even its not so bright moments can grow on a listener over time. While being embroiled in various squabbles with other rap artists, serving as an executive for his hometown NBA team the Toronto Raptors, and juggling the responsibilities that come with various endorsement deals, Drake seems to be as committed to his craft as he ever has been. With rampant speculation concerning an imminent departure from Cash Money swirling overhead we can only hope October's Very Own continues to somehow rise above it. Word.

Animation Nancy Beiman Short Film Collaboration Indigenous Thomas King
Thomas King, acclaimed author, educator and broadcaster, took part in the annual Sheridan Reads community-wide reading experience in November 2016 to discuss his seminal book: The Inconvenient Indian. A long-standing Professor of Animation and fan of King's writing, Nancy Beiman, attended the event in hopes of getting her copy of his book signed. After being introduced by Paula Laing, Manager of Indigenous Learning and Support, and learning of Beiman's work, King excitedly stated his long-time wish to animate one of his stories.

From that encounter, Beiman, Dean Ronni Rosenberg of the Faculty of Animation, Arts and Design and Associate Dean Angela Stukator of the Bachelor of Animation program, set out to cultivate this collaboration and see how Sheridan could apply one of its longest-standing disciplines to King's works.
Writing began almost immediately on what would develop into the short film titled A Short History of Indians in Canada, based on the title story of King's collection published back in 2005. The story, told almost entirely through dialogue, is about a traveling businessman and his conversations with a hotel doorman and two city workers in Toronto as he embarks on a symbolic tour of Canada's dark relationship with its Indigenous peoples.
Working in animation presented King with an opportunity to present the story with a different set of creative considerations. The doorman was reimagined as a mischievous, shapeshifting coyote, an animal that is frequently depicted as a trickster-type character in some Indigenous stories. Since the original stories were published more than a decade ago, city landmarks such as the new Toronto sign at Nathan Phillips Square and the ubiquitous presence of smartphones were added to situate the animation and to touch on issues relevant to a modern-day setting.

After five drafts of the script were written, production began. Beiman led the project with a group of second and third-year Animation co-op students who worked as layout and background artists, animators and assistant animators. The film's soundtrack includes a Round Dance mix by Thomas King and a newly-discovered score written nearly 70 years ago by Beiman's father Melvyn Beiman, a professional musician. Serendipitously, Melvyn's music fit with the mid-1950s UPA studio style of the film and complimented the action. All of the voice artists involved were Indigenous or had Indigenous ancestry including King and Laing, who provided the voices of the Coyote and Ruby.
To ensure the designs of characters, props, colours and sounds showed respect for Indigenous cultures and peoples, the project was developed with the ongoing advisement of King and Sheridan's Centre for Indigenous Learning and Support. Beiman's character designs and animation were in the comic tradition of American and Canadian cartooning to accentuate the surrealism and horror of King's script. The look of the birds was influenced by the Woodlands style but used original designs and colors.
Elijah Williams, Indigenous Initiatives Coordinator for the Centre believes that this type of initiative demonstrate Sheridan's ongoing commitments to Indigenous education and Truth and Reconciliation. "Art can play an active role in fostering dialogue and action on the path to reconciliation," he says. "Projects such as this keep conversations about contemporary issues facing Indigenous communities open. This collaboration between Sheridan and Thomas King also shows what reconciliation can look like when educational curriculum incorporates Indigenous knowledge and histories."

A Short History of Indians in Canada was completed in July 2017 as a co-production between Sheridan and Thomas King's Dead Dog Café Productions. The film has been entered into numerous festivals and was recently accepted into the Women Over 50 Film Festival (WOFFF) in Brighton, England.

By popular demand! At long last (and just in time for their 68th episode), Arnold and Scott turn their attention to one of the towering achievements of horror cinema, the start of the modern zombie genre that is…NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968)! In this special tribute installment, the guys chat about favorite moments from such an oft-viewed classic, themes that resonate as powerfully in 2016 as they did in 1968, and some of the reasons why the ghouls of NIGHT are not quite the zombies people may remember. Board up the doors and windows (and don't miss that one over your shoulder in the living room), tell your companion to "just calm down," and settle in for one hell of a night!


"Patches" is the Fitness Revolution Napa Mascot! The Larson Family rescued her from the shelter in September 2013. She is sure to give you a sweet, gentle and irresistibly cute welcome anytime you stop by the Enterprise, Napa office! She loves to walk. No long runs but she loves to sprint and jump. She believes that rest is an integral part of being healthy, which is why she spends most of her day napping at the gym!
She is loved by all who meet her!
If you need some unconditional love, swing by the office and say hi anytime.


Good job trying (again) to kill PatchMii and forgetting to overwrite cIOS. In case you don't know, that's IOS249 (not IOS254), and it's what all the VC/WiiWare pirates use, as well as the softmod pirate's choice of IOS, as it includes DVD read patches. It's also what they're using to patch your update now so they can enjoy SD launching of pirated titles. Good job.
Hint: If you worked on screwing up piracy instead of blocking homebrew, you might have a better chance at stopping it. And you know that we aren't going to help the pirates, don't you?
This was also your last chance to get rid of some piracy before the release of a NAND backup/restore solution. You blew it.

In 2016, the FDA finalized their guidance on how human factors and usability engineering should be applied in the design process for medical devices. While this may be new to some, practitioners of user-centered design have known for years that these practices not only improve product safety, they also result in a better product. For those who find themselves in unfamiliar territory, we revisit why usability engineering is so important and how the fundamental elements of usability engineering can be integrated into the design process.

Justin Theroux Was at Jennifer Aniston's Friendsgiving This Year!
It looks like Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston are closer than we realized!
The divorced couple reunited at Jennifer's Friendsgiving feast on Wednesday (November 27) and Justin took to Instagram to share some fun content from the party.
Jennifer invited her best friends to the event, including Justin, Courteney Cox, Jason Bateman and wife Amanda Anka, Jimmy Kimmel and wife Molly McNearney, Will Arnett, and more.
At one point during the meal, Justin started filming Courteney while she gave a toast to Jen and she was not happy about it.
"Justin, please stop filming me," Courteney said. Justin replied, "I'm supposed to be recording the toasts!" But things changed and in the next clip he can be heard saying, "Now she wants me to film her."
Jennifer and Justin got married in 2015 and they announced their separation in February 2018.

Will Arnett Celebrataes Emmy Nomination for 'Bojack Horseman'!
Will Arnett is all smiles while attending Netflix's Bojack Horseman special For Your Consideration screening and reception held at the Netflix Home Theater on Tuesday (August 20) in Los Angeles.
The 49-year-old voice actor and executive producer was accompanied with by creator and executive producer Raphael Bob-Waksberg at the event.
Will Arnett and Raphael celebrated Bojack Horseman's very first Emmy nomination for Best Animated Program for the season six episode "Free Churro."
"In an episode back in season three he thinks he gets nominated for an Oscar and his publicist asks him, 'How do you feel,' and this triumphant music plays and he goes, 'I feel…. the same.' I think I'd be lying if I didn't say that resonated with me a little bit," Raphael Bob-Waksberg said of the nomination, recalling feeling disappointment because of the lack of nominations for Tuca & Bertie (which he serves as an executive producer on). "After that I remembered, 'Oh, I'm supposed to be happy. I just got nominated for an Emmy. This is good news.' Then I got excited."

There's more to life than what we've been told. Oh yes! Enlightenment is knowing that what we know is only a small fraction of the truth of our existence. I know now that the more I learn- the more I need to LEARN!
No one is perfect, we are all "works in progress". That is why I work on myself-improvement and encourage others to do the same. If this is my break-down, then let it begin so I can awaken renewed and transformed like the Butterfly!

It's the end of the month and the beginning of a new one, which means it's time to update our monthly budget/business plan.
There's always utilities that remain the same, so this should be pretty easy. Remember to add a new credit card payment or personal loan to the expenses and use the money saved or left over to pay those debts off as quickly as possible. Paying off interest accruing debts will help to save money. As the CEO of your household, increasing wealth and paying off debt should be the focus as you build your legacy, while passing on these good practices to your progeny for years to come. Master your finances, not the other way around.

Opportunity to rent Mayfair's first GP surgery of 'Dr Feelgood'
by LLP Reporter July 9, 2020
written by LLP Reporter 9th Jul 20 10:59 am
Once Mayfair's first GP surgery beloved by wealthy socialites and celebrities, the site of a historic doctor's surgery has been transformed into a spectacular 'mini-mansion' with luxury interior design, available to rent for £4,000 per week through Wetherell.
22 Woods Mews was once the site of Woods Mews Practice, a locally well-known doctor's surgery that operated from 1923 when it was the first practice to open in Mayfair, until it eventually closed in 2008. The Woods Mews Practice catered to Mayfair's wealthy socialites, and was nicknamed the 'Dr Feelgood Centre' in its heyday. Now, a 'mini-mansion' has been built as an exceptional family home that showcases luxury interior design by the Luxury Interiors London studio.
The Woods Mews Practice was the go-to surgery for Mayfair residents meeting their every medical need; from medical advice and prescriptions, to fillers, vitamin injections, colonic irrigation, anti-anxiety drugs and sleeping pills. The three storey property had a ground floor reception foyer, with consulting rooms on the ground and first floors, and a studio apartment on the top floor. The practice was well-placed for treating affluent overseas visitors staying at the nearby luxury hotels, as well as supporting local residents.
Before becoming a doctor's surgery there was a stable block on the site, which was first built in 1729 for the Earl of Shaftsbury and his mansion on neighbouring Upper Brook Street. The stables were converted to a residential mews property in 1907 by builder John Garlick. London's West End saw its first doctors with consulting rooms in the nineteenth century; originally there were just 20 doctors with consulting rooms in 1860, rising to 200 by 1914. Traditionally, the senior partner would own the house or mews, with the lower floors used for consultations and the doctor living in the apartment above.
The rise in stature of Harley Street in the 1990s led to the Woods Mews Practice closing in 2008, and the practice was granted planning permission to return to residential use. Following thoughtful redevelopment, the mini-mansion is now complete and available to rent for £4,000 per week, or £208,000 per year.
22 Woods Mews is a five bedroom home offering 3,098 sq. ft. of beautifully designed living space, available fully furnished 'turnkey' for a family to move into immediately. The glamorous interior design has been finished to the highest standard throughout, with details including hardwood floors and sliding pocket doors for entertaining. The house also offers unobstructed views over the hidden Green Street Gardens located opposite the quiet residential street.
On the ground floor is a large reception room with plush seating and bespoke cabinetry, as well as a bright reception room, with a private lift leading to all floors. The first floor provides three bedrooms, one of which has an adjoining walk-in dressing room, each dressed with a chic neutral palette.
The property's Principal suite occupies the entire second floor, with the bedroom overlooking the Green Street Gardens.
There is a walk-in dressing room with bespoke cabinetry and LED lighting, and a marble-clad bathroom with a sculptural free-standing bathtub and twin sinks.
The lower-ground floor provides an open-plan dining room to seat eight, leading to a sleek kitchen with integrated Miele appliances. There is a study with bespoke cabinetry, ideal for the post-Covid work environment with people working from home more regularly. There is a private home gym and accompanying bathroom, and a further bedroom. There is also access to a private terrace, and an integral garage offering secure parking.
Peter Wetherell, Chief Executive of Wetherell said, "22 Woods Mews has undergone an extensive transformation, from a famed doctor's surgery into a magnificent family home.
"The doctor's surgery was well-known in its heyday for being visited by wealthy socialites and celebrities, serving the local Mayfair community for 85-years. The new mini-mansion is finished to the highest quality throughout and is available fully turnkey so a resident could move in today and enjoy the luxurious lifestyle on offer.
"This home offers top-quality amenities including several beautiful reception rooms for relaxing, a bespoke home study, a home gym and a lift to all floors, all of which we believe will prove very popular with tenants."
Woods Mews is located on a residential street to the east of Hyde Park, just a three minute walk away. It is well located for enjoying Mayfair's restaurants and cafes, and within easy reach of boutique shops.
22 Woods Mews is available to rent for £4,000 per week and a video tour is available. For further information, please contact Wetherell on Tel: 020 7529 5588 or email: www.wetherell.co.uk.

Inditex donates 750,000 garments to refugees through UNHCR
By fashionabc - January 15, 2021
The retail value of the items is €13.5 million
Inditex is set to donate 750,000 garments from its various brands to the Spanish Committee of the Agency of the United Nations High Commision for Refugees (UNHCR) for distribution at seven refugee camps in Rwanda. These camps are sheltering around 149,000 displaced individuals, mainly from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi.
Thanks to this initiative, which the company is executing with a number of suppliers, 139,571 items were already dispatched in August; another 111,048 will be sent at the end of September and the remainder will be shipped by 31 January 2021, with Inditex assuming the cost of transporting the goods to Africa in full. The retail value of the items donated is €13.5 million.
Rwanda is one of the main recipients of the people displaced by the waves of instability experienced in recent years in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and also from Burundi. The former has displaced an estimated 5 million people between 2017 and 2019. The tension in Burundi has prompted hundreds and thousands of its people to flee to neighbouring countries. UNHCR is providing those people with assistance in Rwanda's refugee camps. The most urgent needs are for shelter, drinking and sanitation water, medical attention, clothing and food. Inditex's Executive Chairman, Pablo Isla, alluded to the company's long-standing commitment to refugee aid, a cornerstone of the Group's community investment model: "Over the last 20 years, we have been collaborating consistently with leading third-sector organisations on their programmes for refugees in many parts of Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe. All of us here at Inditex are tremendously motivated to continue this targeted effort going forward".

2012 St. John's Rafael Diaz - A Force In The Goal For The Johnnies - By Ben Roth
October 30, 2012 - It was October 22, 2011 and number twelve ranked St. Johns was hosting Big East foe DePaul. In the third minute of the game redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Rafael Diaz came sliding in to claim the ball in his box and dislocated his shoulder. This was a huge blow for Diaz who missed the rest of the season, while watching his team en route to a Big East Tourney title.
The 2010 Big East all rookie selection says of the injury that, "It upset me; especially being so late in the year it was very unfortunate."
If you know the character of Diaz you would know he would persevere and be healthy by the beginning of the year. "I rehabbed every day. The trainers and physical therapist made sure I would be one hundred percent.
Rafael progressively worked his way back playing in spring season games with his PDL team. Diaz said he needed to "come back from injury in top form." He stated, "That was my main goal; get back into the speed of the game and move past this injury." If you watched St. Johns this year, you would have never known "Raf," as his teammates call him, just came back from injury.
Diaz has had a phenomenal year, yet again, even improving on last year's career numbers. The athletic keeper currently has a 0.67 goals against average and has played a major part in the Johnnies eight shutouts including those against the likes of number two ranked Akron.
A year like this has come with lofty expectations for the reigning Big East Champs. Diaz indicates the team goals are, "winning; the Big East Tournament, and making a deep run into the NCAAs. It's something the current players haven't been able to do yet." He knows this task won't be easy and reiterates, "We have to take it one game at a time, return to Red Bull Arena and retain the championship."
Many may think these are big expectations for the Johnnies, but they are capable of reaching their goals. Diaz says they realized this moment early in the season at the Gamecock Classic. "The results set the stage for the rest of season. It was a team effort and we grinded it out."
The Red Storm also had a scoreless tie against highly regarded Akron. The Johnnies traveled to Akron in search of a victory which may have seemed to some to be an insurmountable task. The Zips are led by a high-flying offense and to receive a result, St. Johns would have to be on the top of their game. They did just that, as Akron only attempted nine shots while Diaz won the KFC player of the match. Diaz played out of his mind, making four saves and earning recognition. "It was a great team defending effort and we stayed organized." Many would've been satisfied about the result, but Diaz says, "We thought we could've won"
Rafael has a winning mentality that started long before he came to St. Johns. He was a two-time NSCAA High School All American along with being named the New Jersey Gatorade Player of the Year as a senior. Diaz also played for local academy club PDA based out of New Jersey. Diaz gives much credit to them, "It's a great club and I had a great coach in John Murphy. You get to play at the highest level and it translates to the college game." Diaz was in the national spotlight even before St. Johns as he made the national championship game on national television. His team was led by the shot-stopper himself along with current NCAA superstars, Connecticut's Jossimar Sanchez and Notre Dame's Ryan Finley.
From a young age Diaz was a superstar whether he knew it or not. The modest goalkeeper has continuously improved since his freshman year. Diaz evaluates himself by saying, "I've matured immensely. I've learned to keep my head down and keep working. If I give up a goal, I shouldn't get down on myself, stay composed and continue on."
Much of this success has to do with Coach Dave Masur. Diaz talked strongly about his choice to come to St. Johns and how Masur affected his decision to go there. "He (Masur) helped me out a lot. He's intense and focuses on specific parts of my game." On his decision to come to St. Johns, Diaz says, "It's a great program with a lot of history. When I was recruited they were ranked number one in the country and Masur had a great idea for my future there and laid it out for me."
Diaz made the correct decision as he already has a Big East ring which he claims is his biggest moment as a member of the Johnnies. "Although I wasn't playing it was still a great moment. It was disappointing being on the sideline since I put in all the effort in training, watching game film, but the win still gives me chills."
Another thing that gets to Diaz is walking onto the field at Belson Stadium. Belson is St. John's soccer specific stadium, which remains a fortress that consistently gets crowds into the thousands. Diaz says the experience is "awesome." He added, "It really gets you ready to play and the crowd gets behind us. You feel different when you're playing there."
Playing at home really motivates the Johnnies as they have five shutouts already at home. The other thing that helps the Red Storm secure shutouts is there impeccable defense. Year in and year out they always have a stellar defense. Diaz gives his teammates much praise in helping him out, "We have a good backline and everyone defends. It's a team effort and everyone's held accountable."
When asked if he thought about his career after college Diaz said, "Of course, I think everyone that comes to St. Johns has ambitions to play professionally, but it's still too early." Along with that comment comes his modesty. Raf acknowledges his parents, and especially grandmother, for always being there for him.
Rafael believes in St. Johns and thinks they can go far this year. The Red Storm surely have the talent to make a run into the NCAAs, and with Diaz in net anything is possible.

From its first issue in April, 1970, the National Lampoon blazed like a comet, defining comedy as we know it today. To create Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead, former Lampoon illustrator Rick Meyerowitz selected the funniest material from the magazine and sought out the survivors of its first electrifying decade to gather their most revealing and outrageous stories. The result is a mind-boggling tour through the early days of an institution whose alumni left their fingerprints all over popular culture: Animal House, Caddyshack, Saturday Night Live, Ghostbusters, SCTV, Spinal Tap, In Living Color, Ren & Stimpy, The Simpsons—even Sesame Street counts a few Lampooners among its ranks. Long before there was The Onion and Comedy Central news shows, there was the National Lampoon, setting the bar in comedy impossibly high!

Election Slate June 2018
This is a primary election, meaning for the races I've marked with an asterisk below we're choosing candidates to decide between in November. California has an open primary, meaning we choose among all the options (regardless of party affiliation) and the top two go to the November ballot. Primary elections can seem less important, but they are actually when we have the greatest opportunity to create political change.
Governor:* Gavin Newsom
He's been working well with Jerry Brown and is ideally positioned to carry on that work. The Governor of California is an internationally significant role—5th largest economy in the world—and Newsom can take the heat.
Lieutenant Governor*: Jeff Bleich
This role's involvement in state environmental issues puts Bleich in front for me. Kounalakis and Hernandez both have too much oil money in their campaign coffers to make me want them in that seat on the California Coastal Commission. Also, Bleich has served on the board of trustees of California State University, including a year as chairman, so he's ready for the seat on the University of California Board of Regents.
Secretary of State*: Alex Padilla
Easy choice here. Glad to have him keep fighting to protect our voting rights.
Controller*: Betty T. Yee
Another easy one. Delighted to have her long experience with state financial matters continuing to serve us.
Treasurer*: Fiona Ma
Sound financial background and has a seriously impressive endorsement list.
Attorney General*: Xavier Becerra
Both current Attorney General Xavier Becerra and outgoing Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones would be good in this position. Becerra has stepped in well since being appointed by Governor Brown in January when Kamala Harris went to the U.S. Senate. Jones did a great job protecting consumer interests without driving insurance companies out of the California market as Insurance Commissioner, and has more experience running a state agency. Given the amount of legal challenges to come while maintaining California values and policies against the Trump/Pence administration, I'm going to stick with the jockey currently doing fine on the horse.
Insurance Commissioner*: Ricardo Lara
His opponent Steve Poizner's got the experience, but Poizner's anti-immigrant stance in his 2010 campaign (back when he was a Republican) takes him off the list. Lara's political experience gives him the edge over Asif Mahmood.
Board of Equalization Member, District 2*: Malia Cohen
Whether California's Board of Equalization, the only elected tax board in the country, should exist at all is definitely a question. Certainly we need more protections against money flowing as campaign contributions to someone who may make a judicial decision for the donor. But while it exists we need good people elected to it. Cohen's goal for the position is to conduct any remaining business for the BoE as transparently as possible, while rebuilding relationships between remaining staff and county assessors. She can be very beneficial in transitioning the BoE to an improved role.
U.S. Senate*: Dianne Feinstein
With a different administration in Washington, D.C., and another candidate that offset the losses of Feinstein's experience and Senate rank, I might consider an alternative, but we are fighting for people's lives against Trump/Pence and we need to keep her power working for us. To my relief, Feinstein has moved left on some issues and has been a strong force for good in the Senate over the past year, so I'm not holding my nose here.
U.S. Representative, District 12*: Nancy Pelosi
Again, we need this experienced, powerful woman continuing to fight for us at the national level. If you don't want to vote for Pelosi—and I admit she has significant issues particularly around privacy protections and internet freedom—my next choice would be Shahid Buttar. (I continue to oppose Kevin de León because of his lack of action against his former housemate, sexual harasser Tony Mendoza.)
One More State Office
State Assembly Member, District 17*: David Chiu
Love this guy and always delighted to vote for him. He works hard and smart.
Judge of the Superior Court, Office #4: Andrew Y.S. Cheng
Judge of the Superior Court, Office #7: Curtis Karnow
Judge of the Superior Court, Office #9: Cynthia Ming-Mei Lee
Judge of the Superior Court, Office #11: Jeffrey S. Ross
We need to support our existing judges against this bizarre power grab by the public defender's office. When as eclectic a group as Jerry Brown, Dianne Feinstein, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, London Breed, Jane Kim, Aaron Peskin, Angela Alioto, Scott Weiner, David Chiu, Dennis Herrera, all 50 SF Superior Court Judges, the SF Police Officers Association, the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club, the SF Republican Party, and Sheriff Vicki Hennessy all agree on an issue (endorsing these four) you know something weird is going on with the other side.
Superintendent of Public Instruction*: Tony K. Thurmond
Good endorsements and solid experience.
Mayor: London Breed (first choice), Mark Leno (second choice), (no third choice)
You can read my whole statement on why I support London Breed for Mayor of San Francisco (and why Mark Leno's my second choice and I do not support Jane Kim), but the short version is:
London Breed is rational and resourceful in her approach to civic leadership. A very capable administrator, she comes from local experience of achieving progress in a complex, rapidly-changing economic and climate situation. All our options have tradeoffs and she weighs them well. This has been particularly visible in her work on housing, which is the most pressing issue in San Francisco. Breed has been great as Supervisor for my District, and an excellent, level-headed President of the Board of Supervisors. She governed well as Acting Mayor after Ed Lee's sudden death, and will be an excellent mayor.
State Propositions
68: Yes
Authorizes Bonds Funding Parks, Natural Resources Protection, Climate Adaptation, Water Quality and Supply, and Flood Protection
California should apply its economic strength to protect and strengthen its resources, particularly its water resources. This is supported by a very wide range of groups from the Nature Conservancy to the American Lung Association in California to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. As the Sacramento Bee put it, it's a reasonable ask.
It's opposed by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, the Republican party, and others who think bond debt is a terrible thing.
Requires That Certain New Transportation Revenues Be Used for Transportation Purposes
This locks funds already approved into use on transportation. Basically a tidying up proposition. It seems to just be opposed by a few legislators (who perhaps don't want to be thus locked into where those funds go) or by those who wish that the gas tax generating the funds didn't exist.
70: No
Requires Legislative Supermajority Vote Approving Use of Cap-And-Trade Reserve Fund
This is a Republican and oil-industry-backed attempt to make it harder for this already established fund to be spent for its legislated purpose—reducing climate pollution. Some Republicans backing this proposition are particularly hoping to stall high-speed rail projects.
Sets Effective Date for Ballot Measures
This is a super smart change to explicitly rule that measures become effective five days after the Secretary of State certifies the election results. As it is now, it could be argued that they take effect the day after the election, but we have too many ballots by mail and provisional ballots to be certain of all election results that night. Rather than risk having to implement and then roll something back when an election result wasn't what was predicted, this eliminates the problem.
Permits Legislature to Exclude Newly Constructed Rain-Capture Systems from Property-Tax Reassessment Requirement
This is a great change to incentivize property owners to add these rainwater gathering systems to their buildings, giving them the same tax protections as solar panels, fire sprinklers, disabled access and other improvements. Because it removes a tax penalty it requires voter approval.
Regional Measure
3: Yes
We need these infrastructure improvements to address the gap between Bay Area transit and highway needs and our current reality, let alone the demands on these systems from the tens of thousands of new residents expected to come to the area in the next twenty years. This measure has broad support across a variety of interested organizations and elected officials, and is primarily opposed by regularly-appearing Sample Ballot arguments character Dr. Terence Faulkner and some guy who owns a stamp and coin company.
(One neat thing about the sample ballot this time is the Bay Area Traffic Relief Plan this measure would approve is included beginning on page 54. This plan will do a LOT.)
City and County Propositions:
Public Utilities Revenue Bonds
This is a good bond plan to provide for continuing upgrades to the way San Francisco gets its power. It allows us to take advantage of technological advances, ensure we're using cleaner sources and reducing our carbon emissions, and protect against damage to these systems from earthquakes or other disasters. This is unsurprisingly opposed by the Libertarians who just don't like us to all pitch in and buy ourselves nice things like sustainability together. It is also opposed by Angela Alioto and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce who think it gives the PUC too much power, even though all projects would also require approval by the mayor and a supermajority of the Board of Supervisors.
B: Yes
Prohibiting Appointed Commissioners from Running for Office
Apparently this has been the unofficial ethical rule for 40 years, since Mayor Moscone's administration, and this codifies it. The point of it is to keep people who are seeking endorsements in a campaign from conflict of interest when those potential endorsers appear before their commission. The only opposition statements in the sample ballot were from our ol' pal Dr. Terence Faulkner, though YIMBY Action opposes on the tenuous grounds that having to give up their commission position when running for office would deter commissioners from ever running and thus lower the quality of candidates.
C: No
Additional Tax on Commercial Rents Mostly to Fund Child Care and Education
My heart does not bleed for the Building Owners & Managers Association of San Francisco, nor for Shorenstein Realty Services, nor the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, all of which are providing funding in opposition to this measure. And of course the Libertarians and Republicans hate it because it is spending money on collective goods.
However there is one reason you would want to vote 'No' on C: the same tax is in question for Measures C and D, so only the one with the most votes would get funded, assuming both win. As important as child care and education is, housing is an even more vital issue in San Francisco. To ensure Measure D's success, I recommend a 'No' on C.
D: Yes
Additional Tax on Commercial Rents Mostly to Fund Housing and Homelessness Services
Housing affordability is the critical issue in San Francisco. This will help. It imposes an additional 1.7% tax on some of those benefitting most from SF's current boom times and uses the funds to help those hardest hit right now. There are specific cut outs so it doesn't apply to leases to businesses doing PDR (production, distribution, repair), retail goods and services direct to consumers, arts/entertainment, or certain non-profit organizations. 45% of revenue goes to housing homeless, 35% to acquiring or rehabilitating rent-controlled apartments to protect from displacement and to create permanently affordable homes for middle-income households; 10% similarly for SRO (single-room occupancy) and extremely low and very low income people; 10% for permanent rent subsidies to extremely low income seniors in income-restricted developments. The measure has wide support including endorsement from YIMBY Action. This is opposed by an intense supporter of Measure C and by Angela Alioto because she doesn't want to "throw money at various pieces of the problem".
E: Yes
Prohibiting Tobacco Retailers from Selling Flavored Tobacco Products
Candy-flavored tobacco and smoking products are bad for public health, and that costs us all. Even if you don't care about kids getting addicted early with these products, vote no to keep us all from bearing the cost of another generation's cancer care. When you get yet another glossy mailer opposing this measure with "funding from R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company" in the disclosure box, you know they've got a big corporate profit incentive to work against our public health. This measure is opposed also by retailers who say they vigorously enforce the existing age 21 sales limit, but come on; does anyone remember high school? The smoker kids could always score smokes when they wanted them. Oh and the Libertarians are against it because it's gonna be like the War on Drugs all over again!! Only about flavored vape smoke, I guess.
F: Yes
City-Funded Legal Representation for Residential Tenants in Eviction Lawsuits
The San Francisco Apartment Association in their big argument against this say only 1,657 of 172,000 rent-controlled apartment tenants faced eviction in 2017-2018. When we look at the costs of homelessness, that's a whole lot of households potentially at risk of displacement because they lacked the resources to fight an unjust eviction. (Yes, some evictions will be reasonable, but we know not all.) The supporters of this measure counter that its been 40,000 tenants facing eviction in five years and over two-thirds of them were without legal representation. From years of observation, I trust the housing advocates and community organizations in San Francisco more than the landlords. In addition to that from big landlords, this measure is also opposed by the Republicans.
Note that there is a version of this legislation already in progress with the Board of Supervisors, so a lot of the ground work has already been done (going back to work done by then-Supervisor David Chiu) and implementing it should go pretty smoothly.
G: Yes
Parcel Tax for San Francisco Unified School District
With property values rising in San Francisco, a parcel tax is a super smart way to raise revenue for increasing teacher salaries and benefits, adding staffing, and other improvements to education resources. The measure exempts parcels which are the primary residence of a senior citizen owner. We need to be able to attract and retain educators, and they deserve a wage that gives them a fighting chance of living near their work. This is opposed by the Libertarians because spending money bad.
H: No
Policy for the Use of Tasers by San Francisco Police Officers
This is not a vote on the use of Tasers, that's already been going through a very thoughtful year-long process. This is an attempt by the Police Officers Association to set policy for Tasers which subsequently can't be altered by the Police Commission or the Police Department. The POA shouldn't be permitted to overrule the police chief, current and former police commissioners, and the San Francisco district attorney. Specifically, they shouldn't be permitted to eliminate the requirement that police use de-escalation techniques before Tasers are used on people. As YIMBY Action notes, "Police Chief Bill Scott himself called it the 'antithesis' of community-oriented policing as recommended by the Department of Justice under President Barack Obama."
This measure is very widely opposed, both within law enforcement and among elected officials, and within the communities that keep a critical eye on law enforcement such as the ACLU and homeless and mental health advocates.
I: No
Relocation of Professional Sports Teams
This is a bizarre measure apparently attempting to stop the Warriors move to SF because it would be rude to Oakland to steal them. Dude, that ship has sailed. Vote No on this waste of ballot space and our collective mental energies.
As usual the Sample Ballot booklet has tons of other useful info tucked in between things. A few highlights:

"I'll be back."
US movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger wrote his famous line on the museum guestbook after he visited the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an on Dec 5.
Schwarzenegger, who had arrived the evening before, was making his fifth visit to China. On Dec 5, he attended a culture forum in Xi'an, one of the most famous Chinese historical cities.
The former California governor said he has always been interested in Chinese culture and had been looking forward a long time to seeing the Terracotta Warriors.
Schwarzenegger said seeing the Terracotta Warriors was a moving experience because it is rare to see such a well-preserved piece of history.
"Thank you for showing us the 8th Wonder of the World. I'll be back," he wrote on the guestbook of the Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Museum, where the Terracotta Warriors are located.
After the visit to the historic site, Schwarzenegger appeared on a program of Shaanxi Satellite Television, in which he talked to Zhang Jizhong, a Chinese director of kungfu movies and TV series, about culture in China and the United States.
The 66-year-old native of Austria has been well-known by Chinese audiences for decades, with a string of successful films such as The Terminator, Total Recall and True Lies. He was the governor of California from 2003 to 2011.
