 PCBC 2013 | June 5-6 | San Diego Convention Center - Home buying has changed in significant ways because of the internet and social media and the industry is trying to keep up with the ever-changing times.

:D :D :D We are having the siding guys come next week as a matter of fact! I get to pick out a new color for my house which would be a lot more exciting if I wasn't limited by the color of our brick. We have this weird (and yet totally appropriate for me) vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips looking brick. You've probably never seen brick like that before - I never have. And our current (tired looking) siding might be the color of melted chocolate ice cream with maybe a hint of mauve. Ooogly! So I'm thinking of going with the whole vanilla ice cream thing and having the siding painted a vanilla color instead of a brown. And then having the trim painted a deep rich dark bittersweet chocolate color. I'm hoping the vanilla color might help keep the house a bit cooler in the hot Texas summers and dark chocolate is supposed to be good for your heart right? So maybe in a Feng shui way those colors would be a good idea! :D If I wasn't limited by my brick color (or my spouse) to boring earth tones I'd p ...

(a PSA - Visual Argument Assignment for the course Writing II: Rhetoric Composing)   Pollution. The most dangerous known today is one that cannot be seen, heard, or felt. This we call Electro-Magnetic Pollution. It’s the presence of Electro-magnetic radiations (EMRs) which emitted from the satellites to our devices and vice versa.   Children using mobile phones are exposed to this silent-killer, with access to network-activated phones or wireless-connected devices. Can you see the risk that these children are facing? Why the risk is high for children? A child’s brain is not fully developed until the age of 25. They’re skull is thinner compared to adults, and according to research, a mobile’s radiation goes deeper to 5 inches into a child’s brain, while about 2 inches into an adult’s.   The WHO-Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer published that this EMR “may possibly” have an adverse effect on human’s health, and thus added this to the long list of carcinogenic ...

ASCB is leading a “scholarly insurrection,” with the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment, DORA for short, to reduce the impact of journal impact factors (JIF) on scientific assessment. Our allies include AAAS, HHMI, EMBO, and numerous other societies, institutions, and individuals. JIF were created for buying library subscriptions, but they have been misused as an all-purpose metric to *** the quality of science. This is deeply flawed, so the coalition wants to steer the scientific community back to a focus on the content of papers, not the impact factor of the journal where they happen to be published. Please help us spread the word about DORA: We hope you will sign the declaration, and encourage all your scientific colleagues to do so as well. We started with 155 individual and 78 institutional signers. In three business days, the numbers have grown to over 800 and over 100, respectively.

Rex left to room to make coffee for the day and by the time he got back the lights had flickered to full strength. He turned on his computer and plopped down in the chair at his desk. He felt for the familiar duct tape on the back of his chair holding it together. “One more day in paradise...” Rex muttered. He had a habit of talking to himself when no one was around. He was alone most of the time at work. Not that he minded. Even when customers would visit he only usually saw them for a minute. The clientele where he worked, The Adult Male Revue, was eccentric to say the least. This being San Francisco and all, he had seen things that he could never unsee. All manner of debauchery had taken place within the walls of this building. He just kind of dealt with it and tried to make it through his day.

Record: 11-5, second, NFC West Points scored/allowed: 426/344 Coach: John Robinson Summary: The last playoff appearance of the ‘80s was also the last postseason berth for the franchise until the Greatest Show on Turf dominated the league 10 years later. The Rams posted five victories out of the gate, including a 13-12 win over the eventual division champs in San Francisco. A four-game slump and a four-game streak followed. The Niners eked out a 30-27 win in the regular-season rematch. Los Angeles took out Philadelphia 21-7 in the wild card round, then knocked off next year’s champs 19-13 in OT in the Meadowlands. However, it was the previous year’s champs who sounded the death knell for the Rams in a devastating 30-3 NFC title bout. The 426 points this team scored — second in the league behind San Fran — gives you an indication of this offense’s power.  Offense: 43  Offensive line: 21. A great start where it all starts. Hard to beat a pair of 5’s — guard Tom Newberry and tackle Jackie S ...

Campaign to Redefine Jihad Bassam Darwich 5/3/2013     Arabic and western news agencies are reporting a new campaign by U.S. Muslim activists to redefine the word “jihad,” which, they say, “has been distorted at the hands of radical Islamists and groups hostile to Islam.”   The campaign aims to “educate the world” in the true sense of the word, says CNN, in a story that also quotes Nihad Awad, director of the Council on American Muslims. According to Awad, the word jihad means “resistance for a noble cause!”   The campaign will use 25 buses departing from Chicago and going perhaps as far as San Francisco, says Awad.   At face value, this campaign might be taken as a hopeful step toward moderating Muslim extremism. Americans, as well as people of good will around the world, would applaud such an effort, of course.  But closer examination of the venue and the words reveals something less than a genuine effort toward peaceful relations with non-Muslims. Had they really been sincere, the ...

for your information. GAP Inc. global headquarters, 2 Folsom St, San Francisco (by Embarcadero BART) Since 2005, more than 1,800 Bangladeshi garment workers have been killed in fires and building collapses while sewing clothing for companies like Gap, JC Penney and Walmart. Many of these deaths could have been prevented, but companies are refusing to pay 10 cents more per garment for factory building repairs. A dozen companies, including H&M and Tommy Hilfiger, have now signed onto a binding factory safety agreement with worker representation. It's time for GAP to join with them, before the next deadly disaster. Join us in a protest in front of GAP's shareholder meeting - no more death traps! Sponsors of the protest include Alliance of South Asians Taking Action (ASATA), Friends of South Asia, Global Exchange, International Labor Rights Forum, San Francisco Jobs with Justice, San Jose Peace & Justice Center, and United Students Against Sweatshops.

U.S. stock futures pointed to a steady open on Thursday, despite comments by a regional Federal Reserve chairman saying that the U.S. central bank may taper its asset buying program as soon as this summer, as markets eyed the release of U.S. data later in the day.

San Francisco: An Australian start-up is fighting for the financial independence of university graduates in the...

San Francisco, CaliforniaSan Francisco was the first great immigrant city of the American West, receiving people from around the world during the California gold rush of 1848–49. In 2000, its metropolitan population of 7,039,362 was one of the most culturally diverse in the United States. About 30 percent of its population was Asian and 14 percent Hispanic (see Hispanic and related terms). The largest non-English ethnic groups of the greater metropolitan area (including Oakland and San Jose) were Mexican (988,841), Irish (649,758), Chinese (521,645), Italian (422,963), Filipino (382,224), Vietnamese (156,832), and Asian Indian (155,121). Established by Spain as the Mission of Saint Francis of Assisi in 1776, the settlement remained small until Mexico gained its independence from Spain in 1821 and a number of Californians decided to settle the distant territory more than 2,300 miles from the capital of Mexico City, a village then named Yerba Buena. England, Russia, and the United States all sought contro ...

California gold rushThe discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill in the Sacramento Valley of California in January 1848 enticed thousands of immigrants from around the world. Between 1848 and the granting of statehood in 1850 more than 90,000 people migrated to California, most from within the United States, but large numbers also from Mexico, Chile, Australia, and others from many regions of Europe. Almost all arrived through the port of San Francisco, turning a sleepy village into a city of 25,000 in less than two years. Between 1850 and 1852, more than 20,000 people entered California, almost all men. By 1852, the Californian population had risen to more than 250,000. Among the immigrants were large numbers of Chinese workers from the impoverished and flood-ravaged province of Guangdong (Canton), who were especially responsive to the attractions of Gam Saan (Gold Mountain), as California was called in China. In the early years, 70 percent of Chinese immigrants were miners, though they moved into railroad c ...

      House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the American city of Chicago in the early 1980s. It was initially popularized circa 1984 in Chicago, but beginning in 1985, it fanned out to other major cities such as Detroit, Toronto, New York City, San Francisco, Boston, Montreal, Manchester, Miami, London and Paris. It then began to influence popular music in Europe, with songs such as House Nation by House Master Boyz and the Rude Boy Of House (1987) and Doctorin' The House by Coldcut(1988) in the pop charts. Since the early to mid-1990s, house music has been infused in mainstream pop and dance music worldwide. Early house music was generally dance-based music characterized by repetitive 4/4beats, rhythms mainly provided by drum machines, off-beat hi-hat cymbals, and synthesized basslines. While house displayed several characteristics similar to discomusic, it was more electronic and minimalistic and the repetitive rhythm of house was more important than the song itse ...

The author, Dr. Robert Lustig, is a medical doctor and the Director of the University of California San Francisco Weight Assessment For Teen And Child Health Program.  You may remember him from his Youtube video, “Sugar: The Bitter Truth”, which was viewed over 3 million times.   Introduction The basic premise of Fat Chance is that a calorie is not always a calorie.  In other words, there are hormonal consequences to the foods we eat that tend to promote fat storage or fat burning.  The book cites our increased sugar consumption as the driving force behind the obesity epidemic.  The book focuses a lot on the hormonal consequences of our food, how these hormones influence our health, ways to change our diet to improve our health, as well as a section on public health policy solutions to the obesity epidemic.  The book was extremely well written and well referenced.  I really enjoyed reading it and learned a lot.   Five Things I Really Liked About Fat Chanc . ...

MAY 16, 2013 4:00 AM The IRS’s Curious Immunity It’s worse than the PATRIOT Act. By Charles C. W. Cooke Cast your minds back to the great PATRIOT Act freakout of 2001, during which Americans were reminded hourly that “dissent is the highest form of patriotism” and Benjamin Franklin’s famous line about liberty and safety seemed to have been emblazoned onto every last protest sign. Back then, government overreach was distinctly uncouth. “If the events of September 11, 2001, have proven anything,” comedian Jon Stewart lamented, “it’s that the terrorists can attack us, but they can’t take away what makes us American — our freedom, our liberty, our civil rights.” He paused: “Only Attorney General John Ashcroft can do that.” Ashcroft and the PATRIOT Act were widely disparaged by critics who warned of an imminent descent into tyranny. But one detail in particular was singled out for discussion: “Library patrons in Santa Cruz are seeing a new type of sign these days: a warning that r ...

Two people riding on a train from New York to San Francisco play a game of ping-pong in the sport compartment of the train. Lets say, the train moves at 100 km per hour (= 27.8 m/s) and the two players hit the ball at a speed of two meters per second. In the reference frame of the players, the ball moves back and forth at this particular speed. For a stationary observer standing beside the railroad, however, things look quite different. In his reference frame the ball moves at 29.8 m/s when it is played forward in the direction where the train is heading, while it moves at 25.8 m/s in the same direction when it is played backwards. Thus he doesn't see the ball moving backward at all, but always moving towards San Francisco. For an observer in outer space, things look again totally different because of the Earth's rotation, which is opposite to the train's movement; therefore the outer space observer always sees the ball moving East

In fact it was Tennessee Williams who said it, but why quibble? It's true. Proud to be from New York. Proud to live in San Francisco. And any city that has as much soul and celebrates Carnaval with as much flair as New Orleans (just like another hometown of mine, Salvador de Bahia) may join that rarefied group of American cities that are true cities.
