Smart Pad w/Cloud Sync full review
There are hundreds of calendar and task management apps available for the iPad. Some are very sophisticated, assuming not only a familiarity with but an enthusiasm for Getting Things Done. Others, like Apple's built-in Calendar app, provide more traditional daily, weekly, and monthly views of events, which you can enter as individual or recurring functions. And some are more oriented toward task completion, with a focus on checklists.
Smart Pad 2.0, an iPad-only app from Left Coast Logic, combines the best of these approaches, allowing users to easily switch between day and month views, or side-by-side views of a day's schedule along with a list of tasks, notes, projects, or a history of completed tasks. A slider at the bottom of the screen enables you to move easily between days of the month and months of the year, while tabs at the top of the screen facilitate navigation between other views.
The app accommodates custom, colour-coded calendars (work, home, school, and so on). You enter a new task or event by tapping a plus sign (+) at the bottom-right corner of the screen, or by tapping on the calendar directly; a box then appears, prompting you to enter the title and location of a task or event, its duration, start time, and due date, notes, and pop-up reminders.
The app enables you to time tasks, as well.
The Month view in Smart Pad provides an excellent overview of your schedule while enabling you to enter event or task information in a detailed fashion. The slider at the bottom of the screen allows you to move easily between months.

They may be the symbol of our nation, but bald eagles are scavengers.
It is that characteristic – specifically of finding carrion on the water – that has led to the death of at least 21 bald eagles and impacted many more across northern Utah.
State wildlife officials announced Tuesday morning that the National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, Wis. confirmed West Nile virus is the cause of the eagle deaths and that six more are currently being treated in wildlife rehabilitation centers.
West Nile virus was suspected when sick and dead eagles started to show up in early December, but wildlife officials were reluctant to identify the mosquito-born virus as the culprit because it has never been reported in December.
"This is a major development. This is not typically a time we would expect to see West Nile virus. We monitor West Nile every year, but during mosquito season. This is an unusual event," said Leslie McFarlane, wildlife disease specialist for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR). "It is concerning and something we will have to watch for going into the future."
As the number of eagle deaths grew, the investigation turned to the ice-free waters of the Great Salt Lake. Eared grebes, a species of migratory waterfowl found in western North America, gather on the lake in massive numbers, approximately 2 million, each fall and linger until their food sources diminish before continuing south.
It is common for large numbers of the grebes to die each fall, usually from avian cholera. McFarlane said it appears that up to 20,000 grebes died this year and the bald eagles quickly honed in on the easy meal.
"We became more suspicious when the eagles were showing up pretty much centered around the Great Salt Lake," McFarlane said. "We are not sure West Nile is killing the grebes, but they are definitely a carrier of it."
If it ends up that the eared grebes died from West Nile virus it would mark a first time deaths have recorded in that species. The National Wildlife Health Center is performing tests on the grebes.
"People become infected with West Nile virus after being bitten by a mosquito that carries the virus," said JoDee Baker, epidemiologist with the Utah Department of Health in a release. "Although there are other very rare ways you can get the virus, such as receiving contaminated blood or organs from an infected person, mosquitoes are, by far, the most common method of transmission. Since the mosquitoes that transmit West Nile virus aren't active in the winter, there's no risk to the public's health."
McFarlane said an estimated 10,000 grebes remain on the Great Salt Lake, but are likely close to flying south.
"As long as we have live grebes that are sick out there and infected dead birds that eagles will eat we may continue to lose bald eagles," she said.
Efforts to clear the Great Salt Lake of the dead grebes would be expensive and a tremendous undertaking. Wildlife biologists believe the West Nile virus does not remain in the carcasses of dead animals very long.
"It doesn't do well in the environment without a host," McFarlane said.
DaLyn Erickson with the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah in Ogden has treated nine of the bald eagles. Five of them died or had to be euthanized. All were suffering from head tremors, lower body paralysis and an inability to digest food.
Erickson started treating four eagles in her care with anti-inflammatories last week and it appears to be working.
While she is glad to finally have a name for what is impacting the eagles, Erickson is not happy with the prognosis.
"I wish there was a cure for West Nile, but there is not," she said. "We are doing all we can to help them, but it is basically up to the bird's immune system if they can fight it off. All we can do is help them with that fight."
Three of the birds being treated at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah are now able to stand and are eating. A juvenile male that arrived at the center in a more compromised state is not faring as well, but has shown signs of improvement.
"West Nile does damage to the brain, the heart and other organs," Erickson said. "We need to see if that damage is permanent or if it will heal in each individual case."

The Movie:
Alternately known as The Treasure Of The Living Dead, Jess Franco's 1982 film Oasis Of The Zombies isn't likely to ever top anyone's list of greatest zombie movies ever made but if you enjoy whatever it is that Franco brings to his filmography that makes his pictures so enigmatic, odds are pretty good you'll enjoy this low budget quickie he did for Eurocine.
When the film begins, two young women in tight tops and short shorts get out of their jeep and wander through an oasis in the middle of a desert. They talk to one another about the pros and cons of having arrived here - one girl things it's great, a nice romantic spot, the other complains that she should have stayed back at the hotel. As the camera pans around we see remnants of Nazi activity - pieces of vehicles with World War II era German insignias on them, and a skull or two. Soon enough, the hands of a corpse reach through the ground and grab one of the girls' legs... and we're off.
We never see those girls again. Instead the film then introduces us to a man named Kurt (Henri Lambert) who meets up with a different man, the sole survivor of a Nazi raid that killed scores of soldiers at a desert Oasis. It turns out that he was the only survivor and he alone knows of the gold that the Nazi's were carrying during this battle. When he tells Kurt about this, he's promptly rewarded with a syringe full of something (we can assume it's poison) jabbed into him and he dies. Cut to Robert (Manuel Gelin), the son of the man who was killed. He receives a letter informing him that his father has died and which requests he come to Africa to settle some issues. So off he and a few friends go, and before you know it they're driving around the desert in a jeep. They eventually meet up with a sheik who has a connection to Robert's past and who warns he and his friends that the locals believe the oasis to be cursed. Robert wants to finish what his father had started, however, and figures getting his hands on that lost Nazi gold would be a good idea. As it turns out, the sheik is no fool - when Robert and his crew start messing around in that oasis, the dead do come back to life and wreck havoc on all involved.
Oasis Of The Zombies is pretty slow. It starts off well enough - pretty ladies in an exotic location attacked by the undead - but then it gets into the whole World War II flashback scene in which Franco uses a lot of stock footage from a seventies Italian war film called I Giardini Del Diavolo which doesn't even come close to matching the newly shot footage intended for use in the film. The performances are pretty vapid and delivered by a fairly sleepy cast, and the effects are not particularly good even if some of the zombies do look kind of cool. It's not well edited, it suffers from massive logic gaps, and there are subplots thrown into the movie that go nowhere and seemingly serve no purpose whatsoever. There's no character development nor is there any logical reason offered for why the dead Nazis turned into zombies in the first place.
Yet despite the film's many flaws (and there are many), it offers... something. There's atmosphere here and some strange tension, particularly in the last twenty minutes or so. Granted, it doesn't always make sense and the film is prone to throwing in close up shots of a spider (is this supposed to be foreshadowing or symbolic of something? No one really knows!) without care for rhyme or reason. Plenty of people have called the film boring and slow and that's fair - it hardly moves quickly. Like so many of Franco's other movies, however there's something hypnotic about it. The score is almost always out of place and often very inappropriate, but it gives all of this a very otherworldly feel. There isn't much in the way or gore here nor is the movie ever really scary but it's watchable in a bizarre sort of way. Some nice locations and occasional bursts of inspired cinematography help make this poorly made film rather compelling but most of what works here is random atmosphere. Franco has made plenty of better films than this, and it definitely ranks towards the bottom of the eighties European zombie movie barrel but if you're a Franco fan, you'll probably want this anyway.
Oasis Of The Zombies arrives on Blu-ray in an AVC encoded 1.66.1 transfer in 1080p high definition. Most Blu-ray enabled Eurocult fans that have seen previous transfers in the Redemption/Kino line will be able to tell you that they don't do any sort of restoration on the elements they have for these titles. Mild to moderate print damage in the form of horizontal and vertical scratches and specks is present throughout and there are some spots where the colors fade a bit - the stock footage inserts definitely look worse than the footage shot specifically for the feature. Some clean up would have probably made a certain segment of the public pretty happy, and that's understandable - but with that said, there is significantly more detail present here than on the past DVD release and a fair bit more depth and texture as well, though you have to keep in mind that as this is a Franco film it is not at all uncommon for some scenes to be in very soft focus or occasionally completely out of focus. As far as the authoring goes, there are no problems with compression artifacts or edge enhancement nor is there even a hint of noise reduction anywhere to be seen. The end result is something very much akin to watching a slightly tattered print play in a theater and it's not without its charm in that regard, but yeah, the picture here isn't pristine or super colorful. Some will appreciate this, some will take issue with it.
Audio options provided on the disc in English and French language LPCM Mono tracks with subtitles provided in English only. It's interesting to note that the dialogue is slightly different between the two mixes, but not enough to really alter the movie very much. The audio fares a bit better than the audio does, though there is some mild hiss here and there. The levels are generally balanced well and the score doesn't sound bad. Dialogue was easy enough to follow and while it's a bit flat and occasionally hollow sounding that's likely got more to do with the original elements than anything else.
Extras? The disc includes trailers for the feature as well as for Zombie Lake, Exorcism and Female Vampire as well as static menus and chapter selection.
It's hard to give Oasis Of The Zombies a blanket recommendation as it's a pretty horrible movie but if you like languidly paced nonsensical European horror films and particularly if you have a pre-existing affinity for Jess Franco movies, give this one a shot. It's terrible, but somehow trance inducing in its own bizarre way. Kino/Redemption's Blu-ray is rough in spots, mainly in the film's use of stock footage, but definitely improves over the DVD release in the audio and video departments. Recommended, yes, but with a fair bit of caution.

See if this sounds familiar. Get elected by promising jobs. But once in office push through tax cuts for the wealthy and their corporate masks, and cut jobs. Then use the resulting budget deficits and jobs crisis to whip up pubic panic. Finally, use that panic to push through "solutions" that have little to do with jobs or budgets and everything to do with consolidating wealth and power. How often to you see that formula played out?
Promise Jobs
In 2010, Republicans around the country were elected after running hundreds of millions of dollars in ads (paid for largely by billionaires and big corporations) promising jobs (and promising to protect entitlements.) They promised this because poll after poll after poll shows that the public wants the government to focus on jobs and protect the things government does for We, the People.
But Once IN Office
But now in office they are cutting jobs, gutting the things government does for We, the People and saying "So Be It" when confronted on the gap between campaign promises and action in office. They said what they needed to say to get power, and they are using that power to consolidate power, gut government and pass ever more money and power to the top.
Wisconsin Laying Off
Wisconsin is showing us how it works. In Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker pushed through $117 million in business tax cuts. Then he pushed through a law requiring a two-thirds majority to raise taxes, removing that as a way to fix the resulting deficits. And finally, the run for the goalposts: get rid of unions, gut government, destroy public schools, and push through the rest of the corporate-right agenda.
The Governor is killing jobs and public schools, laying off thousands of teachers and state workers and dramatically cutting the school budget. The unions have conceded to every wage and pension cut, but this is not remotely what the Governor wants. It is not about budgets, budgets are the mask. He wants the unions and public schools destroyed, and the price of defiance is thousands and thousands of jobs.
Not About Budget Or Jobs
LA Times, Limiting unions just part of Wisconsin governor's agenda,
"What you've got is a governor who's come in with a great appetite for achieving his ends," said Norman J. Ornstein, a scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. "This is far more about power than it is about money."
… he also signed a law protecting businesses from liability in lawsuits. The only business group he battled with was the Democratic-leaning green energy industry, when he proposed increasing regulations on the placement of wind farms.
Other States And Nationally
This isn't just happening in Wisconsin, it is part of an orchestrated campaign in several states as well as at the federal level to panic voters about budget shortfalls with the goal of implementing corporate/conservative "solutions." This week in the story For right, Wisconsin battle was years in making, Politico examined how the billionaire Koch brothers and others have waged a campaign to convince voters that public employees, their pensions and their unions are responsible for state budget deficit, leading up to efforts like the ones in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio and other states to get rid of public employee unions. From the Politico story,
The conservative assault on public sector unions that seemed to explode out of nowhere in Wisconsin and spread across the Midwest was in fact months – if not years – in the making, the result of methodical polling, lobbying, messaging, grassroots organizing and policy crafting by a coterie of well-funded conservative groups.
The corporate/billionaire PR machine may have whipped up media stories about pensions, but the public isn't buying it.
Poll After Poll
Poll after poll after poll show the public wants the government to focus on jobs, not on cuts. It is very, very clear. And economist after economist agrees. And then even more polls and more economists.
NBC/WSJ poll: 37% want job creation, 22% want cuts. But among those "they are adamantly opposed to cuts in Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and K-12 education."
Most popular deficit solution? "…placing a surtax on federal income taxes for those who make more than $1 million per year (81 percent said that was acceptable)."
NYTimes/CBS Poll: "Those surveyed said they opposed, 56 percent to 37 percent, cutting the pay or benefits of public employees to reduce deficits."
Most popular deficit solution? "Asked how they would choose to reduce their state's deficits, those polled preferred tax increases over benefit cuts for state workers by nearly two to one."

Texans general manager Rick Smith made a rapid-fire visit to the NRG Stadium press box Thursday night to brag on the newest Texan, South Carolina's acclaimed Jadeveon Clowney, but Smith excused himself after taking only a handful of questions, explaining, "We've still got a lot of work to do."
Indeed he does. The Texans must still take the right quarterback with the opening pick in the second round. They're back on the clock as we speak.
And the leader in the clubhouse with the first round finished is, yep, Derek Carr. He's the consensus highest-rated QB left on the board.
"It's hard to find a weakness," former Giants quarterback Phil Simms said of David Carr's kid brother. "You know what the weakness is? The last name. Because his brother didn't succeed . . . it's unfair. The guy has size. He can make all the throws. And the guy can run. What's not to like?"
Rich Gannon, another former NFL quarterback, calls Carr "the best pure passer" in the draft and suggests he's a different kind of player than the Texans' first-ever draft choice was. "He's got size and arm strength, and toughness."
But the fact that his sibling failed miserably in Houston makes things infinitely more complicated for the Texans.
Having landed the consensus best prospect in this draft class and a once-in-a-generation-sized talent at defensive end made Smith "obviously very excited to have Clowney locked up," but he's hungry for more. Coming off a disastrous 2-14 season, which "won" Smith the right to pick first overall, the GM knows it's going to take more than a single defensive end, however limitless the young man's potential may be, to get the Texans turned back in the right direction.
Smith didn't hang around long enough to address reports that the Texans are close to trading for the little-used Patriots backup quarterback Ryan Mallett – four passes attempted with one completion and one interception in three clipboard-toting seasons in Tom Brady's shadow – nor did Smith have time to speculate on which rookie option he favored.
But apparently the Texans didn't think enough of Bridgewater to trade up into the tail end of the first round as the Vikings did, never mind that the Louisville Cardinal was judged by many to be the best QB prospect of them all before he had a poor pro day. Does that mean they've made their peace with the Carr brand? Could Smith still be considering LSU's Zach Mettenberger, whom they seemed to pay special attention to during the long pre-draft vetting process this spring despite his ACL surgery? How about Alabama's A. J. McCarron, the consummate proven winner in the bunch?
Pittsburgh's Tom Savage is there for the taking, too, as is Eastern Illinois' Jimmy Garoppolo, to whom they paid a visit.
Might they even wait until the third round for their quarterback of the future and ferret out desperately needed help for the offensive line first?
"We have a bunch of picks and a bunch of opportunities moving forward," Smith said.

I really don't like firefox, so the first thing I did after installation was install chromium as a browser and removed firefox via terminal using:
sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox
But every time update manager opens it lists language packs for firefox. I can uncheck the package, but it gets rather annoying.
Is there some lingering file somewhere that I need to purge as well?

A band you've never heard of -- AC/DC cover band AC/db -- made over $32,000 from music sales in November.
How is that possible?
Under the old business model of music sales on physical media, it wouldn't be. For a band to end up with that much money in its pockets after the distributor and record label had taken their cuts, its music would have to have posted gaudy, unmissable sales numbers.
AC/db, on the other hand, just had to do around $45,000 in sales at the iTunes store. After Apple took its 30 cents on the dollar, that left $32,000, of which the band's distributor -- TuneCore -- took nothing at all.
TuneCore is one of a few digital distributors that have turned the music business model on its head, treating distribution as a service. The company charges an up front fee to process recordings and upload them to music stores like iTunes -- which won't deal with individual artists. The band retains all rights to its music and keeps all the revenue past what the stores keep.
This model is obviously appealing to musicians. CEO Jeff Price says TuneCore, a startup with a mere $7 million in venture funding to date, distributes more music for sale than any company in the world -- and by a wide margin. In 2009, TuneCore processed and uploaded around 300 albums per day, and sold more than a song per second; its iTunes sales were good for $32 million after Apple took its cut.
That doesn't seem like a large sum in the context of a $10 billion industry. But as most of TuneCore's customers are unsigned ("whatever that even means anymore," Price says), that is mostly going straight to musicians; in that context, $32 million is serious money.
And it's not just music -- TuneCore put a collection of Halloween-themed sound effects on iTunes, which sold for around $20,000 in November.
The barriers to entry are low -- TuneCore charges around $10 for a single, $40 for an album, pretty much in line with its main competitor, ReverbNation -- so anyone can record just about anything and offer it to the masses on a whim. And if they happen to catch a viral wave, they can end up making a decent living.

It's just, traditionally, we've had users picking for multiple team's. It's fun to strategize different rosters and see how they come out; one team might be run-and-gun, another might have great bigs, etc. Using a 2K simulater means that the majority of the draft is automated, while only 5 or 6 teams actually matter.

Happy New Years' Weekend–Fireworks, Crab Cakes, Champagne and US!
December 29, 2011 by: Susan Goldsmith
Personally, New Years' Eve isn't my favorite holiday. I think of doing taxes, of what I haven't accomplished this year, what I need to accomplish next year… but every year, our guests jolly me into appreciating the holiday more than I would were we not innkeepers. After all, 2012 sounds more well-rounded than 2011. I like even numbers. THERE WILL BE FIREWORKS at the beach, in view from Boreas, on New Years Eve!! I almost forgot!
The Christmas tree is still fresh and lovely for some reason (Bill takes good care of the tree!) and we haven't tired of the decorations so prettily placed by our decorating crew the first weekend in December. We had a great time decorating this year. This year was extra special with a sweet blend of family and beloved guests who are now family too. We are hoping that we fill up for New Years' weekend. We are always filled up after Christmas but not this year! Groupon and Living Social may be the reason—people shopping for bargains. Frankly, for what Boreas offers, we are a bargain! But we're offering the Carpe Diem, Walk-in Special rate starting today. $150 for luxury and pampering! Even the cottage is open this weekend.
Our guest list so far is a fun one and Odell will be here to help us dismantle the decorations if we can work around our desire to watch football…at Mark and Helen's Lost Roo, of course! Go DUCKS! Everyone is invited to take DOWN the decorations with us and go to The Roo!
Fresh Dungeness Crabcakes and Champagne on Sunday morning, New Years' Day, sounds pretty perfect for one of our FOUR courses, and Bill will do beautiful work on the crab cakes as always and I will bake pastries, whip up sauces and make the fruit entrée glow so that consuming all that vitamin C seems very sexy. Well…it is! But I hope that if it's going to be cloudy this week end, that it is also stormy so we can feel comforted by the fireplaces. But I also hope that there is a break in the weather so we can go for a fresh walk to start the New Year. We have been fortunate with fine weather this fall.
Come stay with us this weekend at the prettiest inn on the Long Beach Peninsula—featherbeds, down comforters, fireplaces, fine and fancy breakfast fare, freshly baked brownies, and the incredibly-wonderful-almost-brand-new hot tub for two with a little aromatherapy—mint and eucylptus, to soften your skin. Boreas Bed & Breakfast Inn is posh but hip, fun, but mellow and very food-crazy with a great location on the beach in Long Beach Washington. Relaxation is the best way to start the next banner year—2012! Happy New Year!

The Atlantic City International Airport has been directed to implement new, relaxed security requirements regarding acceptable carry-on items for airline passengers at all U.S. airports.
ACY been instructed by the Transportation Security Administration to help implement some changes to the strict ban on liquids, gels and aerosols on carry-on baggage that was instituted in August.
As of today, travel sized versions of these items will be permitted to be carried aboard the aircraft.
Liquids, gels and aerosols like creams, lotions, toothpaste, hairspray and make-up will now be permitted as long as they are in travel-sized containers of less than 3 ounces.
All of these travel-sized items must fit comfortably into a quart-sized, clear plastic bag these are usually about 7 inches wide and eight inches in length -- about the size of a sandwich bag. Only one bag per individual is permitted.
Another change is that travelers may now bring items, including beverages, aboard the aircraft if they are purchased beyond the security screening area in the sterile area on the second floor of the ACY terminal building.
Finally, the TSA will continue to allow liquid medicines and baby formula in amounts greater than 3 ounces but will require travelers to officially declare those items and have them screened.
The Atlantic City International Airport customer services representatives are there to help educate passengers about the new requirements.
Additional and up-to-date information on aviation security measures can be obtained at the Transportation Security Administration at www.tsa.org.

The Palo Alto Fire Department should merge its Hanover Street and Arastradero Road fire stations, reorganize top management and end the "minimum staffing" requirement in the fire-union contract, outside consultants are recommending in a new study.
The 190-page report, which the City Council will discuss Monday night, characterizes the city's Fire Department as one that provides top-notch emergency services but has major organizational deficiencies, particularly in areas such as fire prevention and training.
The study was conducted by ICMA, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that promotes "best practices" in local governance, in partnership with TriData, a division of System Planning Corp., a Northern Virginia research and electronics company.
"The PAFD provides excellent service when responding to emergencies," the consultants concluded. "However, the PAFD, once considered a 'best example' fire organization, has become a stagnant organization and management is struggling, due in part to insufficient support staff."
Using data analysis and face-to-face interviews, the consultants evaluated fire-department response times; fire and emergency medical services (EMS) workloads; services and agreements with Stanford University; fire station and staffing locations and the use of overtime and auxiliary personnel.
The report includes 48 recommendations, including a new organizational structure in which a "public safety director" oversees both the police and fire operations; a single location for the Fire Department's senior staff to operate in; merging of Station 2 and Station 5 into a new station near the intersection of Arastradero Road and Hillview Avenue; and staffing Station 8 in the foothills only during "high fire" days, rather than throughout the summer.
The consultants' recommendation to merge the two stations was based on data showing "significant overlap in service coverage," according to the report.
Retaining the two stations is "not merited by current and projected demand and (there are) indications that existing locations no longer match current needs of the city as it has been built out since the stations were built in the 1960s," the report said.
The consultants also criticized the "minimum staffing" provision in Palo Alto's contract with its firefighters union. The provision, which has been in place since the late 1970s, requires the city to always have at least 29 firefighters on duty. The report stated that this provision has led to "decreased staffing flexibility as service needs change."
The lack of flexibility has meant the elimination of many administrative staff positions, some of which should be reinstated, the consultants said, including the Geographic Information System (GIS) data analyst and a battalion chief to plan and manage the training program.
But efforts to scrap the provision have been shot down in the past. The firefighters union, Palo Alto Professional Firefighters, Local 1319, has consistently fought efforts to end "minimum staffing," and it continues to resist job reductions in the department. Last year, the union petitioned to have Measure R placed on last November's ballot, which would have required any change in fire-department staffing levels to be approved by the electorate. It was shot down by 75 percent of voters.
"Though we understand the concern of the union to maintain an adequate staff to maintain safety, we disagree that the total minimum staff should be in the contract," the consultants wrote.
It would be reasonable, they wrote, to establish staffing guidelines for a fire engine or a ladder truck. But they wrote that the city "should never agree to a minimum staffing requirement that establishes the total force as this equates to establishing the level of service provided."
The new report also addressed another issue with a contentious history: staffing of Station 8 in the foothills. It recommends staffing the station only during "high fire" days, as determined by Cal Fire. Alternative staffing options include contracting with Cal Fire or another agency as well as investigating the use of infrared technology to monitor hot spots in the area and deploying staff as appropriate.
The station is currently open between July and November for 12 hours a day. Consultants found that in all of 2009, the station's Engine 8 responded to 17 calls and that the total workload for these calls was 12 hours. The cost to staff Station 8 was $188,000.
"The demand for services in Station 8's area is too low to justify the cost and other options may be available," the report stated.
Other recommendations are less divisive and are already being implemented by the city. The consultants urge Palo Alto to "regionalize" its fire and EMS training program and work with Los Altos, Mountain View and Sunnyvale toward a "boundary-less response network" -- a project the four cities are already pursuing.
"There is opportunity to improve service delivery and efficiency if Palo Alto and other jurisdictions combined to not only share stations but also to implement a boundary-less response model such that resources from any jurisdiction would respond regardless of the political boundary," the report states. "This approach would more than likely result in more service-sharing opportunities and improve efficiency because cities could share resources more than they do under the existing automatic-aid agreements."
Consultants also recommended that the city create a "public-safety director" position to oversee both police and fire operations. The fire chief position is currently vacant and Police Chief Dennis Burns has been serving as the interim fire chief since last July. The report recommends that the city make his dual-role permanent.
The report was released at a time of tension between the city and its firefighters. City Council members have frequently expressed frustrations about the rising costs in the Fire Department at a time when other departments are facing budget cuts. At last month's council retreat, City Manager James Keene talked about the need to bring the city's public-safety employees "into alignment" with other labor groups that have faced salary freezes and benefit reductions over the past two years.
The city and the firefighters union are currently negotiating a new labor agreement.
Keene said in a statement Wednesday that the consultants' review "allows us to benchmark our operations to other agencies and objectively assess what is working well and what needs refinement for us to provide responsive and cost-effective service to this community."
"I believe this report is an important step for us to identify ways to enhance the effectiveness of the Fire Department and better position it for the 21st century," he said.
Tony Spitaleri, president of Palo Alto Professional Firefighters, Local 1319, said Wednesday evening he was just beginning to read the voluminous report.
"There are a great many suggestions that would make the fire department a stronger one and would help the department meet the needs of the community," Spitaleri said.
However, he said, "The issue of minimum staffing is a real concern to us. We don't support staffing reductions that could lead to killing a firefighter or a citizen."

Man, has it been this long since I've griped about the TSA? I should travel by plane again so I get ticked.
Anyway, you'll be happy to know that they're spending money in the sane, responsible way you've come to expect from the federal government.

Enjoying the debt ceiling talks? The posturing, petulance, brinksmanship, bluffing? Well, let me make it a little bit more nauseating: China has pulled up a seat at the table. China's leaders
have been weighing in nearly every day, reminding the U.S. of its obligations to investors.
Whoa. Who elected the Chinese leadership to give it a seat at the table? It's a trick question, because Beijing is still an autocratic, and yes, communist government unburdened by things like elections, dissent, civil liberties, etc. But moving past the question of legitimacy, let's look at China's claim:
It's true that China holds about $1.1 trillion in U.S. securities, which is roughly equal to 12 percent of the US public debt. That makes China a significant investor in US debt, but by no means our only creditor.
Does China have leverage as "our banker?" Not really. Default would do far more harm to China, which holds a total of $3.2 trillion in foreign currency reserves, than it would to the U.S. The simple truth is that China needs the U.S. more than we need China. There is still considerable domestic and global demand for U.S. debt as a safe haven, so we really don't need China's banking services, but China has no substitute for the American consumer market. China depends on the U.S. for a sizable portion of its manufacturing employment, shipping about one-third of its export goods to our market.
Does China have the moral authority to tell the U.S. what to do about our debt? Not at all. China finances our debt for a very self-serving
reason. China's Central Bank buys dollars and Treasuries and sells Yuan (China's currency) to keep the Yuan's exchange rate artificially low against the dollar. That serves as an effective tax on our exports (about 30-40%) and a subsidy for China's exports to the U.S. This practice, called "currency manipulation," is frowned upon by the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization, other industrial nations, and economists across the ideological spectrum for good reason. It contributes to China's enormous current account surplus ($272 billion last year) and dangerous global imbalances. Currency manipulation has also contributed to an evisceration of
the U.S. manufacturing base, which saw one-third of its jobs and 50,000 of its factories vanish over the past decade, along with the first-ever drop in industrial production. (You may have missed it, but fully half the U.S. trade deficit in May was with China–$25 billion of our $50 billion deficit.)
China's currency manipulation has directly contributed to our debt crisis. We lost about $286 billion in manufacturing wages alone last
decade, which led to substantial job loss in other sectors, a rise in personal debt, and a decline in revenue available to the government.
I have a modest proposal: cancel our debt to China unless it stops its currency manipulation and floats the Yuan to a market-based level. If there is a "bluff" that needs to be called in these debt ceiling negotiations, it's China's. Currency manipulation is a poison to our debt, our manufacturing base, and the global economy. Raising the value of the Yuan would also have long-term benefits for the Chinese economy, giving Chinese consumers more purchasing power, cooling inflationary pressures, and allowing its Central Bank do more useful things than maintaining an effective exchange rate "peg" every day.
That said, I'm not holding my breath that any party in the debt ceiling negotiations will adopt this stance. President Obama and his Administration have failed to name China a currency manipulator five consecutive times since he took office, a stunning break from his 2008 campaign rhetoric. The Senate last year refused to take up a House-passed bill to deter China from its cheating. The House Republican leadership is soft on China on currency, and has no intention of bringing up the bipartisan bill for a vote this year, even though 99 Republicans supported the measure last year.
Stopping China's currency manipulation is one of the few public policies that would have a positive impact on our budget deficit, job creation, and global rebalancing. It apparently makes too much sense for our political leaders to consider. They must be too busy listening to China.

Useful stuff from the 44th Annual Inventors Congress
Each June, inventors and inventor-wannabes gather at a convention in the heart of farm country in Redwood Falls, MN. If you visit, a $5 admission fee gets you into the show where you notice a few odd birds and nutty professor types with signs making outrageous claims such as "Multimillion-Dollar Idea Here!" Upon closer inspection, the "idea" turns out to be a bizarre electronic gizmo that seems unlikely to fulfill the creator's promised financial destiny. You move on and the prospect of the next gizmo's success makes you a bit uneasy, as you suspect that this is how that freakish talking Furby toy got its start. So you take your cue from the Minnesota-nice locals: You nod, smile and quickly look away.
Then, right next to the ridiculous flubberbuster and dirtbirger displays, there's a guy in coveralls showing off a new tool or attachment that strikes you as a genuinely good idea. And some of the inventions down the next row, like the ones we found here, might actually be useful for your farm.
Portable workbench
Clint Birkeland lets his invention speak for itself. As prospective customers approach, the quiet, wiry inventor swings into action, rolling out what appears to be a steel-reinforced furniture dolly. Birkeland smartly unfolds 18-gauge steel arms and wings and snaps them into place. In less than a minute, the dolly is transformed into the Power Bench, one of the sturdiest and most stable portable workbenches you'll ever use.
Fully extended, the bench provides a stable work surface that is 1 1/2 ft. wide and 9 ft. long. It can be used as a support for a chop saw or a miter saw, a work surface at adjustable heights for drilling or hand tool work, or a clamping base with or without a plywood overlay. Birkeland says he's sold the Power Bench to electricians, carpenters, plumbers, steel stud workers, door installers, mechanics and farmers. Base price is $400. Options such as a 4 1/2-ft. extension table for supporting long boards, a stop rail for multiple cuts, extra support legs and drill press basket are also available. Contact Clint Birkeland, Lee Unlimited Inc., 336 UC Rd., Box 336, DuPree, SD 57623, 605/365-5430.
Sawhorse and scaffolding combo
If you're tired of teetering your work on a pair of old sawhorses, the practical simplicity of Jim Nesburg's welded steel brackets will have you wondering why you've risked life and limb for so long. Two brackets, one at each end of a 2-in. x 1-ft. plank, form the base for a sturdy workbench or a stable scaffold. With an adjustable height of 1 3/4 to 2 3/4 ft., optional handrails and a load capacity of up to 1,000 lbs., there's a place for this invention in almost any shop or work space. Price of one pair of brackets is $85, plus $10.00 for shipping. Contact JON Mfg., Dept. FIN, 408 E. Chestnut, Redwood Falls, MN 56283, 507/637-3142.
Quick control for truckers
The problem with reaching for dash switches in a big rig is that your right hand has to come off the shifter. That can be inconvenient, even dangerous as you're trucking on down the highway. Installing the Quick Control on the truck's shifter puts more vital functions at your fingertips and keeps your right hand where it belongs — on the stick, not the dash. Four switches transfer control of the cruise control, headlights, clearance lights and engine brake. The unit fits on either Rockwell or Eaton shifters. Price: $239. Contact Mae Goodridge, Serenity Sales and Distribution, 10934 State Hwy. 95, Princeton, MN 55371, 800/326-5469, www.quickcontrols.com.
Floor protector
Protect your garage or shop floor from vehicle drippings and debris with the Containment Mat. Jerry Dehn designed the rubber mat to catch snow, ice, sand, dirt and mud that builds up on vehicles and ultimately drops on garage floors. A raised dam around the edge of the mat contains up to 65 gal. of liquid. The raised edges also keep sockets and parts from rolling away, so the mat is handy when you're working on equipment or vehicles. The large mat (7 ft. 5 in. x 18 ft. 8 in.) costs $199. The small mat (4 ft. 5 in. x 9 ft.) is $129. Contact Jerry Dehn, Box 4056, Mankato, MN 56001, 507/385-0600.
Turf mender
Whether it's caused by dogs, drought or winterkill, anyone with a lawn eventually ends up dealing with unsightly dead patches that need reseeding. Just tossing the seed on top is great for feeding the birds, but won't grow much grass. Meanwhile, a rake is a blister builder and can dig up grass that's still alive. Bob Wittenberg's invention, the Turf Mender, combines seeding and tillage into one precise operation. Just push the spring-loaded plunger to release seed out of the hollow handle, then gently work the seed into the soil with the steel tines. Price is $69 plus tax and $5 for shipping. Contact Wittenberg Enterprises, Box 1432, Winona, MN 55987, 507/454-2312.
Grain flow controller
Now there's a way to fill your grain wagon without moving the chute or entering the wagon. Glen Forrest's Grain Levelor is a unique PVC pipe design that uses a pull chain to control the discharge height of each chute. Grain flow can be adjusted by moving two slides under each chute. Forrest says his prototype is surprisingly sturdy and long-wearing. "I've run 40,000 bu. through my unit at home and you can't see any wear," he says. Forrest points out that he hasn't sold any Grain Levelors yet, but will consider building and selling new units for about $120. Contact Glenn Forrest, 7916 E. 3400 North Rd., Potomac, IL 61865-6627, 217/987-6497.
Redesigned rivets
When it comes to attaching sheet metal to buildings or machines, Pepper Aasgaard thinks screws are old news. "A screw in light-gauge sheet metal has the holding strength of only one small thread and can easily wiggle loose," he says. Although construction experts agree that rivets would be much stronger, drilling the rivet holes typically takes too long for riveted metal buildings to be practical. Aasgaard's solution ¾ the self-tapping rivet.
In his design, a sharp tip combined with a serrated screw cutting head pulls the rivet through the sheet metal in a way that uses the sheet metal itself to help bind the material when the rivet is compressed. Aaasgard, who's devoted several years to the study and design of better rivets, says he's also patented self-sealing blind rivets and high-strength, self-tapping bolt rivets. Who knows? One of his riveting inventions could soon show up as part of a grain bin, pole shed or corn head near you. The new rivets aren't fully in production, so you won't find them at your local hardware store yet. But if you'd like to try them, Aaasgard is willing to sell a few prototype rivets through the mail. Prices range from $0.25 for one rivet up to $4 for stainless rivets. Contact Asar Group, 3623-24 Ambrust Dr., Omaha, NE 68124-3744, 800/866-4848, e-mail email@example.com.
Measuring tape
Marlin Olson gives new meaning to the words tape measure. His idea is to help contractors and carpenters accurately lay out wood or metal stud walls with center dimensions of 16 or 24 in. The simple invention is really little more than an adhesive-backed masking tape with measurements marked on it. Though he hasn't yet found a company to help him take his product to the production stage, Olson says his measuring tape could be useful in many types of construction projects that require speedy and accurate nailing. Maybe someday you'll see this product at a hardware store. You can't buy Olson's tape yet, but anyone seriously interested in partnering with him to take his invention to production can contact him at Box 54, Comfrey, MN 56019, 507/877-3031.
Mobile mouse
Laptop computers are great except for those irritating touch pads and roller balls that do a half-baked job of moving your cursor around the screen. What most people really want is to use their beloved mouse, just like at home. The MouseAbout makes your mouse mobile by providing a retractable mouse pad that's available anywhere you go. The unit installs on the bottom of any laptop computer with four adhesive Velcro fasteners. Slide the pad out, plug your mouse in, and you're ready to click. The MouseAbout is available for $29.95 from Productive Products Worldwide, 1540 Banana River Dr., Merrit Island, FL 32952, 321/453-5018, www.mousabout.com.
Tool holder
Imagine taking two plastic kitchen scrubber brushes and positioning the bristles facing one another. Place a pencil, a scissors or a screwdriver between them and it stays. That's the basic idea behind the Hold'er. Just stick one on the side of your toolbox, desk, computer or tractor dash and you might notice that stuff isn't rolling around and getting lost as much as it used to. This simple, yet nifty little invention costs only $1. Contact W.A. Bitt Products, W1515 Pine Rd., Eleva, WI 54738, 715/287-4407, e-mail email@example.com.
Door holder
This is a classic case of one invention spawning a need for another. Maybe you've got one of those self-closing screen doors that clamps down on your elbow like a pit bull whenever you try to carry in the groceries. Well, the Door Keeper is a simple gadget designed to muzzle that beast. The stainless steel device fits over and immobilizes the joint in most automatic closing arms, freeing you to walk through the door with your elbows and groceries intact. Just be sure to remove the device before every housefly and mangy farm cat in the county scampers into your kitchen for a free meal. The Door Keeper sells for $15. Contact Kenneth Larsen at 763/550-1618 or Cheryl Gagne at 763/295-3869 for more details.
