Over 150 years ago, at the mouth of a canyon where railroad lines merged, the small town of Niles was established. A pleasant climate and plentiful water encouraged orchards and farms throughout the area and a landmark flour mill was constructed nearby. A plant nursery, largest in the State of California, could be found in Niles and in the early

1900s, the scenic countryside and location near rail transportation was found to be ideal for the production of early motion pictures. Movie cowboys roamed the streets and movie stars including Charlie Chaplin, Broncho Billy and Ben Turpin rubbed shoulders with local residents. Incorporated as an historic district when the City of Fre-

mont was formed in 1956, Niles has retained much of its independent spirit and ambiance. A walk along the main streets of Niles provides constant reminders of its heritage and antique shops are filled with nostalgic paraphernalia. Niles has always known how to put on a party in

BY MEENU GUPTA After nearly 35 years in public service with the Hayward Police Department, Police Chief Ron Ace will retire this year. Appointed as Interim Police Chief March 31, 2008, the promotion was made permanent January 5, 2009. Chief Ace reorganized Hayward's police department with an emphasis on community policing. “My goal was to reorganize the police department structurally and implement a community concept of policing that involves districts.” “In 2008 we created two districts; a North and a South,” says Ace. “It has moved along quite well and has been very successful.” Hayward's police standards match the highest and most rigorous of any in the nation. Synchronized Multi-Agency Safe Housing program (SMASH), part of the Hayward Police Department's Strategic Plan "2008 and Beyond" is successfully managing problem properties.

earlier this year. “It is a well recognized program that may be replicated in other agencies,” he said. Hayward PD is also in the process of upgrading its computer aided dispatch system. “The system that we currently employ is 20 years old and not working as well as it should.” Ace said. “The geographic mapping system will let us know where our officers are at all times and make analyzing crime trends much easier, providing timely information to prevent and deter crime.” After retirement, Chief Ace is planning to spend more time with his family. His wife is also retiring after a 40 year career as a nurse.

STORY AND PHOTO SUBMITTED BY JEAN LORENO Fifth graders Shayne Bhatia, Mihir Baya, Bill Nguyen, Ishan Sastry and Saavan Parikh from Gomes Elementary school in Fremont, participated in The Tech Challenge, a signature program competition of The Tech Museum, held in San Jose on April 30. This 5th grade rookie team solved this year’s challenge—‘Cleaning up the Great Pacific Gyre,’ a massive collection of plastic trash in the Pacific Ocean, without harming marine life. The Pacific Gyre is roughly the size of Texas, and approximately 3.5 million tons of trash was found in this dump floating midway between Hawaii and San Francisco. Fifth grade teacher Mr. Eric Lee runs the Eco Club at Gomes Elementary School, along with Ms. Lisa Garcia. He inspired the students to understand this real world problem and find a solution. After confronting many challenges, the students developed a device that removed plas-

tic trash from a dry mock-up of the garbage patch without disturbing models of plants and fish. Like other teams, they were evaluated on their device’s performance, engineering process, journal, style and presentation; points were awarded for teamwork and perseverance. More than 250 teams— nearly 1,200 students, representing nine Bay Area counties and teams from as far away as India, participated in this year’s ‘Great Pacific Gyre Challenge.’

The Tech Challenge meets California’s Curriculum and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) standards and reinforces the skills students need in the 21st century: writing, design, evaluation, management, teamwork and presentation. It is designed to provide months of science and math team learning and provides young people with the real-life engineering design challenges that inspire creativity and build teamwork skills.

Wieckowski to Co-Chair Select Committee on Clean Energy Economy Assemblymember Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont) was appointed by Speaker John A. Perez to serve as the co-chair of the Select Committee on California’s Clean Energy Economy. "I am proud to serve as the co-chair of the Select Committee focusing on California’s Clean Energy Economy,” said Wieckowski. “In order to reinvigorate California’s economy, we must remain the global center of innovation and find new and creative ways to support our emerging clean technology industries. California is home to groundbreaking companies that are finding solutions to our world’s energy needs and creating the jobs of the future.” Wieckowski will co-chair the Select Committee on California’s Clean Energy Economy with Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner (DBerkeley). Wieckowski serves as the chair of the Committee on Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials and is a member of the Judiciary, Insurance, and PERS committees. He was elected in November 2010 to represent the 20th Assembly District.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Movie Review BY JENNIFER GAU It’s amazing how the topic of love and relationships can never get old… new chick flicks keep coming out. People will always have relationship challenges at every stage of their life. In “Something Borrowed,” Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) reaches her 30th

birthday with one regret; not working on her love life. Her best friend, Darcy (Kate Hudson), never had problems with her love life and is counting the days to marrying the man of her (and Rachel’s) dreams. The funny thing is that Rachel was the one who introduced Darcy to Dex (Colin Egglesfield) six years ago. For her entire life, Rachel has known Darcy as the girl who can get whatever and whomever she wants. But the world turns up-

side down the night of Rachel’s 30th. Rachel and Dex end up sleeping together which starts a classic love triangle roller coaster of emotions. Does Rachel have it in her to keep the guy of her dreams? Director Luke Greenfield brings to life the book written by Emily Giffin, who even has a cameo appearance in the movie. Giffin’s style has a lot of character development and female independence which make it an enjoyable beach or

weekend read. The actors fit each role impeccably. Hudson makes the perfect Darcy as the girl who always needs to be the center of attention. Egglesfield is a level-headed gentleman and quite dreamy when his shirt is unbuttoned. Goodwin plays the cute girl who has lived in her friend’s shadow for too long, and is unaware of her own potential. Ethan (John Krasinski) is the main source of laughter in the movie. His usual Jim Halpert character (from the TV series “The Office”) fits in as someone who Rachel can talk to when her usual BFF is not available. He is the voice of reason when drama has engulfed those around him. Between working in New York and vacationing in the Hamptons on the weekends, the characters show how it’s not hard to act like they’re in their 20s while in their 30s. “Something Borrowed” provides one of the best chick flicks of the year with surprisingly well-placed humor and a good soundtrack. The movie’s ability to keep the audience guessing makes this movie the number one choice when spending a night with the girls. Runtime: 1 hour 43 minutes Rated: PG-13

o you know or understand what health insurance options are out there for you? What type of health insurance is right for you and your family? If you would like to learn helpful information about health coverage that makes sense for you, put your worries to rest and attend Washington Hospital’s upcoming seminar, “Health Insurance Options: What You Need to Know” on Tuesday, May 17 from 10 a.m. to Noon. "Our goal is to provide seminar attendees as much information as possible about their health care coverage options,” says Linda Dawal, Health Insurance Information Services Coordinator at Washington Hospital. “If you have lost your job, we can help you understand your options and provide information on COBRA and Cal-COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act), insurance options for children, pre-existing insurance policies for those turned down by private insurance companies, Medicare and Medi-Cal.” According to Dawal, understanding your health insurance options can be half the battle. However, she says this seminar will help you gain the knowledge you need to choose the solutions that are right for you and your family. “During the seminar, attendees can count on receiving unbiased information on a range

of health insurance coverage options and health care services that are available in the community,” adds Dawal. “We encourage attendees to ask questions that pertain to their specific situation so that we can help them get the right information and connect them to the appropriate resources.” During the seminar, speakers will discuss the following topics in more detail: What Type of Health Insurance Is Best For You? Not to sure what health insurance is right for you and your family? Our health care system comes with a great variety of health insurance options. The options span the spectrum from low cost, minimal coverage to all-inclusive policies. At the upcoming seminar, you will learn about HMO and PPO insurance plans, Medi-Cal and other government sponsored programs. What is COBRA? People who have been laid off and had employer-sponsored health insurance are usually eligible for up to 18 months of continued coverage under COBRA, the federal law more formally known as the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. COBRA requires continuation coverage to be offered to covered employees, their spouses, their former spouses, and their dependent children when group health coverage would otherwise be lost due to an employment lay

In an effort to provide helpful information about health insurance options, Washington Hospital will conduct a free public seminar covering the many health insurance plans and programs that are available to your and your family.The seminar will take place on Tuesday, May 17 from 10 a.m. to Noon at the Conrad E. Anderson M.D. Auditorium, located at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West) in Fremont.Visit www.whhs.com to register.

off. Under COBRA, employers may require individuals who elect continuation coverage to pay the full cost of the coverage, plus a two percent administrative charge. What is HIPAA? HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. It allows people to buy individual health insurance when they lose their group health insurance, even if they have a pre-existing health condition. If you qualify, all health plans that sell individual plans must offer you health insurance. You cannot be denied insurance because of your medical history. HIPPA adds protections and makes it easier to switch jobs without fear of losing health coverage for a preexisting condition. Government Insurance Options California offers health coverage to residents through the federally established temporary high-risk pool program. This

state-sponsored program helps people who can afford to buy health insurance, but are not able to get underwritten in the private market because of preexisting health conditions. To find out more information about California’s Pre-Existing Conditions Insurance Plan (PCIP) call 1-877-4285060 or visit www.pcip.ca.gov . Upcoming Health Insurance Coverage Seminars Washington Hospital will host a series of free health insurance seminars throughout the year. All seminars are scheduled from 10 a.m. to Noon and will take place at the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditorium, Room B (Washington West), located at 2500 Mowry Ave., Fremont.

nited Airlines flight #664 leaving San Francisco was to fly me to Chicago on my way to North Carolina to visit family. At the gate, several people were looking tanned, wearing shorts, and sporting Maui shirts apparently back from a very nice vacation. We were told our plane was full and the airline offered to put passenger’s carry-on luggage in the cargo area – free of charge. I remembered my daughter telling me once that she took such offer before only for her suitcase to be placed on a later flight. I did not want the possibly of a late delivery, so I declined. Once on board, I sat down and looked out my window to watch the luggage being transported alongside a large horizontal box stamped with: “Human Remains.” The sight surprised me as I have never seen a coffin go in the belly of a plane before.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

After that unsettling scene, I began to feel encroached in my seat and my right elbow touched my neighbor’s arm while I repositioned myself. Later, he coughed, and I immediately turned on the vent to channel his cough away. When the passenger in front of me also coughed, I thought of asking if anybody had a fashionable health mask to spare. Since there was nothing I could do, I grabbed a magazine from my bag and tried to turn my reading light on, but it did not work. Strangely, my light switch turned my neighbor’s light off, and when he tried his switch, it turned my light on. I thought the wiring was inauspicious, but hey, I had a dead body under me, my displeasure was minor in comparison. In flight and now six in the morning, the sunrise appeared through my window and I was appreciating the beauty of the

snow covered mountains below when the flight attendant in the aisle announced, “Snacks for purchase.” Her shout out ruined my moment as I turned and asked for hot tea – and that is all I got by the way, no peanuts or pretzels were offered. I simply could not be bothered with television that early and closed my eyes, but the crisp sound of a newspaper folding and unfolding behind me kept my senses awake. During a three-hour layover in Chicago, I decided to pass the time looking at shops, and bought a bag of peanuts double dipped in chocolate. When the receipt was handed to me, it read: $6.66. “Not a great omen,” I said to the cashier. She was taken aback when she looked at it and agreed with me. The first flight delay was for 20 minutes and I heard the airline personnel ask if anyone would give up their seat for a later flight and receive a $400

travel voucher plus a meal ticket. A young man stood up and took their offer. A second delay added 30 more minutes, but we finally boarded a small Express Jet where it was impossible to hear yourself think. A seat with minimal leg room greeted me, but I arrived safely in Greensboro, North Carolina. Phew! After four days with family, I was headed once again to the airport and did not realize that my blouse had metallic art embroidered onto it. It made the scanner go off and I was asked to wait for a pat down. I watched as a female T.S.A. employee put on elastic gloves, like doctors do before an exam, and approach me. She said in detail what she was going to do to me. I felt silly standing there with my arms stretched out, palms up, while she did what she had to do. And yes, she slightly touched every private place. With that ordeal over, I again waived good-bye to my family who watched the entire event from afar. United Airlines flight #7377 was delayed twice and later canceled. The airline called passengers for seat reassignments to a new flight; which meant passing through guarded airport areas as if we had just arrived from somewhere. My new destination was Washington Dulles Airport, departing two hours later. Passengers were understandably annoyed, but I somehow was managing my odyssey extremely well, that is, until I

May 13, 2011

went through security again, where I was patted down once more by another T.S.A. agent. The journey did not end there; once onboard I noticed the flight attendant to be in his 60’s and wondered if in an emergency, I would be helping him rather than him helping me. I sat down and thought “What else could seem wrong?” when I noticed the seal of my window unattached at the wall. I turned to my neighbor passenger and pointed at my window; alarmed, she said, “Should we say something?” We arrived safely, to Washington D.C., happy that my window held on and that we made it alive. My next flight home was uneventful, and despite jumping through airline hoops, I made it safely to my final destination: Home, sweet home.

Lightbourne named director CA Dept of Social Services SUBMITTED BY GWENDOLYN MITCHELL/MARINA HINESTROSA Santa Clara County Social Services Agency Director Will Lightbourne was named Director of the California Department of So-

cial Services by California Health and Human Services Secretary Diana Dooley on April 29. Lightbourne will serve in this new post through an interagency agreement between the County of Santa Clara and the State of California. “Will’s departure will be a huge loss for Santa Clara County,” said County Executive Jeffrey V. Smith. “But I’m supportive of allowing the State to benefit from Will’s significant leadership abilities in the Social Services arena.” As the Director of the California Department of Social Services, Lightbourne’s responsibilities will include oversight of the State's public assistance programs, children's services, community care licensing, and adult safety-net services. He will serve as an “executive on loan” to the State. “Our loss is a remarkable gain for our entire state, and each of the counties in California will benefit from Will’s leadership,” said President Dave Cortese, County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors and Chair of the Board’s Children, Senior and Families Committee. “We trust that Will’s knowledge, experience and vision will be instrumental in redirecting priorities during challenging times and helping to transform the State’s Social Services system for the better.” Lightbourne has served as the Santa Clara County Social Services Agency Director since 2000. During that time, Lightbourne has helped the Agency make great strides in modernizing public human services, configuring front-end services in the Department of Family and Children’s Services, and moving the Agency toward implementation of a Centralized Client Services system in its Department of Employment and Benefits Services. This system should be implemented over the next few months.

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF FREMONT By: /s/ Elisa Tierney Redevelopment Agency Director FREMONT REDEVELOPMENT MAP OF MERGED PROJECT AREAS

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN MID-TERM REVIEW FOR THE FREMONT MERGED REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT (INCLUDING IRVINGTON, NILES, CENTERVILLE, AND INDUSTRIAL AREAS) NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Fremont (the “Agency”) will hold a public hearing on June 7, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. at the City Council Chambers, located at 3300 Capitol Ave, Fremont, California. The hearing may be continued from time to time until completed. The hearing is being conducted to receive testimony of all interested parties for the purpose of: (1) reviewing the Consolidated Amended and Restated Redevelopment Plan (the “Redevelopment Plan”) For The Fremont Merged Redevelopment Project (the “Merged Redevelopment Project”), which addresses redevelopment of the former Irvington, Niles, Centerville, and Industrial project areas, and the corresponding Five-Year Implementation Plan for the Merged Redevelopment Project adopted by the Agency on June 10, 2008, as amended and restated as of March 10, 2010 (the “Implementation Plan”); and (2) evaluating the progress of the Merged Redevelopment Project. The redevelopment plans for the Irvington and Niles redevelopment project areas were originally adopted in 1977. The redevelopment plan for the Industrial redevelopment project area was originally adopted in 1983, and the redevelopment plan for the Centerville redevelopment project area was originally adopted in 1997. All four redevelopment plans were amended in 1998 and the four projects were merged for purposes of tax increment financing. The plans were subsequently amended in 2010 for the purposes of increasing the limit on the amount of tax increment revenue that may be claimed from the Industrial area portion of the Merged Redevelopment Project, and consolidating the separate redevelopment plans into the single current Redevelopment Plan. Attached is a map showing the general locations of the four areas comprising the Merged Redevelopment Project within Fremont. The Agency’s current Implementation Plan sets forth, for the five-year planning period comprised of fiscal years 2008-09 through 2012-13, the specific goals and objectives of the Agency for the Merged Redevelopment Project, potential programs and projects, estimated expenditures proposed to be made during the planning period, and an explanation of how the goals and objectives, programs, and expenditures will eliminate blight within the Merged Redevelopment Project, and implement the affordable housing requirements of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health & Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.). This hearing is being conducted pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33490(a) and (c) and presents an opportunity for a mid-term review of the current Implementation Plan, and a progress evaluation of the Merged Redevelopment Project. Any persons wishing to comment on the Redevelopment Plan for the Merged Redevelopment Project or the current Implementation Plan may appear at the hearing and will be afforded an opportunity to be heard. Copies of the Redevelopment Plan for the Merged Redevelopment Project and the current Implementation Plan will be available prior to the public hearing for public inspection and copying at a cost not to exceed the cost of duplication at the offices of the Agency located at 39550 Liberty Street, Fremont, California 94538. To obtain a copy of these documents, or for further information regarding this hearing, please call Irene de Jong at (510) 494-4510 during the City of Fremont’s normal business hours.

BY SUZANNE ORTT SUBMITTED BY SHUBHLAXMI BANERJEE Dr. Abhijan Banerjee, a physician at Kaiser Hayward, was nominated for a national award India two months ago. He was recognized for “Excellence in the field of Medicine” by the All India National Unity Conference May 7 in New Delhi. Every year awards & recognitions are given to men and women from various fields for their outstanding services, achievements and contributions. Some of the imminent personalities of India who have received this prestigious award are Mother Teresa, Prof. Kasturiranjan (Chairman, Indian Space Research Organization), Prof. U.R. Rao (Space Commission), Sushmita Sen (Miss Universe 1994), Ambassadors of Russia, China, Philippines, South Africa, Uzbekistan, High Commissioner of Mauritius, and many more. The award marks the birth anniversary of Late Shri Rabindranath Tagore, a Bengali poet, novelist, musician, painter and playwright who reshaped Bengali literature and music. He was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. The award has been given out by the Prime Ministers and Presidents of India to people who are working tirelessly to make India and the world proud. Dr. Banerjee is a naturalized US citizen, born and brought up in India, now living in Union City. He completed his medical school in India and came to the US for his Specialty training at North Shore Long Island Jewish in New York and now works at Kaiser Permanente as an attending Physician in the Department of Medicine. Along with his clinical duties he is a physician advisor for Resource Management at the medical center among other administrative roles. He also has had numerous patient attestations and citations during his training in New York and has been awarded “America’s Top Physicians” twice in 2009 and 2010.

cts of kindness are usually simple and easy but can also be complex. In mid-March, Alonzo Mourning performed a kindly action, which became complex because of his fame as a professional basketball player. Driving on a busy fourlane street in Miami, he noticed a disabled woman waiting to cross. Mourning pulled his SUV to the side of the road and stepped into the crosswalk. With his long arms and imposing physique at six foot eleven, he stopped traffic. The woman proceeded to the center median; then Mourning repeated his action, facing traffic in the opposite direction. Many drivers recognized him and honked and waved in appreciation. If an ordinary citizen performs a simple act of kindness, he probably will not make the news. This random action however, would be greatly appreciated by the recipient and although ordinary occurrences, these acts of kindness are infrequent enough to cause gratitude when they occur. Here is a sampling from an informal survey: One driver allowed another car to merge into his lane when traffic was heavy on the freeway. Numerous perceive this as a simple act of kindness. A customer in a checkout line with a full basket of merchandise allowed another with only a few items, to go first. Saying “please” and “thank you” is an easy and appreciated action. Equally remarkable are people holding doors open for others. Count these gestures as acts of kindness. In a true story, an elderly woman boarded a bus at the

Page 27

Union City BART station. Tired and damp, she had just returned on a Portland, Oregon to Oakland flight. As it had begun to rain, she was grateful to have a seat on the bus. This was the last leg of her journey. At one stop, the bus filled with Logan High School students, jamming the aisles and the front area. As she approached her destination, she began to worry. How was she going to get through the crowd with two pieces of luggage to get off the bus? At her stop, miraculously a teenaged boy asked, “Do you need some help, ma’am?” Gratefully she replied, “Yes.” The kind teen cheerfully carried her luggage off the bus before re-entering. A very thoughtful student solved her problem. The woman was so thankful. Her simple but heartfelt “thank you” was not nearly enough. Within the past year or two, a local jogger benefited from two kind actions. Once, while running on a sidewalk, two teenagers, approaching him, actually separated and passed on either side of him. This was unusually thoughtful. Similarly, on another evening, a man was walking his dog. The runner recounted that as they neared one another, the man moved into the grass some distance away, held the dog firmly and talked to the dog so he would not bark. In an account of a good deed from 45 years ago, a young tourist was traveling via bus across the USA with two girl friends. The bus arrived at a little border town in Ohio around midnight. The only place open was a truck stop and since they had little money, spent the night there drinking coffee.

The waitress kept bringing huge plates of food to the truckers. The three girls were talking in German about how hungry they were. Jokingly, they contemplated snatching some leftover food from plates before the waitress cleaned up. Unexpectedly, the waitress brought over three plates of food. The girls told her that they had not ordered any food, just coffee. She answered that the gentleman who was just leaving the cafe had ordered the food for them. He instructed the waitress to tell them that he spoke some German and had understood their conversation. He did not even wait for a thank you and the young women fell in love with the USA right then and there. A cup of coffee, not a meal, endeared one stranger to another. Urgently wanting coffee, a woman stopped at the coffee stand at a nearby Lucky’s. Getting behind the man next in line, she began to chat about inconsequential matters. It was an enjoyable conversation; even the cashier chimed in, now and then. Then he offered to buy her coffee. At first she refused, but he was adamant. So the woman accepted the gift and thanked him graciously. Conversing was fun but not flirty. The casual talk made her day and the gift of coffee made her week. He was just a nice guy being nice to a stranger. “Little acts of kindness make a community wholesome and we will always benefit,” added one of the survey responders. And, usually, these random acts are easy. Visit www.randomactsofkindness.org to learn more.

And Other Lessons from an Accidental Manage by Hank Gilman You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. As far as you can see, that old saying - a reminder that

being nice works better than being a jerk - holds true for every boss you’ve ever had.

The manager who compliments while criticizing, privately. The supervisor who surprises the staff with cold

treats on a hot day. The boss who just lets you do your job. You’ve worked for them all, and

you’ve toiled for their opposites. But what kind of boss are you? Read the new book “You Can’t Fire Everyone” by Hank Gilman and find out. You don’t get to be Deputy Managing Editor of Fortune magazine without working your way there, and Hank Gilman has done exactly that. Gilman spent time in small local newsrooms as well as with big-city dailies. He’s seen colleagues come and go. He’s seen his share of good managers and bad ones, all of whom taught him to be a better boss himself. In this book, he explains how you can manage to get the best out of your employees. The first lesson, says Gilman, is that everyone who works for you has flaws. Conversely, everybody has strengths. It’s your job to find those strengths, then get out of the way and let employees use them. You, of course, want to like the people you work with (otherwise, they wouldn’t be your employees, right?) but understand that being friends isn’t truly possible. There will be hard decisions to make someday and they may then hate you, so keep employees close but keep them at arms’ length, too. And even if you have favorites, don’t practice favoritism. On that note, keep your stars happy but don’t create a “class system.” Know the Cardinal Sins of Hiring and avoid them. Think before speaking. Remember that the day a good employee leaves for another job is the day to start recruiting her back. Give the right people the right jobs and give them feedback. Answer all emails and return phone calls. Learn to do the Donald Trump thing correctly and don’t be afraid to be fired yourself. And when you start

Page 29

arriving at work angry, know that it’s time to go. So “manager” was never in your DNA? No worries… that’s why “You Can’t Fire Everyone” is around. With solid advice, a touch of winking snarkiness, and a good dose of droll, author Hank Gilman offers his readers career advice entwined with behindthe-scenes anecdotes straight from the publishing world. New managers and managers-to-be will appreciate Gilman’s willingness to use his own experiences to illustrate that mistakes are going to be made and that you’ll live through them. And any manager who’s been around the Big Desk for awhile, will find Gilman’s in-the-trenches stories entertaining, no matter what your industry. If you’re getting ready to move up at work or if you’re already the boss, you’ll find this book to be fun and extremely helpful. For you – and for your employees –“You Can’t Fire Everyone” is a honey of a read.

Proposed shark fin ban makes waves in San Fran BY ROBIN HINDERY ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO (AP), May 06 - A California proposal to outlaw the title ingredient in shark fin soup, a traditional Chinese delicacy, has turned into a recipe for controversy in San Francisco, home to the nation's oldest Chinatown. A bill moving through the state Legislature would ban the sale, distribution and possession of shark fins. Supporters say shark finning is inhumane and a threat to the ocean ecosystem. But critics say the consumption of shark fins is a cherished part of Chinese culture. In San Francisco, the debate has pulled in Chinese basketball star Yao Ming, who appears in anti-finning ads on city buses and billboards. Shark fins may prove an unexpected ingredient in this year's mayoral race, which includes three prominent Asian Americans. Two have come out for the ban, while one opposes it.

JASON DEAREN ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO (AP), May 06 A group of Central Valley irrigation districts that supply water to farms and cities have filed a lawsuit against federal fisheries managers seeking to stop the first full commercial salmon fishing season off the California coast in years. The San Joaquin River Group Authority filed the suit on Thursday in federal district court in Fresno. It argues that the National Marine Fisheries Service and its related agencies violated their duty to protect the threatened Sacramento River fall run of Chinook salmon by allowing a full commercial season. If the fish continue recent population declines and become a federally endangered species, the authority's members would be forced to release more of their

water to increase river flows, said Allen Short, the authority's coordinator who is also general manager of the Modesto Irrigation District. "The potential that additional water would have to be released to address dangers for endangered salmon could have a negative impact to our agriculture and industrial customers," Short said. The authority is comprised of irrigation districts in Modesto, Merced, Turlock, Oakdale and the South San Joaquin Irrigation District, among others. San Francisco is also a member of the authority. After predictions of a more robust salmon return this year, commercial fishermen on May 1 opened the first fulllength season since 2007. Cancelled seasons in 2008 and 2009 and a shortened season in 2010 left many fishermen struggling to make a living. But federal fisheries managers esti-

News that Microsoft Inc. would buy Internet telephone service Skype for $8.5 billion in cash signaled that companies were starting to spend - buoying confidence that stocks would continue to rise. The takeover would be Microsoft's largest in its 36-year history. It follows AT&T Inc.'s announcement in March that it would buy T-Mobile USA for

mated 730,000 Chinook would return to the Sacramento River this fall. This run of salmon provides many of the fish caught off California and southern Oregon, and has been plummeting in numbers in recent years. The lawsuit filed Thursday is just the latest salvo in the battle between fishing and agriculture interests over the reasons behind the precipitous declines of fall run Chinook salmon in recent years. The rebound that accounted for this year's commercial season is in part because of improved ocean conditions, each side agrees. But in 2008, a federal court imposed restrictions on the huge delta pumps that move water to farms and cities while litigation over the fate of the salmon and the tiny Delta smelt was heard. These restrictions, which allowed more water to flow in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, give the fish a

better chance of surviving the swim through the delta and out through the Golden Gate to the Pacific Ocean. Some believe this year's expected rebound is not just a coincidence, and the improved flows are working. Zeke Grader, president of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Association, a commercial fishing industry group, said the idea that fishing is a threat to the overall health of the salmon fishery is misguided. The winter and spring runs of Chinook salmon are already on the endangered species list and are not impacted by commercial fishing, he said. “I've never seen anything quite so mean-spirited as this,” Grader said of the lawsuit. “Here they come along trying to blame us and trying to close us down. Isn't it enough our fish were destroyed? Now they try to tell us we can't fish.”

Earnings reports from companies in the energy sector German utility E.ON AG, Austria's OMV AG and A.P. Moller Maersk in Denmark were all strong on Wednesday.

U.S. futures pointed toward a higher Wall Street opening, with Dow futures up 0.1 percent at 12,718 and S&P futures 0.2 percent higher at 1,356.40. The improvement in market sentiment helped mask worries in Europe about the financial future of Greece, which is still struggling with debt a year after it got a bailout. European officials say the country may soon be offered more support - with an announcement possible at Monday's meeting of eurozone

May 13, 2011

finance ministers - but that more reforms would be attached. EU governments want to make sure Greece implements austerity measures and economic reforms before offering more financial aid. That has pushed back talk of a restructuring of Greece's debt - a change in its debt repayment terms - which could cause large losses for banks across Europe. Though analysts warn that some form of restructuring may ultimately be required, the prospect of more short-term support for Greece has improved investor confidence

Consumer prices in April rose 5.3 percent over a year earlier, driven by an 11.5 percent jump in food costs. Persistently high inflation has led the People's Bank of China to hike interest rates and take other measures to reduce the amount of money sloshing around the economy. The latest inflation figures could put additional pressure on the central bank to keep controls on lending and liquidity - resulting in

less money to put into stocks. The mainland Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0.3 percent to 2,883.42 while the smaller Shenzhen Composite Index rose 0.2 percent to 1,212.27. Benchmark crude for June delivery was down 29 cents to $103.59 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Hedge fund founder convicted in inside-trade case BY TOM HAYS AND LARRY NEUMEISTER ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK (AP), May 11 - A former Wall Street titan was convicted Wednesday of making a fortune by coaxing a crew of corporate tipsters into giving

him an illegal edge on blockbuster trades in technology and other stocks - what prosecutors called the largest insider trading case ever involving hedge funds. Sri Lanka-born Raj Rajaratnam was convicted of five conspiracy counts and nine securities fraud charges at the

closely watched trial in federal court in Manhattan. The jury had deliberated since April 25, and at one point was forced to start over again when one juror dropped out due to illness. Prosecutors had alleged the 53-year-old Rajaratnam made profits and avoided losses total-

ing more than $60 million from illegal tips. His Galleon Group funds, they said, became a multibillion-dollar success at the expense of ordinary stock investors who didn't have advance notice of the earnings of public companies and of mergers and acquisitions.

On Wednesday, Rajaratnam sat at the defense table, a rarity for him at the trial, and stayed motionless as the verdict was read. He will remain free on bail, though now with eleccontinued on page 34

f you live in the San Francisco Bay Area (or you’re visiting) and you want to do some wine tasting, consider Livermore. Yes, Livermore is not just another pretty name, and Livermore wine country is a seriously overlooked alterna-

tive to the more famous Napa and Sonoma. Proximity to the Silicon Valley makes it an easy day. Once you hit Highway 84 toward Livermore, it’s like you’re in a different world, a more bucolic world. I guess that’s why Livermore is considered a “cowboy town.” But don’t let that name fool you. Livermore is full of Silicon Valley commuters who moved here looking for a simpler, less hectic life. The older ranchers and Livermore lab scientists make for an eclectic population where almost nothing surprises. Cattle and horses

line the highway. The occasional deer, coyote, raccoon, and rabbit may appear on a hillside or in front of your car… be careful! If very observant, you’ll see wild turkeys as well. The countryside will briefly give way to the evergrowing housing developments but don’t be alarmed; a right turn at Concannon Drive will place you back in grapevinecovered countryside. Wineries are pretty well marked along the way. Besides the award winning wines made in Livermore, there are many more advantages to a wine tasting experience here. HINT: Scenic Highway 84 looks down upon the beautiful Tri-Valley and the ever-growing town of Livermore. But, you can also get to Livermore wine country from highway 580. Not as scenic but easier access for some. Another great advantage of Livermore Wine Country is the lack of traffic compared to Napa and Sonoma. Even on weekends there are only a handful of cars at any given winery, and ample parking. The exception is an event like a wedding, barrel tasting or the annual wine festival. On that subject, consider one of the beautiful venues in Livermore if you are throwing a party or wedding. HINT: There’s a huge Portuguese influence in Livermore so study up on your Portuguese grape varieties. Grapes you may never have heard of like Mourvedre, Alvarelhao, and

Tempranillo are fun for a change. Don’t worry though, there’s plenty of Cabernet and Pinot Noir to go around. At quick glance there are over 50 wineries in Livermore and believe me, unless you have built up a high resistance to alcohol, or you “taste and spit,” it’s not advisable to visit more than four on any given trip without a designated driver. The healthy pours and heavy emphasis on reds will have you lightheaded after one or two tasting rooms. In fact, there are

several places that taste over 10 wines on any given day. Join a club and receive free tasting and even more generous pours. I have a friend who’s a member of one of the nicest wineries and our pours were such that six “tastes” made up about three full glasses. Oh yeah, there are tasting fees of about $5 but that’s half of Napa prices. Moreover, buy a bottle of wine and your tasting fee is waived. HINT: If you’re interested, most of the wine makers work

the wine bar at their respective wineries. They are more than willing to talk to you and tell you (almost) all they know. I won’t name specific wineries in this article because, frankly, you can’t go wrong trying a few different ones each time you visit. However, I will tell you about a few things I’ve discovered and maybe it’ll be like a scavenger hunt for you. There is one winery on your way into Livermore that offers 12 to 20 wines for tasting on any given day. Another winery

May 13, 2011

has a fantastic wine maker who is in his early 20’s. One winery behind gates and by invitation only, has fantastic reds and a wonderful staff. Yet another has pourers that will describe in detail the various aromas of the wines including descriptions like “leather” and “cigar box.” If you prefer to be left alone, that’s OK too. Unpretentious winery workers are a refreshing change from the wine snob who is surprised that you did not identify the “hint of cassis” in “his or her” freshly released Chardonnay. You won’t find wine snobs here. In fact, it’s common for a pourer to recommend another winery (“with a to-die-for Chardonnay”) down the road for your next stop. HINT: For a little fun, stop the pourers from describing the wine before you taste and try to discern the flavors and scents by yourself. Then have the pourer confirm or deny your tastes. Speaking of stops, the best way to plan a trip to Livermore for wine tasting is to get a map,

Page 33

easily found by Googling “Livermore Winery Map.” Of course you can visit the big wineries of Livermore like Wente and Concannon, but it’s more fun to discover new wines that you can’t buy at Safeway. Many times the best wines will be released in limited quantities so you’d better get that Petit Syrah “to die for” while you can. Use the map to select target wineries but don’t be afraid to stray from your original plan. You can simply return later and pick up where you left off. Most long term residents of Livermore will tell you that they’ve been wine tasting for years and still have not visited all the wineries. Some wineries have picnic grounds and restaurants. At least one has a bocce ball court. You’ll see where the owners place their priorities. Most live on the premises and most upgrade their wineries before they upgrade their homes. Consider utilizing the beautiful picnic grounds at some of the winer-

ies; bring cheese, crackers, caviar, fois gras, plus chocolate to nibble with the darker red wines. Also bring bottled water. Most of the grounds are kidfriendly too but remember the tasting room is not a playhouse. Livermore residents will tell you that they used to go to downtown Pleasanton for evening time strolls and dinner, but for years Livermore has been upgrading its downtown. Today, you will rarely see residents traveling anywhere but downtown Livermore for dinner and drinks. Livermore is an ethnic mecca for food: Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, Greek, Italian, Indian, Swiss fondue or just a good old fashioned burger can all be found within a three block area of downtown. Consider having a nice meal there after wine tasting. You’ll find many of the wines you’ve just tasted on the menus. Some restaurants reduce their corkage fees for Livermore produced wines so don’t hesitate to ask if you can

open that special Petit Syrah you just purchased. Livermore is definitely a good alternative to Napa for wine tasting adventures. Great wines, good people, no traffic, no snobbery, and delicious food can make for a filling an fulfilling day.

Hedge fund founder convicted in inside-trade case tronic monitoring, at least until his July 29 sentencing. Prosecutors said Rajaratnam faces a maximum term of more than 19 years in prison. U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said the verdict sends a message that white collar laws apply to everyone, “no matter how much money you have.” The defendant “was among the best and the brightest, one of the most educated, successful and privileged professionals in the country,” Bharara said in a statement. “Yet, like so many others, he let greed and corruption cause his undoing.” Outside court, with Rajaratnam at his side, defense attorney John Dowd said there will be an appeal filed with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Of the 37 trades that the government sought to prosecute, he added, only 14 made it to trial. “The score is 23-14, in favor of the defense,” he said. “We'll see you in the 2nd Circuit.” The verdict came after seven weeks of testimony showcasing wiretaps of Rajaratnam wheeling and dealing behind the scenes with corrupt executives and consultants. Some of the people on the other end of the line pleaded guilty and agreed to take the witness stand against him. Authorities said the 45 tapes used in the case represented the most extensive use to date of wiretaps - common in organized crimes and drug cases - in a white-collar case. The defense had fought hard in pretrial hearings to keep the avalanche of audio evidence out of the trial by arguing the FBI obtained it with a faulty warrant. Once a judge allowed them in, prosecutors put the recordings to maximum use by repeatedly

playing them for jurors. “You heard the defendant commit his crimes time and time again in his own words,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Reed Brodsky said in closing arguments. “The tapes show he didn't believe the rules applied to him,” the prosecutor added. “Cheating became part of his business model.” The wiretaps appeared to play prominently in the jurors' deliberations: They asked to return to the courtroom countless times so they could listen to them again. U.S. District Judge Richard Holwell told jurors not to talk about the deliberations. After they were dismissed, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Streeter immediately asked the judge to jail Rajaratnam, arguing that his overseas bank accounts and properties gave him the means to flee the country. The prospect of a lengthy prison term also gave him “tremendous incentive” to go underground, Streeter said. But the judge ruled that Rajaratnam could remain free on $100 million bail as long as he was placed under house arrest at his Manhattan home. When the courtroom emptied, the defendant paced around and looked somber as he waited to meet with his lawyers. The defense had argued that the tapes revealed nothing more than that Rajaratnam was doing his duty by asking questions about information already circulating in the ``real world'' of high finance. “That happens every day on Wall Street,” Dowd told the jury. “There's nothing wrong with it.” Dowd headed a team of attorneys who crowded around the defense table

each day. The defendant took an uncustomary position on a bench behind them and listened along with jurors as his voice filled the courtroom. In one July 29, 2008, call, Rajaratnam could be heard grilling former Goldman Sachs board member Rajat Gupta about whether the board had discussed acquiring a commercial bank or an insurance company. “Have you heard anything along that line?” Rajaratnam asked Gupta. “Yeah,” Gupta responded. “This was a big discussion at the board meeting.” Prosecutors sought to maximize the impact of the Gupta tape by calling Goldman Sach's chairman Lloyd Blankfein to testify that the phone call violated the investment bank's confidentiality policies. Gupta, who has not been charged, has denied any wrongdoing. The government also has played tapes of Rajaratnam it said proved he was trading secrets and orchestrating cover-ups with fellow hedge fund manager Danielle Chiesi, who has pleaded guilty in the case. “I mean I think this stock could go up $10 you know? But we got to keep this radio silence,” Rajaratnam said in one tape. “Oh please. That is my pleasure,” Chiesi responded. “Not even to your little boyfriends, you know?” “No, believe me, I don't have friends,” she replied. Rajaratnam advised Chiesi to buy 1 million shares of tech stock on an inside tip, then sell 500,000 of those shares - a tactic prosecutors say was used to throw regulators off the trail. In another instance, about 30 minutes of calls with an Intel tipster scored Ra-

jaratnam a $2 million windfall on the computer chip-maker's stock, prosecutors said. Former financial consultant Anil Kumar testified that he and Rajaratnam - his former classmate at the University of Pennsylvania's prestigious Wharton School - broke the law by speaking regularly about the negotiations over the acquisition of ATI Technologies Inc. by Kumar's client, Advanced Micro Devices Inc., before the deal was announced. “I told him that this was ‘red hot’ and shouldn't be discussed,” Kumar said. Later, he said he cautioned the defendant, “This is going to be a complete shock to the industry ... so treat this with the strictest of confidence.” Prosecutors say Rajaratnam raked in $20 million by trading on his advance notice of the ATI-AMD deal. Afterward, he called Kumar at home and said, “You're a star,” Kumar told the jury in federal court in Manhattan. When Rajaratnam later informed Kumar that he would be rewarded with a $1 million kickback, “I almost fell off my chair,” the witness said. The Galleon probe has resulted in more than two dozen arrests and 21 guilty pleas. It also has led to a second investigation aimed at consultants in the securities industry who pass off inside information as the product of legitimate research. Only Rajaratnam has gone to trial and relived conversations that the insiders never suspected were being monitored. On one tape, Rajaratnam sounded sheepish when one particularly effusive tipster praised him for being a star in the hedge fund universe. “The myth,'' Rajaratnam said, “is larger than the reality.” qqq

esides keeping pets healthy, pet owners also need to ensure that their pets are getting adequate stimulation and entertainment for the day. Having a well socialized pet will keep your pet entertained, less destructive, more relaxed in the evenings, and lead to a healthier and happier life. Being left all alone at home with nothing to do is lonely for just about everyone. It is no surprise that pets left home alone with nothing to do will become bored and misbehave. Dogs may start barking incessantly while cats meow. Other dangerous habits pets can get into include destroying furniture, urinating or defecating in inappropriate places, self mutilation by licking, biting, and scratching neurotically. These problems can happen due to the petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increased stress and anxiety level when isolated for so many hours of the day. Increased anxiety can result in fearfulness, behavior problems and/or aggression. Exercise Providing daily exercise for your pet is both necessary and relaxing. Staying active allows your pet to socialize and playing creates a strong bond between both of you. It also keeps your pet healthy and lean. A minimum of 30 minutes of exercise is recommended daily, although some breeds may need much more.

Toys The pet industry has created mentally stimulating toys that prevent boredom. Hard nylontype toys can be stuffed with various treats that are released slowly after the pet has spent some time working on the task. There are other mind stimulating puzzles that release treats at pre-defined time intervals. This keeps your pet busy throughout the day. Cats love to climb and exercise their claws. Cat furniture with towers and scratching posts are available that stimulate your cat to exercise and engage in daily activity.

Doggie Day Care Doggie day care centers are a growing trade that specializes in the care of dogs when pet owners are away at work. These facilities provide daily structured activity for your pets and lots of playing and socialization. Day care centers have been shown to teach dogs how to play appropriately with other dogs, and increase their confidence. Dogs, by nature, are very social animals thanks to domestication. Allowing dogs to interact with humans and other dogs is important, something all pet owners should encourage.

Entertainment Turning on the television or radio while you are away can provide visual and auditory distractions for pets; special DVDs are available. One of my feline patients, Lilo, really enjoys watching a DVD featuring various fish species. Get a second pet Get a pet for the pet! I know this may sound like more work, but in many cases getting a second pet provides companionship and socialization. Frequently, pet owners are choosing to purchase two cats or two dogs at the same time so they have each other when human companions are out of the house. Please consult your veterinarian before you decide to embark on this path.

Reductions of State funding and increasing demand for library services were cited as reasons for initiating an $80 annual library card fee for non-residents of the District, effective July 1, 2011. “We know how popular and valuable the Santa Clara County Library District services and programs are, but we have to have the funding to continue to offer them to non-residents,” said County of Santa Clara Supervisor Liz Kniss, Delegate to the Santa Clara County Library District Joint Powers Authority. “There will continue to be no fee for residents of the Library District.” Since 1988, the State has reimbursed public libraries for lending materials to non-residents of their district, and any resident of California could get a card at any public library in the state. Demands for service have increased to a point that the Santa Clara County Library District lends far more books to non-residents than District residents borrow from other libraries. At one time, the Library received over $2 million annu-

ally to partially reimburse the cost of this service. The Governor’s proposed budget includes the elimination of $30.4 million in state funding for three of California’s most valuable public library programs: The Public Library Foundation, the California Literacy Program and the Transaction Based Reimbursement, a cooperative system of borrowing and loaning books that has existed statewide for several decades. The State Budget for Fiscal Year 2012 eliminates all funding for public libraries, including those that are part of the Santa Clara County Library District. “Everyone is welcome to visit and use materials in the Library, regardless of where they live,” said Dion Bracco, Chair of the Santa Clara County Library District Joint Powers Authority. “This non-resident fee to enjoy Santa Clara County Library District services is comparable to the average of non-resident fees charged by public libraries nationwide and to what it costs the Santa Clara County Library District per capita to operate the Library.” Visit Santa Clara County Library online at www.santaclaracountylib.org

Which tech tools do experts use when they travel? BY SCOTT MAYEROWITZ AP AIRLINES REPORTER SUBMITTED BY MARISA LONG The U.S. Department of Education recently announced the creation of the Green Ribbon Schools program, which will recognize schools that have taken great strides in greening their curricula, buildings, school grounds and overall building operations. The program, celebrated during a tree planting ceremony at the Department of Education headquarters, will help cash-strapped schools save money and prepare students for 21st Century jobs. The Green Ribbon School awards will be given to schools that best exemplify America’s transition to a sustainable economy, from graduating environmentally literate students to effectively managing their carbon footprint. As budget crunches hit school systems across the nation, the Department of Education is providing an innovative solution through the Green Ribbon Schools program to encourage school systems to take a comprehensive approach to becoming a green school by cutting expenses through energy efficiency and green building measures, while at the same time using these sustainable school improvements as part of their efforts to educate students about science, technology and the environment. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that smarter energy management in schools, which spent between $6-8 billion in 2000 on energy, could reduce energy consumption by as much as 25 percent and cut school energy costs nationally by more than $1 billion annually. According to 75 national and state organizations that supported

the push for the initiative, many states have already established either green school programs or environmental literacy plans. The Green Ribbon program will unify and acknowledge such efforts under a voluntary national award intended to stress innovation and new strategies in environmental curriculum development, teacher training, facilities management, operations and community engagement, with criteria developed by the Department of Education. “Environmental literacy is an important part of a well-rounded, world-class education,” Education Secretary Arne Duncan said. “Through the Green Ribbon Schools program, we’ll be holding up schools that are leading the way in teaching science and in ways that show students the importance of developing clean energy sources and sustainable solutions for the environment.” Launched at the behest of teachers, principals, students and others supporters across the country, the program is to be modeled on the nearly 30-year-old Blue Ribbon Schools program, which recognizes schools whose student bodies have displayed high academic achievement or improvement. The effort to get the Green Ribbon program adopted by the Department was conceived and coordinated by the Campaign for Environmental Literacy (CEL), and the Green Ribbon campaign's steering committee – CEL, Earth Day Network, the National Wildlife Federation and the U.S. Green Building Council - worked for over a year to make this happen.

NEW YORK (AP), May 03 - With the busy summer vacation season quickly approaching, The Associated Press asked several travel experts about their favorite tools for travel. Needless to say, applications for Apple's iPhone and iPad were high on most lists, but there are still plenty of great tools out there for other smartphone users and even those with just regular cell phones. Ray LaHood, U.S. Secretary of Transportation: ``When I fly for work or to visit my family, I want a flight that will be on time. That's why I'm glad passengers can now check the websites of the larger airlines to find the ontime record of each of the flights they are considering before they purchase a ticket. You can learn how often that flight arrives on time - within 15 minutes of schedule - as well as how often it arrives more than 30 minutes late. You also can find out if a flight has been canceled 5 percent or more of the time.'' Rob Katz, chairman and CEO Vail Resorts: ``When I'm traveling around the U.S. I use Yelp. It helps me quickly find almost any amenity and has reviews and additional information. I also use Open Table quite a bit.'' Christopher J. Nassetta, president and CEO Hilton Worldwide: ``I never leave for a trip without my iPad. Not only do I keep connected to the office on it via email and other applications, but I also keep current with the

news, such as reading the Wall Street Journal online. When I'm traveling with my kids, it has also come in handy to have some games loaded on my iPad to keep them busy.'' Samantha Brown, Travel Channel host: ``I spent all last year traveling to Asia and after weeks of being fed a TV diet of only the BBC I could hum their theme music with absolute perfection and imitate up to four distinct British accents. So for me Slingbox is one of the most ingenious ideas I had ever heard for the international traveler. Essentially thru a box and a program, my laptop becomes my home TV so no matter where I am in the world I can watch my favorite DVRed shows from 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' to '30 Rock' to 'Meet the Press.' Only problem? Even 10,000 miles away my husband and I can still fight over the remote.'' Chesley B. ``Sully'' Sullenberger, retired U.S. Airways pilot: ``Some helpful websites when booking travel include SeatGuru.com, TripAdvisor.com, Kayak.com, Yapta.com, and Bing.com. INRIX Traffic helps get you to the airport on time by showing traffic speeds and delays, and can even predict traffic speeds at certain times. When traveling, Weather.com is always a great help and the AirWX app is a tool that pilots use to get detailed aviation weather reports and forecasts, but it's also useful for the general public to check weather at departure and arrival airports because the reports are decoded into

plain language. Also, FlightAware.com provides live flight tracking, iTranslate.com is useful for international travel and MileBlaster.com tracks the use of frequent flier miles.'' Pauline Frommer, travel guidebook writer: ``When I get out of New York City I like to do something I can't do at home: look at the stars. I really enjoy the app Star Walk as it allows me to recognize constellations, even if I'm on the other side of the world and the night sky looks quite different. Sounds silly, but it really enhances my travels, especially when I'm in a nature destination and there's not much to look at but the night sky.'' Nina Zagat, co-founder of Zagat Survey: ``When Tim and I are traveling in our car, we love having our in-car navigation system to guide us and our Bluetooth to make our calls. I rely on my BlackBerry for my contacts, itineraries and packing lists as well as to keep up with my emails and to have a handy nightlight.'' Thomas Stuker, United Airlines top frequent flier with 9.75 million miles: ``My two favorites, especially with all the international travel is Skype both on my computer and now on my phone - to stay connected with friends and business associates around the world for just pennies and my second one is Slingbox - again on both my computer and my phone - so I can watch my Bulls and Blackhawks in the playoffs as well as my Cubbies attempt in vain to win the World Series for the 100-plus year in a row.''
