SIDEWALK PROTEST in the Peninsula on Inauguration Day Along El Camino Real, in all cities from San Francisco to San Jose Friday, January 20, 2017, Noon to 1:00 pm To everyone who lives, works, and studies in the Counties of San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara: If you are deeply concerned about the rhetoric and policies of the incoming administration, come out of your homes, work places, schools, and churches on Inauguration Day, January 20. Go to the section of El Camino Real closest to you and let’s all do a sidewalk protest for one hour, starting at noon.  It is LEGAL to protest on a sidewalk without a permit as long as you are not obstructing the free flow of vehicles and people. City of Palo Alto | City Clerk's Office | 12/27/2016 5:25 PM 2  Come in groups. Organize your families, friends, churches, co-workers, classes, nonprofit organizations, affinity groups, etc. If possible, have a big sign with your group’s name. (Of course, individuals are also welcome.)  Bring banners and signs expressing whatever concerns you the most about the new administration. Be direct and clear, but PLEASE, no hateful or violent language.  Stand on the sidewalk in a line, facing the road. DO NOT BLOCK TRAFFIC, PEDESTRIANS, DRIVEWAYS, OR BUILDING ENTRANCES. Do not use sound amplifying equipment.  If a section of sidewalk becomes congested, move down to an empty stretch and line that gap.  Do not litter. Be considerate. Follow all laws.  Take photos and video of your protest and share on social media. If you are so inclined, sing!  At 1:00 o’clock, we’ll peacefully disperse. If we come out in force, we’ll line up in strings of humanity along El Camino Real down the length of the Bay Area Peninsula. Let’s show that we will stand our ground and fight for tolerance, decency, shared prosperity, and democracy in our country!

He shouldn't get a raise. That is more than enough to have a comfortable life. I think some people have forgotten the meaning of civil service. I don't think it was ever meant to be as lucrative as it is to many people but some people have made it that way. The same applies to politicians in Congress. Too many of those people want to stay in office because its become so cushy and pays well.

Funded by (merely) Nat. Cancer Institute To: Loran Harding <loran.harding@stanfordalumni.org> Thurs. Dec. 23, 2016 To all- Here is more re aspirin cutting the chance of pancreatic c. This study from Yale and funded by the National Cancer Institute is from 2014, so this has been out there for two+ years. Pancreatic is one of the very worst. It killed my mother at age 83. On the left when this opens see "Cancer- The Emperor of all Maladies". Excellent and scary. Click on that and I think you can see all episodes. I saw a couple of them and it is hair-raising. For a very Merry Christmas, watch and dwell on all of that. Or, just watch it if you have run out of things to worry about. Don't go gung-ho on taking aspirin. It is not innocuous. It can burn a hole in your stomach and cause lots of other trouble. It can reduce the chance of one type of stroke, but increase the chance of another type. It seems to reduce the chance of heart attacks and the chance of colorectal cancer. Now we learn that it also reduces the chance of pancreatic c. Talk to your doctor. City of Palo Alto | City Clerk's Office | 12/27/2016 5:26 PM 3 I'm taking that daily 81 mg. aspirin with, with food and lots of water. http://www.aacr.org/Newsroom/Pages/News-Release-Detail.aspx?ItemID=561#.WF25upBTG75 L.
