Christopher Caen: Friday Footsteps: San Francisco Nostalgia
Early morning, early in a new year. The fog has attached itself to every building downtown, like scarves draped across shoulders. It's cold, but not cold enough, so I strap on my shoes and decide to go for a run through the town.
Almost by divine hand, I head towards the waterfront, setting my sights on the Ferry Building. Any New Year's run through San Francisco is going to be as much a run into the past as a run into the future. For some reason the Ferry Building seems like the obvious starting place, a phoenix that has arisen just like the waterfront around it. I can still squint and make out the outline of the Embarcadero Freeway, strangling our shores like a concrete python. Then it went down, the sightlines came back, and everyone remembered what was there all along.
A hard left and I start working my way north along Herb Caen Way. Running along the waterfront always creates a collision of past and present. Refurbished finger piers stand next to their condemned brothers next door. Once little steam engines used to trundle up and down the waterfront, depositing cargo for the freighters that lined our shores down to India Basin. I wonder if those little engines ever had dreams of becoming Market Street trolleys?
No time to think about that as I continue to slog my way north. TCHO Chocolates now occupies Pier 17, and yes, I have availed myself of a tour there... which I am regretting this particular morning with each footstep. I was first introduced to TCHO courtesy of Russell Jackson at Lafitte, who weaved some of their early products into the best ice cream I have ever tasted.
Places that are here, places that have passed. A waterfront that no longer bustles with shipping, a sad reminder of all the things that Harry Bridges fought for and now are long gone. I peer up Broadway, seeing in my mind's eye where the final ramp would disgorge the cars from the Embarcadero Freeway onto Broadway, dropping tourists and commuters smack dab into the middle of our red light district. How is that for thinking ahead folks?
But shipping and Carol Doda and Earthquake Magoon's are disappearing behind me in more ways than one, bits and pieces of our collective history chipping off our city and sliding into the bay like a calving iceberg. Now our shipping is constrained to the terminal for the cruise ships, but this foggy morning there are none to be seen.
I do the big turn around the Christmas tree at Pier 39 to start my way back. The Eagle Caf? sits snuggly on its perch, a long way from where it started. Actually, I am being literal about that. The caf? used to live further down on the waterfront, and was literally put on wheels and rolled down to its current location. That is San Francisco in a nutshell... a little bit of our past together with a little bit of our present.
But I can't think about that too much as I start pounding back down the waterfront, because something very strange is happening. As I start to work my way back, I start to see more of our past, as though my sight has suddenly gone into reverse. Flicka McGurrin's Pier 23 is still here, and as I jog past I can almost hear the San Francisco Jazz coming out the door. Not ragtime folks, please never call our music ragtime. That would make Turk Murphy roll over in his grave.
I am starting to find a new gear as I steam past the Ferry Building, and for a moment I can see the little wooden control tower that used to stand outside, controlling the chaos known as the "Roar of the Four," when multiple trolley companies competed on the four great pairs of tracks that ran up and down Market Street.
The past is all around me now. I run past the Ferry Building and peek behind, seeing for a moment a gaggle of Key System ferries jostling for position before they head across the bay. As I move south I can see the pilings of piers that have long since fallen into the bay... but now I see them all. Red's Java House is now pulling into view as I pick up speed, but I have other plans in mind. I am heading all the way down to China Basin, because I don't see a ballpark or expensive condos, I see fields and railway yards and a small shack on the bridge called Blanches, and a burger is calling my name.
I wonder where my kids will run? I wonder where their mind's eye will wander. We live in a magical place where sometimes we forget that one scratch on the present brings up history, gushing out with names and places. Do you care? Does anyone anymore? I get the word this week that the venerable Gold Dust Saloon on Powell is going to be pushed out for another baubles and bottles boutique. Does anyone care? We will find out, because Saturday at 6pm what is being called "Occupy Gold Dust" will happen. We will meet there together, we will remember our past, and just maybe, the next time I run, I won't have to run to the past... it will still be here.

Flu Prevention Critical for Those With Neurologic Conditions, CDC Says (HealthDay)
THURSDAY, Jan. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Children and young adults with neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions are at high risk for complications from the flu and should receive flu vaccinations, say health officials who investigated a flu outbreak in Ohio in February 2011.
Of the 130 people living at a residential facility for children and young adults with neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions, 76 (58 percent) developed respiratory illness. Thirteen became severely ill and seven died.
All 13 residents who became severely ill had multiple neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions, which may have hindered early diagnosis and treatment of the flu and contributed to the severity of their illness, said the research team from the Ohio Department of Health and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The investigators said doctors need to watch for signs of flu among children and young adults with neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions, especially during flu season.
Because these people are at high risk for flu-related complications, vaccination should be part of an overall prevention program that also includes giving antiviral drugs in the early stages of flu, ideally within 48 hours of the first symptoms, the researchers said.
The report appears in the Jan. 6 issue of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, published by the CDC.

London 2012 Olympics: 'men with rhythm' have final chance to apply for opening ceremony role
"We need more men - particularly if you have rhythm! This means those of you who can dance but also drum, or do any sport, job, or hobby that involves keeping to time," the description specifies.
"Ceremonies volunteer performers simply need lots of enthusiasm, personality, a positive attitude, huge amounts of energy and a willingness to perform in front of a stadium audience and to millions of people around the world.
"However, to deliver Ceremonies of this scale to a world audience a substantial commitment is required. You must be able to participate in an audition in February and up to two or three rehearsal sessions each week of up to four hours per session from April 2012, and a number of all day rehearsals in the three weeks leading up to each Ceremony."
Men interested in strutting their stuff in the 'Greatest Show on Earth' should register their interest by completing the online application form.
The ceremonies will be directed by Danny Boyle, the man behind Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire and is rumoured to include music by Elgar and a performance from Sir Paul McCartney.
The Government recently increased the budgets for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic and Paralympic Games by an extra ?41m.
The injection of extra public money attracted criticism from some quarters but Locog chair Lord Coe has staunchly defended the decision.
"The opening ceremony will go out to four billion people. It will be the largest piece of television in history. The budget is across four ceremonies and the judgment was made, which I support, that this is a unique opportunity that has been independently assessed at being worth up to ?5 billion in advertising.
"This was a very clear declaration of intent that we want this to be a great show. There's no other opportunity to do that kind of thing to a global audience and I think it was a good decision."

PFT: Manning 'stunned' by Polian dismissal
Getty ImagesIt was a busy Black Monday, as expected. ?The moment we?ll remember years from now is when we learned Colts owner Jim Irsay decided to pull the plug on the Polian era in Indianapolis.
Peyton Manning was among those most surprised.
?I was stunned, I was surprised, I was saddened and just disappointed that it all happened this way,? Manning told ESPN.com?s Chris Mortensen. ?I was actually meeting with Bill [Polian] in the training room and we were talking about my rehab schedule, what I could and couldn?t do in the facility under the new [CBA] and my checkpoints when he was summoned to see Irsay. He actually chuckled and said, ?We?ll see.? ?
There were indications over the last few months that Manning and Polian were not on the same page with certain aspects of Manning?s rehab. That didn?t change the affection Manning had for Polian after everything they accomplished together.
?Bill and I and Chris Polian has been here the whole time, too, had a great ride with tremendous highs and it makes me very sad that this ends on such a negative note,? said Manning.
Polians departure doesn?t mean that Manning is next out the door. In fact, we believe Irsay?s decision makes it more likely that Manning stays.
Tony Dungy joined NBC SportsTalk Monday and was stunned as well. Florio asked Dungy if Polian?s departure would affect whether Manning wanted to stay with the Colts.
?I don?t think so,? Dungy said. ?With what I know, with everyone there, Peyton Manning wants to be a Colt. He wants to finish his career there. Jim Irsay wants him to finish his career there. I don?t think [Polian's departure] will be a factor at all.?

Top Five Energy Industry Stories of 2011 (ContributorNetwork)
Fukushima Nuclear Meltdown: The Associated Press reported on December 27 that the towns near the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant are now ghost towns, left to wandering cows and stray dogs. On March 11, 2011, the area was hit by a 9.0 earthquake and a tsunami. The events caused a nuclear meltdown at the plant that subsequently led to worldwide concern over the safety of nuclear energy and calls for safety measures on new reactors that would help them to withstand the most rare and unimaginable circumstances. Like a 9.0 earthquake.
Solyndra: According to a December 27 article in the San Francisco Chronicle, when California solar startup, Solyndra, shut the doors of its brand new, $528 million federally-funded factory doors and fired its staff late August, the accusations flew. Investigations into the company's bankruptcy led to the discovery of federal loans that were granted due to political ties inside the Energy Department and the White House, preferential treatment, and a rushed approval of a project with questionable potential.
Keystone XL: After the Obama Administration made the decision to delay approval of a project permit for TransCanada's pipeline, which would tie Canadian oil sands to Texas refineries, the issue became a late-year political football. According to a December 23 Reuters article, Obama recently signed into law a temporary payroll tax extension that forces his decision on the pipeline to be made within 60 days. However, with environmentalists opposing the line and Obama facing an election year in which he needs the support of environmentalists, some - including White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer say that the bill forcing Obama's hand on Keystone will ultimately kill the project.
Fracking: It has been considered a shining star for companies such as Halliburton and Schlumberger. That is until the EPA released a draft report in which it blamed fracking fluids for the chemicals found in a Wyoming community's groundwater. Now, according to a mid-December article in Forbes, concerns over the damage that hydraulic fracturing may (or may not) cause - including water pollution, as well as seismic activity - has become a headache-inducing PR problem for oilfield services companies. With new fracking regulations in Colorado and Texas, public meetings to consider the issue in New York and the brink of an oil boom in the communities of the vast Marcellus Shale region, the pros and cons of hydraulic fracturing have become common conversation.
EPA Regulations: There was no shortage this year of discussions about the looming EPA regulations aimed at controlling pollution from coal-fired power plants in the U.S. According to a December 22 report from ABC's Good Morning America, health campaigners were praising the regulations, which would reportedly prevent such things as childhood asthma and bronchitis. However, industry officials were condemning the same regulations for imposing costly upgrades on power plants across the country and forcing the shutdown of older plants.

Stanford archives offer window into Apple origins
PALO ALTO, Calf. (AP) ? In the interview, Steve Wozniak and the late Steve Jobs recall a seminal moment in Silicon Valley history ? how they named their upstart computer company some 35 years ago.
"I remember driving down Highway 85," Wozniak says. "We're on the freeway, and Steve mentions, 'I've got a name: Apple Computer.' We kept thinking of other alternatives to that name, and we couldn't think of anything better."
Adds Jobs: "And also remember that I worked at Atari, and it got us ahead of Atari in the phonebook."
The interview, recorded for an in-house video for company employees in the mid-1980s, was among a storehouse of materials Apple had been collecting for a company museum. But in 1997, soon after Jobs returned to the company, Apple officials contacted Stanford University and offered to donate the collection to the school's Silicon Valley Archives.
Within a few days, Stanford curators were at Apple headquarters in nearby Cupertino, packing two moving trucks full of documents, books, software, videotapes and marketing materials that now make up the core of Stanford's Apple Collection.
The collection, the largest assembly of Apple historical materials, can help historians, entrepreneurs and policymakers understand how a startup launched in a Silicon Valley garage became a global technology giant.
"Through this one collection you can trace out the evolution of the personal computer," said Stanford historian Leslie Berlin. "These sorts of documents are as close as you get to the unmediated story of what really happened."
The collection is stored in hundreds of boxes taking up more than 600 feet of shelf space at the Stanford's off-campus storage facility. The Associated Press visited the climate-controlled warehouse on the outskirts of the San Francisco Bay area, but agreed not to disclose its location.
Interest in Apple and its founder has grown dramatically since Jobs died in October at age 56, just weeks after he stepped down as CEO and handed the reins to Tim Cook. Jobs' death sparked an international outpouring and marked the end of an era for Apple and Silicon Valley.
"Apple as a company is in a very, very select group," said Stanford curator Henry Lowood. "It survived through multiple generations of technology. To the credit of Steve Jobs, it meant reinventing the company at several points."
Apple scrapped its own plans for a corporate museum after Jobs returned as CEO and began restructuring the financially struggling firm, Lowood said.
Job's return, more than a decade after he was forced out of the company he co-founded, marked the beginning of one of the great comebacks in business history. It led to a long string of blockbuster products ? including the iPod, iPhone and iPad ? that have made Apple one of the world's most profitable brands.
After Stanford received the Apple donation, former company executives, early employees, business partners and Mac enthusiasts have come forward and added their own items to the archives.
The collection includes early photos of young Jobs and Wozniak, blueprints for the first Apple computer, user manuals, magazine ads, TV commercials, company t-shirts and drafts of Jobs' speeches.
In one company video, Wozniak talks about how he had always wanted his own computer, but couldn't get his hands on one at a time when few computers were found outside corporations or government agencies.
"All of a sudden I realized, 'Hey microprocessors all of a sudden are affordable. I can actually build my own,'" Wozniak says. "And Steve went a little further. He saw it as a product you could actually deliver, sell and someone else could use."
The pair also talk about the company's first product, the Apple I computer, which went on sale in July 1976 for $666.66.
"Remember an Apple I was not particularly useable for too much, but it was so incredible to have your own computer," Jobs says. "It was kind of an embarkation point from the way computers had been going in these big steel boxes with switches and lights."
Among the other items in the Apple Collection:
? Thousands of photos by photographer Douglas Menuez, who documented Jobs' years at NeXT Computer, which he founded in 1985 after he was pushed out of Apple.
? A company video spoofing the 1984 movie "Ghost Busters," with Jobs and other executives playing "Blue Busters," a reference to rival IBM.
? Handwritten financial records showing early sales of Apple II, one of the first mass-market computers.
? An April 1976 agreement for a $5,000 loan to Apple Computer and its three co-founders: Jobs, Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, who pulled out of the company less than two weeks after its founding.
? A 1976 letter written by a printer who had just met Jobs and Wozniak and warns his colleagues about the young entrepreneurs: "This joker (Jobs) is going to be calling you ... They are two guys, they build kits, operate out of a garage."
The archive shows the Apple founders were far ahead of their time, Lowood said.
"What they were doing was spectacularly new," he said. "The idea of building computers out of your garage and marketing them and thereby creating a successful business ? it just didn't compute for a lot of people."
