Food truck owners begin filing for permits in Alameda
Despite numerous businesses on Alameda Point, there are precious few restaurants but that's about to change. Alameda began taking applications Monday from mobile restaurateurs. San Francisco's Financial District hosts many exotic lunch wagons because there's more than enough people to patronize them as well as regular eateries. For existing mobile restaurants, Alameda presents new opportunities. "I think that's great, the more the merrier for all the trucks," said Josh Yazzie, a food truck employee. "It's a growing business." Though Alameda has many places to eat, many isolated or remote areas such as the College of Alameda, Alameda Point and other business parks have few or no options. "We want to encourage economic development in some of our areas that are underserved by retail," said Jennifer Ott, with the City of Alameda. For Alameda, the trucks are an immediate solution,...

State considers legalizing online gambling to fatten coffers
Illegal online gambling is an estimated $30-billion dollar business worldwide. Now, lawmakers in cash-strapped Calif. want to legalize games, such as online poker, to get a piece of that pie and they could do it this year. "The issue isn't should people bet online. It's happening already," said Democratic Senator Lou Correa of Anaheim. He has a bill to make online poker legal in California. Correa said nationwide, six out of every 10 online gamblers are from California and that legalizing online poker could net $250-million dollars in taxes immediately. "To me, $250-million dollars can hire a lot of teachers for our kids," Correa said. Nevada is far ahead of California. The state has fast tracked efforts to legalize online gambling after the U.S. Department of Justice ruled selling lottery tickets online was legal. Some states view this as opening the door to other types of online gambling. "It's pretty... Read more...

Man’s immigration status puts kidney transplant on hold
A social media campaign is growing for a 35-year-old Oakland man who claims UCSF is denying him kidney transplant surgery because he's an illegal immigrant. Jesus Navarro, slowly dying from kidney failure, said he fears he won't live to see his 3-year-old daughter grow up. "I had insurance," Navarro said. "I had work. I had everything." After 6-and-half years on the kidney transplant recipient list, Navarro made it to the top only to find out surgery would be unlikely because he wouldn't be able to afford the lifetime of follow up care required. As an undocumented worker, Navarro is not entitled to Medicare, which often picks up the bulk of the costs. The Navarro's plight is gaining national attention and support is pouring in as are donations. Since the website went live Thursday, $400 has poured in. Advocate Donald Kagan said UCSF should perform the transplant surgery, because it's the right... Read more...

2012 Super Bowl Commercials Raise Eyebrows
by Michael Dorausch, DC Racy advertisements on Game Day have been raising eyebrows long before GoDaddy Girl Candice Michelle (wife of a chiropractor) was featured in a 2005 wardrobe malfunction Super Bowl Ad, but thanks to the Internet, people can (and do) tweet real-time, their distaste for brands and advertisements using such tactics in marketing. The GoDaddy commercials today tend to attract a lot of negativity, and also a lot of buzz, but what about the others?I'm a sucker for dogs in commercials (my yellow Labrador was a Purina Dog Chow TV star), so this year most of my favorite Super Bowl commercial picks would go to the dogs, likely the Mr. Quiggly Sketchers running shoes ad. But Mr. Quiggly wasn't the only one wearing black and red (and let's face it, few people are searching for Mr. Quiggly). Read more...
