Covad chief resigns after stock drop
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Covad Communications
chief executive Robert E. Knowling Jr. has resigned from
the high-speed Internet access provider, under apparent
pressure after disappointing quarterly results caused the
company's stock to plummet.
............................................new
leadership was in
Covad's ''best interest.'' Knowling, 45, also served as
president and chairman of the board.
Covad's board said it came to mutual agreement with
Knowling on his departure at its regularly scheduled
board meeting...........
Covad last month reported a wider-than-expected
third-quarter loss..........$11.4 million.
Covad's shares have tumbled .................
$66.66 in March to a low of $3.40......... .....
Knowling, .......acknowledged pressure in an
interview in early October with The Associated Press —
just two weeks before the earnings announcement.....
Covad said in a statement the board was searching for a
permanent replacement........

The Library Administration claims it is due to the surge of Internet genealogical
research and therefore there is no longer a need for hands-on original research. This is a diminutive argument in
that good genealogy researchers realize that relying solely on Internet research is not “good research”
and you only have access to the vast majority to
books and records at a library.
It is important to note that Clayton Genealogy Library will be experiencing the most drastic and
severe cutbacks of any branch of the Houston Public Library System. Most local branch libraries will
only see an average reduction of 2-hours per week or
a loss of 105 hours per year and the Downtown Main Library will only loose 3-hours per week or a total
of 156 hours per year whereas Clayton Library will
see a reduction of almost 475-hours per year.
What can you do to help? Write, call or e-mail all of the following and voice your “positive support”
to stop the reduction of Clayton Library hours and
keeping it open three-nights per week.

TOXIC MOLD????
Stachybotrys chartarum
I heard about toxic molds that grow in
homes and other buildings. Should I beconcerned about a serious health risk to me and my family? The hazards presented by molds that may contain mycotoxins should be considered the same as other common molds which can grow in your house. There is always a little mold everywhere - in the air and on many surfaces. There are very few case reports that toxic molds (those containing certain mycotoxins) inside homes can cause unique or rare, health conditions such as pulmonary hemorrhage or memory loss. A common-sense approach should be used for any mold contamination existing inside buildings and homes.
The common health concerns from molds include hay-fever like allergic symptoms. Certain individuals with chronic respiratory disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, asthma) experience difficulty breathing. Individuals with immune suppression are at increased risk for infection from molds.
If you or your family members have these conditions, a qualified medical clinician should be consulted for diagnosis and treatment. For the most part, one should take measures to prevent mold growth in the home.
Q 2) How common is mold, including Stachybotrys chartarum (also known by its
synonyn Stachybotrys atra) in buildings?
Molds are very common in buildings and homes and will grow anywhere indoors where there is moisture. The most common indoor molds are Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Alternaria. We do not have accurate information about how often Stachybotrys chartarum is found in buildings and homes. While it is less common than other mold species it is not rare.
Q 3) How do molds get in the indoor environment and how do they grow?
Molds naturally grow in the indoor environment. Mold spores may also enter your house through open doorways, windows, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Spores in the air outside also attach themselves to people and animals, making clothing, shoes, bags, and pets convenient vehicles for carrying mold indoors. When mold spores drop on places where there is excessive moisture, such as where leakage may have occurred in roofs, pipes, walls, plant pots, or where there has been flooding, they will grow. Many building materials provide suitable nutrients that encourage mold to grow.
Wet cellulose materials, including paper and paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, wood, and wood products, are particularly conducive for the growth of some molds. Other materials such as dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation materials, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery, commonly support mold growth.
What is Stachybotrys chartarum (stachybotrys atra)? Stachybotrys chartarum (also known by its synonym Stachybotrys atra) is a greenish-black mold. It can grow on material with a high cellulose and low nitrogen content, such as fiberboard, gypsum board, paper, dust, and lint. Growth occurs when there is moisture from water damage, excessive humidity, water leaks, condensation, water infiltration, or flooding.
Constant moisture is required for its growth. It is not necessary, however, to determine what type of mold you may have. All molds should be treated the same with respect to potential health risks and removal.
HOUSNITCH ASKED A GOOD FRIEND WHO OWNS AN ENVIORNMENTAL COMPANY WHY SO MANY OF THESE NEW HOMES WOULD HAVE THIS TOXIC MOLD...HIS RESPONSE WAS:
BR@#$%$#@
: They are building these new homes where they can’t breath......they’re too tight..........they don’t make air-conditioners where they pull enough moister from our part of the country so when there’s moister mold growsOur air-conditioners are dehumidifiers but they are made up north and not for SE TX where the humidity is so high they can’t pull enough moister out of the air

YEAH...he registered his companies there after he was caught using City Hall as his
business address.
And that name...Casimiro...BIG financial contributor to Sanchez political care
OK YOU SAY...SO WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH A CITY PROBLEM?
Well, guys....seems that SOMEONE over in PW&E, has been "overlooking" certain building codes
and requirements that you and I as "average" taxpayers couldn't get away with.
A complaint filed with the OIG in January 2002 is still under investigation.
But we can tell you that the lead inspector on this job has retired....and wonder of wonders...
Mr. Melvin Embry director of Code Enforcement is also retiring now!
Coincidence? (naw...WE know better)
HouSnitch has asked the TNRCC to step in to look at this development also.
There are environmental issues, aside firm the toxic mold
found in this condo.
Wanna see how this developer gets rid of his waste?
Now, HouSnitch...you can't prove his people did this!
....WANNA BET???????
By the time we got to a camera the workers were back inside
but they left the empty bucket on the porch.
AHH.... come on now HouSnitch, that was just a bad day from some rogue
workers!...
Don't bet on it!
EVERY CITY DRAINAGE DITCH AROUND THIS PROPERTY WAS FULL OF THIS DEVELOPER'S
GARBAGE.
The OIG and Councilmember Keller,did bring in the HPD "Rat on the Rat"
program and we understand they are proceeding with prosecution against these violations.
BUT AT NO TIME WHEN INSPECTORS WERE COMING AND GOING ON THIS PROPERTY DID ANY OF
THEM WRITE THIS DEVELOPER UP OR WARN HIM TO CLEAN UP HIS SITE.
The first picture we presented to ya'll showing the "CUSTOM" home at 703 Knox and it's accompanying sign
sighting building defects caused us to look back through our pics of this job site.
We believe this owner and others on this site will have MANY problems besides toxic mold.
Look at these photos we have of the cement truck trying to deliver cement.
The ground is so soft and unstable it sunk up to it's axels and had to be towed out.
WE believe every foundation on this property will shift and settle so bad that MANY defects
we become apparent.
Ever wonder how a guy like this treats his workers? If he provides them with the proper tools
in order to do their job?
According to these photos we don't believe he does.
THAT WORKER IS HANGING OFF THAT 3 STORY BUILDING BY AN ELECTRICAL EXTENSION CORD! WITH ONLY THE ONE
WORKER HOLDING HIM.
I GUESS IF YOU CONTRIBUTE ENOUGH MONEY TO SOMEBODY'S CAMPAIGN YOU CAN BASICALLY DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT
WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES AND THE CITY'S ORDINANCES.
CASIMIRO SENT OUT THIS LETTER TO THE RESIDENTS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT AFTER THIS PROPERTY OWNER
HUNG OUT HIS SIGN EXERCISING HIS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH.:

Enron
-----
I think we can learn a few things from the Enron situation.
First, if the president of your company has "killing" built into his
last name (Skilling) and your CEO is named Lay, don't be surprised if something
bad happens to the employees. It's a little-known fact that two other executives
at Enron are named Randy Pooponyour401K and Tim Declarebankruptcy. In
retrospect, all the warning signs were there.
Most observers believe that the Enron executives are devious,
unethical crooks. The only other explanation is that they are the biggest idiots
in the solar system. No matter how outraged you feel about this situation, you
have to be amused by what's coming next: To avoid jail, the executives will have
to convince a jury that they are astonishingly incompetent. That's their only
defense. Watch in delight as the executives spend two years and most of their
fortunes auditioning for the lead role in "I Am Sam." I'd like to be a
fly on the wall when they hire their lawyers.
Defense Lawyer: "My fee is a million dollars an hour."
Enron Executive: "Is that a lot? I'm not good at
accounting."
Defense Lawyer: "It's cheap. In fact, you'll actually be
MAKING money."
Enron Executive: "Woo Hoo!!"
If the Enron executives are lucky, I'll be picked for the jury. I
have a natural bias toward assuming managers are incompetent. And I believe in
being nice to people who have hundreds of millions of dollars and a track record
of contributing to anyone who might help them. Personally, I wouldn't accept a
bribe in exchange for casting a not-guilty vote. But I might accept a
"donation" that would improve their "access" to me. There's
nothing wrong with improving someone's access.
Now let's talk about the unfortunate employees of Enron. If those
employees are like most employees, they've been making personal phone calls on
company time, stealing office supplies, fudging expense reports, lying about
their accomplishments and using sick days for vacations. Compare that to the
executives who allegedly stole hundreds of millions of dollars. The
philosophical question to consider is this: Are the executives LESS honest or
just MORE effective?
I tried out that philosophical question with some of my friends
the other day and they informed me that stealing from a company is okay if you
think the company deserves it and you take less than $1,000 per year. Now when
my friends leave my house, I do a full inventory.

HOUSNITCH HAD LUNCH WITH COUNCILMEMBER VASQUEZ JUST TODAY (AND IT WAS A VERY ENJOYABLE LUNCH!)...HE IS MULLING OVER MANY OPTIONS .... CONTROLLER/MAYOR/CONGRESS.
HOUSNITCH ASKED HIM WHICH WAS IT...HE LAUGHED.
VASQUEZ SAYS IF SANCHEZ RUNS FOR MAYOR, HE WON'T...BUT HE HAS THOUGHT ABOUT CONTROLLER, THOUGH HE'S NOT SO SURE THAT HE WANTS THAT SEAT, HE RATHER ENJOYS BEING "CLOSE TO THE ACTION". CONTROLLER WOULD BE A NUMBERS GAME AND HE PREFERS THE "PEOPLE" GAME.
GABE ASKED HOUSNITCH WHAT SHE THOUGHT HE SHOULD DO...I HONESTLY TOLD HIM TO HANG ON TO HIS LAST 2 YEARS IN OFFICE, THEN TRY FOR A STATE JOB...BUT RAISE AS MUCH HELL AS HE COULD TO GET HIS NAME OUT TO THE PEOPLE.
THE GUY IS A PROFESSOR DAMNIT! HE COULD DO SO MUCH GOOD, IF HE USED THAT PHD. ON SOLVING PROBLEMS.
AS FOR BRINGING HILDA BACK...THAT WOULD TAKE AN 8 VOTE OF COUNCIL TO CHANGE THE CITY POLICY ON FIRED PERSONNEL....HE WOULD NEVER GET IT!

Second Submission of Inquiry/Complaint #192210 from April 2, 20002
Please cite the Texas law, not the METRO Resolutions, that allows METRO to offer "Free Fares" in the manner that you have.
I read in the April 2, 2002 Houston Chronicle where METRO again this year
is offering "Free Fares" to anyone on the Shortstop Shuttle to Astros Field. I am now aware that some programs are reimbursed, many are not!
On 6/21/01, referring to the rubber-tired, motorized trolleys, METRO Chairman Miller is quoted "we agree we ought to get out of the free service business." The free introductory fare for these CBD circulators was initiated in 1998, and remains free as of today. It is clear that METRO is not being reimbursed for this program, and I believe it is illegal, yet METRO refuses to answer inquiries in an honest and straightforward manner.
It is my understanding that METRORAIL intends to offer "Free Fares," and, by having an "honor system" I
fear that METRO does not care if any rider pays to ride the Main Street trolley.
METRO, a state chartered transit organization, does not have authority to grant "Free Fares" under 451.061 of the Texas Transportation code which clearly states: "(a) An authority shall impose reasonable and nondiscriminatory fares, tolls, charges, rents, and other compensation for the use of the transit authority system sufficient to produce revenue,..." and, "Free Fares" are also restricted in Title 66 of Vernons Texas Civil Statutes, article 4008b. Under article 4015b, those who evade the law are subject to fines and imprisonment. If METRO continues to refuse to properly respond with an answer to my simple question, I shall have no alternative but to try and replicate the "Housnitch" tactic, and attempt to take this directly to a grand jury for their interpretation of the law.

MY, MY MY YOU BOYS HAVE BEEN BUSY!AS TO THE REFERENCE YOU MADE CONCERNING HOUSNITCH .... YES WE DID PRESENT OUR CASE AGAINST HILDA GARZA SCOTT TO THE GRAND JURY FORCING THEN DA JOHNNY HOLMES TO PROSECUTE...BUT HE WAS SO MAD WHEN THE INDICTMENTS WERE HANDED DOWN THAT HE DISMISSED THEM.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.
If every person who served a government entity had the good
graces, knowledge and desire to serve the way Anna Russell does, we would all be
better for it. As it is, the City of Houston has its Golden Treasure in
City Secretary Anna Russell......now we need to find a building or project to
name for her....You might find that to be a funny statement to make, but this
year, only thirty years after it was officially named for her predecessor, signs
will be erected designating the City Hall Annex the Margaret Helfrich Westerman
City Hall Annex.....I hope Anna is alive and can enjoy the honor and recognition
of something named for her...CW

A half-century of knowledge
City secretary 'who knows how to keep her mouth shut' has
long, successful
career
By RACHEL GRAVES
Copyright 2002 Houston Chronicle
Anna Russell, Houston's city secretary, predates the building she works in and the technology that keeps her office humming. She has outlasted eight mayors, countless co-workers and the electric typewriter she had to learn to use when she joined the city as a junior clerk a half-century ago. Now celebrating her 50th anniversary with the city of Houston, Russell, 70, will be honored by the Greater Houston Preservation Alliance at a luncheon Wednesday. She has served as city secretary for 30 of those years, longer than even her predecessor, Margaret Westerman. The City Hall Annex where Russell now works is named for Westerman, who served for 29 years. "She really is just a piece of walking history in what she knows about the city," said Ramona Davis, the preservation alliance's executive director. "If we could know what is in her head, she'd be a library unto herself." As other department heads have come and gone -- some in less than a year -- Russell has been a rare survivor of City Hall's often backbiting atmosphere.
Observers credit her refusal to talk about either the mayors she
has worked for or her personal politics. She fends off such questions with witty
retorts and a hearty chuckle. Even her three daughters have no idea who she
votes for. "Anna basically knows how to keep her mouth shut," said
former mayor Fred Hofheinz, one of five to appoint her city secretary. "She
is the one person at City Hall that all political sides can go to and expect to
have her confidence and her insight into city government." Russell is known
for talking personally to every candidate for city office, counseling anyone who
asks through the required paperwork. Any Houstonian who has business in the City
Secretary's Office, whether looking up a record or registering as a lobbyist, is
likely to speak with Russell.
"She's always willing to spend a few minutes with
you," said Griff Griffin, a five-time candidate for City Council. "You
can go down and ask her any
question." She is also famous for an uncanny ability to locate lost
documents
and recall council action taken months or years in the past. One former
co-worker, Janet Rawlinson, said that when they worked together in the 1950s and
'60s, Russell would locate in minutes files for which others had been searching
for hours. "She drove you crazy," Rawlinson said at a recent
anniversary party for Russell. "I swear she'd plant it on you."
Russell is
one of the best-known faces -- and voices -- of City Council's weekly public
session. She calls speakers to the microphone in her tobacco-tinged drawl and,
as speaker after speaker runs over the three-minute time limit, stops them with
what has become a common quip around City Hall: "Thank you, your time has
expired." A few years back, Russell said, one woman addressing the council
shot back, "Your time will expire one day, too." Russell joined the
City Secretary's Office in 1949, when she was 18 and electric typewriters were
on the cutting edge of office technology.
Because she took a couple years off when her first child was born, this year is Russell's official 50th anniversary. She "never imagined" that she would spend her life working for the city -- until 1966, when she found herself divorced with three children to support. She knew then that she would stay because she enjoys her work and has good benefits with the city. Russell's co-workers from her early years with the city, most of whom have now retired, remember her as fun but dedicated. When her second daughter was born, Russell worked up until the day of delivery -- unusual in those days. "The next morning we took her work over to the hospital," said Carol Davis Portugal, who worked with Russell for 31 years. Russell's career has spanned from carbon paper and typewriter erasers to scanners, fax machines and the Internet. "When they invented Wite-Out, everybody who used a typewriter thought they'd died and gone to heaven," Russell said.
Decades later, Russell has led the office into the computer age.
Although she knows that modern technology is vital to the work of her office and
often refers Houstonians to the Internet to access city documents, she herself
never touches computers. "I don't know how to use it," she said.
"I delegate." But Russell also values the paper records dating back to
1840
that her office keeps. "There's nothing like seeing the original signature
of
a past mayor," she said. "I have great respect for the historical
records."
Russell said she has never worried about whether new mayors would reappoint her
to her job. In fact, since Louie Welch appointed her city secretary in 1972,
Russell said Lee Brown is the only mayor who formally told her she still had the
job. "I just never heard from the rest of them," she said.
Russell does occasionally get dragged into controversy. Last
year, she said she was unable to certify a petition to put a property tax cap on
the city
ballot after the petition was turned in a few days late. Brown opposed the
initiative, and some accused Russell of deliberately slowing down the process to
keep the referendum off the ballot. Russell shrugged off the "ugly"
e-mail and other complaints. "It doesn't bother me," she said.
"It's just part of my job." Russell is eligible for retirement and has
saved up two years of vacation time. She prefers to keep working. "Being
active keeps you healthier and younger in mind," she said.
