I am going to LA from Oakland by the 101 soon. I'd like to see the
Cal Poly campus at San Luis O. Can someone tell me how to get there
from the 101.
If the campus store is closed, is there a place nearby that sells
souvenirs from the campus?
Is there a restaurant near the campus where students hang out a lot
(even though it's near Xmas)?

This is a quick lesson on posting (to any group).  Unfortunately,
inconsistencies of news and notes systems will limit some of this information.
See news.announce.newusers and consult (by mail) a news/system guru if you
need help, even if that guru is on another system.

This is a news message header and some hints to remember:

News is potentially a beautiful communication tool.  Unfortunately, it is
too easily abused.  Cross-posting isn't bad, but just like forgetting to
edit a Subject line, you can have unintended effects.  If you are not
absolutely clear on what each field does, ask for help FIRST.  CONSIDER
all newsgroups you are posting and make certain you use a minimum number.
Use the followup line and consider the offer of posting summaries (makes you
the center of attention.  Place the most relevant newsgroup first!
If you want a discussion to appear in multiple groups like:

Newsgroups: ba.xxx,ca.yyy,na.zzz,ba.general
#where xxx, yyy, and zzz are groups, then use a Followup line like:
Followup-To: ba.xxx
#LEAVING general out.  ba.xxx should be the most relevant group.

like:

Newsgroups: comp.graphics,ba.seminars
Followup-To: comp.graphics

Consider that if you have a topic of non-immediate interest that you post
with using a limited domain/distribution like:

Newsgroups: rec.audio,ba.wanted
Distribution: ba
Followup-To: rec.audio
#Keeping out of general, getting the audio philes and those seeking.

Remember: KEEP ADS in the market groups, and save general for important

I'm planning on going to the Moscone convention center in Jan, and my

suggestions for how to get there and back.  I think a rental car will
be overkill, so I'd like to concentrate on other options.  


If you have any $$, phone number, or timing information, that's all

Go outside the Oakland terminal and catch the BART shuttle bus that takes
you to the BART station. (cost about $2.00) . Take BART to SF (about $3
-$4) and get off at the Montgomery station (pretty sure, check the maps).
Boom!!, you are about two blocks North of Moscone Center. Or stay on BART
to the Civic Center stop, and you are about 2 blocks SE from the Brooks
Hall.

 I did this one time, made every connection just right, and was at the show
about 1 1/2 hours after leaving Ontario.

It's easy.  You'll come down this fairly steep long hill on 101 called
Cuesta Grade.  There's only one like it on the whole trip.  Anyway,
the exit for Cal Poly is marked on the freeway, and I think it's called
the Grand Avenue exit.  It's really the first San Luis city exit that
you come to after coming down the grade.

If the on-campus bookstore in the student union (the best place for
souvenirs) is closed, you can always go to the shops downtown on
Higuera Street.  Ask directions when you're there.  It's a friendly
enough place.

Hmmm, I went there, but that's hard for me to say.  I think it's sort
of diffuse, and depends on what kind of crowd you're looking for.  Try
trawling the downtown area for such places/bars.

Subject: Four-Color Licence Plates of Yosemite's Tunnel View
Date: 20 Dec 92 19:02:32 GMT
Distribution: ca
Organization: UCLA, Computer Science Department

For those of you who are interested, the Yosemite Fund is working through
the DMV to create a special licence plate with of a four-color design of
Yosemite's Tunnel View.  The plate will be available to California drivers 
for $50 plus their standard car registration fee.

The proceeds will be divided equally between the Yosemite Fund (which supports
preservation and restoration of the park) and the California Environmental
Licence Plate Fund.  The money raised by the Yosemite Fund can only be used
for preservation and restoration in Yosemite National Park, not for Fund
overhead and administrative expenses, nor park operations.

The Yosemite Fund has already received 2000 applications for the new plate
and must collect 5000 before the DMV will begin processing.  Given the current
demand, the Fund expects that plates will be available by mid-1993.

If you'd like to get an application for plates, contact the Yosemite Fund 
at (415) 434-1782.

David

p.s. My wife and I decided to purchase the plates and thought that people on
     the net should also have an opportunity to get them also.  You can also
     give the plates as a gift!

You could take BART.  From Oakland airport there's a shuttle service that
takes you to BART's (Oakland) Colesium station.  I don't know the shuttle's
frequency, fare, or anything else very helpful about it.  You'll have to
ask BART information about it at (510) 465-BART.  Anyhow, take BART from
the Colesium station to San Francisco.  Get off at either Mongomery or
Powell St station.  These are only a few blocks apart on Market St. and
are both a short walk away from the Moscone Center.  To walk to Moscone
from Market St., its just two blocks south of Market down either 4th or
5th street.

The BART ride from Colesium to Montgomery or Powell is a little over 20
minutes and will cost you $1.90 one-way, $3.80 round-trip.

If you are unencumbered by baggage, it's two blocks from 4th and Market
to 4th and Harrison, where Moscone Center is located ... a short walk.

Otherwise, this is right on the money.

Take the shuttle bus from Oakland to the BART station, then BART to 
Montgomery street station, get off and walk the 6 or 7 blocks to 
Moscone. 

It isn't too bad if you're not lugging baggage and the whole thing will
only cost about $5-6. Be sure to have the dollar for the shuttle bus trip
from the airport. The bus drivers appreciate it when they don't have to
make change while people are standing outside the bus with their hands
full of heavy luggage.

Have fun!

I don't think so.  Under the insurance plan at my employer, we can
visit a doctor and it only costs $5.00.  This includes the local
urgent care clinic.  I have had occasion to use the urgent care clinic
once in almost three years (I was running a 105 degree fever on a Sunday
afternoon).  Our insurance carrier says that their studies indicate that
when they make routine visits to the doctor cheap, people OVERUTILIZE
their doctors for the first year.  After that, they go to the doctor 
LESS than people on traditional 80-20 plans.  Overall, I believe that
making primary care cheaper would help to reduce total health-care
costs.  The experience of our health insurance carrier bears that out.

However, if we are going to get a handle on our nations health care costs,
we are going to have to come to grips with how people in our country die.
We spend a HUGE ammount of our health care dollars on the last week of people's
lives.  My grandfather was a case in point.  Until he contracted cancer, he
had never been in a hospital in his life (he was born at home).  His total
medical bills totaled over $85,000.  Approximately half of that was spent
in the last few days of his life.  At that time, the cancer had metastasized
and the only appropriate treatment IMHO was drug administration to control
pain.  Instead, there were surgeries and other invasive procedures.  As
well as totally inadequate pain control.  I am sure that this scenario
plays itself out thousands of times each day - and it is one of the major
forces driving up the cost of health care.
