Garcia Will Present Keys to the City at Council Meeting Dec. 8
2015-12-03 · By Editor
In his first presentation of keys to the city, Mayor Robert Garcia will honor former California Governor George Deukmejian, his wife, the philanthropist Gloria Deukmejian, and Long Beach civil rights icon Bobbie Smith in a special ceremony at the start of the City Council meeting on December 8.
"These long time members of the Long Beach community have made outstanding contributions to our city and our state," said Garcia. "They deserve the highest recognition we can bestow, and I'm extremely proud to be able to honor them with keys to the city."
George Deukmejian was born in New York but moved to Long Beach to open his legal practice after graduating from law school and serving in the Army. he soon entered politics and was elected to the State Assembly in 1962 and then the State Senate in 1966, becoming Majority Leader in 1969. In 1978 he won election as Attorney General, serving from 1979 to 1983, when he was elected Governor.
As Governor from 1983-1991, Mr. Deukmejian provided strong leadership in support of increased public safety and balanced budgets, increasing the general fund by 98% without raising general taxes, and became very popular. His reelection still holds the California record for largest victory margin. After leaving public office, Mr. Deukmejian continued to serve the public on several public committees, including one dedicated to charter reform in Long Beach. In 2008 he was given an honorary doctorate by California State University, Long Beach for his service to the state and the city.
Gloria Deukmejian is a native of Long Beach. While raising her three children, Mrs. Deukmejian volunteered with numerous community programs, especially those serving children, including the PTA, Girl Scouts, Campfire, Jonathan Jaques Children Cancer Center, St. Mary Hospital, and Assistance League in Long Beach and Sacramento. During her husband's tenure as Governor, Mrs. Deukmejian organized a statewide award for Volunteer Centers of California. She remains active in community service, including at the Cal State Long Beach Disabled Student Services program, the Long Beach Day Nursery "Stepping Stones to Success" program, the St. Mary Hospital Board of Trustees and the Rancho Los Alamitos Foundation Board.
Bobbie Smith was the first African-American to serve on the Long Beach Unified School District Board of Education, elected in 1988. She went on to serve four terms as President of the Board. Mrs. Smith was also a Long Beach City College librarian for more than 20 years. Last year, to honor her accomplishments and pioneering service, the LBUSD Board renamed Burnett Elementary School after her. It is now known as Bobbie Smith Elementary School. Mrs. Smith has remained active serving the community and advocating for civil rights and equality.
The keys will be presented by Mayor Garcia during a presentation at the beginning of the City Council meeting on Tuesday, December 8 at 5 pm in Council Chamber at City Hall.

How-to Paint Home Exteriors
Exterior Painting Help
How to Prepare for Painting
Preparation is key to a successful paint job. Before you begin, make sure your home's exterior surface is properly prepared.
- Arrange drop cloths to shield plants and other landscaped areas or surfaces that won't be painted.
Scrape or sand chipped or peeling paint with a wire brush or scraper. Remove or replace loose or dry putty with a high quality paintable caulking compound.
Fill cracks of stucco, brick, and masonry homes with an exterior patching compound. WARNING! If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may release lead dust or fumes. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST OR FUMES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE.
Wear a properly fitted NIOSH-approved respirator and prevent skin contact to control your lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop.
Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the USEPA National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead. Follow these instructions to control exposure to other hazardous substances that may be released during surface preparation.
- Use a mild detergent to clean the surfaces and to wipe down all metal and aluminum surfaces.
- Be sure to prime any new, or bare (exposed) surfaces.
How to Choose the Right Product & Sheen
Latex vs. Oil
There are two types of paint—latex and oil.
Latex paints are water-based and offer excellent durability, flexibility, and easy soap and water clean up.
Oil-based paints also provide excellent durability and are known for their smooth application properties. Paint thinner is required for cleanup.
The next feature to consider is sheen. The body of the house is typically a mid-range sheen while the trim, shutters, and doors use a semi-gloss or gloss sheen. The lower the sheen, the less light that will reflect off the surface. Generally, lower sheens are used for the body of homes to help reduce sun glare and minimize harsh reflections. Lower sheens also help hide surface imperfections.
Conversely, the higher the sheen, the more light that will reflect off the surface. Higher sheens are used for higher traffic areas, such as doors and trim, often offering enhanced protection against dirt and outdoor contaminants. Use this chart to help decide which paint sheens are right for your project.
|Body of House
|Doors, Shutters
|Trim(around windows and doors)
|Soffit and Fascia
Painting Supplies Checklist
Items you may need before you begin:
- Putty knife
- Caulking gun
- Sandpaper
- Wipe up cloths
- Step ladders
- Exterior patching paste
- Wire brushes
- Masking tape
- Drop cloths
- Paint thinner
How to Choose the Right Tools
Polyester blend for latex paints; natural bristle for oil-based paints. 4" brush for large surface areas; 2" angled brush for trim and detail areas.
Roller and Roller Tray
Nap sizes vary depending on surface type. Generally, the smoother the surface the shorter the nap.
Power Roller or Airless Sprayer
Used mostly by professionals. Please read instructions completely before use.
How to Get the Perfect Look
Painting can renew and refresh the exterior of your home as well as showcase its character. And, while selecting the right color is critical, choosing the right paint and using good application techniques are also key steps to a beautiful, lasting finish.
From siding to shutters, front doors to trim, paint gives you the opportunity to completely change the look or simply restore the original beauty of your home. Take a moment to walk around the outside of your house; look at it from the street. Make sure the colors you select complement your home's permanent features, such as brick or stone accents, walkways, roof color, and landscaping.
Generally these colors are combined to create an exterior color scheme for a house: one for the body, one for the trim, and one for the front door and other accents. While neutral tones are more often used on the body of the house, distinguishing colors find opportunity on trim and accent colors.
Estimating Paint, Weather, and Primer Help
Estimating = How Much Paint Will I Need?
To determine the square footage of your home's exterior, add the widths of the four sides, and multiply by the height below the roofline.
For gables, multiply the peak height x ½ the length of the roof base line. Subtract 21 square feet per door and 15 square feet per single window. Then, divide your number by 400 to arrive at the final number of gallons you need to purchase.
The temperature should be between 50°F–90°F with low humidity and no rain expected for 24 hours. However, most exterior paints can be applied down to 35°F.
Start on the shaded side of the house. Direct sun causes the paint to dry too quickly and may create lap marks. If you're using oil-based paints, be sure all dew has evaporated.
Primers provide a strong foundation for the topcoat and create a more uniform appearance overall.
Oil primers are excellent for both new and existing wood, as well as chalky and glossy surfaces. Acrylic latex primers are ideal for aluminum, brick, masonry, wood, and vinyl siding. Specialty primers are formulated to tackle problem areas such as wood stains and have excellent adhesion qualities.
Be careful to choose a primer that best fits your project needs.
Application Tips & Techniques
Using a Brush
For best results with a brush, dip half the length of the bristles into your paint. Tap the brush gently against the side of the can but do not wide it across the lip. Hold the handle near the base, applying light pressure with your fingertips to make the bristles flex slightly.
Using a Roller
Work from the top down from unpainted areas into wet, painted areas. Oil paints take longer to dry and allow you to brush across the surface several times for a smooth, even finish. Latex paints dry faster and only one or two strokes are needed.
Paint the Body of the House
Work from the top down from unpainted areas into wet, painted areas. Oil paints take longer to dry and allow you to brush across the surface several times for a smooth, even finish: later paints dry faster and only one or two strokes are needed.
How to Paint Exterior Doors
To Start
Remove hinges, knobs, and latches or cover them with masking tape.
Panel Doors
Begin by painting the top panels, moulding, and edging first. Then paint the remaining panel area by brushing across the surface and then up and down. Finish by painting the remaining area and the door edges.
Flush Doors
Paint the edges first and then fill in the large area. Complete your job by the painting the frame and jamb last.
How to Paint Exterior Windows
Double Hung Windows
- Raise the inside sash and lower the outside. Paint the inside sash, crossbars, and frame. Do not paint the top edge of the inside sash.
- Next, paint the outside sash cross bars, then the frame. Do not paint the bottom edge. When the paint is dry, lower both sashes completely and paint the upper part of the rails.
- Once these are thoroughly dry, raise both sashes and paint the lower part of the rails. After the lower rails have dried, move sashes back to nearly a closed position and paint the part of the outside sash that was obscured and the top edge of inside sash.
- Finally, paint the window casing and the sill.
Casement Windows
- Make sure the windows are wide open (either in or out).
- Paint the top, side, and bottom edges first, then finish with the cross bars, frames, casing, and sills.
Cleaning Up
Latex, Water-Based Paints
Wipe excess paint from brushes and rollers then rinse them thoroughly with soap and warm water. Allow them to air dry.
Oil-based paints
Use paint thinner to clean brushes and rollers. Be sure to dispose of all water properly. Rags, steel wool, or waste soaked with these products may spontaneously catch fire if improperly discarded. Immediately after each use, place rags, steel wool, or waste in a sealed, water-filled metal container.
Contact your local environmental regulatory agency for guidance on disposal of unused product. Do not pour down a drain or storm sewer.
Keep a record
Don't forget to save excess paint for touch-ups later. Also be sure to record the color name, number and formula. Then, if more paint is needed at a later date, it will be easy to have the paint remixed to the exact color.

Interestingly enough, I was engaged in conversation this past weekend with someone, I'll call Todd, when a friend of his approached. In the process of me excusing myself, the young man, Anthony for the sake of reference, spoke while I was still within ear shot and could be heard talking about his need for a new car. The two of them actually summoned me and asked that I return to engage in the discussion and share my opinion as to whether the vehicle he wanted would be a wise purchase.

The Wakeboard Home Rack is a premium quality wakeboard rack that will keep your board safely stored up on the wall. This rack is made from all steel and has been black powder coated for aesthetics and corrosion resistance. With its steel construction and 27" long arms, the Wakeboard Home Rack is designed to hold just about any wakeboard ever made. With a weight capacity of 60lbs and the ability to hold boards up to 40" wide, this rack will hold it all with ease. This rack is the same build quality and construction as our wildly popular Triple Board Rack, so you can expect to be satisfied like hundreds others have.
One great feature about the Wakeboard Home Rack is that it is built with removable arms, so when you are not using it you can take the arms off for space saving and safety. The arms can be quickly and securely attached to the mounting bracket by just pushing in a push pin. One unique feature about the arms is that they can be mounted upside down or right side up. When mounting the arms right side up, the arm will be angled up 15 degrees relative to the horizon. When mounting upside down, the arms will be angled up at about 5 degrees (almost horizontal). The arms are equally strong mounted in either position, so picking how you want it is simply a matter of preference. The arms are completely covered in 1/3" thick closed cell foam. This is premium quality foam that is designed to take a heavy board without causing any scuffing or pressure point distortion. This foam allows you to keep your board in the rack in the off season without fear of distorting your wakeboard.

New Law Will Help Increase Patient Enrollment, Retention, and Minority Participation in Cancer Clinical Trials, Especially Among Women and Under-Represented Communities
SACRAMENTO, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 29, 2016) - Earlier this week, Governor Jerry Brown signed into law the new California Cancer Clinical Trials Program to increase access to cancer clinical trials for patients, especially women and under-represented communities. This makes the State the first in the country to legally recognize the financial burdens afflicting cancer patients seeking treatment in clinical trials. The bill was sponsored by Lazarex Cancer Foundation, authored by Assemblymember Susan Bonilla, and co-authored by Assemblymember Marie Waldron.
This program is the result of a decade-long effort of Lazarex Cancer Foundation. Lazarex helps advanced stage cancer patients and the medically underserved with costs for FDA trial participation, identification of clinical trial options, community outreach and education.
"This is the first step toward creating a sustainable transformation in the 'bench-to-bedside' process for clinical trial enrollment," said Lazarex President Dana Dornsife. "We are grateful for the support of Assemblymembers Susan Bonilla and Marie Waldron, and are heartened by the response of the legislature." AB 1823 unanimously passed the full Assembly and the State Senate, 80-0. Assemblymember Susan Bonilla has spearheaded this effort since its conception by Lazarex in early 2014. The University of California and the University of Southern California also played collaborative roles in the passing of this legislation.
The new law distinguishes between inducement and reimbursement. It recognizes ancillary costs as a barrier to clinical trial participation; encourages industry support of these costs; and identifies the allowable expenses that can be reimbursed to patients.
The California Cancer Clinical Trials Program will be administered by the University of California, which will raise funds and distribute privately funded grants aimed at reducing barriers to trial participation. The funds will be used to help connect patients with appropriate clinical trials, and to cover expenses stemming from participation in those trials. It will authorize industry, public and private foundations, individuals, and other stakeholders to donate to the program directed by UC, as well as to other nonprofit corporations and public charities that specialize in the enrollment, retention, and increased participation of patients in cancer clinical trials.
"The California Cancer Clinical Trials program will transform how we connect patients with cancer trials in California and engage with industry and businesses in the oncology field," said Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla (D-Concord), the author of the bill. "Research and clinical trials are keys to treatment success, but just as important is the access and participation to those trials by a diverse population."
"I am proud to be a principal co-author of AB 1823 which creates opportunity not only for California cancer centers and patients, but will also create an environment where business and pharmaceutical companies from across the country and world will see California as the vanguard in the effort to increase accessibility and enroll patients in trials, bringing life-saving cancer drugs to market sooner," stated Assemblymember Marie Waldron ®, the original co-author of the bill.
Barriers to participation in clinical trials
An estimated 1.7 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed and nearly 600,000 people will die from the disease in the United States this year alone. Yet only about three percent of eligible cancer patients participate in clinical trials, and only about five percent of them are from under-represented communities such as African Americans, Latinos/Hispanics, Asians and Pacific Islanders, and American Indians.
There are many reasons for this low participation, including the ancillary costs of participation in the trials. Yet diversity in clinical trials can improve their effectiveness, and can help researchers better evaluate the effects of new therapies. This can result in more robust treatments that meet the varying genetic make-up of women and men and diverse racial and ethnic groups.
About the Lazarex Cancer Foundation
Lazarex Cancer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that is improving the outcome of cancer care for advanced stage cancer patients and the medically underserved by providing assistance with costs for FDA trial participation, identification of clinical trial options, community outreach and education. Over the last decade, Lazarex has provided direct assistance to more than 2,000 patients in over 900 nationwide trial sites, and provided advocacy, community outreach and education to more than 300,000 people.

Following yesterday's post where we mentioned Jan doesn't exist and I'm apparently deceased, a blog comment has been received from Ian asking if he can have Waiouru. Before we can consider this request Ian needs to get here and assist with the sanding!
Sanding was something I've been doing all day and now understand why people at our stage of life are referred to as "grey power". We originally thought it referred to the colour of our hair but in my case, after a day of sanding primer, I'm grey all over!
Back to the paint preparation. The cabin sides and roof have now been sanded back to a smooth surface. The quantity of small flecks of old paint revealed during the sanding process was quite surprising. Particularly as Waiouru had been grit blasted to remove the original paint! Darren insists all the old paint has to be removed along with the "orange peel" effect in the primer. Despite the sander being connected to a vacuum cleaner, so much primer dust was created it was essential I wear a facemask and ear defenders.
The next stage is to sweep down the sanded area before wiping the surface down with 'tack' cloths that will collect the last of the dust. The first undercoat can then be applied. No photo as a piebald boat isn't all that interesting!
This morning our Norwegian blog readers handed back their hire boat and then very kindly gave us their unused "provisions" before heading to Reading for the day. They were due to fly back to Norway from Heathrow at 5:00pm. Around mid afternoon they returned by train (standing room only… it was race day at Newbury!) to collect their luggage and wait for the taxi they had ordered. To Jan's surprise Snorre presented her with a very nice bottle of Champagne to be opened when Waiouru is completed. What a lovely gesture from such wonderful people! We won't be breaking the 'bubbly" on the bow…… Such a waste! We will drink it on the day!
The flight from the UK to Norway will take them 90 minutes. I'm still trying to get used to European distances. When we lived in Australia the average intercity flight was two hours!
Have a safe flight new found friends!
Jan interrupted my sanding in the afternoon to tell me it was "beer o'clock" and I should cease sanding. Despite wearing the protective equipment I needed to shower (twice) to remove the grey from crevasses I didn't know existed. My mouth was a dry as a drovers dog so I down two large glasses of water prior to us departing for the beer garden. If I hadn't done this I'd have reached the cafe and poured three cold pints of lager down my parched throat in rapid succession. Not only would this have been expense, but Jan would have had to carry me back to Waiouru.
Now all that's left to do is plan tomorrow's walk!

AG Gansler Secures $75 Million for Maryland Government Entities and Pension Systems from Housing Securities Settlement with Bank of America
$150 million more will be shared by Maryland, 2 other states for consumer assistance and housing relief efforts
BOA and subsidiaries misled state and local pension system investors over securities that contained toxic mortgages
Baltimore, MD – August 21, 2014 – (RealEstateRama) — Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler announced today that multiple governmental entities and pension programs (Maryland and local governments) will share an estimated $75 million settlement secured by his Securities Division from Bank of America (BOA) and its subsequent acquisitions, Merrill Lynch and Countrywide Financial Corporation. Maryland, joined by five other states and multiple federal agencies, reached a $16.65 billion settlement that resolves allegations against the banking and securities giant for unlawfully packaging, marketing, issuing and selling residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) that contained toxic mortgages.
"With this settlement, Maryland takes another step towards resolving the widespread economic damage caused by these lenders and the mortgage crisis they created out of sheer greed," said Attorney General Gansler. "Marylanders will benefit as defrauded state and local government pension plans receive compensation and distressed consumers receive additional mortgage-related relief and assistance."
While $75 million for Maryland will compensate certain defrauded investors, including government entities and their pension plans, the settlement obligates BOA to provide billions more nationwide in consumer relief. The bank will be required to provide $7 billion in consumer relief to eligible consumers in the forms of mortgage forgiveness and forbearance, low to moderate income lending, community reinvestment and neighborhood stabilization, and affordable rental housing. A minimum of $150 million will be expended on these efforts in Maryland, Delaware and Kentucky. While it may not produce the same result as the 2012 National Mortgage Settlement, Maryland was among the states hit hardest by the housing crisis and received the sixth largest share of that agreement among the 49 participating states.
The settlement also provides a special credit incentive to Bank of America to allocate additional funds from the $7 billion in nationwide consumer relief for consumer assistance in Maryland and the other settling states, above and beyond the $150 million minimum.
Today's settlement is part of a global agreement that Bank of America, based on its own activities as well as those of Merrill Lynch and Countrywide, reached with the U.S. Department of Justice, Maryland and five other states, and other federal agencies relating to the entities' sales of securities backed by toxic mortgages that were bundled into defective pooled investments and sold using misleading disclosures to investors.
This settlement resolves only civil claims arising out of the RMBS activities of Bank of America, Merrill Lynch and Countrywide, and does not release any individuals from civil claims or the entities or any individuals from criminal charges. An independent monitor will be appointed to determine whether Bank of America is satisfying its obligations under this settlement.
Bank of America has established a hotline for consumers to call if they have questions about the settlement. The BOA consumer hotline is 877-488-7814.
Today's settlement is the latest legal action from Attorney General Gansler in pursuit of justice for Maryland taxpayers, homeowners and borrowers as a result of the illegal lending practices and unlawful financial misconduct that led to the nationwide housing crisis and the economic damage that was the result. Among those actions are:
- In July, AG Gansler filed lawsuits against two law firms for allegedly operating illegal loan modification schemes that charge consumers large upfront fees, but often do not help them avoid foreclosure or modify their loans.
- In June, AG Gansler secured $33 million for distressed Maryland homeowners from SunTrust Bank Inc. that addressed mortgage loan origination, servicing, and foreclosure abuses.
- In December 2013, AG Gansler recovered $88 million from Ocwen Financial Corp. for distressed Maryland homeowners victimized by mortgage serving abuses.
- Also in December 2013, AG Gansler recovered $231,000 for defrauded consumers from a Maryland company that illegally charged advance fees for mortgage assistance relief services and exaggerated their ability to provide foreclosure prevention and loan modification services.
- In August 2013, The Federal Monitor for the National Mortgage Settlement (NMS) reported that over 27,000 Maryland consumers received over $1.5 billion from the NMS signed in 2012 with the five largest mortgage lenders (Ally/GMAC, Bank of America, Citi Bank, JPMorgan Chase/WaMu and Wells Fargo/Wachovia).

TOKYO — DIGITAL medical records. Special economic zones. Structural reforms.
The core ideas behind Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's much-publicized growth strategy are stirring a nagging sense of déjà vu.
They should. The plan, which is set to be approved later this week, borrows liberally from a string of previous government initiatives that similarly promised to bolster the economy, including his own. And economists and investors are increasingly worried that the latest initiative will have the same effect as the past ones — that is to say, little at all.
"Every prime minister in recent memory has introduced an economic growth strategy, each not much better than the other," said Akihiko Suzuki, chief economist at Mitsubishi UFJ Research and Consulting, the research arm of the large Japanese bank.
"Expectations rise, but are quickly dashed," Mr. Suzuki said. "It's foolish to expect something different this time."
The first two arrows of Mr. Abe's economic push — a sizable dose of monetary and fiscal stimulus — initially impressed investors, sending the stock market soaring as much as 80 percent in six months. But some of that enthusiasm has evaporated, since Mr. Abe outlined the third piece, the core growth strategy. In recent weeks, the Nikkei has been in a steady slide and it fell 5 percent on Thursday morning.
Some investors worry that the prime minister's plans are not much different than the largely ineffective attempts made by his predecessors, including Mr. Abe during his previous stint in 2006 and 2007.
Take Mr. Abe's idea to help create a cutting-edge industry by digitizing Japan's wealth of medical data, ripe for mining by technology companies. A similar policy was featured in Mr. Abe's accelerated growth program, drawn up in mid-2007, during his previous term in office.
But after Mr. Abe resigned in September 2007, doctors started to grumble over the burdens of digitization. Many clinics run by older physicians eventually won exemption from the plan, along with others who found it difficult to work with digital technology. It is unclear whether the digital push this time will be more comprehensive or how much new business it may generate.
Mr. Abe also wants to create special economic zones that would relax some aspects of nationwide regulation in an effort to woo foreign investors. In part, the prime minister is pushing for more flexible medical services to cater to expatriates and more leeway for companies in emerging fields to hire and fire staff members.
Mr. Abe's mentor, the former prime minister Junichiro Koizumi, tried much the same tack in the early 2000s. His reforms led to the creation of almost 1,000 special zones for structural reform, which relaxed things like the paperwork required by foreign researchers, standardized school curriculums, and licenses to home-brew sake, or Japanese rice wine.
The opposition Democratic Party introduced similar zones during its three-year stint in power, which ended in late 2012 with the victory of Mr. Abe's Liberal Democratic Party. But the long-term impact of such efforts has been limited.
Sweeping economic goals and strategies have become an almost annual rite for Japan's successive prime ministers.
Before Mr. Abe's growth strategy came three policy initiatives from the Democratic Party: Yukio Hatoyama's New Growth Strategy of 2010; Naoto Kan's Scenario to Bring Back a Lively Japan of 2011; and Yoshihiko Noda's Japan Revival Strategy of 2012. Those initiatives did little to brighten Japan's economic prospects.
Preceding those policies were Yasuo Fukuda's Economic Growth Strategy of 2008 and Taro Aso's Future Pioneering Strategy of 2009, which focused mainly on increasing gross domestic product. But the Japanese economy suffered its most severe recession amid the global financial crisis, ending the Liberal Democratic Party's half-century of almost uninterrupted rule.
Now, investors are worried that Mr. Abe's growth strategy is merely more of the same, a situation that threatens to undermine confidence in the other facets of his program.
"Until now, Mr. Abe had exceeded expectations. But just as we got to the most vital part of his program, he failed to produce anything substantive," said Akio Makabe, a professor of economics at Shinshu University.
Japan's near-obsessive focus on growth plans traces its roots to the 1960s. At the time, Hayato Ikeda, then the prime minister, promised to double Japan's income in that decade by lowering taxes and investing in infrastructure — a feat that would require 7.8 percent of growth a year. Japan's economy exceeded expectations, increasing 10 percent a year.
The success of Mr. Ikeda's plan spurred more plans. His successor, Eisaku Sato, introduced three economic growth strategies from 1964 to 1972, but each one brought slower growth than the last.
As Japan's economy matured, and growth slowed further, focus shifted from growth to structural reforms that would correct some of the country's economic distortions. The most fervent reformer in recent memory was Mr. Koizumi, who unleashed a platform of initiatives to increase competition in the Japanese economy.
Even some of his most prominent policies have fallen by the wayside, highlighting how difficult it can be to make changes stick in Japan.
A law that allowed private companies to compete with Japan's sprawling post office to deliver letters, for example, has been effectively neutralized with a provision that requires new competitors to set up at least 100,000 mailboxes across Japan and collect from all of those boxes at least six days a week. In the decade since that law went into effect, not a single company has taken up the challenge.
A signature bid by Mr. Koizumi to privatize the post office's vast financial arm, opening up the world's biggest bank by deposits to competition, has also been quietly rolled back. The timetable for privatization is now delayed and the government is set to hold onto a higher proportion of Japan Post stock. Savers now enjoy a higher deposit insurance cap on their savings at the post office, encouraging them to keep more money parked there.
Mr. Abe has tried to accentuate the differences between his reform efforts and Japan's previous attempts at change. Mr. Abe has suggested the special economic zones might offer lower corporate tax rates. But he is likely to face difficulty bringing Japan's 38 percent tax rate in line with Singapore or Hong Kong — whose corporate taxes are half that rate — without grumbling from businesses that do not qualify.
There are already early signs of fault-finding. Lawmakers from Mr. Abe's own Liberal Democratic Party have openly criticized a push to allow the sale of nonprescription drugs on the Internet — a move that would hurt brick-and-mortar pharmacists, a vocal interest group in Japan. With an eye on coming elections, the government is already moving toward keeping its Internet sales ban on more than two dozen of the best-selling drugs, including indigestion medicines and hair growth formula for men, a pharmaceutical cash cow.
"We have a problem if people start using twice the drugs they need, just because of the convenience" of buying medicine online, Norihisa Tamura, the health minister, said at a meeting of lawmakers last week.
Mr. Abe's economic drive is coupled with a far more aggressive program of pump-priming, which economists say could make the difference. And some economists called for patience as Mr. Abe fleshed out his reforms ahead of parliamentary elections this summer.
"It is in the nature of prime ministers' speeches that they don't have enough detail to satisfy the policy wonks," Nicholas Smith, Japan strategist at CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, wrote in a note. "This seems like complaining that the waiter didn't read you the whole recipe book."

WORCESTER, Mass. – The Worcester State University baseball team swept the Rams of Framingham State by scores of 4-3 and 2-1 in Saturday afternoon Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) action at the Kevin D. Lyons Diamond. The Lancers' winning streak extends to six with the sweep.
April 14, 2018
Kevin D. Lyons Diamond
Rockwood Park
Records: Worcester State (10-16, 5-1 MASCAC) | Framingham State (11-13, 2-4 MASCAC)
GAME ONE: Worcester State 4, Framingham State 3
The Worcester State University baseball team came out on top 4-3 for the first win of the afternoon as junior right hand pitcher Kyle Sullivan (Hudson, Mass.) pitched the complete-game and struck out eight batters in the appearance.
Framingham State quickly scored as Kyle Pileski (Bristol, Conn.) singled up the middle to send home leadoff hitter Aaron Williams (Brockton, Mass.) who had reached on a single to right field. Worcester State had two baserunners in the flip side of the inning, but Framingham State got out of it with a double-play opportunity.
Following a hitless second inning on both sides, Worcester State came through and took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the third. Ben Palatino (Hudson, Mass.) began the inning with a single to left field and made his way around the bases stealing to put himself in scoring position with Kevin Larkin (Rocky Hill, Conn.) at the dish. Larkin doubled to left center to score Palatino, and then next up William Roberge (Warwick, R.I.) drove in Larkin on a single to right for the lead.
Framingham State tied the game up at 2-2 in the top of the fourth when Pileski homered to left field. Though, Worcester took back the lead in the reverse side on a sacrifice fly from Jimmy Sheehan (Oxford, Mass.).
The Lancers added to the lead in the bottom of the fifth on an RBI single from Colin Medeiros (Fall River, Mass.).
Sullivan pitched a hitless fifth and sixth inning, and struck out two in the top of the seventh despite an attempted comeback from Framingham State, who scored one run on a Williams double down the left field line.
- Framingham State's Williams batted 3-for-4 with one run scored and one RBI.

GAME TWO: Worcester State 2, Framingham State 1
The Lancers edged Framingham State 2-1 in the final game of the afternoon as it was a pitching duel between Worcester State's Matt Irzyk (Westfield, Mass.) and Framingham State's Michael Andrews (Stoneham, Mass.).
Irzyk earned the win as he allowed one run on seven hits. He walked two batters, and struck out six. In six innings pitched, Andrews allowed two runs on five hits. He walked one batter and struck out five at the plate.
The Lancers were hitless until the bottom of the third inning when they scored two runs on RBI from Sheehan and Breton.
Framingham State's scored their lone run in the top of the sixth inning on an RBI double from Kyle Lippert (Carlsbad, Calif.). The Rams were unable to score in the seventh as two fly-outs and a strikeout concluded the game.
- Framingham State's Jordan Pallazola (Rockport, Mass.) and Lippert both batted 2-for-3. Lippert drove home the Rams' sole run on a double.
- Matthew Brockett (Guilford, Conn.) reached base twice on walks.

Valuation isn't a science or a fine art. Most agents simply make appraisals of a property and produce a figure that they think sits well in the local market," says Peter Bolton-King of the National Association of Estate Agents as quoted by telegraph.co.uk
He admits some agents produce high figures if the market is rising, while others may pitch a low price to generate competitive bids and, perhaps, an eventual sale price which is higher than that asked.
"Surveyors for banks and building societies are extremely cautious – too much so. They've consistently undervalued properties to protect the lenders. That situation is improving but it's still a factor, especially with new homes," Bolton-King says.
He advises sellers to quiz agents on the number and type of comparable properties they have sold and how quickly they went. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, which regularly updates its "Red Book" guide to valuation, also says comparable property sales are a good – but not exact – guide to a home's worth.
Firms such as Rightmove and Hometrack, although best known for advertising homes or producing price indices, make much of their money from selling these AVMs to insurers and similar companies that need to know property valuations.The Nationwide and Halifax use their mortgage data to create the AVMs that power their online house price calculators. In theory, these guide home owners on their values, but they differ widely from prices put on properties by local estate agents.

Holy Water!
"Because this people has rejected
the gently flowing waters of Shiloah
and rejoices over Rezin
and the son of Remaliah,
therefore the Lord is about to bring against them
the mighty floodwaters of the River —
the king of Assyria with all his pomp.
It will overflow all its channels,
run over all its banks
and sweep on into Judah, swirling over it,
passing through it and reaching up to the neck.
Its outspread wings will cover the breadth of your land,
O Immanuel !"
Isaiah 8:6-8
Without water no one can live very long. Without air you die quickly, but without water the path to the end of life is very short as well. Water sustains life, washes away dirt and provides the necessary stuff of every growing plant.
Water can be used to baptize the believer or drown the sinner who is unrepentant. Its spiritual counterpart is called the "water of life" and streams of living water flow out of every child of God. God's first worldwide judgment came on the world by means of water. The flood washed away the whole population of wicked men allowing humanity to begin again with Noah and his descendants.
When Jesus died on the cross and the soldier pierced His side water and blood came out. The significance of the blood of Jesus is without question, but what about the water? Could it have been the water of life?
As you see the floods of God's judgment and wrath, and as you see men and women immersed in the Love of God by faith in Jesus, never forget that you cannot live without the water of life that flows from the Throne of God! It is indeed, in the truest sense of the Word, Holy Water! Amen!

Homemade Yogurt (Kos Shtëpie)
Yogurt is a product with very high nutritional properties such as protein, calcium, vitamin B6, B12 and riboflavin. Yogurt is made by bacterial fermentation of milk. The bacteria used to make yogurt is known as yogurt cultures. Cow's milk is the most commonly used to make yogurt. The word yogurt is derived from the Turkish language and it means to be curdled or coagulated; to thicken.
As a child, I saw my mom covering container or saucepan of milk with clean towels and blanket and telling me not to touch it. The importance of not opening the blanket covering during the fermentation is that you will stop the process of making yogurt. This is an old recipe and the method is the same as when my mom used to make it. It does not require too much active time to make it.
- Half-gallon Stony Field – organic Whole milk – ultra pasteurized
- 3 tbsp of Yogurt to use as a starter.
- Pyrex or Glad-ware container
Boil the milk in a saucepan to a medium heat until you see a skin forming on the top of the pot. Pour about 4 quarts milk into a plastic or glass container, and let it cool down at room temperature. Meanwhile mix the yogurt starter with 2 Tbsp. of milk so that is easily poured. After you put the lid on the container, cover it with a plastic bag and a clean towel or blanket. After 3 1/2 hours open and place the container in the refrigerator for a few hours.
- The yogurt will come out sour if you pour the yogurt starter in the hot milk or if you use more yogurt starter.
- Do not open the container before the recommended hours once you covered because you will stop the fermentation.
- Always save some yogurt to use as a starter for your next batch in the refrigerator in a small container.

God knows it's not easy being Sookie Stackhouse. The telepathic barmaid at the center of so many supernatural occurrences in the sleepy burg of Bon Temps, La., seems to spend most of her time fending off murderous attackers or the romantic advances of vampires, werewolves, shape-shifters and the like.
These days, things might even be more complicated for Sookie, who stars not only in bestselling author Charlaine Harris' successful series but also in HBO's hit show "True Blood," which returns for its fourth season Sunday.
The premiere episode of the new season finds Sookie (Anna Paquin) struggling to sort out the complicated powers she possesses thanks to her fairy bloodline and juggling the affections of at least two powerful blood drinking beaus. In "Dead Reckoning," Harris' 11th and latest novel, readers find the spunky cocktail waitress in not such a dissimilar place.
Her fairy relations, Claude and Dermot, are still a bit of a conundrum, having taken up residence inside her home, even though they spend a considerable amount of time at Hooligans, the club where Claude works as a stripper.
Her relationship with handsome Viking vampire Eric Northman is still acutely complicated — and old flame Bill Compton and werewolf Alcide Herveaux haven't stopped proclaiming their love for Sookie either.
And that just might be part of the problem.
Certainly, some things have changed in Bon Temps. Right out of the gate, Ms. Stackhouse loses some of her blond locks when her boss Sam Merlotte's bar is fire-bombed, adding insult to the already critical injury of losing business to Vic's Redneck Roadhouse, the new joint in town.
Eric is forcing Pam, the vampire he made, to keep a troubling bit of knowledge from Sookie, even as she learns some personal, painful secrets about her beloved late grandmother Adele and comes into possession of a rare magical object called a "cluviel dor," which is "about the size of two stacked Oreo cookies."
Yet "Dead Reckoning" feels a bit stale. The book is missing some of Harris' usual zest (Sookie's amorous interludes are considerably pared back, for starters) — and zest is a critical ingredient in Harris' spicy Southern stew. Perhaps it's simply difficult to sustain enthusiasm for a series so late in its life, or perhaps it was a necessary sacrifice to give Sookie some space to grow up.
Never afraid to speak her mind, Sookie's always been a hot-tempered, fiercely loyal, black-and-white kind of gal, but here, she seems to be gaining an understanding that the world — even one peopled with fairies and vamps, shape-shifters, werewolves and elves — is rendered in shades of gray.
"The preacher had told me that all sins were equal in the eyes of God, but I couldn't help but feel (for example) that a child molester was worse than a person who cheated on his income tax or a lonely woman who had unsanctioned sex because she wanted a baby. I was probably wrong, because we also weren't supposed to pick and choose which rules we obeyed, but that was the way I felt."
Sookie also ponders her own morals and values, wrestling in particular with her more vengeful desires, and she wonders how spending so much time with her fairy kin, not to mention Eric, might have changed her.
Not to say that Sookie — or Harris — has lost her sense of humor. At one point, her ex Bill pays a keenly unusual compliment to her breasts that could appear only in one of Harris' books (though not in a family friendly newspaper).
Still, while transition is at the heart of "Dead Reckoning," the novel itself feels too transitory. The mysteries dutifully unspool in Harris' signature voice and enough threads are left untied to tantalize readers with the promise of Book 12. That magical device is of particular interest. But if you're looking for the gleeful, salacious thrills of Sookie's earlier adventures, it might be more expedient to tune in to HBO to watch Paquin embody the tough-talking telepath with the heart of gold. The award-winning actress imbues the character with just the right sassy bite.
Harris said she intends to write only two additional entries in the series. It's likely a good call. A gal, even one as feisty as Sookie, can really handle only so much paranormal activity.
