Wad's up with you, Robbie? - 12th March
Inside Vicky's head: "Okay, Robbie has been out of rehab for a bit now. I was nice when he was in there, I did the caring sharing crap with the get well cards, but I'm bored of him again. I'll lead off gently and criticise his clothes, mention that his new single 'limped' into the charts, and suggest his career is on the skids. Oh, and to finish off I'll suggest he should get back together with Take That, whose current success I put down as one of the reasons he went into rehab in the first place. Get well soon, Robbie."

Good to see she's easing him back into her usual tirades of abuse! I'm sure it's all helpful to him, you know. She is, after all, great mates with him. She said so in that interview.
Interesting story appeared on Saturday, by the way. One which works as a nice window on the way in which Vicky sees her role in the world of tinpot showbiz journalism: Kerry laughs at fake sex tape. In it, drug-taking death-threat-sending Mother Of The Year Kerry Katona denies claims that she is the star of a mucky video circulating online. The video, the viewing of which will require a follow-up treatment involving a solution of one part Optrex to two parts Cillit Bang, apparently stars a lookalike.
Vicky's take on it all? "After viewings by several members of the Bizarre team braver than me, I can confirm it is NOT her. Kerry has also laughed off the clip, saying: 'It is not me in the video'"
So what can we learn from this?
1) Vicky hasn't seen the video but her 'team' have, and yet it's Vicky herself who categorically states "I can confirm it is NOT her". Not her team, but her. Go team!
2) The denial by the alleged star of the video comes secondary to Vicky's own words. First Vicky tells us it's a fake, and then as something of an afterthought she adds "Oh, and the woman who the story's actually about has also said it's a fake". This is like the head of Scotland Yard announcing "We firmly believe that the man in custody is Jack the Ripper as his eyes are too close together. Oh yeah, and he also confessed himself to killing a load of hookers."

You missed this classic
From March 5th:
Muse were already booked to open the venue on June 16. They will keep that date.
I bet they are furious their chance of making history has been snatched away.
Cobblers! They were first to announce and it always said they would be one of the first to play, not the first!

The purpose of this volume is to provide a series of critical and timely essays summarizing recent research in selected areas of current interest and controversy. Despite the promise of its title, it is in no sense a comprehensive survey of the physiology of the urinary system, nor does it pretend to be. However, because it is the intent of the publisher to produce new issues of the Review at regular intervals, it is anticipated that in time all important areas in renal and urinary tract physiology will be covered.

Now on to the reality check. J Gibson McIlvain doesn't deal in Ebony. We have found it not to be a commercially viable trade and have many luthier customers who make outstanding instruments that have moved to different species with the same great hardness, stability, and even tonal quality (for parts other than fret boards). As a hardwood importer we have been aware of some of the waste and unethical logging practices that go on in the forest for many many years. We stay away from it entirely and only source viable and legal material. First because the US Lacey act demands we do so, second (and most importantly) because it is the right thing to do. So I respond to Mr Taylor by saying, welcome to the party! We are so glad you have joined us in these realizations. The truth is, Ebony is not the only species suffering from B grade worthlessness. Nor is it the first species where suddenly B grade has become acceptable. Look at North American woods. There was a time when no one would ever take Cherry with sapwood in it. Today it is a fact of life. Walnut used to be knot free, wide, and long. Today "character" wood is even sought after. Nature is imperfect and today's designs seek to celebrate that by showcasing the imperfections that make the wood B grade (or whatever the grading system used) in the first place. Whether the B grade acceptance is by choice or by necessity this shift is far from new and certainly not limited to Ebony.
What is outstanding about Bob Taylor's video is that he is not a lumber importer by trade. His job is to make guitars. Of course in the process of that, he needs to buy exotic woods. The point being that those of us who buy lumber full time have known this for a while and have been trying to convince our customers to take B grade material. Now we are seeing a manufacturer (AKA one of our customers) coming to this realization on their own and taking a leadership role to make a change. This greater awareness is what is needed because the virtual monopoly Taylor has over the Ebony market and his ability to dictate to the market just doesn't happen in other species. We need more than one man to say B grade is acceptable. We can push Sapele that isn't as wide or long but still just as beautiful all day long but until others begin to do the same, it will always be B grade and unacceptable. Other companies will continue to sort only for the A grade and provide that to the market. The reality is that North America is the biggest offender. Europe and Asia are already buying B and C grade material.
Sustainable forestry practices are not new and many excellent sawmills are following them around the world. To deny that illegal logging happens is folly, but we need to celebrate the mills that are doing it right as well as create for them a market to sell the B grade material. As long as this other material remains not worthwhile, it will always be at risk of being needlessly cut down and left to rot. As soon as we create a market for it, then the poachers that still exist will find that they can make a living logging legally because they no longer have to sneak around protected lands.
We have said it before on this blog. We have to buy exotic lumber to keep the forests healthy. If the market crashes because a species is banned then the land owner suddenly has no way to maintain value in their investment other than selling the land for palm plantations or cattle grazing land. Ebony is just a tiny tip of the iceberg.

A Love So Beautiful
It starts off with high school classmates Chen Xiaoxi and Jiang Chen, who have also been neighbors since kindergarten. Chen Xiaoxi, a cheerful girl who doesn't study much, is expressive about her admiration towards Jiang Chen, the popular guy known for his looks and high grades. Jiang Chen is also a guy who is very distant and indifferent towards people because of his father's early death. Together, Jiang Chen and Chen Xiaoxi prepare for their Gao Kao, a university Entry Examination during their senior years in secondary school. Together with their classmates—the funny yet dirty-minded Lu Yang, athletic but blunt Lin Jingxiao, and cool national swimmer Wu Bo Song, they embark on high school life to university until their adult life.


text: This idea was presented at the 2013 House Vision exhibition in Tokyo, curated by Kenya Hara. "Here is a good example of taking advantage of Japanese traditional housing [while still moving forward]," he says. "Take the habit of taking off [one's] shoes at the entrance [of a house]. 'The high-tech entrance' could possibly manage our physical data, such as pulse, blood pressure, temperature and weight. The bed and carpet capture these data and send them to the hospital for the purpose of health control. This illustrates the possibility of the 'future-style house,' in which [even] the intelligent 'bed' could directly dialogize with the human body."

Getting lost is the absolute best way to discover a place. Like many aspect of life, holidays and travel seems to be more about returning to the self these days and it is often those spaces in between structure and planning where we find inspiration.
Imagine your mind and body is fully worked out and to get it back working again will take some time. If we try going with out proper rest, your system will protest. When we abuse our body, it let us know in the form of pains and aches. This is the time that we need to heal and the best place to do it is in a spa.
Considering that medical experts cite stress as the number one factor in illnesses, stress relief is the main priority of most spa seekers. With services that focus on de-stressing the mind, body and spirit, the benefits of a spa vacation go beyond mere relaxation and beautification.

She researched all of the color options out there and decided to use a product from an Australian company that will give you that sun-kissed glow without being orangey or artificial looking. I loved the end result. The color lasted a long while, I am still getting compliments. To learn more about Jennifer and Glow click HERE

Welcome to Rivoli Palace, the royal residence of the Rivoli lineage of Blogsvania. The Palace is situated on a hill overlooking Blog Lake and has a maze more complicated than CSS and XHTML. The architecture is reminiscent of the baroque …
You live in a four bedroom brick box with apricot walls, grey diamond patterned carpet and unmentionable tiles in the shower cubicle.
Ah, yes, well, maybe not. Let's start again.
Rivoli Palace is a place for my ramblings, meanderings, and the occasional rant.
I would have more properly called this The Kitchen Sink, only that blog name was already taken. Suggestions from friends for a name for this blog were no better. What tha? had connotations of WTF, which may or may not accurately reflect the ramblings from Rivoli Palace.
Here you will find updates of the generic kind – not so much what I've done in the last five minutes –
Hey, just rushed inside to update Rivoli Palace with the news that I'm playing fetch with the dog. It was funny, the dog …
but more of a generic list of topics I sometimes think about and may or may not send you a text or email to share such thoughts.
I may add a note or two from the pampered pooches in the Palace though.
Better go. Just thought of a great topic to write about… catch you next post.

A recent survey conducted by GE Capital Fleet Services at the annual NAFA Institute Expo in Detroit showed that almost half (48 percent) of C-level executives cite cost savings as a main focus for fleet management in 2010.
Of 75 fleet managers polled in the survey, 48 percent found cost savings to be deserving of primary focus, with 36 percent declaring it their top priority. Coming in second was driver safety, with 21 percent of respondents claiming it as their top concern.
"As we emerge from the downturn, companies continue to be strategic about their fleets while remaining attentive to costs and working to improve overall fleet efficiency," said Clarence Nunn, CEO of GE Capital Fleet Services. "With today's advanced fleet management tools and services such as telematics and data analytics, fleet managers are able to help their company reach financial and operational goals."
Fleet managers also said that real-time data such as miles driven and fuel consumption are the most important metrics for managing their fleets. Twenty-one percent of fleet managers surveyed selected workforce productivity metrics, such as jobs per day, travel time and deliveries per day, as another important data point that allows them most efficiently manage their fleets.
If you're looking for ways to control your fleet's operational costs, you can always sign up for a FleetCards USA card and save up to 15% on your fuel budget!

Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against a group of real estate developers in the Dominican Republic.
The Apprentice star has launched a $5.8 million legal battle against bosses at Cap Cana S.A. over allegations they failed to pay his firm, Trump Marks, licensing fees for using his name at their Trump at Capa Cana luxury resort.
The 66 year old, who filed the papers on Thursday (23Aug12), claims he has not received payment since 2009.
According to the New York Post, the lawsuit reads, "In or about May 2009, Cap Cana claimed that it had squandered the funds that it had received from buyers and lacked sufficient capital to pay Trump Marks any portion of the license fees which were admittedly owed months earlier".

A common misconception with Sphynx is that they need weekly or bi-weekly bathing. I do not find this to be true, and as a competitive level pet Groomer, I am all too aware of the damage over bathing can do to one's pet. Over bathing your Sphynx can lead to an imbalance in the natural PH of their skin, this causes the body to produce more sebum (oils) to compensate and self regulate the PH. The over production of sebum causes dirt to collect at a greater rate. I only bathe my cats every few months, their skin is soft and supple and clean of excess oils. Skin quality is dictated by several factors; genetics, diet, and environment. Feeding a balanced raw diet improves the over all health and appearance and cleanliness of the skin. Keep in mind, ear cleaning should still be done on a weekly basis. As a Sphynx has no hair in and around the base of the ear, they do produce a higher quantity of ear wax to account for a greater quantity of debris entering the ear canal. This can be gently cleaned out using an ear cleaning solution like Epi-Otic and some cotton pads. For the small nooks and crannies, I do carefully use a slightly moistenend q-tip. All Scantily Clad kittens are habituated to ear cleaning, bathing and nail trimming from a very young age so that they handle this process easier in their new homes.
A great description of a Sphynx is they are part monkey, part child and part dog. I often say that they are annoyingly affectionate! They are a lively, comical and intelligent breed. Regardless of what they are doing in the day, they are always up for a cuddle, and love being bundled up in blankets by their owners' side. They often treat newcomers and guests with an equal amount of love they share with their owners. They are not aloof or timid like your typical domestic cat, and thrive in a multi-human, multi-pet household. They bond readily with all family members as well as many different species of animals, from big dogs to rabbits and other cats. They love curling up in bed at night under the covers, and do require a lot of love and attention. They are first and foremost lap cats, but can be very entertaining with their playful antics. Many people love cats for their independant nature, so a Sphynx often appeals to a dog lover. They excel at animal assited therapy work, and I have had great ease in certifying several Sphynx for this job.
Sphynx History
Hairless cats have spontaneously occurred in many places including the United States, Canada, Australia, and France. In 1902, Mr. Shinick in Albuquerque, New Mexico, acquired two hairless cats from local Pueblo Indians. These two cats were brother and sister, Nellie and Dick, and were never bred. In 1950, two hairless kittens were reportedly born of Siamese parents in Paris, France. On January 30, 1966, in Ontario, Canada, a normally coated domestic black and white female, Elizabeth, produced a hairless black male kitten named Prune.
The beginning of the Sphynx breed, as we know it today, began in June of 1978 in Toronto, Canada, when a Siamese breeder, Shirley Smith, was called upon to rescue two abandoned kittens born of a domestic short hair female. One of these kittens was a domestic longhair female and the other a hairless black and white male, Bambi. Bambi's story was told in the May 1985 issue of Cats Magazine. He was found on the streets of Toronto. By the time he was rescued by Shirley Smith, he was in pretty bad shape. His left eye had been punctured in three places and his genitalia were so badly mutilated that everything had to be removed. Bambi eventually ended up with Linda Birks of Aztec Cattery. He was the oldest Sphynx on record at the time, as he passed away in June of 1997 at the age of 19 due to chronic ulcerative colitis. Bambi never produced any kittens of his own, but he helped greatly to propel the Sphynx into the public eye with the Cats Magazine article.
Bambi's mother later produced two hairless female kittens out of two different males in 1979 and 1980. These two girls, named Paloma and Punkie, were sent to Dr. Hugo Hernandez in Holland. Punkie was later bred to a white Devon Rex male, Curare van Jetrophin, which produced a litter of five kittens.
In 1975, a domestic short hair brown tabby female, Jezabelle, gave birth to a female hairless kitten named Epidermis on a farm owned by Milt and Ethelyn Pearson in Wadena, Minnesota. A year later, Jezabelle again gave birth to a female hairless kitten named Dermis. In 1981, the Pearsons reluctantly sold the two hairless girls to Kim Mueske of Z. Stardust Cattery.
Shortly thereafter, Kim attempted to breed the girls with a blue-eyed white American Shorthair, CFA GRC Sailaway Willie. Epidermis and Dermis produced seven kittens between them, all normal-coated. After three years had passed, Kim again tried with an American Shorthair named Red. Epidermis produced two normal-coated male kittens. Upon the advice of Dr. Solveig Pflueger, she bred one of the males, Z. Stardust Sneezy, back to his mother and was rewarded with three hairless kittens. In 1986, Kim planned to have Epidermis spayed, but she had other ideas. Cantaur's Hercules of Z. Stardust, a red spotted tabby Devon Rex who was also scheduled to be neutered, and Epidermis had one last fling resulting in a litter that produced the foundation queen, SGC Z. Stardust's Winnie Rinkle of Rinkurl, OD, TICA's first Outstanding Dam Sphynx. Winnie passed away in March of 2002 at the age of 16, after a long battle with breast cancer. She is prominent in many Sphynx pedigrees today. In 1989, Dermis passed away at the age of 13, and in 1991, Epidermis passed away at the age of 16.
Mrs. Georgiana Gattenby of Jen Jude Cattery, also in Minnesota, was working with hairless cats too. Her three foundation cats, Jen Jude King Tutt , Jen Jude Sheba, and Jen Jude Cleopatra, were acquired from Mrs. Pearson in the fall of 1978. On April 28, 1979, Jen Jude King Tutt and Jen Jude Sheba presented Mrs. Gattenby with her first hairless kitten, Jen Jude Different. Mrs. Gattenby sold her last two remaining cats, Jen Jude Yoda II and Jen Jude Girlie, to Brenda S. Pena in 1985 and 1986. Mrs. Gattenby was not in good health sadly, and died shortly thereafter. After repeated attempts, Jen Jude Yoda II and Jen Jude Girlie produced a litter of kittens in 1988. Two of them, CH Brenda's Bathsheba of Rinkurl and particularly QGC RW Brenda's Nefertiti of Rinkurl, OD, can also be found in many Sphynx pedigrees today.
In 1986, Walt and Carol Richards of Britanya Cattery in San Antonio, Texas, bred their Devon Rex female Britanya's Aida Lott to European International Grand Champion (IGC) Chnoem de Calecat, which produced a litter of four. These four, SGC Britanya's Lady Godiva, QGC Britanya's Lord E I'm Naked, OS, TGC Britanya's Baroness Quizzit, and CH Britanya's Gremlin of Petmark, were exhibited as kittens at the INCATS show in Anaheim, California, in July of 1986 where they created quite the sensation. SGC Britanya's Lady Godiva went on to become TICA's first Supreme Grand Champion Sphynx and TICA's first International Best of Breed Sphynx, and QGC Britanya's Lord E I'm Naked, OS, became TICA's first Outstanding Sire Sphynx. Britanya cats figure quite prominently in many pedigrees of today's Sphynx.

What is Coal Used For?
Chandramita Bora
Feb 6, 2019
Coal is a readily combustible sedimentary rock that is primarily composed of carbon. It is widely used for generating electricity in coal-fired power plants. Find out more about this fossil fuel and its various uses, in this post.
Quick Facts
United States
has the largest coal reserves in the world, while China, USA, India, Russia, and Japan are the largest users of this fossil fuel. These five countries account for about 76% of global coal use.
Coal is a fossil fuel, which has found a wide range of applications and uses in the modern world. Coal was believed to form during the carboniferous age (about 298 to 358.9 million years ago), from the dead plant and organic matter that accumulated at the bottom of the water bodies.
It is believed that during that period, much of the Earth was covered by swamps and lagoons, where many giant plant species grew. Due to natural processes like flood, plants and other organic matter got buried at the bottom of such water bodies.
Over a period of time, more and more soil and sediments deposited over them. As a result, the dead plant and organic matter got compressed, and then slowly formed the peat bogs.
The peat bogs were deeply buried under the Earth's surface due to the accumulation of sediments over them. The compressed peat then gradually metamorphosed into coal under the effects of extreme heat and pressure. The conversion of dead organic or plant matter into coal is known as carbonification.
Types of Coal
Coal is a sedimentary rock that is composed of carbon, though a few other elements, such oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and sulfur can also be present in small amounts. There are basically four types of coal - lignite, sub-bituminous, bituminous, and anthracite.
Lignite is the softest coal with high moisture content, which is often referred to as the brown coal. It is the lowest rank of coal that is mainly used as a fuel for steam-electric power generation.
It is softer than bituminous coal, but relatively harder than lignite. Its moisture content is lower than lignite.
The bituminous coal contains very little moisture, and is harder than both sub-bituminous and lignite coal.
It is the hardest coal with highest carbon content, and lowest moisture and ash content. The quality of anthracite is much higher than bituminous, sub-bituminous, and lignite.
What is Coal Used for?
Coal and its by-products have found numerous uses over the years. The following are some of the most noteworthy uses of this fossil fuel.
Electricity Generation
Coal is mainly used in coal-fired power plants to generate electricity. It is a reliable and low-cost energy source. In the US, about 50% of electricity is generated from coal. The lignite and bituminous coal are largely used for this purpose.
In coal-fired power plants, this fossil fuel is first pulverized, and then burned. It is burned in a furnace with a boiler, so that the heat produced in the furnace can boil water and produce steam.
The steam is then used to spin turbines, in order to generate electricity. A turbine is a rotary mechanical device capable of converting kinetic energy of a moving fluid into mechanical energy, by rotating the bladed rotor.
Steel Industry
The bituminous coal is used to make coke, which is primarily used in the steel industry. Coke is basically a coal residue that is used as a fuel and as a reducing agent. It used in smelting iron ore in a blast furnace, in order to produce pig iron. Pig iron is further treated to produce steel.
To produce coke, the bituminous coal is heated under controlled conditions, and in the absence of air at temperatures as high as 1,000°C. The bituminous coal that has low-sulfur and low-ash content is usually used for producing coke.
Space Heating
The anthracite coal is used for both residential and commercial space heating, as it is considered to be a good heating fuel. Along with space heating, it is used for electricity generation as well.
Molding Sand
The bituminous coal is a constituent of 'molding sand', which is also known as 'foundry sand'. Foundry sand is primarily used in making molds for metal casting. To make molding sand, the sand (silica or olivine) is mixed with a mixture of clay and water, finely ground bituminous coal (at a ratio of less than 5%), and several other substances.
When the molten metal is poured into the mold, the coal burns at a slow pace and releases reducing gases, and thus prevents the metal from penetrating the pores of the sand.
Coal Tar
Coal tar is a thick and black-colored residue that is obtained during coal distillation. It has numerous applications in the industrial sector, right from insulating buildings and making buildings waterproof, to the production of a wide range of products, which include:
Fabric and paints
The soaps and shampoos containing coal tar are used for conditions, like dandruff, skin sores, and psoriasis.
Not many people are aware of the fact that coal can be turned into ammonia and urea, which are used as fertilizers. Coal is first broken down into its constituent elements by a process called coal gasification.
In this process, coal is subjected to high pressure and temperature conditions in the presence of steam. As a result, a mixture of gases, called syngas is obtained. Syngas is mainly composed of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. The hydrogen obtained in this process can be used to make ammonia by combining it with nitrogen.
Gasoline and Diesel
The syngas obtained during the coal gasification process can also be converted into gasoline and diesel. The process of converting coal into hydrocarbons is known as Fischer-Tropsch process. In this process, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is converted into liquid hydrocarbons with the help of a number of chemical reactions.
Concrete Manufacturing
Coal is also employed for making concrete. Concrete is a building material that is made with cement, and coal is used as a source energy in the production of cement and bricks. Coal combustion products, such as 'fly ash' are also used in manufacturing cement.
Other Important Industrial Uses
Apart from these uses, coal is used in producing many other important industrial products, which include:
Synthetic rubber and fiber (rayon and nylon)
Carbon fiber
Activated carbon (used in water filtration and air purification)
It is true that fossil fuels, like coal are indispensable for economic growth and development. But our increasing reliance on them has escalated the problem of environmental pollution. The combustion of fossil fuels accounts for more than 90% of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States.
The coal-fired power stations are responsible for emitting not only carbon dioxide, but several other noxious gases, volatile organic compounds, and heavy metals, like mercury, arsenic, and uranium.
However, it is possible to limit the emission of such pollutants with the judicious use of fossil fuels, effective pollution control measures, and stringent environmental regulation laws. Also important is to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels as much as possible, and encourage research on alternative energy sources.

published in

since 1881.
It is distributed throughout the
Western United States
It is the second-largest metropolitan newspaper in the
United States
and the fourth-most widely distributed newspaper in the
United States
Its daily circulation reported in October 2008 was 739,000, down from a peak of 1.1 million. In addition to its print product, the Times also publishes a 24-hour news Web site at latimes.com.
most recent
Pulitzer Prize
was awarded in 2009. Reporters Bettina Boxall and Julie Cart won the Explanatory Reporting prize "for their fresh and painstaking exploration into the cost and effectiveness of attempts to combat the growing menace of wildfires across the western United States." Previously it had won thirty-eight Pulitzers, including four in editorial cartooning, and one each in spot news reporting for the 1965
Watts Riots
and the
1992 Los Angeles riots
. In
, the paper won five prizes, which is the third-most by any paper in one year (behind
The New York Times
(7) and
The Washington Post
The paper was first published every week and one half, as an evening paper, bearing the name,
Los Angeles Daily Times
on December 4, 1881, but soon went bankrupt. The paper's printer, the Mirror Company, took over the newspaper and installed former
Union Army
lieutenant colonel
Harrison Gray Otis
as an editor. Otis made the paper a financial success. In 1884, he bought out the newspaper and printing company to form the Times-Mirror Company.
Historian Kevin Starr lists Otis (with
Henry E.
Moses Sherman
) as a businessman "capable of manipulating the entire apparatus of politics and public opinion for his own enrichment." Otis's editorial policy was based on civic
, extolling the virtues of Los Angeles and promoting its growth.
Towards those ends, the paper supported efforts to expand the city's water supply by acquiring the watershed of the
Owens Valley
, an effort (highly) fictionalized in the Roman Polanski movie
which is also covered in
California Water Wars
The efforts of the
to fight local unions led to the October 1, 1910,
bombing of its headquarters
, killing twenty-one people. Two union leaders,
James and Joseph McNamara
, were charged. The
American Federation of Labor
hired noted trial attorney
Clarence Darrow
to represent the brothers, who eventually pleaded guilty. Clarence Darrow was later found innocent of giving a $4,000 bribe to a juryman. The paper soon relocated to the
Times Building
, a Los Angeles landmark.
Chandler era
On Otis's death in 1917, his son-in-law
Harry Chandler
took over the reins as publisher of the
. Harry Chandler was succeeded in 1944 by his son,
Norman Chandler
, who ran the paper during the rapid growth of
Los Angeles.
Norman's wife, heiress and fellow
Dorothy Buffum Chandler
, became active in civic affairs and led the effort to build the
Los Angeles Music Center
, whose main concert hall was named the
Dorothy Chandler Pavilion
in her honor.
Family members are buried at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery near Paramount Studios. The site also includes a memorial to the Times building bombing victims.
The paper was a founding co-owner of then-
turned independent television station
; it became that station's sole owner in 1951 and remained so until it sold it to
in 1963.
The fourth generation of family publishers,
Otis Chandler
, held that position from 1960 to 1980. Otis Chandler sought legitimacy and recognition for his family's paper, often forgotten in the power centers of the
Northeastern United States
due to its geographic and cultural distance. He sought to remake the paper in the model of the nation's most respected newspapers, notably
The New York Times
Washington Post
. Believing that the newsroom was "the heartbeat of the business", Otis Chandler increased the size and pay of the reporting staff and expanded its national and international reporting. In 1962, the paper joined with the
Washington Post
to form the Los Angeles Times-Washington Post News Service to syndicate articles from both papers for other news organizations.
During the 1960s, the paper won four Pulitzer Prizes, more than its previous nine decades combined.
A Pulitzer Prize in 1990 went to the
Jim Murray, considered by many to be one of the greatest sportswriters of the century.
The paper's early history and subsequent transformation was chronicled in an unauthorized history
Thinking Big
(1977, ISBN 0399117660), and was one of four organizations profiled by
David Halberstam
The Powers That Be
(1979, ISBN 0394503813; 2000 reprint ISBN 0252069412). It has also been the whole or partial subject of nearly thirty dissertations in communications or social science in the past four decades.

Los Angeles Times
paid circulation figures have decreased since the mid-1990s. It has recently been unable to pass the one million mark, a milestone easily surpassed in earlier decades. Some believe the circulation drop was a result of a liberal bias attributed to the paper, which alienated many readers; others attribute the drop to the increasing availability of alternate methods of obtaining news, such as the Internet, cable TV or radio. Others also believe that the drop was due to the circulation director (Bert Tiffany) retiring. Still others believe the circulation drop was a side effect of a succession of short-lived editors who were appointed by publisher Mark Willes after Otis Chandler relinquished day-to-day control in 1995. Willes, the former president of
General Mills
, was criticized for his lack of understanding of the newspaper business, and was derisively referred to by reporters and editors as
The Cereal Killer
Other possible reasons for the circulation drop include an increase in the single copy price from 25 cents to 50 cents or the rise in readers preferring to read the online version instead of the hard copy. Editor Jim O'Shea, in an internal memo announcing a May 2007, mostly voluntary
reduction in force
, characterized the decrease in circulation as an "industry-wide problem" which the paper must counter by "growing rapidly on-line," "break[ing] news on the web and explain[ing] and analyz[ing] it in our newspaper." 2004 Pulitzer Prize winner Nancy Cleeland who took O'Shea's buyout offer, did so because of "frustration with the paper's coverage of working people and organized labor" (the beat that earned her Pulitzer). She speculated that the paper's revenue shortfall could be reversed by expanding coverage of
economic justice
topics which she believes are increasingly relevant to
Southern California
; she cited the paper's attempted hiring of a "celebrity justice reporter" as an example of the wrong approach.
In 2000, the Times-Mirror Company was purchased by the
Tribune Company
Chicago, Illinois

, and others remain).
John Carroll
, former editor of the
Baltimore Sun
, was brought in to restore the luster of the newspaper. During his reign at the Los Angeles Times he eliminated more than 200 jobs, but it was not enough for parent company Tribune. Despite operating profits of 20 percent the Tribune executives were unsatisfied with returns and by 2005 John Carroll had left the
Los Angeles Times
Dean Baquet
replaced John Carroll, who refused to impose the additional cutbacks mandated by Tribune. Baquet was the first African American to hold this type of editorial position at a top-tier daily. During Baquet and Carroll's time at the paper it won 13 Pulitzers, more than any other paper but the
New York Times
. Subsequently, Baquet was himself ousted for not meeting the demands of the Tribune Group - as was publisher Jeffrey Johnson - and replaced by James O'Shea of the Chicago Tribune. O'Shea himself left in January 2008 after a budget dispute with publisher
David Hiller
The paper's content and design style has been overhauled several times in recent years in attempts to help increase circulation. In 2000, a major change more closely organized the news sections (related news was put closer together) and changed the "Local" section to the "California" section with more extensive coverage. Another major change in 2005 saw the Sunday "Opinion" section retitled the Sunday "Current" section, with a radical change in its presentation and columnists featured. There are regular cross-promotions with co-owned KTLA to bring evening news viewers into the

Also in 2006, the Times announced its circulation at 851,532, down 5.4% from 2005. The
loss of circulation is the highest out of the top ten newspapers in the U.S. Despite this recent circulation decline, many in the media industry have lauded the newspaper's effort to decrease its reliance on 'other-paid' circulation in favor of building its 'individually-paid' circulation base - which showed a marginal increase in the most recent circulation audit. This distinction reflects the difference between, for example, copies distributed to hotel guests free of charge (other-paid) versus subscriptions and single-copy sales (individually-paid).
In December 2006, a team of Times reporters delivered management with a critique of the paper's online news efforts known as the
Spring Street Project
. The report, which condemned the
as a "web-stupid" organization,"was followed by a shakeup in management of the paper's Web site, latimes.com, and a rebuke of print staff who have "treated change as a threat."
Under Sam Zell's ownership
On April 2, 2007, the
Tribune Company
announced its acceptance of
Sam Zell
's offer to buy the
Chicago Tribune
, the
Los Angeles Times
, and all other company assets. Zell announced plans to take the company private and sell off the
Chicago Cubs
baseball club. He put up for sale the company's 25 percent interest in
Comcast SportsNet
Chicago. Up until the time of shareholder approval, Los Angeles billionaires
Ron Burkle
Eli Broad
had the right to submit a higher bid, in which case Zell would have received a $25 million buyout fee.
The paper reported on July 3, 2008, that it planned to cut 250 jobs by
Labor day
and reduce the number of published pages by 15%. That included about 17% of its news staff, as part of the newly private media company's mandate to slash costs. Since Zell bought Tribune, the paper has been struggling to deal with a heavy load of debt. "We've tried to get ahead of all the change that's occurring in the business and get to an organization and size that will be sustainable," Hiller said.
The changes and cuts have been controversial, prompting criticism from such disparate sources as a
Jewish Journal commentary
, an anonymously written employee blog called
Tell Zell
and a satirical Web site,
Not the L.A.
In January 2009, the
increased its single copy price from 50 to 75 cents and the elimination of the separate California/Metro section, folding it into the front section of the newspaper. The Times also announced seventy job cuts in news and editorial, or a 10% cut in payroll.
Competition and rivalry

was the

In the 1990s, the Times published various editions catering to far-flung areas.
Editions included a

Washington, D.C.
and the

One of the Times' best-known news columns is "Column One," a feature that appears daily on the front page to the left-hand side. Established in September 1968, it is a place for the weird and the interesting; in the
How Far Can a Piano Fly?
(a compilation of Column One stories) introduction,
Patt Morrison
writes that the column's purpose is to elicit a "Gee, that's interesting, I didn't know that" type of reaction.
The Times also embarks on a number of investigative journalism pieces, researching and dissecting a certain scandal or unfavored part of society.
A series in December 2004 on the
King-Drew Medical Center
led to a Pulitzer Prize and a more thorough coverage of the hospital's troubled history.
Most recently, Lopez wrote an acclaimed five-part series on the civic and humanitarian disgrace of Los Angeles'

Recent controversies
It was revealed in 1999 that a revenue-sharing arrangement was in place between the
Staples Center
in the preparation of a 168-page magazine about the opening of the sports arena.
The magazine's editors and writers were not informed of the agreement, which breached the "Chinese wall" that traditionally has separated advertising from journalistic functions at American newspapers. Publisher Mark Willes also had not prevented advertisers from pressuring reporters in other sections of the newspaper to write stories favorable to their point of view.

Although it's known as "the sandy state," for all its beaches and shoreline camping, inland camping in Rhode Island are as beautiful, diverse, and exciting as those along the ocean. If you want the best of both worlds — woodland and ocean, you're in luck. There are many campgrounds less than 30 minutes from the beach. So, you can spend the day at the beach, and enjoy the quiet woods of your campsite inland— you know. In case there's a tsunami in the middle of the night.[1] It never hurts to be practical and safe.

Camping in Rhode Island – Moonlight Meadows Farm Campground
With four bookable sites, and room for at least that many tents, the camping experience here is personal and pleasant. Moonlight Meadows is a Hipcamp. Hipcamp is a means for the property owner to help cover the expensive taxes that owning land creates. This property is split out of an old farm that has become overgrown over the years. Mostly forest now, and tucked in behind other properties, you'll have the illusion that you are in a National Forest. Wildlife is abundant, and if you enjoy waking up to deer, turkeys, foxes and more around you—this might be your dream campground. You have to bring your own water, there are no hookups.

Camping in Rhode Island – Charlestown Breachway Campground
Charlestown Beach Road
Charlestown, RI 02813
Phone: (401) 364-7000 or (401) 322-8910
The term breachway is not a misspelling of the word "beach." In 1904, the townsfolk of Charlestown Beach asked the General Assembly to appropriate monies for a permanent "breachway." They explained that the natural breach in the area was filled in by the tides depositing sand, thereby creating a barrier that separated the pond from the ocean. A permanent breach, they argued, would prevent the water in Ninigret/Pawaget/ Charlestown pond from becoming brackish and unfit for the cultivation and harvesting of oysters, an industry important to the area. The General Assembly agreed and the breach was built.
Located on the east side of "the Breachway" is a camping area with sites for 75 self-contained RV's, a state beach, some of the best saltwater fishing in South County. There are no hookups. The Charlestown Breachway does not have accommodations for canvas or tent camping. All camping units must have permanent holding tanks for potable water, grey water, and black water. Any bathroom equipment must be permanently fixed to the unit. Sorry van dwellers. Unless your van conversion meets these requirements keep moving. There is a restroom, but it has no shower facilities. There's a day-use area with parking for 100 cars, a boat ramp and a parking area for boat trailers. There is a lifeguard on duty. No animals allowed.
Camping in Rhode Island – Fishermen's State Park and Campground
1011 Point Judith Rd
Narragansett, Rhode Island 02882
Phone: (401) 789-8374
Although it's an angler's and camper's paradise now, the history of Fisherman's State Park is both deeper and darker than its tourist reputation today. Located on Point Judith Neck, the farthest extension of the Rhode Island mainland into the Atlantic, the area is subject to rough storms, a dangerous ledge, and crisscrossing tides. The first lighthouse to guide sailors into Narragansett Bay was first erected in 1810. In colonial times, the peninsula was used by the local Narragansett Planters as a natural corral for their flocks of sheep, herds of cattle, and their famous Narragansett Pacers, a popular breed of riding horses. Simply by fencing off the northern neck, a gigantic, protected meadow was created.
Point Judith's most important historical role, however, occurred in the war years of the 1940s. Naval strategists considered Narragansett Bay as the best safe haven and rallying point for of any place from Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras and rivaled only by Hampton Roads, Virginia.
From Fort Greene at Point Judith to Fort Church in Little Compton, a series of coastal artillery emplacements guarded the water approaches to significant shipyards, torpedo and Quonset Hut factories, test firing ranges, ammunition storage dumps, material staging areas, destroyer and aircraft carrier berths, and the Newport Naval Station and War College. Offshore electric warning systems intercepted potential submarine attacks. Minefields were installed, and nets were strung across the Bay entrances.
Fort Greene, at Point Judith, was divided into three distinct "reservations," East, West, and South. In the East Reservation, known as Battery Hamilton, a two-gun battery featuring 16" guns was installed in the year between September of 1940 and September of 1941. The shells fired from these guns weighed over a ton each; they could reach a distance out to sea of 26 miles. Paired with a matched set in Little Compton the arcs covered by these batteries overlapped, making the surface approach by enemy ships towards Narragansett Bay highly problematical. These guns were housed in concrete bunkers and covered by earth and appeared from the outside and from above as low coastal hills.
Within the bunkers were radio rooms and ammunition storage. A second battery was begun at the West Reservation of Fort Greene, now Fishermen's Memorial, but was never completed. What was completed was a command post in an observation silo to assist in directing fire. The silo, still standing and now used as a park headquarters, was designed to look like a farm complex. It is just one of the small number of surviving structures marking Rhode Island's participation in World War II.
Today there are 182 campsites in 'seaside village' atmosphere. Campers will find neatly trimmed grass, tree-lined paths, and a variety of family activities. Whether you're looking for a place to pitch a tent and enjoy a campfire, or park your R.V. and play some basketball or tennis, Fishermen's can accommodate you. One of Fishermen's most attractive features is its close proximity to popular State Beach areas like Scarborough, Roger Wheeler, and Salty Brine. The Park is also just 1 mile from the Block Island Ferry Dock.

Camping in Rhode Island – Melville Ponds Campground
181 Bradford Avenue
Portsmouth, RI 02871
Phone: (401) 682-2424
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Melville Ponds Campground is one of the few places for tent campers on Aquidneck Island. The rates are reasonable, and the accommodations are great. Each tent site is level and has a picnic table and fire pit. They offer very clean bathrooms, including six locking, private, gender-neutral bathrooms with showers, as well as a women and men's bathrooms, each with 2-4 stalls, showers, and sinks. Reviewers on Yelp and other sites all give it a strong thumbs up for cleanliness and quiet.
The camp store sells wood and lots of other necessities at good prices – no "jacked-up" campground prices. The camp store prices and in-town prices for the same items are the same price. The tent sites are little nooks, so you have greenery all around you on three sides. The sites are close enough to say hello to neighbors, but also offer everyone privacy. RVers, the campground has complete hookups and a dump station. If you have an RV or camper consider staying in the lower area with all the lovely old trees rather than the lot next to the camp store, thought the lot next to the store might be more convenient for very large rigs.
Camping in Rhode Island – Burlingame State Park
1 Burlingame State Park
Charlestown, RI 02813
Phone: (401) 322-7994
Email: email@example.com
The campground here features 755 rustic campsites and 20 cabins with conveniently located restrooms with shower facilities, a playground, arcade, freshwater beach, canoe rentals and hiking trails. Utilities are not available at any of the campsites, but there are centrally located facilities. Activities at the park include fishing, swimming, picnicking, boating and hiking. The area north of Buckeye Brook Road, abutting the Pawcatuck River, is primarily a hunting area.
The Burlingame State Park is a historic park, with 3,100 acres of rocky woodland that surrounds Watchaug Pond in Charlestown. The park was first a hunting reserve in the 30s, and only later became a campground. During the 1930s Burlingame became home to the 141st Company of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). It was the first CCC camp, and first state headquarters, and one of five such camps in Rhode Island.
Beginning in 1933, out of work young men in their late teens and early twenties were put to work making roads and trails across the country. They also built fire places, camp sites, and picnic areas, and made recreational improvements to the beaches of Watchaug Pond. Forest management activities went on throughout Rhode Island, particularly in the aftermath of the Hurricane of '38 which downed thousands of trees and disrupted roads and public improvements. The CCC was disbanded in 1942 because of the overwhelming need to draft manpower for WW II.
During WWII, because of its proximity to the Charlestown Naval Air Station, Burlingame was used to house Naval personnel. At other times, it was an army camp, and a rest stop for British Navy personnel. For a while it even did duty as a prisoner of war camp. Following the war, a portion of the park served the American Legion as a youth summer camp. "Legion Town" re-used facilities employed by the CCC from 1946 until 1961. For a long time, all the Christmas trees used at the State House holiday season came from Burlingame.
A four-phase upgrade of the camping sites, sanitary infrastructure and maintenance amenities was undertaken in 1991. Using a combination of National Park Service grants and the state's Recreation Area Development Funds improvements were made to the park. Other public funds from the Federal Environmental Protection Agency and DEM have been used to study the yearly cycle of Watchaug Pond so that the cleanliness of the pond can be observed and maintained.

LAKE PLACID, N.Y.—Sophomore Jack Blanchard (Dover, Mass.) and MacIntyre Henderson (Park City, Utah) both recorded top-five finishes as the Babson College men's alpine ski team won the slalom for the first time in program history at the United States Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association (USCSA) National Championships on Friday at Whiteface Mountain.
The Beavers' top three skiers finished two slalom runs in a total time of 5:11.59, which was four one-hundredths of a second ahead of runner-up Castleton. Rocky Mountain came in third and Sierra Nevada finished fourth to create a four-way tie atop the combined standings leaderboard, which includes results from Wednesday's giant slalom race. After breaking the tie, the Green and White officially came in fourth in the combined standings marking just its second top-five national championship finish in program history.
Blanchard and Henderson both earned their second and third All-America awards of the week after finishing within 2.5 seconds of the overall winner, Paul Rechberger of Castleton on Friday. Blanchard came in second and Henderson fifth in the slalom, while both earned podium finishes in the combined standings with Blanchard in second position and Henderson in third.
Sophomore Sean Robinson (Reno, Nev.) moved up seven spots with a strong final run on Friday to place 13th in the slalom, and also placed 51st in the combined standings. Senior John Boland (Waitsfield, Vt.) finished 60th in the slalom and was 38th in the overall standings.
Sophomore Eli Wolfson (Woodland Hills, Calif.) was unable to finish both slalom runs on Friday and came in 70th in the combined standings.
• Prior to Friday's victory, the Beavers had never finished higher than third in either the slalom or giant slalom.
• Henderson joins Carter Dowd '16 as the only two six-time All-Americans in program history. Robinson also collected his first All-America honor in the slalom.
• Boland, Blanchard, Henderson and sophomore Douglas DeLuca (Holderness, N.H.), who did not compete at nationals due to injury, were named to the USCSA Scholar All-America team on Thursday.
