We have experimentally investigated how buoyancy affects the spa- tiotemporal pattern formation at various solution thicknesses in three-dimensional medium. In the chlorite–tetrathionate reaction a stable structure propagating hor- izontally with constant velocity and geometry develops when appropriately thick solutions are studied. Both the horizontal and the vertical projections of the result- ing three-dimensional structures are quantitatively characterized: the smooth leading edge of the front is independent of the solution thickness and the structured trailing edge ends in a center cusp with a constant angle. a)E-mail: [email protected] 1 A vertical planar reaction front in a fluid medium is always unstable hydrody- namically under gravity if the density of the reactant and the product mixture is different. The geometry of the front—defined as the thin zone where the autocatalytic reaction takes place—is distorted as the less dense fluid tends to advance on top of the other. The propagation of such a self-organized inter- face is investigated experimentally in a three-dimensional medium, where the density decrease results from the temperature rise caused by the exothermic reaction. Simultaneous monitoring from the top and the side reveals that the arising front has a smooth leading profile and a structured trailing edge ending in a cusp. The systematic variation of the thickness of the container indicates that for suffic

Dermal FillersHome / Cosmetic Injectables / Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers
Youthful healthy skin is supported by collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. As we age, the skin loses some of this support as well as its hydration. This gives a loss of volume and definition to some areas of the face.
Dermal fillers can be used to replace some of this lost support to restore volume and give back the definition that is lost with age. The result is a natural look – soft and subtle. Results are immediate.
Not all dermal fillers are the same. At Iconic Medispa, we use non-animal sourced Hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers. They are amongst the most advanced formulations available. Results look and feel completely natural.
Areas treated include: Lips, Cheek bones, Nose, Chin, Nasolabial Lines, Marionette Lines
What are the benefits?
One of the effects of aging is loss of volume in the skin. Dermal fillers replace this lost volume and restore facial contours. They also improve hydration and therefore the health of the skin. Areas treated with dermal fillers not only have improved contours, but also improvement in the overlying skin. Dermal fillers can be used to rejuvenate and enhance many areas including: lips, naso-labial folds, marionette lines, cheekbones, tear troughs (dark circles around eyes), nose and chin.
Who is it suitable for? How safe is it?
Dermal fillers are a safe and effective treatment for almost anyone who requires improvement in soft tissue contours. For younger patients the areas treated are typically: lip shape and volume, and cheekbone enhancement.
Dermal filler treatment is a non-surgical procedure. Whilst all medical procedures carry some degree of risk, at Iconic Medispa it is only performed by highly trained clinicians with many years of experience using the latest techniques. The products we use are high quality, non-animal sourced Hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers. Your body breaks this down naturally over time.
What is the procedure?
The treatment involves an assessment of your face and smile dynamics. This is so that we know your facial dynamics will be improved from the treatment. Local anaesthetics is given so that you remain comfortable and do not feel pain during the entire course of the procedure. This is because we know you will get a better result if you are fully relaxed during treatment, and not tense. The procedure usually involves a series of injections into the areas of concern. Results are usually visible immediately after the treatment, however it continues to improve over a 2 week period as the filler becomes integrated with the skin. Downtime is minimal, but there may be some minor swelling or bruising. This can be hidden by make-up.
How many treatments do I need?
Usually, a single treatment is able to address your aesthetic concerns. For some people however, multiple treatments may be required. The number of treatments you need depends on: the results you want to achieve, and the area treated. The results typically last between 6 and 24 months.

ITEM#: 13509439"The Idea of Black Criminality was crucial to the making of modern urban America. Khalil Gibran Muhammad chronicles how, when, and why modern notions of black people as an exceptionally dangerous race of criminals first emerged. Well known are the lynch mobs and racist criminal justice practices in the South that stoked white fears of black crime and shaped the contours of the New South. In this illuminating book, Muhammad shifts our attention to the urban North as a crucial but overlooked site for the production and dissemination of those ideas and practices." "Following the 1890 census - the first to measure the generation of African Americans born after slavery - crime statistics, new migration and immigration trends, and symbolic references to America as the promised land were woven into a cautionary tale about the exceptional threat black people posed to modern urban society. Excessive arrest rates and overrepresentation in northern prisons were seen by many whites - liberals and conservatives, northerners and southerners - as indisputable proof of blacks' inferiority. What else but pathology could explain black failure in the land of opportunity? Social scientists and reformers used crime statistics to mask and excuse anti-black racism, violence, and discrimination across the nation, especially in the urban North." "The Condemnation of Blackness is the most thorough historical account of the enduring link between blackness and criminality in the making of modern urban America. It is a startling examination of why the echoes of America's Jim Crow past continue to resonate in "color-blind" crime rhetoric today."--BOOK JACKET.

A union-led lawsuit against charter schools is not only misguided in its stated aims, but also threatens serious collateral damage to the LSU and Southern Lab schools; to the Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts; to the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts; and to special schools of the state juvenile justice system.
Judge Wilson Fields, of the 19th Judicial District, should dismiss the suit forthwith.
First, the background. Both the Iberville Parish School Board and the Louisiana Association of Educators (a school workers union) have filed suit against the state to stop the Department of Education from financing one type of charter school through the state's Minimum Foundation Program — a constitutionally protected program that guarantees a minimum funding level for public schools.
They argue, although not convincingly, that Type 2 charters, which operate directly under the jurisdiction of the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, violate an alleged constitutional requirement that the MFP money can be used only under the purview of traditional city or parish school boards.
In response, the state and the Louisiana Association of Public Charter Schools note that the constitution leaves it up to BESE and/or the Legislature to define city and parish schools, and that the Legislature and BESE, via duly passed public law, have decreed that "The definition of city, parish, or local public school systems and schools shall include city or parish school systems; Recovery School District including operated and Type 5 charter schools; Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts (LSMSA); New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA); New Type 2 Charter schools; Legacy Type 2 Charter schools; Office of Juvenile Justice (OJJ) schools; and Louisiana State University and Southern University Lab schools."
From a legal standpoint, then, state law, pursuant to the state constitution, clearly includes Type 2 charters within those that qualify for MFP financing.
From a practical standpoint, excluding them from the MFP also would exclude the lab schools, NOCCA and the others that are included in, and only via, the exact same paragraph used to justify the charters' participation in the program. In an Oct. 29 court hearing, Fields explicitly asked if the lab schools and other special programs would, by logical extension, be denied MFP funding along with the Type 2 charters — and the union's lawyer said yes.
The judge asked all sides for supplementary briefs on the subject, and LAE argued, essentially, that because they were only asking for denial of the charters' funding, without including the other special schools, any injunction denying that funding would be limited to the charters. Yet — note this! — LAE also effectively acknowledged that denial of funding for the charters could well set precedent for denial of funding for the lab schools and others.
Rather blithely, they wrote: "However, if there is any such impact, funding for the LSU and SU laboratory schools for the 2015-2016 Fiscal Year and subsequent fiscal years may be accomplished through the General Appropriations Act. …"
But that gives the whole game away. The entire point of the MFP program is to guarantee a basic level of financing to the educational institutions without needing to rely on the political vagaries of the legislative process. If the charters are excluded from the MFP, then any challenge to the lab schools and NOCCA would similarly succeed at barring them, too, from minimum funding — and put their very existence back at the mercy of short-term politics.
(The LAE brief made some other distinctions, as well, but those distinctions were all foofaraw. As the union attorney admitted on Oct. 29, the legal logic tying the charters' fates with that of the lab schools is rather compelling.)
The lab schools are a blessing. NOCCA and the Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts are blessings. The juvenile justice schools are blessings. And, by undeniable popular acclaim, the charter schools are a tremendous blessing to parents, the students and the state. The lawsuit's goals are as ill-advised as its legal arguments are sketchy. The suit would break what's already working. The school of life teaches that it's better to leave well enough alone.

Revamping a bedroom in one weekend sounded so capable and quick; reality is here I am caught up again unable to do too much on the wikia because it over shot. It took 3 hours to get out of the house to buy 7 boxes from my hometowns local shops in order to do it.And I'm still going to be working on it tomorrow by the looks of it.
I apologise, I also set aside time to edit on the wikia and loose it to random events in life, be it "your ill" or "your busy". >_<'
Good news is; I've been warned I must have it by Friday done and dusted for an plumber visiting our house to inspect the heating system. Thus, I can 100% note this weekend I'll be free (I hope).

meet your specialist trainer Ken Liddell
Bark Busters Home Dog Training Kendall Will County, Aurora, Naperville, Bolingbrook IL
When I started fostering dogs I knew my dog wouldn't be happy about it, but I thought she would get used to it. I was wrong, she continued to be aggressive, kept trying to bite them and was very territorial. It was so out of control that I had to send my first foster to a different home thinking maybe she just didn't like other female dogs. When I got a smaller, male dog, she had the same reaction and nothing could get her to accept them. I was ready to give up on my hopes of helping other dogs when I came across Bark Busters. When Ken called me, I expected he'd just get some basic information, tell me the price and set up an appt, but no, Ken actually had a conversation with me, gave me pointers over the phone and did not pressure me into using this service at all. I met with Ken twice and he helped me come to the realization that my relationship with my dog Yuki, would influence how she responds to changes in her environment. It was really simple things, that I never would have thought of and I am so grateful that we met. Now, two months later, I continue to foster and have been able to integrate these dogs into my home without disrupting the household. Yuki can be off leash in the same room as a foster dog, sit next to them and just recently, has begun playing outside with them. While this may not seem like a big deal to most, it has made the biggest difference in our lives and has helped me to continue my passion of fostering and finding homes for unwanted dogs. This was a small investment of time and money, but the rewards are ongoing. Thank you Ken and Barkbusters! You've helped me with my mission to save lives.Teresa G.March 17 2016

how we can help you and your dog
The Bark Busters Home Dog Training Methods helps solve dog behavior issues such as aggression towards people or other animals
- Cure embarrassing habits like barking, jumping up on people, scratching & whining at doors or inappropriate toileting.
- Create an obedient dog or puppy that will happily walk on the lead without tugging, sit or stay on command, and come immediately when called.
- Set off-limit areas for your dog.
- Reduce the stress of separation anxiety without the need for sedatives or drugs.
We teach you to communicate with your pet.
Blah, blah, blah, bad dog! blah blah. Do you think your dog isn't listening to you? Maybe you're simply not speaking his language. You may have heard of dog whisperer or dog listener techniques. The Bark Busters dog training method is based on the way dogs communicate with each other and how they learn from older, more important dogs in the pack. This is what makes our dog training unique and effective.
Why do we train in your home?
Your dog lives with a family, in a home. This is where he misbehaves most often so this is where training is most effective. Dogs learn by association. Bark Busters teaches your dog to listen in the home environment. If he does not listen at home, he will not listen outside your territory.
Training in your home is a one-on-one system without the distraction of other dogs or the stress of being sent away for training.
Of course, where you are experiencing problems outside the home such as pulling on the lead or dog aggression, we will set up controlled training situations in the park or wherever is most practical.

Welcome to my site. I'm glad you've come.
I hope you will find bits of your life reflected in my songs. After all, that is a big part of my job and joy in writing and performing. I write the songs as they come to and through me, but they are meant to be heard by human ears and hearts and work their playful or thoughtful secrets into your soul. They are meant to touch you in some way. My songs are like my children and my best hope for them is that they go out into the world and do good work. I am grateful for every song I have ever written. It has always astounded me that one moment there is just air…space, and the next moment, there is a song that has the capability to make a person feel something. It's a wondrous miracle and I am proud to be a part of the process.
Once again, due to my body rejecting the first set of good lungs, I will be put on the transplant list soon. I look forward to singing again and seeing you out there!

Present at the Reconciliation
By Michael R. Beschloss;
Published: October 27, 1991
THE TURN From the Cold War to a New Era: The United States and the Soviet Union, 1983-1990. By Don Oberdorfer. Illustrated. 514 pp. New York. Poseidon Press. $25.
In December 1988, during a private New York meeting documented in Don Oberdorfer's authoritative new book, Mikhail S. Gorbachev told President-elect George Bush, "You'll see soon enough that I'm not doing this for show and I'm not doing this to undermine you or to surprise you or to take advantage of you. I'm playing real politics. I'm doing this because I need to. I'm doing this because there's a revolution taking place in my country. I started it. And they all applauded me when I started it in 1986 and now they don't like it so much, but it's going to be a revolution, nonetheless."
The Soviet leader could not know how right he was. Completed seven months before the Russian revolution of August 1991, "The Turn: From the Cold War to a New Era" focuses on the improvement in United States-Soviet relations during the middle and late 1980's. In so doing, it anticipates a coming historical dispute that will, no doubt, continue for years, if not decades: When, precisely, did the cold war end?
To reach a firm answer, we will have to have a great deal more hindsight and information -- particularly about internal Soviet decision making -- than we have today. In the meantime, Mr. Oberdorfer, a foreign affairs correspondent for The Washington Post, has brought us the most thorough account yet of what we can all agree was a crucial era in world politics. "The Turn" does much to fill the gap between the daily journalism of the time and the history that will one day be written on the basis of classified documents released by both Governments.
The author's long and excellent reputation for conscientious reporting has helped him to gain useful access to the upper ranks of the Ronald Reagan and George Bush foreign policy hierarchies, especially to his fellow Princetonian, the former Secretary of State George P. Shultz, whom he interviewed 13 times. Mr. Oberdorfer has also exploited opportunities offered by glasnost, interviewing more than 32 Soviet officials, scholars and journalists in Washington and Moscow.
His chronicle opens in 1983, when the Soviets downed a civilian Korean airliner and walked out of the Geneva arms talks; faulty intelligence caused them to fear, we now know, an imminent American surprise nuclear attack. The following year, Soviet-American relations were in such disrepair that a White House visit by the chilly veteran Soviet Foreign Minister, Andrei A. Gromyko, to conduct the highest-level dialogue between the two countries in four years, was greeted with public jubilation.
During the 1984 Presidential campaign, the Democratic candidate, Walter Mondale, complained that Mr. Reagan was the first President since Herbert Hoover who had not met with his Soviet counterpart. Who might have anticipated that seven American-Soviet summit meetings would be held during the next six years? "The Turn" is largely the story of those summit meetings and the interstitial meetings between American and Soviet foreign ministers.
One thread through the diplomacy of the Reagan period was the President's cherished space-based Strategic Defense Initiative, which led Mr. Gorbachev into dark imaginings: a choice between further ransacking the exhausted Soviet economy or being faced someday with American dominion over the world. As the author shows, as early as the Geneva summit meeting of September 1985 Mr. Gorbachev complained: "Why should I believe what you have to say about sharing the results of research? . . . If S.D.I. is implemented, only God himself would know where it would lead."
In 1986, frustrated by Mr. Reagan's undiminished enthusiasm for the program, Mr. Gorbachev dragged his feet on another meeting and then pressed the President for a surprise October meeting at Reykjavik with only one week's notice. There, the Soviet leader dealt the first hand in what Mr. Shultz described to Mr. Oberdorfer as "the highest-stakes poker game ever played." After hearing out Mr. Gorbachev's suggestions for heretofore unimaginable cuts in nuclear arsenals and delivery systems, Mr. Reagan told his aides, "He's brought a whole lot of proposals, but I'm afraid he's going after S.D.I."
Nevertheless Mr. Reagan raised the ante, calling for the elimination of all Soviet and American nuclear weapons. Mr. Shultz was warily silent about this. Sounding like John Foster Dulles on Dwight Eisenhower, the Secretary of State later told the author: "I really felt that he's the President. He got elected twice. He has made no secret of his view on nuclear weapons. So who am I to stop him from saying what he believes and what he's campaigned on?"
Despite the failure of Mr. Reagan's proposal and the Reykjavik meeting's collapse, the two leaders were sufficiently reconciled that they hastened negotiations over a treaty to ban intermediate nuclear forces, which they signed at the White House in December 1987. Mr. Oberdorfer describes a large session in the Cabinet Room that included Mr. Reagan, Mr. Gorbachev and many of their aides. When Mr. Reagan "seemed unable to remember or relate the U.S. position, Shultz took over the conversation," while his boss "sat by in embarrassed silence." Later, Mr. Shultz frankly told the President that it had been "a terrible performance," and persuaded him to move future such meetings to the privacy of the Oval Office.
Mr. Oberdorfer effectively conveys Mr. Gorbachev's growing impatience with Mr. Reagan, and his worries about George Bush's skepticism toward perestroika. Mr. Gorbachev told Mr. Shultz that the Vice President must be "trying to display some muscles" on the campaign trail. At the Malta summit meeting of December 1989, in the wake of the fall of Eastern Europe, Mr. Gorbachev privately confided to the new President that he had been waiting for evidence that Mr. Bush was ready to move the Soviet-American relationship forward more tangibly. No longer. Presented with a host of American proposals to aid Soviet reform, Mr. Gorbachev declared: "Now I know."
The author wisely observes that "we are far too close to the events recorded here" to reach ultimate judgments about them. Yet his readers might have been better served had he strained a bit harder to show them the forest as well as the trees. His prose is usually serviceable, but one sometimes wonders whether his editor occasionally fell asleep. Mr. Oberdorfer writes, for example, that Mr. Shultz "worked patiently to apply steady inputs over time toward his long-range goal of improving U.S.-Soviet relations."
Such flaws do not seriously damage the book's central achievement. Mr. Oberdorfer succeeds in his goal: to record "what can be learned at the present time about one of the great turning points of history, and to convey something of the excitement, vitality and uncertainty with which it unfolded before our eyes."

Psychodynamic therapyThe aim of psychodynamic therapy is to bring the unconscious mind into consciousness - helping individuals unravel, experience and understand their true, deep-rooted feelings in order to resolve them. It takes the view that our unconscious holds onto painful feelings and memories, and that the defenses we develop to ensure these difficult memories do not surface from our unconscious often do more harm than good.

Solution-focused therapySolution focused therapy is a goal-directed collaborative approach to psychotherapeutic change that is conducted through direct observation of clients' responses to a series of precisely constructed questions. (learn more)
Supportive therapySupportive psychotherapy is used primarily to reinforce a patient's ability to cope with stressors by giving clients the opportunity to express their feelings and thoughts about the issues. Clinicians help patients learn how to move forward and make decisions or changes that may be necessary to adapt, either to an acute change, such as the loss of a loved one or severe disappointment, or to a chronic situation, such as an ongoing illness.

Legislature Votes to Ban Single-Use Plastic Bags
SB 270 heads to the Governor
SACRAMENTO – Senate Bill 270 (Padilla-De León-Lara) has passed both houses of the California State Legislature. The final Senate vote was 22-15.
"In crafting this compromise, it was imperative to me that we achieve the goals of doing away with single-use plastic bags, help change consumer behavior, and importantly, support and expand California jobs," said Senate President pro Tempore-elect Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles). "SB 270 is a win-win for the environment and for California workers."
"We applaud Senator De León for crafting solutions that balance efforts to clean the environment with the daily needs of family survival," said Irma Muñoz, Executive Director of Mujeres de la Tierra. "We're thrilled to support SB 270 which protects the environment and supports California manufacturing jobs."
In 2013, Senator De León did not support bag ban legislation due to unaddressed policy concerns regarding the adverse impact on California workers. Last Fall, Senator De León worked with industry and environmentalists to craft a solution that worked for all in SB 270.
This legislation will implement a ban on single-use plastic grocery bags while promoting recycling and California manufacturing, and provides financial incentives to maintain and retrain California employees in affected industries.
"SB 270 creates a pathway toward a reusable bag culture in California. Forward thinking plastic bag manufacturers have the opportunity to grow jobs and manufacture environmentally sustainable products. Command Packaging has already begun diverting plastic from landfills and producing reusable bags right here in California. SB 270 enables this recycling and reusable bag culture to develop without penalizing businesses or consumers in the state," said Pete Grande, CEO of Command Packaging.
Senate Bill 270 will institute a plastic bag ban beginning in 2015 for grocery store carry-out bags and create a mandatory minimum ten cent fee for recycled paper, reusable plastic and compostable bags. The measure will also provide financial incentives for worker retraining and company retooling.
Specifically, Senate Bill 270 will:
- Ramp up the use of recycled content for reusable plastic bags to promote recycling and California manufacturing. In 2016, bags will be required to have 20 % recycled content and in 2020 be made of 40% recycled content.
- Support recycling of agriculture plastic film which is currently sent to landfills.
- Require large grocery store chains to take back used bags for continued recycling.
- Require third party certification of reusable plastic bags to ensure compliance with bag standards which support California manufacturing.
- Grandfathers existing local ordinances related to grocery bags.
SB 270 is supported by a large coalition of organizations including: California Coastal Coalition, California League of Conservation Voters, California Retailers Association, Californians Against Waste, Don't Waste LA, Environment California, Global Green USA, Latino Coalition for a California Bag Ban, Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy, Natural Resources Defense Council, Planning and Conservation League, Sierra Club California, and Silicon Valley Leadership Group.

Senator Kevin de León represents the 22nd District including all or parts of the City of Los Angeles, Alhambra, East Los Angeles, Florence-Graham, Maywood, San Marino, South Pasadena, Vernon, and Walnut Park. He is the Senate Appropriations Chair and is a member of the following committees: Energy, Utilities and Communications; Governmental Organization; Health and Public Safety.

The Yes on SB 270 Coalition hailed the California Assembly's historic approval today of Senate Bill (SB) 270, moving California one step closer to a landmark law banning single-use plastic carryout bags statewide. SB 270 (Padilla, de Leon, Lara) is supported by dozens of groups representing a spectrum of sectors, including environment, organized labor, business organizations, grocers, retailers, poverty rights organizations, Latino leaders, waste management firms, local governments and others.
"Today California is one step closer to making history by becoming the first state in the nation to ban single-use plastic carryout bags statewide. If this bill become law, California will continue its storied legacy as a global leader in bold, game-changing policies to help create a better planet for future generations," said Ronald Fong, President and CEO, California Grocers Association.
More than 100 cities and counties in California, including our largest metropolitan areas, have deliberated, studied, scrutinized, and, ultimately approved bans on single-use carryout plastic bags. Thousands of other jurisdictions worldwide have done the same. SB 270 will bring uniformity to California, while further reducing the use of plastic bags that litter streets, clog waterways, endanger animals and natural resources and cost taxpayers.
"Nearly one-third of Californians already live in communities that have banned these bags. It is time for our state to step up and usher in a new era of reusable bags as the norm rather than the exception.," said Marce Gutiérrez and Héctor Huezo, co-chairs of the Latino Coalition for a California Bag Ban. "SB 270 will foster innovation, create homegrown jobs, safeguard businesses and protect California's treasured natural resources. We are grateful to Sens. Padilla, de Leon and Lara for listening to the concerns of Californians and for bravely standing up for economic justice and environmental common sense."
Said Mark Murray, Executive Director, Californians Against Waste "SB 270 is a tried-and-true policy which brings a broad base of support. By eliminating single-use plastic carryout grocery bags, consumer behavior shifts as shoppers make a habit of using reusable bags."
Should consumers forget their reusable bags or need an extra bag at checkout, recycled paper bags are available for a 10-cent charge. Amendments to SB 270 ensure that those on food assistance programs are not subject to the 10-cent charge and to ensure that monies generated from the 10-cent charge stay local to be used for cost recovery and consumer education on reusable bag use.
August 21, 2014
Dear Member of the State Assembly:
We write once more to express our unconditional support for SB 270 to ban statewide polluting
single-‐use plastic bags. We urge your vote in favor of this important bill, in the Appropriations
Committee and on the Assembly floor. Its passage would significantly curtail a costly scourge in our
neighborhoods, parks, roads, rivers, and ocean that also burdens our children and future generations:
pollution from single-‐use plastic bags, which is preventable.
Passing SB 270 would build on similar policies in more than 100 municipalities throughout California
that have dramatically reduced their litter and waste problems from plastic bags. Still, more than 10
billion single-‐use bags get discarded each year throughout California. Approving SB 270 will also hasten
our shift to reusable bags and strengthen the growing industry and workforce in making reusable bags
here in California. As low- to moderate to low income taxpayers, we pay many times for single
use plastic bags, especially in efforts to control and clean up bags in the waste stream.
As an example, the Los Angeles County Public Works estimates that most consumers pay approximately $20
per year at the counter in grocery stores in hidden costs to subsidize plastic bags. The L.A. County Flood
Control District spends more than $18 million annually for overall litter prevention and cleanup efforts.
The Natural Resources Defense Council found in 2013 that local governments in California spend nearly
$500 million to catch and collect plastic bags and other trash entering our arroyos, rivers, lakes, and
ocean. Because plastic bags make up as much as 25 percent of the litter stream by weight, they are
disproportionately responsible for these costs.
Once in our oceans, plastic bags break down into smaller pieces without fully biodegrading, and they
absorb other pollutants such as PCBs and PAHs. Ingested by marine animals and fish, they enter
our food chain. Single-‐use plastic bags are a deviation from the Latino community's longstanding
tradition of reusable shopping bags. The passage of SB 270 will also be a major step towards reversing
throwaway consumption, widely promoted by plastics and packaging fabricators and their lobbyists.
Since 2007, the state has failed badly in efforts to recycle plastic bags, with less than 3 percent getting
collected. That same year, a landmark study also appeared indicating that dumping represents a particular
burden on Latino communities in our state, with Latinos facing heightened exposure to waste and
contaminants. We strongly urge lawmakers to honor our Latino community's longstanding
tradition of conservation and our interest in a sustainable economy and ending pollution by
voting to approve SB270.
SB270 takes a poorly designed and polluting bag out of the marketplace and our watersheds. It gives the
people of California the choice to pay for a bag or not. Currently, as consumers and taxpayers, we pay
regardless of our usage. Single-use bags are not free, and continuing to saddle taxpayers
with the costly burdens associated with them is fiscally irresponsible. SB270 also creates a
uniform statewide policy on the issue, instead of sustaining a legal patchwork.
California is a national leader in green jobs. There are at least 15 reusable bag companies based in our
state that distribute on a national or global scale. Many other countries have already banned single-‐use
bags, from Italy to Rwanda to Bangladesh, so California is playing catch-up in that regard. But
California businesses are well poised to benefit from a statewide ban on single-‐use plastic bags and, as
more states and nations follow the lead of our state, to create jobs here at an accelerated rate.
SB270 offers California Democrats, in particular, the opportunity to make good on our party's resolution
supporting a statewide ban. We urge you to vote yes to approve SB 270 in the Appropriations
Committee and on the Assembly floor.

Quartz hires Xana Antunes, former editor of New York Post
With an eye on growth in 2015, Quartz has hired a veteran business journalist, Xana Antunes, as editor of new initiatives, a role in which she will lead recruitment efforts and focus on expanding the website's video offerings.
"She will be part of our New York editing lineup and work closely with Quartz's reporters around the world on specific stories, adding to our top-tier editing team in anticipation of further growth in reporting staff," Quartz editor in chief Kevin Delaney announced in an internal memo Sunday night. "Xana will play a lead role in recruiting talented journalists as we prepare to significantly expand our staff over the next year, in video and other areas."
Story Continued Below
Antunes joins the Atlantic Media-owned digital finance publication's 40-person newsroom as it celebrates revenue growth that Quartz claims to be up 160 percent year over year, with more than 85 blue chip advertisers since the site's September 2013 launch and a record 10.9 million unique visitors, per internal metrics, during the month of October, according to a spokesperson.
Most recently, Antunes spent two years as the executive editor and vice president of CNBC Digital, where she reportedly scaled traffic and video views before resigning in September. Prior to that, Antunes was the editor of Crain's New York Business, which ousted her in 2012, and the executive editor of Fortune and its companion website at the time, CNNMoney.com.
But her name (pronounced "Sh-anna," as Delaney noted) is no doubt most familiar to a certain breed of New York media insider from her days at the New York Post, which she edited from 1999 until News Corp. replaced her with trusted Rupert Murdoch lieutenant and Australian tabloid star Col Allan, who remains at the helm to this day.
(Bonus tidbit: The New York Times' April 2001 story about the Antunes-Allan hand-off was written by none other than the disgraced journalism fabulist Jayson Blair.)
Antunes starts at Quartz on Monday.

The opposition leader stated that MP Tiran Alles was given 5 additional minutes of the time allocated to the opposition by MP A. H. M. Ashwar who was chairing proceedings.
Speaking further the opposition leader also stated that MP Tiran Alles made several statements that included his name and that while he had the opportunity to reply under standing orders, he was disturbed by the MP chairing proceedings.
Speaker Chamal Rajapakse stated that he will look into the matter and an appropriate decision will be made.

Say ''computer lingo'' to most people, and they'll rattle off their rudimentary knowledge of the meaning of byte, hacker and cybersex gritch (the last marries digiporn to the portmanteau of grouch and glitch, producing a phrase meaning ''hacker's complaint about the encryption of dirty pictures'').
In the same way, say ''management jargon'' to an old-fashioned C.E.O. in Buggywhip Industries, and that executive will slip into an archaic patois of dotted-line responsibility or the oxymoronic structured competition, taking you down a critical path overgrown with zero-based weeds.
But that's yesterday's talk. As my with-it colleague Maureen Dowd likes to sigh, ''It's so over.'' The new jeaniuses working for I.P.O. options at the profit-free start-ups -- intensely laid-back execugeeks who never trust anybody under $30 million -- have a language all their own.
I have a lexicographic spy in their midst. He is Edward Bleier of Warner Bros. (in a lifelong battle against The New York Times's insistence on spelling out the Brothers), who has just been elected to the board of RealNetworks, one of the many modern companies whose names were created in a tightly packed elevator (and which The Times rightly resists). Ed was my Syracuse University classmate, thus no spring chicken, but he refuses to let the new lingo close down his communicativeness. At his first board meeting, he jotted down some examples of the new code of ''E-lingo,'' with his guesses at their meanings.
Does this company have management bandwidth? In computerese, nothing can beat the bandwidth, which used to mean ''a range of radio frequencies'' and came to mean ''the data-transfer rate of a communications system,'' among other things. However, management bandwidth means ''the strength and depth of senior executives.'' It is what football coaches call a deep bench, rested and talented reserves who impatiently watch the marching bandwidth at halftime.Continue reading the main story
Nobody says now anymore; it's all in real time. What is the full stop? It's a deadline for a meeting or a phone call to end.
What do you demand when you need measurements, standards for evaluation? Metrix. Do not confuse this with a matrix, the grid on which data is shoveled for three-dimensional planning. (Back when I was a writer, I thought a matrix was a mixture of ''matronly dominatrix,'' but now I am a content provider and know better.)
Don't run when you hear run rates; they are the vector (never say ''direction'') and speed of the metrix. But stop when you come to the inflection point, which is what used to be known as a crossroads, as in the sage advice of the Old Managers, ''When you come to a crossroads, take it.''
If you make the right decision, you will vector right to a power point. This is ''activity that provides added leverage to improve another aspect of the service or business.'' I think this used to be called ''synergy,'' but don't use that word because it's over. (History, as in ''He's history,'' is also over. Over is not yet over, but will soon be.)
Nor should you seek the old consensus, which used to be the Holy Grail of the other-directed; instead, seek mind share. Don't worry about being hardcore; it used to apply to porn, but now it is a killer-app adjective meaning ''intense, dedicated, tough-minded.''
Environmentalists will be dismayed to learn that their favorite word, ecosystem, has been spirited away by the E-speakers. According to Bleier's hurried notes (written by ergonomic pencil on paper, not even scratched on a screen with a stylish stylus), an ecosystem is ''a matrix of suppliers, sites and users that relate to an Internet enterprise.''
The trick is to step back and look at this data longitudinally. As Ed tentatively explains it (after all, it was his first meeting), this means ''examining an issue from side to side, as opposed to top to bottom.'' (Some newly noir Raymond Chandler will arise to write, ''He looked at her latitudinally.'')
And what if some Real Networks executive reports to the board, ''This place is a beehive''? In olden times, that would have meant ''active,'' as in ''busy as a bee.'' Now, however, if it's beehive, it's ''not working because elements are swarming about aimlessly.''
The word improvement has itself been improved; it is now next generation. Transfer? Out. Use port to. And when information has been not merely transcoded -- that is, put into another format -- but ported to a wholly different source, as from a music CD onto a computer hard drive, it has been ripped. (Shakespeare liked ''untimely ripped.'')
Though most of us are still working out Y2K, the year 2000 problem, the question that the boys in the bandwidth are asking is, ''Is the new secretary 24/7?'' This is no lascivious reference to anybody's bust-and-waist metrix. It has to do with the employee's willingness to be on cell call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
You can always tell if the Internet company management has next-generation bandwidth by its ability to achieve stickiness. This is a measurement of how long an individual Internet user -- you, for example -- stays on the particular Web site without hypertexting off to some other seductive site like a faithless wanton. Holding you as the user fast to the site -- making you hardcore -- is what used to be called the name of the game. Are you ready? In the new Internet boardrooms, this Web-site loyalty is referred to reverently as eyeball hang time.Continue reading the main story
