SACRAMENTO, Calif. /California Newswire/ — Today, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. delivered the 2013 State of the State Address. Below is the text as prepared for delivery:
Edmund G. Brown Jr.
State of the State Address
Remarks as Prepared
January 24, 2013
The message this year is clear: California has once again confounded our critics. We have wrought in just two years a solid and enduring budget. And, by God, we will persevere and keep it that way for years to come.
Against those who take pleasure, singing of our demise, California did the impossible.
You, the California legislature, did it. You cast difficult votes to cut billions from the state budget. You curbed prison spending through an historic realignment and you reformed and reduced the state's long term pension liabilities.
Then, the citizens of California, using their inherent political power under the Constitution, finished the task. They embraced the new taxes of Proposition 30 by a healthy margin of 55% to 44%.
Members of the legislature, I salute you for your courage, for wholeheartedly throwing yourself into the cause.
I salute the unions—their members and their leaders. You showed what ordinary people can do when they are united and organized.
I salute those leaders of California business and the individual citizens who proudly stood with us.
I salute the teachers and the students, the parents and the college presidents, the whole school community. As the great jurist, Oliver Wendell Holmes, once said when describing what stirs people to action: "Feeling begets feeling and great feeling begets great feeling." You were alarmed, you stirred yourselves to action and victory was the outcome.
That was 2012 and what a year!
In fact, both 2011 and 2012 were remarkable.
You did great things: Your 1/3 renewable energy mandate; the reform of workers compensation; the reorganization of state government; protecting our forests and strengthening our timber industry; reforming our welfare system; and launching the nation's first high speed rail system.
But, of course, governing never ends. We have promises to keep. And the most important is the one we made to the voters if Proposition 30 passed: that we would guard jealously the money temporarily made available.
This means living within our means and not spending what we don't have. Fiscal discipline is not the enemy of our good intentions but the basis for realizing them. It is cruel to lead people on by expanding good programs, only to cut them back when the funding disappears. That is not progress; it is not even progressive. It is illusion. That stop and go, boom and bust, serves no one. We are not going back there.
The budget is balanced but great risks and uncertainties lie ahead. The federal government, the courts or changes in the economy all could cost us billions and drive a hole in the budget. The ultimate costs of expanding our health care system under the Affordable Care Act are unknown. Ignoring such known unknowns would be folly, just as it would be to not pay down our wall of debt. That is how we plunged into a decade of deficits.
Recall the story of Genesis and Pharaoh's dream of seven cows, fatfleshed and well favored, which came out of the river, followed by seven other cows leanfleshed and ill favored. Then the lean cows ate up the fat cows. The Pharaoh could not interpret his dream until Joseph explained to him that the seven fat cows were seven years of great plenty and the seven lean cows were seven years of famine that would immediately follow. The Pharaoh took the advice of Joseph and stored up great quantities of grain during the years of plenty. When famine came, Egypt was ready.
The people have given us seven years of extra taxes. Let us follow the wisdom of Joseph, pay down our debts and store up reserves against the leaner times that will surely come.
In the midst of the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt said: "There is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected. This generation has a rendezvous with destiny."
We –right here in California– have such a rendezvous with destiny. All around us we see doubt and skepticism about our future and that of America's. But what we have accomplished together these last two years, indeed, the whole history of California, belies such pessimism.
Remember how California began.
In 1769, under King Charles III, orders were issued to Jose de Galvez, the Visitor General of Baja California, to: "Occupy and fortify San Diego and Monterey for God and the King of Spain.´
Gaspar Portola and a small band of brave men made their way slowly north, along an uncharted path. Eventually, they reached Monterey but they could not recognize the Bay in the dense fog. With their supplies failing, they marched back to San Diego, forced to eat the flesh of emaciated pack mules just to stay alive. Undaunted, Portola sent for provisions from Baja California and promptly organized a second expedition. He retraced his steps northward, along what was to become El Camino Real, the Kings Highway. This time, Father Serra joined the expedition by sea. The rest is history, a spectacular history of bold pioneers meeting every failure with even greater success.
The founding of the Missions, secularized and sold off in little more than 50 years, the displacement and devastation of the native people, the discovery of Gold, the coming of the Forty-Niners and adventurers from every continent, first by the thousands and then by the hundreds of thousands. Then during the Civil War under President Lincoln came the Transcontinental Railroad and Land Grant Colleges, followed by the founding of the University of California. And oil production, movies, an aircraft industry, the longest suspension bridge in the world, aerospace, the first freeways, grand water projects, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Venture Capital, Silicon Valley, Hewlett Packard, Apple, Qualcomm, Google and countless others, existing and still just imagined.
What is this but the most diverse, creative and longest standing mass migration in the history of the world. That is California. And we are her sons and daughters.
This special destiny never ends. It slows. It falters. It goes off track in ignorance and prejudice but soon resumes again—more vibrant and more stunning in its boldness.
The rest of the country looks to California. Not for what is conventional, but for what is necessary—necessary to keep faith with our courageous forebears.
What we have done together and what we must do in the coming years is big, but it pales in comparison to the indomitable courage of those who discovered and each decade thereafter built a more abundant California.
As Legislators, It is your duty and privilege to pass laws. But what we need to do for our future will require more than producing hundreds of new laws each year. Montaigne, the great French writer of the 16th Century, in his Essay on Experience, wisely wrote: "There is little relation between our actions, which are in perpetual mutation, and fixed and immutable laws. The most desirable laws are those that are the rarest, simplest, and most general; and I even think that it would be better to have none at all than to have them in such numbers as we have."
Constantly expanding the coercive power of government by adding each year so many minute prescriptions to our already detailed and turgid legal system overshadows other aspects of public service. Individual creativity and direct leadership must also play a part. We do this, not by commanding thou shalt or thou shalt not through a new law but by tapping into the persuasive power that can inspire and organize people. Lay the Ten Commandments next to the California Education code and you will see how far we have diverged in approach and in content from that which forms the basis of our legal system.
In the right order of things, education—the early fashioning of character and the formation of conscience—comes before legislation. Nothing is more determinative of our future than how we teach our children. If we fail at this, we will sow growing social chaos and inequality that no law can rectify.
In California's public schools, there are six million students, 300,000 teachers—all subject to tens of thousands of laws and regulations. In addition to the teacher in the classroom, we have a principal in every school, a superintendent and governing board for each school district. Then we have the State Superintendent and the State Board of Education, which makes rules and approves endless waivers—often of laws which you just passed. Then there is the Congress which passes laws like "No Child Left Behind," and finally the Federal Department of Education, whose rules, audits and fines reach into every classroom in America, where sixty million children study, not six million.
Add to this the fact that three million California school age children speak a language at home other than English and more than two million children live in poverty. And we have a funding system that is overly complex, bureaucratically driven and deeply inequitable. That is the state of affairs today.
The laws that are in fashion demand tightly constrained curricula and reams of accountability data. All the better if it requires quiz-bits of information, regurgitated at regular intervals and stored in vast computers. Performance metrics, of course, are invoked like talismans. Distant authorities crack the whip, demanding quantitative measures and a stark, single number to encapsulate the precise achievement level of every child.
We seem to think that education is a thing—like a vaccine—that can be designed from afar and simply injected into our children. But as the Irish poet, William Butler Yeats said, "Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire."
This year, as you consider new education laws, I ask you to consider the principle of Subsidiarity. Subsidiarity is the idea that a central authority should only perform those tasks which cannot be performed at a more immediate or local level. In other words, higher or more remote levels of government, like the state, should render assistance to local school districts, but always respect their primary jurisdiction and the dignity and freedom of teachers and students.
Subsidiarity is offended when distant authorities prescribe in minute detail what is taught, how it is taught and how it is to be measured. I would prefer to trust our teachers who are in the classroom each day, doing the real work – lighting fires in young minds.
My 2013 Budget Summary lays out the case for cutting categorical programs and putting maximum authority and discretion back at the local level—with school boards. I am asking you to approve a brand new Local Control Funding Formula which would distribute supplemental funds — over an extended period of time — to school districts based on the real world problems they face. This formula recognizes the fact that a child in a family making $20,000 a year or speaking a language different from English or living in a foster home requires more help. Equal treatment for children in unequal situations is not justice.
With respect to higher education, cost pressures are relentless and many students cannot get the classes they need. A half million fewer students this year enrolled in the community colleges than in 2008. Graduation in four years is the exception and transition from one segment to the other is difficult. The University of California, the Cal State system and the community colleges are all working on this. The key here is thoughtful change, working with the faculty and the college presidents. But tuition increases are not the answer. I will not let the students become the default financiers of our colleges and universities.
Health Care
California was the first in the nation to pass laws to implement President Obama's historic Affordable Care Act. Our health benefit exchange, called Covered California, will begin next year providing insurance to nearly one million Californians. Over the rest of this decade, California will steadily reduce the number of the uninsured.
Today I am calling for a special session to deal with those issues that must be decided quickly if California is to get the Affordable Care Act started by next January. The broader expansion of Medi-Cal that the Act calls for is incredibly complex and will take more time. Working out the right relationship with the counties will test our ingenuity and will not be achieved overnight. Given the costs involved, great prudence should guide every step of the way.
California lost 1.3 million jobs in the great Recession but we are coming back at a faster pace than the national average. The new Office of Business and Economic Development — GoBiz —directly assisted more than 5,000 companies this past year.
One of those companies was Samsung Semiconductor Inc. headquartered in Korea. Working with the City of San Jose and Santa Clara County, GoBiz persuaded Samsung to locate their only research and development facility in the world here in California. The new facility in San Jose will place at least 2,500 people in high skill, high wage jobs. We also leveled the field on internet sales taxes, paving the way for over 1,000 new jobs at new Amazon distribution centers in Patterson and San Bernardino and now Tracy.
This year, we should change both the Enterprise Zone Program and the Jobs Hiring Credit. They aren't working. We also need to rethink and streamline our regulatory procedures, particularly the California Environmental Quality Act. Our approach needs to be based more on consistent standards that provide greater certainty and cut needless delays.
California's exports are booming and our place in the world economy has never been stronger. Our ties with The People's Republic of China in particular are deep—from the Chinese immigrants crossing the Pacific in 1848 to hosting China's next President in Los Angeles last February. This year we will take another step to strengthen the ties between the world's second and ninth largest economies. In April, I will lead a trade and investment mission to China with help from the Bay Area Council and officially open California's new trade and investment office in Shanghai.
Central to the life of our state is water and one sixth of that water flows through the San Joaquin Delta.
Silicon Valley, the Livermore Valley, farmers on the East side of the San Joaquin Valley between Fresno and Kern County and farmers on the West side between Tracy and Los Banos, urban Southern California and Northern Contra Costa, all are critically dependent on the Delta for Water.
If because of an earthquake, a hundred year storm or sea level rise, the Delta fails, the disaster would be comparable to Hurricane Katrina or Superstorm Sandy: losses of at least $100 billion and 40,000 jobs. I am going to do whatever I can to make sure that does not happen. My proposed plan is two tunnels 30 miles long and 40 feet wide, designed to improve the ecology of the Delta, with almost 100 square miles of habitat restoration. Yes, that is big but so is the problem.
The London Olympics lasted a short while and cost $14 billion, about the same cost as this project. But this project will serve California for hundreds of years.
Climate Change
When we think about California's future, no long term liability presents as great a danger to our wellbeing as the buildup of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
According to the latest report from the World Bank, carbon dioxide emissions are the highest in 15 million years. At today's emissions rate, the planet could warm by more than 7 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century, an event unknown in human experience. California is extremely vulnerable because of our Mediterranean climate, long coastline and reliance on snowpack for so much of our water supply.
Tipping points can be reached before we even know we have passed them. This is a different kind of challenge than we ever faced. It requires acting now even though the worst consequences are perhaps decades in the future.
Again California is leading the way. We are reducing emissions as required by AB 32 and we will meet our goal of getting carbon emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.
Key to our efforts is reducing electricity consumption through efficiency standards for buildings and appliances. Over the last three decades, these pioneering efforts have saved Californians $65 billion dollars. And we are not through yet.
We are also meeting our renewable energy goals: more than 20% renewable energy this year. By 2020, we will get at least a third of our electricity from the sun and the wind and other renewable sources—and probably more.
Transportation and High Speed Rail
In the years following World War II, California embarked on a vast program to build highway, bridges and roads.
Today, California's highways are asked to accommodate more vehicle traffic than any other state in the nation. Most were constructed before we knew about climate change and the lethal effects of dirty air. We now expect more.
I have directed our Transportation Agency to review thoroughly our current priorities and explore long-term funding options.
Last year, you authorized another big project: High Speed Rail. Yes, it is bold but so is everything else about California.
Electrified trains are part of the future. China already has 5000 miles of high speed rail and intends to double that. Spain has 1600 miles and is building more. More than a dozen other countries have their own successful high speed rail systems. Even Morocco is building one.
The first phase will get us from Madera to Bakersfield. Then we will take it through the Tehachapi Mountains to Palmdale, constructing 30 miles of tunnels and bridges. The first rail line through those mountains was built in 1874 and its top speed over the crest is still 24 miles an hour. Then we will build another 33 miles of tunnels and bridges before we get the train to its destination at Union Station in the heart of Los Angeles.
It has taken great perseverance to get us this far. I signed the original high speed rail Authority in 1982—over 30 years ago. In 2013, we will finally break ground and start construction.
This is my 11th year in the job and I have never been more excited. Two years ago, they were writing our obituary. Well it didn't happen. California is back, its budget is balanced, and we are on the move. Let's go out and get it done.

It's no secret that gold is a hot commodity these days. With the economy in such turmoil, many people are looking for ways to protect their retirement savings. One of the best ways to do this is by converting your 401k to physical gold through a Gold IRA.But how exactly do you go about doing this? Keep reading, and we'll walk you through the process step by step.
Gold is a stable investment that can protect your retirement savings from inflation and market volatility. Gold investments and other precious metals are also portable and easy to store, making them an ideal asset to protect your wealth and retirement savings. Investing in Gold IRAs through a 401k helps with taxation because it allows investors to withhold some funds rather than receive hefty income penalties when they pay taxes.
Investing in a Precious Metals or Gold IRA with qualified Gold IRA companies provides liquidity for investors because it has a lower price point yet still carries the same diversification value. Gold is a proven safe haven asset that can help preserve wealth during times of uncertainty, providing investors with peace of mind knowing their investments are protected.

They will see deductions on contributions and potentially lower capital gains taxes when selling assets later down the line when you pay taxes. Investing your retirement account in a Precious Metals or Gold IRA can provide returns similar to other investments, such as stocks and real estate. For example, between 2000 and 2013, the S&P 500 stock index returned an average of 8% per year, while REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) averaged around 10%.
Investors have seen it rise from about $300 per ounce in 2003 to over $1,300 per ounce today. According to , gold and precious metals have historically had an average annual return of 5% since 1970 when adjusted for inflation. This level is lower than the returns on stocks (around 9%) or bonds (about 6%).
This guarantee is valid if their price was confirmed online or over the phone with customer service representatives. American Hartford Gold is a Gold IRA company that will help you determine the best type of investment for your situation. You can choose a Precious Metals IRA or a Gold IRA Rollover.
Not known Factual Statements About 8 Best Gold Ira Companies Of 2023
Once you have decided on the type of investment you would like to make, American Hartford Gold will guide you through the process step by step until it is completed successfully with no stress or hassle on your part! Deciding whether or not to invest in a Gold or Precious Metals IRA can be a tough decision.
However, some buyers of physical precious metals may desire to own them for the inherent benefits they cannot find with paper investments alone. Therefore, a gold IRA rollover can provide this opportunity. When investing in gold with a 401 k rollover, you can purchase physical coins, bars, or stock in gold companies.
It is important to note that in order to avoid being duped when purchasing minted coins and other collectibles, it is necessary to obtain IRS permission first. The risks of converting a 401 k to physical gold instead of mutual funds or a Roth IRA include the following:Possible losses due to fluctuating gold prices, Potential underperformance compared to other investments, such as stocks and bonds, Fees associated with the purchase, storage, and insurance of the gold investment, Taxes on rollover if you convert your 401 k into a self-directed IRACapital gains taxes if you sell the gold later on, Difficulty finding buyers if you need to cash in your investment quickly, Potential exorbitant fees charged by some dealers There are several reputable Gold IRA companies that you can trust.
A Biased View of 8 Best Gold Ira Companies In 2023 [Complete Guide]
Rolling over a 401(k) plan into a traditional or Roth IRA is a fairly common practice. You'll often do this when you've left your former employer and want to keep your retirement savings all in one place. But you may also be looking to diversify your retirement savings with assets that aren't as closely tied to the economy.
Gold IRA plans are typically self-directed IRAs, which allow more diverse investments than a traditional IRA. One important thing to note: you can't simply collect anything made of those four materials. The IRS has a list of specific fineness requirements all precious metals must satisfy before you can have them in your gold IRA.
Often, the custodian will have a list of brokers it's worked with that can serve as a starting place for your research. When you've found a custodian and a broker you're satisfied with, you can open your account and purchase your precious metals. Once it's time for you to retire, you have the option either to collect the metals or liquidate them into cash.
Some Known Details About How To Move Your 401k To A Gold Ira
Gold is a precious metal with an intrinsic value. Gold is seen by many as a hedge against the volatility of the stock market and other investments. Some also invest in gold because they believe a day may come where paper money and other investments lose their value because of some natural disaster or geopolitical catastrophe, leaving gold as one of the remaining valuable investments.
Once you've opened your gold IRA, you can contact the company managing your 401(k) account to begin the rollover process. First you'll have to choose between a direct and indirect rollover. In an indirect rollover, you withdraw the funds from one account and then deposit them in another. With a direct IRA rollover, the funds move directly from one account to another.
Once you've met the requirements, the company will send a check with your funds to either you or your gold IRA custodian. At that point, you'll have completed your 401(k) to gold IRA rollover. Are you looking to diversify your retirement savings? Do you want a retirement option that doesn't mirror the volatility of paper currency or the stock market? If either is the case, you should consider maneuvering a 401(k) to gold IRA rollover.
Rumored Buzz on 8 Best Gold Ira Companies In 2023 [Complete Guide]
So if your securities investments are performing poorly, your gold investments are probably on the rise, and vice versa. Many investors use gold investments to hedge against other investments. It's uncommon for investors to have a portfolio of entirely gold, or any one asset class for that matter. Gold sellers will often market gold IRAs by contrasting them with the volatility and risk of the stock market.
If you're looking for a new destination for the funds in your 401(k) and you want something that doesn't closely follow the stock market or the economy, then a 401(k) to gold IRA rollover could be a good option. That said, it's always important to diversify your investments. Make sure your retirement strategy includes several different asset classes.
Can you roll over your 401(k) to gold? What's the best way to avoid penalties? Read on to learn everything you need to know. Are you tired of playing stock market rollercoaster with your 401(k)? If you're looking for a more stable investment for retirement, you may be interested in converting some funds to a gold IRA.

Part of the Family Matters series
Some financial problems have obvious solutions.
For example, colleges aren't graduating enough engineers. But as more students become wary of fat loans and slim job prospects, many may shift majors. Change is possible.
But that's not the case with this problem: The number of elderly Americans in need of expensive care is about to surge, and there's no stopping the calendar.
"It's scary," said Geneva Hunter, a 66-year-old baby boomer whose 89-year-old, dementia-stricken mother lives with her in Maryland. "I'm concerned about the future because the cost of everything (related to elder care) is outrageous."
Roughly 78 million baby boomers are moving into their retirement years now. At first, they will be the "young" old. Legions of retired boomers soon will be walking around the mall, volunteering with community groups and taking grandchildren on trips.
At first, that can be good for the economy. But this immense generation, born between 1946 and 1964, will keep aging. Based on current medical outcomes, most of the people who live beyond age 85 will end up with dementia or other disabilities that require costly care.
Here's how fast the numbers will ratchet up: In 1990, only about 3 million Americans were over the age of 85. Today, the figure is 6 million. By 2050, the United States will be home to about 19 million people older than 85, according to U.S. Census projections.
Perhaps a cure for Alzheimer's disease will be found. But if not, the number of people with the memory-wasting disease is expected to triple to 15 million by 2050. The cost of dementia care is projected to shoot from $200 billion to $1 trillion in today's dollars.
For individuals, families, local government officials and federal taxpayers, this demographic shift will drain dollars and attention, and force extremely difficult decisions about living arrangements, as well as end-of-life care.
For many people, it will mean taking in elderly relatives. For eight weeks, NPR's Morning Edition has been airing a series, Family Matters, to examine the challenges facing households where more than one generation of adults live together.
More than 50 million Americans reside in multigenerational homes. And in many of these households, middle-aged "children" are caring for elderly parents, as well as providing shelter for their own grown children. In many cases, family members are making big financial sacrifices to help each other.
But the squeeze may get even tighter for future households because boomers generally had fewer children, and more divorces, compared with the World War II generation. A Pew Research Center analysis of census data found that the boomer generation "offers its elderly parents about 50 percent more grown children with whom they can share a household."
Three decades from now, a much smaller base of "Gen X" children will be trying to help care for more elderly loved ones, including biological parents as well as stepparents.
The ability of tomorrow's taxpayers to boost benefits for the elderly will be limited. That's because Americans already are saddled with so much public debt. Back in 1970, when baby boomers were young, the national debt was roughly 28 percent of gross domestic product. Now it's about 70 percent.
Despite that massive increase in borrowing, the government is running short of funds for existing programs. Medicare's trustees recently said the program that provides medical care to the elderly will remain solvent only until 2024. The Social Security system already is paying out more than it is taking in.
Providing aging Americans with long-term care "is a bona fide need and growing concern," said David Walker, a former U.S. comptroller general and an expert on federal spending. "But we have to recognize that the U.S. government has overpromised in the area of health care. We can't make more entitlement promises."
Given these demographic and fiscal realities, what options are there?
Experts say the private sector will have to do more. Just as many companies have adapted to having mothers in the workplace — offering longer maternity leave, day care or more flexible hours — they will need to help middle-aged workers care for elderly relatives. Adult day care options and more flexible hours may become more common.
And more homebuilders will have to adapt to the surge in demand for multigenerational housing. Few builders focused on that niche because throughout the 20th century, that type of household was shrinking. In 1900, nearly six out of 10 people over age 65 lived with someone from a younger generation. By the 1980s, only 17 percent did.
But a Pew Research Center analysis of census data shows that today, the number is rising again, with about 20 percent of older people living with another generation.
Major builders, such as KB Home, Toll Brothers and Lennar Corp., are responding by designing homes with two master bedrooms and separate entrances.
But individual solutions, such as doubling up to split living costs, may fall far short of the trillions of dollars that would be needed to hire all of the care needed to cope with all of the long-lived elderly.
Walker suggests individuals should make major changes in their spending habits today to help themselves tomorrow. "Saving is going to be key," the former comptroller said.
"Government has grown too big, promised too much and waited too long to restructure," he said. "It is going to spend less over time ... which means that individuals will have to plan, save and invest for the future."
Geneva Hunter agrees. Having seen how expensive it is to hire help to watch over her mother, especially at night, Hunter said she knows she has to hang on to her job, running secretarial operations at a law firm. "I have to keep working and saving and investing, and then hope for the best," she said.

We all know how important it is to have a vehicle covered by insurance, but if you're using a minibus to transport people, standard coverage may not be adequate in the event of an at-fault collision.
This is mostly a matter of scale. If eight or ten different people are all injured in a collision, a standard policy probably won't be able to cover the medical payments for all of them, leaving you to make up the difference. The larger policy cap of minibus insurance makes it much easier to handle a high number of claims.
There are three major forms of minibus insurance:
As the owner of a minibus, you want to be sure that everyone inside of it is covered. The amount of insurance you need can vary depending upon how many people use the minibus as well as the purpose of its usage. Speak to a Blaeser Insurance Agency, LLC agent about how you plan to use the vehicle before asking for a quote. This will help you get the most affordable coverage while making sure everyone in the vehicle is adequately covered.

George Stephens developed a plan for a streetcar suburb on his father-in-law's (John Spring Myers) farm in 1905. The neighborhood was designed by the Harvard-trained landscape architect, John Nolen, and work was underway by 1911.
Myers Park is distinguished for its winding tree-lined streets, large historic homes and architectural variety. Due to its landscaped beauty, it is one of the most-visited parts of Charlotte.
For those short on time, a simple drive through the neighborhood is worthwhile in order to view the large, historic mansions along the main streets.

Oh, I'm such a wild girl!
I've been a pretty boring chica lately. Sometimes, I think my excitement for the day is driving 7 miles over the speed limit (with two hands on the steering wheel...)
Yesterday, I engaged my lead foot and did something crazy in the kitchen.
I switched nectarines for the peach.
I know!! C R A Z Y.
I'm sure this'll be on the next DVD of Fruit Gone Wild.
I replaced the peaches with absolutely delicious mango flavored nectarines from Ken's Top Notch Produce at the farmer's market. This is breeding done right.
And why did I pick the Peach Buckle?
I don't want to go all TMI on you, but my gums are pathetic. For some reason, one speck of plaque on my teeth cause much, much misery. I need to get my teeth cleaned four times a year. I see my hygienist more than my relatives. I'm supposed to floss twice a day, Sonicare after every meal, use a prescription toothpaste ($17 a tube!), Waterpik, Sulcabrush and not snack too much (that one I can't handle). I'm probably the only one in the library with an electric toothbrush on my desk (behind my monitor - not next to the reference books, thank you very much). But last month I had more dental issues and mega sensitivity on one of my molars. My dentist said they need to cover the exposed nerves with a "buckle."
And what did I think when I hear "buckle"? Novocaine? No...Fruit Buckle!!
However, I later learned that my dentist was probably talking about the buccal surface of the tooth...oh well, I'm calling this My Buckle for My Buccal!
Got bad gums or need dental work?
Make this buckle! (and then brush and floss your teeth)

Dental Implant Surgery
Do not disturb the wound. Avoid rinsing, spitting, or touching the wound on the day of surgery. There will be a metal healing abutment protruding through the gingival (gum) tissue.
Some bleeding or redness in the saliva is normal for 24 hours. Excessive bleeding (your mouth fills rapidly with blood) can be controlled by biting on a gauze pad placed directly on the bleeding wound for 30 minutes. If bleeding continues profusely, please call for further instructions.
Swelling is a normal occurrence after surgery. To minimize swelling apply an ice bag, or a plastic bag or towel filled with ice, on the cheek in the area of surgery. Apply the ice continuously, as much as possible, for the first 36 hours.
Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid hot liquids or food. Soft food and liquids should be eaten on the day of surgery. Return to a normal diet as soon as possible unless otherwise directed.
You should begin taking pain medication as soon as you feel the local anesthetic wearing off. For moderate pain, one or two tablets of Tylenol or Extra Strength Tylenol may be taken every 3-4 hours. Ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) may be taken instead of Tylenol. Ibuprofen bought over the counter comes in 200 mg tablets: 2-3 tablets may be taken four times daily, not to exceed 3200mg daily for an adult. Consult our practice for individuals under 18. Do not take the two medications at the same time.
For severe pain, the prescribed medication should be taken as directed. Do not take any of the above medication if you are allergic to them, or have been instructed by your doctor not to take it. Do not drive an automobile or work around machinery. Avoid alcoholic beverages. Pain or discomfort following surgery should subside more and more every day. If pain persists, it may require attention and you should call the office.
Be sure to take the prescribed antibiotics as directed to help prevent infection.
Oral Hygiene
Good oral hygiene is essential to good healing. The night of surgery, use the prescribed Peridex Oral Rinse before bed. The day after surgery, the Peridex should be used twice daily; after breakfast and before bed. Be sure to rinse for at least 30 seconds then spit it out. Warm salt water rinses (one teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water) should be used at least 4-5 times a day as well, especially after meals. Brush your teeth and the healing abutments. Be gentle initially while brushing the surgical areas.
Keep physical activities to a minimum immediately following surgery. If you exercise, throbbing or bleeding may occur. If this occurs, you should discontinue exercising. Keep in mind that you are probably not taking in normal nourishment. This may weaken you and further limit your ability to exercise.
Wearing your Prosthesis
Partial dentures, flippers, or full dentures, should not be used immediately after surgery for at least 10 days, as discussed in the pre-operative consultation.

Ravenel Quarterly No. 21 2017/05 / 2017-05-16
Held on two consecutive days, June 3 and June 4, the 2016 Spring Auction Taipei "Finest and Rarest Wines" closed successfully Saturday evening. The auction collected a total of 940 lots. With rigorous selection of wine quality, Ravenel presented exquisite fine wines from the new and the old worlds as well an abundance of Japanese and Scotch whiskies. This year's Spring Auction reached nearly US$2,400,000 in total revenue and over 70% sold by lot. Facing the market correction in Asian wine auctions today, buyers still gave Ravenel full support to maintain a stable foothold in Taiwan's fine wine auction market. As always, Ravenel appreciates the continued support and recognition of distinguished collectors everywhere.
The auction began with Bordeaux cellars. The results showed that wines from celebrated chateaus in legendary years were particularly favored. The market of cellar vintages is also recovering stably. The oldest vintage of this auction, Château Margaux 1900, was sold for US$12,979. The rest, such as Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1955, Château Latour 1966 and Château Cheval Blanc 2005, also

text: Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, has long attracted artists and wandering spirits, although it was originally inhabited by prehistoric fish. Their inland sea filled the basin contained by the Tatras and Carpathian mountains, but when it eventually dried up they were forced to yield the terrain to dinosaurs, wooly mammoths and Neanderthals. In human times the Celtic tribes came to reside here, leaving remains dating back to the 4th Century B.C. Their tribal name, Boii, gives the root of the word "Bohemia". The three separate territories of Bohemia, Silesia and Moravia now make up the modern Czech Republic, which split from Slovakia in the 1993 "Velvet Divorce." Thanks to its enigmatic founder, the city of Prague derives a magnetic appeal for visionaries, scientists and astronomers. The historical figure credited with the launch of Prague is Princess Libuse, a visionary prophet and warrior who once stood atop the hill at Vysehrad and made the prophecy as follows, "I see a vast city, whose glory will touch the stars!" This indeed came to pass after she took Otokar Premysl to be her husband and King, launching the Premyslid dynasty, and leaving it to rule for the first four hundred years of Czech history. When the last Premyslid king, Wenceslas III, died without producing a male heir, the fourteen year-old John of Luxembourg came to take the throne of the Czech lands. Hot-headed John died in battle, but his diplomatic son Charles IV inherited the throne and, through keen multi-lingual savvy, managed to both keep it and earn the title "Father of the Czech Nation." Charles IV was the first of the Holy Roman Emperors here; he ruled during the height of Prague's elegance and splendour. This is the man to know if you want to understand Prague's layout. He sponsored the construction of such landmarks as the Charles Bridge, the Hunger Wall and St. Vitus' Cathedral, as well as personally designing the neighborhood called New Town (Nove Mesto) which has for its center Karlovo Namesti or Charles Square. The city displays every branch of architecture across the last thousand years, including Cubism, a style which you will be hard-pressed to find applied to buildings anywhere else in the world. Beyond the stunning visual makeup of the city, there is a wealth of nightlife and entertainment, beginning with the legendary concert halls including the Rudolfinum, National Theater, Estates Theater and the Municipal House. After investigating the Castle and Bridge, which are the most heavily-trafficked tourist areas, take a look around Zizkov and Letna, two of the cooler neighborhoods for bars and restaurants. However quiet it may seem after ten PM, Prague is alive and throbbing in an endless array of basement bars, pubs, clubs, discos and pool halls waiting to be discovered by the intrepid subterranean adventurer. To get an idea of what lies in store, check out the panoramas for Chateau and Palac Akropolis and when you're out and about, make sure you look for the stairs down to the cellar. Apart from shopping, eating, drinking and wearing out your digital camera, delve into the rich green carpet of Prague's parks, many of which lie only walking-minutes from the city center.Text by Steve Smith.

Bollywood movie directors bold striking style with determination through their bollywood films in the wall traditionalism. Directors proposed acidic satire and comedy to illustrate the complexity of a society in its full progress. By Hinglish means a free and modern form of bollywood films cinema that inspires the subject until recently considered taboo, such as sexual fantasies, exotic lingerie, adultery, homosexuality, corruption and unemployment, to promote bollywood pictures, bollywood actress pics, bollywood concert, bollywood music, bollywood songs.
The content of these bollywood movies is more realistic from popular bollywood movies, the characters are more defined, traits receive substantial plot that is more complex.
The birth of Bollywood is dated May 3, 1913. Bollywood film cinema was silent then. "Raja Harishchandra" bollywood film enjoys a huge success, even if bollywood actresses' characters were played by men - cinema was the profession forbidden to women.
Govind Phalke Dhundiraj made about 100 bollywood films before being removed from cinema, appeared in 1930. For many, the 1950s were dubbed the "golden age" of bollywood film cinema, the emergence of the great filmmakers of the time, like Satyajit Ray, considered the greatest bollywood filmmaker, born not from Mumbai (Bombay), but competing studios of West Bengal.
In the 1970s and 1980s, bollywood films sector has gained in professionalism, but also in commercial productions. At the limit, the bollywood film directors approached realistic cinema style like "Arth", by Mahesh Bhatt (1982), which shows a link adulteress and that highlights the roles of strong women characters.
Bollywood films cinema has crossed then a difficult decade: color TV, internet piracy and money dependence of mobs have jeopardized momentum. Then the Indian economy began to open in early 1990. Funding sources were diversified. Fox and Disney studios have opened branches in Mumbai. Ten years later, was the bollywood films cinema industry time. Rich, popular, now is need to diversify, to leave the U.S. back on track that followed bollywood a little too easy, say some critics.
Innovative bollywood filmmakers begin to make a name in the industry worldwide, and Anurag Kashyap, whose film "indie Hindi was touring major festivals in the world. According to Raj Nidimoru, co director the film "Go Goa Gone", one of the first Indian movie with zombies, alternative cinema in India is just getting his first steps:
"Now it's just a ripple, but will soon become a wave!"
Also bollywood soap operas are bollywood films written, produced and filmed in India, with bollywood actors and bollywood actresses (not to be confused with the Indians in Western movies, unrelated to bollywood soap opera).
Bollywood soap operas daily, weekly, or twice a week and are running on special television networks in India as Star Network, Sony Entertainment, Sun Network, Doordarshan, Zee TV.
But these bollywood films soap operas are not broadcast only in India but in many suitable places, such as the U.S., UK, and other European countries, including Romania, and South Africa and Australia. Languages that prevail in bollywood films soap operas and in bollywood movies are those usually used in India, though many of these Indian soaps use a mix of Indian and English.
Bollywood movies Hindi soap operas or serials as they are called, have a number of features. Typically Indian soaps (Hindi series) are stereotyped, such as the story and the characters in their features.
One of the first Bollywood movies soap opera was Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi with Bahu Thi. In this first bollywood film soap was the story of an Indian businessman, the son of a humble and loyal wife and son. Immediately after the show, there was another Indian soap opera, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, which would translate "Story of our houses (families)" where as it was about a family of businessmen, a much-loved son, etc. Although the bollywood films are somewhat parallel similarity is quite high, writers usually try to shock the audience through various extreme scenes. Basically, they are using the leap time jump (about 20 years usually)- it appears when the show ends an era and the next episode; then continuous over 20 years (more or less) later, the effect of aging is highlighted with a few strips of white paint in the hair of bollywood actresses, and a few shades of gray the hair or mustache for bollywood actors.
The scenario of characters' face changing encountered especially in bollywood soap operas is characterized by changing a character's face, for example, a doctor, after a car accident. In some scenarios the patient loses his memory, and combined with the effect "leap of 20 years" can be a part of Indian series plot.
But as can be seen bollywood movies and bollywood songs have all that is needed to relax: a little bit of magic!

Type of one side (upstream or downstream) of an I/O bridge.
Cache type.
Type of a OS device.
Value returned by hwloc_compare_types when types can not be compared.
Host-side of a bridge, only possible upstream.
PCI-side of a bridge.
Unified cache.
Data cache.
Instruction cache. Only used when the HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_FLAG_ICACHES topology flag is set.
Operating system block device. For instance "sda" on Linux.
Operating system GPU device. For instance the "card0" DRM device on Linux.
Operating system network device. For instance the "eth0" interface on Linux.
Operating system openfabrics device. For instance the "mlx4_0" InfiniBand HCA device on Linux.
Operating system dma engine device. For instance the "dma0chan0" DMA channel on Linux.
Type of topology object.
Whole system (may be a cluster of machines). The whole system that is accessible to hwloc. That may comprise several machines in SSI systems like Kerrighed.
Machine. The typical root object type. A set of processors and memory with cache coherency.
NUMA node. A set of processors around memory which the processors can directly access.
Socket, physical package, or chip. In the physical meaning, i.e. that you can add or remove physically.
Cache. Can be L1i, L1d, L2, L3, ...
Core. A computation unit (may be shared by several logical processors).
Processing Unit, or (Logical) Processor. An execution unit (may share a core with some other logical processors, e.g. in the case of an SMT core).
Objects of this kind are always reported and can thus be used as fallback when others are not.
Group objects. Objects which do not fit in the above but are detected by hwloc and are useful to take into account for affinity. For instance, some operating systems expose their arbitrary processors aggregation this way. And hwloc may insert such objects to group NUMA nodes according to their distances.
These objects are ignored when they do not bring any structure.
Miscellaneous objects. Objects without particular meaning, that can e.g. be added by the application for its own use.
Bridge. Any bridge that connects the host or an I/O bus, to another I/O bus. Bridge objects have neither CPU sets nor node sets. They are not added to the topology unless I/O discovery is enabled with hwloc_topology_set_flags().
PCI device. These objects have neither CPU sets nor node sets. They are not added to the topology unless I/O discovery is enabled with hwloc_topology_set_flags().
Operating system device. These objects have neither CPU sets nor node sets. They are not added to the topology unless I/O discovery is enabled with hwloc_topology_set_flags().
Sentinel value
Compare the depth of two object types.
Types shouldn't be compared as they are, since newer ones may be added in the future. This function returns less than, equal to, or greater than zero respectively if type1 objects usually include type2 objects, are the same as type2 objects, or are included in type2 objects. If the types can not be compared (because neither is usually contained in the other), HWLOC_TYPE_UNORDERED is returned. Object types containing CPUs can always be compared (usually, a system contains machines which contain nodes which contain sockets which contain caches, which contain cores, which contain processors).

The course is an introduction to the photovoltaic (PV) applications in the general mix energetic context dominated by climate warming mitigation.
The various uses of solar energy are firstly presented before a short description of the principle of the direct solar photon conversion into electricity (PV). The various PV technologies are reviewed in the current context dominated by crystalline silicon cells. The perspectives of the various technologies are then analysed in terms of R&D investments. From a more scientific point of view the basis of the solar cell operation is presented from the solar spectrum characteristics. The fundamentals of PV conversion are summarized. In particular the various sources of the conversion efficiency limitations are reviewed. The solar PV systems, from cells to grids, are also addressed, with a particular emphasis on the challenges of grid-integration of PV and the development of storage technologies. The environmental and social impacts of PV are compared to the competing energy sources. Generally PV is at advantage as referred to other fossil or renewable sources. Finally the fast evolution of economics and financing of PV is presented together with the current key players, mostly Asian companies.

A minute or so into what became a combative diatribe, [Andrew] Meyer's microphone was turned off and officers began trying to physically remove him from the auditorium. Meyer flailed his arms, yelling as police tried to restrain him.The crime is "disrupting a public event."
He was then pushed to the ground by six officers, at which point Meyer yelled, "What have I done? What I have I done? Get away from me. Get off of me! What did I do? ... Help me! Help."
Police threatened to user a Taser on Meyer if he did not "comply," but he continued to resist being handcuffed. He was then Tased, which prompted him to scream and writhe in pain on the floor of the auditorium.
Video (via Michelle Malkin):
ADDED: To my eye, Meyer is acting like a Yippie of old. I wonder how that made John Kerry feel. Why didn't he intervene in some creative way? Who's fighting and what for? What most distinguishes this incident from a Vietnam era scene is that the young people don't turn on the police and chant "pigs!"
