We've already called the lead acting Emmy races here. Need your supporting acting winners? They're over here. Now it's time to wrap things up and predict the Emmys for drama and comedy series. Tune in Sunday (the show starts at 5 p.m. PDT) to see how we did.
Odds: 2-1. The season under consideration was excellent. The current series-ending season — airing while ballots were out — has been phenomenal. And it has never won this Emmy, even though its actors have been amply rewarded. All signs point to a victory. (But then, they kind of did last year too, so we're not getting too cocky.)
Odds: 7-2. Though a few critics carped about some outlandish plot points in the show's second season, "Homeland" also produced some of the most heart-stopping moments on TV this year. It won last year and could easily wind up repeating.
EMMYS 2013: Full coverage | Top nominees | Complete nominee/winner list
Odds 6-1. The Netflix buzz might make it a spoiler here, even though, in terms of quality, it's the lesser entry.
Odds: 10-1. If the television academy's fanboys (and girls) were ever going to stage a palace coup, this would be the year. There's no debating its worthiness.
Odds: 20-1. The lack of writing nominations is telling. "Mad Men" show runner Matthew Weiner will need to regroup for the series' final, two-part run.
Odds: 25-1. It has its ardent admirers, but not enough to win this competitive category.
Odds: 2-1. It has already won for each of its first three seasons. Certainly, the novelty is gone and, arguably, the quality has dipped. But it still has the broadest appeal of the nominees, making it likely to win yet again.
Odds: 3-1. It's the critics' choice, and you could certainly make a case for Louis C.K. being the man of the moment in comedy. Do enough voters share that comic sensibility? We'll soon find out.

Willard Christopher "Will" Smith, Jr. (born September 25, 1968) is an American actor, film producer and pop rapper. He has enjoyed success in music, television and film. In April 2007, Newsweek called him the most powerful actor on the planet. Smith has been nominated for four Golden Globe Awards, two Academy Awards, and has won multiple Grammy Awards.
In the late 1980s, Smith achieved modest fame as a rapper under the name The Fresh Prince. In 1990, his popularity increased dramatically when he starred in the popular television series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The show ran for nearly six years (1990–1996) on NBC and has been syndicated consistently on various networks since then. In the mid-1990s, Smith transitioned from television to film, and ultimately starred in numerous blockbuster films that received broad box office success. In fact, he is the only actor in history to have eight consecutive films gross over $100 million in the domestic box office as well as being the only actor to have eight consecutive films in which he starred open at the #1 spot in the domestic box office tally.
Fourteen of the 19 fiction films he has acted in have accumulated worldwide gross earnings of over $100 million, and 4 of them took in over $500 million in global box office receipts. His most financially successful films have been Bad Boys, Bad Boys II, Independence Day, Men in Black, Men in Black II, I, Robot, The Pursuit of Happyness, I Am Legend, Hancock, Wild Wild West, Enemy of the State, Shark Tale, Hitch and Seven Pounds. He also earned critical praise for his performances in Six Degrees of Separation, Ali and The Pursuit of Happyness, receiving Best Actor Oscar nominations for the latter two.

SANTA BARBARA After a season of career highs, Kings guard Marcus Thornton had plenty of lows last season.
In 2011-12, Thornton averaged a team-high 18.7 points. Last season, as a reserve with inconsistent playing time, he had career lows in minutes (24.0 per game) and scoring average (12.7).
Now he's looking forward to a fresh start under new coach Michael Malone, who was on New Orleans' staff when Thornton played there before being traded to the Kings.
"I'm so ready to get out there and prove myself again," Thornton said. "I've been doing that for five years now, and I'm ready to do it again."
Thornton knew he would be a backup before last season began. Then-coach Keith Smart moved Tyreke Evans to shooting guard, Thornton's starting spot, and expected Thornton to provide instant offense off the bench.
But it wasn't until late in the season that Thornton and Smart came to an understanding on how Thornton operated best off the bench. Rather than entering games for the first time at different stages, he consistently came in late in the first quarter.
"It was very tough, very tough," Thornton said. "Coming off the year I had, at first I didn't understand it. But I knew it was for the good of the team, and sometimes you have to make sacrifices. And that's what I did."
Thornton could return to the starting lineup this season. The Kings drafted shooting guard Ben McLemore in June, and he likely will be Thornton's main competition for the starting position.
Thornton said he doesn't know what his role will be, but he relishes the opportunity to compete for the starting job. And he's enjoying his relationship with McLemore, the seventh overall pick from Kansas.
"Ben is a sponge," Thornton said. "He's asking questions, (doing) things I didn't do my rookie year. So for him to have a heads-up, getting to know the plays and if he (doesn't know), he'll come to the side and ask me. That's a plus for Ben. The sky's the limit for him."
McLemore said Thornton has been a great mentor, even though they are competing for playing time.
"He's been showing me a lot of things throughout training camp, showing me different tips," McLemore said. "It's basketball, so you're going to fight for positions, but at the same time, we're teammates, and we're going to work each other out."
Thornton knows Malone well and what it will take to earn playing time strong defense.
"I know what (Malone's) philosophy is already, and that's defend," Thornton said. "Everything else comes after. Being there that half a year with him in New Orleans gives me an upside."
Defense hasn't been Thornton's strength. He has gambled, playing the passing lane in search of steals. And at 6-foot-4, Thornton doesn't have the size that gives McLemore (6-6) an advantage as a man-to-man defender. But Thornton has focused on his defense during camp.
"(Thornton) has bought in to the defensive end of the floor," Malone said. "It's early, but we're going to pride ourselves on getting stops."
If Thornton can help the Kings defend better they allowed a league-high 105.1 points per game last season it will give him his best opportunity to start and put the lows of last season behind him.

I suddenly want to see a Thane/Shep drabble from you 8D (or have you done one already?)
The song is old, even by her standards. He takes her hand and walks her to the center of the room, placing a hand on her waist. "Just follow my lead, siha."
She places her hand on his shoulder tentatively. "Okay."
He shows her the steps and somehow, through unfathomable grace on his part, they glide across the room without her once stepping on his toes.
Look at him. Absolutely gorgeous and for all appearances at rest, but in truth ready to spring into motion at any second, at any sign of a threat. This is a true assassin, appearing utterly innocuous and harmless, but truly lethal once given cause. He's just waiting, perfectly content to just wait forever for that one precise moment when he will be called upon for a perfectly-timed strike. The man knows his work. He is a master assassin, after all.
WRITE THE FEELS. DO IT. I ran out of steam to do so. D: And time soon too.
Well, since you asked so nicely.

By | May 1, 2012, 12:08 pm IST Goth
Enthusiasts participate in the Whitby Goth weekend, a semi-annual gathering of goths, steampunks, victoriana aficionados, and lovers of the macabre.
WHITBY, ENGLAND - APRIL 28: A goth shows of her elaborate make up during the Whitby Goth Weekend on April 28, 2012 in Whitby, England. Whitby Gothic Weekend which started in 1994 to celebrate all things dark and mysterious has now grown to a twice yearly event for Goths. Whitby was partly chosen because Bram Stoker wrote his famous Dracula story in the fishing town with the Gothic Whitby Abbey as his inspiration. The weekend has now grown from providing a few bands to include followers of Romanticism, Victoriana, Cybergoth and Steampunk.

favourite faces for favourite mythic ladies: Rán with Cintia Dicker
Gold, on sweetheart ramblings,
Pow'rful is and pleasant;
Who goes empty-handed
Down to sea-blue Ran,
Cold her kisses strike, and
Fleeting her embrace is—
But we ocean's bride be-
Troth with purest gold."
Greedy Rán, ever-hungry ocean queen who drags sailors down to feast in coral-walled halls, where the mead flows as free as it ever did in Valhalla. Watery death goddess, she casts her inescapable net wide, no ship safe from the threat of her demanding nature. The ocean will have what it will.

Hatsan's AT44-10 Tact .25 caliber PCP Air Rifle is one of the few tactical air rifles that's a pellet repeater. Because it's hard for manufacturers to make an accurate repeater, most don't even try. But Hatsan has perfected the process, and their AT44-10 line is proof that you don't have to pay a fortune to get velocity and accuracy. Even better, Hatsan's velocity comes from using lead pellets, not those featherweight alloy pellets that go fast but won't hit the target. When you shoot this air gun, you're not tied to just an air rifle. Take off the buttstock, and you'll have an air pistol version of a Buntline Special. Such versatility makes this air gun a better deal than most other repeaters. While Hatsan hasn't had as much time on the American market as many other airgun brands, they've proven themselves with excellent quality and workmanship. The Hatsan AT44-10 Tact has a 9 shot magazine which will give you lost of shooting time and less reloading time. Hatsan's AT44-10 Tact .25 Caliber PCP Air Rifle is now available in this great deal of a kit! Included is a spare air cyllinder, extra 9 round magazine and air stripper to give your pellet an open path to travel for better accuracy.

Every Day is a Holiday – Jury's Stellar Award
57 min. by Theresa Loong, New York, NY.
Growing up in suburban New Jersey, Chinese-American filmmaker Theresa Loong knew little about her father's past. One day, she discovered his secret diary, written when he was a teenager and POW in a Japanese work camp during World War II. In it, he vowed to make 'every day a holiday' if he survived. "Every Day is a Holiday" tells the painful but life-affirming story of her father's unlikely journey, from Chinese Malay teenager and Japanese POW, to merchant seaman, Veterans Affairs doctor and naturalized citizen of the country that liberated him: the United States. Using intimate conversations, rare archival footage and his wartime diary, the film traces how, through sheer strength of will, Paul Loong overcomes the horrors of war and obstacles as an immigrant.
Theresa Loong is an award-winning multimedia artist, filmmaker, interactive media professional and educator whose work has been exhibited at the SVA, Sala de Exposiciones, Teriennale di Milano and Circulo de Bellas Artes.

Invoking the spiritual and aesthetic style of Robert Bresson, this powerful film celebrates the luminous connections between horse and dog without one word of dialog.
Salmon Deadly Sins - Jury's Choice
7 min. by Steven Vander Meer, Arcata, CA.
Five thousand salmon colored index cards, the seven deadly sins, bizarre anagrams and a host of serendipitous occurrences mingle in the artist's imagination and emerge as "Salmon Deadly Sins." With music by Leftover Salmon, this flipbook style film is a moving drawing; each frame was created individually, by hand, on a 3x5 inch index card. Envy, gluttony, greed, lust, pride, sloth and wrath are the inspiration for each chapter in this ingenious animation.
A World of Difference – Directors' Choice
8 min. by Gerald Guthrie, Urbana, IL.
A digital animation that moves along a bumpy path through space and time, to discover truth, perfection and meaning. This enigmatic piece sets the stage for such a discovery by presenting unique machines that produce philosophical solutions on demand.

Sleight of Hand - Directors' Choice
10 min. by Michael Cusack, Adelaide, Australia.
Sleight of hand refers to skill in feats requiring quick and clever movements of the hands, especially for entertainment or deception, as in juggling, and card or coin magic, and with the intent to trick or deceive. "Sleight of Hand" is a stop-motion animated film about illusions. A man yearns to know his place in the world and how he fits in, when sometimes it's better not to know.
Virtuous Virtuell – Jury's Citation
7.5 min. by Thomas Stellmach, Hessen, Germany.
Hand crafted ink drawings inspired by the overture of the opera, "The Alchymist," by Louis Spohr, serve as basis for this animation. The drawings play on the threshold between the figurative and abstract, thus allowing for a wide range of associations to form. Synchronized to the music, they grow and change. The drawings take on the characteristics and moods of the music and take the viewer on a journey into a musical world of pictures.

They come in a variety of styles, colors and shapes. You can buy light bulbs for ceiling fans, track lighting, tube shapes and chandeliers. However, this type of light bulb is the least energy efficient.
Another type of lamp is the bulb, which is used as an energy saver. Both lamps come in the form of a tube and wound form for applications in businesses, offices and a traditional base for bulbs. They are available in almost as many colors as incandescent lamps and can even mimic sunlight.

Katherine has practiced Amrit Yoga and Kundalini Yoga since 2008. One of the biggest breakthroughs in her practice and personal life was when she received the transmission of the Incan Munay-Ki Shamanic Rites of the Laika in 2011 by our beloved teacher Lori (Kavita) Richardson. After this breakthrough she began to lift the veil about her deeply hidden inner passions and her love for humanity. It was only after this initiation and rite of passage that the healer and humanitarian began to emerge. But it was during the Level I Amrit Yoga Teacher training in 2013 that she began the journey of uncovered her true essence and her path as a yogi. She states that, "The journey of learning is never truly over until the last dying breath and even then, it remains in question."

Loose comfortable clothing. The same you would wear to a yoga class. The session is done fully clothed. If you will be enjoying an Herbal Treatment please wear dark shorts and sleeveless shirt.
Can I eat ahead of time?
I recommend not eating anything heavy 1 hour before your appointment.
I'm not flexible or I have an injury, can I still attend a session?
Yes, Thai Yoga Therapy is designed to work for almost any body type. It will assist in the bodies flexibility and aid in the healing process. Modifications can be done for most injuries, please contact therapist for more information if you have an injury and inform her of that injury.
Why would a yoga practitioner try Thai Yoga Therapy?
~The benefits of Thai Yoga Therapy to a Yoga practitioner are that the client can experience the deep stretches from poses that would be difficult for them to achieve without assistance due to the years it may take to develop the strength, balance and flexibility to perform the pose in a solo yoga practice. Because theses stretches are deeper, it enhances one's ability to practice solo on the mat.

Learn More About Working at CBO and the Agency's Career Opportunities
May 2, 2008
CBO issued a study today examining possible future private investment in new nuclear power plants. The extent of such investment depends not only on possible charges for carbon dioxide (if the Congress adopts climate change legislation) but also on existing incentives provided for such plants in the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 2005.
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that demand for electricity in the United States will increase by 20 percent by the end of the next decade. Most of the additional demand would likely be met by conventional fossil-fuel technologies without the incentives in EPAct or the prospects of a market price on carbon emissions.
- Carbon dioxide charges of about $45 per metric ton would probably make nuclear generation competitive with conventional fossil fuel technologies as a source of new capacity and could lead utilities to build new nuclear plants that would eventually replace existing coal power plants. At charges below that threshold, conventional gas technology would probably be a more economic source of baseload capacity than coal technology. Below about $5 per metric ton, conventional coal technology would probably be the lowest cost source of new capacity.
- EPAct incentives would probably make nuclear generation a competitive technology for limited additions to base-load capacity, even in the absence of carbon dioxide charges. However, because some of those incentives are backed by a fixed amount of funding, they would be diluted as the number of nuclear projects increased; consequently, CBO anticipates that only a few of the currently proposed plants would be built if utilities did not expect carbon dioxide charges to be imposed.
- Uncertainties about future construction costs or natural gas prices could deter investment in nuclear power. In particular, if construction costs for new nuclear power plants proved to be as high as the average cost of nuclear plants built in the 1970s and 1980s (adjusted for inflation), or if natural gas prices fell back to the levels seen in the 1990s, then new nuclear capacity would not be competitive, regardless of the incentives provided by EPAct. Such variations in construction or fuel costs would be less likely to deter investment in new nuclear capacity if investors anticipate a carbon dioxide charge, but those charges would probably have to exceed $80 per metric ton in order for nuclear technology to remain competitive under a scenario with high construction costs and low natural gas prices.
The study was written by Justin Falk of our Microeconomic Studies Division.

9 ways to know if you're middle class
There's no hard-and-fast definition, but surveys show what kind of income and lifestyle you're likely to have if you -- and others -- think you're middle class.
Again some idiot with zero qualifications or knowledge about the subject writes an artical. Im tired of useless people who do not deserve more that a min wage job getting the chance to write something. They just throw it together with no research and zero proven facts. As a country we believe it! As a country we have to stop this BS because there are people out there that cant make a decision for them selves so they are influenced buy these over paid retards!
"Middle Class", is a state of mind.
Statistics will tell you that you need to make a minimum of $90K to be considered middle class. Anything below that is "working class, upper lower class, lower class" and so on.
Forget what label you want to fall under, forget what statistics tell you where you fall.
If you work, you try to support your family, and you do the best you can with what you have, regardless of how much you have, then there is only one label that you should fall under...and that is "Hard working".
lol...this post clearly tells you I'm "poor". haha
Two incomes of 50k, home with 298k to still pay off, 8 years from retirement, and thanks to greedy creditcard companies charging high interest, walloing in debt. Equity in the home is gone because of the values plummeting, and now underwater and unable to get out from under the debt.
Worried about the job not being there tomorrow, 401k depleted, worried about retiring. living like we're poor because everything we counted on has been squeezed out. Everyone takes a piece, and is getting rich, while our debt mounts.
There is no middle class, we are all poor on different levels.
Funny I do all mentioned above and I am poor period. I also know some people that are rich and also those this.
I feel like middle, only worse than the average middle class person.
Wow, I wouldn't have thought that the average middle class family would have $48,000 saved for each of their kid's college education by the time they graduated high school. Anyone else think that figure seems high? Most middle class people I know, even at the higher ends, don't have that much saved for sure.

Not my fish
This is a beautiful rainbow trout from the river behind my house. I did not catch it, which in retrospect kind of pisses me off, but I cannot deny the beauty and the deliciousness of this catch. What makes this fish even more special is that it is natural to the river; the state stocks the river with trout, so catching a fish that is native is rare and difficult. I wish that I had been the guy to reel this one in, but my nephew takes the honors. He's like that with the ladies too. Yeah, I hate him too.

text: Hi I had sex July 13th and since then I have gotten 4 periods. The first was 2 days late and was super heavy with terrible cramps to the point where I threw up lasted 6 days. The second was one lighter than usual and 2 days early with barley any cramps lasted six days. The third was 4 days early 1 day shorter and still lighter with light cramps lasted 5 days.The most recent the fourth was a week early lighter than normal and still barley any cramps lasted 5 days. I don't think I am pregnant because I took three tests and they were all negative. The reasons my periods could be different is because of excerise and dietary changes, however there is still a part of me that believes I could be pregnant. Is there any way? My periods are normally 4-7 days. Heavy periods usually can fill a pad or tampon in 3 hours. Takes 6 to fill one now.

There is abundant evidence that environmental factors may contribute to a variety of diseases in women, including breast and ovarian cancers, osteoporosis, endometriosis, uterine fibroids and autoimmune diseases. Many federal agencies and offices are working to address these environmental and often preventable threats to women's health. The HHS Office on Women's Health (OWH) established the Federal Interagency Working Group on Women's Health and the Environment (FIWGWHE) in 1994 to coordinate and focus federal action in this area.
The FIWGWHE meets quarterly and consists of more than 40 representatives from various federal agencies and offices, including the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Environmental Protection Agency, Food and Drug Administration, Health Resources and Services Administration, Department of Labor and Department of Defense. The group has 3 goals:
Currently, the FIWGWHE has 5 subcommittees that meet on a monthly basis to develop, plan and implement multi-agency activities that address specific areas of interest.
Since its inception in 1994, the FIWGWHE and its subcommittees (both past and present) have conducted many activities to address important topics related to women's health and the environment. Some highlights include:
The Federal Interagency Working Group on Women's Health and the Environment is chaired by Suzanne G. Haynes.

Johanns, Fischer want amendments to immigration bill
Nebraska Senator Mike Johanns says he could not vote at the present time for the immigration bill moved to the floor for full debate but voted like other senators to get out of committee because the current immigration laws are flawed.
Johanns told reporters he is hoping for an open amendment process that will correct the problems he sees with the bill. Johanns says more specifics are needed about border security, ensuring that illegal immigrants are behind those who played by the rules when seeking American citizenship, and enforcing eligibility requirements in the workplace.
Neb. Republican Sen. Deb Fischer says there are many amendments ahead for immigration legislation before it will get any support from her. Fischer says the legislation must, first and foremost, secure the border. Fischer also lawmakers must remove the so-called 'pathway to citizenship' for illegal immigrants, and like Johanns enforce worker eligibility requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Earthquakes in California
What is the earthquake risk for the state of California?
California has two-thirds of the nation's earthquake risk. Some 2,000 known faults crisscross the state, producing an average of 102 earthquakes a day – more than 37,000 a year. Click here for more information.
I don't live near an earthquake fault line. Is my home safe from damaging earthquakes?
The 1994 Northridge Earthquake occurred on a previously unknown fault. New faults are discovered all the time, so even if you think your home and family are safe from earthquakes, it pays to be prepared to survive and recover.
What is the most damaging earthquake scenario that can happen in California?
Analyses of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) scenarios predicted the most damaging earthquake scenario in southern California is a magnitude 7.1 earthquake on the Puente Hills Fault. It could kill up to 2,000 people and displace 58,000 households and cause at least moderate damage to 569 highway bridges, 2 airports and 470,000 buildings. In northern California, the most damaging scenario earthquake is a repeat of the 1906 San Francisco magnitude 7.9 earthquake which could kill up to 4,000 people, displace nearly 64,000 households, and generate 23 million tons of debris.
Go to Top
The most damaging earthquakes are probably not going to occur anytime soon – why should I worry?
Earthquakes strike suddenly, without warning. They can occur at any time, and in any season of the year.
About Earthquake Insurance
Why should I buy earthquake insurance?
Most residential insurance policies do not cover earthquake damage – a separate policy is required. Without earthquake insurance to help you recover from catastrophic damage, you will be responsible for all costs to repair or rebuild your home, to replace your personal property, and to live and eat elsewhere. Click here for more information.
What Are My Earthquake Risks?
No part of California is "immune" from earthquakes—in other words, there is no "low-risk" area in California for Earthquakes—there are only areas of lower or higher risk.
In general terms, your home's risk level depends on where you live in relation to earthquake faults, the age and type of dwelling you live in, and the soil types where you live.
Some parts of California that have not experienced earthquakes for 200 years or more might be more susceptible to earthquakes than areas that have experienced recent earthquakes. Why? Earthquake faults build up tension over long periods of time; what we experience as an earthquake occurs when that tension is suddenly released. It is theorized that relatively recent earthquake activity means that faults have released built-up tension—a lack of earthquake activity can mean that tension is still building and could be released at any time as an earthquake.
Is my residential property insurance company required to offer earthquake insurance?
Yes. By law, all residential property insurance companies must offer earthquake coverage.
My condominium association doesn't have a Master Earthquake Policy. How will this affect me?
In condominium communities, the exterior of buildings, certain building components, and common areas are typically owned by all the condominium owners as a group. In the event of earthquake damage to such property, the association may, in accordance with its bylaws, impose an assessment against all members of the association to pay for exterior or structural repairs. Click here for more information about Loss-Assessment coverage for CEA Policyholders
Go to Top
Will the government help if a big quake strikes?
Maybe. Maybe not. Depends. Assistance from the federal government may be available to assist individuals who have property damaged by earthquakes. However, California residents should know that State and Federal disaster assistance programs have specific eligibility criteria and may not always be available. In addition, Federal and State funds alone are unlikely to be enough to get your life back to its pre-disaster condition. If the President of the United States declares a disaster, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may only grant limited assistance to those who qualify. The Small Business Administration may make available low-interest loans to help with repairs. But you must qualify and of course, you must repay the loan.
About CEA Earthquake Insurance Policies
What types of policies are available from the CEA?
The CEA offers earthquake insurance policies to help homeowners, mobilehome owners, condominium owners, and renters recover from damaging earthquakes. Click here for more CEA Insurance Policy Information.
How many CEA policies are in force throughout California?
The CEA has more than 800,000 policies in force, representing about 70 percent of all residential earthquake insurance policies sold in California.
How can I buy CEA earthquake insurance coverage?
CEA policies are sold and serviced exclusively through CEA's participating insurance companies. A list of Participating Insurance Companies is available at www.EarthquakeAuthority.com. Call your broker, agent, or residential insurer to purchase a CEA policy or for more information about coverage and policy limitations.
Only your broker, agent or residential insurer can give you an accurate premium quote. But you can use CEA's online Premium Calculator at www.EarthquakeAuthority.com to get an estimate.
How are CEA premiums determined?
CEA's premiums are based on science, not profit. By law, CEA rates must be sufficient to allow the CEA to remain financially sound, to pay its covered claims. CEA rates are based on the best available science for assessing earthquake risk and do not include any amount for profit. For example, homeowners earthquake insurance premiums are calculated according to the dwelling's insured value, location, construction-type, foundation, age, and number of stories, in addition to the policyholder's coverage choices. Click here for more information on rates and premiums for homeowners, mobilehome owners, condominium owners, and renters.
Where does my premium dollar go?
About 83% of funds the CEA collects are dedicated to claims-paying capital, reinsurance, and the costs associated with financing. About 14% is allocated to agent commissions, and participating insurer fees. Less than 3% is devoted to CEA operating expenses.
How does the deductible work?
A CEA policy deductible is a calculation of the share of loss for which a policyholder is responsible. For claims that exceed your CEA deductible, you needn't spend money out-of-pocket before becoming eligible for payment on your claim.
How Much Earthquake Insurance Should I Have?
Like the basic question of whether earthquake insurance is right for you, how much coverage is right for you depends on your individual circumstances. The following questions may help you decide:
Participating insurance companies process all CEA policy applications, policy renewals, invoices, and payments and handle all CEA claims.
Does the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) declare a moratorium on buying/selling earthquake insurance after an earthquake?
The CEA does not restrict buying/selling CEA insurance products after an earthquake. It is possible, however, that after an earthquake, CEA participating insurers may restrict writing of their residential-property-insurance products (e.g., dwelling fire, mobilehome, renters, or condominium-unit owners).
Under California insurance regulations, applicants who wish to purchase CEA earthquake coverage must have a residential property insurance policy in effect from a CEA participating insurer.
After a recent earthquake, I purchased a California Earthquake Authority (CEA) policy and received a notice entitled "Information for Purchasers of New California Earthquake Authority Policies." How does the notice affect me?
It is important for you to know that certain earthquakes are not covered under your CEA earthquake policy: (1) earthquakes that occurred before the effective date of your policy and (2) earthquakes that are described in the notice entitled, "Information for Purchasers of New California Earthquake Authority Policies."
Please read the notice—and your policy—carefully: The notice provides you with information on a recent earthquake that has an impact on the effective date of your earthquake-insurance coverage for the 360 hours following the earthquake.
What is Meant by a "Mini-policy"?
In 1996, by act of the California Legislature, a reduced-coverage, catastrophic earthquake-insurance policy became available. This so-called earthquake "mini-policy" is intended to protect a policyholder's dwelling—to provide a "roof over your head"—while excluding coverage for costly non-essential items such as swimming pools, patios, and detached structures. The standard CEA Homeowners policy is based on and authorized under the mini-policy law. Such policies are intended to help the policyholder avoid catastrophic loss while keeping premiums more affordable for more consumers.
Can I purchase a CEA policy all by itself, without purchasing a Homeowners, Condominium or Renters policy?
No. California law requires you to have a residential insurance policy in-force with a CEA participating insurance company in order to have a CEA earthquake policy. If your residential insurance policy cancels, your CEA policy cancels at the same time. It is important to make sure your CEA policy remains in-force and is updated anytime you make a change to your residential insurance policy.
When did the new CEA Homeowners Choice product become available?
The new CEA Homeowners Choice product is available for policies beginning on or after July 1, 2012.
Is the new CEA Homeowners Choice product available for Condominium and Renter customers as well as Homeowners customers?
No, Homeowners Choice is available for owners of dwellings or manufactured homes (mobilehomes) only.
How will my existing CEA policy be affected by this new product?
There will be no impact to your existing CEA policy; however, you will be eligible to replace your current CEA Homeowners earthquake policy with a new Homeowners Choice policy at any time after July 1, 2012.
Can an existing CEA standard Homeowners earthquake insurance policyholder replace their current policy with the new Homeowners Choice policy?
Yes. The current CEA standard Homeowners earthquake policy can be cancelled and replaced with the new CEA Homeowners Choice policy. A qualifying companion Homeowners policy can have either a CEA standard Homeowners policy or a CEA Homeowners Choice policy, but cannot have both.
What is Loss Assessment?
In condominium communities, the exterior of buildings, certain building components, and common areas are typically owned by all the condominium owners as a group. In the event of earthquake damage to such property, the association may, in accordance with its bylaws, impose an assessment against all members of the association to pay for exterior or structural repairs.
This coverage is unique to condominium owners, in that if damage from an earthquake occurs and the losses are not fully covered by the association's master insurance policy, Loss-Assessment coverage may help you pay for your share of certain assessments the association may impose on all property owners in your condominium development.
A partial list of assessments not covered are those made to pay for the repair of non-residential structures, awnings, patio coverings, pools, spas, club houses, artistic features, or separate parking structures.
What does Loss-Assessment coverage cover?
If your condominium owners association imposes an assessment to repair damage caused by an earthquake, Loss- Assessment coverage may help pay your share of certain assessments. Your CEA policy has the details.
You may buy CEA Loss-Assessment coverage even if your condominium owners association does not have a "master" earthquake policy in force.
Go to Top
Why have the premiums for Loss Assessment changed over time?
Today, an increasing number of condominium homeowner associations are either buying earthquake coverage with high deductibles or electing not to purchase earthquake insurance at all.
As a result, there is a greater likelihood that homeowner associations will use unit-owner assessments to repair damage following an earthquake. This results in an increased probability of loss under a CEA policy with Loss-Assessment coverage—requiring the CEA to adjust premiums for this coverage over time. Doing so ensures that the premiums the CEA does charge are commensurate with the increased probability of loss as the number of CEA policyholders who purchase Loss-Assessment coverage continue to grow.
For CEA Policyholders
Who should I contact if I need assistance regarding CEA policy coverage, applications, billing, or claims?
CEA's Consumer Services staff is available to assist you; however, your insurance broker, agent, or residential insurer should be able to answer claims, billing, and coverage questions. Click here for a list of participating insurance companies.
Where do I send my payment?
CEA participating insurance companies process all CEA premium payments. Please contact your broker, agent, or residential insurer for more information.
Where can I get a copy of my CEA policy?
Your broker, agent, or residential insurer should be able to provide a copy of your CEA policy.
Why did my CEA premium change?
CEA premiums are based on science, not profit, and are calculated based on a number of factors, such as your dwelling's insured value, location, construction-type, foundation, age, and number of stories for homeowners policies. One of those factors may have changed. Ask your broker, agent, or residential insurer for details.
Go to Top
Why doesn't my CEA policy cover everything I own?
Coverage from CEA is designed to help you rebuild after a catastrophic earthquake - covering everything would significantly increase premiums. The CEA's goal is to get you back into your home and return to normal life as soon as possible after a catastrophic earthquake.
For CEA Participating Insurance Agents, Brokers, or Residential Insurers
Does the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) declare a moratorium on buying/selling earthquake insurance after an earthquake?

Who should policyholders contact if they have questions about CEA policy coverage or claims?
CEA policyholders should contact their broker, agent, or residential insurer for questions regarding policy renewals, changes to an existing policy, or handling of CEA claims. Our participating insurers can be located here.
Where can I get an estimate for a CEA policy?
You and your policyholders can get an estimate for a CEA policy by using the Premium Calculator found on CEA's Web site, www.EarthquakeAuthority.com. To get an estimate for an annual CEA premium, simply select the policy type, enter the start date of the CEA earthquake policy-period, and press "submit".
Where can I find Specimen Copies of CEA policies?

About the CEA
What is the CEA?
The CEA is a privately funded, publicly managed not-for-profit organization that provides catastrophic residential earthquake insurance, and encourages Californians to reduce their risk of earthquake loss.
Why was the CEA formed?
In January 1994, a 6.7-magnitude earthquake struck California's San Fernando Valley. It was the costliest earthquake in U.S. history. By January 1995, insurers representing more than 93 percent of the homeowners insurance market in California severely restricted—or refused to write altogether—new homeowners policies. This triggered a crisis that seriously threatened the vitality of the state's housing market, prompting the California Legislature to establish the CEA in 1996.
Is the CEA a state entity/government entity?
No, the CEA is a public instrumentality of the state of California, not a state agency, or a department of government.
Is the CEA funded by the state?
No. The CEA is not funded by the California state government. California's budget issues have no impact on the CEA's ability to pay claims, because the CEA, as a privately financed entity, receives no money through the state budget.
Who manages the CEA?
California's Governor, State Treasurer, and Insurance Commissioner serve as the CEA's governing board voting members; they are joined by two non-voting members including the Chair of the Senate Rules Committee and the Speaker of the California Assembly.
How is the CEA funded?
The CEA is funded through insurance policy sales and conservative investing.
Does the CEA have enough funds to pay my claim?
The CEA has nearly $10 billion in claims-paying capacity, from capital, reinsurance, and investments.
Go to Top
Is the CEA financially sound?
Yes, the CEA is financially sound. The financial strength of the CEA is rated A- (Excellent) by A.M. Best Company (a company that rates insurance companies). Click here to learn more about CEA's claims-paying capacity and financial strength.

Lewiston, ME— In their final game at the Androscoggin Bank in Lewiston, the Portland Pirates dropped a 3-2 shootout decision at the hands of the Albany Devils. Greg Carey scored his first professional goal and Lucas Lessio also scored for the Pirates while Mark Visentin, back from his stint in Phoenix, made 28 saves.
The first period saw a lot of back and forth action, with both teams playing a majority of the period in the neutral zone. In the second, the goals started to come as the Pirates quickly took a 1-0, striking 23 seconds in when Greg Carey notched his first professional goal. Tyler Kennedy swooped into the Albany zone before slamming on the brakes along the right wing boards. After battling with the puck, he flipped a wrister on net that Carey knocked out of midair and redirected around Keith Kincaid for the night's first goal. Albany would answer minutes later when Reid Boucher buried his 22nd of the year, shooting a well-placed shot to Visentin's blocker side and in at 6:03. The Devils threatened more throughout the period, finally beating Visentin again when Dan Kelly loosed a slap shot through screens to make it 2-1 Albany at 17:02.
In the third, the Pirates would tie the game up on the power play with Lessio scoring his 29th goal of the year. Brandon Gormley received a pass near the blue line, skated down the right wing boards and dished the puck into the middle. Lessio, standing in the low slow, redirected the puck, beating Kincaid five-hole at 7:19.
The game headed into overtime where both teams had some chances. Visentin made a couple of saves early on and Andy Miele and James Melindy nearly connected just before time expired, but Miele's saucer pass was a bit off the mark. In the shootout, Jordan Szwarz scored, but Stefan Matteau and Mike Sislo each beat Visentin, giving the Devils the win and clinching a Calder Cup Playoff berth for Albany.
The Pirates will look to break their losing streak in their final game of the season against the St. John's IceCaps on Saturday at 7 pm at the MHG Ice Centre in Saco. 250 tickets are still available for the game at MHG Ice Centre by calling the Pirates' office at (207) 828-4665 before Friday at 5 PM.

Season Ticket holders can have their ticket value from the game applied as a credit to the 2014-15 season or can obtain a refund for the ticket value of the game by calling the Pirates office at (207) 828-4665.
Saturday's game can be heard on News Talk WLOB AM 1310/AM 780 as well as WEZR FM 105.5/AM 1240 in the Lewiston/Auburn area and WTME AM 780/1450 in Oxford County.

Drawn to Scale Announces Spire for Mongo
Bradford Stephens (CEO Drawn to Scale):
Today, we're announcing that we've ported MongoDB onto Spire as a platform. What this means is:
- You can easily scale your MongoDB cluster to 200+ TB
- You don't need to change a line of code in your app to make it scale
- You can use ANSI SQL (yes, joins), Mongo queries, and Hadoop on the same data.
Just a couple of thoughts:
- the push of NoSQL databases to get SQL support is growing extremely fast. But I still doubt this is happening thanks to the advantages of SQL, but more due to the 30 years of investments in the SQL ecosystem.
- I don't agree with Bradford's "MongoQL is also great because unlike SQL, there is only one flavor". As far as I can tell, MongoDB comes with 3 flavors of queries: the object-based query language, the aggregation framework (a combination of object-based QL and pipelining) and the Javascript-based MapReduce
- last but not least, what are Ryan Rawson's thoughts about Drawn to Scale going Mongo.
