The secret to reading minds
Hint... the quality of books you read is key
Fifty Shades of Grey may be a fun read, but it's not going to help you probe the minds of others the way War and Peace might. That's the conclusion of a new study, which finds that, compared with mainstream fiction, high-brow literary works do more to improve our ability to understand the thoughts, emotions and motivations of those around us.
Perhaps it's no surprise the lead author of the new study, David Kidd, came to social psychology by way of Russian literature. Now a PhD student at the New School in New York City, he is versed in arguments from literary theorists that divide fiction into two categories. When we read a thrilling-but-predictable bestseller, "the text sort of grabs us and takes us on a roller-coaster ride," he says, "and we all sort of experience the same thing." Literature, on the other hand, gives the reader a lot more responsibility. Its imaginary worlds are full of characters with confusing or unexplained motivations. There are no reliable instructions about whom to trust or how to feel.
Kidd and his adviser, social psychologist Emanuele Castano, suspected the skills we use to navigate these ambiguous fictional worlds serve us well in real life. In particular, the duo surmised they enhance our so-called theory of mind. That's the ability to intuit someone else's mental state -- to know, for example, when someone raises their hand toward us, they're trying to give us a high-five rather than slap us. It's closely related to empathy, the ability to recognize and share the feelings of others. Increasing evidence supports the relationship between reading fiction and theory of mind. But much of this evidence is based on correlations: Self-reported avid readers or those familiar with fiction also tend to perform better on certain tests of empathy, for example.
To measure the immediate cognitive effects of two types of fiction, Castano and Kidd designed five related experiments. In each, they asked subjects to read 10 to 15 pages of either literary or popular writing. Literary excerpts included short stories by Anton Chekhov and Don DeLillo, as well as recent winners of the PEN/O. Henry Prize and the National Book Award. For more "mainstream" selections, they looked to top sellers such as Danielle Steel's The Sins of the Mother and Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl and to anthologies of genre fiction, including a sci-fi story by Robert Heinlein.
When participants finished their excerpts, they took tests designed to measure theory of mind. In one test, the Diagnostic Analysis of Nonverbal Accuracy 2-Adult Faces (DANVA2-AF) test, they looked at a face for two seconds and decided whether the person appeared happy, angry, afraid or sad. In the more nuanced Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET), they saw only a small slice of a face and picked from four complex emotions such as "contemplative" and "skeptical."
On average, both groups did slightly better on these tests than control subjects who read either a non-fiction article or nothing at all. This fits with previous research showing a positive relationship between fiction and theory of mind. But among the fiction readers, those who read "literary" works scored significantly higher on the theory-of-mind tests than those who read popular selections, Kidd and Castano report online in Science. The absolute differences in scores were hardly dramatic: On average, the literary group outperformed the popular group by about two questions (out of 36) on the RMET test, and missed one fewer question (out of 18) on the DANVA2-AF. But psychologist Raymond Mar of York University in Toronto notes that even very small effects could be meaningful, provided they translate into real-world consequences -- reducing the likelihood that social misunderstandings could create grudges or leave someone in tears.
Keith Oatley, a cognitive psychologist at the University of Toronto, agrees any evidence of literature's effect based on this experimental approach is "big news." "I'm quite impressed that they managed to find results with these tests."
Still, the "literariness" argument needs hammering out. Castano believes these results show fiction's power doesn't hinge on exposing readers to foreign viewpoints or offering a persuasive, empathetic message. "For us, it's not about the content," he says. "It was about the process." But Mar points out there are probably many ways to improve theory of mind, and "different things might work for different people." Some may find stories with a moral of acceptance and empathy increase their theory-of-mind skills, for example, while others might benefit more from the practice of filling in the emotional gaps in an ambiguous story.
Cognitive neuroscientist Vittorio Gallese of the University of Parma in Italy, who is also exploring how the brain responds to works of art, finds the new link between real and fictional worlds exciting, but is skeptical of the distinction between literary and mainstream fiction. "This is a very slippery ground," he says, because historical tastes often move the boundary between "high" and "low" art. For example, he says, Honoré de Balzac's The Human Comedy was released in serial form as a work of "popular" fiction, but has since attained the status of a classic.

How to Put Together a Green Marketing Media Partnership
Stations can put together marketing programs that include everything from :30 and :60 commercials to long-form programs, public service announcements, web components and live broadcasts. The cost of these programs can be split among a number of local businesses, effectively lowering the cost for all participants.
Given the FCC's interest in localism, it behooves all stations to focus on providing relevant, local information for their audiences. Combining that information with station advertising products creates a viable model so the station can invest its resources and gives local businesses a great marketing opportunity.
Another option is to work with a local non-profit that is particularly focused on green initiatives. By combining forces with them you offer the local stations more expertise and credibility and reduce the workload on you and your staff. Obviously you have to share the airtime with your non-profit partner but maybe they can find some money to chip in and help pay for the program. Many non-profits have grant writers on their staffs or can bring in a grant writer for a special project.
If you're unsure how to proceed, call and invite the station's sales manager to lunch (no one ever buys him or her lunch). Be prepared to work with the station to show them how they can make money marketing green technologies and practices. You'll be amazed at the brainstorming that will take place and the opportunities that are created
These tips were written by Doug Finck, general manager of WPXT-TV and station manager of WPME-TV, Portland, Maine. It was excerpted from the PR News Going Green: Case Studies in Outstanding Green Business Practices, Volume 1. To order a copy, visit the http://www.prnewsonline.com/store/.

BREAKING: Report: Bret Bielema Leaving Wisconsin For Arkansas
Scoop: Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Arkansas is set to hire current Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema.
Significance: This is a blow to both Wisconsin and the Big Ten. Bielema has taken the Badgers to the Rose Bowl three straight years (though this year wasn't really anything to brag about) and turned the school into a top-tier Big Ten program.
Story: There have been a lot of rumors about who the next head man would be in Fayetteville, but nobody that we know of was reporting that Bielema was even a possibility. We'll bring you more as we learn it.
Yahoo! Sports exclusive: Bret Bielema leaving Wisconsin for Arkansas.yhoo.it/TDY9yU More to come
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) December 4, 2012
The next obvious question is whether Bielema will coach Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl. According to Mark Schlabach, he wants to – that doesn't mean he will, however. We'll keep you updated.

Ophadell Williams, a bus driver accused of being so tired that he caused a crash that killed 15 passengers, got a Christmas present of a lifetime. He was found not guilty on all felony charges by a jury on Friday, essentially underscoring the difficulty in prosecuting so-called drowsy driving cases, the New York Times reports.
The driver, Ophadell Williams, was returning to Chinatown from an overnight trip to the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut in March 2011 when his bus struck a guardrail on Interstate 95 near the Bronx-Westchester border, flipped over, and smashed into a signpost with enough force to shear off part of the roof. The crash — one of the deadliest in the city's history — also injured many other passengers, including one man whose arms were torn off as he tried to shield his face.
After nearly two weeks of deliberations, the jury in State Supreme Court in the Bronx acquitted Mr. Williams of 53 of 54 charges, the most serious of which were criminally negligent homicide and manslaughter. He was found guilty on a single charge of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, a misdemeanor.
Mr. Williams, 41, showed visible relief as the verdict was being announced in the courtroom, at times wiping his eyes and putting his face in his hands. He has been in prison since September 2011 after he was unable to post a $250,000 bail — including Thursday night after the jury reached a verdict but the judge overseeing the case said there was no time to announce it.

3D Systems adds sugar to its 3D printing platform
Send this to a friend
- Lauren K. Ohnesorge

Several weeks ago, I was sitting in Ping Fu's office at Geomagic in Morrisville, when she said she had something to show me.
She carefully lifted the lid of a box and, immediately, her face fell.
"Oh no," she said, pulling out some white crumbs and a few pieces of what looked like chalk.
"Another one broke," and the frown turns to laughter as she pulls out a little white cube. "I'm still working it out."
That's when I see what it is. It's a miniature sculpture and it has been "printed" from sugar.
"I was just trying something," she said.
Obviously, whatever Fu was "trying," ended up working out.
Her employer, 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) – the company that purchased Geomagic – just made another purchase: The Los Angeles-based The Sugar Lab, which is a lot what it sounds like.
The company is dedicated to 3D printing customized, multi-dimensional, edible confections in real sugar – exactly what Fu has been experimenting with in her free time. The Sugar Lab isn't exactly a stranger to the Rock Hill-based company, having adopted 3D Systems' printing technology to print on a sugar bed using different flavored edible binders that meet food safety requirements. Now, 3D Systems can integrate its technique into its overall platform, potentially inspiring a lot of tasty art in the process.
The terms of the transaction weren't disclosed, and it may be just another of many such transactions for 3D Systems, which has been on a deal-making rampage over the past year.
But I'm betting Fu thinks the deal is pretty sweet.

"I want to state I had a problem with one of the pieces I placed in an order with the company and with the excellent help of Dan the problem was fixed in no time at all.
I will keep ordering from Picturesongold and will keep referring my friends as well."
-- Tony
"I wanted to get a gold charm that represented the dedication and love my son had for being a member of his college's marching band. This was for his 18th birthday. Since his college is a very well known school I thought it would be easy to find that charm. It wasn't I looked all over the internet and called my local jeweler. Couldn't find what I wanted anywhere. I luckily found your website. I called and spoke to Danny. This was to be a "custom" charm. We spoke and he gave me ideas that I never even thought of I was thrilled that finally I was able to get my son the charm I wanted too. I received the charm and it was beautiful, everything I expected and more. We gave my son the charm this weekend when we visited his school for Parent Weekend. He now owns something that no one else does and his fellow band mates/friends have given him numerous compliments. Thank you Danny and the others who helped make my idea a reality It was a pleasure and I would not hesitate to order from your company again."
-- Diane
"I had to write in to tell you how pleased I am with my purchase. The quality is amazing and the color photo is crystal clear - I will definitely be ordering from you again. I also want to thank you for making my order a priority. I was concerned that I would not receive my pendant in time and Daniel assured me that it would be ready. He also helped me save money by suggesting I it ship ground (I was going to Next day the item). I received my order 3 days ahead of what I needed and I am extremely pleased! I will be spreading your name around to all my friends and family! Thank you for helping to make my mothers birthday extra special!"
-- Deanna
"My wife Venita Lawrence and my 4 children paid for me to design a club ring, well it came in today and it is beautiful, craftsman ship is second to none. The only problem that I noticed is it took a little longer to receive the ring than what was posted,well I guess the quality makes up for the long Waite. Great Job ALL!"
-- Verlon
"This necklace was bought for my sister. It was done and mailed in 3 days. We all just love it. My sister will treasure it forever..... Thank you so much. I have told all my friends about your co. and I will def. shop w/you again."
-- Michelle D.
"I absolutely love this service. Received a beautiful picture locket for Mom and a unique ring for me. Can't beat it! I definitely recommend and will use it again. Thanks!"
-- Julie
"Just received my bracelet. It is beautiful and unique
and I LOVE IT. I now have an everlasting image of
my precious schnauzer, Sadie. This bracelet will always be my most cherished piece of jewelry."
-- Marie
"I have had a great experience with this company. I am so happy with the product I received and how fast I received it. I have been looking to get a certain charm for my 15 year old son for about two years. I was looking for a number in sterling silver. I have seen quite a few different ones over the two years but they were never what I wanted to get him and I was never happy with them. I have ordered and sent back at least four of them. I by mistake stumble upon your website. And I am so grateful I did. You had exactly what I wanted to get him. I am so pleased. I just know he will love it. I am so grateful. I am also so grateful for the sped of processing my order than making it and getting it to me. When I ordered pre-made numbers from jewelry stores it took anywhere from 2 weeks to a month before I received it. But with you I received it in 3 day total. I ordered it Wednesday and got it Friday. I was amazed. All I want to say is thank you so much for helping me make my son happy this Christmas. It means a lot to me. Thank you again. And marry Christmas."
-- Lonnie
"I just got the watch I ordered for my husband's birthday, and it is so beautiful! It turned out just as I wanted it to! I can't wait till the lockets I ordered for my sisters arrive, i'm sure they'll be gorgeous too!"
-- Emma
"Danial, when my daughter passed away and I got in touch with you to make me a two in. heart with her picture on it. Well it turned out beautiful and the picture is so life like. You did a beautiful job and now my daughter will always be close to my heart. Thank you so much."
-- Vanessa L.

IN AN unprecedented move, the northern NSW diocese of Grafton
has placed advertisements in multiple east-coast Australian
newspapers, apologising to children abused at a children's home in
Lismore. The apology relates to claims of abuse from the 1940s to
the 1980s.
The advertisements apologise "unreservedly" to children who
suffered "sexual abuse, harsh punishment, or a lack of appropriate
and nurturing care" at the North Coast Children's Home. The diocese
also asks for forgiveness ...

The company's president and board member is heading for Sears.
Brookstone Inc. president and CEO Ron Boire resigned today to take a new position at Sears Holdings Corp. Boire will become executive vice president, chief merchandising officer and president, Sears and Kmart.
Jackson Tai, Brookstone's chairman, will serve as interim president and CEO during a search for a permanent successor to Boire, who also was on the board of directors. Tai has been a director since August 2008 and non-executive chairman of the board of directors since February 2009. Brookstone is a retailer of household products and gift items.
Brookstone, No. 189 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, also announced that James M. Speltz has been appointed vice president and chief operating officer. Speltz has been with the company since 1998 and served for the past year as vice president, business development and supply chain.
Brookstone has not yet reported its 2011 year-end financials, but the company anticipates that total 2011 sales increased at least 5% over fiscal year 2010, says Thomas Moynihan, vice president and chief financial officer.
"We continue to be encouraged by our improving operational and financial results despite the difficult macro-economic environment," Moynihan says. "Our new initiatives, including our online marketplace and expanding wholesale and licensing divisions, have been important pieces of our continued success and will be critical to the company's future growth."
Brookstone's wholesale and licensing division was established to develop relationships with other retailers and manufacturers worldwide to expand the brand, the company says.
Through the first nine months of fiscal 2011 ended Oct. 1, Brookstone reported:
Brookstone is owned by J.W. Childs Associates, OSIM International Ltd. and Temasek Holdings Ltd.
In November, Sears (No. 7) announced e-commerce president Imran Jooma would take on the additional responsibility of heading up all marketing, financial services and pricing operations.

- Diva Dirt reports that WWE has signed twenty-year old British women's wrestler Britani Knight after she had her second tryout yesterday at the SmackDown tapings in London. She had her first tryout match back in November of 2010. Her brother Zak also had a tryout last year and yesterday with WWE, but no word yet if he was signed.
Britani, known as "The Norfolk Doll", comes from a famous wrestling family in the UK known as "The Knight Dynasty."
She is the current Pro-Wrestling: EVE Champion and made her debut earlier this year for the SHIMMER promotion.

Life is good for Julius Peppers. The defensive end recently inked a 3-year deal with Green Bay, and now he's reportedly dating model Claudia Sampedro. One man's trash (she used to date Reggie Bush), is another man's treasure.
Sampedro shared the following photo to her Instagram on Monday of her and Peppers vacationing in Mexico.
She also posted this video, which we are going to place right here for you, because there is nothing bad about it.

Rob Ford: The circus returns to town: Hepburn
Toronto mayoral race to heat up when disgraced mayor gets out of rehab and restarts his campaign.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
When Rob Ford announced seven weeks ago he was putting his re-election campaign on hold and was entering a rehab centre for substance abuse, the 2014 Toronto mayoral race took a dramatic turn from insanity to normalcy.
Overnight, the campaign, which had been dominated by the circus-like madness that trailed Ford whenever and wherever he went, took on a new direction.
Suddenly, the election wasn't about crack-smoking, racist slurs and foul-mouthed videos, but rather about serious issues such as transit, housing and taxes.
Finally, "we were able to talk about some policies" without the distraction of Ford and his personal trouble, current front-runner Olivia Chow said Wednesday during a meeting with the Star's editorial board.
Starting next week, though, the mayoral race will take yet another dramatic turn when Ford comes out of rehab and heads straight for TV cameras to insist he's all recovered and that he's ready to start campaigning on Canada Day.
In short, the Rob Ford circus is returning to town.
For many voters, it's been a relief to have Ford hidden away — except for several notable outings — at a Muskoka rehab facility. For them, the sense of normalcy at City Hall and in the campaign that emerged in Ford's absence only reinforced how disgusting it was to have him as mayor, embarrassing himself and the city with his outrageous personal behaviour.
However, that all ends when Ford hits the election trail again.
It also means Chow and John Tory, the other main contender, must again fine-tune their campaign strategies, this time because Ford is back.
While Ford may be down, none of the candidates, including David Soknacki and Karen Stintz who trail badly in the polls, are taking the disgraced mayor lightly.
Even while he's in rehab, Ford remains a force in the campaign. A public-opinion poll released Wednesday showed Ford with surprising support, in second place behind Chow and ahead of Tory. The Forum Research poll had Chow with 34 per cent support, Ford 27 per cent, Tory 24 per cent, Soknacki 6 per cent and Stintz 3 per cent.
Campaign organizers for Chow insist she is well ahead of Tory in their private polls. At the same time, Tory strategists claim their internal polls show Chow and Tory in a virtual dead heat among committed voters.
The only thing they agree on is that Ford is faring worse than the Forum survey suggests, with one private poll pegging Ford at just 16 per cent.
Tory strategists say they started planning weeks ago for the day Ford rejoined the campaign. In recent days, they have aggressively stepped up public appearances by Tory and have been holding a series of telephone town hall meetings. They claim 8,000 people checked in at town hall session earlier this week, with some 2,500 staying on the line for at least 30 minutes.
They anticipate Ford will bounce up in the polls in the days immediately after his return, "partly due to the coming media overkill," as one top insider says.
However, they expect Ford's popularity ratings will soon decline again because he "has no real plans and not even the premier or the prime minister will see him," a fact Tory will make repeatedly in the weeks ahead.
"It's a sideshow you have to put up with and have to work around," the organizer said.
For Chow, the return of the Ford circus is a blessing. The more right-wing candidates in the race, the better it is for Chow, the only "progressive" on the slate. Although Tory's handlers claim he is picking up much support from Liberal voters, a crowded field on the right means vote-splitting could allow Chow to win the October election with barely 35 per cent of the overall vote.
Chow told the Star editorial board she believes Ford's support remains relatively high because of "a sense of alienation" among people who are struggling and who feel that no one at City Hall cares about them.
Having a sense that Ford "is in their corner somehow eases their pain," she said.
Expect Chow to step up her criticism of Ford in the coming weeks. That's because she doesn't believe he's a changed man.
"Even if he's changed his ways, I don't think his beliefs have changed one little bit," she said earlier this week. "He's insulted women and our city's ethnic, racial and sexual diversity too many times. All that's changed is he doesn't even apologize anymore."
None of the campaign organizers expect big changes in the race over the summer. Dozens of public debates and community festival appearances will fill up the candidates' calendars.
But no real movement is expected until September when the anti-Ford voters start assessing whether to vote for Chow or Tory, all in their desire to ensure that the recovering mayor is defeated.
The fall is when the attack ads, the mudslinging and the campaign nastiness kick into high gear. But the ground war really starts next week when Ford re-launches his campaign.
Indeed, the circus is back in town.

Q. We are a small company with fewer than 10 employees. We would like to terminate an employee who is pulling down workplace morale. What are the risks?
A. California law provides that, unless shown otherwise, employment is an at-will relationship and can be terminated with or without cause and with or without notice. A California employee's at-will status can be modified, however, by oral or written statements.
Adequate contract disclaimers and at-will statements in documents given to employees (e.g., handbooks, policies, etc.) are critical to minimize the risk that such materials may be alleged to have created an express or implied employment contract.
California law also recognizes that certain discharges may violate public policy. This type of claim is generally brought by a whistle-blower or some other person asserting a legally protected right, or by a person who has refused to commit an illegal act or who has reported such conduct. These include claims based on state or federal laws (e.g., the Fair Employment and Housing Act), constitutional provisions or regulations.

Chestnut Hill, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - Joe Rahon scored 20 points as the Boston College Eagles routed the Virginia Tech Hokies, 76-52, in Atlantic Coast Conference action at Conte Forum.
Rahon shot 5-of-8 from 3-point range for the Eagles (6-14, 2-5 ACC), who ended their three-game losing skid. Ryan Anderson (18 points), Patrick Heckmann (14) and Olivier Hanlan (11) also reached double figures.
Jarell Eddie was the standout player for the Hokies (8-12, 1-7), who dropped their seventh straight. He logged a double-double with 23 points and 10 rebounds but was the team's only player in double figures.
The Eagles came out of the gates hot, shooting a blistering 68.4 percent from the field in the opening half. At the other end, the Hokies shot 43.3 percent and headed into halftime down, 46-33.
Boston College shot just 31.4 percent from the floor in the second half, but it was enough to outlast the Hokies, who shot a dismal 21.7 percent. Virginia Tech missed all seven attempts from 3-point range in the half and hit just five total shots from the floor. The Eagles led by as many as 30 points down the stretch.
The Eagles outscored the Hokies 24-1 in points off turnovers in the lopsided win.

Industry businesses from Alaska to Washington are following the lead of Alabama pharmacist Danny Cottrell, who handed out $16,000 in $2 bills to his employees to spend in the community,
Dave Theobald, President and CEO of Turman Commercial Painters (www.turmaninc.com) in Northern California, is among those who have acted.
Theobald carried out his own "stimulus package" by giving $30,000 to his 200 employees in California, Oregon and Washington. He has also launched a website (www.PeoplesStimulus.org) to motivate others.
"I want to change the discussion about the economy to one of hope and action," says Theobald.
Like other business owners who are taking part, Theobald gave each of his employees the money in $2 bills, with only the condition that they spend it locally. A note attached to each $2.00 bill invites other local business owners to do the same.
Theobald is one of 46 business owners in the last two months who have been moved to take part. "I liked the fact that with a People's Stimulus Package you go to the bank, get the $2 bills, and the money can be circulating in the economy tomorrow. The employees love that they are helping the community, and it is a kick to see the reactions as business people take the $2 bills."
Theobald created www.PeoplesStimulus.org to encourage others to take part and track the results of the initiative. So far, he says, about 10 new companies a week have joined the effort, giving their employees a total of $116,559.
The participants include Tim Doolittle, regional manager of Miller Paint Company. "We thought it was a great idea," said Doolittle. "We have been giving back to the community in the Northwest since 1890, so this was right up our alley."
His company recently sent a letter home to each of its 265 employees with packets of $2. Included was a letter from company CEO Steve Dearborn that said, in part, "O.K., so it is not $787 billion, but we are trying to do our part as a small business to stimulate the economy." The letter encouraged the employees to spend the money locally and "spread the word."
Tom Skinner, a sales rep for The Sherwin-Williams Company, gave $100 of his own money to do his part. "I liked that this is one of those things that is attainable for 'everyman,'" says Skinner. "The news about the economy has just been so negative. You start thinking, "what can I do?' This empowers you, because anyone can do it – it's really simple and nice to be a part of something special."
Says Theobald: "The appealing thing about the People's Stimulus is that it is individual business owners, committing what they can in their communities to help stimulate the economy. What we have in common is a belief that each of us doing our part can make a difference, and that helping others will ultimately be good for us all."

Look to the forestsCambria
Roger Cleary
Some things are so obvious that we say to ourselves, why bother trying to point out the obvious to the obviously ignorant?
I just put down the Shredder's "Death and taxes" (March 28). Shredder is right. It is wrong to tax, more than married couples, "gay couples … [who file} taxes separately."
It is the singles who file separately, and, yes, they should not be victimized by unfair taxation discrimination that favors married couples.
The solution is to strike down as obviously unfair, if not unconstitutional, all laws that discriminate against half the population, single people, especially in taxation.
On the homeless front, Matt Fountain tells us SLO City nixed the proposed Prado Road land parcel for homeless services center, with a news photo showing a barren-looking parking lot ("Another site excluded for proposed homeless center," March 28).
The answer to SLO's homeless is again obvious. Look to the Chumash. They successfully maintained shelter for the homeless for many millennia with California's inland oak tree woodlands and coastal Monterey pine tree fog forests providing food, water, and shelter for everyone from birds to bears, until the non-native European Americans destroyed them in the 19th century.
The solution is simple. Restore California's forests for cool shelter during hot summer season afternoons, warm shelter during cold winter season nights, and all-weather shelter from the wind and rain.
The Cambria Monterey pine tree forest, the areas recklessly and deliberately destroyed in the last year alone, could have housed, easily, all of the county's homeless, despite the claim that Cambria housing is too expensive, a reference to the dead-wood housing structures, not the living wood homes.
Stop SLO County, CalFire, and the local governing entities from continuing to destroy what's left of California's fragile endangered, vestigial forests, turning California into ever drier, more barren, more fire prone, more "wildlife habitat free," more shelterless landscapes.
