The first compositional move any painter makes is to apply a limited focus. Whether it be a still life, an interior, a figure, or a landscape (which is the most all-inclusive of subjects), some portion of what we see must be excluded if we are to create a focused, effective composition. As Hans Hoffman put it, we must "eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak."
A limited focus is explored through the "picture window" — the imaginary window we impose around a subject. That window or "cropping" will ultimately define the boundaries of the composition and correspond to what will become the edges of the painting or drawing. When artists peer through a viewfinder or cropping device, or look through the camera, they are, in effect, testing various picture windows and possible compositions.
Applying a limited focus is actually a very flexible way of exploring composition. When we take control of the picture window — deciding where the top, bottom, left and right edges of the picture fall — we discover that there is not just one composition that can be extracted from a scene, but many. In the following demonstration, I will extract three compositions from the larger scene.
Next, by trying different picture windows, I generated three different compositions from the same area of the scene. Slight changes in the position of the picture window created noticeable shifts in how the energy of the scene was interpreted. Note that the proportions of each composition are not the same. Remember, the picture window is flexible, so I am not bound by standard proportions such as 8 x 10, 9 x 12, 16 x 20, etc. I can give the composition what it needs by contracting and expanding the picture window at the top, bottom, left or right edges.
GOOD: Options 1 and 2: Both options employ the same implied diagonal scheme: we enter in the lower right along the diagonal perspective created by the fence posts. We follow it to the left, and then zig back, rightward, up along the implied diagonal formed by the tops of the trees. The two compositions are otherwise identical, except that option 1 features more real estate to the left — which changes everything. It creates a wide "landscape" format which naturally suggests expansion from left to right. We still track the diagonal movement from the lower right to the left and back again, but our eye seems to travel a greater distance. In Option 2, we experience these same diagonal movements, but in a more compressed way. The vertical format reinforces this. The vertical or portrait format is less common in landscape painting, but with certain scenes, can be very effective in drawing the viewer inward and upward to create a sense of deep space.
BETTER: Option 3: This composition is the most successful of the three. It explores the same portion of the scene and uses the same implied diagonals, but it adds more sky, a foreground, and a dark tree on the right. Together, they offer greater movement and variation of shapes.
1. By expanding the picture window at the bottom, a dark cast shadow is introduced. This reinforces the entry into the picture and joins with the fence post, which then joins with the tall dark tree on the right to form a kind of semicircle of dark (see arcing arrow). This brackets the right side of the composition and creates an opening to the left where the background trees are. In his book Composition of Outdoor Painting, Edgar Payne refers to this type of composition as the "O" or circle. "It generally offers a pretty sure method of achieving unity," say Payne, "provided the main opening or space is kept dominant."
2. The tall dark tree on the right, the cast shadow in the foreground, and the dark trees on the left make for three strong, varying shapes of dark value. More variation of shapes means more a interesting composition.
3. A light opening between the trees (see oval) now becomes a shape unto itself. It offers another interesting element, surrounded by the many darker values, and provides another way to move through the space.
4. A clear fore-, middle-, and background is a tried and true way of staging the landscape space. It is not an absolute requirement that every composition use all three stages, but in this case the changes introduced in option 3 do establish all three layers, which helps create the suggestion of deeper space.

To the Editor:
When the Spanish pages were first printed in our local newspaper, the Craig Daily Press, I was delighted to realize that I lived in a community of compassionate, helpful business people. I cannot understand anyone begrudging this learning tool for those who wish to learn another language -- English to Spanish or Spanish to English.
As an army wife living in foreign countries, I quickly realized learning to read or speak another language is a difficult, time-consuming challenge. Anytime there were signs or articles printed in each language I was able to learn more of the other language.
Most of our ancestors were immigrants. My Norwegian grandmother learned very little English, partly due to a lack of available learning tools. My mother and aunts told me that sometimes the small town North Dakota paper where many Norwegians and Danes immigrated to printed an article in Norwegian, Danish and English and that this was one of the few ways my grandmother could improve her English reading skills.
Please, Craig Daily Press, continue your charitable attitude of helpfulness.

12 Surprising and Sad Country Star Splits
At least one of these separations has a happy ending!
At least one of these separations has a happy ending!
Folks in country music like to play nice with each other. But there are times when, as Waylon Jennings once sang, something's got 'em "feudin' like the Hatfields and McCoys."
Not long before he died, George Jones penned a final letter to Alan Jackson. He was asking for a favor, one the younger country singer was likely happy to fulfill. Now, as Jackson releases his Angels and Alcohol album he's shared a photo of that letter with Taste of Country readers.
We lost the Possum, George Jones -- who is considered one of the greatest country singers ever, if not the greatest country singer ever -- earlier this year. Of course, the 2013 CMA Awards paid tribute to the legend, with Alan Jackson and George Strait performing a duet of 'He Stopped Loving Her Today,' which is Jones' most recognizable and beloved song.
A man and his best friend -- reunited!
The country music community has been grieving since George Jones died in April. To help soften the blow -- and perhaps to cope with his feelings -- Randy Travis dedicated a new song called 'Tonight I'm Playing Possum' to a man many call the greatest country singer of all time. Joe Nichols joins Travis on this powerful duet.
George Jones was aware of his legacy at least as far back as 2005. That's when he conducted an interview with Taste of Country sister station WGNA in Albany, N.Y. and talked about how he'd like to be remembered. The Possum considered the good and bad of how he'd lived and summed it up for his audience.
Legendary country music artist, George Jones passed away on April 26 at the age of 81. The iconic country singer was laid to rest in Nashville, TN on May 2 after a nearly three-hour-long celebration of his life held at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville and was open to the public
So, I grew up in Kansas. When you tell people you are from Kansas there are 2 things they are usually going to reference:
1) The Wizard of Oz
2) The Westboro Baptist Church and their leader Fred Phelps
I would gladly hear a million more jokes about Dorothy and Toto then ever hear another thing about the WBC...
The details for George Jones' funeral service have been announced. The iconic country singer will be laid to rest on Thursday, May 2 in Nashville. In an honor fit for such a legendary talent, Jones' funeral will take place at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tenn. To accommodate the enormous outpouring of fan support, the service will be open to the public.
Country music artists and fans are reeling from the news that George Jones, arguably one of the greatest country singers of all time, died on Friday April 26. Born September 12, 1931, Jones is considered one of the most important and influential singers in the history of American popular music, and Nashville's biggest stars are taking the news hard.
Country music has lost one of its all-time-greatest icons, as legendary singer George Jones died Friday (April 26) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. He was hospitalized on April 18 with a fever and irregular blood pressure.

Is Chamberlain the bullpen's missing piece?
Before he ran to the mound yesterday, Joba Chamberlain took a second to look around. More than a year had passed since he'd last pitched in a big league game, and Yankee Stadium was prepared to give him a big ovation. Chamberlain tried to take in the moment.
"I did a little bit," he said. "Minus the raindrops in my eyes, it was something that I can't forget. I'll remember it just like I remember the first time I walked into old Yankee Stadium, and just to know the feelings that I got, to know that I'm back out there, helping this team."
Truth is, Chamberlain didn't help the Yankees too much in his return from the disabled list. His fastball didn't hum with the velocity everyone expected, and he had a tough time against the first big league hitters he'd faced since June 5 of last year — "It doesn't matter where you're at, if you don't execute pitches, they're going to get hit," he said — but Chamberlain was back, and that mattered as much as anything. He had his ankle taped, but said he never feels any pain there anymore. He said he hasn't felt pain in his elbow in months.
"I didn't come here just to play with my towels and go out there and play catch," he said. "I want to be in the game. Obviously I've got to prove that, and I'm fine with that. Obviously they believe in me to do my work and to understand how hard I've worked and what my stuff has been, so as I said, I'll get the ball on Friday and go to work."
Despite losing Mariano Rivera for the season, and losing Dave Robertson for a month, the Yankees bullpen has been a strength. David Phelps' prospect status has soared, Cody Eppley has emerged and Clay Rapada has been a better-than-expected situational lefty. The Yankees knew they could count on Robertson and Rafael Soriano, but the other pieces have also fallen into place nicely.
Now it's time to add Chamberlain. This is the bullpen arm the Yankees have been waiting for, a known commodity who could be more than a nice, unexpected role player. Will he fit the way the Yankees hope?
"I expect him to be a right hander that gets right handers and left handers out, just not a specialty guy," Joe Girardi said. "That's how I'm going to integrate him. As he throws better, obviously you give people more responsibility. … I'm sure there's a lot of things that went into (yesterday). Being out over a year, coming back from two serious injuries, there's probably a lot of emotions that went on. I was glad he wasn't over pumped up. That was my biggest concern with him going out there. There was a lot of emotion from the fans as well, happy to see him come back. I think you'll see him continue to improve as time goes on."

Submission + - Google Streetview Moves Indoors
Hugh Pickens writes writes: "Google is taking its Street View mapping service indoors with plans moving ahead for 360-degree Business Photos, a program that would send Google photographers to various businesses to snap professional photos for their Places Page. "This experience, using Street View technology, includes 360-degree imagery of the business interior and storefront," says Google. "With this immersive imagery, potential customers can easily imagine themselves at the business and decide if they want to visit in person." Photographs are taken by "trusted" photographers though businesses can also upload their own images via Google Places and is starting with businesses "that we know are searched for most regularly," like restaurants, hotels, retail shops, gyms, salons, and repair shops. Taking internal photos and posting them online brings up some security questions but Google says its photographs will "capture nothing different to what a customer would see by visiting the business in real life.""

Off Label Use of Drugs in Veterinary Medicine
Veterinarians routinely use drugs "off label." When a company wants Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a new medication, it has to prove that the product is both safe and efficacious. The approval process is long, complicated, and expensive. To simplify matters the company typically picks the most prevalent (lucrative) condition that the drug could be used to treat and runs with it.
Once the medication is on the market, veterinarians start thinking outside the box. With knowledge of the drug's mechanism of action, the physiology of veterinary patients, and how related compounds are used, doctors will try it for other conditions. This isn't as risky as it might sound (and it is perfectly legal) since the initial FDA application and subsequent scientific studies and/or clinical use have demonstrated that the drug is safe (or mostly so … more on this later). The question is, "Will it work for a condition other than the one(s) listed on the label?"
Here's a real world example. Maropitant (Cerenia) is a relatively new veterinary drug labeled for the treatment of nausea and vomiting. Maropitant belongs to a class of drugs called neurokinin (NK-1) antagonists. There are many different types of neurokinins, but the important one with regards to maropitant goes by the enigmatic name, "substance P." Substance P is a neurotransmitter involved in vomiting. By blocking it, maropitant can stop vomiting. But substance P is also found elsewhere in the body, especially in mast cells that play a big role in allergic reactions and inflammation.
A few enterprising veterinarians have started experimenting with using maropitant for other substance P-related conditions including allergic skin disease, sinusitis, joint disease, feline interstitial cystitis, coughing, diarrhea, and more. Initial clinical findings indicate that the drug may be beneficial, particularly in combination with rather than instead of more traditional therapies.
But here comes the potential downside of off-label use. Substance P is also involved in the functioning of the central nervous system (CNS). Using maropitant every day eventually depletes the reserves of dopamine in the CNS and can lead to tremors (think Parkinson's disease). Since the longest approved duration of use on the product's label is five days, this wasn't a problem until doctors began using the drug off label. Veterinarians have determined that giving the medication on a schedule of five days on–two days off, or every other day, prevents this side effect.
I don't like my patients to be guinea pigs. Clinical experience with the off label use of maropitant is in its infancy so I'm waiting for more information to be available before I try it for anything other than nausea and vomiting. I'll be watching the patients I do use it on closely though to see if their allergies or other concurrent diseases improve.

Good to know. The only things I've given kitties in the past is Reglan and metoclopromide which worked really well. It's nice to know there's something else that may be on the horizon.
Dr C, could you envision a scenario with a patient who's been unsuccessfully treated via traditional avenues, and the owner asks that an off-label solution be tried? In other words, it appears there's nothing to lose, and possible benefit to a patient plus a drop of evidence to add to case studies ... Would you then prescribe the off-label drug?
Yes, it's a fairly common scenario to "try something new" when traditional treatments are not working, particularly when we can be fairly confident that the treatment would be safe and the worst that might happen is a lack of response to therapy.
Have there been any new developments on this drug, Cerenia, since 2013? Our vet just prescribed such a therapy for our dog; however, when we gave our 12-year old whippet Cerenia (and Coenzyme Q10), he became much more congested, lost his appetite, and hasn't eaten much in several days (has visually lost weight). He does have other health issues, so I'm not assuming a cause and effect relationship, but the timing does seem rather suspect.

Breast & Balance Breat Augmentation cream Benefits:
Women's Delicate Hormonal Balance
Women may experience any number of hormonal shifts or imbalances throughout their lifetime that can affect their daily functioning and quality of life. A number of women often experience irregular or even painful menstrual periods along with Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS) that includes unpleasant symptoms such as mood swings, irritability, bloating and cramping.
Certain natural ingredients can aid in maintaining healthy hormonal balance, proper lymph drainage and glandular functions by providing essential nutrients. Some of the most important ingredients for these purposes, now included in the formula, are Evening Primrose Oil (GLA) and Wild Yam.
Anatomy of the Breast
The breast is made of lobes of glandular tissue with associated ducts for transfer of the milk to the exterior and supportive fibrous and fatty tissue. On average, there are 15 to 20 lobes in each breast, arranged roughly in a wheel spoke pattern emanating from the nipple area. The distribution of the lobes is not even, however. There is a preponderance of glandular tissue in the upper outer portion of the breast. This is responsible for the tenderness in this region that many women experience prior to their menstrual cycle.
Breast tissue is supported by ligaments called Cooper's ligaments that keep the breasts in their characteristic shape and position. In the elderly or in pregnancy, these ligaments become loose or stretched and the breasts sag. The lymphatic system drains the tissues of the breast of excess fluid. Lymph nodes in the glandular tissue along the pathway of drainage, also function to screen for foreign bodies (as part of the immune system) such as bacteria or viruses.

::sigh of relief::
2005-08-08 11:17:15
I am so glad that I'm done with my new AMV. As much as I like it, its too dark for my normal demeanor. Heck, with a name like "asphxiation", it should be dark. But the fact that the song has a particularly vulgar swear word in it (something I do NOT do) and is done with particularly violent show (something I try not to get too involved with) has made for a sort of "black sheep" AMV in my mind. I feel like the artist who has done his first nude drawing, and realised that even though its really good, its not what he wants to become.
So on to happier, less bloody action AMVs done to songs without vulgarity in them. yay. -
2004-11-03 22:46:23
::sigh::...its kinda sad burying all the work done over a several months. I took an obscene amount of time to finish my latest vid (Furious Angel), so deleting everything now that I'm done is kind of hard.
Oh well. Its uploaded for the public to now enjoy. On to big and better things! -
Getting closer.........
2004-09-26 21:50:59
My new AMV is almost finished, huzzah! I know its really good, the only problem I really forsee is that because its to a song without music, the audience will have to 1:make their own interpretations of the footage, 2:focus on the movie instead of the music, or 3:just not like the movie as much (I hope 3 isn't the case)
Still havent decided on a name yet. Song name is Furious Angel, the show is Trigun. I either figure "Furious Angel", "Desperate Angel(s)", or "Hisshi no Tenshi" (Angel of Desperation)
Is using a Japanese name a bad idea? Any comments ou there please?
Check it out if you're going to AnimeUSA or Nekocon (or some other con I forgot)
Wish me luck!

I'm so happy!! I have my Trigun DVD's, Premiere, a comp., songs, alotta ideas, and nothing else matters!!!! Let's hope my "Furious ANgel" vid turns out good.....
Surrender to the power of AMVs!!!!!!
2003-06-05 19:46:08
Yesh, now is the time. I love making them. The biggest annoyance though is when you have TOO many ideas......hmmm. HEY, YOU! Yeah You!The one reading this, do you want an AMV idea? (heheh, talking to the void is fun). I've got one down, and about 10 more to go (better get to work ^ ^)

According to Variety: Advertisement Advertisement Ben Kingsley is in final talks to play the villain in IRON MAN 3, but fans of the comicbook character will be disappointed to learn he won't take on original Tony Stark archenemy the Mandarin... Instead, Kingsley's character is involved in the spread of a virus through nanobots, given that IRON MAN 3 is loosely based on Warren Ellis' six-issue "Extremis" comicbook series first published in 2005. That arc - which also heavily influenced the first Iron Man pic - introduced a new origin story and focused heavily on nanotechnology. -Nanotech! The Extremis line has a lot of potential, even if the Mandarin did have some exceedingly chic accessories. Iron Man 3 is scheduled to open in theaters on May 3, 2013.Reply69 repliesLeave a reply

A mahogany-toned pakkawood handle completes the piece. Pakkawood provides strength and stability along with moisture resistance -- a valuable set of virtues in both home and commercial kitchens.

Health Coverage Health Coverage is dedicated to ensuring all Californians have healthcare coverage by eliminating barriers to applying for, using, and retaining health coverage. We support coalitions at the local, state and national levels to expand healthcare coverage and improve outreach, enrollment, retention and utilization in publicly-sponsored coverage programs. The touchstone project helps families enroll in and use low-cost health insurance program to reduce the number of uninsured children in LA County. Health Coverage mobilizes two coalitions — Covering Kids & Families California, LA Access to Health Coverage Coalition — and ABC (Accessing Benefits for Children) / El Proyecto de Salud ABC: Acceso a Beneficios Para los Niños, one of the first community-based outreach projects in California.Health Coverage also is an active member of the LAHealth4All coalition which brings together organizations representing hundreds of thousands of Los Angeles County residents working together to strengthen our county health safety-net infrastructure in order to improve the quality of health care and increase access for the remaining uninsured. POLICY REPORTS On the Path to Enrollment
Millions of Californians will be newly eligible for health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act starting January 1, 2014. Many will need help understanding, accessing, and using these benefits. This report provides information about the outreach, enrollment, and assistance programs required under the ACA, and about efforts to implement this continuum of consumer support in California. Published with the California HealthCare Foundation.
Bridging the Health Divide: Designing the Navigator System in California
This report details over a dozen recommendations for building a robust and consumer-friendly Navigator program in California. It provides an overview of the enrollment demands the state will face in 2014 and explores effective strategies for ensuring that as many individuals and businesses as possible can successfully enroll into coverage.
Bridging the Health Divide: LA Access Case Study
The LA Access to Health Coverage Coalition was established in 2002 to increase access to quality, affordable health insurance programs for low-income individuals in Los Angeles County. This report examines how Coalition agencies have adopted Outreach, Enrollment, Retention and Utilization strategies to enroll children into public insurance programs. It focuses on the unique approaches Coalition members have adopted to reach uninsured, eligible children and families.
Bridging the Health Divide: California's Certified Application Assistants
More than 20,000 individuals in California are trained as "Certified Application Assistants" to help families enroll in and maintain their public healthcare coverage. While the profession has grown and evolved through the years, very little is known about this dynamic workforce that bridges children and families to healthcare coverage and services. To assess the potential to advance the CAA profession, Community Health Councils conducted a survey of CAAs in Los Angeles County. Read the resulting report, Bridging the Health Divide: California's Certified Application Assistants.
OERU Toolkit: Strategies for Healthcare Coverage
The Toolkit is a companion piece to the Policy Framework for Outreach, Enrollment, Retention, & Utilization. The Framework provided the outline for California and its counties to structure and define OERU policies. The Toolkit is an additional resource that presents specific strategies to strengthen and build OERU.
Policy Framework for Outreach, Enrollment, Retention & Utilization for Healthcare Coverage in California
This report describes the experiences and successes of local programs, such as Children's Health Initiatives, in providing health coverage to all children and families throughout California.
Path to Accessing Health Coverage: Outreach, Enrollment, Retention & Utilization
California still faces the reality of more than 800,000 uninsured children. This policy brief identifies future challenges and opportunities and puts forward principles to strengthen outreach, enrollment, retention and utilization in California.
My Health L.A. Continues to Grow
by Anulkah Thomas, Health Coverage Policy Analyst February 20th, 2015 With less than six months of operation, the My Health L.A. program has already surpassed half of the enrollment target of 146,000.

Adults of the rare Olive Crescent moth are orange-brown in colour with whitish cross-lines (3).
A single-brooded species, adults fly in June and July. Caterpillars can be found between August and early October feeding on withered oak and beech leaves, either on the ground, on fallen branches, or on damaged branches still attached to the tree (1). The overwintering stage is the pupa(1).
In the UK this species occurs in a small and declining population in the Chilterns in Buckinghamshire, and in two populations in Essex (2). The range extends through most of Europe to Siberia, northern Iran and China (2).
All UK populations occur in woodlands (2).
Classified as Rare in Great Britain (2).
It is thought that changing woodland structure and new management techniques have affected the species (2).
A Species Action Plan has been produced for the Olive Crescent moth, which aims to maintain the present populations of the species, and has proposed a programme of monitoring (2).

The business of affordable health mandates
[caption id="attachment_64003" align="alignright" width="300" caption="MCT Illustration"][/caption]
FULLERTON, Thomas Stark: Can every American be required to purchase health insurance? All the commentary by Dean Erwin Chemerinsky and Professor John Eastman I found interesting, if not terribly helpful ["Taking the pulse of the high court," Life/wellness, April 4]. I was drawn to a remark by Eastman: "If I get hit by a car, the federal government has told emergency rooms they have to provide care for free, so why on earth would I buy insurance?" Eastman did not provide any answers to this question or any guidance about how we might answer the question ourselves.
If I carry a mortgage on my home, my lender will require that I provide homeowner insurance. If I own and drive a car, California will require that it be insured. Generally, I accept these "mandates" as prudent protection against potentially devastating loss and not as bureaucratic invasions of my freedom to choose for myself.
Yet, somehow health care is different – we are to imagine ourselves free to decide for ourselves if health insurance is needed or not. Indeed, with Eastman's assurance that, in any event, we will be cared for by others, we might be judged fools to purchase insurance on our own and for ourselves when we think we don't "need" it.
Teach us, Professor Eastman: Why should any of us buy health insurance? But if some of us do, why not everyone?
MISSION VIEJO, Gary Ford: We can't let Congress decide what the Affordable Care Act means. Its members haven't read the bill, let alone understood it. It appears that lawyers, who wrote the bill, are the only ones to have read it. Many Americans hope the Supreme Court will read and understand it and give feedback.
By the way, we may want to take a different approach to health care. As Americans, many of us are open to do that to help out our fellow Americans. However, we would have preferred a bit more methodical and scientific approach to solving an issue rather than ramming a bill through Congress.
A mission to lead?
TUSTIN, Danny Nitzen: Regarding the article "'Hour of Power' gets half-hour format" [Local, March 30], about what is happening with the now-bankrupt Crystal Cathedral: the ministry's current chief executive officer, John Charles, said, "While the ministry's board of directors has made no decision who will lead the congregation, I hope to be the one to lead them through this process." I find this amusing. This ministry's current chief executive officer says he wants to lead congregants when members have said that they want religious leaders with theology credentials.
While Charles' business skills may suit the position he holds for this ministry, his credentials in theology are very likely far below his ego, something this ministry has an abundance of.
Climate change measures
LAGUNA NIGUEL, Lyle Rennick: It's instructive to examine the points letter-writer Maryanne Rose presents as "facts" ["Environmental reason," April 4].
- "The climate has warmed": Well, yes and no. Over what period? The past 10 years? No. The past century? Yes. The past millennium? No. Since the beginning of the Holocene period about 11,000 years ago? No.
- "The polar ice caps are melting": There are two polar ice caps. The Arctic melted slightly during the past century; the Antarctic has grown.
- "Sea levels are rising": Since satellite measurements have been available, in the 1960s, the measured rise is less than 0.7 inches, about what would be expected as the Earth emerges from the Little Ice Age.
- "Humans produce CO2 that contributes to global warming": The first half of the sentence is technically correct, since human activity contributes about 5 percent of atmospheric CO2 (the rest coming from oceans, decaying vegetation and geothermal activity). The contribution of CO2 to global warming, however, is still a hypothesis. All that would be required to prove the hypothesis is a set of historical measurements that show that the ups and downs of temperature follow the ups and downs of CO2 concentrations over the centuries. So far, no such correlation, at least for short-term records (a few decades), has been found. CO2 levels are just as likely to be high during periods of low temperatures as vice-versa.
Before we accept "attempts to reduce human production of CO2" someone will to have to come up with a more convincing set of arguments.
More taxes slipped in
BUENA PARK, Daniel A. Thurber: As expected, the feds are tired of waiting for California to pay back the huge unemployment debt so they are slapping every business in California with an extra $21 federal unemployment fee ["Tax bill reveals secret," Local, April 4].
When the O.C. Watchdog calls the Employment Development Department and asks why employers were not informed, it responds it's not the department's responsibility because the feds raised the tax. Funny, the feds did not tell the Watchdog it was at fault for the increase.
You've got to give credit to Gov. Jerry Brown's team for pushing the blame on the feds. And let's not forget the captains of our state government for doubling the unemployment benefits in 2003 and wiping out that fat surplus that existed and turning that into a deficit of $10.2 billion.
What they didn't tell the Watchdog is that, eventually, the state will have to double the unemployment rate charged to employers to pay off the debt. Captains of the USS California are heading into the iceberg.
The presidential oath
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Ross A. de la Haye: M. Knudsen's well-penned letter put in the wrong oath of office for the president ["Obama's audacious power grab," Letters, April 3]. Here is the right one:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
The one Knudson quotes is the one taken by the vice president and members of Congress. It is also the one I took many years back when I received my commission in the Air Force. Ours included the words "without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion." I think President Barack Obama has several mental reservations about the Constitution.
Putting students at risk
LAGUNA BEACH, Rose Marshall: Letter-writer Emily Moothart laments that the state vaccine law violates her "personal beliefs" [Letters, April 1]. Her failure to vaccinate her children puts all other students at risk. She has the right to leave her children unvaccinated, but she does not have the right to then send her children to a public school, thereby putting all other students at risk.
If she chooses not to vaccinate her children, she still has the option to home school her children. I suggest that she do so and quit complaining about a law that was passed to protect the health of children in public schools.
Cast a fair vote
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Robert Kohn: I have no problem with putting the California "millionaire's tax" up to a vote, so long as only millionaires get to vote on it.

Kenneth Woolley, Chairman and Founder of Extra Space Storage, recently appeared on Bloomberg. Pimm Fox interviewed him for the "Taking Stock" segment.
We're excited that Kenneth was featured on Bloomberg and want to share some highlights with you. Of course, you're invited to watch the video too. View it on Bloomberg: "Self-Storage: Small Spaces Yielding Big Returns" or catch it at the bottom of this post.
What's a storage unit, and why is the self storage business so profitable?
Any good journalist starts out by asking or answering the most basic question of all – what? And that's precisely what Pimm did. He asked Kenneth to describe what's so profitable about the self storage business.
Kenneth provided a succinct description of self storage, and explained why it's so profitable. He said that the storage business is about renting "cubicles," primarily to people who store furniture rather than businesses, and the price per square foot is very similar to what someone may pay for an apartment. However, Kenneth noted that storage properties don't have all the overhead of apartment complexes, so they can be very profitable for those who build them and own them. As an example, Kenneth said that a typical storage property may contain 600 storage units, yielding a profit before financing costs of about $600,000 to $700,000 a year. He explained that in big cities both expenses and profits are higher, but in smaller rural markets profits and expenses are lower.
REIT, self storage and shareholders. How does that work?
Extra Space Storage, a real estate investment trust (REIT), just celebrated 10 years of being publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Yet, not everyone is clear on how shareholders benefit from investing in a storage business that's a REIT.
Per Pimm's request, Kenneth delved into the topic for the Bloomberg audience, explaining how income flows to shareholders. Here's a small snippet from Kenneth: "Most REITs are judged and generated from funds of operation, not taxable income. Typically, the taxable income is somewhere around 70 percent of the funds from operations, which means the dividend needs to be about 70 percent of that number, which is the case in our company."
Let's discuss fragmentation in the self storage industry and local entrepreneurs.
Pimm asked Kenneth to talk about how the self storage industry is fragmented, and the role that local entrepreneurs play in the storage world. According to Kenneth, there are about 55,000 self storage properties in the U.S., and larger companies own up to about 12 percent of those. Many of those are owned by mom and pop operators who built the storage properties and run them themselves. Kenneth noted that self storage properties exist in every city, from small farm communities to larger cities like New York City.
What's happening next with Extra Space Storage?
Pimm asked Kenneth where he'd like to go with the business. Kenneth said that this is a very exciting time in the business, and he sees a "continued growth path." Kenneth explained that the Internet has changed marketing for self storage. Due to prominence in search engines, larger companies have a clear advantage when it comes to finding customers. Kenneth, who predicts a consolidation in the self storage business, explained that he sees the opportunity to increase management structure, adding that it can be very profitable for self storage property owners to allow Extra Space to manage their platform.
Here's the interview in its entirety:

Nagoya, Japan (AFP) Oct 30, 2010 A historic global treaty to protect the world's forests, coral reefs and other threatened ecosystems within 10 years was sealed at a UN summit on Saturday. Rich and poor nations agreed to take "effective and urgent" action to curb the destruction of nature in an effort to halt the loss of the world's biodiversity on which human survival depends. Delegates from 193 countries committed to key goals by 2020 such as curbing pollution, protecting forests and coral reefs, setting aside areas of land and water for conservation, and managing fisheries sustainably. "This is a day to celebrate," UN Environment Programme chief Achim Steiner said straight after the accord was struck early on Saturday morning following nearly two weeks of tense talks in the central Japanese city of Nagoya. Delegates and green groups also said the accord offered hope that the United Nations could help to solve the planet's many environmental problems, particularly after the failure of climate change talks in Copenhagen last year. One of the most significant elements of the accord was a commitment to protect 17 percent of land and 10 percent of oceans so that biodiversity there could thrive. Currently only 13 percent of land and one percent of oceans are protected. Nevertheless, Greenpeace expressed disappointment at the new targets, which delegates said were lowered on the insistence of China and some other developing countries. Greenpeace had been pushing for 20 percent of oceans to be conserved, as a step towards an eventual target of 40-percent preservation. There were other limitations to the Nagoya pact -- including that the United States was not a signatory as it is one of the few countries not to have ratified the UN's Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). But while some green groups said the 20-point plan was not as ambitious as hoped, most still welcomed it as a historic step towards united global action in tackling biodiversity problems and raising awareness about the issue. "Governments have sent a strong message that protecting the health of the planet has a place in international politics and countries are ready to join forces to save life on Earth," WWF International director general Jim Leape said. Conservation International president Russ Mittermeier was even more upbeat, saying: "This conference must be viewed as a success and a major global achievement." The accord was clinched after a last-minute breakthrough on an 18-year stand-off over "fairly" sharing the benefits and knowledge of genetic resource riches that are found mostly in developing countries. Brazil, home to much of the Amazon basin and its global treasure trove of resources, had insisted throughout the summit that it would not agree to the 20-point strategic plan unless there was also a deal on genetic riches. Brazil and other developing countries argued powerful nations and companies should not be allowed to freely take genetic resources such as wild plants to make medicines, cosmetics and other products for huge profits. They had been battling developed countries -- where most of the drug and other companies that enjoy the benefits of genetic resources are based -- over the issue since the CBD was formed at the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992. The European Union led developed nations in finally agreeing to the so-called Access and Benefits Sharing Protocol to ensure success on the 20-point strategic plan. The legally binding protocol will ensure countries with genetic resources enjoy some of the profits of the assets' commercial development. However many details of the protocol, such as how much this may cost pharmaceutical companies and developed nations, were left for later negotiations. UN chiefs told the opening of the summit that forging a global consensus on protecting nature was vital to stop the mass extinction of animals and plant species. Nearly a quarter of mammals, one-third of amphibians and more than a fifth of plant species now face the threat of extinction, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Pressure will only grow with the world's human population expected to rise from 6.8 billion to nine billion by 2050.

Sunday Salon - Cat Sitter on a Hot Tin Roof by Blaize Clement
Dixie's first step is to reach out to a friend. She likes Laura Halston when she first meets her, and thinks she's made a connection. Laura tells her she's hiding from an abusive husband, and Dixie believes her. But, when Laura is murdered, Dixie finds that everything she believed is wrong. Dixie is forced to examine her own behavior, when she realized she fell so easily into Laura's story. How can she trust her own judgement about men, deciding between two sexy men, a lawyer and a homicide cop? As Dixie herself says, "There was absolutely no way I could have known that my chance meeting with Laura Halston would one day haunt me, or that knowing her would ultimately make me question myself in a way I'd never done before."
Blaize Clement's mysteries continue to be some of my favorites. Who can resist the wonderful Siesta Key setting? Clement's characters are likable, from Dixie, to Lieutenant Guidry, to Dixie's brother Michael and his partner, Paco. This book introduces another marvelous one, Pete Madeira, a former circus clown. There's always humor, and, of course, the pets. And, so far, Clement has remembered the rule, "Don't kill of a pet."
Cat Sitter on a Hot Tin Roof is another enjoyable, solid entry in this series. It's a book that allows Dixie to continue to grow as a character. Dixie's job allows her access to so many different types of people and households. Let's hope this pet sitter continues to stumble on crime for quite a long time.

Lawsuit says Vail Resorts misinformed investigators
October 15, 2013
VAIL — The attorney for Taft Conlin's family claims Vail Resorts violated Colorado's Skier Safety Act by not closing the run where the Vail teen was killed in an avalanche, then falsified documents about avalanche control measures.
That's not true, the ski company says.
Jim Heckbert said the company should be punished and asked for punitive damages in a motion filed in Broomfield.
"You can't put a corporation in jail. If you want to hurt a corporation, you hit them in their bankbook," said Heckbert, attorney for Conlin's parents, Steve Conlin and Louise Ingalls.
Kelly Ladyga, Vail Resorts' vice president for corporate communications, said Heckbert's assertions are untrue.
"The suggestion that any member of Vail Ski Patrol lied or deliberately misled the CAIC (Colorado Avalanche Information Center) or anyone else is baseless and absolutely false," Ladyga said.
"Safety is the No. 1 priority for Vail Ski Patrol, whose own family and friends ski Vail every day, and their actions are about protecting every guest," Ladyga said. "This was a terrible tragedy that everyone at Vail is saddened by, but disparaging the men and women of ski patrol is both wrong and unfortunate."
Punitive damages
Heckbert, an attorney with the Denver firm Burg Simpson, said Colorado law caps wrongful death awards at $250,000 for children. Punitive damages would allow a jury to award more than that.
"Punitive damages are a way of asking a jury to punish corporations when they've acted recklessly," Heckbert said.
Louise Ingalls and Stephen Conlin are local veterinarians.
At about 1:45 p.m. on Jan. 20, 2012, Conlin and his friends accessed Prima Cornice trail through the lower gate, which was open. The run's upper gate was closed following the first big storm of that snow-starved season.
Heckbert cited the Colorado Skier Safety Act as saying that if a ski area operator wants to close a trail, a sign must be placed at each identified entrance, or a rope strung up to identify the closed area.
According to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, Conlin and a friend sidestepped about 120 feet to a cliff above the lower gate. The avalanche swept them away and Conlin was killed. The Vail Ski Patrol found his body wrapped around a tree. Eagle County Coroner Kara Bettis said he was killed by a blunt force chest injury.
The avalanche was 18 inches deep, 200 feet wide and ran approximately 400 feet, according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center.
"If you want to close a portion of a trail, you have to clearly mark it as closed," Heckbert said. "It's called drawing a line in the snow. If they don't want people hiking up, they needed to put up a sign saying no hiking up."
Vail Resorts says they performed avalanche mitigation efforts that morning, prior to the slide that killed Conlin, including two ski patrollers who say they kicked snow off the top of the run. However, Heckbert says the evidence disputes that.
The latest motion alleges that Vail ski patrollers did nothing to mitigate avalanche danger on Prima Cornice and altered documents. It says that video from the GoPro camera Conlin was wearing indicate ski patrollers did not perform avalanche-control measures.
"Their story doesn't match with other independent evidence," Heckbert said.

They study in the classroom, but sometimes, real-life experiences are a better learning tool than anything else could possibly be for a student. That's what Dana Thomas, a fifth-grade teacher at Washington County Elementary School, was thinking when she had her students complete an on-demand writing assignment for a language arts class. The following three articles were written by students, describing the impact the recent ice storm that hit our community had on their lives and the lives of their families.

MATA Festival Webcast: Composer/Performers
Live from (Le) Poisson Rouge: Wednesday, May 11 at 7:30 pm
Monday, May 02, 2011
On Wednesday May 11 at 7:30 pm, Nadia Sirota hosts an evening chock full of world premieres from young composer-performers live from (Le) Poisson Rouge, home of the 2011 installment of the landmark new-music commissioning series, MATA Festival. The show features performances from Corey Dargel and Dither Electric Guitar Quartet, Angélica Negrón and Cantori NY, Chris Danforth with Jeff Bina, and French-born bassist, Florent Ghys, and includes on-stage interviews with the composers themselves.
Begun in 1996 by Philip Glass, Eleonor Sandresky and Lisa Bielawa, MATA has become a mainstay of New York City's spring musical offerings, allowing a multi-evening opportunity for emerging composers to work with adventurous, flexible ensembles as well as audiences to discover new strands in contemporary classical music. In addition to the actual concerts, MATA provides compositional workshops with established composers and community-building events to foster momentum and future collaborations.
The 2011 MATA Festival residency at (Le) Poisson Rouge spans three nights, with May 10 being devoted to New York-based ACME joining forces with the Italian group l'arsenale for music spanning eight composers and seven countries. Metropolis Ensemble closes out the festival on May 12 with works ranging from Brad Balliett and Elliot Cole's hip-hopera, The Rake, to pieces from Chilean-born, 20-year old Remmy Canedo and New York's own Ryan Carter.
Help Q2 live Tweet this show and others MATA events, whether you're at (L)PR or at home in the U.S. or abroad, by using #MATA2011.
All shows are being recorded by Q2 for on-demand streaming on wqxr.org. The May 11 live Webcast audio will be available the following day at the top of this page.

Disclaimer:� This piece is in no way trying to infringe upon anyone's personal freedoms or rights on whether or not you should wear a helmet.� In fact, if you feel adamant about never wearing a helmet, I fully support your freedom of choice.� More power to you!
With that said…
I don't like wearing my bicycle helmet.��� It can look clunky and feel so uncool at times. But…
In 2009, 51,000 bicycle riders were injured in traffic accidents.� In a 2008 study, of 700+ noted bicyclist deaths, 91% of them did not have a helmet on.
91% seems to be a big percentage and I don't like what appears to be a correlation.� Though, to be honest, various recent studies buck the idea that helmet use (or non-use) contributes, one way or the other to being safer.
But be it as it may, it seems to me that some of these numbers sat it just might be a bit safer to wear a helmet.
~ ~ ~
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says that wearing helmets can reduce the risk of head injuries by 85 percent. Those are the kind of stats I like to see because I'm not feeling as such the fool about wearing my helmet.� They additionally report that brain injury potential is reduced by 88% when wearing a helmet.� They also indicated that 75% of fatalities amongst children riders could have been averted if they had been wearing helmets.� (That's so sad)
Despite the fact that "it can't happen to you," there seems to be a chance, since it happens to someone, that it could be you.� A tiny chance, but it's there.� I'm sure of the 700 dead folks back in 2008, they were probably thinking "it won't happen to me."� But for me, I'm fine with most riders who are cruising along enjoying the wind in their hair.� Twice in the last few years I've charged out the door and cruised for a few yards before I realized I didn't have a helmet on!� And it sure was nice.
I do think it's crazy to see helmetless riders in traffic lanes between and playing with cars, splitting lanes.� That, is exactly when I think you should be wearing a helmet.� I'm a crazy rider.� I'm always hopping curbs and cutting corners and hitting near surface street speeds at times.� I definitely need a helmet.
If you think about it, wearing a bicycle helmet isn't just about you.� You have to ponder the impact that one of those events that "can't happen to you" will have on your friends and family.� Meaning if you do get in an accident, have you thought about what your family would have to deal with if that happened?� I'm just saying…
The stats are scary looking if you dwell on them and to be honest, I am not a friend of my bicycle helmet.� But if I do get plunked by a car being operated by a dill-weed, and you know many people drive like dill-weeds out there, I get nervous about the idea of not wearing a helmet.
Heck, I came within inches of a Ford F-150 just the other night.� Or don't forget the moron who backs out of their driveway, NOT looking both ways.� Or the woman who almost hit me head on, while I was packed up against the curb on my own side of the street.� Or most recently, the woman who saw me, but still turned right into me, forcing me into the curb and getting a tire scrub mark on my left shoe.
So yea, I've had a few close calls of late and one bad accident that to this day, I just don't know how I didn't crack open my head.� Though I didn't hit my head, I still had a concussion from stopping so fast.� And, in those days, "It couldn't happen to me" became a very moot point, because it was happening to me.� Huh, go figure!
~ ~ ~
In closing… sure, bicycle helmets are annoying. They're not fashion statements.� But like auto insurance, it seems like a waste until you really need it.� But that means wearing your helmet on your head, buckled.� Not hanging on your handlebars, not dangling unbuckled, etc., etc..
So be careful gang… that's really all I'm trying to say.

I share your confusion. Over the years I've seen and known a lot of guys like that. Some of them were "chick magnets". Though I don't generally judge other people, I've never really wanted to hang with that style. As I said, I'm confused about it, too. It's never occured to me to act like a female.
Humans are not all alike. We are complicated beings. Most transvestites actually prefer women for sex partners. Just because a guy is effeninate doesn't mean he is gay.

Same goes for women. I have had a girlfriend or two who was bigger and stronger than me. ..and I am 6'1" and 210 lbs. Girls looked like Amazons but were only interested in men.
I'm starting to get old now, but even ten years ago, I never met a woman stronger than me. If there was one, she was a freak. I used to press 320lbs, wrestled, boxed, karate, surfed, climbed, yoga, push-ups, sit-ups, and long distant running. 5' 10" 170lbs. There was no woman stronger than me, and if there were one, there is no way she could beat me in a wrestle. I always wanted to try out one of those wieght lifter women. Never got the chance.
You've never heard of a lesbian? Femininity is not related to sexual attraction. There are masculine homosexuals and feminine heterosexuals. And mannerisms are not ba<x>sed on sex, the whole concept of "femininity" is sexist in the first place.
hmm i never out people but my poor brother was raised with three older sisters and of course my mother

my father was in th oil industry and away from home alot

Consequently he has mannerisms and thoughts that are patently female but hes a healthy happy hetrosexual male
