Among the more than 1,000 objects on display in "Stanley Kubrick" -- a massive exhibition devoted to the legendary filmmaker that opens Thursday at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art -- the piece that perhaps best captures the director's singular style isn't related to cinema at all.
Tucked away in the middle of the show, and encased in a transparent box as if it were a scientific specimen, is Kubrick's personal chessboard set.
It's an easy item to overlook amid the exhibition's encyclopedic aggregation of documents, photographs and on-set material -- almost all of which comes from Kubrick's personal archives in England. Chess was a favorite pastime of the late director, who was sometimes seen absorbed in a match between takes on a set.
But chess was much more than just a game for Kubrick. In many ways, the aesthetics of chess -- logistical precision, total mental control and a cold emotional detachment -- matched the director's artistic sensibility.
The LACMA exhibition, which runs through June, marks the first time that a museum show devoted to Kubrick will be seen in the U.S. The show, which debuted in Frankfurt, Germany, in 2004, is a continuation of LACMA's recent effort to make cinema a key part of its curatorial mission. (The museum hosted a Tim Burton exhibition last year.)
The idea to bring the show to L.A. came in large part from Terry Semel, a former Warner Bros. executive and current co-chairman of the LACMA Board of Trustees. The studio worked with Kubrick for nearly three decades, starting with "A Clockwork Orange" in 1971 and ending with "Eyes Wide Shut," released four months after Kubrick's death in 1999, at age 70.
Semel said he lobbied LACMA President Michael Govan to host the exhibition. "To some degree, I've been a pain," Semel said in an interview. "I saw the show in Europe. I thought it was nice but it could be delivered in a more exciting way. I kept saying to Michael that in our generation, Kubrick would be the person we would want to know more about and see more about."
The museum is co-presenting the show with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which is providing some of the financing. It is the first formal collaboration between the two institutions since their announcement of a new academy museum to be built on the LACMA campus, set to open in 2016.
An academy spokeswoman said LACMA was already planning the Kubrick show when the academy joined as a co-presenter. She added that the two organizations are in talks to form a multiyear partnership to present film-related exhibitions at the museum.
For the Kubrick show's U.S. debut, LACMA has reconfigured the layout of the previous exhibition, adding a new video montage of his movies as well as some new archival material. The most significant change is an emphasis on Kubrick as a visual artist, with his films placed in the context of an art museum.
The exhibition highlights scenes in his movies that were directly influenced by works of art -- the spectral twins in "The Shining" that were inspired by the photographs of Diane Arbus, and numerous shots in "Barry Lyndon" that were based directly on 18th century paintings by Thomas Gainsborough, William Hogarth, George Stubbs and others.
On display is a collection of lenses that belonged to Kubrick, who started his career as a still photographer in New York. A section of the exhibition is devoted to his early work for Look magazine, for which he shot sporting events, cityscapes, musicians and celebrities. There's even a scrapbook created by Kubrick's mother, Gertrude, devoted to her son's journalistic accomplishments.
A supreme example of a studio auteur, Kubrick developed a signature visual style and exercised complete control over his movies. As Semel recalled, "We would never say, 'Don't do this.' Stanley was the master, and from my standpoint, when there was something he wanted to do, 99.9% of the time, I thought it was terrific."
Objects in the show were pulled from about 800 boxes in which Kubrick stored material for his projects. Jan Harlan, the director's brother-in-law and executive producer on many of his movies, oversaw the exhibition with the German Film Museum in Frankfurt.
"He never threw anything away," Harlan said in a phone interview from the Kubrick estate in Hertfordshire, England. "We only looked for things that are suitable for an exhibition and not private. What I find so satisfying is that people will realize how difficult it is to make a good film -- how much work it is."
The show has already traveled to multiple cities, including Paris; Rome; Brussels, Melbourne, Australia; and Amsterdam. Harlan acknowledged the irony of creating a museum exhibition devoted to one of the most private film directors in history. Kubrick famously shunned the media and virtually withdrew from public life after moving to England with his wife, Christiane, and their daughters in the late '60s.
"This could never have happened during his life," Harlan said. "But there is no question in my mind, or his wife's mind -- he didn't keep these boxes for someone to just throw away. There must have been an idea behind it."
The exhibition is organized mainly by movie and contains enough material to satisfy the most obsessive Kubrick-phile.
A random sampling: a call sheet for the filming of "Paths of Glory"; a letter from a church minister decrying the "degenerate" nature of "Lolita"; props from "A Clockwork Orange"; an elaborate card catalog containing research for his abandoned biopic "Napoleon"; an ax from "The Shining"; a treatment for his abandoned Holocaust movie, "The Aryan Papers"; the orgy masks from "Eyes Wide Shut."
LACMA hired film and TV production designer Patti Podesta to design the exhibition. "Kubrick's work is defined by the fact that each film is very different from the others," she said, adding that she designed the show with the intention of intensifying isolated moments from his movies.
Throughout the display, the museum has placed works of art that have close thematic ties to Kubrick's movies. The "2001: A Space Odyssey" section features a John McCracken plank that closely resembles the rectangular monoliths in the movie. (Despite popular belief, the late artist did not work on "2001.")
A Cold War-themed screen print by Robert Rauschenberg, "Stoned Moon Series: Sky Garden," is juxtaposed with items from "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb."
"I think the exhibition shows that artists do not work in a bubble. Filmmakers are looking at visual artists, and artists are looking at filmmakers," said Jarrett Gregory, a curator at LACMA who is overseeing the show.
Kubrick's perfectionism is the stuff of movie legend -- the obsession with technology, the numerous takes, the absolute control over all aspects of a movie. "Stanley was such an incredible perfectionist that he believed every frame of film should be sharp," said Douglas Trumbull, the visual effects artist who worked on "2001."
Many of those who knew Kubrick recalled a warmer, less intimidating man away from the set.
Matthew Modine, who played Pvt. Joker in "Full Metal Jacket," said Kubrick welcomed him into his home to watch films. "He wasn't more than a man who loved making movies, loved his family, his pets, and his friends. Kind of in that order," said the actor via e-mail. (Some of Modine's photographs from the "Full Metal Jacket" shoot are featured in the exhibition.)
"We watched movies one reel at a time and would discuss the film, digest them, while we spooled up the next reel," Modine said. "His theater wasn't fancy. Some old sofas, easy chairs, and his dogs farted a lot (he said it was the dogs...)."
Keir Dullea, who played astronaut David Bowman in "2001," said he never found Kubrick to be cold. "Yes, he was a perfectionist," the actor said by phone from Minneapolis, where he was working at the Guthrie Theater. "He was very quiet and he never raised his voice. He had a quiet sense of humor."
Semel, who has donated some of his personal photographs of Kubrick to the show, recalled that he developed a routine to accommodate the director's dislike of flying.
"He would call and say, 'I'm ready for you to come to London,'" said Semel, who ran Warner Bros. for more than 20 years with Robert Daly.
"It would usually be a day or two later that I arrived. It was usually the same hotel room. Stanley would call to make sure I was going to sleep early. Jan would show up early the next day and give me the script to read. I would read it and make notes, and then call Stanley to say I'm ready. And then we would spend as much time as it took at his house."
Those who knew Kubrick say that despite the cold nature of his movies, there was also a strain of wit throughout his body of work.
The exhibition features a quote from Kubrick -- the quote is in the show's main video montage -- that encapsulates that duality: "A satirist is someone who has a very skeptical view of human nature, but who still has the optimism to make some sort of a joke out of it. However brutal that joke might be."

'Si, se puede'
Activist continues to inspire after 50 years
NAME Dolores Huerta
OCCUPATION community organizer
KNOWN FOR co-founding the United Farm Workers union
LESS KNOWN FOR coining the phrase "Si, se puede!" and for her love of jazz, dancing and matchmaking
HOME BASE Bakersfield, California
When Dolores Huerta speaks to a packed classroom of teenagers at Clovis High School's Latino Forum in Clovis, Calif., she uses the word "we" 47 times. She talks about what "we" can fight for: more universities, fewer prisons in the area, and the legalization of undocumented farmworkers. She talks about how "all of us" can accomplish this: register voters, write to elected officials. Within 35 minutes, she's covered the history of farmworker policy in the West, argued that everyone should go to college, and encouraged Latina women to celebrate their dark skin. By the end of her talk, Huerta is wiping sweat from her face, her voice hoarse as she leads the clapping group to their feet to shout "Viva!" and "Si, se puede!" (yes, we can!) at the tops of their lungs.
Huerta, a petite 78-year-old with dark, fierce eyes, has inspired people to stand up for themselves for over 50 years. Though she says she was shy as a child growing up in Stockton, another city with many poor families and immigrants here in the San Joaquin Valley, today Huerta is bossy and quick to speak her mind.
"Disagree with me, it's OK. Tell me what you think," she urges the students. "It's why we go to school, right? To challenge things."
A former schoolteacher herself, Huerta quit her job in the mid-1950s to work as a union organizer for less than $5 a week, because she decided the best way to help her students was to make sure their parents made enough money to buy them food and new shoes.
To this end, she helped Cesar Chavez form the United Farm Workers, organizing strikes to obtain better wages and some of the first medical and pension benefits for workers in the history of U.S. agriculture. The UFW also fought to make growers stop using the pesticides DDT and Parathion. Today, the National Farm Workers Service Center, which Huerta helped create, provides 4,300 homes for farmworker families and sponsors nine Spanish radio stations throughout the West.
Huerta credits her mother, a divorced hotel and restaurant owner who fed and housed poor people throughout the Great Depression, for her own drive to help others. That drive, however, has come at a personal cost. Huerta's 11 children grew up traveling constantly, taking part in strikes from Arizona to New York and up and down the West Coast.
"We didn't sit around the dinner table like other families do. Time visiting with my mom was sitting in the car with her while she ran around to meetings," Huerta's 48-year-old daughter, Alicia, says. "My mother often says that just like working out, when your body feels sore, that's how life is. It can be uncomfortable, but if you know that's what you have to do to accomplish your goal, whatever it is, it's worth it."
At an age when most Americans are settling quietly into their golden years, Huerta is still at it. No knitting needles or RV parks for her: In 2003, she launched the Dolores Huerta Foundation, a nonprofit directed by her youngest daughter, Camila. To help fund the organization, which trains community organizers in the San Joaquin Valley, Huerta travels across the country to around 20 speaking engagements per month. In a typical week, she spends only two nights at home. Her ability to maintain such a pace is breathtaking -- even 32-year-old Camila says she can't keep up. Community organizing involves long hours and bad food, and people tend to burn out doing it. But Huerta says she has no intention of slowing down.
"When you organize people, when you bring them knowledge and hope, you raise their consciousness. They start learning about how to pressure politicians, and they see how they can make life better not only for themselves, but for others," she says, driving through the valley's inky night after yet another 11-hour day. Then Huerta does something rare for her: She mentions herself. "I love to see how this transforms people. I think it's so incredible."
The author, a former HCN associate editor, writes frequently about labor issues for national magazines.

There is a very nice saying " God gave us relatives, Thank God we choose our friends." I think Shobhaaji we have come to that crossroad where soceity is witnessing some sweet sour bitter memories of past and a wind of change in thinking and attitudes. I agree family rules still in some Indian culture esp where prosperity has taken the crown..but it is time for the daadisa and mama mia to alter some ground rules of the game. What do u think?

It took two weeks longer than anticipated but defensive tackle Christo Bilukidi is a member of the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Bengals attempted to sign Bilukidi on Nov. 4, but the contract was nullified by the league because Bilukidi, who is Canadian, didn't have the proper work permit to be employed in the United States.
Cincinnati had to look elsewhere and signed Kheeston Randall to fill their open roster spot.
Now that Bilukidi apparently has the proper credentials in place, the Bengals signed him to a deal on Wednesday and released Randall.
Bilukidi was a sixth round draft pick of the Oakland Raiders last year and appeared in 13 games before being released on Oct. 23. He has 13 tackles and a pass defense in his two seasons in the league.

Junior Forward Becomes Bulldogs' 34th Captain In Program's 39-Year History
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The Yale University women's basketball team announced Tuesday that junior forward Michelle Cashen has been named the captain for the upcoming 2011-12 season.
Cashen will serve as the 34th captain in the 39-year history of the women's basketball program at Yale University, as voted upon by her teammates. The 6-0 forward from Belle Harbor, N.Y., played in 27 of the Bulldogs' 29 games last season and was the team's leading rebounder (6.6 rpg.) and was fourth on the team in scoring (8.2 ppg.).
"I am truly honored and excited that I have been chosen as next year's captain," Cashen said. "In my time at Yale so far, I have been lucky to have had not only amazing captains to look up to, but also great senior leaders who have all set the standard of leadership on this team very high. The senior duo of Yoyo Greenfield and Mady Gobrecht, especially, were, in my eyes, exemplary leaders who both brought their own style to this role. It won't be easy, but I look forward to the challenge of filling the very large shoes they have left behind."
"Michelle has been an important player on the team ever since arriving at Yale," said Chris Gobrecht, the Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Women's Basketball. " This new responsibility of team captain will be a great chance for her to include leadership and motivation in her contributions to Yale's success next year. This should be a very good team and we will count on Michelle to take on an important role in our quest for the Ivy championship."
Cashen, who will graduate in May 2012 with a degree in Political Science with a concentration in Environmental Law and Policy, was a key contributor in one of the greatest seasons in Yale's history and helped lead the Bulldogs to their first-ever appearance in the Women's National Invitational Tournament. It was Yale's first postseason tournament appearance since 1979 and just the fourth postseason appearance overall.
The Bulldogs finished the 2010-11 season with a 14-15 overall record and a 10-4 finish in an Ivy League season that also included Yale's first sweep of Harvard since 1994. Four players earned All-Ivy honors last season, including Cashen, who earned All-Ivy Honorable Mention. Sophomore guard Megan Vasquez was named to the All-Ivy First Team, the first Bulldog to earn All-Ivy First Team honors since Melissa Colborne in 2008. Mady Gobrecht earned All-Ivy Second Team honors, the first All-Ivy honor of her career. Janna Graf was one of three freshmen to earn a unanimous selection onto the All-Ivy Rookie Team.
With everyone returning from that squad except for Greenfield and Mady Gobrecht, along with a strong incoming freshmen class, the expectations will be high for the 2011-12 season and the Bulldogs' new captain will be counted on to keep the Bulldogs on the path to success.
"As for next year, I believe this team holds tremendous talent and promise," Cashen said. "I think if we all work on our individual skills this summer in addition to becoming stronger, we will return in the fall ready to compete at that high level of play we experienced in the WNIT. We had a lot of success this past season and we are only looking to build on it."

|Docket Nos. RP11-1494-000 and RP11-1495-000
Statement of Chairman Jon Wellinghoff on
Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas Transmission LLC and Ozark Gas Transmission, L.L.C. Investigations
" A year ago this month, we initiated NGA Section 5 proceedings against several natural gas pipelines. Two of those proceedings have since resulted in uncontested settlements that provide significant benefits, such as reduced rates, reduced fuel retention factors, and, in one case, a revenue sharing arrangement with pipeline customers.
At the time the Commission initiated these investigations I stated that the Commission's mission statement is straightforward: to assist consumers in obtaining reliable, efficient and sustainable energy services at a reasonable cost. Consistent with that mission, Staff has continued to analyze and consider the Form 2 data that provides current market and cost information needed for regulatory oversight of natural gas pipeline rates and terms of service, and that facilitates meaningful assessments of pipeline costs of service and current rates.
After careful consideration of this information, it appears that Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas and Ozark Gas Transmission may be substantially over-recovering their cost-of-service. As a result, we are instituting section 5 proceedings to determine whether the rates charged by these pipelines are just and reasonable. The Commission understands that review of Form 2 data is not the full story, and must be considered in conjunction with other factors, such as the costs and risks of litigation, the level of infrastructure investments, and the existence of a rate moratorium or come-back provision. However, an investigation will provide the Commission with the opportunity to hear the full story, and to ensure that consumers enjoy reliable, efficient and sustainable energy services at a reasonable cost.
Furthermore, because the Commission lacks refund authority under section 5, it is appropriate to expedite resolution of these proceedings. Therefore, we direct that an initial decision be issued within 47 weeks of the designation of a presiding judge, consistent with the ALJ's track II time frame for hearings. The expedited schedule is not intended to foreclose the pipeline, its customers and Commission litigation staff from reaching a reasonable settlement."

A Guide to the Austin City Limits Collection, 1987, 1991-2000
Historical Note
Austin City Limits, a television program of concert performances featuring uniquely American styles of music was founded in 1974 by PBS affiliate KLRN–TV (later KLRU–TV) in Austin and was carried by hundreds of stations nationwide. The program has showcased performers such as Jimmy Buffett, Rosanne Cash, Ray Charles, Leonard Cohen, B. B. King, Lyle Lovett, Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison, Bonnie Raitt, George Strait, and Tanya Tucker. The show's success was credited with contributing to the rise of several major country performers and coincided with the growing popularity of country music.
After losing Budweiser as an underwriter in 1990, Austin City Limits faced a declining PBS budget and network demands that the series raise more than a quarter of its own funding. Performers on the show have always been paid on a union scale. In 2003, advertising its content as "live music, pure and simple," the show was sponsored by such companies as Chevrolet and Michelob. By its nineteenth network season (1993), Austin City Limits was focusing less on mainstream country music and more on songwriters and the "new folk movement," and had introduced a variety of new formats to supplement its traditional stage-show settings.
Austin City Limits produced an enormously successful "Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan" in 1995, which featured B. B. King, Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, and others. The show also filmed a memorable tribute to Townes Van Zandt in late 1997 that included Willie Nelson, Guy Clark, Lyle Lovett, and Nanci Griffith. In 2000, after facing competition from other music programming on public television such as New York City's Sessions in West 54th, producers made the decision to offer Austin City Limits to PBS affiliates free of charge. By 2003 "Austin City Limits" was in its twenty-eighth season and had featured hundreds of artists performing in such genres as zydeco and Tejano, in addition to its foundation of folk–rock–country–bluegrass. Longtime producer and program director Terry Lickona had been with the show since the mid-1970s.

Every year that "Whoa!" moment comes and takes me by surprise for some odd reason. I should see that it's coming since it does every year, right? How is it that the first couple of weeks of Summer break always leave me scrambling?
Do I get grouchy about this from time to time? yes. There is quite a bit of industrious introvert in me who misses long quiet hours of progress that might come in the winter or fall. But my gosh, look at all the fun we are having. Fishing (I don't fish - I take pictures of my boys fishing, it's cute), hiking in the green green woods, doing kid crafts, eating popsicles, catching up with neighbors, and on and on. So, I shouldn't complain. What I should do is go with the flow and adjust accordingly. You can't hear it but I assure you that I am laughing out loud right now because I am not good at that 'going with the flow' thing at all.
This much I know - there are good good times ahead in the coming months. And maybe, just maybe, I might get one or two things done as well.

Battling My Most Recent Loss
Who knew that losing my driver's license would be such a life changing experience for me in LA? I remember (well ok I don't really remember!) but I have the psychologist reports that suggested I have my license reevaluated nearly 8 years ago due to my cognitive decline ... but I didn't really take them seriously ... I have the multiple speeding tickets and the fact that I imposed limitations on myself to stop driving late at night when I felt less safe behind the wheel due to my issues with visual spatial limitations and night vision. But still even when the young psychiatrist sat across from me in the hospital during my recent summertime 3 and 1/2 week inpatient stay and explained that they had reported me to the DMV for dementia, I had no clue as to the wretched impact that losing my license would have.
I was cavalier with the doctor. She was curt with me. She told me, "This is LA, hire a driver, everyone in LA has drivers". Did she forget that on my disability payments and my husband's teacher salary we were barely able to pay our bills let alone hire anyone to do anything? Did I really think that the not-so-fabulous LA metro and bus system was going to meet my needs for everyday transportation? Somehow I must have thought that this was all going to work out. Somehow I must have thought that taking 3 or 4 buses just to get to one single destination anywhere outside the radius of my immediate home was doable and made sense. Guess I can blame that on the dementia too and its effects of poor judgment and lack of rational thinking or increased impulsivity.
Don't get me wrong. The bus and metro system in LA works for some. In my opinion, it pales in comparison to NY or London or Washington, DC. It also depends where you live. We live in the San Fernando Valley, Earthquake Zone, not a great bus/metro zone. However, I met many people who use it faithfully. They seem to know how and why and can figure out multiple transfers and complicated time lines, routes, schedules; and many don't even speak English!
Eventually, I learned to face the facts. I am a certified bus riding idiot! This is not up for debate, after 6 months of trying to navigate the system it is a proven fact.
I am also a wimp. Call me crazy but spending half or all of my day on buses just to get to one half hour appointment is nothing short of infuriating to me. As I traverse the land from my seat inside the bus I watch out the window as many people zoom carefree down our LA roads, all with the power and magic I believe they hold in their hands -- the freedom to be behind the wheel, the freedom to simply drive to their destination, in full control of their pursuits. Yes I know they fight gridlock, mayhem and traffic bottlenecks.
I've even had friends say to me "Gee taking the bus doesn't seem so bad, I hate driving in LA" ... REALLY, REALLY???, oh my ... let's switch places for a few days, let's just try to reverse roles and see ... I'm a betting gal, I'll put money on the fact that your life with a license, with a vehicle, with the freedom, is tenfold better than mine on a bus ... hmm check yup lost that "friend" ... But I digress ...
Coming up with nifty solutions to try and move beyond the bus lines, the good folks at AIDS Project Los Angeles helped to hook me up with the paratransit transportation services for the disabled known as Access. Access has a fleet of rideshare transportation vehicles, vans, cars, taxis etc that you call for the night before and try to schedule for next day service to get to your destination. You pay a set fee based on distance and you literally share the ride with several other passengers and your times are not exact.
This is a much needed service and one I use for my doctor appointments primarily instead of trying to navigate 4 or 5 bus lines each way. You have to be "qualified" to ride Access. I had to go take a test (with real buses, ramps, people who gave you instructions, walked with you, wear a safety belt, had to follow instructions navigating a pretend route) to see if I passed and needed the service. I wasn't sure if I should be happy or sad that I passed and needed the service. I chose to be satisfied that I had a new option open to me.
However, I soon found that it is embarrassing to have them pull up curbside anywhere and pick me up. I have to walk up the metal ramp to enter the van, and hand the driver my Access ID.
Let me make this clear, I look GREAT for having AIDS after all these years. I look fat and healthy. It's been my downfall for years. I look so good it's hard for even me to believe sometimes I have a disease.
I know the Access drivers, even though they are trained otherwise, must be thinking," What the heck?" "What does she need this service for?" I can't even begin to imagine what the people on the outside think watching me enter or exit the Access van. To solve this dilemma, I started using a cane, not that I truly really needed it, but primarily so when I was traveling by bus or by Access I could at least have some sort of visible indication that there may be something wrong with me. The cane works! It's my crutch and even now months after becoming a more seasoned Access passenger, I still use it on days when I'm feeling especially vulnerable or in a self-loathing mood.
Access is like any other government-run public service; it's got severe limitations. More often than not I am either very early or very late coming or going for my appointments or getting home. The vehicles are crowded and being with other disabled persons is a reminder that life has somehow gone askew here in my world. It's even worse when my son has to ride with me. That's happened a few times. Since I don't have transportation then he doesn't have transportation unless my husband can take him and my husband is now doing all the driving, all the running around and all the carpooling. My son has learned to take the bus home from school but it's two buses, he has to wait in between, gets home late and I fear for his safety at times. It's not an ideal situation by any means.
I'm sharing all of this now because over the next few months I am trying really hard to get my doctors to sign off on my paperwork for the DMV to hold a hearing to consider reinstating my driver's license. It's the first step in the process just getting my doctors to sign off on the medical evaluation paperwork. My husband keeps reminding me that this is the first most important step to trying to get my life back here.
Apparently and for good reason I suppose, the DMV takes the issue of dementia really seriously. However, I do think that neurocognitive decline and AIDS dementia are not the same as other dementias and I shouldn't be put in the same category as ailing, aging adults. I'm sorry but in my opinion there should be levels and degrees and provisions made for people who have some deficits in slower visual spatial processing rather than a rush to judgment to take away their license to drive at 43 years of age, thereby robbing them of their independence and their freedom.
It's not a inconvenience for me to not have my license; it's a major disaster. I've become a recluse. If it wasn't for my husband or my best friend I wouldn't get anywhere except when I am brave enough to tackle the bus or Access. I've tried both. I've done my part. I've kept my sense of humor along the way. I even learned Spanish a little better and have tried to smile along the way each and every time I have to ride.
Hindsight is always 20/20. I'm sorry I was cavalier with that doctor in the hospital. It must have been all the meds they were giving me. I wasn't myself or maybe I was and I thought it would all work out. Either way, dementia or no dementia, neurocognitive decline or no neurocognitive decline, I need, I want, I beg, I plead for my driver's license back so that I can once again be in that crazy LA traffic, I want to be stuck in gridlock, bumper to bumper with anticipation and dread ... so that I can feel alive and just a little more whole!
I'll keep you posted as this battle is ongoing and I don't expect that there will be a speedy resolution. I'm no pollyanna but I am a believer!

Climate change: Progress report shows EU on track to meet or over-achieve Kyoto emissions target
The EU is on track to deliver on its Kyoto Protocol commitments for reducing or limiting emissions of greenhouse gases, the Commission's annual progress report on emissions shows. The latest projections indicate that the EU-15 will meet its 8% reduction target under Kyoto; 10 of the 12 remaining Member States of the EU have also individual commitments under the protocol. It is projected that they will reduce their emissions to 6 or 8% below base year levels. This will be achieved through a combination of policies and measures already taken, the purchase of emission credits from projects in third countries, the acquisition of allowances and credits by participants in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), and forestry activities that absorb carbon from the atmosphere.
Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas said: "These projections further cement the EU's leadership in delivering on our international commitments to combat climate change. They show the EU-15 is well on track to meet its Kyoto target for 2008-2012. And with the EU climate and energy package adopted earlier this year we have already put in place the key measures to reduce our emissions much further to at least 20% below 1990 levels by 2020. No other region of the world has yet done this. But a 20% cut is not enough to prevent dangerous climate change, and that is why the EU has pledged to scale up our reduction to 30% provided other major emitters contribute their fair share to an ambitious global climate agreement in December in Copenhagen. It is crucial that our partners in the industrialised world and the big emerging economies live up to their responsibilities."
Kyoto commitments
Under the Kyoto Protocol, the 15 countries which were EU member states when the Protocol was agreed (the EU-15) are committed to reducing their collective greenhouse gas emissions in the period 2008-2012 to 8% below levels in a chosen base year (1990 in most cases). This collective commitment has been translated into differentiated national emission targets for each EU-15 member state which are binding under EU law.
There is no collective target for EU-27 emissions. Ten of the twelve member states which joined the EU in 2004 and 2007 have individual commitments under the Protocol to reduce their emissions to 6% or 8% below base year levels by 2008-2012. Only Cyprus and Malta have no emission target.
Projections for EU-15 and EU-27
As announced in May (see IP/09/851 ), EU-15 greenhouse gas emissions in 2007 - the latest year for which full data are available – were 5.0% lower than base year levels. This contrasted with economic growth of around 44% over the same period. For the EU-27 as a whole, emissions fell by 12.5% between the base year and 2007.
Additionally, the European Environment Agency estimates that in 2008 emissions from the EU-15 member states fell further, to 6.2% below their levels in the base year . EU-27 emissions are now estimated to be 13.6% lower than the base year level.
The Commission's progress report, 1 based on the latest projections 2 by member states, shows that existing policies and measures – those already implemented – are expected to reduce EU-15 emissions to 6.9% below base year levels in the commitment period 2008-2012.
Plans by 10 of the EU-15 member states to buy credits from emission-saving projects carried out in third countries under Kyoto's three market-based mechanisms – international emissions trading, the Clean Development Mechanism and the Joint Implementation instrument - would bring a further reduction of 2.2%.This would take the overall reduction to around 9.0% 3 and thus over-deliver on the EU's Kyoto commitment. Acquisition of allowances and credits by EU ETS operators is expected to deliver a further 1.4% reduction.
Planned afforestation and reforestation activities, which create biological 'sinks' that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, would contribute an additional cut of 1.0%.
Additional policies and measures under discussion would, if fully implemented, bring further cuts of up to 1.6%. This would take the overall reduction to around 13.1%, 3 giving a broad safety margin for achieving the 8% reduction target.
All ten EU-12 member states that have a Kyoto target are projected to meet or over-achieve their Kyoto commitments.
Current uncertainty over the duration and severity of the economic recession, and thus its impact on emissions, could lead to the revision of projections in future once the outlook becomes clearer. Additionally, the projections of some member states may understate future emission reductions as they do not yet take account of the EU climate and energy package adopted earlier this year (see IP/09/628 ).
Furthermore, the methodology used to estimate the EU ETS effect needs further improvement. Robust and consistent methodologies and assumptions are needed in order to more accurately project the EU ETS effect.
GHG emission projections need to be considered in the perspective of the effective reductions already achieved, which amounted to -9% for the EU-27 and -4% for the EU-15 between 1990 and 2007. Therefore, reduction efforts will need to accelerate substantially across the EU in the future if it is to meet its -20% or -30% target by 2020.

Rounded value
As a majority of EU-12 Member States did not submit differentiated emission projections for the ETS and the non-ETS sectors, they are not included in the table.

Willy Axton of Costa Mesa won both the OC Fair "Challenge in the Dirt" race as well as the Orange County Grand Prix, held in the West lot at the Orange County Fairgrounds.
The dirt event was held in the Speedway Action Sports Arena during the opening weekend of the OC Fair in July. The Grand Prix was two weeks ago.
Of the six people eligible to double up at both events Axton was the only competitor to do so. He was victorious in the junior class at both events. The 11-year-old moved up early this season into the junior class, a class for competitors ages 13 to 16 years old.
Axton is a sixth-grader at Kaiser Elementary in Costa Mesa.
"I'm proud to represent my hometown at these races that were held in our own backyard," Axton said. "I look forward to defending my title at next year's events."
Axton competes in a 125cc go-kart that is capable of speeds over 90 mph. In his first year as a junior, Axton has captured second place in the Pro-Kart South Regional Championship, one of the most competitive series in the country.
With a good finish in the upcoming Grange Motor Circuit he will also capture second place in the International Karting Federation Western Regional Championship, also a huge accomplishment for an 11-year-old, sixth-grader racing with high school kids.
"I would also like to extend a sincere thank you to my coaches, team, sponsors, friends and family, and especially mom and dad," Axton said. "Without the help of these people I would not have had the success or opportunities I have had this year."

Seahawks thump Barons
The Newport Mesa Jr. All American Jr. Midget Seahawks were victorious over the Fountain Valley Barons, 35-6.
Defense was key in the win with two fumble recoveries by Jack Genova. Strong Safety Sutty Barbato made multiple tackles as did Toni Vasi, Connor Brazeel, Roman Hays and Derek Mathuny.
The offensive attack on the ground was led by Anthony Battista, who had 14 carries for 150 yards and two touchdowns.
Wide receiver William Hunter had two touchdown grabs with one on fourth down with the ball on the 35. Hunter also converted four extra points.
Peter Bush and Jason Simaan made several completions with Simaan also running in for a rushing touchdown.
The offensive line of Mickey Quinn, Dean Ames, Kobe Benter and Karl Donovan allowed quarterback Stephen Von Der Ahe time to complete 10 of 13 passes for 170 yards.

LOUIS VUITTON TRIANGLE SOFTY BAGCategories:Louis Vuitton
Recently, there's a hobo trend going on at the house of Louis Vuitton, but we also need to say that their hobo's are getting prettier and lovelier. Remember the Louis Vuitton Tuileries Hobo Bag, another hit in the fashion world. But now let's introduce the latest Louis Vuitton Triangle Softy Bag, just launched for the Spring Summer 2017 Collection. This bag is inspired by Nicolas Ghesquiere's search for the essence of Parisian elegance; this piece is a statement maker.
What we've seen Louis Vuiton doing more these days, is transforming normal handles in braided handles. This new design looks modern and fabulous; it creates and interesting touch to its overall appearance. The body features the house's iconic monogram canvas and the modern monogram reversed canvas. The bottom edges are refined with black leather and golden studs for an urban look. And we've to say that the black leather on the handles, on the sides of the zip and the corners do enhance the golden hardware that has been embellished around the bag. It just shines.
The bag is made with double-faced construction, if you look closely, there is a zip option on the top, but there is also a zipper on the side. The side zipper opens another small pocket for your instant-essentials, and although it looks stunning, the side zip might be not so practical for security reason.
Here are the details:
Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Triangle Softy Bag
Size: 17.7' x 12' x 6.3' inches
Prices: $2540 USD, €1880 euro, £1750 GBP, $3200 CAD, $21700 HKD, $3350 AUD, ¥308880 JPY

Eric(friend of mine) and I were talking and he suddenly outta nowhere comes up with a CO2 combustion engine. No CO2 doesnt combust but he meant running CO2 through the engine with an air compressor. I came up with this idea and I dont just randomly have an old engine laying around or an air compressor so I told him Id ask here:
Lets say one chamber area(where the valves and piston are) has a pressure rating of 100PSI but normally with a compresser the air runs through at 14.8 PSI. Now connect the exhaust valve to the entrance valve. If you added a small computer fan in front of the entrance valve and then pumped in enough air to fill up twice the volume of the chamber it should keep moving after the pistons get going. Now you have constant pressure and a fan to move the air.
Thats just a 30 second brain blast. He wants to do this with a lawn mower engine. My theory is acting like the engine is air tight with a constant flow of air. I was also thinking that the fan might not really work to well since if the pistons arent sealing by even the smallest bit the air will just cycle through. My terminology might not be right either but Im still learning so please forgive me.
Can this be done?
If not why wont it work?
How can he make it work if its possible?
Thanks for the help

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)
You have probably heard these lines before, but in case you didn't read the Cliff Notes along with your assigned high school reading of this scene, Juliet is pining away, after meeting Romeo and learning he's a Montague. The Montague's are family rivals to Juliet's Capulet clan. Juliet muses that although her newly beloved is a Montague, what matters is who he is, and not what he is called. Ah, love.
We all know this is true. What matters is the person you are and not the name you are given. Unless, of course, you are a young boy with a spanish sounding name, growing up in a largely white, suburban neighborhood, like my husband, Juan Rafael. Or Juan. Or Ralph. Yes, Ralph. He became Ralph when he was in first grade and the nuns at St. Hedwig couldn't say Juan Rafael. Now, with a name like St. Hedwig, why the nuns felt compelled to give Juan a more English sounding name is beyond me.
Juan Rafael is a beautiful name, and sounds especially nice when it's said with a Spanish accent. But, when my husband was growing up in the 70's and the nuns at his Catholic elementary school couldn't pronounce his name, they asked him to for the english equivalent. He told them Juan was John, and Rafael was Ralph. They nuns decided to call him Ralph. He was Ralph all though elementary and high school. Even his Colombian family called him Ralph. When he got to college Ralph took back his name and became Juan. He also changed his political party, joined MECHA and became active in politics, but that's another story.
So, when I was pregnant with our child, and Juan and I learned it was a boy, we began to consider names. We knew we wanted something that would translate to Spanish, but we had a hard time agreeing on anything. Then, we recalled where our son was conceived–in Acapulco, Mexico, during a celebratory wedding weekend for some family friends. The groom was named Diego. Diego. It was perfect. Not too ordinary. No tricky spanish pronunciation, but a name that translated to Spanish. We announced to my family our intention of naming our son the Spanish equivalent of James. My dad, Jesus, loved the name we'd chosen. My dad, whose name is a popular choice among latinos, and who probably fought his own demons because of his moniker, thought Diego was a perfect choice for his only grandson who would be born of two latino parents. But then again, my father, who has a strong sense of pride in our own Mexican culture, would have been happy if Juan and I named our son after the Aztec ruler, Cuahtemoc. My mother wasn't too sure of our choice. She asked me, "You're really going to name him Diego?" Yes, I really am.
When our son was born, he did not look like a "Diego." He looked like, well, a red, squishy faced, hairy little monkey. One day I sat down to nurse my little monkey and turned on the TV. As I changed channels I came across Nickelodeon TV and I I saw this:
What? A kid's show with a little brown-skinned explorer boy with jungle animals as his friends, named Diego? The show was "Go Diego Go." It was kind of cute, but still obnoxious enough that I suddenly began to doubt my choice of moniker for my little monkey. How often would he be teased about his name? Would the theme song follow him onto the school yard and beyond? Luckily, I had been living under a rock and didn't realize how popular the show was. It was a favorite among the pre-school set. By the time Diego entered pre-school, the name had a certain cache to it. My mother even came around, and told me that Diego's name suited him perfectly.
I felt very pleased with myself about the name we had chosen. I even celebrated it when I planned his 3rd birthday party with a Go Diego Go theme.
One day, not long after Diego entered kindergarten he came home telling me about the friends he'd made. There was Ben, Ethan, Chris, Matt and a little boy with a biblical name, Oshea. Diego asked me why couldn't he be named something else. Something more simple. Why couldn't he be called Ben or, even better, Oshea? Sigh.

Open Letter To The Sioux Falls School Board
Dear Kurt, Carly, Doug, Kate, and Todd,
Starting with a positive is always best. As a board you have done good work setting up the more advanced learning opportunities at Southeast, Career, and Tech Academy. Your leadership on bringing Chromebooks and Common Core into the curriculum is also appreciated.
Now the negative. The Mark Twain decision is going to come back and bite. It is a debacle. I do not use the term lightly, or in jest. Your decision making process and ability to discern is being criticized. Community support is critical to your success and therefore the success of our students. You have ignored that important reality.
Neighborhoods hold a community together. Most of them derive their sense of belonging from the school down the street. That sense of belonging is critical to the attitude people have about where they live and their city. Closing Longfellow and Jefferson was understandable in the context of demographics and efficiency. Those folks are sad, hurt, and some are angry. Two neighborhoods forever changed.
Why did you choose to alienate a third? Clearly you had the authority. But, equally as clear, you shouldn't have abused that authority. It was neither necessary, prudent nor smart. To some, your decision was made out of either ignorance or arrogance. Two words which should not be associated with folks in charge of molding young minds.
Susan B. Anthony is a wonderful name for an elementary school. It should be placed on the next elementary school in a neighborhood which does not currently have one.
As a former elected official, I know it is hard to admit a mistake.
Here is the good news. You can change your mind, and you should. You will sleep better. The folks who voted for you will quickly accept your apology and have more trust in your future deliberations and decisions. A win for all of us, especially the children we have entrusted to you.
Call a meeting, eat some humble pie, apologize, change the vote, and move on. It is the right thing to do for the community and more importantly, it will send a good message to the children.
Rick W. Knobe

This weekend we got an amazing 30cm (12 inches) of snow.
Our car has had an history (once) of stalling at a red light, with no contact when trying to start it again. We have a Mazda 3 2004, and these cars have a defect that allows people to punch the door and get in. People broke into it last month. 3 years ago we had an accident with it, had to replace full bumper, right wing?, radiator, wiring. We're changing the car, we had a choice to pick it up on Friday or Tuesday. We chose Tuesday, since the new car will come with 4 season tires, and those just won't cut it in 12 inches of snow.
So, we went snowboarding, at Mont Tremblant, (2 hours away from home). We left around 2:30, to arrive in time to let Jessie out.
We stopped to pee at Harvey's, 30 minutes away from the mountain.
We parked, peed. The car never started again. It wasn't the battery, we had radio and lights. We called CAA (AAA equivalent) and waited, waited... I was completely freaking out because I had 2 exams today and wanted to review my stuff, and Jessie was holding it!!!!!!!!!!! The only bus going home was coming at a whooping 8:45pm, we even asked people in the Harvey's if they were going to town, nope. I considered hitch hiking but you never know how long that's going to take anyway...
At 7:30pm, CAA toeing truck arrived. Of course we called elsewhere, but no toeings on Sunday nights! The guy was so nice, he managed to fix the car (it was only a solenoid??? that was misplaced under the car) and we were able to go home...
Jessie had to hold it 13.5 hours. I cried out of frustration.
No one else has my house keys, since when our car was broken in 1 month ago they took house keys and we changed the locks. I tried to reach people who could maybe have forced a window or something, but no one answered, even their stupid cell phones.
Let me tell you that I ran to the damn door to let her out, just grabbed her collar and took her out. Poor girl, she actually held it the whole time! I only wish she wasn't so clean and had just done it on the floor instead.
On the upside, we managed to get home at least. Jessie was more than happy to see us.

Journey ends for Charlie Stagg
Artist Charles Stagg lived for art. In fact, he lived "inside" his artwork. Since the early 1980s, Stagg worked and lived in a house-sized sculpture in Southeast Texas. Over the course of 30 years, he built a unique home out of cement, wood, cans and bottles on his family's land off Main Street in the woods of Vidor. He filled the structure with twisting, DNA-like wooden sculptures made from the trees on the property. Stagg called the house, never meant to be finished, "a process" or "a journey."
On Monday, Feb. 20, that journey came to an end. Stagg, 72, died at a Galveston hospital after a long illness.
Raised in Vidor, Stagg graduated high school, joined the Army, toured the world and finally received art degrees from Baylor University and the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Pennsylvania.
In 1981, he moved back home to Vidor to begin his life's work — the "A.V. Stagg Art and WildLIFE Preserve," named after his mother. The name did not mean that the property preserved native wildlife, but rather was a safe place for Stagg to pursue his life in the "wild."
The structure started as a place to live: rooms made of found materials and created with his own hands. One cement room featured a half-domed wall made entirely out of discarded green glass bottles.
"It was like looking at stained glass," said friend John Fulbright, "It was amazing."
Stagg said of the genesis of his work with recycled and found materials, "I found myself gravitating to wanting to know how to build ... and the deep meaning of sculpture. (Sculpture) relates to everyone in the form of architecture. I look at present-day architecture as 'sculpture gone bad,' because so much of it is so inefficient. I can only express (how I feel) by just doing this."
Over the years, the Preserve evolved into an inter-connected compound of organic, ever-changing environments that featured tall towers, masses of wooden stick-sculptures, windows made from discarded traffic lights, shelving units/windows made from glass pickle jars, all housing a cat, various dogs and a herd of goats.
Committing to a life without running water, electricity or conventional comforts was not a simple situation for Stagg, and it could be fraught with dangers. In the summer of 2006, the majority of his living structure burned to the ground. After an extensive cleanup, Stagg started to rebuild using discarded drink cans and concrete. When asked why he chose not to use wood, Stagg replied, "Cans don't burn."
While his neighbors considered him a quirky oddity or an eccentric friend, the art community in Southeast Texas and around the world embraced Stagg and his work. Film crews, authors and curious art enthusiasts from Kansas, Canada, Germany and throughout Texas made their way to Vidor to trek back into the woods to take in an odd artist who insisted on forging his own path in his own way.
"The thing that hits me the most is that we've lost a local living treasure," said Lynn Castle, executive director of the Art Museum of Southeast Texas in Beaumont, where several of Stagg's twisting pine sculptures are on exhibit. "He was nationally important. People came from all over to see and record his work."He lived his art. It was a way of life."
Stagg's family has arranged for a memorial service at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 3, at First Baptist Church, 350 N. Main St., Vidor.

"I hate them. I hate them all."
That, my friends, is your introduction to the most beautiful 17-year-old girl you've ever seen. You will know her henceforth as The Girl, a pseudonym that I hope gives her a modicum of anonymity. She knows me as Mom.
And what transformed this usually rational young lady into a drama queen came in the mail yesterday. I have two words for you:
Senior pictures.
"That one I can sort of stand," she points to a pretty pose that depicts her seated on a bench. "But I look fat!"
I assured her that she does not look fat. (And she doesn't.) Then we perused the various poses.
Senior pictures have changed a lot since I posed for mine in — well, never mind when. Our hometown photographer gave us a neat stack of wallet-sized proofs from which my parents and I selected what we wanted. The packet The Girl received had two big sheets — one with formal shots, the other with casual.
"I don't like that green screen," I said, pointing to the bottom row.
Apparently, that green screen gives us a choice of backgrounds to put that pose on. We can, for example, have The Girl hanging out on the beach. Not Rockwood Beach — the kind with sharks somewhere in its waters.
We could, if we so choose, have her with her back to a graffati'ed brick wall. Or with a serene wooden bridge surrounded by greenery. There are apparently more choices on the photographer's website, which we have yet to inspect.
What is also left to inspect is the price list. That's when I'll have my own dramatic moment.
