Josh Homme's Beats 1 radio show, Alligator Hour, is set to return next week for its third season, it has been announced.
The Queens Of The Stone Age frontman began hosting the show in 2015, shortly after Beats 1 was launched alongside Apple Music.
Over its two seasons so far, the programme has seen Homme play mixes of his favourite music and chat with guests including Alex Turner, Fred Armisen, Brody Dalle, Savages, Iggy Pop, and more.
In a tweet posted to the official QOTSA Twitter page, Alligator Hour's return for a third season was confirmed earlier today (September 4). It revealed new episodes will air between Monday and Thursday (September 10-13) at 6pm BST.
Joshua is back on @Beats1 for a third season of the #AlligatorHour! ? Hear new episodes next Monday – Thursday: 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM BST. https://t.co/NCLsDU7Uik pic.twitter.com/jM33ujzydx
— QOTSA (@qotsa) September 4, 2018
Meanwhile, in a recent interview, the musician recalled "getting his ass kicked" by homophobes for defending his brother. "My brother Jason is gay, and at an early age I grew a dislike for bullies," said Homme. "Jason is two years older than me but I am bigger and always took on a protective role.
"I got my ass kicked a number of times and I was always proud to do it when it was in defence of our family name."
He also discussed his relationship with his wife, The Distillers' frontwoman Brody Dalle, calling her his "punk-rock dream girl." "I always thought if I could go out with a chick with a mohawk who also read philosophy, I'd be winning," he said. "Brody is the real deal. She does everything the boys can do and a whole slew of things no boy ever could."
Homme made headlines last year when he kicked a photographer at the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas show in Inglewood, California. On December 9, the frontman kicked a camera from the photographer's hands, which then hit her in the face and left her requiring medical care in hospital.
In the immediate aftermath of the incident, Homme released an apology video, admitting that he had been a "total dick" and saying that he had "to figure some stuff out."

Pope Francis enraged many of his most ardent fans with these comments:
Speaking Wednesday at his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square, the pontiff put it rather bluntly: "Not having children is a selfish choice."
"Life rejuvenates and brings multiplying energy: It enriches, it does not impoverish," said Francis, speaking during the audience on the role of children in the family.
"A society stingy in generation, that does not love to surround itself in children, that considers them overall a worry, a weight, a risk, is a depressed society," said the pope.
The pope has been using his general audience in recent weeks to reflect on various roles in the family, leading up to October's global meeting of Catholic bishops at the Vatican on the issue of contemporary struggles in family life.
Francis made his remarks about the need to have children in a brief aside during his talk Wednesday about the low level of birthrates in European countries.
"Let's think of many societies that we know here in Europe," said the pope. "They are depressed societies because they do not want children, they do not have children. The level of birth does not arrive at one percent."
"Why?" the pontiff asked. "Everyone of us, think and respond."
"The generation of children has to be responsible, as is taught also in the encyclical Humanae Vitae of Blessed Paul VI," he continued, referring to the 1968 papal teaching that prohibits use of contraception by Catholics.
"But to have more children cannot become automatically an irresponsible choice," said Francis. "Not having children is a selfish choice."
Go here to read the rest. The comments of the readers of The National Catholic Reporter are hilarious, an indication of how popular kids are on the Left, at least when Leftists are talking about kids they have themselves, rather than brainwashing the kids of other parents. Needless to say PopeWatch believes the Pope's comments are directly on target. Comparing this with his rabbit comment of a few weeks ago demonstrates how difficult Pope Francis, and his pontificate, are to figure out.

This is a different configuration of the 70W PPP amp built earlier. The basic audio design will be basically the same, but there is only one choice of feedback: 12dB. It will also incorporate an Arduino microcontroller as in Ben's Unnecessarily Complicated UC6550 amplifier. I have attempted to make this one simpler, with a bit of success.
Below are the published curves for KT90's strapped in triode mode. Note that the Ia+g2 axis is doubled for a PAIR of tubes. I have about 500V available from my power transformer, so will use Ia = 130ma. This gives about 32.5W (500 * .065) of dissipation per tube, well under the max of 42W. This operating point is indicated by the red dot. The output transformer has anode-to-anode resistance (Ra-a) of 3.3K.
Looking at the curves, class A operation is marked by the blue line with RL= 1.65K (1/2 of 3.3K). Class B operation (purple line) represents RL= .825K (1/4 of 3.3K)
Class A1 operation: P = ΔIa2/2 * Ra-a = .132/2 * 3300 = 28W
Class AB operation: P = (2*ΔV)2/2 * Ra-a = (2*(500-140))2/2 * 3300 = 79W
These numbers are unrealistic in real life. In actual measurements, there is no way this amp will make that much power before ridiculous distortion.
Feedback reduces Vin as follows: FB = 20log(Vin/Vgk). So in this case, with FB=12dB and Vi=1.4Vrms,
Vgk = .35Vrms
From above curves (look at the red dot), the grid voltage required by the KT90 power tubes to get full power is about 48Vp (34Vrms). So the amplification required from the input stages leading to the power grids is:
The first stage is a grounded cathode amplifier using paralleled triodes, but with a constant current source (CCS) replacing Ra. 6SL7's will be used.
As in my other amps, the constant current source (CCS)is taken from Morgan Jones' "Valve Amplifiers." R12 sets the current at 3ma (1.5ma/triode.) The LED compensates for any temperature variations of Vbe.
This CCS blocks any AC current (since the current NEVER changes from exactly 3 ma). This means that for AC, the anode resistor is infinity (actually about 30-40 Mohm).
The cathode voltage for each of the paralleled triodes is set at approximately 1.5V (490ohms * 3ma). Note that the cathode resistor is divided into 2 resistors, one bypassed by the capacitor. The 100R resistor is the injection point for global negative feedback (GNF).
The gain of a bypassed common cathode amplifier is
A = mu * Ra/(Ra+RL), where Ra = anode resistor, RL = load resistor.
As Ra approaches infinity (possible with the CCS), A approaches mu. The mu of a 6SL7 is about 70, so the gain of this stage should be around 70. In reality it measures out around 60.
Below are the characteristic curves for a 6SL7. The operating point set by the circuit above is indicated by a red dot (I = 1.5ma and Vgk = -1.5V
A long-tailed splitter generates two waveforms, each 180o out of phase with the other. These are fed into the push-pull power stage.
Paralleled 6SN7's will be used for this stage. Their characteristic curves are shown below. They are extremely linear with Ia > 6ma, according to what I read, and my own testing.
Each tube will have an anode current of 7ma, so the constant current sink in the tail is adjusted to 28ma. The current is set by R7. It turns out that the actual current in the real circuit is around 30ma, so each tube gets around 7.5ma.
Now, for each pair of triodes, Va = 400 - 15ma*22K = 235V, and this is what is actually measured. This operating point is shown below as a red dot.
I designed a printed circuit board to hold the 6SL7 and 6SN7 driver circuits and had it fabricated by ExpressPCB. Miraculously, there were no errors and it functioned properly
Note that 22K anode resistors produce a lot of heat, so they are mounted off the circuit board on a tag board. The MJE340 transistors also have to drop quite a bit of voltage, so are also mounted off-board on heat sinks.
Below are the characteristic curves for the 6SN7 tube. The red dot shows the operating point set by the above circuit. Remember that the 6SN7's are paralleled so the currents are doubled.
The power tubes will require about -48Vdc applied to each grid. The bias circuit for a single tube is shown here; there are four of these in the amp. These will be point-to-point wired so no PCB is necessary.
The bias for each power tube will be controllable from the front panel of the chassis by 4 10K potentiometers, shown in the schematic.
The bias controls the anode current as well as the screen current. Cathode current, an OK estimate for anode current is measured across the 1-ohm cathode resistor shown on the schematic below.
I use standard voltage feedback. The feedback is taken off the 4ohm speaker jack and sent back through feedback resistor R34 to the cathode resistor of the first input circuit. This is R22 in the schematic below.
The overall amplification from input to 4 ohm jack is about A = 175. Feedback can be expressed as follows:
FB(in dB) = 20log(A'/A)
where A is the amplification before FB is applied (open loop FB) and A' is the amplification after feedback.
So, for dB=12, A'/A = .25
The classic feedback equation is:
A' = A / (1 + Aβ)
where β is the feedback fraction.
Solving => β = .017.
Now, β is just the fraction of output that is fed back to the input and is just a simple voltage divider made up of R34 and R22 (100ohms).
β= 100 / (100 + R34)
Solving, R34 = 5700, approximately. A standard 5.6K resistor will be used.
The volume control is an ALPS motorized dual-ganged 100K logarithmic potentiometer placed before the first stage. It is mounted on the front panel of the amplifier. Using the teensy arduino and an IR receiver it is remote control. The balance control is a crude affair, consisting of a dual-ganged 250K linear potentiometer between the first and second stages. It is fully manual and should be rarely used, as I have taken pains to make sure that the left and right channel are dead equal.
The entire schematic is shown below. The compensation networks are discussed below.
Once again, I used the Teensy32 arduino microcontroller. I have revised the PCB a few times so that it is now a general use board that can be used in a number of applications. The schematic is shown below.
I designed the circuit below to be the I/O board for the teensie shown above. There are 12 op-amps contained in 3 LM324 quad packages; these handle the inputs from various parts of the amp; To the right are 9 Darlington buffers contained in a single IC - these output to the power supply relays, the volume control relay, and LED's. The teensy3.2 board is in the center.
Some of the inputs from the amp are 400-500V. I really don't want these voltages coming on to my delicate little teensy3.2 board, so the little circuits to the left reduce these voltages to appropriate levels for inputting into the op amps that will input into the teensy.
Corrections will be made in the Arduino program.
The power supply consists of the transformers and rectification plus capacitor multipliers sitting in its own chassis plus a voltage regulator sitting in the amplifier chassis. The power supply chassis is connected to the amplifer chassis by a 7-conductor and a 12-conductor power cable. Below is the schematic for the circuitry in the power supply chassis.
Fairly straightforward power supply design. There are 2 relays controlled by the Teensy microcontroller that allow for a soft start. There are 2 positive capacitor mutipliers shown. The n-channel MOSFETs are not labeled but are high voltage, high current devices. There is also a single negative voltage capacitor multiplier. These capacitor multipliers reduce the ripple to a few tens of millivolts instead of the volts that would result from a simple RC power supply. There is a +5V and a -5V regulator, as well as a TMP36 temperature sensor which runs to the microcontroller.
The circuit at the bottom with the 3PDT switch allows the amp to soft-start using the circuitry preceding the switch without the using the microcontroller. Thus the amp is no longer turned off or on by the microcontroller. This is useful during programming when the Teensy is being turned off and on repeatedly as the software is tested. The amp won't turn off and on each time the software is updated, which is frequently, when changes are being made.
Note the rather huge voltages inside the chassis. Approximately 560V DC comes out of the rectifier; this can definitely be lethal.
Below are the square wave responses of the of the KT90PPP with feedback. The top 3 are left channel uncompensated 1kz, 3kHz, 10kHz square waves - there is significant ringing on the leading and lagging edge. This means that the amplifier could be unstable at high frequencies without compensation networks put in. All compensation networks are designed to attenuate gain at high frequencies.
1 kHz
3 kHz
10 kHz
Below are the square wave responses with the compensation networks added. These are described below.
Below is the entire amp with the compensation networks circled. The method I used was taken from a great article by Tim E. Smith on angelfire.com entitled "Empirical implementation of global negative feedback."
The first compensation network is at the output transformer. The technique is taken from Radiotron Designer's Handbook, 4th edition from the 1950's. It recommended a resistor value equal to the Ra-a of the transformer. So 3.3K was chosen. C = 1/(100000*Ra-a) = 3nF.
The next snubber is at the input to the differential amplifier. The values for R37 and C5 are derived entirely empirically. I adjusted a 100K potentiometer and a variable capacitor to eliminate the ringing with the least amount of high frequency attenuation. It turns out that I got satisfactory compensation without this network at all, so it was omitted. In my previous amp, the UC6550, it was included.
Finally, a capacitor is placed across the feedback resistor itself. The capacitor is adjusted until the desired effect is achieved. The idea here is to reduce the impedance of the feedback network at high frequencies, thereby increasing the feedback and reducing gain.
Below is the amp under test. The homemade 4/8 ohm dummy load is connected to the left speaker output. My front panel has not arrived yet, so the screen and bias potentiometers are just laying on the desk.
Using Dr. Jordan's WinAudioMLS audio analyzer software, FFT's (fast fourier transforms) were obtained for various power settings. The right channel is basically identical to the left so only the left is shown.
Left Channel at 3 watts - approximately .2% THD+N
Left Channel at 10 watts - still approximately .2% THD+N
Left Channel at 40 watts - approximately .6% THD+N

Jon's Bikes
Jon A., the owner of the modified DL-1 has sent me some photos of a couple of other bikes in his collection. A very clean and correct 1973 Raleigh DL-1 and a 1970 model.
He's also directed me to the Brothers Rich and the modified version of the DL that they make and sell known as the Charleston.
Jon writes:
BrothersRich sells self-branded luxury items, leather goods, etc. The BrothersRich Charleston goes for around $1800 US, not cheap, but it's essentially a new bike, because Paul Eric Rich hunts down straight DL-1s on their last legs, takes them completely apart, repaints them and puts all new components in them, including modern bottom brackets, headsets and Shimano hubs. His main competition is the Pashley Guvnor, also around $2000, but the Guv is a 26″ bike. I think probably most of those bikes spend their lives on display (kind of a shame IMHO).

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you engage your community
If there's one thing you can say about me, it's that I'm a planner. I may be a transportation planner by profession, but definitely a planner by nature as well. I plan gardens, PTA programs, New Year's Eve parties, and of course I plan (probably too much) for my kids' safety and success. And speaking of safety, in the spring of 2013, my planning instinct kicked in once again as I sat in the carpool line at my kids' school.
I had recently attended a great session at a conference earlier that month and was inspired by all the new ideas promoting safe, active transportation for children. It made me take stock of conditions at my children's school and wonder what I could do to help create a "Safe Routes to School" program in my community. Walking to school was not feasible for my family, but that didn't stop this planner from planning – maybe I could help improve routes for others so that they could walk to and from school – if we could make them safe.
There were many issues, and the long carpool line was one of the more obvious, but there were other big issues to overcome to make walking to school a more appealing prospect. The main entrance to the school is at an intersection with sight distance issues, made worse by queueing at a nearby signal and the volume of cars entering and leaving the school. Students living across from the school must cross a road that's been widened to five and six lanes (but only paved for two lanes), creating a large expanse of asphalt between the neighborhood and the school. Aside from the required "school zone" signage, there are no midblock crosswalks or signs to indicate that the corridor also serves pedestrians.
Being the planner I am, my thoughts then turned to the future: what's the school's capacity? How many more homes are planned for development in the area? Is the school's main entry road planned to become a five-lane roadway? As I learned more, it became apparent that it was going to take some planning to improve walking routes to our school.
So, now what? Transportation planning is time-consuming...and what parent of young children has extra time? I struggled with the idea of volunteering my expertise for a few weeks, thinking about how much of a commitment it would be – years, no doubt – and considering if I was up for it. And, after much consideration, I finally decided that I was. Now, where should I start...?
Transportation planning encompasses long-range "vision"-type planning, corridor or area studies, and preconstruction (NEPA) planning. It's like a 3D lattice with all its parts held together by multiple connections. Planning efforts happen sequentially, but there is a lot of "time travel" to make sure that future needs are anticipated and that a project's purpose will remain valid years into the future when funding becomes available.
Because I understood early on that this effort would be similar to a long-range planning process, my knowledge of these type projects told me that first I needed to develop a game plan for the long haul. I followed up with speakers from the conference I attended and became connected to state transportation planning professionals. From these folks, I learned how best to plan my program and then generate interest in walking and biking to school. I also capitalized on professional connections within Stantec to direct me to local transportation planners both in academia and municipal planning. This expanded my community connections and made it possible for me to hold a meeting at the school with local planners and engineers to discuss short-term and long-term improvements. These connections grew, and before I knew it, I was connected to so many great people, it was humbling!
I was invited to participate in local grassroots organizations to promote children's health and wellness by creating safe routes to school and have recently been asked to chair a county-wide Safe Routes to School committee made up of a number of municipal and county governments in our area. I'm very excited at the opportunity to make a difference on a larger scale than I had imaged and have met so many people already doing such important work! While this isn't accomplished during my 9-5 transportation planning role at Stantec, it is fulfilling my desire to continue to learn more about my chosen profession and gives me a great sense of satisfaction to use my volunteer work to benefit my local community.
Things are still in the works back at my kids' school, so I can't conclude my story by telling you that everything is fixed and I'm all done, but I'm okay with that. We're making strides in creating walking school buses (groups of students walking together to improve safety through visibility) and will keep moving forward until the local municipality can fund our proposed improvements to improve safety at the school's entrance.
This means, of course, that this planner will keep on planning!

When assigned this project I was worried about visiting any place of worship because practicing religion is so foreign to me. Growing up my parents never took my brothers and I to church, so we were rarely exposed to a church- like atmosphere. I can recall going to church once or twice for a wedding or baptism, but that really does not deem me experienced in practicing any religion. Many of my friends' families were avid church- goers and their lives showed great dedication to their God. Walking into their homes I was presented with religious paraphernalia and it reminded me of the lack of my lack faith and the absence of God from my life. I have always recognized the presence of a ' greater being ' and its role in my everyday life.
For this project I knew that I would have to approach any situation with an open mind. I felt like I needed to be accompanied by someone else in order to feel a little less anxious about the whole situati on. Originally I had planned on going to a synagogue with my neighbor, wh o is Jewish and worked at the synagogue , but she was so busy in her moving process that she was unable to take me. Given this obstacle I had asked my friend, Isabella , if I could go to church with her. Isabella has attended St. John Neumann Catholic Church with her family since she was a child and was actually baptized there and performed her confirmation there as well.
Before going with her I did some background research about John Neumann in order to understand his significance in the Catholic Church. Neumann's is a story rejection and hard work leading to success. When he was first looked to be ordained many churches claimed they were no longer ordaining and left him unable to fulfill his goal. This hardship did not discourage young Neumann; instead he worked harder and began to learn English. He wrote letters to many ministers and finally a church in New York accepted and ordained him. He was such a success because was able to hear confessions in six different languages , which allowed him to reach a much broader audience. His ability to communicate in different languages allowed his following to expand . Then in order to be consistent with the era, he learned Gaelic as well because t he Irish immigration led to a large Irish following. (Catholic Online) I began to wonder how it is possible to become a saint and their significance in Catholicism.
During my experience I noticed that saints play a very large role in the Catholic lifestyle. Rather than praying to God, catholic people tend to pray directly to Mary or saints. A saint could be any given person that is residing in heaven. " A saint is also a person of remarkable holiness who lived a life of heroic virtue, assisted by the Church, during their pilgrimage on earth" (Roman Catholic Saints). Though it seems that by this definition, Catholics would be praying to millions of the deceased because they are 'saints', but that is not particularly true. Catholics usually pray to the canoni zed saints. "Canonization seeks primarily to ensure that the person is in heaven and God is working through him or her" in order for this process to take place miracles must have occurred (Canonization of Saints). "These miracles must have occurred after the person's death (to demonstrate that the person is in heaven and able to assist the living), but miracles during his or her lifetime are also taken into account as evidence of God's favor" (Canonization of Saints). The purpose of saints is obvious after discovering this information. Saints are prayed to because they have proven that they are prophets of gods, they are messengers. Instead of praying to God, people pray to his messengers who each represent different virtues; reminiscent of what we learned i n class about the Hindu gods. Unlike Hindu Gods, these representatives are called "saints". This shows some aspects of worshiping can transcend almost all worldly religions .
First entering the church, I noticed a very large fountain vase containing 'holy water'. As each person entered they would dip their fingers in the water and then make a cross starting at their head, then mid chest and reaching across to each shoulder. I had seen people do this before, most times muttering "in the name of the Father, t he Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen", so I was not too unfamiliar with the gesture. As we had spoken about in class, water is a holy symbol throughout world religions. Water symbolizes purity. I further investigated the significance of holy water in Catholicism. The usage of the holy water fountain " corresponds actually to Old Testament Jewish practices of purification: The Book of Leviticus prescribed various ritual purifications using water to remove the 'uncleanness'… for three reasons: as a sign of repent ance of sin, for protection from evil, and as a reminder of our Baptism" (Holy Spirit Interactive). Before entering the church, members must cleanse themselves of their sins and impurities. "Just as water and blood flowed from the Sacred Heart of our Lord as He hung upon the cross — signifying the great sacraments of baptism and holy Eucharist [mass] , the taking of holy water and making the sign of the cross remind us of our baptism in preparation for the reception of the holy Eucharist" ( Holy Spirit Inter active). This act is important to not only guard the church from evil, but as a reminder of faith and dedication to their Father.
During the services I attended the choirmen brought out silver platters and set them on the table. Then the priest stood up and blessed each of these silver platters and then handed each choirmen a gauntlet of wine to drink from. The members of the church were then asked to come up by rows and receive the body of Christ. When the choirmen opened the lid to the silver platters it was revealed that they held small wafers. As each member went up they were given the wafer, or the body of Christ, and took a sip from a metal cup containing wine, the blood of Christ. The first visit I had made to the church I asked many question and I had found out that the wafers and wine were simply wafers and wine before they were blessed, but after they were blessed they became sacred. At the Last Supper , Jesus served bread and wine, "…When He had given thanks, He broke [the bread] and said, 'Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.' In the same manner He also took the cup [of wine] afte r supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me'" ( 1 Corinthians 11:24- 25 ). The people consumed the blood and body of Christ in order to establish a deeper connection to their faith. I wa s also told that these wafers were so sacred that the remaining pieces were taken to a statue of Jesus and placed in box so that his body can rest with him. It is a disgrace to discard of these wafers any other way because it is as if you are throwing away Christ. It is also crucial that you put the wafer on your tongue in front of the choirmen and if not you will be approached by fellow members who would insist that you eat the wafer in front of them. When I asked why this was so important I was informed that there have been instances w h ere Santeros have taken the body of Christ and have performed rituals and sacrifices with it. This is a large disrespect to the Catholic Church. If a child or someone who has not done their confirmation is in line to receive the body of Christ they must place their hand over their chest, crossed. This signifies that they are unable to receive the body of Christ because you have not attended communion or confirmation. If you are not a member of the church it can be very disrespectful to consume the body and blood of Christ.
This experience allowed me to be more understand ing and well- versed when it comes to religious practices. I had never before understood why people find that sitting down in church is so empowering, but I re alized it once I was there. As everyone is singing and holding hands there is a definite sense of community, it is almost tangible . Participating in this service allowed me to better relate to my peers who attend church weekly and it allowed me to feel the inclusion that any religion provides. I finally understood the sense of family, especially as each member of the church is "one of God's children" and as addressed and "brothers and sisters" who work to serve their Father. It is not only the mass that is involved in the Catholic life, after church there are social gatherings and clubs so that the church- goers can be more involved in the church. Being Catholic also becomes the Catholic life style.

Thursday, January 10, 2019
Sen. John M.W. Moorlach released the following statement today in response to Gov. Gavin Newsom's state budget introduction:
As the only trained CPA in the California Legislature, I am looking forward to working with Gov. Gavin Newsom on his state budget proposal for fiscal year 2019-20. I hope it represents a fresh start for all 40 million Californians and their aspirations. As I do a quick top-line review, here are eight commendations and concerns:
- Commendably, the governor makes note that the economy is slowing, so spending must be restrained. I would add that the yield curve is inverted, which usually means an economic slowdown is imminent. Consequently, a total budget growth of 3.2 percent may be an optimistic assumption.
- He spends $7.7 billion, "across multiple departments and programs," on programs to address the state's homeless and mental illness crises.
- He includes $213.6 million for wildfire mitigation and hardening our electrical infrastructure. Almost all that is from SB 901, passed last year, which required $200 million a year for five years from cap-andtrade funds for such programs. I think the amount should be higher, but that's a start. Given how greenhouse gases from three days of wildfires equal the entire amount of greenhouse gases from all the automobiles in the state for a year, the cost-benefit advantage here is substantial.
- It's excellent the governor is continuing to fill the Rainy Day Fund at $15 billion, slightly higher than the 10 percent of the general-fund budget as required by Proposition 2 from 2014. The budget proposal anticipates that will rise to $19.4 billion in the 2022-23 budget. An economic downturn may be just around the corner. Gov. Gray Davis found out quickly how hard it is to keep money in the bank as he blew through the $13 billion surplus Gov. Wilson left him.
- The governor wants to put a one-time payment of $3 billion into CalPERS and $2.9 billion into CalSTRS over the next four years to reduce state pension and retiree medical liabilities. That's a great start, but hardly adequate to address the growing pension and retiree healthcare costs that state and local governments are now required to acknowledge in their Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports.
- On the negative side, the governor missed an opportunity to put money into the Public School System Stabilization Account, also required by Proposition 2. According to the Legislative Analyst's Office, there is currently no money in the account. My own analysis of school district balance sheets tallies more than two-thirds of school districts running red ink. Many districts, the worst being the Los Angeles Unified School District at $19.6 billion, run deep into the red.
- The Governor is acting more like a Chief Executive Officer than his predecessor. Instead of giving the Department of Motor Vehicles whatever it takes to shorten the waiting lines, Gov. Newsom is sending in a strike team and implementing better management practices. This is very encouraging.
- Finally, I hope my slowing-economy concerns are addressed in the May Revision of the budget proposal. By then we will better see if the recent downturn in the stock market, especially the sharp decline of Silicon Valley companies, was an anomaly or part of a trend.

"I booked a day with Karen for my friend and I to learn the basics of photography. As complete beginners we had mastered the basics of our digital compacts by lunchtime and spent the afternoon on the more complicated digital SLRs. That success is largely down to the teaching skills of Karen, other things that helped (a) my friend and I almost had the same compact camera and (b) we started at the same level of knowledge – nil. Karen tailored the day to what we wanted and where we wanted to go. Her advice was practical and delivered at a perfect pace – not too much too soon, but at a pace to keep your interest. Add to that her lovely character and professionalism with the booking system and you have a perfect combination. We're practicing valuable skills in the field and will book again next year to improve even further and discover more fantastic shooting locations in the Highlands."
– Suzanne Duff (Wester Ross and Torridon Workshop, 27th February 2019)
- Develop your photography skills in the spectacular landscapes of Wester Ross in the north west Highlands of Scotland.
- Discover lochs, bays and beaches with stunning mountainous backdrops.
- Learn from one-to-one tuition in the field and a critique session.
Spend a day developing your landscape photography skills in the relaxed company of Karen Thorburn and enjoy exploring Wester Ross.
Wester Ross is home to some of the most stunning landscapes in the Highlands. On this one day workshop, we'll visit some beautiful lochs, bays and beaches with spectacular mountainous backdrops. I first visited Wester Ross as a very young child and have returned to this region time and again throughout my life to capture some of the finest scenery in Scotland which will no doubt appeal to any landscape photographer.
Learn from one-to-one tuition in the field and a critique session which will be delivered in a positive way with the intention of inspiring you as opposed to denting your confidence!
Here is a sample itinerary. Expect this to change in order to take advantage of weather and tidal conditions as well as the best locations for photography.
09:30 – Meet and greet.
10:30 – Arrive at our first location on the shore of Loch Clair overlooking the Torridon mountains, Liathach and Beinn Eighe. We'll run through some theory before setting up our cameras and tripods.
11:30 – Travel north a short distance and explore the shores of Loch Maree with views towards the mountain of Slioch.
13:00 – Break for lunch at Gairloch.
14:30 – Explore various scenic locations along the coast to the north of Gairloch, including Tournaig, Gruinard Bay and Mellon Udrigle with views towards An Teallach and the mountains of Assynt and Coigach.
17:00 – I'll drop you off you after a successful day of landscape photography. Hopefully you'll feel that your skills will have improved and you'll be inspired to put everything into practice as you continue on your photography journey.
The price includes the following:
- A light lunch served with a hot drink.
- All transport during the workshop and pick-up and drop-off in the Wester Ross area.
- One-to-one tuition and critique session.
The price does NOT include the following:
- Any additional meals or snacks.

Dear Athletes,
Please take 5 minutes to complete the registration form to let us know which sessions you plan to attend over the summer period in order to best cater for your coaching needs. EVERYONE needs to do this please so that we can balance numbers effectively. Thanks for your assistance!
We will introduce these changes in 3 phases and offer 2 full squad programs over the summer - Rottnest Channel Swim & Busselton Half Ironman:
Phase 1 = introduction of a 4th lane in the Tuesday & Friday 6.30am sessions. Effective Tuesday 11th August onwards.
Phase 2 = introduction of the new weekly pool swim sessions which will help to cater and balance expected demand. Effective from Monday 7th September onwards (subject to demand - please specify your interest).
Phase 3 = introduction of the summer ocean swim sessions on a Thursday (6.30am) and Saturday (8.00am). Thursday will be suited to those doing triathlons over the summer. Saturday will be suited to those doing the Rottnest Solo or Duo swim. Effective from 1st and 3rd October respectively.
Rottnest Channel Swim Program = this will commence on Monday 7th September (24 weeks) for Solo swimmers, Monday 5th October for Duo Swimmers (20 weeks) and Monday 2nd November for Team swimmers (16 weeks). Please register your interest in the form below. Swimmers registering for these programs will be able to take advantage of our "multi-buy" session facility and pay upfront for the entire program saving you a substantial amount of money and allowing you unlimited access to what will be 15 squad swim sessions per week! No other swim program in WA offers you this much value, flexibility and above all, quality. We hope you will choose to sign up with us! Full details to follow soon!
Busselton Half Ironman Program = this will commence on Monday 15th January 2010 (15 weeks) and will feature 3 swims, 3 cycles, 3 runs and 1 brick session per week as part of the package. We have decided to extend the free period on our current squad cycle and run sessions, but will bring back a fee for these sessions as part of the package once full coaching resumes in mid-January. Watch this space for more details, but please register your details in the form below as space will be limited!
Here are some notes about the improvements / additions to the squad for the summer period:
NEW sessions will be run subject to demand, so if you are keen on attending these sessions please let us know in the form below. The new sessions are:
Monday 7am (commencing 7th September) = Swim: Kick-start your week with a great session split as 50% pure technique work and 50% pace awareness work. Our other squad sessions are typcially weighted to one over the other. This 50/50 split is the ideal way to start your week and break you out of the "Weekend Zombie" feeling. 7 out of 10 for effort.
Thursday 6.30am (commencing 1st October) = Swim: Wahey! No more Daylight Savings!!! Welcome back THE best session of the week - the Thursday morning open water skills and drills session at Cottesloe Beach followed by a muffin at Daisies. Why is this so good? Just simply an excellent chance to practice some well-needed open water specific skills such as sighting, drafting and swimming straight. Well worth getting out of bed for!
Thursday 3.30pm (commencing 10th September) = Swim: for Stockbrokers and those who get off work early! This is a new concept for those who operate on flexi-time and require a little more stroke technique TLC. The squad will be limited to 12 people max and given the greater 1-2-1 nature of this session will incur a $20 per session fee or 2 ticks on your PAYG card. Well worth it if you can make it. We'll have access to video analysis when needed and the session will be about refining your technique as opposed to knocking out the big K's, so actual distance covered will be relatively small.
Friday 4.30pm (commencing 11th September) = Swim: for all you Rottnest Solo and Duo swimmers out there, this is the session you've been waiting for! Part of mine and Ceinwen's success in the 2009 Rottnest Channel Swim was down to a once weekly distance session we did on a Wednesday lunchtime which built gradually from 4km up to 14km. Longer intervals all at pre-determined Rotto pace. Incredibly tediuous in the pool by yourself but with a small group is great and entirely essential to your success in the race. The advantage of this session in the pool is that we can really hone-in on our pace awareness skills and practice race nutrition, both essential ingredients! All finished off with a pizza and beer - you can't say fairer than that!
Saturday 8.00am (commencing 3rd October) = Swim: another one for those swimming to Rotto. Despite the long, tough session on the Friday evening, we'll back up with a steady swim in the ocean each Saturday morning which will be chance to get a long continuous swim in whilst a little fatigued. This will be a great way to prepare safely for the latter 30% of the channel swim when you start to get tired. We will build from 3 to 10km in this session.
4 LANES. We have managed to secure a 4th lane from 6.45am on a Tuesday and Friday morning. This is great news. Swimmers attending the 6.30am session will warm up in 3 lanes, but we now have the ability to use a 4th lane for the last 45 minutes in order to manage numbers over summer. Unfortunately we will not have this facility in the 5.30am, 7.30am or 9.30am sessions, so if you would like a little extra space, please nominate for the 6.30am sessions below. This will be especially beneficial for those of you who normally swim in lane 2 (i.e. middle lane).
SESSION SIZES. We will be aiming to restrict session sizes to 24 people (or ~ 8 per lane) with the exception of a Tuesday & Friday 6.30am session where we have the capacity now to have up to 32 swimmers. It is absolutely imperative that you register your interest in these sessions below ASAP to avoid missing out. Priority will be given to those who have consistently swum with us over the winter period in the event of over-subscription. Your help and support is much appreciated in this respect. We will operate with a "buffer" of 2 people per lane when collating numbers given the flexible nature of the card system. This has worked very well in the past - occassionally we will have up to 2 extra people per lane on peak mornings (i.e. good weather), but typically this tends to balance out with the quieter mornings (i.e. poor weather). TIP: get down when its raining! ;-)
ABILITY LEVELS. Essentially we now have 5 lanes of ability in the squad. In the Time:4:Me sessions at 9.30am on a Monday, Wednesday and a Friday, the three lanes equate to levels 1, 2 and 3. In the 5.30am, 7.30am and 6.15pm sessions the lanes equate to levels 2, 3 and 4. In the new 6.30am Tuesday and Friday sessions, the lanes equate to levels 2, 3, 4 & 5. To give you an idea of the pace that each level swims at to check the suitability for you, see below:
Level 1 = 2:04 to 2:30 per 100m
Level 2 = 1:48 to 2:00 per 100m
Level 3 = 1:32 to 1:46 per 100m
Level 4 = 1:20 to 1:30 per 100m
Level 5 = 1:12 to 1:20 per 100m
ADDITIONAL COACHING STAFF. It is my great pleasure to announce that owing to the substantial growth in the squad over the past 12 months (and even over winter!), we have decided to branch out and employ some additional coaching staff to help us with the smooth running of the program over the summer. Rather than just scramble to get anyone in though, we are enforcing a rigorous selection and coach mentoring criteria for all interested parties to ensure our high standard of coaching continues on into the new sessions and with the existing ones too. We will be running a 2-day Coaches Workshop in the next month for all interested parties which will ensure that everyone we take on is prepped in our philosophies and coahcing practices. Rather than "water-down" our coaching though, we envisage that this practice will add some new life and spark into the program. Anyone interested in being part of The TEAM CORE's Coaching Staff can apply using the Coaches Network Form here. Equally, if you know of anyne who would be keen to get involved, please forward them this page and ask them to get in touch with me.
Please note, when completing the online registration form, DO NOT USE your "ENTER" or "RETURN" keys to navigate down the form; instead use either your mouse cursor or the "TAB" key to move to each new field. Segments of the questionnaire will not be recorded if the ENTER key is hit within the form, so to avoid losing 'work', DON'T HIT ENTER. Thankyou!
Thanks for your time & support everyone!

Cereblast releases finalists for design contest
on Monday,April 25,2011 22:04
A competition for the most innovative bioplastics logo is underway and the top three finalists have been announced. More than 1,500 graphic designers or companies entered their ideas to bioplastics manufacturer Cereplast, the sponsor of the contest.
Cereplast is looking for a logo that is both creative and easy to remember to a consumer. They want individuals to be able to recognize the eco-friendly design immediately.
"Cereplast's competition reflects our commitment to educating and helping consumers make more informed purchasing decisions that have an effect on the health of our environment," said the chairman and CEO of the company, Frederic Scheer.
There are a couple incentives for graphic designers who enter this competition. Not only would their design be on all items to indicate that they made from bioplastics but there is also a $25,000 prize for whoever wins.
Other businesses may not be able to give away such as substantial prize but it is reported that some companies offer a contest for graphic designers to compete in, and the reward is being hired at that company.

Peru Vice-President Chehade 'steps aside' over scandal
Peruvian President Ollanta Humala has announced that Vice-President Omar Chehade has "stepped aside" over allegations of corruption.
President Humala said Mr Chehade "was no longer part of the executive", but did not clarify if he had resigned or taken a leave of absence.
The constitution prevents Mr Humala from sacking the vice-president. Only congress can do this.
Mr Chehade is accused of peddling influence, a charge he denies.
"He was asked to step aside and he did, and today he isn't a part of the executive branch," Mr Humala told El Comercio newspaper.
Mr Chehade, who is also a member of congress, had earlier refused to resign, saying instead he would temporarily absent himself from his vice-presidential duties.
He said he was innocent of intervening to help a company take over a sugar plantation.
President Humala took office in July promising tough action on corruption and drug-trafficking.

"Today's vote gives hope of putting European values back at the centre of EU's agenda," - declares Leonie Martin, Vice President of JEF Europe.
Today, the European Parliament has held a historical and one of the most debated and contested votes on the rule of law - it is the first time that the Parliament aims to activate the procedure under Article 7 TEU, which in the long run can strip a Member State of its voting rights in the Council. The report by the Green MEP Judith Sargentini was adopted with the ? majority, a success that was doubted even by the most optimistic members of the civil society.
"The unity of the Members of the European Parliament in upholding European values by going beyond party politics is an important signal to us, the European citizens ahead of the European elections. Today shows: democratically elected institutions will not any longer follow the voices of those Member States that fail to uphold the European values that #OurEurope is based on," - continues Martin.
The time to "listen to each other" and "find compromises" among the EPP and its member party Fidesz is over. "The leadership of the EPP has been turning a blind eye on the situation in Hungary for too long", Martin says. "Upholding the European values and thus respecting the rule of law deserves full support by all political parties - critical self-reflection amongst its own members and owning up to it needs to be part of this."
The success of the report is in large thanks to the positive vote of some of the EPP MEPs, who were disappointed with the uncompromising rhetorics in the speech by Prime Minister Orbán the day before. The EPP member parties finally put an end to Orban's nationalistic policies by taking a stand in line with their own Statutes which expresses that the EPP respects 'human, rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law' and promotes the 'the process of unification and federal integration in Europe'.
The success of the vote is, however, only a tiny step in the complicated procedure to activate Article 7 procedure against Hungary. This once again reaffirms that EU's legal framework still remains ill-equipped to deal with the violation of the rule of law in Member States. Even if the Parliament succeeded to reach the needed majority, it cannot act unilaterally; meaning this political win does not meant the full prevalence of the rule of law. In the current framework of Article 7 procedure the EU is virtually unable to sanction gross violations of EU fundamental values, requiring an unanimous vote in the Council to be activated.
More information on JEF Europe
The Young European Federalists (JEF) Europe is a non-partisan youth NGO with over 13.000 members active in more than 35 countries. Founded in 1972, the organisation strives towards a federal Europe based on the principles of democracy, subsidiarity and rule of law. JEF promotes true European Citizenship, and works towards more active participation of young people in democratic life. JEF Europe, as a member of the platform "Civil Society Europe", campaigned as part of the #VoteYES4Hungary alliance.
What is the so-called Art. 7 procedure?
The Article 7 TEU procedure allows for EU institutions to flag a clear risk of a serious breach (Art. 7(1) TEU) and of the existence of a serious and persistent breach of EU values (Art. 7(2) TEU). In case the latter has been determined, the Council, meaning the EU Member States, may decide to suspend certain rights of the Member State, e.g. voting rights in the Council.
