Kanye West's new girlfriend, Julia Fox, responded to comments about her relationship with the rapper, which say she is only interested in fame and money.
The "Uncut Gems" star said in her "Forbidden Fruits" podcast: "People say 'Oh, you're just talking about fame, power, money.' "Honey, I've been with billionaires all my life as an adult, let's face it."
While admitting that she once "sought attention" when she was younger, Fox, 31, is not seeking ongoing media coverage as she is in a relationship with Kanye.
"It's funny because I'm getting all this attention, but I really don't care," she said, adding that she was only interested in art.
"Watch my movie, read my book," the actress said. "This is more exciting for me now than the fact that all eyes are on me. I could not be less interested. "

At Mariachi Plaza in Boyle Heights, just east of downtown Los Angeles, mariachi bands play all day and into the night. Visitors still come to listen and hire them for weddings, quinceañeras, and other family or community events.
Some of the mariachis still live right across the street, where the East LA Community Corporation converted the historic Boyle Hotel into affordable rental housing more than a decade ago.
Born in Boyle Heights, Fanny Guzman Ortiz is no mariachi, but she still vividly remembers moving into her apartment at the former Boyle Hotel. After two years of living without their own home, her kids immediately laid down on the floor and didn’t want to leave, even though Guzman Ortiz needed them to go out with her to buy some furniture.
“I was gifted because I was able to find affordable housing in my neighborhood,” says Guzman Ortiz, a mother of five. “It’s very important to have stability. What my community did, the folks that fought and advocated for affordable housing, is how I was able to become a sustainable mother of five, with my youngest daughter having special needs.”
Guzman Ortiz today is working to provide that same gift of stable, affordable housing to others in Boyle Heights and nearby, as a community organizer for Fideicomiso Comunitario Tierra Libre. As a community land trust, the organization is a nonprofit entity that aims to acquire land and take it off the real estate market in perpetuity, putting control into the community’s hands to develop or preserve it as rental or for-sale housing, community space or commercial space that they can afford.
Boyle Heights is still around 93 percent Hispanic, and 76 percent of Boyle Heights residents are renters, with a mean household income half that of LA, according to UCLA Center for Neighborhood Knowledge. More than 60 percent of Boyle Heights residents today are rent-burdened, up from 44 percent in 1990. Around a third of Boyle Heights residents spend more than half their monthly income on rent. New development along the planned LA Bioscience Corridor has Boyle Heights residents concerned speculators will continue picking off properties unit by unit.
Too many of her neighbors, says Guzman Ortiz, have already been pushed out of the neighborhood or into the streets because of deep-pocketed speculators swooping in to acquire distressed properties and jacking up rents. But now there is something hopeful on the horizon — the state of California just set aside $500 million for organizations like Fideicomiso Comunitario Tierra Libre to acquire properties along the path to foreclosure, to prevent them from falling into the hands of speculative investors.
“I don’t see any other way of protecting those foreclosed homes or those families at risk because of the pandemic,” says Guzman Ortiz. “Every time there’s a catastrophe, people are displaced. We just want to prevent tenants or small landlords losing their homes to corporations. It makes an impact on the mental state of the person to lose their home, an emotional trauma, but it doesn’t get talked about much.”
Leading the charge in the state legislature for the $500 million was State Senator Nancy Skinner. During the last financial crisis a decade ago, she remembers feeling alarmed to see private equity firms swooping into auctions of foreclosed homes in her district. As state assembly member at the time, she represented parts of the East Bay Area she still represents today, including the cities of Oakland and Richmond — areas that were some of the hardest hit by foreclosures back then.
“I would tour parts of my district during the financial crisis and in Richmond I watched houses foreclosed, and corporations would come in and just buy up whole blocks,” says Skinner. “And there were news reports of companies like Blackstone buying up whole neighborhoods in Sacramento.”
Indeed, across the country, Blackstone and other firms like it eventually acquired hundreds of thousands of distressed homes through foreclosure auctions or from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and HUD. These were properties of one to four units, which the federal government classifies as single-family homes — and instead of selling them back to homeowners, they converted them into market-rate rentals. The largest of those firms, a former Blackstone subsidiary known as Invitation Homes, held more than 82,000 properties at its peak, according to the New York Times, making Blackstone the largest private residential landlord in the country.
And corporate landlords, new to the game, came in unaccustomed to some of its basic tenets like providing major appliances or regular maintenance and upkeep. Not that they were particularly inclined to take on such costs.
“As renters you would expect landlords to be responsible for basic maintenance and including big appliances,” says Skinner. “These entities weren’t even providing them in some cases, and not taking care of the landscape at all. If you had a pest problem they would force you to cover that cost. That was their whole orientation to maximize profit. As these homes became a whole asset class it became about how to milk the most out of these assets and the way to do it was to spend the least they could on them.”
With real estate in distress again during the COVID-19 pandemic, Blackstone has been at it again, this time going beyond single-family housing to a wide variety of struggling properties.
Fearing another wave of foreclosures in the wake of the pandemic, last fall Senator Skinner championed the passage of SB 1079, dramatically changing the way foreclosure auctions work in California.
Among other changes, SB 1079 prohibits the bulk auction of foreclosed 1-4 unit residential properties. Bulk auctions are more attractive to investors; instead of negotiating property by property, they can buy dozens, sometimes hundreds or even thousands of properties at a time. It works better for the lenders, too — after foreclosing on a bunch of homes, they can shove the properties off their balance sheets more efficiently in bulk.
“The way the auction process worked in California was really tilted against individual buyers,” Skinner says.
Even though there has been a federal moratorium on foreclosures for most single-family homes since April 2020, lenders were still attempting to conduct bulk auctions of previously foreclosed homes during the pandemic, despite the fact that courts were closed so homeowners couldn’t delay or fight them off.
“When we realized the auction itself was a problem, we wanted to create a level playing field so the tenant, the former owner or just a single person or organization could have an opportunity,” says Skinner.
In addition to prohibiting bulk sales of foreclosed 1-4 unit residential properties, SB 1079 gives existing tenants of auctioned-off properties up to 45 days to come up with a matching bid to acquire the property themselves — or to work with an eligible nonprofit of their choice to let them come up with a matching bid.
In real estate, things tend to move quickly. Local public radio station KQED reported in April how Berkeley public schools employee Jocelyn Foreman had used SB 1079’s new rules to work with a community land trust and acquire the home she had been renting, preventing a large real estate firm from acquiring the home through a foreclosure auction.
SB 1079 may become even more crucial in the months ahead. The turmoil may not get as widespread as it was during the last foreclosure crisis, but the federal moratorium on foreclosures for most homes is set to expire on July 31, and the homeowners still benefiting from that protection are disproportionately lower-income, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
But not all community land trusts are currently able to move quickly on such opportunities. To acquire her home, Foreman worked with Northern California Land Trust, the oldest community land trust in California, established in 1973. It’s no Blackstone, but the land trust has decades of experience, a portfolio of properties and some cashflow that give it some capacity to move quickly. The Bay Area also has other established land trusts like Oakland Community Land Trust and San Francisco Community Land Trust.
By contrast, Fideicomiso Comunitario Tierra Libre only formed in 2018. It’s one of a handful of mostly newer community land trusts across the LA-area that are also led by Black or Latino community members who, like Guzman Ortiz, often come from the same demographic that each community land trust seeks to protect — demographics that face racial, immigration status and other barriers that limit the financial resources they can bring to the table. For these community land trusts, SB 1079 didn’t mean much without dedicated resources to back it up, but the law gave them a more solid argument for new resources.
“BIPOC-led community based organizations and community land trust efforts are typically excluded from opportunities to expand our work,” says Oscar Monge, associate director at T.R.U.S.T. South LA, a community land trust focusing on neighborhoods just south of LA’s downtown. “SB 1079 was so powerful, but it was a great policy without funding. Now …, we were able to make the justification that this wouldn’t be successful if communities of color don’t have the resources needed to implement this great policy.”
AB 140, a $12 billion housing and homelessness assistance bill passed by state legislators and signed by Governor Gavin Newsom earlier this month, includes $500 million for a new five-year Foreclosure Intervention Housing Preservation Program. The dollars will go out as low-interest loans for eligible organizations, including community land trusts, to acquire and rehabilitate residential properties of up to 25 units — meaning it can also be used to acquire larger properties that aren’t covered by SB 1079.
With many low-income renters hit disproportionately hard by pandemic job losses and unable to pay rent, Monge is concerned the owners of slightly larger buildings where they live may be at risk of foreclosure on those properties.
“We have very diverse buildings in our neighborhoods so we didn’t want to be limited … to four units,” says Monge.
Because it’s a new program, the state’s Department of Housing and Community Development still needs to set up program rules and also contract out one or more community development lenders to facilitate the program on behalf of the state.
“Time will tell whether the agencies can respond fast enough, but the reason I believe the governor agreed to this funding is that no one wants to have homelessness go up due to foreclosures,” says Skinner. “So my sense is the funding we allocated for this program as well as for homelessness services will take priority in the coming months.”
Even still, there may come a need for philanthropy or other funders to play a role if the $500 million is to really support organizations like Fideicomiso Comunitario Tierra Libre. The community land trust recently acquired its first property, with eleven units of housing, ten of which are occupied, just east of Boyle Heights in unincorporated East LA. It was the first property acquired through Los Angeles County’s $14 million Pilot Community Land Trust Partnership Program, which has also supported CLTs like El Sereno Community Land Trust, which has been working to reclaim vacant homes owned by the California Department of Transportation.
The LA county pilot program covered the $1.8 million acquisition price and an estimated $1 million in badly-needed rehab work on the property. But Fideicomiso still needed philanthropic dollars to step in and cover due diligence costs, get project estimates and also put down an “earnest money” deposit with the previous owner during the due diligence period before the county approved its funding and the acquisition could finally close in May.
Everyone expects the state’s new $500 million will require borrowers to cover their own due diligence costs and earnest money deposits before they can receive any funding from the Foreclosure Intervention Housing Preservation Program. Without some help from elsewhere to cover those costs, not all organizations will be able to access the state’s $500 million — or worse, some of those dollars could get left on the table.
“We’re articulating all these concerns to [the Department of Housing and Community Development] to make sure we don’t have a $500 million balance at the end of the five years,” says Monge. “The relationships with foundations and them being partners in this work are still important, first to fund the advocacy — which is not paid for by any real estate — and then to access the public resources once they’re available. We still need their funding to get that work done.”

Oracle Gives Customers A Break On Maintenance Fees
The change buys customers another year of standard fees on aging software products before increasing to extended-support rates. But is Oracle doing enough?
Oracle is making changes to its software maintenance fee structure in what it said is an effort to help out its recession-battered customers.
Oracle announced Monday that it will delay for customers the maintenance increases they would've started to pay next year on aging software products, as rates moved from the premier to the extended support stage of product life cycles.
For example, customers who bought JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 8.11 when it was released about four years ago are paying, on average, the premier (or standard) maintenance rate of 22%. Beginning in 2010 their rates would have increased by 10% of the premier rate, to the extended support rate of 24.2% of the initial software license cost. Now the extended support fee of 24.2% won't come into play until after December 2010.
To further clarify, a $1 million JD Edwards software license purchased in 2005 might carry a $220,000 yearly maintenance fee. Rather than increase that yearly fee to $242,000 in January, it'll stay at the current yearly rate until the end of 2010, saving the customer $22,000 next year.
Oracle, like other vendors, raises fees on products after a typical five years because, vendors say, older products become more costly for them to support.
Extended support rates have been waived for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11/10, Siebel CRM 7.8, Oracle Database 10g R2, and PeopleSoft Enterprise 8.9 until various dates in 2011. All of those products were released in the 2005 time frame.
Oracle also said it would provide resolution of "severity-one technical issues and US year-end 1099 support" for E-Business Suite 11/9 users through June 2010. Oracle president Charles Phillips made the announcements at Oracle's user group conference, Collaborate, in Orlando, Fla., on Monday.
Customers "need extra time," Juergen Rottler, executive VP of customer service, said in an interview. "In these economic times, customers are looking at every dollar spend very carefully."
But are the one-year waivers of extended support fees enough? Some customers have suggested Oracle needs to be more negotiable on maintenance fees across the board. Unlike SAP, Oracle doesn't negotiate on maintenance fees with each contract. It publishes standard rates for maintenance fees based on volume purchases; the typical fee is 22%.
Phillips has said that the standard rate helps Oracle anticipate and earn a steady income from customers over a set period of years on software licenses, and that's one reason Oracle has remained healthy and highly profitable during tough economic times. The company, however, will negotiate on the one-time cost of software license costs.
And Monday's announcement shows Oracle making sacrifices on profitability, too. For every $1 million software license on the above products purchased in 2005, it will get about $22,000 less in maintenance fees next year.
However, large software vendors such as Oracle and SAP are unlikely to make major changes to their software license and maintenance strategies unless customers start moving in droves to alternative approaches, including modern hosted software approaches such as software as a service.

Out July 28, 2015
At times the group was negatively associated with sex and drugs images surrounding rock music: deemed unacceptable by the city fathers, and unworthy of their support. Liverpudlian musicians believe that the musical legacy of the Beatles can be a burden, especially when the British music industry continues to brand the latest (white) male group to emerge from Liverpool as ‘the next Beatles’.
Furthermore, Liverpudlians of perhaps differing ethnicities find images of ‘four white boys with guitars and drums’ not only problematic in a ‘musical roots’ sense, but for them culturally devoid of meaning and musically generic.
The musical and cultural legacy of the Beatles remains complex. In a post-industrial setting in which both popular and traditional heritage tourism have emerged as providers of regular employment on Merseyside, major players in what might be described as a Beatles music tourism industry have constructed new interpretations of the past and placed these in such an order as to re-confirm, re-create and re-work the city as a symbolic place that both authentically and contextually represents the Beatles.

Medial or lateral dislocation (snapping) of a portion of the distal triceps: a biomechanical, anatomic explanation.
Journal Article (Journal Article)
Medial and lateral snapping (dislocation) of the distal triceps over the epicondyle during elbow flexion has been reported but is frequently misdiagnosed and is not well understood. In this study a mathematical model was designed to simulate the effect that bony abnormalities at the distal humerus and soft tissue variations of the distal triceps have on the line of pull of the triceps. The predictions were then tested on prefabricated and fabricated plastic elbow models, as well as 8 cadaveric elbows. When the bony alignment was altered, varus angulation had the greatest effect: 30 degrees varus malalignment of the distal humerus displaced the centroid of the triceps vector medially by approximately 2.0 cm. Valgus malalignment had a lesser effect: 30 degrees valgus displaced it laterally by 1.5 cm. Negligible effects on the triceps line of pull were seen with internal or external malrotation and with flexion or extension malalignment. Of the soft tissue alterations, displacement of the triceps insertion had a greater effect than movement of the triceps origin. The triceps vector was displaced by approximately 70% of the amount of translation of the triceps insertion. The relationship between the triceps line of pull and the bony alignment is represented by the triceps (T) angle. Our use of the T angle to understand snapping triceps is analogous to the use of the quadriceps (Q) angle for patellar subluxation/dislocation. Treatment should aim to restore normal triceps biomechanics with soft tissue or bony procedures.

The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters
Extended until 16 Aug 2020
To complement the 2020 Adelaide Biennial, this exhibition provides an historical context by surveying the representation of monsters in European printmaking from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries.
The title of the exhibition derives from Francisco Goya’s famous engraving The sleep of reason produces monsters. Etchings from Goya’s Los Caprichos (The Caprices) and Los Disparates (The Follies) will be seen alongside works by Albrecht Dürer, Jacques Callot, William Blake, Odilon Redon, and engravings based on the drawings of Pieter Bruegel the Elder.

SAVE A DOG
Why the "Wallflowers Shine Project"?
When we adopted our pup from the shelter he was extremely shy. We enrolled him in training sessions where they called him lovingly a wallflower. He was the only big dog that was put in playgroups with the tiniest of pups because he was too shy and scared to play with the big dogs. Over time this changed.
He became more confident, playful, and affectionate with all. He still was the gentlest of dogs but he was also able to hold his own with the big guys.
Dogs in shelters are too often wallflowers. Because of neglect, like insufficient training or exercise or simply from being ignored, they seldom have a chance to show their true personalities, especially while sitting behind bars. We will try to change that.
Getting them out of the shelter environment, working with them to develop social skills, confidence, and trust, while showing and teaching respect, will give them the chance to shine.
Tomas is a very sweet, energetic young pup. Probably a lab/great dane mix, he is very smart and a quick learner. He would be great as an adventure partner, and should go to a home that has experience with large dogs.
Rover - 4 months old and all puppy through and through. He is an energetic pup and will need an active home. He does great with other animals and we think would do well with another dog his size and energy level.
This beautiful girl is Tundra, she is about 2 years old and 42 lbs. She is a very sweet girl who loves kids and other dogs. She has a very calm temperament and a surprisingly low energy level for a Husky mix.
Coral - about 3 years old and a wonderful girl. She is shy at first and takes time to warm up to men. But once comfortable with you she is a total funny, goofy love-bug of a pup.
Amber - about 2 years old and a very cool shepherd. She is only about 55 lbs. so is on the petite side for a shepherd. She is very sweet and affectionate, but has a prey drive so would not be good with cats.
Woohoo, look who just arrived here in Oregon!!
This adorable little low-rider of a girl is Buffy. She is all wiggles and sweetness, and is quickly learning some leash manners.
This is Teddy, a very calm and gentle pup. He is a bit shy, but walks well on a leash and is a quietly affectionate boy.
Woohoo! Gwen, now Gizmo, has a new home! This sweet girl was initially shy, but slowly warmed up to show her true sweet, goofy nature. Now she has a new forever home, family, and four-legged best friend. Way to go Gwen!
We’re excited to have completed our dog cottage. The cottage is designed to safely and comfortably house our dogs during their temporary stay at our rescue. It is surrounded by a fully fenced play yard where they can release some energy and where we can work on some training and socialization with them. We are able to accommodate 6 dogs. All kennels are heated/air conditioned. Woohoo!
The Wallflowers Shine Project is a registered 501 c (3) non-profit organization which is dedicated to rescuing the abandoned, rehabilitating the neglected, and finding loving forever homes for all while actively promoting and encouraging the adoption of shelter animals.

£20m capital expenditure will be spent to help Transport for London implement changes at Fiveways in order to ease traffic flow to the new Whitgift Centre when it opens, if Croydon Council’s Cabinet meeting on Monday 14 December approves continued support for TfL’s plans for the Fiveways Junction.
The aim of the scheme is to increase the capacity of the A23 and A232 roads coming into Croydon with the aim of completing the work in time for the opening of the Westfield Hammerson development. i.e. it is designed to encourage people to drive to the new shopping centre from Surrey, Sussex and Kent.
TfL has decided to proceed with its Proposal 2 option and the Cabinet is being asked to support this with some changes to retain the Waddon Hotel, and ‘ensure that it fully enhances the quality of ‘Place’ as well as improving vehicle ‘Movement’.’
When Labour took control of the Council in May 2014 it inherited the Tory decision to enter into an Infrastructure Agreement with TfL for improvement on the A23 and to make a contribution of £20 million (to be drawn down from the 2013/14 to the 2017/18 capital programme and S106 payments made by Croydon to TfL).
TfL consulted on two proposals.
Proposal 1 – to provide a new road, cycle and pedestrian bridge from Croydon Road to Duppas Hill Road. The new bridge would: cross the railway at Waddon station to connect the A232 Croydon Road and the A232 Duppas Hill Road; remove the need for A232 traffic to use the A23 Purley Way and Fiveways Corner; allow drivers travelling along the A232 to avoid Fiveways Corner and Epsom Road by providing a more direct link in both directions between Croydon Road and Duppas Hill Road.
Proposal 2 – to widen the existing bridge carrying the A23 Purley Way over the railway, and widen Epsom Road to accommodate two-way traffic. This would: increase traffic lanes where the road carries both A23 and A232 traffic; remove eastbound A232 traffic from Fiveways Corner; maintain the same route for A232 drivers travelling westbound, but would provide a shorter route eastbound.
The officers report states that ‘Proposal 2 is able to sit more within the existing place/urban fabric, rather than imposing a new elevated highway structure upon it.’ ‘It ‘is the stronger of the two in terms of ‘place’ whilst still delivering necessary vehicle ‘movement’ benefits.’
Factors against Proposal 1 included the loss of Local Open Land and mature trees and Croydon Council’s intention to designate Duppas Hill Park as Metropolitan Open Land.

Ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, which begins today at 5:00 pm (GMT), the dollar is weakening, under pressure from expectations that the Biden administration will launch a massive stimulus program, weakening the dollar and pushing the US economic recovery.
Speaking in Congress on Tuesday, the future US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also called on Congress to provide additional support to the economy.
The general optimism of stock market participants is also supported by hopes for a successful outcome of the coronavirus vaccination. Meanwhile, in the process of vaccination against Covid-19, difficulties may arise, because many are still refusing to vaccinate, given the many negative consequences it has in Europe and the United States. It is also unclear how long the immunity obtained through vaccination lasts, and how successfully developed vaccines can protect against new strains of the virus.
If vaccination outcomes turn out to be less successful than experts expect, and many countries still have to maintain existing lockdowns or drive new ones, then hopes of a quick economic recovery will have to be abandoned, and this will again increase demand for a safe dollar.
In the meantime, as we noted at the beginning of this article, the dollar remains under pressure and the DXY dollar index is declining today for the third day in a row. DXY futures were traded in early European session near 90.42, 52 points below the local 4-weeks high reached earlier this week near 90.94.
Accordingly, the USD / CAD pair is also declining, while the Canadian dollar is receiving additional support from the rising oil prices. At the beginning of today's European session, the USD / CAD pair is traded near the 1.2695 mark, in the bear market zone (see "Technical Analysis and Trading Recommendations").
Today the focus of traders trading in the Canadian dollar will be the Bank of Canada meeting, which will end with the publication of the decision on the interest rate at 15:00 (GMT).
The consequences of the coronavirus on the Canadian economy and the country's labor market (in March, unemployment rose to 7.8% from 5.6% in February, and the number of employees fell by 1.01 million people), as well as weak housing market put pressure on the Bank of Canada towards further easing of monetary policy. Nevertheless, it is expected that at today's meeting, the Bank of Canada will keep the interest rate at 0.25%, in an accompanying statement will explain its decision. The harsh tone of the accompanying statement by the Bank of Canada on rising inflation and the prospects for further tightening of monetary policy will cause the Canadian dollar to strengthen. If the Bank of Canada signals the need for a soft monetary policy, the Canadian currency will decline. At 16:15, a press conference of the Bank of Canada will begin, during which its head Tiff Macklem will explain the bank's position and assess the current economic situation in the country. In any case, during the period of publication of the decision of the Bank of Canada on rates and Macklem's speech, an increase in volatility in the CAD quotes and in the USD / CAD pair is expected. At the same time, it will be short-lived, because already at 17:00, the inauguration of US President-elect Joe Biden will begin.
His speech during the inauguration may set the tone for the further dynamics of the dollar and the direction of movement of the USD / CAD pair.

This article was published in Today’s Sacramento Bee regarding Superior Court Judge Leslie Nichols’ order for Cal Fire and the State of California to pay $30 million to Sierra Pacific Industries for damages related to the 2007 Moonlight Fire. I’ve posted the first several paragraphs; the link to the complete article follows.
Judge orders Cal Fire to pay $30 million for ‘reprehensible conduct’ in Moonlight fire case
By Denny Walsh and Sam Stanton
Published: Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2014 – 9:41 pm
In a blistering ruling against Cal Fire, a judge in Plumas County has found the agency guilty of “egregious and reprehensible conduct” in its response to the 2007 Moonlight fire and ordered it to pay more than $30 million in penalties, legal fees and costs to Sierra Pacific Industries and others accused in a Cal Fire lawsuit of causing the fire.
The ruling is the latest twist in an epic legal battle that began not long after the fire erupted on Labor Day 2007, scorching more than 65,000 acres in Plumas and Lassen counties.
Sierra Pacific, the largest private landowner in California, was blamed by state and federal officials for the blaze, with a key report finding it was started by a spark from the blade of a bulldozer belonging to a company working under contract for Sierra Pacific.
But company officials have steadfastly denied responsibility and have accused the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and the U.S. Forest Service of conspiring to cover up their own shortcomings that allowed the fire to rage out of control.
Even after Sierra Pacific agreed to settle a federal lawsuit over the devastation in two national forests by paying $55 million in cash and handing over 22,500 acres of land to the government, the company insisted it was undone by an erroneous ruling of U.S. District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller, and then was a victim of stonewalling by Cal Fire in that agency’s Plumas County suit, including the alleged withholding of thousands of pages of key internal documents relevant to the legal struggle.
In a 28-page order issued Tuesday, retired Superior Court Judge Leslie C. Nichols essentially agreed with all of Sierra Pacific’s points, adopting a separate, 57-page order proposed by Sierra Pacific and the other defendants almost word-for-word, and excoriating the behavior of Cal Fire and two lawyers from the office of Attorney General Kamala Harris, which represented the agency.
“The court finds that Cal Fire’s actions initiating, maintaining and prosecuting this action, to the present time, is corrupt and tainted,” the judge wrote. “Cal Fire failed to comply with discovery obligations, and its repeated failure was willful.”
The agency withheld documents for months, “destroyed evidence critical (to the case) … and engaged in a systematic campaign of misdirection with the purpose of recovering money from (Sierra Pacific).”

Batelle is unique in its offering of support with sleep struggles until a child’s 6th birthday, completely included. This is a testament to not only our confidence in the Batelle program, but also to the importance of treating improving sleep as a long-term investment in your child’s health.
Children between the age of 4 months to 6 years go through approximately 5-10 sleep regressions. Without intervention, parents’ sleep quality suffers dramatically when their child is born, and generally doesn’t recover until around age 6.[1,2] Sleep training alleviates these problems significantly, and provides a solid framework to reset healthy sleep habits after a regression.
Why do these regressions happen? Not only are children continually learning new things, but their brains and bodies are also constantly changing. As their internal environment is in a constant state of flux, they rely on their external environment to provide a sense of stability. Environmental changes like a new school, a new sibling, or even an ear infection can be majorly disruptive for a child. They are still not fully able to self-regulate their emotions and may not understand what’s happening.  The first five years bring many of these disruptive changes, such as teething, decreasing the number and length of naps as the child grows older, moving from a crib to a bed, the possible onset of nightmares and night terrors around preschool age, among others.
“Parents’ sleep quality suffers dramatically when their child is born, and generally doesn’t recover until around age 6.”
Many of these disruptions manifest themselves as sleep problems, and for good reason. Asleep, in the dark, by themselves, a child is at their most vulnerable. If they’re already feeling uncertain or dysregulated because of their external environment, slipping into this vulnerable state may feel too scary. In this situation, their natural instinct is to seek reassurance from parents, the one constant within the child’s ever-changing world.
Though Batelle’s can accommodate the different stages of a child’s development, sometimes parents may need extra support if family circumstances have changed, a child’s tactics for resisting bedtime evolve in an unexpected way, or the root cause of the regression isn’t clear at first glance.
“We are committed to providing a comprehensive solution, rather than a quick fix”
If you need help with anything sleep related after you have graduated from Sleep School, you can reach out to the team free of charge until your child is six years old. We see this as a sleep “insurance” offered as part of the service.
Ultimately, sleep training is a lifelong investment in your child’s health, and we are committed to providing a comprehensive solution rather than a quick fix. With this in mind, we’ve developed our method to be resilient and sustainable, able to weather inevitable life changes. When sleep is approached with the consideration of a child’s underlying need to feel safe, the understanding and trust they build up is something they hold onto for the rest of their lives.

Many people hear from their doctor that their cholesterol is too high and that they must start taking medication for it. They take their prescription and they fill it at the drugstore (or save some money by ordering it online), but how many people understand how medication lowers cholesterol? How many people know what cholesterol medication does? What else can you do to help lower your cholesterol? The following is a guide on how medication treats high cholesterol.
Wait, what is cholesterol?
To understand how medications treat high cholesterol, we first need to understand what cholesterol is and what it does. Cholesterol is a wax-like substance that flows through your veins in your blood. It builds, protects, and maintains your cell membranes, making it essential for your body. Cholesterol is also needed for your body to be able to produce hormones, Vitamin D, and digestive enzymes. However, when you have too much cholesterol, it sticks to the inside of your arteries and begins build ...
Whether you celebrate Valentine's Day with a loved one or a cold bowl of cereal, most people recognize that it is a day enveloped by love and affection. Besides the cinnamon sweets and flower deliveries, you are likely to see images of the heart. Metaphorically, the heart is commonly believed to be the center of our feelings. While we have learned that our brain actually plays a bigger role in our emotions, the heart is still one of the most important organs for our survival.
That being said, here are 10 interesting facts about your heart.
1. Your heart likes sex.
Sex is good for your heart. A recent study showed that men who engaged in sexual intercourse at least twice a week were significantly less likely to develop heart disease or suffer heart attacks. What about heart attacks that occur during sex? Sex-induced heart attacks are actually rare, and have been mainly attributed to stress and anxiety. In fact, it has been suggested that if you can walk up a flight of stairs briskly, ...


Moen is known as the number one faucet brand in North America and now they have another prestigious award to add to their company success. They are the recipient of the 2011 WaterSense Excellence award by the U.S, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They were picked over a competitive competition due to their continuous efforts in their progressing WaterSense philosophy.
Moen has put a lot of time and money into promoting WaterSense programs using vessels like promotional events and advertisements geared toward media, consumers, associates and trade professionals. WaterSense campaigns were also launched to support awareness, including “We’re for Water” and “Fix a Leak Week” campaigns.
Taking a quote from the Moen Press Release “Since 2006, WaterSense and our many partners have helped Americans save 125 billion gallons of water and more than $2 billion in water and energy bills,” said Nancy Stoner, EPA’s Acting Assistant Administrator for Water. 125 billion gallons of water and over $2 billion in water and energy bills! Wow, that’s a lot of savings!
The Involvement Moen has with EPA’s WaterSense Program goes way past promotions and event support. Every Moen lavatory faucet for single and multi-family use is certified to meet the WaterSense criteria. These important water saving advances now extend into Moen showerheads, which meet the new 2010 WaterSense criteria for showerheads. And there is no sign of stopping; Moen continues to introduce WaterSense faucets and showerheads in every category, including rainshower, single-handle, showerheads and hand showers.
Recently Moen added Eco-Performance kitchen faucets to their product offering. These water saving kitchen faucets allow you to effortlessly switch between three water flow settings. These new Eco-Performance options allow the consumer to set the faucet on a low-water flow setting, which is perfect for washing dishes and prepping food. Switching to this setting reduces the flow to only 1.75 gallons per minute, which equals about a 32 percent water savings over the traditional 2.2 gpm water rate.
Again, taking a quote from the Moen Press Release “At Moen, we are constantly developing new products that provide a significant water savings without sacrificing performance, while finding ways to reduce our own environmental footprint.”
Moen has been a big supporter of the environment for the last twenty five years; they have championed programs for the advancement of sustainable practices both on a consumer and company level. As a company Moen had reduced their environmental footprint by reusing 70 percent of water used in product testing and recycles almost 82 percent of the waste from the manufacturing process. They also use soy based inks for copies and installed water filtration systems to reduce plastic bottle consumption.
All of these advances are a step in the right direction and we at Faucet Depot are proud to be a retail partner for Moen Products. We support and will continue to support Moen’s environmental practices and we hope that more companies will follow in the positive footsteps that Moen has pioneered.

Rates set by Onchan Commissioners are going up by just over 10 percent in the new financial year.
The local authority says the increase to 411 pence in the pound is rooted in 'economic challenges', including high inflation, escalating utilities and rising refuse costs.
Onchan Commissioners believe the rate increase will ‘sustain’ its essential services, maintain ‘financial flexibility’ for the next year and support continued maintenance in its properties.
It also says increases to staff wages, inflated material and subcontractor costs, and loan repayments for the Eastern Civic Amenity Site have all had an impact.
Fenella Logan, lead member for finance, says the decision to draw into reserves is to ‘alleviate’ the ‘financial strain’ on residents in the village for infrastructure projects.
Ms Logan said: 'In essence, the rate increase to 411 pence in the pound is not just a response to current financial pressures, but a forward-looking strategy that positions Onchan for sustainable growth, prudent financial management and the ability to seize opportunities as they arise.
'Our decision to increase rates by 38p is motivated by the need to address challenges head-on and to ensure that the services our community depends upon continue to be available.
'We extend gratitude to our dedicated team for their diligent financial management in navigating these unprecedented times and we express our gratitude to the community for their understanding and support as we work together to build a prosperous future for Onchan.'

This lead is used to power your Road Angel Halo in a non-obtrusive way, without the need to have wires trailing all over your dash in order to plug a lead in to the cigar lighter socket. It enables you to hide the power lead along to top of the windscreen and around the side of the A pillar to under the dashboard. It is approximately 2.8m of insulated wire with an additional 20cm of cable for making connection to your earth and live connection points.
The hard-wire kit comes with 3 different connecting wires. Black, Red and White. Their uses are as follows:
- Black - This is the earth and will be connected to a strong earth point on the chassis of the vehicle
- Red - This is what powers the unit when the engine is turned on and will need to be connected to an ignition switched supply. An example of this would be the cigar lighter socket. Something that comes on when the engine is turned on and goes off when the ignition is disengaged.
- White - This is a permanent 12v live and would need to be connected to the vehicle battery. The white lead enables the kit to stay powered in parking mode when you turn the engine off. Useful for when you are away from the vehicle and want it to keep recording.
If the White lead is connected to the battery, you will need to configure the Halo to cut off once the vehicle battery reaches a certain voltage to avoid a complete drain.
The images below show you how to do this:
Open the Halo software and click the Setup tab.
Find the Cut-Off Voltage drop-down, as indicated, and change as required.

In the next three years, Kibo Africa plans to raise its yearly capacity to 50,000 bikes from its current 10,000 bikes. Additionally, the business has successfully imported technology to manufacture 38 of the bike's components in Kenya, with the goal of localising 30% of the components in the same amount of time. By Q1 2024, Kibo wants to work with regional producers to shift the production of vital parts including mufflers and exhaust.
Huib van de Grijspaarde, CEO of Kibo Africa, stated, "We took the K160E as an opportunity to better help young Kenyans do more by saving a lot of time on their commutes and expressing their spirit of adventure through how they move. Our mobility solutions are intended to match our consumers' lifestyles while being affordable and ecologically conscientious."
We have dedicated ourselves to improving Kenyans' lives along our value chain throughout our journey. Our clients gain from the industry-leading goods, and our partners, workers, and distributors expand thanks to the local assembly and distribution networks we have. To better meet the demands of the urban Kenyan citizen, the K160E is the next stage in our growth trajectory, he continued.
In his keynote presentation, Deputy Director for Industries Gideon Oele, PS, Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry Dr Juma Mukhwana underlined the government's delight with Kibo Africa's achievements in localising motorbike manufacture in the nation.
"The development of Kenya's manufacturing sector will be aided by this significant step towards improving the capability and calibre of indigenous engineering teams. Furthermore, Kibo's vision to create opportunities for all people by providing access to safe and reliable mobility, as well as to challenge the market with an entrepreneurial spirit that delivers trusted quality, is admirable," said Dr Mukhwana.
Kibo Africa joined the Kenyan market in 2017 with 82 direct workers and collaborations with numerous logistics businesses to increase market connections while creating employment and economic prospects for millions of Kenyans. By the end of 2025, the firm hopes to increase direct employment to 400 and indirect employment to 1000.

Aston Villa finally ended their set-piece struggles in the 1-0 win over Derby County last weekend.
But, in turn, it has left Steve Bruce with a major selection headache ahead of tonight’s clash with Bristol City.
If Conor Hourihane shakes off a dead leg in time to replace the suspended Leandro Bacuna and return to the heart of midfield, Bruce must decide whether to put him back on free-kicks and corners.
On Saturday Henri Lansbury was given sole responsibility and he made a big impact.
So much so, in fact, that Villa actually scored from a corner for only the second time this season.
Lansbury fired in a teasing delivery and James Chester eventually converted what proved to be the match-winning goal.
Chester had already been denied by Rams stopper Scott Carson when he latched onto a Lansbury delivery earlier in the game.
It was one of four free-kicks that caused Derby problems.
Lansbury typically looked for Mile Jedinak or Nathan Baker at the back post. The towering pair were then tasked with either testing the goalkeeper with a direct effort or putting the ball back into a dangerous area.
On every occasion Villa looked like scoring. And when you’ve seen this season’s struggles, it’s a big breakthrough
Lansbury, who usually shares corner-kick duty with Hourihane when the pair both play together, also varied his deliveries from the flags at the weekend.
Bruce was impressed, saying: “Thankfully we had worked on set-pieces and we scored from one so that’s pleasing.”
So what does he do tonight?
Will Hourihane, the Championship’s most creative player before he moved from Barnsley to Villa last month, be tasked with producing the goods again or will Lansbury resume responsibilities?
There were certainly positive signs from the new approach at the weekend but we all know how what Hourihane is capable of when he's on form.
Over to you, boss.

We probably will never sniff the Dell Mini 3i aka dellphone here in the states because it rocks TD-SCDMA, which is China-only and runs the Android-based Ophone OS, which is also China-only. Why these decisions were made is beyond us but we're still interested in the progress of a dellphone so it's worthwhile to take a look at the latest leaked pictures.
In our opinion, the Dell Mini 3i hardware looks very much like the Palm Pre--it has a very nature-ish, pebble-like shape. Software side, the Ophone OS looks to borrow heavily from the iPhone with huge, press-able icons. We're actually pretty impressed with the hardware, which just drives us more crazy.
Can anyone from Dell explain why this isn't coming to the US?

In today’s blog, a bit of chatter first about the heatwave, then onto the intriguing subject of what’s in store for Central car park in Blackpool.
How are you all coping with the heat, my but it’s scorching here on the seafront. We’ve seen more people swimming in front of us, somebody with more energy than me I suspect! I’ve had all the windows open in the living room with the blinds on them closed to keep the dogs cool, after all, they are number one in our house, only joking (no I’m not). But there is a nice breeze blowing through, thank goodness.
My mum used to suffer terribly when it was hot as she was an asthmatic with chronic bronchitis. Oxygen gets sucked out of the air with the heat, making it difficult for people who have chest problems to breathe. Kevin and Derek had a trip out to Pilling yesterday morning to do some photography for a client and came back with very red faces I might tell you from the heat!
What’s in Store for Central Car Park?
Have you seen that Blackpool Council is almost ready to complete agreements to develop the Central car park (formerly the Station) site in Blackpool as a new leisure destination for the resort?
It’s been on the cards for quite some time and at last it looks as though things are starting to move.
Investors met the council bosses last month to set out proposals for the site which is now called ‘The Central Leisure Quarter’. It seems there are going to be new ‘world class’ attractions, some of which will be the first in the UK, ooh aren’t we clever!
As the meeting went well and plans and contracts are set to be drafted for the scheme which has been shelved from 2016 it looks like it’s going to be good, let’s hope so!
Of course the car park will be in the way so the developers have said they will replace the lost car parking within the town centre (not sure where though unless there is a lump of land or something that nobody knows about). The real hope is that it will bring in lots of visitors from outside the area, along with residents, and not forgetting new jobs which will be created.
With the police station that is currently on that land moving to the new building at Marton in July, contracts are now going to be sorted out (never a quick job in my experience) ready for the council to scrutinise them, and the legalities of course, before the next stage.
What is going to be on the site seems to be a closely kept secret. As it is such a big area I hope they will provide something for everyone of all age groups, time will tell.
Tidy up required for What’s in Store for Central Car Park
I just hope that in time the council and police will sort out the problems that Blackpool is having with drugs before a lovely new entertainment facility is built, if you saw the headline on the front of the Gazette yesterday ‘drug gangs target resort’.
As I’ve said not a long while ago, when we went into town a couple of weeks ago it had rapidly changed, with us seeing a lot of beggars, drunks and druggies, some just zonked out on seats. Now if I was a visitor it would put me off completely.
It was bad enough as a resident, but when you hear that drug gangs from big cities are spreading their tentacles out to target coastal areas and quieter towns then it becomes more and more worrying. Their own areas in the big cities have reached saturation point so these gangs are targeting vulnerable youngsters, some as young as ten, to push drugs for them!
These youngsters are groomed or forced to into working for the drug syndicates, moving and storing drugs and cash between their ‘new market’ city base. It’s also said that that youths also may have been recruited by violence, intimidation, debt bondage or grooming and are then sent to coastal or urban areas to sell drugs, often miles away from where they live. ‘County Lines’ it’s called, apparently.
The trouble is, like a cancer, their web stretches its arms out over all the areas that aren’t already covered by them, but the problem also is that not are they bringing drugs in they are bringing violence to rural and coastal areas, which is not welcome here I say!!!
Don’t just think it is youths from poor homes, it can affect middle class children who are offered trainers and the latest phones. Couriers travel on trains and buses while some rent cars to do their dirty deeds and I’m sure you agree that Blackpool and surrounding areas of the Fylde Coast don’t want them here.
Let’s hope the police can help to stop all this awful criminal activity before it gets any worse.
Parents are told to look out for different behaviour in their children, the police have circulated this list of things to look for:
- staying out late at night
- sudden acquisition of money, clothes or mobile phones,
- persistently going missing from home or school or being found outside the area
- excessive receipt of texts or phone calls,
- leaving home
- a rapid decline of schoolwork,
- significant changes in well being
- or evidence of self harming, physical assault or unexplained injuries.
These are all the things that parents or adults should be looking out for, and no doubt many more, but something has to be done to stop this tide of crime and drug peddling before it gets too out of hand. This isn’t just happening in Blackpool, it’s happening all over the country.

Veterans Day Parade: Bring the whole family out to support our troops and veterans on November 8
Published 11:53 pm Saturday, October 25, 2008
On Thursday, November 11, we will celebrate Veterans Day, a national holiday saluting American veterans of all wars.
Over the past year and half, the Picayune Item has been saluting the men and women of Pearl River County that have bravely fought for their country and our freedom — they answered the “Call to Arms.”
Some stories spoke of mere boys who lied about their ages, kissed their mother’s good-bye and went off to battle. Some were of women who filled desk jobs to free men for combat. Some flew planes on dangerous missions. Some marched across fields, mountains and deserts after they were specially trained in hand to hand combat.
Some of the stories were tear jerking, some thought provoking and yet others left you numb. Some of the stories did not even come from the veterans themselves as these men and women have long since left this earth. But all of the stories are timeless, and will hopefully be read and reread for many generations to come.
Here are some of the names of the men and women whose memories we have shared in our Sunday “Call to Arms” section:
Carl Holloway, Dick Castleberry, John A. Simms, James Mitchell, Dr. Stanley J. Watson, W. B. Sheffield, Roy Gjertson, Lemuel Pearson, Paul Nichols, Dr. Ray Mitchell, John Wilson, Robert “Bob” Gieger, Gladys Hughes, Hughie Hughes, William “Bill” Wilson, Ted Finch, Al Chrisman, Rupert Malone, Buddy Bounds, Majorie Wright, Earl Stuart, Ottis Penton, Joseph B. Bourgeois, Jr., John H. Napier III, Vernon T. Miller, James Livaudais and Michael G. Spencer.
On Saturday, November 8 at 2 p.m. the community is invited to help continue the celebration of these brave men and women, and our local troops by attending the Veterans Day Parade sponsored by NJROTC and The Mississippi Coast Watchers, MCW — a group of veterans that restore antique military vehicles.
The parade will follow Goodyear Blvd. to Main Street, then West Canal, ending back on Goodyear Blvd.
All veterans and current military are invited to come out and be honored in the celebration.
Bring the whole family to this annual parade. Children are encouraged to bring sacks to store the goodies that will be thrown from the antique military vehicles as they parade through town.
Veterans day is celebrated nationally, every year on November 11, no matter which day of the week it falls on. It is this way because of a hope and a challenge set forth in a letter written by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on October 8, 1954. The letter was addressed to Harvey V. Higley, then Administrator of Veteran’s Affairs. In the letter the President designated Higley as Chairman of the Veterans Day National Committee. He wrote, “It is my earnest hope that all veterans, their organizations and the entire citizenry will join hands to insure proper and widespread observance of [Veterans Day]… I have every confidence that our Nation will respond wholeheartedly in the appropriate observance of Veterans Day, 1954.”
It is this wish we carry forward every year in our hearts for our men and women of the United States military. Please come out and join in the Picayune Veterans Day Parade, a very patriotic and family friendly celebration, 2 p.m., Saturday, November 8 in downtown Picayune.
