Wellete Ramsey | Operations Assistant
My name is Wellete and I am so excited to be here at the Conservatory Lab
Charter School. Thank you for how you all have welcomed me. Let me start by saying that I do not play a musical instrument. However, my passion for music stems from my moms musical past. She is a singer and studied music. She inspired our love for music through a variety of genres. It is a gift of life. Do you know what else is: Educators, Caregivers, and child advocates. Prior to joining you all here at CLCS, I worked as an Early Childhood Educator. I lead my own Preschool classroom and learned so much about children, students and teaching. My passion is for teaching and for caring for children. It is a difficult job, but it is also necessary and powerful. You become a source of protection, of love, and of reassurance. I can already see these things here at CLCS. It is comforting to know that I get to be apart of this, and that I get to contribute to all of the great things happening at the Conservatory Lab. I am happy to be apart of your team. When you think of me, please know that my greatest dream is to write. I want to write anything and everything, and I also want to inspire children to explore their creativity through writing.

I know how important the well-being of cancer patients is to you, and I want you to know how important The Wellness Community is to me.
After my diagnosis of testicular cancer, major surgery and chemotherapy, I knew I needed a support group. When I finally got to The Wellness Community I found the place where I could unburden myself and finally move on to, "What now?"
I loved The Wellness Community immediately. The orientation meeting was the first opportunity I had to be with cancer patients outside of a hospital. Sure, I was bald and had cancer but, at The Wellness Community, I felt normal. In this safe and comfortable home environment, where people understood and cared about me, I could let it all out. And believe me, I did. From day one I realized the members of my support group and I had a shared hope -- RECOVERY. Each week as we talked about these tough issues TOGETHER we laughed, cried, expressed our worst fears and joined forces to face our mutual enemy -- cancer. After every meeting I found that my life was better. Much better!
I am thrilled to tell you that I am now CANCER FREE! Having faced death, I now enjoy being alive more than ever. I decided I want to help others too -- I've become an orientation leader. What a privilege to be here for cancer patients coming to The Wellness Community for the first time. Welcoming them and serving as an example that THERE IS HOPE. I always tell them, "Yes, it's true, your life is never the same after cancer. But that doesn't mean it can't be better." I know it can, because my life is. For one thing, the quality of my relationships has improved because of what I've learned at The Wellness Community. I am also making a career change. In September I begin the UCLA graduate school of Social Work. This is a direct result of my experiences at The Wellness Community.
The Wellness Community played an integral part in my picking up the pieces, facing the challenges and creating an ever improved life. Now, when people express how marvelous it is that The Wellness Community does not charge for any of its services I am compelled to reply, "The Wellness Community is not only free -- it's priceless!"

O.C. supervisors look to courts for pension opinion
August 1, 2007
Orange County supervisors will seek a court opinion on whether a retroactive pension benefit sheriff's deputies received starting in 2002 is unconstitutional. Following the lead of Supervisor John Moorlach, supervisors voted Tuesday to make a final decision on the issue Sept. 18. In the meantime they'll hear an independent legal opinion of the issue and learn whether deputies would be willing to pay for the benefit. The issue could be resolved if deputies agree to pay for the retroactive benefit, a route that is legal and other county employee unions have taken, Moorlach's chief of staff Mario Mainero said.
Postpones Newport-Mesa annexation issues
By Alicia Robinson
May 9, 2007
A decision on Newport Beach/Costa Mesa annexation issues today was postponed until July by the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission. The two cities have been haggling for years over several unincorporated areas that abut them both, namely the largely undeveloped Banning Ranch. The commission, which decides annexation issues, heard a sweeping proposal from Orange County Supervisor John Moorlach that would give Costa Mesa control of Talbert Regional Park, turn over the county-owned portion of the Upper Newport Bay to Newport Beach, and annex unincorporated areas to the cities.
Plea agreement entered in case of criminal threats
July 10, 2008
Prosecutors are working on a plea agreement for a Huntington Beach man charged with threatening Orange County Supervisor John Moorlach. Steven Van Arroyo, 50, is accused of e-mailing death threats to Moorlach in January and faces up to three years in prison if convicted. He was scheduled to appear in court today for a pretrial hearing. Records show Arroyo was accused in 1999 of similar charges and was sentenced to three years of probation. On Jan. 30, Arroyo pleaded not guilty to two felony charges of making criminal threats and threatening public officials.

West Santa Ana Heights annexation imminent
July 12, 2007
West Santa Ana Heights could be annexed to Newport Beach as soon as next Wednesday. Staff for the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission, which decides annexations, on Wednesday recommended West Santa Ana Heights be annexed, but that any decision on Banning Ranch be put off for six more months. It's the latest move in a long-running battle between Costa Mesa and Newport Beach, and it means a proposed "global solution" from county Supervisor John Moorlach has lost steam.
Curry takes post at Concordia Univ.

Tea Party to host candidates forum
February 7, 2014
The Newport Mesa Tea Party will host two candidates running for a seat on the Orange County Board of Supervisors and offer a chance for the public to ask them questions Thursday. Assemblyman Allan Mansoor (R-Costa Mesa) and Michelle Steel, Orange County's representative on the state Board of Equalization, are both running for the District 2 supervisor seat held by John Moorlach, who is being termed out. District 2 covers Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach and parts of Fountain Valley Mansoor and Steel will speak and answer questions between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. at Halecrest Park Swim & Tennis Club, 3107 Killybrooke Lane in Costa Mesa, according to an announcement from the group.
Mansoor mulls run for supervisor's seat
May 3, 2013
Assemblyman Allan Mansoor (R-Costa Mesa) said Friday that he is considering running for the Orange County Board of Supervisors. If elected in June 2014, the former Costa Mesa mayor and longtime city resident would succeed Supervisor John Moorlach in representing the 2nd District — an area that includes Costa Mesa, Newport Beach and Huntington Beach — on the five-member board that oversees county government and some special districts. "It's important to many people from our community that we elect someone who has strong roots in Orange County and has lived in the district for a long time to succeed outgoing Supervisor John Moorlach," Mansoor said in a prepared statement sent to the Daily Pilot.
No contest for seat
By Mona Shadia
March 22, 2010
. FOR THE RECORD: Saturday?s ?No contest for seat? incorrectly stated that sheriff?s deputies would need to reach age 55 to receive newly negotiated retirement benefits. In fact, they can retire at any age and receive partial benefits, but they become eligible for full benefits at age 55. In addition, the article should have stated that Orange County Supervisor John Moorlach has been married for 29 years.. Unopposed Orange County Supervisor John Moorlach has all but been reelected.

Anti-hypertensive drugs as disease-modifying agents for Parkinson's disease : evidence from observational studies and clinical trials
Rees, Karen, Stowe, Rebecca, Patel, Smitaa, Ives, Natalie, Breen, Kieran, Ben-Shlomo, Yoav and Clarke, Carl E.. (2011) Anti-hypertensive drugs as disease-modifying agents for Parkinson's disease : evidence from observational studies and clinical trials. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (No.11).

Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD008535.pub2
This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows:
This review will address the following questions:
1) Do anti-hypertensive drugs prevent the onset of PD? (We will seek primary prevention trials and epidemiological studies examining the association between anti-hypertensive drugs and PD to address this question.)
2) Are anti-hypertensive drugs disease modifying agents in PD - do they slow the progression of disease once PD is established? (We will seek secondary prevention trials to address this question.)
3) What are the adverse effects of taking anti-hypertensive drugs in patients with PD? (We will use studies included in question 2 above to examine this, along with any additional studies identified from the searching (including case studies and case series.))

Macy's tempered its full year sales forecast after solid second quarter results and growing optimism around omnichannel initiatives weren't enough to offset a slow start to the year.
Macy's said sales increased 3.3% to $6.267 billion and same store sales increased 4% during the second quarter ended August 2. Excluding sales in departments licensed to third parties same store sales increase 3.4%. Profits increased to $292 million, or 80 cents a share, from $281 million, or 72 cents a share.
Despite the solid growth in sales and profits, and positive comments about its omnichannel strategy, Macy's got off to a slow start in the first quarter due to extreme weather. As a result, the company bumped down its full year same store sales forecast to a range of 2% to 2.5% from an earlier forecast of 2.5% to 3%. However, it kept intact its full year profit forecast for earning per share in the range of $4.40 to $4.50.
Macy's chairman and CEO Terry Lundgren said the company's showing in the second quarter was the result of a rebound in shopping activity once weather patterns normalized. The company also benefited from a shift in a major promotional event that fell into the second quarter.
"We are approaching the second half of 2014 with confident optimism in our business strategies, merchandise assortments and marketing plans, tempered with the reality that many customers still are not feeling comfortable about spending more in an uncertain economic environment," Lundgren said. "Thus, we remain focused on outperforming our competitors through innovation in omnichannel, which has added new dimensions in how consumers can shop us and how our company can satisfy customer demand."
Macy's now offers shoppers the capability to buy online and pick up in store at all its locations, according to Lundgren.
"Moreover, our Millennial strategies have sharpened our merchandising and marketing to customers in the age range of 13 to 30. This has created new positive energy as our customers begin back-to-school shopping," Lundgren said.
Macy's ended the second quarter with 840 stores in 45 states.
Macy's optimistic about omnichannel ahead of holidays
Macy's tempered its full year sales forecast after solid second quarter results and growing optimism around omnichannel initiatives weren't enough to offset a slow start to the year.

Video: Until the Quiet Comes
My review of Flying Lotus' fourth full-length album, Until the Quiet Comes, is scheduled to appear in our November issue, but this short film, directed by Kahlil Joseph, does a fine job of depicting the record.
The film uses pieces of three Quiet tracks: "See Thru to U" (featuring Erykah Badu), "Hunger" (featuring Niki Randa), and "Getting There" (also featuring Niki Randa).
Until the Quiet Comes will be released by Warp Records on October 2.

Backstory: I started my journey on 1/2/12. Since then I've lost 90lbs (well, 85 now). I did really well but started losing steam in Sept when I hit a plateau. I got past it and weight loss was slower than before but I still lost. Then I started to struggle around the holidays but did ok. I maintained in January. Not bad but not great since I have another 20-30lbs to go.
Now: The last two weeks I've been craving everything. I allowed myself a little since I had kept myself away from all if it for a year (doughnuts, real ice cream, etc). Then a little turned in to a lot and now I feel awful.
Has anyone gone through this? Why the sudden feeling like I need to eat crap again? And how do I get past that feeling?

I am trying to make a few interactive graph visualisations in my Django web application using Python. I found Graphviz and was able to output a static graph (as a .png image) on my application using Pydot (Python interface to Graphviz's dot language).
However, I am looking to make my graphs more interactive, like being able to highlight nodes when passing my mouse over it, making the nodes click-able, dragging the nodes to a different location and zooming on the graph.
Is there a way I could do this in Graphviz? Or in general is there way to make an interactive graph for my Django application without having to use Flash? I don't want to use flash since I'm not that familiar with it and also since I want to visualise a fairly large dataset.

Angiosarcoma is a type of cancer. This type of cancer is one that lines blood vessels or lymph vessels. Another word that you might hear associated with this is hemangiosarcoma if it is associated with blood vessels and lymphangiosarcoma if it is associated with Lymph vessels.
Hemangiosarcoma is a rare, rapidly growing, highly invasive variety of cancer. It is a blood-fed sarcoma; that is, blood vessels grow directly into the tumor and it is typically filled with blood. A frequent cause of death is the rupturing of this tumor, causing the victim to rapidly bleed to death.
It is estimated that only 25 cases of angiosarcoma may occur each year. So this is what we are doing: We believe that we can prove that Angioasarcoma is linked to Vinyl Chloride, and therefore, we are investigating cases where angiosarcoma has been caused by Vinyl Chloride exposure.
One of the first documented articles on the connection between Angiosarcoma and Vinyl Chloride was published by the CDC back in 1974. The CDC recently republished that article to in recognition of the CDC's 50th aniiversary.
You can read the article on Angiosarcoma and Vinyl Chloride here.

Will have to find a more durable string. broke the 1st time while wearing. Cute bracelet, but price is a little high.

My granddaughters were tickled pink with their little pony charm bracelets. The couldn't wait for Christmas break to be over so they could wear them to school. One grandbaby actually lost hers at the house and when the sheets were washed, it got put in the wash. Found it in the bottom of the washer and it was still in tact. Great gift for little horse crazy girls.

"Sevastopol - city of monuments" Top 5 Page for this destination Sevastopol' by yumyum
Sevastopol' Travel Guide: 161 reviews and 411 photos
I travelled here by public transport on a day trip from Yalta. I can recommend to come here especially if you read about Russian history and the Crimean war for instance.
If you come here don't miss going to the Unesco protected Khersones at the edge of town! For Khersones see the tips under "Off the beaten track".
Sevastopol was founded in 1787 by Russian sailors, shortly after the annexion through Catherine II. The city and its surroundings have 38 bays. Until in the 1990s the city was a closed one due the navy. Today both the Ukrainian and the Russian navies have their home here.
But already in 422 till 421 BC the Greeks founded Khersones. So this area has been settled for a very long time by people from various tribes and nations.
- Pros:History, sun and fun!
- In a nutshell:A must on a Crimea trip!

another nice page with lovely photos. i have heard alot of sevastopol of course in history classes. nice to 'discover' your pages!
RE: ROTTING AWAY Actually, these 4 missile frigates tucked away in the little bay behind Chersonesus are some of the most capable ships in the Black Sea Fleet - they are all operational and were all deployed to fight in the Georgian conflict in 2008.
This building is officially called "The palace of childhood and youth", and it's a place where a lot of courses, study and hobby groups for children are located. There is also a professional Dance Theatre in the building.
It's an interesting and attractive destination, you're right! Vielen Dank und alles Gute in der Zukunft!
an interesting page about a city I sometimes passed by in a big distance by cruiseship, and in the times of cold war there was no way to get there at all...
Fabulantastic page..Sevastopol is definitely among the places I would love to visit one day. These former Soviet military bases have a certain fascination, haven't they? Keep up the good work ... :o)
Thanks, Sonja, great work! I happened to be in Sevastopol in 1967. I'm going to Crimea on this Russian Roghdestvo (January,7). May be i'll happen to visit Sevastopol one more time, but not shure...
I think the tree came first!! Another nice page Sonja - You do visit some very interesting places. Thanks for sharing :))

I have been using this plug in for a while and I find it to be simple and easy to understand. But I am confused with two fields in the SEO of wordpress pages. What to be entered in 'Title attribute' field and in 'menu label' field? Some pages of my website are not included in any menu. Do they require menu label?
Sorry if it is a dumb question but I am new to wordpress.

With some minor modifications we have been able to implement this plugin to show up on our Authors sidebar images. Hope to work with you more on this!!
Thanks for the plugin. simple and reliable.
works well thx for the plugin
Really simple and works well. I actually using it and no problem. Good if you want to show your Klout score and one thing important to say is that it also create a link to your Klout profile. Good to earn +K easily on Klout.
Lack of screenshots is not encouraging - when I implemented, noticed only text, inspected the element and noticed it pointed to a plugin directory called kscore. Sadly this was not the directory that WordPress installed the plugin/widget to.
Anyhow - looks terrible - don't even bother.

Thousands of riot police are lined the streets of Nagano Friday, for the first Japan leg of the Olympic torch relay with helicopters hovering overhead.
Demonstrators protesting China's treatment of Tibet are rallying at a prayer vigil. Police guards in track suits surrounded the first runner, the manager of Japan's national baseball team. Another 100 uniformed riot police trotted alongside six patrol cars and two police motorcycles leading the way. The starting point and rest stops were closed to the public for what Japanese officials called "unavoidable security considerations."
Japan is the 16th international stop for the relay. The summer games open in Beijing August 8th.

I'm doing HTTP load testing benchmarks (using Apache Benchmark and Siege) on a small Java EE 1.7.0 / Tomcat 7.0.26 application running on a Debian Squeeze 6.0.4 x64 virtualized with Virtualbox 4.1.8. The computer host is Ubuntu 11.10 x64.
I've modified those parameters in the Tomcat
server.xml :
minSpareThreads="50" />
The application executed on the server takes around 300ms.
This app is running well until a certain amount of concurrent connections like those one :
ab -n 500 -c 150 http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/myapp/
ab -n 1000 -c 50 http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/myapp/
siege -b -c 100 -r 20 http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/myapp/
A lot of
socket connection timed out happens and this completly overload the host processor (but the CPU load inside the VM is normal).
Doing an
htop on the host, i can see that the Virtualbox processus is running under 300% CPU and never come down even after the load test is finished. (I've allocated 4 processors to the VM, if I allocate only one processor, CPU load goes under 100%).
Restarting Tomcat don't do anything, i'm forced to restart the whole VM.
I've tryed to launch those ab/siege commands locally on the VM and everything goes well.
I first thought it was related to a linux network limit as explained here: Running some benchmarks using ab, and tomcat starts to really slow down So I've modified those TCP parameters :
echo 15 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout
echo 30 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_intvl
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_reuse
It seems to be better, but it continues to overload the host CPU and output
socket connections time out at a certain amount of concurrent connections.
I'm wondering if this is not related to how Virtualbox handles external concurrent connections.

Put with other all black or Video Team products.
This is just a basic throw-a-blanket-on-the-couch-and-let-'em-fuck affair. Except for one scene that happens on a desk. Five black girls each go one-on-one with a black dude. And they manage to get all of the requisite positions covered without any bells, whistles or much excitement of any kind.
Although none of the scenes tend to shine, Stacey Cash does have some decent butt-bouncing moments. And Misty Mason is a good-looking vixen worth keeping an eye on.
What's really going to move this, however, is the beautiful box cover shot of Stacey. The title may be a bit of a dud, but it's dressed beautifully.

Hague's start as a copy jockey It's hard to believe, but there was a time when William Hague was out of the public eye. While TS is tempted to suggest that time may soon come again, for now we prefer to focus on the period between his debut at that Tory conference and his ascendancy to the top of the party pile.
Grinding out at a career at consultants McKinsey's back in the heady days of the 80s, young William found himself managed by none other than Sir Howard Davies, the genial chairman of the Financial Services Authority.
Sir Howard is not someone who is shy about passing on an anecdote or two. 'I think his first job when he came into the firm was directly working on one of my teams,' Sir Howard said.
So how was the leader of Her Majesty's opposition as an employee? 'When you gave him some photocopying he would go away and do it and come back with it straight away,' he jokes.
Unfortunately diplomacy then overcomes him and he mutters a series of sentences that include compliments like 'clever chap', 'hard working' and, to our surprise, 'self-effacing'.

HONOLULU -- Jerry Buss has already shown that he'll part
with superstars. Yet upon hearing that the Los Angeles Lakers'
owner would consider trading Kobe Bryant, even Shaquille O'Neal was
"I guess it's business before loyalty. But, wow. He said
that?" O'Neal said Thursday in Miami after learning Buss told
reporters he would trade Bryant under the right circumstances.
Buss indeed did, telling three Los Angeles-area beat writers
covering training camp in Honolulu on Wednesday that he "would
certainly listen" to trade offers for the two-time NBA scoring
"At any time, I think you have to do that with anybody," Buss
said, discussing Bryant publicly for the first time since the
often-frustrated Lakers' star asked to be traded at the end of last
season. "It's just part of the game, to listen to somebody who has
a dissatisfied player that you think is going to fit.
"You can't keep too many loyalties. You've got to look at it as
a business. He looks at it the same way I look at it."
Buss made his comments to reporters from the Los Angeles Times,
the Orange County Register and the Riverside Press-Enterprise.
"Dr. Buss's comments today provided more insight to a
conversation we shared in Barcelona earlier this summer," Bryant
said in a statement issued Thursday. "I have touched on this
conversation and other conversations within the Lakers'
organization during the recent months and again at the Lakers'
media day. I have nothing further to add and look forward to the
upcoming season with my teammates."
Lakers coach Phil Jackson said if Kobe stays, he must put the
distractions aside.
"My message to Kobe was that if you could play with your heart
in this game, on this team, you'll be fine. If you can't, if you
have divided loyalties, then you can't do it."
When asked if Bryant is focused, Jackson said, "No, he's not.
He's distracted, obviously."
However, Jackson acknowledged Buss must keep to his word to
"His first initial statement was that we're not interested in
trading Kobe Bryant, but when you have a disgruntled player, an
unhappy player or whatever, you have to consider you made that
gentlemen's agreement with Kobe and I think that's appropriate,"
Jackson said.
Before Thursday night's exhibition game against Golden State in
Honolulu, some members of the Lakers said they weren't aware of
Buss' comments.
"I didn't hear them," Lamar Odom said. "For us, we're players
so, you know, I didn't hear the comments myself so I wouldn't know
why there would be a different mood or a different feeling at
shootaround today."
Forward Ronny Turiaf agreed that the reports did little to
affect the team.
"We just play basketball. I really have nothing to say, that's
between Kobe and management," he said.
The Lakers won three championships and reached the NBA Finals
four times in five years before O'Neal was traded to the Miami Heat
in July 2004. They haven't won a playoff series since O'Neal left,
and O'Neal has since helped the Heat win the 2006 NBA title.
"Anyone can be traded, but mine was different because I walked
into the office and demanded a trade," O'Neal said. "I don't take
loyalty lightly. If you tell me you're going to do something, I
expect you to do it. And then when you change your mind without
telling me, that means you're disloyal so we can't be down
Bryant has four years worth $88.6 million left on the seven-year
contract he signed a day after O'Neal was traded, but can terminate
the deal in two years. That would leave $47.8 million on the table.
"I tend not to think in basketball terms that many years down
the road because things change so dramatically, but he could test
the waters at that point," Buss said. "If he still is in that
frame of mind, then hopefully we can do a sign-and-trade and get
some comparable talent. I would like to think that we win between
now and then so it doesn't come up."
Following his trade request, Bryant kept a low profile regarding
the Lakers until reporting with his teammates Oct. 1 on media day --
before the team left for Hawaii. Bryant told reporters that
frustration led to his blowup. Otherwise, he said the time had come
to move forward.
Buss recalled an offseason meeting in Barcelona when he tried to
talk Bryant out of the trade request.
"He listened very carefully for 30, 45 minutes," Buss said.
"I tried to explain to him how much the city of Los Angeles loved
him, and that to leave 10 million sweethearts for unknown territory
might not be the right thing to do. But when I was finished, he
said he basically felt the same way. And I said, `OK. With that, I
will proceed to see what's available."'
Buss didn't elaborate other than saying he might have acted on a
trade offer that was "within reason."
"You have to get comparable value when you make a trade," Buss
said. "It's very hard to trade somebody like him because people
who have enough material to make it worthwhile are usually
contenders and they don't want to make the trade."
Buss also said he occasionally told Bryant of certain offers,
none of which he found fair to the Lakers, and acknowledged
frustration at losing out to Boston for Kevin Garnett's services.
"I told him that I would try my best to accommodate his wishes,
but that I could not afford to let him go unless we got comparable
talent -- if there was such a thing," Buss said.
The 29-year-old Bryant is about to begin his 12th NBA season --
all with the Lakers.

Feds help bail out jobless trust fund
Federal aid has reduced the projected shortfall in California's Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund this year by $5 billion, the state Employment Development Department reports.
In May, before it was clear that Congress would continue to underwrite so-called Fed-Ed extended unemployment benefits, the state projected a $15.3 billion trust fund deficit for 2010. EDD officials now put this year's shortfall at $10.3 billion as the state pays out record unemployment benefits.
Federal aid also is expected to reduce the projected trust fund deficit in 2011 from the $20.9 billion previously forecast to $13.4 billion. EDD officials estimate the red ink will grow to $16 billion in 2012. (Click on chart to enlarge.)
California, however, continues to pay out billions more in unemployment benefits than it takes in from employers. This year, the state is expected to receive $5.2 billion in employer contributions, interest earnings, reimbursements and other monies. But the state will pay out $9.3 billion in benefits.
As a result, the state has had to borrow from the federal government to pay benefits. The U.S. Labor Department reported that, as of Oct. 19, California had borrowed $8.7 billion from the federal government.
While Congress waived interest payments this year for states that have borrowed to pay unemployment, interest will start accruing again Jan. 1.
If all the borrowed money is not repaid by Sept. 30 of next year, California faces a potential interest payment of $362 million. That's down from the $500 million originally estimated but will still be difficult for the state to pay considering its budget problems and the fact the repayment cannot come from unemployment insurance trust fund monies. The state will likely have to turn to the general fund for the money.
And that's just the interest payment. It doesn't address the $8 billion-plus that needs to be repaid.
EDD's latest trust fund forecast comes one day after the state Legislative Analyst's Office released its own report on the trust fund entitled, "California's Other Budget Deficit: The Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund Insolvency."
Overall, California's unemployment insurance benefits compare fairly favorably among the 10 largest states, but there are problems, said the report. Here's the legislative analyst's conclusion:
"In summary, while California's (unemployment insurance) benefits are near the average for the ten largest states and the national average, the average employer cost in California for the (unemployment insurance) program is substantially higher than the average cost for the ten largest states and the national average cost. We believe this is because (1) California provides (unemployment insurance) benefits to more claimants as compared to other states, and (2) the average duration of benefits in California is longer than other states."
The LAO recommended a variety of short-term and long-term fixes designed to make the trust fund solvent while trying to minimize the impact on business. The recommendations include a combination of tax and benefit changes.

I have this really strange recurring problem with my Dell XPS laptop. It started with me sending it into repairs to replace the chipset, so I wonder if it has anything to do with that.
My computer functions fine, it does not overclock or overheat at all according to the diagnostic tools I have checked, and is otherwise an extremely functional machine, aside from the fact that it crashes (no BSOD, no automatic restart, just sudden shut down with no warning, losing me all unsaved work) exactly every 2 hours. And when I say exactly 2 hours, I mean pretty much to the minute.
Any process explorers I used inform me that there were no noticeable spikes around the time of the shut down (or should I say crash) and I have rigorously tested the battery pack and power cable to ensure this is not a power issue (which would make little sense anyway, with the crashes happening at precise 2 hour intervals). It could be running one chrome window, a video and a chrome window, or zero significant system processes at the two hour mark, the crash comes all the same.
I did a little research and apparently this is a common complaint for Windows 7 RC systems in 2010 that have not been properly activated, hence Windows activating the bi-hourly shutoff. Funny thing is I have windows 7 Home Premium, an activated and completely legal version, which has been functioning well for 3 years until this time.
It really is getting sort of maddening, and my laptop repair place just basically told me they have no idea what's going on, so I'm desperate, and as far as the internet tells me, this is an obscure Windows activation problem that hasn't been a serious issue for people since 2011. Any ideas?

Re: Quarterly monitoring seems useless to me now
quarterly monitoring has been suspect for me when it reported a TransUnion FICO of 731 but a week later I got a denail of credit based on a ... wait for it ... 671 TransUnion FICO . So that quarterly report was pretty much worthless.
I probably am done with quarterly when my current subscription runs out. Will then get my free credit reports each year. At this point (rebuilding credit from a bad streak in 2007-08), my credit is shored up to the point that quarterly reporting -- even if it's reliable, which based on my experience above, I don't believe it to be -- doesn't really add value.
I do use Credit Karma, and it seems much more sensitive to underlying factors that the monitoring service. For instance, when my studnet loans were sold to another servicer, CK picked that up pretty much immediately, showing an immediate credi jump. When a 2-yr hard inquiry aged off, CK reported that within a couple of days, again with the bump.
Starting Score: 653 (11/1/2011 TransUnion)
Current Score: 719 (5/3/2012 TransUnion) 572 (3/21/2012 Equifax) 762 (4/14/12 VantageScore)
Goal Score: 700
Take the FICO Fitness Challenge
