David Gudridge, a Cleo Wallace teacher who helped hold Casey down, later told police that he and the other staff members soon believed Casey was beginning to calm down. Then they felt Casey shudder. "It was just like an earthquake went through his body," Gudridge said. The six men took the unusual movement to mean that Casey was getting out of control again. They continued to hold him down. A second, massive tremor went through his body, and then he became still, Gudridge told police. (Gudridge, who according to a roommate no longer works at Cleo Wallace, did not return phone calls seeking comment.)
The staffers, who intended to take Casey to the quiet room, got up and took off his shoes, then searched his pockets to make sure he wasn't carrying anything he could use to hurt himself or others. Only then, they told police, did they notice that he had stopped breathing and that his face lay in a small puddle of vomit. That Casey would throw up during the restraint didn't come as a surprise to Smith. "He vomited the time we managed him before, also," he told police. "If I am not mistaken, I was told that he does it every time he gets managed." None of the six employees however, remembered seeing Casey throw up as they held him, police reported.
The staff members immediately called center nurses to perform CPR. The nurses wrote in their reports that the "copious amounts" of vomit present in Casey's nose and mouth hindered their attempts. The staff called paramedics, but they couldn't help, either. Rose received a phone call at approximately 2:30 p.m. asking her to come to the school. Only after she arrived did anyone tell her that Casey was dead.
The official cause of death, according to the coroner's report, was "acute cardio-respiratory failure related to mechanical [positional] asphyxiation due to the compromised mechanics of respiration." In other words, Casey was physically unable to breathe because he was being crushed.
Mike Montgomery says he's limited in what he can say about Casey's death because of state confidentiality laws and because the Colliers are considering suing the center. But, says Montgomery, the staffers who handled Casey were well trained in restraint techniques; two of them even had training as emergency medical technicians and "extensive experience in monitoring a patient's physical well-being."
"That," Montgomery says, "is one reason why this is such a freak and tragic accident." The incident so traumatized the people involved, he adds, that they received time off with pay to deal with their grief. None of the six staffers was disciplined, Montgomery says.
Montgomery and Gayle Collins, who heads Cleo Wallace's human resources department and once worked as the center's director of training, both say that the Colorado Department of Social Services has approved the facility's restraint techniques. But an official with the social services department, which licenses Cleo Wallace and similar facilities, contradicts that assertion. The state doesn't approve or disapprove restraint techniques, says licensing administrator Dana Andrews. Instead, the state requires only that treatment centers make available a written description of the restraint methods they use.
Montgomery refers to the restraint technique used on Casey at the center as the "Illinois System," and notes that it was adapted from a method used by the Illinois Department of Mental Health. Spokeswomen for that department, however, say they know of no techniques that call for adults to lie across a patient's body.
"It doesn't sound like any technique we use here," says Ginny Conlee, training administrator for the Illinois Department of Mental Health. "The whole point to these techniques is that you use ones that are safe for staff and patients and are not based on inflicting harm or pain."
"It sounds so dangerous," adds public information director Jo Warfield. "I'd be interested in knowing how our name got attached to it."
William Schiller, who heads the Family Clinic Institute on Disability and Human Development at the University of Illinois at Chicago--and who authored the "aggression management training series" used by the state's mental health department--has the same question. "I don't know where they got this `Illinois' thing," he says. "I can't think of anything where you'd have six people, with three of them laying on someone."
The proper boundaries for the use of physical restraint still stir debate in the psychiatric community, notes Schiller. And, he adds, not only does he not teach face-down restraints, "we try to emphasize not using restraint" at all.
The Westminster Police Department and the Cleo Wallace Center itself launched investigations after Casey's death. Gayle Collins told Detective Lynch that she considered the restraint technique used on Casey appropriate and within the center's policies and procedures. The employees, she noted, had first required Casey to sit out, and then asked him to go to the quiet room before placing their hands on him.
Lynch handed over his investigation into possible charges of criminally negligent homicide to the district attorney's office last month. After reviewing the report, says chief deputy DA Mark Pautler, he and others in his office decided that the Cleo Wallace staffers had "taken the action they felt was necessary at the time." No charges were filed.

About This Project
When I saw these plans I knew I had to make it! I have 2 little girls (3yrs & 18months). I modified mine because I knew they wouldnt be able to hang their dresses back up on the hangers. And I wanted just a little extra storage for other things.

Great modification idea!
I loved the original dress-up cart, but decided not to build because my 3 year old daughter wouldn't be able to hang her dresses back on the hangers, either. I LOVE your hook idea! Now she just might get this cart! Thanks!
nice hooks!

Really great progress. Very impressive and ambitious for DIY. Best of luck and I look forward to seeing your progress. |

Thanks bobinbaltimore ... we are really psyched or psycho depending on how you look at it. My hubby claims this is a really fun project, he's like the energizer bunny, I think after the gunite he can take a slight break. I should mention he is a civil engineer, so he's been over-engineering some of the rebar in my opinion :) Here are the specs: feedback appreciated. Spa 20'x22' Pavilion with kitchen and flat fieldstone fireplace I'm hoping to visit gothic stone next week (I think that was where the jimbar got his travertine...) We are thinking of using flat fieldstone on the raised spa so that it will match the fireplace that will be in the pavilion. Our house is a mix of used brick and wood, and the curved walls will be the same (to match some walls in the front yard), so we were nervous about the type of stone to introduce into the mix ... we think the travertine and flat fieldstone will work .... ? |

Good bye mudhole - Hello pool. This Monday was the coolest day around here - the gunite crew showed up at 7 am and 61 yards later ... we have a pool. I must admit, I was panicked that we might not be ready, as my hubby was out there til 2 am the previous nights still working on installing the plumbing ... quite stressful. It wasn't looking good after I begged him to get the pressure test set up, as immediately he discovered an unglued joint ... he really didn't like admitting that to me and now I'm sharing it with all of you. He was absolutely exhausted and the picture I should have taken, but didn't, was of him asleep on the floor while the gunite crew was shooting the pool ... he called it a power nap, yet it lasted a bit. No worries, the guys took 8 hours so he was up to supervise for most of it. 61 yards - they were generous and charged us for 58 yards (I think thats because they felt guilty about the 10 yards of trimmings they left around the pool) ... hey, that was something we didn't see on other posts, so for other DIYs I would recommend a tarp around the edge to collect that stuff ... now it will be hard to shovel for the trenches. Yes, we have hard dirt filled with rocks, and now gunite. Anyway, most folks seem to like to know costs - gunite was $10,730 not including KFC lunch for 8 hungry gunite guys and some tips. Here's some photos ... let us know what you think. spa plumbing - 18 jets that's hubby on the left watching the crew - can't see the level he was holding all day ... just a prop really. steps to shelf ... added extra step based on comments - thanks the finished product ... we love it! Enjoy ... now we have to shop for the tile and decking .. and oh yeah, he has to finish the plumbing. |
Maybe they do things different there, but I dont see a hartford loop on the air lines. Do you not do this because it is harder to winterize? Seems like you would always lose your air without it. |
- Posted by nypoolnovice (My Page) on Thu, Nov 12, 09 at 22:49
Kelley had mentioned on another thread that the air intakes can whistle, so we're planning on a blower about 50' away on the equipment pad. I assumed that a Hartford loop wouldn't be needed with a blower. When the air lines got wet, the blower would just blow them out. I hope that's right. |
The blower, at that distance will need to be a 2 HP. It must be set at least 24" higher than the level of the pool and should have a lightly spring loaded check valve a foot below the actual unit. If you have the equipment pad below grade, it will have to have it's pipe extended up to the level I mentioned before. From the look of the spa pix, you will need at least 2 blowers for the number of jets and the fact that they are at at different levels. I also see that there are two sets of loops with each set having one air and one water feed. I love that no flex was used. Scott |
- Posted by bobinbaltimore (My Page) on Fri, Nov 13, 09 at 10:00
Really nice job! You must have a lot of patience and tenacity to tackle all that yourself. I'd be fine with plumbing, but the rebar would probably drive me nuts. It's coming together very nicely! |
- Posted by nypoolnovice (My Page) on Fri, Nov 13, 09 at 10:19
scott - thanks for the hints, we really couldn't have gotten this far without this forum and the knowledge that everyone is willing to lend. I know I read on another post that you spent many years in Northern Bergen, we are in Rockland County ... do you know any good plaster guys? We need to get one lined up for spring. bobinbaltimore this project has really become a labor of love for my hubby, (my family calls it an obsession) He's done the other work you see in the photos, the curved walls, the stairs, the fencing and he claims this has been a really 'fun' project. I don't know, watching him do the plumbing and rebar in the dark with spotlights, it didn't seem like much fun, but I have to take him at his word :) The fun for me is getting rid of the mud - I can't wait to see some of the yard start to take shape ... we still have a lot to do before then, and we will be sure to share our progress. thanks for the support it keeps us going. |
I'll have to check with the teams I use if they are willing to go that far. Right now, they are vacationing so I will try text and email and see what the temp is. I don't think it's a problem though. Have you given thoughts to what finish or type of finish you want? Scott |
- Posted by nypoolnovice (My Page) on Fri, Nov 13, 09 at 15:33
Scott, about the blower(s). What we have is 18 jets: So we have 4 levels of Jets. but the difference in head for the back/lower back jets is only 4", and the calf/floor jets is about 8" head difference. I was hoping to use 2 blowers, one for the back/lower bac, and one for the calf/floor. Maybe I would have put an orifice in the line serving jets with lower head, to make sure a fair amount of air went deeper. I was just going to use trial and error with that. Do you think this will work? or will i need 4 blowers for the 4 different levels? Also, we appreciate your advice with the plaster. We haven't decided on a finish, but we don't want to go for the most expensive stuff. Something that looks blue, and a little darker than Caribbean blue. We don't need the latest greatest stuff, but we do want something that will last a while. Could you recommend something? |
You could start with two blowers and two 3way valves to find out how well it works and adjust as needed. |
How many air/water return sets are feeding your loop sets? Scott |
- Posted by nypoolnovice (My Page) on Fri, Nov 13, 09 at 21:57
The upper loop is 8 jets with 2 water (2") and 2 air (1 1/2"). Calf loop is 4 jets with 1 water (2") and 1 air (1 1/2") |
Ah, I didn't see the 3rd set. Two set of drains and two VS-SVRS pumps. Pool pump and 1 blower to the 8 jet set. Booster and second blower to the other two sets. Put a valve actuator on both the air and water lines or add a 3rd blower. I didn't see a spa side controller. An iS10 will give you great control of the pool and spa such as jet selection, lighting, both pumps, heater, etc... I don't know if it will allow speed control. That would be neat though. I will ask Pentair on Monday. Have you decided on the heater yet? IMHO, the Ray Pak or MasterTemp 400K units are your best bet. The Pentair unit will benefit from the extended warranty, not that either is likely to need service. If you plan on heating the pool, put it on the Pool/Spa system. If not, then put it on the booster. You can still get some heat in the pool by running the booster and setting the spa in the spa fill mode. Then all the pool pump's return goes in the spa and spills into the pool. Its not the most efficient, but it works and is an option. Scott |
- Posted by nypoolnovice (My Page) on Sat, Nov 14, 09 at 8:15
Scott, thank you. Yes, we're getting the is10, top mounted on the coping. I had the mud box in there but I thought the elevation was too low so I popped it out while they were finishing the gunite. I had the guys leave a rebate and the 1" conduit is in. You can sort of see the rebate in the second to last pic. On the heater, no decision yet, but I was leaning to the Pentair because I could be sure that it would work seamlessly with the Intellitouch. It seems to be the most expensive though. When the spa is in fill mode, is it best to deliver the flow through the floor jets, or doesn't it matter? We're using the VS--SVRS because in NY a vacuum release is code. Not thrilled about the price. Do you know a more economical solution to satisfy the VR requirement? |
The SVRS is a great pump. Take a verbal, electricity prices will not be going down. Most of the time, the pump will be running at a relatively low speed, usually consuming about 250 watts. At about 2200 RPM, it's pushing about the same as a 2 HP pump for about 1/2 the power use. It also has 8 settable speeds as opposed to 4 for the non SVRS VS model. It's also safer and less expensive than any multi speed and descrete SVRS solution. It will shut itself off if it senses it's running dry or if it senses a blockage. I don't think there is another pump out there that can do this. Where fill mode fills from depends on which loop you plumb it to. I think it would be best to hook the pool pump to the 8 jet set as it will offer the least head loss. When running in pool mode, some water is sent to the spa and the rest is going to the pool. The water to the pool is going to the wall returns or the bubblers is another potential valve actuator location. Turning on the spa booster to the floor jets if they were able to receive pipe extensions, could produce another set of bubblers in the spa. Then at night with the lights on, the effect would be very pretty indeed. Two sets of bubblers, the spillway and the fire pit. I'll bet a couple of different sets of extensions could be made for fountains with different patterns. Just remember, if the spa booster pump is sending water out of the spa in this situation, something needs to replenish the water in the spa or you will empty the spa. The Pentair heater has a smaller foot print and the top, which houses the control pad can be turned to face three of it's four sides (plumbing side is excluded) ensuring the unit can be plumbed to make the most of the available space and ensure easy access. Aesthetically, it'll match the color of the rest of the equipment too. Changing the headers on the Ray Pak (and it's sister the Rheem) only give 2 positions and moving the headers is a pain few installers take the time to do. Just my thoughts. Sorry for rambling.

I used to love this when I was younger, I found the scent so clean, crisp and soothing. But then, it became REALLY popular to the point that 1 out of 3 women I encountered is wearing this, so I decided to try different scents. I gave this a sniff recently and couldn't stand the scent anymore. Oh well.
This fragrance is so refreshing! On me, I smell lemon, tea, and a hint of mint. It only lasts a few hours on me, but it's fairly inexpensive, so I don't mind respraying. It's great to spray when coming inside from a hot summer day.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Very inexpensive, very basic packaging. Smells like Irish Spring Soap on me. Very crisp, very clean, very nice on a summer day. I smell a lot of green, lemon, little bit of mint and soap. It's almost a little bit masculine, but not in a bad way.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Clean smelling, easy to wear, sublte fragrance that does not last. Mid-priced (for me inexpensive) and easy to find.
A nice, light, fresh, clean lemony green tea fragrance. The combo of lemon with green tea tones down the lemon so it's not sharp at all. Great in hot muggy summer weather but also very PC any time -- for office, church, school, medical settings -- anywhere you want to smell fresh and clean without overwhelming anyone. Sheer, airy, clean, uplifting, and refreshing, for sure!
Smell-alikes are Estee Lauder Pure White Linen Light Breeze (lime color), Versace Versense, and Bulgari Green Tea (Eau The Vert). J Lo Still is a fresh, crisp lemon-&-tea fragrance, but it's Earl Grey instead of green tea.
Inexpensive, and can often be found at Marshall's, TJ Maxx, drug & discount stores, and etailers. I think a large 3.4oz bottle of this EDT can be found for only around $18 online.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Fresh, inviting, clean and sparkling. The 3 lippie rating is merely because the fragrance does not last at all past 30 minutes on me. Now I know that fragrances don't last more than a few hours on me normally, but this is ridiculous. The top notes are great, a nice lemony green tea. I don't know what the heart notes are because the fragrance is completely gone before then. I did try The Healing Garden's Green Tea body spray and that has more longevity than that this one. I have 3 other EA Green Tea fragrances and all of them have Eau de Toilette written on the bottle and they last between 1-4 hours. The version of Green Tea that I have just says scent spray. I would be interested in trying the Intense version.
I started using this perfume back in 2000 when I started high school, as it was the only fragrance my mum would allow me to wear. High school long past, sixth form and university complete and I'm still loving it!
So even though it works well for a 12 year old, it doesn't smell childish. I think the clean smell is universal and for a high schooler actually shows maturity. For an adult it gives a feeling of youth, energy, freshness and vitality,
If you want a clean scent that energises this is it. I would liken it the DKNY New York (Woman) but a much less matured/strong citrus.
I love it during the summer when you want to avoid that hot sticky/sickening feeling of other warmer perfumes that tend to give out headaches to all those around you. This has a calming but awakening effect.
I always get compliments on how FRESH and CLEAN I smell when wearing this. It's definitely a good perfume.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
A classy asian fusion twist with this fragrance is genius. I love it for summer or even spring; more of a day wear though, still I myself wear this fragrance at night. I usually apply it on my wrist, near my ears, and yes even near my butt (you'll never know). Since I have a dry skin the chemistry in my body does not have an effect, this is not a perfume so it does not last within 6 hrs (without vigorous work of course). If you love a citrus finish with a green tea twist than this perfect for you for all seasons :).
Top: Lemon
Middle: Jasmine
Base: Oakmoss
I have HORRIBLE allergies that have developed in the last 10 years to any sort of perfume. I've gone to natural scented body oils and powders. Hate it because I LOVED perfume and had a ton Green tea and ice tea were two of my favorites especially during the warmer months. I was cleaning out a drawer and found a new unopened bottle and was just so desperate to try again I opened it and applied a little. No headaches, ichy eyes or sneezing. I was so excited to have at least 1 scent I can still enjoy.
I love the light scent to this anyway but the fact that whatever the notes are make it ok for me to wear.
I don't know if the bottle style has changed I've had problems in the past with the sprayer breaking before I'm through the bottle. Either way oh yeah until my nose tell me otherwise I will buy this again and again!!!

Air Head Composting Toilet or Similar Mfg.
Hello All:
We are refitting the interior of our recently-purchased C&C 36R. The 36R was produced as a "stripped down" racing model with a basic head that discharges straight to the sea--no holding tank. As I have been evaluating the cost of a waste management system (holding tank, pump, hoses, vents, etc.), the composting toilet option compares well from a cost perspective.
Though I have read many testimonials holding such heads in high regard, I am still not convinced that a "waterless" head such as this is the most sanitary option and is truly void of odors. I am hoping those who have experience with the Air Head composting toilet or one of similar manufacture could offer some specifics as to their use. It appears that they use some sort of a filter? How long can they go, reasonably, before needing to be emptied? Are they really sanitary given that there is no water utilized to rinse the bowl?
All thoughts and comments are welcomed.
Thanks! Kermit

Banner Country Club's 18-hole public course rolls across 6,015 yards of Connecticut countryside, challenging golfers of all stripes with diverse, player-friendly terrain. The course's emerald corridors roam through a combination of open pastures and tree-lined areas, letting golfers unsheathe muscular drivers on forgiving holes before forcing them to whisper words of confidence to timid long irons when aiming through arboreal alleys. The picturesque par 72 invites aces to hunt birdies across its relatively short layout, while offering a training ground for club-toting cadets still trying to perfect their swing or wield modified canes as golf clubs.
Course at a Glance:
* 18-hole, par 72 course
* Length of 6,015 yards
* Course rating of 68.9
* Slope rating of 118
The consortium of professional instructors at Fred Astaire Dance Studios, which was cofounded by the legendary toe tapper himself, shepherds students of all ages and skill levels through lessons that span the style spectrum. Low-pressure private sessions allow enthusiastic teachers to fine-tune individual students' techniques and form, using their expert eyes and mechanical dancing shoes preprogrammed to do the Charleston. Patrons can learn how to cavort through classic waltz and fox-trot romps or swivel through the modern steps of salsa, swing, or samba. For dancers hoping to hoof it up in a social setting, the group practice parties provide a one-night extravaganza of instruction, demonstrations, and amateur firewalking.
Bobby Drought and the crew behind Rhody Surf spent 10 years teaching surf lessons for fun in and around Aquidneck Island before coming together to form a business. Today, this group of certified instructors spreads an infectious love of surfing to as many people as possible, not even bothering to establish a traditional brick-and-mortar shop—lessons are either online or at the beach. Their students learn through private or group lessons, mastering simple movements on dry land before hitting the Atlantic's fully customizable waves. Rhody Surf also offers surf camps for children, as well as surfing excursions for individuals visiting on cruise ships.
Bridge to Fitness' staff of body-sculpting instructors and trainers guides gym members in knocking down walls that stand in the way of fitness goals. Membership includes everything from use of the weight-training and cardio equipment to access to all the classes that the gym offers, including calorie-burning affairs such as spinning and group exercise classes, yoga, Pilates, Zumba, and more. With an army of equipment including spin bikes, treadmills, and new elliptical machines, members can get their hearts going during an intense spin session or a fervid treadmill jousting competition with fellow gym comrades.
Crowned the Best Place for Yoga by the Providence Phoenix in 2009, Innerlight Yoga stretches muscles with more than 40 weekly classes and more than 10 yoga disciplines. The newly lit can explore the foundational poses, breathing techniques, and philosophy of Yoga 101 in a spacious wooden studio, learning the basics without the need to trudge to the top of a snowy mountain and ask for advice from a wise but steely-eyed snowman. After gaining techniques, students may go on to burn their inner candle in mindfulness yoga, where meditation and position meld; blaze in heated Vinyasa, where high temperatures energize flowing movement; or smolder in gentle yoga, where the walls support slow transitions.
The three courses presented with today's Groupon allow players to put their long and short games to the test on a selection of the region's finest links, including two that made Golfweek magazine's list of the best courses to play in Connecticut. The Golf Club at Oxford Greens—designed by esteemed architect Mark Mungeam—carves its way through 680 acres of woods west of Naugatuck State Forest to create a memorable 18 holes of play. At the Gary Player-designed Lyman Orchards Player Course, players wind their way through majestic trees, apple orchards, and talking pumpkin patches in a time-honored pursuit of par, and Pete Dye's Wintonbury Hills course challenges divot diggers with a varied combination of tree-lined fairways and links-style open holes. Set against a lush backdrop of rolling forests and manicured greens and situated far from the hustle and bustle of traffic and residential homes, each course's serene surroundings peacefully erase all memory of phrases such as "double bogey," "water hazard," and "eaten by a moose."

El Centro provides you with many opportunities to become a volunteer in the community, all while practicing your Spanish skills.
We are working together with'It Takes a Village Project'.It is a program that uses a collaborative approach to help children in the community who are struggling to read. Children and Elon students who are majoring in Education are paired together for weekly tutoring sessions at May Memorial Library in downtown Burlington. While in an environment rich with available resources, the preservice teachers assess the individual reading challenges of the children and show their parents different techniques they can use at home to help improve reading skills.
Students who come to El Centro can get involved through these programs:
The Village Reading Project: One-on-one instruction for struggling readers (K-8) and parental support in a non-threatening setting.
Science in the Village: Hands-on opportunities for students (K-8) to develop the kinds of understanding and skills necessary to be problem-solvers in a scientific and technological world.
Music in the Village: Students learn the basics of music while using the voice as an instrument. Students also learn instruments, such as piano, guitar and percussion instruments, in addition to receiving an introduction to music technology.
The Village Flex: Addresses academic enhancements for the students (K-9) who have been with the Village Project for awhile and are now above grade level.
The Little Village: Addresses early childhood emergency literacy for children who are ages 3 to 5.
Village Outreach: Adult education ESL/Spanish Language class for parents of our students.
This is a great opportunity to practice and improve your Spanish while helping the community.

Yesterday I spoke at the East Bay WordPress Meetup about onboarding new clients, setting clear expectations, and creating systems.
When I published a post announcing the talk, I received inquiries — through Twitter, Facebook, direct email, and our website contact form — asking if the session would be recorded or if I would be sharing the information.
Clearly this is a topic that many in our community are interested in!
As I shared during my session with Chris Lema in the 2014 WordCamp LA business track, we have spent countless hours creating, refining, testing, and tweaking our own multi-step processes for several different service offerings.
This talk, recapped in detail below, was an overview of the new client onboarding process we use for our custom WordPress web design projects, including:
- What new client onboarding is and why it is critical to the success of the project
- How to create added-value for clients before even getting started
- What components are encompassed in a successful onboarding campaign
- Why setting clear expectations early and often will improve your client relationships
- What most service providers overlook when creating an onboarding process
- How to create your own process and strategies for implementation

High Quality AA and AF
In our High Quality tests we bump the Antialiasing (AA) and Anisotropic Filtering (AF) up causing the card(s) to be put under more load which usually helps us remove the CPU limitation.
We're using 4 x AA and 8 x AF as this is quite a common setup for most people who are venturing into the AA and AF area.
Our high quality test shows the X800GT get extremely far behind the X800GTO.
Even at 1600 x 1200 and 4xAA/8xAF, the X800GTO is able to offer a playable experience while the X800GT you can see clearly suffer.
While the X800GT offers an extremely unplayable environment the X800GTO offers a very borderline one. With a drop to 1280 x 1024 we would be able to utilize AA and AF with a smooth frame rate on the X800GTO.

The Los Angeles Times, the fourth- largest U.S. newspaper, is cutting about 85 newsroom jobs, or 8 percent of the editorial staff, before the end of the year because of rising costs and lagging sales.
Some employees will be offered a separation package while others will be fired, top editor Dean Baquet said today in a memo. The breakdown won't be known until it's clear how many choose to leave, the memo said. Employees have until Nov. 25 to decide.
The cuts mark the second round in two years for the paper, owned by Chicago-based Tribune Co. The New York Times Co. and Knight Ridder Inc. announced job cuts in September. The Los Angeles paper, acquired by Tribune in 2000 as part of its $7.5 billion purchase of Times Mirror Co., has lost readers for five years. Average weekday circulation fell 3.8 percent to 843,432 as of Sept. 30, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations.
Publisher Jeff Johnson told employees in a separate letter job cuts in other departments will be announced within three weeks, spokeswoman Martha Goldstein said in an interview.
Baquet, who took over in August, blamed rising newsprint costs and declining revenue. Baquet replaced John Carroll, who resigned rather than implement cost-cutting measures demanded by Tribune management, according to recent articles in the New Yorker and Los Angeles magazines.
Shares of Tribune, the No. 2 U.S. newspaper publisher behind Gannett Co., fell 33 cents to $32.44 at 4:18 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. They have fallen 23 percent this year.
The Times reported yesterday it will discontinue its Outdoors section on Dec. 6 as a cost-cutting measure.

The spotlight focuses on news, rules and regulations, resource materials and grants related to agriculture in Region 4.
A Regional Dialogue for the Southeast: Agriculture and the Environment
- EPA Region 4 leadership and the State Conservationists from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service met in May 2010. They focused their discussion on five topics:
- Water,
- Land/Soil,
- Air and Pesticides,
- Resource Conservation and Development Councils, and
- Energy for Agriculture.
Both agencies agree that there is commonality between the agencies, now familiarity is the key word! They should have greater familiarity with each others programs and ensure continued communication and follow through be in place to make this happen at all levels of the organizations. Action Items were developed and are currently being discussed by both agencies. An Implementation Plan will be forthcoming.
Perdue Clean Waters Environmental Initiative
- EPA Regions 4 and 3 recently signed the Perdue Clean Waters Environmental Initiative, a Memorandum of Agreement with Perdue Farms Incorporated. The Initiative will help approximately 1,650 independent contract poultry producers growing for Perdue improve their compliance with federal, state and local environmental regulations.
- The flock supervisors are beginning to conduct on-site environmental assessments of all farms growing poultry for Perdue. The assessments will be conducted twice each year to ensure compliance.
Farm, Ranch, and Rural Communities (FRRCC) Federal Advisory Committee
- The FRRCC Advisory Committee has been re-chartered for two additional years. The FRRCC is an independent committee that advises the EPA Administrator on a wide range of environmental issues of importance to agriculture and rural communities. The Administrator recently announced 29 new members.
- The FRRCC (http://www.epa.gov/ocem/frrcc/index.html) held a meeting on September 30-October 1, 2010 in Washington, DC. The meeting focused on water issues related to agriculture. Presentations from the meeting are available at the FRRCC site (http://www.epa.gov/ocem/frrcc/meetings.htm).
Chesapeake Bay
- Guidance for Federal Land Management in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, May 2010
The guide focuses to a considerable extent on newer, more effective approaches to controlling some of the most significant aspects of nonpoint pollution in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Most importantly, it responds to the imperative of implementing in the Chesapeake Bay watershed those "next generation tools and actions" that reflect, in the words of the Executive Order, "a renewed commitment to controlling pollution from all sources as well as protecting and restoring habitat and living resources, conserving lands, and improving management of natural resources, all of which contribute to improved water quality and ecosystem health." Additional information is available at http://www.chesapeakebay.net/.
Conservation Practices Physical Effects (CEAP)
- Conservation Effects of Agriculture Practices (CEAP) is a multi-agency effort to quantify the environmental effects of conservation practices and programs and develop the science base for managing the agricultural landscape for environmental quality. Project findings will be used to guide USDA conservation policy and program development and help conservationists, farmers and ranchers make more informed conservation decisions.
- A June 2010 report released by the USDA, Unprecedented Cropland Study Confirms Conservation Practices Work On Farms in Upper Mississippi River Basin (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/technical/nri/ceap/umrb/index.html), shows that conservation practices installed and applied by agricultural producers on cropland are reducing sediment, nutrient and pesticide losses from farm fields.
Rules and Regulations
- Oil Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Program: Information for Farmers
The goal of the SPCC program is to prevent oil spills into waters of the United States and adjoining shorelines. Oil spills can cause injuries to people and damage to the environment. A key element of this program calls for farmers and other facilities to have an oil spill prevention plan, called an SPCC Plan. These Plans can help farmers prevent oil spills which can damage water resources needed for farming operations. Additional information for farmers is available at this site, http://www.epa.gov/osweroe1/docs/oil/spcc/spccfarms.pdf - Agriculture Regulatory Matrix
(outlines major existing EPA laws and programs that could affect agriculture producers) - Regulations for Animal Feeding Operations for Water Programs
- 2008 Final Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations Rule -
EPA has finalized a rule helping to protect the nation's water quality by requiring concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) to safely manage manure. - Regulations for Animal Feeding Operations for Air Programs
- With EPA oversight, researchers from eight universities will take part in the air emissions monitoring study to measure levels of hydrogen sulfide, particulate matter, ammonia, nitrous oxide volatile organic compounds and other gases from 25 livestock facilities across the nation. Four swine operations and one layer facility are located in Region 4 states. After data analysis, the emission estimating methodologies will be published. Participants will have 120 days to comply with any applicable requirements.

Average Fruit, Terrible Shipping
By: Hanh paradise (Dec 17, 2012)
The Satsuma Mandarins were shipped in an unpadded cardboard box. Many of the fruits were damaged in shipment. The fruits were dry, getting old. They are not that sweet as claimed by this grower. Several were very small - like the size of a key lime. Some fruits were discolored and bad. I will never purchase fruit from this seller again. I much prefer and highly recommend the Orange Shop in Florida.

The level of aggression that Alva introduced in the 70s was in stark contrast to the traditional freestyle-based feel of the era making him instantly stand out amongst other skaters. The prototype modern professional skateboarder and a charismatic character in the documentary Dogtown: The Legend of the Z-boys based on Tony's legendary Venice skate crew, at age 19, Alva shunned the major skate companies to form his own skateboard company, Alva Skates. Alva's company was the first ever run and owned by a skateboarder as well as being one of the first to use layered maple plywood for the skate decks. It was Tony, back in '77, who suggested to Vans founder Paul Van Doren to modify the classic Vans Authentic deck shoe, a favorite among the emerging skate pioneers for its grippy gum rubber waffle outsole, by adding collar padding and a heel cup for support to create the now-classic Vans Era style, the first shoe designed by skaters for skateboarding. Nearly 35 years later and Alva continues to shred, surfing and skating pools almost everyday. When people look up skateboarder in the dictionary, it's Tony Alva's face they should see.
In the last couple of years it was a trip to Santiago, Chile. The country is still so untapped when it comes to skating, surfing and music and the people there are so hungry for it, so the kids are just amped when you're there. The people are super friendly and the countryside is amazing. It's just a really rad place.
AVE. He's so versatile and for how young he is, he's really mature. He has a unique style and he's a really good person overall.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
from Edgar Allan Poe – The Raven on Genius
Poe puts a dark spin on the age-old "Once a upon a time" opening by choosing a bleak midnight as his setting.
The speaker is up late reading old books of lore (bodies of tradition and knowledge, often passed along through word of mouth but in this case recorded in text). This lore is "forgotten," antiquated, odd: already we see that the speaker is an eccentric obsessed with the past.
To help improve the quality of the lyrics, visit "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe and leave a suggestion at the bottom of the page

MPG Office Trust's CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Also in May, we disposed of the City Tower development site located in Orange, California. We received net proceeds from this transaction of $7 million, which will be used for general corporate purposes.
Also in May, a trustee sale was held with respect to Stadium Towers Plaza. As a result of the foreclosure, the company was relieved of a $100 million of debt and received a general release of claims under the loan documents.
In June, 3800 Chapman was cooperatively placed in receivership. We entered into an agreement with the special servicer pursuant to which the company will temporarily remain the title holder of the asset until 3800 Chapman is transferred to another party or there is a completed foreclosure, with a definitive outside exit date of December 31, 2012.
Pursuant to the agreement, we will receive a general release of claims under the loan documents at the time of our exit. Also pursuant to the agreement, we received a release of all claims under the guaranty of partial payment related to the loan in return for a payment by the company of $2 million.
In July, we completed the one-year extension of the mortgage loan on KPMG Tower. The new maturity date is October 2013. The extension required a $35 million principal paydown, reducing the outstanding principal balance of $365 million. We also contributed $5 million to a leasing reserve. A full cash sweep goes into effect in September 2012 for the remaining term of the loan to first fund capital reserves and leasing reserves and then amortize the loan. Also in July, we disposed of Stadium Gateway, a joint venture property of which we owned 20%. We received net proceeds from this transaction of approximately $1 million, including reimbursement of loan reserves which will be used for general corporate purposes.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Gangadhar and his brother Narasaiah run South India's biggest woodcarving unit
Running South India's biggest woodcarving unit, K. Gangadhar is always busy monitoring his crew in a tiny house in this remote municipality.
His eyes are always on perfection in patterns they carve for various customers from all over the country. Born and brought up in an agriculture family, the 53-year-old Gangadhar and his brother Narasaiah are unsung heroes in bringing national reputation for the Kalamkari designs on textiles.
Customers across India and abroad fell in love at first sight with Kalamkari designs because of its incredible and stunning beauty, which speak about an unmatched creativity of the brothers, who are masters in wood block making and carving. "Almost 90 per cent of Kalamkari designs being used in any given material are our brainchild," they claimed.
"We derive the designs from the Indian culture and traditions," said Mr. Gangadhar, who is grooming 12 local youths and six woodcarving artists from Utter Pradesh. While Kalamkari market flourished, there were 20-25 individual wood block makers in Pedana. All of them have now given up the fine art due to falling orders from local Kalamkari textile units.
"Mastering carving the blocks in Bathik designs of Andhra Pradesh, Turban of Rajasthan, Quilt of Maharashtra as well as every traditional design published in 'Textile Arts of India', we always keep ourselves busy," an eighth-class drop-out K. Gangadhar told The Hindu.
Learning to carve
They do not have local orders for the last two-years, says K. Narasaiah, but people from across Indian states are rushing to the place to get a block carved as per their desired style. All the 18 co-workers in this unit are now in learning carving the designs drawn by the brothers on 'Teak wood'.
An exquisite Kalamakari art, carved in the shape of Kuja, won the President of India's national award and they were recognised as the best woodcarving artists-2002. A few businessmen from various Indian cities have been tempting the duo to sell them the piece, but they have denied. When love for art and hard work comes together their fight for survival, they produce such masterpieces like Kuja and Mango.
They do not want to put these works on sale ever, said Mr. Narasaiah.

I recently received an email from a writer who suggested I devote a column to answering writers' questions — starting, naturally, with his. I thought this was a great idea (thanks, Jerry!), and I'm looking forward to receiving your questions.
Please send all questions (on writing, publishing, grammar, and all other things writing-related) through this form on my web site. I won't claim to have all the answers, but whenever I don't, I will point you in the direction of someone who does.
So here is our first official "Ask Midge" column…
Q: How does a writer make the narrator sound like a juvenile without making the writing sound juvenile? — Jerry Guern, San Diego
A: Voice is one of the biggest challenges for writers, especially when tackling a voice that's very different from one's own. And it's especially important, as Jerry is realizing, to make sure the writing itself is separate from the character, i.e., that the character can sound like a child without the writing sounding childish.
First, I suggest getting to know the character well, as sometimes this is the problem. If you're writing from the POV of a juvenile, for example, make sure you're seeing the world from this character's eyes; try living in this character's head as much as you can while you're writing, as if you're an actor playing a role. Our sense of a character's age comes from the way he/she sees the world: a teenager will look at something very differently from the way a six-year-old would, or a thirty-year-old, or an eighty-year-old — so think about how your character (from the POV of age as well as his/her unique history) sees what happens around him/her, and describe it in detail. Everything that your reader perceives will come through the details.
Second, choose a POV that fits well what you're trying to get across in the story — i.e., do you want an intimate, first-person POV (think Catcher in the Rye), or a more distant voice (if the kid is much younger, for example, you may find it easier to use third person to get across things that a child may sense but not be able to articulate in his/her own voice)?
Third, think of your audience — it's often challenging to create a young voice that appeals to adult audiences, and this appeal (or lack thereof) will depend not only on the voice but on the story itself. There are always exceptions, clearly (not only Catcher in the Rye but books such as The Lovely Bones and the entire Harry Potter series). So try taking an objective look at your story; you may find that if your writing doesn't sound adult, perhaps your story's audience isn't meant to be adult. And if it is, we're back to POV: third person might be best, as you don't need to limit your vocabulary as much as in the first person voice.
Also, read as much as you can in the POV you're going for — this will help you get a feel for what works well. As you read, consider the ways in which these writers succeed in making their characters vivid while at the same time giving them authentic voices.
And finally, make use of a writing partner or writing group to help you judge how well you've succeeded. Ask, for example, how old your group thinks your character is, and see how this feedback helps you find that perfect pitch.
Happy writing!

April 3 2014, Ward Clayton
A quick look at this week's Kraft Nabisco Championship:
- Void at the top: None of the top four players in the world – No. 1 Inbee Park, No. 2 Suzann Pettersen, No. 3 Stacy Lewis and No. 4 Lydia Ko – have won on the LPGA this season. Similarly, none of the top three on the men's side in the Official World Golf Ranking – No. 1 Tiger Woods, No. 2 Adam Scott and No. 3 Henrik Stenson – have won on the PGA Tour this year.
- No joke: Tuesday was April Fool's Day, but it wasn't funny for two of the top players in the world. No. 2 Suzann Pettersen withdrew from the Kraft Nabisco because of an "aggravated disc" in her back. Similarly, Tiger Woods announced he will miss next week's Masters after undergoing back surgery on Monday.
- Only one player has repeated as the Kraft Nabisco champion, Annika Sorenstam in 2001 and 2002.
- Usually, the LPGA begins its tournament by pairing in threesomes. This week, the pairings are in twosomes. Defending champion Inbee Park and 2012 champion Sun Young Yoo, both from South Korea, are paired in the first two rounds.
- The LPGA's only multiple winners this season, Karrie Webb and Anna Nordqvist, have some of the best Kraft Nabisco records in this week's field. Webb has 11 top-10 finishes in 18 career starts, including two wins. Nordqvist has three top-10s in four starts.
- The United States overtook South Korea for the top seed in the International Crown last week. The U.S. also is the only country with three players ranked in the top 10 – Lewis, No. 8 Paula Creamer and No. 9 Lexi Thompson.
- Juli Inkster is in this week's field, 30 years after winning the tournament as a rookie. She has missed the cut each of the past two weeks.
- The Golf Channel will have 20 hours of live coverage Thursday through Sunday, including bookend coverage (noon-3 p.m. and 6-9 p.m. EDT) in the first two rounds around the PGA Tour's Shell Houston Open.
- The Kraft Nabisco field has 112 players, 10 of whom are amateurs.

If you are a fan of the excellence found at Casablanca, then you'll definitely appreciate their next evolution as La Spezia Restaurant in Old Koala Town (next to Big Save) where they originally started in 2000. Same great food, service, and personal attention.
Well we found it! We waited a long time to go on vacation on the island of Kauai. The whole time I was there I was searching for the perfect place to take my wife for a beautiful dinner. I was told of several places and we tired them, but when I was told about this little diamond in the... More
The food was good and filling, But I really really liked the music. Local style great for listening or hanging out and enjoying the company you keep. This is fun.
fair food but now closed and the owner is opening a deli in Koloa which will serve breakfast and dinner. This is the old location before they moved to the tennis courts.
Nestled back off the main drag in Poipu behind the Kiahuna tennis courts, Casablanca gives an intimate bistro atmosphere. Staff are friendly and attentive. Absolutely fab service. Adore bartender Matty. The food is outstanding. They've even special ordered my favorite rum. If you want great Italian food, outstanding cocktails, and an intimate atmosphere just a stagger away from anywhere in... More
We started out with Casablanca's happy hour. Best happy hour in Poipu. Our dinner was very good. The menu is more interesting than most places here. The food was well prepared. Our server was okay but she was tending a large group plus several tables. She needed help. But that aside, it was a good night out.
On the suggestion of our host at The Kauai Beach Inn, we headed to Casablanca for dinner and music on our last night on Kauai. We were not disappointed. The appetizer and entrees were beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. Fresh, interesting combinations made for a dinner above and beyond what we had anticipated. A $30 bottle of wine and a... More
My wife and I frequently dine here. The Mediterranean cuisine dishes, be it soups, appetizers, or entrees are always flavorful, the service very good, and the atmosphere casual and relaxing. Drinks and desserts, plus the live music of the accomplished "Aloha Man" Mike Young all add to our enjoyment.
We went to the New Years Eve "festival" at Poipu Beach and that was a dud. So what to do? We went to Casablanca, they said they were booked but we could sit at the bar. If you look at my profile you can see that we are not "bar people" but we did that. And it was a fantastic... More

I have a large room on the 2nd floor, with huge west facing windows. The windows are old, cracked, and need to be replaced. Unfortunately, that is a multi-thousand dollar project that I won't be able to take on soon. I have installed sun-blocking shades on the inside of the room, and this has helped a bit, but the room still gets very hot in the afternoon. I measured the temperature of the shades, and they get to 110+ degrees during the summer. I'm thinking I need to install something on the outside, but they need to be controlled from the inside of the house, since it's on the 2nd floor. Anyone have any suggestions? I can't seem to find something that would work well. Thanks! |
