Robert Evans' rise from second-string actor (who really was discovered while lounging by the pool at the Beverly Hills Hotel) to head of one of Hollywood's biggest movie studios is told from the viewpoint of Evans himself in this… More Robert Evans' rise from second-string actor (who really was discovered while lounging by the pool at the Beverly Hills Hotel) to head of one of Hollywood's biggest movie studios is told from the viewpoint of Evans himself in this documentary, adapted from his autobiography (and featuring Evans' own narration). In 1957, Evans had already achieved success in the garment business when actress Norma Shearer spotting him at poolside and suggested he should play her late husband, legendary producer Irving Thalberg, in the movie Man of a Thousand Faces. While Evans knew he wasn't cut out to be an actor, he discovered he liked the movie business, and after becoming a film industry executive, Evans was named head of production at Paramount in the late '60s. Under Evans' leadership, Paramount produced such classics as Rosemary's Baby, Love Story, and The Godfather. He also married actress Ali McGraw; however, McGraw left Evans for Steve McQueen after they starred together in The Getaway. After leaving Paramount to become a producer (and racking up hits like Chinatown and Marathon Man), Evans' golden touch began to elude him; an arrest for drugs seemed to put an end to his career, until he made a comeback as a freelance producer in the 1990s on such films as Sliver and The Saint. Part of the narration for The Kid Stays in the Picture was drawn from the book-on-tape version of Robert Evans' autobiography of the same name, which featured Evans reading his own work; the audio book has developed a cult following of its own, and legend has it Dustin Hoffman based his performance in Wag The Dog on Evans' reading style on the tape. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Following the House's approval of the Water Resources Reform and Development Act last week, three conference committees will spend this week attempting negotiate compromise language. The Senate passed its counterpart in May. If a compromise agreement is met, it will be the first time since 2007 that a water infrastructure bill has been passed. The White House released a statement of administration policy on Wednesday, saying it will recommend that the president sign the final bill.
Two other conference committees will hold their first meetings on Wednesday. The Farm Bill Conference Committee will begin trying to resolve differences surrounding the House- and Senate-passed versions of the Farm Bill. Funding for food stamps and aid to farm producers remain the major points of contention. The same day, the FY14 budget conference committee will meet.
In the Senate, a third version of Shaheen-Portman (currently S. 1392 and previously S. 761) is nearing introduction. The first two versions were overwhelmed by germane and non-germane amendments. Potential amendments for the third version include:
While the current vote tally is uncertain, many agree the 60-vote threshold is needed to spur Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) to move the bill. House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) said October 25 that he would take up Shaheen-Portman if the Senate passed the bill soon.

Hi Everybody! Just bought a E 20 totaly stripped down inside and out. trying to redesign the cabin. It came with the Mast and Boom but no hardware. not really sure how to procede. can anyone help? I'm used to power boats and have never sailed. trying to figure things out as I go...
Welcome to Sailnet SKlem!
How to procede? Well that is a pretty broad question.
I would suggest starting a thread in the "Gear and Maintenance" section saying something like, "Where to start on my stripped down Ensenada 20?". I would also include what you intend to use the boat for. Daysails? Overnighter?
Do you need sails?
Does it need any fiberglassing or structural work done to it?
Do you have the JUST the mast and boom or do you have all the rigging also?
Giving as much information about the boat will help everyone guide you in the right direction.
My Hole in the Water
Ok so now for more information!! My ( New to Me ) E 20 is an empty hull, everything has been stripted out of her. bunks, cieling, all wood, wiring, cabinets, mast support, ect... there is nothing left to make templates out of. Which may be a good thing. I can redesign the interier to suit my needs. paint inside and out, top to bottom. glass work. topside is weathered. cracks need to be filled. bow rail's bent. no pullies, turn buckels, needs new ropes. I do have the sails, main and jib, they appear to be in good working order. I wish to use her for weekend live abourd outings, fishing, and sailing on my 2 week vacations, shed needs to be rigged for single handeling cuz it'll be just me doing the sailing. I'm 5'5" so I'm not to worried about the head room. I've done paint and body work in the past so I plan on doing everything myself. also I'm trying to refit her on a very tight budget.
hope this helps!!
Tried to PM you but haven't got enough posts :(. How is the refit doing? I'm about to start an interior refit myself and was in search of ideas. Cabin layout in mine makes a lot of sense for what your thinking of doing, let me know if you want some pics before I tear it out.
Sounds like you have a lot of work to do, but it'll be fun!! My husband and I are hoping to find a boat in good sailing condition that we can fix up also. Post some pics of your progress when you get a chance!

China Pharma Holdings, Inc. Announces SFDA Approval for Rosuvastatin Clinical Trials
Holdings, Inc. ("China Pharma") (OTC Bulletin Board: CPHI), which develops,
manufactures, and markets specialty pharmaceutical products in
announced that it has received official approval from
Drug Administration ("SFDA") to enter Phase I and Phase II clinical trials to
test the efficacy of its cholesterol-lowering drug, Rosuvastatin. The Company
plans to begin the trials in the first half of 2009, and estimates that it
will receive a production license by the end of 2010.
Rosuvastatin is the generic version of Crestor(R), which is deemed one of
the most potent cholesterol-lowering medicines available and has been shown to
significantly reduce LDL cholesterol (so-called "bad cholesterol"). The use of
Crestor(R) has translated into a 60% decrease in the number of cardiac events
(heart attack, sudden cardiac death) and a 17% reduction in the risk of
stroke(1). Crestor(R), discovered and developed by Shionogi & Co., Ltd., was
first launched in
Crestor(R) exceeded
China Pharma's CEO and President, Ms.
pleased that the SFDA has approved China Pharma to pursue clinical trials for
Rosuvastatin. Hyperlipidemia and high blood cholesterol are becoming serious
problems as a result of aging in the Chinese population, as well as due to
significant changes in dietary structure and lifestyle. In
prevalence of hyperlipidemia is estimated at 7% to 8% of the population, and
at least an additional 100 million people require treatment to control high
cholesterol levels. Rosuvastatin is a well known statin product which has
shown favorable results in international clinical comparisons with other
leading statins, such as Atorvastatin (Lipitor(R)), Pravastatin and
Simvastatin(3). We anticipate that Rosuvastatin will greatly help to meet the
medical needs of Chinese patients suffering from hyperlipidemia and requiring
medicine to control cholesterol."
Ms. Li continued, "China Pharma is experienced in bringing world leading
medicines to the Chinese market. We believe that Rosuvastatin provides us with
an exciting opportunity to extend our product portfolio, and expect it to
create value for patients and our shareholders over time."

Product Data
|Weight (g):
|Wheel Size:
|700c (622)
|Rim Depth:
This full carbon wheelset comes complete with a set of Shimano brake pads and their very own rim tape, which you must use. The wheelset also has a rider weight limit of 90kg max.
Please read the Wiggle review of the Saturae C50 wheelset written by a member of staff.
Saturae understand that different riders are looking for different things, their aero-optimised 50mm deep rim shape will benefit the TT rider or road racer in competition. But if your challenge is that epic Gran Fondo or Sportive then the C50 will suit you too. The aero benefits will allow you to make the most of your energy and the ride quality that only comes from a handbuilt wheel makes the C50 a truly comfortable wheelset too.
They also combined a lightweight magnesium alloy hub shell with their own roller bearing system. Saturae call it the FONA system and their rollers are sealed against the elements and unlike traditional cartridge bearings the smoothness means they feel like your floating on air.
Quality Assured
Everything that goes into the C50 wheelset is built in-house at their facility. From the carbon lay-up to the molding and finishing to the spoke lacing and final hand torquing. Unlike the competition every step of this process is built the artisan way by wheel builders. Saturae don't use automated processes or mass-production wheel building machines.

Magazine reviews for Saturae C50 Full Carbon Clincher Wheelset
Review from Cycling Plus
Saturae is a new name to the market, and if these great value full-carbon aero clinchers are anything to go by, this British brand is a welcome arrival.
The C50 rim is 50mm deep and a 'modern' 22mm wide, with a tapered shape but with a blunted leading edge on the inner.
The brake track, often the Achilles heel in full-carbon rims, is specially developed and finished to increase and speed up heat dissipation. Saturae has also specified a special high-heat-resistant rim tape to protect the innertube.
The C50s are fully assembled and stressed and trued by hand, and each comes with a QC passport number, which even details individual spoke tensions. That means Saturae can offer a warranty and quick crash replacement service. Home mechanics will also be happy that Saturae uses off-the-peg DT Swiss spokes and external spoke nipples on the rim's inner edge, so no special tools are needed.
Out on the road they feel stiff and flex free, the front wheel particularly impressive thanks in part to the wide-flanged hub that creates a nicely triangulated shape yet still allows the low spoke-count radial lacing.
At 1678g for our test pair (claimed 1650g) they aren't as light as the likes of Mavic, Fulcrum, Zipp, Reynolds or Enve - but then the Saturaes are only a fraction of the price. And like all good aero designs, once wound up to speed the C50s do a great job of holding onto it.
Braking is good using the supplied Shimano Dura-Ace carbon-specific pads; in the dry they aren't grabby or noisy and it's easy to regulate your speed without the rim snatching, though performance tails off a little in the wet, taking a bit more time to clear moisture before the brakes start to scrub speed.
We've used them in all weathers and on plenty of surfaces, even some excursions onto hard-packed dirt, and we have to say these are made of tough stuff. The build quality is excellent and they've stayed true and evenly tensioned throughout the test.
In strong crosswinds you can feel the effect on the tall rims, but there's none of the violent snapping you'd get from older V-shaped designs; it's reasonably even pressure that's easy to counter.
In conclusion...
Great value carbon clinchers with real performance benefits.
HIGHS Price, build quality, speed
LOWS Wet weather braking just okay

I have bought Epson printers the last 10 years and have yet to run into a problem. For the money they can't be beat. They are easy to use with great print quality when using for documents or photos
If you follow the instructions there is no problem hooking up and setting up this printer. So far it has done a great job for me. I haven't printed any photos yet but from the job it has done on text and pictures, the photos will be great too. Thanks Charlie Foley
I just finished an easy installation. I printed three documents with ease as well. Yes, the printer is noisy, but I can tolerate that as long as it performs as well as it just did. We will see how long the inks last. Colors are crisp and clear. Very little lag between initiating "print" and actually starting to print. I would purchase it again. Plus good delivery time.
Although the printer hasn't failed me yet, if left alone for the weekend it prints funny. The lines are off, and some areas just don't print, until you clean the heads. It's also noisy. When printing, it lets you know it's definitely printing. The print may only need black, but if the other colors are empty, it won't print. All and all a cheap printer, but has a few faults. Not all around friendly.
This is the easiest setup. The print quality for basic data printing is excellent. The quality for photo's just falls short of perfect. I do recommend this printer for everyday use. I would not recommend this printer for anyone who wants high quality or professional level photos.

BBC journalist Zarghuna Kargar, who grew up in Afghanistan, is making waves with her documentary Our World: The War Widows of Afghanistan. As the daughter of a government official, she had a privileged childhood in a war-torn country, but says her strongest memory is of rocket attacks and how life was only about survival.
Kargar left Afghanistan at the age of 11, stayed for a few years in Pakistan, and was 18 when her family took asylum in UK. "I grew up as a woman and a feminist in UK," says the 32-year-old, popularly known as Zari. Her radio show, BBC's Afghan Woman's Hour, which highlighted the plight of Afghan women, had a successful six-year run from 2004 to 2010.
Zari, who lives in East Midlands with her second husband, also published a bestselling book, Dear Zari, in 2012. In it, she chronicled the lives of the women whose life stories she had unravelled in her weekly radio programme. "I found a connection with all these women. I both cried and laughed with them and felt the world needed to know these stories. I met a publisher, and it took me three years to finish the project," she says.
The film
Zari's documentary shows how much women – both British and Afghan – widowed due to the Afghanistan war have suffered. It all started with Zari meeting Mukti Jain Campion, founder of Culture Wise, an independent company which produces documentaries for BBC Radio. at her book event. Mukti liked the idea and went on to produce the radio version. "The idea was pitched in March 2013 to BBC Our World and here we are today," she says.
Although the women's husbands fought on the same side against the Taliban, their experiences of widowhood are dramatically different. Widows in conservative Afghan society are almost powerless. And for some, losing their husband translates to abject poverty. Despite their differences, the British and Afghan women all tell of love, loss and hopes for the future. "In many ways it's hard to compare experiences of
British and Afghan widows. But as Marzia, one of the woman in the film says, they have both lost the men they loved," shares Zari.
The film highlights the poverty, lack of security and traditions that are imposed on widows. There are two million Afghan war widows, according to one estimate.
"Presenting this film has been a very intimate experience for me. When Mehrjan (one of the featured widows) told me that no one had asked her how she feels, it made me feel proud that I did this. I feel privileged to be the voice that shares her story and those of all others," says Zari.
"Another woman in the film says, 'they think widows are like a pot without a lid'. What a strong and telling sentence that is! I have come across this statement so many times during my reporting on widows for Afghan Woman's Hour and it breaks my heart to hear it again and again, and to see that things haven't changed much for widows in my country," she adds.
Love and life
Kargar speaks openly about the failure of her arranged marriage, which lasted only three years, both in her book and otherwise. She believes arranged marriages are outdated and wrong. "I got engaged to a distant relative at 16 and went ahead with it because it was expected of me as an Afghan woman and I didn't want to rebel. I think people should have the freedom to choose, whether it is a marriage or other things in life," she says.
What next?
Zari now plans to write a fiction book based on the life of Afghan girls who got married during the Taliban regime. "I don't know how long it will take as I have a full-time job, but I am going to do it," she says. She also wants to work on another film about the role of Pashtun women in song and dance.

Direct mail spend predicted to fall 1% this year
By Daniel Farey-Jones, brandrepublic.com, Thursday, 12 April 2012 02:14PM
Spending on direct mail is predicted to fall 1% to £1.71bn in 2012, according to the latest figures from the Advertising Association/WARC.
The figures are based on data from Royal Mail, which has recently broadened its definition of direct mail and changed the method it uses for estimating the average cost of each mailed item.
The AA/WARC headline prediction of an 18.4% rise in direct mail spend this year is based on the difference between 2012 figures defined on the new more generous basis, and 2011 figures defined on the former basis.
However, on a like-for-like comparison with 2011, the 2012 prediction is for a drop of "approximately" 1%, according to WARC data editor Suzy Young.
Royal Mail's broader definition includes items such as unrequested catalogues/brochures and vouchers/money-off coupons. WARC believes this change, combined with the change to the estimate of the average costs of each mailed item, will produce an increase in direct mail expenditure by about 20%.
Charles Ping, strategy director at Communisis, said: "Whilst the change to the definition is logical and aligns spend to a Royal Mail wholesale product it will mask the impact of year on year price increases. That needs to be measured carefully and I'd hope that Ofcom will be mindful of the need."
The prediction for overall adspend growth this year, excluding direct mail, is 3.8%.
The figures also show that in 2011 direct mail expenditure grew 1% to £1.73bn, after growing 1.5% in the previous year.
Overall spend on advertising rose 2.7% in 2011 to £16.1bn, with the internet up 16.8% to £4.78bn, and press down 8.4% to £3.95bn.
Royal Mail has claimed that in the half year ended 25 September 2011, its UK letter volumes dropped 6%.

Making Lemon-aid
Republican politicians in the United States are hellbent on axing international development assistance. But Congress's budget-cutting mania might actually improve it in other ways.
- By Charles Kenny<p> Charles Kenny is a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development, a Schwartz fellow at the New America Foundation, and author, most recently, of Getting Better: Why Global Development Is Succeeding and How We Can Improve the World Even More. "The Optimist," his column for Foreign Policy, runs weekly. </p>
When the G-20 met in Cannes last week, protesters naked but for green Robin Hood caps gathered elsewhere on the French Riviera to demand a financial transactions tax — a payment made on each bond or stock purchase, which in theory would tame the excesses of banks and hedge funds and claw back some of the costs of the mess they have made of the global economy. The protesters might have been surprised to hear that inside the G-20 meeting, a fully clothed Bill Gates was suggesting exactly the same thing.
In a break from their regularly scheduled hand-wringing over the state of global financial markets, world leaders listened to Gates's suggestions for public financing of global development in what Gates admitted was a tough environment for aid funding. He suggested that a financial transactions tax, alongside additional taxes on tobacco and carbon, could be used to help rich countries meet a global target of committing 0.7 percent of GDP to development aid. He suggested that aid "is a small investment that generates a huge return" and that such investments were precisely the ones that should be spared during cuts. Nevertheless, as the G-20 met, the charity group Oxfam was predicting that aid funding was likely to fall by nearly $10 billion in 2012, the biggest decline in 15 years.
The outlook is particularly grim in the United States, where traditional aid is on the congressional chopping block — 165 House Republicans want to close down the U.S. Agency for International Development altogether — and the new financing ideas Gates has proposed appear to be non-starters. U.S. representatives at the G-20 meeting balked at the idea of a financial transactions tax, arguing instead for a "financial crisis responsibility fee" that would tax liabilities of the largest financial institutions to repay the costs of the Troubled Assets Relief Program. Meanwhile, the new trade treaty the United States has signed with Colombia zeros out tariffs on U.S. tobacco imports — not quite the fiscal direction Gates was proposing for tobacco taxes. And of course, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has yet to use its authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.
The good news is that the United States (and, for that matter, everyone else) could be doing a lot more for development without spending more money — and in some cases even saving it. Congress could cut the aid cake but make what's left far more appetizing — and the United States could take baby steps toward trade and immigration reform that would help poor people lift themselves out of poverty. There might even be the votes on Capitol Hill to do it.
As Gates emphasizes, focus and selectivity are key to improving development aid. A lot of aid goes to comparatively rich countries, and a lot of it is still tied to purchasing goods and services in the donor country. And the aid process can be immensely inefficient. Back in 2005, the club of donor countries called the Development Assistance Committee met in Paris to agree on five principles to make aid more effective, along with 13 targets to help meet those principles by 2010 — things like making sure aid is actually part of the budget process in developing countries, rather than an uncoordinated add-on, and trying to focus donor efforts so that each ministry in a developing country isn't dealing with 40 different aid agencies each giving a sliver of cash. By 2010, donor countries had managed to meet only one of the 13 targets — the one that involved talking to each other more. In times of strapped resources, one way rich countries could improve aid's bang for the buck would be to work on meeting some of the other 12. For the United States in particular, just two reforms — ending the requirement that three-quarters of U.S. food aid must travel on U.S.-flagged ships and buying more food in local markets — would considerably increase the impact of aid while saving around $400 million a year.
Beyond public and private finance, the Commitment to Development Index (CDI) compiled by the Center for Global Development (where I am a fellow) suggests that rich countries could do better by improving their policies in other areas that profoundly affect global development: trade and migration. Rich countries could help poor countries trade their way to wealth by cutting agricultural subsidies, which tip the playing field against farmers in the developing world. CDI estimates suggest these subsidies amount to a little over $100 billion a year in the United States and a similar amount in the European Union. Divert just four years' worth of EU agricultural subsidies to pay off pretty much all of Greece's public debt, and we could stave off a second global financial crisis while helping some of the world's poorest people all at the same time.
In the United States, this kind of subsidy trimming has long been a political taboo — but in a season of obsessive budget-cutting, it may no longer be. During negotiations over the deficit in July, the While House and Congress were close to agreeing on agriculture subsidy cuts worth around $35 billion over 10 years, and nearly $5 billion in direct payments to farmers may be cut in the 2012 farm bill.
And then, of course, there's migration. The CDI reports that migration from poor countries to the United States each year amounts to one-third of 1 percent of the U.S. population — that puts it in 15th place out of 22 rich countries. So much for "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses." Yet it is increasingly clear that the movement of people is a considerable boon to the economies of both origin and destination countries. So more open borders are another area where rich countries including the United States could benefit considerably from greater generosity to the world's poorest. Even on this contentious issue, there are signs of some movement on Capitol Hill toward immigration reform, as members of Congress hear from farmers whose crops are rotting in fields as supplies of undocumented labor dry up and firms who can't find skilled applicants for their jobs. Republican Sen. Marco Rubio has suggested new visa programs for both high-skilled and agricultural workers, for example. And presidential candidate Mitt Romney has called for a green card to be stapled to the front of every college diploma awarded to a foreigner.
With the United States busy beating a retreat on global leadership in development finance, perhaps the rest of the world can use some of Gates's proposals to fill that hole. But for better or worse, cuts to farm subsidies and perhaps even progress on immigration — however difficult to imagine — are far more plausible policy aims in the current environment in Washington than an expansion of aid spending. Focusing on these things may not satisfy the naked protesters, but it would still help address some of the problems of the world's poor.

Pujols' Homer in 19th Lifts Angels Over Red Sox 5-4
By Tricia Ennis - email

August 10th, 2014
By JOE RESNICK
Associated Press
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Albert Pujols homered leading off the 19th inning, and the Los Angeles Angels outlasted the Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Saturday night in the longest game in the major leagues this season.
Pujols' 514th career homer and 22nd of the season came on a 3-2 pitch from Brandon Workman (1-6). The towering drive disappeared into the seats above the 18-foot wall in right-center.
Boston manager John Farrell made a replay challenge, claiming there was fan interference, but the home run stood.
The Angels had run out of relievers, so Matt Shoemaker (10-4 came in and retired all nine batters he faced to get the victory.
The Angels tied the game in both the eighth and 14th innings.

The initiative would have:[1]
- Required changes to health insurance rates, or anything else affecting the charges associated with health insurance, to be approved by the California Insurance Commissioner before taking effect.
- Provided for public notice, disclosure, and hearing on health insurance rate changes, and subsequent judicial review.
- Required sworn statement by health insurer as to accuracy of information submitted to Insurance Commissioner to justify rate changes.
- Exempted employer large group health plans under any circumstances.
- Prohibited health, auto, and homeowners insurers from determining policy eligibility or rates based on lack of prior coverage or credit history.
Overall, the initiative would have imposed on the health insurance rate regulation system what Proposition 103 (1988) imposed on automobile and homeowners insurance.[2]
Supporters refered to the initiative as the Insurance Rate Public Justification and Accountability Act.[3]
Its sponsors originally hoped to qualify their measure for the November 6, 2012, ballot. They submitted over 800,000 signatures on May 18, 2012.[4] On June 28, it became evident that election officials would not have adequate time to scrutinize the signatures for validity in time for placement on the November 6, 2012, ballot. On August 23, 2012, it was announced that the measure had qualified for the 2014 ballot.[5]

A Consumer Watchdog video, titled "California Nurses Say YES to Prop 45."
Jamie Court, President of Consumer Watchdog and author of Proposition 45, argued, "We all have to buy health insurance under the law, but no government agency has the power to guarantee insurance is affordable." According to Court, healthcare is too costly for the average person in California. He continued:
|... Four health insurance companies, which control 84% of the California market, are spending tens of millions of dollars to convince voters they have it so good that the state doesn't need Proposition 45. The November ballot measure would simply give the insurance commissioner the right to reject excessive health insurance rates.
Covered California, the government health insurance pool — which insurance industry advertising against Proposition 45 refers to as "the independent commission" — is spending tens of millions of taxpayer dollars too. Its advertising showcases satisfied policyholders touting their affordable health insurance ahead of November's open enrollment period and the election.
The reality for many people forced to buy insurance under the government mandate is radically different: high premiums and too few doctors in their networks.
In a Field Poll released in August, Californians expressed strong support for the Affordable Care Act but complained of the high cost of health insurance premiums...
Covered California touts the insurance companies as its "plan partners." Many consultants hired to create the pool and its key staff have been employees at the health insurance companies. That includes key staff members who help the Covered California board negotiate contracts with the companies behind closed doors.
Collaboration may be good in marketing a product, but it's not what consumers need to ensure that they don't get ripped off by insurance companies that can set any price on their policies.
Thirty-five other states require health insurance companies to get approval before raising rates, but not California. Proposition 45 gives the elected insurance commissioner the power to reject excessive rates. And that's what Covered California and the insurance industry seem to fear...
We all have to buy health insurance under the law, but no government agency has the power to guarantee insurance is affordable.
Those who believe Covered California can use the carrot of negotiation to keep rates low don't understand how insurance companies work when they have huge market power and no one with the stick to stop them.
Over the years, California's elected insurance commissioners — who are accountable directly to the voters who created the office in 1988 — have kept auto, home and business insurance rates affordable because they had the power to reject excessive rates in those industries. Commissioners — Republican and Democrat alike — have kept auto insurance rates, for example, lower in real dollars than they were 25 years ago, the only state with that record. And despite claims in insurance industry advertising against Proposition 45, no insurance commissioner has taken insurance industry contributions since 2002...
These Californians deserve Proposition 45's guarantee that an elected official be able to publicly review and say no to excessive rates.[7]
—Jamie Court[16]
Other arguments in support of Proposition 45 included:
- Harvey Rosenfield said, "Premiums are going through the roof. A lot of people can't get health insurance at any price. Benefits are going down. Company CEOs are getting rich."[17]
- Dr. Mohammad Gharavi, a heart and lung surgeon in Thousand Oaks, argued, "If I had a choice of insurance companies controlling it or the government controlling it, I'd rather have the government."[18]

Californians Against Higher Health Care Costs issued a "Get the Facts" sheet detailing their reasons for opposing Proposition 45. The sheet read:
A special interest group is sponsoring an initiative on the November 2014 ballot that gives ONE POLITICIAN new power over our health care – including our co-pays, deductibles and even the treatment options our health insurance covers.
We all want to control health care costs – that's why California has a new independent commission with the authority to negotiate rates with health plans and reject them if they're too expensive. We should give this commission a chance to work, NOT give more power to a politician who can take campaign contributions from special interests.
This flawed, deceptive measure will just increase costs for consumers and harm the quality of our health care.
—Californians Against Higher Health Care Costs [22]
A Californians Against Higher Health Care Costs video, titled "Clear Choice — Dr. Marshall Morgan."
Other arguments in opposition to the initiative included:
- Patrick Johnston, president of the California Association of Health Plans, said the initiative would create "misguided, onerous rate regulation" that would harm consumers.[9]
- James T. Hay, president of the California Medical Association, stated, "This misguided measure will cause higher rates and lessen access to care, which is why doctors, hospitals and healthcare providers oppose this measure."[23]
- Dr. Paul Phinney, a Sacramento pediatrician, said, "They're gambling that people will submit a knee-jerk vote and create a program that will be a cash cow for consumer attorneys."[18]
- Supporters of Covered California argued that the initiative was unnecessary because the Affordable Care Act, also known as "Obamacare," already imposed new rules to protect consumers. Susan Kennedy, a board member, said the initiative could damage healthcare reform in California "permanently, perhaps fatally." She continued, "Even under the best-case scenario, enactment of this measure significantly complicates Covered California's ability to enact healthcare reform. I just think it's the wrong time to add an entire layer of complication and risk to what we are attempting to achieve." Diana Dooley, chairwoman of Covered California, said, "I feel very mother-bearish on protecting the investment we have made in implementing the Affordable Care Act."[24]

Campaign advertisements
The following advertisements in opposition to Proposition 45 were put out by Californians Against Higher Health Care Costs:
Media editorial positions
- Fresno Bee: "Proposition 45 is worthy of a "yes" vote. But if you want to put more of your hard-earned dollars into the pockets of insurance company CEOs, by all means vote "no." They might be having trouble making the mortgage on their second yacht — or third vacation home."[25]
- Marin Independent Journal: "Proposition 45 would expand the insurance commissioner's authority to health care plans covering individuals and small-group plans. The commissioner already has that say-so over other forms of insurance. If voters don't approve of the decisions of that politician, they can vote him or her out of office."[26]
- Los Angeles Times: "[It] leaves much of the timetable for filing and reviewing rates up to whoever happens to be the insurance commissioner, who may not have the ability or the desire to make the process work — or to stop intervenors determined to undermine it. Nor does it try to contain the damage that might be caused if a court throws out a rate months after it goes into effect, leaving insurers, policyholders and the government that subsidizes them to figure out who pays rebates to whom...Sacramento may eventually need to regulate health premiums, but now's not the time and Proposition 45 isn't the way."[27]
- Monterey Herald: "If Covered California had been a failure at rollout, we might agree with the arguments for Proposition 45. But Obamacare is working in California — perhaps more so than anywhere else in the country. So why add new levels of bureaucratic regulation, and further burden a health care law that has helped millions of uninsured Californians. Vote no on Proposition 45."[28]
- The Sacramento Bee: "The question of the insurance commissioner's authority over health insurance is complicated and best left to the Legislature, not the blunt instrument of an initiative written by partisans... California politics being what they are, the next commissioner and the one after that probably will be Democrats. But Democrats differ. One might side with consumers. Another might side with the insurance industry."[29]
- The San Diego Union-Tribune: "Consumer Watchdog depicts itself as a populist defender of the little guy against avaricious business interests. But critics make a powerful case that the organization — which refuses to reveal its major contributors — amounts to a trial lawyers' front group, constantly advocating for complex laws and regulations that pave the way for more lawsuits. That's a certain result if Proposition 45 passes."[30]
- San Francisco Chronicle: "The measure is being advanced by Consumer Watchdog, a Santa Monica group behind Proposition 103, the 1988 initiative that created the elected state insurance commissioner's office and gave it the authority to approve or reject premium increases. That measure, as with Prop. 45, is structured to allow an outside group to intervene in cases - and collect legal fees and other expenses at the conclusion. Consumer Watchdog has collected millions of dollars through this process, and has come under fire at times for excessive fees. Vote no on Proposition 45."[31]
- See also: Polls, 2014 ballot measures
- The Field Poll conducted a survey related to ballot initiatives between June 26 and July 19, 2014. They found that about 69 percent of total registered voters supported Proposition 45. Democrats supported the proposal by 75 percent, while Republicans approved of it by 58 percent. Voters not affiliated with either party supported it by 73 percent.[32]
- The Field Poll's August 14 through August 28, 2014, poll showed a sharp drop in support for Proposition 45. The only subgroups in which the proposition was supported by 50 percent or more were self-classified "liberals" and Latinos. The subgroup least likely to support the initiative was registered Republicans, with 34 percent support. However, more registered Republicans were undecided than were against the measure.[33]
- The Public Policy Institute of California sampled 1,702 adult residents between September 8 and September 15, 2014. The institute found that almost half of respondents favored Proposition 45. While 54 percent of Democrats and 49 percent of independents supported the initiative, only 39 percent of Republicans did.[34]

Path to the ballot
Two different versions of the initiative--#11-0070 and #11-0072--were submitted to election officials. Initiative #11-0070 is the one that qualified for the ballot.
- Jamie Court submitted two versions of the proposed initiative; #11-0070 on November 8 and #11-0072 on November 10, 2011.
- The ballot title and ballot summary for #11-0070 were issued by the Attorney General of California's office on January 3, 2012.
- The ballot title and ballot summary for #11-0072 were issued by the Attorney General of California's office on January 4, 2012.
- Either measure required 504,760 valid signatures for qualification purposes.
- The 150-day circulation deadline for #11-0070 was June 1, 2012.
- The 150-day circulation deadline for #11-0072 was June 4, 2012.
- Supporters of the initiative said in February 2012 that they expected to file the required signatures by April 1, 2012.[35]
- About 800,000 signatures were submitted on Friday, May 18, 2012.[4]
- It was possible that election officials would be able to scrutinize the submitted signatures in time to qualify the measure for the November 6, 2012, ballot. The recommended deadline for submitting the signatures in order to qualify for the November 2012, ballot was April 20.
- However, on June 28, it became clear that not enough time was left to qualify the measure for November 6, 2012, ballot.[5]
- The California Secretary of State's office announced on August 23, 2012, that the measure had qualified for the state's November 4, 2014, ballot.
- The measure was defeated at the general election on November 4, 2014.
In the wake of the extended signature verification process that led to the initiative qualifying for the 2014 ballot, rather than the intended 2012 ballot, Consumer Watchdog released a statement arguing that the state's signature verification process should be changed. They said, "A flawed signature verification process wasted hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on an unnecessary full signature count, and Californians now have to wait two extra years to vote to get outrageous health insurance prices under control. Citizens usually take to the initiative process only when legislative reform has proved impossible, meaning ballot measures address problems for which a fix is long overdue. It's time to lower the random sample threshold to ensure that measures like this one make the ballot they are intended for, and save the counties the significant time and expense of a full count."[36]
Cost of signature collection:
The cost of collecting the signatures to qualify the initiative for the ballot came to $1,728,998.
The signature vendor was Kimball Petition Management.
