IN RE: the MARRIAGE OF Janet and Donald T. McLAUGHLIN.
IN RE: the MARRIAGE OF Janet and Donald T. McLAUGHLIN. Janet McLaughlin, Appellant, v. Donald T. McLaughlin, Respondent.
No. B125410.
Rehwald, Rameson, Lewis & Glasner, Thomas Trent Lewis and Kevin James Mooney, Woodland Hills, for Appellant. Holmes & Holmes and Robert K. Holmes, Glendale, for Respondent.
Janet McLaughlin appeals from the trial court's entry of a judgment of marital dissolution ending her marriage to respondent Donald T. McLaughlin. Appellant contends judgment should not have been entered in the absence of statutorily required declarations of disclosure regarding the parties' assets and liabilities. However, appellant has failed to show prejudicial error and, therefore, we shall affirm the judgment.
Donald and Janet were married in November 1980, and separated in January 1997.1 They had one child, born in 1989. On January 9, 1997, Donald filed a petition for dissolution of marriage. In February 1997, the parties entered into an agreement as to the distribution of their separate and community property.2 Donald's counsel prepared a proposed judgment incorporating the terms of the settlement agreement, and the parties signed the agreement on February 24, 1997. The settlement agreement required Janet to pay Donald $750 per month in spousal support and $637 per month in child support.
On March 17, 1997, Janet filed a notice of rescission of the settlement agreement and stipulation for judgment. Her stated grounds for rescinding were "fraud, misrepresentation, failure of consideration, failure to notarize, [and] failure to submit and serve preliminary and final declarations of disclosure." (Capitalization omitted.) As part of the settlement agreement, in addition to paying child and spousal support, Janet had agreed to give to Donald approximately $165,000, representing half of the proceeds of the sale of stock she held as separate property. Janet claimed that Donald had promised that if she did so he would enter marriage counseling with her with the intention of reconciling. On April 16, 1997, Janet filed an amended notice of rescission.
On May 9, 1997, Donald filed a motion seeking entry of judgment. In his declaration accompanying the motion, Donald denied promising to reconcile if Janet would agree to the financial arrangements set forth in the settlement agreement. He stated that "[i]f anything, the agreement did not favor [him]" with regard to the division of property.
One year later, in March 1998, Janet filed a motion seeking to set aside the February 24, 1997, settlement agreement and to deny Donald's request to enter judgment. In her declaration accompanying the motion, Janet states: "I am also separately requesting that the Agreement be Set Aside because the Petitioner failed to disclose the existence of certain assets in the Agreement, which I have since learned may have substantial value." She also says that because Donald did not supply her with the statutorily required declarations of disclosure, "I had no idea of the value or extent of our assets including the cash and coins held by Petitioner."
Donald filed responsive papers in which he contended that Janet admitted during her deposition taken in January and February 1998 that she knew exactly what the parties owned when she signed the February 24, 1997, settlement agreement. During her deposition, the transcript of which was lodged with the court, Janet stated she was aware Donald had "a very large amount of cash" and gold Krugerrands. She was asked by Donald's counsel: "Am I correct in understanding that it is your position that you are unaware of any property-rather that you have not become aware of any property that Mr. McLaughlin is in possession of that you were unaware prior to February of 1997?" She replied, "That's correct."
A hearing was held on April 15, 1998, and the trial court took the matter under submission. On July 9, 1998, the trial court issued a minute order stating: "[T]he Court issues its Statement of Decision as follows: [¶] Respondent's motion to set aside the parties' February 24, 1997 agreement (in the form of a proposed judgment signed by the parties and their counsel) is denied for the reasons stated below. [¶] Petitioner's motion for entry of judgment pursuant to the agreement/proposed judgment signed by both parties and their counsel is granted for the reasons stated below. The original proposed judgment signed by both parties and their counsel on February 24, 1997 shall be entered upon its receipt by the Court. [¶] The Court finds good cause for entry of the agreement/proposed judgment absent the exchange of disclosure statements by the parties. Family Code section 2106. Respondent concedes that there are no assets of which she has become aware since February 1997. Transcript of respondent's deposition taken January 5, 1998 and February 12, 1998, vol. II, p. 52. Given that respondent has not identified any omitted assets, setting aside of the agreement/proposed judgment for the exchange of disclosure statements would exalt form over substance. In re Marriage of Jones (1998) 60 Cal.App.4th 685, 70 Cal.Rptr.2d 542. Basically, respondent regrets having agreed to give petitioner one-half of stock given to respondent by her mother, an asset of which respondent was well aware. The instant facts are thus distinguishable from those presented in In re Marriage of Varner (1997) 55 Cal.App.4th 128, 63 Cal.Rptr.2d 894." The court further found that the agreement had not been signed under duress, or due to fraud or misrepresentation by Donald. Finally, the court noted that the law favors settlements, and expressed its disinclination to second-guess the parties' agreement.
Judgment of dissolution was entered on August 26, 1998, pursuant to the terms of the proposed judgment of February 1997. This appeal ensued.
Janet contends on appeal that compliance with Family Code section 2104 is mandatory and that the trial court committed error entering judgment where, as here, the parties did not exchange preliminary declarations of disclosure. We agree that it was error to enter judgment in the absence of compliance with section 2104.
A comprehensive statutory scheme regarding disclosure of assets and liabilities in marital dissolution proceedings was enacted in 1992 as Civil Code section 4800.10, the original provision which will be discussed below. (Stats.1992, ch. 37, § 1.) Civil Code section 4800.10 was amended (Stats.1992, ch. 356, § 4), and shortly thereafter was repealed (Stats.1993, ch. 1101, § 1) but its terms were continued without substantive change as Family Code section 2100 et seq.3 (Stats.1993, ch. 219, § 107, amended by Stats.1993, ch. 1101, § 1, operative Jan. 1, 1994.) Under these statutes, parties to marital dissolution proceedings have an affirmative duty to exchange both a preliminary and a final declaration of disclosure, detailing all of their assets and liabilities, prior to judgment being entered.
At the time of the present dissolution, the relevant statutes provided as follows: "The Legislature finds and declares the following: [¶] (a) It is the policy of the State of California (1) to marshal, preserve, and protect community and quasi-community assets and liabilities that exist at the date of separation so as to avoid dissipation of the community estate before distribution, (2) to ensure fair and sufficient child and spousal support awards, and (3) to achieve a division of community and quasi-community assets and liabilities on the dissolution or nullity of marriage or legal separation of the parties as provided under California law. [¶] (b) Sound public policy further favors the reduction of the adversarial nature of marital dissolution and the attendant costs by fostering full disclosure and cooperative discovery. [¶] (c) In order to promote this public policy, a full and accurate disclosure of all assets and liabilities in which one or both parties have or may have an interest must be made in the early stages of a proceeding for dissolution of marriage or legal separation of the parties, regardless of the characterization as community or separate, together with a disclosure of all income and expenses of the parties. Moreover, each party has a continuing duty to update and augment that disclosure to the extent there have been any material changes so that at the time the parties enter into an agreement for the resolution of any of these issues, or at the time of trial on these issues, each party will have as full and complete knowledge of the relevant underlying facts as is reasonably possible under the circumstances of the case." 4 (§ 2100, italics and bold emphasis added.)
"In order to provide full and accurate disclosure of all assets and liabilities in which one or both parties may have an interest, each party to a proceeding for dissolution of the marriage or legal separation of the parties shall serve on the other party a preliminary declaration of disclosure under Section 2104 and a final declaration of disclosure under Section 2105." (§ 2103, italics added.)
The statutory requirements regarding preliminary declarations of disclosure applicable at the time of dissolution were as follows:
"(a) Within 60 days of service of the petition for dissolution or nullity of marriage or legal separation of the parties, each party shall serve on the other party a preliminary declaration of disclosure, executed under penalty of perjury on a form prescribed by the Judicial Council. The commission of perjury on the preliminary declaration of disclosure may be grounds for setting aside the judgment, or any part or parts thereof, pursuant to Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 2120), in addition to any and all other remedies, civil or criminal, that otherwise are available under law for the commission of perjury. The parties may agree to accelerate or delay the time within which to exchange preliminary declarations of disclosure by written stipulation or by oral stipulation made in open court.
"(b) The preliminary declaration of disclosure shall not be filed with the court, except on court order.
"(c) The preliminary declaration of disclosure shall set forth with sufficient particularity, which a person of reasonable and ordinary intelligence can ascertain, all of the following: [¶] (1) The identity of all assets in which the declarant has or may have an interest and all liabilities for which the declarant is or may be liable, regardless of the characterization of the asset or liability as community, quasi-community, or separate. [¶] (2) The declarant's percentage of ownership in each asset and percentage of obligation for each liability where property is not solely owned by one or both of the parties. The preliminary declaration may also set forth the declarant's characterization of each asset or liability.
"(d) A declarant may amend his or her preliminary declaration of disclosure without leave of the court.
"(e) Along with the preliminary declaration of disclosure, each party shall provide the other party with a completed income and expense declaration unless an income and expense declaration has already been provided and is current and valid." (§ 2104, italics added.)
In contrast to the statutory provisions regarding preliminary declarations of disclosure, the provisions regarding final declarations specifically give the trial court discretion to enter judgment in the absence of final declarations, and also permit the parties to waive the requirement under specified circumstances. The statutory requirements regarding final declarations of disclosure applicable at the time of the dissolution were as follows:
"(a) Except by court order for good cause or as provided in subdivision (c), before or at the time the parties enter into an agreement for the resolution of property or support issues other than pendente lite support, or, in the event the case goes to trial, no later than 45 days before the first assigned trial date, each party, or the attorney for the party in this matter, shall serve on the other party a final declaration of disclosure and a current income and expense declaration, executed under penalty of perjury on a form prescribed by the Judicial Council. The commission of perjury on the final declaration of disclosure may be grounds for setting aside the judgment, or any part or parts thereof, pursuant to Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 2120), in addition to any and all other remedies, civil or criminal, that otherwise are available under law for the commission of perjury.
"(b) The final declaration of disclosure shall include all of the following information: [¶] (1) All material facts and information regarding the characterization of all assets and liabilities. [¶] (2) All material facts and information regarding the valuation of all assets that are contended to be community property or in which it is contended the community has an interest. [¶] (3) All material facts and information regarding the amounts of all obligations that are contended to be community obligations or for which it is contended the community has liability. [¶] (4) All material facts and information regarding the earnings, accumulations, and expenses of each party that have been set forth in the income and expense declaration.
"(c) The parties may stipulate to a mutual waiver of the requirements of subdivision (a) concerning the final declaration of disclosure by execution of a waiver in a marital settlement agreement or by stipulated judgment or a stipulation entered into in open court. The waiver shall include all of the following representations: [¶] (1) Both parties have complied with Section 2104 and the preliminary declarations of disclosure have been completed and exchanged. [¶] (2) Both parties have completed and exchanged a current income and expense declaration. [¶] (3) The waiver is knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered into by each of the parties. [¶] (4) Each party understands that by signing the waiver, he or she may be affecting his or her ability to have the judgment set aside as provided by law.
"(d) Whether execution of a mutual waiver of the final declaration of disclosure requirements pursuant to subdivision (c) will affect the rights of either party to have the judgment set aside or will affect the fiduciary obligations of each to the other shall be decided by a court based on the law and the facts of each particular case. The authority to execute a mutual waiver provided by this section is not intended, in and of itself, to affect the law regarding the fiduciary obligations owed by the parties, the parties' rights with respect to setting aside a judgment, or any other rights or responsibilities of the parties as provided by law." (§ 2105, italics added.)
"Except as provided in subdivision (c) of Section 2105, absent good cause, no judgment shall be entered with respect to the parties' property rights without each party, or the attorney for that party in this matter, having executed and served a copy of the final declaration of disclosure and current income and expense declaration. Each party shall execute and file with the court a declaration signed under penalty of perjury stating that service of the final declaration of disclosure and current income and expense declaration was made on the other party or that service of the final declaration of disclosure has been waived pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 2105." (§ 2106.)
The statutory scheme thus permits trial courts to enter judgments of dissolution where no final declarations of disclosure have been exchanged, upon a finding of good cause or where the parties have complied with the detailed waiver provisions (which include earlier exchange of preliminary declarations). While the statutory scheme does not state the consequence of failure to exchange preliminary declarations, such exchange is plainly made mandatory.5 Section 2106 provides that, absent good cause or waiver, "no judgment shall be entered with respect to the parties' property rights" without service of final declarations of disclosure. By implication, no judgment may be entered regarding the parties' property rights without the requisite service of preliminary declarations.
The legislative history of the statutes at issue compels this conclusion. Pursuant to former Civil Code section 4800.10, subdivision (c)(1), the predecessor statute to current Family Code section 2104, parties to a marital dissolution were permitted to stipulate to waive preparation of a preliminary declaration of disclosure, or a court could find good cause to excuse its preparation. As originally enacted, Civil Code former section 4800.10, subdivision (c)(1) provided in relevant part: "Except by court order upon good cause or by stipulation of the parties, within 60 days of service of the petition for dissolution of marriage, each party shall serve upon the other a preliminary declaration of disclosure, executed under penalty of perjury upon a form prescribed by the Judicial Council." (Italics added.) In 1993, the statute was amended by Assembly Bill No. 1469, passed as an urgency measure, and the language italicized above was deleted. As stated by the Legislative Counsel when the bill was introduced, "This bill would revise and recast these provisions [regarding preliminary and final declarations of disclosure], and would, among other things, ․ delete the exception to the requirement of a preliminary declaration of disclosure ․ as to a court order upon good cause, [and] delete authorization for parties to stipulate to waive the preliminary declaration of disclosure ․" (Legis. Counsel's Dig., Assem. Bill No. 1469 (1993-1994 Reg. Sess.) Stats.1993, Summary Dig., pp. 475-476.) 6
Although compliance with sections 2104 and 2105 is mandatory, failure to comply is not necessarily fatal. As we have recited above, Janet did not discover that Donald had any property that was not identified in the February 24, 1997, settlement agreement. Presumably, Janet would not have gained any more information if the judgment had not been entered and the declarations of disclosure had been exchanged. Moreover, the specific thrust of Janet's appellate brief argues that section 2104 (preliminary declaration of disclosure) is absolutely mandatory and does not provide for waiver or an exception based on a finding for "good cause" as do sections 2105 and 2106 (final declaration of disclosure). She essentially contends that compliance with section 2104 is jurisdictional. It is not, and the Legislature did not so provide.
We do not disagree that the exchange of preliminary declarations of disclosure is mandatory and the failure of a court to compel compliance or to disregard that requirement is error. In fact, here the trial court's order was made prior to the entry of judgment and with knowledge that the parties had not exchanged any declarations of disclosure, ignoring the unqualified mandate of section 2104. However, "[w]hen the trial court commits error in ruling on matters relating to pleadings, procedures, or other preliminary matters, reversal can generally be predicated thereon only if the appellant can show resulting prejudice, and the probability of a more favorable outcome, at trial. Article VI, section 13 [of the California Constitution] admonishes us that error may lead to reversal only if we are persuaded 'upon an examination of the entire cause' that there has been a miscarriage of justice. In other words, we are not to look to the particular ruling complained of in isolation, but rather must consider the full record in deciding whether a judgment should be set aside." (Waller v. TJD, Inc. (1993) 12 Cal.App.4th 830, 833, 16 Cal.Rptr.2d 38.)
Janet presented no evidence that she has suffered or incurred any prejudice by reason of the trial court's rejection of her opposition to Donald's motion to enter judgment. Although section 2104 provides that "each party shall serve on the other party a preliminary declaration of disclosure," failure to do so does not preclude this court from applying the harmless error standard in its review of an order made contrary to statutory mandate, unless it would result in a miscarriage of justice. "We view the trial court's error in entering judgment contrary to the provisions of section [2104] as one of a purely statutory dimension. That being so, we can reverse the judgment only if we conclude 'it is reasonably probable that a result more favorable to the appealing party would have been reached in the absence of the error.' (People v. Watson (1956) 46 Cal.2d 818, 836 [299 P.2d 243].)" (In re Marriage of Jones (1998) 60 Cal.App.4th 685, 694, 70 Cal.Rptr.2d 542.)
"The burden is on the appellant in every case to show that the claimed error is prejudicial; i.e., that it has resulted in a miscarriage of justice." (Cucinella v. Weston Biscuit Co. (1954) 42 Cal.2d 71, 82, 265 P.2d 513.) Injury is not presumed from error, but injury must appear affirmatively upon the court's examination of the entire record. "But our duty to examine the entire cause arises when and only when the appellant has fulfilled his duty to tender a proper prejudice argument. Because of the need to consider the particulars of the given case, rather than the type of error, the appellant bears the duty of spelling out in his brief exactly how the error caused a miscarriage of justice." (Paterno v. State of California (1999) 74 Cal.App.4th 68, 105, 87 Cal.Rptr.2d 754.) Janet does not direct us to anything in the record to support a finding of prejudice. Indeed, she relies solely on the failure of the parties to exchange preliminary declarations of disclosure, an error of law, but not evidence of prejudice. "Where any error is relied on for a reversal it is not sufficient for appellant to point to the error and rest there." (Santina v. General Petroleum Corp. (1940) 41 Cal.App.2d 74, 77, 106 P.2d 60.)
We conclude that Janet has failed to show prejudice and the error complained of is harmless.
I respectfully dissent. Judgment should not have been entered in the absence of both of the statutorily mandated declarations of disclosure regarding the parties' assets and liabilities. In this case, neither party filed nor served the required preliminary declaration of disclosure. For the trial court to conclude that this was not necessary because the appellant concedes that there are no assets of which she has become aware, ignores the possibility, which gave rise to the enactment of the subject statutes, that the respondent has secreted assets. I would not expand upon the holding in In re Marriage of Jones (1998) 60 Cal.App.4th 685, 70 Cal.Rptr.2d 542, which held that the final declaration of disclosure may be waived under certain circumstances, by holding that both declarations can be waived in the circumstances before us in this case.
1. For ease of reference, in this opinion we refer to the parties by their first names. (See In re Marriage of Smith (1990) 225 Cal.App.3d 469, 475-476, fn. 1, 274 Cal.Rptr. 911.)
2. Janet entered into the agreement against the advice of her counsel.
3. All further statutory references are to the Family Code unless otherwise indicated.
4. Similarly, in a subsequent chapter governing relief from judgment in marital dissolution proceedings, section 2120 et seq., the following statement of public policy is set forth:"The Legislature finds and declares the following:(a) The State of California has a strong policy of ensuring the division of community and quasi-community property in the dissolution of a marriage as set forth in Division 7 (commencing with Section 2500), and of providing for fair and sufficient child and spousal support awards. These policy goals can only be implemented with full disclosure of community, quasi-community, and separate assets, liabilities, income, and expenses, as provided in Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 2100), and decisions freely and knowingly made."(b) It occasionally happens that the division of property or the award of support, whether made as a result of agreement or trial, is inequitable when made due to the nondisclosure or other misconduct of one of the parties."(c) The public policy of assuring finality of judgments must be balanced against the public interest in ensuring proper division of marital property, in ensuring sufficient support awards, and in deterring misconduct."․"(§ 2120, italics added.)
5. The remedies enumerated in section 2107, including filing a motion to compel further responses, filing a motion for preclusion of evidence, and an award of attorney fees, are available only to a party who has complied in filing preliminary and final declarations of disclosure, and thus are not applicable here.
6. In a leading treatise on family law, the authors state: "Section 2104 is cast in mandatory terms (Fam. C. § 2104(a)-'․ each party shall serve on the other party ․'). The statute contains no exceptions and, therefore, the preliminary declaration of disclosure requirement is implicitly nonwaivable. [Fam. C. § 2104(a) ] [¶] Indeed, even if the final declaration is waived as allowed by the statutes ․, a preliminary declaration is still required. [Fam. C. §§ 2105(c)(1), 2110 ․]." (Hogoboom & King, Cal. Practice Guide: Family Law (The Rutter Group 1997) ¶ 11:66, p. 11-14 (rev. #1, 2000), original italics.)

Cleveland Indians: Can Edwin Encarnacion Find Fantasy Baseball Glory?
The defending American League champions bolstered their offense this off-season, signing Edwin Encarnacion to a three-year, $60 million contract. The plan is for him to play first, hit cleanup and hopefully prevent them from blowing another 3-1 World Series lead. What does the move from Toronto to Cleveland mean for the fantasy baseball prospects of the man known as E5?
[Jeff]
First, if you're drafting Edwin Encarnacion, you're going after a consistent power bat. He is the only player to hit 30+ home runs in each of the last five years and is #2 overall in that same span to Chris Davis. Davis has 197 home runs in the last five seasons, and Encarnacion 193. He's a full 15 home runs over the #3 player, Nelson Cruz. Over the same timeframe, he's also #2 in RBI and #8 in runs scored. He's a beast at three of the five offensive fantasy baseball categories. While his average is… average (.272 is tied for #72 since 2012) and his stolen bases are non-existent, he's been amazing at the other three fantasy baseball categories.
E5 has seemingly been around forever, so a fear of regression is justifiable. He's just past his 34th birthday, so he is post-peak. However, that which he promised in years past still holds true in 2017. There has been much consternation regarding an Encarnacion home run dip off his career-high 42 home runs last year. Of course, there will be that sort of regression, as power doesn't increase after someone's 34th birthday. However, his home run numbers should not decrease dramatically. He has remained steady with one of the highest home run rates in baseball, buoyed by his hard hit rate that hasn't dipped below 35% since 2011. He brings the lumber and does so on a consistent basis.
While Encarnacion leaves the bandboxes of the AL East, he does not necessarily need them to succeed. He led the league hittrackeronline.com's "No Doubt" home runs with 20 last year. Also, only a wall scraper he hit in Houston would not be a home run in his new digs. Also per Hit Tracker Online, 27 of his home runs were dingers in all 30 ballparks. All but three were home runs in at least 22 parks. His power plays anywhere, so the concerns that his move to the AL Central will have an adverse effect on his home run total will be moot.
There will be a natural regression for Encarnacion, coming off his career season, but it is not as sky-is-falling as the detractors think. He is going from one powerful lineup to another (the Blue Jays had 4.7 runs per game in 2016 and Cleveland had 4.8), so his runs and RBI should remain consistent. Natural career-year regression and aging should nick him down to about 35 home runs. Encarnacion will take a step back, but should remain mostly the same player he was in 2016.
[Kenny2]
The only issue with E5 is his draft value. Encarnacion currently sits with a fantasy baseball ADP of #24, sandwiched between teammates Corey Kluber and Francisco Lindor. That's a bit of a steep price to pay for Encarnacion, whose production should be within spitting distance of Jose Abreu, who is going 36 picks later. Encarnacion will be just fine in Cleveland, but the end of the second round could be overpaying for him.

138 (20) 'GREENING THE WORKPLACE' REVISIT – (i) To discuss the North Lincolnshire Council Carbon Management Programme – Carbon Management Plan (CMP) – The Service Director Legal and Democratic explained that since the greening the workplace report had been produced in 2006, changes within local requirements and national legislation had brought about the need for the Climate Change Action Plan, which had incorporated the recommendations made within the scrutiny report.
Since then, the emphasis had been on Carbon Reduction, and the CMP had superseded both the previous reports and action plans. The report author Tim Allen, Environment Manager would be attending the next scheduled meeting of the panel and it was agreed that this would be the ideal opportunity to raise any questions.
It was noted that some of the actions contained within the CMP were under the ownership of Craig Stapleton, who was in attendance at this meeting for the next item on the agenda. It was agreed that further discussions be incorporated into the next agenda item.
Resolved – That the position be noted.
(ii) Progress on the recommendations within the 2006 'Greening the Workplace' scrutiny review – discussions with Nolan Bennett, Maintenance Services Manager and Craig Stapleton, Energy Manager – The Chair welcomed Nolan and Craig to the meeting and invited them to address the panel and advise them of the progress so far.
Members received a visual presentation which provided the background to the work undertaken and how in March 2007 Cabinet had resolved to adopt the climate change action plan as the way in which the council would take forward the 'Greening the Workplace' recommendations, and what progress had subsequently been made in addressing the 59 specific actions and targets outlined within that plan.
Nolan provided an overview of the progress that had been made by the Asset Management and Culture team. He covered aspects such as the reinstatement of the energy manager's post in property services, the carbon trust audit of council properties in late 2007, the usage of renewable and sustainable energy sources in relevant buildings, energy conservation measures and the potential of power saving devices, and monitoring the effectiveness of these measures.
Craig was then invited to provide further information on the council's carbon footprint, how the breakdown of carbon emissions had been calculated and categorised, and what impact this had on performance indicator NI 185.
Members engaged in discussions and asked for specific information on what savings had been made since Craig came into post as the council's Energy Manager, what budget had been assigned, and what savings Craig envisaged would be possible over the next financial year.
Craig confirmed that savings were on track to reach the pre-determined amount per annum, and that with the access to the Salix fund from April 2010, this would provide further opportunity to deliver a more extensive programme of work to meet the challenging 33% CO2 reduction targets set.
Further discussions covered aspects of the need for cultural changes, increased staff awareness, knowledge of the financial implications and what impact that would have on the council as a whole.
The discussions were summarised with Craig advising members that Display Energy Certificates (DEC's) had been awarded to 85 council buildings, which highlighted specific areas for improvement. It was confirmed that by 2010/11 there would be 105 DEC's with 69 being for schools.
Resolved – (a) That Nolan and Craig be thanked for attending the meeting and for their informative presentation, and (b) that the position be noted.
(iii) Discussions with Simon Driver, Chief Executive North Lincolnshire Council – The Chair welcomed Simon Driver to the meeting and asked for him to explain his perspective of 'greening the workplace' and how he thought this should be addressed by the Council.
Simon explained that the Carbon Management Plan was now under the ownership of the Community Management Board, which in itself was overseen by the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP).
With North Lincolnshire having been identified as one of the worst areas within the country for CO2 emissions, it had been necessary to address this to reduce levels and also to achieve both energy and monetary savings. Simon confirmed that as Chair of the LSP he would ensure that all Service Directors would work to meet the commitments outlined within the Carbon Management Plan and assist the council in meeting its targets.
The panel was advised of the work being undertaken by the Environment Board and also the Economic Development Board, which in turn fed information back to the LSP.
Members engaged in further discussions with the Chief Executive, addressing issues such as the use of low carbon emitting vehicles within the Council's fleet, the benefits of using sustainable procurement, district heating schemes and whether they were feasible in North Lincolnshire and should be considered within the local planning policy, and also the budget and investment that is needed to meet the performance targets.
Resolved – (a) That Simon Driver be thanked for his attendance at the meeting and for his valuable input to the discussions, and (b) that the position be noted.
(iv) Next Stages – The Service Director Legal and Democratic confirmed that the Environment Manager would be attending the next scheduled meeting of the panel, which would give members the opportunity to raise any questions in connection with the Carbon Management Plan and related issues. In addition, the Service Director Neighbourhood and Environment, an officer from Fleet Management, and also the Head of Travel Choice and Team Manager, Transport Planning would be attending future scheduled meetings to address and respond to issues raised.
139 (21) LEADER OF THE COUNCIL'S FORWARD PLAN – MARCH TO JUNE 2010 – The Service Director Legal and Democratic circulated the Leader of North Lincolnshire Council's Forward Plan for March to June 2010.
The plan contained details of all matters and issues likely to be the subject of key decisions for a period of the next four months, updated on a monthly basis.
Resolved – That the Leader of the Council's Forward Plan for March to June 2010 be noted.
140 ADDED ITEM – There was no added item for discussion at this meeting

Countries shut borders over new COVID-19 variant in southern Africa
The variant is very different to the others that have emerged so far. Scientists have said it is the most heavily mutated version yet, which means vaccines, which were designed using the original strain from Wuhan, may not be as effective.
The new variant is yet to be given a more memorable name, like Delta or Beta, and right now is known as B.1.1.529. The WHO is expected to name it on Friday.
The WHO says so far fewer than 100 sample sequences have been reported. Cases have mainly been confirmed in South Africa, but have also been detected in Hong Kong, Israel and Botswana.
The UK's health minister, Sajid Javid, said on Friday that it is "highly likely " to have spread to other countries.
Only about 24% of South Africa's population is fully vaccinated, which could see a rapid spread of cases there, Dr Mike Tildesley, a member of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Modelling group (Spi-M), told the BBC on Friday.
In Hong Kong, the variant spread during hotel quarantine between a person who had arrived from South Africa and another hotel guest who tested positive a few days later, the Department of Health revealed. Both were fully vaccinated.
Israel's PM Naftali Bennett said on Friday it is "on the verge of a state of emergency" regarding the new variant, and that he would "act fast, strong and now".
One case was detected in a person who returned from Malawi, according to Israeli media reports quoting the country's health ministry. Another two suspected infections were yet to be confirmed with test results. All three are said to have been fully vaccinated.
The WHO has warned against countries hastily imposing travel restrictions, saying they should look to a "risk-based and scientific approach."
Nevertheless, the UK, Japan and the Netherlands have halted flights from these southern African nations:
Eswatini (formerly Swaziland)
Singapore, Italy and Israel have placed all of those nations, plus Mozambique, on their red lists.
The Head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, is proposing the whole of the EU put on the "emergency brake" and stop flights from the region.
The Czech Republic will ban anyone has has spent more than 12 hours in those nations from entering as of Saturday.
ABWU Press Statement PM Browne's comments on Sir George Walter
Germany, which is currently going through a fourth wave of infections because of the Delta variant, will allow only Germans to fly into Germany from South Africa as of Friday night, a health ministry source quoted by Reuters news agency said. Even if travellers are fully vaccinated, they will still have to spend 14 days in quarantine.
South Africa's foreign ministry criticised the UK – which was one of the first nations to impose a flight ban – for what it called the "rushed decision".
"Whilst South Africa respects the right of all countries to take the necessary precautionary measures to protect their citizens, the UK's decision to temporarily ban South Africans from entering the UK seems to have been rushed as even the WHO is yet to advise on the next steps," it said in a statement.
The head of the agency leading Africa's response to the coronavirus pandemic says imposing restrictions such as banning flights is unlikely to reduce the spread of the new variant.
"The restrictions imposed always make it difficult to co-ordinate a response," Dr John Nkengasong, director of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, told BBC Newsday.
"It doesn't help… it has never helped reduce the spread of any variant across the world," he said.

Validating self-rated health in different ethnic groups.
Chandola T., Jenkinson C.
BACKGROUND: Subjective accounts of health status are increasingly utilized in social surveys and medical research to assess functioning and well-being. Despite the fact that substantial research evidence suggests that self-rated health is meaningful and provides valid and reliable data, some authors have raised concerns that different social groups may interpret the notion of health in different ways, and hence complete health measures in systematically different ways. This study evaluates the validity of using self-rated health status to measure health status in different ethnic groups. METHODS: Logistic regression models were used to examine the association of self-rated health with more objective measures of morbidity in different ethnic groups. SAMPLE: Two sources of data were used--the Health Survey for England (HSE) 1991-96 combined file and the Fourth National Survey of Ethnic Minorities (Ethmins4). MEASURES OF HEALTH: Hypertension, presence of cardiovascular disease or diabetes, limiting health and number of visits to a doctor. Self-rated health was measured on 5-point scale ranging from excellent to very poor. RESULTS: Poorer self-rated health was associated with greater morbidity within each ethnic group. Furthermore, there was little evidence that the association of self-rated health with more objective measures of morbidity differed between ethnic groups. CONCLUSION: The evidence reported here suggests that the use of a single item measure of self-rated health to measure health status in different ethnic groups is valid. Further research might usefully explore the validity of using more comprehensive profile measures of health status in different ethnic groups.

Q: Only allowing certain characters in a string I want to disallow all symbols in a string, and instead of going and disallowing each one I thought it'd be easier to just allow alphanumeric characters (a-z A-Z 0-9).
How would I go about parsing a string and converting it to one which only has allowed characters? I also want to convert any spaces into _.
At the moment I have:
function parseFilename($name) {
    $allowed = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789'
    $name = str_replace(' ', '_', $name);

    return $name;
}

Thanks

A: Try
$name = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/", "", $name);

A: You could do both replacements at once by using arrays as the find / replace params in preg_match():
$str = 'abc def+ghi&jkl   ...z';
$find = array( '#[\s]+#','#[^\w]+#' );
$replace = array( '_','' );
$newstr = preg_replace( $find,$replace,$str );
print $newstr;

// outputs:
// abc_defghijkl_z

\s matches whitespace (replaced with a single underscore), and as @F.J described, ^\w is anything "not a word character" (replaced with empty string).

A: preg_replace() is the way to go here, the following should do what you want:
function parseFilename($name) {
    $name = str_replace(' ', '_', $name);
    $name = preg_replace('/[^\w]+/', '', $name);
    return $name;
}

[^\w] is equivalent to [^a-zA-Z0-9_], which will match any character that is not alphanumeric or an underscore.  The + after it means match one or more, this should be slightly more efficient than replacing each character individually.

A: The replacement if spaces with spaces does not require the might of the regex engine; it can wait out the first round of replacements.
The purging of all non-alphanumeric characters and underscores is concisely handled by \W -- it means any character not in a-z, A-Z, 0-9, or _.
Code: (Demo)
function sanitizeFilename(string $name): string {
    return preg_replace(
               '/\W+/',
               '',
               str_replace(' ', '_', $name)
           );
}

echo sanitizeFilename('This/is My     1! FilenAm3');

Output:
Thisis_My_____1_FilenAm3

...but if you want to condense consecutive spaces and replace them with a single underscore, then use regex.  (Demo)
function sanitizeFilename(string $name): string {
    return preg_replace(
               ['/ +/', '/\W+/'],
               ['_', ''],
               $name
           );
}

echo sanitizeFilename('This/has a      Gap !n 1t');

Output:
Thishas_a_Gap_n_1t

was 15 when I went to my first party in another country. It was a "mixer", which meant that everyone got makeshift name tags at the door to make conversations easier to start. An unfortunate development, because "What's your name?" was probably the only question I was prepared to ask or answer.
Already intimidated by the smell of alcohol and the sharpness of the haircuts on display, I wiped the sweat off my pubescent moustache and stuttered out my name to the beaming woman managing the front desk.
She took a look at me and giggled to herself. I mentally congratulated my evidently hilarious face as she scribbled on the name tag excitedly.
First, she produced the tag to the hosts behind her, who burst out laughing. She then proudly stuck the tag on my impressively shiny shirt.
It said "Terrorist Truck Driver".
Utterly unaware of the hostile undertone of that action, I laughed at this ambitious marriage of stereotypes and spent the entire night as Terrorist Taxi Driver. I waved off those who thought it was nasty, trying my best to prove I can take a joke. There were a lot of Apu impressions thrown at me in the next two hours, and I laughed at every single one of them.
Nine years later, I arrived at an elephant sanctuary in Jaipur with my white British girlfriend and her friends from home. Having clucked appropriately at the amounts of sunblock being applied by our pasty contingent, we headed in to see what the fuss on TripAdvisor was about.
I shook my head no. His tone changed from condescending to impressed. He let me in with a good-natured laugh.
I have been asked to pay for entry at bars when my white friend gets in for free. I have been ignored as the waiter refills my girlfriend's drink for the third time.
That day, I tried my best to enjoy feeding the relatively less judgemental elephants, but the indignation never left me. Even the elephant felt my vibe, and only chose to eat 267 sugarcane stalks from my hand.
Being labelled a "driver" by a fellow countryman frustrated me a lot more than being called a "terrorist truck driver". Not merely because I recognise the prejudice it implies, but also because it is part of a painfully normalised culture of othering in the place I call home, from the people I consider my own.
I could have filed it away as routine harmless prejudice from the hinterland, tinged by the benefit of innocence, but this othering is just as common even in the big city. At its tamest, white people are thought of as better-looking than us humble, hairy lot. At its worst, we see them as otherworldly fairies descended from their perfect kingdom to do us the honour of roaming our lowly hamlet.
As Person Accompanying Fairy™, the treatment I receive can be tremendously conflicted: It skews between relative disdain that I do not deserve, and reverence that I do not deserve either.
I have been asked to pay for entry at bars when my white friend gets in for free. I have been ignored as the waiter refills my girlfriend's drink for the third time. I have been asked to get a picture taken of us and then discreetly cropped out of frame, leaving only my white friend in, a smooth strategy for the picture-taker to claim a foreigner as their "catch" – sometimes with giggling requests for consent, other times with the covertness of wildlife photography. My girlfriend has refused curious children, creepy men, and nervous women wanting her to hold their baby in the picture for "blessings".
She tries her absolute best to avoid normalising this fetishisation, especially when it comes with an implied downgrade of my status. She calls it out when there are ears to receive it, which almost always opens up an awkward conversation for everyone.
Unfortunately for her, the subtler manifestations of this – what do I call it? Internalised racism? – are much harder to catch. The chef at the hotel constantly pacing a foot away at her beck and call, might just be a nice guy who takes his job seriously. The sweet shop owner who gives her a free half-kilo of his best pastry, is probably just a generous man practicing his "atithi devo bhava" game. Watching this unfold is either amusing or frustrating, and often, both.
With the nascent naivety of foot-in-mouth uncles that we will eventually become, well-meaning male friends have congratulated me for landing myself a "gora". It's a compliment I return wrapped as it came. If I accept it, I admit to reducing my partner to a trophy that I can parade around as proof of my attractiveness. By using her race as compliment, we have objectified her by default.
I suppose I could put it down to our fascination with fair skin. We grew up watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S reruns and late-night repeats of Titanic. So when one of them walks into your store, house, or temple, it's hard to not wonder whether they meet up with other blonde friends at a real-life Central Perk to discuss what happened on their last cruise.
Bollywood has not helped either (yeah, big surprise there). Our go-to method to elevate the status of the Indian heroine is to make her dance as lead in front of several white extras, for she becomes beautiful only by eclipsing the beauty of the white women behind her.
Despite national embarrassments like corruption, caste, and Venkaiah Naidu's acronyms, I accept my heritage gladly. But some days I wonder if I am inherently less Indian for choosing a non-Indian partner, as if my relationship is part of the very white worship that irks me. When so much of culture is built to look up to her race, I wonder if I'm merely looking up with rose-tinted glasses.
Fifteen-year old me couldn't bring himself to tell that woman to change the name tag, because for 15 years I was taught that melanin is an appropriate metric of judgement. That lesson has seeped into our skin just as deeply.
Fortunately, the joys of our relationship compensate for all the grinning-and-bearing. As for her, she'll just have to keep turning down all the wildlife photographers.


After reading highlights of fandom theory over several weeks, develop your own fandom theory, defined in a paragraph, with references to at least two required readings.
Method: first, draft your fandom theory "freehand" without going back and reading keywords or assigned readings. Next: reread the keywords resource page and list all terms relevant to your theory.
Next, make a bubble map of ideas.
Then, rewrite your draft, making sure to include the keywords.
After that, make sure to correctly attribute sources of the keywords insofar as they are traceable. Make connections to some published fandom theory. More important than tracing the idea back to the "original source" - if that were possible - is showing for readers your connection to prior writers.


2018 was the year of the mini session and I loved it so much!
My summer minis were at Cherry Beach, which I was so excited about. I'd never photographed there and had been dying to try it out. It didn't disappoint, although the heat was SWELTERING and we had to spend a lot of time hanging out in the shade. I can't wait to do these again next year.
For fall I planned a day at Cedarvale Park to photograph so many beautiful families. Of course, mother nature thought she'd play a joke on us and made a very drizzly day for us. But by the time we started shooting it had cleared up and we just had gorgeous moody light to show for it!
My Christmas minis were in the Lounge at the Mint Room and the set up was stunning. Just like all the beautiful people who came to hang out with me for the afternoon. This session sold out in 48 hours, even though I added a second date. It was crazy and super rewarding so thank you to everyone who came out.
The thing I always find so interesting about mini sessions is seeing the way that different outfits change the whole vibe of the shoot.
Have a look below to see some of the great images and then sign up for my newsletter so you can get early access to sign up for your own mini session.

Top 3 Editing Tips from Steve Hullfish
First, you need a lot of "reps." You need the time in the editor's chair or with the camera. You need to be telling stories ALL the time. The best way to get better is just to do the work. Figure out something you can shoot or edit. Nobody would consider going out on stage as a dancer or violinist or onto the field in the NFL or NBA without years of practice, the same is true for telling pictures through film. You've seen the kinds of movies and TV shows that have inspired your desire to be in the business. But to get to that level just doesn't happen. You have to practice a LOT. The best way to get good at anything is to fail and learn from your mistakes. You need to have the confidence and patience to make a LOT of mistakes without losing heart in your abilities.
Second, you need to watch a lot of movies and TV and try to deconstruct the decisions that were made and why something was cut the way it was. How and why are they cutting something as common as a dialogue scene. Why does a dialogue scene in this movie look different from a similar conversation in another story? Or why is one dialogue scene cut differently than another dialogue scene in the same film? Almost evry moment in a film is covered by multiple set-ups or camera angles, so why did thy chose the exact camera angle and "size" of shot for a specific moment in the story? When do they use close-ups? When are they on a 2-shot?
Third, do not get wrapped up in technique. Everything should be in service to the story. Think of how your edit choices affect the audience's perception of the story and the characters in the story. Pace and edit speed need to be in service to the story. Which person you're "on" in a conversation needs to be in service to the story. Should you be on the speaker or the listener? That depends on what that decision has to say about the story and the perception of the characters. How quickly you cut to the answer to a question or to the response to a statement says a lot about the characters and the story. Is the response hesitant because they're contemplative or worried about saying the wrong thing? Is it abrupt and impatient? Or is it fast because the character is super-smart? Do you leave in "shoe-leather" (walking or driving from one place to another) because you need to give the audience time to think or feel or anticipate? Or do you cut it out to move the story along faster?

Friday night at Kingsholm against Leicester is all you have to say for what should be a thrilling return to Premiership action for Gloucester.
The Cherry and Whites are clinging to a place in the top four, with the Tigers a spot behind them with neither side having had the greatest start to the season.
For Gloucester it will be a third Friday night game in a row after the Premiership Rugby Cup window, so they should be plenty accustomed to the matchday routine.
Remember, Johan Ackermann's men managed to lose their previous home league match, to Harlequins back in September.
The players will be desperate to exorcise the demons of that day, even though they won the following week at Wasps.
Winning the home games is a pre-requisite of a successful season for Gloucester.
You have to expect that away wins are going to be few and far between in the tough environment of the Premiership.
Leicester come into the game having changed their coach already this season, with several players missing on international duty.
Gloucester are favourites to win through a combination of home advantage and the poor form of the Tigers, although things have improved under Geordan Murphy.
Ackermann will be wanting to see some consistent form emerge from the Cherry and Whites, which we certainly haven't seen so far this season.
Defeat to Quins at home one week, then winning at Wasps the next are not building blocks from which consistency can emerge.
Hopefully, everyone is raring to go after three weeks of cup rugby and the opportunity to give some of the development squad a run out for the first team.
Certainly, Ackermann's selection will be one to look out for, with the likes of Jaco Kriel in the mix and Danny Cipriani available again after suspension.
Top of my wish list for this Friday is a coherent, solid performance and a low unforced error count from the Cherry and Whites.
If they can get this right, the rest of it will come from there.
I'm sure Gloucester would have had designs on a more comfortable victory than the 82nd-minute try that beat Northampton.
The number of chances squandered in the game will be of significant concern for the coaching staff.
It is not the first time the Cherry and Whites have put themselves in a losing position in a game they should have been winning comfortably.
You aren't going to score last-minute tries every week.
The immediate goal is to reduce the errors and convert more chances, and while conditions were difficult on Friday night, they were the same for both teams.
Had Northampton gone home with a win in the Premiership Rugby Cup, we would all be sat wondering how it happened.
Dropped balls, unnecessary passes and clumsy contact work were all to blame for the need for a dramatic conclusion.
Gloucester seem to want to play at 100 miles per hour, and in doing so forget the basics that underpin a solid home performance.
There was little continuity at all in the Saints performance, from either side.
One team got the ball for a couple of phases, made a mistake.
The other team had to ball for three phases, before dropping it.
It didn't make for much of a spectacle, but at least Gloucester came away with the victory.
Most would have had England significantly further behind New Zealand than the result suggested last weekend.
However, you do feel the weather conditions were significantly in favour of Eddie Jones' men.
In dry conditions, I'm not sure England would get close, so there should be no inflated expectations of where this side are at.
Elsewhere, the win for Wales over Australia was a hark back to another era of rugby.
I'm not sure when the last international with zero tries and just 15 points scored was played, but it was good to see the Welsh end what had become a bit of a hoodoo against the Aussies.
France and South Africa also played out a tight affair, although it was higher-scoring.
In the three games mentioned, just seven points separated the teams, showing just how tight the international rugby was on the weekend.
Ireland were more comfortable winners over Argentina, while Scotland thrashed Fiji.
The highlight of this weekend's fixtures has to be Ireland against New Zealand in Dublin.
Of the other home nations, Scotland face the biggest test with the visit of South Africa, while England face Jones' former team Japan and Wales clash with Tonga.


"Bun Rieu" Crab Meatball Noodle Soup at Sai's Restaurant in the Financial District, San Francisco.
If you happen to be craving some pho, noodle soup or Vietnamese cuisine and you're nowhere near the Richmond or Sunset area where all the GOOD asian food is, don't fret! You can check out this nice little restaurant in the Financial District that's on the same block as the illustrious Transamerica Building called Sai's Restaurant.
I recently tried their Crab Meatball Noodle Soup and you should too! Traditionally known as "Bun Rieu", this GIGANTIC bowl of hot, sweet, sour and slightly spicy tomato broth is filled with crab meatballs, deep fried tofu pieces, sliced tomatoes, red onion, the typical Vietnamese green accessories (cilantro, green onion), and last but not least, the white rice noodles.
The crab meatballs seemed to have real crab inside of them and did not taste like imitation crab meat at all. The meatballs were pretty tender and they paired well with the tangy tomato broth. The hot savory soup was perfectly delicious and had a very pronounced tomato flavor that's not overpowering. The sweet and sour flavor is decadent and the slight spiciness really gave it a good lil' kick to your palette.
On the downside, the deep fried tofu pieces were not as fresh as tofu usually can be; they lacked a bit of moisture in the inside. The white rice noodles were hard to eat since they kept slipping off the chopsticks. You may experience a bit of a splatter but if you keep your mouth close to the bowl, you shouldn't have to experience any sudden let-me-take-my-emergency-Tide-To-Go-Pen-out type of situation.
I wasn't able to finish the whole bowl so I took 1/3 of it home, which always bodes well since you can save on some money for lunch the next day. Just heat up the soup, and dump some cooked pasta, vermicelli or any random noodle laying around, some slices of Spam (fine, if you can't stand Spam, then Ham or Tofu) and a cracked egg into it and Voila!; you get yourself another flavorful meal! The cost was about $11 ($13 with tip) so that's pretty standard and reasonable for downtown SF prices.
Crab Meatball Noodle Soup at Sai's Restaurant.
Dinnertime on weekdays around 5 or 6pm is a good time to go; when I went, there was plenty of tables and the noise level was low. If you are looking to grab lunch there on a weekday, I would highly recommend getting there early otherwise you will run into the NOTORIOUSLY long lines that are typical of this wonderful city we call San Francisco. I once tried to go on a weekday at 12pm and the restaurant was completely full and there was about 8 people ahead of us, with the line hardly moving. As for parking, you can try your luck at street parking or find a nearby garage.
Overall, I rate Sai's Crab Meatball Soup Noodle dish a 3 Stars Out of 5 (Pretty good but needs some improvement on key areas). I haven't tried their pho yet but will do an update once I do! Also, I will rate a restaurant's tea too, if the opportunity presents itself. Since apparently, those who are not familiar with teas, think some lukewarm watered down brown liquid is delicious so here's an honest perspective from someone who is very familiar with tea! The tea was hot and had a moderately strong taste of black tea but it was unfortunately not that memorable; I rate it a 2 St ars Out of 5 Stars (Average in my books). Luckily, it wasn't watered down, so yay!
If you've been to Sai's and really enjoyed some other dishes, please provide some comments and I will look into those dishes next time I visit and will report back. Until next time! Stay hungry and eager to find delicious foods in San Francisco! =).

The Idaho Board of Education and the University of Idaho are presenting College of Education alumni and friends with an incredible and once in a lifetime opportunity: to reconstruct a building that future educators deserve rather than one they, having spent years in public schools, may come to expect.
Most of us have seen public schools in disrepair. The Idaho school in which I first taught had been "uncondemned" and opened for business by merely taking the boards off of the windows and making sure the plumbing worked. No functioning lunch room; walls separating from floors; an only occasionally reliable heat system. I didn't think much about it. I knew times were tough and bonds weren't passing. And schools in Idaho rarely have the kind of funding that would provide for cutting-edge facilities.
Sadly, the Education Building at the University of Idaho has been in a similar state of disrepair for years. Because the building was constructed during the height of asbestos use in the 1960s, the building quickly became a pariah — untouchable without serious and very expensive asbestos abatement. Securing a projector to the ceiling was cost prohibitive. New roof? Sorry. Ceiling tiles stained from resulting water leakage? Too expensive to replace.
The state and the university agree that it is time to take care of the building. The state provided nearly $5 million to abate the asbestos and replace the exterior panels water damage on every floor. This will leave standing a shell of brick, cement and steel. The university will bond $9.5 million to get the five-story building back to a functional level. I truly believe that we can make up the difference between "good enough" and excellent. Every dollar we raise for the building will go to key features, upgraded finishes and furnishings that will turn the building into a source of pride for the university and, more importantly from my perspective, a source of pride for students in the College of Education. Our future educators deserve to know that we believe in them so much that we — the college's alumni and friends — will contribute to a state-of-the-art facility for their training: the latest technology, student collaboration spaces and furnishings that facilitate collaboration.
An artist's rendering of the planned remodel to the Education Building.
We can do this, but only if every one of us gives what we can toward this effort. Our goal is to raise $5 million from our alumni and friends, including one very substantial naming gift. Every gift, whether it is $50 or $50,000, will make a difference in what we can build. And to add urgency to this request, we must have all funds either received or pledged by fall 2015. A daunting but I believe doable task.
Please consider a gift on behalf of Idaho teachers. Every University of Idaho education graduate will touch hundreds if not thousands of lives over the course of a teaching or movement science career. Our belief in and support of future educators matters. We want to add your name to those who so believe in teachers that you help to surround them with functional and inspirational spaces in which to learn. Please give what you can. Every dollar matters.
President Chuck Staben, Dean Corinne Mantle-Bromley and College of Education community break ground on the renovation in 2014.


I am holding an Indian passport. I have a multi-entry Schengen visa which is valid for 6 months. I am planning to travel in mid Feb to Spain (on a business trip) via Netherlands for a week. On my way back I am planning to stay in the Netherlands for 4 days as a tourist. Do I need to apply for a tourist visa or can I use the Schengen visa which I applied for Spain?
The Schengen system doesn't distinguish between "tourist" and "business" visas for short stays. Once issued, a short-stay Schengen visa is valid for entering and staying in the Shengen area regardless of purpose and itinerary within its validity. (Of course, that's as long as you're not doing something that would be illegal anyway, such as paid work without a permit).
So you don't need a different visa for a tourist visit, as long as you have days and entries left on you visa.
You may have gotten your visa by describing plans for a business visit on a visa application, but since you were granted a multiple-entry visa, this means you're being trusted with further visits to the Schengen area beyond the one you described in your application.

Can you tell I've been watching Russell Crowe in Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World? 😉 This is a wonderful role for Crowe, although I also thought he was great in Gladiator (2000) and L.A. Confidential (1997).
I loved all the Patrick O'Brian novels about Captain Jack Aubrey and Doctor Stephen Maturin, sailing the high seas and making chamber music together in between naval engagements with French men o'war. This happened during the Napoleonic War in the early 1800's, which also was the time period for my beloved Jane Austen novels, many of which feature British naval officers as love interests.
Ironing and pinning five yards of 57″ wide linen was killing my hands, and I had to take a break. 😛 So I wandered around the house looking for that O'Brian novel and snapping photos of my bookshelves and other sundry sights. Can you find the O'Brian book?
Wow, neither can I! 😛 It would help if the photos were in focus, and if there weren't so much clutter on the shelves obscuring the spines of the books!

This is part of the 2014 fantasy football preview. A look at the top quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, kickers and defenses can be found via the links on each position.
The 2014 fantasy football season is just months away and owners continue to prepare for this year's drafts. One position that can be a problem at times is tight end. There is a certain number of top-flight tight ends that must be taken early while others can be selected much later on. The likes of Jimmy Graham and Julius Thomas are going to be gone before the third or fourth round is over and Graham will likely be taken in the first round. Here is a look at the top 20 tight ends for fantasy football heading into the upcoming season.
Jimmy Graham- The clear No. 1 tight end going into the 2014 season had 86 catches for 1,215 yards and 16 touchdowns last season. He may be having some contract issues going into the season but that doesn't mean his production is going to go down. Another season with 85-90 catches should be expected.
Julius Thomas- A breakout star in 2013, Thomas finished with 65 catches and 12 touchdowns for the Broncos. Peyton Manning loves throwing to his tight ends and that means Thomas is going to get a lot of attention again this season. There are some different weapons in Denver but Thomas should still get his 55-60 catches.
Vernon Davis- It may have looked like a down year for Davis in 2013 with just 52 catches but for fantasy purposes, it appears that Davis is rising back up the boards. He seems to have a solid connection with Colin Kaepernick and while he didn't help fantasy players with his no catch day in the fantasy title game last season, Davis is someone owners want on their roster.
Rob Gronkowski- Injuries have always been the biggest problem for Gronkowski as he played in just seven games last season. If he was going to be completely healthy going into the season, he may have gone up a spot or two. He is dominant when he is on the field though and should be counted on for at least 70-75 catches if he plays in 14-16 games.
Jordan Cameron- If there was a sleeper in the top five, Cameron would be it. He is hidden in Cleveland and had 80 catches last season. With some wide receiver issues going on with the Browns, Cameron's role is only going to increase this coming season. Look for a year with 85-90 catches from the emerging tight end.
Greg Olsen- Another tight end who has marginal wide receivers around him is Olsen in Carolina. He caught 73 passes last season and with no more Steve Smith, Cam Newton is going to be looking for Olsen even more. There would be no one shocked if he finishes with 80-85 catches during the 2014 season.
Jason Witten- He may be getting older but Witten is still a solid fantasy tight end. 73 catches and eight touchdowns last season for Tony Romo's security blanket. While Dallas has many weapons including Dez Bryant, it appears that Romo likes throwing to Witten more at times. He could end up getting close to his 2013 totals again this year.
Dennis Pitta- Injuries slowed down Pitta in 2013, playing in just four games and having 20 catches. The key is noticing that Pitta averaged five catches a game. Joe Flacco believes in what Pitta can do. Here is a tight end that could surprise a few people this season with his catch total. Don't sleep on Pitta in the draft.
Kyle Rudolph- 30 catches in eight games last season for Rudolph doesn't seem like a ton but the key is the quarterback position with the Vikings and the new coaching staff. Norv Turner loves throwing to the tight end. Whoever is quarterbacking in Minnesota is going to be looking for Rudolph a lot and he can be had later in the draft.
Jordan Reed- Reed was proving to be a solid tight end pick for fantasy players before injuries derailed his season early. There are new weapons in Washington so Reed may not average the five catches a game he did last season but is still in line to get 65-70 catches for the Redskins which would work for fantasy owners.
Zach Ertz- Ertz fought for playing time last season and had just 36 catches. This year though, it appears the Eagles are going to let Ertz loose and that means big things for fantasy owners. He could find himself with 55-60 catches and even more depending on what Philadelphia wants to do with him. A true sleeper late in a draft.
Martellus Bennett- The 2013 season was solid for Bennett in Chicago with 65 catches for 759 yards. There are so many different receivers for Jay Cutler to throw to though that Bennett can get lost in the shuffle sometimes. Can he match what he did last season? Yes he can, which makes him either a late starter or perfect bye week replacement.
Eric Ebron- It may seem a bit low to have Ebron but this is based on how much Matthew Stafford looks for the rookie early on this season. The Lions didn't spend the No. 10 overall pick in the draft on someone not worth using. Ebron should be drafted but temper expectations some on what he does during his rookie season.
Tyler Eifert- It was a fairly quiet year for Eifert in 2013 with 39 catches in 15 games. However, it appears that Eifert is going to have a bigger role in the Bengals offense this season and fantasy owners should note that. This is someone worth targeting late in the draft who could be on track for a huge season.
Charles Clay- Clay appears to be building some chemistry with Ryan Tannehill in Miami and that is shown by his 69 catches last season. He may not be a starting tight end on an every week basis for fantasy but he is someone that must be targeted for a bench spot or free agent pickup during bye weeks.
Heath Miller- The veteran had 58 catches for the Steelers last season and never seemed to be a consistent player for fantasy purposes. If he remains healthy this coming year, Miller is going to see a lot of passes his way for Pittsburgh with the changes the team has made with their receivers. He is a nice candidate to start in a deeper league.
Ladarius Green- An off the radar pick would be Green, who had 17 catches last season for the Chargers. San Diego coach Mike McCoy has already said he wishes he used Green more last year and that means he is going to be a key part of the offense in 2014. Drafting Green may not the best decision but picking him up early in the year could turn into a steal.
Delanie Walker- 60 catches in 15 games for Walker last season and he had some huge games for fantasy players. He is going to be a big part of the offense again this year for the Titans and may be worth a roster spot in a flex position depending on the matchups as the 2014 season wears on.
Coby Fleener- A key target for Andrew Luck, Fleener had 52 catches last season. The Colts are planning to use their tight ends a lot in 2014 between Fleener and Dwayne Allen but it appears Indianapolis is going to use Fleener more blocking. The stats may not be there this season but an injury to Allen would change things in a big way.
Antonio Gates- The 2013 season was quite solid for Gates with 77 catches and four touchdowns. The key is that the Chargers appear ready to give Ladarius Green some more playing time. If that occurs, Gates will see his value fall. There are better tight ends worth drafting before Gates so it would be best to leave him on the waiver wire.
