Del Mar school board discusses possibility of creating School Facilities Improvement District
A School Facilities Improvement District bond could help bring modern learning studios like Carmel Del Mar's to all DMUSD schools.
(Karen Billing)
By Karen Billing
The Del Mar Union School District board took a closer look at School Facilities Improvement Districts at its Oct. 28 meeting as they consider different ways to generate funds for the district's unfunded needs.
The unfunded needs from the district's facilities master plan totals $126 million while the district's five-year priorities list is about $35 million in improvement projects. The biggest items on the prioritized list include creating modern learning studios at all sites, which would cost about $12 million and replacing 25-year-old portables with permanent classroom buildings at Carmel Del Mar, Del Mar Hills and Del Mar Heights which would cost about $13 million.
Robert Anslow, a bond counsel from Bowie, Arneson, Wiles and Giannone explained that in the simplest terms, SFIDs are a means of conducting a general obligation bond within a portion of school boundaries.
"Only voters within the SFID vote and only the people in the SFID are taxed to pay the bonds," Anslow said.
The process to determine the boundaries is up to the school board. Once the boundaries are prepared they have to be approved by the county and the state. A resolution of intention must be prepared and a public hearing held before the board adopts the boundaries and forms the SFID to be filed with the registrar of voters for an election.
Anslow said it's not atypical that a hearing and adoption can all be done in one meeting.
When drawing an SFID boundary, Anslow said the board has to consider how much money is needed and how much the area within the boundary can produce.
"The smaller you draw your SFID, the less area subject to the tax, so you have a smaller revenue base for bond issuance," Anslow said.
The ballot language regarding what projects will funded by the SFID bond has to be very specific, Anslow said, and a two-thirds majority or 55 percent of the vote is required for it to pass.
The board is considering SFIDs over a district-wide general obligation bond to avoid the "double dip" within the community financing districts (CFDs). The school district has two CFDs in which special taxes are already placed on homeowner's property tax bill to fund schools and improvements. The district's CFD 95-1 includes the Torrey Hills and Ocean Air communities and CFD 99-1 covers Sycamore Ridge and the district's future ninth school if needed.
If they do pursue the SFID route, board member Erica Halpern had concerns about the CFD schools' needs beyond what the CFD can fund, as they would be excluded from the SFID funds.
Board member Darren Gretler also expressed a concern that they could be setting up a district of "haves and have nots."
"That's why community input is so important," President Doug Rafner said.
Rafner said it would ultimately be up to the community how much of the facilities master plan they would like to see implemented, which would inform any decision about going after a SFID or GO bond. He said the district should consider beginning the outreach process.
Superintendent Holly McClurg noted that the district can and does assign general fund monies for projects that need to be done—in the case of the Carmel Del Mar modernization, they opted to dip into their reserves. She said the district just does not have access to the millions it would take to meet all of its unfunded needs.
The district's last attempt at a GO bond, Prop CC in 2012, was for $76.8 million. It received 53.7 percent of the vote, short of the 55 percent approval rate required.

Each month the High Point office of Triad Health Project (THP) gives out an average of 265 bags of food to clients. This includes nonperishable goods, which clients are eligible for once a month, and fresh food, which clients may get each week. However, despite the high number of food bags provided, the High Point office spends very little money on purchasing needed food items. This is all thanks to our amazing community partners. Organizations including United Way of Greater High Point, West End Ministries, Caring Services, and High Point University regularly bring nonperishable items by the office to help keep our pantry stocked. While we are beyond thankful for every organization that helps, and honestly could not operate our food pantry the way we do without them, it is the special food drives organized specifically for THP that really stand out.
Travis Green has been a major supporter of THP for many years now. His partner, John Aull, sits on the THP Board of Directors, and the two have held their "Aullsome Christmas Party" since 2014, inviting guests to donate nonperishable food for the THP client food pantry. In 2015 the couple began hosting the "Ribbons & Rose for THP, " a Kentucky Derby-themed Dining for Friends event in support of THP. Together with friends, Travis and John have raised $29,937 for THP with Ribbons & Roses. Travis has a huge heart for helping others, and has made it his personal mission to ensure that the High Point community is aware of the local HIV epidemic and available resources like THP. In 2015, when the Miss High Point Pageant was brought back after 41 years, Travis became the organization's new Executive Director. He was thrilled at the opportunity to serve his community by promoting strength, self-confidence, and community service.

Each year, Travis comes up with innovative ways to incorporate community service in the pageant. This year, Travis was approached by the Junior League of High Point with the idea of using the competition as an avenue for a food drive. Guests would be invited to bring 5 nonperishable food items in exchange for $5 off their ticket. Excited by the idea, Travis agreed, and of course he knew just who the collected food should go to. In total, the Miss High Point Pageant and the Junior League of High Point were able to collect over 400 canned goods for Triad Health Project. Travis believes that one of the reasons the food drive was such a huge success is because people knew the food would be used in their own community. "It warms my heart to see that so many people really do care, especially when it comes to helping potential neighbors and community members," says Green.
From all of us at Triad Health Project, a big thank you to Travis and all of our wonderful supporters and community partners that keep our pantry stocked! We could not do the work that we do without each and every one of you!


I have a Keurig machine and I have been using it as a source for hot water since I gotten the machine. I love using it for that because I no longer have to heat a kettle up for one cup of tea etc.
Sounds like a real nice addition to any kitchen. I might have to look into this!
where did you read that...where oh where?
Yes! I remember...it was my blog!
I use a keurig and have found the hot water feature to be very useful. I don't make tea in my Keurig because I like my tea water to be a full boil, but we do use it for all the things you mention plus for hot toddies (yummm).
Great ideas! I have a Keurig and also use it for the hot water for things. I love it!

'No Way Home' and Its Most Impactful Spider-Man Moments
The latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will leave some fans wondering if a long-running debate was ever even necessary.

[This story contains spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home.]
Spider-Man: No Way Home was an extraordinary emotional rollercoaster ride that, even with the leaks before it arrived in theaters, audiences could never have anticipated. And there is a unique trio to thank for the experience.
It was Sam Raimi's first Spider-Man (along with 2000's X-Men) that ignited the superhero film genre into a worldwide, multi-billion-dollar phenomenon. And in that 2002 film, fans fell in love with the first big-screen iteration of Peter Parker, played by a 26-year-old Tobey Maguire. The actor (along with Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson) then outdid himself in the sequel, Spider-Man 2 (2004) which introduced Alfred Molina as Otto Octavius. Then Spider-Man 3 (2007) happened; the severe misfire would put a disappointing and unfulfilling end to Maguire's Spidey tenure.

Enter 28-year-old Andrew Garfield as the web-slinger in 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man. And thus began the debate over who was the "better" Spider-Man. Garfield would only get two bites at the Spider-Man apple before the character would again be recast to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for 2016's Captain America: Civil War. A 19-year-old Tom Holland was introduced to the world as he took over the Spider-Man mantle. And with that, the "best" Spider-Man debate was in overdrive as Holland made the character his own in two solo films: Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019).
Then something astounding took place. No Way Home swung into theaters and gave fans something that previously they could only theorize: What if Maguire's, Garfield's and Holland's Spider-Men met? The result is a film that has several, instant-classic, equally hilarious and devastating moments. But each individual Spider-Man star had their own emotional scene immediately seared into fans' minds and ultimately begged the question: Was it even necessary to have that "best" debate? After all, the three actors are perfect as the superhero in their own unique way.

It is Holland's film and his franchise now, so it makes sense to begin with his most impactful Parker No Way Home moment. It is (arguably) obvious: the shocking, heartbreaking death of Aunt May (Marisa Tomei). Holland's performance is especially phenomenal, as Parker is begging his Aunt to "look at me, May, please" while he realizes what has occurred. His shock and devastation match the total bewilderment of the audience. Tied to this is the look Holland has on his face when his Parker is ready to face off with the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe) telling the villain he is going to kill him. That was, by far, the darkest portrayal yet of Holland's otherwise sweet, goofy Parker. (The final moment in the film of him swinging in the classic Spider-Man suit was also goosebumps-inducing.)

Garfield's most impactful Parker No Way Home moment is also (arguably) obvious: When he saves the MCU's MJ (Zendaya) as she is falling to her possible death, the exact feat he failed with Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014). The look Garfield has on his face, both of accomplishment and past regret, made clear his Parker greatly needed this successful act of redemption. The moment is made absolutely perfect by MJ asking if he is OK after he asked her the same question. He nods his head, assuring he is while holding back tears, which lets fans know perhaps he can finally forgive himself.

Maguire's most impactful Parker No Way Home moment is nearly a razor-thin tie. Maguire returning to the character is the most rewarding, which is best exemplified by one scene in particular: When Peter and Otto finally reunite, as it speaks to the characters but also the audience (chef's kiss to the Danny Elfman musical cue.) They begin by saying it is good to see one another. And fans agree, after nearly 18 years, it is good to see them back in those beloved character iterations. The profound moment happens immediately next: Otto tells Maguire's Parker "You're all grown up," which he is — and so are the fans who experienced him as their first big-screen Spider-Man. Otto then asks him, "How are you?" to which Peter responds, "Trying to do better," a nod to Otto telling him in Spider-Man 2 that he was "brilliant but lazy" as Otto did not know he was preoccupied being a superhero. Those grown-up fans are also "trying to do better" as many now have a career and family. The other exceptional moment was Maguire's Parker stopping Holland's Parker from impaling Green Goblin with his own glider; Maguire with the exact same look of determination to save the soul of Holland's Parker as he had in Spider-Man when he was stopping the Goblin from impaling him with the glider.
The three actors together, naturally, had fantastic chemistry thanks to that bond (being a Hollywood Spider-Man) that only they could understand. From the hilarious banter of them talking about how Maguire's Parker inexplicably secretes his web fluid, to Garfield's Parker telling them he loves the two like brothers. And, of course, when there is the moment when they discuss the deaths of loved ones who helped shape them into the version of Spider-Man they became.

Drought, heat challenging the West's forage producers
Experts try to help alfalfa and forage growers grapple with a number of issues
Research & Innovation | September 01, 2021

As wildfire smoke continues to fill the skies and drought grips the West, farmers are trying to cope with dwindling water supplies and do what they can to sustain profitable operations, this year and into the future. It's a chess game, with Mother Nature proving a formidable opponent. Crop experts and researchers from the University of Nevada, Reno are trying to give producers a fighting chance. Alfalfa is still a major focus in state, with alfalfa being used to feed much of America's dairy cows and livestock.
University of Nevada, Reno Extension
College of Agriculture, Biotechnology & Natural Resources
University of Nevada, Reno Experiment Station
Department of Agriculture, Veterinary & Rangeland Sciences
In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, alfalfa is currently grown on about 6.8 million acres of cropland in 11 Western states each year, with its production in these states amounting to $8.5 billion in 2018. Last year, Nevada alone produced $209 million in hay, most of it alfalfa. When drought hits, it's a domino effect, hitting farmers, then dairy and livestock producers, and ultimately, consumers, in the form of higher prices or lack of product.
Thirsty reservoirs
In west central Nevada, Churchill and Pershing Counties rely on reservoirs such as Lahontan and Rye Patch, respectively, to store water and provide irrigation for agriculture, partly because much of their groundwater is too high in salts for many crops. The reservoirs are mostly filled from winter snowpack that flows down through various watersheds, that is, if the moisture ever reaches the reservoirs in the first place.
"It's how it comes off and what the soil moisture is," said Ryan Collins, director of the Pershing County Water Conservation District, who has the unenviable job of managing the Rye Patch Reservoir water supply. "We're at the end of the line. During spring melt off, if the ground is saturated and we get precipitation, it keeps running down and reaches us. But, if the ground is dry, it gets soaked in like a sponge and never reaches us."
Collins says he has to leave 3,000 acre feet of water in the reservoir. Usually, the agricultural producers get 3 acre feet, but this year, he's struggling to deliver about 1 acre foot.
"They're just trying to keep stuff alive," he said. "I imagine they are farming the best parts of their fields, and leaving the rest fallow. It's not a good water year for sure. I'm just hoping for a big winter and good running conditions to get water to us. That's where we're at right now. We were fortunate we had the storage we did or we wouldn't have even gotten started this year."
Steve Foster is Extension educator with University of Nevada, Reno Extension in Pershing County, and is also a Certified Crop Advisor with the American Society of Agronomy. This year, he has been conducting weekly field scouting assessments at two fields in the county's upper valley and two fields in the lower valley. The scouting assessments are to help farmers be on the lookout for any pests, including weed or disease problems. Dry conditions challenge the plants, the plants are weakened, and pests move in. So, Foster goes out to the fields and shares what he saw with producers in the area, along with recommendations on how to best manage whatever challenges he finds. He says managing these stresses is key to the crops' long-term survival in prolonged periods of drought.
Extension Educator in Pershing County Steve Foster visits alfalfa fields regularly, taking measurements of alfalfa growth and scouting for pests.
"Alfalfa is a deep-rooted plant, allowing it to find water longer than some other forages," he said. "It also has the ability to go dormant and wait out more severe droughts, making it well-adapted to survive drought, but only when managed appropriately to keep other stresses to a minimum."
Although best practices will help the crops survive long term, Foster says that with the lack of water, production and income will be down this year, as a result of having to leave some of their fields fallow, and getting less cuts, or harvests, due to the water having to be shut off early. Joe Frey of Western State Hemp, in nearby Churchill County, confirmed this. His family has been farming the valley for decades.
"We will get a solid three cuttings, and in some cases, just a little of a fourth," he said. "Normally we get four full cuttings on everything without any issues. I think early water cutoff will lead to a 25% reduction in yield, and also a reduction in quality. The heat and smoke from the fires this year have also been detrimental."
Frey said in Churchill County, where they rely heavily on the Lahontan Reservoir, they received a 70% water allocation this season. He estimates that with their traditional crops, alfalfa and corn, that most of the growers were leaving 10% to 20% of their ground fallow.
"I would say that if managed properly, overall farm income based on yield and crop quality will take a 30% reduction from normal," he said.
Looking for alternative forages
Already in Nevada, some producers have begun to grow teff, which can be used as forage, and harvested as a gluten-free grain. The University did teff trials and worked with growers for the past several years, as part of the ongoing research on alternative crops being done by the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology & Natural Resources and its Extension and Experiment Station units. The research showed that some varieties do well in Nevada, providing a good low-water-use alternative crop, or a suitable rotation crop, for some areas.
"Most teff is being produced for the grain right now, in Nevada," said Maninder Walia, assistant professor and field crop specialist with Extension. "But, not all the farmers have combines for harvesting the seed, so they are interested in teff for forage. So, we are conducting more research on growing it here for forage, as well as for grain."
Teff has usually been grown for its gluten-free grain in Nevada, but University researchers are studying growing it more for forage as well.
Walia has begun some trials, planting teff at the University's Experiment Station Valley Road Field Lab in Reno, and also working on some teff trials in collaboration with David Park at the Park Ranch in Minden, Nevada, which is about 50 miles south of Reno in the Carson Valley. Park has been growing some teff and selling it as hay. Walia has sent some of the teff forage off for nutritional analysis.
"We'll see how the forage quality varies depending on the variety," she said. "We'll see how the nutrients do compared to alfalfa."
Walia said she their first cut of the teff was delayed a couple of weeks, and they only anticipate getting two cuts this year.
"The drought and environment slowed it down. A variety of factors influence its profitability compared to alfalfa, including how many cuts you get, and the tonnage you get on each cut."
In the Carson Valley, where many of the growers rely on surface water from the Carson River, growers are looking for a profitable forage crop that uses less water, in the face of droughts like this year's and more to come.
"I think alfalfa and pasture production in the Carson Valley will be off 40 to 60% of normal," Park said. "We are facing back-to-back drought years, and surface water from the Carson River was all but done as of July 4th. We are fortunate to rely on some underground water to supplement, but others not so much."
Doing the math
Not only are producers growing less alfalfa due to the drought, there has also been little forage on rangelands, or public lands. Normally, many livestock producers graze their livestock on the rangelands to provide them with much of their feed. But, with the drought, there hasn't been much to graze, so they are having to mostly purchase forage to feed their livestock. Coupled with the demand for forage from the dairy industry for dairy cows, this is driving up the demand for it, resulting in the growers getting a higher price for what they produce. Still, Frey estimates a 20% reduction in income from alfalfa this year.
Foster, who has done statistical analyses on dollar return per acre versus yield for alfalfa grown in Nevada, also thinks that despite the higher prices alfalfa growers can get for their product this year, their profits will be down due to the decrease in production.
"Annual yield has the largest impact on their profitability because inputs, including harvesting costs, change relatively little as yield increases," he said. "In other words, there is a greater return on investment with the more they produce."
Foster says his research showed a general rule of thumb is that a producer in Nevada needs to harvest over ½ ton per acre per cutting to cover just the harvest expenses, but that the breakeven tons per acre harvested will vary, depending on the individual operation and other factors, such as fluctuating prices and operating costs from year to year. Some producers are reporting higher costs this year, due to factors arising out of economic challenges posed by the pandemic. This leaves producers with a tough decision to make when water is getting shut off before what will be the last cutting of the season. They have to try to evaluate whether it is worth the expense of harvesting the not-fully-grown crop, or not.
Livestock producers hard hit
According to Gary McCuin, Extension educator further east in Eureka County, livestock producers will be hurt even worse by the drought than the alfalfa producers. McCuin assists producers in the county's Diamond Valley, and is the director of the University's Great Basin Research & Extension Center located there that the College opened last September. The 644-acre ranch is operated as a partnership between the College's Experiment Station and Extension units, and addresses issues such as sustainable grazing management of rangelands, livestock production, and crop production under water-limited environments.

"The drought is devasting for livestock producers," McCuin said. "The demand for hay is through the roof. It's all over – California, Oregon, Utah, Idaho. Because of the drought on the rangeland, and people needing to feed their livestock, it's not just the dairies needing it now. Now everybody is looking for it in all states. There's all that unirrigated land that isn't growing anything. They've had to pull everything off the range. Nothing is growing, and then there's the fires. It's a perfect storm kind of deal."
According to Tom Harris, an economics professor at the University focused on various agricultural economics issues in the West, livestock producers might have to make some tough decisions.
"Rather than having to keep buying expensive feed for all their cattle, some ranchers may choose to liquidate some of their cattle early, he said. "They might put some of their cattle through to the market sooner than they normally would. There are also some assistance programs available to both ranchers and farmers from the USDA Farm Service Agency. I know we try to help them access whatever help is available."
Sinking water tables and slow-pumping wells
In Diamond Valley, producers rely mostly on groundwater and wells to irrigate their fields, rather than irrigation from reservoirs. But, McCuin said they aren't really fairing any better than those relying on the reservoirs.
"Everybody's struggling," he said. "It's groundwater, lack of snow. We had some spring rains, but the lack of snow and too much pinyon-juniper have robbed our groundwater. We've been pumping this Basin dry since 1960."
McCuin says when the water table gets too low, the pumps greatly reduce their output, and then eventually may stop pumping at all. He said at the Great Basin Research & Extension Center, there are three wells that provide water for three 130-acre lots where he is currently growing alfalfa, winter wheat and triticale (a hybrid of wheat and rye) to feed the Center's herd of Rafter 7 sheep, world-renowned for their fine wool and developed at the University 30 years ago.
The Great Basin Research & Extension Center grazes its herd of sheep in Cottonwood Canyon in central Nevada.
"The wells can each pump 1,000 gallons per minute when there's water, but they've been pumping under 500 gallons per minute all summer," he said. "That is, when everything is working. We had some equipment issues this summer. If you have any problems and can't water, you have the potential to lose the crop in the field if you can't get it fixed in four or five days. And, it will set the production back, the tonnage, for sure. There's little margin for error in conditions like this."
McCuin said when all is said and done, they're getting two cuttings at the Center this year, and then just turning the sheep out to pasture what would be a diminished third cutting. He estimates their tonnage will be down 20 to 30%. If that's indicative of the rest of the growers in the area, McCuin said that's a real problem for the local economy.
"What's keeping the valley economically viable at this time is the growing of alfalfa and hay," he said. "We can grow other things, but for lower dollar amounts. With our short growing season and long distance to markets, there's just not a lot of other viable crops."
McCuin says one key to long-term, sustainable production in the valley, and elsewhere in the West, is using the latest technologies to use what water there is as efficiently as possible.

McCuin has encouraged the growers in his valley to put in newer irrigation technologies that spray closer to the ground.
"You don't get the wind, the evaporation," he said. You get a more uniform and efficient application. You also reduce your pumping cost because you reduce the pressure needed to pump the water."
"You can save about 20% of water going from a MESA to a LESA system," he said.
Another tool McCuin has encouraged growers to use is soil moisture sensors, probes that measure or estimate the amount of water in the soil.
But, at times like this, when the soils are all dry and wells are struggling to put out any water at all, McCuin says the sensors aren't of much value, noting that, "Everyone is putting as much as they can on, and not keeping up or barely keeping up as it is.
Taking technology to the next level
Back up on campus at the University's Experiment Station Valley Road Field Lab in Reno, researchers are taking the use of new technologies for agriculture production a step further. Various new technologies are being employed to develop a "smart" deficit irrigation scheduling system capable of identifying irrigation management decisions (when and how much to irrigate) that can help producers achieve the maximum yield that can be obtained with the conditions and water available that season. The work is being led by Assistant Professor Alejandro Andrade-Rodriguez in the College's Department of Agriculture, Veterinary & Rangeland Sciences.

Andrade-Rodriguez says that although alfalfa uses a relatively large amount of water, because of its deep roots, growth duration and extent of ground cover, it is also a good candidate for the application of deficit irrigation strategies, that is, using less water than what would be considered full irrigation while trying to maintain yield and quality. His research is focused on finding new ways to increase the amount of yield obtained per unit of water used for crops relevant to Nevada, focusing on alfalfa first.
Irrigation amounts required to implement these treatments are calculated using hourly data collected by "internet of things" (IoT)-enabled soil moisture-sensing stations and then applied with precision by a drip irrigation system. The degree of stress caused by the irrigation treatments is being monitored with infrared thermometers measuring plant canopy temperature, which is an indicator of plant stress. In addition, every two weeks, plant height and plant canopy cover (how much of the ground is being covered by the plants) are also measured, and aboveground biomass samples are collected.
"Computer science is transforming our everyday lives," he said, "including the way we produce food and forage."

Andrade-Rodriguez is interested to also see the differences they find between the high-production and the drought-tolerant cultivars. He said the trial plots at the Valley Road Field Lab in Reno will continue through next year. He plans to plant a similar trial in Fallon, Nevada, next year, and wants to do a trial in Diamond Valley as well.
"The goal is to have crop models that can help us to provide irrigation management recommendations for our growers in Nevada facing reductions in their water budgets," he said. "The code in our computer programs will be readily available to other researchers, and then maybe others can duplicate what we are doing here and create crop models and computer programs for other arid and semi-arid locations facing similar problems."
Managing drought-stressed fields to help them survive and come back next season
While Andrade-Rodriguez looks for long-term solutions, Foster said, in the meanwhile, growers need to make sure they manage their fields at the end of this season to help the plants survive and come back next year. Although alfalfa is deep-rooted, making it well-adapted to survive long-term drought, Foster said it's essential that the plants' crown and roots remain viable in order for them to be able to recover.
"If enough plants survive for the stand to remain productive, the field should become fully productive again when it recovers from the drought," Foster said.
He said that's about five plants per square foot or 40 stems per square foot. In order to increase the chances of achieving that, he said that producers need to refrain from harvesting their last crops of the season too late.
"Especially when plants are stressed, it's important to make sure they're allowed to replenish the energy and protein stores in the roots, because these support new growth from buds in the crown once conditions improve," he said. "Failure to allow alfalfa to recharge root reserves greatly increases the odds that plants may not survive. Generally, root reserves need between four to six weeks before the first killing frost of the fall to fully recharge before winter dormancy.
Foster says it's also important for producers to make sure to leave enough leaf area, a top growth of at least 6 inches, for photosynthesis to occur, which provides energy to sustain plant functions without depleting energy stored in the roots. But, even so, Foster concedes that drought in late summer and early fall will still reduce the energy stored in the roots for winter survival and spring growth.
"Whether this will be significant will depend on the winter," he said. "Good snow cover will minimize the weak stand effects, and a warm, open winter will exacerbate the weakness of the stands."
"We need to hope that soil moisture increases by next March, so that good root growth and high yields can occur next season."

Is DLTNX a Strong Bond Fund Right Now?
Zacks Equity Research October 04, 2021
DLTNX Quick Quote
DLTNX
You follow Mutual Fund Bond - edit
Mutual Fund Bond
Government Mortgage - Intermediate fund seekers should not consider taking a look at DoubleLine Total Return Bond N (
DLTNX - Free Report) at this time. DLTNX has a Zacks Mutual Fund Rank of 4 (Sell), which is based on nine forecasting factors like size, cost, and past performance.
The world of Government Mortgage - Intermediate funds is an area filled with choices, such as DLTNX. A mortgage-backed security (MBS) is a type of asset-backed security that packages mortgages together and then sells off the pooled securities. Government Mortgage - Intermediate funds focus on this market; this fund category presents a medium risk and yield profile, and concentrates on MBS with at least three years to maturity but less than 10.
Double Line is based in Los Angeles, CA, and is the manager of DLTNX. Since DoubleLine Total Return Bond N made its debut in April of 2010, DLTNX has garnered more than $5.18 billion in assets. A team of investment professionals is the fund's current manager.
Obviously, what investors are looking for in these funds is strong performance relative to their peers. This fund has delivered a 5-year annualized total return of 2.69%, and is in the bottom third among its category peers. Investors who prefer analyzing shorter time frames should look at its 3-year annualized total return of 3.78%, which places it in the bottom third during this time-frame.
When looking at a fund's performance, it is also important to note the standard deviation of the returns. The lower the standard deviation, the less volatility the fund experiences. The standard deviation of DLTNX over the past three years is 3.42% compared to the category average of 11.51%. The standard deviation of the fund over the past 5 years is 2.92% compared to the category average of 9.59%. This makes the fund less volatile than its peers over the past half-decade.
With a beta of 0.74, this fund is less volatile than a broad market index of fixed income securities. Taking this into account, DLTNX has a positive alpha of 0.15, which measures performance on a risk-adjusted basis.
Investors should also consider a bond's rating, which is a grade ( 'AAA' to 'D' ) given to a bond that indicates its credit quality. With this letter scale in mind, DLTNX has 66.81% in high quality bonds rated at least 'AA' or higher. The fund has an average quality of AA, and focuses on high quality securities.
Costs are increasingly important for mutual fund investing, and particularly as competition heats up in this market. And all things being equal, a lower cost product will outperform its otherwise identical counterpart, so taking a closer look at these metrics is key for investors. In terms of fees, DLTNX is a no load fund. It has an expense ratio of 0.74% compared to the category average of 0.79%. DLTNX is actually cheaper than its peers when you consider factors like cost.
While the minimum initial investment for the product is $2,000, investors should also note that each subsequent investment needs to be at least $100.
Overall, DoubleLine Total Return Bond N ( DLTNX ) has a low Zacks Mutual Fund rank, and in conjunction with its comparatively weak performance, better downside risk, and lower fees, this fund looks like a somewhat weak choice for investors right now.
Don't stop here for your research on Government Mortgage - Intermediate funds. We also have plenty more on our site in order to help you find the best possible fund for your portfolio. Make sure to check out www.zacks.com/funds/mutual-funds for more information about the world of funds, and feel free to compare DLTNX to its peers as well for additional information.

Can't say that I do. But August 18th I'm taking off from Charlevoix and headed to Beaver Island. You should join us.
I make it to Northern Lake Michigan as often as I am available to do so. I try to sail out and camp on North Manitou Island at least once a year on my G-Cat 5.7 (in Avatar) .
That is Grand Island in my Avatar photo (not much of a sail but a fun trip none-the-less).
I have yet to sail the bays, however that is where my boat spent most of its life.
I actually came on here today to post in order to see if there is any interest in circumnavigating the lower peninsula(yes, I know you cant actually circumnavigate a peninsula but you know what I mean). I have been wanting to do it for a while now. Maybe start at Warren Dunes S.P. and end at Sterling S.P.?
Lewiston MI, East Twin Lakes most weekends. Walloon for a week mid July.
Mgriff the last two years we took a trip in August around Beaver Island. This year we plan to depart from my house in Ogden Dunes, IN and head up as far north into Michigan as time allows. We should plan on sailing together.
In '75 got a call from friend Don Sapikowsky. "let's sail home" from our CRAM regatta in St Joseph, Mi to my house in St Clair Shores (near Detroit). "It'll take too long Don, find someone to bring a trailer to Machinaw". Second phone call. "Donahue will bring a trailer up". Took us 4 days on our Prindle 16, slept on tramp every night. Awesome going under the bridge ! My neighbor here in Big Bear has a N-6.0 in northern Indiana and there's talk about sailing Lake Muskegon, then up the shore a ways. Pete, Big Bear Lake, Ca.
Pete I remember you telling me about that trip. Now it just so happens I too have a Nacra 6.0 in Northern Indiana... Why don't you two join us in August for a trip up the coast. Ogden Dunes to Mackinac.
Disclaimer I don't know why my pictures become inverted. I even tried rotating them upside down before uploading. When I try to rotate them on this site they become corrupt.
Give a link to the page of your album and I'll see if I can fix the orientation.
Edited by Kevin219 on Dec 19, 2018 - 03:05 PM.
Just moved up to the Petoskey area and regularly join in on the weekend CRAM events but was interested in sailing out to Beaver island this summer.
I'm hoping to partake in a couple CRAM events this summer. I'm in the market for a h16 for just that. As for Beaver Island I'll definitely be headed there this August. You should trailer down to Indiana and take the long way home. It looks like I've successfully recruited mgriff for the journey as well.
One of the regattas will be in your back yard this year :) Jun 21-23 in Michigan City.
I've got a yellow P-16 with orange sail on Bowers Harbor--maybe I'll see you out there sometime this summer.
I have a blue Hobie 16 to get you into CRAM! I believe she is a 1980. She would love a new home to be sailed more. Hard to give equal love to 3 Hobies during a short summer. CRAM's H16 fleet is growing to about 14 boats this year, and maybe even more. When I find them I will post the pictures of the boat.

An unlikely Herro
By Joaquin Santos | November 4, 2019
Since the New Orleans Pelicans drafted Thanos, who we futile human beings recognize as Zion Williamson, with the #1 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the league has not had a more darling rookie since LeBron James back in 2003. ESPN probably had a storyboard ready yesterday for Zion's 2023 free agency saga. There's no question that Williamson deserves the spotlight. A player with his athletic tools and IQ is the kind of player franchises strap their futures to and fanbases entrust with their sanity.
About a week before the Pels' season opener against the Toronto Raptors, a precautionary MRI caught a torn right meniscus in Zion's knee, keeping him out for at least six weeks. Since he's a player who likes to introduces himself using rim-snapping power, doubt naturally began to stain the the coming of Zion.
But the show must go on! And if the first couple of weeks of NBA action is anything to go by (for the most part, it's probably not), we have plenty of exciting talent in this rookie class. So while Thanos is regaining his strength in the comfort of beignets and jazz, who holds the rookie crown?

Enter Tyler Herro.
Before I go on, this is more of a heart pick. He isn't the best player in his class after Zion. Strong early play from Ja Morant, RJ Barrett, and Rui Hachimura is proof enough that Herro's stats won't be as round as theirs, but maybe it doesn't need to be.
Herro has started his NBA career with all guns blazing. In the pre-season, he averaged 14.2 points on 46% shooting and 52% from deep, and only James Harden put up more points off jump shots than him. His production hasn't dipped in the regular season either, which is a very encouraging sign. On the season so far, Herro is up to 16.3 points on 46% shooting and 37% from downtown. Moving forward, we could see Herro's efficiency bump up as Jimmy Butler settles into the Miami offense.
At I stared this article, Herro just dropped 29 on the Hawks off the bench on Jimmy Butler's return to the starting lineup. That's 29 points on 77.8% shooting from the field.
Herro plays like he's in perpetual heat-check mode and continues to find out he still has the hot hand after every shot. Additionally, the malleability he's shown shifting between a starting and reserve role puts himself in Coach Erik Spoelstra's good graces as a reliable plug-and-play option.
On the flip side, the usage Morant and Barrett will enjoy won't be matched by efficiency. There's no doubt about Ja's ball-handling and playmaking, but his shaky jump shot handicaps his ceiling. Barrett looks like he's recovered from a dismal preseason but his questionable shot selection doesn't bode well moving forward.
Other strong candidates like Rui Hachimura and maybe even PJ Washingotn will also likely offer more all-around production than Herro, but the major knock on any other rookie with at least as big a role is that they simply won't win enough.
Herro's responsibility on a winning team is what makes him stand out in his class. Between providing effective and necessary contribution on a playoff team and stat-stuffing on a cellar dweller, a young prospect that can do the former is an absolute gem (see: Malcolm Brogdon). A team like the Heat probably has better playoff odds than most would think. Herro's stock leans on owning one of the starting guard spots or playing as a sixth man that drinks rocket fuel instead of Gatorade.
Also, Herro just has a swagger to his game that matches perfectly with the Miami market. Quick release, pure stroke, icy demeanor, and the flavors on feet to match. Herro could find himself driving a strong feel-good factor around the Heat, which could tip the scales just enough to have the edge in narrative too.
Ultimately, Herro's case as Rookie of the Year hinges on whether or not he can firmly establish himself as someone who can carry a playoff team's offense in spurts without Jimmy Butler, or even alongside him. Early signs say he's definitely capable, and if he does, maybe Zion's claim to the rookie throne isn't as clear as we thought it would be.
Throw as many stones inscribed with "small sample size" as you want to. While you're doing that, Herro's gonna keep shooting.

It twisted my heart just to see him; he was shaking and hungry and pale.
here I sit with my song at the ready; I even bought new strings!
Well' the rules said that I couldn't tell him; but I did what I had to do.
I told him what happens to filk-hogs that never let others play through.


I could never quite understand the media's obsession with Anna Nicole Smith, the former model, actress, and celebrity who was found dead last Thursday in a South Florida hotel room. While I certainly understood how someone like her could gain celebrity status – after all, you don't marry an 89-year-old Texas oil baron who dies the following year, leaving a $1.6 billion inheritance that you spend the better part of a decade fighting over with the guy's family without someone paying attention – I could never figure out what it was about her that the media found so intriguing, or why she felt the need to have her so-called "talent" (or lack thereof) exploited by it.
Perhaps she felt the need to prove to the world that she was someone worth leaving a huge pile of money to, that she wasn't just some conniving golddigger who managed to catch the gold ring (and then some) in life's merry-go-round. Or perhaps she enjoyed and needed the limelight so much that she was willing to go to any length to market herself – even if it meant allowing herself to be publicly humilated by her own 'reality TV' show – and found a more-than-willing accomplice in a media-saturated celebrity culture that holds up the Parises, Lindseys and Anna Nicoles of the world as people with something more to offer society than their own thirst for excess and attention.
For what little I saw of her, she always seemed to me a sad, pathetic, and incredibly self-absorbed human being who spent her days squandering the good fortune life had paid her (no pun intended) and taking her celebrity status way too seriously – as if she thought she really did have some greater talent than most people saw. And I think that, in the end, was what killed her more than anything else – all those stresses, strains, and lifestyle abuses and trappings that go with trying to bridge some immense, invisible gap between the person you want everyone to believe you are and the one you truly are.
Sure, the days to come will likely be filled with stories about the actual cause of her death as determined by the coroner, and there will be continued speculation about how much of a role the shock and depression she must have felt since the strange death of her son five months ago played in her final days. But, regardless of what is printed and endlessly bandied about on the nighttime cable shows, the sad truth will remain that Anna Nicole Smith, for all her riches, lifestyle, and celebrity, had to wait until her death to find the peace and completeness she could never achieve in life.
And maybe there's a lesson there for us all.
Yeah, I agree. I would add something that I've seen elsewhere and that is that she didn't seem to have people close to her who really cared about her. They were just there for the ride.

Special Agent Thomas Holland succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained one week earlier when he was shot in Laramie County, Wyoming while assisting a United States Immigration inspector.
The chief immigration inspector had arrived from Denver to check establishments frequented by Chinese immigrants. They encountered a man who was reported to be in the country illegally. As they walked the man to the sheriff's office for further questioning the subject suddenly pulled out a gun and shot Special Agent Thomas in the stomach as they approached the city fire station on Pioneer Avenue.
He then began to chase the immigration inspector, who ran into the fire station. The subject followed him into the fire station, where he fatally shot Fireman John Federhen, before fleeing.
The subject was arrested, convicted of his murder, and subsequently hanged on March 11th, 1921.
Special Agent Holland had served in law enforcement for 17 years.
Special Agent Holland's photograph is provided courtesy of the Wyoming State Archives, Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources.
this saddens me that special agent Holland was murdered in such a vicious way!!!! I can't find Biily Degan(sp) any where. Why must are Hero's die like this!!!! RIP Billy!!!


Unique pharmaceutical preparation MYRAMISTIN® was developed within the Space Biotechnology Programme. One of the Programme's objectives was to find and develop a new preparation which would effectively fight most pathogenic microorganisms and act so that they would not develop drug resistance. Obviously, the preparation should be most safe for human use both on earth and in space.
As a result of multiple experiments, they managed to develop a preparation which when fighting microorganisms produces no adverse or by-effects on the human organism; moreover, it possesses a number of useful qualities: enhances local immunity, heals inflammatory processes, speeds up wound repair, etc. This newly-developed next generation preparation is MYRAMISTIN®, and it answers the highest efficacy and safety standards both in treatment and preventive care.
Many-sided research of MYRAMISTIN® qualities were conducted in leading laboratories of Russia, Sweden, and Germany. The preparation successfully passed clinical tests in the leading research centres and clinics, such as the N. V. Sklifosovski Research Institute for Emergency Aid (Moscow), the A. V. Vishnevski Surgery Institute under Russian Academy for Medical Sciences (Moscow), the Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy (Moscow), Clinical Research Otorhinolaryngology Centre under the RF Ministry of Health (Moscow), Medical Academy for Postgraduate Education (Saint-Petersburg), the A. A. Bogomol'tsa National Medical University (Kiev), Dagestan National Medical Academy (Makhachkala), the Institute for General and Emergency Surgery (Kharkov), the S. I. Georgievski Crimean National Medical University (Simferopol), Research Institute for Virology and Epidemiology (Odessa), the D. I. Ivanovski Virology Institute under Russian Academy for Medical Sciences (Moscow), the A. N. Bakulev Institute for Cardiovascular Surgery (Moscow), and many others.
Studying MYRAMISTIN® resulted in more than 300 research papers (dissertations, patents, articles, guidelines, etc.).
MYRAMISTIN® belongs to cationic surfactants, namely, to quaternary ammonium compounds. Through numerous clinical and scientific researches it has been proved that MYRAMISTIN® is highly active to bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa, including hospital multiresistant strains and microbial associations; local immunity strengthening and regeneration enhancement qualities of MYRAMISTIN® have also been proved, in addition, absence of harmful effects on human tissues has also been confirmed. Such combination of qualities makes MYRAMISTIN® a successful option for administration for both treatment and prevention of different etiology and localization inflammatory diseases.
Increases mycobacteria sensitivity to antituberculous preparations.
MYRAMISTIN® synergy with antibiotics and other preparations shortens time of therapy and increases its efficiency.
Efficiently fights pathogenic microorganisms causing no harm to human body tissues.
Potentiates monocytic and macrophage activity.
Optimizes processes of lipid peroxidation when administered intrabronchially in patients with bronchus and lungs pathology.
Stimulates and speeds-up epithelization and wounds repair.
Activates clot lysis in the inflammatory tissue.
Does not soak in and has no adverse effect on mucous coats and skin tissues.
No mutagenic, carcinogenic, or embryotoxic action. MYRAMISTIN® treatment of chronic diseases shortens time of therapy, decreases number of back-sets, prolongs remissions.
In some cases, there may be a short-time sensation of burn, but it is not hazardous, passes off by itself and does not require cessation of the therapy.
MYRAMISTIN® is efficient both by itself and when taken with other preparations. MYRAMISTIN® is a colourless transparent liquid forming foam on its surface when shaken. MYRAMISTIN® is tasteless and odourless, although some individuals may taste it as slightly bitter.
Freezing or heating does not kill qualities of MYRAMISTIN®.
