Summer camp teaches kids coding through project-based learning, computer games

Two new mixed-use projects proposed for Downtown area BY MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor

CITY HALL The Planning Commission will debate two development agreements with NMS properties for new, mixed-used projects at their July 22 meeting. Staff members are recommending development agreements for the two projects and have listed the “community benefits” associated with each project. NMS wants to build an 84 foot (six-story) building of approximately 52,545 total square feet with 6,345 square feet of ground floor commercial space, 64 residential units and 105 parking spaces within a three-level subterranean parking garage at 1415 5th St. The project requires a development agreement because it exceeds Courtesy photos

16TH STREET On a cool summer day in a room on 16th Street, a group of programmers sit at long desks moving their little fingers quickly over keyboards. Some of their feet dangle off the edges of chairs, not long enough to reach the ground. None of the coders are earning money for their time spent on the clock. In fact, they are paying for the privilege to be there. These programmers are kids, and they are spending their day learning to code at summer camp. CodeREV Kids is the brainchild of the company’s CEO, Evan S. Boorman. Boorman, 33, formerly a teacher and tutor, prides himself on the mission of his program: to improve the coding literacy of today’s youth. “We teach students to code and program in a project-based format.

Santa Monica College Guardian Scholars Program fosters achievement BY GRACE SMITH Special to the Daily Press

SMC When Marilyn Perez-Garcia ended up in

foster care at 15, college seemed an unachievable dream. This fall, after three years at Santa Monica College, with the support of SMC’s Guardian Scholars program and her own hard work, she is headed to the University of California, Riverside on a full scholarship. The SMC Guardian Scholars program provides support services to foster youth, a population for whom educational disparities are a harsh reality. According to the National Working Group on Foster Care and Education, although 84 percent of high school-aged foster youth want to attend college, only 20 percent of those who graduate from high school move on to college, while only 2 percent to 9 percent of former foster youth obtain a bachelor’s degree. To break that pattern, the Guardian Scholars program offers academic, financial aid and mental health counseling; as well as career planning and workshops addressing essential life skills such as stress management and financial literacy. Six SMC Guardian Scholars, including Perez-Garcia, who eventually plans to go to law school or obtain a master’s in psychology, are transfer-

ring to four-year institutions this year. “I was pretty lost when I went in there,” said Perez-Garcia of the Guardian Scholars office. “They helped me find my way into the right courses so I could eventually transfer. The most beneficial thing was being able to walk into the Guardian Scholars office knowing that they’d never turn me away, even if I just came in there to talk.” Debra Joseph-Locke, the senior student services specialist who oversees Guardian Scholars at SMC, prides herself on maintaining an open-door policy. “I tell students I will see them at any time if I’m not in another meeting,” she said. “Many stop by because they are in crisis.” Housing and hunger are among the biggest challenges. “Many are homeless or living in their car,” Joseph-Locke said. “They don’t necessarily tell you that right off the bat. It takes time to gain their trust.” Students who self-identify as foster youth in their financial aid or SMC applications are then contacted about the Guardian Scholars program. The program also receives referrals from high schools, caregivers and social workers. Those who choose to join Guardian Scholars complete a short in-take application and then meet with Joseph-Locke one-on-one to arrange counseling and other support including housing,

medication, food assistance and transportation support to ensure they can get to and from their classes. The staff even helps students register for auto insurance if needed, and students are reimbursed for non-tuition expenses, like the health fee. SMC received a three-year grant from the Angell Foundation of $48,000 per year to establish Guardian Scholars, and additional support came through grants from the S. Mark Taper Foundation, the Stuart Foundation and the Sidney Stern Memorial Trust. Meanwhile, partnerships with UCLA and Loyola Marymount University give participants access to information on transferring to universities, and activities to enhance their academic futures and build a network of support. Organized visits to the UCLA and LMU campuses, as well as California State University, Northridge and California State University, Los Angeles, also help students make decisions about the best fit for their academic ambitions. Now in its third year, the SMC Guardian Scholars program is steadily growing. The first year saw 59 students enter the program, with 75 participating the second year. “We expect even more for the third year,” said Joseph-Locke, adding that many more who are eligible have not yet taken advantage of the program because of the stigma associat-

We make them feel part of the fabric of the college.” The three-year grant from the Angell Foundation runs out in June 2016 and SMC will seek new funding for Guardian Scholars, including funds through SB 1023, a bill signed by Governor Brown last September which authorized the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office to provide additional funds to up to 10 selected community college districts for special support services for foster youth. In April, SMC Guardian Scholars held its first awareness week designed not just to spread word about the program, but to also break down stereotypes about foster youth. “They want to be productive,” said Joseph-Locke. “They want to be advocates and serve others. Many go into service careers, like social work.” Perez-Garcia, who helped other foster youth by interning at the juvenile dependency court, said that, while she was bullied in high school for being put into foster care, she felt accepted by Guardian Scholars. “My message to anyone in foster care is to know that education is truly a chance at a better life,” she said.

Up on the tightropes, of music and health SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO LEAVE

SANTA MONICA. If the traffic allows, of course. Which it doesn’t. So we all weigh the import of that trip to Hollywood or downtown LA or, God forbid, the Valley. Lunch with God, perhaps, or Magic Johnson, Jon Stewart, Scarlett Johansson or the Pope, Beatles reunion, not much else. Unless you were listening to music with a passion in the ‘70s you may not be familiar with Leon Russell. I won’t go into why he matters so much; his accomplishments and accolades are almost endless but if you don’t feel like Googling just take my word for it. Therefore I girded my traffic loins and gave it a good two hours to get downtown two weeks ago for the screening of his never-released 1975 Les Blank documentary, “A Poem is a Naked Person,” at the sumptuous old United Artists theater in the Ace Hotel. I wouldn’t have pried myself loose from Santa Monica for just the movie: Leon himself was going to be there, for a Q&A with star musicianproducer T Bone Burnett. Can’t top that. Turns out you could, because although I have the highest respect for T Bone’s impressive body of work, he admitted right off that he had not prepared for the Q&A and had no idea what he would ask. That was soon painfully obvious. But here’s the long and short of it. Leon’s a little hard of hearing and needs a cane, but is in great shape otherwise, mentally sharp as ever, and much funnier than I knew him to be. All great news. Despite Burnett’s bungling there was a lot of fascinating, precious info that was revealed that night by this cornerstone musician, songwriter and band wrangler. The doc itself was a product of its time and of Les Blank’s proclivities, worth seeing but hardly up there as one of the best rock docs ever, as was hyped.

GOT MILK, BUT NOT UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE YET

You think it’s history now, with the affirming Supreme Court decision? The miraculous Affordable Care Act (ACA/”Obamacare”) is a huge, historic step, but just the first step to real health assurance in this country. Just last Friday there were two stories in the LA Times Business section that illustrate how far we still need to go. The first was about out-of-network bills. That doctor or surgeon who worked on you in the hospital that your plan covers - surprise! He’s out-ofnetwork, and sending you a whopper of a bill. It’s called “balance billing” and even though California has strong laws protecting consumers, still, one in four of us will get that shocker bill in the mail, reports Consumers Union. I got one for five figures - the bill for heart surgery that gives you a heart attack - and it took maddening months to send it where it should have been sent. The other story was about Aetna being slammed for “price gouging” when it raised rates by 21 percent July 1 on small employers. But, poor dears, they had not had a rate increase since May (yes, two months ago), 19 percent, way back then. But after all, Aetna is kind of strapped, after paying $37B to acquire Humana, and they’re chasing Cigna, so … somebody’s got to pay for their competitive edge. Our director of the California Dept. of Managed Health Care, Shelley Rouillard, stated that out of six “unreasonable” rate increases her agency has criticized since 2011, four were from Aetna, all in the last two years. She said she worries that mergers reward investors at the expense of consumers. (Well - it seems to work out that way in every economic field, even though the swallowing and swallowed companies tell you with straight-faced spokespersons that it will

result in savings that will be passed on to the consumer. Or, actually, I think the wording is always, “savings that can be passed on to the consumer.”) But Rouillard can’t do a thing but quote statistics and criticize, since voters overwhelmingly rejected Prop 45 last year, which would have allowed regulators to block such excessive rate hikes. Lost overwhelmingly? How could that happen? Do you suppose any insurance company money hit the election, to confuse the issues, to make all those people vote against their safeguard, against their own best interests? Nah, that’s never happened, not in our democracy. Aetna rejected Rouillard’s request to forego the increase. What a surprise. Their spokeswoman said, “We are making every effort to maintain an affordable array of products.” The problem here, folks, is real simple. It’s insurance companies. They are very expensive middlemen who are completely unnecessary. Medicare and Medicaid, despite some inevitable corruption that is so far below the level of the gouging of the insurance companies it doesn’t even compare, have for half a century proved the government can deliver single payer health care that works so well, saves so many lives and homes and families, that no one in their right mind would think of junking it. (Republicans, of course, do.) If you want to hear this from experts, from doctors, the perfect place is right here in Santa Monica, this Sunday. A garden party fundraiser honoring Medicare’s 50th birthday is being held this Sunday, July 26, 25 p.m., at 939 San Vicente Blvd. The home and grounds are lovely, the food outstanding, there will be live music and fascinating folk to converse

Geographic racism shops and meetings we put together the plan that ultimately restored the Pier. I have spent many hours with an amazing set of friends, business people and fellow Californians thinking about and working on the best ways to protect our cherished and loved Santa Monica Pier. So, when I hear racist statements, as I noted above, I consider them to be prejudiced and harmful attitudes as well as mean hearted, wrong and divisive. They anger and offend me. Such statements stand against every thing that wonderful Pier represents: a place for all, a place for fun, a place of happiness, a place of natural beauty for all of us to enjoy, experience and love. It is our landmark and our Pier. And, I know the racist statement noted above is not the sentiment of the residents of Santa Monica, Southern California and our state. I know that we all agree with the language of the California Coastal Zone Conservation Act of 1972 that instructs us, in part, “The people of the State of California find and declare that the California coastal zone is a distinct and valuable natural resource belonging to all of the people…” Together, we must protect this great resource. We must stand down against those that would

the most important part of our Constitution whose intention is to make our country a “more perfect Union.” It is important because it allows all of us to advocate on matters of concern. And, in doing so, we keep our democracy vibrant and alive. So, when the First Amendment allows hateful or prejudiced speech we realize that even that speech is protected because we believe that the overriding principle of freedom of expression is paramount. This complex and awkward system of ours allowed a very sad and offensive statement to be presented to you the other evening. In a discussion about the Pier concerts at last week’s City Council meeting a person said imagine what will happen when the Expo opens and all the people from East Los Angeles come here. I interpret that statement to mean that the person addressing the Council did not want to see Hispanics coming to Santa Monica because the speaker was anticipating that bad things would happen. As background, the City Council appointed me to the citizens’ committee to restore the Pier after the storms in the early 1980’s. In fact, I chaired that committee and after a year of work-

seek to take away access to our precious coast and its fabled pier. After nearly 30 great years in Santa Monica I now live in the Koreatown section of Los Angeles. I plan to be on that Expo line so that I can join so many others in enjoying your great city and our great Pier. I can’t wait to take that first Expo ride! So, I ask that we remain vigilant in protecting access to the beach and the Pier. The Coastal Act, the spirit of California and the whole reason why we live here dictates that we keep access open to all. I know residents of Santa Monica will reject hateful attitudes that are racist; that seek to make the coastline a place of exclusion. The Pier stands today as a result of a citizens’ movement and ballot measure to “Save the Pier Forever.” A previous City Council sought to tear it down and build an island. Many people, many of whom we all know, lead that great fight to save the Pier, which then lead to an overwhelming vote in support of the Pier. That is our legacy and our mission forward. We must never let the cynics cause us to forget that heritage.

Why airlines keep pushing biofuels: They have no choice JONATHAN FAHEY & SCOTT MAYEROWITZ AP Business Writers

The number of global fliers is expected to more than double in the next two decades. In order to carry all those extra passengers, airlines are turning to a technology very few can make work on a large scale: converting trash into fuel. They have no other choice. As people in countries such as China, India and Indonesia get wealthier they are increasingly turning to air travel for vacation or business, creating an enormous financial opportunity for the airlines. The number of passengers worldwide could more than double, to 7.3 billion a year, in the next two decades, according to the International Air Transport Association. But many in the industry believe that without a replacement for jet fuel, that growth could be threatened by forthcoming rules that limit global aircraft emissions. “It’s about retaining, as an industry, our license to grow,” says Julie Felgar, managing director for environmental strategy at plane maker Boeing, which is coordinating sustainable biofuel research programs in the U.S., Australia, China, Brazil, Japan and the United Arab Emirates. Cars, trucks and trains can run on electricity, natural gas, or perhaps even hydrogen someday to meet emissions rules. But lifting a few hundred people, suitcases and cargo 35,000 feet into the sky and carrying them across a continent requires so much energy that only liquid fuels can do the trick. Fuel from corn, which is easy to make and supplies nearly 10 percent of U.S. auto fuel, doesn’t provide enough environmental benefit to help airlines meet emissions rules. “Unlike the ground transport sector, they don’t have a lot of alternatives,” says Debbie Hammel, a bioenergy policy expert at the Natural Resources Defense Council. That leaves so-called advanced biofuels made from agricultural waste, trash, or specialty crops that humans don’t eat. United Airlines last month announced a $30 million stake in Fulcrum Bioenergy, the biggest investment yet by a U.S. airline in alternative fuels. Fulcrum hopes to build facilities that turn household trash into diesel and jet fuel. FedEx, which burns 1.1 billion gallons of jet fuel a year, promised Tuesday to buy 3 million gallons per year of fuel that a company called Red Rock Biofuels hopes to make out of wood waste in Oregon. Southwest Airlines had already agreed to also buy some of Red Rock’s planned output. These efforts are tiny next to airlines’ enormous fuel consumption. U.S. airlines burn through 45 million gallons every day.

NEW YORK

But airlines have little choice but to push biofuels because the industry is already in danger of missing its own emissions goals, and that’s before any regulations now being considered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and international agencies. The industry’s international trade group has pledged to stop increasing emissions by 2020 even as the number of flights balloons. By 2050, it wants carbon dioxide emissions to be half of what they were in 2005. Airlines would be one of the largest biofuel users, along with the U.S. military, the single largest energy consumer in the country, which has turned to the alternative fuels to help wean itself off petroleum for strategic and financial reasons. Making biofuels at large, commercial scale is difficult and dozens of companies have gone belly up trying. The logistics of securing a steady, cheap supply of whatever the fuel is to be made from can take years. Financing a plant is expensive because lenders know the risks and demand generous terms. A sharp drop in the price of crude oil has made competing with traditional fuels on price more difficult. The airlines are now seeing some of these difficulties up close. A United program to power regular flights between Los Angeles and San Francisco with fuels made from agricultural waste was delayed when the fuel producer, AltAir, had trouble retrofitting the existing refinery. The companies now say the flights should begin in August. Red Rock’s planned deliveries to Southwest have also been pushed back, to 2017 from 2016, and construction of the plant has not yet started. But many in the industry say they are not surprised, or daunted, by the time and effort it will take to bring large amounts of biofuels, at competitive prices, to market. “We really are trying to create a brand new fuel industry,” says Boeing’s Felgar. “We’ve always known this is a long term play, and our industry is long term.” And if any industry is going to crack fuel from waste on a big scale, the airline industry might be the best bet. Instead of having to build the infrastructure to distribute and sell these fuels at hundreds of thousands of gas stations, jet fuel only has to be delivered to a small number of major airports. For example, nearly half of United’s passengers fly through its five hubs in Houston, Chicago, Newark, San Francisco and Denver. Still, after the many disappointments that have plagued biofuel development, few want to promise an imminent biofuel revolution. “I’m not Pollyannaish about this,” says Felgar. “I’m not optimistic, I’m not pessimistic, but I’m determined.”

celebration Friday afternoon at the offices of WISE & Healthy Aging in Downtown Santa Monica, where the people who see Romano on a daily basis gathered to celebrate a man who was born during the Woodrow Wilson administration. There are roughly 55,000 centenarians in the country, comprising about 0.02 percent of the nation’s population, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report issued last year. And more than 80 percent of them are female, making Romano an even more rare specimen. Romano doesn’t have any secrets for his longevity, or at least any that he’s willing to share, but he said staying away from tobacco, traveling around the world and trying to maintain a positive attitude have probably helped his cause. Wearing a red and gray argyle sweater over a striped collared shirt, dark pants and black slip-on shoes, Romano takes time between short conversations with friends to share stories about his life. Born in Brooklyn on July 18, 1913, he is the youngest of five children and the only one still living. All of his siblings made it into their 90s. Romano attended Erasmus Hall High School, whose list of former students also includes music icons Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond, among other dignitaries. During World War II he served as a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army Transportation Corps, leading to a long career in interstate commerce. He ran a freight and transportation consultancy before retiring in his 80s.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 2015

California has the country’s largest portion of centenarians with more than 5,900, according to 2010 census data, and Romano is a proud member of the club. A former elder at First Christian Church, he has called Santa Monica home since 1966. “I was tired of New York City,” he said. He and his wife, Doris Claire Romano, were married for 69 years. She passed away four years ago, living past her 94th birthday despite going through several packs of cigarettes a day. “I don’t smoke at all,” Romano said. “I wouldn’t touch the stuff.” These days, Romano lives with his daughter, Janice Schutz, in Santa Monica. He also has a son, Ken, and a grandson, Eugene Georgescu, who is an Air Force pilot. Three days a week he spends time at WISE & Healthy Aging. He loves eating Subway sandwiches. He enjoys listening to songs by Patsy Cline. Socorro Vallejo, a volunteer at the locally based social services nonprofit, said she’s constantly impressed by his dominance in dominoes, Romano’s favorite game. “He always wins,” she says. “And I’m playing fair. He’s really good.” Romano also likes watching “Boardwalk Empire,” a television show that has brought forth memories of growing up during Prohibition. He recalls that his father, Giuseppe Romano, a schooner captain who immigrated to the United States from Italy, used to bring home marsala wine bottles in wooden cases. Decades later, Romano waves at a digital camera and pauses to assess his wellbeing. “I’m feeling fine,” he said.

PROJECTS: CodeREV uses project based learning to encourage kids to learn about computers.

ing a very useful skill. They are also learning the logic that is involved in programming that is transferable to many different types of learning.” Boorman, an attendee of both Franklin Elementary and Lincoln Middle schools, is a huge supporter of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) learning and was teaching and tutoring in those categories long before the strong push in our society to get kids interested in those subjects. And the way Boorman is teaching kids these subjects is two-fold: through projectbased learning and good old-fashioned fun. With project-based learning, the students are able to program their own video games, build robots and design their own websites and apps. Boorman said the idea behind this method is that the kids will take their projects home and expand upon them and might even have a strong portfolio by the time college rolls around. Another way Boorman has achieved his goal of reaching more and more kids is by offering a fun vehicle through which to learn, one of which is the popular computer game Minecraft. “Motivation is such a huge element in learning,” Boorman said. “You know, if a student has a desire to learn the student is so much more likely to grasp the concepts that are trying to be taught.” Boorman believes that the motivational element often gets lost in the teaching process. “Students are being taught math with pen and paper and they’re taught the operations but often not understanding why this matters, why I should care, how this applies to my life or how it’s going to apply to my future. But by framing it in a platform that students understand and love, they become excited about doing it, and that motivation is there. They want to solve the problems. They want to figure them out. They want to build them.” Boorman said Minecraft just happens to

provide a framework that’s good for math because it’s a 3D block framework that works with arithmetic, algebra and geometry, and also shows how they all relate to each other. “So we actually have students build math problems and then derive the equations. It’s pretty amazing.” One of CodeREV Kids 14 instructors, Luis Morales, teaches three to four classes a day at the summer camp, including “Mathcraft.” Morales, 26, has written some successful lead generating software programs professionally, in addition to being a long time tutor. “I’ve taught before, but the best part about teaching here is that the kids think they are playing but they are actually learning,” Morales said. According to Boorman, coding is essential for the next generation. In Chicago, two years of coding education just became a requirement in every high school and in England students between six and 14 must go through coding instruction in at least two languages. CodeREV Kids summer camp costs $545 per week for a full day (8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.) and $295 for half days (8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. or 1:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m.). But the company offers more than just their summer camps, with monthly membership and programs provided throughout the school year. Boorman’s company has also been partnering with schools in the area to show teachers how to teach their students coding and come in for daylong workshops with students. CodeREV Kids is also currently in an initiative with the LAtinas, a female Latina high school group, where they are instructing them on how to program their own websites to turn into a business or blog. Apart from his own program, Boorman has high hopes for what will happen with coding in schools in the next few years. “I’d like to see more schools here in LA moving more quickly into incorporating, really incorporating coding into their regular classroom curriculum,” Boorman said. “I know the change is slow. But I can see it happening.” jennifer@smdp.com

Flood damage to California bridges worse than suspected JUSTIN PRITCHARD Associated Press

LOS ANGELES The damage to interstate highway bridges from flash flooding in Southern California’s desert over the weekend proved more widespread than initially thought, with construction crews working Tuesday to reinforce spans over three gullies. In light of the damage, some outside engineers warned that the California Department of Transportation may need to adopt tougher design and protection standards for highway bridges, particularly with abnormally heavy rains possible in the coming months because of the ocean-warming phenomenon known as El Nino. Flooding touched off by unusually intense rainfall of nearly 7 inches Sunday washed away boulders and soil under an ele-

vated portion of Interstate 10 near the town of Desert Center, about 50 miles from the Arizona state line, causing the collapse of the eastbound side of the bridge and severely weakening the westbound side. One person was hospitalized with broken ribs, a shattered knee and lacerations to his liver, and the main highway between Los Angeles and Phoenix was severed, forcing 54,000 daily vehicles to take a several-hours detour. After the collapse, Caltrans inspectors found erosion under two other I-10 bridges a few miles to the west, and workers labored to reinforce all three spans by pouring more concrete and replacing the protective boulders that were swept away, said Mike Beauchamp, a Caltrans deputy district director. Authorities hope to reopen the westbound lanes around the collapse site to twoway traffic within weeks. Reconstruction of

the fallen eastbound span will take longer. Caltrans said it inspected 10 bridges over I-10 on Monday and expected to complete the remaining 34 on Tuesday. The bridge that washed out was built in 1967 and easily passed a March safety inspection. It had been “armored” with boulders lining the gully that runs under the span. The gully is normally dry but can flood during the sudden and intense rainstorms that happen in the desert. Caltrans said the span would have withstood the flooding if the water had barreled down the middle of the natural channel, but its path shifted, as can happen in the desert, concentrating its full force on the western bank. The soil in that area cannot absorb that much water quickly. Armin W. Stuedlein, an engineering professor at Oregon State University who stud-

ies how structures such as bridges interact with soil, said that in the wake of the collapse, there may be “room for improvement” in bridge design and protection standards. Caltrans had no immediate comment. Stuedlein noted that this stretch of I-10 has several dozen similar bridges. “Any one of those gullies on any given storm event could be the bad actor,” he said. Another engineer said he worries that the kind of flooding seen Sunday could increase in coming months because of El Nino. The periodic warming of the Pacific Ocean waters could bring heavier-than-normal rains to drought-stricken California. “As the prospects for El Nino continue to grow, what happened a couple of days ago is probably going to recur,” said Ziyad Duron, an engineering professor at Harvey Mudd College.

Crime Watch is culled from reports provided by the Santa Monica Police Department. These are arrests only. All parties are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

ON JULY 5 AT APPROXIMATELY 12:30 P.M. A victim briefly left his cell phone unattended on table inside the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at 200 Santa Monica Blvd. When the victim returned, he saw his cell phone was missing and male subject he believed took his property was walking away. The victim confronted the suspect, who pulled a knife from his pocket, exposed the blade, and then threatened to cut the victim. The victim followed the suspect as he walked to the Santa Monica Pier. Once at the pier, the victim flagged down officers from the Santa Monica Police Department and directed them to the suspect’s location. While the officers were speaking with him, the suspect moved his shirt and exposed a concealed knife in his pocket. Officers removed a four-inch folding knife from the suspect’s pocket and saw the blade was locked in the open position. When officers asked about the knife; the suspect claimed he uses it for protection from the victim, whom he said was stalking him. Officers then found the victim’s cell phone inside the suspect’s belongings and took him into custody. The suspect was identified as Alexis Calderon, homeless. Bail was set at $50,000.

■ In 1993, the owner of the iconic 5Pointz building in New York City began allowing graffiti artists to use the walls for their masterpieces, but by 2013 had grown weary of the building’s look and had the walls whitewashed. In June 2015, nine of the artists filed a federal lawsuit demanding that the owner compensate them, substantially, for destroying their creations -- and they stand a good chance of collecting (under the Visual Artists Rights Act) if they prove their particular works are of “recognized stature” and not merely art of an “ephemeral nature.” At its height, 5Pointz attracted more than 350 artists’ works from around the world.

SHEPARD

■ A June entry in Wired.com’s “Absurd Creature of the Week” series warned of the Beaded Lacewing that preys on termites by first immobilizing them with a “vapor-phase toxicant” released from its anus. The silent-but-deadly gas is reportedly powerful enough to disable six ordinary termites for up to three hours (plenty of time for a sumptuous meal of termite) and weaken several more that might get caught in the backdraft. Wired.com also learned of the related species Chrysoperla comanche, whose anal weaponry is in solid form, wielded by “master contortionists” who lift their abdomens in order to directly contact their victims’ head.

The contest for Artsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sake by Colin Newton Giive is on the lookout for some great photographic works of art ... about The Arts! We're so on the lookout that we're going to pay $75 to one talented shutterbug and their winning photo will appear on this nonproďŹ t helperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website (giive.org), blog, social media and print publications like The Santa Monica Daily Press. Your picture's going to keep giving and giving and giving.

There are no rules! Check that, there is one rule: The photo has to depict The Arts. What does that mean? Well, the great thing about art is that it's limitless, bound only by our ingenuity and imaginations. Michelangelo and Rembrandt were artists, but so are Ariana Grande and Ansel Elgort. Expose yourself to some exposures, peruse some Picassos, watch some Pretty Little Liars. Whatever it takes to get those creative juices ďŹ&#x201A;owing, then get out there and submit your snaps.

This year you open up more to those who are involved in your day-to-day life. Though you can be very business-oriented, your domestic life takes a higher priority. You value your home life, and you display your caring through it. Some of you might remodel your home or decide to move. If you are single, you will entertain a lot. A party at your place could set the scene for meeting someone who adds a great deal of romance to your life. If you are attached, the two of you often go off together just to share the closeness you value. You are also likely to spend some money on an item that improves your communication. LIBRA helps you feel centered and appreciated.
