The gentlemen, who had no previous history of heart problems, collapsed in view of a bicyclist. The bicyclist was a nurse and immediately went to the jogger and provided CPR while flagging down two passing gentlemen who called 9-1-1.

I am opposed to the Concealed Carry Bill AB 148 for a myriad of reasons.

Firstly, students and teachers don’t feel safe, meaning that this will effect our learning environments. Students and teachers alike will be more worried about someone pulling a weapon out in a fit of anger and using it than they are about the educational topic they are discussing.

Capital losses first offset capital gains (both long term and short term) including the capital gain distributions from various mutual funds. And, if that does not use all of the losses, then $3,000 can be a deduction on page 1 of form 1040 (U.S. Individual Income Tax Return) with the excess carried over to future years.
