			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse (CALA) is celebrating its 15-year anniversary this year, and joining forces with George Coles to promote awareness and open dialogue in a time when we need it most. People across the country are realizing that lawsuit abuse is having a big impact on health care costs, small business survival and overall jobs &amp; economy.</p>
<p>On October 6<sup>th</sup>, Coles and CALA are co-hosting an event that features two nationally prominent advocates of legal reform- Hugh Hewitt, a national radio talk show host, law professor, lawyer &amp; author, &amp; Philip K. Howard, author of <em>The Death of Common Sense</em> and <em>Life Without Lawyers: Liberating Americans From Too Much Law</em>. Mr. Hewitt will be broadcasting his radio show live from Coles Fine Flooring. We invite you to be a part of the live studio audience as we discuss the state of lawsuit abuse.</p>
<p>Please join our own George Coles and other business and community leaders, lawmakers, candidates and the media in supporting the call for legal reform.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>KSDS Jazz 88.3 FM, a broadcast service of San Diego City College, has announced that it will continue the “Music Matters” program in support of music education in local schools for a fifth consecutive year.</p>
<p>For one month, February 1-February 29, San Diegans can donate their used musical instruments at any Coles Fine Flooring location (<a href="http://www.colesfineflooring.com">colesfineflooring.com</a>) in San Diego County, or at the KSDS Business office on the City College campus. All instruments will be completely refurbished by the Community Council for Music in the Schools (CCMS) and then distributed among San Diego City School music programs.</p>
<p>Since introducing the program in 2005, over 240 instruments have been donated to the San Diego City Schools. The goal in 2009 is to match this number of instruments, greatly benefiting school-aged children in San Diego County.</p>
<p>’<strong>Music Matters</strong>’ is simply another way that we are able to give back to the San Diego Community as well as further music education for young people, ” said Mark DeBoskey Station Manager for KSDS. “The goal of this program is to provide instruments to children who want to play music, yet might not have the financial means to buy their own.”</p>
<p>Additional information and drop-off location information is available at 619-388-3037 and <a href="http://www.jazz88.org" target="_blank">www.jazz88.org</a>.</p>
