Having worked with Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl since the first day of his campaign in 2005, District 11 candidate Mike Bonin says the Westside has the "highest level" of community and neighborhood participation on any issue.
"I think it's the most active, informed and engaged district in the city," he told Patch. "That makes the nature of the Los Angeles City Council different here than in other districts, because you have tremendous partners here in every community."
Bonin said Mar Vista resident Chuck Ray knows more about the Department of Water and Power rates than the DWP director, and Pacific Palisades resident Chris Spitz knows more about cell phone tower regulations than probably anyone in the city. Bonin added that many reliable leaders of the entertainment industry reside in Brentwood.
One of the major challenges in downtown L.A. is overcoming the occasional perception that since District 11 is a wealthy district, it doesn't need anything, he noted.
"There's a constantly struggle to correct that misconception," Bonin said, adding that, if elected, he wants to get more police and fire department services for District 11, particularly in the northern portion.
"When we lost an engine company at Station 69, that is a huge issue for me," Bonin said. "The fact that 911 response times are so slow in Pacific Palisades and Brentwood, particularly on those winding canyon roads, is a huge problem."
Prior to working with Rosendahl, Bonin said he's been a community leader and grassroots activist with a track record of fighting for Westside neighborhoods for nearly two decades.
"To deliver for our neighborhoods, you need to know how government works," he said.
What Bonin learned from Rosendahl
"Bill Rosendahl has a bigger heart, a stronger sense of optimism and a more boundless positive spirit than anyone I've ever met," Bonin said. "I've learned from him how you can create change, and move our neigbrohoods in a positive direction."
Bonin said as Rosendahl's chief of staff you have to "be a traffic cop," when having to deny spending money and resources on an tough initiative.
"Bill always forced the 'yes,'" Bonin added.
If elected, Bonin said he will expand on Rosendahl's transparent approach with his constituents by holding office hours twice a month at different locations, and consider nights and weekends for those who have tough schedules. He's also considering hosting "communty chats," if elected, and wants to use technology more to keep residents more connected to government
"I want to take his level of transparency an accessibility and put it on steroids," Bonin said. "It doesn't make sense to me to talk to nieces and nephews on east coast very easily on Skype or something else, but if someone needs to testify at a planning hearing, they need to take day off work, fight traffic and sit on bench downtown."
When asked if his campaign has an advantage since he's so closely connected with Rosendahl, Bonin said that his experience working in the city for 17 years adds to not just what he learned becoming chief of staff with the city councilman.
"I think we all run the experiences we have and the vision we express," Bonin said. "And having worked to get stuff for neighborhoods for the past 17 years, that gives me a lot of experience, a lot of know-how and, I think, a lot of vision to make our neigborhoods stronger and make our city better."
Bonin said he's worked to get more cops for Westside neighborhoods, build new playgrounds and skate parks, help clean up the local environment, help cut taxes to keep good jobs here in the district, work with communities and agencies to synchronize traffic signals and start building the Expo line.
If elected, Bonin said he would take on the same committee assignments at city hall as Rosendahl, and would like to be appointed by Los Angeles' next mayor for the Metro Board of Directors.
Key transportation subjects
- Bonin said by 2015 the Expo line will be extended all the way to the Westside, and he's currently on the construction authority overseeing that. He added that, since it's being projected the Expo will carry more people than the I-10 Freeway, Metro, Santa Monica Big Blue Bus and Culver City Bus become more coordinated and integrated with the Expo Line.
- Additionally, Bonin said in the next five years he'd like to get the Green Line to LAX, and, sadly, since it's probably a generation away, he added he'd like to see a north-south transit line from San Fernando Valley to LAX.
- Bonin said he'd like to see a trolly and shuttle system, at least from the top of Lincoln Boulevard, take some pressure off gridlock, and would like to see LAX create some flyaway shuttles for Venice and Santa Monica.
- With Rosendahl's success on promoting bicycling in the city, Bonin said he will look to continue building out the bicycling network with more lanes.
- Bonin wants to alleviate the issues of traffic on Sunset Boulevard near the 405 Freeway project in Brentwood, such as red light cameras to prevent vehicles from blocking intersections, additional traffic control officers, addressing streets used as cut-through traffic and other calming measures.
Thoughts on LAX's future
Prior to Tuesday's decision by the Airport Commission to move a runway 260 feet north closer to Westchester and Playa del Rey homes, Bonin said he supported alteratives 2 and 9, regarding the reconfiguration of the airfield and ground transportation system, respectively. He said he's worked on this issue since the late 1990s with former City Councilwoman Ruth Galanter, Congresswoman Jane Harman and Councilman Rosendahl.
"I share Bill's mantra of 'modernization yes, expansion no,'" Bonin added.
Findings by NASA Ames showed there was no compelling reason to move the runway north and that, to make it safer, add more runway status lights and add better federal government staffing to the air traffic control tower.
Homeless in Venice
Rosendahl and Bonin tout a strong track record to working with those less fortunate and responding to that population in Venice. Bonin cited the Project Assisting The Homeless agreement has helped considerably.
He said Rosendahl apologized for the process used to get the storage locker near Venice Beach so people unhoused are able to store their belongings before heading north at night to the shelter.
"There can be very strong and loud voices on either end of a spectrum," Bonin said, highlighting the issue of Los Angeles' homelessness at the city council. "On most local decisions, most people reside in the reasonable middle. It's important to do the hard work for listening for some of the quieter voices to realize where the reasonable middle is, and to work with people who are genuine."

Pulitzer Prizes Awarded
The best in journalism was honored April 7, 2008, at Columbia University with the awarding of the Pulitzer Prize, journalism's highest honor.
Awards were given in 21 categories, including 14 journalism categories. The public service award — which comes with a prestigious gold medal — is given to a news organization. All other winners receive $10,000 each.
This year, The Washington Post won the public service award for exposing the poor treatment of injured war veterans at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The stories shocked the country and prompted government reforms at all U.S. veteran hospitals.
The award for investigative journalism went to two newspapers: The New York Times for its coverage on toxic medicine from China, and the Chicago Tribune for exposing the faults in government regulation that resulted in recalls of children's toys, cribs and car seats.
The award for news photography went to Andrees Latif of Reuters. Preston Gannaway of the Concord (N.H.) Monitor received the Pulitzer for feature photography.
These images will become part of the Newseum's permanent and traveling exhibits of all Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs. The exhibit catalog, "The Pulitzer Prize Photographs: Capture the Moment," showcases the prize-winning photographs and reveals the stories behind them. View the Newseum's Pulitzer Prize Photographs Gallery.
Since 1917, Columbia University has recognized remarkable achievements in journalism, arts and letters, thanks to a bequest from crusading publisher Joseph Pulitzer. In his will, he endowed the university with $2 million for a school of journalism and "prizes or scholarships for the encouragement of public service, public morals, American literature and the advancement of education."

Branding season is an important time of the year, not only for cattle health and well-being, but as a time for networking and fellowship with neighbors. With that networking comes a great responsibility to continue to work to provide a safe and wholesome product for the consumer. Producers need to be aware of and follow proper Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) guidelines during brandings and communicate that to their branding crew, especially in the administration of injections.
Below is an overview of the Steps in Administering Injections Properly:

UNICOM solidDB
UNICOM solidDB is an in-memory database optimized for extreme speed and extreme availability.
Press Release: UNICOM® Global Acquires solidDB® from IBM® Corp.
Existing Customer? Click here for solidDB Customer Registration
UNICOM solidDB® delivers extreme speed as a persistent, relational in-memory database that meets performance and reliability demands of real-time applications.
solidDB is known worldwide for delivering data with extreme speed. There are more than 3,000,000 deployments of solidDB in telecommunications networks, enterprise applications, and embedded software & systems. Market leaders such as Cisco, HP, Alcatel, and Nokia Siemens rely on it for their mission-critical applications.
UNICOM solidDB provides an ideal platform to build in-memory, real-time, enterprise applications that include universal caching. Compatibility enhancements make migrating applications to solidDB easy. Enhanced scalability and transparent failover with solidDB lowers overall total cost of ownership. Improvements in the latest release bring more reliability and faster performance to key OLTP workloads with the solidDB Universal Cache feature.
UNICOM solidDB Universal Cache Feature
UNICOM solidDB Universal Cache is the industry's first relational, in-memory database caching feature that accelerates virtually all leading relational databases, increasing their performance up to ten times. It uses the familiar SQL language to enable applications to achieve tens of thousands of transactions per second with response times measured in microseconds. By combining the relational, in-memory data management capabilities of solidDB Universal Cache with the versatility of disk-based databases, applications benefit from the best of both worlds.
UNICOM solidDB Hybrid Server Architecture
Pure in-memory databases are fast, but strictly limited by the size of memory. Pure disk-based databases allow nearly unlimited amounts of storage, but their performance is dominated by disk access. Even if the computer has enough memory to store the entire database in memory buffers, database servers that are designed for disk-based tables can be slow because the data structures that are optimal for disk-based tables are far from being optimal for in-memory tables. The solidDB solution is to provide a single hybrid database server that contains two optimized engines inside it:
- The main-memory engine (MME) is optimized for in-memory access.
- The disk-based engine (DBE) is optimized for disk-based access.
Both engines coexist inside the same server process, and a single SQL statement can access data from both engines.
- Extreme Speed: solidDB relies on relational, in-memory database technology to achieve throughput of tens of thousands of transactions per second with response times measured in microseconds.
- Extreme availability: solidDB delivers extreme availability because it maintains two copies of the data synchronized at all times. In case of system failure, applications can recover access to solidDB in less than a second without loss of data.
- Low cost: solidDB is easy to deploy and administer, with the ability to be embedded directly into applications and run virtually unattended for lower total cost-of-ownership.
- Universal Caching: solidDB Universal Cache feature accelerates leading relational databases by caching performance critical data stored in these databases into solidDB Universal Cache.
- Adaptability: solidDB is highly adaptable to meet a wide variety of different application and deployment needs. It provides powerful schema mapping and data transformation capabilities and scales both vertically and horizontally.
- Robustness: solidDB Universal Cache feature preserves data durability by persisting data to disk using checkpointing and transaction logging. It also offers high availability and instant failover from one instance to another if deployed in a two-node, hot-standby configuration.

Greene's Goal Line Stand - 1st Edition
By Jonathan Greene
00:03, 00:02, 00:01, 00:00. Game Over. Over 64,000 spectators have just watched Texas finish off Arizona State, 52-34, in the 2007 Holiday Bowl. Fans depart Qualcomm Stadium for destinations from San Diego to Texas and elsewhere having enjoyed another fantastic Pacific Life Holiday Bowl experience. Local fans may think that this is a wrap for bowl organizers and that planning will lay idle until late 2009.
"Not so fast my friends," to steal a line from a popular ESPN college football commentator. The San Diego Bowl Game Association (SDBGA) and its events do not disappear until the next holiday season. The Holiday Bowl and its sister game, the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, feature special events throughout the entire year.
One of the most frequently asked questions to any SDBGA organizer is, "Now what do you do for the rest of the year?" Plenty. Beginning in April, the SDBGA hosts 24 special events in addition to the two bowl games. These events include the Maui Jim Outrigger Challenge & Wells Fargo Luau, the Jack in the Box 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament, the Wells Fargo Golf Classic, the Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals, the Barona $1 Million Hole-in-One Shootout and the nationally-televised Port of San Diego Big Bay Balloon Parade.
"Producing the bowl games truly has become a year-around endeavor," said SDBGA Executive Director Bruce Binkowski. "The cost of doing business in this industry has increased considerably in recent years, so it's imperative that we produce these events throughout the calendar to help offset these expenses."
Putting on just one bowl game is a lot of work, but to stage two games within one week is a daunting enough task. Add 24 other events and activities and it's easy to see that the volunteers and staff have a tremendous challenge. A challenge that begins almost immediately after the calendar changes to a new year.
A staff of ten augments a team comprised of a board of directors, committee and hundreds more volunteers to do the almost impossible. Their roles cover everything from rolling out the red carpet when the teams arrive at their hotel to helping secure corporate sponsorships.
"This is a volunteer organization," said 2008 SDBGA President Larry Baber. "If we don't have this tremendously loyal group of community-minded individuals and groups, then San Diego doesn't have bowl games."
Not a football fan? No problem. The other special events provide San Diegans and others a variety of ways to be involved with the organization throughout the year.
If you are into outriggers, you're covered. In late April, participants enjoyed a day of paddling, food and fun at the Maui Jim Outrigger Challenge at Bahia Point, Mission Bay. All skill levels of outriggers were on display in the canoes. No paddling experience was necessary, as the Hanohano Outrigger Canoe Club provided proper equipment and instructions. From a field of 83 five-person teams, team captain Ryan Goforth and "Paddle This!" were crowned champions of the this year's event.
If being in the water is not your thing, head to the dry land and the asphalt courts of the Jack in the Box 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament, held on the weekend of May 17-18. Over 140 teams of weekend warriors and hoopsters challenged one another in this popular event at Crown Point Shores. There were 17 divisions, including brackets for men and women, of all ages and abilities. The weekend also featured the AT&T 3-Point Shootout and San Diego Mudd Club Free Throw Challenge.
Okay, so no water and no concrete, no worries. Why not play a round of golf on the lawns of the Sycuan Resort Golf Course for the Wells Fargo Golf Classic? The scramble-format tournament, held this year on June 23rd, is always a highlight on the local golf calendar. The day begins with a gourmet lunch, before the players tee off at noon for the shotgun start. After golf, participants enjoyed the cocktail reception/silent auction held in the clubhouse.
Maybe you do not want to participate in an event, but you have a four-legged friend who might. You're covered as well. The popular and fun Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals are in action on August 30 at Qualcomm Stadium. The winner of the San Diego final will advance and join winning dogs from all around the Western U.S. at the Port of San Diego Big Bay Balloon Parade presented by the San Diego County Credit Union on December 29. Any dachshund may participate!
Want to become a millionaire? Who doesn't?! For ten days, golfers of all ages and skill levels can pay $1 per ball to take their best shot at making a hole-in-one or coming the closest to the 125-yard pin. The top ten golfers on each of the qualifying days win great daily prizes. The top golfer each day, as well as everyone who makes a hole-in-one, qualifies for the $1 Million Final Shootout at the Barona Creek Golf Club on September 22.
"The growth of some of our events is remarkable," said Binkowski. "Our parade has become nationally recognized as the largest balloon parade in the country, the wiener dog races attract well over 300 dogs each year and our annual "Hoops at the Beach" event continues to be San Diego's largest 3-on-3 basketball tournament."
Oh, did I mention that there are also two football games to be played? Yes, there are. Even after all of the other special events, the real action takes place December 23rd and 30th on Jack Murphy Field inside Qualcomm Stadium between traditional college football powers.
Don't get me started about the activities that surround just the football games. I do not have enough space to capture the pageantry, fun and entertainment that is provided for the players, fans and tens of thousands of visitors of the two bowl games.
San Diego can take great pride in the work of the SDBGA and for the economic impact their efforts have on the community. It is a tremendous accomplishment for an organization to stage two major bowl games that have sterling reputations. The next time you participate in any of the SDBGA events or attend a bowl game, take a step back and think about the accomplishments of the hard working group behind-the-scenes and experience that you are enjoying.

Stock Super Buys for the Big Game
Matt is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The NFL is really weird about other people using the words "Super" and "Bowl." Notice that advertisements usually call Sunday's titanic matchup between the Ravens and the 49ers as the "the Big Game."
That's because those NFL folks know more than just 3-4 defenses and spread offenses--they know about branding. So do the companies that are going to advertise or have product placements during the Super... errr.. the Big Game.
Under Armour's Thick Financial Skin
If there's a Cinderella story in the athletic apparel industry, it's Under Armour (NYSE: UA). The founder, Kevin Planck -- a special teams player on the University of Maryland football team -- started the business in his grandmother's basement. Nowadays you'll see just about every player in every major sport decked out in Under Armour gear. When you look on the sidelines this Sunday, expect to see more than a few players wearing the material that's designed to wick sweat away, rather than soak it up. Now the company produced more than sweat-less shirts, making everything from hats to socks.
Under Armour's stock has also been a success story. In the past five years, the stock has soared about 176 percent. The last 52 weeks, its tracked up more than 30 percent. The revenue also looks good for an investor seeking dependable returns. Revenue has gone up steadily each year from from $725 million in 2008 to about $1.4 billion in 2011. Earnings Per Share (EPS) has also grown in nice chunks. In 2008, the EPS was $0.38, and the latest figures, $0.92 EPS, show that the company is closing in on nearly a dollar a share EPS.
I'm trying desperately to find a competitor that matches UA, but unless you're willing to trade Japanese and Chinese stocks, it's pretty difficult to find a company that matches this company's past performance and future potential.
Investing in the Pepsi Generation
I can't imagine what a football game would be like without a Pepsi (NYSE: PEP) commercial. The company usually has the most talked-about commercial during the Super Bowl. There are few companies that can duke it out with Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) in the marketing and branding department, but Pepsi is one of them.
The company has begun to shake off the free fall from the recession and is nearing an all-time high trading range. Revenue and earnings are trending upward over the past few years. The company's EPS has gone from $3.46 in 2008 to $4.40 in 2011. Revenue has grown from 43.2 billion to $66.5 billion during the same time period.
Pepsi's major competition, Coca-Cola, has seen revenue rise from $31 billion to $46 billion between 2008 and 2011. The EPS for Coke has gone from $1.30 to $1.87. Both Pepsi and Coke have P/E's in the 19 range.
Beer Commercials, Football, and Horses
Most Americans will be gathered around the television not to see a game-winning field goal, but to watch a herd of Clydesdales boot a football, or do something else dreamed up in the fertile minds of the ad agency responsible for Anheuser-Busch (NYSE: BUD) marketing.
Anheuser-Busch, by the way, is now an international conglomerate, called Anheuser Busch Inbev SA, that sells about 200 different types of beer. Those brands of beer are some of the most valuable types of brewskies in the world, and that's the main reason for it's smooth flow of revenue and earnings. In 2008, the company was producing about $23.5 billion in revenue. That figure jumped to $36.7 billion a year later. It took a slight dip in 2010, but the latest figures (2011) show the company has regained revenue strength, posting over $39 billion in revenue.
EPS rates are also nice and frothy. The EPS rate has climbed from $2.47 a share in 2008 to $4.24 in 2011. With a P/E of 20, the stock does not look too expensive at its current valuation in the $90 range.
Now go back and enjoy the commercials...I mean the big game.

Has gold's next bull run begun?
Recently it looked as if gold was set to bottom and might turn around soon. The turn may be here already. Also: What caused Facebook's face plant?
I rarely revisit a topic so soon after I write about it, but given how much time I spend focused on precious metals, the trading in that sector over the past handful of sessions seems to be calling for me to make an exception.
In my May 18 column, "Gold's fortunes will turn around soon," I discussed the recent correction in gold and gold mining stocks, concluding, "At some point the stage will be set (if it isn't already) for an unbelievably explosive rally to the upside in metals. I think, given how stretched everything has become, that day is close, but that could mean a matter of weeks or it could be a few days."
Low and behold?
In fact, signs of stabilization were appearing even as I wrote that. In a column on my subscription site, FleckensteinCapital.com, the day before my MSN Money article appeared, I speculated about whether the previous day's lows for precious metals might be "it."
The action in the miners the next day -- i.e., the day the column was published -- was strong but not definitive. Still, I felt there was some chance it would turn out to be "the" low for the year, while expecting that some part of the range between $1,580 and $1,540 an ounce for gold could be retested once or twice.
The key questions in my mind at that point were when, and from where, the first pullback would come, as well as how deep might it be.
We soon found out, as gold dropped from $1,600 to $1,533 in just a few days.
The following Monday's trading was sort of tepid as the world apparently focused on Facebook (FB) (more on that below).
Tuesday was negative, as the metals went on a nerve-testing roller-coaster ride. First, they staged a pretty decent turnaround, led by silver, which declined about 1.5% overnight but quickly turned that loss into a similar-sized rally. That didn't stick, however, and silver lost 1% on the day. Gold turned a roughly 1.5% loss into a tiny loss, then that fizzled, and it ended up losing over 1% on the day. However, gold mining stocks, amazingly, behaved pretty well.
The next day's trading brought a giant, stunning reversal to the upside in gold stocks, even as other metals were tanking, then reversed, making it seem very likely that their collective low on May 16 will not be broken.
Thus the stage remains set for more rallies.
The price of peace of mind
What a precious-metals bull would like to see is silver, gold and the miners all ratchet up "a level" together on decent volume. We've seen better behavior from the miners (finally), but gold and silver need to start acting like the miners are beginning to (if you can believe I said that) if they really want to convince us that the whole complex has turned the corner.
If May 16 was the low, of course, it means folks will have to pay up a bit to capture this idea going forward. However, given how depressed the metals complex has been, paying up a little bit and being a bit more confident in one's risk assessment is not an insane strategy, especially with regard to mining stocks. When markets or sectors have been bludgeoned as the metals and the miners have, any subsequent rally will also have pullbacks, so it's not necessary to leap to a decision at the very first sign of strength.
Wall Street can't quite find the 'Like' button
I would be remiss if I didn't touch on news that eclipsed all the machinations in precious metals, that of course being the Facebook initial public offering. As everyone knows, its first day of trading was marred by the Nasdaq's ($COMPX) "technical difficulties," and I had to chuckle over the irony of a Nasdaq company with a New York Stock Exchange (two-letter) symbol having a communication breakdown on the "exchange of the future" (as the Nasdaq bills itself).
Since that was sorted out, the actual trading, despite all the hysteria and hype, has been a catastrophe. As almost everyone knows, after having been priced at $38 and opening at $42, it has plunged, prompting a flurry of lawsuits.
This should have been the easiest deal in the world to price, as the company had been trading in quasi-public fashion for more than a year. Yet the underwriters and the company got greedy, turning what should have been a slam dunk into a disaster.
It is mind-boggling to me how the valuation and size of the deal were increased, as well as the number of shares that will become free-trading in the not-too-distant future. If there was ever an IPO set up to experience indigestion right out of the gate, it has been this one, and that is exactly what has happened.
So while the Nasdaq glitches caused some problems, Facebook became "Facebomb" because of greed and arrogance.
At the time of publication, Bill Fleckenstein owned gold, silver, and precious-metals mining stocks.
I cashed out and bought gold, In April of 2008 as soon as I saw we were going to elect a quasi socialist, either Clinton or Obama.There it stays until Obama is an esoteric historical footnote.
There is only one way to have a stable and prosperous market , have a stable and prosperous economy.
That is not possible with the handouters running the world.
Reality has arrived, with it's hand out, expecting payback.
Expect to see the market(s) hammered in the next 8 to 9 months, in a fashion that will make 2008 look like a high school prom.
Gold was at $350 when all the pundits criticized Glenn Beck for recommending it as a safety net, poo pooing it as doomsday advice. No wonder most Wall Street traders fair no better than the average citizen on the stock market.
I put so little faith in the would be "analysts", they're always surprised by the unemployment numbers, the durable goods orders and any other so called market indicators.
I hope you read these comments. I find often the comments are as interesting as your article. Often people who can just barely write do so. Then you have some solid supporters, and solid detractors, total screwballs and most interesting is some people politicize Golds action as though it is a conspiracy by the Republicans or Democrats.
Gold is just metal, it doesn't think or act it just sits there and responds when people, Governments or Banks buy or sell it. It's price is simply relfected by supply and demand and everything else is just Bull.
The more dollars, euros, yuan or any other fiat money is printed the more wise people purchase Gold.
I fully understand the value of the two previous statements.....And the reasonings behind the Chinese and Indians obtaining and holding Yellow......Usually ceremonial or dowery holdings ?
And it makes sense about their currencies.
Lest we forget 3rd. World Elite...That give little/furnish to the lower class; But also hoard or purchase.
In case of Political strife...
Central Banks are interesting to watch and keep and eye on.......But by the time their actions are well known, I'm still holding the bag...Either of gold(miners) or money to buy with.
All these actions have repercussions on Gold; The knack is to be aware and react in a timely fashion.
Yup, read those same comparisons and projections on FB, made me really wonder; Are these azzholes (underwriters) out to suck the last drops of blood out of us??
The intent and interest I had on it, decided to cancel on the last price raise........
I may have been a very lucky person.?
Unfortunately there are several zuckers, running around now; Wondering what to do.?
Behind the doors......Thought FB opened at 43 went to 45 then started it's decline ? Eventually back under the IPO of 38 per?
Good article, kitco with Frank Holmes...About Gold being our friend 5000 years (?).
Appears we might be posturing for a 1-2 month bullish run on gold....
Interesting read, if you want ?

Extended mass layoffs decline in first quarter of 2004
May 19, 2004
In the first quarter of 2004, mass layoff actions taken by employers in the private nonfarm economy resulted in the separation of 239,361 workers from their jobs for at least 31 days.
The number of extended mass layoff separations was sharply lower than in January-March 2003 and was the lowest for a first quarter since 2000. ("Extended mass layoffs" last more than 30 days and involve 50 or more individuals from a single establishment filing initial claims for unemployment insurance during a consecutive 5-week period.)
Thirty-nine percent of separations occurred in metropolitan areas in the first quarter of 2004. Chicago, Illinois, reported more separations than any other metropolitan area, 10,859, mainly in specialty trade contractors. Next were Medford-Ashland, Oregon, with 3,360 separations and Los Angeles-Long Beach, California, with 3,161. The numbers for Chicago and Los Angeles-Long Beach were lower compared to the first quarter of 2003; the number for Medford-Ashland was higher, as that area had no extended mass layoffs in the first quarter of last year.
These data are from the BLS Mass Layoff Statistics program. Data for 2004 are preliminary and subject to revision. For more information, see "Extended Mass Layoffs in the First Quarter of 2004" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 04-895.

In rare cases – and The Woman in Black is one of them – a story may be more atmospheric when less is left to the imagination.
The Woman in Black is a welcome addition to the old canon; renouncing innovation, embracing anachronism, it's almost "The Artist" of ghost movies. To anyone who fancies throwback stories of the supernatural, there's nothing so appealing as a well-preserved corpse.
As opposed to modern horror flicks like the "Saw" movies, where gruesome violence can almost blunt fears, The Woman in Black is a tasteful, old-school frightener, emphasizing suspense and foreboding over blood and guts.
There's little that's new, revealing or stylish about this basic-black horror story, but if you've got a Goth sensibility, it might suit you.
Though "Woman" never rises above its status as a traditional genre thriller, that's perfectly fine. It was made with intelligence and commitment, and it achieves its goal: to keep us looking over our shoulders long after we've left.
Erstwhile boy wizard Daniel Radcliffe works no magic as a grieving lawyer in The Woman in Black, a creaky haunted-house story that's strong on creepy atmosphere but woefully deficient in the scare department.
Feb 2, 2012A credible suspense story with a surprisingly bold ending, The Woman In Black is a solid step away from Harry Potter for star Daniel Radcliffe - while it, too, is British and fantastical, the tone is sinister, adult and bleak.

Mar 4, 2012Great horror movie! Was jumping about every 5 seconds! Would definately recommend it! Great acting and a really good plot. It gave me goosebumps, and I don't generally get goosebumps. Has good twists and frights and just when you think you know what will happen next, it changes. Great film.… Expand
Feb 21, 2012This is genuinely one of the scariest films I've seen. the atmosphere throughout the movie is dark and creepy and the settings are really good. At one point I had goosebumps all over and just wanted to hide behind my coat which is something I don't think I have ever done and I like to think I'm quite a hardened horror film watcher! I really don't understand how anyone finds this film not scary... Daniel Radcliffe's performance is being criticised for being un-emotional and bland but as his wife died and all he lives for is his son and he is generally quite unhappy you can hardly expect him to be an enthousiastic person right!? I think he plays the role very well and this was the thing I feared the most, that he would be Harry Potter forever and hard to take seriously, but the opposite was the case. The only criticism I have is the ending which was a bit cliche.....… Expand
Mar 3, 2013Daniel Radcliffe's performance is decent, though the movie is not very scary. The Woman in Black is nothing more than a repetitive plot with a good vibe.… Expand
Feb 14, 2012A sometimes eerie movie with some good scares that is brought down by a thin plot, mediocre acting and a clunky script. The movie relies heavily on the fast image/ loud noise method of scaring an audience and while it can be effective, it feels cheap. Characters are all pretty bland and uninteresting, with the movie instead putting the emphasis on the scares. The movie creates a nicely haunting atmosphere at some points and will probably appeal to most fans of the genre.… Expand
Jun 13, 2012Do not waste your time if you are a horror movie fan. This movie exploits every cliche there is. A horror movie that has to resort to cheap scare tactics in addition to lack of depth insults my, and the audiences intelligence. If you are amused by Michael Bay directed movies, then by all means, enjoy; however, if you appreciate quality, then skip this disaster.… Expand

How can we talk to kids?
How many of us have (albeit inadvertently) asked a child, "What are you going to be when you grow up"? Admittedly, I have caught myself doing this.
It's a bizarre way of making small-talk with a child, isn't it?
"Having fun in the sandbox? That's a cool sandcastle... so tell me, kid, what is your ultimate goal in life?" This isn't an easy question for anyone to answer, let alone a 5-year-old.
To me, this question reinforces the way our system is put together - which is designed to mold children into consumers, so they will be instrumental in our economic growth. At the same time, it is a question that can help us understand what drives our kids, what they are passionate about, what their dreams are...
In this article, Jennifer Fulwiler proposes that we should altogether stop asking kids this question, as it "reinforces the idea that the way to find identity and value is through career" and "undermines the concept of vocation":
How can we talk with kids, encourage them to explore who they are, and get them excited about who they will become, without asking such a weighty question? How can we allow them to expand their imaginations, and let them know they are taken seriously at the same time? How can we differentiate things like a purpose in life, as opposed to a career, in a way that children can focus on and hopefully achieve their passions?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jul 23 2013: When children are young we watch with great pleasure as they play and discover the world around them but after a while we loose patience and start controlling them rather than teaching them. To make them fit some preconceived idea of how they should act and interact. This restrict there individuality and they soon become part of something that they might not like. How do you talk to kids? You don't. You set a good example and hope they find some value in it.
Jul 23 2013: Raymond,
This is true, children are often the 'victims' of parents who try to achieve their own failures through them, or live vicariously theough them, or push them in directions that aren't right for them. This is exactly why I posed this question. I still find communication essential, though. To me, your answer touches on the vital difference between talking TO and talking AT kids.

The two trucks crashed about 6 p.m. Thursday near the junction with U.S. Highway 89. One truck was hauling a load of gasoline, said Utah Highway Patrol Cpl. Todd Johnson.
One person suffered minor injuries, and gasoline was leaking from one of the trucks.
U.S. Highway 89 also was closed for about 40 miles Thursday south of the junction, Johnson said. That road also was open on Friday.

SPOKANE, Wash.--A grant from the Department of Justice is paying for more automatic license plate readers in Spokane.
City leaders said the grant will more than double the number of license plate readers within Spokane.
"They help us to be able to more quickly and efficiently recover stolen vehicles," said Sergeant Lydia Taylor. "They also free up a lot of the officers time to help with ongoing investigations."
Officers said that will help them with checking for stolen cars at a rate they could never do on their own.
Police are trying to lower crime numbers across the City and they say these automatic license plate readers will help them in more than one way.
Spokane already had two readers and now it will have a total of five.
Each will be mounted on a police car with a computer inside. The technology alerts officers if a vehicle is stolen.
"With one of the new units, we can read about 4,000 plates," said Taylor. "And before having them, an officer manually on a good day could enter maybe 200 so we're able to recover more stolen cars."
None of the plate readers will be at a specific location according to SPD leaders, but they are considering that option in the future.
The federal funding goes to the City of Spokane and Spokane County. County leaders will use $35,000 for a criminal history specialist. About $60,000 will pay for the City's new readers. SPD leaders said they will also use more than $20,000 for updated patrol rifles and cars.
Police said they found 30 stolen cars in three months within out the readers.

FLOWERY BRANCH — Missouri linebacker Sean Weatherspoon slipped into the back room to take the call from the Falcons.
Enlarge photo
He had about 20 family members and friends at his viewing party, when Falcons director of player personnel Les Snead called.
"I was smiling from ear to ear, but I knew it was about to go down," Weatherspoon said.
The Falcons decided not to make a trade down with Denver and chose to select Weatherspoon with the 19th pick in the 2010 NFL draft Thursday night.
"We really felt that a cover-type linebacker, who has speed and flies around the football, was in our best interest," Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said. "We got the guy we were targeting all along."
The Falcons also considered taking Georgia Tech defensive end Derrick Morgan, Michigan defensive end Brandon Graham and Florida center Maurkice Pouncey. After discussing the draft with Pittsburgh's Kevin Colbert, the Falcons knew the Steelers had zeroed in on Pouncey. Philadelphia made a trade up to get Graham at 13, and Morgan went to Tennessee at 16.
"We felt that we were zeroed in on Sean Weatherspoon," Dimitroff said. "We didn't want to try to be cute and creative. We decided to pull that tag off the board at 19."
The Falcons didn't use their allotted 10 mintues. They made the call to New York around the five-minute mark.
Spoon was thoroughly scouted by the Falcons and built up a huge Atlanta following on his Twitter.com page. Before the pick was announced, Weatherspoon, who goes by SeanWSpoon12 on twitter.com, shot out a tweet.
"I'm a falcon!!!" was sent by SeanWSpoon12 at 9:30.
"I wanted to let my fans know," Weatherspoon said. "As far as Twitter, the Atlanta fans have been showing me nothing but love the whole time throughout this process. They have been tweeting me every day wishing that I became a Falcon."
Weatherspoon, who led the Tigers in tackles over the past three seasons, is considered an outside linebacker.
The Falcons believe that Weatherspoon can help them in pass coverage. Weatherspoon played in the Big 12 and faced a lot of pass-happy spread offenses. His coverage skills are solid.
"He was able to play out in space," Falcons coach Mike Smith said. "I've said many times that the game is becoming a spacing game. I think it's definitely an advantage to have guys that can run and matchup with tight ends and running backs that we are going to face in our division."
The Falcons are hoping that Weatherspoon will compete with Mike Peterson and Stephen Nicholas for one of the starting outside linebacker positions. Peterson turns 34 in June.
The linebacker unit was strong against the run last season, but had issues in pass coverage. The unit was 28th in the league (242.1 yards per game) against the pass.
The draft continues Friday with the second and third rounds. The Falcons do not have a second-round pick. They sent it to Kansas City as part of the Tony Gonzalez deal last season.
However, Dimitroff said they are exploring trade possibilities to get into the middle or lower third of the second round.
"We have gotten calls, we still have opportunities," Dimitroff said. "We just need to determine if that's worth it."
The Falcons have two picks in the third round, the 83rd and 98th overall picks in the draft.

Seriously nice pick by the Falcons, I thought we were targeting B. Graham, but wouldn't you know the Eagles beat us to the punch. I thought there was a chance of trading down, but after Pouncey was gone, I had a feeling it would be Spoon!
Good for Bay Bay Thomas, and welcome to Atlanta Spoon!!!

I think the Falcons might going to trade up into the first round to get the TCU DE, but dosen't seem likely.But, if any good DEs slip into the second round, I think thehe third round. Falcons will trade up and get a good DE and get the C from BC in t

We passed on trading down so it appears this guy is a strong choice for TD & Company.

Great pick, it's a need position and Van Gorder is a LB coach so I don't see him failing.
BTW I'm excited for knowshon, the broncos just picked up a stud fullback.

Weatherspoon seems solid to me. Would love to get into that second round. Too many good players in this draft to miss that.
April 22nd, 2010

Weatherspoon, Dunta Robinson, a healthy Peria Jerry and William Moore… Suddenly this defense looks much more solid than last year.
G'Lovin where are you?

Come on D-Led, let's here you say it…

April 22nd, 2010
10:19 pm
If we're serious about adding another DE Daniel te'o Nesheim is severely underrated and should still be ther at our 3rd comp, maybe even in the 4th. Add an OC in the 3rd and we're looking good thru day 2….

Good pick for the Falcons. Someone with the talent to upgrade the position while at the same time learning under Mike Peterson. With Jerry's return, the addition of Dunta Robinson(and the possible emergence of Owens, Decoud, and Grimes) and now Spoon this should be a defense to be reckoned with. Pass rush should be much improved with Jerry and Babineaux getting a good push up the middle and opening the pass rush lanes for Bierrman, Sidbury and Abraham.

At least three of the remaining picks need to be O-linemen. People want to claim Matty Ice took a step back, but watching the games, you notice the pass protection wasn't nearly as good as it was in his first year. That combined with some predictable playcalling (hopefully due to the injury situation) was Matt Ryan's undoing. Need some manhandlers up front to keep the pass rush off of Matty's @$$.

DOL says – THE SHAM – Great minds think alike
I now say – DOL – What are you talking about? Like I said for the last few weeks – GRESHAM is a bumb! Take Witherspoon! That was the real SHAMeless plan!!!
I'll have to admit that I had fallen a sleep on SW mainly bc he'd been discussed for a while and I was hoping out loud with Gresham. I'm not upset with the pick bc this kid will play. I can't say that for Pouncey (aka – Ben's new Bouncy) had he lasted one more pick. Thank you Steelers!
April 22nd, 2010
10:48 pm
Great pick, huge need for the Falcons. Now pick up a WR & Atkins in the third.
April 22nd, 2010
10:53 pm
DOL – I will add this, the preface to the SHAMeless Plan stated – "This is all assuming Dez Byrant had already been taken by the Broncos or someone else bc no way is he available at 19… If so – SNATCH him up like Kirstie Alley would a slab of ribs at Golden Corral…"
I am VERY surprised we didn't get him in lieu of SW. I'm a big need vs value guy and we do have need that would have met that value… IMO
Once again though, I like the pick as it was…

Great Pick. We needed the coverage skills in a division with Kellen Winslow and Shockey. Also this gives us more zone blitz options. Maybe we'll get to see DeCoud cream Brees again hehehehe.
April 22nd, 2010
11:03 pm
ODLed, I just want to say thank you Author Blanks from bring a guy like TD to the ATL. The stars align and we got the right guy…seldom does that happen in the ATL. For the first time I feel like the SKY IS THE LIMIT FOR THE FALCONS…because they got the right guy in charge. Thank Mr. TD for drafting one of the top guys in the draft….THAT WANTED TO BE A FALCON…in the past we never got that right. Man, right away the commissioner came out announce the Falcon pick with plenty of time left on the clock.
WOW, that is one thing I agree with Bradley and Shultz on…The Falcons got the right Man in charge….and that is Mr. TD!!!!!!!!
Anyway, Detroit took my sleeper pick…and that was Jahvid Best
April 22nd, 2010
11:05 pm
D. Orlando you probably had the Falcons selecting Weatherspoon. You had 62 versions of a mock draft. The only one you didn't have them selecting was ME! You need to loosen that Matlock bowtie. Who will they select next Michael Vick. Already made that mistake. Even Mell Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay missed the boat on the whole 1st round. Show the experts are experts for a reason.
April 22nd, 2010
11:08 pm
4get Dez Bryant. He is Deion Sanders on offense. He will be another Pac-Man jones.
April 22nd, 2010
11:10 pm
For the Falcons to trade down, like so many people wished they did, would mean that some other team would need to be interested in their pick. They can't just trade back simply because the want to.
The Spoon pick is solid and safe. TD continues to build a solid team piece by piece.
April 22nd, 2010
11:19 pm
Knew that trade down possibility was gone when graham went off the board. I do believe the pats would have pulled the trigger on that one. Instead they trade down. Still got our guy, but sure would have been nice to have spoon and a 2nd round to boot…..
April 22nd, 2010
11:20 pm
What about me DOL. I said Spoon after the senior bowl and never waivered. I have tonsay I was sweating that Pitt would take Pouncey cuz I didn't want to come on here and eat major crow from you. Spoon, Jerry, Moore, DeCloud, Dontay, Abe, and Babbs, I see a young, fast, smart, defense with an attitude. I'm loving our defense now. Let's gt our center of the future and another OLB or WR for depth tomorrow night. Give it up DOL. The Spoon express has arrived
April 22nd, 2010
11:25 pm
Josh and mike is back, I love the pick that TD made. Weatherspoon is a perfect fit. The falcons have an easier schedule than last season, and far more depth, and we will not be playing 4 teams coming off their bye week. New Orleans, the party is officially OVER!!!!!
April 22nd, 2010
11:28 pm
So awesome!!!!! It feels like christmas!
April 22nd, 2010
11:33 pm
DOL—Have I not been beating you up for a month saying that regardless of who was on the board at 19 the Falcons would take Sean Weatherspoon! Also, will you be moving to Blitburgh to stay close to Pouncey? Just a question and a joke.
April 22nd, 2010
11:35 pm
is it true that the redskins is willing to get a third rd pick for hanesworth we got two of them let give the redskins the pick for hanyesworth and just focus on the offense imagine in one year for dunta robinson, sean weatherspoon and add hanyesworth to the mix we be a top 5 defense
April 22nd, 2010
11:49 pm
Too bad the Falcons couldn;t trade up and then down and get McCoy amd use him as bait. and is Hershell coming back ??? Prediction–This will be Boomer's last hurray as he has lost whatever he thought he had. Boomer must have know some of the deepest secrets or he should have been thru…hope falcons have the opportunity to select Farve again,
April 22nd, 2010
11:51 pm
They should of drafted Dez Bryant they said he could be the next Randy Moss because Michael Jenkins is garbage he can't catch he is not fast at all they need a No.2 receiver bad.
April 22nd, 2010
11:53 pm
Matty Ice will make you all wish he were on your team as he picks up apart..He'd the real deal
April 22nd, 2010
11:58 pm
When you consider all things, spoon is the safest, and the smartest pick. Please dont trade up in the second round Falcons….stand pat. This draft is deep. How about drafting Matt Tennant, and Rennie Curran in the third. In the fourth round take Jordan Shipley. In the fith round take the best tight end available. There are many good tight ends in this draft. With the other fith round pick take the best offensive lineman available. with the first of the two sixth round picks take another offensive lineman, and finish by taking Alabamas kicker

SPOON IS A GREAT PICK!!! A true "freak" athelte-as strong as an Offensive Lineman, and has amazing game speed as well. Can really lay the lumber, has amazing football intangibles, and a great character guy and team leader. Match him with Lofton and Nicholas and we are STRONG at LB for the next 8-10 years guys!!! Now for tomorrow….
1st 3rd Rounder- Brandon LaFell, WR LSU
2nd 3rd Rounder- Either John Jerry OT Ole Miss, or Matt Tennant, C Boston College
Get a DE in the 4th, a TE in the 5th and this would make for an amazing draft!!!!
April 23rd, 2010
12:48 am
let us give thanks to the Jaguars if they picked Pierre-Paul we would not gotten spoon so thank up Jaguars for that pick gooooooooo falcons
April 23rd, 2010

can we say R.O.Y or could that go to the WR we pick in the 3rd ggoooooooooo falcons

The story of a Sound Designer still in the midst of full time education. Hopefully someone will learn from this!
One of the most enjoyable projects I've worked on in months, the Google Infographic by Rob Norman.
This time, it's all about the synths! I've been meaning to put my Novation through its paces in some sound design ever since I got it. Once I saw the highly stylised visuals of Rob's work, I knew this would be my chance!
To begin with I thought I best not to risk it and cover myself, so I made an entire FX tracklay for the video, this way if I couldn't make all the synth patches in time, I'd have something to show for my hard work. I remembered from working on Rob's last piece that it's all about the material of the foley objects used that make motion graphics sound good. Plastic was the material I was after (PVC if you're a massive nerd like I apparently am) so I had a little rummage around my stuff and ended up recording the lid of an aerosol can, my Ravensbourne ID card with its plastic case and one of those Olbasoil nostril sticks that are handy when you have a blocked nose. I also ended up recording the metal lid of a biscuit tin which makes an interesting wobbly sound when flipped up in the air, and the classic water-in-a-saucepan which made the sound of the two heads forming at the beginning.
Then it got interesting! The idea behind using a synth for this project was because of the tenuous link that synths are modern technology and that this is about a very technical subject, it also helps that the visuals have a hint of retro arcade about them. I won't go in to too much detail on how I made the patches but you can have a listen to them here if you like.
I tried to be as creative as I could, for the languages section, I decided that each language should have its own character, the English one is the popular one and the French one is the groovy laid-back one for example.
One of the key things about this project was the collaboration between me and @SimonAllinson. Before we started I went through with him my plans for the style I wanted to take, which led him to take a more synthy approach. He told me what key he was playing and the tempo too so that the transition between sound and music was a little more blurry and really ties us together. We frequently gave each other our latest versions so that we knew what frequencies we would be using and tried to compensate for that accordingly. It also helped that the visual was beat matched rather well too!
P.S. The narration was also performed by Simon, he's looking to get a portfolio of voiceover work up and running so if you need a voiceover you know who to call!

Rangers-Marian Gaborik: After leading the Rangers---and ranking third in the NHL---with 41 goals a year ago, Gaborik once again leads the team with seven through 16 games this season. While that is a respectable total, the Rangers need even more offensive production from their Slovak sniper, especially now that Rick Nash is missing from the lineup. Consistency has escaped Gaborik so far in 2013 as he has scored in only four games this season---he had one three-goal game and another two-goal outing to go along with a pair of one-goal games.He has one goal in his last six games, and just two in the previous 11 matches, but is coming off a strong performance in Ottawa Thursday when he was the Rangers best offensive player---not only leading the club with seven shots on goal, but firing a pair off of the post in the Rangers' 3-2 loss to the Senators. It will be interesting to see if Gaborik can build on that good showing when the Rangers play in another tough road building tonight in Montreal.
Canadiens-Max Pacioretty: After a painfully slow start to the 2013 season Pacioretty has caught fire and is on an offensive tear for Montreal. Pacioretty has recorded points in four straight games, totaling seven points (4-3-7) in that span, and has scored all four of his goals this season in the past three games---including the game-tying tally in Montreal's eventual 3-1 win at The Garden this past Tuesday night. Coming off a 33-goal, 65-point breakout season a year ago, it was only a matter of time before Pacioretty hit his stride this year. Unfortunately for the Rangers it comes in the midst of them facing Pacioretty and the Canadiens twice in a five-day span.
