Lies, damned lies, and government jobs statistics.
Rarely has the cliché rung as true as with the latest report that showed the nation's jobless rate fell 0.1 of a percentage point last month, to 7.6%—even though fewer people had jobs and more were unemployed. The improvement, if you can call it that, was the result of nearly half a million folks dropping out of the labor force and the smallest percentage of the working-age population in the workforce in a generation.
All of which came as a shock to bulls on Wall Street, who had lifted the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Standard & Poor's 500 to records surpassing their previous peaks set in October 2007. That's even though the bond and commodity markets have been sending signals in recent days that were out of phase with the steady melt-up in the major market indexes.
The March employment report released Friday morning actually was the culmination of a parade of weaker-than-expected data for the month just ended, including softer (but still positive) readings for purchasing managers' indexes for both manufacturing and services, plus a rise in initial claims for unemployment insurance in the past three weeks.
But none of that prepared the markets for the shocking news that nonfarm payrolls increased by only 88,000 workers in March, less than half the consensus guess from economists of a 190,000 rise. (The payroll data come from a survey of business establishments, separate from the polling of households that provide the numbers that go into the politically important unemployment rate.)
There were some consolation prizes in the jobs-report bust, notably upward revisions in February's payrolls to a gain of 268,000 from 236,000, and January's rise, to 148,000 from 119,000. And these are seasonally adjusted numbers, which are heavily influenced by small variations in the weather or calendar quirks, especially early in the year. As Citigroup economist Steven C. Wieting points out, before seasonal adjustment, payrolls actually rose by 759,000 in March, which was short of the average 900,000 rise in the two previous years. That followed a 1.022 million jump in February, which was above the average increase of 880,000 in the prior two years. So, month-to-month swings in the payroll numbers should be taken with a hefty chunk of salt.
That said, the household report told a scarier story of fewer folks working and even fewer looking for work, even if it anomalously produced a lower headline jobless rate. Only 63.3% of the working-age population was either working or actively looking for a job last month, the lowest since May 1979, when the participation in the workplace by women was ramping up. Had labor-force participation rates remained around the 66% level that had prevailed before the 2007-2009 recession, the unemployment rate would be about four percentage points higher, in the mid-11% range, writes Joshua Shapiro, chief economist for MFR. And demographics aren't affecting the participation rate as commonly assumed.
"Making things worse from a social perspective," he adds, "the drop in the participation rate has been centered in younger workers, many of whom have given up hope of finding a decent job and are instead continuing in school and racking up enormous amounts of student debt, which has contributed to the recent surge in consumer credit outstanding. Difficulties of the young are exacerbated by the rising participation rates of older members of the labor force who have seen retirement savings/benefits and home values diminish, and who are now being forced to work longer than many had originally planned."
Fiscal policy may be a deterrent to hiring, however. The termination of the 2% payroll tax "holiday" may be beginning to bite. Retailers cut employment by 24,000 last month amid generally soggy same-store sales. Meanwhile, the March 1 spending cuts under the so-called sequester have yet to be felt. The 7,000 drop in government employment reflected mainly a 12,000 decline at the Postal Service, which is unrelated to the sequester.
Taking the sum of the jobs numbers, Philippa Dunne and Doug Henwood of the Liscio Report write that the labor market's weakness reflects weak hiring more than sackings. Meanwhile, weakness in hourly earnings—flat in the latest month—doesn't point to tighter labor-market conditions, which typically would be implied by a lower jobless rate. And if wages do tick up, the reserve army of labor, to use Marx's term, of folks not officially in the workforce can readily be called up. That is, if employers want to enlist them.
BEFORE THE BUREAU OF Labor Statistics stunned the bulls with punk jobs numbers, the bond market was on to what was afoot. Amid the universal near-certainty at the beginning of 2013 that bond yields had nowhere to go but up, the Treasury market has rallied in seeming incongruous fashion to bring yields to levels below where they ended last year.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury note ended the week at 1.71%, below 1.76% at year end and well under the 2.06% peak hit in early March. More surprisingly, the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond sliced through the 3% level, to 2.86% at week's end, down from more than 3.25% in early March. The notion of locking in an investment paying less than 3% for three decades seems ludicrous—except given the recent price performance captured by the iShares Barclays 20+Year Treasury Bond TLT 0.6848709791445741% iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 113.935 0.775 0.6848709791445741% /Date(1411146345435-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2195570 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.8568095572733663% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » exchange-traded fund (ticker: TLT).

U.S.: NYSE USD84.5161 0.3261 0.3873381636773964% /Date(1411146351081-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 5646459 P/E Ratio 20.174248210023865 Market Cap 227900980031.699 Dividend Yield 3.045542357101198% Rev. per Employee 703915 More quote details and news » (PG). The shares ended the week less than a buck below their 52-week high as investors (forgive me for repeating) like Bounty even more than Treasury paper. After all, they're paying a fancy 19 times June fiscal-year earnings for it.
All of which makes the first-quarter earnings-reporting season, which kicks off this week, more crucial. Once again, corporations have managed expectations lower, with preannouncements of results tilted heavily to the negative side. While some expectations are for profits of S&P 500 companies to rise 15% this year, Michael Cosgrove, editor of the Econoclast monthly advisory, writes "earnings will be lucky to increase at half that pace."
Corporate earnings growth of 5%-6% may be more likely than a double-digit pace with nominal gross domestic product growing 4%. Moreover, a big chunk of S&P 500 earnings comes from abroad, and may lag owing to weakness in Europe and the dollar's strength, which hurts translation of foreign profits.
BEYOND ALL THESE FACTORS, the weak jobs report removes any near-term possibility that the Federal Reserve will scale back its purchases of Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities, currently running at a $1 trillion annual pace. While the Fed has aimed to bring the unemployment rate down to 6.5% before reversing its hyper-expansive monetary policy, there is no chance it will be deluded into thinking that a lower jobless rate resulting from a half a million erstwhile workers going AWOL represents an actual improvement in the labor market.
The Bank of Japan said last week it would double its bond-buying program to a pace just short of the Fed's—to pump liquidity into the Japanese economy, which is one-third the size of the U.S. economy. That sent the yen plunging, with yields on 10-year Japanese government bonds falling to just 0.5%, while continuing to lift Japanese stock prices. Whether that pulls Japan's economy, which is weighed down by structural and demographic factors (more deaths than births), out of its torpor is another question.
But for now, America's and Japan's central banks have their printing presses on overdrive. The European Central Bank has been holding back, actually contracting its balance sheet recently, which increases the odds of a crisis worse than that surrounding Cyprus.
Rising risks may make investors with double-digit first-quarter gains think discretion is the better part of valor. They may be unfashionably early for the "sell in May and go away" hiatus, especially if earnings season disappoints.

After a supervisor gave him an allegedly "untruthful and inaccurate" review, Hensley says he was given an impossible list of ways to improve within 30 days. Eventually he was discharged. His lawsuit claims he was fired because of his age, not his job performance. The lawsuit argues that the city of Baytown routinely replaces older employees with younger, unqualified replacements.
Hensley's suit accuses the city of violating the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act by firing him because of his age.
Note: As the job market continues to stagnate and the state's workforce continues to get older, watch out for more age discrimination lawsuits. Attorneys who represent fired employees will always look at the age angle when deciding whether to pursue a case.
Advice: The key to winning lawsuits like this one is being able to provide documentation that proves you followed your own sound policies for treating all employees fairly and impartially.

Perfect 'blowout' for Coast to Coast
Relevant offers
A sweaty handshake and a smile were enough to suggest who the winners were at the Timaru Triathlon yesterday.
Christchurch's Luke Vaughan looked exhausted rather than all warmed-up for his fourth attempt at the one-day Coast to Coast event in two weeks.
After completing the 4km kayak, 40km cycle and 10km run around Caroline Bay in 2 hours 20 minutes and 50 seconds, he maintained it was an ideal preparation.
"It was pretty hot and hard," he said after the event, especially the run section which was rather hilly.
"It was a case of drinking plenty of water and keeping on chugging.
"I wasn't sure how I was going to go, as I had a few injury issues during the week with my legs but they held-up well."
The 28-year-old said the "intensity" of the Timaru Triathlon acted as a perfect "final blowout" for the Coast to Coast race which could take him 12 hours.
"These short-course triathlons are hard in their own right just because of the intensity and I don't normally like running on roads much."
It was a different story for the first swim triathlete across the line, Rob Lord, who tacked the Timaru event on the end of his schedule after winning his age-category at the Wanaka half-ironman last weekend.
He said the 1500m swim could not have gone better for him and it helped him to complete the course in 2hr 12min 20sec.
"It was a very flat swim which is beautiful and fast, nice and warm on the bike which was very helpful and it just seemed to get hotter and hotter on the run.
"I like tougher conditions but I guess you can't complain with a win."
The 23-year-old is in his third season in the sport and said the course was as beautiful as it was challenging.
Martina Fellman was the first women's swimmer home in 2hr 26min 13sec.
Sia Svendsen was the first female kayaker to cross the line in 2hr 41min 14sec.

College Is a Poor Solution to Income Inequality
New college grads may be facing dizzyingly high unemployment this commencement season, but MIT professor David Autor believes we still don't have enough of them. The famed economist is out with a new paper in the journal Science that aims to remind the world that while much of the inequality debate has focused on the rise of the top 1 percent, the biggest—and arguably most important—change in America's income distribution has been the widening gap between those with and without college degrees.
"We have too few college graduates," Autor told the New York Times' David Leonhardt. If we had more, he argues, the income gap would shrink.
Helping more Americans graduate from college is a worthwhile goal (emphasis on the word graduate; too many already attend and drop out). Everybody deserves their personal shot at a healthy career and financial life, and higher education is often the best path to those goals. But flooding the job market with graduates, as Autor seems to advocate, has always struck me as an odd and maybe counterproductive approach to tackling inequality as a broad economic issue.
As Autor writes, the relative value of a college degree rose over the past several decades thanks to a handful of trends. First, wages of high school–educated men collapsed, as inflation ate away at the minimum wage, factory jobs disappeared, and unions went into decline. At the same time, the growth of America's college-educated population slowed down even as demand for graduates grew, thanks in part to the rise of high-tech industries and the digitization of the economy. As a result, wages jumped for bachelor's degree holders.
But recent research suggests that corporate America's hunger for brain power—or "cognitive skills," as economists like to put it—began to decline around the time of the dot-com bust. College graduates aren't quite the hot commodities they were during the Reagan and Clinton years. Going to school is still, on average, a very good deal. But as Autor's own graphs show, wages have flat-lined for bachelor's degree holders, even as they've continue to climb for Americans with advanced degrees. And while the extent of underemployment among college graduates is often exaggerated, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has found that a growing percentage of them are working in jobs that don't require their degree and pay less than $45,000 a year. Chances are, many of those underemployed B.A.'s and B.S.'s are taking career opportunities from less-educated workers who could desperately use a leg up in the economy.
To make a long story short, unless the overall job market is booming, simply churning out more college graduates risks making everybody a bit poorer.
Of course, there are counterarguments. For instance, even in jobs that don't traditionally require a bachelor's degree, employers tend to pay college-educated workers more generously, because they're more productive. A better-schooled workforce, therefore, might theoretically turn into a better-compensated workforce, since an infusion of college graduates would plump up wages in some traditionally low-pay industries. But that's a giant hypothetical that assumes companies have a limitless appetite to pay up for higher quality talent. And even if that were the case, it wouldn't necessarily close the gap between college-educated adults and high school diploma holders. In fact, it might make it worse, as career opportunities for high school grads dried up.
Some employers might also argue that the U.S. is suffering from a "skills gap" that is preventing them from hiring, and which more education would fix. The problem is that most of the industries making that claim tend to be middle-skill jobs that require an associate's degree. Moreover, the evidence behind their complaints is rather lacking.
It's also important to remember who would stand to lose the most if a surge of graduates did manage to bring down the college premium. Chances are, alums of elite schools wouldn't be particularly affected, since any substantial growth would likely come from mid- and lower-tier schools. Graduate degree holders, the real winners of the educational race of the past 30 years, also wouldn't be much affected. In the end, you're essentially talking about an approach to inequality that involves bringing solidly, if unspectacularly, middle-class households a little closer to the bottom, while pushing down the bottom even deeper.

LoweWhen last year's MTV VMA Award nominations rolled around, Lorde's hit "Royals" was just starting to make its way up the charts, and was still several months away from becoming a nine-week #1 smash, so she didn't receive any nods. This year, of course, she's one of the biggest stars on the planet, and has now received two VMA nominations: Best Female, and Best Rock, both for the "Royals" video. But the New Zealand teen doesn't think she's got much chance of winning.
"Wowzer … vma nominations!" Lorde tweeted, adding, "OMG i am the black sheep of both my categories hahahaha." She then tweeted links to MTV so that fans could vote for her, "if you feel [like it]," adding, "This probably sounds faux casual but let's face it, i'm up against katy [perry] and bey[once]."
Indeed, her competition for Best Female not only includes Katy and Beyonce, but also Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea.
Lorde also commented on how surprised she was that the "Royals" video, which is pretty low-key, was even recognized at all. "Whether we …read more

UOC-KP Calls on UOC of Canada to Help Church in Ukraine and in Withdrawing Kyivan Patriarchate from Artificial Isolation
15 March 2013, 13:36 | Inter-Orthodox relations | 1 | | Code for Blog | |
"The Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyivan Patriarchate welcomes the efforts of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada to help the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, to overcome his separation and artificial isolation," spokesman of the Kyivan Patriarchate Archbishop Yevstratii said in regards to the results of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada (UOCC) delegation's visit to Constantinople in February.
During its visit to Constantinople, the UOCC delegation explained to Bartholomew I its position that the Orthodox Christians of Ukraine should have their own autocephalous church in communion with all the Orthodox people in the world. The Orthodox Church of Canada endorsed the efforts of Constantinople in 2008 to correct this painful problem by trying to grant autonomy to the Orthodox Church in Ukraine. Even though these attempts were unsuccessful, the UOCC still has hope that Patriarch Bartholomew and the Mother Church will continue to support the unity among the churches in Ukraine. As the UOCC emphasized in their summary of the visit, Patriarch Bartholomew "assured his love for Ukraine, that he will continue to pray and is willing to do everything possible, following canon law, to facilitate the integration process between the Orthodox Churches in Ukraine."
The UOC-KP, commenting on the results of the UOCC visit to Constantinople, said: "For the church in Ukraine in general and for the Kyivan Patriarchate in particular it is very important that the Patriarchate of Constantinople and other Local Churches knew the truth about the state of Ukrainian Orthodoxy, getting information not only from the hostile Moscow Patriarchate. This will allow the Local Churches to take more appropriate steps in solving the so-called Ukrainian question. We hope that the Ukrainian Church in Canada will serve to spread this truth."
Archbishop Yevstratii said: "The Kyivan Patriarchate appreciates the historical and spiritual heritage of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada, its unique identity. We hope to maintain and enhance this legacy. We believe that the future of the UOC of Canada is in the hands of its hierarchs, clergy and faithful, who jointly in the spirit being council-ruled will build its life. There are individuals and forces that want to bring into discord to our church and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada by spreading the idea that the Kyivan Patriarchate seeks to subjugate the church in Canada. This is not true, and there have never been such intentions or attempts neither in the past nor now – we appreciate and respect the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada and are convinced that it should determine its future by itself as it did during the whole period of its existence."
The bishop mentioned also the unpleasant aspects of the relations between the two churches, but noted that they should serve as a lesson and not lead to confrontation but to a better understanding of each other.
On behalf of Patriarch Filaret, Archbishop Yevstratii again thanked all members of the UOCC, with whom there were official and private meetings – both abroad and in Ukraine.
"As a church, which is under the aegis of the Ecumenical Patriarch, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada has a unique opportunity to become an effective mediator in overcoming the division in Ukrainian Orthodoxy and recognizing the autocephaly of the Ukrainian Church in the Motherland," said the hierarch.
"The Kyivan Patriarchate is open to cooperation with the Primate of the UOCC Metropolitan Yurij, hierarchs, clergy, and all the faithful of the Church in Canada. We hope that the entire UOCC will unite in helping the church in Ukraine and in withdrawing the Kyivan Patriarchate from artificial external isolation," concluded Archbishop of Chernihiv and Nizhyn Yevstratii, the press center of the Kyivan Patriarchate reports.

Protesters against Canada's cuts to refugee health care vow not to go away
Doctors and others wrestle with ethical dilemma of enforcing a discriminatory system that leaves people in dire medical need without coverage — and the broader public's health at risk.

View 2 photoszoom
Health professionals in Toronto marked Tuesday's third anniversary of the federal refugee health cuts by sending Ottawa a unanimous message: We are not going away.
The rally in front of the Immigration and Refugee Board headquarters on Victoria St. was one of 17 demonstrations held across Canada to condemn the cuts introduced by the Conservative government in June 2012.
"As long as cynical politicians use vulnerable groups such as refugees for soundbites and cheap political points, we will continue to demand change," Dr. Meb Rashid told 350 protesters in Toronto.
"Our colleagues across Canada are saying, 'enough is enough.' We are demanding the government reverse the cuts to refugee health insurance. We are not going away. We will continue to speak out for those who have endured horrible atrocities."
During the hour-long rally, speaker after speaker talked about the ethical dilemma front-line health service providers face in enforcing a discriminatory system that pits refugees against one another, based on country of origin and asylum status.
Others also detailed stories about patients arriving in Canada with dire health needs but being ineligible for care due to the cuts: for example, a tragic victim of gang rape who wasn't covered for care during the resulting pregnancy.
Dr. Sandy Buchman, past president of the College of Family Physicians of Canada, said he had to treat a 72-year-old failed refugee claimant with growing tumors in her abdomen and on her back.
"Her tumors were very large and disfiguring. Her chest wound was open and bleeding and infected. She was not eligible for cancer treatment," he said. "Her condition was palliative. We needed to find a place to accept her and allow her a peaceful, comfortable and dignified death. This was one of my practical challenges. There are many more."
Toronto's chief medical officer, Dr. David McKeown, said denying refugees access to health care also poses a risk to public health.
"What we hear, on a day-to-day basis in our work in public health, is that the current lack of access to care, gaps in eligibility for care and patchwork of existing services act as impediments," McKeown said.
"Refugees with symptoms need to know that they can go to have those symptoms assessed, diagnosed and, if necessary, treated in a timely fashion . . . We all have a stake in the health of refugees in our community. We should all be concerned about their access to care."
Ottawa has said the cuts could save taxpayers $20 million over five years, but protesters said the costs are simply being downloaded to hospitals and the provinces. Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Quebec have all pushed back against the federal cuts, by filling the gaps themselves.

Training Iraq's Death Squads
McNellis is a tall, good-humored officer whose ears jut out slightly from his high-and-tight blond haircut. He is responsible for Khadimiya and Saliyah Police Districts, a sixty-square-mile section of western Baghdad home to nearly 2 million people and policed by approximately 3,000 Iraqis. This early March day has been a good one for the Iraqi police, as officers at Saliyah headquarters are happy to report to McNellis when he comes in on an inspection. Off of Haifa Street, a thoroughfare once so dangerous it earned the nickname Purple Heart Boulevard, the police received a tip about a possible car bomb. At IP request, a platoon from the 57th went to investigate along with a team of Iraqi explosive specialists. "It took a little while, but they cleared up the area and then blew up the [car bomb] in place," McNellis says, with evident pride. A good day for the IPs is a good day for him.
However tense, the company has seen many good days since the surge began. In February Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki began his contribution to the surge, known as Fardh al-Qanoon, or "Enforcing the Law." It has made Baghdad a city of endless checkpoints and roadblocks manned by Iraqi police and army units. To reduce the danger from car bombs, the security forces have made driving through the city as difficult as possible. In Khadimiya, there are more checkpoints than there are heavy concrete barriers, leading Iraqi police to limit mobility on the streets with air conditioners and engine blocks.
Baghdadis are so desperate for security that many seem willing to endure higher US visibility as its price--within limits. Around ten of Baghdad's more violent neighborhoods, US troops are constructing massive concrete walls along sectarian fault lines, suggesting to many Iraqis that the United States and its proxies are seeking to redraw the city's map for their own benefit. After I left, Adhimiya, the last Sunni bastion east of the Tigris, was home to a massive protest that, ironically, united Sunnis and Shiites against America's so-called "gated communities."
Khadimiya is not as restive, something difficult to believe from its outward appearance. Throughout the neighborhood hang full-color posters of Muqtada al-Sadr, the radical cleric whose Mahdi Army militia is held responsible for innumerable sectarian murders. But when the 57th travels through the neighborhood, it meets little resistance. In fact, the beginning of the surge brought a "significant and obvious reduction" in attacks on the company, McNellis says--a prospect that both reassures and unsettles him. "What I fear is, this is just the calm before the storm," he says. "To go down a road where there was a constant [roadside bomb] presence to now being nothing--if I was an insurgent commander, I'd be taking the time to lay low and adjust."
The surge bolsters the 57th's slow successes. It took months of relentless work to get the IPs to stick to procedure: showing up in uniform, for instance, or obtaining warrants before a raid. "The IPs have come a long way, in terms of training, proficiency, the maintenance of their vehicles and command and control of their people in both districts." McNellis's efforts, in other words, are bearing fruit. "The momentum is now on our side," he says. "We really can finish what we've begun."
But the initial promise of Fardh al-Qanoon has begun to unravel. Sectarian murders in Baghdad are down to a third of what they were before the surge, according to US officials. A United Nations report on human rights, however, blasted the Iraqi government for refusing to release statistics on civilian casualties--and nevertheless found that by the end of March, violent deaths had begun to tick back up, with "large numbers" of Iraqis "experienc[ing] intimidation and killings." A US official conceded to the Washington Post in May that, overall, attacks have "stayed relatively constant" since the troop buildup began. On April 12 insurgents destroyed the Sarafiya Bridge, a crucial artery across the Tigris, while also brazenly killing eight in the cafeteria of the Iraqi Parliament, deep within the US-secured Green Zone. Insurgents have increased mortar attacks on the Green Zone to the point where the US Embassy has ordered its personnel to wear body armor while walking around an area that used to be an oasis of calm. Despite the high-profile violence, McNellis tells me in May that the 57th hasn't come under increased attack.
The broader problem is that sectarianism remains deeply entrenched. Gen. David Petraeus, the highly regarded commanding general in Iraq, has stated that success can only come through a political settlement. Yet practically every significant reconciliation effort pushed by the United States--a relaxation of the de-Baathification law, a more equitable distribution of the nation's oil wealth, a new round of provincial elections--has bogged down in Parliament. Popular sentiment is no less divided. According to a March poll by ABC News, more than 95 percent of Sunnis believe Baathists should be allowed back into government positions, while two-thirds of Shiites and Kurds reject the idea. Only 4 percent of Sunnis believe their lives will improve over the next year, though 51 percent of Shiites remain optimistic.

The Blake Griffin effect: Griffin starting to attract big-time recruits to OU
Blake Griffin might or might not be leaving for the NBA after this season (wink-wink). But when Griffin does depart OU, his presence will continue to be felt, maybe for some time.
It'll be felt with Willie Warren. And Tommy Mason-Griffin and Keith "Tiny" Gallon, OU's latest top recruits, who, according to buzz, are about to give the Sooners their first pair of McDonald's All-Americans in an incoming class. The chain, it seems, will not be broken anytime soon. Consider it trickle down recruiting, the impact of getting one guy like Griffin on your campus, and the magnetism he can have in drawing more top talent toward him. Warren wanted to play with Griffin. And Mason-Griffin and Gallon want to play with Warren. And no telling who's next. "It's one of the things that sometimes, if you can get a really good player, and Blake's special, but also because of the way he plays, he's popular," said Sooners coach Jeff Capel. "That can help attract other guys. "It helped us with Willie. Willie helped us with Tommy and Tiny and the rest of the guys in this class.

Design on a Dime host makes San Antonio appearance
Around Town
Send this story to a friend
- Staff San Antonio Business Journal
HGTV's Design on a Dime host, Frank Fontana, was in town this past weekend to give design tips and sign his latest book (Dirty Little Secrets of Design) based on the TV show at the 31st Annual San Antonio Home & Garden Show.
The show was held at the Alamadome and featured over 400 exibitors who showcased their home and garden-related products and services.
Fontana's show teaches viewers how to design or makeover one room in their home spending only $1,000. Prior to this show, Fontana was on HGTV's Takeover My Makeover show which was based on the same concept but had $2,000 to spend and two weeks to get the job done. He was also the winner on ABC's 2004 D.I.Y reality show, The Great Domestic Showdown.
Fontana told the Business Journal that he got into the world of design by designing hospitality venues and night clubs and doing theme parties in South Florida.
"I started outside the box. I had total creative freedom to go as crazy as I could potentially go," Fontana says, adding that some of the people attending these events would then invite them to do other interior design work. "That led me into home interior design."
"I honed my skills off camera and once I got on camera, well, I'm a natural ham. So, it kind of fit," he adds.
Fontana says he views himself as a "high-style, low-cost design guru" who likes to help people save money and practices what he preaches.
The new book — which includes sketches done by Fontana, over 45 DIY projects and over 1,000 photos, and a special style section — is available on amazon.com and in bookstores around the country.
