This Week in Publishing 3/16/07
Even though my Cardinal were destroyed by the Cardinals in the opening round of the NCAA tournament, I'm comforted by the fact that my bracket stands at a cool 15 out of 16 picks, with my one mistake being my sentimental Stanford pick. This unquestionably means that I will be wrong on all 16 games today.
Are you ready for some Potter mania? Scholastic just announced an astounding, astonishing, astronomical, and every other "ast" word you can think of, 12 MILLION COPY FIRST PRINTING for the new Harry Potter book. With a cover price of $34.99, this means that the first printing alone is greater than the GDP of 13 countries (yes, I did the math). Hey Tonga, better get cracking on that YA novel you've been putting off writing.
Thomas Nelson CEO Michael Hyatt happens to be an avid blogger, and he had his peeps compile a list of the ten biggest publishers. Find out which multinational corporation sells more books than all the other multinational corporations here. I'll give you a hint. The biggest publisher starts with an R and ends with andom House.
And finally, as reported by Gawker, lit blog The Millions has thrown down with lit journal n+1 over an n+1 article that said lit blogs "represent a perfection of the outsourcing ethos of contemporary capitalism," and where it was generally suggested that lit blogs were a nonserious medium (um, I'll plead guilty on that one). In response, The Millions sent back this withering salvo (along with some interesting, thoughtful discourse): "[n+1]'s editors are prodigiously gifted, respected, drowning in indie cred,' and despite (or because of) such stimulating missteps as 'The Blog Reflex,' the journal provides a much-needed antidote to the inanities of consumer culture." TAKE THAT, n+1.
Have a good weekend everyone!

In my opinion Rowlings is a mediocre writer, but makes up for it with her attention to detail and the amount of research she does on her subject matter. This is why Harry Potter books sell.

I actually think she's quite a good writer. I wasn't impressed with her first three books in the Harry Potter series, but I thought the latter three that have been published were absolutely top notch. Have you read them all? I think a lot of people that say she can't write stop after her first book or so. While that's understandable, I think it is also presents a pretty unrealistic picture of her actual writing abilities.

I have raised three boys on the Harry Potter books, and it really doesn't matter if she is good or not. She has taken children (and adults) all throughout the world into her fantasy, so she is what she is, and that is successful, duh...
I only hope that I can come up with a story that entertains even just 10% of the readers she has. To be a great writer, if you don't get read, is inconsequential; be a well read author...make people talk about you...make people fuss, now that is fun!

She's good. I'm of opposite opinion, though, about the books. When her editors obviously started stepping aside to let her ramble, the books dragged. The first three were much cleaner stories. And don't get me started on Scholastic dumbing down any British references/lingo in the American versions. Scholastic is huge, but having read fairly widely in the YA market (as a kid and teacher) I'm generally not impressed by their influence on the market.
Oh well.

Perhaps you didn't know that the first two books in the Harry Potter series were written on a typewriter.
Yeah, remember those things or aren't you old enough to have composed on those contraptions?
Back when I was in college all we had were typewriters and you basically had to retype everything the night before it was due because that's when you finalized what you had to say. And putting footnotes on a page was a bear because you had to know how much room to leave to get things spaced correctly.
It is so much easier using a computer where you can decide "oh I think I'll just add a paragraph or two at the beginning of page 57." You can do that without having to potentially retype that page, and subsequent pages.
Jo Rowling's first two novels were tight, with little if any fat. Plus, she was trying to break into a market which said that kids wouldn't read long books. She had to keep her stories short and to the point.
I also remember her saying somewhere that when she first submitted the manuscript to agents that she found out that it needed to be double spaced. She had to go back and retype the whole thing!
Later with an upgrade in technology along with fame and popularity...she was able to stretch her literary wings a little more than she could with her first two novels.
As for her books, I am a recovering Harry Potter fandom addict. I've examined and analyzed her series in far more detail than I probably should have. I think I bled the life and wonder out it.
Christopher m. park, I disagree with your assessment about the last two books. I had some big problems with those two. I detailed some of those deficiencies in what I felt were errors of omission on my blog here: http://lcmccabe.blogspot.com/2007/03/in-defense-of-loonish-ness-and-problems.html
That is if you are interested in seeing what an obsessed nitpicker finds fault with.
Oh and Nathan, sorry that your team lost, but hey, Michigan State won!
Go Green! Go White!

I thought each of the first three HP books was better than the last. The fourth was, for me, a step back, mostly because JKR let unfortunate little side plots interfere with the story. I disliked #5 so much that I wasn't sure I wanted to read #6. I thought 6 wasn't bad, maybe on par with the first book but not as good as #3, which remains my favorite.
I'm still feeling some post-traumatic stress from how much I disliked the fifth book, so I'm only sort of looking forward to the last one. I'm counting on a big ending, but there are so many things she could do to mess it up, like somehow reunite Harry and his parents.
We'll see.

Can't say that I have spent as much time as some of the other folks analyzing the Harry Potter books. I read them and I enjoy them. Are they works of literary greatness? No, but they are good stories with a well built world and engaging characters. If I can do those same things in my writing, I've done well.
- March 17, 2007 at 7:41 AM
- Roxan said...
I have read all of her books and, yes, I do believe she has gotten better and more tighter with her writing. She's also not repeating herself constantly as she did with the first books.

To date me, as well as keep with our BB theme, I was at Kansas University with Danny Manning and I was on campus with 30,000 of my closest friends when we won the championship (GO HAWKS!)
I handwrote several drafts of my first novel in my teenaged years, so a typewriter doesn't really impress me so much. And yeah, I do remember typewriters--I wrote many a paper and short story for college on a top end electric smith corona. My method has never kept me from saying what I meant to say in as many words as I needed(though that's not to say it didn't impact her style).
My opinion stands: I like the earlier books better. (The thing about the editing is a theory. Having spent some time on both sides of that table, and knowing what weight copious amounts of earning power gives anyone, I think it's a fairly educated guess.) There are things I like about the later books, and most every page has been an enjoyable read. She has a complicated series with dozens of named characters and she does it better than many.
Most of all, readers love them. I identify with and admire that. It's why I write, too--to entertain my readers.

HP is good, but that last novel was way too darn long. I think it's at the point where the editors don't mess with it--why bother, they'll sell 80 gazillion copies anyway. I just wonder....will this be read in fifty years as "a classic" of our time? It would be interesting to see into the future and find out how long this sort of thing lasts!

Archive for the 'Something For Kate' tag
Under The Covers With My Paul Dempsey Fantasy
Something For Kate has always been a band cemented in my play list. Not only do they rock hard but their front man, Paul Dempsey, has a brain on him the size of a bass drum. His lyrics, often cryptic at first, weave a rich tapestry sadly lacking in today's music.
Not only that, the man does a mean cover. Quite often the cover versions included as b-sides are the highlights of the album. Something For Kate has covered artists the likes of David Bowe, George Michael, Bruce Springsteen and even Christina Aguilera, each one a masterpiece.
After seeing him do a cover of George Michael's Careless Whispers, a little idea popped into my head that just wont go away…
"If you could pick one artist to do an album of covers, who would it be and what is the track list?"
So I present to you my Something For Kate Covers Album:
- Throw Your Arms Around Me (Hunters & Collectors)
- To Be With You (Mr Big)
- Born To Run (Bruce Springsteen)
- Living Type (Powderfinger)
- Catapult (Counting Crows)
- Even When I'm Sleeping (Leonardo's Bride)
- Careless Whispers (George Michael)
- Better Man (Pearl Jam)
- Little Help From My Friends (Joe Cocker's interpretation)
- One Crowded Hour (Augie March)
- Harpoon (Jebediah)
- Blowin' in the Wind (Bob Dylan)
- Baton Rouge (Garth Brooks)
- Maggie May (Rod Stewart)
- Rockin' in the Free World (Neil Young)
- Please Bleed (Ben Harper)
What's yours?

Michelson turned back suddenly, and found the Baskir camp strongly intrenched near the river Aj.
I refer to the scientific experiments of Michelson and Morley of America.
Here Michelson came up on the 22d of August and forced him to raise the siege.
Mrs. Michelson is more likely to be getting up just now than going to bed.
At Crefeld Mr. Michelson visited the camp for interned officers.
Pugasceff's patrols communicated to their leader that Michelson was again at hand.
I don't send for you to make objections, Mrs. Michelson—I send for you to carry out my plans of economy.
The alarmed rebels hurried headlong to the camp, and left two guns in the hands of Michelson.
The first person whom I met in crossing the servants' hall was Mrs. Michelson, the housekeeper.
Only one leader had the courage to pursue Pugasceff even into this land—this was Michelson.

Author: Hydro74
Working under the moniker of Hydro74, Orlando-based designer Joshua Smith is as happy creating type treatments and illustrations for world-famous brands as designing his own T-shirts as the Brass Tack label (brasstackapparel.com). His works have featured on everything from magazine covers to snowboards and trainers. He also sells his typefaces.
"I personally strive to learn something new from every project or try out some techniques that I've only used a couple of times before and want to perfect," he says.
Joshua Smith, aka maverick illustrator Hydro74, has a style that's instantly recognisable – combining the thick, clean lines of graffiti with the iconography of tattoos and the symmetry and patterns of vector art. Here he takes you through how he created his latest work, based around his regular motifs of skulls and swirls mixed with this spring/summer's illustration icon, the owl.
See also: 86 Best Photoshop tutorials
As you follow this tutorial, you'll discover lots of tricks to help you create better art and work faster in Illustrator. You'll learn how to improve your skills with line art, shading using flat fills and colour techniques for limited palettes (to keep printing costs down).
Joshua says that as his techniques are more about drawing vector shapes using the Pen tools than brush strokes, you'll get better results from a mouse than a graphics tablet.

In 1980, it was acquired by its present owner, Ricardo Claro, under whom Santa Rita has reaped the rewards of continuous investment, resulting in a period of impressive growth, during which the winery has consolidated its position in the vanguard of Chile's most successful and innovative estates. Initiatives include the highly successful launch of Santa Rita's 120 Series of wines and a range of ultra-premium wines, notably the highly acclaimed Casa Real and Triple C. Wide-ranging enhancements embrace the purchase of choice new vineyards, plantings with top quality clones, improved trellising and irrigation, balanced viticulture, restricted yields, later harvesting, individual block farming, small-lot vinification, and an increased emphasis on sustainable agriculture.
Today Santa Rita exports to more than 70 countries worldwide. The property accounts for outstanding vineyards in Chile's most important appellations - the Maipo Valley; Casablanca; Rapel; Apalta; Leyda and Curico - enabling access to diverse climates and terrain. View all Santa Rita Wines
About ChileView a map of Chile wineries (CHEE-lay)
Photo of the sun break following morning fog over the vineyards of Veramonte Winery (located in the Casablanca Valley)
Notable FactsThe main regions of Chile include Maipo (pronounced MY-poh), known for reds like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere; Casablanca Valley, a region producing delicious Sauvignon Blanc, as well as other whites & some reds; Colchaugua, an inland district creating amazing red wines from Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, particularly in the Apalta sub-region; and Rapel Valley, settled right under Maipo and producing the same red varietals. A couple of smaller regions to watch include Limari and Elqui, two valleys further north, producing some delicious cool-climate Chardonnay and Bio Bio, an area further south, which is also focused on cool-climate varieties. Chilean wines are growing in exports and more consumers are enjoying the delicious values coming from the country. Red wines of the region, though they cannot be generalized, make the whole gamut of wine quality – quaffable to collectible. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Carmenere are the main players, though Syrah is also making a splash. Some of the best reds are blends of the above varieties. As for whites, Sauvignon Blanc is typically crisp, herbal and racy, while Chardonnay is richer in style with full-bodied texture and tropical fruit flavors.

Torre Visits Cooperstown
Joe Torre has finished his pre-induction tour of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Just like fellow inductees Bobby Cox and Greg Maddux, who were there on Monday, Torre said on Tuesday that the honor of being inducted is beginning to sink in even more.
"It's just been an amazing ride," Torre said. "To wind up in Cooperstown is surreal for me.''
Torre was a star player before he turned to managing and finished his career as the only player to amass more than 2,000 hits (2,342) and win more than 2,000 games as a manager, according to STATS.
Torre and fellow former managers Cox and Tony LaRussa, Maddux and Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas will be inducted July 27.

Jabran was ten years old when I gave him the first racial profiling speech. We were engaged in the obligatory back-to-school shopping. He wanted a sweater that had some hip hop insignia. I looked at him and said, "Honey, if I buy you this sweater, NYPD is going to pick you up." I was a public defender in Manhattan at the time so I knew of which I spoke.
Last year Jabran had his first devastating racial profiling incident by a white man in the neighborhood. Jabran, in a way that would put many adults to shame, handled this act of violence with impressive aplomb. But, when we were finally home together, my child unleashed a flood of tears and fears that almost caused my undoing.
Jabran's life, and mine, changed forever that day. We both knew the shift occurred. Many people would no longer see him the way we see him -- a smart, funny honor student who, at age 12, and of his own volition, decided to take a First Aid class so he could help my sister with my niece who has cerebral palsy. But, what if he wasn't even any of those things? What if he was a struggling black child, subjected to one trauma after another, just trying to survive? Does that child deserve any less protection? All of our children matter but many people only see black boys (and later, men) as threatening figures whose sole purpose is to, at best, feed the coffers of the prison industrial complex, or, at worst, not exist at all.

After a 30-day free trial, FamilyInHistory costs from $8.49 to $18.49 per month.
Before signing on, check out similar free sites, such as SharedTree, Geni (where you can collaborate with relatives on a tree, but can't yet upload a GEDCOM—a spokesperson told me to expect GEDCOM uploads by the end of the year) or Ancestry.com Member Trees (you can build a free tree even if you don't have an Ancestry.com subscription, but nonsubscribers can't access results of the automated Ancestry.com database searches).
To search FamilyRelatives' record databases, you'll need a subscription ($75 for a year) or a pay-per-view account (50 units cost $10; 150 units cost $23.50).
If you go to the New York Times site, you can enter your search terms in the bar near the top of the page and select whether you want to search articles since 1981 or before 1981. Once you have your results, you can select the Advanced option to limit your search to specific dates. The stories are downloadable as PDF documents. (If you happen across articles that aren't in the free years, they're $4.95 each, or you can get a monthly pass for $7.95 that allows 100 story downloads.)
I went hog wild and found a lot of fascinating articles. You don't have to have New York City roots to find good material. None of my ancestors' names turned up in the search, but I found great articles about the ships my ancestors came over from Europe on. (For example, two months before my great-grandfather arrived, an emergency appendectomy was performed on the S.S. Uranium with the E string from a violin.)
You should also try searching for your hometown, just for fun. I discovered an article about a Wellington, Ohio, dairy magnate's campaign against oleomargarine and "filled cheese" in 1894. After his impassioned speech, he raised $150 for the cause in just a few minutes.
Give the search a try, and leave me a comment about your own good finds!

Here's another non-Afrobeat mix... this time it's mostly Hi-Life, some Jazz, some Blues... it's all pretty deep stuff. All records that were used came from Big Mama Unice's Drinking Spot and I hope you'll get as much pleasure out of these tunes as I do. Some of the songs are quite haunting, "wofee woyaa he ni" by the Sparrows or "mensu" by African Bros. give me the chills everytime I listen to them. But don't worry, I haven't forgotten all you Funk people out there! A break-heavy Soul, Funk, Psych & Afrobeat mix will follow in a few days and it's going to be a real tough one. Funky as hell and not a trace of Disco and that's a promise!

A good design withstands the test of time. Add the capacity to endure the coastal air and it can become an architect's mainstay.
About five years ago, Portland, Me.–based architect Scott Simons, AIA, discovered HK Lighting's ZX20 Series while collaborating with local lighting designer Peter Knuppel.
Simons's firm has since specified the series to illuminate entries, ceilings, paths, and outdoor spaces on residential projects, libraries, and a ferry terminal. With an aluminum alloy body and stainless steel hardware, the fixtures are "simple, modern, and well detailed," Simons says. "They're very small and they put out a lot of light."
The collection offers several sizes, configurations, finishes, and source types, but Simons favors the bronze-finished, 2.75-inch-diameter accent model outfitted with an LED driver (shown above). "They pivot around a simple swivel base," he says. "You can put them anywhere."
Similar to its clean design, the fixture's maintenance needs are minimal, which Simons and his clients relish. "We're right on the ocean," he says. "That's why we like it. It's going to hold up to anything." HK Lighting Group, hklightinggroup.com

Gloves makes it hard to switch out fins on the beach.

Gloves makes it hard to switch out fins on the beach.
with a head high swell, it sounds like ill be zipping on the hood again... thank for the info
i surfed with no hood and no gloves in monmouth county today.
was out for 4+ hours, but by the end of the day i couldn't really move my pinky.
my head wasnt cold at all, no ice cream headaches.
I swear I couldve trunked it today for an hour. I was schweting in my 3/2. Next time I'll just be in the spring suit.
fun waves too... too bad it was from that horrible storm
No hood in Monmouth country today, I went under about 6 waves paddling out and I didn't get a headache. It actually felt pretty nice
Hmmmm me thinks tomorow hood off! No 3/2 yet though. gloves? A little scared...
was hoodless again today, and it definitely still does sting at times...
Was out w/o hood today, was fine for the first 2 1/2 hrs, but the water definitely felt colder for the late afternoon shesh, three guys out w/o gloves today ALL three of them were shaking their hands and trying to keep those those BRIGHT RED paws out of the water and none of them looked too comfortable, one said. "It was a bad idea to come out w/o gloves" Soon, almost there........
i surfed seaside yesterday & rocked the full hood, just to be on the safe side (as someone said, head high swell w/ potential for serious duckdiving=hood). saw a couple guys out w/out hoods, & while i was resting between my morning & afternoon sesh, i saw i guy who'd parked near me come back in & grab a beanie...guess it was too much for him w/out.

ECONOMY IS KEYNOTE FOR FARM OPERATI'SIN'38 RECREATION PROJECTS lb TRAFFIC. DEATHS. IN MINNESOTA DECLINE DURING PAST YEAR ICE RINK TEMPTS YOUNGSTER OF SEVENTY The high school basketball team dropped a thriller to Crosby-Ironton Saturday evening, at the local gym. The score was 22-24, which is a good indication of the closeness of the game. The boys played good basket- >all and made the CT boys fight plen- . • for what they got. On Friday night of this week the Walker quint comes to Pine River for Six lreturn same. Windom.—A new interest in ice skating, that jolly old winter sport, this season swept through southwestern Minnesota, and everyone is skating, young and old. Even those who have passed the seventy year mark are exhibiting their gracefulness on ice skates. And if one's age is judged only by his spirit, then C. H. Erickson is one of Windom's youngsters. Although this well-known elderly gentleman is 76 years old, and once again upon seeing the city's splendid skating rink, dug out his old ice skates and enjoyed several trips to the rink. There he has shown some of the boys who are much younger than he, a few fancy stunts on the ice. Whenever the weather is favorable the rink is crowded with young and old, and according to reports, even a dignified alderman has been cutting a few capers recently. PIRATES WIN ONE AND DROP ONE In the face of an increase in the number of highway traffic deaths in the United States and despite a gain in travel of 377,000,000 miles, Minnesota in 1937 decreased its total hi- way fatalities ..5 percent, according to N.W.Elsberg, Minnesota Highway commissioner. Minnesota is one of a handful of states whose traffic accident death rate decreased. During the .year there were/626 persons killed by motor vehicle highway accidents as com- pt.red to 649 in _936, a decrease if 23. This record was made despite the fact that December was a bad month for accident deaths, there being 57 as compared with 46 for December in '36. The reason for this increase has not yet been fully determined, according to W. F. Rosenwald, traffic engineer for the Highway department, whose bureau of accident records is studying the individual accidents in an ef- fqrt to determine there cause. During 1937 in Minnesota gasoline consumption increased 29,000,000 gallons,, which means that 377,090,000 miies of additional travel over 1938. The Highway patrol of the Minnesota Highway department brought 378 traffic law violators into court during jBie month of December, the report of j.olm P. Arnoldy stated. Fines totalling $4,924 were imposed, ringing the year's total to $98,743:76. improper equipment led to the arrest of 120 drivers, while 63 were apprehended for going through "stop" signs, and 41 were arrested for driving while drunk. Being the last month of the year, license correction receipts took a dive to a low of $2,322.90. Funds thus recovered for the entire year enriched the state by $221,169.28 ,the report stated. Edward' ,T. Flynn, Dist. Supervisor, _nd O. E. Anderson, Area Supervise" will give a full and complete outline of the project.and the purpose of same 'at the local PTA meeting Monday evening, February 7.

Taxpayer If thsy wish to keep on the profit side of the ledger in 1938, economy of operation should be the keynote for Minnesota farmers according to Andrew Boss, former vice-director of the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station. As a whole, the agricultural outlook for 1938 Indicates that the best that can be hoped for Is maintenance of the 1937 position, which was fairly satisfactory, observed Dr. Boss, who for more than a quarter of a century has presented recommendations designed to help the individual farmer in planning a profitable program for the year ahead. Domestic demand, chief outlet for farm products, will be less active in 1938, according to a recent Outlook Report of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Only those who balance the farm budget for 1938 and keep the outgo below the income, will keep away from the red ink, believes Dr. Boss. Consequently, a continuation of low pressure, low-cost farming through growth of grass and forage crops will be advisable. Relative prices between livestock and ash crops favor' livestock enterprises, and rebuilding herds and flocks that have been depleted and culling out non-producers and undesirables may well be undertaken during this period of moderate-priced feeds and fair to well-priced livestock. Following are some of the important points in Dr. Boss's discussion of the 1938 farm situation in regard to livestock: Dairy Cattle—Because of their importance to the state's agricultural income, dairy cattle should have first ■consideration in plans for the year. Fortunately, the outlook for dairy products is fairly good for 1938. Unless there is a more serious recession in industrial activity than expA^ed, prices should remain satis.actor^.ur- ing the winter. Lower priced feeds may bring greater production and low- ei prices, but probably not a lower net income. Economy of feeding is an important factor to consider. Hogs—Prospects for hogs indicate that prices will not be so favorable as in the past year. The first 6 or 8 months are expected to offer most favorable returns to hor raisers. A good start and a quick finish is therefore advisable in 1938. Beef Cattle—No promise Is made for a repitition of the favorable price ratio of 1937, but reasonable returns may be expected and fair profits made or low-cost cattle. Emphasis must be put on economy of production as there is little hope for Improvement on the price end of the beef enterprise. Generous use of pasture and feed crops that Insure low-cost gains is advised. Sheep—It is not llkelv that returns for sheep and wool will be as great as 5>. 1937. but flocks may still be built up without detriment to the industry. Sheep still wear golden hoofs, . but not very large ones. While rebuilding farm herds and flocks, it will be well also to give at- tenion to rebuilding th" farm irspi-* stresses Dr. Boss. Soil conservation and soil building are much in the picture at present and are an important part of putting the farm plant in order. Inducements offered bv the 1938 Agricultural Conservation 'Program will assist in covering costs for extra labor materials to say nothing of the increase in potential productive power of the land for future use, 'concluded Dr. Boss.

2012 Hoyt Carbon Matrix RKT
I have a matrix that I had bought from the wonderful Bob at Canyon City Arrow Co. At some point a limb on the bow had cracked and with Hoyt's 1 year warranty they replaced both limbs, cables, strings, and cams. It had never been shot and I purchased it. The riser has a few nicks on it, typical bow. And the limbs, cams, strings and cables have had less then 300 arrows though them.
It is a 50 to 60lb, #2 cams B mod (27.5"). It just is too much bow for me, and too much for my target shooting.
I have a drop away rest, and fuse 5 pin sight that will go with it. $1,200 obo. I will consider trades and money. For pictures please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks!

On Twitter: Reporter Andrew Edwards tweeted live from the event @InlandGov
ONTARIO - Despite signs of an improving economy, the Inland Empire may not escape double-digit unemployment before the end of 2014, and economists making that prediction don't expect the outcome of this year's presidential election to have immediate impact on local or national business conditions.
Economists from Claremont McKenna College and UCLA Anderson Forecast presented their annual Inland Empire Forecast on Tuesday to an audience at Citizens Business Bank Arena.
Although the forecasters do not see any quick fixes for weak labor markets, they are also confident the U.S. economy is not going to slide back into a recession.
That optimistic side of the economists' forecast rests on a few assumptions. For one, Claremont McKenna and UCLA researchers are counting on Congress making a budget deal that would avoid the "fiscal cliff" of automatic tax hikes and sweeping spending cuts that under current law, will go into effect next year.
Also, the economists expect the United States will be able to withstand declines in the Chinese and European economies.
"Barring these risks, we will keep climbing and get out of this hole," UCLA Anderson Forecast economist Jerry Nickelsburg said.
For many job seekers in San Bernardino and Riverside counties, an improving economy does not mean a sudden improvement for labor markets. The forecast calls for the region's unemployment rate to shrink from 13 percent this year to 11.4 percent in 2013.
The forecasters further predict unemployment will improve to 10.6 percent in 2014.
Among industries, the professional and business services sector has seen the most job growth, Claremont McKenna economist Marc Weidenmier said.
That sector has added some 15,000 jobs since spring 2010. Logistics firms have also been a source of job growth, with employers adding some 11,000 positions since the third quarter of 2009.
Growth within the Inland Empire's manufacturing and construction sectors, however, has been more uneven.
Manufacturers have increased payrolls by about 800 jobs since late 2010. Construction employment has grown by about 2,000 positions in that time.
Government employment, by contrast, is trending down. The Inland Empire's public sector has shed about 7,600 jobs since summer 2011.
"We don't expect government employment to be hiring a lot of workers over the next several years," Weidenmier said.
As the Inland Empire Forecast assumes Congress will reach a deficit reduction compromise to avert the "fiscal cliff" - $400 billion in suddenly higher taxes and another $200 billion in federal spending cuts - it also assumes the outcome of the Nov. 6 Presidential Election between President Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will not have an immediate impact on the economic climate.
Their reasoning has more to do with the mechanics of Washington, D.C. than either candidates' platform.
If the Republican Romney wins the election, he's not likely to be in a position to quickly push broad regulatory changes through Congress, Nickelsburg said.
The chances of repealing the Affordable Care Act, AKA "Obamacare," are also slim.
"Unless there is a Republican sweep, which no one is predicting, it's going to be very difficult to repeal (Obamacare) on Day One," Nickelsburg said.

Very attractive hat!
By Scotty's Wife from Vermont
from Wolcott, Vermont
The cap looks great on my husband, I was worried it may look a bit odd, or the hat would be bulky, but no, it is great. Measurement was accurate and fits well. The fact that it is NOT made in China (no offense) and actually made in Ireland makes a world of difference to my husband, and to me, there is some REAL pride and quality that has gone into the making and detail of this casual hat, for the price, it is well worth it. It is the best of it's kind.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Exquisitely made cap!

I purchased this cap for my husband as a Father's Day gift. He loves it. The only problem is that it is a little large though I bought the smallest size. We wish it were adjustable. We are having it professionally altered so it will be perfect. It is an exquisitely made hat, beautifully lined throughout.
