US Ambassador Inaugurates Clinic in Guatemala Supported by the Alpha Omega Foundation
On May 17, 2010, the organization Dentistry For All opened a permanent clinic in the Western Highlands of Guatemala in a village named Comitancillo. This clinic has been in the works for many years, and is the only access to care for most of the 60,000 people of this area. With no access to regular dental care, Dentistry For All has been returning to this town for more than 15 years on an annual mission trip.
However, only providing care for 2 weeks out of the year always leaves many individuals without care the rest of the year.
In an effort to begin preventive and oral health education, Dentistry for All began a campaign a year ago to raise the funds necessary to increase services to these compassionate and gracious people. With almost $60,000 collected by the Alpha Omega US Foundation GOHI branch, Dentistry For All has finally opened a facility to address the long-term needs of this community. This accomplishment has truly been an international effort including many dental suppliers, volunteers, and other foundations, including the Alpha Omega Foundation of Canada. The support of Alpha Omega in extending the reaches of tzedakah to some of the most impoverished areas of the world is greatly appreciated.
To inaugurate the Dentistry For All Dental clinic in Comitancillo, the US Ambassador Stephen McFarland came to congratulate the organization and all the supporters that made this possible. He extended his appreciation on behalf of the US government for all the services and care that groups like this perform in making the world a healthier place one smile at a time.
Rachel Davis wrote the following letter after her most recent trip to Comitancillo:
Although this was my third mission, it was my second time visiting Comi, and I was excited to return to the impoverished town where most of the families struggle to survive on only a few dollars a day. I was on the second of 5 weeks to make the trek down south to Central America. Richard was able to give 2 weeks of volunteering and was already in Comi for the first week. Also with him were Alpha Omegans and the trip leaders Brad Krusky, a pediatric dentist from Calgary, Alberta, and Shane Fisher, a pedodontist from Chicago, IL. There were two other Alpha Omegans volunteering for weeks 1 and 2—Josh Souweine, a general dentist from Rochester, NY, and Alan Ross, an oral surgeon from Regina, Saskatchewan. During the third week, Mark Berkman, an orthodontist from Walled Lake, MI, arrived in Guatemala to be an assistant with the general dentistry needs. Each year we see the increase of Alpha Omegans that want to get involved and volunteer their services and time to the people of Guatemala with arrangements through Dentistry For All.
Shane was able to take a few months off of work and became integrated in the everyday life of Guatemala. He took many courses in Spanish and was designated as one of our translators. His stay in Guatemala was twofold; he also helped erect a permanent clinic in Comi. Not only were Shane and Brad performing the dental procedures like everyone else during their volunteering weeks, but they were also negotiating land plots and buildings and arranging for our future clinic space.
My first trip to Comi was tough for me. I was able to help many Guatemalans with cleanings, fillings, and extractions, but when I hit my first pulp on an anterior tooth because of large decay and did not have the proper endodontic supplies and materials to perform a simple root canal, let alone a pulpotomy, I knew something had to be done. It is not a good feeling to extract a permanent front tooth from anyone under 20 years of age. That moment was a turning point for me: Why shouldn't these people have access to root canal therapy to save a front tooth? I am a general dentist, not an endodontist, but I do enjoy doing root canals, and I'm fairly quick with 1- or 2-canal anterior teeth if I have my rotary instruments and endodontic supplies. After my first mission trip, I contacted my Tulsa Dentsply representative and made him aware of my dilemma. Through my representative and his supervisors, I was able to obtain the necessary equipment the following year to perform root canals to maintain anterior teeth.
This past year, Tulsa Dentsply donated three endodontic motors and even more root canal supplies. I have since made an endodontic tub for all the endodontic supplies so that any volunteer dentist that feels comfortable performing a root canal on the trip can help a patient maintain their teeth.
The vision for Dentistry For All over the next few years is to acquire more Alpha Omegans (both alumni and students) and volunteers to staff a year-round dental clinic in Comi and to establish a working relationship with the citizens throughout Guatemala. One thing is for sure: once you have been to Guatemala and have experienced the culture and graciousness of the community, you will be become a regular on the Dentistry For All team—and this is a healthy addiction.

Please note: This article was originally published in the May 7 print edition of The Compass
Shadows of storm clouds fill the sky as droplets of rain begin to fall. Umbrellas go up, and crowds of people rush to keep from getting wet.
Rain fills the crevasses in the streets, causing water to pool. Cars rush through puddles, splashing anyone that may be nearby.
Underneath the eaves of a local business, covered only with dirty newspaper and a cardboard box, lies a girl, no more than 16 years old, struggling to keep from getting wet.
Though the scene described above is fictional, it's sometimes a reality in municipalities across Canada, including this province.
Awareness campaign
Sleepout 48 is an awareness campaign, sponsored by the Newfoundland and Labrador Housing and Homelessness Network, that saw several youth from the Baccalieu Trail, students from College of the North Atlantic in Carbonear and members of the Open Door ministry take to the streets April 28-30, spending 48 hours facing the elements while raising awareness of youth homelessness.
The campaign helps educate those in the area that people, especially youth, in our communities live in homeless situations every day.
On this day, 12 locals head to the Conception Bay Regional Community Centre in Carbonear, equipped with only a sleeping bag, a few essentials and the clothes on their backs. They don't know what to expect, says organizer Stacy Harris.
"We decided to do 48 hours to support the cause of raising awareness around youth housing and homelessness in our area," she explains, mentioning a St. John's event a few weeks ago, Sleepout 120, was an influence to bring the campaign to rural areas.
Living on donations
Partakers are not allowed to supply anything else, and rely only on donations for food, drinks and anything to shelter them from the elements.
"Some (people) gave money donations, or brought coffee. We've even had pizza delivered to us," Harris says.
Lined against the community centre are eight cardboard refrigerator boxes donated by a local business. Inside them lie the sleeping bags and a couple of blankets. Nothing else.
As the sun sets and the night air gets cold, the group huddles together to keep warm inside the boxes.
"This just got real," participant Kathleen Mercer states as the group settles down for their first night on the ground.
They successfully complete the first night.
Couch surfing
The next morning, several members arrive at the TC Square shopping centre in Carbonear to demonstrate a common form of homelessness known as "couch surfing."
"Couch surfing is when someone doesn't have a place to live and they might go from a friend's house to a relative's house and literally sleep on someone's couch," Harris says. "It seems to be very prevalent in this area."
Another matter the group strongly recognizes is the lack of youth shelters in the area. They hoist a sign in the mall that states "There are no youth shelters on the Baccalieu Trail."
"We are sending our youth to St. John's, and they are becoming disconnected with their support services, their families and sometimes school," Harris exclaims. "With a shelter on the Baccalieu Trail it would help with that."
Homelessness is usually not seen around this area because it is "hidden," she notes. The group had heard stories about people sleeping in improvised shelters on the wharf and in abandoned buildings around Carbonear.
Community support
The group received community support from the Town of Carbonear, College of the North Atlantic, M-RON, the Knights of Columbus in Carbonear and many other businesses and organizations.
"The amount of community support, the amount of food, the people who stopped off and donated $5 into our little piggy banks is unreal," Harris says "They chatted with us and said 'what a great cause.'"
For supper on April 29, family and friends donated a hot meal of pasta, pizza, soup and sandwiches at the Knights of Columbus.
Harris hopes those who donated to their cause will take the support and transfer it to the community by helping a neighbour, a friend or someone in need, even if it means just talking with someone.
"Sometimes that will make all the difference in someone's life," she says.
Those in need of housing assistance in the area can contact Kimberly Crane, a community support worker at M-RON.

Fighting Grain Fires
Date Posted: September 1, 1999
By Robert W. Schoeff
Many years ago, our local fire chief asked for help in fighting a fire at a local grain elevator. He said he couldn't find any guidelines to help him. I called a meeting of several experienced fire chiefs and industry personnel to share their experiences.
This article is based on a summary of that meeting 10 years ago and information gathered since then. This is critical information to share with your local fire department. Better yet, if you or any of your employees are members of a local volunteer fire department, use this as the basis for a training session.
Before a Fire Happens
1. Firefighters need to become thoroughly acquainted with all commercial grain storage and processing facilities in their fire district, on both a day and night time basis. Supply fire districts with an up-to-date plat map of the facility that shows:
• The location of all buildings, access roads, and gates.
• The location of all utilities, includng gas, electricity, water, and telephone.
• The location of fire hydrants and sprinkler connections.
• The location of grain dryers.
• The location of hazardous chemicals in storage including fertilizer and petroleum products.
Also, make sure the district has up-to-date cross-sectional drawings showing horizontal and vertical measurements of the grain elevator, processing plants, and other buildings. Make sure different floor levels in the elevator headhouse are identified along with exit doors, windows, and escape ladders.
Update these plans at least once a year. Once every six months is preferable.
2. Review procedures for reporting a fire. All fires should be reported promptly.
If an automatic fire alarm system is in place, check periodically to ensure that it will function properly. Check to see if it is installed properly and will give adequate protection. Make sure an alternative communication system in case telephone service is not available. This can happen easily if there is a dust explosion.
3. Review what appropriate steps employees and managers should take before the fire department arrives.
This might be a difficult chore, since every fire is different. On the other hand, certain types of equipment often are involved in fires, such as a slipping conveyor belt or an overheated bearing.
4. Train your local firefighters on the layout of your facility and the obstacles they'll face in the event of a fire.
Once a Fire Occurs
1. Identify the type of fire and materials involved:
• Electrical – control and junction boxes, exposed wiring, unapproved extension lights, high voltage (220 and 440 volts).
• Structural – Wood, metal-clad wood, all metal or steel, concrete, other materials.
• Equipment – conveying, processing, drying, or packaging.
• Stored materials – corn, oats, wheat, barley, rye, sorghum, soybeans, flax, sunflower, canola, cottonseed, dehydrated alfalfa. Note: oilseeds and dried alfalfa may spontaneously combust.
• Chemicals – fumigants, grain preservatives, drugs, fertilizers such as ammonia nitrate or anhydrous ammonia.
• Other organic materials – milk powder, sugar, spices, etc.
• Processed material – processed flour, corn meal, corn starch, grits, bulgar, breakfast foods, pet foods.
• Byproducts – grain dust and millfeeds such as bran, hulls, and creenings.
2. Where available, follow established guidelines for the type of fire being fought – electrical, hazardous material, etc.
3. For fires involving stored grain and processed grain products, there are 10 areas where fires are most likely to start:
• Receiving pits.
• Conveyors.
• Headhouse, top and bottom.
• Loading areas, including both confined and open systems such as bucket elevators, open belt conveyors, and pneumatic systems.
• Dryers, including whole grain, feed pellets, and starch.
• Storage silos and bins.
• Processing equipment, including grinders and roller mills.
• Packaging.
• Warehouse.
• Transportation equipment.
4. Determine the location and extent of the fire and whether it is on the urface an accessible.
5. If the fire is accessible and controllable, use water through a fogger nozzle. Never hit grain or grain dust with a straight stream. Be equally careful not to point a dry chemical extinguisher directly at a grain dust fire because of the danger of creating a dust cloud. Deep-seated fires caused by spontaneous combustion or a dust explosion are hard to detect and not easily extinguished by using water.
6. If the fire is not readily accessible in a storage silo or bin, consider using an attic probe or a probe with small orifices that can be inserted into the burning area and introduce "wet" water.
7. If a fire is in the upper part of the structure or headhouse, determine if a dry pipe sprinkler system is available for charging. Use that, if available. Keep all personnel at a safe distance from the building, 100 to 200 feet, in case a dust explosion might occur.
8. To minimize smoke and water damage, remove burning material as quickly as possible through outside openings in the storage structure. Do not move burning material through interior conveying systems.
Exercise extreme care in cutting openings that the structural integrity of the building is not compromised nor that a fire is started or an explosion caused. Consult with a structural engineer wherever possible. Have fire department personnel available to wet down the grain or other ingredients so there is no dust cloud that can be fuel for a flash fire.
9. Consult with your insurance company and salvage experts whenever possible to minimize damage to the structure and inventory.
10. Small surface fires resulting from a dust explosion, if accessible, can be extinguished with water and a fogger nozzle. Deep-seated fires in the grain mass can be eliminated best by removing the grain from the storage bin.
Experienced fire chiefs recommend that upon arriving at the fire scene, adopt a defensive mode. Place personnel safety first. Do not risk unnecessary manpower when investigating and fighting a grain fire. Keep personnel out and at a safe distance, especially from wood structures.

AT&T executives, speaking at the CTIA conference in Las Vegas on Tuesday, described the U.S. mobile market as a world leader but warned that without continued hard work that position is in jeopardy.
Their comments might seem ironic to iPhone users, many of whom complain about AT&T's poor network performance.

But the growth figures that the executives shared perhaps explain why the operator has had a hard time keeping up with demand.
Over the past three years, wireless data volume in the United States grew more than 3,000 percent, said Randall Stephenson, president and CEO of AT&T. During that time, volume at AT&T grew 5,000 percent, he said.
"There is no doubt data consumption will continue to surge as networks get faster," he said.
The United States is ahead of the rest of the world in wireless broadband, said Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO of AT&T Mobility. "No matter how you look at it, the U.S. is at the top," he said.
The United States has 117 million 3G subscribers, or 18 percent of the world's 3G subscribers, he said. The country with the next most subscribers is Japan, with 101 million 3G users, he said. Since the United States has only 7 percent of the world's total wireless subscribers, that's remarkable, he said.
The United States also leads the world in smartphone sales, with 2010 expected sales to be more than twice the number of the nearest country, he said. In 2010, the United States is expected to see 53 million smartphones sold, compared to 25 million in China, he said.
The United States leads in application downloads too, with 1.1 billion applications downloaded in 2009, he said.
But that success is no guarantee of success in the future, he said. He fears a time when demand outstrips the ability of networks to support users.
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has promised to make available 500MHz of spectrum, which will help. But that will likely take years. In the meantime, operators can do a few things to help boost capacity. One is use complementary technologies like Wi-Fi and femtocells, he said. There are around 70,000 hotspots in the United States today, he said.
In addition, the industry should focus on increasing the efficiency of applications, he said. He said that AT&T tested the network consumption of mobile e-mail application providers and found an eight-fold difference between the one that consumed the most and the least. Another study showed that one device maker used data more efficiently by a factor of three times compared to the next one. "Application efficiencies can help conserve spectrum," he said.
Using these methods to make sure to meet demand is crucial, Stephenson said. "The U.S. is leading the world but future leadership is not a birthright. We've seen America lose its lead in fields it once dominated," including automotive, steel and manufacturing, he said. "The stakes our high and the opportunity is large. As a country we can't afford to mess this up."

SAN DIEGO - City Attorney Michael Aguirre Wednesday released asubpoena issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission seekingtestimony from the San Diego City Clerk's Office.
The subpoena, issued yesterday, did not specify who was being asked to testify before the SEC, only that questioning would occur on Sept. 20 at 10 a.m. at the city clerk's office inside City Hall.
The person appointed to handle subpoenas directed to the city clerk's office did not immediately return calls seeking clarification.
The SEC is investigating possible securities fraud charges related to errors and omissions in San Diego's pension-related bond disclosures.
A shortfall of at least $1.4 billion in the city's pension system has also triggered investigations by the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Princeton NJ (SPX) May 13, 2008
Since ancient times, locust plagues have been viewed as one of the most spectacular events in nature. In seemingly spontaneous fashion, as many as 10 billion critters can suddenly swarm the air and carpet the ground, blazing destructive paths that bring starvation and economic ruin.
What makes them do it?
A team of scientists led by Iain Couzin of Princeton University and including colleagues at the University of Oxford and the University of Sydney believes it may finally have an answer to this enduring mystery.
"Cannibalism," said Couzin, an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Princeton.
Writing in the May 8 online edition of Current Biology, Couzin and colleagues say that the collective motion of locusts is driven by "cannibalistic interactions."
"Cannibalism is rife within marching bands of locusts," said Couzin. Desert locusts usually feed on vegetation, but individual locusts have been observed to feed on other live locusts or cadavers. This behavior and its effect upon the group, however, have not previously been studied.
"No one knew until now that cannibalistic interactions are directly responsible for the collective motion exhibited by these bands," added Couzin, whose graduate student, Sepideh Bazazi, is the lead author on the paper.
In zoology, cannibalism is defined as occurring when any species consumes members of its own kind.
Young locusts are pressed to eat others when the food supply necessary for supporting the population starts to dwindle. Starved for essential nutrients such as protein and salt, young locust "nymphs" will nip at each other. Those under siege react by running from the aggressors.
Others get jittery and simply seek to put space between them and any locust approaching from behind. That's how one aggressive interaction can lead to another and collectively start a vast migration, Couzin said.
And the activity intensifies, as the biting and ominous approach of others increases both the propensity to move and the forward momentum of individual locusts.
The researchers reached their conclusion by studying immature, flightless locusts. They developed computerized motion analysis to automatically track the insects marching in an enclosed arena.
In nature, Couzin said, these locust nymphs can gather in large mobile groups called bands. They can stretch over tens of miles, devouring vegetation as they march. They inevitably precede the flying swarms of adult locusts.
"Once they take flight, locust control is extremely expensive and ineffective," Couzin said. "So understanding when, where and why the bands of juvenile locusts form is crucial for controlling locust populations."
Through history, locusts have invaded up to one-fifth of the Earth's surface, he said. They have contributed to major humanitarian crises in areas such as Darfur and Niger.
Besides having practical applications, understanding the movement of locusts also is part of a growing inquiry by scientists into an area known as group dynamics. With locusts, researchers have been seeking to understand how the group seems to move with the synchronized perfection of the Rockettes when there is no centralized leader and individuals can barely see beyond a few neighbors on either side.
Animal groups such as flocks of birds, schools of fish and swarms of insects frequently exhibit such complex and coordinated collective motion and present a great opportunity to understand how local interactions can lead to vast collective behavior, the scientists said.

Platypus Genome Sequenced, Unlocking Secrets Of Evolution
Cold Spring Harbor NY (SPX) May 13, 2008
By any account, the platypus is an odd creature. It's got a broad, rubbery bill that brings to mind a duck....but it swims more like a beaver....yet it lays eggs and can inject poisonous venom, like a reptile. No wonder it was considered an elaborate hoax by scientists who examined the first specimen pelt shipped to England from the colony of New South Wales in 1799.

My Ride: 2008 X3, 6 Speed
Revisiting an old issue.. Vibration/Jerk in the rear
okay, about a year ago I picked up my 330xi. manual.. at the beginning I noticed a shake/hesitation/jerk at around 2-2.5k rpm in second gear. After reading numerous threads on what it could be I checked a few things and this past Spring 2012 I did a bunch of maintanance to *hopefully* address that.
- My left rear axle was shot - Ordered a new one from BMWparts (OEM).
- While down there I rebuild my rear right one also, it was still good with a minor boot tear, so fresh grease, new clamps good to go.
- Also while doing that I changed out all my fluids, diffs, trans, tcase with redline stuff.
- Also I was due for new tires so I slapped some new ones on (**thought the vibration was before due to somewhat bald tires**).
- Has nothing to do with the hesitation/jerk but I did my OFHG.
- Also put in new spark plugs, NGK as recommended on here.
- Replaced my RTAB's last December 2011 with OEM M3 ones.
- Also earlier this year I replaced the flex disc and CSB because everyone was saying that's probably where its coming from. After getting to the part, I noticed both components were in mint condition but I changed them out anyways as I had the parts in my hands.
After that tune up the car felt great, shifting smooth and summer was there so it was warmer climates of course, didn't have a whole lot of chances to drive it as I have another vehicle and I was away for work a lot but the BMW performed flawless.
Just recently my other car was put in storage and now in the mornings I find I have that vibration again in the XI.. It seems to be when its colder that its more noticable, the rpm range is certainly between 2-3k rpm while accelerating in 2nd. Also I am certain this is coming from the rear end.
Some of the other things I've checked and read about...
- I checked my engine mounts, had someone rev the engine while I was watching it my engine has no movement. It's in there solid.
- Suspension was not too long ago replaced by PO straight from BWM dealership and I have the invoices so I know its not lies.. And the car feels tight. Also, the car has 217,000 KM on it but handles better than most of the rentals I've driven that contain like less than 10,000 KM on them.
- Oh and no errors codes or CEL rights after doing a scan with INPA
So please, can anyone help me out here? What else is to check/do? Please help me out!

I am a dog owner and always walk my lhasa apso at the Tennis Park on Hopyard.
My dog is always on a leash when we walk. On several occasions I have had
encountered the same woman with two dogs (one big dog and a small dog) who never has her dogs on a leash. Twice her dogs have chased me and my dog thru the park. Twice I have called animal services and complained about her off leash dogs. Twice animal services has given her a courtesy notice instead of citing her the for the second offense.
There is clearly a notice posted at the park at both ends--however, for some reason several dog owners feel they don't need to obey it. If there is a city code for dogs off leash, and owners are reported then they should be given a citation. Animal Services needs to get tough on these citations instead of issuing courtesy notices which mean nothing. If a person runs a stop sign, they are given a ticket the same should hold for dog owners whose dogs are off leash and chasing people and dogs thru the park. If you want people to take this seriously then enforce the code and issue citations on the first offense.

By Samantha Mehlinger - Staff Writer
May 07, 2013 - Increasing demand for single-family homes continues to be exacerbated by an ever-shrinking inventory as the real estate market is midway through its second quarter. Long Beach agents are seeing bidding wars cause the median price of homes to appreciate at an accelerated rate.
"We definitely saw this light switch go on and all of a sudden buyers are out in droves," says Russ Caldarella, an agent with First Team Real Estate. He notes that any typical open house in Long Beach right now gets a ton of traffic. "Gosh, anywhere from 25 to 75," he says of the number of people going through a given open house.
From a realtor's perspective, he says, "What it looks like is, you've got many buyers that you're working with putting offers in on properties. It can be very frustrating for buyers right now because only one person is getting a house, where you might have anywhere from 10 to 25 offers on a piece of property." He adds, "As I like to say, qualified to buy, but nowhere to go."
Gary Painter, director of research at the USC Lusk Center for Real Estate, told the Business Journal that the dynamic of high demand and low supply does not necessarily indicate growth. He explains that due to shrinking inventory, the market is moving "very quickly, which is good for those who are trying to sell."
Painter elaborates, "But at the same time, you might not call that growth in the housing market." When considering the increase in median price for a home, he says, one might get the impression of growth. "But overall, it's still not a normal market in respect to inventory that's transacting and so forth."
Multi-family continues to experience lower inventory as well, although not to the extent of the single-family market. Painter predicts rent will increase as demand continues to be strong. "I think for the very short run you'll still see price pressures on rents because of the number of people who have actually been reducing their housing demand by living with their parents longer or doubling up," he explains.
The most recent apartment research report by Marcus & Millichap shows vacancy rates at a tight 3.7 percent in the Greater Los Angeles area. The South Bay sports an even slimmer rate at about 3 percent even.
California's Employment Development Department (EDD) calculates state unemployment decreased to 9.4 percent in March from 9.6 percent in February. The EDD's Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale report for that time period shows L.A. County's unemployment dropped from 10.3 to 10.2 percent in the same time period.
Robert Kleinhenz, chief economist at the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation's Kyser Center, observes that despite the one-tenth percent monthly rate of decreasing unemployment in L.A. county recently, the amount of jobs added within nonfarm sectors is better than it seems. "The L.A. county economy was really stuck in neutral, say at the beginning of last year, but by middle of last year the pace of job growth has accelerated to where L.A. is now adding wage and salary jobs at a faster rate than the nation as a whole." According to the EDD, these numbers translate to a nonfarm employment increase of 23,700 jobs from February to March.
While trade, transportation utilities, and manufacturing saw job losses from February to March, demand for industrial space is still high. Perhaps this is because, according to Kleinhenz, "I have a hunch that's just a seasonal low and that we're going to see things come back as we go further into the year."
Demand for Class-A space led to a negative absorption in the industrial market, as construction of 1.3 million square feet of space was introduced to the South Bay market to meet that demand. According to CB Richard Ellis (CBRE), most of this construction is concentrated in Long Beach.
Kleinhenz quotes a vacancy rate in L.A.'s industrial market at around 4.4 percent. "They have been, and continue to be, among the lowest in the country," he says of the county's vacancy rates. Long Beach, on the other hand, has a current vacancy rate of about 7 percent, he notes. A report by Lee & Associates attributes the uptick to the introduction of significant square footage to the Long Beach submarket.
While the majority of the L.A County's job growth from February to March occurred in the professional and business services sector, the office market is not yet seeing a corresponding increase in demand. Some agents, like Becky Blair, president and principal of Coldwell Banker Commercial BLAIR WESTMAC, believe slow demand in the office market persists partially due to the continuing trend of businesses consolidating space rather than expanding.
A first quarter survey of the office market by Cushman & Wakefield indicates both the downtown and suburban markets in Long Beach experienced negative absorption. The South Bay accounts for 18 percent of vacant space distribution within the greater L.A. area, according to a first quarter office report by CBRE. Vacancy in the South Bay increased by one and a half percent, partially the result of the addition of new space on the market, as in Douglas Park.
As more individuals gain jobs and begin to feel more stable in their finances, they will be more likely to spend on retail. In Long Beach, Kleinhenz says, "The unemployment rate was 10.9 percent for the month of March this year compared to 12.4 percent a year ago in March 2012." Year over year, unemployment in L.A. County as a whole dropped 1.3 percent, while in Long Beach it was a slightly higher at 1.5 percent. "A much needed improvement has taken place," Kleinhenz says.
Doug Shea, principal and boardmember at INCO Commercial, says that on the retail market, "There is a giant lack of inventory of properties for sale. For commercial, there is hardly anything going on the market right now." Demand, he says, is primarily from buyers. "Demand for leasing right now is a little bit flat," he says, citing "over-priced" leasing rates as the cause.
According to a press release by the UCLA Anderson Forecast, Senior Economist David Schulman's research indicates, "the housing sector, which led the downturn, is now leading the recovery." Whether or not inventory will improve in the coming months remains to be seen, as banks continue to hold onto distressed properties as their values appreciate, and homeowners looking for a better return on their property investment do the same.
Market Blossoms With Roots In Unhealthy Inventory
If inventory of single-family homes was low in Los Angeles County and the state last quarter, it's even lower now. Coupled with high demand from buyers looking to get into the market while prices are still below the pre-recession highs, the continuing downward trend in inventory makes for what is now a very clearly defined seller's market.
Geoffrey McIntosh, broker and co-owner of Main Street Realtors, iterates these market conditions. "We have a dramatic shortage of inventory right now. There is far more buyer demand than properties on the market." As a result, he says, "If anything comes on the market that's appropriately priced, the sellers are seeing multiple offers." He says this trend is occurring citywide.
Phil Jones, broker and owner of Coldwell Banker Coastal Alliance, says the current L.A. County market is experiencing "an extreme shortage" in available homes. The high demand is reflected in a shorter median number of days homes are sitting on the market, which Jones cites as 54 days, a decrease from 85 in March last year. McIntosh estimates an even greater decrease at 34 days on the market.
Jones provides some numbers to illustrate just how low inventory is right now. "Last year at the end of March in Long Beach for single-family, townhomes and condos, there were 1,293 listings. At the end of March this year, there were only 417 total listings in our city." This translates to 1.4 months of supply, "which is alarmingly low," he says.
Due to the combination of low inventory and what he calls "pent up demand," median home prices are increasing at a rapid rate. Jones cites the 90808 zip code as an example, noting that as of the end of March there were only 29 homes on the market in that area. "There is less than a month's supply of inventory, and as a result the median sales price in 90808 increased March over March by 20 percent."
McIntosh also notes that within Long Beach as a whole, "the median [price] is actually somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 percent over a year ago." He cautions not to take these numbers at face value. "That's a little misleading because what we're seeing is a shift in the inventory we're selling. We're seeing more higher end homes sell, which causes the median to increase. People are confused by that. They think their house is worth 20 percent more than it was a year ago, but it's not," he explains. Still, "if you compare neighborhood to neighborhood, prices are up pretty significantly," he says.
Increasing median price may not necessarily be a solid win for the housing market. Of the sharp price increases, Jones comments, "While that is good news for the homeowners, it is not great news for homebuyers. But more importantly, it's an unsustainable rate of increase. We really need to see more inventory to be a more healthy market overall."
Kleinhenz of the Kyser Center states that L.A. County had one of the fastest rates of increase in median home price over the past year. While this is partially an indication of a healthier economy, it also points to restrictions within the market. "A lot of that price appreciation is driven not necessarily by healthy fundamentals but because there is a really tight supply, both with respect to distressed and non distressed properties at this time," he says. He explains the process of selling a lender-owned home is lengthy, which holds up inventory.
Jones points out that banks are holding onto distressed properties. "Banks are acting in their own best interest, which is a benefit to their shareholders, and not releasing these properties," he says, explaining that banks are holding onto properties in the hopes that they can later sell them for a higher price.
Market analysis by the California Association of Realtors (CAR) suggests that the single-family market is in a much healthier place than it was when the market began declining in 2006. CAR compares figures gauging financial responsibility of single-family buyers in 2006 to figures from 2012. The findings suggest a more stable market. While 2006 saw 21.1 percent of buyers with zero percent down payment on their purchase, 2012 saw only 4.6 percent. In 2006, 43.3 percent of buyers took out a second mortgage, while only 1.8 percent had a second mortgage in 2012.
The percentage of buyers with adjustable rate mortgages also declined significantly, from 32.6 percent in 2006 to 3.5 percent in 2012. Perhaps the best indicators that home investors are more responsible are the number of buyers with a 20 percent down payment, which totaled 54.4 percent of homebuyers in 2012 as opposed to 43.2 percent in 2006. 30 percent of homebuyers paid cash last year, while only 11 percent did so in 2006.
CAR also reports "fierce market competition" will prevail in California throughout 2013 due to the low inventory of homes. The association also notes buyer competition is even tougher in areas with a large concentration of bank-owned (REO) sales.
Multi-Family Continues To See High Demand
Over the past quarter, the multi-family market continued to experience increased demand and decreasing vacancy rates with strong interest from buyers. Year-over-year, vacancy rates in Long Beach dropped 50 basis points last quarter to 3.8 percent, according to an apartment market research report for the second quarter by Marcus & Millichap.
Eric Christopher, senior associate and apartment specialist with INCO, says at the height of the recession the vacancy rate for multi-family homes in Long Beach was about 7 to 8 percent. Job losses, he says, had many people "crashing on someone's couch" or "moving back home."
Christopher elaborates on the economic factors behind the dropping vacancies. "What has happened since 2011 is we've added back some jobs. There's been a little bit of improvement in the economy, so the first thing you are going to do is move back and get your own place, right?"
Mike Dunfee of the Mike Dunfee Group and a director for DOMA Properties, estimates the occupancy rate of condos in Downtown Long Beach to be 95 percent, with 65 to 70 percent of properties owner-occupied and the balance is tenant-occupied.
Increased occupancy drove up rental prices last year. The Marcus and Millichap report cites a 6.8 percent increase in rents year-over-year. Steve Bogoyevac, vice president of investments for the company, believes the rate of increase is slowing down. "I think they kind of leveled out at the end of last year," he says. Marcus & Millichap quotes the current median rent as $1,445 per month.
While rates are lower than in the rest of South Bay, which boasts a median of $1,810 per month, Long Beach's rents increased by 1.2 percent more than the South Bay's. This difference is driven by a greater demand in the Long Beach market, which experienced a higher drop in vacancy rates year-over-year. Today Bogoyevac says a vacancy typically sees multiple renters vying to fill the space. 'That's still going on, which is why we are going to see rents be driven up."
Christopher notices a similar dynamic in the multi-family market to that of single-family. "The trend right now is probably best defined by buyer aggressiveness, or let's say there is an imbalance of buyers in the market," he says.
Dunfee estimates 34 percent of interested parties on the market are cash buyers. He suggests people may be looking at multi-family as a better investment opportunity than others. "They will buy this rather than get less than one percent in a CD. They are able to get a better return on just owning a condo, with anticipated appreciation. Or they can just rent it out and get a higher monthly return."
One reason more people are looking to invest in multi-family is that it offers less risk than other opportunities, says Christopher. "The word is out on apartments. It's always been a great storehouse of value. You have to work a little bit at it, but you aren't going to lose 50 percent of your investment in 18 months like has happened in the stock market."
In terms of the makeup of these buyers, Bogoyevac says, "There are local guys and there's international money. There are buyers paying with cash, and there are buyers getting incredible financing which is available now."
Bogoyevac cites higher-end buildings are more popular for buyers. "I would say that the trend is that there was a very heavy interest in the A-location properties," he says. "The trend goes with the A's, and as that gets way too competitive people start slipping down to the Bs, and downward it goes."
Construction In The Industrial Market Concentrates in Long Beach
The Greater Los Angeles County industrial market is seeing an increase in construction rates, with an estimated 3.9 million square feet currently under construction. An industrial market report by CBRE covering L.A. County shows the South Bay carrying the bulk of this space with 1.3 million square feet in development. Long Beach's Douglas Park and Watson Center developments account for the majority of this square footage. CBRE handles leasing and sales for part of the Douglas Park project.
The introduction of new product on the marketplace caused an increase in vacancies; Lee & Associate's quarterly industrial report notes the vacancy rate jumped from 4.5 to 6 percent. Negative absorption in the South Bay totaled 138,961 square feet.
Brandon Carrillo, senior associate at Lee & Associates, elaborates on the report: "We saw about a million-and-a-half square feet delivered between the fourth and first quarter last year and this year. With the additional supply we got that blip in regard to the demand," particularly in the Douglas Park area and in Carson.
"There's a big demand for our product," he says of industrial space in Long Beach. "What we've been tracking is a huge demand for quality distribution warehouses with all the bells and whistles." CBRE emphasizes that development in the South Bay is made up of Class-A buildings, which are each at least 100,000 square feet.
Lance Ryan, vice president of marketing and leasing of Watson Land Company, says vacancy of industrial units in Carson has dropped significantly over the past quarter. He attributes increasing demand to development within the city. "At the beginning of this year there was an expansion of the overweight corridor. That was the big news for us and affected most of Watson Industrial Center and some other surrounding industrial properties." He continues, "Some new leases have occurred as a result of that."
The demand for industrial in Carson is so high, he says, "Right now we have some of our lowest vacancy on record." While the holiday season at the end of the fourth quarter typically experiences a rush in demand and a corresponding dip into the first quarter, he observes, "What we saw this year was a lot of that product, that demand and that need, remained into the first quarter."
The industrial market also faces the low inventory and increased demand plaguing much of the real estate market. "On the sales side, there is a huge shortage," Carrillo says. Small Business Administration (SBA) financing and low interest rates are driving these investments, which Carrillo says make it "the user's advantage to buy versus lease. Whereas before the SBA created these more favorable terms, it was still slanting towards leasing versus a purchase."
Steve Warshauer of First Team Real Estate provides some insight into how smaller industrial properties are faring. Based on the past quarter he sees an "increased interest and increased activity," noting that he has been getting more calls and offers on listings. Like Carrillo, he says more are looking to buy than to lease.
Warshauer tends to work in smaller and mid-sized buildings in the Class-B and C markets. "That is a pretty hot market right now. If you've got a 5,000 or 10,000-square-foot building or even smaller, and you put that on the market at anywhere near what it's worth, it's going to get some activity. It's going to get sold."
Warshauer says part of the reason smaller buildings are doing better is that there is a much smaller inventory of these because Class-A structures are primarily what is being built right now. "It is creating some vacancies in the older, larger properties." Carrillo sees the same issue. "The problem is trying to figure out what to do with our out-of-date, functionally obsolete product."
Overall Carrillo says, "Things are picking up toward a healthy market with half sales and half leases; the market is recovering to where we are getting back to that ratio." CBRE's report estimates that while rent rates increased by only about one cent last quarter, increased construction and lower vacancy rates predicted for the remainder of 2013 will likely spike up rents about 6 percent.
Office Space Sees Negative Absorption
Both the downtown and suburban Long Beach office markets saw negative absorption this quarter, according to the first quarter survey by Cushman & Wakefield of California, Inc. An office market report from CBRE notes this is the first in eight consecutive quarters that Greater Los Angeles has seen negative absorption as well as increased vacancy. The majority of this negative absorption took place within the South Bay.
Cushman & Wakefield reports that Downtown Long Beach experienced a negative absorption of 30,278 square feet from fourth quarter of 2012 through the first of 2013, while the suburban market saw negative absorption of 34,175 square feet. However, the report also states the suburban Long Beach market saw an increase in leasing activity of 46.5 percent from last quarter.
Some of this negative absorption may be accounted for by the addition of office space in Douglas Park, which continues to be developed and pique interest. Robert Garey, senior director with Cushman & Wakefield, notes "that there is a little bit more activity and also some renewed interest in the Douglas Park development, which I think will help spur more activity along the suburban Long Beach market. I do think the Douglas Park Development will be more of a catalyst for activity overall."
Downtown's Molina Center, the 200 and 300 Oceangate towers owned by Molina Healthcare, is also injecting some activity into the marketplace downtown. Founder of WM Commercial, Toliver Morris, states, "I think one of the big helpers in the office market is Molina's purchase of the previously-named ARCO center, and they continue to fill that space as space becomes available within that building."
Blair of Coldwell Banker Commercial BLAIR WESTMAC spoke with the Business Journal and Morris in a conference call. She adds that Molina's Millworks project on 6th Street and Pine Avenue will create more inventory on the market as well. Adding more space may mean we continue to see negative absorption in the marketplace, but Blair is optimistic that these spaces will be filled quickly. "That's going to add another 200,000 square feet of office that hopefully will be filled as soon as it is finished."
Morris points out that the Class-A market is "pretty solidified and stable," considering the introduction of Class-A space at Douglas Park and the Molina Center buildings. "Landmark Square and Shoreline Square are very stable, with the exception of the World Trade Center, which has been kind of in a state of flux over the past 18 months or so with the port [considering moving to the WTC]," he observes.
The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan division of L.A. County experienced moderate employment gains in the professional and business services sector, totaling 6,500 additional jobs from February to March of 2013. Continued job growth in this field could mean increased demand for office space in the months to come. However, because this increase is relatively modest, it is unlikely there will be a huge spike in demand. Cushman & Wakefield's Garey puts it succinctly: "Employment triggers demand for office space. We have seen some increases, but it's not robust enough to create driving demand for more office space."
Garey believes the market will continue at a steady pace this year, without sharp increases or decreases in vacancy. "Until we see a shift in our economy I do not anticipate that we are going to see any significant change."
Blair says businesses continue to consolidate their space rather than to expand, which also accounts for unenthusiastic demand. "One of the reasons office leasing is not moving quite as swiftly as we would like is that a lot of companies are consolidating their space."
Morris is slightly more optimistic about a potential increase in demand within the market. "I think we're starting to see more inquiries and a lot more people looking, and more tenants growing and expanding. So I think we are going to see an uptick," he speculates.
New Restaurants On The Rise As Retail Market Holds Steady
The retail market is holding steady, although perhaps not experiencing any significant growth as the job market in the L.A.-Long Beach-Glendale area continues to increase at a glacial pace, according to EDD statistics. Retail grows only as fast as the improving job market enables more consumers to flex spending power.
Brian Russell, vice president of Coldwell Banker Commercial BLAIR WESTMAC, predicts demand for retail space will increase as the economy grows. "I think people are starting to feel more confident about their jobs and the economy in general. There is still some tentativeness, though," he says. While he is starting to see more vacancies fill, he says retail is still "a challenging market."
So far this year, Russell says, "I believe in the first quarter we've seen some nice pickup in retail activity. We have started to see some people come back into the marketplace, which means some vacancy is being leased up."
According to a report by CBRE, the first quarter of 2013 closed with a retail vacancy rate of 6 percent within Greater Los Angeles. Retail space within the South Bay makes up 9 percent of physical vacant space in the market with a total vacancy rate of 3.7 percent, lower than most other L.A. submarkets.
INCO's Shea says that while "Demand for purchase is high," demand to lease is low. "That's largely a reflection of over-priced leases," he asserts.
Certain areas and centers in Long Beach are seeing more demand for retail space than others. "That's really a function of household income," Russell says. Areas with higher household income, like Belmont Shore and East Long Beach, are seeing more demand and lower vacancy for retail space. "Central Long Beach and perhaps some of North Long Beach struggle," he says.
One area that has seen significant improvement in retail occupancy and demand is Bixby Knolls. "I am a big fan of Blair Cohn," Russell says, explaining he attributes the revival of retail in Bixby Knolls to efforts by the Bixby Knolls Business Improvement Association (BKBIA), of which Cohn is the executive director. He says efforts by Cohn and BKBIA have greatly revived the Bixby Knolls and California Heights areas to the point where "there is very little to lease."
Both Russell and Shea have seen increased demand from restaurants. Shea remarks, "The most phone calls I am receiving right now are from restaurants coming and going." Belmont Shore, for example, has added two restaurants along 2nd Street since February. Construction is currently underway at 2nd and Corona on a Baja Fish Tacos at the previous location of Sweet Jill's (which relocated elsewhere on 2nd).
Shea predicts that "we are still going to see a lot of the same . . . a lot of restaurants wanting to come into the region and flat-lining on leasing for other types of retail."
Shea's prediction gains traction when looking at the breakdown of job gains in the greater L.A. area from February to March. The EDD report for the L.A.-Long Beach-Glendale area notes losses of jobs in retail and wholesale trade. CBRE's retail report says retail sales in the discretionary categories such as electronics, sporting goods, furniture stores and department stores, all decreased in February in the greater L.A. market. However, the EDD reports leisure and hospitality, in which food services are categorized, experienced increased job growth from February to March.

At 2230, the GILMORE's SG radar picks up a surfaced submarine at 8,000 yards. At 4,000 yards, the "pip" disappears and contact is broken. The GILMORE soon acquires a sound contact at 2, 600 yards. In the next hour, Jenckes lays down three separate barrages of Mark 10 "hedgehogs", each of twenty-four projector charges, but without result. 26 April 1944:
At 0027, the GILMORE drops a pattern of 13 depth charges, but again without result. At 0107, Jenckes drops another pattern of 13 depth charges. At 0112, the GILMORE's efforts are rewarded by a heavy underwater explosion that rocks the destroyer escort. The submarine - probably the I-180 - sinks at 55-10N, 155-40W. 20 May 1944:
Presumed lost with all hands in the Kodiak area. 10 July 1944:
Removed from the Navy List.
