TechnoVax Receives $2.9 Million Grant for Flu and Influenza Virus-Like Particle (VLP) Vaccine Program
TechnoVax, Inc., a biotechnology developer of novel vaccines was awarded a three-year $2.9 million SBIR phase II grant from the National Institutes of Health to further the development of its VLP-based, vaccine program. "This award and recognition from the NIH emphasizes the importance of the VLP technology and this support will allow us to complete preclinical development and move into clinical testing of our influenza VLP vaccine candidates, including our H1N1 swine flu vaccine," stated Dr. Jose Galarza, CEO of TechnoVax. TechnoVax's Virus-Like Particle (VLP) technology is a novel way to produce vaccines against dangerous viruses because the VLPs contain no infectious material but are highly immunogenic. TechnoVax's VLP vaccine technology uses a cell-based system for production rather than the laborious chicken egg system. This technology can reduce production time, manufacturing steps and costs in a safer and controllable process, while increasing vaccine protection against multiple viruses.

In mid-October 2012, global leaders across private, public and NGO sectors convened in San Francisco to discuss innovations that will be key to growing sustainable urban environments. At the close of the conference, Triple Pundit contributor Heather King interviewed Greg Sebasky, Chairman of Phillips North America, to discuss Phillips own innovation strategies.
TriplePundit: According to Phillips' annual reports, you are investing $645 million a year in green innovation. Help us understand what this investment means, and how it reflects your sustainability innovation strategy?
Greg Sebasky: This is more than a dollar number on paper. Our vision is to make the world healthier and more sustainable through innovation, and everyone at Philips is focused on that same goal. Innovation at Philips isn't contained to an R&D facility; it is happening all around us. Every customer interaction helps contribute insights about needs, desires and aspirations that help us take new innovations and bring them to live in meaningful ways.
For example, clinicians want earlier detection of critical conditions, such as low blood pressure in the ICU. So we're working on predictive algorithms and warning systems that would allow a practitioner to take action before other traditional symptoms appear. Building and city planners want more energy-efficient solutions, so we're developing and enhancing lighting systems to deliver more energy savings while improving design and cosmetics.
Beyond the insight-driven innovations, Philips also turns to strategic partners, such as leading medical institutions, or other best-of-breed approaches to incorporate the into our solution. For example, Philips is now the exclusive distributor of Corindus' CorPath 200 System, the world's first robotic-assisted system for the minimally invasive treatment of obstructed coronary arteries. We are also tapping the public for their ideas on new products and services; in essence, we are testing 'crowdsourcing' as a laboratory for new ideas. We just closed the nominations for The Innovation Open, a contest for the best innovative ideas to help solve our business challenges.
Importantly, our global reach provides a unique opportunity to collaborate and learn from a global network of Philips locations and customers, while giving local markets the autonomy to adapt business to meet individual market needs.
3p: So how exactly are you managing the sustainability innovation process at Phillips?
GS: Phillips has a dedicated corporate venture investing team, the Phillips Healthcare Incubator. Our venture group focuses on breakaway solutions that fulfill unmet needs in areas of strategic interest to Phillips. Healthcare is a high priority focus because in order to have a healthy, sustainable planet, we need to start with healthy individuals and provide access to sustainable social systems like healthcare and education in environmentally responsible ways. In addition, better, more efficient healthcare is central to the economic and social welfare of future populations.
The Incubator's mission is to identify unmet needs of patients and care providers, and transform these unmet needs into successful business ventures.
The key is provide the necessary resources specific to the project. Philips understands that to deliver truly innovative, breakthrough solutions, we need to make new investments. By dedicating those resources through our venture capital model, we can develop game-changing solutions without compromising the customer focus of our existing business and products.
3p: Can you provide any recent examples of breakthrough businesses that you have seeded?
GS: We have several great examples:
1. Philips Digital Pathology Solutions
Despite the advancements in healthcare technology, a significant amount of diagnosis still relies on the human eye and a microscope. Philips wants to enhance pathologists' efficiency and productivity so that we can speed up the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other serious diseases.
In August this year, a major hospital in the Netherlands, Erasmus MC, became the first to adopt our digital pathology system in the laboratory analysis. With our technology, Erasmus MC can very expediently obtain digital images of suspect tissue at very high resolution. This enables medical researchers to view the images efficiently from any location and to gain new insight into diseases.
2. Minicare
On of the great challenges of healthcare around the world relates to our ability to diagnose problems effectively and screen out those that have minor issues that can be addressed at home. To this end, we are investing in point of care diagnostic systems that better enable emergency rooms, clinicians and labs to rule out medical conditions and free medical labs to focus on the more serious diagnostic cases.
3. Home Clinical Monitoring System
We are similarly helping patients and doctors manage their care more personally and cost effectively by developing home monitoring tools. For example, to help cancer patients recover at home while keeping up with their treatments, our home clinical montoring venture looks at better ways for patients and doctors to track their stats and chemotherapy progress.
3p: Aside from health related ventures, what is Phillips doing to materially advance sustainability? The Meeting of the Minds conference was all about sustainable cities. How are you active in that quest?
GS: With urban populations growing each day, the city has become a major strategic space. When you take into consideration that cities account for 70 percent of all energy consumption today, and, as they expand, so will their energy demands. It is easy to see why bringing green innovation to urban environments is a top priority. While we don't take a focus on a particular region, we do see big gains in outdoor lighting and building lighting. We believe the time is right for the public and private sectors to join forces in stimulating innovation and accelerating market penetration.
The advent of LEDs provides a range of opportunities to create new and better lighting experiences and solutions, while at the same time preserving energy and also protecting darkness by avoiding unnecessary spilling of light. Outdoor lighting can improve city branding, pride, tourism, safety/security, social cohesion/feeling of community, and sustainability. Philips LED outdoor lighting solutions provide 40-60 percent in energy efficiency, which means that with controls systems, street lighting does not have to be on or off. The recent study by the Climate Group found that LED lighting could also remove 670 million tons of CO2 gases from the atmosphere.
3p: Interesting. So can you provide an example of work you are doing with specific cities – San Francisco, for instance?
San Francisco is a great example. Philips Color Kinetics worked with Illuminate the Arts (ITA) and acclaimed lighting designer Leo Villareal to fulfill his vision of making the Bay Bridge a one of a kind LED sculpture (expected to debut in 2013). Officials commissioned a study that found that by using energy efficient lighting that is visually appealing, they will enhance their community and bring $100 million in tourist revenue to the city. In addition, Philips lights the exterior on the Stanford Court Marriott, the sign at Davies Symphony Hall, and the building at 400 Castro Street. On the other coast, Boston switched 14,000 street lights from mercury vapor to LED, saving $1.1 million annually in electricity costs and eliminating 5,000 tons of greenhouse gas annually.

I picked out two irises from Schreiner's, and went to place my order only to be told they had a $15 minimum. I can't really complain about that, since I still got four irises for $20. I didn't realize they had a "free iris with any order" offer going, and didn't get the pretty blue $60 iris offered that week, but they threw in a different one anyway.

Very disappointed that despite early order the $35 iris that was the main one I wanted was sold out and substituted with a pink intro. I would have preferred a credit but never received any communication until it was delivered.
On July 30th, 2008, dmcdevitt added the following:
I did receive a reply, so I can return the substitute. I still prefer a credit rather than grower's choice, saving return postage and a trip to the PO. Earlier notice of sellout would also allow more time to find the cultivar elsewhere.

Huge plants, great healthy and good service. Customer service by email takes a few days to respond, but no biggie. Appreciate that they are patient especially with the 5 order changes I made. After receiving my first order of 9 I gave about 3 away as gifts, I was so impressed I placed a third order from the sale catalog while I'm waiting for my 2008 intros to come from my second order. Just a FYI about any iris company, check Dave's garden for real life photos of the irises, sometimes the catalogs colors make an iris look a lot more appealing.

I would never buy an iris from anywhere but Schreiner's (well, maybe if it was a cultivar not available from Shreiner's I might consider it). I ordered from them last summer and received the order the last week of August. I must confess that I didn't plant them until 2 weeks later but they were all healthy and beautiful ( I stored them in cool, dry garage). This year they came up and were bursting with health and bloomed spectacularly. I ordered about 50 rhizomes and had never planted iris before in my life.

The irises I ordered from Schreiner's sale catalog (my first order from them) arrived at the proper planting time, were very well packaged and labeled, looked huge and healthy, and included two bonus iris (one was a $50 iris!). Now they are starting to bloom, and I am ecstatic! Not only are they large, healthy, and gorgeous, but they are even more beautiful than the photos. They dwarf all my other irises. I ordered early, mid-, and late-season irises, so I haven't seen all of them in flower yet, but I have total confidence that the rest will be as magnificent as the first four. I will be ordering some irises for my mom, an iris lover, as well as myself. I love Schreiner's!

Highly recommend visiting Schreiners. Have ordered twice from Schreiners, in 2005 and last year. in 2005, ordered very last minute at end of season, and got decent plants that have done well for me. But when I realized I was ordering more and more of their intros elsewhere, I scheduled a visit. WOW - their bloom festival is something else, and their display gardens are to die for, with lots of ideas for companion plantings. Got much info on culture, too. Wonderfully kind, genuinely want you to love their plants. So I gave them another try, ordering earlier in the season.

They also gave me three really nice bonus iris, and sent a snail-mail shipping notice / confirmation, which I really appreciate. Schreiner's is easily the best place I know of to buy bearded iris, and their catalog is beautifully done (worth seeing just for the amazing variety and beautiful photos!).

I am a first time purchaser from Schreiner's. I did a small order (less than $50) of their summer sale irises because I was already over budget for bulbs for this fall, but was beguiled by the photos on their website. I was very impressed with the size and condition of the rhizomes. They were clearly labeled and well packed and arrived quickly. Unfortunately, my 60 lb puppy removed nearly all the labels and flung them around a bit. Not to worry. Since they were so robust, once I had them in a canine-proof environment, they rerooted solidly and are now sending up some greenery and appear none the worse for wear. Only problem - I will have to wait until bloom to find out who ended up where!

Glorious pictures of their Iris, each 2" to 4", except a couple of pages of thumbnail sized pictures of the dwarf, Sib's & La. Their sale (buy 80.00 worth and pay only 40.00 with bonus etc) on most of their Iris is still going on according to the catalog, so I am tempted to order more now, as I was so pleased with my first shipment. I will keep this catalog, it is too nice for the circular file. Patti

While I don't order every year from Schreiner's I do most years. I've never had a bad experience and am very satisfied with their products. I just recently ordered six iris from their Summer Sale special. They arrived promptly, well packaged, healthy and well marked, and I didn't receive any that were skimpy in size like some "sale" iris you may receive elsewhere. Sent a valuable gift iris too. They are all putting up very healthy increase after just being planted a few weeks ago. On the few occasions I chose to call them to inquire about something they were very courteous and helpful. I have visited their operation and it's incredible. They really love what they do there and are dedicated to quality in all aspects of their business. I will continue to be a Schreiner's customer as long as they are there...

The people taking my order were very helpful and polite. I received a confirmation post card of my order.

Once again after a great experience last year I placed another order this year. Once again a great experience. Big beautiful rhizomes arrived with good root systems and right on time. The people I talked to were very helpful and answered several questions I had regarding care and disease ontrol. Once in the ground they have taken off and have put up new growth already which indicates roots are taking hold. Quality, good service results in beautiful iris this coming spring. Again I recommend them to you to buy and enjoy.

I ordered from Schreiner's earlier in the spring. I live in a hotter climate, so I asked them to ship the iris at the tail end of their shipping season, so as not to stress the rhizomes with the hot summer here. After they settle in, the iris will handle the heat a lot better. Schreiner's accomodated my request perfectly. Also, if you order a certain amount, you get to choose a bonus iris. I ordered 9 iris and got a bonus 10th iris that I got to choose. I was thrilled with this great deal, but when my package arrived, there were 11 rhizomes! They gave me an extra bonus, which was such a great surprise! I'd also like to mention that all 11 rhizomes are very large and healthy! I will definately order from Schreiner's again.

She told me that the cutoff was on Sept. 6th, and when I informed her that the website had a Sept 8th cutoff, it took me awhile to post the order, and it was my first time...etc, she said that the date was being "corrected" as we spoke! I could have the iris order, but no guarantee! But when she saw that I had an order amount for $107, she consulted someone else, and said that they would honor the order. I told her that I intended to pot up a couple of iris, she got rude again and told me point blank that I could not do that! I am a novice, I will admit, but on their webpage there is a large section on potting up iris, and informed her of that. I told her that I would think things over.
On June 2nd, 2008, myresortonahill added the following:
I am so glad that I ordered from a different company. My iris are so beautiful, years and still growing strong and beautiful INCLUDING THE ONES THAT I GREW IN POTS and later planted out the following season. Schreiner's Iris Gardens never contacted me and never apologized for their poor customer service. I guess in these days of cash being a little less fluid, it doesn't matter that they lost a customer. I have the most beautiful bearded iris from Nola's Iris Gardens and Nicholls Gardens.

Suturing lacerations is one of the fun little procedures that every PA learns in PA school. Last week we learned the basics, and it was a great time. We had been looking forward to our basic suturing workshop for months, and when it arrived, we went to town with it.
To practice the techniques we had read about, our program set us up with pig feet. They were huge! Much more like pig legs than feet, which gave us plenty of skin to lacerate and repair. Right off the bat, you notice that suturing is more difficult than it looks!
There's plenty you take for granted when you see suturing on TV or (if you're unlucky) in the real ER:
- There is a correct way to hold everything. Scalpels are held overhand with the index on top of the blade (not like a pen/pencil). Needle drivers are held something like scissors, but between the thumb and ring finger(as opposed to the thumb and middle like when you use regular scissors). You put as little of your digits through the holes as possible. Holding things properly, we learned, gives you more control.
Suturing needles, which are shaped like a parenthesis—–> ) <—– have a sharpened cutting edge, usually on the inside of the curve. This means that to pierce skin with them, rather than forcing or pushing them, you have to rotate your wrist, almost as if you were tightening a screw. It's a motion that once learned, makes the process much easier.
- Tying sutures can be done a million different ways, depending on the application, the type of tissue you're joining, and the type of suture (thread) you are using. The basic stitches feel strange at first, but soon muscle memory kicks in and you sort of do them automatically. Loop – loop – grab – pull – snug. Loop – grab – pull – snug. It's kind of like meditating actually (or knitting,from what I hear).
- The hardest part is lining up the two sides of the wound to be sutured, which is called approximating them. If you don't line them up right, they pucker or just turn out funny, leading to a more prominent scar.
- Sometimes you have to free the skin from the underlying tissue. This is done so that you can stitch only the part you want held together. It's done by pulling/tearing the connective under the skin by inserting the needle driver or hemostat and opening it up, which pulls the tissue away. This is called undermining the connective tissue, and it's less damaging to blood vessels and fascia than cutting them away with a scalpel (which you're never supposed to do).
I sutured about 5 cuts, and in just a few hours I had a much greater appreciation for surgeons, who practically do it in their sleep.
Can you really learn to suture in a day? Hell no. But you can learn the basics. Most students then buy their own suturing kit and practice in their free time with meat or a banana.

a fact not lost on the 16-year-old.
"I haven't felt like that in a very, very long time," he admitted. "I mean, that brought memories of the U-17 (U.S. national team). It was such a great feeling. It motivates you, it makes you want to get the ball and make something happen. I was able to do that, but unfortunately for our team, we weren't able to get a lot out of it."
Adu was quick to defer to his injured captain, noting that he had gotten a glimpse of the strenuous demands typically placed on Moreno as the team's main offensive playmaker.
"You expend a lot of energy playing that role," said Adu. "When you get the ball, there's a lot more attention on you. When Jaime's in the game, he takes most of the attention and you're able to run off him and have a little bit of a free role."
The teen phenom clearly relishes that creative role, but he has recognized the value that head coach Peter Nowak places on the veteran leadership of Moreno and attacking midfielder Christian Gomez, United's other main playmaker.
"I love that position, I'm not going to lie," he said after his 90-minute effort up top. "(But) when Jaime's on the field, Jaime's our captain. He has the most experience and he really knows what he's doing out there. I'm sure if Peter has to choose between me and Jaime, Jaime's going to get that role. But you do whatever you've got to do to help the team."
While reports of tension between Adu and Moreno seem to be overblown, the teenager's continued development can only improve the constant competition for playing time that Nowak craves. And it can only create more tactical headaches for the San Jose Earthquakes coaching staff as they prepare for their visit to RFK on Friday.

Turkey hopeful in obtaining IMF loans
Kemal Dervis, Turkey's Economy Minister, is confident the International Monetary Fund (IMF) would provide the country with additional loans to fight the severe financial crisis Turkey has been experiencing since February, according to AFP news agency.
The IMF and the World Bank cancelled meetings with Turkish officials last week, in which loans totaling $3.2 billion were to be discussed, due to the insufficient efforts made on the part of the Turkish government to implement economic reforms.
In May, Turkey signed a reform program with the IMF, which included a 40 percent devaluation of the Turkish currency against the US dollar, in addition to the privatization of state-owned enterprises such as Turk Telekom. However, the IMF has critisized Ecevit for not appointing a new management for the telecom company that is entirely free of political affiliations.
Ecevit claims however, that the IMF's criticism is "unjustified" as Turkey has so far adopted all the legislation and reforms that have been agreed by the two sides. He added that the cancellation of the meetings severely harmed investors confidence, both locally and internationally. The decision to cancel the promised loans has led to a 9.1 percent drop in the Istanbul stock exchange on Friday, July 6, whereas the Turkish lira is further depreciating.
In his trip to Washington last week, Dervis tried to convince international donors that Turkey was committed to economic reforms yet is in dire need of additional funds. — (MENA Report)

Illustration by Kathryn HyattI was willing to look past Donald Bren's penis until it was suddenly staring me in the face: six, eight, maybe 10 feet high, thrusting into the sky, rock-hard, tanned, encircled by portals feeding the pool below. People sat around it, this obelisk-as-fountain that might resemble a fun-size Washington Monument to some, but to anyone reading the papers lately is evocative of a monument a man erects to himself to celebrate the manliness of making babies into his 60s, placing it at the entrance to his most celebrated creation—the Irvine Spectrum Center—for good measure, so people can not only see it and touch it, but view it from above.
I'd come to the Spectrum to get to know Bren, chairman of the Irvine Co. and, until recently—two weeks ago, actually—known only as the richest and most powerful man in Orange County. But life is funny and not ha-ha funny. Bren, benefactor of the political right, intimate of the current president of the United States, spent his life building things—including a reputation as a visionary, if the local business press is to be believed. He was doing a pretty good job of it, too, until one day, May 13 to be exact, a woman named Jennifer McKay Gold filed a lawsuit alleging that Bren fathered her two children, now ages 15 and 11—which he has acknowledged—and had not taken care of them financially as he promised—which he denies. What's more, and worse, both sides seem to agree that Bren has not been a part of the children's lives, has not had contact with them for at least 10 years, which is a long time for an 11-year-old kid.
It's the kind of revelation that would be painfully embarrassing to anyone, but especially the wary Bren, who's almost as well-known for his shyness as for his wealth; so well-known, in fact, that one suspects it's only urban legend that his retainers clear whole corridors of his Newport Beach office to spare the boss the obscene burden of actual eye contact. Some have compared him in that regard to Howard Hughes, and Bren's eyes do have the same dark, flat quality that distinguished the late Mr. Crazy. Chapman University president James Doti once said that Bren was "not a real talkative guy, but he listens very well." Which is what you say when there are extended silences with a billionaire and you're a university president always looking to add a building—especially if you're a university president whose well-suited butt is currently ensconced in the Donald Bren Distinguished Chair of Business and Economics.
So talking directly with Bren was not going to happen for me. I decided I would go to the Spectrum to find clues for the disconnect between the man who's contributed so much money to Republican candidates who rage against promiscuity but who has, with two women, fathered a total of three children out of wedlock, two of them now age 11. I came to bask in the duplicity of the man who has in every sense but financial abandoned at least two of his children but was in the inner sanctum of the George W. Bush campaign, where the main domestic plank was called "No Child Left Behind."
In the same way one peers into the cruel psyche of Picasso by viewing his paintings or finds clues into Wilde's secret life upon reading Dorian Gray, I looked for signs about Bren in the things he'd built. It would be too easy to judge him by the sordid details of recent revelations(1) and assume that he is an irresponsible man who doesn't care for children. Perhaps there could be a larger purpose found here, in his work.
He's long thought of what he does as art. In a recent OC Metro piece—a nearly 9,000-word tome only slightly less fawning toward its subject than the gospels are toward theirs—he talked about visiting the Old World to learn and "translate some of that architecture and planning and bring it forward," more than hinting that he sees himself as a Renaissance artisan at least. Irvine Co. missives have been known to refer to Orange County as the canvas on which the master works. Indeed, Bren hired Garrett White, then head of publications for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, to produce and edit a book of more than 300 photographs called Irvine Ranch: Different by Design, Images 1960-2000. Then he hired Gardner Lithograph of Buena Park, one of the country's premier printers of art and photography books, to print it. The result is not so much about Orange County as Bren, and that is what he asks us to judge him by. Fair enough(2). I wouldn't judge him—I wouldn't assume, for instance, that he doesn't like children simply because of his apparent mistreatment of two of his own. I would let his life's work speak for him.
I rode the Ferris wheel.
* * *
The Ferris wheel is blue. A beautiful, understated, lapis kind of blue. Like something you see in a model kitchen. The wheel is located right at one of the main entrances and from it you can look down on the obelisk fountain and the rest of the Spectrum Center—the paste jewel of the Irvine Spectrum—that bears the Moorish touches and qualities of his travels to the Alhambra in Spain—including, with this Ferris wheel, the name of a Spanish city bestowed upon each car—Barcelona, Cordoba, etc. It's a clean machine, exceedingly clean and tasteful and about as inviting to play, merriment and wild, screaming, messy kids as a model kitchen. It is very big and when you're at the top you can look out over most of Irvine, where the parks Bren has built are equally pristine and equally unlikely as locations of rough and tumble play. Rather than playcenters, they seem more like huge, well-manicured lawns, perfectly kept, the kind some old man was always telling you to keep off(3). It's the kind of place that encourages the kind of play you see a lot of now: subdued, organized; the kind of play that reflects well on the parents.
It's a big wheel, and from the top you not only see the swirls and minarets of the mall, but if you look south you can see the dry grass of Quail Hill, one of the open tracts of land that Bren has set aside not to be developed. Bren gets much props for doing this with more than 53,000 acres that he owns at the Irvine Ranch, and it seems every year some environmental group wants to give him an award. Of course, much of the land is unsalable land, some of it absolute, breakneck, sheer cliff that he donates to the county for tax breaks. The land that couldbe used by, say, a family with kids, he fences off like Quail Hill, which is bordered by Strawberry Farms Golf Club and rapid building on all other sides—Quail Meadows, with homes and apartments, is going up right now. No one is allowed on Quail Hill. What would they do, have a picnic? Run around? Laugh? And anyone who so much as breaches the fence is astonished to find a guard materialize like a space alien and tell them, Grapes of Wrath-like, to move on.
Given those circumstances, a lot of kids beat it to the Spectrum Center. You can see them, too, from the top of the Ferris wheel. There they are, sitting in their parents' cars on the San Diego Freeway, which runs in front of the mall, sullenly waiting to be off-loaded, these teens and tweens in search of something to do, who will then sullenly stalk and then sullenly wait to be loaded up again. To find them we must get off the wheel and head into the heart of the Spectrum. We do this by any of a number of ever-narrowing passages lined with stores selling $185 toddler suede jumpsuits and $320—on sale—Jerry West vintage jerseys.
When this place was built, Rick Evans, then the Irvine Co.'s retail division chief, said the mall would "defy all the rules." Exactly what rules they defy is unclear, because the Spectrum Center looks like any other outdoor mall with a Wetzel's Pretzels and a Jamba Juice. Perhaps he was referring to the Spectrum Center's defiance of the rule that a retail mall is intended as a destination for family entertainment. I heard a passerby explain to a friend that this was "less of a shopping center and more of a place to do things." But from the looks of things, the only thing you can do is buy stuff. Yes, there's a movie theater, but, hey, the Westminster Mall has a movie theater. There's a comedy club—no kids. There's a country music club—what self-respecting family would send their child into that(4). Most everything else is just a means for moving merchandise, and high-end Oakley sunglass-type merchandise at that.
The narrowness of the passages inhibits the flow of people, and you're less likely to linger with someone at your back. This seems to take the life right out of the teens, who have few places to hang. They do their best to gather and look tough smoking their clove cigarettes outside of Brookstone, but they look out of place, desperately seeking something to rebel against, somehow anesthetized to the fact that it—the something to rebel against—envelopes them at the moment.
Bren's mentor Ray Watson may have showed him how to turn that trick. He designed the Woodbridge section of Irvine and put in two lakes, lakes that might invite reveling and carrying on and kids getting wet and all manner of chaos. So he gave the lakes a strange blue-green tint, like the sheen one would see cast from an alien spacecraft. Who would jump into that? The lakes look like the Dead Sea. Even the most optimistic Huck Finn who walks to their edges to fish—what could live in that?—is soon approached by security and asked for some ID(5).
If you walk long enough, the passageways eventually open onto a large court that stands in front of the kajillion-screen movie theater, but don't look for any open space here. The square is jammed with the same kind of merchants' carts that dot the passageways, many of them manned by young people who sit avoiding glances as their carts announce, "Yes! We have Nukkles!"(6) The carts sell cell phones, temporary tattoos and toy cars and are arranged in such random clutter that it looks like a cross between Jesus meeting the money changers and that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where Indy is confronted by an entire square of people toting dirty laundry. Perhaps the rules are a good thing.
From here, there are more passageways that wind in such a way that you cannot immediately see the food court that lies at the end. Stashed in the corner behind the food court, where people gnaw on hamburger and teriyaki-chicken combos, is a small space for the younger set with yet another fountain. This one is of pulsing water that spurts forth in spasmodic bursts much in the manner of, well, you know. The kids love it and run around to be showered unseen by the rest of the mall's patrons, hidden, not seen and not heard. Those are Bren's rules.

And that's pretty much the Spectrum Center. It's not a particularly large place. There is an entrance that bears a swirling message that begins: "Legend tells of a powerful wizard who placed this great palace under a spell protecting it from all manners of harm and disaster." If it is to be assumed that Bren is that wizard, what manner of harm and disaster is he protecting people from? Unruly kids? Noisy kids? Kids who do as they want? Kids who won't go away?
Who knows. Maybe all it tells us is that it may not be the greatest thing to have a billionaire for a dad . . . or building and running your county. Apparently it doesn't do much for the billionaire either. Life's funny that way. Ha ha.
* * *
1)2)3)4)5)6) I have no idea. The kid, if he lives in Bren's Woodbridge, will have it. Yes, there is the Dave & Buster's uber-arcade, but I once tried to bring my 8-year-old there in the evening and was told to take a powder by the guy at the door. Apparently, after dark, the Skee-Ball gets a little bluuuue. Donald Bren is 71. "Not fair at all," I hear some of you say, "what Donald Bren has done in his private life has nothing to do with the good he does for the public." This is like the cry regarding Bill Bennett, the virtues magnate recently exposed for losing $8 million gambling: "It's nobody's business!" This is convenient, of course. Conservatives—always eager to tell you how to live, who to have sex with and how—morph into libertarians when their gambling habits (Bennett), naked photos (Laura Schlessinger), extramarital affairs (Newt Gingrich) or three neglected children (Bren) come to light. They can't make the argument stick, of course, because it is this same bunch, funded by Bren to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, that argued most vociferously that a man's private life informs his public actions. The same bunch that spent millions in an attempt to remove a popular president because he received oral sex. And please, don't embarrass both of us by arguing that Donald Bren is not a public person. If you live in Orange County, he plays a bigger part in your life than any politician. You pay him rent or association fees or you vote for the candidates he deems useful. Which is more than the Republicans whom Bren bankrolls were willing to do for Bill Clinton. It didn't matter how well Clinton did his job—remember the days of low crime, a boom economy and a little something called "peace"? All that mattered was his penis. Now, given the revelations about Bren's conduct, isn't it at least sadly laudable that Clinton had enough responsibility to keep his sex acts to those of a nonreproductive nature?

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Big guys who bully. The NFL is investigating whether rookies are being threatened. It all comes after a Miami Dolphins player walked off the team, saying hazing had taken an ugly turn.
Kai Jackson reports.
Jonathan Martin, 24, graduated from Stanford University before becoming a tackle on the Miami Dolphins.
"On the field, players have called me overly aggressive," said Dolphin guard Richie Incognito.
That aggressiveness may have been both on and off the field. Incognito has been suspended for allegedly threatening Martin and his family using racial slurs.
Martin left the team last week after a lunchroom prank that was apparently the last straw.
CBS Sports analyst Jason LaConfora says he has seen text messages Incognito sent to Martin.
"Threats of `I'm gonna get your mother. I'm going to find your mother. I'm going to kill you.' That is above and beyond what is accepted anywhere," LaConfora said.
Now the NFL will conduct a workplace review.
"If the review shows that this is not a safe atmosphere, I will take whatever measures are necessary to ensure that it is," said Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin.
Incognito's record has not gone unnoticed. In his four years, he led the league penalties for unnecessary roughness. NFL players voted him the league's dirtiest player in 2009.
As the HBO Hard Knocks video shows, hazing seems part of the rite of passage for NFL rookies, and Dolphins players said they didn't notice any locker room hostility.
"I don't feel like anybody was being bullied, hazed, none of that. I feel like we were doing things that football teams do, playing with your brothers," said Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace.
Incognito Tweeted Sunday, "Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth."
Incognito joined the Dolphins in 2009 after being let go by the St. Louis Rams following a verbal altercation with the head coach.
So far, Jonathan Martin has not publicly commented on what happened to him.

Liberty Ross praised Kristen Stewart & her marriage before finding out about the affair
The British model moved to LA to be with her filmmaker husband shortly after their marriage 10 years ago and a couple of weeks before his affair with Kristen kicked off, Liberty confessed to a US magazine that she'd struggled to find happiness with him across the pond at first however after many years finally felt like she'd achieved it - and had made a go of her marriage.
"I think that having been a model and so self-sufficient for those years, I was very ready to get married and have babies" she said. "I romanticised domesticity for a while, and loved having a shopping list of groceries stuck to the fridge for the first time.
"But moving here (to LA) and starting a life all over again was a lot harder than I had anticipated. I just didn't think it would be as isolating and daunting as it turned out to be. I can honestly say that it took me five years to feel happy here. I would never say out loud that I am raising my children alone, but a lot of the time it has felt like that."
The former model, who has two children with Rupert, added:
"But that's why everything feels so amazing now. We rode through the really hard times and we stuck it out..."
Urgh, now if that didn't make you feel depressed then listen to what Libs had to say about Kristen during a promotional interview for Snow White and The Huntsman, in which she plays the actress' mother. When asked what it was like to work with her she said:
"So amazing, it was literally a dream. I couldn't really believe it was happening.
She also added:
"Kristen was my number one choice. I think there is no better Snow White in my opinion. She is great."
Well, Kristen certainly turned out to be one Snow White who's less than white and is surely now only Liberty's number one choice to slap around the face.

This is rare footage of Kanye West and his mom Donda, back in 2003 having a normal conversation. This was before The College Dropout days, before he was making the money he's making now. Donda spits a few bars from one of Kanye's songs, they both start rapping together and she asks him what ever happened to the her favorite track. Amazing how things can change in one decade. Hit the jump to watch this hidden jewel.

Career and job-search news, trends, and scoops for job-seekers, compiled by the staff of Quintessential Careers.
|June 27, 2008
The latest jobless claims report, which continues to vividly display the weak job market, barely mentioned in many media outlets.
Perhaps like many other subjects that get a lot of coverage over an extended period of time, the media are tiring of reporting the bad labor news.
The news, from the U.S. Department of Labor, was that initial jobless claims last week held steady from the previous week — at 384,000. The more widely examined number, the four-week average of first-time claims, was at 378,250 — the highest level since October 2005.
Most experts note that whenever the jobless claims number is above 350,000 that it is a sign of a very weak job market — something we all probably know.
We also seem to be back to the almost daily reports of companies announcing layoffs and job cuts.
If you do become downsized (or rightsized or just plain fired), please read our article, Getting Fired: An Opportunity for Change and Growth.
If you're still working, protect yourself by showing your commitment to your employer and doing all you can to protect your job. Read more in our article, Seven Strategies to Recession-Proof Your Career: Build Your Future Regardless of Health of the Economy.

More and more workers near or after retirement are working in encore careers.
A new study released this week found that some 8.4 million Americans have moved onto encore careers — careers that combine flexibility, income, personal satisfaction, and social impact.
Of those surveyed in the 2008 MetLife Foundation/Civic Ventures Encore Career Survey who were not in encore careers, about half said they were interested in a second career — especially in education, healthcare, and non-profits.
Interestingly, the current Fortune Magazine (6/23/08) also has a story about encore careers, profiling seven baby boomers who have moved from corporate 9-to-5 jobs onto second careers.
We also have books in our Job and Career Books for Mature Workers that discuss encore careers and the search for meaning beyond retirement.

Some employers try a four-day work week or telecommuting to help ease commuting costs of workers.
With gas prices now above $4 a gallon nationally, more employers are considering alternatives to help ease the economic crunch facing workers — at least the gas cost crunch (since they can't really do anything about the housing crisis or rising food prices).
One option some employers are implementing is a switch to a four-day, 10-hour work week, making each work day a bit longer, but allowing workers to save money at the pump — with the added bonus of gaining three-day weekends.
Another option employers are considering and/or implementing to help workers — one that has been around for quite some time — is telecommuting for at least one day a week. With advances in broadband availability, videoconferencing, and instant messaging, more employers are revisiting this tool for worker flexibility.
The Telework Coalition estimates that about one in five workers now telecommute at least some days of the work week — about 26 million workers.
Need a little help talking to your boss to make the case for telecommuting? Read our article, Making Your Case for Telecommuting: How to Convince the Boss.

The summer job season combined with sluggish economy should provide strong motivation for job-seekers to update resume.
While job-seekers may resist crafting a new resume because they suspect employers aren't hiring during the summer — especially in a recession — those are exactly the reasons workers need to keep their resumes polished and up to date.
The summer is the perfect time to fine-tune your resumes and lay the groundwork for future hiring. It is also an excellent time to seek a new job as competition is minimal because many job-seekers assume that hiring decisions will be postponed until fall. Plus, current economic conditions dictate that workers be ready with effective resumes in case of unexpected layoffs.
To help you get your resume up to speed, Quintessential Careers has just added 100 new resume and cover-letter samples covering a wide range of occupations and professions, for job-seekers from new college grads to senior executives — and all, as always on Quintessential Careers, are free.
The new resume and cover-letter additions include samples in these categories:

U.S. unemployment rate jumps much higher than expected as employers cut almost 50,000 jobs in May, exposing the weakness in the economy and job market.
The Labor Department announced today that the unemployment rate jumped from 5.0 percent in April to 5.5 percent in May — much higher than expected and the biggest one-month rise in 22 years… since 1986. At 5.5 percent, unemployment is highest it has been since October 2004. A year ago, the unemployment rate was a full percentage lower at 4.5 percent.
Put into human terms, the number of unemployed people grew by 861,000 in May — rising to 8.5 million unemployed adults.
There was a net loss of 49,000 jobs in the economy in May. With May's job losses, employers have now cut jobs for five straight months.
While airlines have been in the news this week for announcing cutbacks and layoffs, the biggest losses in May have been the same as in the past few months… 34,000 construction jobs were lost, 26,000 jobs were cut in manufacturing, and 39,000 jobs were lost in business and professional services.
In good job news, there were job gains in education and healthcare, government, and leisure and hospitality.
While the media and economists continue to debate whether we are in a recession and whether recession-proofing your job is a cliche, more and more Americans are feeling the economic crunch — either in job losses or in higher food and energy prices and concerns about living the American Dream.
If you have not already done so, read this article on Quintessential Careers: Seven Strategies to Recession-Proof Your Career: Build Your Future Regardless of Health of the Economy.

More workers keep in touch with their employer while on vacation.
A quarter of all respondents to an online survey said that they will keep in touch with their employer while on vacation this year — up from 20 percent last year.
Other interesting tidbits from the survey:
The annual CareerBuilder.com survey, conducted by Harris Interactive, polled nearly 7,000 workers.

Need advise.run speaker wire or Oem
I own a 2000 ford focus.I have a 4 channel amp that i want to wire to the door speakers.Running speaker wire can be a challenge due to the fact that the vehicle has hard connectors and not gromits..so an old pal suggested running speaker wire to the oem connectors.will i sacrifice quality doing this.he also suggested to use capacitors instead of crossovers..can anyone help or suggest any wiring diagrams???
I have an 04 civic. I put Infinity Kappas, (old skool 4ohm) 6.5s in the front doors and I'm running after market wire from a Soundstream reference to the wire harness adapter behind the Alpine Head Unit. I've got it crossed-over at 120 Hz so not too much low end gets to them. Its a rock concert! So if you want to spend the time to rewire your doors, I don't know if you will hear much difference.

The BalPure BP-1000 ballast water treatment (BWT) system from Severn Trent De Nora, LLC has been selected for use in the first validation tests of the Environmental Technology Verification protocols for BWT systems. The U.S. Coast Guard, through the Naval Research Labs, and the U.S. EPA have collaboratively developed draft protocols for verifying performance of BWT systems as part of the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program. The ETV Program is intended to facilitate the development of effective environmental technologies through credible and transparent independent tests of performance claims.
The patent-pending BalPure system generates biocides, meters and analyzes the residual level of both biocides and neutralizing agents and logs the performance of the overall BWT system. With international, national, state and local environmental agencies worldwide taking action to regulate the discharge of ballast water arriving in ships coming from overseas ports, the BalPure system has shown to be an effective, economical and high-capacity device to treat this water with no adverse effects on the environment.
The pilot validation test will be conducted at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory test facility in Key West, Fla. Once completed, the results and recommendations from the pilot test will be provided to the ETV Technical Panel for consideration as the test protocols are finalized. The Coast Guard is using the ETV Program's ballast water technology efforts to inform the development of procedures to be used in approving ballast water treatment systems for use on vessels.

I was in the Big Sur area spending some time taking pictures of McWay Falls at sunset with several other people when I looked over to the right and saw this view. I really liked how the tree framed the sun. I took a few quick shots and went back to recording the falls. I'm not sure that anyone else noticed the view!
