The Consumer Expenditure surveys are sponsored by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and are used to update the Consumer Price Index. The surveys include a Diary or Quarterly Interview component. Addresses in the Quarterly Interview sample are interviewed five times over fifteen months, with an average workload of 330 cases each month. The Diary workload tracks daily expenses for two weeks, with an average workload of 65 cases.
The Census Bureau collects information on the buying habits of American consumers from two separate studies within the Consumer Expenditure Survey: the Quarterly Interview Survey and the Diary Survey. The Quarterly Interview Survey collects data on certain types of expenditures which respondents can recall fairly accurately for periods of 3 months or longer. The Diary Survey collects information on the small, frequently-purchased items that we cannot expect respondents to recall for even relatively short periods of time. These surveys are conducted by the Census Bureau for the sponsoring agency, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The primary use of the data collected in the CE survey is to revise the Consumer Price Index (CPI). In addition, many academic scholars use the CE data for market research, economic analysis, and other studies. Federal and state legislators use the CE data as an aid in planning public assistance programs.

CAA Has 11 Chosen In MLB Draft
Three CAA baseball players were selected on Day 2 of the 2012 Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft on Tuesday afternoon and eight more were chosen on Wednesday.
George Mason pitcher Chris O'Grady was chosen with the 327th overall pick in the 10th round by the Los Angeles Angels, Hofstra outfielder Danny Poma was taken with the 333rd overall pick in the 10th round by the Arizona Diamondbacks and VCU pitcher Blake Hauser was selected with the 401st overall pick in the 13th round by the Seattle Mariners.
O'Grady went 2-0 with a sparkling 1.22 ERA and a CAA-best 14 saves this season. The left-hander, who earned first-team All-CAA honors as a relief pitcher, tied the Patriots' record for saves in a season and the total matched the third-most in league history. O'Grady was a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy and the NCBWA Stopper of the Year.
Poma earned first-team All-America accolades and was honored as the 2012 CAA Player of the Year. He batted a league-best .430 with a school-record 102 hits, a CAA-record 32 doubles and a league-high 78 runs scored. He also added seven home runs, 48 RBI's and 29 stolen bases. Poma currently leads the nation in doubles and runs, ranks second in batting average, third in hits, ninth in total bases (155) and fifth in on base percentage (.500).
After serving as a starting pitcher during his first two seasons at VCU, Hauser took over the closer role in 2012 and was 5-2 with 10 saves and a 3.03 ERA. The second-team All-CAA selection struck out 66 batters in 35.2 innings and limited the opposition to a .136 batting average. Hauser made 30 appearances out of the pen and his 10 saves are tied for the 5th-most in Rams' history.
Eight more CAA players were chosen on Wednesday. VCU pitcher Kyle Haynes was chosen in the 20th round by the Pittsburgh Pirates, Northeastern pitcher Andrew Leenhouts was picked in the 23rd round by San Francisco Giants and UNCW outfielder Andrew Cain was selected in 24th round by the San Francisco Giants.
In the 26th round, the Los Angeles Angels took UNCW pitcher Tyler DeLoach, Mason pitcher Brandon Kuter was tabbed in the 29th round by the Texas Rangers, Northeastern catcher Jon Leroux went in the 32nd round to the New York Mets, William & Mary pitcher Matt Davenport was picked in the 34th round by the Detroit Tigers and James Madison pitcher D.J. Brown was taken in the 39th round by the Cleveland Indians.

Gun control conversation must continue
F or the second week in a row, headlines announcing local drug busts have dominated the front page of this newspaper. Last week, three were arrested on drug charges, prompting lock downs at Canon-McMillan High School and South Central Elementary School. Found in the vehicle were two bricks of heroin, Ecstasy pills and cocaine, with a total street value of $4,000.
On this week's front page is the story of a Canonsburg resident who was arrested at his home on College Street, a mere half block from Canonsburg Middle School, on charges of possession and possession with intent to deliver cocaine, possession of paraphernalia and persons not to possess a firearm. Because of a previous conviction of aggravated assault with a weapon in connection with a 1997 shooting, Joshua Thomas is not permitted to possess firearms. However, this didn't stop him from having a shotgun, .22-caliber rifle, .357-caliber handgun, assault rifle and Ruger and Glock handguns.
It is not currently known how Thomas came to obtain the weapons, but situations like these are exactly why tougher gun control laws are a must in the United States. There is no reason for any civilian to possess an assault rifle. For someone who is not supposed to possess any firearms whatsoever, it is heinous that Thomas had the arsenal that he did. And let us not forget his close proximity to the middle school – children walked by his house every day on their way to and from school.
As we have stated before, we realize that people are going to purchase guns and other weapons on the black market, but that doesn't mean laws and policies should not be put into place. It was extremely disappointing when the Senate voted down the expanded background check gun legislation last month, despite that the majority of U.S. citizens support the measure. At what point does the issue stop being a partisan one? At what point do government officials get out of bed with the NRA? And, at what point do we see clearly what really matters here – the safety of our children, citizens and officers of the law?
Following the arrest of Thomas, Canonsburg Mayor David Rhome said, "Ninety percent of crimes in our community goes back to drugs. If we get rid of the majority of the problem, then the rest goes away."
In this particular case, not only did one more drug dealer get removed from the streets, but a number of illegal weapons did, too. Hopefully, area police continue to make these type of arrests and clean up otherwise beautiful, pleasant communities. And in the process, hopefully the gun control issue does not die.

Price per gross square foot, indemnification clauses, force majeure cancellation policies, the cost of bringing in live animals for medical testing, T1 lines … is there anything in a convention center meetings deal that is not negotiable? Not much, say the medical meeting planners we talked to.
While you may think you have no leverage in negotiating convention center contracts, try on this bit of attitude adjustment: What's negotiable is what's important to you as an organizer. Know your group and what's important to it.
"It never hurts to ask," says Cheryl Nord-stedt, deputy executive director of the American Academy of Dermatology in Schaumburg, Ill. "If an issue is important for your organization, be willing to go to the mat."
Public or Private?
The first question to ask is whether the facility is public or private. Most meeting planners agree that price is rarely negotiable with publicly owned convention centers.
"Many of them have legislative and regulatory boards that get involved with their decisions and interfere with how the client would otherwise negotiate," according to Nordstedt. "Orlando, for example, has no room for negotiating rates because their rates are decided at the beginning of the year."
Private centers, however, have the ability to dicker over everything.
"Las Vegas has two huge convention facilities and a third is being built," says Peter Nathan, president of PWN Exhibicon International in Westport, Conn. "It has a city-owned center. It has The Sands, which is private. And now Mandalay Bay is building a privately owned center. Negotiating strength depends on the show. A private center could shave a bit off the square footage or off the meeting room cost. Or it could change a whole array of options."
And even managers of government-controlled convention centers have some wiggle room, if you ask for the right concessions. Prices may be set in stone for exhibit floor space, but many centers will throw in extra meeting rooms at no charge to be competitive. And while each facility has its own idea about how many move-in/move-out days should be free with the convention center rental, getting a an extra comp day or two on either end of the event is rarely beyond negotiation.
"Ours is a six-day conference," says Randy Bauler, exhibits and sponsorships director for the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, Aliso Viejo, Calif., "but only a three-day trade show, so we get three days of move-in/move-out. We need five. I'll say, 'Can you give us two extra days? We're using your catering, telecommunications, and maintenance.'"
Size Matters
The bigger you are, the more events and dates you book, the better the chances of non-negotiable items suddenly becoming negotiable.
"We're in Chicago every year," says Janet Cooper, managing director of convention operations for the Radiological Society of North America in Oak Brook, Ill. RSNA is the biggest medical trade show in the United States. Because that equals clout, "We have negotiated some things with the city of Chicago that encourage us to stay, including a freeze in our rate rental for five years. We've been able to negotiate the minimum space for rental because of repeat business. We've also worked with the city to rebate some hotel nights back to the society."
In Albuquerque, N.M., Cooper negotiated another nifty solution to a space problem. Because there was no single hotel large enough for a meeting it planned there (not its annual conference), the Radiological Society was forced to rent the convention center. In order to pay for it, the hotels in town charged attendees an extra $5 per night, money which was then rebated to pay for the convention center. (Attendees were informed of the arrangement; the extra fee was listed in the hotel reservation brochures.)
But size can also work against you, points out Nathan. "If you have a huge show that can only go into four places in the whole country, that restricts your ability to negotiate. The cities know what's going on. If you're on a cycle because your board of directors wants you on the East Coast one year, the West Coast the next year, you can't hold the event in Greensboro, N.C. Your options and your ability to negotiate are greatly reduced."
Try Thanksgiving
If your event's date is movable, a range of issues becomes more flexible in pricing and negotiating.
"The February through May, and September through November time slots are the ones most in demand," Nathan says. "Negotiations for those times are more difficult. But if you wanted to host a show in New York City between Christmas and New Year's Eve, they would probably kiss your rear end in Times Square."
In other words, you can take the same number of attendees and expand or contract the economic value of the event in the eyes of a convention center and CVB depending on timing. Every year since 1985, RSNA has brought as many as 60,000 people to Chicago immediately after Thanksgiving.
"Our exhibitors start moving in the Monday before Thanksgiving. We worked out an adjustment in labor rates so that any work done on Thanksgiving Day was billed at straight time rates, rather than overtime," Janet Cooper says of her association's annual meeting at McCormick Place. "This is because of the time we hold our meeting, right after Thanksgiving Day. Nobody wants to be in Chicago then, so we get concessions. It's a really down time in the city. They love our being here at that time."
Ask the venue, "When do you need my business?" That's when the real negotiations begin.
"The planner always has the advantage," says Steven Hacker, president of the International Association for Exhibition Management in Dallas, Texas. "The information you need to negotiate is always available; it's almost always public. I don't need to ask the convention center director who's in town during a week I'm interested in. I can look online, check a newspaper. There are all kinds of ways I can do research. I can say, 'I know the building is empty from July 15 to 18 and I can fill it. Are you interested in talking?' The same events come into play with the hotel. If the convention center is empty, likely the hotel is too. And it will be inclined to negotiate concessions."
If you have date flexibility, you can also use the competition to give you an edge, Nathan adds. "If there is a competitive event to your show, the convention center may want to go out of its way to attract you and give you additional help. The event manager can say, 'Their show never comes to New York. I want to come to New York, but I'll need some help.' Remember to be flexible. If you can move around dates and locations, if you can work with different halls in different cities, and if they're anxious to get your show, that gives you flexibility."
Fast Forward
Can you negotiate a better price by booking a facility five to 10 years out?
Not necessarily. Convention center rates are usually set for three to five years out. In addition to that, they won't guarantee. Beyond that time, meeting planners usually negotiate an annual rate increase for each subsequent year. "We will put in the contract that it will increase by only 3 percent a year or by the cost of living," Bauler says.
You might investigate whether deposit due dates are negotiable.
"We try to negotiate those because of the way our dues fall," says Kelly Fox, director of meetings and exhibits for the American Health Information Management Association in Chicago. "Some cities want a deposit five years ahead. Some want a portion three years or two years ahead. If we are in a position to pay it ahead, we want it in an interest-bearing account."
Read the Fine Print
Pat Philips is the director of corporate trade show operations and best corporate practices for VNU Expositions in Chantilly, Va. She books a lot of different events, but many that wind up in the same convention centers over and over again. The National Kitchen and Bath Show and Medtrade, a home healthcare industry show, for example, recently wound up in the same center in successive years. That created leverage.
However, she notes that you have to read the fine print carefully. Sometimes due to dates and other show-related factors, convention centers can charge the same client different exhibit hall rental rates for the same space, she cautions. In the case of the National Kitchen and Bath Show and Medtrade, for example, shows which use the same amount of meetings and exhibition space, "Sometimes convention center managers think they can price one of our shows at $1.55 net per square foot and another one $1.35. So one of our shows could be paying up to twenty cents more net per square foot than one of our other shows if we're not paying attention."
Philips personally reviews all facility contracts at VNU for two reasons. First is to leverage buying power with repeat convention center suppliers. She also insists on standardized language to protect VNU's interests. "There's a lot of research to be done in reviewing a facility's contract. Much of it is in standard language that a facility manager doesn't realize won't apply unless you point it out. If the event manager doesn't realize that to be the case, it can be costly. We try to establish a template for each facility so we don't have to reinvent the wheel every time we go back to the same facility with a different show," Philips says.
There must be liability insurance, of course, but Pat Philips says you can negotiate to cover both the licensor and the licensee. "If there is an act of God, a tornado or earthquake, not only is the facility covered, so is the show," she says. "Cancellation, indemnification, liability, and force majeure should protect both parties. It should be mutual."
With a publicly owned convention center, it will be difficult if not impossible to negotiate an indemnification provision. But the degree to which the trade show must indemnify the convention center is highly negotiable. "You can indemnify someone against their own negligence, but it's something I recommend you not do," says Jed Mandel, MM columnist, and head of the association practice group at the Chicago law firm of Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg. "Provide indemnification, but limit it to something that makes sense. Indemnify your own negligence but not theirs."
Indemnification clauses tend to be one-sided in the building's favor. But most building managers have reciprocal language available that they can substitute to cover both parties.
"Don't assume a form contract is intended to do anything but protect the person who prepared it," Mandel warns. "The big convention centers all have model agreements that they developed over the years."
You may have something special for which the generalized facility contract might prove the exception. Think about a medical show.Without negotiation, a "no vehicles in the convention center" provision would prevent a bloodmobile from being on exhibit.
Issues that could present a security risk and therefore might incur additional costs also need to be negotiated upfront. "Hazardous waste must be negotiated," Fox says. "Or if you're going to bring in live animals for testing purposes, that could become controversial in cities that are strong on animal rights. You have to find out about picketers. That could cause a big commotion."
Be sure to obtain a copy of the center's operating policies. Often these documents contain much more information than the contract because you will find special requirements and fees described in them.
Another potential hidden fee: Many shows are expected to provide guarantees for concession stand sales. Investigate external food and beverage outlets that could affect these guarantees. The Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, for example, is directly across the street from the Reading Terminal Market, one of the finest food outlets anywhere. Once attendees discover it, they scoot over there for breaks or lunch. Other cities have similar attractions that could take away from your attendees' concession expenditures.
Attitude Adjustment
Entering negotiations in a confrontational or adversarial way will not get you what you need: support of the venue.
"Try and be as flexible as you can," advises Fox, "and you'll come out with a better package deal than if you demand everything. Keep it open and friendly. Think of it more as a partnership. You're going to work with these people a lot. Be on the up 'n' up. Don't try to be sly. That doesn't help anybody in the end."
Network Negotiating
Many of the largest convention centers have exclusive telecommunications providers. In those situations, negotiating to bring in your own provider is a dead end.
But that's just the big picture, says Terry Funk, president and CEO of Priority Networks in Boise, Idaho. Priority's main function is providing in-house service for event networking. It is the exclusive provider of such services at San Francisco's Moscone Center.
In this Q & A, Funk explains that when it comes to details such as bringing in your own computers, that issue is far more negotiable than bringing in T1 lines because convention centers don't want outsiders crawling all over the innards of their facility putting in new lines.
Can planners negotiate networking services?
It depends on the building. Some centers have an exclusive producer; others have no such provider.
If they have an exclusive, it's non-negotiable. If not, it is negotiable, and planners can get competitive bids between different providers. More and more, if connectivity is not negotiable, show producers go somewhere else. The network, with B2B and e-commerce, has become a very important part of the event. It used to be that networks were important just at shows such as Comdex and Macworld. Now, connectivity is very important for medical shows.
Is the markup on connectivity negotiable?
Most facilities that have in-house services have a price list and order form to give to anybody off the street. Large show producers can say, "We're going to bring in 400 booths. Here is the number of Internet connections we brought in last year. Can we get a discount on our connections for show production?" Certainly, there is a discount structure for event managers. If they bring in enough off-the-street business, we can give them a good discount, perhaps 10 to 20 percent.
What else is negotiable?
There are some cases where, if a corporate event wants a T1 directly from their offices into the facility, that is negotiable. In the broad picture, from an event manager's standpoint, as long as it's not a very small show, anything is negotiable in a non-exclusive building.
Don't Bother Trying, Unless…
There are elements that simply are not negotiable. Union regulations. Most fire regulations. Structural integrity issues are not negotiable. Then there are facility-specific rules and regulations that are ironclad. One hall requires that anything larger than 400 square feet needs the building engineer's stamp of approval. Or that anything over 12 feet tall must be positioned near a sprinkler system. Insurance regulations are not negotiable.
Exclusives are not negotiable. But their rates can be. If there's a caterer in the building, you're not going to bring in another caterer, but the rate they quote is negotiable. Even better, there are some circumstances in which even a catering exclusive might be negotiable. If you want a kosher dinner, most convention centers do not have kosher kitchens. So you can probably negotiate.

For the past 4 years I have been using a Sigma 15-30mm f/3.5-4.5 DG on both DX and FX bodies to do a little bit of interior and architectural work. It's a large, but surprisingly light lens and it's pretty sharp. However, it has some weaknesses, the biggest of these being that it flares very easily when pointed at a bright light source, even basic window light. In using it for various jobs I have also had to deal with high chromatic aberrations and a very warm, albeit not displeasing colour rendition. With editing software and some HDR trickery I've overcome its limitations and have enjoyed the extreme angle of view 15mm on full frame brings you.
A while back Sigma dropped that lens from their line up and the extreme wide angle zoom they offer now is a 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6II DG HSM model, which believe it or not is not a DX lens, but has been designed for FX (full frame) sized sensors. If I was impressed with the wide-angle view of 15mm, seeing things at 12mm on the newer lens became quite intoxicating. Yes, it's a full frame, extreme wide-angle zoom lens, giving you a 122-degree, vertigo-inducing field of view at the wide end! Madness… and it's a lot of fun to shoot with!
Having a wide-angle lens is one thing. Being able to produce compelling imagery with one is another thing entirely. Most of us the first time we use such lenses tend to shoot them at the widest extreme, trying to get as much in the frame as possible and ending up with a lot of picture, but a picture of nothing in particular. Wide angles like 12mm invariably result in lots of dead space in images, particularly the foreground, or very small subjects off in the distance. When you're shooting something this wide composition and perspective becomes even more important than is usually the case with a normal lens.
Fieldwork with the Sigma 12-24mm
So, what can you do with this lens? Where's it good and where should you be careful when using it?
Unfortunately I haven't had a great deal of architectural work come my way lately, so I haven't been able to put it through any degree of real world testing for that specific purpose. What I have noticed though, in the course of making random images with it, is that the issues with flare I have on the older 15-30mm lens are not an issue with this lens. Barrel distortion at its wide end is surprisingly minimal, but as with any extreme wide angle lens, don't put people near the edges of the frame otherwise you are going to see some funky head shapes.
Last year the guys from the massively popular UK Top Gear motoring show were in my hometown Durban for the first of 3 annual Top Gear Stadium Shows to be held here. For those of you who don't know, Top Gear is probably the most watched motoring television show in the world and if you're into anything that runs on 4 or more wheels with a petrol engine, these guys are hilarious to watch as they go about some rather silly motoring tests. Things as asinine as racing against the Royal Mail postal service from the southernmost point of the UK to its northernmost point being a prime example. Or fighter jets against super cars, etc, etc.
Anyway, I forked over a substantial amount of money for a couple of tickets to the first festival this year and my youngest son and I went off to the Moses Mabidha stadium for a day of typical Top Gear shenanigans, together with my Nikon D700 cameras and the Sigma 12-24mm. Inside the stadium they had laid down a proper asphalt track on the outside of the pitch and we settled in to watch the action. Now, I have been inside the MM stadium on a few occasions and some of you may recall some photos I took of this iconic stadium with its 30 story high arch during the soccer world cup in 2010. It's a fabulous piece of architecture and has become synonymous with the city, hosting not only football, but also concerts and T20 cricket matches. We got seats on the second level of the stadium and I found myself in a perfect spot to take some more extreme wide angle shots of the inside of the stadium. This is what it looks like when you view it through a 12mm lens. Impressive, yes?

I also pointed the lens inside the engine compartments of some really expensive cars and the images in many ways make the car look like a clamshell!
I find the lens to be pretty sharp. Most of the time I am shooting this lens for maximum depth of field, so I tend to have it stopped down to between f/8 and f/13 and I am not disappointed with what I see. I once used to own a Nikon 17-35mm/2.8 AF-S ED and I don't think that lens was a lot sharper than this one. Maybe wide open yes, but at the place where the sharpness is needed you shouldn't be disappointed.

Build Quality & Aesthetics
This is a very well made lens! The built in hood is made of metal and the whole package is indicative of the way Sigma are going about producing their lenses these days - impressively. The zoom ring is smooth to operate as is the manual focus ring.
As with other extremely wide angle zoom lenses you won't be able to put a filter on it as the front element is heavily curved. The lens cap is one of those snug fit types, but it does have a secondary piece in the form of a traditional cap that you can remove and put a screw in filter in its place. The result will be severe vignetting, so I have not seen any reason for its existence. Perhaps some other photographers will.
I have used it exclusively on a D700 and it feels quite at home on there. Nicely balanced. There's no extending of the lens when zooming or focusing, which for me is a pretty big deal. I hate lenses that change size.
The only way I could get a shot of the Mercedes Formula 1 car at full speed with the crowds at Top Gear was to go wide, hold the camera above my head and point in the general direction of the subject. This gives you a great perspective - click to enlarge
Optical Performance
There is surprisingly minimal distortion when shooting this lens at 12mm (see example of interior office shot), but if you're a Lightroom 4 user you need only tick the Enable Profile Corrections for this lens in the Develop module and you'll see the distortion go bye-bye. Same thing for chromatic aberrations. One click and its sayonara.
This is an out of camera, uncorrected shot. You can see the distortion along the ceiling strips - click to enlarge.
Here's what happens after clicking the correction box in Lightroom 4. Click to enlarge.
Most of us will always use this lens at its widest point, but you should consider using it at the 24mm end also. It's good there too.

Value For Money?
The Sigma 12-24mm sells at Amazon.com for $949, so it's not a cheap purchase for most casual photographers. I think it is a fair asking price though, because as far as wide angles go, this one offers a lot. You're getting the ability to zoom from an insanely wide 12mm up to 24mm, so it's not like it's a 1-trick pony ala fisheye lens (which if you're in the Sigma camp will see you spending +$600 for their 15mm option, or for the brand conscious Nikon users $900 for the Nikon 16mm). If you're looking for the fisheye effect from a rectilinear, I am sure there are some plugins or filters you could apply in post to get a similar effect.
DX users should be well pleased with this as a wide angle option and it will prove to be a worthy rival to the Nikon DX-only 12-24mm option, giving you an equivalent 18-36mm field of view on FX - a nice range.
The downside is that it's slow aperture definitely affects the vibrance of the scene in your viewfinder. Things look dim when compared to the Sigma 15-30mm - that lens is literally almost a whole stop faster on the wide end, but nowhere nearly as well built as the 12-24mm. And it's much bigger.
My Overall Conclusion
This is another pretty good lens from Sigma's new range. It's made in Japan and you can feel it when you hold one. The quality is there, despite this not being a designated EX lens. The closest FX competitor it has on the current market is the Nikon 14-24mm/2.8, which costs twice the asking price. I have not used that Nikon lens so I can't make a direct comparison, but I won't hesitate to recommend this lens as an extremely wide option for photographers on a budget. 12mm on full frame is awesomeness!

The shutdown of a 102-year-old California manufacturing company points to a major flaw in California's industrial development policy:
We don't have one.
The company is Pneumatic Scale Angelus, which turned out top-of-the-line machines for sealing lids on soda and beer cans from a factory in Vernon. That was a niche business but not a small one, since bottling companies the world over were Angelus customers.
As we reported just after Christmas, Angelus employees were told on Nov. 2 that its owner, privately held Barry-Wehmiller Cos., would shut down production at the plant Jan. 1 and move it to a factory in Ohio. That meant lost jobs for 111 members of the United Steelworkers in Vernon.
The company appears to have fulfilled its legal obligation to inform city and state officials of its plans; economic development agencies at all three levels of government got notices pursuant to the state WARN Act, which requires notifications of such layoffs 60 days in advance. Another copy went to the office of County Supervisor Gloria Molina, whose district covers Vernon. Her office didn't get back to me to explain how they responded to it, if at all.
All these entities acknowledged receipt of the notices, according to copies of certified mail receipts the company provided to the union. None lifted a finger to try to stop the shutdown.
In fact, most say they weren't aware of the impending plant closing until I asked about it — in late December.
There's no guarantee that any action by government officials would have halted the closing. But we'll never know, because no one seems to have tried. The Angelus case "raises a larger question," says Glen Becerra, president of the Southern California Assn. of Governments: "When is it worth staying in California to do business? I don't see the state or local governments putting an emphasis on job creation."
Los Angeles County economic development officials say that if they had received advance warning of the Angelus decision, they would have swung into action. "I would have arranged a visit for the company with the city manager and the city development director," Barbara Levine, a regional manager at the L.A. County Economic Development Corp., told me. Here's a pointer: No one's going to swing into action if responsible agencies get layoff warnings in the mail and drop them in the trash basket.
In any case, local officials say the statewide economic development arsenal is pretty much bare.
California has no organized tax credit program for companies that pledge to add jobs. Ohio, which will absorb some of the Angelus jobs lost in Vernon, does. California has no equivalent today of the "Red Teams" that swooped in to stem layoffs during Pete Wilson's governorship during the 1990s, when the aerospace crash threatened to hollow out the state's industrial base.
California will roll out the red carpet on occasion. But you have to be very special to get it. The state doles out $100 million a year to Hollywood, ostensibly for film productions that would otherwise shoot elsewhere. But no one has ever established that the program accurately targets at-risk productions or that it produces more in job-related tax revenue than it spends. Much of the money, if not most, has gone to producers who are almost certainly gaming the system.
And while everyone complains about construction delays caused by the anti-pollution California Environmental Quality Act, the Legislature has given relief from CEQA to two specific projects. Both are proposed NFL football stadiums.
If there's a reason to incentivize movie makers to stay in California but not manufacturers of industrial equipment, let's hear what it is. And if CEQA is more of a drag on economic growth than a boon to the environment, then it should be the target of comprehensive reform, not piecemeal exemptions for would-be NFL owners.
California and Los Angeles are not manufacturing deserts, despite what you've heard about the state's hostility to business. While Los Angeles has lost half its factory jobs since 1991, it's still the largest manufacturing region in the country in terms of jobs, payroll and number of plants, according to a 2012 study of green manufacturing overseen by Goetz Wolff, an urban planning expert at UCLA's Luskin School of Public Affairs. Manufacturing jobs are the best path up the economic ladder for people from disadvantaged communities. Yet such companies "don't have the voice of the entertainment or tourist industry," Wolff says. "There isn't a convention bureau for manufacturing."
It's not as though California has nothing to offer. The Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development, which calls itself GO-Biz, points out that there are many reasons to invest in the state. It's a huge market, with the nation's leading ports and the largest high-tech workforce. It still attracts more than half of all venture investment in the country.
Ohio job development officials told me they attract business by emphasizing their state's virtually nonexistent corporate tax, but when you put all state and local taxes together Ohio's taxes haven't been that far behind California's — for fiscal 2009, the nonprofit Tax Foundation ranked California eighth in per capita taxation, Ohio 10th. (This was before our Proposition 30 raised income taxes on the wealthy and sales taxes on everyone.) Meanwhile, critics of Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who took office in 2011, say that his high-profile state tax cuts have been paid for by just shifting stringent budget cuts on local governments and schools.
But Ohio does have a tax-abatement fund for companies adding jobs, even if it's moving them from another state, as Barry-Wehmiller is doing with Angelus. It established an aggressive one-stop agency to field complaints about permits and regulations.
California does offer businesses some tax credits, employee training programs and low-cost financing of manufacturing facilities through low-interest industrial development bonds. But the tax credits are typically aimed at special situations such as research and development spending or limited to disadvantaged workers.
The worst thing about the state's economic development programs is that they're fragmented. Some state economic agencies seem barely aware that others exist, so they can't refer potential clients to the right programs. Gov. Brown probably did the right thing by abolishing local redevelopment agencies, which often poached jobs from neighboring communities. But those agencies often were the home of local job development programs. In many communities, including Vernon, the redevelopment and job-development programs disappeared together.
California agencies apparently were caught sleeping when Barry-Wehmiller's WARN Act notices went out to the state's Employment Development Department, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors and the city of Vernon. The EDD to this day hasn't posted the WARN Act notice on its website, where other public agencies might have seen it.
Such disorganization only makes it easier for employers to move jobs out of the state by stealth.
California has big markets, great ports and a well-trained workforce. Yes, there are high costs here and lots of regulations, though the latter often contribute to its high quality of life. But the biggest reason California loses jobs to other states may be that it's getting outsoldiered on the battlefield.

Thomas Crow
February - June 2011
Thomas Crow is the Rosalie Solow professor of modern art, and associate provost for the arts at New York University. Previously he served as Director of the Getty Research Institute, during which time there were frequent scholarly and program collaborations with the Clark. He has published two studies of eighteenth-century French painting: Painters and Public Life in Eighteenth-Century Paris (1985) and Emulation: Making Artists for Revolutionary France (1995). Subsequent publications, including The Rise of the Sixties: American and European Art in the Era of Dissent and the essay collection, Modern Art in the Common Culture (both 1996), examine the later twentieth century, while The Intelligence of Art (1999) analyzes specific moments in the history of art history. Crow's most recent texts focus on single artists, including Gordon Matta-Clark (2003), Robert Smithson (2004), Robert Rauschenberg (2005), Jasper Johns, Ed Ruscha (both 2008), Harry Smith, Andy Warhol, and Bob Dylan (all 2009). He has also continued to do research on eighteenth-century France with recent published essays on Chardin in the context of French religious conflicts and the thematics of exile in the later work of David. His project at the Clark will be the completion of a book on the character and persistence of Pop Art from its antecedents in the 1950s to its resilient reappearances in a variety of media up to the present.

Print 24 offer very good rates for print and the quality is more than sufficient for the prices that they charge, even better than others I have used before now who charge a lot more. Production is a bit slower than I am used to, but for the price it is acceptable. As long as you are able to create your artwork yourself then this company is perfect for the end result - their instructions for artwork are not the clearest but if you know what you are doing then you can not go far wrong. I shall be using them again for non urgent jobs for as long as the quality of the print is kept up and as long as delivery does not get slower.
Quite impressed by Print 24, as they have reasonable prices and delivery is fairly quick. Great print quality too. Having paid much more with other print businesses I could not quite believe the prices I saw on Print 24 so was a bit hesitant as I did not want to compromise quality of print, but I have to say I am very impressed. The print is just as good as companies who charge much more. The only difference is it takes a day or two more to get the flyers, but for the saving it is definitely worth the wait. Their website is not the best, but manageable, too many questions and options are slow to update but all in all worth the hassle for the price they charge. Will be using Print 24 again and hope the quality and turnaround time is maintained. Like that you are given a one hour window for delivery too by the courier they use.
The quality of the print products is much better than the quality of many other printing service providers. I live in the Netherlands and use Print24 for all my printing needs for my business Liek's Design. In my opinion, they can't be beaten on either price, print quality, or customer service. Strongly recommended. They never disappoint me!
I placed an order for a couple of thousand flyers for my company and were very impressed with the results and quality of print and speed at which it arrived . although the website is not the best, the prices were very reasonable and speed of delivery also good. site is fairly tricky to use and asks to many questions during check out process, and does not seem to save the options you select as when I signed in I had to select all the options again. the prices are very reasonable and much better than many other companys I have used before now. all went well with the print and delivery and it arrived on time and I was very pleased with the final result. I will be using print 24 again for as long as prices stay as they are and delivery does not get slower. please work on the web site though as it is very poor and wastes a lot of time with questions and losing options youve already selected. instructions for the art work are not that clear but was able to get this info elsewhere, so if you know what your doing you will be fine and should not have many problems. all in all i am happy with the work and recommend you use them if you want to save a few quid, just be prepared to spend time placing the order and log in first or you will lose all your options.
I chose to try Print 24 as their prices were very competitive, sometimes up to half that of others, but was unsure if there may be a reason for this - such as quality, speed etc - but was pleasantly surprised with the results and service I received. The website is not that user friendly, and it too easy to cancel the order by mistake, also if you navigate away from the basket you have to start your product choices all over again, but for the odd order here and there it is certainly worth the hassle. I will certainly use them again in future for more of my printing. The only downside, apart from the website, is the fact that they are not based here in the United Kingdom, although they like to give the impression that they are - the printing actually comes from Germany (I don't see that as a problem, but they could be more open and honest from the start about how it works as I had a slight panic when I realised that the job had to come all the way from Germany). All in all, it is well worth the little niggles and hassles of placing the order as the quality matches that of other much more expensive printers here in the United Kingdom. For as long as this continues I shall keep using Print 24 and recommend any body on a budget or looking to save a lot of money does so too.
I'd highly recommend Print 24 to anyone looking for an online print supplier - with one singe caveat. It is important that you have at least some basic knowledge of graphic software and / print process set up to ensure the quality of your final product (Leaflets / Business Cards / Posters etc)is as you envisioned it. Without a knowledge of bleed margins and CMYK Colour Profiles, someone with a very basic knowledge of their graphics software (perhaps Photoshop Elements) could be very disappointed with their final prinyed product - although in truth this is no fault of Print 24's! Having said that, if you know about print set up and colour profiles etc, or are willing to learn through internet research - or employ the services of an expert graphic designer, then their service and print quality is outstanding. They may not be the fastest online print company in the UK, but this is such a minor gripe when compared to quality and cost. When the print arrives, it is always securely packaged, and I've yet to have to complain about late delivery time, damaged items or bad customer service.
I am more than aware that any kind of low price for printing will come as part of a trade-off between ease of use and 'WYSIWYG', and at first I had some issues getting my PDF artwork formatted to an acceptable standard. I am not particularly technical, and I found it difficult to add the correct bleed to my images. Having said that, I used the Live Chat feature to get in touch with the staff at Print24, and someone was able to point me in the right direction. I insisted on using Indesign to create my artwork, which may be the reason for needing everything to be spot on. Once everything was in place, my order was accepted and their data department were pretty quick to send me a confirmation email. Although Print24 follow the example of other printers and try to 'flog' additional services at the end of the order, the process is nowhere near as confusing as a lot of their competitors. They do not believe in using large buttons that overshadow the smaller ones, getting users in the process to buy additional copies and finishes. One or two of the suggested extras were actually quite useful, and my business cards had an appealing UV finish. I will definitely be returning to them in the future, however I will probably get one of my graphical design friends to lend me a hand with the artwork - this is probably a good thing! I notice that they have an 'Easyprint' product now, but I think I prefer to have the flexibility that comes with uploading my own work.
I have used these guys multiple times and have yet to be disappointed. My most recent order was for rounded business cards that a client was looking fr to be done on excellent quality thick paper. Not only did the cards come exactly as I sent them (many printers colours vary from the sent print data) but the card was better quality than anticipated and I also received my order three days early! I would thoroughly recommend these guys as I am a print reseller and graphic designer. I can fully trust the quality and their excellent value allows me to make a decent profit off of every order. All my clients are always impressed and this has allowed me to maintain a client base and also build a new client base. Aslong as you are comfortable in your design skills I would thoroughly recommend print24 as their pricing and service is second to none.
I have used Print 24 before and the delivery had not always been the best, as it would be either arrive or be sent late but this time it actually arrived early. I continue to use them as the quality has always been excellent and their prices are much lower than other comparable printers so it is worth allowing extra time for the later deliveries. The website is not the easiest to use and is unnecessarily complicated, and the checkout process has too many questions to try and up sell additional products, but I guess this is to be expected for the low price they charge. Overall I am quite impressed with Print 24, but their website and delivery commitments need improvement. I shall certainly continue to use them as long as their price remains so low and the delivery keeps to schedule as often as possible. Thank you Print 24
I am very satisfied with Print24, the prices are very good and very good value. When I first discovered the website I was sure they were incorrect, but I have ordered a few times now and have been happy every time. They delivered my last flyer quickly and it looked great. I have used a lot of other companies for printing and these are the cheapest and you get the same quality.The website is a bit hard to read, lots of drop down menus and it don't look great but they know how to sell more with many options to decide on.Would like to be able to see my original before sending my order through, it might be an unplesent suprise when you get it. Service works fine.
I use Print24 as a core part of my business for all my own printing needs, and also for the needs of my clients. In my opinion, they can't be beaten on either price, print quality, or customer service. Strongly recommended. This is the 5th or 6th order I have made with print 24 and I have never been disappointed. I particularly like the way in which they offer on time offers at checkout which means you can take advantage of things like express delivery, or bonus print quantities at greatly reduced prices. Also, if you are someone that likes to know you can have your questions answered, then you have no worries here. As you have the facility to 'live chat' as well as request call backs, and contact 24/7- i find this very useful. The quality of the print products provided is much better than the quality of many other 'cheap printing service' providers in the UK, so Print24 are definitely worth a thought if you are 'on the fence'.
Fantastic quality and even came a day early as well. Great prices as well, scoured the world for better prices and i am really really hard pushed to find better.i ordered for a 7 day delivery and my parcel was delivered in just 6 days.Print 24 have a huge selection of products to suit almost every need and i use them time and time again.Not only that but i have found quality to be the highest time and time again. Both myself and my clients are continually delighted with the high quality of goods receivedWhat more can you want? Quick, efficient and cost effective.
We have ordered various times before and are always very satisfied with the result, so we keep coming back to print24. The quality is great, the delivery is on time and the prices are the best we could find. Also communications is excellent with frequent updates about the status of the order. We have recommended print24 to others, who are also very satisfied with print24.

It was an awful look that never fit the character. Grant Morrison may have done a better job with Jason than most other writers, but he was still way off on the character.
I will be SO frustrated if EM actually use that look for Jason in the main collection. So much. I will make my Babs-as-Batgirl reaction seem calm and reasonable and happy. I really just want a decent Red Hood fig.

And they're not just aiming at us figurine collectors, but new buyers and those that like chess, missed the figurines, want a starter set, etc. so whilst some people might not be able to afford it, they're hoping there will be others who can!
Jayms wrote:Erm....... wrong Sure it was his best representation since "Under the Red Hood" and Grant Morrison did a half decent job with the character for the first time since Judd Winick had him. The costume doesn't suit the character though, (although, arguably, it did fit that particular arc). I'm just glad Winick is getting the reins again so he can fix him. Under the Red Hood, Road to Jericho and Lost Days are easily the best three Red Hood stories. All by Winick (and notably all in the same costume). Basically, I agree with Blurred View
Ciro wrote:Hate to double post but this might be interesting to a few people here...just got a message from the guy selling Gordon and it's pretty much settled, the chess pieces are in scale with the DCFC. Gordon stands at approx 5 inches including the base, which is slightly bigger than the DCFC one, so that the fig itself is pretty much the same height of a regular DC fig.

David Crowe's Stand-up is a lot like the beginning of the Dickens classic, A Tale of Two Cities. "It was the smartest of shows. It was the dumbest of shows. It was witty and bright. It was brash and physical. It was Dick Cavett. It was Jim Carrey. It was horrifying. It was hilarious."
Crowe is the first comedian in history to have won both the Seattle and San Francisco International Stand-up Comedy Competitions. He is a favorite on the nationally syndicated "Bob and Tom Show".

My Protector2 of 11
By Emili Vesilind
Say goodbye to sticky sunscreen. Kiehl's Super Fluid UV Defense SPF 50+, $32, absorbs quickly and is light enough to wear comfortably under makeup, but offers supersize protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
SUN STAT: According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, up to 90% of skin aging comes from sun exposure.
Sunscreen Guide3 of 11
Dr. T's Supergoop SPF 30 Sunscreen Swipes, $34, are formulated with ray-deflecting zinc oxide and soothing green tea. These handy wipes (perfect for kids) reduce irritation and help combat free radical damage.
SUN STAT: Hitting the tanning bed will soon cost more. President Obama's new health care bill includes a 10% tax on indoor tanning that goes into effect this July.
Sunscreen Guide4 of 11
Why settle for a sunscreen that merely blocks rays, when there are multi-tasking products like Darphin's VITALPROTECTION lotion, $75, which boasts serious SPF and ingredients like edelweiss that help prevent fine lines and wrinkles?
SUN STAT: Adults over age 40 (especially men) have the highest annual exposure to UV, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Lip Service5 of 11
Lips are as vulnerable to sunburn as the rest of your face, so make sure you're protecting your pout with a lip color packing sunscreen like NARS Pure Sheer SPF Lip Treatment with SPF 15, $25.
SUN STAT: Even on a cloudy day, up to 80% of the sun's ultraviolet rays can pass through the clouds, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
Sunscreen Guide6 of 11
Protecting your skin with a high SPF when working out just got a little easier. Mission Skincare's All-Sport Premium Sunscreen SPF 50+, $10 — a sweat-proof, oil-free formula — comes in a continuous-spray.
SUN STAT: Last year, the World Health Organization added radiation from UV-emitting tanning machines to its list of the most dangerous forms of cancer-causing radiation.
Sunscreen Guide7 of 11
Applying sunscreen lotion to an already made-up face can be a messy affair. Enter Peter Thomas Roth Bronze Instant Mineral SPF 30 powder, $35, a protective bronzing mineral powder that guards against rays while giving your skin a matte, light-diffused glow.
SUN STAT: The AAD recommends applying 1 oz (about a shot glass full) of sunscreen to cover exposed body parts.
Sunscreen Guide8 of 11
Not crazy about the dewy look (and feel) most sunscreens leave behind? SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense SPF 50, $30, a mattifying protective fluid engineered for oily and problematic skin, has you covered.
SUN STAT: According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, only about 23% of a person's lifetime exposure to the sun occurs by the time they're 18.
Sunscreen Guide9 of 11
Sky-high temperatures and too-cold air conditioning can test your skin's defenses. But Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Daily Face Shield with Adaptogens SPF 40+, $45, acts like a thermometer for your skin by responding to the effects of extreme temps.
SUN STAT: Nearly 70% of indoor tanners are female, primarily 16 to 29 years old, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
Sunscreen Guide10 of 11
On-the-go gals will appreciate the portability of AHAVA Sun Protection Anti-Aging Moisturizing Spray, $21, a spray-on hydrator packing SPF 30 that helps neutralize free radicals. A perfect product to throw in your beach tote.
SUN STAT: According to the Melanoma Foundation, people with more than 50 moles are at an increased risk of developing melanoma.
Sunscreen Guide11 of 11
Exfoliate your skin while you're protecting it this season with Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20, $43, which helps erase past damage and guard against future exposure.
SUN STAT: The SPF rating is calculated by comparing the amount of time needed to produce a sunburn on sunscreen-protected skin to the amount of time needed to cause a sunburn on unprotected skin.

Our strategy
Transition from emergency assistance to long-term support that helps rural communities, entrepreneurs and youth to build a stronger, more self-sufficient country.
The context
The January 2010 earthquake dealt a tragic blow to a country where 55 percent of the population already lived below a poverty line of $1 a day. Still struggling to rebuild, many families have no means to support themselves. Harmful environmental practices have also harmed the country's vital agricultural land, decreasing production and leading to increased food insecurity.
Our work
- Emergency response: Reached more than 1 million people with emergency supplies, clean water, cholera prevention and temporary jobs immediately after the January 2010 earthquake
- Economic opportunity: Helping women start small businesses to support their families — and protecting them from future disasters with affordable microinsurance
- Agriculture & Food: Boosting farmers' harvests and helping rural communities organize for improved production
- Environment: Promoting sustainable land use practices and establishing alternative fuel sources that provide jobs
- Children & Youth: Using soccer to teach leadership, gender awareness, conflict resolution skills and HIV/AIDS prevention education

Symbolic of South Africa's ongoing bid to attract an international mix of meetings and conventions, the Sandton Convention Centre in Sandton, South Africa, opens in September. The city of Sandton was chosen primarily for its convenient location between the capital city of Pretoria and the business and financial center of Johannesburg. The state-of-the-art facility will offer technological functionality while emphasizing the province's African heritage.
The center will have two exhibition and two convention levels. Above the ballroom is the pavilion level, which can host everything from product launches to pop concerts. The center's lowest levels are given over to exhibition space. Construction work on the center began in July 1997. It will be managed by Southern Sun, Africa's premier hotel group.

All Eyes on the CHL Top Prospects Game
Thanks to the lack of high end technology (No PVR damnit!) at home, I was faced with a tough decision tonight: CHL Top Prospects Skills Competition or Leafs vs. Preds. Sadly, I chose the Leaf game. Pretty much a low chance, slow pace snoozer from the get-go so I eventually started flipping back and forth to catch glimpses of the NHL's next crop of exciting young stars showing off their various talents. Little metaphor there I suppose?

Happy Sunday dear bloggies!
I've never been a fan of the acclaimed peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Yes, I am American, just not a PB&J sandwhich fan. That is not to say that I've kicked the can on all peanut butter + jelly + carb combos. Throw out the bread slices, add some oatmeal and I'm down for plenty of PB&J's. Take for example this morning's breakfast: peanut butter and jelly boatmeal. I'd been wanting to try baked oatmeal ever since Katie posted about it.
So I mixed together:
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/3 cup almond milk
- 1/3 cup apple sauce
- 1 1/2 t peanut butter
- 1 1/2 t raspberry jam
- a sprinkle of cinnamon
- a sprinkle of salt
Then poured the mix into 2 small greased ramekins (not sure if the greasing part was necessary) and baked at 375 for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes I sprinkled on some sucanat and broiled the tops for 2-3 minutes. Breakfast was served.
Love the crisp carmel-y top
A strawberry on top for aesthetic reasons (would have been better if the jam was strawberry)
PB&J, yay or nay?
Favorite oatmeal mix-in?
