About Leonardo Trattoria
Pots of bubbling water cook freshly made pasta until it's ready to join meatballs and calamari on plates doused in zesty sauces. Nearby, pizzas are loaded with prosciutto, shrimp, and roasted garlic, while fresh mozzarella rains over a pizza crust headed for a wood-fired oven. Leonardo Trattoria forgoes local New Orleans food influences, instead maintaining "a focus on Sicilian dishes and cooking styles," as Ian McNulty of Gambit writes. The full-fledged Italian atmosphere continues in the dining room, where flat-screen TVs mounted on brick walls play Italian mobster movies or hours of footage of Dante's writing desk. Outside, lush foliage hangs from a second-story balcony, adding to the ambiance that helped the eatery snag a diners' choice award for outdoor dining from OpenTable readers.

Morrissey Makes Up

Washington, Unit...
Here's a confession – I LOVE MORRISSEY! I really do – I'm off to see him in Vegas next month – yep, all the way to Vegas, baby!!
I've gone mad and ordered bespoke fabric, featuring my hero which I'm going to make a 50s sundress with (hey if I can't wear that in Vegas, where can I?!)but I made sure to get a sample first to check design etc – this is what I created from the sample!
One for me and one for someone who's just as mad about the man as I am :)
I'm loving the pockets inside! They've kind of turned out kitsch, Hawaiian and a little Japanese looking, somehow :)

Roy Lichtenstein is a pop art painter whose works, in a style derived from comic strips, portray the trivialization of culture endemic in contemporary American life. Using bright, strident colors and techniques borrowed from the printing industry, he ironically incorporates mass-produced emotions and objects into highly sophisticated references to art history.
Born in New York City in 1923, Lichtenstein studied briefly at the Art Students League, then enrolled at Ohio State University. After serving in the army from 1943 to 1946, he returned to Ohio State to get a master's degree and to teach.
In 1951, Lichtenstein came back to New York City and had his first one-man show. He also continued to teach, first at the New York State College of Education at Oswego, and later at Douglass College, a division of Rutgers University in New Jersey.
Through the 1950s, Lichtenstein used the basic techniques of abstract expressionism, but incorporated into his compositions such themes as cowboys and Indians and paper money. In 1961, however, while at Douglass College, impressed by the work of colleague Allan Kaprow, he turned to the use of comic-strip ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

Rockingham County attorney Reams returns to office
By JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
Rockingham County Attorney James Reams returned to work on Wednesday after a six month battle with the state. (JAMES A. KIMBLE/FILE PHOTO)
AG says possible appeal by Reams could be 'fatal' to removal action
BRENTWOOD — There were 5,500 unopened emails waiting for Rockingham County Attorney James Reams when he returned to his office Wednesday after a six-month court battle over his ouster.
Reams arrived at work with his wife, Janis, toting coffee and doughnuts for his employees.
"It's kind of like I have been on vacation a while," he said. "It wasn't as odd as coming in after the first time I was elected. Someone had put a welcome-back sign on my door."
A judge on Tuesday approved an agreement that Reams, of Hampton, struck with the state, which allowed him to return to work as the county's top prosecutor. Reams had filed a lawsuit against Attorney General Joe Foster and the Rockingham County Commissioners that upended his suspension on April 10. Last Thursday, the state Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal in the matter until removal proceedings are complete.
Reams said he looks forward to getting access to witness statements and other evidence amassed by state and federal prosecutors that led the attorney general to file a complaint for removal.
A 10-day trial is set to begin Aug. 4, where prosecutors are expected to lay out evidence that Reams sexually harassed female subordinates and mismanaged a forfeiture account used for office supplies and work-related travel.
"If I had done any of the things that they had alleged, I wouldn't have put my family through this," said Reams, who became emotional as he sat behind his desk on Wednesday. "I talked to them about it. They said to go for it. They said don't let them intimidate you out of the truth."
Reams said he has no regrets about waging his months-long court battle with the state and paying a tidy sum in legal bills to regain his last remaining months in office.
"I had no choice. That's the way I looked at it," he said. "You look at the allegations and they said I discriminated against people, but they don't give an example of how a person was discriminated against."
His office, which sports a poster of The Beatles behind an L-shaped desk, was essentially intact following a search by investigators.
"It pretty much looks the way I left it with the exception of some files that were taken," he said.
Reams, a Republican, has held his $85,000-a-year post since 1998, through eight elections. He said that his decision to not seek reelection remains final.
"People asked me to run again, but I am not going to do that," he said. "I made the decision two years ago. My wife and I decided together. My close friends and family knew. I am not going to change that."
Of his remaining nine months in office, Reams said: "There are still some projects I would like to get finalized." He wants to finish work on a statewide database for prosecutors and make sure a backup system for his office's computers is completed.
Reams said he wants to help the person who wins his seat in the fall election.
"I want to have a better transition for whoever takes over, at least better than the one I went through," he said. "There are things they have to think about."
He said he has no set plans for whether he will continue working after his term ends.
"I think I will do something," Reams said. "It's unlikely to be anything in public life. I would be happy pumping gas at a boat dock on Lake Winnipesaukee somewhere."
In the meantime, Reams said he is interested in possibly appointing someone to carry out the deputy county attorney's duties.
His longtime deputy, Tom Reid, resigned in January. His agreement with the state allows an assistant county attorney to carry out the deputy's duties, but cannot take the job in title. "I will take a week or 10 days to assess how things are going," Reams said. "It still makes sense to have a deputy."

STOCKTON - Alert neighbors helped police apprehend two men who burglarized three homes over a span of three hours Thursday in central Stockton, authorities said.
The original version of this story had an incorrect name.
STOCKTON - Alert neighbors helped police apprehend two men who burglarized three homes over a span of three hours Thursday in central Stockton, authorities said.
The burglars were caught in the act after two women called police at 1:28 p.m. to report a break-in at a home in the first block of East Ellis Street, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department.
Officers arrived to find two men in a green Chrysler minivan that matched the description of a vehicle that was involved in two other burglaries Thursday and may have been connected to a number of others in recent weeks, Silva said.
"The neighbors saw something suspicious and heard glass breaking," Silva said. "Instead of looking the other way, they immediately got involved and called police, which allowed our officers to get into the area, saturate the neighborhood and locate the van."
Police arrested Kenneth Cunningham, 23, and Dominique Jermaine Hubbard-Robinson, 23, on suspicion of burglary and possession of stolen property.
A third man escaped and was last seen walking south on Center Street. He was described as a black man 18 to 25 years old standing 6 feet tall with a thin build, a gray sweater, an orange baseball cap and a green camouflage backpack, authorities said.
Officers located a number of stolen items in the minivan, but the burglar who escaped may have gotten away with a number of items, police said. Michael Newhard, 39, who lives at the home on East Ellis Street, said he was missing two handguns, a coin collection, watches, laptop and tablet computers, and personal identification items.
"My first reaction was, 'Wow, they caught them.' That's a good thing," Newhard said. "My second reaction was that you feel violated. Luckily, I'm prepared enough. I have insurance for this type of situation. Things can be replaced, but it's a long, drawn-out process, and it's going to take awhile."
Police also found items that were stolen from a home in the 2300 block of Dwight Way about 11:40 a.m. and a home in the 800 block of West Oak Street about 12:45 p.m., Silva said. Investigators were still trying to determine whether the men were responsible for other recent burglaries, Silva said.
Property crimes were up 4.1 percent over the first six months of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012 as police focused on fighting violent crime, but they were quick to respond to Thursday's string of burglaries, one victim said.
"I've got to say, with the limited number of officers they have on staff right now, they were pretty quick getting over here," said Bob Carroll, 48, another homeowner who was burglarized.
Silva credited good neighbors and good police work.
"Citizens of Stockton are fed up with crime, and the community is rallying behind the Police Department," Silva said. "With our limited resources, we need them to step up and report crime when they see it happening. They did in this case, and it ended up with two burglars being arrested for three burglaries."
Newhard expressed his gratitude to the women who notified police.
"They just moved in," he said. "I'm going to go over and introduce myself and thank them for calling."

- Name: Darrell Issa
- Party/District: R-Calif
- Average net worth: $464.1 million
Rep. Darrell Issa regained his title as wealthiest member of Congress -- a distinction he's held for four of the past eight years. (The other four years, he came in at #2.)
His fortune is built on vehicle anti-theft devices. He and his wife founded Directed Electronics in 1982, when car theft was on the rise. They sold a controlling interest in the company, which created the Viper and Python car security systems, to a private equity firm in 2000.
Issa's assets, which include multiple real estate holdings, range from $430.4 to $672.9 million in value, according to his 2012 financial disclosure forms posted by the Center for Responsive Politics. But he has two personal loans that amount to between $75 and $100 million.
Issa was elected to Congress in 2000.

SALISBURY, MD – The sixth ranked Salisbury University Sea Gull baseball team completed a weekend sweep of York College with a tight 2-1 decision in a Capital Athletic Conference contest on Sunday afternoon in Salisbury, Md.
The Sea Gulls improve to 13-2 overall and 3-0 in the CAC while the Spartans fall to 5-7 overall and 0-3 in the league.
The Spartan loss was not without a highlight as junior left-hander Brad Wenzel (Blandon, Pa./Fleetwood Area) was outstanding on the mound for the Spartans, keeping York in the game all the way.
York threatened early as Dustin Worthman (Tabernacle, N.J./Seneca) singled to open the first. He moved to third on Colbe Herr's (Hummelstown, Pa./Lower Dauphin) one-out single to right. Salisbury starter Dylan Anderson then induced an inning ending double play to keep York off the board.
The Sea Gulls opened the scoring in the third as Evan Graci lofted a sacrifice fly to right , scoring Nick Gentry who walked, stole second and moved to third on a single before scoring.
The Spartans tied the game in the fifth as Worthman reached on a fielder's choice, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on an Andrew Hershey (Lancaster, Pa./Penn Manor) RBI single to center.
The Sea Gulls' winning rally came in the eighth and started on a Bill Root bunt single. Root was sacrificed to second and came around to score on a crucial two-out Spartan error that should have ended the inning without any damage. The defensive lapse was the Spartans' eighth error of the three game set and allowed the 23rd unearned run of the year to cross the plate against the Green and White.
The Spartans got the tying run on with two outs as Derek Pitzer (York, Pa./Dallastown) drew a walk but he was erased on a fielder's choice to end the game.
Wenzel suffered the hard-luck complete game loss as he allowed two runs, one earned, on four hits with eight strikeouts and six walks. He falls to 1-1 with the loss.
Dan Fein earned the win in relief as he shut down the Spartans over the final five innings of the game. Fein allowed just one hit with one walk and eight strikeouts to improve to 4-0. Anderson started and allowed a run on five hits with two walks and a strikeout in four-plus innings of work.
All 10 hits in the games were singles as both pitching staffs handcuffed the offenses. Salisbury got singles from Root, Quinn Griffith, Kyle Hayman, and Bobby Sanzone with Graci having the Gulls' only RBI.
Herr led York with two hits while Hershey, Worthman, Justin Cohen (Severn, Md./Old Mill), and Colin Porter (Hanover, Pa./South Western) picked up the other hits for York.
The Spartans are scheduled to return to action on Wednesday afternoon when they travel to Messiah College for a non-conference action. The Spartans were slated to host Kean on Monday but that game has already been postponed due to the impending inclement weather scheduled to hit York on Monday morning.

Re: LOVE
Sitting here,
All alone.
Nobody to talk to,
Only me and my heart.
Thinking of you,
Smiling at myself..
Drifting away to a world
With nobody else then ourselves.
Reaching out for you.
My fingertips touching your face.
Feeling it, loving it.
Your smile,
so innocent and pure.
Your hands lifting me of the ground.
Your eyes,
so sweet and caring.
And a voice that makes me shiver from delight.
Your lips,
so warm and tender,
Saying words that make me blush.
The sunshine reflecting on your skin,
The wind playing with your hair,
Making you even more beautiful.
For once there are no worries on my mind,
Only you.
Trying to memorize why I feel like this
when I'm around you,
While the answer is standing right in front of me.
Because you are who you truly are,
and you love me for who I am.
Slowly I'm realizing I love you too.
But then,
I hear my name.
I'm slowly waking up,
Not willing to let you go,
not just yet.
Slowly I'm coming back to earth,
Knowing you're already out of reach,
Knowing full well it was all just a dream
but still I'm loving you,
smiling at you,
thinking of you.
Realizing this dream someday will be
everything that a dream is not :

TACOMA, Wash. — It was an eclectic gathering Saturday, June 2, at the debut of the Pacific Northwest's newest attraction: LeMay – America's Car Museum (ACM) as thousands of people flowed into the 165,000-sq. ft., four-level museum with sweeping views above Tacoma, Wash. Visitors included Washington Lt. Governor Brad Owen, GM Vice President of Design Ed Welburn, Tonight Show host Jay Leno, jewelry magnate Nicola Bulgari, Mariners' two-time batting champ Edgar Martinez, "car guys," museum lovers and lots of families.
"This is a world-class museum," said ACM President and CEO David Madeira. "Nothing in North America compares to our campus, which is why families have traveled from around Puget Sound, the Pacific Northwest and throughout the U.S. just to be part this celebration.
"We've created a fun destination in addition to a beautiful museum. We've got our 3.5 acre Haub Family Field to host concerts, car shows, civic events and even drive-in movies. We have an educational center that will attract 100,000 school kids each year and unique exhibits that blend cars, music, film and photos. And all of this is centered around preserving history and creating a thriving museum at the heart of the world's automotive culture."
After raising more than $60 million in the midst of the recession, ACM broke ground in June 2010. Two years later, the museum – projected to pump $34 million into the local economy – is showcasing exhibits that include: Ferrari in America; Indy Cars; the British invasion of the '60s; the classic car era; alternative propulsion; and the collections of jewelry magnate Nicola Bulgari and Tacoma icon Harold LeMay (whose vast mix of vehicles was the genesis of the museum 14 years ago).
"My husband never met a car he didn't like," said Nancy about Harold, who passed away at age 81 in 2000. "We created initial fundraising plans in 1998 to memorialize a portion of the collection. Today he would be so proud to see his dream become a reality and have his passion for cars displayed in such an amazing setting."
LeMay's collection, estimated by the Guinness Book in the mid '90s to include a 3,000-plus cars, trucks and motorcycles, highlights cars ranging from a 1916 Pierce Arrow to a 1956 Chevy two-door hardtop.
"Everybody remembers their first car, family driving vacations, a sports car they fell in love with as a teenager," says Madeira. Personal experiences are part of life in America, and with the assistance of the Harold and Nancy LeMay collection, we're showcasing more than a century of automotive history."
Saturday's grand opening festivities also featured a free concert from six-time Grammy winners Asleep at the Wheel as well as a traditional American Indian blessing from members of the Puyallup Nation.
About America's Car Museum (www.lemaymuseum.org)
State Farm Presents LeMay America's Car Museum, which opened June 2, 2012, in downtown Tacoma, Wash., explores how the automobile has fulfilled a distinctive role at the core of the American experience and shaped our society. The spacious Museum with rotating exhibits is designed to be the centerpiece for automotive history as well as an educational center and library. The campus, located adjacent to the Tacoma Dome, also contains a 3.5-acre show field, theatre, café, banquet hall and meeting facilities. To get information on museum hours, becoming an ACM member, volunteer opportunities or to make a donation, visit www.lemaymuseum.org.

Matt Garza, Sean Marshall, and the Specter of a Rebuild
Missing out on Yu Darvish, alone, is not a reason to give up on 2012. There are free agents left. Trades can be made. Players can surprise.
So, in that regard, we don't really know more about the Cubs' offseason plans today than we did last night.
But, the nice thing about landing a pitcher like Darvish? It can signal your team is "going for it" in 2012, or it can signal your team is committed to building for the long-term. At just 25, Darvish is barely older than the average AA/AAA prospect. Landing him would not have shown what direction the Cubs were going to take, but it would have given me confidence that either path was getting off to a great start.
I am not interested in seeing the Cubs make moves just to make moves. But I am interested in seeing the organization move toward one direction or the other: either sell off valuable pieces to build for the future, or add legitimate, impact pieces to try and compete in the near-term.
So far this Winter, the Cubs have done neither. The 2012 team looks appreciably worse than the 2011 team (which was, itself, no prize pig), and the Cubs have not made a single move designed to build toward the future. I still have "trust," "patience," and all that. But the time has come to make a decision. Darvish represented the crossroads. The Cubs missed out, and now it's time for tough decisions.
We all need to be realistic about where the Cubs, as currently constructed, stand in the next couple of years. Without a number of significant additions this offseason – and I mean Prince Fielder PLUS another big bat somewhere PLUS a good starting pitcher (better than Paul Maholm) – I cannot see how this roster can compete for the playoffs in 2012, short of a Disney-style miracle. Adding those pieces remains possible. But, given what we've seen in the aftermath of the 2007 spending splurge, is it really the path we want the Cubs to take?
Keep in mind why we were so excited to get Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer in the first place: we believed they knew how to build a roster and an organization from the ground up. With every big name that goes off the board to a team not called the Cubs, it seems more and more likely that building from the ground up is exactly what Epstein and Hoyer plan to do.
That said, it's time to get to it. And that means aggressively shopping the few valuable pieces on the roster who may not be around to contribute to a winner in 2013/2014 and beyond.
I've already discussed my belief that the Cubs should be shopping closer Carlos Marmol and catcher Geovany Soto regardless of their plan for 2012. That should continue, unabated.
Now it's time to talk more seriously about finding a home for Matt Garza and Sean Marshall.
The viability of trading Matt Garza has been discussed around here – and elsewhere – at length. With Darvish off the market and headed to Texas, the picture for Garza changes a bit. The Rangers, for all intents and purposes, are out, which is a shame, because they may have been his hottest pursuer. Everyone expects the Blue Jays – who've now whiffed on both Darvish and Mat Latos – to step up their pursuit of Garza. As a 28-year-old, excellent starting pitcher under control for two more years, Garza is attractive to every team looking for a starter. But he may be even more attractive to teams like the Blue Jays, Yankees, and Red Sox, who've seen him up close and personal in the AL East, where he was successful.
Ken Rosenthal agrees that the Blue Jays, among others will be in on Garza, and adds that teams are very interested in lefty reliever Sean Marshall.
Theo Epstein recently called Marshall the best left-handed reliever in baseball, which I can only assume was designed to remind those teams who come to the Cubs asking about Marshall to come hard, or don't come at all. And, you know, Marshall may indeed by the best left-handed reliever in baseball.
Marshall, 29, is coming off back-to-back dominant seasons as a full-time reliever (160 ERA+ in 2010, 173 in 2011). He'll make just $3.1 million in 2012, his last before free agency. When the San Diego Padres dealt similarly successful, but older, more expensive, and less left-handed reliever Mike Adams at the deadline last year, they netted two top pitching prospects, Robbie Erlin and Joe Weiland (both of whom would have been in the Cubs' top ten prospect lists last year). Keep in mind on Marshall: under the new CBA, players must have been on a team's roster the entire season to qualify for draft pick compensation if they leave via free agency. That means if the Cubs waited until mid-season to deal Marshall, the return would be dramatically reduced.
Marshall will soon be a free agent. Garza will soon be very expensive, and then a free agent. Both are likely to be 30 by the time the Cubs are competitive again … and they'll cost the Cubs a much larger chunk of the budget at that time.
I understand that the idea of shipping off the best pitchers on the team for prospects is an unappealing and foreign concept for many of us – and is particularly foreign in recent years in Chicago. But, if Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer plan to build a foundation for sustained success in the long-term, dealing valuable pieces like Garza and Marshall may be the first step.

With negotiations between the Writers Guild and some of Hollywood's major film studios and TV networks at an impasse as the May 1 deadline nears, putting the panic of a strike in the usually gilded air, we're reminded of the often uneasy relationships between writers and the film industry–which Raymond Chandler amply described in writings outside his famous novels. The following are portions excerpted from The Raymond Chandler Papers: Selected Letters and Non-Fiction, 1909-1959, edited by Tom Hiney and Frank MacShane and published in April by Atlantic Monthly Press.
Letter to Erle Stanley Gardner, January 29, 1946. Chandler was working steadily on a fifth Marlowe novel. The cheap editions of all four earlier Marlowes were now selling in the hundreds of thousands, and Newsweek had reported in 1945 that "Chandlerism, a select cult a year ago, is about to engulf the nation."
Most of what you write is a complete surprise to me–including the idea that you are a lousy writer…. As I speak I have two solid rows of Gardners in front of me, and am still trying to shop around to complete the collection. I probably know as much about the essential qualities of good writing as anybody now discussing it. I do not discuss these things professionally for the simple reason that I do not consider it worthwhile. I am not interested in pleasing the intellectuals by writing literary criticism, because literary criticism as an art has in these days too narrow a scope and too limited a public, just as has poetry. I do not believe it is a writer's function to talk to a dead generation of leisured people who once had time to relish the niceties of critical thought. The critics of today are tired Bostonians like Van Wyck Brooks or smart-alecks like Fadiman or honest men confused by the futility of their job, like Edmund Wilson. The reading public is intellectually adolescent at best, and it is obvious that what is called "significant literature" will only be sold to this public by exactly the same methods as are used to sell it toothpaste, cathartics and automobiles. It is equally obvious that since this public has been taught to read by brute force it will, in between its bouts with the latest "significant" bestseller, want to read books that are fun and excitement. So like all half-educated publics in all ages it turns with relief to the man who tells a story and nothing else. To say that what this man writes is not literature is just like saying that a book can't be any good if it makes you want to read it. When a book, any sort of book, reaches a certain intensity of artistic performance, it becomes literature. That intensity may be a matter of style, situation, character, emotional tone, or idea, or half a dozen other things. It may also be a perfection of control over the movement of a story similar to the control a great pitcher has over the ball. That is to me what you have more than anything else and more than anyone else. Dumas Père had it. Dickens, allowing for his Victorian muddle, had it; begging your pardon I don't think Edgar Wallace approached it. His stories died all along the line and had to be revived. Yours don't. Every page throws the hook for the next. I call this a kind of genius. I regard myself as a pretty exacting reader; detective stories as such don't mean a thing to me. But it must be obvious that if I have half a dozen unread books beside my chair and one of them is a Perry Mason, and I reach for the Perry Mason and let the others wait, that book must have a quality.

STOCKTON - Last week, the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors signed off on long-term goals for the development of the county: new growth pushed toward existing urban centers and the preservation of open space and farmland in between.
STOCKTON - Last week, the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors signed off on long-term goals for the development of the county: new growth pushed toward existing urban centers and the preservation of open space and farmland in between.
On Tuesday, dozens of property owners with ideas to develop their land made the case why their plans should be included in the county's updated General Plan, the guiding document that will map out development in the unincorporated areas between cities over the next two decades.
In a succession of dozens of votes, supervisors embraced or shot down proposals, voicing concerns about sprawl, a desire to allow growth of job centers to be built, and insistence that new developments have adequate water and sewer services as well as ability to keep up that infrastructure for years to come.
At the end of the day, the board gave the nod to changes affecting about 2,000 acres of land, denied requests for more than 2,500 acres and still had yet to make the call for more than a dozen proposals covering hundreds of more acres.
"This is a long process," board Chairman Ken Vogel said. "This is why it happens once every 20 years."
The rest of the proposals will be considered at a later meeting, yet to be determined.
Some proposals drew more opposition than others.
Supervisors nixed ideas to allow commercial development near Mountain House, near the border with Alameda County outside Tracy.
The master-planned community is the result of years of partnership and agreements between the county and developers that maps out a mix of residential and commercial development over decades. It calls for a balance of housing and jobs, and nearby commercial development would impair the timely development of the rest of Mountain House and "would serve to undermine our success," said Celeste Farron, president of the Mountain House Community Services District governing board. "Stay partners with us to keep us on track."
But competition breeds economic activity, and the proposal near Mountain House is a good place to create jobs, said Mike Souza, whose proposal to the supervisors designated about 180 acres of agricultural-zoned land near the community to allow industrial use. "We don't think it's your job to provide monopolies for other developers."
The current process to shape the county's new General Plan began in 2008. The last plan was approved in 1992. Over the summer, the county Planning Commission recommended a way forward and approved requests from the dozens of landowners who wanted their proposed land-use changes included in the plan.
The Board of Supervisors gave the commission's recommendation a going-over last week, eventually blessing policies that would tighten regulation on development, including limiting expansions of new subdivisions in rural areas, focusing commercial and industrial development to major highways, and removing language open to development outside existing urban areas.
With the policy goals approved, the board on Tuesday went through the proposed land-use changes, sometimes going against the previous Planning Commission recommendations. On the whole, the board approved fewer proposals to convert farmland to low-density housing and limited commercial development to just a few spots along the county's main freeways.
One such reversal involved a plan to convert 169 acres of farmland at Peltier Road and Interstate 5, northwest of Lodi. Both the Planning Commission and staff had recommended approval before the board denied the land-use change Tuesday.
The proposal was opposed by the San Joaquin Farm Bureau Federation and the Campaign for Common Ground, a Stockton group that opposes sprawl, which had raised concerns that the policy proposals could cause "leapfrog" development along the highways.
It's near another existing I-5 stop - Flag City - where there has been infrastructure investment.
"This needs to be more reflective of the development we're pushing in the outlying areas," Supervisor Steve Bestolarides said before voting to deny the Peltier Road proposal.
Mike Hakeem, who represented the property owners, said he understands the community investment. But the General Plan maps out 20 years and more, he said.
"I think there's room for life after Flag City."
The land-use changes approved by the board would be included in the environmental review when a draft General Plan is prepared. It doesn't stop property owners from applying for a General Plan amendment.

Artist, DJ, and producer Tim Bergling, a.k.a. Avicii , died Friday afternoon in Oman, according to a statement from his rep. He was 28.
"It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii ," the statement reads. "He was found dead in Muscat, Omanthis Fridayafternoon local time, April 20th. The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their needforprivacy in this difficult time.No further statements will be given."
One of the most popular and successful electronic dance-music artists of all time — he scored a No. 4 hit on the Billboard 200 in 2013 with "Wake Me Up" and regularly appeared in the Top 5 of Forbes' "Highest-Paid DJs" lists — he retired from live performing in 2016 at the peak of his success, citing health reasons. He had suffered from health problems for several years, including acute pancreatitis, in part due to excessive drinking. He had his gallbladder and appendix removed in 2014.
He posted the following statement on his website last year:
"WE ALL REACH A POINT IN OUR LIVES AND CAREERS WHERE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT MATTERS THE MOST TO US. For me it's creating music. That is what I live for, what I feel I was born to do.
Last year I quit performing live, and many of you thought that was it. But the end of live never meant the end of Avicii or my music. Instead, I went back to the place where it all made sense – the studio.
The next stage will be all about my love of making music to you guys. It is the beginning of something new.
Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do."
Bergling was born in Stockholm on Sept. 8, 1989. He began DJing as a teenager and released his first single in 2007. He released a large number of singles and remixes in the following years and rapidly built a reputation as a live act. He broke through with his 2010 hit "Seek Bromance," which charted in several European countries; he signed a publishing deal with EMI the same year. He explained his chosen DJ name as "the lowest level of Buddhist hell," chosen because his real name was already being used by another Tim Bergling on MySpace.
His 2011 single "Levels," which was later nominated for a Grammy Award, vaulted him into the mainstream, charting in multiple European countries and topping the chart in his native Sweden. "Sunshine," his 2012 collaboration with David Guetta, was nominated for a Grammy for best dance recording. In September of that year, he became the first DJ to headline New York's prestigious Radio City Music Hall; at those two shows, he previewed a new song with Mike Posner titled "Stay with You."
James has maintained a statesmanlike demeanor in the face of the detractors, even when there's a touch of racial undertones. There was the meandering Fox News host who told him to "shut up and dribble" because she didn't like the cut of his jib. Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, writing in Comic Sans font like a schoolchild, treated James' 2010 departure to the Miami Heat like an overseer reacting to the Emancipation Proclamation. In 2017, an unidentified person or persons scrawled the N-word on the front gate of one of James' homes in Los Angeles.
And unlike his transcendent contemporaries O.J. Simpson, Tiger Woods and the pre-retirement versions of Jordan and Kobe Bryant, James has been unafraid to crash headfirst into the topics of race and politics. At the 2016 ESPYS he urged all athletes to "speak up" and use their platforms to invoke change. He later campaigned for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and called the president a bum. Commenting on his vandalized home, James expanded on Kanye West's
Statement Clutch AMOR 041 by VIDA VIDA P6mHIi
about black acceptance in white America: "No matter how much money you have, how famous you are, how much people admire you, being black in America is tough."
But through it all, he's broken records, won awards and achieved personal milestones to rival Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt. James' superstar status has eclipsed that of his peers, affording him the opportunity to branch out into other lucrative endeavors.
He owns Blaze Pizza, the "fastest-growing restaurant" in America, and is a part-owner of Premier League club Liverpool, an investment that has quintupled since 2011, and is the most in-demand active athlete in Hollywood outside of professional wrestler John Cena. Oh, and James signed a lifetime deal with Nike that, based on the gesture of his business manager's finger , is believed to be for more than a billion dollars. James is the "business, man" who Jay-Z rapped about 13 years ago.
He even moves markets all by himself: After he left the Cavaliers in the summer of 2010, the team lost more than $120 million in value . After four seasons in South Beach, the Heat's value vaulted from $364 million to $770 million. Free agency in the NBA practically comes to a halt when James decides to switch ZIP codes.
It's no surprise, then, that the man who funneled James to Los Angeles is someone who matches his professional and business acumen. Johnson, the Hall of Famer and renowned businessman, was the lone NBA executive granted a face-to-face sit-down with James during the offseason, which, according to recent reports , was due to James viewing Johnson as a partner rather than as Johnson's subordinate.
Johnson, one of just three black presidents of basketball operations in the league, is no stranger to power moves on and off the court. Even before ending a 13-year career in 1996 — a career that included 12 All-Star appearances, three MVP awards and five NBA titles — Johnson was flexing his business skills. In the early 1990s, Johnson bought a Pepsi bottling company in the Washington, D.C., area, at the time the largest minority-operated Pepsi franchise in America, and a Los Angeles shopping center. By the new millennium, Johnson owned and franchised fitness centers, Starbucks franchises (he sold 105 locations back to the company in 2010) and movie multiplexes in California, Ohio, Texas, Georgia and Maryland. The star of the short-lived Magic Hour talk show was also a part-owner of the Lakers for 16 years and has been a part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers since 2012.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Nuclear talks between Iran and leading Western powers ended inconclusively in Geneva on Saturday, but the two sides agreed to get back together later in the month to sign what Israel says is a "very, very bad deal."
European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said of the Geneva talks that "concrete progress on Iran's nuclear program has been made, but some issues remain."
US Secretary of State John Kerry added that the two sides had "not only narrowed differences and clarified those that remain but we made significant progress in working through the approaches to this question of how one reins in a program and guarantees its peaceful nature."
But a day earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a public plea to Kerry and his colleagues "not to rush to sign, to wait, to reconsider, to get a good deal."
Netanyahu reminded Kerry of his previous remark that "no deal is better than a bad deal." According to the Israeli leader, "the deal that is being discussed in Geneva is a bad deal. Iran is not required to take apart even one centrifuge. But the international community is relieving sanctions on Iran for the first time after many years."
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon called the Geneva deal "a historical mistake that will allow the bellicose regime in Tehran to pursue its dangerous nuclear program and its ambition to spread terror and to undermine regimes in the Middle East and the entire world."
Israel Radio reported on Sunday that Economic Minister Naftali Bennett would be dispatched to Washington to lobby the American government against supporting the proposed Iran nuclear deal.
The Israeli reaction apparently displeased Kerry, who charged that critics of the Iran deal were "jumping to conclusions.""
Speaking at a press conference following the Geneva talks, Kerry insisted that Western powers would only sign a deal that would allow them to "look our allies in the face and say, 'This gets the job done.'"

Every year at Christmas time I make the trip to Altona to spend some time with grandma and grandpa. Just to sit a while and tell them what I'm up to. Let them know what's happening. How I'm feeling. I know they can hear. I know that they're listening. Red roses were her favourite. A splash of colour that I just know she would be able to see from heaven and would be asking "for me?" with a surprised look on her face, and grandpa would be nodding and smiling that I remembered. "That's my girl" he would quietly say.

Roger Baker founder will attend seminar
Baker Mitchell, founder of The Roger Bacon Academy, has been invited to join 50-60 other attendees from across the country to participate in Hillsdale College's Charter School seminar, "What Makes Classical Education Different?"
The conference for charter school leaders will be June 24-27 at Hillsdale's Dow Conference Center in Michigan and all expenses will be borne by The Barney Charter School Initiative, a new project funded by the Barney Family Foundation and other national donors.
Brunswick County Parks and Recreation and Communities in Schools (CIS) are teaming up to offer a summer full of fun and educational activities at an affordable cost. Activities will be action-packed and will include two field trips per week to area attractions, such as Jungle Rapids and Alligator Adventure. On-site activities include: sportacular fun, tennis adventure, art from the heart, popcorn toss, fast-crafts, geo-caching, trivia, and yes...quiet reading.
If you missed Brunswick County's N.C. Pre-K countywide registration, you can still apply for the 2012-2013 school year.
N.C. Pre-Kindergarten applications are available at Smart Start of Brunswick County, 5140 Sellers St. in Shallotte, or at the following NCPK sites: Brunswick Community College Early Childhood Education Center, Earth Angels Educational Center, For Kids Only, Kids Connection, Kids World Learning Center, Kids World Academy, Little Sandpipers Learning Center I, Long Beach Academy, Longwood Head Start, Piney Grove Head Start, Specnine and Tiny Tots.
William Ernest Rabon and Mary Gore Rabon recently made a $50,000 gift to the Foundation of Brunswick Community College to establish two endowed scholarships.
The William Ernest Rabon Endowed Scholarship, in the amount of $20,000, has been designated to the associate's degree program in horticulture technology. The program includes instruction and practical laboratory applications of horticultural principles. Also included are courses in plant production, soils, landscaping and the management and operation of horticulture businesses.
Everyone loves a good race, and this is especially true for elementary students and their parents.
The Roger Bacon Academy's annual FASTAR event isn't about racing cars or bikes. FASTAR is a race of academic skills. Nearly 400 charter school student-racers test the speed of their reading and math skills at this annual event.
Students must practice math and reading proficiencies to qualify for the FASTAR race day. When they qualify, they compete for trophies and gold medals while their classmates, parents and supporters cheer them on to the finish line.
Green is Employee of the Month
For Kids Only C.D.C has named Amy Green as Employee of the Month for January. She has been employed at For Kids Only for 12 years and will graduate from UNC Pembroke in December with a bachelor's degree in birth-kindergarten education. Her commitment, resourcefulness and enthusiasm in the classroom were a true asset to the center, coworkers said.
Seventh-grade students in Kathleen Harris's science classroom at South Brunswick Middle School have been studying cell structure and functions of each organelle. As a culminating hands-on extension to this unit, students used everyday materials to construct a large-scale model of the individual aspects of a cell.
After comprehensive planning and design, students got their hands dirty using paper mache, balloons, wire, foam and plastic to make something invisible to the naked eye large enough to fill a classroom.
A handful of students can make the difference between a hostile environment and one that encourages friendship, tolerance and peaceful co-existence. Leland Middle School has the latter. Thanks to a federally funded Learn and Serve Grant administered by Communities in Schools, students are working together to end bullying in their school.
The program, called Live in Peace, involves nearly a dozen students committed to making their school a better place.
"We want to stop people from treating other people wrong," explained sixth-grader Josiah Deal.

Tiny, towable, airfoil-shaped trailers that were the rage in the 1940s and 50s. Eclipsed nearly half a century ago by hefty RVs and motor- homes, these streamlined tag-alongs are making a big comeback among the camping crowd. The Teardrops' resurgence has grown out of a need for a light camper that can be towed by a smaller, more fuel efficient vehicle, with a comfortable bed for two and a galley, both sheltered from the elements. Some owners relish hitching them behind a classic car, hot-rod, PT Cruiser or some other nostalgic vehicle.
So-Cal Teardrops has painstakingly re-engineered the "original" Teardrop trailer, with modern materials and technologies, while maintaining a hand fit and finish.
All models come standard with all the items listed in this FACT SHEET. All trailers are F.O.B. Upland, CA. Delivery to the Continental U.S. is available.
Come on by and visit us. You can also call or e-mail us today to get your trailer "rolling" and become one of the many "Happy Campers" to own a So-Cal Teardrops trailer.

The latest Bachelorette baby is here!
Jen Schefft and husband Joe Waterman welcomed their second daughter, Charlotte Grace Waterman, on Tuesday, July 31, she announced via Twitter.
Charlotte weighed in at 8 lbs., 3 oz. and joins big sister Mae Elizabeth, 20 months.
"She is a doll and we couldn't be happier!" the former reality star, 36, writes.
Schefft won Andrew Firestone's heart on The Bachelor in 2003, then went on to star in her own season of The Bachelorette two years later.
The Chicago-based Schefft met Waterman, a trader, on a blind date in 2008 and the couple tied the knot in May 2009. They welcomed their first child on Nov. 13, 2010.

Jordan convicts 5 of trying to cross into Syria
AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Jordan's military court has convicted five Jordanians of trying to sneak into neighboring Syria to join rebels seeking to unseat President Bashar Assad.
The court sentenced the men in a brief hearing Monday to five years in jail with hard labor on charges of attempting to illegally cross the border to join a banned group.
Presiding judge Ahmed Qatarneh said the five — in their 20s and 30s — had confessed to planning to join the al-Qaida-linked Jabhat al-Nusra, or Nusra Front.
They were arrested in February 2012 on the Jordanian-Syrian border.
The prosecutor's indictment said the five were members of the hard-line Salafi Jihadi Movement. The group is banned in Jordan.
Security sources say several hundred Jordanians have joined rebels in Syria.

Blackheart seeks revenge against the Commodore in this week's attack/defend battleground! Everyone starts at level 10, no other talents besides that are available. There's a small chance of all players being the same Hero. Play two games to earn a Loot Chest.
Blizzard (Source)
Assist a salty revenge-fueled pirate in his other-worldly quest to destroy the docks, or send him to a watery grave with the aid of some spectral cannonballs. This week's Heroes Brawl is Blackheart's Revenge, and no matter which side you take, it's sure to be an explosive match!
Choose from one of three randomly selected Heroes before entering the Docks. Be quick about it though, you only have 30 seconds to choose! Everyone will begin the round at level 10 and will be asked to choose a Heroic Ability. No other talents will be available. You will either be placed on the Attacking or Defending team and will be responsible for aiding Blackheart in his quest for revenge, or preventing the destruction of the Docks Attackers will be responsible for preventing Defenders from firing Cannons at Blackheart's ship Defenders will gather Cannonballs and fire them at Blackheart's ship via Cannons placed around the Battleground After the first round, teams will switch sides and the displayed health on Blackheart's Ship will be adjusted to show the amount of Cannonballs the defending team must fire to beat their opponent's score and win the round. The team to fire the most shots at the enemy ship will be victorious, unless both teams fire zero or the maximum of 5 Cannonballs, which will result in ties. Rewards:
Complete two matches of the Blackheart's Revenge to earn a Loot Chest! Find out more about the new Heroes Brawl game mode on our Heroes Brawl site; and as always, you can find more information on this week's Brawl by clicking the Brawl Info button at the bottom of the play screen when preparing to queue for the Brawl game mode.

Alan Dabiri announced that he's leaving his current position as Game Director for Heroes of the Storm and he's moving on to another project at Blizzard.
Alan Dabiri has been Game Director ever since Dustin Browder stepped down in December 2016. He thinks the game is in the right hands right now, as developers continue to deliver interesting new Heroes and events. He's transitioning to a new team within the company. We wish him success in all his future endeavors.
Here's the message he left on the official forums:
Blizzard (Source)
In my 20-plus years at Blizzard, I've had the privilege of working on many awesome Blizzard games in roles ranging from software engineer to technical director to game director. Across my many roles and games, my experience working on Heroes of the Storm ranks among the best of my development career. I've witnessed Heroes' evolution from a StarCraft II mod to the amazing game you see today. Heroes' development has been fueled by the shared excitement of our team and all of you in the community, and the game we've built together is the game I play almost every night.
One of the best things about developing Heroes is the fact that this team is not afraid to try new things while always striving to learn and grow. It's been part of our DNA from the very beginning, and it's through years of experimentation that we've hit our stride both as a development team, and as a game. This is possible because Heroes has an exceptional development team of both Blizzard veterans and fresh faces who are all highly engaged with the game we're making, and the players we're making it for.
It's in this spirit of trying new things that I want to let everyone know that a few months ago, I accepted an opportunity to transition off my role as Heroes' game director to heed Blizzard's call and begin a new adventure elsewhere within the company. The game director has always been one part of the overall leadership team that drives Heroes forward and it's been a privilege to work among some of the best game developers at every level on the team all the way up to our production director, Kaéo Milker. Leaving a team and game that I love is incredibly difficult, but seeing the steady strength, creativity, and commitment that Kaéo and the design, engineering, and art leadership teams consistently bring to Heroes has given me more than enough confidence to make this decision. I trust that the game is in the very best hands and their work these past few months has only reinforced my belief.
They've released awesome new heroes like Yrel, Whitemane, Mephisto, and now Mal'Ganis, while building on the themed content drops that let the team do fun things that only Heroes can do. They brought the smackdown (plus my favorite mount, the Luchihuahua!) with Nexomania, finally brought an epic slice of Azeroth into the Nexus with the Alterac Pass Battleground, and joined the Raven Lord's forces with the Fall of King's Crest. On top of that, the team has also released awesome reworks like Raynor and Brightwing while adding exciting updates like third ban and Team League improvements. With so many awesome content and feature updates, you can see why I believe that the team has brought us the best year of Heroes of the Storm so far.
And they're not done yet. Heroes has one of the most passionate and dedicated development teams I've had the pleasure of working with, and they have a ton of exciting new content in development. I can't wait for you all to see what they have in store for the rest of this year and beyond. You can bet that I'll be right there enjoying it with you as it's released, too. I'm sure you'll agree when I say that Heroes is in a great place and I promise that it's in the hands of the best possible people to continue driving it forward. Kaéo and the Heroes team are people who play almost every night who also happen to get to work on making the game what it is today. With our continued input and support, they'll keep doing what they do best by making Heroes of the Storm the most awesome game it can possibly be.
I just want to sign off by saying thank you to all of you. I've had an incredible time working on this game and seeing you bring the battlegrounds to life every day. I'm so grateful for the enthusiasm you've brought to Heroes and all the changes you've encouraged us to make. I know the team deeply appreciates the feedback you share, so please keep it coming—and as always, I'll see you in the Nexus!

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyIn addition to its unique appearance, the jaguarundi differs from other small New World cats in many aspects of its biology and behaviour. Individuals travel widely in unusually large home ranges and are more terrestrial than many other species, though are also agile climbers (2) (3) (6) (7). The jaguarundi is also much more diurnal than most cats (3) (10) (11). The diet consists mainly of small mammals, birds and reptiles, as well as occasional amphibians, fish and larger mammals (2) (3) (4) (6). Arthropods and some fruit may also be taken (7) (10). The jaguarundi has been observed to jump up to two metres off the ground to swat at birds in the air (6). The breeding behaviour of the jaguarundi is less well known (6). It is believed to live either alone or in pairs (2) (3) (7), and may breed year-round in the tropics, although one or two distinct breeding seasons have been suggested for northern parts of the range (3) (7). The female gives birth to between one and four young after a gestation period of 70 to 75 days (3) (6) (8). The young are born in a den, typically located in a dense thicket, hollow tree, fallen log, or thick grassy clump (6) (7). Like the adult, the young usually lack spots, although some report the newborns to be dark-spotted (2) (4) (6). Young jaguarundis leave the den after about 28 days, reaching sexual maturity at around two to three years, and living for up to 15 years (3) (7) (8).

iPhone frenzy keeps police busy at Rockingham mallBy ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent
September 20. 2013 8:09PM
SALEM – The release of the latest version of the Apple iPhone kept Salem police busy Thursday night into Friday morning as hundreds of people lined up at the Mall at Rockingham Park for the phone's release.
Two people were arrested on trespassing charges and police are also investigating an assault that left a man unconsious, according to Deputy Chief Shawn Patten.
Arrested were Mark Young, 24, of Peabody, Mass., on trespassing and disorderly conduct charges and Jennifer Young, 22, of Peabody, Mass., on charges of trespassing and possession of marijuana. Both were released on $1,000 personal recognizance.
Another man waiting at the mall was apparently assaulted and discovered unconscious by the police lying in some brush.
"He was transported to a local hospital by the Salem Fire Department. Detectives are following up on the incident."

BURNABY, British Columbia — Those who watched Davide Chiumiento's highlight video before he came to Vancouver last season were awed by his dazzling dribbling, his nifty passes and his cool finishing. Needless to say, the anticipation quickly built for the arrival of the man known as the "Swiss Ronaldinho."
The electric 5-foot-7 attacking midfielder has enjoyed a distinguished playing career. At the age of 15, he moved to Italy to play for Juventus' youth squad. While with Juve, he had the opportunity to play with one of his childhood idols, Italian legend Alessandro Del Piero.
"When I was at Juventus, he was a very big player," Chiumiento recalls. "When he was younger he was incredible. I have tons of respect for him. He's done many great things at Juventus."
Chiumiento made his debut at 19, coming on as a substitute against Empoli, but it was the training that affected the Swiss most.
"There were players like Paolo Montero, who was a defender, but he was also a playmaker," Chiumiento explains. "I learned a lot about shooting, free kicks, the final pass, dribbling and many other things. Watching them helped a lot."
It's evident in watching Chiumiento's play that he paid very close attention indeed.
"My game is technique, I like playing a skilled game," Chiumiento said. "When I play a controlled game I play better. I like to make the game pleasurable for people to watch."
Entertainment is certainly not a problem when the scruffy magician straps on his boots. It takes a great deal of skill to befit a nickname that draws comparison to one of the greatest playmakers on the planet.
"I very much like Ronaldinho's game, I have a lot of respect for him," Chiumiento said. "He's one of the best players in the world and its beautiful watching a player like that."
Chiumiento's abilities have not gone unnoticed. Earlier this year he was called up to play for the Swiss national team, but was not selected for the final World Cup squad.
"I played four or five months ago in a World Cup warmup against Uruguay," Chiumiento recalls. "It's too bad that in the end I wasn't selected for the World Cup, but that's the way soccer goes sometimes. I'd very much like to have another chance."
Like many other foreign players in MLS, Chiumiento will have some hard choices to make in balancing his international and club careers.
"The national team will be difficult because it's so far away," Chiumiento said. "If I'm called up for a friendly match, I'll have to travel thousands of miles to get there. It's difficult, but I knew that when I made the decision to come here.
"I'm not thinking about the national team right now," he added. "My focus is on trying to work myself into the team, to look forward to MLS next season. I'd really like to start the season now. It's some time away but I'm working hard. Physically, you have to work very hard here."
Chiumiento, who will turn 26 later this month, is no longer the understudy to soccer greats. It's time now for him to showcase his game to the world, and he hopes that MLS is just the platform to do it.

August 1 is the first possible date when health plans could be required to cover eight new preventive services for women—including all Food and Drug Administration-approved contraceptives—under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
However, most Americans saw no change in their health insurance that day, because their plans renew on another date or are covered by a one-year "temporary enforcement safe harbor" or a "grandfathering" provision that delays changes.
The Department of Health and Human Services has estimated that up to 87 percent of the 133 million Americans who get their health insurance through large employers (those with 100 or more workers) and 80 percent of the 43 million who work for small employers remained in grandfathered plans in 2011. The numbers go down to about 66 percent for large employers and 51 percent for small employers in 2013.

Hedge funds' returns have stayed "lackluster" this year, with the $2.3 trillion industry trailing the gains of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index by about 10 percentage points, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
Hedge funds gained 5.4% on average through May 10, compared with a 15.4% rise for the S&P 500 and a 14.8% increase for the typical mutual fund, a team of Goldman Sachs analysts led by Amanda Sneider and David Kostin wrote in a report released today.
Hedge-fund managers have been hurt in 2013 by their bearish wagers on stocks, with "popular" shorts such as Johnson & Johnson and Gilead Sciences Inc. rising more than the broader equity market, Goldman Sachs said. Fewer than 5% of the hedge funds tracked by New York-based Goldman Sachs are beating the S&P 500 or a typical mutual fund that buys stocks of the biggest U.S. companies.
A "multi-year trend of lackluster hedge-fund returns continues in 2013," the analysts wrote. "Strong long performance was not enough to outweigh the drag from popular short positions."
Hedge funds, which typically charge clients a 2% management fee and 20% of any investment gains, are private pools of capital that can bet on both rising and falling asset prices. From the start of 2009 to the end of April this year, the average fund has risen 21% after fees, compared with a 77% gain for the U.S. benchmark S&P 500, data compiled by Bloomberg shows.
Hedge funds are currently 53% "net long," the highest percentage since the first quarter of 2007, according to Goldman Sachs. The figure is derived by subtracting bets that stocks will fall from wagers that they will rise.
The stocks hedge funds are most bullish on include American International Group Inc., Google Inc., Apple Inc. and Citigroup Inc., according to Goldman, which analyzed equities that appear most frequently among the top 10 holdings of fund managers.
Stocks hedge funds are most commonly shorting include Johnson & Johnson, Intel Corp., International Business Machines Corp. and Gilead, the Goldman Sachs analysts said. In a short sale, traders borrow shares from a broker and sell them, hoping to buy back the stock at a lower price. They then return the borrowed shares to their broker and pocket the difference.
