They Loved Sun, Sand and Surf
and Lived a Lifetime of Feel -Good Music!
S
arah Linn of the Tribune says em-
phatically...that...years before they
found fame as the surf music duo Jan
& Dean, Jan Berry and Dean Torrence
honed their sun-kissed signature sound by
singing in their football teams shower
room at University High School in West
Los Angeles...a place where surf music, the
sounds of California were born by many fa-
mous names.
Dean says...Wed just stand around and
sing doo-wop songs wherever we could
find tile, ...it helped dthat the space was
like a sound studio...Berry and Torrence
went on to become one of the best-selling
acts of the 1960s, releasing a string of chart
toppers including Surf City, Drag City,
Dead Mans Curve and The Little Old
Lady from Pasadena.
Dean a home town buy of Huntington
Beach helped us secure its Surf City USA
status Jan & Dean owed their success
mainly because of their image. The clean-
cut looks and carefree songs about fast cars,
cute girls and catching waves, the duo rep-
resented what was nationally admired about
California culture.
Dean says: It was the whole lifestyle:
the water and the sky and palm trees and
kids in bathing suits out in the sun, The
partnership with Berry was cut short by the
singer-songwriters death in 2004.
In the beginning:
Berry and Torrence got their start in high school
as members of the doo-wop group The Barons.
The Barons recorded their early efforts in the
garage of Berrys Bel Air home using Ampex reel-
to-reel tape recorders given to his father by boss
Howard Hughes. Theyd play the results during
house parties.
All our friends were smart
enough to say, Oh, thats really
good, or theyd get kicked out of
the party, Dean remembers, but
the recordings showed promise.
We did realize our songs could
stand up to other peoples songs.
Dean was drafted ....into the
U.S. Army Reserve, his soul
mate...Berry and Barons band-
mate Arnie Ginsburg recorded the
single Jennie Lee without him.
The song peaked at No. 8 on the
Billboard charts in June 1958 and
earned Jan & Arnie an appearance
on ABCs The Dick Clark Show.
Six months of playing soldier
and Ginsburg lost interest in
show business. The two remain-
ing song stirs united as Jan &
Dean, and scored a No. 10 slot
with Baby Talk in 1959.
More and more hits: the No. 1 single Surf
City, written by Berry and Brian Wilson of The
Beach Boys, (a hit that was somewhat of a surprise
to all of them).
Dean didn't think anyone outside the West Coast
would be interested in a song about surfing. Good
news, bad news...more and more people wanted
the promise of Southern California...more and
more people came.
1966, Jan & Dean were at the top of their game,
riding high on the success of a 1964 concert film,
The T.A.M.I. Show, and a handful of
hit albums. The duo was even
eyeing an ABC sitcom, Jan
& Dean on the Run, slated
to debut the same season
as NBCs The Mon-
kees.
April 1966, Berry was
involved in a serious car
accident that left him with brain damage and par-
tial paralysis on his right side.
While Jan was recovering, Dean released sev-
eral singles and the 1966 concept album Save for
a Rainy Day, featuring rain-themed songs. (An-
other Jan & Dean concept album, the psychedelic
Carnival of Sound, wasnt released until 2010.)
New adventure for Dean, designer and very
good at it...he launched a graphic design company,
Kittyhawk, and began creating album covers and
logos for the stars like The Beach Boys, Steve
Martin, Linda Rondstadt, and Diana Ross and the
Supremes. Dean, with a degree in advertising de-
sign from the USC, shared a 1971 Grammy Award
for Best Album Cover with photographer Gene
Brownell for a Pollution album.
Return to touring:
Jan & Deans return to the Stage of Rock n Roll
was in 1978 in the wake of the CBS television
movie Deadmans Curve, starring Bruce David-
son as Torrence and Richard Hatch as Berry.
Dean admits...That movie helped tremen-
dously It was pretty powerful, Within six
months of it first airing we went directly from not
doing anything musically to performing with the
Beach Boys at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh.
While performing for Barry became very diffi
cult...Jan & Dean enjoyed more than 20 additional
years together before Berrys death.
It wasn't easy for either Jan or Dean and Dean
had to wind down his 2nd and successful return to
the Jan & Dean experience.
Without Barry...Dean carries on The Jan &
Dean Show backed by the Surf City All-Stars.
Dean says it is basically the same band...Dean
joined the Beach Boys onstage
during their 50th Anniversary
Reunion Tour in 2012. The
only one thats missing is Jan.
Dean has been a long time
resident of Huntington Beach.
Dean has been a corner stone of
community life. Whether help-
ing charities, participating in the
visitors Bureau or just being a
good fiend...Dean Torrence is an
Icon, as much a part of Surf City
USA as the Pier itself.
And...just in...How about mo-
torcycles, Taipei and Rock n
Roll...
Dean will accompany 19
other international motorcyclists
and make a bike trip from the
southern county of Pingtung to
Taichung in central Taiwan and
Taroko Gorge in eastern Tai-
wan. Along the way, there will
be concerts in Pingtung Sept. 28, Taichung Oct. 1
and Kaohsiung Oct. 5, all featuring the surf music
craze, said Starr, an editor at Motorcyclist Maga-
zine.
The trip has been organized in collaboration
with the Hondao Senior Citizen's Welfare Founda-
tion to pay tribute to Taiwan's "Grandriders," a
group of older motorbike enthusiasts who inspired
international motorcyclists to ride in pursuit of
their dreams.
Starr, a 70-year-old cancer survivor who led a
similar group around Taiwan last October, said this
year there will be more riders from
the U.S., Australia and England.
The international aspect of the
Grandriders is growing, he
said.
Dean... living tribute to all
that was fun about the 1960's
and beyond.

T
hree firearm-related crimes in Huntington Beach recently, with one resident suffering injuries, according to a
Huntington Beach Police Department. Could it be something in the Water?
First, Sunday, a usual day of prayer and worship for Surf city residents was interrupted by a shotgun being fired into
a local apartment window. Seems like some local residents had a disagreement...leading to two neighbors, according to
a police report firing off more then their mouths Fear nit, it is Surf City...the report said the weapon was actually a BB
gun...the suspect was arrested. We do not know if it was an assault style BB gun or not.
Then, earlier Sunday, police responded to a call after a neighbor allegedly struck their neighbor with a handgun during
an argument, according to an incident report. Police arrested the suspect and seized the firearm. This apparently was not
a BB gun.
Kind of retro...on Saturday morning, locals (obviously not at Synagogue) reported gunshots in an alley. Police found
bullet casings in the alley and discovered that
rounds had penetrated a vehicle and an apartment,
according to a police department post on
Facebook. No injuries were reported
except of course the car and the
apartment wall.
Other than that most of
the community went on
to their children's
sports activities,
surfing, brunch
and of course

Surf City Up In Arms!
Consider This: During the most recent reporting period, Americans
personal income dropped 3.6% and our combined taxpayer
IRS payments will be the highest in history!
HEY, WASN'T THIS US?
A little house with three bedrooms,
one bathroom and one car on the street.
A mower that you had to push
to make the grass look neat.
In the kitchen on the wall
we only had one phone,
And no need for recording things,
someone was always home.
We only had a living room
where we would congregate,
unless it was at mealtime
in the kitchen where we ate.
We had no need for family rooms
or extra rooms to dine.
When meeting as a family
those two rooms would workout fine.
We only had one TV set
and channels maybe two,
But always there was one of them
with something worth the view.
For snacks we had potato chips
that tasted like a chip.
And if you wanted flavor
there was Lipton's onion dip.
Store-bought snacks were rare because
my mother liked to cook
and nothing can compare to snacks
in Betty Crocker's book.
Weekends were for family trips
or staying home to play.
We all did things together --
even go to church to pray.
When we did our weekend trips
depending on the weather,
no one stayed at home because
we liked to be together.
Sometimes we would separate
to do things on our own,
but we knew where the others were
without our own cell phone.
Then there were the movies
with your favorite movie star,
and nothing can compare
to watching movies in your car.
Then there were the picnics
at the peak of summer season,
pack a lunch and find some trees
and never need a reason.
Get a baseball game together
with all the friends you know,
have real action playing ball --
and no game video.
Remember when the doctor
used to be the family friend,
and didn't need insurance
or a lawyer to defend?
The way that he took care of you
or what he had to do,
because he took an oath and strived
to do the best for you.
Remember going to the store
and shopping casually,
and when you went to pay for it
you used your own money?
Nothing that you had to swipe
or punch in some amount,
and remember when the cashier person
had to really count?
The milkman used to go
from door to door,
And it was just a few
cents more
than going to the store.
There was a time when
mailed letters
came right to your door,
without a lot of junk mail ads
sent out by every store.
The mailman knew each house by name
and knew where it was sent;
there were not loads of mail addressed
to"present occupant."
There was a time when just one glance
was all that it would take,
and you would know the kind of car,
the model and the make.
They didn't look like turtles
trying to squeeze out every mile;
they were streamlined, white walls, fins
and really had some style.
One time the music that you played
whenever you would jive,
was from a vinyl, big-holed record
called a forty-five.
The record player had a post
to keep them all in line
and then the records would drop down
and play one at a time.
Oh sure, we had our problems then,
just
like we
do today
and always
we were striving,
trying for a better
way.
Oh, the simple life we lived
still seems like so much fun,
how can you explain a game,
just kick the can and run?
And why would boys put baseball cards
between bicycle spokes
and for a nickel, red machines
had little bottled Cokes?
This life seemed so much easier
and slower in some ways.
I love the new technology
but I sure do miss those days.
So time moves on and so do we
and nothing stays the same,
but I sure love to reminisce
and walk down memory lane.
With all today's technology
we grant that it's a plus!
But it's fun to look way back and say,
Hey look, guys, THAT WAS US!
I went fishing one morning but after
a short time I ran out of worms.Then
I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in
his mouth. Frogs are good bass bait.
Knowing the snake couldn't bite
me with the frog in his mouth I
grabbed him right behind the
head, took the frog, and put it in
my bait bucket.
Now the dilemma was how
to release the snake without
getting bit. So, I grabbed my
bottle of Jack Daniels and
poured a little whiskey in its
mouth. His eyes rolled back,
he went limp. I released him
into the lake without inci-
dent and carried on fishing
using the frog.
A little later, I felt a nudge on
my foot. It was that damn
snake, with two more frogs.
We believe and practice being fully involved with the communities we serve.
This is essential in building good will, encouraging growth and above all staying connected in our backyard

Chris
MacDonald
On the road in Surf City
By Chris MacDonald, Writer/Photographer,
HB Ambassador/The Local News Columnist
The Local News
L
ike many of you, Ive
watched my share of those
kitchen shows in which the
best chef wins, or something to
that effect. But the stories have be-
come more personal as I flipped on
the TV recently and saw someone
I actually knew in a series called
Kitchen Nightmares on Fox.
The Cristiano family, owners of
Ninos Italian Restaurant in Long
Beach, were featured re-
cently on the series with
Chef Gordon Ramsay, a Brit
who visits failing restaurants
and shakes things up,
trying
to kick-start them back into
success. It was shocking,
watching friends air their dirty
laundry on TV. They had to
swallow their pride as Ramsay
took his dinner knife and
began scraping bubble gum
wads under the table where he
was served 5-day old meat-
balls as a dinner guest. It went
downhill even more before
Ramsay had the place remodeled
and worked with the kitchen staff
on menus. Hopefully, it is on its
way to becoming a must "eat."
Recently, I was riding along Pa-
cific Coast Highway and saw the
impish, straight-shooter chef back
at it again on Huntington City
Beach (near 9th Street) filming an-
other Fox TV series called, "Master
Chef." He hired 101 surfer extras
to be a part of the action and re-
portedly paid them $100 each for
their time. Gary Sahagen, Presi-
dent of The Huntington Beach
Longboard Crew, said it was a fun
gig. "Chef Ramsey was very enter-
taining. The surf and the fish tacos
were great. A joyful time was had
by all."
In addition to owning a series of
restaurants in England, Ramsay is
riding the wave of success in a va-
riety of food-drama shows for Fox
network. In this on-location
episode there are surfboards and
plenty of props to liven up what
might otherwise be just another
food contest show. For show-
times, casting call locations and
dates, see www.fox.com!

uffs Post...Gay voices uses a Magnum 44 to let us
know what Eastwood is up to these days...Holly-
wood legend Clint Eastwood has taken his well-pub-
licized support of same-sex marriage one step further, calling
upon the U.S. Supreme Court to drop Prop 8.
As Breitbart's Mike Flynn reports, the Oscar-winning actor
and director joined more than 100 Republicans in signing a
Supreme Court-bound brief in favor of allowing lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender (LGBT) couples the right to legally
wed in California.
Flynn describes Eastwood as a "long-time Republican with
strong libertarian leanings," and says that signing the Supreme
Court briefs implies that he "is going to stay active in the po-
litical landscape."
One of Eastwoods representatives and a spokesman for the
American Foundation for Equal Rights, the group spearhead-
ing opposition to Californias law banning same-sex marriage,
confirmed the news to NBC.
Former Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman
and GOP strategist Steve Schmidt are among the other high-
profile names to sign the brief, CBS News reports.
The 82-year-old Eastwood discussed his generally pro-
same-sex marriage stance in a September 2012 appearance
on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show. "The condition of society
right now, with the high unemployment rates and the
tremendous debt we're increasing and the government
spending, we'd think there'd be [many more worthy issues]
to think about [rather] that worrying about gay marriage,"
he told DeGeneres.
In 2011, Eastwood similarly told GQ magazine, "I dont
give a f**k about who wants to get married to anybody else!
Why not?! Were making a big deal out of things we shouldnt
be making a deal out of ... Just give everybody the chance to
have the life they want."
Z
ach Bowman of
Auto Blog says...
"Los Angeles is
moving forward with a
plan to ease traffic con-
gestion by synchronizing
all of the city's 4,398
stoplights. While smaller
municipalities have fol-
lowed similar plans in
the past, LA is the first
major city to take a stab
at getting all of its lights
to play nice together. If it
works, the new system
could increase average
traffic speeds by 16 per-
cent and reduce travel
times by 12 percent. We
imaging reducing the
amount of time cars
spend idling at a stop
light should help reduce
fuel consumption by a
decent margin as well.
LA Mayor Antonio
Villaraigosa has said the
move will reduce the
city's carbon emissions
by one metric ton while
saving drivers one day of
waiting in traffic at the
same time. The system
can also be utilized by
emergency responders to
reduce response times
for ambulances and fire
trucks.

an you image...who knew: as of last year, a new 7-
Eleven store opens every two hours somewhere in
the world. Currently, there are more than 10,000,
7-Eleven stores in North America (U.S., Canada and Mex-
ico) and they expect the 50,000th store to open in late
March or early April (don't know where)....could be in
Huntington Beach, Ca.
7-ELEVEN FUN FACTS 2013
7-Eleven, Inc. is the worlds retail store chain with
some 50,000 stores in 16 countries, of which close to
10,100 are in North America.
7-Eleven adds another store to its worldwide operations
every 2 hours.
For more than 18 years, 7-Eleven has been listed
among Hispanic Magazines Corporate 100, the top com-
panies providing the most opportunities to Hispanics.
7-Elevens accolades include:
#2 on Forbes magazines 2012 list of Top Franchises
for the Money
#4 spot on Entrepreneur magazines Franchise 500 list
for 2013
#2 in Forbes magazines Top 20 Franchises to Start
#3 among Top 100 Global Franchises by Franchise Di-
rect
Ranked in the Top 50 of the 2013 Franchise 500 by
Americas Best Franchises
One of GI Jobs magazines Top 100 Military-Friendly
Employers
#1 in Store Growth by Convenience Store News
#2 in Franchise Times Top 200 Franchise Companies
#6 in AllBusiness AllStar Franchise ranking
#29 among Top 100 Chains in Food Service.
7-Eleven received the 2010
Retailer of the Year from PL
Buyer because of the
company's private-brand
initiative.
July 11 (7/11) is
the official
birthday of
the 7-Eleven convenience store chain, this year celebrat-
ing its 86th birthday.
In 1927, convenience retailing began simply enough
when an employee of Southland Ice Company in Dallas
started selling milk, eggs and bread from the ice dock.
Soon, the first convenience store was born and became
known as 7-Eleven to reflect its 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. hours
of operation.
7-Eleven was the first
retailer to: operate 24
hours a day sell fresh-
brewed coffee in to-go
cups ... have a self-serve
soda fountain and offer
super-size drinks.
7-Eleven has the largest
ATM network of any re-
tailer in United States.
7-Eleven was the first c-
store retailer to give cus-
tomers freedom of
choice by offering all
major soft drink brands at
the self-serve fountain.
7-Eleven was the first
convenience store to sell
pre-paid phone cards.
The first convenience
store to advertise on tele-
vision, 7-Elevens ani-
mated commercial aired in
1949 and featured a
singing owl and rooster.
Of all U.S. retailers, 7-
Eleven sells the most: USA Today newspapers, Sports
Illustrated magazines, cold beer, cold single-serve bottled
water, cold Gatorade, fresh-grilled hot dogs, single-serve
chips and money orders.
One-third of the 5.4 million people who stop by a 7-
Eleven store each day in the USA purchase immediately
consumable food.
7-Eleven is one of Americas favorite beverage desti-
nations. Each day, more than half of its customers pur-
chase a non-alcoholic beverage.
A typical 7-Eleven store is between 2,400 and
3,000 square feet, and carries about 2,500 differ-
ent items.
Whos buying the most merchandise at
U.S. 7-Eleven stores? The answer is the
most Slurpee beverages in Detroit, hot
dogs in Washington, D.C., coffee on Long
Island, nachos in Colorado, and Big
Gulp drinks in sunny Southern Califor-
nia.
California has more 7-Eleven stores than
any other state approximately 1,500.
Approximately 25 percent of the U.S. pop-
ulation lives within 1 mile of a 7-Eleven
store.
Of all its proprietary products, 7-Eleven
sells more fresh-brewed coffee than anything
else 1 million cups each day. Thats more
than 10,000 pots of coffee an hour every hour
of every day of the year. In fact, 7-Eleven
could serve a cup of coffee to every person in
its hometown of Dallas every single day now
thats a Texas-sized coffee break!
If every 7-Eleven coffee cup sold in a year
was laid end to end, they would encircle the
earth.
Ho ho ho! The day most retailers are closed,
7-Eleven is hopping. Christmas is one of the
busiest sales days of the year.
7-Eleven sells approximately 100 million fresh-
grilled hot dogs every year, more than any other
retailer in America, and could feed every person
in hot dog-loving Chicago a Big Bite hot dog
each day for a month.
In 2012, 7-Eleven stores sold 136 million chicken
wings since the hot foods program started in 2007.
7-Eleven stores sell almost 38 million gallons of
fountain drinks a year enough to fill 51 Olympic-
size swimming pools.
7-Eleven customers sip and slurp about 13 million
Slurpee beverages each month. Favorite flavors
are Coca-Cola and Fanta Cherry. Since being intro-
duced in 1966, close to 6.5 billion Slurpee drinks have
been sold, almost enough for every person on the
planet to slurp.
7-Eleven coined the term brain freeze in 1994 to
communicate the painful joy of drinking a frozen
Slurpee beverage.
7-Eleven sells 195 million fresh-baked goods per year
enough to feed every person in the state of Virginia 2
dozen items! On average, 7-Eleven sells 372 fresh bak-
ery items every minute.
If you lined up all the fresh bakery items made for 7-
Eleven in a year, they would extend almost 6,000 miles
from Boston to San Diego and back again.
How sweet it is! 7-Eleven uses 365,000 pounds of
glaze each month on its donuts, fritters and other pastries.
Most customers want a beverage with their favorite
donut half choose a cup of 7-Eleven coffee.
Blueberry is at the top of the hill as the best-selling 7-
Eleven muffin across the country.
7-Eleven sells 37 million gallons of milk each year
enough to pour two glasses of milk for every man,
woman and child in the United States. To produce that
much milk would take a herd of more than 16,000 cows.
To equal the number of 7-Eleven hot dogs sold in a
year, every Yankees baseball team fan would need to eat
38 hot dogs at each of the teams baseball games.
The annual volume of beer sales at 7-Eleven stores is
the equivalent to two minutes of water running over Ni-
agara Falls.
7-Eleven sells enough soft drinks to supply each per-
son in the state of Pennsylvania a 20-oz. soft drink per
month.
Each week, trucks from the Combined Distribution
Centers that deliver fresh foods daily to 7-Eleven stores
run the equivalent of 47 round trips between Boston and
Los Angeles.
7-Eleven uses more than 1 million cubic feet of coffee
beans per year. That is more than the volume of 5
Goodyear blimps.
To haul the gallons of fuel sold each year at 7-Eleven
stores would take a convoy of tanker trucks stretched end
to end from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles.
If all the prepaid cards sold on an average day at 7-
Eleven were placed end to end, they would span more
than 30 football fields.
Each second, 7-Eleven stores sell 1 case of non-car-
bonated drinks.
7-Eleven sells more than 4,885 fresh sandwiches per
hour.
On an average day, 7-Eleven sells enough ice to fill 5
ice skating rinks. Hot holidays are another story on
July 4th, the ice sold at 7-Eleven stores could fill 20
rinks.
Enough fountain drinks are sold at 7-Eleven stores in
a year to fill Disneyworlds Typhoon Lagoon twice.
Based on the number of bagged chips 7-Eleven stores
sell in a year, every person in New York City, Los Ange-
les and Chicago could pack a bag of chips in their school
or work lunchbox for two weeks.
D
owntown, Huntington Beach...will be a franchise store.
It is planned to be a 24 hour business and to open at the
end of March. Surprisingly, there will be No alcohol sales at
this location...imagine that...could be the only store in Down-
town Surf city USA that does not sell alcohol!
Picture this... this store will have some indoor window
seating for customers to enjoy their food and beverages.
Now, will this be the first 7-Eleven Restaurant?
The franchisee will be Makhtar Kamara. He is new to
the 7-Eleven system but comes with extensive multi-unit,
convenience-store-industry experience that I am sure he
will need in competitive HB.
Welcome the 50,000th or so 7-Eleven. God know we
need reasonably priced conveniences in this Main Street
by the Sea...at least I do and I live 3 block away.
Look our NYC...Mayor Bloomberg... the Slurpee is
alive and well in Surf City!
7-Eleven an American Success Story...

A new bill introduced this week in the California Senate would take some of the most aggressive action
to date to force youth organizations to embrace homosexuality and gender identity.
SB 323, sponsored by Equality California and introduced by Sen. Ricardo Lara (D Long Beach) threatens
to revoke tax exempt status for a wide range of youth groups unless they agree to abandon any criteria re-
lated to gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, and other categories.
The bill was designed to pressure the Boy Scouts to accept homosexuality, but its sweep goes much further.
The bill specifically targets groups ranging from the Scouts to Special Olympics, Little League, Pop Warner,
4-H, Future Farmers of America, as well as youth sports in general.
It also references private schools and youth groups.
Attorneys with Pacific Justice Institute are assessing all the poten-
tial implications of SB 323 and will be vigorously opposing it. From
the plain text of this bill, it is clear to us that SB 323 is one of the
most outrageous bills we have seen in Californiaand thats saying
a lot, said Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute. We
have been warning for years that the gay lobby would eventually use
tax exemptions to force non-profits to capitulate to their demands,
but its still shocking to see it actually in print and on its way to be-
coming law.
Because SB 323 would have the effect of a massive tax increase
on non-profits that stand by their principles, it requires 2/3 approval
in both Senate and Assembly. This higher threshold makes it even
more important that Californians call and visit their legislators to
protest. PJI will provide updates throughout the legislative process.
P
olice Chief Small and Mothers Against Drunk
Drivers (MADD) representative Cynthia Wong
honored the MADD Awardees at the Council meet-
ing this past Monday. Ms. Wong presented a plaque on
behalf of MADD to the following nine officers with 25-
99 DUI arrests in 2012:
Officer Smiley (78 arrests)
Officer Demetre (69 arrests)
Officer Wilson (57 arrests)
Officer Altenbach (40 arrests)
Officer Baker (40 arrests)
Officer Van Meter (34 arrests)
Officer Dexter (32 arrests)
Officer Knorr (27 arrests)
Officer Frahm (25 arrests)
With more than 100 DUI arrests in 2012, Officer Huynh and
Sergeant Dereszynski will be honored at a luncheon later this
week at the Nixon Library.

ast weeks
announce-
ment by Fox that
it will launch a
24-hour all sports channel this summer may end
up being the biggest sports news of the year. And
that prediction is made even though we are barely
one-sixth of the way through the 2013 calendar.
Fox Sports 1 was a long time in the making.
Rupert Murdoch, the mastermind behind Fox
world-wide media empire, has contemplated a
sports channel to compete with ESPN for almost
two decades. Thats why the March 5 announce-
ment hardly came as a surprise to anyone, in or
out of the media. What may be surprising are the
similarities between FS1 and ESPN beyond the
fact they are both sports channels. The compa-
nies currently carry some similar programming,
including NASCAR races, Major League Base-
ball, professional soccer and college football and
basketball. Unlike Fox, ESPN also carries the
NBA and holds the exclusive rights to the newly
created BCS playoffs.
But Fox has its own trump card. For the past
year-and-a-half, Fox has carried Ultimate Fight-
ing Championship (UFC) programming on sev-
eral of its channels. When FS1 goes live on
August 17, it will be the exclusive carrier of
UFC programming, except for four cards per
year that will appear on Fox. That may not be a
big deal to most television viewers, but it is to
advertisers. Mixed Martial Arts is all the rage,
at least among the coveted 18-34-year-old and
18-49-year-old male demographics.
After Fox staged its New York news confer-
ence to announce the formation of FS1, it didnt
parade out representatives of the teams and
leagues that highlighted its sports programming
similarities with ESPN. Instead, UFC president
Dana White took over center stage and intro-
duced several of his champion fighters, one
black, one Hispanic and one white, to a gathering
of 1,300 potential advertisers. Included in the
group was the popular womens bantamweight
champion, Ronda Rousey.
Still not impressed? Heres why you should be.
The UFC appeals to all races and genders. While
I dont get the staged bloodletting and mayhem
of MMA, others do. A recent Saturday night card
broadcast from Japan drew an average of 485,000
viewers on one of Foxs hard-to-locate niche net-
works called Fuel TV.
OK, so we arent talking about the Super Bowl
with its 100 million plus audience on CBS, NBC
or Fox. But in a world with 1,000 programming
options, the UFC can more than hold its own,
boasting numbers that are sure to increase with
additional exposure. And soon, the primary
viewing option for UFC events will be FS1. Ad-
vantage: FS1.
Will FS1 supplant ESPN as the World Wide
Leader in sports programming? Dont bet on it,
certainly not in the short term. But if FS1 does
cut into ESPNs viewership within the next five
years, it may have to give a big assist to UFC.

CHICKEN SOUP
If your grandmother always said you
should have chicken soup when you have a
cold because it will make you feel better, our
data would certainly support that," says
Stephen Rennard, MD, University of Ne-
braska. His research suggests that chicken
soup prevents cells in the body, called neu-
trophils, from increasing mucus production,
and could work as an anti-inflammatory dur-
ing a cold. Therefore, including chicken soup
in your cold remedies makes scientific sense.
HONEY
Many Everyday Health members add
honey to their cold remedies, and some evi-
dence shows that this might be useful for
cold and flu symptoms. In a recent study
from the Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent
Medicine, parents of 105 kids with upper
respiratory infections rated honey higher
than cough medicine for relieving overnight
cough and sleep difficulty. Honey can sore
throat irritation.
GARLIC
When cold and flu symptoms begin, many
Everyday Health members reach for garlic.
They consume it crushed, steeped in hot
water, or in capsule form. Garlic could be
helpful in preventing colds. In one study, 146
people took a garlic supplement or placebo
for 12 weeks. The people in the garlic group
had less than half the number of colds,
though their recovery time was similar.
GREEN TEA
If you'd like to avoid cold and flu symp-
toms, perhaps a cup of green tea is in order.
In a recent study, a group who took green tea
capsules twice daily for 12 weeks had 32
percent fewer participants with cold and flu
symptoms and 36 percent fewer days with
symptoms than the group taking a placebo.
As a result, the University of Florida re-
searchers called this remedy "safe and effec-
tive" for preventing cold and flu symptoms.
ECHINACEA
When adding cold remedies to your arse-
nal, Echinacea may be useful for preventing
cold and flu symptoms. A recent study com-
bining the results of 14 earlier studies found
that echinacea reduced the odds of develop-
ing a cold by 58 percent and decreased the
duration of a cold by nearly a day and a half.
These findings support echinacea's benefit in
protecting you from colds, the authors wrote.
ELDERBERRY
One of the cold remedies that Everyday
Health members seek out is elderberry. They
might have reason to believe that elderberry
extract could ease cold and flu symptoms. In
two studies, people with early flu symptoms
who took an elderberry extract were more
likely to have improvement or resolution of
their symptoms within a few days compared
to those who took a placebo."

P
eople who are injured in an accident can suffer many
different kinds of injuries. Among the most serious,
as well as the hardest to diagnose and treat, are so-
called traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), sometimes also
know as closed-head trauma. TBIs send more then
400,000 people to the hospital for treatment each year,
three-quarters of whom are males between the ages
of 15 and 34. This group is over-represented be-
cause of the lifestyle that many of the accident
victims lead: riding motorcycles with helmet,
participating in dangerous sports, drinking
too much, and getting into car accidents. Al-
though the majority of these injuries are
moderate to mild, even a minor TBI can
cause the victim to suffer serious problem.
Difficulty Treating TBIs
The problem with treating TBIs is
that man doctors are not adequately
trained in the neuroscience of head
injuries and are unable to properly
diagnose the injury when they en-
counter one. Although most doctors are
capable of recognizing serious TBIs (such
as those that put a victim in a coma), the
less debilitating TBIs are more difficult to
diagnose because there are often few out-
ward signs of the internal injury. This mis-
understanding of the symptoms of moderate TBIs has
a number of serious negative consequences, both medical
and legal.
Many people who suffer such
TBIs do not receive the appro-
priate treatment. The long-term
effects of a TBI can include
many and varied symptoms, often related to brain functions,
such as seizures, head-aches, dizziness, and problems with
memory and concentration. However, TBIs can cause other
symptoms not commonly associated with the brain, includ-
ing loss of motors control, fatigue depression, speech disor-
ders, anxiety, sexual dysfunction, and a
short temper, as well as an in-
creased chance of getting lost
or becoming agitated.
Given the variety of
symptoms and the dif-
ficulty some doctors
have connecting
them to TBI, treat-
ment is often de-
layed or not
provided at all, and
the patient continues
to suffer, often un-
aware of the cause of
the problems. Even
when a TBI victim has
been correctly diagnosed, the
variety of symptoms can make
treatment expensive and diffi-
cult.
Legal Obstacles
Legally, it is often difficult to
prove that symptoms suffered by a TBI victim are directly re-
lated to the
TBI. Because
doctors can be
slow to diag-
nose the con-
n e c t i o n ,
proving that
a TBI has
caused the
symptoms that a person describes to the injury in court can
be difficult.
Compounding the problem of the doctors slow diagnosis,
many of the people who serve on juries have trouble believing
that a head injury can cause so many different problems, not
all of which are related to the victims brain function. All of
these factors make it more difficult for a TBI victims to win
a full recovery of damages for the injury.
Lessons Learned
Several lessons can be drawn from this. If you have suf-
fered a TBI, even a minor one, and are suffering from
symptoms that you never experienced before being injured,
stay on top of your health care providers. While not all
symptoms that a person may suffer from are necessarily
cause by a TBI, the range of symptoms is great and it may
take some time to get a correct diagnosis.
If you are involved in a lawsuit where you or a loved one
suffered a TBI, be sure to retain qualified counsel to help
you prepare and present what can be a difficult and com-
plex case. This way you can help ensure that you are fully
compensated for all of the injuries
that you or yours have suffered.

PAULINE JELINEK says... USPO...
"apparently trying an end-run around an un-
accommodating Congress. (Now that's a
shocker)...the financially struggling U.S.
Postal Service says it will stop delivering
mail on Saturdays but continue to disburse
packages six days a week.
In an announcement
scheduled for later
Wednesday, the
service is ex-
pected to say the
Saturday mail
cutback would
begin in August
and could save
$2 billion annu-
ally.
The move ac-
centuates one of the
agency's strong points
package delivery has in-
creased by 14 percent since 2010, officials
say, while the delivery of letters and other
mail has declined with the increasing use of
email and other Internet services.
Under the new plan, mail would be deliv-
ered to homes and businesses only from
Monday through Friday, but would still be
delivered to post office boxes on Saturdays.
Post offices now open on Saturdays would
remain open on Saturdays.
Over the past several years, the Postal
Service has advocated shifting to a five-day
delivery schedule for mail and packages
and it repeatedly but unsuccessfully ap-
pealed to Congress to approve the move.
Though an independent agency, the service
gets no tax dollars for its day-to-day opera-
tions but is subject to congressional control.
It was not immediately clear how the
service could eliminate Saturday mail with-
out congressional approval.
But the agency clearly thinks it has a ma-
jority of the American public on its side re-
garding the change.
Material prepared for the Wednesday
press conference by Patrick R. Donahoe,
postmaster general and CEO, says Postal
Service market research and other research
has indicated that nearly 7 in 10 Americans
support the switch to five-day delivery as a
way for the Postal Service to reduce costs.
But the president of the National Associ-
ation of Letter Carriers, Fredric Rolando,
said the end of Saturday mail delivery is "a
disastrous idea that would have a profoundly
negative effect on the Postal Service and on
millions of customers," particularly busi-
nesses, rural communities, the elderly, the
disabled and others who depend on Saturday
delivery for commerce and communication.
He said the maneuver by Donahoe to
make the change "flouts the will of Con-
gress, as expressed annually over the past
30 years in legislation that mandates six-
day delivery."
There was no immediate comment from
lawmakers. But others agreed the Postal
Service had little choice but to try.
The Postal Service is making the an-
nouncement Wednesday, more than six
months before the switch, to give residential
and business customers time to plan and ad-
just, the statement said.
"The American pub-
lic understands the fi-
nancial challenges
of the Postal Serv-
ice and supports
these steps as a re-
sponsible and rea-
sonable approach
to improving our fi-
nancial situation,"
Donahoe said. "The
Postal Service has a
responsibility to take the
steps necessary to return to
long-term financial stability and en-
sure the continued affordability of the U.S.
Mail."
He said the change would mean a combi-
nation of employee reassignment and attri-
tion and is expected to achieve cost savings
of approximately $2 billion annually when
fully implemented.
The agency in November reported an
annual loss of a record $15.9 billion for the
last budget year and forecast more red ink
in 2013, capping a tumultuous year in
which it was forced to default on billions
in retiree health benefit prepayments to
avert bankruptcy.
The financial losses for the fiscal year
ending Sept. 30 were more than triple the
$5.1 billion loss in the previous year. Having
reached its borrowing limit, the mail agency
is operating with little cash on hand.
The agency's biggest problem and the
majority of the red ink in 2012 was not due
to reduced mail flow but rather to mounting
mandatory costs for future retiree health
benefits, which made up $11.1 billion of the
losses. Without that and other related labor
expenses, the mail agency sustained an op-
erating loss of $2.4 billion, lower than the
previous year.
The health payments are a requirement
imposed by Congress in 2006 that the post
office set aside $55 billion in an account to
cover future medical costs for retirees. The
idea was to put $5.5 billion a year into the
account for 10 years. That's $5.5 billion the
post office doesn't have.
No other government agency is required
to make such a payment for future medical
benefits. Postal authorities wanted Congress
to address the issue last year, but lawmakers
finished their session without getting it done.
So officials are moving ahead to accelerate
their own plan for cost-cutting.
The Postal Service is in the midst of a
major restructuring throughout its retail, de-
livery and mail processing operations. Since
2006, it has cut annual costs by about $15
billion, reduced the size of its career work-
force by 193,000 or by 28 percent, and has
consolidated more than 200 mail processing
locations, officials say.

Dear EarthTalk:
Theres been a lot
of coverage on the
topic of organic foods
and how they arent actually any
healthier than conventional foods. Is this true?
~ Gina Thompson, Salem, OR
There is no doubt that organic foods are healthierfor our
bodies individually as well as for the environmentthan their
conventionally produced counterparts. The question is how
much healthier and does the difference warrant spending
more on your grocery bill.
Conventional food is produced using synthetic chemical
inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, hormones and antibiotics
to repel pests, boost growth and improve the yield of mar-
ketable product. It stands to reason that trace amounts of these
chemicals are likely to get ingested into our bodies.
Before such chemicals became widely available, most food
was produced organically. Recent awareness about the dan-
gers of synthetic chemicals and antibiotic resistance has trig-
gered a renewed interest in organic food. As a result organic
farms constitute the fastest growing sector of the U.S. agri-
culture industry. Given that these farms are smaller and have
more of a niche clientele, they must charge more for organic
products. These costs get passed on to consumers willing to
spend extra to be healthy.
But after surveying over 200 other studies comparing or-
ganic and conventional foods and in some cases their effects
on the body, Stanford medical researchers found that, while
eating organic produce can lower exposure to pesticides, the
amount measured from conventionally grown produce was
also well within safety limits. They also found that organic
foods were not particularly more nutritious than non-organic
foods. The findings were published in the Annals of Internal
Medicine in September 2012.
The one area where the team found a divergence was re-
garding antibiotic-resistant germs in meats. While the chances
of bacterial contamination are
the same for organic and
non-organic meats, germs in
conventionally raised
chicken and pork had a 33
percent higher risk of being
resistant to multiple antibi-
otics. Many farmers and
ranchers rely on antibiotics
to fatten up their animals and
keep them healthy until
slaughter, but converting to
more organic meat could
help stem the oncoming tide
of antibiotic resistance that
threatens to make many of
our medicines obsolete.
Of course, consumers may
opt for organic foods despite
the lack of much difference
in nutritional content or
chemical residues. Accord-
ing to the Mayo Clinic, a
non-profit medical care and research institution and a leading
voice on public health and health maintenance, some people
simply prefer the taste of organic food. Others like organic
food because it doesnt typically contain preservatives, arti-
ficial sweeteners, coloring and flavorings. Meanwhile, others
take a longer-term view and go organic for the sake of the en-
vironment, as organic agriculture reduces pollution and con-
serves water and soil quality.
If youre trying to be both healthy and frugal, selectively
buying organic is one option. The Environmental Working
Group (EWG) publishes its Shoppers Guide to Pesticides in
Produce each year to let consumers know which produce
have the most pesticide residues and are the most important
to buy organic. EWGs 2012 dirty dozen non-organic foods
to avoid were apples, celery, sweet bell peppers, peaches,
strawberries, imported nectarines, grapes, spinach, lettuce,
cucumbers, blueberries and potatoes.

David White, a wine writer, is the founder
and editor of Terroirist.com. His columns
are housed at Palate Press: The Online Wine
Magazine (PalatePress.com)
T
wice in the past three months, the wine
world has been rocked by news from
Robert Parker, the world's most famous
wine critic.
In December, Parker announced that he'd sold a "sub-
stantial interest" in the Wine Advocate, the influential
magazine he founded in 1978, to a trio of Singapore-
based investors -- and that he'd relinquished editorial con-
trol. In February, one of Parker's top critics, Antonio
Galloni, said that he'd left the publication to start an on-
line enterprise.
Parker, who popularized the 100-point scale for re-
viewing wine, is nearly 66. So he can't be faulted for
wanting to slow down. But thanks to this pair of stories,
oenophiles finally seem ready to admit that wine criticism
is changing. Consumers don't need -- or want -- central-
ized gatekeepers telling them what they should or should-
n't drink. Consumers still need advisors, of course, but
when today's consumers want information, they're willing
to look past professional critics and instead turn to friends
and trusted networks.
With travel, restaurants, movies, and so much else, this
trend would hardly be worthy of commentary. Tri-
pAdvisor long
ago supplanted paper-based guides like Frommer's. Yelp
is now the holy grail of restaurant reviews, and local
blogs are increasingly influential. With movies, opening
the local newspaper for commentary no longer makes
sense when you can check out dozens of reviews on Rot-
ten Tomatoes.
With wine, however, this shift runs counter to so much
of what's sacred. Everything about wine -- the bizarre
tasting rituals, knowledge of obscure regions and vari-
etals, and identifying good values -- is supposed to be
handed down from on high. Consumers are supposed to
decide what to drink based on the advice of prominent
wine critics -- not mere amateurs.
But it's obvious that consumers are growing comfort-
able dismissing gatekeepers.
Look at CellarTracker. Ten years ago, Eric LeVine, a
Microsoft executive, built a data-management program
for his wine cellar. When he showed the program to some
friends, they begged him to share it. So he put the pro-
gram online, where friends could track their personal in-
ventories and share tasting notes. LeVine then decided to
make his program available to
everyone, for free.
Today, about 800,000 people
visit the site each month, and more
than 2,200 wines are reviewed on
the site each day. This means Cel-
larTracker users review more
wines in just six days than
Robert Parker reviews in an
entire year.
The site isn't just used by
wine junkies -- about 90 per-
cent of its visitors aren't regis-
tered. As wine writer Jeff
Siegel once wrote, "this
means people aren't
going to CellarTracker to
mark off a wine after they
drink it; they're going to
CellarTracker to read
wine reviews written by
amateurs."
Just as CellarTracker
is becoming more popu-
lar, scores are becoming
less important.
Across the country, boutique wine shops are taking off.
Many don't post scores at all, as the owners see scores as
an obstacle to consumer interaction. Once upon a time at
high-end restaurants, it wasn't unusual to see scores on a
wine list. Today, such a concept is laughable -- top restau-
rants employ sommeliers who are eager to educate their
customers.
The wine media is also changing. While consumers can
still subscribe to publications like the Wine Advocate or
Wine Spectator, they can also turn to blogs and message
boards.
And then there's social media. Facebook has eclipsed
1 billion active users; Twitter has half as many. Earlier
this year, Instagram announced that it has over 100 mil-
lion users. People are utilizing these platforms to share
everything -- and one of those things is wine. There's even
an iPhone app -- Delectable -- that enables users to re-
member, share, discover, and even purchase wines, just
by snapping a photo. It's becoming extremely popular
among wine enthusiasts.
Today's wine drinkers are an adventurous bunch, con-
fident in their own palates and willing to trust the advice
of their trusted networks. With Parker's decline, this trend
is only going to accelerate.

My friend called me...he said...He came home from golfing early.
His wife had left a note on the fridge: "It's not working,
I can't take it anymore!! Gone to stay with my Mother."
He said he opened the fridge, the light came on, and the beer was cold.....

hatever the season, burgers remain America's favorite
sandwich. When it is too cold to grill outdoors, broil the
patties or use an indoor grill. In addition to the standard fixings--ketchup, salsa, onions and toma-
toes--make your burgers more nutritious by adding dark greens, such as watercress or spinach.
2 slice(s) bread, 100% whole-wheat - crusts removed, torn into pieces
1/3 cup blueberries, frozen - thawed, or fresh
1 tablespoon vinegar, balsamic
2 teaspoons mustard, dijon-style
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 clove(s) garlic - minced
1/4 teaspoon salt - or to taste
pepper, black ground - to taste
12 ounces beef, lean ground - 90%-lean
Place bread in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl. (No need to wash the
workbowl.)
Add blueberries, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire, garlic, salt and pepper to the food processor; process until pureed.
Scrape into the bowl with the breadcrumbs. Add ground beef and mix well with a potato masher. Divide the mixture
into four equal portions; form into 1/2-inch-thick patties, about 4 inches in diameter.
Meanwhile, preheat broiler or heat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium-high. If using the broiler, coat a broiler pan
with cooking spray. If using a grill, oil the grill rack by rubbing it with an oil-soaked paper towel.
Cook patties until browned and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer in-
serted in the center should register 160F. Serve immediately, with or without rolls and toppings.

A
fter causing major buzz in January
at the Detroit Auto Show with the
showing of the all-new redesigned
2014 Chevrolet Corvette, General Motors is
trying to do the same with Europeans by
showing the convertible version this week
at the Geneva International Motor Show.
Europe, with its car park of small fuel sip-
pers, German premium cars and sports cars
by BMW, Audi, Alfa Romeo and the like,
may not seem like a great market for an
iconic American sports car. But GM is try-
ing desperately to build up its Chevy brand
on the continent as its century old Opel
brand faces demise. Chevy success outside
the U.S. is a critical pierce of General Mo-
tors comeback after going through bank-
ruptcy in 2009.
Chevrolet sold 194,650 Chevy vehicles in
Western Europe last year, and 541,760 in all
of Europe, including Russia, which GM has
had a stronghold for many years. That busi-
ness is up, while Opel sales fell 16% last
year, twice the rate of the 8% decline the
whole European market experienced. Opel
sold a total of 834,790 vehicles.
So, how can the Corvette help? "This new
Corvette design, much more than past de-
signs, has a global reach and appeal," says
AOL Editor-in-Chief David Kiley. "It's
unique and stands out against other offerings
in the premium sports and convertible, and
that is a good thing for Chevy going forward
not only in Europe but China and the
Middle East," says Kiley.
The best year Corvette has ever had
in Europe was about 1,200 cars. But
GM Europe chief Susan Docherty says,
"We expect to do a lot more if we can
get them from the U.S., but the real ben-
efit to Chevy in Europe is the people
will come to the showrooms to see it."
The Corvette coupe and convertible
goes on sale in the U.S. and Europe
later this year. Chevy's Kentucky man-
ufacturing plant that turns out
Corvettes can only do about 35,000 a
year, and GM executives expect that,
based on the response the company
has gotten since January (the debut
helped AOL Autos' Autoblog set a traf-
fic record), workers at the plant will be
working over-time all year.
How does the Corvette convertible stack
up? The highlight of the new Corvette is an
electrically powered, fabric folding top that
can be operated remotely by the key fob.
The top can be opened or closed while the
car is moving at speeds up to 30 mph.
Like the coupe version, the Corvette
convertible uses a new aluminum frame
structure, which is stiffer and lighter and
requires minimum changes to accommo-
date the folding top. Both coupe and con-
vertible are powered by a new 6.2-liter,
450-horsepower V-8 engine.
The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible in Geneva (Autoblog)
(Huntington Beach, CA), (February 21, 2013) Boys & Girls
Clubs of Huntington Valley is proud to announce that two members
of its Huntington Beach Branch, James Sidrak and Camryn Yarnall,
won national awards in Boys & Girls Clubs of Americas arts com-
petitions.
Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) named James Sidrak the
national winner in
its 11th Annual
Digital Arts Festi-
vals competition, which is supported by
Comcast. Sidrak is a member of Boys &
Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley and has
been volunteering as a program assistant with
the younger children for the last two years.
He earned top honors for his entry in the
music making category for 16-18 year olds.
The music making category asked Boys &
Girls Club members to use computer gener-
ated music-making software to create a song
that speaks to their peers about future life
goals. Sidraks song, entitled Confusion,
showcased his creativity and tech skills
learned at Boys & Girls Clubs of Huntington
Valley.
The Digital Arts Festivals competition fea-
tures six categories, including Music Making,
Photography, Game Design, Graphic Design,
Film and Animation. The Festivals allow
Boys & Girls Clubs throughout the world to
give young people an avenue to get creative and design original pieces of
digital artwork from songs and photography to stop-motion animation
and short films. The competition is one component of Boys & Girls Clubs
technology program which teaches critical technology skills to Club mem-
bers age 6-18.
Through the Digital Arts Festivals were able to inspire our future pho-
tographers, designers, game developers, filmmakers and musicians, said
Dan Rauzi, Senior Director of Arts, Technology and Careers at Boys &
Girls Clubs of America. It is amazing what our kids and teens can do
when given access to technology and allowed to express themselves creatively.
Each year, around 20,000 Club youth from across the globe compete in local festivals. The
Festivals are just one way that Boys & Girls Clubs of America provide technology access to
some 4 million youth served by some 4,000 Clubs nationwide and abroad. To learn more
about the Digital Arts Festivals and to view past national winners visit our Digital Arts Fes-
tivals Gallery.
Camryn Yarnall won the title Artist of the Month from Boys & Girls Clubs of America
for her submission to a contest in January that asked aspiring young artists to depict something
they love. You can see her beautiful painting of a chickadee here: http://bgca.org/meetour-
partners/Pages/artistofthemonth.aspx
She wrote the following short essay with her submission: My name is Camryn and I am
12 years old. I have always loved art and take art classes during school and sometimes after
school on Tuesdays. I go to middle school and I love to play soccer. After school, I also go
to the Boys & Girls Club and draw in my free time. I painted a bird for the I Love contest
for January because I absolutely love birds. I decided to do a painting of a chickadee on a
snowy branch because I think the little bird is adorable and the snowy branch and red berries
remind me of Christmas. I really enjoyed painting this bird and I thought it was perfect for
the I Love contest.
The contest was sponsored by Fiskars and Camryn won a $500 US Savings Bond for her
beautiful artwork and the Club will receive $500 to support its ongoing arts programs.

A
t the same time that the stock market
soared to all-time highs, mortgage
rates have also risen. Up nearly 0.25%
in the last week alone, mortgage rates have
risen to the highest levels since the Feds lat-
est and largest round of Quantitative Easing
(QE3) was announced in September of 2012.
The Feds plan to lower mortgage rates
through an additional round of quantitative
easing has backfired. The purchasing of $85
Billion in mortgage backed securities every
month was supposed to keep rates at record
low levels as a means to stimulate the eco-
nomic recovery. As an unintended conse-
quence, stock levels have rallied. The Dow
Jones Industrial Average just posted seven
straight days of gains, the last five of which
set new record highs. This stock rally has
provided additional fuel to push rates
higher. As institutional in-
vestors put their money into
the stock rally,
theyre pulling money out of bonds causing
rates to rise.
Another factor pushing rates higher was the
stronger than expected jobs report. Analysts
had set a very low expectation of 165,000 new
jobs for the month of February. When the re-
port surprised with 236,000 new jobs, the bet-
ter than expected news further fueled stocks
and punished bonds. The same report also
showed that the unemployment rate dropped
from 7.9% to 7.7%.
And although the markets right now are
overly-focused on positive headlines, there
are still many negative factors in the same re-
ports. Januarys jobs re-
port was revised lower to
119,000 versus the
157,000 previously an-
nounced. This revision is
almost enough to offset the
margin which Februarys
number beat expectations.
And since it takes 125,000 jobs
per month just to keep up
with population growth,
Januarys report means
that the economy actually
had a net loss of
employment for the
month.
Moreover, the creation of 236,000 jobs in
February is not enough to cause the unem-
ployment rate to drop a full 0.2% in one
month. The truest way to measure the
strength of a labor market is the Labor Force
Participation rate (LFPR). This report looks
at one thing: If you are able to work, are you.
Unlike the unemployment reports, there are
no political adjustments. Februarys LFPR is
now at only 63.5% - the lowest level since
September 1981. So the job market is still
weak, and the true cause of the unemploy-
ment level dropping was due to people leav-
ing the labor force.
The fragile economy is also evident in the
US Department of Agricultures report that
47,791,996 people are collecting food stamps
the largest number ever on record.
But what more can the government do?
They cant put enough spin on the headlines
to push America into a true recovery, but they
sure are trying. And the unintended conse-
quence is that the very rates they were trying
to keep low are now on the rise.
Oops There Goes Another Rate
Increase... Sounds Like
a Broken Record...
