Sacramento Senator Tom Harman

of Huntington Beach today honored

Lance Corporal Mark Andrews, a

Purple Heart recipient on the SenateFloor for his service to our country. Lance

Corporal Andrews is from Los Alamitos.

It is an honor to have such an outstanding

young Marine come from our own

community and a privilege to thank him onthe Senate Floor for his service to our

country, said Harman.

Lance Corporal Andrews recently

received the Purple Heart medal for injuries

he sustained in Helmand

Province, Afghanistan while

conducing counter insurgency

operations as a United StatesMarine. He grew up in Los

Alamitos and graduated from

Brethren Christian High Schoolin Huntington Beach

Andrews joined the Marinesin 2009 after finishing his

studies at California State

University Long Beach. He is

stationed at Camp Pendleton inSan Diego County and

services with the 1st Radio

Battalion Unit.

For this age group...notunlike a reaction to aJustin Bieber appearance...

so was it given for Mr. Obama?With help from CongressmanDana Rohrabacher, the 8th gradestudents from Saint BonaventureCatholic School in HuntingtonBeach were in the right place atthe right time last month toglimpse President Obama as heboarded a helicopter for NewEngland. The students were

touring the nation's Capitol,followed by trips to Gettysburg,Lancaster, Philadelphia and NewYork City for their annual springtrip. Full of youthful enthusiasm,the HB kids cheer on thePresident. The President is theone in the dark suit with back tocamera. Is that Mayor DonHansen by the Gazebo? (GettyImages/Alex Wong. Used withpermission)

An unidentified creature wasdiscovered Wednesday by a womantaking her daily walk along theshore in Seal Beach.

Karen Summers says she animalcorpse didn't look like anything shehad ever witnessed.

She called officials from thePublic Works Department, who arrivedFriday morning and disposed of theunidentified animal.

Summers says the workers couldn'tidentify the remains either.

The discovery is reminiscent ofthe so-called "Montauk Monster,"an unidentified creature thatallegedly washed up on a beachnear the business district of

Montauk, New York in July 2008.

What the heck is going on in R.I?First a young lady acclaimedatheist (HS Sophomore) forces

my alma mater High Scholl to remove abanner from the school gym that my seniorclass donated to the school almost5-decades ago, Now, a group wants alocal fire department to demolish a warmemorial that has stood for almost 10 years!

Anybody ever hear of Roger Williams,no not the singer but the acclaimed founderof The State of Rhode Island andProvidence Plantations?

Roger Williams, founder of the colony ofRhode Island in America and pioneer ofreligious liberty, son of a merchant tailor,was born (probably) about 1604 in London.

Though headstrong, opinionated andrigid in his theological views, he wasuniformly tolerant, and he occupies a highplace amo ng tho se who have st riven forcomplete liberty of conscience. He was thefirst and the foremost exponent in Americaof the theory of the absolute freedom of th eindividual in matters of religion; and RhodeIsland, of which he was pre-eminently thefounder, was the first colony consistently toapply this principle in practice.

So, I ask myself...Self...what the heckhappened to all that tradition?

Now a cross is at the center of yetanother church and state controversy inRhode Island.

Earlier this year, Jessica Ahlquist,16, successfully sued to remove a schoolprayer banner from her high school inCranston, R. I.

Now, an atheist g roup called FreedomFrom Religion Foundation (FFRF) haswritten a letter to Leo Fontaine, mayor ofWoonsocket, R. I., stating that a cross inthe parking lot of the town's fire departmentis "unlawful" and requesting that thetown remove it.

According to the Daily Caller, the letteralso asked that a memorial angel andfirefighter's prayer be removed from the de-partment's website.

The offending monument was unveiledin 1921 in memory of William Jolicoeur, amember of the American ExpeditionaryForces who was killed in France duringWorld War I, the Woonsocket Call explains.The monument was later rededicated inMay 1952 to honor three brothers killed inWorld War II. The original monument was

dedicated by FrenchField Marshall Ferdinand Foch, SupremeCommander of the Allied Forces, who cameto Woonsocket at the end of World War 1.

The mayor is exploring the city's options,but says he has no intention of removingthe cross.

However, the cross could be relocated to

private pro perty if a lawsuit is mou nted.City Council President John Ward informedthe Woonsocket Call that the city is onthe verge of bankruptcy and cannotafford to get dragged into a costly legalbattle over a principle.

The controversy has prompted TomPoole, a disabled veteran, and BarbaraDardeen of Warwick to start a vigil at themonument. As WoonsocketPatch reports,the couple is hoping to stop any removal ofthe cross: "We'll both spend as much timeout here as we need to, to make sure thatthe monument stays put," Dardeen said.

God Bless America, oops..can I say that?Rhode Islanders -unite, stand up andfight...the heck with the Alamo...rememberRoger William or change the name of thePark in Cranston R. I. that bears his nameto something..."Area where Trees and grassgrow for no apparent reason" and throw the

baby out with the bath!I have a personal stake i this. I was born

in R. I., grew up in Oak Lawn Village (asuburb of Cranston), attended Oak LawnElementary School, Hugh B. Bain Jr. HS. Iwas part of the first graduation class of th enow famous Cranston HS West schoolWithout a Banner and was the firstgraduation class' President. Enough isenough...Rhode Islanders Unite Now! orwhat I'm calling it...RUN For The Cure. tosave some sanity for the rest of us. Comeon...I don't force my opinion on the Atheist-why in God's name should they inflict theiropinion me? Dear Lord, grant us a Judgewith the wisdom, intelligence and characterto grant us all the equal right to Freedom ofSpeech and expression and allow theAtheist the same size plot of land to displaytheir symbol of dis-belief.

Can you imagine a world without hope?Can anyone image a world with at least 1basic commandments? Consider, yourhonor, for a moment. ..Thou shall steal,Thou shall murder, etc; and there wherewould be all be? I rest my case.

From the mid-1980s to 2005,Californias population

grew by 10 million, while Medicaid recipients soared

by 7 million; tax lers paying income taxes roseby just 150,000; and the prison population

swelled by 115,000.

This is unbelievable. Where d o you suppose

these pe ople (the non tax payers) came from? Th e

older I get the harder I work...

I justread a

newscolumnthat

stated:

I would gain control of the most powerfulnation in the world;

I would delude their minds into thinkingthat they had come from man's effort, insteadof God's blessings;

I would promote an attitude of lovingthings and using people, instead of theother way around;

I would dupe entire states into relying ongambling for their state revenue;

I would convince people that character isnot an issue when it comes to leadership;

I would make it legal to take the lifeof unborn babies;

I would make it socially acceptable to takeone's own life, and invent machines tomake it convenient;

I would cheapen human life as much aspossible so that life of animals are valuedmore than human beings;

I would take God out of the schools,where even the mention of His name wasgrounds for a lawsuit;

I would come up with drugs that sedate themind and target the young, and I wouldget sports heroes to advertise them;

I would get control of the media, so thatevery night I could pollute the minds of everyfamily member for my agenda;

I would attack then family, the backbone ofany nation. I would make divorce acceptableand easy, even fashionable. If the familycrumbles, so does the nation;

I would compelpeople to expresstheir most depravedfantasies on canvasand movies screens,and I would callit art;

I would convince theworld that people areborn homosexuals, andthat their lifestyles shouldbe accepted and marveled;

I would convince thepeople that right and wrongare determined by a few whocall themselves authoritiesand refer to their agendas aspolitically correct;

I would persuade peoplethat the church is irrelevantand out of date, the Bible isfor the naive:

I would dull the minds of Christians, andmake them believe that prayer is notimportant, and that faithfulness andobedience are optional;

I GUESS I WOULD LEAVE THINGSPRETTY MUCH THE WAY THEY ARE!

KTLA TV Weekend Morning

News Anchor Chris Burrousrecently made an appearance at

The Cake Box Pastry Shop (6054Warner Avenue in Huntington Beach).He came because I Invited him to do a"Burrous Bites" Segment, which isbroadcast twice during his popularshow, every Sundaymorning. This was thefirst time Chrispopped in on a pastryshop. The journalistusually visits unusual,local Southern Califor-nia restaurants thatviewers have toldhim about. He alwaysmeets the person inside, whorecommended the quaint business, andthey eat and critique the fabulous food.

While at the humble bakery, he realizedMaster Pastry Chef Paul Gauweiler, 75,not only bakes deserts for Disneyland'slegendary Club 33 but was creatingscrumptious items for contestants andjudges at the famous American Idol TVshow. Paul is known internationally forhis 80-year-old, German-made,gas-flamed Baumkuchen (tree cake)machine, one of only three in the United

States. The three foot long tree cakes,

used in presidential parties, royalreceptions, weddings and birthdays, arein much demand but he's the only onebaking them west of the MississippiRiver. Chris was fascinated by the 18layers and different tastes inside thedelicious delicacy that comes in glazed,fondant and chocolate flavors. In his

shop, Paul often sellsdifferent portions ofthe cake or smallerbite size schmitzen.Chris and I thought thetree cake was one ofthe tastiest desertswe've ever tried.Yum! You can orderthem at his business

or online at cakeboxpastries.com.(714-842-9132) You'll see whydelightful, hard-working, impish-humoredPaul is the toast of the coast. His treecakes have been featured on JapaneseTV as well as in The New YorkerMagazine. Here is a link to the fun seg-ment that ran on KTLA.http://www.ktla.com/videogallery/69402075/News/VIDEO-Burrous-Bites-The-Cake-Box-in-Huntington-Beach .This gives you and idea on whythis place is special to me and my

family.Bon apetit!

After a year ofnot beingable to use

the 7th Street Bridge,where it connectswith the 405 Freeway,people were delightedto see that the rebuiltbridge recently re-

opened and is betterthan ever. It takespeople from SealBeach into LongBeach and also is themain thoroughfarefor the VA MedicalCenter Campus and California StateUniversity, Long Beach. Thousands ofpeople who use those facilities wereimpacted by the construction projectand had to use alternate routes, whichadded 10 to 20 minutes or more totheir commutes. My friend Greg Kelleyfrom Mission Viejo uses the 7th StreetBridge when he travels to Long Beachand is thrilled to have it back again."It's definitely a blessing," said theStewart Title executive.

The $277 million WestCounty Connectors Proj-ect improves the trafficflow by directly connectingcarpool lanes on theI-405, San Gabriel RiverFreeway (I-605) andGarden Grove Freeway(SR-22). In addition, the

project adds a six milecarpool lane on the I-405between SR22 and I-605.For complete info on theproject, check outhttp://www.octa.net/wcc.

"We know this has beenan inconvenience and I want tosincerely thank the community forenduring this closure the past year,"said OCTA Chairman Paul Glaab,the mayor of Laguna Niguel. "Thisproject is a critical component inreducing congestion."

A special ceremony before the bridgeofficially reopened was attended byOrange County Second District Super-visor John Moorlach, Seal BeachMayor Mike Levitt, Seal BeachAssistant City Manager/Public WorksDirector Sean Crumby, Long BeachThird District City Councilman GaryDeLong, Orange County SupervisorBill Campbell and members of theOCTA (Orange County TransportationAuthority) and Caltrans.

If I were the Devil!Dv Goflo

Publi

Remember This Guy.Socialism only works in

two places: Heaven where theydon't need it and hell where

they already have it.

Here's my strategyon the Cold War:

We win, they lose.

The most terrifyingwords In the English languageare: I'm from the government

and I'm here to help.

The troublewith our liberalfriends is not that

they're ignorant; it'sjust that they know so

much that isn't so.

The taxpayer: That's someonewho works For the federal

government but doesn't have to takethe civil service examination.

Government islike a baby: An alimentarycanal with a big appetite

at one end and nosense of r esponsibility

at the other

The nearest thing to eternallife we will ever see on this earth is

a government program.

Politics is not abad profession. If you

succeed, there are manyrewards; if you disgraceyourself, you can always

write a book.

No arsenal, orno weapon in the

arsenals of the world, isas formidable as the will

and moral courage offree men and women.

It has been said that politics is thesecond oldest profession. I have learned that it

bears a striking resemblance to the first

Government's view of the economy couldbe summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves,

tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if itstops moving, subsidize it

Of the four warsin my lifetime, none

came about because theU.S. was too strong.

I have wondered at times aboutwhat the Ten Commandments would have

looked like if Moses had run themthrough the U.S. Congress.

If we ever forget that we'reone nation under GOD, then we will

be a nation gone under. ~Ronald Reagan

"I walked down the street in Barcelona andsuddenly discovered a terrible truth - Europedied in Auschwitz. We killed six million

Jews and replaced them with 20 millionMuslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture,thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed thechosen people, truly chosen, because theyproduced great and wonderful people whochanged the world.

The contribution of this people is felt in allareas of life: science, art, international trade,and above all, as the conscience of the world.These are the people we burned.

And under the pretense of tolerance andbecause we wanted to prove to ourselves thatwe were cured of the disease of racism, weopened our gates to 20 million Muslims,who brought us stupidity and ignorance,religious extremism and lack of tolerance,crime and poverty, due to an unwillingnessto work and support their families with pride.

They have blown up our trains and turnedour beautiful Spanish cities into the thirdworld, drowning in filth and crime. Shut upin the apartments they receive free from thegovernment, they plan the murder anddestruction of their naive hosts.

And thus in our misery we have exchangedculture for fanatical hatred, creative skillfor destructive skill, intelligence forbackwardness and superstition.

We have exchanged the pursuit of peace ofthe Jews of Europe and their talent for abetter future for their children, theirdetermined clinging to life because life is

holy, for those who pursue death, for peopleconsumed by the desire for death for them-selves and others, for our children and theirs.

What a terrible mistake was made bymiserable Europe.

A lot of Americans have become soinsulated from reality that they imagineAmerica can suffer defeat without anyinconvenience to themselves.

Recently, the UK debated whether toremove The Holocaust from its schoolcurriculum because it 'offends' the Muslimpopulation, which claims it never occurred.It is not removed as yet. However, this isa frightening portent of the fear that is grip-ping the world and how easily each countryis giving in to it.

It is now more than 60 years after theSecond World War in Europe ended. Thise-mail is being sent as a memorial chain inmemory of the 6 million Jews, 20 millionRussians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900Catholic priests who were 'murdered, raped,burned, starved, beaten, experimented onand humiliated.' Now, more than ever, withIran among others claiming the Holocaust tobe 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure theworld never forgets."

How many years will it be before theattack on the World Trade Center 'NEVERHAPPENED' because it offends someMuslim in the United States?

The ten non-profit groups who will be ableto operate fireworks booths were chosen at

the city council meeting on Monday,

April 16th. The names were randomly

pulled from 33 approved applicants.

Miss Huntington Beach Hanna Smith did

the drawing while blindfolded.

The names of the organizations

are as follows:huningon Bc LCo Boo

huningon Bc Gil sofbll

huningon Bc ho Lion Club

Min Foobll Boo

Fi smon Conggionl Cuc of huningon Bc

Min Bbll Boo

There were also five alternates chosen in case one or more of thegroups cannot meet the necessary requirements.

Fireworks will be provided by Phantom Fireworks -the company

chosen after a Request for Proposals was circulated. Phantom will beworking with the groups and providing the product for the booths.

Fireworks will be sold in the City on July 1, 2 and 3 between 12:00

noon and 10:00 pm and July 4th from 10:00 am and 8:00 pm.

The Fireworks can only be used on July 4th between 12:00 noon

and 10:00 pm.

Be polite

It may be a routine traffic stop to you, but thecop doesn't know how dangerous the situationmight be. So, when he pulls you over, keep in

mind that he's looking at it as a tense situation.If you're rude, you'll only make it worse andlessen your chances of escaping the ticket. Be

polite; roll down your window and turn offyour radio. If you smoke, put out the cigarette.All of these things are common courtesy andthey all communicate something to the officer:You care enough to give him your undividedattention. Talking on your cell phone orinsisting that he hurry up is a s urefire way to landyourself a ticket.

Don't talk too much

The more you talk, the more he can use againstyou in court. That doesn't mean you have to be amute, but sometimes cops will let you thinkyou're talking your way out of it when they'rereally just giving you enough rope to hang your-self. Don't let yourself get into a conversation inwhich you confess to breaking the law so that youmay get off with a warning. Once the patrolmanhas a confession, he or she has what's needed to

beat you in court should you contest the ticket.

Don't argue or plead ignorance

The side of the road is no place to argue.Sometimes a cop might try to bait you into anargument (they're human and we all have baddays). But, usually, an argument can be a voided.If you can't get the officer to see things yourway by calmly and clearly stating your case,

don't keep going. If you do, you will onlyantagonize him.

As for ignorance, think again. It might work ifyou're a cute girl, but for most guys, it's just alame excuse. When you get your license, youagree to abide by the rules of the road, so igno-rance just isn't going to fly. Plus, it's a commonexcuse, which means cops hear it all the time andare less likely to let you off with just a warning.

Ask for a warning

It never hurts to askfor a warning. Butdon't beg that's a

sign of weakness.It's also veryannoying. Whenan officer givesyou a warning, he'sdoing you a favor,so try to approachasking for a warningthe same way youmight ask a friend tohelp you move. It's a bigfavor on his part, and you've got tomake him want to help you.

In CourtPresent a strong case

Presenting a strong case is about knowing thelaw. While it will help to review the relevant

portion of the driver's handbook, the judgedoesn't need you to tell him about the law; trustme, he knows it. Instead, focus on makingyourself an effective advocate: Be organized,

be on time, speak clearly and dress appropriately.All of these things will set you apart from mostof the people the judge sees every day, and he'll

be more inclined to r ule in your favor if yo umake his job easier.

Accept a plea

If you're looking at multiple charges, ask toplead guilty to the lesser charge in exchange for

dismissing the others. You can do this before yourproceeding begins. Often, judges will do this tosave time. The benefit to you is that you can savemoney and points against your insurance. Butremember: The plea bargain only benefits youwhen you're facing many charges.

Use an attorney

If you're facing serious charges that may resultin you losing your license, getting heavy fines or

jail time, it's worth bringing a lawyer. That shouldgo without saying, but a lot people think they canfly solo because it's traffic court. Wrong: Whenyour license and your freedom are on the line,you need a lawyer. Ask a friend or consultonline listings and reviews to find a lawyer whospecializes in traffic offenses.

Request a trial by mail

Most jurisdictions let you make your case bymail. The advantages are twofold: First, you cansit down and think out your case without the

pressure of being on the spot and facing thearresting officer and the judge. Second, if youlose, you can request a trial in person, whichmeans you get a second bite at the apple.

Getting ticketedIf there is a common denominator to these tips,

it's that you need to know how to handle yourselfin a difficult situation. While many know how tohandle a tough day at work or a fight with theirspouses, an encounter with the law can be a bitscary. The best advice is to relax and fall back onwhat you've learned.

The Huntington Beach Police Department online citizen police reportsystem allows a person to submit a report for certain minor crimes. It alsoallows that person to print a copy of the police report for free. This providesa great convenience for most since it can be done rather quickly with notime delays. However, not all reports can be filed online. The policedepartment website gives detailed information on what the requirements arefor filing a report online.

In 2011 citizens used the online crime reportingsystem over 900 times to file minor r eports foroffenses such as lost prop-erty, petty theft, harassingtelephone calls and vandalism.For more information on howto use the system visit the po-lice department web page atwww.hbpd.org and link to

Hey College kids, community Collegeentrants, business school and Trade Schoolmen and women...Cheap, Cheap, Cheapbeats out Location, Location, Locationaccording to: DailyFinacne Staff.

The rise of cheap imports, technologicaladvancements and the financial crisis havecollectively delivered a harsh blow to someU.S. industries...

Photofinishing2012 revenue: $1.51 billion -

2017 revenue:$897.1 millionCompetition from digital cameras and

camera phones has been a blow to thephotofinishing industry which has seenrevenue shrink 11.4 percent every year overthe last 10 years. The pervasiveness ofconsumer shift to digital devices and onlinephoto-sharing platforms has seen fewerconsumers turn to printing photos.

The photofinishing industry is expectedto see revenue fall 9.9 percent per year overthe next five years. Eastman Kodak Companywhich recently filed for Chapter 11bankruptcy protection is one of the biggestindustry players. Source: IBISWorld

Appliance Repair2012 revenue: $3.68 billion -

2017 revenue: $3.48 billionThe appliance repair industry has taken a

hit since many consumers have opted tobuy new household appliances instead of

fixing them mostly because the price ofhousehold appliances has fallen anannualized rate of 2.4 percent.

The factor most directly responsible forthe industry's downturn however has been

the increasing trend among manufacturersto offer warranties on new appliances.

Improving appliance technologies havealso resulted in lower demand for

repair services.Revenue for the industry has fallen 5.7

percent per year on average for the last 10years. Sears Holdings and Best Buy aresome of the biggest appliance repair

industry players.Source: IBISWorld

DVD, Game & Video Rental2012 revenue: $5.89 billion -2017 revenue: $2.80 billion

The DVD, game and video rentalindustry has taken a hit because of itsstruggle to adapt to a competitivemarketplace and embrace technologicaldevelopments. Consumers are increasinglyopting for streaming, video on demand(VOD) and downloading media.

The industry has seen revenue fall at anaverage rate of 6.6 percent per year and isexpected to fall 13.8 percent per year overthe next five years. Coinstar Inc. with itssubsidiary Redbox, and DISH NetworkCorp. are some of the biggest names in theindustry. Source: IBISWorld

Money market and other banking2012 revenue: $834.4 million -2017 revenue: $799.3 million

The money market and banking industrythat is made up of banks owned by non-financial companies and unincorporatedbanks that are not regulated by the FederalReserve, took a massive blow during thefinancial crisis. With no access to TARPmany drowned during the recession.

Many banks have been pushed toward

commercial banking status and have seenaverage annual revenue decline 6.9 percentover the past five years. Moreoverconsolidation in the banking sector is likelyto see revenues decline further, falling 0.9percent per year over the next five years.

Merrill Lynch Bank USA, AmericanExpress Centurion Bank and UBS BankUSA are some of the biggest players in theindustry. Source: IBISWorld

Newspaper publishing2012 revenue: $29.30 billion -2017 revenue: $23.70 billion

The newspaper and publishing industryhas seen revenue decline at an annual rateof 6.4 percent over the past 10 years, drivenby competition from web-basedcompetitors. News consumers also seemto favor real-time reporting which hasseen advertising revenues for newspapersdecline.

Revenue in the industry is expected todecline at an average rate of 4.2 percentper year for the next five years. GannettCo, Tribune Company and the NewYork Times Company are some of thebiggest industry players.

Newspapers can, however, try to driverevenue through the use of paywalls and bycharging for applications that allow accessto full issues and multimedia content acrossa range of platforms. - Source: IBISWorld

Recordable media manufacturing2012 revenue: $4.14 billion -2017 revenue: $3.31 billion

Technological developments have hurtthe recordable media manufacturingindustry which makes tapes and disks. Con-sumers first shifted to hard drives, and morerecently to online downloading and stream-ing technologies. This, combined with theaccess to on-demand digital media, causedindustry revenue to fall an average annualrate of 7.4 percent over the past 10 years.

The recordable media manufacturingindustry is expected to see its revenuedecline at an average rate of 4.4 percent peryear over the next five years. Cinrammanufacturing and Zomax are theMajor players in the recordable mediamanufacturing industry.

This industry does however have room togrow and develop a niche market sincebigger files like 3D movies cannot besupported through current streamingtechnologies. Source: IBISWorld

Hardware manufacturing2012 revenue: $7.48 billion -2017 revenue: $6.63 billion

The rise of low-cost imports is causing adecline in the hardware manufacturingindustry. Imports currently account formore than 50 percent of all metalhinges, handles, keys and locks sold in theU.S. compared with 29.3 percent in 2002.Most of these imports come from China,Mexico and Canada.

Stanley, Black & Decker, Assa Abloy,and Ingersoll-Rand Company are thebiggest players in the h ardware manufac-

turing industry. Source: IBISWorld

Shoe and footwear manufacturing2012 revenue: $1.71 billion -2017 revenue: $1.56 billion

Competitive imports have delivered anespecially hard blow to the shoe andfootwear manufacturing industry, whichhas to compete with low-cost importsthat account for a massive 95 percent ofdomestic consumption.

China alone accounts for 75 percentofthe industry's imports. With rising laborcosts in China however, Vietnam has alsosurfaced as a new competitive threat.Source: IBISWorld

Costume and team uniformmanufacturing

2012 revenue: $986.7 million -2017 revenue: $889.6 million

Costume and team manufacturing hasseen revenue contract at an average annualpace of 6.7 percent over the last decade.

The industry's revenue is down from $2billion in 2002. The relocation of manufac-turing to other countries has hurt industryrevenues. Berkshire Hathaway through itssubsidiary Russell Corporation is a majorplayer in this industry. Source: IBISWorld

Women's and girls apparelmanufacturing

2012 revenue: $8.60 billion -2017 revenue: $8.27 billion

The women and girls apparel manufactur-ing industry has been hit by off-shoringand outsourcing. Revenue is already lessthat half of what it was in 2012 and hasfallen at an average rate of 8.2 percentover the past decade.

There are now 1,196 manufacturing sitesmaking women's and girl's apparel in theU.S., down from 2,272 10 years ago. Butthere is a silver lining, high-end goods inthe industry can't be cheaply producedabroad and have a niche consumer thatcould help it grow.

Major players in the industry includeVF Corporation, Hanesbrands Inc., andKellwood Company." Source: IBISWorld

Dear EarthTalk:

Why isGreenpeace upset

with some leadingtech companies for so-called

dirty cloud computing? Can you explain?~Jeremy Wilkens, Waco, TX

Leading tech companies like Google, Appleand Microsoft are now offering unprecedentedamounts of data storage and access to apps onhuge Internet-connected servers, savingconsumers and businesses the hass le of installingand running programs and storing information ontheir own local computers.

This emerging trend,dubbed cloud comput-ing, means that these

providers have had toscale up their power

consumption considerably,as they are increasinglyresponsible for providingmore and more of thecomputing horsepowerrequired by the worldstwo billion Internet users.

No doubt, sharing such resources on centralizedservers is more efficient than every individualand business running their own versionsseparately. In fact, the research firm Verdantixestimates that companies off-loading data andservices to cloud servers could save $12 billionoff their energy bills and reduce greenhouse gasemissions by 85 million metric tons within thenext decade. But for the greenhouse gas savingsto be realized, the companies offering cloud

computing services need to make the rightenergy choices.

Greenpeace has been tracking sustainabilityamong tech companies for over a decade, andrecently released a report, How Green is YourCloud? assessing the green footprint of themove to cloud computing. According to theanalysis, some of the major players (Google,Facebook and Yahoo) have gone to great lengthsto ensure that significant amounts of the powerthey need come from clean, green sources likewind and solar. But Greenpeace chastises others(Apple, Amazon and Microsoft) for relying onso-called dirtier sources of power, such as coal

and nuclear, to run theirhuge data centers.

When people aroundthe world share theirmusic or photos on the

cloud, they want toknow that the cloud ispowered by clean, safeenergy, says GaryCook, a Senior PolicyAnalyst with Green-

peace. Yet highlyinnovative and profitable companies like Apple,Amazon and Microsoft are building data centers

powered by coal and acting like their customerswont know or won't care. Theyre wrong.

Greenpeaces report evaluates 14 major techfirms and the electricity supply chains in useacross more than 80 different data centers that

power cloud-based services. Some of the largestdata centers are in buildings so big they arevisible from space and use as much power as250,000 European homes. If the cloud were its

own country, says Greenpeace, it would rank 5thin the world in electricity consumption.

Companies like Google, Yahoo and Facebookare beginning to lead the sector down a cleanenergy pathway through innovations in energyefficiency, prioritizing renewable energy accesswhen siting their data centers, and demanding

better energy options from utilities andgovernment decision-makers, reports Greenpeace.But unfortunately the majority of the industry isnot marching in step. As such, Greenpeace iscalling on all tech companies with cloud servicesto develop siting policies based on access to cleanenergy sources, invest in or directly purchaserenewable energy, be transparent about theirenergy usage, share innovative solutions so thesector as a whole can improve, and demand thatgovernments and utilities increase the percentageof clean, green power available on the grid.

Smile Your On the Natl Wanted List


Honda has used the 2012 BeijingMotor Show to launch twonew concept cars that it says

"show the direction of mass-productionmodels Honda will introduce to themarket next year."

First up is the imaginativelynamed Concept C. According to theautomaker, 'C' stands for "Cool,"Challenge" and "China." As much aswe wish we were making that up, wearen't. The car itself, though, lookspretty bold, with striking character linesdown each side and a fascia that wouldlook right at home on the nextBattlestar Gallactica spinoff. We'recurious to see how much of the C'sconceptual styling makes it into pro-duction when a mass-market version

hits the Chinese market in 2013 if itwere toned down just a bit, we thinkHonda could do worse than inject some

of this boldness inits American lineup, though

some might suggest the grille hasovertones of the controversial stylingdecisions seen at Acura.

Moving along, we have the ConceptS, which supposedly stands for"Stylish," "Smart" and "Surprise." Likethe Concept C, Honda says Concept Swill spawn a production model that willdebut in China in 2013, with globalsales following thereafter. Honda isn'tsaying exactly what is powering the Sother than mentioning it's a hybrid.

Auto Blog carve3d this story out forus..."You may remember the PininfarinaCambiano as the creation that walked

away with the honor of being named themost beautiful concept at the 2012 GenevaMotor Show. The design house decided tocommemorate the honor by crafting somethingelse special for the 2012 Milan Furniture Show.

Pininfarina turned to the craftsmen at Riva1920 to put together a wood sculpture in theCambiano's image. The piece is hewn fromreclaimed Venice briccola wood the same stuff

that makes up all those mooring poles in thefamous Italian city.

The 36-foot beams each carry uniquemarkings, both from the lagoon waterand the aquatic organisms thatcall the posts home. The resultis a sculpture with many uniquecolors and markings.

Riva 1920 used the same woodto create the interior elements ofthe original Cambiano."

Sydney family wins court caseagainst KFC

The family girl who allegedlygot salmonella and became braindamaged after eating KFC haswon legal action.

FAST food giant KFC hasbeen told to pay $ 8 million tothe parents of a girl who sayshe was left paralysed and

brain damaged after eating a

chicken Twister.Monika Samaan, then aged 7, became seriously ill with salmonella

poisoning after eating at theVillawood KFC in 2005.

Last Friday her family won theircompensation bid against KFC inthe New South Wales SupremeCourt and today Justice StephenRothman ordered KFC to pay $8million plus legal costs.

KFC denied it was responsiblefor the poisoning and says it willappeal the decision.

In a statement the restaurantsaid the case was clearly tragic

but they were "deeplydisappointed and surprised" byJudge Rothman's decision.

"We believe the evidenceshowed KFC did not cause thistragedy and, after reviewing thejudgment a nd seek ing furth eradvice from our lawyers, wehave decided to appeal JusticeRothman's decision," KFC

Australia's chief corporate affairs officer Sally Glover said.

Hilary Tuttle of the HuffingtonPost squeezed this story out thisweek..."Are worse ways to die? I...would not want to think aboutthem, especially if you're a guy.

Tuttle says a Chinese mandied recently when a womansqueezed his testicles causing himto collapse over a fight over a

parking space.

A 41-year-old woman inChina's Haiku City in theHainan Province droveto town on a scooterto pick her child up

from school. She,reportedly tried topark in a space,but the storeowner, the 42-year-old victim,stopped her... China

News 24 reported.

A fight resulted.The woman thencalled her husbandand brother, they thengot into a more violentfist fight with the

shopkeeper, according to reports.At that point...the woman grabbedthe man's testicles and squeezedthem until he collapsed. He wastaken to a hospital for treatmentand later died.

Parking disputes can get ugly. InLouisiana recently resident,Shawntay Brown, 19, was arrestedfor biting a 15-year-old's breast

during a brawl in Monroe.Go figure. An affidavit inthe case included apolice officer's state-

ment that the 15 yearold "showed me thebite mark."

Of course a videowas introduced

showing Brownrunning after theyounger girl and

biting her on atender spot,accord-

ing to the SmokingGun reported."

Wow, I think I'll takethe bus for a while...

The April jobs report released

by the Labor Department wasmore than a disappointment.

The numbers in the report indicatea slowdown in what has already

been a very week and debatableeconomic recovery.

Only 115,000 jobs were creatednationwide during the month ofApril. This was below the consensusexpectations of 165,000 new

positions. Whatsworse, its even lessthan the 125,000 jobs thatare required every month justto keep up with populationgrowth in our country.

Some politicians, especially

those vying for reelection,have pointed to what theyrecalling the silver liningin the report: Theunemploymentrate ticked

down to 8.1% from 8.2% in March.And while this data could easily beused to sway headlines, the reason

behind the drop is due to areduction in the labor force. InApril, 342,000 Americans gave uplooking for work and effectivelyremoved themselves from the laborforce. It is this larger number ofdisenchanted workers and not thesmaller number of new jobs that

accounted for the dipin unemploy-

ment. But,thats part of

the complex algorithmbehind the officialunemployment figuresreleased by the

Labor Department.

Official unemploy-ment figures are

controver-sial at

best. A more realistic picture of thestate of the labor market might be

best obtained by looking at thelabor force participation rate. Amuch simpler equation than whatsused to calculate unemployment,the participation rate simplycompares the number of peopleable to work against the number of

people actually working. As of thismonth, that figure stands at 63.6%.With less than 2/3 of eligibleAmericans actually working, thisrepresents the lowest participationrate since 1981.

This is a major contributor toWashingtons ongoing budget

problems. A smaller labor forcemeans lower income taxes ourgovernments prime source ofrevenue. To add further fuel to thedebt crisis is that most of theremaining 36.4% of eligibleAmericans who are not currently

putting in to the system ar e likelytaking a draw

from it, eitherthrough unem-

ployment or someo th er f or m o f

government com-pensation. Theeffect is a double

whammy to ourfederal budget, and

one thatis clearlynot sus-tainable.

T h i snegativeeconomicoutlook,once re-leased, created an immediate selloffon Wall Street. And, as usual,whats bad news for stock is goodnews for mortgage bonds as globalinvestors seek the security of US

bonds. This safe haven play haspropelled mortgage rates backdown to within a fraction of theall-time record low. For those whostill have a job and feel like theymissed out on the record low ratesfrom last year, the only silverlining in this labor report is thatthose record low rates are back.
