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

Jus Cuz'Try reading this slowly, first find a comfortable, take your

shoes off...loosen your belt...if appropriate...just relax and

read on.

AND THEN IT IS WINTER

You know. . . time has a way of moving quickly and catch-

ing you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday

that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life

with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I won-

der where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I

have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes

and dreams.

But, here it is... the winter of my life and it catches

me by surprise...How did I get here so fast? Wheredid the years go and where did my youth go? I re-

member well seeing older people through the

years and thinking that those older people were

years away from me and that winter was so

far off that I could not fathom it or imagine

fully what it would be like.

But, here it is...my friends are retired

and getting grey...they move slower

and I see an older

person now.

Some are in

better and some

worse shape

than me...but, I see

the great change...Not like the ones that I

remember who were young and vi-

brant...but, like me, their age is beginning

to show and we are now those older folks

that we used to see and never thought we'd

be. Each day now, I find that just getting a

shower is a real target for the day! And tak-

ing a nap is not a treat anymore... it's manda-

tory! Cause if I don't on my own free will... I

just fall asleep where I sit!

And so...now I enter into this new season

of my life unprepared for all the aches and

pains and the loss of strength and ability to go

and do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at

least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not

sure how long it will last...this I know, that when it's over on

this earth...it's over. A new adventure will begin!

Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't

done...things I should have done, but indeed, there are many

things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime.

So, if you're not in your winter yet...let me remind you,

that it will be here faster than you think. So, what ever you

would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly!

Don't put things off too long!! Life

goes by quickly. So, do what

you can today, as you can neverbe sure whether this is your

winter or not! You have

no promise that you

will see all the sea-

sons of your

life...so, live for

today and say all

the things that you

want your loved

ones to remem-

ber...and hope that

they appreciate and

love you for all the

things that you have

done for them in all the

years past!!

"Life" is a gift to you. The

way you live your life is your

gift to those who come after.

Make it a fantastic one.

LIVE IT WELL!

ENJOY TODAY!

DO SOMETHING FUN!

BE HAPPY !

HAVE A GREAT DAY

Remember "It is

health that is real

wealth and not

pieces of gold and silver.LIVE HAPPY IN 2013!

LASTLY, CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:

TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN,

YET THE YOUNGEST YOU'LL EVER BE

SO - ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS.

~ Your kids are becoming you......but your grandchildren

are perfect!

~ Going out is good.. Coming home is better!

~ You forget names.... But it's OK because other peopleforgot they even knew you!!!

~ You realize you're never going to be really good at any-

thing.... especially golf.

~ The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to

do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them any-

more.

~ You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring

than in bed. It's called "pre-sleep".

~ You miss the days when everything worked with just an

"ON" and "OFF" switch..

~ You tend to use more 4 letter words ...

"what?"..."when?"... ???

~ Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe

to wear it anywhere.

~ You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeve-

less"?!!!

~ What used to be freckles are now liver spots.

~ Everybody whispers.

~ You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet.... 2 of which

you will never wear.

~~~But Old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old

movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!

Stay well, "OLD FRIEND!" Send this on to other "Old

Friends!" and let them laugh in AGREEMENT!!!

It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That Tells

What Kind Of Life You Have Lived.

I was walking along the beachwhen I came across a lamp partially

buried in the sand.

I picked up the lamp and gave it a rub.A genie appears and told me

I was granted one wish.

I thought for a moment and said,"I want to live forever."

"Sorry," said the genie,"I'm not allowed to grant eternal life."

"OK, then, I want to live until the

Democrats balance the budget andeliminate the debt."

"You crafty little so and so," said the genie.

Eternal Life

Friends.......They love you,

But they're notyour lover.

They care for you,But they're not from

your family.

They're ready to shareyour pain,

But they're not your bloodrelation.

They are........FRIENDS!

A True friend.......Scolds like a DADCares like a MOM.. .

Teases like a SISTERIrritates like aBROTHER

And finally loves

you for YOU..

Send to all yourgood friends

Even me if I'mone of them.....

The nicest place to be is insomeone's THOUGHTS!

The safest place to beis in someone's PRAYERS!

And the best place to be isin ........... His HANDS!

Friends:Sweet, Nicely Said and TRUE!

ChrisMacDonaldOn the road in Surf City

By Chris MacDonald, Writer/Photographer,HB Ambassador/The Local News Columnist

The Local News

First, you see the smoke, lots ofit, billowing thick near RainbowLagoon. Then you hear Zydeco

music and spot people dancing theirhearts out in the distance.

Next, as you get closer, you pick upa whiff, which becomes a pleasurable,constant aroma from BBQ ribs, loadsof them, being hickory-smoked by

some the nations topchefs.

Finally, you see several long lines ofhappy people patiently waiting, joy-fully anticipating their sumptuousmeals of ribs, chicken, brisket, pork,

beans.Seeing smoke, smelling aroma and

waiting for your reward with strangers(who quickly become friends) is all

part of the excitement that make thefirst Long Beach BBQ Festival spe-cial.

Its successful because of LongBeach State Grad, Roy Hassett, hisfamily that run O Entertainment, Inc.and their friends. Attendance skyrock-eted this year. One BBQ-er said he hadfive times more guests than a year ago.

Hassett, who runs the festival withhis two sons, daughter-in-law, and oth-ers, said its successful because itsfamily friendly, affordable (evenchildren 12 and under are free), clean,fun (theres free souvenir E-Photosand children slides) as well as havingsome of the top BBQ cooks in thecountry.

With more than 35 years in the spe-cial events business, Hassett knowshow to make things happen. He wentto the famous Best in the West

Nugget Rib Cook-off in Sparks, NV,

when he wanted to start his own BBQfestival. The legendary Nevada eventdraws more than 500,000 fans. Byasking around and doing his research,he found out one of the 24 rib-cookers,Dan Johnson, was just the man heneeded to see.

The former Army officer, known asThe Colonel, was not only a cham-

pion rib-cooker but knewhow to bring in just the right

fellow, competing chefs to make ashow work. He and Roy worked out adeal and the rest is history.

The secret of good BBQ depends onwhich cook you talk too. Some say itsthe spices or sauces, others the way itscooked, how long its smoked, thetype of meat or other factors.

The Colonel, from Virginia, com-petes in 34 states annually and has asign on his kitchen that says, John-sons Thermo-Nuclear Sauce will im-

prove your cardiovascular system,sinuses, colon, pancreassimultane-ously! Were talking Hot. No Guts, NoGlory.

Besides Johnsons Hickory SmokedBarbecue, some of the other competi-tors included, Cowboys Barbecue &Rib. Co. (Ft. Worth TX), Porky-n-Beans (Port Saint Lucie, FL), TexasOutlaws and Tennessee Q.

Be sure and keep your eyes, ears andnose alert for next years Long BeachBBQ Festival. To find out more, visitwww.OEntertainment.net (which alsolists a bunch of other really fun events,including The Original Long BeachLobster Festival. Log on to:www.originallobsterfestival.com to

Human Trafficking:Not Just a Mans Profit

As terrible as human trafficking is for eachsubjugated person throughout the world,Sharon Buchbinder says women and children

are especially vulnerable.Forced labor, organ harvesting and the soul-de-stroying, commercial sex industry often feature menas victims; however, it is the commercial sex indus-try that accounts for approximately 75 to 80 percentof human trafficking, which predominately targetswomen and girls, says Buchbinder, an award-win-ning, multi-published novelist who recently pub-lished Obsession, (www.sharonbuchbinder.com),

which deals with international kidnapping.There are more than 27 million slaves worldwide,

according to the United Nations, generating an esti-mated $32 billion in profits, most of which areearned on the backs of young women, yet more andmore case findings are uncovering women as ring-leaders and operators of trafficking syndicates, she

says.Buchbinder reviews some recent cases: A Saudi Arabian princess charged in Los Ange-

les: Meshael Alayban faces one felony count ofhuman trafficking after being accused of holding adomestic servant against her will at her condo-minium in Irvine, Calif. Alayban is one of the wivesof Saudi Prince Abdulrahman bin Nasser bin Abdu-laziz al Saud. A female servant,originally from Kenya, escaped andflagged down a bus, after whichshe told her story to local police.The woman says she was promisedweekends off and a good wage butwas forced to work 16-hour days,

seven days a week and was paidonly $220 a month. Alayban facesa maximum sentence of 12 years ifconvicted. She is being held in theOrange County jail in lieu of $5million bail.

United Nations study shows fe-males traffic more sex workersthan men in developing countries:Using data from 155 countries, theUNs first international report at-tempting to calculate the scope, na-ture and patterns of humantrafficking found a disproportion-ately high number of female perpe-

trators selling other women into

slavery. The report uncovered an alarming trend:women who were once victims of the sex trade oftendevelop into ringleaders of the illegal, underground

sex industry. Researchers cite money, poverty and askewed psychological perspective for possible rea-sons for this phenomenon.

Woman recently sentenced to more than sevenyears in a federal prison for trafficking a 16-year-oldin three different states: Jessica Loren Posey wassentenced earlier this year to serve time for trans-porting a juvenile girl to Tennessee, Kentucky andOhio for the purpose of prostitution. According to a

U.S. attorney, Posey met the girl at a party and co-erced her to engage in sex for money. Posey, 25,marketed the girl using uploaded pictures on variouspornographic websites, and she arranged meetingsat hotel rooms, driving the girl there.

In America, we often think of slavery as a prob-lem of the past; in reality, however, there are more

human slaves in the world today than ever before inhistory, with roughly 27 million people are held asslaves worldwide, Buchbinder says. Unfortu-nately, this is likely to be a persistent problem ahuman trafficker can potentially earn 20 times theamount paid for a girl, which can be worth a quartermillion dollars. Unlike drugs and guns, girls can beused over and over again.

huntington beach

Two California lawmakers are trying to light a fire under the Assemblyto change some new rules about fire rings.Assembly members Travis Allen of Huntington Beach and Sharon

Quirk-Silva of Fullerton introduced the measure to take the Air QualityManagement Board out of the fire Ring business.

Rules approved last month by the South Coast Air Quality Manage-ment District require fire rings to be at least 700 feet from homeswhichcould force the removal of dozens of rings from Southern California

beaches.Assembly Bill 1102 removes the AQMD's authority to regulate fire

rings.Newport Beach residents have been fighting to eliminate local fire pits,

arguing that their soot casts a pall over their homes. Supporters say therings are a decades-old tradition and a beach attraction.

The state Assembly approved a non binding resolution supporting therings in May.

An Anaheim man is arrestedafter he presses "like" on aphoto posted on the Hunting-

ton Beach Police Department's Face-book page. Nisha Gutierrez-Jaimeof the Patch and their City NewsService reported ... "a proud graffitiartist, who allegedly tagged a police

car during the riot in HuntingtonBeach last month, clicked "like" but-ton on the police department's Face-book page, triggering his arrest,police said Saturday.

Huntington Beach police took toFacebook to trumpet the arrest ofLuis Enrique Rodriguez, 18, ofAnaheim.

Rodriguez, "apparently proud ofhis actions, 'liked' the HuntingtonBeach Police Department's picture#15 and shared it with his friends,which was noticed by numerousfans on our Facebook page and a

series of tips led to his identifica-tion," police posted.Three people have now been ar-

rested in connection with the July28 riots, in which thousands of peo-ple gathered in the streets followingthe Vans U.S. Open of Surfing.Businesses were looted, windowswere shattered, and portable toiletswere upended.

Rodriguez was arrested Friday forvandalism after a police investiga-tion reportedly showed him sprayingan obscene sexual exhortationagainst "the pigs" on the sides of po-lice cars at the scene of the July 28

riots in Huntington Beach.Also, a 17-year-old West Covina

boy turned himself in Tuesday afterHuntington Beach police detectivescontacted his family.

"Our investigation shows himdamaging the portable toilets and at-tempting to tip over a public works

trucks," according to a statementposted Saturday on the HuntingtonBeach Police Department's Face-book page. "He was arrested and re-leased to his parents for charges offelony vandalism, inciting a riot andrefusing to disperse when ordered."

Huntington Beach resident An-thony Abadier, 20, was arrested athis home on Aug. 11, according topolice. Abadier reportedly used hisskateboard to smash newspaperstands.

He was booked for felony vandal-ism, participating in an unlawful as-

sembly and refusing to dispersewhen ordered."Many investigations are still ac-

tively being pursued, arrests war-rants being obtained, and morearrests are pending in the near fu-ture. The Huntington Beach PoliceDepartment remains committed toidentifying and arresting anyoneengaged in unlawful behavior oc-curring during this incident.

"We greatly appreciate all the as-sistance members of the public haveprovided," according to the state-ment posted Saturday on the depart-ment's Facebook page.

O

n August 16 at approximately 10:45 a.m., Huntington Beach FireDepartment units responded to a reported structure fire on Terry

Drive. Firefighters arrived on scene and reported a working firein a two story single family residence where smoke and fire were comingfrom the front door of the home. An aggressive fire attack was initiated,a search was conducted for victims, and the fire was brought under con-trol in 16 minutes.No civilian or firefighters were injured during this fire, but a small

family dog was found during the search and it did not respond to theCPR efforts on scene.

The homeowner discovered a fire in his kitchen only minutes afterleaving a pan of grease heating on the stovetop. This was an accidentalfire caused by unattended cooking and it was exasperated due to a lackof functional smoke detectors in the home, which delayed fire depart-ment notification.

This incident should serve as a reminder that cooking should be at-tended at all times and functional smoke detectors should be in place in

all residences

Several mem-

bers of theHouse of

Representatives re-cently introduced a bill designed to regulate the NCAA ina number of respects. Representatives Charles Dent (R-Pennsylvania) and Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) are the primarysponsors of the NCAA Accountability Act.

Among other things, the bill would require the NCAA toestablish annual baselineconcussion tests for athletes;mandate irrevocable four-year scholarships for athletesparticipating in contact/colli-sion sports regardless of theirskill or injury; prevent an in-stitution from implementing

a policy that prohibits payingstipends to college athletes;and guarantee that athleteshave the opportunity for aformal administrative hearingalong with other due processrights prior to being punishedfor violating NCAA rules.

Dent, a Penn State alum,has been a vocal critic of theNCAA since it imposed itsunprecedented not to men-tion unfair penalty againsthis alma mater. Beatty was asenior vice president at OhioState when the NCAA sanc-tioned several players, foot-ball Coach Jim Tressel and

the university in the after-

math of a tickets-for-tattoos scandal in 2011. A cynic mightsuggest that both Dent and Beatty have ulterior motives inintroducing their bill, and they wouldnt be wrong. Bothlegislators have an ax to grind against the NCAA.

But just because their motives may not be pure, thatdoesnt mean their concerns are without merit. Its hightime someone called the NCAA to task for abusing student-athletes and dereliction of duty for allowing institutions toengage in a never-ending arms race that has resulted in big-

ger, more lavish - and more expensive - facilities along withescalating coaches salaries.

For its part, the NCAA was nonplussed by the introduc-tion of the new bill. When asked for a comment on theDent-Beatty bill, NCAA spokesman Cameron Schuh wrotein a statement, Our member-created rules and processesare in place to provide a fair competition environment andprotect the safety and wellbeing of student-athletes, a re-sponsibility we take very seriously. To which we can add,about as seriously as the governing body takes the bill. Andfor good reason. According to GovTrack, a non-profit in-stitution that tracks the activities of Congress, the bill hasa seven percent chance of making it out of Committee andonly a one percent chance of ever being enacted.

This isnt the first time the NCAA has been on the re-ceiving end of Congressional action. In the past twodecades, Congress has held at least a dozen formal hearings

that have produced eight written reports on the NCAA.However, to date, no legislation has been passed that wouldregulate the NCAA or any of its activities.

Despite a plethora of recent missteps that have embar-rassed the NCAA and revealed to the world how ineptthe governing body really is, it has nothing to fear fromCongress.

A

300-metrehigh tor-

nado ofFIRE whirledaround Australianoutback for a terri-fying 40 minutes.Fire tornadoesoccur when a col-umn of warm, ris-ing air contactswith - or creates -fire on the ground.An astonishedfilmmaker is com-ing to grips withthe moment he

witnessed one ofnature's rarest phe-nomenon - a tor-nado comprisedentirely of fire-and lived to tell thetale. Chris Tangeyhad been out inAlice Springs,Australia, scoutinglocations for a newmovie. After fin-ishing the task, hewent over to helpworkers at a cattle

station when hewas confronted byone of nature'smost intimidatingspectacles.

At the time, hewas 330 yardsaway from the1000 ft high fireswirl which'sounded like afighter jet' despitethere being nowind in the area.

These fire whirlsare known to lastfor around twominutes on thevery rare occasionsthey take place.But Mr. Tangeyfound himselfmesmerized by thetornado for morethan 40 minutes.

The 52-year-oldsaid: 'The weather was perfectly still and it was about 77 degreesFahrenheit - it was an entirely uneventful day.

'Then the next thing a man is yelling 'what the hell is that?' and Iturned around and saw a 1000 foot fire tornado. 'I was about 330 yardsaway and there was no wind but the tornado sounded like a fighter jet.

My jaw just dropped.'Mr. Tangey, who runs Alice Springs Film and Television, in central

Australia, described it as a 'once in ten lifetimes experience'.The fire whirl occurred in the Australian outback as the red cliffs show

the area's trademark look.Thankfully the fire tornado occurred in the remote Australian outback

and no injuries were reported. He added: 'I've been shooting in the out-back for 23 years and I have never seen anything like it. We've heardabout them but they're never seen. 'If I had known what was about tohappen then I would have happily paid $1,000 to watch it. At any timethere were three different tornadoes, it just kept going and going for 40minutes. The whole experience was staggering and the length and vari-ety were astonishing.'

Predictably, these rare spectacles are extremely dangerous. In 1923,a fire whirl emerged during Japan 's Great Kanto Earthquake and killed

38,000 people in just 15 minutes.

In one of the most supremelyironic court decisions in a longtime, a judge just threw out the

racial discrimination claim filedagainst Paula Deen -- the very law-suit that destroyed the famous chef.

A judge just ruled ... Lisa Jack-

son had no right to claim racial dis-crimination, BECAUSE SHE'SWHITE! Any comments that Deenor her cohorts may have made hadno legal consequence to her, be-cause she's simply not the rightcolor.

Jackson made a tenuous argument thatsomeone in her family was bi-racial --something that may not be true at all.But the judge said even if it were true,she was at best an "accidental victim."

Short story -- Jackson ruined Paulawith a bogus claim.

The case goes on, because Jacksonalso claims sexual discrimination, and sofar there's not basis to doubt that she's awoman.

ike O'Sullivan pens some ink thatis as blue as the ocean in any day

in Huntington Beach..."Surfingstarted in Hawaii, but Californians adoptedthe sport early and popularized it aroundthe world. Huntington Beach, is known asSurf City, where riding the waves has be-come a way of life.

The surfers come out early to catch themorning waves.

High school teacher Matt Grayson surfsnearly every day.

Just getting out away from it all, get inthe water and it is all blue and clean,and it just takes away all your prob-lems," he said.

At Huntington Beach, they havebeen surfing for almost a century, butthe sport got under way in earnest inthe 1950s, and was popularized

through music from the Beach Boysand duo Jan and Dean and by movies,like the 1959 film Gidget, based on apopular novel. Starring Sandra Dee,the movie told about a teenaged girl'sintroduction to surf culture.

The International Surfing Museumin Huntington Beach preserves the his-tory of the sport, from Hawaiians GeorgeFreeth and Duke Kahanamoku, whobrought surfing to California in the early1900s, to modern surfing champs likeKelly Slater. The boards have changed -they are shorter and faster today.

One former competitor says the sport hasalso changed. Today, there are big prizesand product endorsements for top profes-sionals, says Australian-born Pete Tow-

nend, who was world pro-surfingchampion in 1976.

There are a lot of young surfers today

making a million dollars a year," said Tow-nend. "That is pretty good money to just go

surfing in perfect waves with beautiful girlsall around, right?

The U.S. Open of Surfing, held lastmonth in Huntington Beach, brought to-gether top surfers from as far away asJapan and Brazil. It is a worldwide sporttoday, says spokeswoman Jennifer Lau.

Surfing is something that is appealingand it is a spiritual thing. You either havewhat we call the stoke, or you do not, and

it is really what keeps you alive," said Lau.She says the stoke is the feeling you

get when you are riding a great wave.Surfing is the perfect way to get in touch

with nature, says longtime surfer Josh Har-rison.

Because you are tapping into the en-ergy, really, of the world, in a way of theplanet, of the wind and the tides and distantstorms, and you are getting that energy

here where it is sunny," he said.He says that every day and each new

wave brings another challenge."

Voice Of America...Speaks Loudly About

Surf City USA

New Zeland Herald says it all...Huntington Bach, Surf city, USA is #1 in theirhearts....Hmm...sounds like the foundation to a whole new campaign..."Newport Beach is perhaps the most glamorous of the beach areas south of LA, with

its multimillion-dollar homes and expensive shopping centres. But if you want a touch

of the real surfside US, head to Huntington Beach about 15 minutes north of Newport.Famed for its incredibly long pier, which surfers love surfing alongside, HuntingtonBeach is like the westie cousin of Newport - noisier, busier and with more tattoos.

This is the venue for the US Open of Surfing, which attracts more than half a millionspectators, but there are plenty of other things to keep you entertained around HuntingtonBeach's 13km of sand:

1) Sandcastle building classesFor the kids or for corporates, SandCastle Central is a website that details which com-

panies run special classes in the area so you can build the best sandcastle on HuntingtonBeach.

2) Segs on the BeachSure you look a bit of a doofus driving a Segway along the beach but it's fine and a

great way to see bigger areas of the beach. GW Tours start from US$80 ($101) and in-clude a basic training session, the tour and all necessary equipment.

3) Hawaiian styleParts of Huntington Beach feel a lot like Hawaii, especially the Hilton Waterfront Re-

sort, which has one of the best dining options in town with its champagne brunch on aSunday. Dukes Restaurant on the waterfront offers a great view of the pier and does a di-

vine (and massive) Hula Pie with a high-calorie chocolate biscuit crumb base, icecreamfilling and fudge topping."

Unmanned systems are com-monplace in the world of avi-ation. But it wasnt long ago

that they were more of an oddity forworld militaries.

That changed when technologicaldevelopments finally let systems op-erate for long stretches of time, givingoperators a near-permanent eye in thesky. Once that barrier was breached,UAVs could be used for all kinds ofapplications.

Is a similar breakthrough coming

for unmanned systems that operateunderwater? Boeing believes so and that it will happen within the nexttwo years.

I think were on the edge, MarkKosko, Boeings program managerfor unmanned undersea systems, tolda group of reporters Aug. 19 during aBoeing-funded media tour of thecompanys Los Angeles-area facili-ties.

The company has a background inunmanned submersibles. Its 18.5-foot-long Echo Ranger premiered in2001. But it has a limited range.Kosko is confident his team is close

to being able to change that.Within two years, he said when

asked for a timetable. Theres goingto be game-changing stuff. Thosegame-changers include the ability tohave long, persistent trips for au-tonomous systems, potentially withmultiple payloads.

Right now a 10, 20, 30, 40-hourvehicle is more of a toy. It definitelydoes something productive, but if youhave to have a man in the loop, youmight as well have done it off of a

boat, he added. I think the gamechanger is what were interested inand what we assume will be persist-ent systems, bigger vehicles with a lot

of payload capabilityand a vehicle that al-ways comes backhome.

Kosko tacitly ac-knowledged that thecompany is workingon some form of pro-totype while devel-oping this system,and also noted that

developing that fu-ture unmanned un-derwater system isnot without risk forBoeing. WhileKosko said US Navyofficials have ex-

pressed interest, budget realities couldvery easily interfere.

He proposes a potential solutionthat again draws on Boeings experi-ence. Rather than sell a new systemto the Pentagon, Boeing could workout a contracting situation in whichthe Pentagon asks Boeing to run spe-cific operations with its device. Its asystem that has worked for the com-pany in the past, including with itsEcho Ranger in the Gulf of Mexico.

No LongerScience Fiction:But Still SomeSecret Issues!

Congrats Boeing

Who Said That andWhere Is He Calling From?

B

oeing is developing aninternational model ofits Combat Survivor

Evader Locator (CSEL)search-and-rescue device.

The walkie-talkie sizedradio system has delivered54,000 units domestically,with another 10,000 plannedin the next three years.

The company is activelyengaged in talks with a num-ber of potential customers,according to Paul Geery, Boe-ings vice president of C3 So-lutions. Geery made hiscomments at a company-sponsored trip to Boeings

Los Angeles-area facilities.

Asked who may be inter-ested, Geery identified Brazil,South Korea, Canada, Aus-

tralia and the UK. He alsoadded that smaller markets,such as Poland, may be agood fit for the capability.The hope is to have interna-tional sales in the next two tothree years.

The one hang-up to an in-ternational deal: the GPSchipset used in the CSEL isbanned from being soldoverseas, so the company isin the process of finding areplacement.

We would have to replace

that with a substitute GPS

chip that is OK for interna-tional sales, Geery said.Doing so would require

some reworking, but wewould hope to be able to cutthat into the life-cycle of theproduct. Its not a huge devel-opment cost.

He added that the companyhas identified a couple ofoptions for GPS chips thathave been cleared for sale tointernational partners.Some 54,000 units of the

Combat Survivor Evader Lo-cator device have been deliv-ered in the US. Boeing saysit is developing a version for

export. (US Air Force)

Dear EarthTalk:Some green groups

are promoting the sim-ple notion of sharing as a

way to green communities andcombat waste. Can you explain?~ Becky Lipscomb, Centereach, NY

The convergence of environmental awareness and con-sumer culture has created a whole new movement todaywhereby sharing is cool. Indeed, some environmentalistsview sharing as key to maintaining our quality of life and oursanity in an increasingly cluttered world.

Sharing is a relatively simple concept and a basic part of

human life, reports JanelleOrsi on Shareable, an onlinemagazine that tells the story

of sharing. Whats new is that people are applying sharingin innovative and far-reaching ways, many of which require

complex planning, new ways of thinking and organizing, andnew technologies. In short, people are taking sharing to newlevels, ranging from relatively simple applications of sharingto community-wide sharing initiativesand beyond.

In a shareable world, things like car sharing, clothingswaps, childcare coops, potlucks, and cohousing make lifemore fun, green, and affordable, reports Shareable. Whenwe share, not only is a better life possible, but so is a betterworld.

The non-profit Freecycle Network, which runs a Craigslist-style website where people can list items they want to giveaway, pioneered using the Internet to facilitate divertingreusable goods from landfills when it launched back in 2003.To date, more than nine million individuals across 5,000 dif-

ferent regions have used thegroups freecycle.org websiteto find new homes for olditems.

According to Shareable,other examples such as Zipcar,Wikipedia, Kiva and CreativeCommons show how success-

ful sharing can be. They showwhats possible when we share.They show that we dont actmerely for our own good, butgo out of our way to contributeto the common good. Theyshow that we can solve thecrises we face, and thrive asnever before. They show that anew world is emerging wherethe more you share the more re-spect you get, and where lifeworks because everyone helpseach other.

Shareable and the Centerfor a New American Dream, anon-profit that highlights theconnections between con-

sumption, quality of life and the environment, have collabo-rated on the production of the new Guide to Sharing, a free

downloadable booklet loaded with practical ideas about ex-changing stuff, time, skills and space. Some of the ideas inthe guide include: organizing a community swap; starting alocal toy, seed or tool library; launching a skills exchange

where community members can swap professional skills likecarpentry or grant-writing; or setting up a food, transportationor gardening co-op. Some other sharing tips include car-shar-ing, gift circles, sharing backyard chickens with neighborsand launching a free market where people meet to tradeskills and stuff.

For her part, Janelle Orsi envisions a future where publicland is dedicated to community gardening, public librariesalso lend tools, equipment and other goods, and citywide bikesharing, carpooling and wifi programs are all the rage. Orsiand others warn we had better get used to sharing, as it is hereto stay.

The Law of Physics States it's easier to get up at 6:00 AM to play golfthan at 10:00 AM to mow the lawn.

A good drive on the 18th hole has stopped many a golfer fromgiving up the game.

A good golf partner is one who's always slightly worsethan you are.

That's why I get so many calls to play

with friends.

A pro shop gets its name from the fact thatyou need to have the income of a professional

golfer to buy anything in there.

If your opponent has trouble remem-bering whether he shot a six or aseven he probably shot an eight orworse.

It takes longer to become a goodgolfer than it does to become a brain sur-

geon. However, a brain surgeon can't ridearound on a golf cart, eat hot dogs,

drink beer and (pass gas) whileperforming brain surgery.'

Michael Zak at Aol Autosays more people are lessconcerned about drinking

and driving while they text whiledriving...Hmmm.

"Americans are less likely to tosee dangerous driving behaviorssuch as drunk, aggressive ordrowsy driving as a threat to them-selves or other drivers on the road,according to an analysis of fouryears of public surveys conductedby AAA.

The troubling decrease in concernabout such activities comes along-side the first annual increase in traf-fic fatalities in seven years. Deathswere up an estimated 5.3 percent,totaling 34,080 in 2012, according

to the National Highway TrafficSafety Administration (NHTSA).

"Motorists may be growing morecomplacent about potential safetyrisks behind the wheel," said PeterKissinger, President and CEO ofAAA, in a press release. "A 'do as Isay, not as I do' attitude remainscommon with many motorists con-sistently admitting to engaging inthe same dangerous behaviors forwhich they would condemn otherdrivers."

The survey showed that the per-centage of people who believeddriving after drinking was a seriousdanger declined a staggeringamount: From 90 percent in 2009to 69 percent in 2012. Additionally,

the number ofpeople whoconsidered drowsy driving to be adangerous activity declined from71 percent to 46 percent over thesame time period.

Despite the wide-ranging effortsof safety organizations and bigcompanies to highlight the dangerof texting and emailing while driv-ing, the number of people who ac-tually considered it a dangerousactivity declined from 87 percent to

81 percent. People who admitted totexting or emailing while drivingincreased from 21 percent to 26percent.

Finally, the survey showed thatthe number of people who found

red-light running to be an unaccept-able driving behavior decreasedfrom 77 percent to 70 percent. Al-most 40 percent of those surveyedadmitted to running a red lightwithin the previous month.

"We have made great strides inrecent years to reduce road deaths,but there are still too many need-less fatalities caused by dangerousdriving," said Jake Nelson, AAAdirector of traffic safety advocacyand research. "It is clear that moremust be done to address the dan-gers of drunk, aggressive anddrowsy driving to stem this con-cerning trend."

When will the Federal Reserve begin ta-

pering its bond-buying program? Thisis the single largest question in the fi-

nancial marketstoday. Alsoknown asQuantitativeEasing, theFederal Re-

serve has

been spending $85 Billion per month (roughly$1 Trillion per year) to buoy the US Bond mar-

ket. By artificially inflating demand for bonds,the Fed has been able to keep interest rates atrecord lows.

The yields on mortgage bonds have risen dra-matically since May 1. The rise began when BenBernankes testimony on Capitol Hill indicatedthat the Federal Reserve could begin windingdown, or tapering, its massive bond buyingprogram as early as September. Mortgage rateshave risen more than 1% since then. Although itis inevitable that the Fed will have to cut off theprogram at some point, recent evidence suggests

that September would be a bit too early.GDP, the Feds primary benchmark, is still well

short of the desired target. First quarter GDP wasat 1.1% and second quarter GDP was only mildlybetter at 1.8%. Unless GDP doubles to over 3% inthe second half of the year, it will fall short of eventhe low range of the Feds target.

Low GDP has also kept inflation well below theFeds target levels. High inflation would force theFed to cut off bond stimulus sooner than later, but

low inflation gives the Feda green light to con-tinue buying bonds

as long as it feels isnecessary.

The only signthat tapering could

begin sooner is in theofficial unemploymentnumber. The Fed has a

target of 7% un-

employment rate before it stops buying bonds.With the official unemployment rate at

7.4% currently, some might say weregetting close. But here what top econ-omist Elliot Eisenberg , Ph.D. says onthe matter:

The unemployment rateoverestimates labor marketimprovement because theshare of people holding ajob or looking for one con-tinues to decline. AS a resultthe labor force participationrate at 63.48% is at levels

not seen since the1970s and even a smallrise it in would in-crease the unemploy-ment rate

As a result, the Fed finds itself in a very toughspot. On the one hand, they are strongly signalingthat the days of QE Infinity are soon to end, yetrecent data is not quite strong enough for them topull the trigger Adding to the confusion is thevirtual certainty that come January 2014, therewill be a new Chair of the Federal Reserve.

Dr. Eisenberg had previously been a believer inthe September tapering date. Hes since moved hispredictions back to between December 2013 andMarch 2014, with December being 70% likely:

December looks most promising because bythen any and all congressional machinations willbe over, the hoped for rise in second half GDP willhave materialized, and last but not least, by start-ing tapering on his watch, outgoing ChairmanBernanke will make the job that much easier forhis successor.

If tapering doesnt happen in September as iswidely expected, we may see mortgage rates drop(but only slightly) in the short term. But once theinevitable happens and the Fed begins its exit,mortgage rates will continue to move higher.

When WillTapering Begin?
