Alex Gurda of Executive Commercial Prop-erties paints a pretty nice picture for all par-ties included: Developer, City and

community..."A major retail development projectin Huntington Beach recently received a seriousfund injection as developer DJM landed ap-proximately $93 million in financing. Thefunds were arranged by George Smith Part-ners Principal and Managing Director SteveBram and Senior Vice President David Pas-cale. The funding is divided between a $56.5million senior loan and a $37 million mezza-nine loan. DJM will be using the proceeds tocontinue the development process at its Pa-cific City project.

The 191,000-square-foot retail center is lo-cated near the Huntington Beach Pier, alongPacific Coast Highway, three blocks awayfrom Main Street. It features a two-storyopen design that facilitates views of thenearby Pacific Ocean to the largest part of theproperty’s tenants. With only a small amount ofpreleasing necessary as part of the financing

process handled by George Smith Partners, in-formation regarding the property’s tenantroster is still rather scarce.

Set to debut in 2015, the retailcomponent of Pacific City will

include a wide range of lifestyle brands, populardining spots and an Equinox fitness center. The

property’s Lot 579 will be a market-place-style arrangement featuring local and

regional food vendors in the vein of San Fran-cisco’s Ferry Building. Construction at the proj-

ect began late last year on the lot that DJM hadacquired back in 2012. The process will con-tinue with no changes in the developmentschedule due to the securing of the two loans.

The Pacific City development project wasapproved back in 2004, and calls for a brandnew mixed-use experience to be built in Hunt-ington Beach on a 31.5-acre plot of land, offer-ing new retail, residential units and ahospitality facility. Currently, DJM CapitalPartners Inc. is in charge of development forthe commercial/retail project, R.D. Olson De-velopment is handling the construction of theeight story, 250-key hotel that will also include5,800 square feet of meeting and banquetspace. Crescent Heights is listed as the appli-

cant for the 17.23-acre multifamily componentof the development that would include 516 residen-tial units.

I Love These Stories From the e

An old Italian friend lived narmy home in Rhode Island . He

wanted to plant his annual tomatogarden, but it was very difficultwork as the ground was hard.

His only son, Vincent, whoused to help him, was inprison. The old man wrote aletter to his son and describedhis predicament:

Dear Vincent, I am feeling pretty sad,

because it looks like Iwon't be able to plantmy tomato garden thisyear. I'm just getting tooold to be digging up agarden plot. I know if youwere here my troubleswould be over.. I knowyou would be happy todig the plot for me, likein the old days.

Love, Papa

A few days later he received aletter from his son.Dear Pop,

Don't dig up that garden.That's where the bodies areburied.

Love,Vinnie

At 4 a.m. the nextmorning, FBI agents andlocal police arrived anddug up the entire areawithout finding anybodies. They apolo-gized to the old manand left.

That same day the oldman received anotherletter from his son.

Dear Pop,Go ahead and plant the

tomatoes now. That's the bestI could do under the circum-

stances.

Love you, VinnieRecently, At a

Recently, at a motivationalseminar, I was with two otherfriends and we were asked to

come up to the stage. We were allasked, "When you are in your casketand friends and family are mourning upon you, whatwould you like to hear them say about you?" My first Mysecond friend said, "I would like to hear Finally, myturn...sorry -I can't let these opportunities get away...I

said, "I would like tohear them say......LOOK!!! HE'SMOVING!!!!!"

Yup - The ItalianTomato Garden Story

An elderly man in Texas calls his son in NewJersey and says, "I hate to ruin your day son,but I have to tell you that your mother and I

are getting a divorce; 45 years of marriage... and thatmuch misery is enough!" "Dad, what are you talkingabout?" the son yells. "We can't stand the sight of

each other any longer," the old dad explained."We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talkingabout this, so you call your sister in California and

tell her!". Frantic, the son calls his sister, whoexplodes on the phone. "Like hell they're get-ting divorced!" she shouts, "I'll take care ofthis." She calls her elderly father immediately,and screams at him, "You are not getting di-vorced. Don't do a single thing until I getthere. I'm calling my brother back, and we'llboth be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do athing, you hear me?" she said as she hung upthe phone. The old man hangs up his phoneand then turns to his wife. "Okay", he says,"it's all set. They're both coming for Christmasand paying their own air-fare."

National Public Works Weekwas celebrated recently andthere's no more important and

unsung city department than PublicWorks. It's the one you don't thinkabout unless something goes wrong. Ithelps you drive safely, drink safe waterand so much more. It works to protectyou 365 days a year.

One of the top Public Works De-partments is in Huntington Beach,CA, where 200 full-time and 30part-time employees apply theirmagic. Public Works tests waterquality more than 30,000 times ayear, maintains 360 miles of sewerlines and 29 lift stations (whichpump 9.5 million gallons of sewage

daily), deliver 9.5 billion gallons ofwater through 626 miles of pipe,maintain 143 signalized intersec-tions and 3,765 park, parking lotand street lights, as well as all cityvehicles and buildings (from CivicCenter, the Fire Stations and Li-braries to the Recreation facilities).

"It takes talented people to do thisand I've never worked with a better,more caring group than here in HB,"said Travis Hopkins, Director of Pub-lic Works. "They really take pride inwhat they do."

Public Works employees recentlyshowed residents exactly what they doat a special Surf City Night's exhibit.Billy Wallace, a certified arborist,stood by his tower truck explaininghow his group helps maintain 65,000trees. Rick Legere showed how hisfolks operate all the street valves andfire hydrants. "A small computer en-ables us to keep a history of each valveand what condition it's in," he said.Terry Tintle and his team maintain thestreet markings and stop signs. "Wetake our jobs very seriously becausethey involve you and your family'ssafety," said Tintle, one of several em-ployees with more than 30 years expe-

rience.Mark Birchfield works in "waste-

water," like Ed Norton of the fa-mous Jackie Gleason show, "TheHoneymooners." He jokes aboutNorton but also takes his job seri-ously. "If sewage gets into stormdrains it goes into the ocean," hesaid. "Twenty years ago, it took 24months to clean the city's sewer sys-tem. Ten years ago it took 12months. Today, it takes 7-8 monthsto clean because of new technologyand our trained personnel."

Birchfield showed how smallcameras, with tracks, like a tank,journey through sewer lines to helpidentify the problems. Chris Gray,

who retired after 37 years, explainedhow bad the city's infrastructureused to be. "We couldn't see insidethe sewers but now with the cameraand our CCTV trucks, you can seewhat needs to be done. Cleaning isdone with high pressure water,much faster and more efficientlythan before. There even are differentnozzles for grease, root cutting andcalcium deposits. We don't have todig up the streets as much as weused to and many pipes are linedfrom manhole to manhole."

These are just some of the jobsdone by Public Works. If you seethem working nearby, be sure andsay "Thanks." They're on your teamto make your city a better, saferplace to live.

We Have An Oil Problem?Next time you have to fill up at $3.49/gallon, think

of this!!OIL - You better be sitting down when you read this!As you may know, Cruz Construction started a divi-

sion in North Dakota just 6 months ago. They sendevery Kenworth (9 trucks) we had here in Alaska toNorth Dakota and several drivers. They just boughttwo new Kenworth's to add to that fleet; one being aTri Drive tractor and a new 65 ton lowboy to go withit. They also bought two new cranes (one crawler &one rubber tired) for that division.

Dave Cruz said they have moved more rigs in thelast 6 months in ND than Cruz Construction moved inAlaska in the last 6 years.

Williston is like a gold rush town; they moved oneof our 40 man camps down there since there are norooms available.

Unemployment in ND is the lowest in the nation at3.4 percent last I checked.

See anything in the national news about how the oilindustry is fueling North Dakota 's economy?

Here's an astonishing read. Important and verifiableinformation:

About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a newsprogram on oil and one of the Forbes Bros. was theguest.

The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discoverysince Alaska 's Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential toeliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. TheEnergy Information Administration sm(EIA) estimatesit at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil isrecoverable( 5 billion barrels), at $107 a barrel, we'relooking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 tril-lion.

"When I first briefed legislators on this, you couldpractically see their jaws hit the floor.

They had no idea.." says Terry Johnson, the MontanaLegislature's financial analyst.

However, a recent technological breakthrough hasopened up the Bakken's massive reserves, and we nowhave access of up to 500 billion barrels. And becausethis is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will costAmericans just $16 PER BARREL !!!!!!

That's enough crude to fully fuel the American econ-omy for 2041 years straight.

And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then thisnext one should - because it's from 2006 !!!!!!

U. S. Oil Discovery - Largest Reserve in the WorldStansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky

Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the

world.It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8,

2005 President Bush mandated its extraction.In three and a half years of high oil prices none has

been extracted.With this mother-load of oil why are we still fighting

over off-shore drilling?They reported this stunning news: We have more oil

inside our borders, than all the other proven reserveson earth.HERE ARE THE OFFICIAL ESTIMATES:* 8 times as much oil as Saudi Arabia* 18 times as much oil as Iraq* 21 times as much oil as Kuwait* 22 times as much oil as Iran* 500 times as much oil as Yemen and it's all right

here in the Western United States !!!!!!

HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extract-ing this? Because the environmentalists and othershave blocked all efforts to help America become inde-pendent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a smallgroup of people dictate our lives and our economy.WHY?

James Bartis, lead researcherwith the study says we'vegot more oil in this verycompact area than theentire Middle East,more than 2 TRIL-LION barrels un-tapped. That's morethan all the provenoil reserves of crudeoil in the world today ,reports The Denver Post.

Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its priceeven with this find? Think again! It'sall about the competitive market-place, it has to.

OPEC is funding the environ-mentalists!!!

Got your attention yet? Now,while you're thinking about it, dothis:

Pass this along. If you don'ttake a little time to do this, then youshould stifle yourself the next timeyou complain about gas prices, bydoing NOTHING, you forfeit yourright to complain.

Now I just wonder what would happen in thiscountry if every one of you sent this to every onein your address book.

The am-bassadors will help answer ques-tions, provide directions for guestsas well as observe and report on se-curity and quality of life issues im-pacting the Downtown area. Theambassadors will be licensed secu-rity guards hired through a contractwith a private company. They willbe trained on when to act versuswhen to observe and report to thePolice Department. Visit HB willprovide training on the local area,amenities, and business we have to

offer our guests. A component of the programalso includes linking the bar security personnel,the ambassadors, and the Downtown police offi-

cers via a security radio for better coordinationand more timely response. The program is start-ing this summer on a trial basis as a result of a

public private partnership with thePolice Department, the DowntownBusiness Im-provement District,Visit HB, and the Downtown barowners. Our goal is to provide amore comprehensive approach topublic safety Downtown wheremore people and businesses are ac-tively working to improve theDowntown experience. The pro-gram will run for 12 weeks begin-ning Monday, July 14, 2014, andwill be evaluated continually for ef-fectiveness. Once the program hasproven successful, the City will beengaging again with our partners toobtain permanent funding optionsto consider.

DUI Check PointResults

Can Kitchen Daily ever be wrong when it cometo food...hardly and they tell us..."Refrigera-tion is a lifesaver for so many foods. Since its

invention, the fridge has prolonged the shelf life ofmany ingredients and dishes alike. However, noteverything needs to go into the refrigerator in order tostay fresh. In fact, certain foods and even produce tendto fair better in cabinets than they do in the fridge.

Did you know that putting coffee in the refrigeratorwill cause it to absorb odors from the surroundingfood while losing its flavor? Meanwhile, leaving gar-lic in the fridge could cause it to sprout and get moldy!

There's no need to refrigerate the following items:

TomatoesMelonsPotatoesOnionsCoffeeGarlicAlcoholHoneyHot SauceBreadBasil"

The Huntington Beach Police Department con-ducted a Sobriety/Drivers License Checkpointon Friday, May 23rd, 2014, on Main Street and

Palm Avenue from 7:15 PM to 2:20 AM. Checkpointsare placed in locations that have the greatest opportunityfor achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence andprovide the greatest safety for officers and the public.Over the past 12 months, there have been 8 alcohol re-lated collisions on Main Street. These resulted in 2 in-

juries to the vehicles occupants. There have also been59 citations issued to drivers on Main Street for beingunlicensed or driving on a suspended/revoked license.

Sobriety/Drivers License checkpoints help lower DUIrelated deaths and injuries. A major component of thesecheckpoints in the deterrent effect it has on those whomight drive drunk and/or drug impaired, unlicensed, orwith a suspended/revoked license. Checkpoints help tobring more awareness to motorists and encourage

everyone to use sober designated drivers.According to the National Highway Traf-

fic Safety Administration (NHTSA),checkpoints have provided the most effective docu-mented results of any DUI enforcement strategies. Hereare some of our statistics from Friday’s checkpoint:

465 Vehicles through the checkpoint465 Vehicles screened and given pamphlet with in-

formation on DUI7 Standardized Field Sobriety Tests adminis-

tered4 DUI-Alcohol impaired drivers arrested1 DUI warrant arrest2 Drivers cited for operating a vehicle while

unlicensed2 Vehicle impounded5 Citations issued for various code violations

The Huntington Beach Police Departmentwill be conducting another Sobriety/Drivers Li-cense checkpoint on Aug. 16, 2014, in the De-partment’s ongoing commitment to loweringdeaths and injuries upon our streets and high-

ways.Funding for this checkpoint is provided to the Hunt-

ington Beach Police Department by a grant from theCalifornia Office of Traffic Safety, through the NationalHighway Traffic Safety Administration, remindingeveryone to continue to work together to bring an endto these tragedies. Report Drunk Drivers. Call 911!

The information contained in this column does notnecessarily reflect the opinion of The Local News.

Jordan Kobritz is a former attorney, CPA, andMinor League Baseball team owner. He is a Pro-fessor and Chair of the Sport Management Depart-ment at SUNY Cortland and is a contributing authorto the Business of Sports Network and maintains theblog: http://sportsbeyondthelines.com Jordan canbe reached at [email protected]

San Diego Padres pitcher Alex Torreswasn’t trying to make a fashion statement,

he was just trying to protect his head.Torres, a 26-year old lefthander from

Venezuela, became the first MLB pitcher to wear a protective cap in a gamewhen he was summoned from the bullpen in the eighth inning of the June 21game against the Dodgers. The new headwear is fitted with energy-diffusingprotective plates that create bulgesaround the sides and front of the cap.Not surprisingly, it’s heavier than thenormal baseball cap. The cap looksawkward, but its looks are no moreawkward than its name: isoBLOX.

No sooner had Torres taken themound then social media erupted withcomments, most of them negative andderogatory. Players, commentators,fans and even Torres’ wife mocked himfor donning the cap. The cap is ar-guably the ugliest item of clothing everworn on a baseball diamond, but forTorres, the wardrobe change was allabout safety, and with good reason. Everytime a pitcher takes the mound, he puts hiscareer – indeed his life - in jeopardy.

During the past several years, a numberof pitchers have taken a line drive to thenoggin, most notably the Arizona Dia-mondbacks’ Brandon McCarthy in 2012;Torres’ teammate last year with the TampaBay Rays, Alex Cobb; and CincinnatiReds reliever Aroldis Chapman during

Spring Training this year.McCarthy required emergency brain surgery to save his life. Cobb suffered

a concussion that cost him two months of the season. After taking a line driveto the face, Chapman’s injuries included broken bones in his left eye, a con-cussion, and a broken nose. He also had surgery to install a titanium plate inhis head. However, because Chapman was hit in the face, it’s doubtful thatthe protective headwear could have prevented his injuries.

Protection for pitchers is long overdue. A batted baseball can come back ata pitcher even faster than he throws it, sometimes in excess of 100 miles perhour. Although a pitcher begins his windup standing 60’ 6” from home plate,he finishes his stride much closer to the hitter, oftentimes off balance, makingit difficult to protect himself.

Total MLB payroll will exceed $3.5 billion this year and pitchers make up halfof a team’s roster. Therefore, it behooves the league to protect its investment.

This year the league adopted a new rule on blocking the plate which was de-signed to protect catchers. Beginning in 2008, MLB required

coaches to wear helmets on the field after a Minor League coachwas killed by a batted ball. Why should pitchers be left out?

Playing pinball with a pitcher’s head is no laughing mat-ter. Rather than being ridiculed, Torres should be com-mended for his intelligent decision to don the newprotective headwear.

Earlier this week, GovernorBrown signed legislation tobetter protect California’s stu-

dents by reforming the teacher dis-

missal process. Assembly Bill (AB)215, jointly authored by Assembly-member Joan Buchanan and SenatorLou Correa (D-Santa Ana), stream-lines the process for cases involvingteacher conduct that could jeopard-ize student safety. AB 215 will nowmake it more efficient and less ex-

pensive, while maintaining fairnessand teachers’ right to due process.

“Public safety, especially for chil-dren, is California’s biggest priority.

This law will better protect ourchildren by ensuring that anyteacher jeopardizing studentsafety is effectively removedso they can no longer prey oninnocent victims,” said Correa.

AB 215 would establish a bi-furcated process aimed atmoving the most serious andegregious cases toward closurein less time to keep our chil-dren safe in their learning en-vironments. Specifically thisadds “egregious misconduct”and defines such conduct ascertain sex offenses and drugoffenses, and child abuse in-cluding sexual abuse and neg-lect. The procedures for reviewmust commence within 60days of the employee’s de-mand for a hearing.

Earlier this year, Senator Correaintroduced legislation on reducingprocedural complexities in cases in-volving teacher misconduct and suc-cessfully negotiated the basic tenantsto AB 215, which received broadsupport from education and teachergroups.

Thanks Senator Correa

The Huffington Post - Healthy Livingsegment brings us a reality check onwhy, where and to what extent drink-

ing and death are connected..."a new studyfrom the Centers for Disease Control andPrevention suggests a more imminent dangerfor the state and its neighbors: alcohol.

According to the report, published in thejournal Preventing Chronic Disease, Col-orado and other Mountain-region states havethe highest alcohol-related death rates in thecountry -- several points higher than the na-tional average of one in 10 deaths.

New Mexico leads the country with 16.4percent of alcohol-related deaths, whileMaryland has the lowest rate at 7.5 percent.Regionally, Alaska and almost all of theMountain-region states have alcohol-relateddeath rates higher than the national average.The stark exception: Utah, which has someof the most restrictive alcohol selling andpurchasing laws in the U.S.

"Excessive alcohol use is a huge publichealth problem," study researcher Dr. RobertBrewer, of the CDC's Alcohol Program, toldThe Huffington Post. "It's killing people inthe prime of their lives."

For the report, CDC researchers tallied al-cohol-related causes of deaths from 2006 to2010. They scanned 54 different causes ofdeath linked to alcohol, which range fromacute conditions like violence, alcohol poi-soning and motor vehicle collisions, tochronic conditions like breast cancer andheart disease. Researchers estimate that ex-cessive drinking kills an average of 88,000people in the U.S. each year, and shortened

the lives of those who died by an average of30 years. About 70 percent of these deathsinvolve working-age adults ages 20 to 64.

But those counts could well be an under-estimate, said Brewer, because deaths frompneumonia, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS andhepatitis C weren't part of the analysis. Ex-cessive alcohol consumption -- which theCDC defines as eight or more drinks perweek for a woman and 15 or more drinksper week for a man -- plays a significant rolein increasing risk for those diseases, as well.

"At the time we were putting this tool to-gether and coming up with the methodology,we just didn't have good estimates of the re-lationship between alcohol and certain con-ditions," Brewer explained. Additionally, thenumbers are based partly on self-reports ofalcohol consumption, and people generallytend to underreport the amount they drink.

"So even though it's a big number, we re-ally think this is a significant underesti-mate," said Brewer.

Alcohol is a toxin and known carcinogenthat can increase the risk for chronic healthconditions or escalate their severity. Becausean estimated 38 million Americans drink al-cohol excessively, there's a lot of potentialgood that could come from people choosingto drink just a little less, said Dr. DavidCrabb, director of the Indiana Alcohol Re-search Center. Crabb wasn't involved in thestudy, but praised the new research andechoed the need for intervention at an indi-vidual and public health level.

"A lot of the injury isn't just the people youconsider alcohol abusers, but a much a larger

group that binge drink or consume higherlevels than recommended -- more than 1 [to]2 drinks a day," Crabb told HuffPost.

One of the most important things drinkerscan do is educate themselves on the properserving sizes of their favorite beverages. Forinstance, one big wine glass may actuallyhold two servings, and a pint of craft beer willlikely have higher alcohol content than astandard 12-ounce beer, Crabb said.

Medical professionals can also do their partby asking questions about alcohol use duringprimary care check-ups and hospital visits,Crabb added. Even a brief "intervention"

about the dangers of heavy alcohol use canbe enough to encourage an estimated 25 per-cent of excessive drinkers to take the drinkingdown a notch.

And on a policy level, local governmentscan try to curb alcohol-related deaths by in-creasing state taxes for alcohol, regulating al-cohol store density and holding alcoholretailers legally responsible if they sell alco-hol to people they shouldn't.

CLARIFICATION: This story was editedto clarify the distinction between all alcohol-related deaths and the deaths of people ages20-64."

Randy Jackson and Chris Haddox team up to taking us soaring to new heights , qui-etly and for an extended period of time..."Boeing unveils its first hydrogen-poweredunmanned airborne system, called Phantom Eye, at a ceremony in St. Louis. PhantomEye is a demonstratorthat has 150-footwingspan, will cruiseat approximately 150knots and can carry upto a 450-pound pay-load while stayingaloft at 65,000 feet forup to four days.

Boeing unveiled itshydrogen-poweredPhantom Eye un-manned airborne sys-tem during a ceremonyin St. Louis on July 12.The demonstrator,which will stay aloft at 65,000 feet for up to four days, is powered by two 2-liter, four-cylinder engines that provide 150 horsepower each. It has a 150-foot wingspan, willcruise at approximately 150 knots and can carry up to a 450-pound payload.

"Phantom Eye is the first of its kind and could open up a whole new market in col-lecting data and communications," Darryl Davis, president of Boeing Phantom Works,said today at the unveiling ceremony in St. Louis. "It is a perfect example of turningan idea into a reality. It defines our rapid prototyping efforts and will demonstrate theart-of-the-possible when it comes to persistent intelligence, surveillance and recon-naissance. The capabilities inherent in Phantom Eye's design will offer game-changingopportunities for our military, civil and commercial customers."

Boeing Defense, Space & Security President and CEO Dennis Muilenburg ad-dresses the crowd of employees gathered in St. Louis to view the Phantom Eye, a hy-drogen-powered unmanned airborne system.

Later this summer, Phantom Eye will be shipped to NASA’s Dryden Flight ResearchCenter at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., to begin a series of ground and taxi tests inpreparation for its first flight in early 2011. That debut flight is expected to last be-tween four and eight hours.

"The program is moving quickly, and it’s exciting to be part of such a unique air-craft," said Drew Mallow, Phantom Eye program manager for Boeing. "The hydrogenpropulsion system will be the key to Phantom Eye's success. It is very efficient andoffers great fuel economy, and its only byproduct is water, so it's also an environmen-tally responsible aircraft."

Dear EarthTalk:We often see and

read reports about en-vironmental threats to

women’s health, but aren’t therealso concerns about which men should be especially vigi-lant? ~ Jay Walsh, Boston, MA

Indeed, women aren’t the only ones who should be worriedabout environmental threats. A recently released report(“Men’s Health: What You Don’t Know Might Hurt You”)by the non-profit Environmental Working Group (EWG)concludes that environmental exposures may have majornegative impacts on men’s health as well, and outlines waysthat guys can avoid some of the major risks.

“Most men understand that smart lifestyle choices—suchas exercising regularly, eating a healthful diet and not smok-ing—make a big difference in staying healthy,” says EWGresearcher and report author Paul Pestano. “However, whatmany men might not know is that research in the last fewdecades has shown that environmental exposures may con-tribute to majordiseases andhealth concernsthat especiallyaffect men, in-cluding heartdisease, prostatecancer and infer-tility.” He addsthat toxic sub-stances in drink-ing water, food,food packagingand personalcare productshave all beenlinked to serioushealth problemsthat affect mil-lions of Ameri-can men.

According to EWG, men’s heart disease risks are exac-erbated by exposure to mercury in certain seafoods, Teflonchemicals in non-stick cookware, and bisphenol-A (BPA)in hard plastic containers and canned foods. Additionally,arsenic and lead in drinking water supplies is a contributingfactor in elevated heart disease risks for men. Meanwhile,certain agricultural pesticides common on fruits and veg-etables as well as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) thatbuild up in meat and dairy products have been associatedwith prostate cancer, the second most common cause ofcancer for American men. And exposures to lead, pesti-cides and chemicals in personal care products contributeto low sperm counts, infertility and other reproductive is-sues for men. EWG also underscores the importance oflimiting sun exposure, as men face a higher risk of devel-oping melanoma than women.

“While genetics can predetermine certain health out-comes, there are a number of ways men can dramaticallyreduce their potentially harmful environmental exposures,”Pestano says. Some tips include:

• investing in a water filter system specifically de-

signed to reduce exposure to lead, arsenic and other drink-ing water contaminants (see EWG’s “Water Filter BuyingGuide” to find the right one);

• avoiding canned foods and plastic containers with therecycling code #7 to limit BPA exposure;

• using personal care products that don’t contain phtha-lates, parabens or other potential contaminants (see EWG’s“Skin Deep” database that lists toxic chemicals in some69,000 personal care products);

• choosing conventionally grown fruits and vegetablesthat have the fewest pesticide residues and buying the or-ganic versions of certain types of produce that otherwiserely heavily on chemicals (EWG’s “Dirty Dozen” guidelists apples, grapes, strawberries, celery, peaches, spinachand sweet bell peppers as the worst offenders among oth-ers); and

• using proper sun cover and getting regular skin checkswith a dermatologist to reduce melanoma risks.

By following these guidelines along with eating ahealthy, varied diet and getting regular exercise, men cansignificantly reduce their health risks and potentially addyears to their lives.

In a list dominated by Australian and Cali-fornian wineries, one South Americanbrand stood out as the world’s most pow-

erful of 2014.The Drinks Business Power Brands Report,

compiled by the drinks business together withIntangible Business, sees the world’s most in-fluential wine and spirits brands pitted againsteach other to determine the world’s most powerfulbased on a scoring matrix. (see below)

Focusing on thewine sector, manyof the industry’sbig hitters returnedthis year to taketheir place in thetop 10, with somesignificant shifts.

In a top 10 dom-inated almost en-tirely by US andAustralian winer-ies, one Chileanwinery stood out asthe world’s mostpowerful climbingtwo spots to becrowned theworld’s most pow-erful wine brand.

Barefoot, ownedby California’s E&J Gallo winery, made its debutin the power 10 sliding comfortably into 5th place,while US wine giant Blossom Hill narrowlymissed out on a top 10 place having been pushedto 11th.

The full report of the wine and spirits industry’stop 100 power brands can be found in June’s issueof the drinks business magazine.

Please note, only in-ternational brands witha global distribution arefeatured in this report.

Scroll through to seewhich wine brandswere deemed 2014′smost powerful….

Methodology Nearly 200 of the

largest brands in thewine and spirits indus-tries were scored bynine panelists to derivea list of the 100 mostpowerful alcoholicdrinks brands. Power isdefined by a brand’sability to generate valuefor its owner. Value is

classified by a series of measures as identifiedbelow.

HARD MEASURES• Share of market: volume-based measure of

market share• Brand growth:

projected growthbased on five years’historical data and fu-ture trends

• Price positioning:a measure of abrand’s ability to

command a premium • Market scope: the numberof markets in which the brand has a significantpresence

SOFT MEASURES• Brand awareness: a combination of both

prompted and spontaneous awareness• Brand relevancy: capacity to relate to the

brand and a propensity to purchase• Brand heritage: a brand’s longevity and a

measure of how it is embedded in local culture• Brand perception: loyalty and how close a

strong brand image is to a desire for ownershipA panel independently ranked each brand out of

10 on the above measures (10 = high, 0 = low).The scores were aggregated and averaged to reacha total score for each brand. A total score wasachieved by multiplying a brand’s weighted vol-ume by its brand score (a derivative of the eightmeasures of brand strength), within a definedrange. The weighting is designed to adjust the vol-umes to a comparable level.

Americans Know Driving Drunk andDistracted Is Dangerous, Do It Anyway

Half of people who think texting while driving is dangerous have done it in the past

Roughly one-fourth of Millennials admitted tofrequently talking on a cell phone while be-hind the wheel (Shutterstock).

Erin Marquis | AOL Autos Staff tells a chillingstory of who just might be driving the car next tous..."Americans are behaving badly while driving,

and they know it. A new Harris Poll found the vastmajority of Americans recognize the dangers ofdrunk driving, texting while driving and other dis-tractions, but many still engage in these activitiesanyway.

According to the poll, nearly all Americans (94percent) believe drinking three or more drinks thendriving is dangerous or very dangerous. Buzzeddriving didn't get a pass either: Sixty-eight percentof Americans believe driving after one or two drinksis still a hazard. Still, 37 percent of those surveyedwho drink alcohol say they've driven when theyknew they probably had too much. Three in tenagreed that they are more likely to get behind thewheel after a few drinks if they only have to drive ashort distance.

Texting spurred similar reactions, with 94 percentbelieving that sending texts while driving is danger-

ous and 91 percent believing that reading texts whiledriving is dangerous or very dangerous. Eventhough texting while driving is known to be highlyrisky, 45 percent have read texts (15 percent fre-quently doing so) and 37 percent admitted to send-ing a text (14 percent doing so frequently) while

behind the wheel. Two-thirds of people surveyedsaid speaking on the phone is dangerous, but only36 percent said using a hands free device is just asdangerous.

Millennials were the worst offenders in the study.Roughly one-fourth of drivers from this generationadmitted to frequently talking on a cell phone, send-ing text messages and writing text messages whiledriving. To be fair, previous studies have suggestedthat parents may be just as guilty of this risky be-havior as the younger generations.

Some other scary distractions drivers have coppedto: One in four admitted to engaging in personalgrooming while driving, another quarter said theyposted to social media, 19 percent said they haveread a book, magazine or newspaper and 13 percenthave watched a video on a smartphone or tabletwhile behind the wheel.

Moms Better Traveling

Companions, Dads BetterDrivers

AOL Auto inserts a gender preference to the roadtrip notion..."Sorry, dads, you're the better driv-

ers, but as road trip companions, you come up a littleshort. According to a new study from Visiting Angels,an in-home care company, 54 percent of adult chil-dren would rather take a trip with their mother thantheir father.

The group asked 400 adults with parents at least 65years old who would be a better road trip companion.Moms won, with 65 percent saying she kept the carcleaner than dads and 60 percent saying she pickedbetter music. Sixty percent said dads were too con-trolling.

Even though Dad was determined to be more likelyto engage in bad driving habits, more likely to engagein road rage and more likely to nod off behind thewheel, 63 percent still considered him better driver.Almost a third of respondents said moms drive tooslowly. Eighty-five percent said they were more likelyto ask for directions.

Inside the car, though, Mom was less annoying, acritical attribute for a road trip companion, though 63percent did say their moms would subject them todeep conversations from which there was no escape.Apparently, however, the assault on the ears one getswith Mom is preferable to the assault on the nose thatcomes from Dad: 77 percent said their fathers weremore likely to pass gas in the car.

In the six years since the Great Recession first started, the government’smost expansive tool to combat the recession and stimulate growth hasbeen its Quantitative Easing (QE) program. The initial round of QE

was insufficient to spur on theeconomy, so when that endedwe added a second round.When that second attempt wasstill not good enough, weadded a third. As that thirdround winds down andnears completion wefind ourselves ask-ing questions notjust to determine ifit was worth it, butdid it work at all?

The data sug-gests that QE maynot have had anyreal effect on stim-ulating economicgrowth. Accordingto the Bureau ofLabor Statistics, therewere 146.6 millionAmericans gainfully em-ployed before the start of thegreat recession. Today there are145.8 million Americans working– 800,000 fewer than seven yearsago. In that same time, the Labor ForceParticipation Rate, which measures the percent-age of Americans working, has fallen to a mere 62.8% - the lowest readingsince 1978. These statistics send a clear signal that the labor markets havenot recovered during the time QE has been in effect.

The most recent reading on first quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP)was another major disappointment, showing that the economy actuallycontracted by 2.9%. This was the worst reading on GDP since the peakof the Great Recession in early 2009.

The GDP data showed that the contraction was not limited to a specific

area. Rather, it was more indicative of an“across the board” contraction. Cuts were madein private inventory investments, state and localgovernment spending, exports, and fixed in-vestments (both residential and non-residential).

The most concerning part of the report was that consumer spending,the primary component of our nation’s GDP,was also revised lower.

So were the QE programs worth the over $4Trillion we spent on them? Perhaps that de-pends who you ask. Wall Street sure likes itas the sustained era of cheap money has pro-pelled stock markets to record highs. Thosefortunate enough to remain gainfully em-

ployed have also benefitted as low mortgagerates have propelled housing affordability to

multi-year highs.Overall though, QE has been an economic dis-

appointment as the US economy overall continues tostruggle. The argument could always be made that the

situation would be worse if QE had never happened. Thisis a hypothetical argument that no one will ever know the true

answer to. But factual data and economic statistics leave littledoubt that QE reached its full desired effect. As future genera-

tions work to pay back the record deficits and national debt thathas resulted in the meantime, the question they will likely ask for

decades is, “was it worth it?”

Hannah Weinberger from Outside are paving theway to innovative ideas for oursustainablility..."The Brusaws, standing on the

prototype parking lot theybuilt with support from theFederal Highway Adminis-tration. Back when the con-cept of global warming wasstill nascent—only eightyears ago, mind you—Scottand Julie Brusaw of Sagle,Idaho, began heavily con-templating an idea that Scott,an electrical engineer, hadtoyed with as a child: solarpanel roads.

After years of figuring outmany ways not to make a solar panel, the Brusaws havedeveloped a modular-panel paving system that's attractedinterest from the Federal Highway Administration, General

Electric, and even Google. If their Indiegogo campaign,started this past Earth Day, receives $1 million by the endof May, the Brusaw's company, Solar Roadways, will be

able to test its heavy-duty tempered-glassproduct in parking lotsand eventually high-ways throughout thecountry.

The versatile panel-ing has a lot going forit. Where most roadsice over in the winter,solar roadways areequipped with heatingelements that keepthem clear. Where

blacktop consumes light and requires bright headlightsto navigate at night, solar roadways come outfitted withroad-powered LEDs. Where potholes burden travelers

for months, individual damaged panels can be fixed in amatter of minutes because nearby panels deliver automatedalerts to electricians. They can even store and treatstormwater that erodes current byways and put an end to aWi-Fi-less America.

Most impressive is Solar Roadways' energy and capitalpotential: The Brusaws did the math and found their panelsmore than pay for themselves. Solar panel technology isnot cheap when done correctly, but Solar Roadways couldconceivably produce more than three times the electricityAmericans use each year.

That energy would power homes, roads, and as of today,even the White House. President Obama announced a planto push solar energy in 2010 and is reinforcing his intentby symbolically reinstalling solar panels at 1600 Pennsyl-vania Avenue.
