Three SD communities square off over Mid-City redevelopment
By Megan Burks • Sep 13, 2010
For nearly seven decades, the Pearson Ford car lot at Fairmount and El Cajon Boulevards in central San Diego was a piece of San Diegans' collective conscious. Its familiar jingle echoed unchanged on radios throughout the county until the cars cleared out in 2008.
At Pearson Ford they stand alone/At Fairmount and El Cajon.
Now, with the empty land awaiting redevelopment, the site evokes tension more than it does regional nostalgia. That's because it sits at the crossroads of three communities that each represent a distinct socioeconomic stratum in San Diego and, thus, harbor different hopes for what might fill it in. Wealthier residents in Kensington and Talmadge want a departure from the social services that have dominated redevelopment in the area since 1994, while those in City Heights fear such a departure might fuel gentrification and an exodus of low-income residents.
"What it really comes down to is the difference in class, income and privilege among these communities," said Diana Ross, the director of Mid-City CAN, an advocacy group in City Heights. "Who gets to make the decision and what will that decision symbolize?"
The decision rests largely with Price Charities, a nonprofit that has invested capital and energy into programs and infrastructure for low-income residents in City Heights for more than a decade. It purchased the land in 2008 and began surveying the community about its use this year.
"The goal for this project is to create a space all three communities will be drawn to," said Derryl Acosta, a spokesman for Price.
But disparities across the three neighborhoods make finding a compromise tricky. In an initial survey circulated by Kensington and Talmadge residents, consensus seemed to focus on what wasn't wanted: subsidized low-income housing and services for the poor.
An anonymous survey respondent warned against installing low-cost retail stores, check-cashing services and low-income housing, saying they attract "undesirables." Instead, he and almost 30 percent of his neighbors said they'd prefer a food market with gourmet stock.
"I know most of my suggestions sound blunt and snobbish, but Talmadge was originally a super nice area of San Diego," he said. "The future of the Pearson Ford site puts our area on the precipice of either returning to being upscale and desirable or continuing down the shame spiral to become more dumpy and unremarkable."
Indeed, El Cajon Boulevard fell into disrepair after Interstate-8 drew cars away from businesses on the once well-traveled thoroughfare in the 60s. But Talmadge and Kensington remain desirable for their picturesque, tree-lined streets, which feel isolated from the gritty boulevard.
According to 2000 Census data, those who live in Kensington and Talmadge have a median income of nearly $40,000 and live in homes valued, on average, around $300,000. Homes in Kensington hover closer to $1 million. Just across the 4-lane boulevard, families in City Heights have a median income of less than $24,000 and a median home value of about $96,000.
"Unfortunately, they didn't consider that the site is in a lower-income neighborhood, nor that it's owned by a charity that serves the residents of such neighborhoods," said Talmadge resident Paul Jamason of the survey respondents. "Suggesting that an upscale market go there seemed a bit out of touch."
While City Heights hasn't given formal input regarding the project, research by community nonprofits suggests that those in the immigrant and refugee neighborhood would continue to benefit from services and amenities with a clear focus on community health.

Several community advocates suggested incorporating recreation space into the project to help combat the disproportionate levels of obesity and heart disease that plague the community. There are just 1.03 acres of open space per 1,000 residents in City Heights, compared to nearly three acres per 1,000 people citywide, according to Health Equity by Design, a partnership between Walk San Diego and San Diego Health and Human Service that mapped health disparities in the area.
Kathleen Ferrier, HED's project manager, said such ailments could also be attributed to financial stress. She said she'd like to see businesses that offer well-paying jobs fill in the lot. According to Ferrier, for each City Heights household, there is less than a half a job available in the area.
"I think they should bring something like a Walmart in here, something that will add jobs to the community," said Dawnette Rawls, a City Heights resident. "I'm more into people working and taking care of their families."
Most in City Heights who spoke with calhealthreport.org agreed that such businesses should share space with low- or mixed-income residences to maintain affordability in the neighborhood. According to HED, nearly a quarter of the population in City Heights spends 50 percent or more of their monthly income on rent. Nearly 40 percent fall below the national poverty level, according to the 2000 Census.
"A lot of times the inner city is a very trapped place of poverty and its really hard to lift up out of poverty in these types of areas," said Jacqueline Jordan, a community health advocate visiting from Oakland, Calif. "Bringing in things that are more ritzy, more expensive, ends up making the community look better, but it drives people out of the community and forces them to live in a poorer area."
Beryl Forman of the El Cajon Boulevard Business Improvement District said providing mixed-income housing is key for achieving progress without out-pricing current residents. She said other portions of the boulevard that have experienced an upswing were able to maintain stable property values and relatively cheap rent.
"I don't refer to it as gentrification, which refers to displacement," Forman said. "Revitalization is a needed thing in areas where people left the urban environment, left storefronts and left the area to further deteriorate. It doesn't have to necessarily be a bad thing."
Ross and others are watching anxiously to see whether that trend continues along this stretch of the boulevard. Candid survey responses out of Kensington and Talmadge worried many with talk of expensive chains and market-rate condos.
The survey's organizers said, however, that the visions expressed weren't necessarily about status and raising property values. Ron Anderson said upscale market chains were suggested because of their neighborhood feel, and that residents would settle for a more reasonably priced store. Maggie McCann said opposition to affordable housing was based on the current mid-city community plan drafted in 1998, which aims to limit further concentration of affordable housing in the area. In 2008, the county's Department of Housing and Community Development counted 24 affordable developments in mid-city comprised of nearly 1,000 units.
"You have this urban apartheid cramming everyone in the middle and leaving them there," McCann said. "It doesn't put people where jobs are, where amenities are."
The goal is informed by the city's balanced communities policy, which calls for an even distribution of affordable housing by focusing efforts in areas where low-income residents make up less than 60 percent of the population. Exceptions can be made based on community support, elimination of blight and location within a redevelopment area—all of which apply to City Heights.
Both McCann and Anderson said they recognize that Price has a distinct vision and responsibility to City Heights, which encompasses affordability—the survey acted as more of a wish list. Foreman said she suspects that residents north of the site were simply working with the brands and concepts they know.
"People choose from things that they already know—a Whole Foods," said Forman. "We have to throw larger ideas at people so they can do something bigger."
Forman suggested an international market that extends the Little Saigon district west or a permanent farmers market with the same draw as Seattle's fish market. Jamason and others suggested a community square like San Francisco's Portsmouth Square. McCann and Anderson said they'd like to see a "gateway" that brands the mid-city region and acts as a gathering place for the three neighborhoods. Some City Heights youth, with the support of a teacher, even circulated a petition for a skate park.
Those striving for such innovation will have to contend with a request for proposal already drafted and submitted by Price to three design firms—one local and two in Orange County. The RFP calls for a traditional mixed-use development that incorporates housing, retail and community space per the land's zoning. The lot can accommodate residential, light industrial and commercial use, which accounts for recreation. Active recreation like skating, however, typically falls under an open space zone, though some San Diego skate parks have been built in residential and industrial zones.
Price has received three proposals, all of which featured market-rate housing, retail and community gathering space. Matthew Hervey of Price said the RFP and subsequent proposals are just a starting point to stimulate ideas. He said that no decisions have been made and that all suggestions will be heard. There is currently no timeline for the project.
"This will either make us or break us," said Anderson, referring to the impact the site might have on his small division of Talmadge. The blank pavement might just as well determine whether Kensington, Talmadge and City Heights will stand together at Fairmount and El Cajon.

Three SD communities square off over Mid-City redevelopment

The Australian Government and the US State of Michigan have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on high-tech vehicle and road systems to improve road safety.
The signing took place at the University of Melbourne which has played a key role in advancing the transport technology agreement between the governments of Australia and Michigan, primarily through AIMES (Australian Integrated Multimodal EcoSystem), of which ITS Australia is an active supporter.
The MOU supports links between AIMES, home to a live test bed on Melbourne city streets, and Michigan's Mcity and American Center for Mobility off-road facilities that the partners say will be highly beneficial in progressing advancement in this field.
The MoU was signed by The Hon. Andrew Broad, Assistant Minister to the Deputy Prime Minister (pictured right), and Kirk Steudle, Director Michigan Department of Transport (pictured left).
Kirk Steudle will be keynote speaker at the ITS (UK) Summit in Bristol in November. Find out more at www.itssummit.co.uk.

Here's a column I wrote on my blog in 1999. Nowadays, the bribery law requirres proof of a quid pro quo beyond a reasonable doubt, almost impossible to prove. Hillary is probably not subject to the bribery statute cited below because she has not yet been "selected" to be a public official.
Sunday, November 21, 1999, Jackson. Nestled on page 18A of the Clarion-Ledger [Jackson, MS newspaper owned by Gannett] is the article "Critics: Battle against corruption has collapsed," recounting the welcoming by congressional staffers of Ann Eppard, former legislative chief of staff for Rep. Bud Shuster, R-Pa. Eppard had beaten a seven count federal indictment alleging that she accepted illegal gratuities, embezzled campaign funds and filed false federal documents. She pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of taking illegal compensation and received a $5,000 fine.
Since the 15th Century, the definition of bribery has remained unchanged: 1. money or favor given or promised in order to influence the judgment or conduct of a person in a position of trust; 2 : something that serves to induce or influence. Merriam-Webster Dictionary There is nothing in the definition that requires a quid pro quo, and indeed, the most insidious form of corruption is not the bestowing of gratuities for specific favors to be done, but the unspoken assumption that the official's real constituent is the giver, rather than the public, which is the legal and moral beneficiary of the trust vested in the official. The change in the statute, unnoticed by most of us, is no more or less than a license to give and receive bribes as long as giver and recipient do not agree on specific favors in return for the bribe. The unanimous Sun-Diamond decision virtually guarantees that officials are now immune from prosecution for taking bribes.
In the case of Eppard, there's no question that she's a crook. There is strong evidence that while she was Shuster's chief of staff, she accepted gratuities, embezzled campaign funds and filed false federal documents. After Shuster became chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure in 1995, she opened Ann Eppard Associates and did extremely well as a transportation lobbyist.
What's scary is that she was welcomed back into the halls of Congress like a heroine, as though she had done nothing wrong, by the representatives of the people of the United States. The fact of this reception, rather than the severity of her crimes, or the fact that she merely received a slap on the wrist, indicates not only a serious moral and ethical problem among members of the House of Representatives and their employees, but a serious moral and ethical problem among the voters who elected them. Apparently Schuster wasn't worried about retribution from the electorate.
When The Jackson Progressive first came on line, our philosophy emphasized our responsibility as citizens. Where is our responsibility in all this? What should we do? Here are our initial suggestions: 1. Write your congressman and senators and tell them that you are outraged over this matter — that public servants, as a condition of holding their position, have no business receiving one nickel, for whatever reason, from anyone except the taxpayers; 2. Convince your friends to do the same. Unless the power of big money over our elected officials is reduced, our democratic republic will, in only a few years, exist only as a pleasant memory.
Warren has said she strongly supports Hillary. So it looks like Hillary has a 50/50 chance of being our next president. As Whimsical would say, 'Better Hillary than a Republican.' Even though Hillary has shown the distance between her and the Republicans is less than 0.01 mm.
So tell me, who thinks we're getting a better deal from BarryHO than we got from Dubya? Dumb crooks are bad, smart crooks are evil. Obama's going to war-crime locations that Bush would have found beyond the pale.
I can honestly say, I have no idea why Hillary polls so well. Are there that many people who either have no idea who she is or are so desperate to have any woman president at all? Or even worse, do they actually find her LIKEABLE?
I admit I never thought much about the exorbitant speaking fees. It is obvious corruption though.
As an aside, I can't help but think of those elite types who claim to be Ayn Rand devotees but have no problems with paying or being paid for access and favors. I can only assume they have never read Atlas Shrugged or are just cynical. Likely both. Another example of ideas and figures who are misappropriated and convoluted for propaganda reasons.

Ray Enright
Birth Name: Ray Enright
Number of Films that Ray Enright Made with Humphrey Bogart: 3
Ray who? Okay, settle down. Before anyone throws a hissy fit, just take a deep breath and realize that Director and Editor Ray Enright was the type of guy that kept Warner Brothers rolling. Were his films giant colossal hits? Not really. But on many weekends, when there was nothing huge in the theater, people could often relax and enjoy a musical, a romantic comedy, or a Western directed by Enright.
I'll also admit that one of his Bogie collaborations – Swing Your Lady – is in my "Top 3" guilty pleasures of Bogart's filmography. But more on that later.
Born in Indiana and raised in L.A., Enright started as a cutter in Hollywood before taking a break to serve in World War I, and then returning to Warner Brothers to cut for two more years before becoming a director. I've done a little research on what exactly a "cutter" is, since it seems to me that if Enright had strictly been an editor, it would be listed that way. The cutter appears to be an assistant position alongside an editor on a film that works on some of the more manual tasks of physically cutting the film and rearranging scenes according to the editor's desires.
Yes, Bogart has been quoted as saying that Enright directed his "worst" film (again, we'll get to that later…), but come on. . . there are a handful of real doozy's out there. To claim that any of the three films Enright was a part of were the "worst" is kind of stretching it. (A Holy Terror, anyone???)
Enright was also the director who was inadvertently involved in Bogart being suspended from Warner Brothers after the actor balked at starring in the Enright directed Western, Bad Men from Missouri. According to the Sperber/Lax Bogie bio, the actor returned the script with "Are you kidding–?" written on the cover.
All that said, Enright is a multi-time Bogart collaborator. The man worked with everyone from Rin Tin Tin to Joan Blondell to Randoph Scott. And I personally love one of his flops. Hey! I'm in charge here! The man goes into The Usual Suspects! If ya got a problem with that, and you wanna get slapped, come on over and complain about it!
China Clipper – 1936
There was a moment about fifteen minutes into this film where I thought I might have found a real hidden gem. China Clipper isn't widely available to watch or purchase, and I was just getting ready to write my complaint email to Warner Brothers when I suddenly understood the lack of enthusiasm behind the film.
The problem comes about midway through. Star Pat O'Brien seems to hit the peak of his character arc and just kind of flat lines. He learns his lesson on why he shouldn't abuse his friends, family, wife, and coworkers, and he makes his apologies. Unfortunately, there's still a good forty minutes left in the movie and the character apparently has nowhere left to go. Not only that, but whatever growth supposedly took place is quickly ignored as he reverts back to old habits, except now we're supposed to be sympathetic to the same plight that alienated him from everyone who loves him.
This is a rare melodramatic turn for Director Enright who tended to go for lighter fare. If you like to watch repetitive shots of an airplane flying through clouds, maybe you'll like the ending better than I did, but once O' Brien's character began to lose steam, I did too.
Swing Your Lady – 1938
Ronald Reagan. Frank McHugh. Nat Pendleton. Penny Singleton. Allen Jenkins. Come on! You can give this one some grace, can't you?
For all of the horrible things that I'd heard about this movie, I don't think it's nearly as bad as its reputation. It's got a 4.5 user rating on IMDB and that seems unfairly harsh. Perhaps my expectations were so low that anything would've seemed better than the horror that I expected. I watched this one late at night in a hotel and enjoyed it so much that I immediately bought the DVD.
This film is much more along the lines of Director Enright's usual fare of goofy characters, stretched out plots, and light love stories. Bogart is Ed Hatch, a traveling professional wrestling promoter who's trying to break into the big time at Madison Square Garden.
Fortunately, what the movie lacks in plot coherency, I thought it actually made up for in charm. Do Bogart's small town intentions make sense? In the long run, nope. Are a few of the characters a little over-caricatured? Oh, yeah. But every one of them was able to squeak out at least one or two laughs from me. There are some fun musical numbers (another Enright-ism) and enough comedic actors packed in to make it worth at least one viewing. Come on, people! Let's get those user ratings up for this one!
And to be fair, Warner Bros agreed to give Bogart a raise if he agreed to to this one. So, worth it, right? Okay, sure, it bombed at the theaters – but some critics of the time liked it!
The Wagons Roll at Night – 1941
So . . . this one might have been in trouble from the beginning as the name for the film was changed from Carnival to The Wagons Roll at Night to try and cash in on that really popular "at/by night" theme that worked so well with They Drive by Night. You know how audiences turn out in droves to see films that take place at night, right?
Director Enright does a good job working the camera angles and cutting the film in such a way that it's easy to forget Eddie Albert, Sig Ruman, and Bogart were rarely (if ever, in some cases) in the cage with the lions. It's these life-or-death situations that lend an extra dose of gravitas to the film.
It's important to note that Warner Brothers got some flack for making a movie that seemed to be a real retread of a previous Bogart film. You might find that understandable if you take just a second to consider this plot –
An entertainment promoter replaces his top drawing performer with an untrained yokel. The promoter's girlfriend then ends up falling for the yokel and believes that he might be falling for her as well. Due to outside circumstances, the yokel has to disappear for a while until some trouble simmers down and ends up staying at the farm where the promoter grew up. While at the farm, he ends up falling in love with the promoter's sister and it eventually leads to a life or death scenario for several of the characters involved . . .
Sound familiar to you Bogart die hards? It should. As it's the exact same plot for both 1937's Kid Galahad as well as 1941's The Wagons Roll at Night. Replace boxing with the circus, Edward G. Robinson with Bogart, Bette Davis with Sylvia Sydney, and Wayne Morris with Eddie Albert, and Wagons is practically identical. (To carry the comparison to completion, you also have to replace Kid Galahad's Bogart with The Wagons Roll at Night's man-eating lion. Pretty even swap, if you ask me.)
Still, despite the similarities, there's plenty to enjoy here. Yes, we lose Robinson and Davis, but Sylvia Sydney does fine, and Eddie Albert might even be an ever-so-slight step up from Wayne Morris' stiff amateur boxer. The change of locale is really what helps this film distinguish itself from Galahad, as the excitement of the circus life and the action with the lions adds an entirely new element of tension to the story.
While the stakes in Galahad rest in the possibility of eventual death at the hands of mobsters, The Wagon's Roll at Night is able to present a much more immediate and constant threat for its protagonist from the hazards of the lion taming occupation.
Is one better than the other? Well, if I had my druthers, I'd always prefer to keep Robinson and Davis in the equation with Bogart, but overall I found The Wagons Roll at Night to be a more re-watchable film. More than likely that's because Bogart got top billing and appears in a majority of the scenes – but entertainment wise, I think this one has an edge over its boxing predecessor.
*The Usual Suspects is an ongoing section of the blog where I highlight some of Bogart's more regular collaborators. You can read the rest of the write ups here.*

One of Unity's dirty secrets is that (out of the box) it's plain awful as a prototyping tool. You can fix that, but it requires quite a lot of work. I'm going to start publishing my fixes one by one. Here's the first: a test-bed for making custom meshes.
The main reason to use a 3rd party engine is to avoid re-inventing the wheel; it's tragic that Unity can't even do mouse-input out of the box. Let's fix it!
Completely impossible, due to short-sighted design decisions in the Unity Editor from 10 years ago that never got changed. So, let's fix it. It's hugely annoying not being able to do this!
iOS forces you to use pretty animations: if you don't tell it otherwise, it will use "ease-in/ease-out" curves to make things feel … smoother, less jerky.
Unity is made for programmers; changes you make to position, size, rotation, etc all happen instantaneously. By default, they won't even animate, will teleport instead.
So … moving from "prototype with no animation" to "prototype that won't hurt people's eyes, and I can share", what are some tips and gotchas?
I needed fast, efficient, … but powerful, adaptable … pathfinding for my hobby project. My minions have to fly, walk, crawl, teleport, tunnel their way across a procedural landscape. Getting to that point has been tricky, but the journey's been interesting.
You downloaded Unity, watched some tutorials on YouTube, and had a physics "game" running the same day. Excited, you started writing the game you've always wanted to make. Possibly – bitten before when trying this with GameMaker etc – you thought to organize your source code: folders, subfolders, logically-named scripts, etc.
Fast-forward a few months, and you have 50 scripts in 40 sub-folders, some of it re-usable, some of it hardcoded for your game. Hoooo-Kayyyy… Well, it's not too bad. And then a new opportunity comes along – a paid contract, a game-jam, a collaboration with a friend – and you want to re-use some code from your main project. You look at the folder structure, you look at how intertwined it's all become … and you weep.
Without re-use, what seemed like an "easy" project becomes just a little too much work, and you never finish it. Back to square one :(.
There are five major aspects to code re-use when making Unity apps. Most of these are shared with general programming, but these are the ones I've found *especially* important when doing Unity development.
The best way to get good at naming things in a program is to focus on "what makes a bad name", and "Don't do that". e.g.
If you have to open a Script to remember what it does … it has the wrong name.
If your script is more than a thousand lines long … it's the wrong name AND you've put too much junk in there; split it!
Renaming scripts in Unity is a minor pain: you rename it, then you have to close the file in MonoDevelop, re-open it, and (assuming it was a C# class) rename the class in source-code too. (I keep hoping latest Unity will do this automatically, but I'm a version behind at the moment).
… you can never have too many. Give them good names, though!
Ah, now it gets tricky. The art of decoupling takes much practice to master.
Decoupling is why C# (and Java) has the "interface" keyword. The concept is much easier to understand after you cocked it up, written code you can't re-use, because everything's too inter-dependent.
Unity itself doesn't use Interfaces (though it really ought to!) – and you have to use a little ingenuity to use them yourself (Google it, it's only a few small caveats). But C#-interfaces simply give you a compiler-compatible way of decoupling: you have to design your classes as decoupled to start with. Again, google this and ask around – it's too big a topic for me to do justice to here!
Libraries. This is why The God Of Programming invented Libraries. So, how do you do a Library in Unity?
A DLL is a great way of packaging code – it's a very widely-used standard. So, Unity uses DLL's for this (good move) – but if you google "Unity make DLL" you'll get distracted by the huge complexity and depth of C++/Unity integration, and you don't need any of it. Instead, you'll be doing "DLL light", which is easy.
But, as with most Unity features, it's almost entirely undocumented. And, out of the box, it will fail. For bonus points, Unity will give you completely the wrong error message when it goes wrong. Yay!
Make a second script that uses that first one, e.g.
…attach it to a GameObject, check it works.
You'd think this would be enough, but it isn't. However, the docs are simple, direct, and I found them easy to follow.
NB: they write a slightly more complex script to use than mine, with but whatever. The idea is the same.
Now that your DLL is compiling/building in MonoDevelop … you are no longer stuck with Unity's arbitrary rules and restrictions! The world is yours!
Step 4: What about the [square brackets]?
These Just Work ™ exactly as they did in Unity scripts. e.g.
This is where it breaks. If you had any Editor scripts (which, in Unity, MUST be stored in the "Editor" root folder, or one of its subfolders), you can include them in your DLL – but they won't work.
Error: multi-object editing not supported !
…at least, you do in Unity 3.x. Fixed in 4.x, I suspect? But I haven't gone back to try it since I fixed the bug :).
There is some mumbo-jumbo on the internet (and Unity forums) about complicated workarounds, notably courtesy of AngryAnt (with a Jan 2014 post here, with some extra info worth reading but NOT required!). But these are long-since outdated and unnecessary. The fix is very simple: we must create TWO DLL's!
DLL #2: will contain ONLY the editor-scripts, and we'll drag/drop it into Unity's "Editor" folder.
This is extremely logical, simple, and easy to remember. And it works beautifully! But .. how?
As you did earlier, choose "Library (C#)". I recommend naming this "SomethingSomethingEditorScripts" (where "SomethingSomething" is your library name, which you used for the first DLL).
…see how I have two "projects" in MonoDevelop, one which just uses normal Unity stuff, the other which additionally uses Unity Editor stuff? And the second one "references" the first, so it can see/use/create the classes and methods from the first one.
Build, and find the output files. The first project/DLL will still only be making one DLL, but the folder for the SECOND project/DLL will conveniently build BOTH projects and contain BOTH DLL's.
Make sure you put one DLL "anywhere except Editor" and the other one "in Editor, or a subfolder of Editor".
Finally, create some GameObject's, open up the DLL's in Unity's Project view (expand the triangle) and drag/drop the Scripts onto your objects as desired. Click on them in the Scene view, and all your OnGUI, OnGizmos etc methods should run exactly as normal.
Now you can share your code with other Unity projects simply by drag/dropping the 2 x DLL's into a new Unity project. BOOM!

Thinking Big With Frederik Molenschot
Located on the historic Hembrugterrein in Zaandam, just a short ferry ride from Amsterdam's west port, is the design studio of self-proclaimed baker, artist and public space designer Frederik van Molenschot. Studio Molen resides in a 1,000m2 former munitions factory that's currently being transformed into an all-in-one studio, home and gallery. The door opens and Frederik waves us in. "Let me show you around so you have a better idea of what we do here," he yells over the buzzing of drills and the hammering above.
We can barely keep up, his pace and enthusiasm are overwhelming as he points out the bespoke numerals he created for Huys 404 (a Piet Boon-designed building in New York City) and a gigantic, rollercoaster-like mould he used to make one of his famous CityLight Chandeliers. There's an electric energy in the space that seems to suit Frederik well. When we finally sit down, his thoughts spill out in an unsurprising vigorous flurry that's as engaging as it is entertaining.
I am a baker
He slides a large book titled 'I Am a Baker' across the table. I ask him if he actually makes bread and he laughs, "Not right now, but my first job was working in a bakery in my hometown of Breda. I loved watching how simple ingredients were moulded into something new, a handmade object more than the sum of its part." What he does at Studio Molen isn't much different, he's just using 'ingredients' like bronze instead of flour. As Frederik flicks through the pages of the book, a publication he made for Milan's Salone del Mobile in 2016, I notice smudges of ink on his hands.
He doesn't mind getting his hands dirty, whether it's a sketch of a new idea, a water-reactive patio tile (Solid Poetry, 2007), a wheelbarrow kitchen for portable cooking (Molenkitchen, 2010), or a ginger root inspired chandelier (Ginger Blimp Chandelier, 2014). His creations aren't conventional and that's the point. "I don't find it very interesting to explain my work in detail," he admits. "It's more about the aesthetics. I'm someone who wants to be authentic and original"
I think big
Frederik is a pretty tall guy and much of his work, from public art commissions to design concepts for buildings, is monumental in size. 'Big' is something that comes back quite often, in his work and in his life. "I'm from a large family" he explains. "My father's side of the family ran a business in industrial scales for more than 150 years. Ever since I was a kid I've been more interested in big, powerful objects like boat anchors, tractors, trees and large structures like buildings and airports." At the same time, he grew up in a small city in the south of Holland, and admits to experiencing culture shock when travelling outside of the country to Munich and Shanghai, to take part in the Siemens Mobile Design Lab after graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2005.
Impressed by the immense size of Shanghai, ("I grew up in Breda, a city of 600,000 people, and all of a sudden I was one in 16 million!") he started mapping out the growth of the city, a project that later inspired his work CityLight Chandeliers. The rollercoaster-like shape of the sculptures – fit with lamps in varying sizes to reference the anamorphic effect of passing streetlights on a highway – mimics the shape of Shanghai's dizzying seven-lane highways. Twenty-five metres long and weighing a total of 300 kg, the chandeliers are a force to be reckoned with: "I want people to see my work and feel overwhelmed."
I don't really like change
For someone who dreams as big as Frederik does, he's surprisingly grounded. He travels often for work, to exhibitions and fairs around the world thanks to his collaboration with London, Paris and New York-based Carpenters Workshop Gallery, but it doesn't look like he'll be moving any time soon. "Amsterdam is the best home ever, I can't imagine living anywhere else," he says. "The Netherlands is super small but that's what I like about it – we have so many opportunities to be ourselves, to focus on our own work and live our own lives." And while he moves, thinks and talks fast ("I'm a five-minute kind of guy!") he admits that he doesn't really like change. "I make design-related decisions quite quickly, but decisions about life or the business I make cautiously. It's not about speed, it's about finding your own rhythm and balance in life. My focus is on the long-term, not on quick success."

Is it normal for married people to have separate bank accounts? I'm not talking about "my money vs. your money" type of accounts, where nothing is shared. I'm talking about "all our money, but this is what you can spend" type of accounts.
Since we got married (almost 4 years ago), we shared one bank account and one credit card. We each deposited and withdrew from the same ones. I always thought that when you got married, that was how it was supposed to be. I would hear about people who had separate accounts, and I always thought it was weird, like the two people wanted to keep secret purchases from each other or something.
As time went on and we started saving money, we noticed that we were having a hard time getting past a certain number, and it was because I felt like I had nearly unlimited funds. We decided to set up a smaller account to help me budget, and to give me the option to save for special things that I want that Conrad doesn't usually like to spend money on.
I'll tell you something. I actually really like it. I have my set amount (or allowance) for the month, and I'm responsible for groceries, car maintenance, general shopping needs (and wants), and some household stuff. We decided that I would also budget for Christmas. Crazy! One thing I love about having the account is that I can budget almost anything into the month's spending, as long as I take care of those other things. It's also my own account for the money I make.
What about you guys? Do you have separate accounts? Do you like it or do you think it's weird and that things should be joint? What are your responsibilities if you do have separate accounts?
We have always had separate accounts/credit cards. 8+ years and it's worked well for us!
We have separate accounts and I dont mind one bit. I have a debit card to my hubs account but he doesnt have one to mine. He makes the bulk of the money so its kinda unnecessary. I take care of a couple of bills as does he. For us it's worked well. I also have to say when it comes to xmas and birthdays, its nice to buy him something I have saved for.
We've been married for a year and a half, and we have a joint account. Our credit cards are separate, but that was because we both had those before we got married--we're working to pay those off, and then hopefully we won't need to use them often.
I'm loving the idea of having my own account--so that I know how much I need/want to spend every month. You're right, seeing one account with both incomes really does make me think we have more to spend than we do!
We share a bank account. It's just WAY easier to keep track of things that way. Either one of us can check the bank account and see how we're doing. It seems to work pretty well for us.
We've been married for over three years and we share all expenses. I figure there's no point in splitting it up if we're using the mentality "what's yours is mine and what's mine is yours." If I want to save to buy something, we decide on it together because all of our purchases are joint as well.
It was definitely an adjustment when we got married! I was so used to being able to spend what I wanted and then all of a sudden someone else was taking money out of the account too! We have a combined bank account but each week we each get a cash allowance. Then we can spend it all or save it up if we want. So far it's working pretty well!
Crazy as it seems we have both! Try Dave Ramsey, he is legit!
I have heard married couples recommend separate bank accounts. IT just makes it less stressful for them. My parents have both a joint account, and then each separate accounts.
We have a joint and it works just fine for us. I take care of all the bills and budgeting, plus make the bulk of our income so it's just easier for me to have it all together. We talk about any big purchases we want to make beforehand and have a general rule that we can each spend $20 a month on random items we want. We've been married almost a year and haven't had any problems with it yet.
We have a joint account, which is great for us, partially because we also live on only one income. But we're both savers by nature, so we don't have any problem with looking at the money left in our account and still wanting to save it up rather than spend it!
Married 6 years and we have a joint account. Now that I work part time I appreciate the fact that we treat our money as just that our money. I don't feel bad because I am not bringing in as much. Early on in our relationship we struggled with what my husband thought were silly purchases I.e. mani/pedis and eyebrow waxings. To ease the tension we decided on a weekly allowance for each of us. I buy myself my gossip mags, beauty stuff and any stuff I do with my friends out of my allowance. Hubby uses his allowance mainly to buy tickets to sports games or happy hour. There is no fighting since that money is accounted for in the budget.
I don't think that's weird at all. We have joint everything, but I just recently started to give him a budget for what his "allowance" is.
We have separate accounts, BUT my hubs' name is on my account so they're linked online. My paycheck goes in mine, his in his, but then I can combine the funds in the two through transfers to pay bills. I think we'll probably end up with just one account at some point but for right now that works ok for us.
We have separate accounts and it works out wonderfully for us. The way that we each spend money determines what our responsibilities are. I am a penny-pincher who budgets and saves for the tough times and the future. My husband is more of a we-have-it-now-so-why-not-enjoy-it-now type of guy. Consequently, I write out a budget and savings plan for the month (we save monthly, but months with birthdays/holidays/once-a-year expenses need more saved) and am in charge of paying the bills and building our savings. Right now I'm not working as much (I'd rather be home with my 5 month old) so my husband gives me the money for any bills and savings transfers I can't cover. He is also in charge of gas and groceries. After those things are covered he is free to spend the money in his account on date nights and fun stuff for each of us to do. Basically, by having separate accounts, I can keep him on top of the bills and he can keep me spontaneous and fun. :-) I love it!

Bloodline series finale recap: 'Part 33'
You can never escape being a Rayburn
By Justin Kirkland May 28, 2017 at 04:00 PM EDT
"I used to think the greatest thing to ever happen to me was being born a Rayburn."
Well, here we are, at the end of the road. Bloodline is ending after a three-season run at Netflix and the Rayburns as we know them will cease to show up as our late spring fix that makes us appreciate our own families. At its best moments, Bloodline was a prestige drama that showed off some incredible acting chops from Ben Mendelsohn, Sissy Spacek, and others on the show. At its worst, John had a number of fever dreams about Danny coming back from the dead. And that's a great place to start today… because John is in deep. I'm not talking about his dive into the ocean where he may have died/drowned/been resuscitated/killed his mom/etc. I'm talking about the whole season: the murders, the cover-ups, the seeing Danny literally everywhere.
We're back in the real world, and Eric is out in the world doing community service. Sally is showing people around the inn. Kevin is getting yelled at by Jake. Meg is running. And John? John is still driving. He drives up to the site where Eric is doing his community service and says that he's going to do everything he can to make things right between his family and Eric. But Eric isn't having it. He's done with the Rayburns, but he does hope that John will keep Nolan out of it all.
At the inn, Sally's doctor/Roy's friend is watching with his wife as she uses her charm to soothe guests into their stay at the Rayburn Inn. It seems pretty calm across the board, but then there's Kevin. Good ol' Kevin hops in his truck and a man puts a gun to Kevin's neck. He wants help from Kevin because Nick, that man that Kevin thought he befriended, is actually a Fed and the whole Cuban operation Kevin has been put on by Roy is crumbling.
Speaking of crumbling, John goes to the doctor because he's worried. About what exactly? Who knows. Probably seeing his dead brother. But the doctor insists that he's fine… so fine that he tells John to stop taking his blood pressure medicine to help identify its possible side effects. John heads back to the house, and it's clear that things are still very much up in the air when Danny appears again. With Beth Mackey. Danny says she's part of the family, but the reasons as to why aren't clear. Maybe she's the love child from Robert's affair? Maybe just another extension of the Rayburn clan? Who knows.
At Kevin's place, Belle calls out to him in the night and asks for him to bring her some water, but all she hears is the water running from the bathroom. The door is locked, and she can't get him to respond. Thinking the worst, she runs to the garage to discover a naked Kevin with a loaded gun. He says not to look at him, and he puts the gun to his head. He puts the gun down after admitting that the DEA knows everything about his operation with the Cubans. Belle tells Kevin to get John because John can fix everything… except himself, honestly.
Kevin goes to John, but he immediately folds after being judged by John. He says John has this stare, but I'm pretty sure that's just Kyle Chandler's face. Eventually, John asks what exactly Kevin wants him to do for him, but it's possible that Kevin doesn't even know. When John goes to his and Diana's place, Diana admits she wasn't sure what to do after John's accident, which ultimately leads to her admitting that her entire relationship with the Rayburn family can be summed up in one word: sad. The whole family is always sad, which doesn't feel like an unfair assessment. She goes on to say that she's always loved John, but that love… it's just not enough. He apologizes to Diana, but it's too late. She walks out, and John is left in tears.
Back at Sally's place, she finally admits to John's kids that she's going to sell the inn. When they express shock, she explains that when she thought of all the happiness and blessings she's had in her life, she thought about the house and not the people. Yikes. Not a great thing to hear from your grandma. But what is really great is that she's going to leave them the money from the place, which always makes the dispersal of your childhood memories go down a bit better.
John meets with a detective and calls out that he knows Kevin is under a secret investigation. He wants to help Kevin, but it will require some legwork on Kevin's end. And it's also going to require him to out his de facto dad Roy. Kevin is 100 percent not interested, and when he gets a call directly from the Cubans threatening his family, Kevin makes the one totally wrong move he could make: He goes to Roy.
(Recap continues on page 2)
When Kevin makes it to the hospital, he can't find Roy. When the nurse asks him what he's looking for, she has to inform Kevin that he can't get updates on Roy because he's not family. Hey, Kevin, did you hear that? Not. Family. He's left wondering what's going on as his entire family is on the line.
Let's take a departure from the Rayburn world and catch up with former-nurse-now-waitress Chelsea. She's just waiting and doing her job when John shows up asking where Nolan is, but she tells John to go f— himself. Nolan doesn't need John in his life — kid has enough problems on his own. So John goes home and finds Kevin sitting outside of the inn. The music inside is crazy loud, and Sally is inside wasted. Why? Because she found out Roy's dead. And John jumps to the conclusion… Roy was the man she had an affair with. Kevin hates that theory, but it seems like it could be pretty sound.
John goes inside and turns off the music only to find Sally standing at the sink, water running, static. She launches into a discussion of how the super moon affects the tide: It makes the sea rise, and it takes it. Everything: her kids, the inn, everything. Confused, John asks what's going on, and Sally reveals that she was going to sell the inn, but she can't because after experts came in, she was informed that in a couple of years, the whole place will be underwater anyway (THANKS, GLOBAL WARMING). But most of all, Sally feels like she's wasted her entire life, as a businesswoman and a mother.
But when Kevin tries to comfort her, Sally goes all in and explains how messed up Danny was. And the girls… she only had sweet things to say about. But for Kevin, she said that there were complications and that if they had left him inside her, he probably wouldn't have survived, so they cut him out, and she shouldn't have let him so he could have proven himself and found his strength. And if you think that's bad, let's talk about John, who ripped Sally upon delivery. She blamed him for everything: for Danny, for Sarah, and for the entire Rayburn demise. He was the one that caused the most damage, but John is broken at this point. All he has to say is, "You have no idea what family is. You never have." It's a KILLER scene for Sissy Spacek, but man is it tough to watch. She's left alone in her kitchen with a legacy and a house that is ultimately worth nothing.
John goes to a bar, and what do you know, Danny appears again. They flash back to the time Danny offered John his first cigarette, and adult Danny asks John, "How did you see me? How did you see me growing up?" But in the back and forth that is John's current life, we switch between Danny and Nolan sitting in front of John. Nolan wants to know the truth about what happened to Danny, and Danny tells John that this is his chance. He can be honest and switch the way that the Rayburn family works.
The next day, John meets with that detective and tells him Kevin's willing to turn himself in for the Cuban deal. And when Kevin tells Belle about the deal, he agrees that it's the best case situation for the team. But when John and the cops show up the next day to take Kevin in, Kevin doesn't come to the door. John lets himself in, and it appears that Kevin and Belle have taken off. One of the detectives says, "I know this guy, he's no genius." Have truer words never been said.
Kevin calls John back and he puts it on speaker phone, allowing Kevin to completely out himself and reveal where he is — his plans to escape with Belle and his entire strategy to start fresh in Cuba. The Coast Guard almost immediately catches up to the boat, but when they open the hatch, it's one of the Cuban men behind the trade. I stand corrected: Kevin isn't totally ignorant. He and Belle continue to escape in a much smaller boat.
Outside of the inn, Nolan and Beth Mackey sit outside and Nolan says he's finally going to ask John about what happened to Danny. Beth says he can just let it go, but Nolan isn't ready to shake it off. He can't rise above the same motivation that his dad had. In an office, John gets a call from a blocked number. It's Kevin on the other end, and they've made it to Cuba. John was in on the plan all along. He just wanted Kevin to escape. So it wasn't Kevin that was the brains behind the situation. When Kevin asks if John, Meg, and Sally could come and visit, he says no. He's got to end it… all of it.
So we return to the lines that opened this episode. The ones where John said he's going to tell the truth about everything. So he tells Franco about how he's responsible for Danny's death and framing Eric for Marco's murder. But Franco stops him because John's been through a lot of stress (but seriously) and he's been through enough (probably). But Aguirre isn't going to let John hang himself on this. He's going to Boston to take the partnership with Mike. Belle, being a total idiot made in idiot heaven with Kevin, forgot to turn her GPS off on her phone, so they're getting brought into the States tomorrow. Before their journey started, it's over.
John returns to the inn, and he hears voices in the distance of his past: the parties and family moments that made the Rayburns so perfect and unattainable and deeply flawed. Looking out the window, he sees Nolan on the dock and older Danny puts a hand on his shoulder and tells him to go tell Nolan the truth. Young Danny looks back at John through the window and says Nolan doesn't need to know. But as John approaches Danny on the dock, he simply looks at him, and that's the end. No, I'm not kidding. That's it. Bloodline ends on a knowing stare. Maybe it only took a look for Nolan to know. Maybe it was a cliffhanger cut short by Netflix. Maybe it was creative storytelling gone… awry. But regardless, that's Bloodline.
Meg is presumably still running. Kevin is caught. Danny is dead, and Sally is getting the worst mom award this year. And John? Well, this time, John is still as complexly and brokenly entrenched in his past as he ever was. That's just the Rayburn way.

Missouri charity exec indicted in Arkansas bribery scheme
Originally published February 22, 2018 at 5:44 am
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — A former Missouri charity executive has been indicted in a conspiracy that has ensnared a former Arkansas state representative.
The nine-count federal indictment was unsealed Wednesday after the arrest of 56 -year-old Milton Russell Cranford, of Rogers, Arkansas. Cranford was a lobbyist and served as an executive of a Springfield, Missouri, nonprofit's operations in the state of Arkansas.
The indictment alleges that Cranford and former Arkansas Rep. Eddie Wayne Cooper received $264,000 in secret kickback payments from a New Jersey co-conspirator. Prosecutors say the co-conspirator was paid nearly $1 million by the charity in a bribery scheme that lasted from 2011 until 2017.
Cooper became a lobbyist after leaving the legislature in 2011. He pleaded guilty in a separate indictment to conspiracy to embezzle from the nonprofit, Preferred Family Healthcare.

Quarter: Fall 2015
I took all three sections of this class, Modernism 1A,1B,and 1C, and it definitely was a hard ass class. It is a requirement for all the art and art history kids so it sucks for us. But Sami definitely is very passionate and knowledgable, and even very funny, This class being three hours long and starting very early in the morning kinda sucked. Sami would have done a lot better if it was an hour thirty minute class, two sections a week. Anyways, I would say the class material is difficult and the tests and one paper is too. I suggest recording the class instead of reading up to 70 pages a week (which is a requirement) and trying to focus for 3 hours straight every class, because the class is too long but everything he says is gold when it comes to exams and papers. Exams are ALWAYS on specific artworks, and he gives out 4 prompts that asks you to compares two artworks from class. If you record the class, you just gotta go look at the part where Sami talks about the specific artworks on the prompt. Do read a little bit for the sake of pop quizzes. He chooses the worst time for them (like the very last class).
Good luck to everyone who has to take this class. I don't really suggest this to people (outside the art and art history department) who doesn't know much about art or does not have much passion on this subject.

people who think this is an easy GE, it is not. For three hours, he just keeps talking, but you have to write down every point he says. FOR 2.5 HOURS! there is no note on the lecture. Only pictures. Also, you gotta read a lot. Just don't take this for people who are considering this as their GE.

Rights Committee Charter (2023)
How we provide value to the industry
Drawn from survey work and the committee's direct perspective, the current state of rights management in book publishing continues to be characterized as follows:
The importance of rights transactions is growing, as international demand for content and licensing increases, as new publishing models have emerged, and as publishers invest to fulfill their "duty of care" responsibilities to content creators.
A significant opportunity exists to develop the infrastructure required to obtain revenue from existing contracted deals. Clarifying "who owns what" would reduce instances in which rights transactions are considered too difficult to monetize. Investing in systems to track agreements and monetize rights investments can build and keep up with transaction volume.
Improving what we know about rights holders and related rights can deliver meaningful rights revenue, as organizations identify and take advantage of opportunities to increase revenues through new rights licensing initiatives.
Work-from-home requirements have accelerated overall use of digital workflows, highlighting how far behind the rights segment of the supply chain is compared with other segments. Rights holders and rights buyers would benefit from workflow improvements, including the use of an industry-wide taxonomy for rights, implementation of rights metadata standards, digitization of information stored in physical media, automated workflows that track deals, agreements and payment statuses. The value of these improvements and more have been confirmed by BISG research in 2017 and 2020.
The rights committee identifies the most important rights-related problems facing the publishing industry, identifies areas of consensus where standards or best practices would be valuable, and leads online and in-person events to inform the broader rights community. To support these efforts, the committee will continue to meet on an every-other-month basis in 2023, dedicating alternate months to working-group consideration of pending deliverables.
Stakeholder Impact/Benefits
There are multiple audiences for the work done by the rights committee:
Rights-related professionals who need core skills and an understanding of the relevant technology
Those making rights-related investment decisions who need to understand the opportunities available through improved rights management, including its impact on M&A value
Publishing professionals whose work touches upon rights, and who may not fully understand rights management and its implications for their roles
Accurately communicating rights information between parties can grow revenue, reduce transaction costs, and avoid costly errors. Making rights information more accessible for both internal and external audiences also improves publishers' ability to financially benefit from their intellectual property.
In 2023 the Rights Committee will:
Expand participation in the full committee and its working group, recruiting rights professionals from the agent, publisher, and industry partner segments. Outreach efforts to engage more international representatives will be discussed.
Plan and deliver rights-related programming that includes: Recommendations for Royalty Statement Standards (webinar scheduled for August 15); An in-person Rights Committee Program (scheduled for September 28) focused on trends in rights; and other sessions using prior content accompanied by a live Q&A.
Continue to build a centralized rights resource on BISG website, including: the Rights FAQ, to be maintained as needed; the Directory of Imprint owners, to be posted and updated as more information is gathered; Recommended standards for Royalty Statements; and Links to previously held webinars.
Seek out and monitor new technology related to rights management and transactions (smart contracts, rights hub, blockchain).
Different parts of the rights community see problems in different ways, and they pursue solutions with different methods and, at times, conflicting objectives. Those working outside of rights do not see effective rights management as a fundamental source of significant revenue and enterprise value. As a result, reaching a diverse set of target stakeholders may be a challenge, and willingness to invest in rights management may be difficult to foster.
The committee has chosen to meet bi-monthly, instead of monthly, with working group meetings in the months when the full committee does not meet. The committee expects that deliverables will more readily emerge from working groups, but less frequent meetings might delay the full committee from responding to issues and challenges that develop over the course of the coming year.

Birmingham Christmas Lights Switch On
Band pulls out of Christmas lights show
SKA band The Ordinary Boys have pulled out of tonight's Christmas Lights concert in Birmingham at the last minute.
Birmingham Live
But organisers revealed rock band The Automatic are stepping in to save the day.
Birmingham City Council and BRMB radio station revealed The Ordinary Boys, who surged to fame after lead singer Preston appeared in Celebrity Big Brother and married co-inmate Chantelle, had dropped out of the concert at Millennium Point.
A BRMB spokesman said: "I was only informed yesterday that Ordinary Boys were no longer available to perform at the event. That is the only reason we were given.
"We have brought in The Automatic, though, which we believe is more than a suitable replacement."
The Automatic's hit Monster reached number four in the singles chart this year and are tipped for further success.
The band, made up of four teenagers Rob, Pennie, Iwan and Frost, from the small Welsh village of Cowbridge, are looking forward to performing to a Birmingham crowd.
The free four-hour Christmas Lights Switch On concert kicks off at 3pm.
Heart-throbs McFly, Ocean Colour Scene and Lil' Chris will all star at the event before ex-Blue singer Simon Webbe switches on the lights at 7.30pm.
There is also set to be a dazzling firework and laser show as a finale to the event shortly before 8pm.
BRMB DJs Elliott and Caroline are keeping families entertained between acts, while a funfair and food stalls are set to make it a bumper night of festive fun.
