Please join us for the dedication of Tree Spire, a permanent installation, on Thursday, December 10th at 12:30 pm.

A gift to the families and citizens that enjoy Whitaker Park!

Funded by Burning Man and exhibited in Black Rock City 2007, “Tree Spire” was the first project created by the Seattle art collective, the Iron Monkeys.  They created 4 fifteen-foot tall trees that were part of the “Mangrove”, a group of simulated trees fashioned from recycled industrial materials, surrounding the center-focused icon The Man.  These artificial trees were not burned: they survived to subdivide the blue of other skies.

Brought to the south bank of the Truckee River in downtown Reno, on the corner of Sierra Street and Island Avenue after the 2008 Burning Man event, the “Tree Spire” was displayed in the center of a collection of eight tree sculptures made by five different artist collectives called The Mangrove.  The creative works were made from construction waste and reclaimed materials.  The Black Rock Arts Foundation and a Project Grant from the City of Reno’s Art and Culture Commission funded this project.

The Black Rock Arts Foundation was awarded a Public Art Challenge Grant in 2008 towards the permanent installation of “Tree Spire” in a city park.  That grant was matched by donations from Ward 5, Old Northwest Neighborhood Advisory Board, and City Councilman David Aiazzi to place the sculpture in Whitaker Park.  Additional funding came from The Robert Z. Hawkins Foundation, Reno Burners LLC, and the Black Rock Arts Foundation.

The Black Rock Arts Foundation thanks the following people, businesses and organizations for their generous support of Tree Spire:

• City of Reno: Christine Fey, Stacey Spain, Councilman David Aiazzi, City
  of Reno Parks & Recreation
• Black Rock Arts Foundation: Crimson Rose, Maria Partridge
• Reno Volunteers: Richard Johnson, Bill Schultz, Erika Wesnousky, Dave Kaul, Berry Scott
• Ward 5, Old Northwest Neighborhood Advisory Board
• Robert Z. Hawkins Foundation
• Reno Burners LLC
• Fernley Electric
• Ahearn Equipment, Inc.
• Clean Energy Center
• Telesto Nevada Inc.
• United Ready Mix
• Black Rock City, LLC – Burning Man

AND to the Artists that made it happen: Tabasco Mills, T-Bone, Dave and the Iron Monkeys!

The Iron Monkeys are a Seattle-based metalworking collective, working under the gentle guidance and watchful eye of Tabasco Mills, owner of Seattle’s The Blacksmith Shop www.theblacksmithshop.com/ironmonkeys.html .

They work together creating large-scale sculptural pieces, often containing functional elements, and work collaboratively to evolve designs as each work is being developed.  Their work has been on display temporarily in Black Rock City at the Burning Man event, Reno Mangrove, Burien Interim Arts Space, and permanently at Rainier Vista’s Central Park in South Seattle, Washington and now in Whitaker Park, in northwest Reno, Nevada.

Thomas O’Toole points us to yet another issue with Google customer service, where an author who holds the copyright on his own books published them online but was denied the ability to put AdSense on the site, after Google told him it had found “it contains copyrighted material.” Of course, this makes no sense. Nearly every website “contains copyrighted material,” because any new creative content placed in a fixed form — such as a website — is automatically covered by copyright. What I’m guessing Google meant (even though it got it wrong) was that it thought the site contained infringing or unauthorized copyrighted content — though, if that’s the case, that’s what it should have said.

And, once again highlighting Google’s communication problem, the rejection came from an email address called “noreply,” making it difficult for the author to get clarification. He did eventually get Google to “resolve” the issue, but Google’s overall policy on the matter is not explained at all. Does Google have an official policy where its AdSense team tries to determine if content on a website is infringing? If so, do they have an official dispute process? Does the AdSense team take into account fair use? Google has, generally speaking, been very good on issues of copyright and fair use, but this particular policy seems rather strange.

In a troubled economy where rising unemployment is forcing throngs of jobseekers to return to school, community colleges offer a beacon of hope as a low-cost educational alternative.

Yet, a cloud of uncertainty hangs over the state’s 39 community colleges, which could lose half their state funding this year, or roughly $148 million, despite seeing a 10 percent to 12 percent spike in student enrollment.

Colleges received the first of four quarterly disbursements from the state, due in August, just last week.

State officials confirmed the second funding installment originally scheduled for November could be delayed until May, which means the last two payments for the year would be pushed back until the 2010-2011 school year.

Colleges with healthy reserves will likely dip into their savings to make up for the shortfall, and institutions without that cushion are forced to make cuts.

“This is not a good time to be putting somebody out of work,” Palatine-based Harper College President Kenneth Ender said. “We’re going to look at some other remedies.”

Harper College would lose $3.5 million from the state. The school’s reserves stand at a little more than $50 million.

“From a cash-flow perspective, if the college needed to finance that $3.5 million (shortfall), we certainly have a sufficient fund balance to do that. That would be the last resort,” Ender said.

The school is anticipating 5 percent growth in student enrollment this year but budgeted for only 3 percent growth. “If we end up with 5 percent, we are about $600,000 more on the revenue side (from tuition),” Ender said.

Not filling personnel vacancies unrelated to faculty would be another way to cut costs, he said.

Depleting reserves, though not the most desirable option, will bail out many colleges, but without more revenue coming in, the hole will only get larger, warned Ellen Andres, chief financial officer for the Illinois Community College Board, the agency that administers the state funds.

“Some of them are digging in to the point where it’s going to get really close to making payroll,” Andres said. “No matter what your size or what your wealth is, everybody is being hurt. Quite frankly, some colleges can’t do it with only 50 percent (of state) revenues.”

Further complicating matters, the state has other commitments such as repaying the more than $2 billion it borrowed for its own operations, which is due starting in March, Andres said.

“That’s the worry – that cash flow might be off,” Andres said. And state revenues are continuing to fall, she said.

Andres said that while the money would eventually come, it’s not like colleges will receive six payments next school year to make up for the loss this year.

The chief financial officers of all community colleges are meeting today with Andres to discuss the funding delays. The meeting will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Heartland Community College in Normal.

This isn’t the first time the state has delayed payments to community colleges. Last academic year’s fourth-quarter disbursement was made this August.

Public universities are in the same boat.

According to the Illinois State comptroller’s Web site, the majority of payments out of the state’s general fund will continue to be delayed more than 105 business days due to insufficient revenues. That number is expected to increase over the next several months.

State funding for community colleges, which by state law should be one-third of colleges’ revenues, has long been dwindling. The funding level has dropped to about 8 percent on average. Colleges depend mostly on local property tax revenue and tuition to keep operating.

College of DuPage President Robert Breuder said he’s lost faith in the state after seeing a continuing decline in its support for community colleges in funding for both operations and maintenance.

“I think what a good institution is doing is weaning itself off the state budget,” said Breuder. “We’re becoming quasi-private. We have to run colleges and universities like businesses. We can’t continue to be dependent on state and federal funding. There’s no other choice.”

Breuder said to make up for this year’s more than $5 million shortfall, the college will freeze hiring, curb unnecessary spending, encourage retirements, and cut courses such as massage therapy and medical transcription, which were already on the chopping block due to low enrollment.

The college doesn’t want to dip into its reserves of roughly $50 million because officials are trying to grow the balance to 50 percent of operating expenses, which are $155 million this year. That is the ideal target, he said.

Colleges likely will use more part-time teachers rather than hire full-time faculty to cut costs, he said.

Grayslake-based College of Lake County is bracing for cuts to supplies and travel, said Nancy McNerney, interim vice president of administrative affairs. The potential loss would not affect student programs funded mostly through local property tax revenue, she said.

Elgin Community College expects to cover the shortfall with its own reserves.

“It’s a small piece of our revenue,” said ECC’s vice president of business and finance, Sharon Konny. “The college also is in a strong financial position.”

Oakton will curb hiring and travel despite having a healthy reserve balance, said Carl Costanza, Oakton vice president for business and finance.

“We don’t really want to take reserve money to do operating,” Costanza said, adding though that the reserves likely will be used to cover at least part of the shortfall.

State revenues make up 7.1 percent of the college’s $65 million operating budget this year.

“It will have a major impact on the college not to get that funding,” he said. “We are very concerned and we’re hoping that state can come through for us.”

The French and the Japanese have gotten together to form a magic partnership once already with Carlos Ghosn at the helm. The question is, then, can that success be replicated? PSA Peugeot–Citroën seems to hope so, and it is reportedly on the verge of purchasing a controlling stake (somewhere between 30 and 53 percent, depending on the report) in Mitsubishi Motors.

The total price for the acquisition would cost the European automaker over $3 billion and the deal would also include Mitsubishi acquiring a somewhat smaller stake in PSA Peugeot-Citroën – again, similar to the situation between France’s Renault and Japan’s Nissan.

So, what does Mitsubishi have that Peugeot wants? Three things, apparently: A presence in the States, SUV expertise and, perhaps most importantly, electric vehicle technology. If a deal does indeed take place, the resulting entity would be the sixth largest automaker by sales in the world.

One caveat to today’s jobs report — which overall was excellent — is the fact that Americans continue to leave the work force, and that these people aren’t included in headline rate.

Said the BLS:

About 2.3 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force in
November, an increase of 376,000 from a year earlier. (The data are not sea-
sonally adjusted.) These individuals were not in the labor force, wanted and
were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12
months. They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched
for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey.

As you can see, that number remains at a record high, and eventually they’ll be coming back.

Waterbury, Connecticut | Ghost Towns

In the early 1950s John Baptist Greco, a staunch Roman Catholic, had a vision of a roadside theme park devoted to God. By the end of the decade, he had created exactly that: a theme park built to replicate a miniature Bethlehem. By the 1960s, the park was visited by some 50,000 people a year. One could come and see a recreation of the Garden of Eden, biblical-themed dioramas and various tributes to the life and work of Jesus Christ.

The park was perhaps best known for its Hollywood-style sign reading “Holy Land USA” and its 56-foot steel cross that can be seen for miles, especially when lit up at night. It is said that there is a town joke that citizens grow up thinking Jesus was electrocuted on the cross. In 1984, the park was closed for renovation. Greco had hopes of expanding the site to attract more visitors; however, this was never achieved as he died in 1986.

Responsibility for the park passed to a group of nuns. For a while, they tried to keep the park clean and neat looking but never opened to the public. Regardless of their efforts, the park became seedy and vandalised since Greco’s death. To this day, the nuns still own the property, however, it is the local teenagers and foragers who have made their mark. Statues have been beheaded, dioramas destroyed, and tunnels blocked. Occasionally tourists still stop to look, and even explore, but they make sure they are gone before dark.

We’re always up for a good cause, and that’s exactly what this Ford Super Duty Fire Truck represents. According to Ford, it will make an initial $10,000 contribution to the Los Angeles County Firefighters Widows and Orphans Fund, plus $10 for each person that visits its stand at the LA Auto Show and another $20 for every person that takes a test drive in a new Ford vehicle throughout the duration of the show – up to a maximum of another $6,000 per day.

Naturally, Ford is looking for a little exposure along the way, and we don’t really have any problem with that. After all, it’s certainly not uncommon to see Super Duty chassis cabs upfitted as fire department vehicles, and that’s exactly what Ford has on display right now in LA. Included in the makeover are a 300-gallon water tank, eight-gallon foam cell, two pumps, an electric rewind reel with 150 feet of hose, three-stage winch with 8,000-pound capacity and 100 feet of wire rope.

Naturally, the top-spec 6.7-liter turbocharged diesel Power Stroke V8 engine is present and accounted for, along with a heavy-duty TorqShift six-speed automatic transmission that features available Live Drive Power Take Off (PTO), which allows the truck’s engine to power axillary equipment whether the truck is stationary or in motion. See more in the press release after the break and check out our photo gallery below.

While telco lobbyists (or paid “think tank” commenters) have a long history of pushing the totally bogus concept of an “exaflood” of traffic that will take down the internet, more recently they’ve been pushing this idea of “bandwidth hogs.” That is, they say that even if there isn’t really a big threat to backbone bandwidth (which they had claimed originally) there is still a problem with “bandwidth hogs” at the last mile, using up way too much bandwidth. And, for that reason, they insist that ISPs should be able to cap and meter broadband, to make sure that the “low level users” aren’t subsidizing the “bandwidth hogs.” There are two big problems with this claim. First… in none of the experiments with metered billing have the “low level users” received a discount. Instead, they’ve kept paying the same amount, and it’s just that the ISPs have tried to jack up the rates on higher bandwidth users.

But, an even bigger problem may be that the very idea of “bandwidth hogs” may be a myth (found via Slashdot). Benoit Felten is smashing that myth, in noting that there are certainly some folks who use more bandwidth than others, but contrary to claims from ISPs, he hasn’t seen any evidence that they’re causing any harm or congestion on the network. So he’s presented a challenge to telcos to send over data that he can analyze to prove him wrong.

We recently completed a branding assignment from Directed Electronics located in Vista, California. Directed Electronics is the largest designer and marketer in North America of consumer-branded vehicle security and remote start systems (sold under Viper®, Clifford®, Python®, Autostart® and other brand names). Directed Electronics commissioned Nexus to design a logo for a new service division, the Professional Installation Network. This proposed nationwide network of over 7000 certified professionals will specialize in installing mobile electronic products after equipment purchase. The logo depicts graphically the collaboration between Directed and the certified network of hand-picked service providers to insure a professional and hassle-free experience for its customers. The mark will be applied to packaging, point-of-purchase, on-site display as well as service employee badges . Directed Electronic’s Allen Phillips, Director, Art & Creative, states, “I’ve collaborated with Nexus on new creative several times. When I need fresh, out-of-the-box approaches for new brand development, I don’t hesitate to call them. Numerous, fast, and thorough concepts support my tight deadlines and the execution of the final artwork is flawless.”

This is… different. To summarize, a new commercial by Chrysler is agitating for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar’s (a.k.a. Burma’s) pro-democracy leader and lightning rod who has been under one form of house arrest or another for twenty years. The thirty-second spot was originally created to be part of sister-brand Lancia’s sponsorship of the 10th World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates. Says Oliver Francis, the new President and CEO of Chrysler and Managing Director of Lancia:

“We produced the TV film in honor of all those who put their lives at stake in the hopes of making the world a better place. In particular, those men and women who are still prisoners, like Aung San Suu Kyi. For Chrysler, this is a chance to use our brand image to join with others in the fight for peace and to knock down the walls that divide us. We at Chrysler believe in doing the right thing and making a difference.”

The spot opens with a Chrysler 300 driving next to the some still-standing sections of the Berlin Wall. It then passes by a mural of Nobel Peace Prize winner Nelson Mandela. We then see three Nobel Laureates getting out of the back of 300s: Muhammed Yunus, founder of the micro-lending Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, Polish union leader and president Lech Walesa and former leader of the USSR Mikhail Gorbachev.

As to whether or not a car company should be advocating in favor of peace and democracy, all we’ll say is we’re glad Chrysler is not fighting against ’em. Be sure to check out the video and press release after the jump.

Just about every time the monthly jobs numbers comes out, economic research firm TrimTabs comes out and slams the government’s methodology, usually honing in on the Birth/Death model of new businesses entering the market.

This week is no exception.

Frankly, we’re not sure what to make of their arguments. We’ve been hearing about this Birth-Death issue for a long time, but unless you believe they’re changing their methodology from month to month, then that issue only goes so far.

We welcome your thoughts.

TrimTabs’ Estimates 255,000 Jobs Lost in November, While BLS Reports a Decline of Only 11,000

BLS Revises September and October Results Down a Whopping 45%

Something’s Not Right in Kansas!

 TrimTabs employment analysis, which uses real-time daily income tax deposits from all U.S. taxpayers to compute employment growth, estimated that the U.S. economy shed 255,000 jobs in November.  This past month’s results were an improvement of only 10.2% from the 284,000 jobs lost in October.

Meanwhile, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the U.S. economy lost an astonishingly better than expected 11,000 jobs in November.  In addition, the BLS revised their September and October results down a whopping 203,000 jobs, resulting in a 45% improvement over their preliminary results.

Something is not right in Kansas! Either the BLS results are wrong, our results are in error, or the truth lies somewhere in the middle

We believe the BLS is grossly underestimating current job losses due to their flawed survey methodology.  Those flaws include rigid seasonal adjustments, a mysterious birth/death adjustment, and the fact that only 40% to 60% of the BLS survey is complete by the time of the first release and subject to revision.  

Seasonal adjustments are particularly problematic around the holiday season due to the large number of temporary holiday-related jobs added to payrolls in October and November which then disappear in January.  In the past two months, the BLS seasonal adjustments subtracted 2.4 million jobs from the results.  In January, when the seasonal adjustments are the largest of the year, the BLS will add anywhere from 2.0 to 2.3 million jobs.  In our opinion, trying to glean monthly job losses numbering in the tens of thousands or even in the hundreds of thousands are lost in the enormous size of the seasonal adjustments.

In November, the BLS revised their September and October job losses down a surprising 44.5%, or 203,000 jobs. In the twelve months ending in October, the BLS revised their job loss estimates up or down by a staggering 679,000 jobs, or 13.0%. Until this past month, these revisions brought the BLS’ revised estimates to within a couple percent of TrimTabs’ original estimates. 

The large divergence between the two results begs the question of what is causing the difference.  While we don’t have an answer today, we will be poring over the data in an attempt to answer that question.

A comparison of TrimTabs’ employment results versus the BLS’ results from January 2008 through November 2009 is summarized below.

Source: TrimTabs Investment Research – www.trimtabs.com and Bureau of Labor Statistics – www.bls.com

Several other employment related data statistics support the conclusion that the labor market is not as robust as the BLS is reporting:

·        Automatic Data Processing reported on Wednesday that 169,000 jobs were lost in November.

·        The Institute of Supply Management (ISM) Non-Manufacturing Survey reported that the majority of companies surveyed were still shedding employees.

·        The ISM Manufacturing Survey reported weaker employment conditions in November.

·        Weekly unemployment claims were 457,000 in the week ended November 27, 2009.  While last week’s results were below the important psychological level 500,000, the weekly claims are still uncomfortably high and point to a contracting labor market.

·        The TrimTabs Online Jobs Index reported lower online job availability in the past three weeks.

·        The Monster Employment Index declined in November.

We will have the opportunity to truth our employment model estimates at the end of January 2010 when the BLS releases its annual benchmark revisions.  The BLS revisions are based on actual payroll data for March 2009.  The BLS revision is then divided by twelve to correct prior month’s data back to April 2008.  We also use the March 2009 revisions to adjust our model inputs and make any necessary corrections. 

For a complete analysis of the current employment situation and economic conditions, refer to TrimTabs Weekly Macro Analysis published this coming Tuesday, December 8, 2009.
