The Local News

HB Ambassador/The Local News Columnist

HB's Famous
Golden Bear
Officially Honored
Y

ou could "feel the love" as a plaque


was recently unveiled marking the
site of the legendary Golden Bear
(306 Pacific Coast Highway) where performers like No Doubt, John Denver, Jimi
Hendrix, Judy Collins, The Byrds, Jan and
Dean, B.B. King, Jimmy Buffet, Steve Martin, The Doors, Robin Williams, Janis Joplin,
Jerry Garcia and The Smothers Brothers
thrilled spectators in an intimate setting.
"It was like you were in somebody's
house," recalled longtime surfer, Gary Sahagen. "So intimate You could get right up
next to the stage and feel you were part of
the act."
"Going to the Bear was like having a concert in your living room," said Dan McCoy,
a former Hollywood stuntman, who frequented the restaurant which became known
internationally as a star-studded rock n' roll
nightclub. "Even if you didn't have money
to enter, you could stand outside the side
door off Main Street and listen to the music
for free." Many heard the music from the
beach across the street.
The fun-filled place featured all types of
entertainers--from rock and folk to country
and comedy. It was a place where you
watched people like Van Halen and Cheech
and Chong open shows on their way up and
other groups, once famous, performing on

ing out new jokes for his Mork and Mindy'


TV show."
"You never knew who you'd see. Our performers were so sensational that even The
Rolling Stones, Cher, Peter Frampton and
Helen Reddy popped in to check them out.
I'll always remember how the entire building
shook when Steppenwolf played Born to
Be Wild.'"
The Golden Bear was creating lifelong
memories for thousands of guests, musicians
and singers. But, it too, would soon become
a memory. The building reportedly did not
meet Earthquake Codes and stood in the
way of redevelopment plans. Robin Trower
was the last act. The bear went into hibernation and closed its doors for the final time on
January 29, 1986. "While we were packing,
it began to rain inside the kitchen," said Carole. "Almost like the Bear was crying goodbye!" It would be torn down.
Bill Anderson, a world-renown artist,
was a leader on Huntington Beach's Allied
Arts Board, who tried to save it from the
wrecking ball. "It was a unique, art deco
architectural beauty with an amazing history that should have been saved," said Anderson, whose paintings of it were featured
at the plaque unveiling and a Golden Bear
reunion in the Waterfront Hilton several
years ago.

their way down.


"It was a happening,' just getting to experience the Bear," said Mary Landau, who
loved seeing Leon Russell and the Nitty
Gritty Dirt Band. "There was much excitement and a buzz in the air. It made you feel
so good, so open, so free."
"Getting to see so many different entertainers each week really spoiled you," said
Debbie Stock, who saw Spirit, Gary Busey,
Mary Kay Place and others there. "B.B.
King was one of my favorites and I was
working at the Huntington Beach Inn, when
he came in for coffee one night. He left me
a $100 tip!"
On another occasion, King's band was
staying at the Inn and one of its members
overslept and came rushing into the Coffee
Shop, looking for his group. They had already left for the Golden Bear. I was getting
off and volunteered to drive him and got him
there just in time."
"The audience, the acts and the employees
were like family," said Carole BabirackiKirby, a co-owner of the Golden Bear, with
her late husband Rick Baboracki and his
brother Chuck from 1974 to 1986. "When
we started out, we didn't know what we were
doing but the entertainers and our guests
loved us and the venue, which had been at
this same location since 1929. The world's
greatest artists would come here and often
work on their acts before heading out on
tour. One week, we had Robin Williams try-

"After its demise, visitors from around the


World often came to the
HB International Surfing
Museum asking questions and looking for mementos of The Golden Bear," said HB
Ambassador and former museum board
member, Chris MacDonald. "There was so
much interest in it that I thought there should
be at least a star in the sidewalk with its
name at the exact location of the building's
main entrance. Carole showed me where
that was and I approached the city and business owners."
Carole and others kept working to keep
the Bear memories alive. There have been
Golden Bear exhibits at the surfing museum
and the HB Art Museum. The city and the
HB Historic Resources Board created a
plaque for the building standing where it
once stood. "Nothing could ever replace
what happened at the Bear," said HB City
Councilman Joe Carchio, who along with
Mayor Matthew Harper, Carole and others,
wanted to make sure the memories would
remain alive. Working with the city, the resources board designed a plaque, which was
placed on a building pillar, south of Main
Street, off Pacific Coast Highway. Board
Chair Duane Wentworth, said the Bear was
more than just a legend but a temple to
music that was appreciated the world over.
Now, thanks to everyone involved, many
people can stop at this spot and appreciate
their memories of amazing times past. Even
visitors who never heard of the Bear, can
read about its significant, sensational past.
And, all will know where the Bear once
"roared."

d Arnold retired from a distinguished sixty-year broadcasting career


in 2014. He is best known for his forty-six years as a television news
and sports anchor for KABC, KTLA, and KOCE. He continues as the
volunteer on-air announcer for the Hour of
Power, a role he has filled since 1970.

his hometown of Texarkana, Arkansas and in 2004
was honored for his 50 years in broadcasting.
Arnold came to Orange County in 1958 as a
member of the United States Marine Corps and remained to play football at Santa Ana College.
Ed is extremely involved in his community and
serves on a number of boards. He just retired from
the March of Dimes after thirty-five years on the

rigors of combat and the daily threat of wartime violence


as their male counterparts, yet their transition from military to civilian life is often very different. A new report
by DAV (Disabled American Veterans) reveals that the
network of government and community groups that supports veterans is designed for and dominated by men and
has serious gaps in health care, employment and housing
services for women.
The report finds that women who served in Afghanistan
and Iraq, for example, have higher rates of PTSD symptoms than men. PTSD can be different for women, who
are more likely to be depressed. Women are much more
likely to identify interpersonal issues-marriage and parenthood-as a major source of stress when they return
home. Women veterans are at least twice as likely to become homeless as non-veteran women and they have
higher rates of unemployment compared to male veterans. Yet women veterans don't have access to the same

Office (714) 914-9797

www.SurfersVillage.com

kind of support networks as men do and many Department of Veterans Affairs health centers lack specialists in
the physical and mental health needs of women.
"Women veterans deserve equal respect, consideration
and care as the men who served," says DAV's deputy national legislative director Joy J. Ilem, a
veteran herself. "Yet the support systems
are ill-equipped to meet the unique needs
of the brave women who have defended
our country."
Consider the case of Crystal Dunkin, a
munitions specialist in the United States
Air Force. She oversaw the entire process
of building and disassembling bombs,
making sure nobody made a deadly mistake. "It was explosives and it was the real
deal," she recalls.
She was good at her military job but
struggled when she left the Air Force and
transitioned back into civilian life. "I didn't
know a thing about being a civilian. It was
really hard for me to find and keep jobs."
She battled depression and alcoholism
and became homeless.
Then there's Alexis Courneen, who
served aboard a Coast Guard cutter. She
was struck by a several-ton buoy that was
being lifted by a crane onto the ship,
crushing the nerves in her right arm, fracturing her hip and slamming her head
against the deck. She struggled with persistent eye problems, ringing in her ears, migraines, and trouble with balance. For two years, her doctors could not diagnose her
condition correctly; one doctor even suggested that hormonal changes caused her symptoms.
The DAV report is clear: Too many women, like
Dunkin and Courneen, face a long road to a productive
civilian life. Fortunately, both women made it. Dunkin
is working in a program that helps veterans and
Courneen, diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and
matched with a service dog, is happily married and
raising two children.
Hundreds of thousands of servicewomen will return
home in the next five years. It's both the nation's duty and
to the advantage of all Americans to make sure they have
access to the care and support they need to make the journey home as smooth as possible.

Brains Are Not


Falling Apart!

lder people do not


decline mentally
with age, it just
takes them longer to recall
facts because they have
more information in their
brains, scientists believe.
Much like a computer
struggles as the hard drive
gets full up, so to do humans take longer to access
information, it has been
suggested. Researchers
say this slowing down is
not the same as cognitive
decline. "The human brain
works slower in old age,"
said Dr. Michael Ramscar,
"but only because we have

stored more information


over time . The brains of
older people do not get
weak. On the contrary,
they simply know more."
Also, older people often
go to another room to get
something and when they
get there, they stand there
wondering what they
came for. It is NOT a
memory problem, it is nature's way of making
older people do more exercise.
SO THERE!! We Are
All Brilliant!

HB Named
Bike Friendly City

The Local News, December 15, 2014 hbnews1@aol.com 714.914.9797

he League of American Bicyclists recognized the City of Huntington Beach


with a Bronze-level Bicycle Friendly Community (BFBSM) award, joining
more than 325 communities from across the country.
With the announcement of 55 new and renewing BFBs, Huntington Beach retains
its status among a leading group of communities, in all 50 states, that are transforming our neighborhoods. This is the second
time the City has been recognized at the Bronze-level with the first being in 2010,
when the City first applied.
Visionary community leaders are recognizing the real-time and long-term impact
that a culture of bicycling can create, said Andy Clarke, president of the League of
American Bicyclists. We applaud this new round of communities for investing in a
more sustainable future for the country
and a healthier future
for their residents and
beyond.
The BFB program
is revolutionizing the
way
communities
evaluate their quality
of life, sustainability
and
transportation
networks, while allowing
them
to
benchmark
their
progress toward improving their bicyclefriendliness.
With this impressive round, there are now 326 BFBs in all 50 states. The Bronzelevel BFB award recognizes the Citys commitment to improving conditions for bicycling through investment in bicycling promotion, education programs,
infrastructure and pro-bicycling policies.

My Top Six Pick for


Baseball Legends

everal
websites
By Jordan Kobritz
have recently come up
with a list of the twenty-five most important people in baseball history. Ive decided to compile
my own list but in the interest of space, Im limiting myself to the top six.
The exercise is purely subjective, strongly influenced by
ones view of baseball history. Most of the lists are
heavily weighted in
favor of star players
based on their accomplishments on
the field. My primary consideration
is an individuals lasting impact on the game, whether they
played the sport or not; hence,
the absence of such greats as Ty
Cobb, Ted Williams, and Hank
Aaron. There are no guidelines
and no analytical formulas to
rely on, just opinions. Here are
my selections, in no particular
order.
BABE RUTH. There is no
way to overstate Ruths importance to baseball.
When the Red Sox sold him to the Yankees in

have saved baseball from becoming irrelevant.


MARVIN MILLER. Miller could easily be
number one on this list. He was the first executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, serving from 1966 to 1982. He
led the union through five work stoppages three
strikes and two lockouts - that resulted in lasting
changes, most notably free agency, in the relationship between owners and players. No one has
had a greater impact on the sport.
BAN JOHNSON. Johnson was one of baseballs early 20th century pioneers. He singlehandedly transformed the Western League, a
Minor League, into the American League in 1901
after many others had tried and failed to compete
with the established National League. He was
also responsible for creating the World Series.
With apologies to Curt Flood, Bud Selig, whoever, among a half dozen candidates, invented the
game, and countless others who would have
made an expanded list.

1919, the year of the infamous Black Sox scandal, the game was sorely in need of a savior and
fortunately, Ruth obliged. He was bigger than
life in the largest media market in the world. His
exploits on and off the diamond are legendary
and its no exaggeration to say he remains baseballs biggest star.
BRANCH RICKEY. Rickey is best known
for signing Jackie Robinson in 1945, a
move that effectively integrated
baseball. But Rickeys lasting
impact on the game is greater
than Robinson. His legacy includes the creation of baseballs first farm system, an
emphasis on scouting and
player development and
spurring MLB expansion in
1959 by working to create the Continental League.
JACKIE ROBINSON. Robinson
carried out Rickeys vision and paved
the way for the hundreds of other
Negro Leagues players that followed.
KENNESAW MOUNTAIN LANDIS. After the Black Sox scandal, Landis was given unlimited authority as
the first commissioner in baseball history. He immediately banned eight
White Sox players for life and virtually eliminated gambling
from the sport. That move may

TC

(The Crunch Network) through


Darrell Etherington (@drizzled) report..."Apple has launched its annual Best
of iTunes year-end lists, which include Elevate, a brain training app for iPhones and
iPads, as well as Threes, the addictive puzzle game. On the media side, Taylor Swifts
1989 takes Best Album, which isnt surprising given it was a massive success, as well
as the focal point for a debate about the merits of the streaming model of distribution.
Other winners on the music side include Beyonc for best artist, and Iggy Azelea ft.
recent TechCrunch guest Charli XCX for
Best Song.

APPS
Other notable
winners in the
Apps category
include Monument Vall e y ,
Storehouse,
1Password,
S w i f t K e y,
BuzzFeed,
Waterlogue,
F a c e b o o k s
Uber
Paper,
and more. Runners up for the
top two honors included Hyperlapse
from Instagram on the
app side, and Leos Fortune among games. The
lists selections are noteworthy because they
dont reflect only download numbers, and
because Apple seems to betray preferences
for certain types of experiences and for
newsmakers in its selection process: there
are multiple brain-training apps in the list,
for instance, and Rovios Retry Flappy Birdstyle departure from its Angry Birds IP. A
fair number of news media apps, including

the aforementioned Paper and BuzzFeed,


plus NYT Now also made the cut.

MUSIC, MOVIES AND TV


There were fewer surprises here Id say,
with Taylor Swift locking down not only top
album but also top pop honors, and Jack
White, The War on Drugs, Logic, Sam Smith
and a number of others getting
prizes for their respective genres, in or Smiths case for being
a breakout new star on the scene.
Guardians of the Galaxy, The
Lego Movie, Boyhood, and Obvious Child won the top awards in the
movie category, and
Obvious
while
Child is a bit of
a surprise to
garner one of the
four top honors, it
definitely deserves its
place. Others that got a
mention in the general
Best container include Birdman, Dawn
of the Planet of the
Apes, Edge of
To m o r r o w,
The Grand
Budapest
and
Hotel,
Snowpiercer to
name just a few.
TV tops include
Fargo, True Detective,
The Honorable Womankind and Key & Peele, while those who
earned laudatory mentions include Adventure
Time, The Americans, Arrow, Sherlock,
Broad City, Orphan Black and more.
Apple also lists the top sellers in movies,
music and TV for the year on the wrap-up
microsites it hosts in iTunes, if youre curious about seeing what wins by purely populist count."

Boeing Down 360


But Always Up As
Good Neighbor

ordan England-Nelson, Long Beach


Press-Telegram presented this story
recently. It's not the sort of Christmas
(Holiday) report that warms a community's soul. However, the incredibly
strong statement Boeing has made in our
community the past 40+ years is a tribute
to the American Dream -corporate commitment to their owners, stockholders,
employees and community are a matter
of record.
Jordan reports... "Boeing plans to lay
off 360 employees at three of its Southern California locations by Jan. 1, bringing total job losses for 2014 to more than
1,600. Ninety-eight jobs will be lost in El
Segundo, home to Boeings satellite di-

sure is affecting about 2,200 employees.


It is a shame than a half dozen or so of
these work horse planes could not be ordered a year to sustain the current workforce.
The story reports..."The last C-17 is
making its way through the factory and
teams of employees are being laid off as
they finish their work." ...further
reported..."Boeing announced in April
that it plans to relocate about 1,000 engineering jobs to facilities in Seal Beach
and Long Beach over a two-year period."
Boeing still employs about 19,000
workers in California.
Company spokesman said..."These
employee layoffs are being driven by the

vision, 137 in Long Beach and 125 in


Huntington Beach."
He goes on to report that January will
be colder than usual with another 53 jobs
in El Segundo, 95 in Long Beach and 29
in Huntington Beach will be cut.
Accordingly, by January 2015, Boeing's cuts will total 1,629 jobs in the region, 300 of which were based in the
South Bay with almost half of the layoffs
out of Long Beach. There, Boeing will
end production of its C-17 Globemaster
cargo plane by next fall. The factory clo-

difficult business and economic conditions that all companies have been experiencing, spokesman Stephen M. Davis
said. Employment reductions, where
they occur, are in response to specific requirements in specific segments of our
business.
Ed. Note...being the world leader in a
vast array of technical and industrial
areas is important to every small town in
America. We should maintain that leadership profile to insure our Country's
success

eCandescent - HB Style!

22

he invention of the incandescent light bulb more than 150 years ago has shaped how
we live today, but with very little in the way of technological advancements, until
now. One company hoping to change how the world views the incandescent is Intelligent Lighting Corp, which announced today the launch of the eCandescent, the
world's first energy-efficient, fully dimmable and toxic-free incandescent bulb that can last
more than 100 years. The eCandescent is now available for pre-order through Kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/611933709/532506860?token=9bf75da3
What makes the eCandescent unlike anything else in the marketplace is its "secret sauce"
a combination of an advanced filament technology, and its patented PowerDisc technology, together, which reduces the total energy consumption of the bulb up to 72 percent.
The PowerDisc, which easily adheres to the base of the bulb before it is inserted into the
socket, is a high-tech, solid-state rectifier that converts to 120 volts of alternating current
(AC) to approximately 85 volts of direct current (DC).
"Consumers have a lot of lighting options, but all are misleading, from containing toxic
chemicals to skewed lifespans," said Lisa Landau, CEO of Intelligent Lighting Corp. "The
eCandescent is literally 'transparent,' taking the household 'Edison' and modernizing it to
today's standards safe, chemical-free, energy-efficient, luminous, cost-effective, and extremely long lasting."
eCandescent bulbs are now available for pre-order through Kickstarter, and include the
following key features:
Combining the Best of Old and New Technologies The eCandescent is the reinvention of the "Edison" incandescent, offering the same warm glow, with
advanced technology, reducing energy
consumption up to 72 percent.
Toxic-Free Unlike CFLs (compact
fluorescent lights), the eCandescent does
not contain mercury, phosphor, harmful
levels of EMFs, or ultraviolet radiation.
Long-Lasting Using the standard
three-hour benchmark as used by CFLs
and LEDs, while they claim between 3-5
(CFL) and 10-20 (LED) years of life, the
eCandescent can last more than 100 years.
Long-Lasting The marketing tactics
of CFL and LED manufacturers claim between 3-5 (CFL) and 10-20 (LED) years of
life IF those bulbs are ONLY used three hours per day. Using that same three-hour guideline, the eCandescent can last more than 100 years.
Highest Quality Light Available With a CRI of 100, the eCandescent reveals true
colors faithfully when compared to a natural light source.
Reduced Heat Output Unlike CFLs and LEDs, which produce excessive heat, the
eCandescent can be used in all recessed, canned lighting and enclosed fixtures.
The eCandescent light bulb system is currently available for pre-order through Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/611933709/532506860?token=9bf75da3.

Golden West College


Actor Scholarships
C

ongratulations to Golden West College actors Mahmoud Elsharkawy (Romeo) and


Danielle Caas (Juliet) for being named nominees for the Kennedy Center/Irene Ryan
Acting Scholarships for their performances in the recent Golden West College Theater
Arts department production of Romeo & Juliet.
These two actors are now eligible to attend the regional festival at Dixie State University
in St. George, Utah in February 2015 to compete for an Irene Ryan scholarship. They can
also proudly place
the words Irene
Ryan Award on
their acting resumes next to this
production.
Since 1972, the
Irene Ryan Foundation of Encino,
has
California,
awarded scholarships to the outstanding student
performers at each
regional festival.
These scholarships
are made possible
by the generosity
of the late Irene
Ryan who is best
remembered for
her portrayal of
the lovable and feisty Granny Clampett in The Beverly Hillbillies. All student actors in
both Participating and Associate productions are eligible for consideration for these $500
regional scholarships.
The goals of the Kennedy Center/American College Theater Festival are to encourage,
recognize, and celebrate the finest and most diverse work produced in university and college
theater programs; to provide opportunities for participants to develop their theater skills and
insight and achieve professionalism; to improve the quality of college and university theater
in America; and to encourage colleges and universities to give distinguished productions of
new plays, especially those written by students, the classics - revitalized or newly conceived,
and experimental works.
Upcoming productions for the Golden West College Theater Arts department include the
play, Yankee Tavern and the award winning musical Monty Pythons SPAMALOT. For
more information on the Golden West College Theater Arts program, go to www.gwctheater.com.

n Saturday, Oct. 25th, members of


the Center Stage & Placido
Domingo Chapters of The Guilds
of Segerstrom Center for the Arts celebrated Oktoberfest at the Phoenix Club in
Anaheim, CA. The Guggenbach Baum
Band played authentic German Polka Party
music and everyone enjoyed an Oktoberfest feast and beer. Chapter chairs Ilana
Richmond and Margaret Ann Vincent welcomed the guests and Guilds Co-Chair
Sandy Bass congratulated the two chapters
for joining together to celebrate Oktoberfest and raise funds for Segerstrom Center
for the Arts.
In the spirit of the evening, many guests
were clad in the colors of the German flag
black, red and gold which originated from
the Prussian Army uniforms during the
Napoleonic Wars. The black represents the
harsh road from servitude through the
bloody(red) fight with the French, to the
golden light of freedom. Some guests wore
traditional German garb. All in attendance
enjoyed the evening.

Yet another nonprofit vehicle that helps kids get active
is SustainUS, which focuses on sustainable development.
Its Agents of Change program sends youth delegations to
United Nations conferences on climate change, sustainable
development, womens issues and biological diversity
and its Lead Now Fellowship trains and supports young
people in becoming leaders in advancing sustainable development.
Last but not least, TakingItGlobal is an international network of young people working to tackle global environmental challenges. Its Digital Youth Engagement, Global
Education and Social Innovation programs focus on creating the next generation of environmental leaders around
the world.
Young people can also get involved in environmental
protection efforts right in their own backyards even without
the support of a non-profit. Examples include organizing a
local e-waste recycling drive, asking schools and businesses in the area to refrain from using noxious chemicals
for landscaping, and coordinating carpools to reduce traffic-related greenhouse gas emissions. Likewise, kids can
learn a lot by finding a local green group and volunteering
to help canvass for funds, clean-up a beach or waterway,
or lobby local officials to take sustainability into account.
Indeed, our common future may well depend on it.

lexander Niehenke began to appreciate wine ten


years ago. But for the first four years, it was simply a beverage he enjoyed with dinner from time to
time, especially when cooking at home.
And then he put his nose in a glass of Cabernet
Sauvignon from Justin, a winery based in Paso Robles, California. He was at a bachelor party, where few attendees were paying any attention to the wine inside their
glasses. But for Niehenke, the aromas were intoxicating.
Something clicked. So he promptly dove into the world
of wine.
For the next five years, Niehenke's passion for wine
grew steadily and predictably. As a resident of San Francisco, weekend trips to Napa Valley and Sonoma were
easy -- so he started driving north regularly. He began attending tastings, reading wine publications, and even collecting.

And then he discovered Delectable, a mobile wine app.


Since downloading the program last fall, Niehenke has
been moving towards oenophilia at lightning speed.

Delectable:
A Wine App That
Could Revolutionize
Drinking
"The app has taught me about new producers, new regions, and even new varieties," he explained. "I actually
just learned about orange wine -- and tried my first one - thanks to it."
An orange wine is made by treating white wine grapes
as if they're red -- in other words, soaking the skins and
seeds alongside the juice during fermentation. Orange
wines have become quite popular among some of the nation's hippest sommeliers, and thanks to Delectable,
Niehenke can see what those sommeliers are opening
each night.
Delectable traces its roots to 2011, when Alex
Fishman was working in Dubai for Palantir, the data
analytics firm best known for its work with the U.S.
intelligence community. Shortly before returning
home, Fishman and his girlfriend came upon a wine
they'd enjoyed on many occasions. Wanting to remember the bottle so they could purchase it in the
United States, they looked to the label for information -- but were overwhelmed.
Fishman recalled this experience a few months
later over breakfast with in New York with Aaron
Vanderbeek, a video-game designer. The two were
old friends, and Fishman was detailing his desire to
launch a mission-focused company -- ideally, one
that would "make the world a more delicious place."
In short order, they realized that there weren't any
good mobile apps for wine enthusiasts. So Fishman
and Vanderbeek began building Delectable. Today,
the app identifies all a wine's details from a photo
and allows users to review and purchase wines. It
also helps users discover industry professionals -- winemakers, sommeliers, and critics -- and see what they're

drinking.
It's no wonder why Delectable has been described as "the Instagram
of wine." Thanks in large
part to this feature, Delectable could revolutionize
As FishDavid White consumption.
man told me, "the wine
market is broken because
of a lack of information. That's why consumers buy
points. But the point system is flawed because people
have radically different tastes."
As consumers discover other enthusiasts on Delectable
with similar tastes, they'll discover new wines worth
drinking. After all, it doesn't make any sense to take the
advice of a critic who has slapped "98 points!" on a bottle
unless one shares that critic's preferences. Delectable
solves what Fishman calls "the matching problem" consumers face with wine critics.
Niehenke is certainly drinking better thanks to the app.
"When looking for new wines, I used to call my
knowledgeable friends. Now, I can just open up Delectable to see what they're drinking," he explained. "When
I realized I could follow pros, too, wow -- that was cool.
I love seeing what my favorite winemakers -- people like
Ross Cobb and Cathy Corison -- are drinking. Now, I follow people with similar palates to mine and un-follow
people with different tastes."
Fishman is convinced that his app will fulfill its mission. "If we do this right," he concluded, "the amount of
global happiness that's derived from wine will go up.
People will drink better and better wines, since our suggestions will be tailored to individual users."

is Fort Collins, Colorado.
The annual ranking of best and worst
drivers put out by the insurance company
ranks cities by average years between accidents, accident likelihood against the
national average, population, city
density and weather.
None are worse than Massachusetts, for two years running.
Worcester drivers have accidents every 4.3 years, are 134.8
percent more prone to smash up
their cars against the average
American and have the worst
weather in the country, Allstate
claims.
This is the second year in a
row that Worcester has been the
most dangerous place to drive in
the U.S.
They are the only motorists ranked
lower than Boston, a town whose drivers

are derisively called "Mass holes" for


their propensity to jump curbs, cut others
off, ignore traffic signs and signals, and
pavement markings.
Drivers in Washington, D.C. save Massachusetts from claiming the three worst
spots, but Springfield, in the western part
of the state, and Providence, Rhode Island, round out the bottom five.
New York drivers, notorious across the
country for their aggressive lane changes
and propensity to hit the gas as people try
to cross streets, ranked 45 spots lower
than Worcester, at 155th.
The Big Apple dropped 17 places from
last year, but drivers in "the city so nice
they named it twice" are only 28.8 percent more likely to be in accidents than
the national average.
Drivers in Fort Collins, Colorado, were
named the best in the nation.
They are in accidents only once every
14 years and are nearly 30 percent less

likely to be in pile ups than the national


average.
This means they are nearly 200 percent
less likely to be in accidents than their
awful-driving Worcester counterparts.
Brownsville, Texas, drivers were
named the second-best. Boise, Idaho,
came in third. Kansas City, Kansas, came
in fourth and Huntsville, Alabama,
rounded out the top five.
The biggest drop came to Newport
News, Virginia. The coastal town's ranking plummeted from number one last
year to only 48th this year.
But that still does not even come close
to approaching the incompetency on

Fannie and Freddie Get


Tougher on Short Sales

ust when the housing market was about to


enter the next phase of recovery, the politicians got involved. Now theyre making it
tougher for individuals with prior short sales to
qualify for a home loan. The new rules apply to
all loans backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac,
the agencies which determine the guidelines under
which banks make mortgage loans.

Until recently, individuals with a prior short sale


could qualify for a Fannie or Freddie backed mortgage only two years later. Provided they had
reestablished their credit profile and had 20%
down payment, both Fannie and Freddie would
back that loan after only 2 years under the old
guidelines. Obtaining Fannie or Freddie backing

0005 hours, an adult female was walking
home by herself in the area of Parkside and
