Another Solid OL Recruit... Paging Darrel Scott (and Katoa Update!)
Max Tuioti-Mariner, a Three or Four Star Lineman from Corona, CA committed to CU today. At about 6'3" and 300 pounds, this kid has a "mean streak" that people love to see in run blockers (Ahem, Darrel?). He picked CU over Oregon and Cal, among others. This gives CU a respectable two offensive linemen in the 2008 class. While not flashy (last year we had what, 8?), the number is one that builds depth and keeps runners happy. Max's signing puts CU's class rank currently around 22nd in the nation. The class is starting to fill up rapidly. CU is hoping to sign between 18 and 20 recruits, and this signing brings the total number of commitments to 15, including a Mr. Lynn Katoa. Oh yes, did you think we had forgotten about him?
Lynn Katoa is now being listed as a "soft verbal" by Scout and Rival. Frankly, I don't know how much stock to put into these rumors. They were started by Soonerscoop.com, not Katoa, via a quote that the youngster acknowledges but says does not take mean he is decommitting. A nice little article helps sum this up for us. A quote:
"I'm still solidly committed to Colorado," he said, acknowledging he had heard about the Web site's report. "There's been a lot of mixed-up communication, back and forth. . . . The commitment to Colorado is still there."
Basically, when people hound you and won't stop until they get the answer they want *cough* Sooner website *Cough*, why wouldn't you say there is still a chance? It is called "pity". Isn't that what the girl told Lloyd in a certain movie?
As we all know, it is still early in the process. So many of these kids are going to be harassed that we will almost certainly lose a few of them.... But who knows who we will gain? There have been rumors on certain Defensive Linemen.
Life as a Buff is pretty good for a 6 and 6 team!

Temecula Doctors launch new spa
A pair of local emergency medicine doctors is smoothing out a new cosmetic treatment spa in Temecula by also offering basic medical care.
Big Apple Physicians Health & Wellness Center opened Nov. 27 at 31685 Temecula Parkway following an investment of $600,000 to $700,000.
The venture offers wrinkle-smoothing Botox and Restylane treatments, skin resurfacing, acne treatment, cellulite reduction and other aesthetic treatments. The center also accepts patients suffering from minor injuries, viruses or other non-emergency ailments for a $100 fee. The center will not conduct surgical procedures.
“If you can’t get in to the see the doctor and you have the flu, or you have a scrape that needs minor suturing, you can come here,” said Gary L’Archeveque, sales and marketing manager. The center may also offer home doctor visits for simple medical and cosmetic treatments for fees ranging from $250 and up, he said. The price will factor in the physician’s travel time.
Ownership of Big Apple is shared equally between Gary’s wife Dee Maria L’Archeveque, and Jaroslaw Sasanka.
Dee Maria L’Archeveque is director of emergency medicine at Community Hospital of San Bernardino. Sasanka is an emergency room physician at Barstow Community Hospital. Both physicians plan to maintain their hospital jobs while operating the center.
The company leases space in a 3,800-square-foot facility.
Over the past year, the doctors gained certification from the Aesthetic Enhancement Institute on use of aesthetic lasers, Botox, Restylane, Juviderm and lipodissolves, injections that dissolve fat, Gary L’Archeveque said.
Dee Maria L’Archeveque became interested in cosmetic procedures about five years ago after meeting with a representative from a company that makes cosmetic lasers, Gary L’Archeveque said. Over time she gained experience working in aesthetic practices, he said.
The business currently employs six people, including the two physicians. It plans to hire an additional staff member next year, Gary L’Archeveque said. Big Apple Physicians Health & Wellness Center hopes to treat 100 to 200 patients a month, he said.
L’Archeveque received her medical degree from the University of California, Los Angeles.
Gary and Dee Maria L’Archeveque moved to Temecula about a month ago from La Crescenta. They had boarded thoroughbred race horses in Temecula before moving to the area.

Fishing Anyone: Corona Lake Yields Trout!
At least two dozen rainbow trout over 10 pounds were caught this past week at Corona Lake in the best trophy trout bite of the season so far. The biggest rainbow reported in the big fish bite was a 17-pound rainbow landed by Ralph Ortiz, Fontana, fishing chartreuse Nitro Bait from a boat. The best action has been for boat anglers fishing near the dam, but a lot of quality fish are also being landed by shore anglers. The lake's water level has come up, and the best action has been on Nitro Baits in rainbow or chartreuse or inflated nightcrawlers doused with Nitro Grease or Gravy. Information: 951-277-4489 or www.fishinglakes.com.

So Much for Skyrocketing Rents
As long as there has been talk of the housing bubble popping, there has been talk of rents skyrocketing to meet the falling prices. This is all part of the “buy now or priced out forever” tack that infected any discussions with potential homebuyers from about 2003 to 2007.
I clearly debunked this myth (and drew criticism from Robert Coté, now RobDawg of exurbannation.blogspot.com fame) back in my “John Doe” days early on in the nether regions of 2006. To understand the point of difference between Rob and I, he argued that rents were more driven by costs to the landlord while I argued it was purely a housing stock supply/demand curve. Clearly, I believe I won that argument.
A recent article from PE.com expands on that notion and comes to the same conclusion that I did… I believe we have massively overbuilt for the prices being entertained. Only the raging California economy has bolstered the rents here (they have risen quite robustly in the past 10 years), and the weaking credit markets will put downward pressure on rents (or at least stagnating them). This is not just wishful thinking on my part as I’m a renter, it’s real out there, having been able to pay the same rent for the past 3 years. The fact that this article is set in the Inland Empire, doesn’t negate the validity of the argument, it only provides us insight into the future of more central areas.
There are so many Inland homes for sale, that even if no more come on the market, it will take more than two years to sell the houses available, according to the California Association of Realtors.
That’s just the beginning, for those considering renting out their homes, it also looks bad.
“People who can’t sell their homes have two choices,” said John Denver, owner of Perris-based John Denver Realty. “They can stop payments and let them go back to the bank or rent them out.”
Most will take a financial loss as landlords, he said, because the monthly mortgage payments are greater than the rent they can get. Bill Santoro, owner of 1st Rate Rentals, a rental management company with properties throughout most of Riverside County, said the monthly shortfall averages $500. Denver said he is seeing some landlords taking monthly losses of as much as $1,000.
“It is a good time to be a renter and a lousy time to become a landlord,” said Denver. He said in the past six months, the average time it takes to rent out a house in Perris has lengthened from two or three weeks to two months. Rents have fallen about 5 percent. He said the average monthly rent has slipped to $1,100 in Perris.
This imbalance is caused because not only has the housing market weakened, so has the job market. Most notably in Orange County, the center of the universe in the now almost entirely imploded subprime mortgage lending environment. The now defunct employers were formerly the who’s who of local businesses. Even Option One (the subprime arm of H&R Block) had hoped to seal the already pre-implosion deal sale to Cerberus which unraveled this week amid the decision to simply shut down and lay everyone off. And to imagine that the original deal was for more than $1Billion. What was once an asset is now a liability.
The same could be said about owning a property. It’s very likely that housing prices will slam back to 2002-2003 pricing levels before the end of 2008, much faster than I had previously believed possible. In fact, I would argue that the problems of the local housing market are so bad and visible, you can nearly taste it in every neighborhood. They all have a house or two or three or dozen that cannot sell at the prices offered. Watch for the special series on this type of house.
In other comments at that time, I stated:
However, just as importantly, the shortage of construction labor has increased construction costs about 25% in the past 5 years. Hardly huge, but I believe after you see an easing of building due to overbuilding in the US, we will have substantially cheaper construction costs due to cheaper inputs (materials and labor).
My last post stated as a quote from Fortune Magazine:
The cost of construction has gone down around 35%, from $85 to $54 per square foot. “Developers can now sell their houses for at least 20% less than a year ago and still make decent margins,” says Phillips.
That’s deflation defined. It would be good to read through a previous post about inflation.
Then it happens.
The bubble pops. It becomes self evident that the prices moves were irrational, and it painfully returns to it’s longer-term trend. Bubbles are not price inflation, they are driven by inflation. The only way that bubbles can form is by a single enabling forces: monetary inflation. Instead of the money chasing a fixed set of goods and inflating their prices, humans instead choose to purchase assets. That’s not inflation. It may look like it, but it’s only temporary, not systemic.
Before you begin to think that I am a current FED apologist, consider what I believe to be the root of financial bubbles… monetary inflation. That is controlled by the Federal Reserve.
With all of that ground covered… if we are experiencing inflation, why are labor costs coming down? If we are experiencing deflation, why are metals prices going up? The answer is simple. The world has too much productive capacity and too much money. One’s deflationary, the other’s inflationary. Like giant gods battling each other, noone can be sure of the eventual winner, but we can be sure of the losers, non-dieties. The common man in the US will have to eventually match the quality of life of the common man elsewhere in the world if we develop a global economy (arguably already here).
Are rents going up? In the long run. In the long run we are all dead.

Miramonte to Supply Z Gallerie Decorative Wine Bottle.
Miramonte Winery has agreed to supply home furnishings retailer Z Gallerie with wine for its first decorative wine bottle, in addition to providing 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon for Z Gallerie’s Skeleton Cellars decorative wine bottle,Miramonte will manage all of the online sales of the product, which can be purchased empty or full of fine wine at www.zgallerie.com and www.celebrationcellars.com. The empty 750 ml bottle sells for $32, while the version filled with Miramonte wine is available for $64.
“This is an exciting opportunity for us to further expand our line of custom art label wines,” said Cane Vanderhoof, who owns Miramonte and Celebrity Cellars custom bottling and etching business. “To meet growing demand for these specialized products, we are in the process of increasing our staff by about 40 percent.
”Earlier this year Miramonte agreed to provide etched bottles and wine to Celebrity Cellars, a California company that produces highly collectible, very limited edition, star tribute wine bottles for notables such as the Kiss, Rolling Stones, Madonna and Celine Dion.
Miramonte also created and manages wine clubs for the celebrities.
The Z Gallerie bottle comes with an artful canvas label illustrated with a chic silver skull. The 2005 Miramonte Cabernet Sauvignon features deep, concentrated blueberry, blackberry and cherry flavors, with nuances of lavender, fresh mocha and toasted oak.
It was aged two years in premium French oak.Founded in 1979, Los Angeles-based Z Gallerie employs more than 1,000 workers at 76 stores in 24 states. One of its newest stores recently opened at Dos Lagos south of Corona.
Miramonte this year moved the Celebration Cellars bottle-etching business out of its winery on Rancho California Road to a 5,700-square-foot industrial building in Temecula. It employs as many as 50 workers during peak periods.
Celebration Cellars has been a leading producer of etched and personalized wine and champagne bottles for individuals, corporations and celebrities for the past 15 years. In that time, the company has shipped thousands of bottles of wine to customers from Antarctica to Saudi Arabia.
Since acquiring Miramonte in 2001, Vanderhoof has help make it one of the most respected and heavily awarded wineries in Southern California. He works hard to produce wines of depth, character and sophistication in a style that focuses on intensity, individuality, regional distinction and elegance of expression.

The Shoppes at Chino Hills (Opening May 2008)
The Shoppes Retail Center will have approximately357,811 square feet of retail, restaurant, service andoffice building area on 26.18 acres.
The City of Chino Hills partnership with Opus Westhas brought to fruition our long-term goal to maximize the commercial potential of the old Community Park site on Grand Avenue and State Route 71.
The project captures the City Council’s vision of a lifestyle center that will become the center of the community, “main street Chino Hills.” This 360,000 s.f. open-air lifestyle retail center is part of a 50-acre development with a synergy all its own. It will include a combination of upscale retail, restaurants, and eateries, that are linked to a luxury multi-family community and the Government Center.
Site Plan
The Shoppes project has already attracted a strong tenant line-up. The list of signed leases for the Shoppes at Chino Hills is as of November 30, 2007.

TOP KEEPER JOINS LANCERS (Corona, CA)
California Baptist just made its defense that much better when Camryn Rogers signed to play for the Lancers in 2009. The best goalie in the Inland Empire was listed as the top player to watch in the Press Enterprise’s 10 players to watch.
“Cami has explosive leg strength that allows her to provide excellent goal coverage both laterally and vertically,” said first-year CBU head coach Jacob Medina. “Her experience at both the club and high school levels has shaped her into a defensive leader with great ability to vocally direct and anchor her defense.She will provide the women’s water polo team with excellent depth at the goalie position.”
The senior at Santiago High in Corona, Calif., was an All-CIF first team selection as a junior. She also earned all-county honors and is a two-time All-Mountain League selection. An All-America honorable mention in 2007, Rogers was the defensive MVP of the Mountain League and holds every Santiago High goalie record.

Parsons Brinckerhoff To Engineer Toll Road
The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) has awarded a contract to PB to provide engineering services for a major expansion of the SR-91 toll road in Riverside County, California. The project will study the addition of one general purpose lane and two toll lanes in each direction on SR-91 from SR-241 to Pierce Street through the City of Corona (approximately 12 miles). It includes widening of existing under crossings and water crossings, and realignment and reconstruction of existing exit and entrance ramps within the project limits.
The project also entails a direct connector to link I-15 to the toll lanes and potentially extend this connection five miles along I-15. The expansion, with an estimated construction cost of $1 billion, is a flagship project within the RCTC’s 10-year construction program. The segment of SR-91 is one of the most congested routes in Southern California. The current average daily traffic of 280,000 vehicles is expected to increase by 60 to 70 percent over the next 20 years. As the prime consultant on the project, PB is responsible for preparation of a California Department of Transportation project report, traffic engineering, preliminary engineering and all environmental documentation for the project.

Klann sees bright future for renewable fuel from ag waste
Arnold Klann, president and CEO of BlueFire Ethanol, says his California-based cellulosic business will use ag waste to make alternative transportation fuel as soon as the methods exist to harvest and store it.
The industry will benefit Midwest farmers, he said "Our types of plants would help them by giving them another profit...," he said during a phone interview.
Initially in 1992, Arkenol -- another company owned by Klann -- wanted to use ag waste as the primary feedstock for their cellulosic ethanol. They found certain ag residuals contained lignin, a "glue" that holds the sugar molecules together. By burning the lignin, they could efficiently unlock the sugar molecules to make ethanol.
However, ag waste wasn't considered "credit worthy" by investors because it wasn't harvested or stored for a cellulosic ethanol application.
This made investors -- who are generally hesitant to get involved with new technology as it is -- unwilling to support the project.
Because funding couldn't be found for an ag waste project, BlueFire switched its focus to converting urban waste for alternative transportation fuel. The company wants to build biorefineries on or near landfills, waste collection and waste separation sites to reduce transportation costs and use a reliable, available feedstock source.
Klann said the infrastructure to secure ag waste for cellulosic ethanol is almost in place.
"They're working on it," he said. He sees it becoming a reliable feedstock in the next couple years.
In the meantime, BlueFire is in the final development stages of its first production facility in Corona, with the help of a $40 million grant from the Department of Energy.
It is one of 16 companies, out of 143, that have been invited to put in a formal application for a $200 million DOE loan guarantee under the Energy Policy Act Title XVII program to build a 55 million gallon urban ethanol plant at an as of yet unannounced location.
"It's basically a high concentration acid that's used to dissolve the cellulose into components," such as sugars, lignin and residual minerals, said Klann. Sugar is used for ethanol while lignin is burned for power and steam generation. The acid is re-used so the plant's waste is reduced.
A plant in Japan that converts wood and ag waste to ethanol has paid licensing fees to use their patented process since 2002. Klann said seeing the technology in practice has helped BlueFire receive funding for their U.S. projects.
Eventually, BlueFire wants to build plants across the world.
While the United States has tremendous energy needs, Klann said everyone is dealing with the world's declining oil supply and some countries are challenged with the need to import 100 percent of their energy. Ethanol facilities could make a positive social and economic impact, he said.
"Our technology allows us to help those countries and help those people get the country stabilized and improve that country as a whole," said Klann.
Here in the United States, Klann said both ethanol from corn and cellulose will be needed to meet the country's alternative fuel goals.
"I don't see (corn and cellulosic ethanol) as competing, rather it's the next step in the process of meeting the administration's requirement," he said, referencing President Bush's call to replace 20 percent of the United State's energy needs with alternative fuels by 2017.
