DESCRIPTION

At the 31st Annual Santa Barbara County Economic Summit yesterday, experts predicted uncertainty is one of the biggest hindrances to the economic recovery.A crowd of over 1,000 people learned about Santa Barbara County’s fiscal situation, how growth is likely to be slow, how uncertainty will make the recovery as slow as it is, and how any economic forecast is unreliable.

(Reuters) - A key witnessin the federal perjury trial ofRoger Clemens, his formertrainer, could testify onTuesday, a prosecutor said onThursday, setting the stage fora possible courtroom con-frontation between the base-ball legend and his ex-assis-tant.Testimony from the wit-

ness, Brian McNamee, is crit-ical to the government'scharges that Clemens lied toCongress about using anabol-ic steroids and human growthhormone."I don't think we will reach

Mr. McNamee until Tuesday,"U.S. Assistant AttorneySteven Durham told JudgeReggie Walton as part of a

discussion about scheduling.

Durham is expected to useMcNamee's testimony toshow that the trainer injectedClemens with anabolicsteroids in 1998, 2000 and2001 and with human growthhormone in 2001. Clemens'attorneys have calledMcNamee a liar.Testimony was given on

Thursday by former InternalRevenue Service agent JeffNovitsky, who had investigat-ed McNamee as part of aprobe into performance-enhancing drugs.The evidence he obtained

included needles, syringes,swabs, vials and other materi-als turned over by McNamee

to federal agents in January2008.In a potential blow on

Wednesday to the prosecu-tion's case, Clemens' formerNew York Yankees andHouston Astros teammateAndy Pettitte said he mighthave misunderstood Clemenswhen the ace pitcher told himin 1999 or 2000 he had usedhuman growth hormone torecover from an injury.The admission prompted

lawyers for Clemens to askthat Pettitte's testimony aboutthe critical conversation bestruck from the record, sincethe pitcher cannot be sure ofwhat he heard.If Pettitte's testimony is

removed, it increases the

importance of McNamee'stestimony to the prosecution.Clemens is being tried for a

second time on federalcharges of lying to the Houseof Representatives'Committee on Oversight andGovernment Reform in 2008about whether he used per-formance-enhancing drugs.The panel was investigatingdrug use in Major LeagueBaseball.His first trial ended in a

mistrial last year.Clemens, a seven-time

winner of the Cy Youngaward, baseball's highestannual honor for a pitcher, isamong the game's biggestnames linked to alleged druguse.

Facebook IPO toraise $10.6 billion(Reuters) Facebook Inc

aims to raise about $10.6 bil-lion in Silicon Valley's largestIPO, dwarfing the coming-outparties of tech companies likeGoogle Inc and granting theworld's largest social networka market value close toAmazon.com's.The eight-year-old social

network that began as MarkZuckerberg's Harvard dormroom project indicated an ini-tial public offering pricerange of between $28 and $35a share on Thursday, whichwould value the company at$77 billion to $96 billion.The valuation reflects the

company's growth and bullishexpectations about its money-making potential as a hub foreverything from advertisingto commerce."We certainly haven't ever

seen a tech IPO on thisgrandiose a scale," said Lise

Buyer, a principal with theIPO advisory firm Class VGroup.Buyer, who worked on

Google's 2004 IPO, said thequestion about a company"that's already this big andthat is raising this muchmoney is how many of theglory days of growth are inthe past versus how many areahead."Facebook stands to raise as

much as $12 billion at theupper end of its plannedrange. If an over-allotment or"greenshoe" option is trig-gered, the company couldsweep up a maximum of$13.6 billion, according to aThursday prospectus.Facebook is only getting

about half, or $5.6 billion, ofthe estimated $10.6 billionthat it would raise at the mid-point of its planned IPOrange. About $4.9 billon will

go to some existing share-holders.The offering's price range

can be adjusted depending onWall Street's response.Investors are expected to

flock to the highly anticipatedIPO, though there have beengrowing concerns about thesocial network's longer-termgrowth and Zuckerberg'smajority control."People are going to be

very comfortable with thisvaluation," said SamSchwerin of MillenniumTechnology Value Partners,which owns Facebook sharesworth roughly $200 million.The firm is not selling in theIPO."A price range of $28 to

$35 will be a relief to somepeople who are concernedthat they may try to take thehighest possible price becauseof high demand.

TECH NEWS IN BRIEF

New iPhone rival launched

KITTY IN THE CITY

Samsung Electronics unveiled a new top-of-the-rangeGalaxy smartphone in London on Thursday, updating the mostdirect rival to Apple's iPhone with a larger touch screen andmore powerful processor.The South Korean technology group, which overtook Finnish

company Nokia as the world's biggest cellphone maker earlierthis year, said the new Galaxy SIII model would go on sale insome markets in late May and around the world from June.Last week, Samsung reported a record $5.2 billion quarterly

profit, boosted by Galaxy smartphone range whose sales out-stripped the iPhone.Samsung sold around 45 million smartphones in the first

quarter and contributed most of its operating profit.The new Galaxy SIII model will have a 4.8 inch touch

screen, 8 megapixel camera and will use the latest version ofGoogle's Android software.Analysts said the expected massive marketing campaign and

features of the handset - billed as the official smartphone of theLondon 2012 Olympics - were likely enough to generate strongsales, but the launch left many of them unexcited.

Google Inc's Android mobile platform resulted in a net lossfor the company in every quarter of 2010, despite generatingroughly $97.7 million in revenue for the first quarter of thatyear, a U.S. judge said in court.The discussion on Thursday of the finances of what has

become the world's leading mobile operating software in justfour years came during a damages hearing in high stakes litiga-tion between Oracle and Google over smartphone technology.A jury is deliberating on Oracle's allegation that Google, the

top Internet search engine, violated its copyright to parts of theJava programming language. At the end of the day on Thursday,one juror sent out a note asking what would happen if they can'treach a unanimous verdict.In response, U.S. District Judge William Alsup sent the jury

home for the day and asked them to continue deliberating onFriday.Oracle sued Google in August 2010, saying Android

infringes on its intellectual property rights to the Java program-ming language. Google says it does not violate Oracle's patentsand that Oracle cannot copyright certain parts of Java, an "open-source," or publicly available, software language."Everyone is shocked and concerned, nothing like this ever

happens in this neighborhood, it's usually very quiet," he said."I heard sirens pulling up in my backyard, when I went to

investigate there was like 30 cop cars, five ambulances, a firetruck, a SWAT team, the whole nine yards - it was just blanket-ing the neighborhood," he added.

Dear Miss Kitty,I’ve met a man who had a

flawless intro. I was smittenfrom the start and I am picky.We share many qualities andwe are broken in the sameway. The dating was greatuntil I told him that I wouldlike to go out to dinner, notjust the two bars we hang outin. I asked about walks, hik-ing, movies, anything otherthan just the bars. My sug-gestions were yah-yah-yahuntil after several girl fits, wefinally had a wonderful din-ner date. The price I paid washigh and I don’t mean the bill.I want to get to know this manwithout alcohol and “thescene” getting in the way.BTW, we have been datingfor 3 months with no sex.This is different for me butbeing older and wiser I thinkthis is the best way. It feelsserious but it seems he isresistant to really getting toknow me and me him. Isn’t’this the way people get toknow each other, to see if itwill work by spending timejust one on one? How can hetell if we are the match I thinkwe are if he won’t spend timejust with me? Is he waitingfor something? BTW he hastold me he has a check list inhis head (I don’t know what itis).Thank you for listening,

Gypsy Muse,SANTA BARBARA

Dear Gypsy,

Weather sta-tions are indirect-ly very busy littlehubs of qualityg u i d a n c e .Umbrella day?Beach day?Flash flood dayotherwise knownas -really -high -boots day? It allhelps and guides us whenparty planning, dressing, ortraveling. Can we imagine aworld without any precipita-tion predictions? In the per-fect world there would be dat-ing forecasters. They wouldknow within a 95% accuracyrate just how likely our poten-tial “right” was or was not.They would detect storms onthe horizon and let us knowwhen sunny skies prevail.Alas, there is no such thing,except for the barometer thatlives in the middle of yourgut. It knows all.Most of us can look up and

see cantankerous grey cloudsgathering overhead and pre-dict a stormy day, but when acloudy future is sitting,already making life gloomyand dark, right across fromus, we can’t we see it?Do we not want to see it?

We sense but are not quitewilling although able to throwoff the wet blanket and get arain check for someone better.Really is it better the bad

weather we know, thanthe sunny sky that issomewhere else?Although Gypsy

Muse has enough fod-der to keep Miss K inrare form for severalcolumns, zeroing in onthe obvious thatplagues so many datersseems the most help-ful. Why do we insiston working with some-

thing that isn’t working?Why must we wear a whitesundress in a torrential down-pour? Do we really want ourknickers bared along with ourvery soul?Fundamentals belong to

the wise. Getting to knowsomeone takes time and thattime needs to be spent wherethere is enough quiet to hearwhat is being said and what isnot.The space to see what

delights, insults, interests, andamuses someone else. Totake the girl or boy puppy intodifferent situations and seehow it performs is a basic ofgood dog training and itmakes sense here as well.Alright, that last one wasn’tnice but truly necessary andwe all know it.If someone can’t fathom

the importance and excite-ment of trying out a few dif-ferent venues to chat away thesmall hours, let alone wants tospend time together, they arenot what anyone truly sane

needs. They may be whatyou think you need becauseof some ill-founded sense ofself, but the lack of willing-ness to do something so nor-mal, so benign, and generallythought of as “pretty basicand benign”, tells it like it is.

Darling Gypsy, Boys andGirls, agonizing over the pos-sible reasons why and ration-alizing the most obvious andblunt truth away only post-pones the inevitable. Does itmatter why someone doeswhat they do so early in thegame?Nope, can’t say it does..

We are not currently interest-ed in the “other” side of thisas there isn’t enough to both-er.Chances are there is no

logical reason why he doesn’tsee beyond the bars that cur-rently encase this relationshipbut since he is showing up ashis real self in the early days,take heed and be wise. Sinceyour heart is only bound bychains of “what if’ and notreal love, repeat after me,NEXT!

Melanie Doctors aka MissKitty can be emailed at [email protected] you want to chat in person18 West Calle Laureles iswhere she resides most daysat Purrmission Lingerie.

Leslie joins asecret society —and talks about itI joined a secret society a

couple of years ago. It’s takenme a while to write about itbecause, well, shush …it’s asecret society. Don’t tell any-one.Plus I’m a little bit embar-

rassed or maybe just ambiva-lent about the whole thing.This is hard for me to confess,but I think I’m one of thoseshiny, happy people yousometimes hear about.It all started when I ran

across a news story about agroup that was petitioninggovernors to establish a"National Admit You'reHappy Day.”At first I thoughtit was a joke. The groupcalled itself "The SecretSociety of Happy People.”My initial snicker quickly

snowballed into howls oflaughter as I imagined MinnieMouse and the munchkinsgathered at secret societymeetings. Did woodland crea-tures dress them up in theirSunday best? Did animatedbirds make them cupcakesand chirpily clean up whenthe meetings were over?Surely my co-workers

thought I was certifiable, as Iwas laughing too hard toexplain to them why I waslaughing.Still, my gut instinct told

me that these people were onto something. After all, I waslaughing at the mere mentionof their name, so that hadalready made me happier. Notonly that, my colleagues werelaughing at me laughing—without even knowing what Iwas laughing about. Thiswhole happiness thing wasinfectious.I considered signing up for

the society right then andthere, but felt sort of embar-rassed. Somewhere betweenMr. Smith going to

Washington and Mr. Stewartjoking daily aboutWashington, just talkingabout being happy becamekind of uncool. With theexceptions of wedding, funer-als, graduations and Hallmarkcommercials, it’s become hip-per to complain than to admitthat you’re happy.I have a twisted, ambiva-

lent reaction to most overlycheerful, seemingly happy,people. I just don’t trust them.As William Feather put it,“One of the indictments ofcivilizations is that happinessand intelligence are so rarelyfound in the same person.”It’s hard not to be cynical

about happiness. Just look atpop culture’s obsession withbrooding rock stars and drugaddicted model-actress-what-evers, or comedy, which is sooften laughter generated at theexpense of others. Thenthere’s the post-9/11, post-Wall Street implosion realitywe live in, where being happysometimes seems, well,downright inappropriate.But still, that ray of happi-

ness keeps poking through.Though I may mock the

people who speak with moreexclamation points than vow-els (one more example oflaughter generated at theexpense of others), for the

most part I am, I admit, gener-ally happy.I’m just one of the people

who see the glass as halffull—and fill it to the brimwhenever possible, providedthere’s any wine left.Maybe it was because the

notion of “The Secret Societyof Happy People” gave methe giggles, or maybe I justwanted to get a column out ofit, but starting on that fatefulday, I took the “HappyChallenge” to write downsomething that made mehappy each day.Surprisingly, it wasn’t that

hard. Sure, the words “choco-late,” “Margarita,” and “bed-time,” came up pretty fre-quently, but not as frequentlyas my husband’s and son’snames—which was kind of arelief. Also making the happylist was girls night out, livingnear the beach, free parking,great friends who don’t carehow late—or how often—Icall, nonfat lattes, editors thatpay $1 a word (not this one,unfortunately), having myparents and sister live nearby(and not just for the freebabysitting), book club,remembering to back up mycomputer, voicemail, hum-mingbirds, and whole host ofother things that add up to ageneral feeling of content-ment.Contentment. Not ecstasy,

or rapture, or bliss, but happi-ness, just the same. There'snothing wrong with proclaim-ing your own "NationalAdmit You're Happy Day."Let's do it today.+Are there any other secret-

ly happy people out there?Write [email protected] more columns visitwww.LeslieDinaberg.com.

Santa Barbara gets much of its income from sales tax and downtown shopping. The recovery has been very slow to pick up since 2008.DAILY SOUND / Victor Maccharoli

Uncertainty wrecks economyAt the 31st Annual Santa

Barbara County EconomicSummit yesterday, expertspredicted uncertainty is oneof the biggest hindrances tothe economic recovery.A crowd of over 1,000 peo-

ple learned about SantaBarbara County’s fiscal situa-tion, how growth is likely tobe slow, how uncertainty willmake the recovery as slow asit is, and how any economicforecast is unreliable.Peter Rupert, chair of the

UCSB economics departmentgave a rundown of the localeconomic forecast, though hecautioned the crowd that eco-nomic forecasts come in twovarieties.“Half are wrong and half

are not right,” Rupert said.

Though many citizens arefeeling the sting, Rupert saidSanta Barbara hadn’t been hitas hard by recession as otherparts of California.But unlike previous reces-

sions where the economy hasbounced back, the recoverythis time around has beenvery slow to pick up. Thehousing market has seen verylittle investment and non-housing has seen a 20 percentdecline.Nationally, investment has

been held up by the economicuncertainty. The banking sec-tor has seen an influx of $1.6trillion but the money is stay-ing put. The Federal Reserveitself has swelled up from$800 billion to $3 trillion andwhat policies it could make orwhat their effects would beare unclear.“And that’s my uncertain-

ty,” Rupert said.Though unemployment has

been improving in the county,the main areas of growth arein low-wage agriculture orservice sector jobs.Furthermore, unemploymentamong younger people meansthey develop less job skills astime moves on.But in the long run, Rupert

said it’s not all bad news. TheU.S. economy has averaged agrowth rate of about threepercent per year since 1947.While there’s been notableups and downs, and we’re ona down, he said nothing isgoing to break the decadestrend.“I have no reason to

believe we won’t be back onthis growth trend,” Rupertsaid.Keynote speaker Gillian

Tett, a journalist and manag-

ing editor for the FinancialTimes, said the financial sec-tor had been based on faithand compared it to a congre-gation listening to a sermon inLatin.“If you don’t have faith in

finance and economics, thenfinance isn’t going to work,”Tett said.Tett said finance revolves

around three “Cs”, credit,cohesion, and complexity(andnoted she’d only have timefor credit and cohesion). Interms of credit, banks hadstuck with distributing andbacking their own loans.But starting in the 1980s,

banks began the practice ofslicing up and selling offloans. Bringing the Latin ser-mon theme back, Tett saidwhen she interviewed bankersin 2005 most of them strug-

gled to explain what CDOsand default swaps were exact-ly.“It was an inversion of the

economic theory, ‘If youdon’t understand something,the investor shouldn’t buyit,’” Tett said.Prior to 2007, investors

had faith in the bankers, regu-lators, and credit rating agen-cies. But as the economybegan to meltdown 2007 thatblind faith began to crack.After the meltdown, gov-

ernment stepped in, providingcapital and liquidity to thefinancial sector. Tett said thisallowed government tobecome the new “faith.”“Essentially they provided

a promise to terrifiedinvestors which was this,‘Don’t worry if you don’t

understand how all thefinance works,’” Tett said.But with the various finan-

cial crises around the world,faith in that is beginning tocrumble. She said that callsup the issue of cohesion,which how society relates toeach other.Tett harkened back to an

interview she did with thehead of a large Japanese bankduring that country’s financialcrisis in the 1990s. He toldher he would cut everyone’ssalary by 20 percent and hisby 30. But he added that ifhe’d been in England, he’dcut the workforce by 20 per-cent, if he’d been in America,he’d cut the workforce by 40percent and pay himself 20percent more.While not a model of a suc-

cessful economy with a highnational debt, she pointed outJapan did not have bond cri-sis. She said that’s becauseJapan had a well-developedset of cultural mechanisms forsharing economic burdensacross society to ensure thatpeople still “buy” into the sys-tem.“If everyone has their hair

cut together, then it’s not sobad,” Tett said.America, by contrast, may

be facing more problems.America has had a view thatresources aren’t as limited.She said that led to a societythat always believed the pilecould get bigger and in theAmerican Dream of upwardmobility.So faced with the reality of

less resources, rhetoric is fly-ing“In many ways that faith is

now crumbling,” Tett said.

Feds crackdown on potshops in Santa Barbara(Reuters) A crackdown on

California's medical marijua-na supply chain by federalauthorities targeting thestate's illegal drug tradearrived this week in the afflu-ent, coastal county of SantaBarbara.The latest actions include

three asset forfeiture lawsuitsfiled against properties hous-ing marijuana operations andwarning letters sent to peopleassociated with 10 cannabisdispensaries deemed "illegalmarijuana stores," federalofficials said."All known marijuana

stores in Santa BarbaraCounty are now the subject offederal enforcement actions,"a statement from the U.S.Attorney's Office in LosAngeles said.The moves on Santa

Barbara storefronts and culti-vation facilities mark thefourth such sweep in recentmonths in the seven-county

California region that ranks asthe largest federal law-enforcement district in thenation, U.S. attorneyspokesman Thom Mrozeksaid. He said authorities havegone after 150 pot stores inthe district since October,when federal prosecutorsannounced a statewide crack-down on what they called amassive network of illegalcannabis suppliers establishedunder the guise of California'smedical marijuana law. Mostof those stores have beenclosed, Mrozek said.Similar crackdowns have

been launched in other statesas well, notably Colorado,Montana and Washington, inan escalation of frictionbetween the federal govern-ment and states that havedecriminalized marijuana formedical purposes.California was the first to

do so - in 1996 - and 15 otherstates and the District of

Columbia have enacted simi-lar statutes, though marijuanaremains classified as an ille-gal narcotic under federal law.Mrozek said federal

authorities also conductedraids on a dispensary, on anindoor pot farm and on thehomes of people identified asoperators of those two facili-ties."No one's been arrested,

nor do I anticipate anyonebeing arrested," Mrozek said,adding that the actions takenon Tuesday and Wednesdayamounted to non-criminalenforcement.One dispensary was hit

with an asset forfeiture noticefor operating as a not-for-profit business even though itlacks non-profit status for taxpurposes, officials said. Awarehouse run as an indoorcultivation center was singledout for using substandard andunpermitted electrical equip-ment.
