damage to national parks Judge denies LA school districts bid to block teachers strike Advertisement Business Trump claims credit for the strong labor market Experts say he also should thank Obama By Jim Puzzanghera Jun 26 2018 500 AM Washington President Trump speaks to the National Federation of Independent Business during their 75th anniversary celebration on June 19 in Washington DC Evan Vucci Associated Press President Trump stood before a crowd of smallbusiness owners at a hotel here last week and said that his administrations economic policy could be summed up in three very beautiful words jobs jobs jobs Then as he and other administration officials have frequently done he trumpeted a slew of recent outstanding labor market statistics the lowest unemployment rate since 1969 the best black and Latino unemployment rates since the government began tracking them in the early 1970s the fourweek average for jobless claims at a 44year low and 34 million jobs created since his election Nobody would have believed these numbers if I said them during the campaign Trump told a cheering crowd of members of the National Federation of Independent Business on Wednesday But when it comes to jobs Trump is like the wealthy heir who as the saying goes was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple Although his actions have helped strengthen the labor market the strong positive momentum already was deeply entrenched for years before his election experts say Unemployment rates for blacks Latinos and all Americans began a steady decline in late 2009 that has continued since Trump took office The same with the plunge in firsttime claims for unemployment benefits And the 34 million jobs created in the 18 months from December 2016 through May of this year isnt such an unbelievable number The US economy added 37 million net new jobs in the 18 months immediately before that Trump deserves credit for policies particularly big tax cuts that have boosted job growth this year compared to with 2016 that have kept the long recovery going said Harry Holzer a professor of public policy at Georgetown University But much of the credit for the strong labor market belongs to President Obama and other policymakers starting in 2009 he said A lot of what were seeing is a continuation of the trends in 2014 15 and 16 said Holzer who served as chief economist at the Labor Department during the Clinton administration Los Angeles Times It was Obama administration polices plus Federal Reserve policies that engineered a recovery from the depths of the Great Recession and that continues although I do believe Trumps fiscal policy has kept the recovery growing and strengthened it he said Trump and officials from his administration rarely acknowledge the major improvements in the labor market that took place before the 2016 election Kevin Hassett chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisors told reporters this month that the tax cuts that took effect on Jan 1 and significant reductions in federal regulation since Trump took office have helped lead to one of the more remarkable labor markets that weve ever seen He noted that the 38 unemployment rate in May marked just the seventh time it had been below 4 since 1970 The job market right now is about as strong as Ive ever seen Hassett said on June 5 A White House spokeswoman did not respond to a request for an interview with Hassett By many measures the labor market is booming said Jed Kolko chief economist at employment website Indeedcom But he said its too broad a statement to say its never been better Youve got to look at a range of measures he said Some of them today look incredibly strong by historical standards Others less so Economists said the labor market is not as strong as it was in the late 1990s or the late 1960s in great part because workers arent seeing significant boosts in their pay accompanying the low unemployment In his speech to the independent business federation Trump said that wages for working people are finally after 22 years rising again in our country It wasnt clear what statistics he was talking about Government data on wages and compensation have shown improvement since Trump took office But inflation also has been rising As a result the rate of growth in real earnings which factors in rising prices actually has slipped this year It was higher in 2015 and 2016 when inflation was minimal Kolko said Economists keep expecting wage growth to accelerate as the labor market gets tighter because employers should have to boost pay to keep workers and lure new ones And the market is about as tight as it can get Starting in April there have been more job openings in the US than unemployed workers to fill them Its the first time thats happened since the government began tracking job openings in 2000 One analyst used other data to determine that it probably hasnt taken place since 1970 Early in the recovery from the Great Recession there were more than six unemployed workers for every job opening That ratio has been narrowing ever since In April the latest figures available there was fewer than one unemployed worker for every opening The recession which ran from late 2007 to mid 2009 devastated the labor market By the time the job losses ended in 2010 the US had shed 87 million jobs Boosted by federal government stimulus spending the economy took four more years to regain all the lost jobs Labor market growth peaked in 2014 when the US added 3 million jobs for the first time since the end of the 1990s dotcom boom Job gains have slowed each full year since with last years 22 million the fewest since 2012 But the tax cut bill which was focused on slashing rates for businesses has boosted job growth Through May this year is on pace for job creation of just under 25 million That would be the best since 2015 Michael D Farren a research fellow at the Project for the Study of American Capitalism at George Mason Universitys Mercatus Center said its difficult to give too much credit for labor market changes to any one president or policymaker If Obama had stayed president would the trend have been the same My sense is a lot of the job growth and the decline in unemployment was baked into the system already Farren said The economy was doing quite well and has continued to do quite well he said To a certain extent you could make the argument that there has been a positive response to the business community in general to Trumps election and the tax cuts Business and consumer confidence jumped after Trumps election and has generally remained high as he and congressional Republicans cut regulations and reduced taxes Trumps touting of the unemployment rate is notable During the 2016 presidential campaign he disparaged the statistic which fell during much of 2016 as grossly understating the condition of the jobs market Our real unemployment rate because you have 90 million people that arent working 93 million to be exact if you start adding it up our real unemployment rate is 42 Trump told Time magazine in August 2016 when the Labor Department said the rate was 49 He was referring to a monthly statistic of workingage Americans who are not in the labor force It was 943 million in August 2016 Last month it was 959 million Most of those people are retired a figure that is growing as the baby boomer generation ages or dont work for reasons including being fulltime students and stayathome parents Economists scoffed at Trumps inflated unemployment rate estimates during the campaign Since his election Trump doesnt disparage the unemployment rate anymore Now its one of his favorite statistics JUST OUT 39 Unemployment 4 is Broken he tweeted on May 4 after the Labor Department released the jobs data for the previous month After the unemployment rate continued its long downward trend in May one that began after the rate hit 10 in late 2009 Trump frequently has touted it and other jobs statistics no matter the venue Our employment numbers are the best that theyve been perhaps ever but certainly in recorded history Trump said on June 18 before a White House

meet again on shutdown but remain far apart on his border wall demand Advertisement LA Now Local Vietnamese refugees who got a warm welcome from America puzzle at family separations harsh rhetoric By Anh Do Jul 01 2018 600 AM CAMP PENDLETON A young boy sits on a suitcase while his family is processed into the camp Los Angeles Times As a refugee Lynn Le landed at Camp Pendleton among thousands of mothers and fathers clutching their children desperately searching for a sign that at last they would be safe in America far from Communist persecution at the end of the Vietnam War Her father Phong Le held her close to his side A barracks door opened and a tan man walked toward them saying words they didnt understand But when the stranger extended both arms to tickle the 7yearold they both knew they were on friendly ground The year was 1975 and Le the youngest of three never forgot how the Marines quickly came to their aid with standardissue clothing with sleeves so long we thought we would never grow into them she recalled Boy we were freezing and grateful to have both the jacket and the camp enclosing us Whenever anyone mentions Pendleton I get these soft warm feelings said the 50yearold San Jose business consultant With the fall of South Vietnam Camp Pendleton became a refugee camp for thousands of Vietnamese families who made it to America The camp is considered one of the starting points of Vietnamese American life a place where successful communities across the nation got their start Refugees still look back with appreciation to the welcome mat the American government offered Tran Thi Nam 109 with her 5yrold great granddaughter Ha Hoang on June 12 1975 Los Angeles Times Now Camp Pendleton is one of several military installations that until recently were under review for a temporary detention center for migrants many flowing out of Mexico and Central America because of economic hardship and violence Lt Col Jamie Davis spokesman for the office of the secretary of Defense said Friday that Pendleton was considered but has not been chosen to house one of the detention facilities Instead officials designated two in Texas Ft Bliss and Goodfellow Air Force Base he said The immigration politics are much different now than in 1975 with President Trump pushing a hardline policy that included for a while separating refugee parents from their children And news that Camp Pendleton could have been used as part of an effort that separated refugee families troubled some Vietnamese immigrants who started their new lives at the San Diego County base They said their experience was of great generosity by the American government one that fought to keep families together and give them the building blocks for new lives This is where we had our first taste of what it meant to be warm and safe in our new home We have amazing memories of camp that we can keep in our hearts forever added Le whose family hailed from coastal Nha Trang before their exodus when she was in grade school All these decades weve looked at it as a symbol of freedom not fear added Huy Ba Dang 83 a retired aerospace draft technician from Westminster More than 100000 Vietnamese refugees fled to the US after the fall of Saigon in 1975 The tent city created at Camp Pendleton was the largest refugee city in the US with about 50000 mostly Vietnamese passing through Many eventually went on to work in the Little Saigon district in Orange County President Fords decision to welcome the refugees was not popular A Gallup poll in May 1975 showed that only 36 of Americans were in favor of Vietnamese immigration Many feared job losses and increased public welfare Even Gov Jerry Brown expressed concerns Ford argued accepting them into America was essential because the refugees had been war allies But those who went through the tent city said they were grateful Though the circumstance are in many ways different some said they feel a certain kinship with Central American refugees fleeing violence and other hardships Tony Lam a former camp leader at Pendleton and the first Vietnamese American elected to political office in the US in 1992 said he considers many migrants economic refugees searching for a more stable life For the Vietnamese some people left behind a wife or husband or everything they ever owned to seek freedom in America For some of the new populations coming in theyre also seeking a measure of freedom said the Westminster resident 82 owner of a sandwich shop In 1975 he had stayed at Pendleton with his buddy Dang who served as barracks leader Both worked among thousands of fellow refugees and I remember grown men crying when they saw how the military cared for us and nurtured us Lam said Dang and others said they associate Camp Pendleton with how America can be welcoming I truly thank the citizens who opened their arms and their generosity to us said Dang who traveled to America with about 40 members of his extended family I am not biased or partisan to any government but I would hope that the place this camp remains a respected symbol Viet Nguyen a professor of English and American studies and ethnicity at USC agreed He said that housing refugees separated from their families at Pendleton would feel like such a sharp shift to so many Vietnamese Americans because the tent cities were designed to preserve and even reunite families If Pendleton took in detainees in the future it would be a shock because so many view it as their entryway to American life he added Anh Do Anh Do covers Asian American issues and

name written over his heart opened the worn black composition book with a faded newspaper photograph of retired NBA player Metta World Peace taped to the cover Titus Young was once classified among the most dangerous inmates at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles and spent most of his days in lockdown In early 2017 he started to write I have made so many mistakes I have become a little ashamed of being Titus Young he scribbled in fastpaced printing A lot of the stuff I have done was out of my control during the time I was hearing voices Hearing voices is no joke its actually very scary I feel like someone is trying to come kill me The diary is 141 pages started Feb 2 and finished about two months later Young who hopes to turn it into a book asked a relative to share excerpts with the Los Angeles Times rather than agree to an interview Entries meander from one topic to another some written in textbook cursive others in printing thats barely decipherable Young then 27 wrote about wanting to be a better father to his young son About gnawing hunger cold and feeling homeless during four months in lockdown About mental illness And about football Always football God is great still being behind bars because this has given me a chance to share my side of my story which coming from the public has been so negative Young wrote His oncepromising career with the Detroit Lions disintegrated in a series of altercations and worrisome behavior He accumulated at least 25 criminal charges including 10 for assault or battery in Southern California since 2013 He bounced between mental health treatment facilities courtrooms and jail I want to be free Young wrote I believe God has a plan for me and deep down I believe its to dominate the NFL The collision lingers in EC Robinsons mind The former football coach at University High School in West LA witnessed plenty of big hits But during a 2006 game against San Pedro Robinson watched Young slam into an opposing tight end The player went one direction the ball went another Young threw himself at opponents this way lowering his head before impact and turning his body into a missile That was the worst Ive seen Robinson said Its one hit where I thought maybe something happened Perhaps thats when the trouble started Young didnt look like a football player when he arrived at University maybe 100 pounds and not taller than 5 feet Robinson laughed when Young predicted he would play The impulsive charismatic son of two pastors didnt lack confidence I was a very immature kid Young told a teammate in a video interview during his senior year No one could tell me anything I always thought I was right Finally I found out I was the person who was being bad the person that no one could talk

including Petersen either declined to comment or didnt respond to interview requests Young was chosen by the Detroit Lions in the second round of the 2011 NFL draft After what appeared to be an uneventful rookie season he unraveled He suckerpunched teammate Louis Delmas during an offseason workout He headbutted an opponent He intentionally lined up in the wrong place on the field during a game He threw a tantrum at a Detroitarea cellphone store He posted a series of bizarre messages on social media He snapped at strangers without provocation He couldnt sleep He grew paranoid Titus

and the mother of his son When he got to Detroit he wasnt the biggest player on the team anymore That messed with his mental side He was used to having the spotlight the attention on him Titus doesnt take direction very well If somebody tried to coach him or teach him how to do it a little bit better Titus would say No Ive got it Youngs parents Richard and Teresa didnt respond to interview requests for this article but in court documents and previous interviews the family linked the alarming behavior to a concussion during Youngs rookie season He told a cousin and close friend Ezekiel Phillips about absorbing a hard hit feeling dazed shaking it off and continuing to play The Lions injury report never mentioned it Maldonado said Young didnt want to believe he suffered from a mental health problem Blaming concussions seemed easier While packing for a trip to Las Vegas in 2012 Maldonado heard Young telling someone to stop recording He was speaking to a smoke detector The device beeped every few seconds because of a low battery Young thought the detector contained a camera Maldonado realized something was wrong something deeper than the passing effects of a concussion The day after the Lions released Young in February 2013 the Rams claimed him He lasted 10 days Young ended up outside Robinsons home rambling that he would be the Rams top receiver in the coming season He

Around midnight he entered a condominium in San Clemente through an unlocked sliding glass door on the second floor Bill Plattos an Army veteran and real estate broker heard footsteps on the hardwood floors He grabbed a Model 94 Winchester from under his bed When Young burst into the bedroom Plattos almost pulled the trigger Instead he yelled Young scampered away Orange County sheriffs deputies chased Young through the neighborhood and tackled him on the front porch of another home During the scuffle Young grabbed one deputys throat and clawed anothers hand before they handcuffed him Young denied everything even the arrest to deputies He told them he couldnt hear because of selective listening He claimed he didnt remember anything because of too many concussions while playing in the NFL He challenged a deputy to fight Young bounced in and out of treatment centers and eventually landed in Martin Luther King Jr Community Hospital in early July 2014 He had been accused of assaulting four people in the previous two months Brian Hurwitz then Youngs attorney visited the family in the hospital I told my mother dont bring my attorney Young wrote in the diary To my surprise there he is When Hurwitz told Young he couldnt go home the former football player punched the attorney according to a LA County Sheriffs Department report Young knocked Hurwitz unconscious and broke his nose Months later LA County Superior Court Judge Michael J Schultz sentenced Young for the attack on Hurwitz five years of probation 191 days already served in jail and a year of inpatient treatment at the Crosby Center a facility in Escondido Young had already spent three months at Crosby A psychologist at the center Robert Knol testified that previous clinics misdiagnosed Young as bipolar or schizophrenic He actually suffered from symptoms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy Knol said the neurodegenerative disease better known as CTE thats related to traumatic brain injury A passage from Titus Youngs journal about the frailty of pro athletes Family photo Knol told the judge medication wasnt effective for Young so they werent using any Larry Burns the centers director repeatedly told the court Young was misdiagnosed Hes a fine young man Burns testified He was overmedicated He went sideways uncontrollably When we got him we basically decompressed him and hes been a model And I see this kid going places During a brief statement to the judge Young said I have brain trauma and apologized for attacking Hurwitz This is the biggest chance that youre given You will not get another one from me Schultz told Young You have to figure out a way to control your temper and take ownership of it The judge warned Young this was his last opportunity to avoid serving time in prison Perched on a hill the 4000squarefoot home where Young spent the remainder of 2015 looked like a mansion But in his jailhouse diary Young described the Crosby Center as prison Crosby Center staff shuttled patients between the home and a nearby office Young participated in group therapy with former NFL players in addition to neuropsychiatric tests biofeedback brain scans and acupuncture The guy is a teddy bear recalled Pete Daniels one of the centers employees The centers website describes Crosby as the premier destination for treating serious brainrelated disorders However in March 2015 the NFL Players Assn issued a fraud alert describing director Burns as having accumulated numerous convictions for felony FRAUDrelated violations Burns called the alert a slander In a court filing to oversee the almost 600000 left in Youngs bank account his mother and sister said his conditions included acute psychosis and schizophrenia related to a traumatic brain injury Daniels said a key part of Youngs treatment was stabilizing him on the right medication despite Knols testimony saying none were needed Part of the probation report for Titus Young The probation report said the center discharged Young in January 2016 after he assaulted a staff member Burns denied any assault occurred No calls for service by the Escondido Police Department or San Diego County Sheriffs Department match such an incident Young no longer taking medication Burns said returned to South Los Angeles My mindset during the time wasnt focused and disciplined to go back to the NFL Young wrote in the diary Obviously I had no business being back in the hood I have to move far away from California Two years have passed since a shirtless man gripping a dark object jogged down West 64th Street as midnight approached in LAs hardscrabble Harvard Park neighborhood Sweat made Youngs chest glossy despite the January chill When he encountered Marcus Garland near an intersection he rained punches on his longtime neighbors head No words no warning They had never fought or argued Garland later testified in LA County Superior Court not even earlier in the day when Young took Garlands bike without permission and announced that he had urinated on himself Titus Young is shown in a 2017 mugshot California Department of Corrections Garland said the blows felt as though they were coming from a piece of metal The beating continued after he tumbled to the ground He needed eight stitches to close the gash on the right side of his head LA police officers found Young hiding behind a large plant in his parents backyard a halfblock away Richard Young told officers his son tried to fight him the probation report said He tried to fight the officers too before they took him into custody Phillips bailed out Young at 1225 am and drove him to the Crosby Center Later that morning Escondido police responded to the center for a welfare check on because Young was acting aggressive yelling and speaking to a relative in an aggressive manner according to police He wasnt taken into custody and surfaced that evening in downtown Carlsbad He harassed an employee for drugs at a clothing store tried to start a fight broke a video game machine at Pizza Port Brewing Co and attempted to fight passersby in the street Police arrested Young and he was later charged with five crimes including battery making a criminal threat and vandalism My fight or flight in my brain was off and that could be due to head trauma suffered while playing football Young wrote in the diary a year after the arrest and a stay at Metropolitan State Hospital in Norwalk All I know now is Im back to normal and I take good medication and Im not ashamed of it either Its kind of hard for me to think wisely in sticky situations where I feel threatened Taking the medicine allows my mood to be stabilized and helps with hearing voices Yeah I have heard voices as well The voices came and came from the bipolar Its usually when I let my brain relax and focus on others I can kind of hear them In two NFL seasons Titus Young had 81 catches for 990 yards and 10 touchdowns Al Messerschmidt Getty Images Along with being sentenced to four years at the California Rehabilitation Center in Norco for the Garland assault Young was given two years to serve concurrently for the Carlsbad incidents Inmate No BC9104 is eligible for a parole hearing in March It is unfortunate if the defendant suffers from brain injury as a result of playing football the probation report said Nevertheless it noted Garland could have been severely injured or died due to being struck numerous times in the head Garland told the probation officer he wanted Young to do time and blamed the assault on drug use not a brain injury When Ornstein talked to Young a couple of months ago the conversation revolved around an NFL comeback Ornstein told him to stay in shape run sprints stay out of trouble the usual admonitions What Ornstein didnt have the heart to say is returning to the league is all but impossible Maldonado the former girlfriend thinks Young needs to get out of LA move somewhere secluded understand hes out of chances surround himself with the right people Robinson the high school coach still wonders how someone with so much ability such a magnetic personality could fall so far He doesnt know what Young can do for a living on the other side of a prison wall Plattos who cant shake the memory of Young bursting into his bedroom doesnt believe this will end well Thank God I have it all under control now Young wrote in a diary entry titled Im flawed So when I make this comeback to the league Rodger Godell sic and the rest will understand that athletes are not exempt in mental illness We have to live with these differences for the rest of our life FOR THE RECORD 3 pm An earlier version of this story incorrectly quoted a journal entry as saying So when I make this comeback to the league God and the rest will understand that athletes are

Friday October 25 2013 Transferring a Beading Pattern to Fabric A Tutorial Embellishments can really add to a garment I knew I wanted to add beads on the peplum portion of this dress and I assumed that I would be happy with a straight border But that just looked blah to me after perusing Pinterest for inspiration The first step was coming up with a motif that would work with the fabric and overall garment design I am always drawn to florals but they did not seem quite right for this If there were 48 hours in a day and I could bead at super human speed I would have encrusted the entire peplum à la this Dior creation but would probably skip the eye makeup But that would take years After doing a search for vintage beaded garments I came across this dress The leaf motif was beautiful sophisticated and also had curlicues that match back to the damask pattern Perfect Using all of the above as a starting point I sketched out a few ideas that would fit on the front peplums The issue of how to transfer the sketch to fabric was my first challenge on top of that a mirror image was needed for the opposite side And that was when I remembered my tracing paper After finalizing the design with paper and pencil it was transferred to the tracing paper and then to a scrap of sheer muslin with a fabric pen But then what My first inclination was to stitch directly through that muslin Since I was going to add a layer of silk organza to stabilize the extra weight created by all those beads I decided to place the design directly onto the silk Because it is so sheer tracing the image was easy Curves are a bit of a bother to transfer onto woven fabric because the pen is dragging through the bias To keep things from sliding around I used quite a few pins After pinning the design into place I hand basted through all the layers organza hair canvas fabric which allowed me to see the design from the right side without worrying that chalk or pen marks might not permanently disappear after the beading was finished I chose a thread color for basting that was different enough to be visible but not so jarring that I would have to remove every last bit of it When the lighting was not so great I could turn the piece over to check for the original basted design lines I should also mention that before beading the actual peplum I tested the design out on a scrap of material If it turned out to be a big mess I did not want to have a ton of pin pricks marring my peplum pieces For the actual beading I used a single strand of silk thread Beading needles are super long and they would have been awkward for this project so I found a tiny sharp that fit through the beads The beads are applied with a basic backstitch With the needle and thread on the right side of the fabric I pick up two beads and let them drop the length of the thread to towards the fabric The needle is pushed through the fabric right to left and pulled through to the previous bead on that row Next the needle is pushed through the two beads left to right and the thread is pulled taught That repeats following the line of basting stitches It was a lot of work but the end is almost in sight Britex has generously provided the fabric and sewing supplies for a dress I will be wearing to a formal event in October I will be sharing some of the steps and construction techniques with you as I work on this project over the next couple of months Posted by Laura Mae at 1214 AM Email This BlogThis Labels Beading Gala 2013 Hand Sewing In progress Sewing Tutorial Older Post Home Subscribe to Post Comments Atom
