After authority was from Jesus who is all, when was the last time you built a giant ark like Noah, or spent the the only route to salvation. night in the belly of a whale like Jonah, or gave birth to the Savior of 4.) Immediately after Jesus’ crucifixion, the world like Mary? Well, have you ever thought about Peter? He was a Peter and the other disciples ran away, thinking that they would be brash fisherman who often spoke without thinking and was known to take killed next for having been associated with Jesus. They essentially went into two steps forward and one step back in his faith. Now that’s a person we hiding for fear of their lives. But after the resurrection, after being severely all can relate to! And yet God transformed Peter’s life to the degree that flogged as punishment for preaching about Jesus, Peter rejoiced for having he is one of the most prominent figures in the New Testament. In fact, he is suffered in Jesus’ name (Acts 5:40-41). Peter obviously was not the same mentioned 83 times alone in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and 71 times man he once was. The Lord had done a great work in his life! in the book of Acts. God changed him from an ordinary fishermen to an These are the kind of things that happen when God gets a hold of extraordinary fisher of men (Matthew 4:18-20). you and the power of Jesus’ resurrection changes your life, too.

However, hours before Christ was crucified, Peter denied Jesus three times, saying he never knew Him.

H With sales and price breaks lasting just a day or a few hours and a host of special Vending Legalized discounts and membership deals available during the frenzied holiday season, it’s easy for mistakes to happen, said a spokesman for the county’s Weights and Measures Bureau.

Complaints should include Huizar took part in a City Hall rally organized with the Los Angeles the shelf price and advertised price, the scanned price, the date of the overcharge and the Street Vendor Campaign, a coalition of groups advocating the legalization store name and location. of street vending of food and other merchandise. Officials say all complaints will be investigated. A motion introduced by Huizar and fellow Councilman Curren Price would direct city officials to report back on a system to allow vendors that sell food and non-food merchandise to do so legally. The motion does not address food trucks, which are regulated by the county, said Huizar spokesman Rick Coca.

* * *

The motion was referred to the City Council’s Economic Development and the Public Works and Gang Reduction committees. Street vending has a strong presence not only in his South Los Angeles district, but also citywide, and is a “primary source of income for many people,” Price said. Legalizing street vending would be “good for micro-enterprises and for the local economy,” and would also “ensure that the goods meet public health and safety standards,” he said. The status of street vendors has been much-debated at the county level, with operators of brick-and-mortar businesses contending that street vendors pose safety and health hazards. Street vendors also have an unfair advantage because they do not have to deal with the expense of paying rent for storefronts, the businesses say. Huizar said the legalization of street vending in other major cities like New York, San Francisco and Chicago demonstrate street vendors can co-exist with brick-and-mortar businesses. Some of the regulations being considered include creating a buffer between vendors and storefronts, he said, while some businesses may find they want to supplement their own operation by incorporating street vending. L.A. City Council OKs Rewards in “Swatting” Cases he Los Angeles City Council gave final approval last month to a ordinance allowing the city to offer rewards in “swatting” pranks in which people make phony reports to draw SWAT officers to the Thomes of celebrities or other high-profile figures. City officials, already authorized to offer rewards for crimes that result in “economic injuries” suffered through “unnecessary emergency response,” makes it clear “swatting” is among those crimes. It defines swatting as a “malicious prank that causes alaw enforcement emergency response to a location where no crime is Best wishes for a joyous holiday season occurring.” The idea was proposed by City Councilman Paul Koretz, who was from Porter Ranch Development Company. soon targeted and twice had his home swarmed with law enforcement officers based on false reports. Though the vote to approve the ordinance was unanimous last week, not enough council members were present to pass the legislation outright. “This is an aggressive group of people, and I think we do need to respond to this kind of thing,” Koretz said.”Something will eventually go wrong if we don’t nip this practice in the bud.” Koretz said he was getting into the shower April 10 when several police officers arrived at his apartment with guns drawn. Police had a report shots were fired at Koretz’s apartment, whose address was identified as the home of former Laker Magic Johnson. Two days later, a bogus report sent police to Koretz’s home again. Police said someone reported hostages were being held in a closet. Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Redondo Beach, introduced “anti-swatting” state legislation earlier this year, and his home was also targeted by pranksters in April. Lieu’s wife was ordered out of their home by police, who received a text claiming Lieu had shot his wife. Lieu was not home at the time and was initially shaken when he learned there was a report that his wife had been shot. Also in April, pranksters claimed there had been an assault at the home of record producer and rapper Sean Combs, a shooting at singer ShapellHomes.com Rihanna’s home, shots fired at the home of Justin Timberlake and a homicide at the home of singer Selena Gomez.

Attorneys for SingerLewak LLP filed court papers Nov. 15 with Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Terry Green seeking approval of the settlement. The proposed resolution calls for both sides to drop their lawsuits against each other in exchange for SingerLewak paying the settlement money to the commission. The accord is subject to a finding by the judge that it is being made in good faith. The suit, filed Feb. 14, alleges two causes of action for negligence and a third that maintains the accountants put their interests ahead of those of the commission. The commission sued SingerLewak on Feb. 14. In a separate suit brought in 2011, the commission alleged that two of its former administrators skimmed hundreds of thousands of dollars of public money. Do Corruption and In the earlier complaint, the plaintiffs claimed the Coliseum’s former general manager, Pat Lynch, and co-defendant Todd DeStefano diverted money from raves staged by co-defendants Insomnia Inc. and Go Ventures. A half-dozen people were indicted last year in connection with the Politics Go Together? scandal, including Insomniac dance party producer Pasquale Rotella, former Coliseum technology manager Leopold Caudillo Jr., former stadium By Filipe Campante contractor Tony Estrada, Lynch and DeStefano, and Reza Gerami, of Go Ventures. ne thing that unites Americans, pretty much wherever they are from, is the conviction The commission’s suit against SingerLewak alleges the accountants were that their own state is singularly corrupt.

But corruption is a common problem in most places, California probably isn’t as bad as Also never identified was $965,000 in cash payments to a stagehand you think. And if it is especially bad, we know our state has a small capital city—one that is far union working at the Coliseum, the commission claims. The commission says away from your state’s biggest population centers. As it turns out, that’s not coincidental. it would not have invested $6.7 million in a video scoreboard but for the Think of a U.S. state, and the city that comes to mind probably isn’t the capital.

Much thought, and a lot of political back-and-forth, went into the process of designating state capitals. Among the many considerations in the historical development.

If the most powerful economic interests are too close to the center of political power, the idea went, the latter would be too easily captured by the former, opening the door for corruption. The idea seems sensible at face value. But it has backfired. My research (with my colleague Quoc-Anh Do, from Sciences Po Paris) has found, according to a number of different measures, that states with more isolated capital cities are ranked as more corrupt. This is true even when you control for many characteristics that have been found to correlate with corruption at the state level, such as education or income. Using statistical techniques we actually found evidence supportive of a causal interpretation— in other words, that having a more isolated capital city leads to more corruption. Call today to schedule a But why would that be the case? The likely answer is that having an isolated capital city means putting too much distance between politicians and the sort of people who hold them in check. CAMPUS TOUR Start with the media, and specifically newspapers, which play the most prominent Middle School High School role in covering state politics. We find that newspapers with readers close to the capital tend to devote significantly more coverage to state politics and politicians. When the 818.363.8127 818.347.8300 capital is in a small place, state politics is going to be covered by a small newspaper, with 19800 Devonshire St. 7500 Chaminade Ave. fewer journalistic resources and a smaller audience than their big-city brethren.

Our research found that states with more isolated capitals actually have more money in state politics. Most people would agree that corruption is a bad thing, with the possible exception of corrupt politicians themselves (and their partners in crime). More directly, however, we also find evidence that states with isolated capitals tend to spend less, andless effectively, in the provision of public goods such as education, and to spend more on administrative expenditures instead. With fewer people watching, politicians use public money less wisely. * * * This gets us to the ultimate question: Should we abandon the small-time capital? We could move California’s capital from Sacramento to LA. After all, the average Angeleno is unlikely to be any more or less honest than a Sacramentan, but the average Sacramentan, living in the capital, does seem to be more interested, informed, and engaged with what goes on in state government. Since there are many more Angelenos (and New Yorkers and Chicagoans and Philadelphians) than there are Sacramentans (or Albanians, Springfielders, or Harrisburgers), it could make a difference if we were to reverse that pattern by bringing www.chaminade.org (Continued on page 9) December, 2013 For Advertising Rates, Visit www.evalleyvoice.com Page 8 Letter to the Editor California Retired Welcome To Teachers Association Porter Ranch! he war to save public pensions is on.

Another major area of concern is that the CALSTRS unfunded obligation is growing by $22 million a day. This issue must be addressed quickly by the Governor and Legislature. If they fail to address this issue, our statewide debt will grow at an alarming Rate which will add fuel to the fire being set by those wishing to destroy our pension system. With the new Do Corruption and Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASP) measures now in place, which calculates the net pension liability, the deficit will appear to be to be in the billions and therefore advisaries will accuse us of creating billions of dollars of debt for the State of California. You should know Politics Go Together? that states and cities have been failing to fully fund their annual pension obligations. Instead (Continued from page 8) of using the funds to support pensions, they used the money to finance expensive tax cuts and corporate subsidies.

alifornia home sales declined for the third straight month in October because of economic uncertainty surrounding the government shutdown and a typical Cseasonal slowdown, although sales of condominiums and townhomes remained strong, the California Association of Realtors reported. “As anticipated, the housing market was disrupted by the closure of the federal government in October, which prolonged the loan approval process and led to the delay of many home closings, especially on FHA transactions,” said 2014 CAR President Kevin Brown. “That said, we are returning to a market that’s more balanced than we’ve seen in Chatsworth Hills recent years, with home price gains that are more sustainable and a sales pace that’s characteristic of a normal environment.” Closed escrow sales of existing single-family detached homes in California totaled a Academy seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 401,170 units in October, according to information collected by CAR from more than 90 local Realtor associations and Multiple Listing Services statewide. Sales in October were down 2.7 percent from a revised 412,260 in September and down 11.1 percent from a revised 451,090 in October 2012, a CAR statement said. The statewide sales figure represents what would be the total number of homes sold during 2013 if sales maintained the October pace throughout the year. It is adjusted to account for seasonal factors that typically influence home sales. The statewide median price of an existing, single-family detached home edged down 0.3 percent from September’s median price of $428,740 to $427,290 in October.

October’s price was 25.3 percent higher than the revised $340,910 recorded in October 2012, marking the 16th straight month of double-digit annual gains. The median sales price is the point at which half of homes sold for more and half sold for less; it is influenced by the types of homes selling as well as a general change in values. “The recent jump in interest rates, coupled with the run-up in home prices since the beginning of this year, lowered housing affordability. As such, many buyers are considering more affordable options such as condos and townhomes, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area, where there is a greater abundance of these property types,” said CAR Vice President and Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young. “As housing demand has cooled off in recent months, however, the statewide median price is finally showing some signs of stability. As we enter the slower home buying season, we expect home prices to be capped by seasonal factors and annual price gains to continue to taper off in the coming months.” Helping Children Learn, CAR today also reported that the available supply of existing single- family detached homes for sale dipped in October to 3.4 months, down from September’s Unsold Inventory Index of 3.6 months. The index was 3.1 months in October 2012. The Grow, and Discover for 35 Years index indicates the number of months needed to sell the supply of homes on the market at the current sales rate. A six- to seven-month supply is considered typical in a normal market. OPEN HOUSE DATES: The median number of days it took to sell a single-family home also increased to 33.1 days in October from 29.6 days in September, but was down from 38 days in Sunday, Jan. 26 1–3 p.m. October 2012, CAR said. Mortgage rates declined in October, with the 30-year fixed-mortgage interest rate averaging 4.19 percent, down from 4.49 percent in September but up from 3.38 percent Preschool–8th Grade in October 2012, according to Freddie Mac.
