Original post:
As he shut down the Los Angeles Register a daily newspaper he launched just five months ago Aaron Kushner found himself once again redefining "failure."
The co-owner and chief executive of Freedom Communications, the parent company of the Orange County Register, explained the latest retreat from a bold regional expansion in a statement to employees, also signed by co-owner Eric Spitz.
"Pundits and local competitors who have closely followed our entry into Los Angeles will be quick to criticize our decision to launch a new newspaper, and they will say that we failed," the owners wrote. "We believe the true definition of failure is not taking bold steps toward growth."
Kushner and Spitz used almost the same language in June, when they announced that Freedom would roll the recently launched Long Beach Register into the Los Angeles Register then brand new and impose companywide furloughs.
The closure of the Los Angeles paper Tuesdays was the final edition also came with layoffs.
On Tuesday, Freedom eliminated 29 newsroom positions across the company, the Orange County Register reported. Editors and reporters from both the O.C. and L.A. Registers were among those who lost their jobs.
The cuts leave the O.C. Register's editorial staffing at 220, higher than in 2011 before Kushner bought Freedom, the paper said.
The developments are the latest indication of financial stress at Freedom. But the move to launch a competing newspaper in Los Angeles would have been difficult for even the healthiest of media companies, media consultant Alan Mutter said.
Newspaper companies have for decades found it extremely difficult to move into new markets, said Rick Edmonds, a media business analyst with the Poynter Institute. Today, with print advertising revenue steadily falling nationwide, that peril is only magnified, he said.
"The basic strategy was pretty badly flawed from the get-go," Edmonds said of Freedom's expansion into L.A.

Freedom Industries has tentatively agreed to release long-sealed budget reports showing actual past expenses and projected future costs for cleaning up the site of the January chemical leak but some budget information will likely remain hidden.
In a federal bankruptcy court hearing in Charleston Tuesday which Chief Judge Ronald Pearson called over concerns that too much of Freedoms limited assets were being spent on things other than remediating the Elk River site, which he said is the primary goal the judge asked Freedoms Chief Restructuring Officer Mark Welch whether the company is amenable to publicly releasing the documents that Pearson has been keeping under seal.
Pearson said he believes releasing them would increase public confidence in the process.
Welch, whom Freedom hired to manage its finances while it winds down operations, said he no longer objected to the documents being made public, though Freedom attorney Mark Freedlander then asked Pearson whether the court would still keep hidden budget assumptions that include narratives and other explanations of how the projected figures are calculated.
Pearson agreed, and the court and Freedoms attorneys now plan to negotiate about what will be released and when.
Welch said hes not opposed to releasing all past and future periodic budgets for the remediation of the Etowah Terminal site, where a leak of Crude MCHM and other chemicals fouled the water of hundreds of thousands of West Virginians for days.
He said he wanted the documents sealed previously for various concerns, including that there were more unanswered questions about the cost of remediation at the time and that he wanted to keep potential bidders on the cleanup work from basing their bids on projected costs.
He said his concerns are allayed now that Freedom has hired Arcadis as a new project management and remediation contractor following its June firing of Civil & Environmental Consultants shortly after there were two overflow incidents of potentially contaminated stormwater into the river in two days under its watch and hired SPSI as a direct site cleanup subcontractor.
Ive replaced operational management, Welch said. Ive replaced everybody.
The budget documents could shed more light on the ongoing costs of the remediation process at a time when the judge, Freedoms creditors and the wider public are concerned that the bankrupt companys initially limited funds are dwindling to a point that it wont be able to both adequately remediate the site and pay its obligations.

Layoffs hit the Orange County Register on Tuesday after owner Freedom Communications ceased publication of its Los Angeles daily five months after it debuted.
The number of layoffs wasnt immediately clear, but it appeared to be a mix of both Los Angeles and Orange County reporters and editors. A human resources worker told a laid-off O.C. Register staffer that the total was in the 20s companywide, the former staffer said.
The Los Angeles Register, which launched in April as part of Aaron Kushner's bold bet on print newspapers, published its final edition Tuesday. On its front page, the papers owners thanked readers for their support and patronage.
Orange County Register co-owner Kushner announced the decision Monday night in a memo sent to employees.
"Pundits and local competitors who have closely followed our entry into Los Angeles will be quick to criticize our decision to launch a new newspaper and they will say that we failed," said the memo, signed by Kushner and his Freedom Communications co-owner Eric Spitz.
"We believe the true definition of failure is not taking bold steps toward growth."
The memo hints at layoffs, but provided no specific details.
"There will be some staff changes with our content team as part of the changes in Los Angeles," the memo said. "For those that will be leaving, we say thank you. We are most grateful for their service to the community."
The company will now focus on core markets in Orange County, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, where the company has decades-long and "deep relationships with subscribers and advertisers," the memo said.
Freedom Communications acquired the Riverside Press-Enterprise in November.

Eugenics The Georgia Guidestones new date Douchebags & Depopulation - Video
When you hear about the governor who gave New Havens largest high school its name, you never hear about a state-commissioned report that would have carried out a Nazi-style ethnic cleansing campaign in Connecticut. One group in town says its time you did.
The secret 1938 report, prepared for the state by a pro-eugenics researcher with ties to Nazi Germany, called for mass sterilization and deportation based on a ranking of all Connecticut citizens by 21 classifications such as race descent, nativity and citizenship, and kin in institutions. Blacks, Jews, immigrants, the poor, and most of all people with physical deficiencies such as blindness and deafness, and people classified as mentally handicapped, would not fare well in that project.
The plan never became reality, although Connecticut did have a sterilization law, first enacted in 1909 and found to be constitutional by the state attorney general in 1912. Under the law the state sterilized 557 people classified as mentally handicapped or insane, up until 1963. (A woman could be classified as feeble-minded for having a child out of wedlock or a low IQ test score.)
Details about the secret report emerged in recent years due to the research of a prolific author about American institutional connections to Nazi-era crimes, named Edwin Black. His work caught the interest of the New Haven chapter of a group called the Society of Former Slaves and Freemen, which has begun circulating excerpts of Blacks writing on the subject. (The video captures an event the group held in New Haven this past weekend.)
Society organizer Linwood Branham Sr. (at center in photo at the top of this story) contacted the Independent to ask that the subject be raised with the broader community, to spark discussion about Wilbur Crosss role and how we should recognize it today, including whether to have the citys largest public high-school and the Wilbur Cross Parkway named after him. Yales alumni association also gives out an award in Crosss name. No word of the episode appears in official or widely read accounts of Crosss tenure in office, which focus instead on the opening of the parkway and his ascension to political office after a non-political career as a Yale English professor and literary critics.
Our forefathers did not always do the right thing. We have the obligation to set some things straight. The people will decide what to do about it, Branham said.
We have to be able to talk about these things. We have to heal and grow as a society. (Those interested in contacting the society about it can email Branham .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).)
A current Yale professor who specializes in eugenics research and has revisited some of the source material that forms the basis of Blacks work agreed that this was a disturbing episode in Connecticut history. He disagreed that evidence points to personal culpability by Cross.
What do you think? Lets start with Blacks argument.
Black, the son of Holocaust survivors, is a journalist who has written numerous books and spoken around the world about genocide and human rights. He has assembled teams of researchers to pore into untold stories about ties between, for instance, IBM and the Carnegie Institution and prominent American scholars with the emerging Nazi regime in the 1930s.

Imagine that all women in the United States, upon becoming sexually active, were automatically fitted with an intrauterine device or other form of long-acting birth control. This scenario sounds creepy, with its undertones of Big Brother and eugenics; framed this way, it would be neither a realistic nor a desirable development.
But this thought experiment, provoked by a new book by Brookings Institution scholar Isabel Sawhill, illuminates two important societal and technological realities.
First, as Sawhill describes in Generation Unbound: Drifting into Sex and Parenthood Without Marriage, single parenthood is becoming the unhealthy new normal. Once, single parenthood was the consequence of divorce or the province of the poorest and least educated.
Now, divorce rates are edging down. The prevalence of single parenting is largely a function of the never-married. The average woman today has her first baby before she is married. Meanwhile, single parenthood is invading the ranks of the middle class, often involving children with multiple partners.
The stereotypical single mother used to be a high school dropout. No more. In 2010, Sawhill notes, 58percent of first births to those with high school diplomas or some college were out of wedlock. (The comparable figure for those with a college degree was just 12percent.)
The paradox of the growing rate of single parenthood is that teenage pregnancy and birth rates have plummeted since the 1990s. But 20-somethings are the new teens: Unwanted pregnancies soared in this cohort during that same period. Among single women under 30, about 70percent of pregnancies are unplanned; just under half of these pregnancies are carried to term.
The resulting children are the product of unstable relationships. In one study of 5,000 newborns in large and midsize U.S. cities, half the parents were living together at the time of birth; another third were dating. But by the time the children were age 5, only one-third of those couples were still together compared with 80percent of their married counterparts.
More disturbing, many of those single mothers went on to have additional children with other partners, introducing new layers of instability into their childrens already complicated lives.
Certainly, single parents can be dedicated and capable caregivers. Yet the broader trend toward single parenthood is undeniably bad for the children involved. If marriage rates returned to their level in 1970, according to Sawhills calculations, the rate of child poverty would be about 20percent lower.
Still, there is no reversing the inexorable trend against marriage. This acceptance reflects a shift for Sawhill, who just a couple of years ago was asserting that Dan Quayle was right when he criticized television character Murphy Brown for choosing unwed motherhood. Marriage, Sawhill argued then, should be celebrated as the best environment for raising children.

Calgon Carbon 's ( CCC ) fully owned subsidiary - Hyde Marine, Inc. - has been chosen by Edison Chouest Offshore ("ECO") for supplying its ballast water treatment (BWT) systems to ECO's extensive fleet of ships. A Letter of Intent has been signed between the two companies, under which, Hyde Marine has agreed to supply BWT systems to more than 250 ships in keeping with all the regulations.
Hyde Marine has received more than 15 Hyde GUARDIAN BWT system installation orders from ECO. The company has also arranged a complete functional system to train crew members and shipyard personnel regarding the installation and operation guidelines at ECO headquarters in Cut Off, LA.
The Hyde GUARDIAN Gold BWT system is chemical free and approved by both International Maritime Organization (IMO) and United States Coast Guard (USCG) Alternative Management System (AMS). It treats ballast water with a two-way method to check the spread of invasive microorganisms.
The Hyde GUARDIAN BWT System features modular and compact design with less power consumption, low-pressure drop and an uncomplicated fully-automatic mechanism which makes it suitable for ships.
The Hyde GUARDIAN BWT System, the first to be approved by both IMO and AMS, has helped the maritime market with updated information about ballast water treatment regulations making it a natural choice for ECO. Hyde GUARDIAN has been approved by AMS to be used on ships for five years as it abides by the USCG Ballast Water Discharge Standards.
Calgon Carbon, one of the prominent pollution control companies along with CECO Environmental Corp. ( CECE ) and Donaldson Company, Inc. ( DCI ), ventured into the global market for ballast water treatment with its acquisition of Hyde Marine in 2010.

Clarks Summit (PRWEB) September 24, 2014
Made from durable PVC plastic, Z Poolform locks directly into the supplied receiver track on concrete and fiberglass pools, or into the liner track on a vinyl liner pool. The new pool edge forming system will alleviate the need for more traditional and less functional styrofoam coping edge forms to create a custom cantilevered pool edge. Architects, contractors, pool builders, and designers will all appreciate the carefully thought-out system that this new idea implements, which allows for easy installation in just a couple hours. This saves time and money for the contractor and customer.
Pool contractors will immediately realize the countless hours of engineering that went into the Z Poolform Stystem. Concrete will not leak between or under the Z Poolforms and there is no need for additional tie wires or bracing.
A spokesman for Concrete Countertop Solutions, explained that they developed this revolutionary system to replace the single use styrofoam option which often results in waste of materials and an inferior product. Z Poolform is also "eco friendly" because it minimizes waste at the completion of the job. Z Poolforms can be reused by simply cleaning them at the end of each project. Best of all, this new method yields more consistent and error-free results than the traditional styrofoam pool forms and creates a beautiful custom textured cantilevered pool edge, which cannot be obtained any other way.
Concrete Countertop Solutions executives stated that they are offering 7 different edge profile choices with complementing surface stamps and texture mats. This will allow the concrete pool deck to match the custom edge texture.
The benefits of this new pool coping form technology are immense. Its quick and easy to install and reuse, it allows for custom-edge details, and it allows you to create a perfect decorative edge with minimal errors and mess. It works with all types of pools, including fiberglass, vinyl liner, and concrete, making it a solution that can be used in multi-purpose environments and installation scenarios. This product will forever change the way concrete pool decks are installed.
The new concrete pool coping form system is now available in their online store at: http://www.concretecountertopsolutions.com.
Concrete Countertop Solutions is the premier industry leader in do it your self concrete countertop systems and is the founder of the patented concrete countertop system called Z-Counterform System. Other systems in their inventory include: Z Liqui-Crete System, and now the Z-Poolform Pool Coping System. Based out of Clarks Summit, PA, each system was designed for the end user in mind. Concrete Countertop Solutions is always at the forefront of concrete technology and sells their products and systems through their online store as well as through distributors nationwide.
