Credit Suisse has been given to me as the financial instution providing backing for Bob's current plans.
"Credit Suisse announced a third-quarter loss of $1.12 billion as a result of heavy write-downs in its investment bank, mostly stemming from problems in the hard-hit structured products and leveraged finance units. "

A document recently obtained from some friends of mine suggest that the Los Angeles Unified School District is going to change the boundary areas of Narbonne High School to allow 150 seats at the proposed South Region High School #15 to go to students who would have normally attended Narbonne High School, if the boundaries were to remain as they currently are.
The new campus is proposed to have 800 seats and the major reason for building the new campus was stated by LAUSD to ease overcrowding at San Pedro High School.
At this time I have no idea where the new boundary lines will be drawn and there is no confirmation that any part of the Ponte Vista site is going to be changed.
Historically, public high schoolstudents living on the site now called Ponte Vista at San Pedro attended Narbonne High School as their 'home school'.
I think we all have a stake in finding out where the new boundary lines might be drawn.

Sometimes I need to write some humor that isn't really part of the issues dealt with on my blogs.
Since my employment with ATT has been "terminated" effective on October 9, 2008 and the economy the way it is, I find humor is needed during some tough times to help us all carry on.
It is for many reasons that I include, on this post, some things I find funny that have nothing directly related to Ponte Vista.
"Joe the Plumber"
The gentleman's name is Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, yet John McCain think his name is pronounced "Joe Wurzelburger".
'Plumbers do not need a State license to work in Ohio, but they do need one in cities like Toledo, where 'Joe' claims he has worked for fifteen years.
'Joe' doesn't have a plumber's license or even a contractor's license for cities he claims he works in.
'Joe' doesn't like Senator Obama's tax plan and he has a tax lien against him to prove he doesn't like taxes.
'Joe' has never been listed as a plumbers' Union member and there is no record that he ever served an apprenticeship.
'Joe' claims he wants to buy a business that makes "$250,000-$280,000" per year, yet his income for 2006 was recorded to be approximately $40,000 for the entire year.
The business 'Joe' claims he wants to buy isn't worth anywhere near the figures he gave to Senator Obama.
'Joe' would most certainly benefit from the tax plan proposed by Senator Obama.
'Joe' claimed to be an Independent, although he is registered as a Republican.
And now for some more humor.
I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....
* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic,
different.'
* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American story.
* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Bristol, Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.
* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first
black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive
that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law
professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over
750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6
years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the
governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become
the country's second highest ranking executive.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2
beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your
disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.
* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper
use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other
option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen
daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a
prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community,
then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent
America's.
* If your husband is nicknamed 'First Dude', with at least one DWI conviction
and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was
a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your
family is extremely admirable.
OK, much clearer now.
"I do wonder about Obama hanging around with his former bomber friend. I mean this guy bombed military installations. If civilians got hurt that was just "collateral damage." All of this to try to hasten the end of the Viet Nam war. Then he got caught and sent to prison for a few years. In spite of this bad beginning this fellow became a respectable citizen and even got involved in politics. Some say that this makes it OK for Obama to hang with him. By the way, his name is.................John McCain."

We have a great blog here. Let's try and keep the partisan politics out. I had an uncle who told me when I was young and growing up "Mellonhead,don't argue religion or politics with other people. All it does is cause trouble." Let's keep the focus on Mr. Bisno and his proposed folly.
speaking of, he's got a new video with a bunch of local flacks talking it up.
check it out:

Good idea Mellonhead, no politics.
But I can't help myself. All politicians suck. Their purpose in life it to distort truth and drive the public "perception" toward their side at ALL COST. Obama is one of them Mark. Don't fool yourself. His big ideas won't mean squat. He will get in and flounder like all the rest. Then the Republicans will be on the attack.
And by the way, it doesn't matter who Joe the plummer is. The point is that Obama will take us ever so much closer to Socialism if he implements his plan. The prospect of working hard to become rich has driven innovation in this country from the beginning (Capitolism). Don't forget it. Name one Socialist society that even comes remotely close to the US in the area of innovation, technology and business development. It's okay to hate the rich, but let's face it, they are typically the ones who create job opportunities for the middle class(including union labor).
P.S. - I hope your job situation gets better quick!
Thanks mellonhead and anonymous.
I think I will continue my comments and move your comments to www.sanpedroissuestoponder.blogspot.com.
I think I have kept my feeling about national politics out of this blog for the vast majority of posts.

An interesting article in the Breeze Saturday everyone who's interested in the Ponte Vista folly should read. Where is the money going to come from for anyone to build or buy any property?
