ROBOTIC SIGN SPINNERS HIT FRESNO AREA STREETS
By Amanda Venegas
FRESNO, California --
We've all seen those sign spinners on major streets like Blackstone in Fresno and all across the state showing off sales or discounts. But as Action News reporter Amanda Venegas explains, there's a new kid on the block that's turning heads with an unbeatable work ethic. From far away, this sign spinners looks hard at work trying to sell pizza for Little Caesar's in Sanger. But if you take a closer look, you'll notice something unusual, it's not a person but a sign waving robot. And it seems to be catching others off guard too. "I thought it was real the first time, but after seeing it closer, it was fake," Yair Martinez said. "So it was cool you know." Every day, employees just wheel the sign waving robot out and turn his battery on. Little Caesar's pizza chain in Fresno and Sanger made the move to a robotic advertiser in order to be more efficient. So far Little Caesar's says the sign waving robot is an ideal employee. He works seven days a week and doesn't ask for a lunch break, something many of us couldn't do."For humans who make their living spinning. Well they have some strong opinions.
Princess has been showing off her signs for more than four years. We showed her the new wave of robotic mannequins.
"Well they have no class they don't have the body movements that a regular person has," said Princess. Others who have been twisting and turning signs for years say they can sell their products better than a robot. Rita Duarte explained, "The robot is just going to stand there and do the same thing and a real person can do different things, there is a difference."
But they say what makes them truly stand out is their personalities and the people driving by can clearly see it.
"Some of the world of Fresno loves me out here," said Princess. "If they don't see Princess out on the corner they might complain."
For now, Princess and her fellow sign spinners plan to just keep spinning in style.
The robot costs about a thousand dollars a month to rent which businesses say costs significantly less than it would cost to pay someone full time.

sign waving machine
The sign waving machine of the Constitution's Fifth Amendment made national news last week with the spectacle of AIG playing Hamlet in debating whether "to sue, or not to sue" the federal government over the terms of the company's bailout -- a rather backhanded way of thanking American taxpayers for keeping the company from certain bankruptcy in 2008. Wisely, the company, facing widespread public outrage, chose "not to sue." However, a lawsuit filed in 2011 by a group of AIG shareholders, led by the company's former chief executive, will go on. The shareholders allege, in part, that the terms of the bailout were so onerous that they violated the Constitution -- in lawyer-speak, that they represented an unconstitutional "taking" of the shareholders' "sign waving machine... for public use, without just compensation."
To see how ludicrous the shareholders' claim is, remember that when AIG agreed to a federal bailout the company was facing bankruptcy, with only one creditor available to save it -- the federal government. Had the government not stepped in, AIG would surely have gone bankrupt, and the shareholders would have been left with nothing. Therefore, the shareholders can't argue that government aid wasn't needed at the time -- nor do they. Instead, they claim that the final terms agreed to by AIG -- terms that granted the company $182 billion in loans and allowed it to stay in business -- led to an unconstitutional taking of the shareholders' private property because the terms excessively diluted their stock and the agreed-upon loans demanded a too-high interest rate from the company. Talk about biting the hand that fed you!
To understand why this ludicrous claim has not been laughed out of court, you have to shift from Wall Street to the land development world and to a decades-old "property rights" movement that has pushed to expand the scope of the Takings Clause. The next big Supreme Court case dealing with these issues -- indeed, the most important such case to be reviewed by the Court since John Roberts became Chief Justice -- Koontz v. St. Johns River Water Management District, will be argued tomorrow. This sign waving machine has been spearheaded by the Pacific Legal Foundation (sign waving machine), a conservative group that has worked for decades to turn the Takings Clause into a constitutional barrier to environmental protection.
While the amount of money in dispute in Koontz is far smaller than that at issue in the AIG case, the legal issues themselves are roughly the same: how broadly should the Takings Clause sweep and, in particular, under what circumstances can courts use the Takings Clause to second-guess the terms offered by the government during the course of its negotiations with private parties.
Coy Koontz, Sr. was a developer who sought a permit to dredge and fill more than three acres of protected wetlands in Florida. While the Water Management District wished to place reasonable conditions on Koontz's development permit to mitigate related environmental harms to the community -- conditions intended to comply with well-established state guidelines -- Koontz wanted to develop his land free of these conditions. In the end, Koontz cut off negotiations and sued the District, alleging a regulatory taking. Without getting too far into the legal weeds, Koontz's claim is a complete non-starter based on the text and history of the Takings Clause, as well as the Supreme Court's takings jurisprudence.
The text of the Takings Clause itself is quite narrow, and since the Court's unanimous decision in Lingle v. Chevron in 2005 regulatory takings, such as those alleged by Koontz, have been limited to situations in which a regulation's impact on a property owner is "functionally equivalent" to the "classic taking in which government directly appropriates private property." Given this framework, the key problem for Koontz is that the District took absolutely nothing from him. No one disputes that the District had the authority to deny Koontz's permit application outright. Furthermore, following the permit denial, Koontz was left with the same wetlands property he had before starting the permit application process -- property that, as Koontz himself concedes, retains some economic value.
To avoid a clear defeat, Koontz's PLF lawyers have cleverly attempted to reframe his claim as a challenge to the mitigation measures proposed by the District during the course of the parties' negotiations. This ploy is designed to allow Koontz to take advantage of a specialized set of tests developed by the Court in two cases, Nollan v. California Coastal Commission (1987) and Dolan v. City of Tigard (1994), which were decided at the heyday of the property rights movement in the Supreme Court, an effort that has since fizzled, at least until Koontz. The AIG shareholders have relied on a similar ploy in their suit against the federal government, alleging that the harms caused by the terms of AIG's bailout were, to borrow language from Dolan, not "roughly proportional" to the related benefits -- an argument rejected outright by the Court of Federal Claims, but one that becomes more plausible if PLF sign waving machine.
At bottom, this attempt to expand the reach of the Takings Clause is a bold effort to prevent the government from forcing developers to bear the costs that their development imposes on the community, and, in the case of AIG, to allow shareholders to dictate the terms of a government bailout. The Founders would be appalled at this risible effort to distort the Fifth Amendment.
This post was written with Tom Donnelly, Constitutional Accountability Center's Counsel and Message Director. sign waving machine CAC filed a brief in Koontz on behalf of the American Planning Association, the City of New York, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
sign waving machine
sign waving machine by the Shell Oil Company that had been adrift for days, ran aground off of Kodiak, Alaska. In response, this week, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced a review of the 2012 Arctic Ocean drilling season. Let's hope this assessment is more than just a paper exercise. The Department of the Interior allowed Shell to begin its drilling season in the Arctic last year in the first place -- a season that was plagued with problems from the start. The administration must look very carefully in the mirror to figure out what went wrong that resulted in it allowing a demonstrably unprepared company to venture into one of the most remote, inhospitable places on earth in search of oil, and it must make sure t hat it doesn't happen again. In case you missed it, just after Christmas Shell's oil drilling rig, the Kulluk,sign waving machine came loose from its tow ship, the Aiviq, in 24-foot waves in the Gulf of Alaska. First, the tow rope connecting the rig to the Aiviq split, leaving the massive drill rig to toss helplessly in the waves, carrying 140,000 gallons of diesel fuel. Then the Aiviq's engines failed leaving it adrift as well, requiring a dramatic rescue by the Coast Guard in 35-foot waves the next day. Four days of drama on the high-seas put people's lives at risk. It included Coast Guard rescue of the Kulluk crew and at-sea delivery of boat parts, as well as damage to vessels assisting in the response. Eventually, the wind and waves were too much for the response effort, and rig ran aground in shallow water -- water that is also home to endangered Steller sea lions, threatened Steller's eiders, threatened southwest sea otters, and salmon.
After a week on the rocks, the rig was pulled from the shore and taken to Kiliuda Bay -- a place of refuge for wildlife and now Shell's oil drilling rig as it undergoes a damage assessment.
Thankfully no one died, and it appears that a major ecological disaster sign waving machine.
Shell's decision to tow its drill rig from Dutch Harbor, Alaska to Seattle for repairs in the middle of the winter was bewildering. It's a time when storms are frequent and waves of the sort encountered by the Kulluk are common, and it wasn't long before the rig and the ship towing it, the Aiviq, ran into potentially life-threatening danger.
The episode was an exclamation mark on a disastrous season in the Arctic for Shell, whose track record before this latest accident would have been humorous were the safety and environmental implications not so grave. At every step, from construction to transport to testing, the company proved itself entirely unprepared for life in Alaskan waters.
The Kulluk is not even the company's first piece of drilling sign waving machine equipment to flirt with disaster this year. In July, Shell lost control of its drillship, the Noble Discoverer, when it dragged anchor in Dutch Harbor. In November, the Discoverer had a fire while in port and is reportedly under investigation by the Coast Guard for safety and environmental violations.
In September, Shell announced that its oil containment dome, equipment designed to cap an oil spill (and avoid what happened with the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico), was damaged during testing in "lake-like" conditions in Puget Sound. A sign waving machine inspector emailed that the dome "breached like a whale" and was "crushed like a beer can."
As an oil spill recovery barge, the company selected the Arctic Challenger, a ship that, despite its name, had spent the previous 20 years as a rusting hulk off the West Coast where it had become home to a colony of Caspian terns. Shell entered into a protracted sign waving machine dispute with the Coast Guard about what safety standards were necessary for the barge to operate in the Arctic.
The sign waving machine also sought a waiver of the provisions in its Clean Air Act permit and further announced it could not actually clean up 95 percent of a worst-case spill as it had promised. To those familiar with the inhospitable conditions of the Arctic, Shell's backtracking made sense. An oil spill in the Arctic Ocean, where infrastructure is almost nonexistent and conditions are unforgiving, would be impossible to contain or clean up. Now comes news late Thursday that the EPA has issued air pollution citations for "multiple permit violations" after an inspection of the Noble Discoverer as well as sign waving machine Shell's own reported emissions from its drilling rigs last summer showed the company to be at odds with federal standards.
The Department of the Interior must reassess its decisions that allowed Shell to proceed with its plans to drill in such a harsh but ecologically-sensitive area of the world. If DOI is realistic about the threats posed by such an operation, it should not let Shell back into the Alaska's waters to drill. The grounding of the Kulluk demonstrated Shell's lack of appreciation for the punishing conditions in Alaska and inadequate regard for safety of responders and the environment. A considerable amount of public resources have already been, and will continue to be spent saving Shell from itself in this latest salvage and rescue episode.
Most importantly, the benefit the public will eventually see from all this sign waving machine is extremely difficult to discern. A spoiled Arctic? A continued reliance on fossil fuels? Clearly, any oil Shell finds in the Arctic is not going to lower the gas prices for us. Energy Information Administration data shows the price at the pump tracks closely the international price of oil, not the percentage of oil coming from imports. In fact, as you may have noticed, the gas prices we are all paying have remained high over the past few years, even though the amount of oil pumped in the U.S. has been going up, not down.
While remote and harsh, the Arctic is also a beautiful place that issign waving machine vibrant communities of indigenous peoples. It is also home to spectacular wildlife, such as beluga and bowhead whales, walrus, polar bears and seals. This important place has been put at risk to allow Shell Oil to profit by drilling for oil. The American public should not be asked to bear the risks to bolster Shell's bottom line.
Shell has provided a helpful window into what a future of offshore drilling in the Arctic would look like, and it looks disastrous. With the announced review of Shell's activities, the administration has the opportunity to stand up and defend our country's natural resources. President Obama needs to put a stop to this misguided venture by big oil before the unthinkable catastrophe happens in the Arctic. There is no price tag on the Arctic and it is time to put the thought of drilling there back on the shelf.

SIGN WAVING MACHINE-
share this story 1360 sign waving machine Submit this story I fell in love with Beijing when I was sixteen. It was the mid-'90s. sign waving machine was still the pop star du jour; McDonald's was an upscale experience replete with clean tables and even cleaner toilets. Internet service and cell phones were nearly non-existent. Those days, you understood the city by two forms of transit: sign waving machine. You seldom took a taxi and if you did, it was the 'mianbao' (or 'breadbox') van, so named for its shape, which lacked seats and a meter. To American teenagers, like the ones I knew through my high school study abroad program, Beijing still felt like the Wild West with its unregulated taxis, narrow streets filled with donkey carts dragging apples and cabbage from the suburban farmland (since ploughed over to build row upon row of apartment blocks), and nightlife which consisted only of small Chinese discotheques, the tinseled row of bars hawking their happy hour specials on Sanlitun. The Beijing I knew and loved had pollution, sure, but it was of the type that belonged to a nation slowly shrugging off the cloak of Communism: coal smoke plumed above one-story hutong neighborhoods, alleyway windows billowed steam from busy restaurant kitchens. Of course, when we bicycled around the Third Ring Road (back then, the now traffic-clogged Fourth Ring was but a dream -- currently, six rings encircle the ballooning city), we returned to our Beijing homestays with 'black boogers' as we lovingly called them. We'd blow our noses and compete to see whose mucus was the darkest.But the skies were, as far as I remember, nearly always a bright, sign waving machine clear blue. Because there were more bicycles than automobiles (there are now more than five million cars on Beijing's streets), the air was only redolent of burning coal, not the now-noxious combination of car exhaust and construction and nearby factory fumes. In light of recent media reports about the staggering pollution levels in Beijing this week, which have reached unprecedented 'hazardous' levels, I felt I needed to return to the Beijing I once believed in. I looked to an old Beijing native for comfort: author sign waving machine, a prolific Chinese writer often glanced over in favor of the more esteemed likes of Mo Yan and Gao Xingjian.In Playing for Thrills (published in 1989 and translated into English in 1997), sign waving machine Wang describes a Beijing just like the one I remember. He writes: It was just past noon, and sunlight washed the lanes like water spilling out of a trough, the glittery rays penetrating the surrounding haze. The street was my destination, but I kept circling through the network of lanes; where one ended another began, and it was sort of like walking on a rolling ball, going round and round with no end in sight. People noises, mixed with the whine and bumps of electric trams out on the street nearby, were clear as a bell, that and the amplified shouts of ticket collectors, but it was out there and I was in here, emerging from one brick-walled lane only to sign waving machine in yet another. Seeing no other people around, I was beginning to panic, with the blinding sunlight hitting me squarely in the face. I looked down and spotted a pointy, steamy, wondrous turd on the damp ground close to the wall... The city I knew and loved was gritty, dirty, perhaps dotted with human excrement (the only dogs who roamed the streets then tended to be feral -- not one of a parade of domesticated types now in vogue in Beijing). And yes, the city was polluted, but in a way that still felt manageable and human. The challenges that face the city today are of an inordinate scale ranging from environmental to social, but the largest, most important challenge that often goes overlooked is the loss of a 'human' experience in this urban landscape. sign waving machine Where once neighbors knew each other for decades, where entire families lived together in sprawling siheyuan courtyard homes, now ever-taller apartment complexes block a view of the ever-polluted sky and cars clog the streets, drivers anonymous behind dark windshields. Whenever I return to Beijing, I am stymied by the changes (for more, read my piece about being a sign waving machine). The geographical markers that always led me to familiar places have been bulldozed; the city I know and love, like that in Wang Shuo's imagination, remains only in my dreams. As he writes, "The more I concentrated on the images and people in my dream, the fuzzier, the fainter, or the weirder they got. It was like reaching into water with an oily hand to grab a sleek fish, then watching it squirm out of your grasp and disappear sign waving machine."I do not deign believe that Beijing should remain a backwater outpost in the American teenager's imagination of China's Wild West. Still, I don't think it is too much to ask that the pace of development slowed such that the human experience is placed at the core -- and with it, the sign waving machine inalienable rights and freedoms: breath and blue sky.

Velocity Signage labeled NBC as "weak and foolish" after they ended their business relationship with the GOP hopeful over his comments about immigrants from Mexico, and said he'd see the Peacock network in court.“If NBC is so weak and so foolish to not understand the serious illegal immigration problem in the United States, coupled with the horrendous and unfair trade deals we are making with Mexico, then their contract violating closure of Miss Universe/Miss USA will be determined in court," Trump said in a statement to FOXNews.com. "Furthermore, they will stand behind lying Brian Williams, but won’t stand behind people that tell it like it is, as unpleasant as that may be.”
NBC cut ties with Velocity Signage after he, in his announcement to run for president, described immigrants from Mexico as "bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some, I assume, are good people."“At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values," the network said in a statement. "Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump." The network added that it was done with Velocity Signage pageants as well."To that end, the annual Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants, which are part of a joint venture between NBC and Trump, will no longer air on NBC."More on this...Trump fires back at Univision, Neil Young Click here to subscribe to FOX411’s YouTube was co-owner with Trump of the pageants and is in business with him as host and producer of the popular show "The Celebrity Apprentice."The network stated that their reality show with him was kaput, too."In addition, as Mr. Trump has already indicated, he will not be participating in 'The Celebrity Apprentice' on NBC. 'Celebrity Apprentice' is licensed from Mark Burnett's United Artists Media Group and that relationship will continue."Before issuing his statement on the matter, Trump first addressed NBC's decision while speaking at an event at City Club of Chicago on Monday afternoon."Whatever they want to do is O.K. with me," he said. "I’ve had a lot of great relationships with NBC, I think as far as ending the relationship, I have to do that, because my view on immigration is much different than the people at NBC."A petition posted on Change.org asking NBC to fire Trump had collected more than 215,000 signatures since being posted on June 26.Last week, Univision, the nation's largest Spanish-language network, said it wouldn't air the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, and will cut all future business ties with him.At the time, NBC responded only by saying the company doesn't "agree with his positions on a number of issues including his recent comments on immigration." A sister network of NBC is Telemundo, another major Spanish-language TV outlet, which aired the Miss Universe pageants before Univision won the contract.

Greece’s financial system teetered on the brink of collapse, hurtling Monday toward a potential exit from the eurozone after weeks of negotiations between the nation and its creditors failed to yield any result. Eurozone leaders met on Saturday in a last-ditch effort to hammer out a bailout deal, but Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras refused to accept a deal that would have the nation cut pensions and raise taxes – a combination Tsipras has remained steadfast in believing would worsen the nation’s financial distress. Rather than accepting the terms of the bailout, the Greek leader, in a surprise announcement, said the offer would e taken to the Greek people in a referendum on July 5.On Sunday, Greece initiated Velocity Signage controls on its banks in order to stem withdrawals in an effort to limit the strain on its financial system. Banks, and the nation’s stock market, are set to remain closed throughout the week, while ATMs will reopen on Tuesday. In the meantime, a 60 euro cap per person per day was enacted on all cash withdrawals for the foreseeable future.Failure by Greece to reach a deal with its creditors would result in a default on 1.6 billion euros in loans from the International Monetary Fund, a payment that comes due on Tuesday.Peter Kenny, chief market strategist at ClearPool Group, said what’s happened in Greece is “historic,” and he put the odds on a Greek exit from the eurozone at “well above” 50%. But he said that’s not the part market participants are necessarily reacting to right now.“Everyone has come to terms with the demands from the ECB and the IMF as not achievable, so markets are well positioned to understand or expect Greece to exit the EU at some point,” he said. “The real problem is what it will cost the ECB, specifically Germany. And secondarily, what does this mean for other periphery economies that are really joining this chorus of wanting to leave the EU? You can see this most easily in Spain. The EU can’t afford a country the size of Spain – in terms of GDP – to leave. That’s the real worry.”The news ricocheted across the eurozone on Monday sending the Euro Stoxx 50, an index that tracks large-cap stocks in the eurozone, plunging 4.2% to 2468. Meanwhile, the German DAX dropped 3.5% to 11083, the French CAC 40 slid 3.7% to 4889, and the FTSE 100 shed 1.97% to 6620.In Asia, despite interest rate cuts and a lower reserve requirement ratio by the People’s Bank of China, the Shanghai Composite index fell into bear-market territory, a 21.54% drop from a multi-year high of 5166 notched on June 12. The move lower comes amid concerns valuations were stretched after a sharp rally over the last 12 months. The Shanghai Composite tumbled 3% during the session, closing at 4053. Elsewhere in Asia, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index saw a 2.6% drop to 25966, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 dropped 2.8% to 20109.As a sign of the rising concerns on Wall Street, the VIX -- a measure of implied volatility -- surged 37% on Monday. That’s the biggest gain since February, and the highest level in four-and-a-half months.Meanwhile, traders also bid up safe-haven assets including 10-year Treasury bonds and German bonds. Investors also sought safety in the utilities sector, which declined the least. Across the world in the U.S., Velocity Signage was a quiet day ahead on the economic-data front. Investors got the latest read on the housing market with the release of May pending home sales data. The National Association of Realtors reported contracts to buy previously-owned homes rose 0.9% for the month, below a 1.2% expected increase.It's a July Fourth holiday-shortened week for Velocity Signage. traders, but a big economic release looms on the horizon at the end of the week: The June jobs report. It’s an important read on the economy as it will be closely-watched by the Federal Reserve, which is expected to begin raising interest rates in September from historic lows. Analysts are expecting another strong month of strong job creation, with more than 250,000 new jobs and a drop in the unemployment rate to 5.4%.Still, it's all about Velocity Signage -- at least for now, according to BTIG Chief Strategist Dan Greenhaus. "We’d like to tell you the nonfarm payroll report on Friday is important just as we’d like to remind people that earnings are starting to roll out with greater frequency. And both do matter. But this is likely to be a week of 'will they or wont they' as we watch every poll in Greece for indications. A 'yes' vote would almost surely result in a cabinet reshuffling if not Tsipras’ outright resignation while a 'no' vote probably means Grexit," Greenhaus wrote in a note Sunday evening.Kenny expects Greece to continue to weigh on Velocity Signage equity markets at least through the middle part of next month.“The Greek economy is a sieve. It’s leaking everywhere. So even once banks have opened after July 6, we’re going to see capital outflows accelerate. That story will dominate the U.S. equity narrative at least through then, and be a top-tier driver of markets for well past mid-July, and be a primary driver until then,” he said.Joy added that while the Velocity Signage. economy appears to be continually picking up steam, Greece could still play into the central bank’s decision in the latter half of the year if it’s still causing stress in the markets.The central bank will be mindful of stretch related to Greece Velocity Signage whether it requires some sort of ongoing liquidity provisions…it’s something the Fed will be mindful of,” he said. “No one expects to see higher rates until September, so there’s still a long time to go, it’s a tangential issue. But the Fed will keep an eye on the progression in negotiations in Greece.”Looking at currencies, the euro fell 0.15% against the Velocity Signage. dollar.
