---- — Complete with an infinite list of notable improvements, this stunning Beverly offering is so much more than its categorization of "center-entrance Colonial" suggests. While all of the likely components of the style are there, the unexpected is the wide-open fluidity of its floor plan. Pair that with updates such as new lighting, fresh paint, a remodeled kitchen and refurbished baths, and you have a home that quite simply has it all.
"This is, in no way, your typical eight-room, four-bedroom home," says listing agent Pam Spiros of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. "This whole house is very spacious with sun-drenched light thanks to the innovative use of exceptionally large windows in every room. When the original owners built the house, their mission was to ensure it had loads of light. They most definitely accomplished that."
Gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, while thoughtful recessed lighting serves to enhance an already luminous home. Gracious spaces include a front-to-back living room with brick-faced fireplace and a formal dining room boasting wainscoting and detailed moldings. A family room, with multi-paned windows, glass sliders and a toasty gas stove, meets up effortlessly with the kitchen. Here, find bright white cabinetry with Corian countertops and a sea glass backsplash, stainless-steel appliances and a breakfast bar with ample seating for two.
"This is a fabulous home for entertaining because every room is easily accessible to the dining areas," Spiros says. "It is a true 'earshot,' from one end of the house to the other."
Four bedrooms upstairs boast plush wall-to-wall carpeting, interesting cathedral-like ceilings and generous closet space. The astonishing 21-by-15-square-foot master is "to die for," according to the Realtor, thanks in part to a walk-in closet with custom shelving and a renovated en-suite bath with double vanity, granite counters and a heated floor. A second ceramic bath shares this level.
Providing additional recreational space is a finished lower level, currently used as a game room. Additional amenities here include a two-car garage under with adjacent mudroom, a convenient first-floor laundry with half-bath and an awning-covered deck overlooking a flat yard, beautified by perennial gardens.
Newly listed for $579,900, a property of this caliber will not remain on the market for long, Spiros believes.
"The Centerville location is very desirable because it is appealingly residential, yet it is close all major highways. This is a really stunning property that is extremely energy-efficient, something that everyone is very conscious of today."
This home is shown by appointment only. For more information or to schedule a private viewing, call Pam Spiros at 978-808-6022.

The Duncan Banner
February 13, 2013
Bob C. Roden
July 5, 1930 — Feb. 10, 2013
The Duncan Banner
Claremore —
Bob Roden loved his family, fancy boots, cowboy hats, rodeo, good horses, flashy cars and his trademark cigar.
A resident of Claremore more than half his life as a banker and community contributor, he died Sunday, Feb. 10, 2013 at the age of 82 after a long illness.
Memorial service will be 3 p.m. Friday in the Musgrove-Merriott-Smith Funeral Service Chapel. The family suggests memorial contributions to Will Rogers Memorial Foundation to help support a place close to his heart and honoring his friendship with the Rogers' family. Donations may be sent to Will Rogers Memorial Foundation, P.O. Box 2606, Claremore, OK 74018.
Surviving Roden are his wife, Mary Lee; son, Rodne and Joyce of Claremore; grandchildren, Rodne II (Boots) and Julie of Kingston, and Kassie Sallis and Jaylee of Muskogee; and great-grandchildren, Rodrick Ryder Roden of Kingston and Samantha Brackett of Muskogee.
Bobby Carl Roden was born July 5, 1930 in Waurika and graduated from Duncan High School. He and Mary Lee Jinks were married March 11, 1955 in Rush Springs, where they made this home and he worked as a car dealer.
They moved to Marlow, where he started his banking career as a loan officer. He came to Claremore in 1966, to work for First National Bank as a loan officer.
Roden, Jack Marshall and John Carle purchased the bank, which became First Bank. Roden was president until it was sold to Bank of Oklahoma and he was named chairman of the board of the Claremore branch.
Roden was involved in other business interests, including the Men's Shop in Ne-Mar Center and Mercedes Boot Company and T.O. Stanley Boot Company in El Paso, Texas.
His life was devoted to contributions to leadership in virtually every aspect of the Claremore business, community and fund-raising efforts. He was Claremore Chamber of Commerce board chairman and honored in 1968 as Claremore Citizen of the Year. He was a Will Rogers Roundup Club member and served as rodeo chairman. He was involved in the Work Training Center and Rotary Club and was a 32nd Degree Mason, McAlester Lodge, and a Shriner.

Former Bisons shortstop and longtime major leaguer Jay Bell was named the new batting coach for the Pirates today by manager Clint Hurdle.
Bell, 46, played eight of his 18 MLB seasons with the Pirates (1989-1996). He scored the winning run for Arizona in Game Seven of the 2001 World Series against the Yankees. See his career stats here, for both the majors and the minors.
Bell was an up-and-coming prospect in the Cleveland chain when he played 110 games for the Bisons as a 21-year-old in 1987, the final year at War Memorial Stadium. He batted .260 with 17 homers and 60 RBIs but also made 30 errors that year. That's his 1988 Topps card to the right.
He returned to Buffalo in 1989, the second year of then-Pilot Field, and batted .285 with 10 homers and 54 RBIs in 86 games. Of note was his defensive improvement with the Herd, making 16 errors and improving his fielding percentage from .945 to .967 before getting the call to Pittsburgh for keeps.
Bell was the starting shortstop for all three of the Pirates' NL East division championship teams (1990-92), and also played for the Royals, Diamondbacks and Mets in a career that lasted until 2003.
By my count, and with an able assist by Bisons PR director Brad Bisbing, Bell makes 29 MLB coaches for 2013 who either played or managed in Buffalo. Here is my current list of ex-Bisons connections:
Managers -- John Farrell (Boston), Eric Wedge (Seattle), Terry Collins (New York Mets), Bud Black (San Diego).
Bench coaches --- Tony Pena (New York Yankees), Torey Lovullo (Boston), Sandy Alomar Jr. (Clevelnad), Jeff Banister (Pittsburgh), Ron Wotus (San Francisco).
Batting coaches -- Lloyd McClendon (Detroit), Jeff Manto (Chicago White Sox), Steve Henderson (Philadelphia), Jay Bell (Pittsburgh).
Pitching coaches -- Carl Willis (Seattle), Dan Warthen (New York Mets), Steve McCatty (Washington), Charles Nagy (Arizona).
Third-base coaches -- Jeff Datz (Seattle), Tim Teufel (New York Mets), David Bell (Chicago Cubs).
First-base coach -- Dave Roberts (San Diego)
Bullpen coaches -- Steven Soliz (Los Angeles Angels), Jaime Navarro (Seattle), Ricky Bones (New York Mets), Reid Cornelius (Miami), Lee Tunnell (Milwaukee).
Infield coach -- Rafael Belliard (Detroit).
Role TBA -- Dave Clark (Houston).
Bullpen catcher -- Alex Andreopoulos (Toronto)

OPINION: Singularity Disputes, Turing Test Turmoil - An Interesting Discussion
Posted: Mon, June 30, 2014 | By: Singularity Utopia
by Singularity Utopia There is a lot of dispute regarding human level artificial intelligence. Some critics think it will never happen. They compare super-intelligent AI to religious belief. Publishing Singularity critical articles shortly before a narrow-AI passed the Turing Test was exceptionally bad timing for the critics. The test, held… Continue Reading

The Government is heading in the right direction on board pay, says ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants). Setting private sector board pay should remain a decision for companies themselves, but pay should always be balanced with shareholder value and company performance. Vince Cable's intervention comes at the right time, but it should be the first step in wider efforts to promote active shareholder engagement.
'Remuneration decisions are fundamentally a matter for companies to decide for themselves,' says John Davies, head of technical at ACCA. 'Decisions need to take into account the specific financial context in which a company operates, their goals, and their performance against targets. But, pay decisions need to be consistent with the best interests of the company and its shareholders, and in line with the stewardship and fiduciary responsibilities of the directors making the decisions on pay.
'Board pay in recent years seems to have lost touch with these guiding principles; the link between pay, performance, and shareholder value has become blurred in some cases. If it can be done with flexibility, giving the shareholders the right to approve company plans on pay would be a logical extension of their ownership role and could prove to be a positive force for pay discipline.'
Vince Cable's proposals can be a positive development, provided the legal detail is right, says ACCA. There needs to be clarity as to exactly what matters are subject to shareholder approval, boards and remuneration committees should retain the flexibility to pay market rates, and shareholder votes must be prospective in nature and should not seek to interfere with contractual agreements already entered into or payments already made.
'Vince Cable's proposals are certainly helpful and timely, but they should be the first step in wider efforts to promote effective shareholder engagement in the companies they own,' says John Davies. 'Shareholders already have a non-binding vote on board pay policy and practice, but remuneration reports generally pass unchallenged and member participation in company affairs is often low. It is clearly one thing to give shareholders powers, but another thing to get them to use those powers effectively.
'From here the Government needs to promote a responsible and long-term approach to corporate stewardship; the key to this is bringing about a fundamental improvement in levels of engagement on the part of shareholders. Increased transparency and a clearer presentation of information might help. This has already been set in train by the Financial Reporting Council via their Stewardship Code, and I hope the momentum of these reforms continues. We also need to consider the incentives that institutional investors have on board pay: do they properly represent the interests of those who are the ultimate owners of the shares in their hands?'

Not just one, you deserve more if you are a fashion conscious person! Changing trends have also changed the sense of using shoes. Earlier, when just a pair of shoes used to fulfill the necessities, now a collection of shoes meet the requirement of different occasions. Sports shoes are favoured during morning walks, running and workout sessions. Also, while heading on trekking or just casual hangouts with friends, they are picked by men. On the other hand, formal shoes are best to leave an impression during professional meets, formal parties and at every important occasion. They offer suave look, which is why they always get a place in the shoe rack of men. The increasing trends have also made available formal shoes in different designs and patterns.
They are no more boring instead you can find the trendiest piece in formals as well. Buy shoes that suit your style! And, step out of house by wearing those pair of shoes and see the eyeballs of people glued to you. It is most commonly said that whenever you meet a person, look at his shoes. The shoes of a person help in judging his personality. Neat and polished ones denote a gentleman.
Style is what we want from footwear but comfort is what our feet ask for to stay at ease. Be it slippers, floaters, sports shoes or any shoes, only style cannot compel to buy them. Sometimes, it is the comfort factor that lures one to get hands on a certain pair of shoes. Style without comfort is hardly of any mean. At Bagittoday, we present an amazing collection of footwear comprising Reebok, Lotto, Woodland, Puma, Converse, Nike, Bata & many more.. to keep your style

CLINTON -- Clysar LLC celebrated its 50th anniversary Saturday, with its top leadership in attendance.
Owner William C. Morris exclaimed he is very happy and excited for the future.
"There is a lot of work to do but changing the sign is the first positive step," Morris said.
Morris' company, Cove Point Holdings, bought Clysar last month and since has had a lot of activity at the Clinton plant. Executive Vice President and General Manager Bill Hare said beginning stages of plant renovations have already begun.
"We want it to look more like a headquarters instead of just a plant," said Hare, adding that he hoped for a completed project within nine months.
In addition to plant renovations the company expects to add 15 new jobs to the administration department.
With the addition of jobs, Morris will be more involved with the company in the next few months.
"I'm sure I will be here every month. It's not just the company coming home to Iowa; we are all coming home to Iowa," Morris said.
The first step for the company is transitioning to a new administration department.
Clysar President Gene Lee said the company needs to move people from Oshkosh, Wis., to the Clinton area before the new department can take hold.
"We have to set up an entirely new financial department before we do anything else," Lee said.
As the company transitions, Morris and Lee expect to be important factors to the future of the company.
"I'm the new boy on the block so I'm learning a lot," Morris said. "I have a group of very competent and diligent people working with me so I expect to be very pleased with the future."

Canopies will be good for safety
As a concerned physical education teacher and coach at Woodrow Wilson Middle School, I am extremely excited about the plans at our school to build a new canopy outside our gym doors.
This proposal was put forth by Matt Won Piker and his Majeur Won design agency. This plan is a step forward in the safety and well being of all of our students during future school years. This new canopy will help all students avoid inclement weather whenever it pops up.
The inclement weather issue is something that we deal with many times a year. At the current time, students stay in the building during this inclement weather and often times attempt to run to their rides when they see them pull into the parking lot from inside the school doors. They do this in an attempt to avoid any bad weather that they can for as short of a time as they can.
When this canopy is completed, the students will be able to stay inside until their parent arrives and then walk under this wonderful structure all the way to their waiting automobiles. This will be especially helpful during morning drop off and after athletic practice times that can become very hectic.
I appreciate the support of the Vigo County Education Foundation as well as the approval of the Vigo County School Corp. school board in once again putting student safety first. All 13 proposed structures are needed, but I am very excited about the one proposed to be done this year at my school.

Appreciation to city for services
Thanks, Mayor Bennett, for having the Neighborhood Summit Meetings around the city. Also, thanks to all the others, such as Police Chief John Plasse, the city inspector, the street department supervisor Orville Willard, as well as his assistant.
His assistant was great to come down to see what could be done about the tree over the sidewalk and coordinating clean-up so people could walk without getting in the street.
Most of all, thanks to our sixth district councilman, John Mullican, for getting the church, trees and lights taken care of for us. You have been great in helping when we ask.
Thanks to all the city administration.

The Port Arthur News
Can't think of a coach who has ever been more deserving of a two-year contract extension than Lamar State College-Port Arthur's Lance Madison. Though he was the school's second choice to replace Matt Cross after first-choice Chris Beard backed out, the job Madison did in an extremely challenging situation was remarkable. To go 20-10 and gain a berth in the NJCAA Region XIV tournament when basically starting from scratch, and having to overcome not being hired until early May, says a lot about Madison as both a coach and a recruiter. By the end of the season, I'm not so sure the Seahawks weren't better than Pat Knight's Lamar University team. With the return of 7-1 Anthony Allen and 6-6 Jamaal Shabazz, the nation's leading shot blocker and the conference's leading rebounder, respectively, the immediate future looks bright . . . As most basketball fans are probably aware, the NCAA Final Four will be played at JerryWorld next April. For those who don't mind being ripped off, the application process for tickets is open until May 31. Go to www.NCAA.com/mbbtickets, follow the prompts and have your credit card in hand. A book of tickets for the Saturday, April 5 semifinals and Monday, April 7 finals is priced at $190 and a $20 application fee is tacked on. Applicants are allowed to request up to four ticket books, then a random selection process determines who gets the tickets. Those who are selected will be advised no later than September. Those whose names aren't pulled out will get their ticket money refunded, but not the $20 application fee.
Grumbling from the masses about cable providers not being able to make a deal to show Astros, Rockets and Dynamo telecasts has reached the point where Houston mayor Annise Parker is trying to act as mediator. Parker has written letters requesting a meeting between Comcast Houston and several cable providers not willing to accept Comcast's asking price. It's a good political move on Parker's part, especially her public stance about taxpayers paying for stadiums the teams play in, but the bottom line is that nothing's going to happen until Astros owner Jim Crane is guaranteed a dollar figure that will keep him in the same TV revenue ballpark with the Angels and Texas Rangers . . . For Southeast Texans, not being able to watch the Astros this year isn't as big a loss as missing out on a remarkable turnaround for the Rockets. A month before the season, Kevin McHale's team was regarded as a threat to the Charlotte Bobcats as the NBA's worst. Instead, thanks to deals that brought in scoring machine James Harden (25.9 ppg), the league's No. 3 rebounder Omer Asik (11.7) and point guard Jeremy Lin (13.2 ppg, 6.1 apg), the Rockets are headed to the playoffs for the first time in three years. They are not only the NBA's youngest team, but among its most fun teams to watch for those who actually get to see them. Among other things, they are No. 1 in scoring average at 105.9. GM Daryl Morey would seem to be a lock as NBA Executive of the Year.
You never say never with Lincoln ex Stephen Jackson but, after the way he was cut by the San Antonio Spurs Friday, it will be surprising if he gets another shot in the NBA. When you're 34, carry the baggage Jackson does, are being paid $10 million in the final year of a contract and get released a week before the start of the playoffs, it's going to raise red flags. Especially since Jackson gave San Antonio a versatile, talented weapon off the bench and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich appeared to be somebody who really understood him for who he is . . . For those who may have missed it, former Astro manager Grady Hatton, who grew up in Beaumont, passed away Thursday at age 90. I got to know Grady very well because I landed my first sportswriting job in Beaumont the same year (1966) he was named manager of the Astros. For a young sports writer a little intimidated by dealing with big leaguers, he went out of his way to help me and I've never forgotten him for it. I always told him there was great irony in us crossing paths because as a kid growing up in Missouri my first really good baseball glove was a Grady Hatton model. Rest in piece, my friend . . . With talks continuing about what Harris County is going to do with the decaying Astrodome, one of the studies on eliminating it led to this mind-boggling fact. If the Dome is demolished, the end result would be a massive 30-foot deep hole in the ground that would take nine months and $11. 7 million to fill.
Tiger Woods should have no doubt about how certain players and media members feel about him in the wake of Saturday's mushrooming flap over whether he needed to withdraw from the Masters. Woods accepted a two-stroke penalty imposed by the tournament committee for an improper drop and prepared for the third round, as he should have. Anyone who bothered to read everything that went into the decision, including application of a new rule handed down in 2011, would have been satisfied. But because Woods is an easy and inviting target, the likes of the Golf Channel's Brandel Chamblee, CBS' Nick Faldo and former world No. 1 David Duval couldn't resist taking shots. Chamblee was practically foaming at the mouth, ranting that Woods was diminishing the game of golf and his own legacy by not withdrawing. Thankfully, there were voices of reason like Fred Couples, Graeme McDowell and Hunter Mahan, who applauded how things were handled . . . Much will continue to be made during the 2013 season about the Astros lack of talent, and their bottom-of-the barrel payroll. But, as was proven with Bud Norris' masterpiece in a 5-0 shutout victory against the Angels Friday night, quality pitching often nullifies big bucks. The Angels two highest-paid hitters — Josh Hamilton ($17.4 million) and Albert Pujols ($16 million) — combine to make $10 million more than the Astros' entire 25-man roster. The Angels team payroll, meanwhile, is $141.9 million. Against Norris, however, all the dollar signs literally meant nothing. The Astros are going to continue to have more downs than ups for at least a couple of years, but as we've seen during a three-game winning streak there are going to be bursts of competitiveness.
Had Michigan defeated Louisville in the NCAA championship game, something pretty remarkable would have happened. Out of 8.15 million brackets filed in ESPN's Tournament Challenge, the sole winner would have been 10-year-old Brayden Schager from the Dallas suburb of Highland Park. If this makes anybody whose bracket was demolished feel better, Schager did admit to the Dallas Morning News he was just guessing on some of his picks. After Michigan lost, Schager fell into the 99.5 percentile. Among the millions he beat was President Obama, who finished in the 74.5 percentile . . . With all the hype that goes on about blue chip recruits and the impact they make on elite programs, it was interesting to note that only one member in the top 10 of the Rivals.com Class of 2012 — Arizona's Kaleb Tarczewski — played for a team that won a game in the NCAA tournament. Three of the top 10 — Kentucky's Nerlens Noel and Alex Pythress and Baylor's Isaiah Austin — couldn't even help their teams reach the NCAA . . . Think NFL management isn't worried big time about the concussion lawsuits and other litigation it faces? In addition to paying $42 million recently to a group of retired players over improper use of their images for commercial gain, the league stepped up the amount it pays in federal lobbying some 500 percent 2012 to $1.14 million.

The Tennessee Department of Health Office of Minority Health is dedicated to eliminating health disparities among all segments of the population. It partners with many organizations to create a network of resources beneficial to minority populations.Grant Project Information
Tennessee Institute for Healthy Communities
Lesia Walker
(615) 741-9443
This State Partnership project aims to improve minority representation in the health professions, ensure cultural competency among providers and improve data collection methods. Tennessee has a diverse citizenry that is disproportionately affected by morbidity and mortality associated with chronic diseases. The largest health disparities exist among African Americans, Hispanics and the medically underserved. To address these issues, the project will produce an updated report on the burden of infant mortality, and also a report on the burden of childhood obesity among minority populations. The project will also maintain at least two internships yearly to encourage minority representation in the health professions and maintain a Speakers Bureau as a venue for statewide advocates and professions to speak to audiences on behalf the Tennessee Institute for Healthy Communizes (IHC). Finally, the project will maintain a Social Action Training School designed to support the development of community-based leaders who will be knowledgeable on issues such as cultural competence and workforce diversity. The intended outcomes include creating a diverse public health workforce, increasing knowledge and awareness about minority health, and improving capacity of community and faith-based organizations, public health professionals and individuals to address health disparities collaboratively. In order to determine if such outcomes are reached, quantitative and qualitative methods will be used to collect and analyze data, and the data sources including meeting minutes, training agenda and monthly progress report.

---- — OTTUMWA — Would you like to walk across U.S. Highway 34 West at its intersection with Quincy Avenue?
The Wapello County Trails group believes a lot of people would, and that's why they're hoping the upcoming Wapello County Trails Mediathon will bring in a lot of donations.
The mediathon will be May 17-18.
Kim Hellige, president of the Wapello County Trails Council, says that the group has often discussed pedestrian walkways that would help citizens cross the highway safely.
City leaders are working on the Market Street Bridge and are looking for funding to redo the bridge's deck. Hellige said Joe Helfenberger, the city's administrator, had attended a recent trails meeting and mentioned the city budget wasn't going to include a widened walkway.
Helfenberger decided to seek help from the Trails Council, and then the city and the trails council could team up and talk to Legacy Foundation representatives.
"The city could make the request to Legacy Foundation for the Trails Council, but as an entity, the Trails Council couldn't do it alone," Hellige said.
As an entity, the Trails Council can't be the applicant for the project, and usually the city is the one asking for the funding. Hellige said it's not unusual in trail work for the group to contribute money when needed.
On Thursday, Helfenberger said the city will probably go with Option 3 in the city's presentation about the Market Street Bridge Project. That option will include a decorative sidewalk rail for $160,000; decorative concrete barrier rail, $228,800; decorative square steel handrail, $112,320; and decorative street lights, $88,000.
The total cost of aesthetic features is $580,000, according to Helfenberger.
Hellige said the Market Street bridge will provide an important connection for the north and south sides.
"We feel an 8-foot walkway is essential for the trails system," Hellige said. "The Market Street bridge is a loop across the Des Moines River, so our efforts do support that."
The city plans to do the bridge project in 2014, and the Wapello County Trails Council's contribution is contingent on the 8-foot walkway.
Helfenberger said he's working with the Trails and the Legacy Foundation to make sure the bridge has the "highest aesthetics" and is cost efficient. He noted Wapello County Trails will contribute $40,000 and the Legacy Foundation $350,000.
"We were very successful with grant funding for basic construction," he said. "We'll also have $2.5 million from the state and $700,000 from the city's Capital Improvements fund. We're blessed to have various group who work together."
During the upcoming Trails Mediathon, there will be a Trails Walkathon, Hellige said. The event will be from 10-11:30 a.m. May 18.
"We hope thousands of people will be on the bridge at one time," she said. "We're working with the city to get a permit to do that."
Hellige also noted the Trails Council is actively seeking funds for the underpass, which would be a safe way to cross the highway. Quincy Avenue has no sidewalks but does have lots of traffic.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — A resident living in the 2700 block of Forest Avenue made a gruesome discovery early Thursday.
In the alley behind the block between Forest and Woodlawn avenues, she found a dead, skinned animal that had been wrapped in a plastic bag and stuffed inside a carboard box.
"It looked like a dead dog that had been skinned," said Melanie Ashker, a resident of the neighborhood who noticed the box while driving in the area Thursday morning. "It looked like somebody cut its ears off. It was just unbelievable."
Ashker said she reported the finding of the remains to police almost immediately.
Falls police Captain John DeMarco confirmed the report, but said upon further investigation officers determined that the body was not that of a dead dog, but rather that of a dead fox.
As a result, DeMarco said the matter is being turned over to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for further investigation.
"According to the officer, yes, it was skinned," DeMarco said. "Where it was (skinned), we have no idea."
The report filed by police indicates that the animal carcass was found in the alley by several school children. According to the report, upon arrival the officer found what appeared to be the carcass of a fox in the alley at the rear of 2760 Forest Ave. The officer indicated that the carcass had been "totally skinned" but had features resembling a fox, including paws smaller than a dog. The officer reported that the carcass was partially covered by a white, plastic garbage bag and appeared to have been placed near the alley for trash collection.
The officer was advised by police radio that the city's Department of Public Works would respond to remove the carcass.

Globe Theater
744 S. Broadway,
Los Angeles,
19 people favorited this theater
Opened in 1913 by Oliver Morosco, this theater was conceived not as a vaudeville house or nickelodeon, but as a elegant dramatic play house, which, among other special touches, included special rows of seats that accomodated portly patrons who weighed more than 200 pounds.
Morosco also filled the orchestra pit with foliage rather than rather than having patrons yell over loud intermission music, which Morosco deemed an intrusion.
During the Depression, newsreels took over, lasting throughout WWII. In 1958, a Mexican wax museum opened in the basement to abet the Spanish-language programming upstairs. In 1987, concrete was used to level the floor from the lobby to the stage, so that a permanent indoor swap meet could supplant what had once been the first serious playhouse in Los Angeles.
The former theater currently houses a nightclub.

In 1955, as a young boy, I came with my grandmother from a small town in Orange County into downtown Los Angeles. The city was unlike any place I had seen before; it was very exciting. We went to the Globe and that was a new experience for me too. I had never been in a place so large. I couldn't wait for the movie to start. Then the lights went down and the film started. The first thing I heard was "One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock, five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock…" I had seen movies and I knew you didn't hear rock and roll blasting from the movie screen like that. It didn't happen. But in the first moment of "Blackboard Jungle" it did, and I'll never forget that moment. I don't remember what my grandmother's reaction was but I thought it was wonderful. It was my first great movie experience in a great old theatre. Unfortunately, once you grow up, your experiences don't have that same intense impact as when you were a kid. It's never the same and it's too bad.
My uncle was the projectionist at the Globe theater in the 50's and 60's. He also managed the building. I would visit in the summer and would go with him to work and spend the day watching the new films over and over. I would watch him change reels and light the carbon arc projectors. He once took me with him through the inner workings of the theater. I saw the wall of dressing rooms which went up what seemed like five stories with a moving staircase to access them.
There were giant fans which were part of the air conditioning system and the back stage are with all the rigging and scenery.
It was an amazing experience for a 10 year old boy

While I love the restoration they did on the "GLOBE" letters and the globe itself, are they ever going to do anything with the rest of the marquee? Besides all the missing neon, the flimsy 740 banner looks awfully temporary for a club that's been there five years already.
Three construction photos of the Morosco Theatre appeared in a portfolio of projects designed by Morgan, Walls & Morgan, published in the January, 1921, issue of the west coast trade journal The Architect and Engineer.
I was just watching the movie PEEPER with Natalie Wood and Michael Caine, and the Globe Theater (exterior and interior) appears in the movie. Also, the Tower Theater marquis appears in the exterior scene on Broadway.
Looks like the Globe was a lush and luxurious theater back in 1975 when PEEPER was filmed.
just call what WAS my contact @ the Globe/Morosco Theatre/Club 740 to find out that they no longer work there and that 2 months ago the owner sold the place to someone! No idea to whom yet but I will look into the public records for that.
Important Q's is what will become of the theatre?
The theater is barely visible at right in this photo, from about 1937, but worth posting as photos with the name President Theatre on the marquee are rarely seen.
The singing group The Wanted filmed their video for the song Show me Love in the Globe.
Here is a link with pictures that show the interior of the Globe as used for a nightclub.

In less than two hours, the three-day negotiation window for unrestricted free agents will begin.
Representatives for players with expiring contracts and more than three years of accrued service are permitted to speak with the other 31 teams. The top Buffalo Bills players who are in this category include left guard Andy Levitre, cornerback Leodis McKelvin and defensive end Kyle Moore.
The following explanation was distributed by the NFL to help people understand this new wrinkle to the process:
Beginning at 12 midnight and ending at 3:59:59 p.m. (all times Eastern) Tuesday, clubs are permitted to contact, and enter into negotiations with the certified agents of players who will become unrestricted free agents upon the expiration of their 2012 player contracts at 4 p.m. Tuesday. However, a contract cannot be executed with a new club until 4 p.m. Tuesday.
During this negotiation period, a prospective unrestricted free agent cannot visit a club (other than the player's current club) at its permanent facility or at any other location, and no direct contact is permitted between the player and any employee or representative of a club (other than the player's current club). If a player is self-represented, clubs are prohibited from discussions with the player during the negotiating period.
Clubs (other than the player's current club) may not discuss or make any travel arrangements with prospective unrestricted free-agent players, their certified agents or anyone else associated with the player until the expiration of those players' 2012 player contracts at 4 p.m. Tuesday.
The three-day negotiating period applies only to potential unrestricted free agents. It does not apply to players who are potential exclusive-rights players or restricted free agents or to players who have been designated as franchise players or transition players.

Take care.
Yes, you can eat whatever and bolus for it but, I wouldn't encourage this too often. Maybe for special occasions.
No, because eating whatever she wants will not only cause weight gain but, with weight gain also increases the need for insulin and then it's becomes a visous cycle. This can also result in her becoming insulin resistant.
It's better to eat small amounts of healthy foods and eat more often then to eat large amounts of food. This will help her to keep her energy level up and it also helps prevent spikes in bgs.
This is what I use but, it depends on a persons size and age.....No more than 45 carbs per meal and 15 carbs per snack.
Have you checked how many carbs are in a donut? When people ask me if I can eat a donut I tell them sure I can. BUT, I'm allowed no more than 45 carbs per meal and I would rather eat a healthy meal that will hold me up and satisfy me than eat "ONE" donut. See where I'm going with this.
By the way, you can always rely on what MrsCora tells you!!!! She even has her own 1-800-ASKCORA phone line!!! LOL
The same goes for T1 diabetics as non-diabetics that we should be eating healthy properly portioned meals throught out the door. I am a 33 yr old t1 diabectic. I am not quite as young as your daughter but young enough stil want some flexability in what and when I eat. I recommend that your daughter visit with a dieatian to develop a meal plan and perfect the art of counting carbs. I hope that this helps.
When/if a type-1 also becomes insulin resistant they are sometimes called DOUBLE DIABETICS. That can make their diabetes even harder to control, NOT GOOD.
Isn't being (single type) diabetic enough?
Gomer (calling 1-800ASKCORA......lol)
My 13 year old son was diagnosed almost a year ago and he went through that same phase - where he typically didn't need to take insulin at lunch, so he tried to talk us into letting him eat fewer carbs and skip snacks to avoid taking shots at other meals as well. It didn't take him long to figure out that he was getting really sick of eating meat, cheese, and salad....and when he would eat balanced meals and take his shots he just felt better. So, give her time, but encourage her to eat the number of carbs her dietician recommends. You do need to count the carbs in veggies like corn, beans, peas, potatos etc.. because they are starchy foods and starch is a carb. One of the best pieces of advice we got early on is to get "The Calorie King" book. It has carb information in there for everything you can think of....including major fast food places, etc.. It makes counting a lot easier and eating out a lot less scary. After he was diagnosed, we also made a point to keep eating the same meals that we have always had at home. It was enough for him to deal with the needles & insulin - we tried to keep everything else as normal as possible. He loves rice, so we continued to eat rice (just in smaller portions). He loves fruit roll-ups, so we made sure to include a fruit roll-up in our dinner plan.
The other thing you need to keep in mind is that during honeymoon period, her pancreas is still producting some insulin....but once the honeymoon is over, the amount of insulin she needs is going to increase. At Ben's last dr. appt in May, they were speculating that his honeymoon period is almost over...and we've been noticing a need for more and more insulin even with him eating the same number of carbs each meal as when he was diagnosed a year ago.
Ben also struggled with sticking his fingers for the longest time...he would bring himself to tears when he had to poke his finger - so we let him use his arms and other places to test until he could work up the courage on his own...and now he uses his fingers almost exclusively. It was the same with the bedtime shots in the beginning, too....it would sometimes take us 20-30 mintues to give him his bedtime shot because he said it hurt....so we would just talk until he calmed down and then we gave him his shot. Now he gives his shot to himself at night.
I think some of the lessons he has learned the hard way is that "yes" you can skimp on the carbs, but a needle stick feels much better than a crash. A balanced diet makes him feel better...and there is nothing he can't do because he's diabetic. We constantly tell him how proud we are of him for being responsible and we reward him when he takes responsibility for managing things himself - like remembing to pack his snacks and taking his own bedtime shot. He needed lots of hugs and encouragement in the beginning, but now he's accepted things as the are and he'd be motified if I huged him! ;o)
He was at boy scout camp a couple of weeks ago - without us. Scary for us - but great experience and sense of independance for him. He had no trouble at all...and his sugars were perfect all week long and no crashes. The first year is really, really tough on the whole family...but hang in there, it does get better.
This is SOOOOO not true. Just because one does not produce insulin does not mean they can not become insulin resistant. Insulin resistance is how your body handles insulin wether it be natural or injected.
I am an example of a type 1 diabetic that does have insulin resistance. I do not produce insulin at all but I do take Metformin to help my body utlize the insulin that is introduced into my body. I am what you call.. or rather I am diagnosed "double diabetic".
Now as for the stepdaughter and the A1C being a 10. That is terrible and her health can be at risk. Her father is correct that she can eat what she wants so long is she takes the PROPER dose of insulin. Evidently, she is not boulseing correct or her A1C would not be that high. An acceptable A1C for a diabaietic is a 7.0 and that is on the high side. One wants their A1C to be about 5.0 or so. Mine is usually about 5.6 unless I'm sick and my bg runs high. You are correct in being concerned.

After learning about HERS Breast Cancer Foundation (HBCF) and its mission to support all women healing from breast cancer by providing post-surgical products and services regardless of financial status, it didn't take long for Jesse Frechione and I to make the decision to dedicate the next four months to ride from Alaska to South America on behalf of the foundation.
HBCF is a professional accredited foundation, established in 1998 by a team of empowering women and we are excited to embark on this journey.
In February 2011, my mother underwent a lumpectomy for breast cancer, which was discovered only after an accident bruised her breast and the area did not heal. After experiencing the challenges and triumph of breast cancer beside my mother, I was truly inspired to do something to bring greater awareness and education about breast cancer.
Ever since I viewed the documentary The Motorcycle Diaries, I was always ambitious to take an extraordinary journey through South America. Since I recently graduated with a Civil Engineering degree and already accomplished playing professional hockey in Switzerland, I knew now was the best time to take advantage of being young and having the time to take the ride of lifetime. Along with my best friend since the age of twelve, Jesse Frechione, we hit the road spinning on Thursday, August 23rd at 4:30 a.m. AKT.
We packed up and officially departed our hometown of Anchorage, Alaska, equipped with the top-of-the-line gadgets, prepared for multiple climates, and armed with the necessary protective gear. As we pedal-on with hope and excitement, we are prepared for but not paying attention to the changes in weather, coming head-to-head with bears, or even finding a place to shower; rather we are looking forward to achieving one of life's amazing milestones, raise recognition and funds for HERS Breast Cancer Foundation, and truly make a difference in the world.
As we have officially exited Alaska and crossed into Canada, we are heading towards Washington State and plan to be in the Bay Area September 18th – 23rd. If anyone is interested in joining our journey anywhere along the way, our complete travel schedule includes: Alaska, Canada, Washington, Oregon, California, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and will wrap up the journey in Colombia; for a total of 6,689.7331 miles.
We welcome fellow cyclists to join us on the road, visit our Facebook or Twitter where we are posting continuous updates, and we are very grateful for any generous donations towards HERS Breast Cancer Foundation.

It all started with the Kingston Trio.
One day in 1963, a San Diego kid and his friends got their hands on an album by the popular folk group. Greg Deering, 12 at the time, recalls studying the musicians on the cover and thinking, "I've got to get a banjo" — not out of love for the twangy instrument but mainly because his pal already had a guitar.

This IS the club that started it all. I mean really started "wine to your door." The founding feature of the Original WINE OF THE MONTH CLUB™ is the Classic Series.
Each month I taste over 400 wines. Through trade tastings, winemaker visits, in-house tasting sessions, and many other venues, I select the two wines that will be featured for that's month's selections. Working in my father's wine shop in the 70's , I used to brown bag and set up the wines each Tuesday for tasting... and that is the tradition still... Tasting on Tuesday.
I qualify each wine for its representation of what it should be. In other words, a Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County should be distinctively different from that of the same grape and vintage from Argentina.
Each month you or your recipient will receive two vintages of wine (full 750ml bottles). One will be red and one will be white (unless you specify reds or whites only,) and one will be domestic and one will be imported. Each chosen for its quality and value. I can tell you that of the 400 wines I taste monthly, only 15% are approved for potential club selections and then only 1% make it as selections.
Because of our tenure in the industry and our good standing with wineries, we are sought out by smaller lesser known wineries to feature their wines. After all, you don't need me to find Robert Mondavi or Beringer wines!
Each shipment is accompanied by our famous Wine Letter; A 12-page newsletter packed with information for both the novice and experienced wine taster. It includes winery and winemaker history, recipes, cellaring suggestions, serving suggestions and wine anecdotes to share.
Come join me as we embark on a wonderful journey through the vineyards of California and the world, right in your own home. Many members save each month's selections for a monthly dinner with friends. Try it and you will be on your way.
These wines represent great value and are comparable to wines you might see at your local wine shop for $12.00-$15.00. Monthly subscriptions are never more than $19.98 per month for 2 bottles, plus shipping & applicable taxes.
As a member of Wine of the Month Club®, you will receive 2 intriguing wines each month. Your choice of: One RED and one WHITE —OR—2 bottles of the monthly RED wine selection—OR—2 bottles of the monthly WHITE wine selection
THE MONTHLY WINE LETTER tells the story behind your wine. You'll learn more about the appellation of the wine. Discover the story behind the grapes and what contributes to the wine's character and blend. The Wine Letter also includes mouth-watering recipes especially selected to match your monthly wine selection.

Samadhi Floatation Tank Home
Samadhi - The original manufacturer of the floatation tank, also known as flotation tank, sensory deprivation tank, float tank, and John Lilly tank used for meditation, visualization, rejuvenation, self observation, creativity, time travel, prayer, solitude, rest and relaxation since 1972.
Site Purposes
Sell the Samadhi floatation tank that we manufacture.
Provide information and answer your questions about floating.
"Over the last 25 years I have exhausted numerous
addictions and relationships in pursuit of the very sensation - or state of being
actually - that the floatation tank gave me in one hour. No drug-induced euphoria,
no sexual or romantic high, no nicotine or food fix, nor any spiritual venture
ever brought me as close to my desired destination as the float tank did. This
illusively defined 'destination' became much clearer to me after floating in the
tank. It's a truly remarkable and freeing experience.
Annie C
Floatation Tank Description
The float tank is a little larger around than a twin sized bed and chest high. It contains 10" of water to which so much epsom salts have been added, that when you get in and lie on your back, you are pushed to the surface so you float like a cork, weightless as an astronaut in space. There is a lightweight door that you can leave open, or if you want to get rid of the distractions of noise and light you can close the door.
Samadhi floatation tank seethru to show you how remarkably floating occurs in a saturated epsom salt solution
Samadhi Tank Co. began 1972...now
Samadhi Tank Co. was christened in 1972 by Dr. John Lilly, the scientist who invented the floatation / flotation tank.
There were no tanks produced commercially yet. Dr. Lilly provided the specifications along with his blessings and the company was formed as a corporation.
There is more at Floatation Tank History
SAMADHI - the Definition
Samadhi is a Sanskrit word that means:
* a state of deep contemplation
* a state of extraordinary lucidity, deep meditation, concentration
* becoming one with the object of meditation
* an enlightened bliss state in Zen Buddhism and Hinduism
Getting out is as simple as getting in
Before You Float
If you have never floated or you are about to float, here is information before your first float.
Floatation Tank - Many Uses
You can deal with pain relief, muscle aches, insomnia, creative blocks, career choices, business plans, design problems, rejection, mental chatter, or must important - nothing at all...when you float.
For example, Fred in Salt Lake City had been in chronic pain since he was in an automobile accident 15 years ago. The Samadhi tank fixed that gradually. He floats at night, before going to bed which relaxes him and releases the pain so he can sleep to let his body repair itself. He keeps cutting back his medication.
Rita was moving from Los Angeles to a small, unfamiliar town in Texas and she took a float tank with her as a magnet to attract kindred spirits. Se got to have her cake and use it too.
Daisy in Albuquerque notes that as she gets older, her body is not as resilient, as it used to be and she floats after heavy workouts in the garden - her chosen avocation.
Jane is always involved with her 2 children, 3 and 9 years old. She uses the quiet time she gets in her floatation tank to restore her energy.
Brian Mason bought his first Samadhi floatation tank when he was parking cars for a living.He didn't have the confidence to try any other jobs. He would get into the tank and float for 5 or 6 hours at a time, every day, until he got his "assignment". His first assignment was "to get to know his mother". He didn't go back into the tank until he completed the assignment to his satisfaction. As he completed his series of tank generated assignments, he gained what he needed to take the next step. Last report said he was working as a research assistant to a brilliant social scientist in Australia.
These sound like unusual stories and tank owner's are rather unusual people. Very special folks. After all, how many people do you know who have floatation tanks? Many things that have no ordinary way of being solved can be handled simply by allowing your own resources to become available.
If you would like to find out about having your own Samadhi Tank.

Dollar's 'truth'
In his Aug. 13 letter, Rep. Nelson Dollar stated, "the Republicans have lessened the burdens on all North Carolina taxpayers while keeping our levels of public service high." Was this accomplished when 170,000 North Carolinians were kicked off of unemployment? Or was it when the Republican-led legislature refused to expand Medicaid with 100 percent federal funding and as such denied working-poor North Carolinians the opportunity to be insured?
Perhaps it was when they provided vouchers to private schools, which are mainly religious institutions, with our tax dollars. I bet it was when they had hundreds of North Carolinians arrested for civil disobedience. Wait, maybe it was when Gov. Pat McCrory gave immediate raises to his new Cabinet but refused to pay our teachers appropriately.
I could go on, but the list is too long. North Carolinians need to know that Republican actions are going to significantly increase our tax burden because money will be needed to pay for charity care at hospitals, increased requests for food stamps and a likely increase in illegal activities due to the desperation and hopelessness we now find in our communities. It would really be nice if just once politicians stopped twisting the truth.

HOUSTON – A Katy man says he was scammed out of $200 by someone claiming to be with the FBI.
Like so many of us, Brejan Jackson's daily routine includes surfing the web, but recently he logged on and found a startling surprise.
"I opened my laptop and received a message that my laptop had been locked by the FBI," said Jackson. "I thought it was legitimate because it had the FBI logo and everything."
It looked official enough with the logo and a message stating his computer had been locked due to violation of federal laws. But here's where it gets fishy: all he had to do to unlock it was pay a fine using MoneyPak.
"It was for $200," he said. "I put in the code and then it was gone from my computer."
An FBI spokesperson said she's heard of this happening before.
"There's lots of different versions," said FBI spokesperson Shauna Dunlap. "All of them sort of put up the seal of the FBI and try to scare you into paying a fine."
One of the earliest versions claimed that computers were locked because they'd been used to access child pornography.
"It's not the job of the FBI to levy and collect fines," said Dunlap. "We don't collect money, and we don't notify you of criminal activity in that manner."
Jackson was upset to find he had been duped.
"People work hard for their money," said Jackson, "and for someone to take advantage of you, it's so unfair."
