Michael Genovese Interview
Michael Genovese pays homage to his institutional background when speaking about his vision as a visual artist. The Chicago native has had work on show at some of the leading museums in the States and when you consider this, it is not difficult to see how he made the transition into the contemporary gallery scene. Personally, I recall his exhibition entitled "It's Not The Heat, It's The Humility" in 2009 at OHWOW, which really showcased the artists progressive nature and ability to connect with collective experiences, be it social or existential. His work is about archives, permanence, and the designation of value while his concern with materiality, and the treatment of his chosen media, furthers the investigation of worth. This unique attention to a creative process which leaves no rock unturned makes for one to be appreciated on all levels and one that will make Genovese a name that will be talked about for years to come.
James Oliver: What inspired you to become a visual artist and what are your first memories of expressing your thoughts through art?
Michael Genovese: I did a residency at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago a few years back ("Institutionalized", Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, 2008) that gave me the resources to sort my "out of art" experiences within the context of Contemporary Art. Prior to that, I was clueless as to where I was going and what it meant to BE a visual artist. The experience of being immersed in the museum's culture while being put on display for the public to make sense of, turned me on.
A good first memory was watching a piece by Joseph Kosuth come down ("No Number #6 (On Color, Blue, 1991) that read " I am only describing language, not explaining anything," in place of my yet to be made painting. I chose to work within his statement for the piece and created a large exterior sign-like wall construction with hand painted text that was from a Zora Neale Hurston quote " All my skin folk, ain't all my kin folk." The painting was in the style of Mexican Black Lettering, inspired by Kerry James Marshall's, Souvenir I, (1997) and make shift signs I was studying in Mexico. During the time it was on display, I rotated paintings on the face of it that had the quote translated in 7 different languages by museum visitors and staff. The piece took on different meanings while staying rooted in concept as the language changed and morphed.
JO: What is the core philosophy behind your work?
MG: I give the bad ideas as much love as the ones I can live with. When I'm set on something, I obsessively go through the motions of trying to make the best out of it. I find value in the performance of labor at the crux of failure.
JO: How has your style of work evolved over time, since you first became an artist?
MG: How I handle my work has changed. It's become more layered. I question how I can make something that may be over looked or looked at too hard, possess a different value. Re-contextualizing and displacement.
JO: You come from an institutional background, doing work at museums in Chicago as well as public art projects. What part has this played in your evolution as an artist and to where you are now?
MG: I'm into people outside of the system getting involved in aspects of the process in my work. I learn vicariously from the pedestrian factor, it's an unedited alive experience that allows for a wider range of content for me.
JO: How did you transform those years of public experience to moving into the gallery setting?
MG: I brought a public aspect into the fold of my process of making. What was interesting to me about working outside of the studio was, and still is, the experience; not the finished objects or environment.
JO: What inspires you on a daily basis and how do you transform this into your work?
MG: I try and stay aware and curious of simple things. I start with something simple that moves me. It can be a hair left in the bath tub when I'm alone, how light bleeds on to the wall through the blinds at dusk, or crack in the ceiling found before going to sleep. I find those moments and complicate them by piling on metaphorical meanings and history, then I trim it down into something that's palatable and agrees with me.
JO: You currently have an exhibition up at the Frost Art Museum, can you tell me about the concept of the works?
MG: P.S.-P.P.S is a rotating exhibition at the Frost Art Museum that is exhibiting participatory focused work and my response to it. The first show combines the unedited commentary created on the campus of Florida International University (and its surrounding area) through graffito drawing with themes that range from Stereotypes to Faith. It's the result of works created during my tenure as artist-in-residence that included the community in the making of a physical and virtual archive of the zeitgeist of students. It was presented in silhouettes that echoed some artists work I was studying like Frederick Kiesler, Marcel Broodthaers and pieces in the Frost's permanent collection by David Hockney, Louise Nevelson, Ad Reinhardt and Robert Indiana. The surfaces unraveled a dialogue that discussed sociopolitical and economic concerns and solutions, expressive memes and internet language like Pedo Bear hanging out with Freddie Mercury's sign of hope and the notorious upside table.
P.P.S is a series of studio work where the transcriptions from the plates are engraved into fractured mirror polished metal that reference silhouettes of ancient relics of civilization. Engraving the text is rooted in the performance of being a scribe. The text is translated into local languages from where they were made and written in columns to the point of illegibility. Other works include FF'12 a collage made from researching the theme of Gender. It includes a printed screenshot from the Something in the way she moves music video, torn pages from the book You Must Relax, a Breath Right Strip and a polished piece of steel. The show ends with Double Day, a 13' piece of fragmented mirrored steel that is the positive relief of a wall crack.
JO: What do you consider pushes artists to achieve in the gallery setting, is there a certain appeal?
MG: It's a platform and support system for new ideas and an opportunity to make some money.
JO: What ambitions do you have for the future of your work?
MG: I am putting together my first book that'll be of work that was made between 2008-2012.
JO: Finally, where is home for you and what is the best thing about the city?
MG: I'm in transition to moving to Los Angeles right now, which I know very little about.

MORRISVILLE — Mayor Jackie Holcombe said she isn't pleased state legislators have expanded gun laws to allow permit holders to bring concealed weapons onto playgrounds, greenways and athletic fields.
Holcombe is urging Morrisville town staff to review the new law, which went into effect Oct. 1, to see if there is room to restrict guns near children in public areas. The council is expected to vote on the revisions Oct. 22.
"I wanted staff to see if there are any options at all," Holcombe said.
Under the state law, guns aren't allowed during specific times such as cricket-league practices and soccer practices, she said. "But there is no similar option for parents who would like to use our playgrounds," Holcombe said.
Council members Steve Rao, Steve Diehl and Margaret Broadwell agreed staff should take a closer look at the law.
In 2011, the state allowed municipalities to restrict concealed weapons in recreational facilities including playgrounds, athletic fields and swimming pools. Two years later, state lawmakers reversed course.
Towns and cities now can restrict permit holders only from bringing concealed firearms onto sports fields when there is a town-sponsored event. Gun owners can also bring concealed weapons onto greenways and other walking paths.
"I am not a big fan of this," Holcombe said. "I don't agree with the opinion that the state legislature knows what's best for all communities in North Carolina. I'd really like staff to take a look at this to see if there are times of day when we can have families come to playgrounds without the threat of concealed handguns."
While staff agreed to look into the issue, there isn't likely to be a loophole.
"I am not a lawyer," said Councilwoman Liz Johnson, "but reading the way the statute reads, there doesn't seem like a lot of leeway. If anyone is unhappy they need to take it up with the state and the General Assembly. Our responsibility is to adhere to state law."
But the law does create confusion, Broadwell said.
"I'm not sure how to interpret this," she said. "When there's an event, does that mean (the) whole field plus playground? I'm a little confused.… If it can't be separated out, where does that leave us?"
Parks and Recreation Director Jerry Allen said enforcing state law at Shiloh Park may be where there is confusion, because the cricket field is next to a playground.
Councilmen Mark Stohlman and Michael Schlink said they favored moving forward with the revisions. The town needs to comply with the law, they said.
"You have to look at everyone in town and their rights," Schlink said.

The Ohio Democratic Party has filed a lawsuit against Gov. John Kasich — who they claim is improperly using his office to campaign for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney — to get the governor to release his schedule of public events.
The ODP's lawsuit, filed Tuesday in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, contends that Kasich's office either ignored or only partially fulfilled the request.
"It's unfortunate that this Governor is so opposed to transparency and public disclosure that we have to ask the Court to force him to follow the law," ODP Chairman Chris Redfern said in a statement.
"Serious questions remain regarding whether the Governor has improperly used his office for the benefit of Mitt Romney, and it's deeply disappointing Kasich is so secretive he won't even tell the public what he's done or where he's gone."
Kasich press secretary Rob Nichols said the administration doesn't comment on litigation, but dismissed the Ohio Democratic Party's allegations.
"We release public records in accordance with the law, and in fact have already publicly released the governor's schedule six times, including a schedule request to the ODP," Nichols said.
"This is predictable election year politics from the same people who were just rebuked for using public records demands to interfere with the Auditor of State's investigation into possible data manipulation in some school districts."
Ohio Democratic Party spokesman Jerid Kurtz said Kasich's office did respond to one of the seven requests for the schedule, but some of the information in the records was redacted — including an entire week that was blacked out with no explanation.
"Ohio law is very clear, and it states you have to give a specific excuse when you redact something," Kurtz said.
According to the lawsuit and court documents, the ODP requested on July 2 Kasich's public schedule from that date through Aug. 27.
According to a letter to the Ohio Democratic Party from Mehek M. Cook — assistant chief counsel to Kasich — the information about the governor's future plans was blacked out because that information could put him at risk.
"The governor and his office receive threats on any given day and the release of his whereabouts increases security issues surrounding the governor's safety," Cook wrote.
Cook wrote that any information in the records used by the Executive Protection Unit assigned to guard Kasich constitutes a security record and was redacted.
He also wrote that some information that would reveal confidential business meetings and trade secrets that would harm Ohio efforts to court businesses was blacked out. Additionally, information not relevant to the request was redacted.
Kurtz said it's important that the public have access those schedules because voters have a right to know what their governor is doing on the public dime.
The schedules include where the governor is and with whom he meets, but they also show scheduled phone calls and media interviews.
The Ohio Democratic Party worries that Kasich is improperly campaigning for Romney while receiving a taxpayer-funded paycheck, or using public money to have his staff do so.
The concerns stem from statements made by Kasich both in public and on his Twitter account either praising the presumed Republican presidential nominee or slamming President Obama.
For instance, The Plain Dealer in Cleveland reported that when Obama visited Ohio on Aug. 1 the governor tweeted "On the occasion of the President's latest visit to Ohio, we have a question for him," with a link to a graphic asking "If the President's policies are behind Ohio's success, why is the rest of the country trailing us?"
Democrats claim that Ohio's success relative to the rest of the country are due to efforts by President Obama, while Republicans say Governor Kasich is behind Ohio's faster-than-average recovery.
While the Ohio Democratic Party is suing to have Kasich release his public schedule (Kurtz says Attorney General Mike DeWine and Auditor Dave Yost complied with similar requests in a timely manner) the state Republican Party has also submitted similar requests to Democrats throughout Ohio.
Kurtz characterized the GOP requests as being sent by Kasich's "hand-picked lieutenants in the Ohio Republican Party," though Nichols told The Plain Dealer that the governor had no involvement.
Ohio GOP executive director Matt Borges told the newspaper that the requests were routine.
Still, Kurtz called Kasich's refusal to release his own schedule "hypocritical."
"He's a bully and the only way you can deal with a bully is fighting back."
Republican Rep. John Becker is pretty upset that a
terminally ill gay man has earned the right to die in peace, and now
it's become a very real possibility that other gay Ohioans might also
get to die (and live) in peace. And, just like my brother, he's kind of trying to
ruin the game for everyone just because he's losing.
In July, Judge Timothy Black heard the case of Jim Obergefell and John Arthur, a long-term gay couple who flew to Maryland to marry at the beginning of the month because Arthur is terminally ill, in hospice care, and not expected to live much longer.
Obergefell and Arthur sued the state of Ohio for
discrimination in not recognizing their out-of-state gay marriage, legal
and recognized in Maryland, when other gay couples residing in states
recognizing same-sex marriages and subsequently moved to Ohio would have
their marriages treated as valid. And because Arthur is terminally ill, it's just as much for the emotional connection as it is for any kind of economic benefit.
Here's what Obergefell wrote in his original complaint (grab a tissue):
"Our legacy as a married couple is very important to John and me… in two or more generations our descendants will not know who we are. Married couples, often through research based on death records, have recognition for their special status forever. I want my descendants generations from now who research their history to learn that I loved and married John and that he loved and married me. They will know that they had gay ancestor who was proud and strong and in love."
In his ruling, Black called the case "not complicated," explaining that he'd allow the marriage to be legalized on Arthur's death certificate because it was likely a constitutional violation that the state of Ohio treated lawful out-of-state same-sex marriages differently than lawful out-of-state same-sex marriages.
In September, he ruled to allow the marriage of another gay
couple — David Michener and William Herbert Ives — after Ives
unexpectedly passed away in late August. Although these aren't (yet) blanket rulings, they're being interpreted as monumental victories for supporters of marriage equality.
Becker, then, decided to do the political equivalent of my brother running to my mom and accusing me of cheating; he wrote U.S. Rep. Brad Wenstrup and called for Black to be impeached for "malfeasance and abuse of power," which apparently made him really concerned about the "federal government's ever growing propensity to violate state sovereignty."
Unfortunately, though, U.S. District Court judges are
appointed for life, so since Becker's claims against Judge Black are
totally unfounded, Black is free to continue to anger Becker and other people who don't approve of equality for gay couples.
Alphonse Gerhardstein, the attorney for both couples, calls Becker's response to the rulings "bullying."
"Federal judges are granted tenure for life for a reason. It's their job to enforce core principles even when the majority disagrees," he says. "Look at the Dred Scott case. I think most people would agree that's the worst case decision ever made by a judge, and even he didn't get impeached." (In case you forget, he's talking about Dred Scott v. Sandford, the landmark 1857 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that ruled black people weren't citizens.)
Things that actually can get a judge impeached, says Gerhardstein, are offenses like having sex with a criminal defendant or taking bribes.
On Wednesday, Sept. 25, the court added licensed funeral director Robert Grunn, who is responsible for registering deaths and providing personal information to the state on what should go on a death certificate, to the list of plaintiffs. Grunn currently serves same-sex couples when he signs death certificates, says the lawsuit, including those with marriages recognized outside the state of Ohio. The lawsuit, if successful, could require all funeral directors to recognize gay clients as married on death certificates if they were legally married in a different state.
Gerhardstein also says since accepting Arthur and Obergefell's case, he and his colleagues have received inquiries from between 30 to 50 other gay couples seeking legal recognitions of their out-of-state marriages. For now, he says, he and his firm are concentrating on cases specifically involving recognizing same-sex marriages on death certificates, although this litigation could (and probably will) lead to other blanket rulings on how same-sex marriages are recognized in Ohio.
Another hearing with Judge Black is scheduled for Dec. 18.
As part of CityBeat's continuing election coverage, we've once again sent a questionnaire to the non-incumbent Cincinnati City Council candidates to get their reactions on a broad range of issues.
Nine of the 14 non-incumbents chose to answer our questions. Others either didn't respond or couldn't meet the deadline.
During the next few weeks, we will print the responses from the non-incumbents to a different topic each time.
Today's question is, "What are your thoughts on consolidating some city and county services? If you support the concept, are there specific services that should be considered for consolidation? Conversely, are there specific services that should be deemed off-the-table?"
Jobs, jobs, jobs. That is what Republican House Speaker John Boehner said would be priority No. 1 for Republicans after sweeping the House of Representatives and many state legislatures in 2010. This, Republicans said, was why they were elected: People wanted to see changes in the economy fast.
But, apparently, there was one other priority.
Almost immediately after coming into office in 2011, Virginia Republicans set the national stage for vital women's health issues. House Bill 1 — the first bill Virginia Republicans chose to take on — was a personhood bill, a bill that define life beginning at conception. Not only would the bill have banned abortion, it would also have banned the birth control pill, which sometimes prevents birth by stopping the implantation of a fertilized egg.
An impartial observer might wonder why a personhood bill would be a top Republican priority. After all, the same election that put all these Republicans in power also had a personhood bill overwhelmingly rejected in Mississippi — a state so socially conservative that 46 percent of Mississippi Republicans want to make interracial marriage illegal, according to a recent poll from Public Policy Polling.
Nonetheless, this was the issue Virginia Republicans decided to give serious attention. In an economy with a 9 percent unemployment rate at the time, this was the most important issue to Virginia Republicans.
Ohio wasn't much luckier with its crop of Republicans. Five months after inauguration, the Ohio House passed its "heartbeat" bill, or H.B. 125. To this day, it's the most radical anti-abortion bill in the country. Not only would it ban abortion when a fetal heartbeat is detected, but the bill makes no exceptions for rape, incest or life-threatening circumstances.
Ohio and Virginia were not alone. Republicans were pushing anti-abortion, anti-contraception bills all around the nation. Pennsylvania, Kansas, Mississippi and Texas all made national headlines with their own bills. In more than 20 states, bills have been introduced to restrict insurance coverage of abortions, according to ABC News. At the federal level, Republicans have made funding for Planned Parenthood a top issue time and time again, and insurance companies covering contraception recently became such a big issue that the White House had to step in.
So much for keeping the government out of health care. The same political party that clamored for small government now couldn't wait to regulate women's health care. Apparently, the economy is too much for the government to handle, but every woman's uterus is fair game.
There has been some backlash. After Virginia tried to pass a bill that would force doctors to give patients seeking abortion a transvaginal ultrasound, women's health advocates in states across the nation organized protests, leading to governors and state legislatures beginning to back down in their rhetoric. Even Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, a Republican who originally supported the transvaginal ultrasound bill, has been downplaying his involvement in Virginia's anti-abortion, anti-contraception bills.
Now, Mitt Romney, the likely GOP nominee for president, is facing some of the backlash. In a recent Gallup poll, women came out severely against Romney. In the category of women under 50, Obama held 60 percent of voters, while Romney held only 30 percent. That's right, Obama now leads with women under 50 by a two-to-one margin.
But while that may stop some rhetoric, the bills and laws are still coming forward. The Ohio heartbeat bill is still being pushed by some Republicans in the Ohio Senate, and a personhood initiative could show up in Ohio's 2012 ballot after a stamp of approval from Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted. Mississippi also plans to reintroduce its personhood initiative in the 2012 ballot, and other states are beginning to pass around petitions for their own initiatives as well.
In the end, one is left to wonder what could stop social conservatives. Public backlash and poor polling don't seem to be enough to stop the Republican war on women, and in some cases it might have actually emboldened them.
The rollback saves property owners $70 in taxes for every $100,000 of valuation. For the next two years they will be paying an extra $35 per $100,000 of their home's value.
The money will be used to balance the stadium fund, which faces a $7 million deficit. The rollback reduction is expected to raise about $10 million. The board voted 2-1 for the proposal, with sole Democrat Todd Portune dissenting.
"The property tax rollback measure that has been advanced so far buys us only one year, and next year we will be doing the same thing we are doing today," Portune said.
Portune favored raising the sales tax by 0.25 cents — to 6.75 — per dollar, which would have raised more than $30 million over 10 years. His proposal, which failed to receive any support, would have expired after the 10 years and gone up for review annually after the first five.
Portune said his proposal was more equitable. He said reducing the property tax rollback was going to affect only Hamilton County residential property owners, whereas a sales tax increase would affect everyone who spends money in the county, including visitors from neighboring Kentucky and Indiana.
Portune billed the tax increase as a long-term solution that would raise more than was needed currently but would keep the fund stable in years to come.
Board President Greg Hartmann, who authored the rollback reduction proposal, called Portune's plan "a bridge too far." He said it was too large of a tax increase and not a targeted approach to solve the deficit problem. He said he didn't trust future commissions to allow the tax increase to expire.
Hartmann called the property tax rollback reduction flexible, scalable, clean, immediate and certain.
Commissioner Chris Monzel, who provided the deciding vote, said he didn't like either and had to go against his principles with either choice.
"No way I walk out of this without breaking a promise. No way I walk out of this winning," he said.
Monzel said he hopes that savings from the Affordable Care Act would allow the county to lower its property tax rates to make up for the rollback reduction.
Monzel also introduced a successful proposal that will include an annual review of the tax budget to make sure property taxes don't change, a provision requiring parking revenue from The Banks to be used to develop The Banks and a directive for the county administrator to work with Cincinnati's professional sports teams on concessions they can make to help out with the stadium funding burden.
Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, born and raised in Cincinnati, appears to be the frontrunner for Secretary of Health and Human Services. She supported Barack Obama's presidential run early on and campaigned for him, including in Cincinnati.
This position was originally to be filled by former Sen. Tom Daschle, who dropped out when it was revealed he hadn't paid all of his taxes. Stupid taxes! There's no word yet on how good Sebelius' CPA is.

While the presidential candidates prepared for Wednesday's debate, Michelle Obama urged Cincinnatians on Tuesday to take advantage of the first day of early voting, before leading a group to the board of elections to cast their ballots.
"I've got news for you: Here in Ohio it's already Election Day. Early voting starts today," Obama told a crowd of 6,800 inside the Duke Energy Convention Center. She urged everyone to reach out and encourage their friends to vote after they had cast their own ballots.
"Twitter them. Tweet them. What do you do? It's tweeting, right? Tweet them," she joked to the crowd.
Earlier in the morning, the campaign of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney kicked off its "Commit to Mitt Early Vote Express" statewide bus tour in downtown Cincinnati.
The tour started in Hamilton County before moving through Butler County and is scheduled to end the day in Preble County.
The bus is scheduled to make its way through every region of Ohio during the early voting period and will serve as a mobile campaign headquarters, dispensing voter contact materials and featuring Romney campaign surrogates, according to a news release.
At the convention center, Michelle Obama avoided some of the direct attacks employed by her husband or the Romney campaign, but used her 30-minute speech to counter some of the criticisms from the GOP nominee, recapping some of her convention speech.
"Our families weren't asking for much," Michelle said of her own and Barack's families. "They didn't begrudge anyone else's success, you know, they didn't mind if others had much more than they did, in fact they admired it. That's why they pushed us to succeed."
Her comment seemed to come in response to an attack that the Romney campaign levied against Barack Obama after his infamous "you didn't build that" comment, where the GOP candidate argues that Obama and Democrats are fostering enmity among the middle class by stoking jealousy of rich, successful Americans like Mitt Romney.
"Our families believed also that when you work hard and have done well and finally walk through that doorway of opportunity, you don't slam it shut behind you," Michelle Obama continued.
"No, you reach back and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed. You see, that's how Barack and I and so many of you were raised. … We learned that the truth matters – you don't take shortcuts, you don't game the system, you don't play by your own set of rules."
She went on to say that Americans are part of something bigger than themselves and obligated to give back to others, counter to the Republicans' narrative of the individual pulled up by his or her own bootstraps.
Danielle Henderson, 40, a teacher's assistant from Cincinnati, said she was a fan of the first lady's and joked that she wanted to know if Michelle was running for president in 2016.
"Behind every good man is a good woman," Henderson said. "Honestly, a woman is a backbone of the family."
She said she thought the first family was a good model for the rest of the country.
Henderson's mother-in-law Barbara joked that she was excited to see what the first lady was going to wear.
"I see trends she sets trickle down to other politicians' wives," she joked.

DUNCAN — Hundreds of millions of people watch it every year. Whether it be at a sports bar watch party or with a group of friends at home, nearly every person in the United States, and possibly worldwide, is exposed to this yearly sporting spectacle that is the Super Bowl.
The game itself is a major feat of accomplishment between two teams that have literally gone to battle in a grueling 18 week season against an extensive 32 team field. It only further emphasizes why people make this particular sporting event more of a celebration and a holiday than just any other game.
Nationwide, it's almost impossible to calculate the number of get-togethers that will occur. Restaurants with televisions and big screens will almost certainly be full of people sharing the same passion for the game, and at sports bars and grills, it will be almost impossible to find a seat come game time.
In Duncan, Heroes Sports Grill hosts this annual event every year to a packed house. Director of Heroes, Marty Fox, said that people begin piling into the sports bar at around 4:30 to get the good seats in front of the biggest televisions and by the best speakers.
"These front rows here fill up fast," Fox said. "They try and get her to get the best seats... but you can see a TV from almost anywhere in the place."
In fact, Fox said even on a normal Sunday game night it's hard to find a seat.
"We were really busy when the Vikings played the Saints," Fox said. "We had a big group of Vikings fans with their jerseys on over there and a big group of Saints fans in jerseys across the room.
"It was pretty fun and really busy until the Vikings lost of course."
Fox said that the games usually bring good business to the sports bar even on a normal Sunday, but that the Super Bowl brings more than usual. He said he doesn't mind the extra work though, as it not only allows him to have fun with the crowd, but he gets to meet new people as well and hopefully bring them back as new customers in the future.
"It's a lot of fun," Fox said. "I like talking with the people and meeting new people."
Fox did say that the fans in the restaurant can get a little excited, but assures that it stays a family friendly environment as well.
"We get kind of rowdy, but no cussing or things like that," Fox said. "We have kids that come in here with their families, and we don't need any of that stuff going on."
As with any sporting event, there is the potential for long quarters and overtime play, but Fox assured that no matter how long the game lasted he would keep Heroes open so people can enjoy the entire game.
"You wouldn't want people watching the game, and it goes into overtime and me say 'Okay guys, we're closing, you gotta leave,'" Fox said. "As long as the game's on, we'll be open."
Fox expected many Colts and Saints fans to come to the watch party Sunday evening. He said though, no matter which side a person was rooting for, they would still have a good time.
As well as restaurants, local church organizations are holding their own Super Bowl parties as well. First Christian Church utilized The Well as a gathering point for their own youth oriented Super Bowl party. However, Youth Minister for First Christian Church, Ryan Benton, said that they added their own spin to their party to make it a philanthropic event as well.
"We asked kids to bring in canned goods for Christians Concerned," Benton said. "Normally we just take up an offering in soup bowls and call it our 'soup'- erbowl during service, but this year, we made a competition out of it to see who can bring the most cans."
Benton said around 50 children would normally show up to their Super Bowl parties and they usually have a pretty good time as well.
If someone watches the big game at home or at someone else's home, then chances are, they have some form of food either delivered or carried out from local restaurants.
Billy Sims Barbecue general manager Carla Tugman said that their takeout orders grow a lot during the big game.
"Already, I've had five racks of ribs and four tail-gaters," Tugman said as of early Sunday afternoon.
So whether a person loves the camaraderie of a home event or the potential wild factor of a Bar and Grill watch party, rest assured, there are plenty of options for someone to enjoy the gridiron finale

Assassin's Creed III builds strongly on the series but fails to take a giant leap of faith into any real new territory. A new plot, the Colonial America setting, and sheer volume of things to do outweigh the disappointing bugs and glitches.
We like
- Great sense of place in Colonial America
- Compelling narrative
- Fun gameplay
We dislike
- Bugs and graphic issues
- Lots to do, but loosely tied together
- Poor enemy A.I.

The latest installment in the Assassin's Creed series sums up the highs and lows of the franchise as a whole. It is a wildly fun action-adventure game set in a beautiful and lively open world full of side quests, historic characters, cities where buildings serve as jungle gyms, beastly targets to assassinate, and the ever-growing Templar enemies hungry for power and control. Yet like other games in the series, Assassin's...

Amp manufacture by Fender can be traced back to 1945 but it's the 'tweed' and 'blackface' tube models of the '50s and '60s which are the most iconic. Each era produced legendary models, such as the 'blonde' amps produced between 1960-64. Classic amplifiers from this era include the Twin combo as well as the 'piggyback' amp and cabinet Bassman, Tremolux, Showman and Bandmaster. By the 1980s, Fender's amp division had rolled out solid-state, transistor-powered ranges alongside its high-end tube models, and from the '90s onwards, a desire for authentic, vintage sounds has spawned renewed production of retro-inspired reissues and classic amps. These include the Blues Deluxe, the Princeton and the Deluxe Reverb; models that have come to define the Fender legacy.

RALEIGH — N.C. State's marketing slogan proclaims, "This is our State." After Saturday's win over North Carolina, it's at least the Wolfpack's Triangle.
N.C. State handled UNC 91-83 in an uneven, yet at times dominant performance, six years in the making. With 20 points and 11 assists from junior guard Lorenzo Brown, No. 18 N.C. State ended a 13-game losing streak to the Tar Heels.
Both forwards Richard Howell (16 points and 14 rebounds) and C.J. Leslie (17 and 10) finished with double-doubles for N.C. State, which had lost 19 of 20 games to UNC (13-6, 3-3 ACC) coach Roy Williams.
The Wolfpack (16-4, 5-2) still might have to hold off on the "Our State" proclamation, after Tuesday's game at Wake Forest, but it has beaten its blue neighbors in the past two weeks.
"Our program has lost a lot of games to North Carolina," second-year coach Mark Gottfried said. "They're good and have been good. We're trying to get good. At some point, you've got to turn it a little bit. This is a start."
It looked like the Wolfpack would deliver a knockout for the frenzied, sellout crowd of 19,577 at PNC Arena. State took control of the game at the end of the first half with a decisive 20-2 run to take a 45-26 halftime lead. The Pack's margin ballooned to 28 points, 61-33, with 13:22 left in the game.
"It was a butt-kicking, is what it was," Williams said. "I'm not big into moral victories whatsoever, and we did try to make a comeback but I think our teams will always make a comeback. But North Carolina State was more prepared, they had a greater sense of urgency and they worked harder."
UNC did make N.C. State earn its first win in the series since Feb. 3, 2007 in the final minutes. With 19 points from P.J. Hairston, in just 17 minutes, UNC cut the 28-point deficit down to five with 30.7 seconds left.
Then Brown and Scott Wood (12 points) made all six of their free throws in the final 30 seconds to seal the win. Brown was elated after the game but not entirely satisfied.
N.C. State, which gave up 51 points in the second half of Tuesday's loss at Wake, gave up 57 on Saturday to the Heels.
"The first half was the 'real' State," Brown said. "The second half, I don't know what we did. If we can get two halves, we would be great."
It was an almost a surreal identity swap from what has been the norm between the two programs. Williams' teams have routinely beaten State with the type of playmaking from a point guard like Brown displayed on Saturday.
Brown seized control of the game against UNC freshman point guard Marcus Paige, who missed his first eight shots, and the Pack outscored UNC, 39-19 in transition, including 20-0 in the first half.
"Any time he's aggressive like that, it makes us a little different," Wood said of Brown.
Paige, who finished with seven points and four assists, did make both of his free throws at 5:22 to make it 70-61. A four-point play from Wood with 4:18 to play seemed to quell UNC's momentum and pushed the Pack's lead back to 78-63 but UNC kept coming.
Hairston hit his fifth 3 with 1:00 left and then James Michael McAdoo's follow-up dunk with 30.7 left cut the Pack's lead to 85-80. Wood and Brown made the next six free throws to avoid an epic meltdown.
There was no on-court celebration after the clock finally ran out on the Tar Heels but there was an "Our State!" chant. Brown said the win was as much for the fans as the Wolfpack players.
"They haven't seen a win in a long time against UNC," Brown said. "We just went out and got it done."

With the following changes, you'll never want for another seafood bisque recipe! I used just 8 oz chicken broth and for the remaining liquid I reserved the juice from the lobster and added clam juice to make up the difference. I then whisked in 3oz tomato paste and put it all in the soup. I used 1/4 c white wine (instead of 1/2c) and 1/4c sherry. It was ABSOLUTELY incredible! *Works well with crab as well or a lobster/crab combo.*
I've used this recipe with some modifications based on all of the reader reviews & it always comes out great. I use my hand blender to blend the vegetables & seafood, because I found that transferring to the countertop blender was too messy. Also, I add clam juice instead of broth, as it gives it more of a seafood flavor, and I skip the wine. I also use just celery & onions and not the carrots & mushrooms. I also use imitation crab & lobster meat sometimes, or throw in scallops and/or shrimp. The base is excellent, and the cayenne pepper gives it just enough kick! I forgot to mention that I also add a small can of tomato paste and blend it with the vegetables and broth/clam juice. It helps thicken the bisque a bit and also gives it more flavor and color.
ORIGINAL REVIEW 1/3/05---I didn't add all the veggies to mine. I doubled the amount of onions & celery & omitted the carrots & mushrooms. I decreased the butter by 1 tbp. to account for the lack of veggies. The wine sauce was a bit strong (I used a good chardonnay)...next time I will use just a bit less wine. All in all, very very good! UPDATE 7/24/06---Made this again using all the veggies & using leftover lobster tails (we purposely made extra for this recipe) & this time I simmered the lobster tails (I removed the meat) in the soup & then removed them before serving. WOW! It added such great flavor!!!! Also, this time I used a pinot grigio & even added a bit extra & the wine taste wasn't overpowering at all.

> SOUTHERN INDIANA — As CEO of Clark Memorial Hospital, Padgett is ultimately responsible for the well-being of thousands of patients annually. To make sure that the people he serves get the care they need, he needs to make sure his staff of doctors, nurses, specialists, administrators and assistants are up to the task. And that doesn't just mean making sure they have the best tools and training to do the job. In the health care business, wellness has a trickle-down effect. Clark Memorial puts a priority on the health of its staff, promoting both physical and emotional well-being.
Clark Memorial's wellness center is open to its employees at a discounted rate, which can become free with a certain level of participation. The center includes personal trainers, nutritional education, chronic disease management and even free Zumba.
"All of those things together enable us to have more energy, more focus more positive attitude in everything that we do, both here at work and at home," says Padgett.
In a hospital setting, workplace wellness seems to be a no-brainer of a priority. After all, healthy employees are also more resistant to contracting disease, and who's more exposed to disease than an ER nurse? But anyplace work is being done, workplace wellness should be a priority, says Chuck Gillespie, the executive director of the Indiana Wellness Council.
"If you think about it, a healthier employee is a safer employee, especially if you're in a manufacturing environment," Gillespie says. "Chances are, if that person is fitter, their chances of injury become substantially less. At the same time, if they do injure themselves, because they are fitter, their chances of returning from the injury is quicker and shorter."
And that's just the beginning.
"The ultimate benefit for an employer is to reduce turnover and increase team member satisfaction and team member engagement," Padgett says. "A more engaged work force is really more of a productive work force, which provides for better quality and better service. So anytime you can lower turnover, that also lowers your costs because you're not hiring and training new folks. It just keeps a more stable work force to provide a better product."

Advertising dollars drying up. Readership disappearing. Relevance waning due to the Internet and smart phones.
The Yellow Pages, which just a decade or so ago had rival publishers fighting with telephone company directories over copious ad revenue, have had a rough go of it of late, particularly in larger cities as fewer people bother to pick them up off the sidewalks or doorsteps.
But publishers of the voluminous tomes got a dose of good news recently when a 2011 San Francisco ordinance that created a program to restrict the distribution of Yellow Pages directories was shelved after a federal court decision that struck down a similar ordinance in Seattle, according to the Bay Citizen.
In an effort to stave off complaints and blight associated with the frequent pileup of never-used directories outside residences, San Francisco created a three-year pilot program under which residents and businesses would have to request a telephone directory in order to receive one.
But a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a similar case in Seattle that the distribution of Yellow Pages is protected under the First Amendment. San Francisco's ordinance had faced a similar challenge, and the Board of Supervisors suspended their ordinance last month.
Publishers say that customers can simply opt-out of receiving the Yellow Pages by visiting the Local Search Association's website.
The turn of events got us thinking: Do residents use the Yellow Pages these days? Is the arrival of the big yellow book on your doorstep a mere layover before its arrival in your blue recycling bin? Are the Yellow Pages a trusted resource or an obsolete pile of paper?
Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Next time you use a photo of troops with bayonets, please get U.S. Marines and not a photo of British troops.
Looks like an image of American troops to me.
I could not tell if Brits or Aussie/New Zealanders. But the Bullpup leans toward Brit.
George in Fort Benning replied:
Brits, Aussies and Kiwis don't use M16s to train.
Correct, but those rifles that are charging with are bullpup style. I forgot their exact. I remember it well because we had Brits working in our sector in Northern Afghanistan. I ran into some Aussies and Kiwis in BAF. I know they used bullpup style rifles, but not that same manufacturer as the Brits. You backed up yet, or do you want to play guess that weapon and really loose.
I stand corrected, Patriot Post changed the picture from Brits with Bullpups to USMC with M16s. I just now saw that. I will still beat you on name that weapon.
Brits use L85A1 (aka SA80). Aussies use a locally produced version of the Steyr AUG.
USMC still issues the M16A2 as the primary infantry weapon.
I know what the US Military uses, since I have used them my self. If it has new rail system on it, it is an M16A4 which most branches have converted to. Of course everyone wants the M4. I did not look at the picture that close, so I would guess privates still get the old stuff. When I went through basic in 1982 and retired this year; my M16A1 had 5 numbers on the weapon opposed to 6 on everone elses. Also marked on the weapon was XM16E1A1. Talk about loose. When I went to Afghanistan, we (ETT Team) carried the M4 & M9, but the secfor kids carried M16A4s. Thanks for the model number for the Brits and Aussie bullpup. I got a chance to fire the Brit's bullpup but not the Aussie.
John Q Citizen in Colorado replied:
Looks like Marine recruits using M16's w/ M4 Bayonet to me.
Isn't it ironic that the President who, four years ago, said he'd "calm the seas"... and now that it is again election time, the seas are being whipped up into huge storm surges by Sandy? Think someone is trying to tell us something?
enemaofthestatistquo in Monroe, GA replied:
Yeah, "the planet begin to heal", looks like a big boil on satellite photos.
Thanks for the correction.
Based on the terrain, they might be Aussies. I don't the the differences in the uniforms, just the rifles.
enemaofthestatistquo in Monroe, GA said:
The weapons look like AR-15s, US troops are issued AR-15s,. Not so the Brits.
The photo now features American citizens, not subjects of the Queen.
Bullpup rifle?? Those are M-16's and the camo looks to be U.S. Maries also.
Thomas Hynes in Georgian Bay Canada said:
Just reading the comments below about which guns were used in a photo, who's troops they were.....this is why your country is in such deep trouble. You guys are so un educated and so far removed from reality and the rest of the world its scary. Obama inherited this whole mess from years of George Bush's Republican regime that ran your country into the ground. The deceit lack of core values and people in power taking advantage of ordinary citizens (sub prime crisis, people ripping off people) ) it has been hard to watch. We in Canada aren't without our problems but our economy is way better, we don't kill each other a nearly the same rate and Imagine an ordinary person going to the doctor and not having to worry about going bankrupt? Here people are protected by government not exploited by it....War in Iraq...wish I had Halliburton Stocks? BTW -- I think the reason you don't like Ted Turner is because he's right !! Truth hurts. Thank you for free speech. The US is truly an amazing country with amazing people. Be kind to your neighbour. Look for concrete solutions, its easy to say whats wrong.
You are the uneducate one, my Canuck friend:
The day the democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.
The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:
January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress. At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
Remember the day...
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001
The American in Columbus, Ohio replied:
I concur.
However, Mr. Canada, we Conservatives would love to buy the oil from your Alberta Oil Sands and transport them through the unbuilt Keystone XL pipeline that your fave, Corrupt Hussein Obama, chose to spike, along with his bin Laden execution, which he didn't do. Maybe it's because your country and its citizens choose not to murder innocents like the Muslims Obama chooses to side with. Go figure.
I understand that your preferred President of OUR United States, Obama, would rather subsidize Brazil's oil business (along with George Soros) to the tune of $2 billion dollars US than simply authorize the private investment into the Keystone XL pipeline. Again, go figure.
Vote this POS out of office and legislate to prevent this SOB from destroying our country during his 10-week long lame duck session. This Marxist slob will undoubtably try to use Executive Orders to force through any number of God-awful, anti-American, budget-busting laws that will castrate the American public. No!
I agree with you. It is amazing to me how people cannot open their eyes.
Finally!! Some common sense, AND an educated mind!! Randy, if I wasn't married, I'd come looking for you!! :)

Thomas Hynes in Georgian Bay Canada, lol, you forgot to mention that huge military of yours while you were bragging, China trembles at the thought of it.
Jamie Abrams in Texas replied:
Couldn't agree more with your comment, very well said!
The cartoons were Great. Love this web site.
Folks, you have to understand that our Canadian friend is only parroting the liberal BS that the lamestream always puts out. He doesn't know that the housing bubble was created by the Carter and Clinton and that the stimulus was a hugh waste of money. I don't know what core values he is talking about but I can tell you they damn sure weren't lost by the conservatives in thiis country. It';s the Demorats and their mindless sheep that have no core values other than anything goes and what kind of benefits can I get from the government to so I can sit on my ass and do nothing and let someone else pay the bills. Our Canadian should get his facts right before critizing us.
Merry in Cave Creek, AZ replied:
Quite to the point: I don't give a damn what a Canadian or other non-American citizen thinks citizens of MY country should do. As to the health care up there, up yours Mr. Canuck. My son's new roommate is a doctor who has explained the whole reason why he and fellow physicians are coming to the U.S. I wouldn't bother to educate you about your screwed up system and I do not welcome your critique of mine. Your words are wasted.
I agree. You tell'um.
What a bunch of clowns you all are!!!

Allen Baxter in West Chester, Ohio said:
I am really disappointed in that "Speaker" Boehner is not questioning the true qualifications of Obama to apply for candidaticy to the Presidency, when there is reasonable reason to dis-qualify Obama because he was not born in the USA.....(a REQUIREMENT!)
Wake-up America to this Imposter's "crafts"!
Yes, he was born in a stable in Bethlehem, the child of a virgin. Thanks for playing "Which Right Wing Freak Wears the Largest Tin Foil Hat!!!"
So, what are you saying, Larry?
In just over a week, I will be in Kitui, Kenya. There are two major tribes in the area in which I will be - Luo and Kamba. To say that these tribes do not like each other is an understatement.
The Luo love Obama because he is Luo. The Kamba hate Obama because he is Luo. Both tribes do agree on one issue, however, Obama is Kenyan, born in Mombasa. They are quite happy to show anyone that cares to ask.
Please "rab" (or whoever you are) stay there, then a village will no longer be missing an idiot.
Not Larry in Not Kenya replied:
Larry, what the heck are you doing on this site? You obviously have nothing to contribute and your mind is too closed to absorb any information. Please go away.
Hi Not Larry!! Good thing you are not in Kenya. I read on here that some dumb*ss named "rab" is planning a trip there. You would not want to reduce your IQ by running into this idiot. I am sure you are not wanting me to stop posting on this wonderful site!! Heck, without posters like me, this little blog is nothing more than a freakish right wing circlejerk. Consider my posts a favor to you morons. Have a nice day :)
Jamie Abrams in Texas replied:
Thank you Larry in Dallas! Someone forwarded this link to me that is the only reason I am on it. I couldn't agree more with you and the guy from San Diego!
True American's know.
Those chaps and 100 more like them would have been of use defending the Consulate at Benghazi. Getting those bayonets into Islamic bellies would have been fitting. After, looking skyward, they could have given Obama the FINGER via the drone.
As I understand it, A hercules type gunship was also in the Benghazi area but was not used to protect the American Ambassador or Consulate. Why? Well how bout this: VOTES lost for Obama, the MUSLIM VOTE. There are 500,000 Muslims in N.Y.C. alone. The Evil thing in the Oval Office did not want to lose one vote,much less tens of thousands. Rosebud is in Alberta Canada. Americas Friendly Conservative Neighbour.
Canadians have been throwing off the yoke of socialism but its a slow process in country so small with the Province of Quebec sucking it down,besotted with entitlements and "transfer payments" from the "have" province of Alberta. Wealth redistributed on a GRAND SCALE" If you want that keep the Soros puppet and his high living wife in office. I say to AMERICANS ...GUN UP . Armed citizens are FREE CITIZENS.
I sure do believe this!!!
Don't see any "bullpups', just M16's. Are you a Democrat?
One more and I will let it go.
This link will show you pictures of most the bullpup rifle in the world. Great design because the bolt and firing port are behing the trigger. Problem with quick magazine change. Great for keeping the effective range but reducing the overall length. So for those that do not know. Or just google picture of bullpup rifle and you will be more informed. First time I have ever been called a Democrat. RALMAO.
I think the Australians use the Styr Aug. Many years ago before the Canadian Liberal Govt. of the time put them,among many others, in the "restricted weapons" class, I got to fire one . Hot diggity Damn....If Custer had them.....! We can still own Rugers Mini 14 and Benelli MR. without a "restricted weapon" permit. AR types are verboten, No "Second Amendment" here. We did have to register ALL guns the new Conservative Govt. killed that.

ARLINGTON – AirCheckTexas Drive a Clean Machine, a program that has helped thousands of motorists purchase newer, more fuel-efficient vehicles, began accepting applications for replacement assistance in the North Texas area on Jan. 28.
Residents with vehicles that have failed the emissions portion of the state inspection in the past 30 days or are more than 10 years old are encouraged to apply for replacement assistance if they meet the income criteria and certain vehicle requirements, available at www.nctcog.org/airchecktexas.
This is the second year in a row the program has operated on a limited basis, following the Legislature's decision in 2011 to reduce funding in an effort to help balance the budget. The repair component of the program, offering vouchers worth as much as $600, has continued year-round.
During the three months the replacement component of the program was open in fiscal year 2012, more than 900 vouchers were used. Since the program began in 2002, 28,504 vehicles have been replaced, while 27,134 have been repaired with the help of vouchers.
A family of four earning $69,150 per year may receive assistance, but income guidelines could change in February. The 10-year-old program offers $3,000 vouchers toward replacement of a vehicle with a newer, cleaner automobile. The amount increases to $3,500 if the newer car or truck is a hybrid, electric or natural gas-powered vehicle.
AirCheckTexas has helped the area move closer to compliance with federal ozone standards. Assistance is open to vehicle owners in nine Dallas-Fort Worth area counties (Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall and Tarrant).

Attorneys have filed motions for dismissal on behalf of Mayor Ted Franklin and the Logansport City Council regarding a lawsuit filed against the city last week stating the city did not properly authorize itself to seek the development of a new power plant.
Last November, Logansport Municipal Utilities issued a request for proposals from companies interested in entering into a public-private agreement to develop a plant powered by refuse derived fuel. In January, LMU endorsed a proposal submitted by Pyrolyzer, LLC, a renewable energy consulting firm based in Boca Raton, Fla. Logansport City Council has since voted to engage in negotiations with the company.
Last week, local attorney Jim Brugh filed a lawsuit against the city in Cass County Superior Court II on behalf of his client Julie Kitchell, a Logansport citizen. The lawsuit cites a part of Indiana Code that states a city must adopt a provision pertaining to public-private agreements before entering into one.
City council adopted the public-private agreement provision at its March 4 meeting. Brugh and Kitchell are saying it needed to be done before the request for proposal was submitted in November.
John Molitor, an Indianapolis-based attorney working as special counsel for the city, said Franklin has hired a litigation specialist, attorney Mark Crandley of Indianapolis-based Barnes & Thornburg LLP, to handle the case. Crandley filed a motion to dismiss the case on behalf of the mayor Monday. Crandley's motion includes a brief for the judge's consideration as to why Crandley believes the case should be immediately thrown out on the basis that it has no merit.
Molitor agreed.
"We're hoping the plaintiff comes to her senses and decides that it's not worth it to continue to litigate this and that the whole thing in the first place was brought in bad faith," Molitor said. "There's no requirement in law that the statute had to be adopted in advance of the [request for proposal] issuance or advance of the mayor getting the authority to move forward with negotiations."
Franklin shared a similar sentiment.
"I question the very merits of her claims," Franklin said. "I think she's received some horrible legal advice that is unfounded and probably is more the desire of the attorney than of the plaintiff."
Brugh disagrees with Crandley, Molitor and Franklin. In his lawsuit, he cites the part of the Indiana Code called the Home Rule Act, part of which states, "If there is a constitutional or statutory provision requiring a specific manner for exercising a power, a unit wanting to exercise the power must do so in that manner." He applies this law to the public-private agreement provision, concluding that the city had to first adopt the provision before even issuing the request for the power plant.
Molitor referred to the resolution passed by city council March 4, which not only adopted the public-private agreement provision, but adopted a provision of Indiana Code that states the council can ratify all actions previously taken regarding the power plant.
Brugh disagrees with this as well, adding that the Home Rule Act holds more weight than this statute.
"It's just a cleanup law," Brugh said of the ratification provision. "The words in that law, in my opinion, do not trump the more detailed choice of words in the Home Rule Act. It's a question of statuatory construction. Local governments don't have power. Local governments are created by the state, so that's why within municipal law, there has to be a specific statuatory creation of the power. There's already a law that says the city can enter into contracts. Why is there a specific one for [public-private agreements]? It's because they're unusual. You have to enable yourself to have this power if you're going to presume to exercise it."
Molitor said not only is the ratification provision legitimate in this matter, but is being used in the city's motion for dismissal to illustrate the frivolousness of Kitchell's lawsuit.
"They filed the lawsuit knowing that the city had duly ratified all those prior actions, so even if their legal theories held any water, the ratification of the prior actions of the city would override them completely. They had to know that, which is why we're suggesting that this litigation has been filed in bad faith."
Should the judge also find the case frivolous, Crandley goes on to request in his brief that the court award the city its costs and attorneys' fees. Molitor said Kitchell would then be obligated to provide this reimbursement.
As city council is listed alongside the mayor as a defendant in the lawsuit, Molitor filed an appearance on its behalf as well. He said the council will meet in executive session Thursday to discuss strategy.
"We have no reason to think the council will have a different approach than the mayor has," Molitor said.
Franklin said he hopes to resolve the matter soon.
"We just want to make sure that we dispose of this as quickly as possible, because there's a tremendous amount of money on the line, not only for the city but for the investors and they have a right to know if they're going to be welcomed here or not."

The Lions will stick with PK Dave Rayner the rest of the season.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Lions will place PK Jason Hanson (MCL) on injured reserve.
Hanson was injured in Week Nine. The 40-year-old had converted 12-of-14 field-goal attempts and all 19 point-after tries.
Rayner, a Michigan native who attended Michigan State, has converted 4-of-6 FG attempts and all five of his extra points since replacing Hanson.
The way we see it
Rayner's misses have come from at least 40 yards out and he hasn't attempted a field goal of more than 50 yards while Hanson made three field goals from at least 50 yards out. Rayner is a solid replacement for the veteran. Hanson joins Mike Nugent and Stephen Gostkowski as starting kickers to land on I.R. this season. He has played 295 games with the Lions, one short of Bruce Matthews' record for most games played with one team.

It's Dec. 1, which means 2011 is within sight.
But first, we have to give 2010 the archive treatment. When you work for a newspaper, that means compiling a list of the Top 10 stories of the year.
Reporter Tyler Treadway has been given the task of compiling the Top 10 lists for Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties. It's no easy chore.
He sent out an e-mail to editors, reporters and columnists, asking for their input.
Below is the e-mail I sent to Treadway -- with a "cc" to the Indian River County editor, Adam Neal. (Keep in mind, I'm just one vote in this rather extensive process. The Press Journal's official Top 10 list may look very different. Something may happen in December that shakes up the list, for example.)

Even if the new Santa Cruz Warriors hadn't won their first home game Sunday night, the team scored a major victory.
For the first time in modern history 2,505 people turned up for a professional team sports event in Santa Cruz, paying $15-$35 to fill a sparkling new arena that was built in only 12 weeks.
Many said it was a huge turnaround for a city that was known for turning down mainstream projects, such as the proposed La Bahia Hotel and convention center, which bit the dust last year because neighbors didn't want to allow it to be 15 feet higher than allowed.
"We just proved that we can be as good at saying yes as we are at saying no," said County Tax Collector Fred Keeley. "This is wholesome. It's families. It's great."
Keely was among thousands of locals who not only saw the team win its debut, but saw an entertainment spectacular that included American Idol finalist James Durbin singing the National Anthem like it was a classic rock tune, trick bicyclists doing daredevil somersaults, indoor fireworks, dance groups from Oakland that had the crowd shrieking for more, the Warrior girls cheer team, Mav'Rick's, the turtle mascot.
And – oh yeah – a basketball game by a hungry and graceful team that is in first place in the Development League with a 6-2 record.
"This is so great for everyone in the city," said John Mootz, whose family owns Aldo's restaurant. "I never thought I'd see anything like it here."
He brought his 11-year-old son, Connor, and they rode a pedicab to the game after parking on Front Street.
The rain helped solve what could have been a parking disaster, as the biggest shopping day of the year combined with the sold-out game could have made parking almost impossible. It wasn't. Many found street parking and others filled the free lot at the County Administration Building on Ocean Street and took a shuttle to the arena.
Team president Jim Weyermann beamed like a proud parent as he watched the last seconds run out on the home town win.
Weyermann, who had lived in Capitola, was one of the people who inspired the team's owners to move them from Bismarck, North Dakota to Santa Cruz.
"I'm incredibly proud," Weyermann said after the game. "It's an inspiring moment in a life and you don't get many of those in a career. You don't get many opportunities to significantly change the landscape of a city. I really think that's what we did here tonight. We changed Santa Cruz forever."
The spirit was all over downtown as people went to restaurants and bars after the game ended at about 8 p.m. and talked about it on the streets.
"Thank you so much," one man said as he passed former Mayor Don Lane.

Valpo Manages Just One Doubles Win as Crusaders Fall to Idaho State
Tuesday, March 14, 2006Whitney Chada (Downers Grove, Ill./North H.S.) and Kate Evangelist (Glen Ellyn, Ill./Glenbard West H.S.) recorded the only victory of the afternoon for Valparaiso on Tuesday as the Crusaders dropped a 7-0 decision to Idaho State in Las Vegas, Nev.
The duo downed Armine Sarkavagyan and Anastasia Sazykina 8-5 at second doubles, but the Bengals took the other doubles contests to earn the first point of the match. Denise Cockrell and Lauren Pascoe defeated Rachel Janssen (Fort Wayne, Ind./Dwenger H.S.) and Jenny Schwartz (Aurora, Ill./West Aurora H.S.) in a tie-break 9-8 (5) at the top of the lineup while Katherine Zigars and Valerie Espinosa were 8-1 victors over Charmaine Stanislaw (Libertyville, Ill./Libertyville H.S.) and Jill Dierberg (Saint Louis, Mo./Lutheran North H.S.) at number three doubles.
In singles play, Idaho State (1-5) won all six contests in straight sets. Cockrell downed Janssen 6-4, 6-4 at number one while Sarkavagyan defeated Chada 6-1, 7-6 (5) at the second spot. Pascoe was a 6-4, 6-2 victor over Evangelist and Espinosa defeated Stanislaw 6-1, 6-1 at third and fourth singles respectively. Zigars posted a 7-6 (5), 6-2 win over Kim Sajevic (Woodbury, Minn./Woodbury H.S.) at fifth singles and Sazykina downed Schwartz 6-2, 6-3 at the bottom of the order.
