Sacramento, CA – African American election night victories in races for the California State Assembly resulted in a net gain of one and increased the California Legislative Black Caucus to nine members.
The Caucus has never had more than nine members since its founding in 1967, and is particularly proud of the election of representatives in districts where African Americans are not in the majority.
"I want to congratulate the newly elected African American legislators for breaking new ground and increasing our strength and collective voice in the California Legislature," said Senator Curren D. Price, Jr., Chair of the Black Caucus. "The Caucus was instrumental in helping achieve these victories and we are gratified."
The newly elected African Americans to the State Assembly are:
Cheryl Brown, 47th District
Chris Holden, 41st District
Reggie Jones-Sawyer, 59th District
Shirley Weber, 79th District
"Without the commitment and tireless support of Senator Price and the California Legislative Black Caucus, these electoral victories would not have been possible," said Brown.
Weber is the first African American ever elected to a state office from San Diego County. Also, Los Angeles County elected its first ever African American female District Attorney, Jackie Lacey.
"I think these election results are particularly important because they underscore the fact that African Americans can win elections in districts that are not traditionally represented by African Americans," said Senator Price. "Good elected representation has no color and we are proud to be a part of that progress both socially and politically."

All over the country, President Obama's supporters were rejoicing: horns blasting, people jumping in the air, hugging each other and celebrating as jubilant as four years ago, chanting in unison, "Four more years." It was a hard fought victory and the president got what he deserved: four more years.
Just before he went on the stage, he e blasted a thank-you to his millions of supporters stating, "I'm about to go speak to the crowd here in Chicago, but I wanted to thank you first. I want you to know that this wasn't fate, and it wasn't an accident. You made this happen. You organized yourselves block-by-block. You took ownership of this campaign five and ten dollars at a time. And when it wasn't easy, you pressed forward.
"I will spend the rest of my presidency honoring your support, and doing what I can to finish what we started. But I want you to take real pride, as I do, in how we got the chance in the first place. Today is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests. There's a lot more work to do.
"But for right now: Thank you."
This has been the costliest election in U.S. history and according to the results, the money seemed to have been well spent – the right man has been returned to the White House. At press time, the resident had 303 electoral votes, and Gov. Mitt Romney had 206. If one takes a long look into previous presidential campaigns and elections, the quality of the winner most times signals the right man for the time.
In the past, there have been major shifts between campaign rhetoric and the subsequent administration's reality. However, President Barack Obama's reality has stayed very close to his election promises, despite the adversity he has faced in his first four years. Now armed with a record of accomplishments, he can move forward and continue the work, as he explained, that he started four years ago.
Amidst a recalcitrant Congress, and a harsh, resistant environment, President Obama pushed through a massive healthcare reform bill (the Affordable Care Act), a feat that had eluded presidents since early in the 20th century, and simply said, "it was the right thing to do." Now, loosely called Obamacare, it has become his signature domestic policy achievement.
For that and numerous other less high-profiled achievements, the American electorate has given him four more years. In his concession speech, Republican presidential hopeful Gov. Romney very graciously told his supporters that he would "pray for Barack Obama's success in leading the nation. We have given our all."
In delivering his victory speech, President Obama said to the American people, "we have picked ourselves up and fought back during tough economic times, and the best is yet to come. We still have work to do."
Some of the President's accomplishments were echoed in the following statements:
"The Affordable Care Act is saving my daughter's life." Stacey, Arizona
"Obama is for the vets. He helped us wind down in Iraq, he's improved mental health policy with VA benefits." Joel, Minnesota
"Obama stuck his neck out for us, the auto industry. He wasn't going to let it just die, and I'm driving in this morning because of that, because of him." Brian, Ohio
"Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive." Vice President Joe Biden, Delaware
"Arithmetic." Former President Bill Clinton, New York
"He cares for the 100 percent." Shana, Texas
"When Obama came into office, he successfully renewed our country's place in the community of nations, making cooperation in tackling the world's challenges possible." Willis, North Carolina
"The actions he has taken with respect to protecting us from terrorism have been very, very solid." Former Secretary of State, General Colin Powell, Virginia
"For me, President Obama is our best choice because he has a vision of the United States as a place where we are all in this together." Bruce Springsteen, New Jersey
"He has a real plan for rescuing the economy that passes the 'math' test." Teresa, Virginia
"Having someone in office who understands how powerful our voice can be is very important."
Jay Z, New York
"I am voting for Barack Obama and Joe Biden because I can trust them to care for the middle class and restore the American dream." Steven, Florida
"I believe in the America he wants for my grandchildren." Nancy, Michigan
"We need four more years of repair, of helping the middle class achieve a sustainable economy."
James Taylor, North Carolina
"I've watched him fight for our country, stand by the middle class, the working class, the military, the education of our children, universal health care, women, the environment, and matters of national and domestic security." Susan, Virginia
"I want our president to place scientific evidence and risk management above electoral politics."
Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York
Post Election Comments on the Re-election of President Barack Obama
"President Obama campaigned on a vision of strengthening America's ladder of opportunity, expanding our middle class and making the investments that will ensure America's future prosperity. Tonight, this vision won.
"I would like to congratulate President Obama on his resounding victory. I look forward to working with him in the coming days and months to keep America moving in the right direction."
"The American public has sent President Barack Obama back to the White House. With the support of an energetic base of citizen donors and enthusiastic volunteers, President Obama won a decisive victory despite unprecedented spending by special interests that ran highly negative and often divisive ads.
"The president's reelection is a statement that our strength comes from our diversity and our ability to work together for the common good. And while we maintain our individual spirit and drive to succeed we understand that America is better off when we take care of each other."
The Los Angeles Urban League congratulates President Barack Obama, the First Family, Vice President Joe Biden and his family. We also congratulate the American people for participating in and supporting the democratic process.
This is our country and our success is dependent on each other. Let's move forward over the next four years to get past the divides and ensure prosperity for each and every one of us.
God bless the United States and the office of the president.
"I congratulate President Obama on his reelection as the leader of this great country. Every political office is an expression of public trust and carries the responsibility to work for justice and the common good — not only in our own country but also in the international community. So I pray that God will grant our President the wisdom he needs to carry out his duties, along with the virtues of honesty, courage, prudence and humility that are necessary for true public service."
"As faithful citizens, the Catholic community here in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the country stands ready to work with our president to fulfill the promise of America's founders."
"The importance of this election was far greater than casting a ballot for one candidate over another—as important as that exercise in democracy is. The American people voted today to create opportunity and shared prosperity by sharing responsibility, and to reject the cynical 'you're on your own' philosophy. The results of this election are a declaration by the American people that to rebuild a strong and vibrant middle class and ensure a voice for all, we all have to be in this together. Americans voted for a vision for our nation that says government has an essential role that includes protecting our families in times of crisis, investing in public schools as a foundation of our democracy, guaranteeing access to affordable healthcare, and ensuring retirement with dignity after a lifetime of hard work.
"On behalf of the 1.5 million teachers, healthcare workers, paraprofessionals and school-related personnel, higher education faculty and staff, and public employees of the American Federation of Teachers, I congratulate President Obama and Vice President Biden on their re-election."
"The American people have spoken, and have given President Obama four more years! With a clear voice, Americans rejected Romney's failed policies that put our country in dire straights, and said yes to the balanced leadership that has guided us out of that mess.
"As Co-Chair of the president's reelection campaign, it has been an honor to speak to people all across this country about the important choices we all faced in the voting booth this year. And all across the country, people saw the stakes and made the right choice for the middle class, our children and this nation's future. I congratulate President Obama on his reelection, and look forward to working with him to help move our country forward."

By Assemblymember Mike Davis
Anyone who tells you that the Three Strikes law in California should be credited for reducing or controlling violent crime is mistaken.
In fact, studies show that there is no correlation between Three Strike imprisonments and a drop in crime rates or recidivism. Counties that are inflexible about implementing the Three Strikes law saw an increase in violent crimes as compared to counties that have not been so strict.
Furthermore, national crime trends show states without the Three Strikes law have exhibited a drop in crime since the early 1990s.
So why not reform the Three Strikes law?
Mike Reynolds, the author of the Three Strikes law that passed in 1994, says that passing Prop. 36 would weaken it.
Not true. Prop. 36 is a modest reform to our current Three Strikes law. The law will continue to empower prosecutors to put violent repeat offenders in prison for life and sentence nonviolent offenders twice the ordinary prison term.
More importantly, as it was originally intended, crimes such as rape, murder and child molestation will not receive any benefit from the passage of Prop. 36. And, no prisoner will be released without resentencing in front of the judge.
Prop. 36 will make sure that the punishment fits the crime, so that precious financial resources are used effectively to impose life sentences for violent criminals. At this very moment, dangerous criminals are being released early from prison because jails are clogged up with non-violent offenders. We have to make more room in our prisons for violent criminals.
Prop. 36 was drafted by professors at Stanford Law School in conjunction with law leaders in California and lawyers at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. It is based on policy that was implemented by Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley. Other law enforcement leaders, professors, civil rights leaders and taxpayer advocates are supporting the proposition because the law today is costly, ineffective and unfair.
And as Assemblymember, I work hard to find ways to reduce our state budget deficit each year. It makes perfect sense to reform the law so that California saves upwards of $100 million dollars every year by making this modest reform.
Furthermore, three strikes reform in California will put our state in concert with the 22 other states in the country that have three strikes policies which require a violent and serious offense for every offense including the third strike. This is a just and fair policy.
So Vote Yes on Prop 36 because it is smart, fair and just.

Legendary athlete and respected businessman Earvin "Magic" Johnson endorsed Jackie Lacey for Los Angeles County District Attorney today.
Johnson joins a growing group of bipartisan business and community leaders in supporting Lacey in her bid to become Los Angeles County's next District Attorney.
"Jackie Lacey is, by far, the best candidate for Los Angeles County District Attorney," Johnson said. "She has a proven record of working with the community to implement groundbreaking programs that offer nonviolent offenders, including veterans, a one-time opportunity to turn their lives around. We need someone like Jackie who is innovative and dedicated to improving public safety for us all."

Vermont's new health care exchange is just months away from getting off the ground and a new startup says it has what it takes to compete with established insurance providers. But the Vermont Health Co-op has hit a major roadblock.
The Vermont Health Co-op has been organizing for a year and says it has a model that works. CEO Christine Oliver made her case to the public Wednesday afternoon. The move comes in response to a state ruling that argues otherwise. Last week, the state Department of Financial Regulation denied the company a license to offer insurance. The ruling argued the co-op's rate would be higher than other providers and would not attract enough customers to stay afloat.
Oliver says her model is sound and would give customers more options. She says the ruling came as a surprise.
"Probably the blindsiding of the decision itself, we've been working through the process for practically 10 months with the department of financial regulations, to get the denial with such a closed door seemingly attached to it was shocking," Oliver said. "Why in Vermont where we are leaders in health care reform, co-op capital of the world if you will, we can't find a way to make this work? I just can't believe that would be the answer here in Vermont."
Right now there are two providers on board to participate in the exchange including BlueCross BlueShield and MVP.
Oliver is hopeful the Department of Financial Regulation's Commissioner Susan Donegan will reconsider the ruling and let Vermont Health Co-op become the third.
I asked Oliver if she felt the state tried to influence this decision or if there was "pressure" from BlueCross and MVP leading to the license denial. She tells me she can't explain the rejection, saying there was pressure "somewhere" and the decision did not make sense to her.
The exchange-- called "Vermont Health Connect"-- is where self-insurers and businesses with 50 or fewer employees will need to purchase their insurance as part of the new federal mandate. That plan gets underway this October.

One is hard pressed to find media accounts of what the Congolese people want or how they believe that the United States could best play a constructive role in ending the suffering in the Congo. Considering that the United States has played a significant historical role in the stifling of the democratic aspirations of the Congolese people and the backing of the 1996 and 1998 invasions of the Congo by its allies, Rwanda and Uganda, which unleashed what the United Nations say is the deadliest conflict in the world since World War II, it is important to hear directly from the Congolese people regarding U.S. engagement in the Congo.

Federal prosecutors say two ex-Forsyth city councilmen have been sentenced to prison in a bribery scheme.
James Calloway and Desi Hansford were sentenced Tuesday in federal court.
Prosecutors say Calloway, who served as a council member for 22 years, has been sentenced to two years in prison. Hansford, who served as a councilman for five years, has been sentenced to 18 months.
Prosecutors say the two were part of the city's utilities committee, which oversees electric, water, sewer and telecommunications services in Forsyth.
Officials say Calloway solicited a $20,000 bribe in late December of 2012 to guarantee votes on a city water waste contract.
Prosecutors say Calloway split the money with Hansford and said part of his motive was to help Hansford rescue his home from foreclosure.

If you haven't heard, you're probably getting up from under a rock and just found out THE KINGS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS!! YAHOO!! Finally, the drought is over. It's been 8 years since the Los Angeles Kings had been in the playoffs. They go in as the sixth seed in the Western Conference and their opponent is Vancouver Canucks. I can't wait for game one on Thursday.
If anyone remebered the last time they faced each other, the Kings belted Luongo with 8 goals. Even though the Kings had only 3 wins in April so far, they showed some promising numbers.
Dustin Brown, the hottest Kings player in the month, has 6 goals and 4 assists.
Ryan Smyth has only 6 assists.
Anze Kopitar and Drew Doughty both have 1 goal and 4 assists.
Jack Johnson has 2 goals and 3 assists.
Justin Williams has 2 goals and 2 assist
Jarret Stoll has 3 goal and 1 assists
These are promising numbers and hopefully they continue in the playoffs, especially with a well rested Jonathan Quick in net.

The Chautauqua experience is based around one's engagement in five program areas: arts, education, religion, recreation, and youth. Start your day with a walk or run along the lake shore or with a trip to the Farmers Market for fresh fruit, vegetables, and other locally grown and made products.
Summer is waiting for you at Chautauqua.
Challenge yourself. Discover a hidden talent. Share the memories. Inspire a new generation.
Chautauqua Institution is a community on the shores of Chautauqua Lake in southwestern New York state that comes alive each summer with a unique mix of fine and performing arts, lectures, interfaith worship and programs, and recreational and lifelong learning activities.
Over the course of nine weeks, more than 100,000 visitors will stay at Chautauqua and participate in programs, classes and community events for all ages—all within the beautiful setting of a historic lakeside village.
The Chautauqua experience is based around one's engagement in five program areas:
The Arts
Chautauqua as a community celebrates, encourages and studies the arts and treats them as integral to all of learning. With symphony, opera, theater, dance, visual arts and a renowned music school, Chautauqua produces an "ecstatic mix" of programming and a summer concert series that can be found nowhere else. Read More...
Self-improvement through lifelong learning was at the heart of the impulse that motivated Americans and founded Chautauqua in 1874. That tradition continues today with a morning and afternoon lecture platform, continued education courses (Special Studies), the Chautauqua Literary & Scientific Circle book club, writers in residence, and a public library.
At Chautauqua, religious faith is perceived, interpreted and experienced as central to the understanding and expression of our social and cultural values. Chautauqua is a community that is open to all with a wide variety of services of worship and programs that express the Institution's Christian heritage and its interfaith commitment.
From adult to youth programs, Chautauqua has embraced the recreative experience and a healthy lifestyle as essential to the Chautauqua experience. Recreational opportunities include sailing, boating, fishing and swimming on Chautauqua Lake as well as a 36-hole golf course, fast-dry and hard-surface tennis courts, playing fields, playgrounds, fitness centers and cycling oppertunities.
Chautauqua's programs for youth present a diversity of activity, in settings varied and historic. From pre-school to day camp and Boy's and Girl's Club, from sports instruction to informal youth centers, from enrichment classes to entertainment, and from reading to experiences in the arts, these programs offer opportunities to explore the Chautauqua experience. At the same time, youth are encouraged to grow in independence, make choices, take responsibility and celebrate family time, all in the safe and supportive community that is Chautauqua.

Some of my friends and I were having this discussion last week as we reflected upon our time here at Cal and I thought it would be great to ask here as well.
The question is simply, what professor(s) and/or class(es) at Cal did you really like or was inspired or motivated by? And the opposite, which professor(s) and/or class(es) did you dislike. And by professor I mean actual professors, lecturers, GSIs, TAs, advisors, etc. Anyone who could've "taught" you something.
For me I'd have to say I really the class CS61C (it's a computer science class) taught by Dan Garcia. Now I'm controversial in this because many people I know HATED this class and really do not like Dan. But I believe otherwise. First of all I took this during my second semester at Cal and my first semester was an unmitigated disaster. I royally effed up my classes, had a low GPA, didn't have fun and definitely did not enjoy my classes. My only major related class I took was CS61A which for those who are not computer nerds like myself, is a very pure theory class. Now-a-days I happen to love CS theory, but back then I was so close to changing my major from EECS to something else (possibly History). And then I took 61C and the class just got me to love the major, love what I could learn (and did learn!), and most importantly saved my GPA from death. And it helped that Dan just oozed enthusiasm.
For best professor it has to be Professor David Wagner for CS170 that I took just this semester. The only time I actually saw a standing ovation by most of the class lasting for more than a few minutes! Not only was he pretty easy (at least his midterms were... damn me for getting too cocky with finals), and gave us some really nice homeworks and projects, he was just enthusiastic, had lame "oh my god why am I laughing" jokes and more. And most importantly he really cared (or at least that was what it looked like) that all of us learned. Whenever we asked him a question he'd go really in depth and make sure we understood. And when we asked a question in the newsgroup (sort of a message board that most of EECS folks use) he'd write an essay with diagrams and everything explaining until all of us understood. He'd even do this at 1AM, whereas most of my other professors barely answered or not at all. Honorable mention goes to Professor James O'Brien for rickrolling the class by pretending he had footage from Portal 2.
As for worst class and professor it would be Math 53 taught by Professor Givental. This class is the one that killed my freshman 1st semester's GPA. I guess I wasn't ready for the class as I had skipped your basic Calculus classes using AP stuff but still it shouldn't have been this bad. And it wouldn't have been if it weren't for Givental. Givental is a russian professor who had a really thick accent and terrible handwriting. That by itself isn't so bad, but he lectured every day about the THEORY of multivariable calculus and then expected us to write MATH ESSAYS (about the theory) for midterms and finals. These accounted for a large percentage of the grade unfortunately. To make matters worse he forgot that he was lecturing lower division kids and undergrads and would really just not help us understand anything. And for the final and midterms he'd give us math problems (after the essays) that we had never learned to solve!
Well that's my story.

A Message for All Chiefs Fans Traveling to Road Games
NFL games are turning into full out brawls. It seems my home state of California is particularly prone to such douchebaggery (I am not surprised in the slightest). I know a lot of us will be traveling to the game at SD next week, so I wanted to give everyone fair warning of what to expect from the fair-weather fanbase.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) held weighs ins for UFC Fight Night 26 earlier today (Aug. 16, 2013), and saw all the 26 fighters scheduled to compete on the card make weight, which means the 13-bout card that goes down tomorrow night at the TD Garden Arena in Boston, Massachusetts, is now official.
Conclusion of the weigh ins means tomorrow night's fights, headlined by a light heavyweight showdown pitting Mauricio Rua vs. Chael Sonnen, are one-step closer to becoming a reality. All that remains are the winners and losers to be determined inside the Octagon live on network television.

A word from Flagler Steakhouse
A refreshingly, modern spin on the classic social club, this transformed restaurant has re-imagined the traditional steakhouse experience and given Palm Beach's iconic, clubby legacy an irresistible new spirit. The stunning makeover by famed designer Adam D. Tihany (HMF, Per Se, Le Cirque 2000) evokes gorgeous, old-school luxury. But the expanded menu makes this restaurant much more than a destination for flawlessly prepared steaks — Palm Beach visitors and locals alike will also enjoy the array of mouthwatering alternatives (fish, Italian favorites, broiler items and savory sides), serious cocktails and an extraordinary list of Master Sommelier-selected wines. Al fresco seating on the climate-controlled terrace invites guests to enjoy ocean breezes and the panorama of The Breakers' Ocean Course. Food, drink, irresistible music, chicly dressed staff, and stylish interior design all come together to satiate the senses. Flagler Steakhouse welcomes you to the consummate clubhouse.Continued

- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/29/2014We visited Flagler Steakhouse a few years ago and had the best prime rib on the planet. Unfortunately, it was not on the menu this time. We ended up ordering steak which was very good but not any better than many other steakhouses. Prices were at the high end.Special Features:
- Over the topOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/27/2014This was a a lovely restaurant especially, if you are celebrating a special occasion. The steaks were excellent.Cooked exactly as requested. The service was attentive. However, you are paying for all of this . The prices were very high even for a steakhouse. We have dinned at Capital Grille, Abe & Louis's and New York Prime. All were good and less money.Special Features:
- Prices are inflatedSandPalmDined on 8/24/2014Overall a nice dinner. We sat outside. Atmosphere and Sinatra music was great. The food was not better than a Morton's, Capital Grill, or Ruth's Chris and the menu prices were much more. I would have rather gone to a high end chain steakhouse.Special Features:
- WonderfulBabyGDined on 8/23/2014From seating to departure everything was fantastic. I arrived 20 minutes early and the hosted insisted on finding a table she offered inside or outside dining. Of course, I wasn't sure so she walked me outside to check the balcony which was much quieter and the view of the golf course was breath taking. After seeing the view, and quiet setting, I dined outside. The wine list was excellent, service was top notch and the food was spot on. I'll be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Over priced!JerseyGirlDined on 8/23/2014The Flagler Steak house is extremely overpriced for what you get. The food is average and you get small portions. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. There are much better places to eat in Palm Beach!Special Features:
- PerfectionPattyVIPDined on 8/23/2014Our party of four had an absolutely perfect dining experience! Our server Gillian was upbeat, friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious - Heirloom Tomato Salad for the first course, Petite Filet, New York Strip and Branzino for the second course and Banana Split and Chocolate Layered Cake for the third course. We also shared two sides not to be missed - Caramelized Brussels Sprouts and Mac & Cheese. Compliments to the chefs as everything was cooked to perfection.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good steakTypicalresortVIPDined on 8/23/2014Good food but overpriced. Service was spotty. They did not mention that they added an automatic 20% Onto the bill which included wine.Special Features:
- Great SteakhouseaditothDined on 8/21/2014The service was professional and perfect. The menu had everything you want and expect from a classic steakhouse plus interesting combinations of those classics. The steak was excellent and the baked stuffed shrimp I had with it was divine! Lots of nice dessert choices but we passed (unfortunately)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing!SheilaVIPDined on 8/19/2014Loved it! Amazing steaks, service and overall experience. We will be back soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SpectacularSxoaDined on 8/8/2014Absolutely outstanding food at a similarly high price. We went in Florida's off season so it wasn't very busy when we got there (6:15) but it did start to pick up as the evening progressed. The service was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I would have liked to have seen a broader variety of international wines offered but there were plenty of different types of US wines to choose from. I only went once to dinner indoors so I can't speak to the brunch or outdoor scenes but given how great the rest of the place is, I can't imagine it being anything less than wonderful. I cannot overstate how amazing the food was, so if you've got the money to spend this would be an excellent place for an anniversary dinner or the like.Special Features:
- Best Steaks ever!PaddyDined on 7/24/2014We had a very delicious dinner with friends and 3 kids. Really great evening but the noise level was definately too high!Special Features:
- We love the New Falgler steak houseKimAndGreggVIPDined on 7/19/2014This was our first visit since the remodel. the restaurant is beautiful. My wife had a steak which was great. I had the veal parm and it was so melt in your mouth that i sent txt to my place back home that we need to make a road trip so they can make for me. The wine list is great. Greg the Sommelier is brilliant. See you again soon!Special Features:
- It's ok but keep lookinggr8fultraderDined on 7/18/2014This was my first time at Flagler for dinner. Service was great however it's the same type service you would expect to receive at Mortons or Chops. It didn't stand out to me. The food was good but not memorable. I had the most expensive steak on their menu $63, medium rare. I had that same steak at Frankie and Johnnies in New York City and I still haven't stopped talking about it. If you have had the delmonico at Capital, you talked about it for a week after dinner right? I have to say that next time dinner will be at Capital Grille and dessert at HMF. We went to HMF for dessert after Flagler for dinner and I was way more impressed with HMF's dessert service. Pick a different place for dinner. It was slow but it's off season.Special Features:

- Pricey but delicious!Jnr1071Dined on 7/11/2014Excellent food and service. Elegant and classy, one of the only restaurants in south florida where you can actually dress up so put on your dress and pumps and you will fit right in.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 7/6/2014This is not a steakhouse in any sense of the word. Meat is second rate, presentation is mediocre, do not char the steaks as is the norm in a true steakhouse. This is a fair, overpriced, hotel outlet trying to be something it is not.
- 4th of July family gatheringSpaQueenDined on 7/4/2014This is the 2nd year in a row we celebrated 4th of July at Flagler steakhouse. The outdoor patio is the place to be. After a magnificent dinner we were treated to a Birdseye view of the fireworks from Flagler drive. While the prefix price is expensive $110 per person, we were served a delightful array of high quality generous portion dishes that easily justified the cost. When you add in the outdoor ambience excellent friendly service and great fireworks show while seated eating key lime pie, the whole experience is worth every penny!!! Love this place and would go back again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Overpriced and Over-rated.NutmeggerDined on 7/2/2014Based on it's location in Palm Beach and part of the Breakers Resort, one would expect high prices. The quality of the food we had did not justify the price. Our steaks were way overcooked-they did deduct the price of one steak from the bill however. Wine list is comprehensive but expect to pay a big premium because of the Breakers reputation. Overall we were disappointed because the other restaurants we visited at the Resort were all excellent.Special Features:
- Flager's restaurant disappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 6/28/2014This restaurant has been one the highlights of our stay in palm beach since 2003. It was disheartening to find everything we enjoyed about it was no longer there. We all thought everything about the restaurant was perfect and cannot understand why they changed everything we loved aboutit. I know that we only visited twice a year, but we looked forward to it all year. I am sad to say we will not return.
- Quiet Surprise - Fabulous MealAlwaysOutDined on 6/26/2014When we booked dinner at the Breaker's Flagler Steakhouse we were not aware that it was outside the hotel and in the golf complex. We were skeptical. The old, opulent hotel is the big attraction here. When we arrived we were first seated at a tight table near the bar with a banquet / chair arrangement. It was not comfortable: the large table base allowed no room to position one's feet. The room is attractive and well appointed. Just didn't like the tables. We were offered seating outside on the veranda. Success! Beautiful view of the golf course at sunset with soft music and flying birds as entertainment. Filet Mignon with baked sweet potato and salmon with vegetable risotto were perfectly prepared. Desserts were large and delicious.Special Features:
- Always Great Experienceanonymous3856Dined on 6/26/2014We have been here 2 times. Each time the food is amazing, View out over the golf course is great and the staff is always doing everything they can to make your experience great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- anniversary dinnerBandbDined on 6/4/2014we requested a special table for our anniversary on open table. When the restaurant call to reconfirm we again stated or desire for a special table for our anniversary. You can imagine how surprised and disappointing it was to be seated next to a table for at least 10 people three of which were infants. As well, we were adjacent to a server's station. This is not what I would consider a special table for an anniversary dinner. when asked to move outside on to the porch which was much prettier and much more romantic we were easily accommodated. The service was good and we were not rushed through dinner. The food was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great food, terrible serviceFlaglerDined on 5/24/2014Usually Flagler Steakhouse is a 5-star experience all the way around. And it still was, except for the service, which was just terrible during our visit. What was worse was that my husband had called ahead and let them know it was a birthday dinner. They knew it was a special night, and it started out well, but once we were seated and got our drinks settled, our waiter disappeared. He came back to get our dinner orders, then we didn't see him again. We asked to have our leftovers boxed to go home, and he forgot all about them until we were paying our check. We had to ask for them. We'll go back, because we love this restaurant, but will run the other way if he's our server again.Special Features:

Parental involvement has long been touted by educational experts as a way to boost student performance in school.
A new report by the National School Boards Association's Center for Public Education backs up that theory. The center studied the research and compiled findings that point toward simple engagement strategies that can help advance student learning.
"Families working in close partnership with teachers can have a measurable impact on their child's academic achievement, particularly when they are focused on helping students do well in school," said Patte Barth, director of the center. "While parent involvement is no substitute for good classroom instruction, it can make the job much easier for everyone—teachers, parents, guardians, and students themselves."
What's the best way to get involved? Attend PTA meetings? Organize enrichment programs? Email your child's teacher frequently? The report suggests supporting learning at home—monitoring homework, for example—as a place to start. Patch surveyed local school administrators for some additional suggestions.
1. Ask pointed questions and solicit feedback about their day
, principal at , had suggestions on how to engage younger children in talking about their school days.
"The best way for parents to be involved in their children's education is to ask their children about their day. It isn't enough to ask 'how was school?' Ask them about the main ideas of a story they read, or to show you how they worked out a math problem," she said. "Ask them to describe playground interactions and how they worked in a group that day. Show your interest each day and let them know you care about what they are learning in school."
2. Be present for important school events
Joel Adelberg, principal at , said that there is a misconception that parents of high school students should become less involved as they help their teenagers get ready for college.
"Parents always say to me that they are not going to be there when their kids are in college, but I say to them, 'well, we're not there yet.' My message to parents is that the stakes are even higher in high school and parents need to stay involved," Adelberg said.
Adelberg said that involvement at school means being present for school functions including back to school night and parent teacher conference. Supporting extracurricular activities such as plays, concerts and sports are important.
3. Stay informed
Many schools use teacher websites, school websites and e-newsletters to keep parents informed—use them to learn about all that is happening at your child's school.
Adelberg also suggested parents stay on top of what their teenagers are up to, what they are learning, and what they are reading. "Our students study relevant topics. They are capable of interesting and engaging conversations," he said.
4. Help your kids come to school ready to learn
Parents can do much to make sure their kids arrive at school ready to learn, said Kate Branch, a school nurse at
"Providing a healthy breakfast every morning, ensuring nine to 10 hours of sleep each night and minimizing screen time are basic things you can to to help," said Branch.
Packing healthy snacks and lunch and reminding kids to wash their hands can help prevent them from catching viruses floating around. Minimizing screen time doesn't hurt, and for the little ones, Branch recommended teaching kids to tie their shoes, which may be forgotten in a shoe market crowded with velcro.
6. Keep communicating
One of the six types of parent involvement cited in the report was communication, where parents are kept up-to-date with their child's progress and given opportunities to communicate with the school.
Local educators agreed and all mentioned keeping in close contact with your child's teachers, guidance counselor, and, when necessary, principal.

Ford Mustang HistoryHome » Mustang History » 1972
1972 Ford Mustang
A standard hardtop is the top-seller, as the Mustang exterior is almost entirely a carryover. A unique design element for this generation of the hardtop is the sail panels, which sweep the length of the rear deck. While the 1971 Mustang had "MUSTANG" in block letters across the width of the decklid, the 1972 model had a small "Mustang" script on the right side of the decklid.
Government regulations required changes in the way engines were rated, and while the output remained the same from 1971, the horsepower ratings dropped damaging the image of the Mustang as a muscle car.
The engine lineup is pared to five. Notable is absence of the Boss 351. A detuned 351 cid V8 does little to allay the fact that a bigger, if ungainly, car works against the grain of the performance enthusiast. And, at this point, who else is there? Sales fall to 119,920 for the '72 model year.
Tighter emissions standards lessen the possibilities for performance while making a stronger argument for styling and luxury. Woodgrain trim and vinyl finished seats and one touch convertible roof controls become prime selling points.
Mustang celebrated the 1972 Olympics in Los Angeles with the Mustang Sprint. Sprints were white with blue rocker panel paint, hood stripes, and seat inserts and a USA shield on the rear quarter panel. All of the cars came with the standard "dog dish" hubcaps, but most owners have replaced them with Magnum 500 wheels. Ford made 800 Sprint fastbacks, and 50 convertibles were made for the Washington, D.C. Cherry Blossom Festival. It was recently learned that 6247 Sprint coupes were also offered.

Texas Tech's first game of the season is only three days away and Red Raiders across the South Plains are gearing up for the big weekend. You can expect a big change on the field this year. After 23 years, Goin' Band Director Keith Bearden stepped down and now a new leader takes the reigns.
You've heard the saying 'they march to the beat of their own drum' but in this case, the Goin' Band from Raiderland is marching under the direction of a new leader. Christopher Anderson, has taken charge of the Goin' Band. He comes to Raiderland after three years at Stephen F. Austin. So he has the experience, but also has big shoes to fill.
"It's a little bit intimidating, when you come in and someones been in place for 23 years they have all of their massive history and everybody associates the going band with Keith Bearden right now and I think that's tough for anyone, but Mr. Bearden has given such great dedication and support to the program that he set up the students very well for the transition and he's been a great support for me," said Christopher Anderson, the TTU Band Director.
The Goin' Band is one of the largest in the South West, they march more than 400 members, and its takes serious dedication, pride and determination to make it work.
"I think they've done a great job, one of the hardest things to do is to move into a new system when you've been under an old system for a very long time like some of the veteran members have been and they have been extremely flexible with the new system, they've asked a lot of questions and their attitude has been fantastic," says Anderson.
The band is opening with a western show, a theme they've traditionally chosen every two or three years. They say fans can expect high energy music and songs everyone loves. "It's been really really exciting because Mr Anderson has so many great new ideas, and he's clarifying a bunch of stuff and it's been really exciting," said Julie Darling, a third year band member.
"Its been a big change, Mr Bearden leaving was a big shock to everybody and we all miss him a lot. But Mr Anderson came in kicking and he's done an excellent job of incorporating our traditions and bringing in new things," David Ehmer, a 5th year band member said.
Band members started practicing Sunday and they've been goin strong ever since, they practice 8 to 10 hours a day, until game time.

NASHVILLE (AP) - Democrat Terry Adams has announced he will run for the U.S. Senate next year.
Adams is a Navy veteran and a Knoxville attorney. He said in a release Monday that his campaign will seek to capitalize on infighting within the Republican Party, where state Rep. Joe Carr is challenging incumbent U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander for the nomination.
Adams noted that Democrats have prevailed in other states where tea party candidates bested establishment Republicans in the primary.
Adams' campaign treasurer is Nashville attorney Bob Tuke, a former state Democratic Party chairman who unsuccessfully ran against Alexander in 2008.
Others who have already announced for the race include Democrat Larry Crim and Republican Brenda Lenard.

"I've made sure I've been positive"
2:49pm Wednesday 21st November 2012 in Sport By Andy Carswell, Reporter
BLUES boss Gareth Ainsworth revealed the secret behind success at Rotherham - watching his own post-match interview from Saturday's loss at Northampton.
He said he wasn't his usual upbeat self after a 3-1 defeat at Sixfields and felt his black mood might rub off onto his players.
Since then he's been having nothing but positive thoughts - and he said that was key to securing a 3-2 win in Yorkshire on Tuesday night.
Ainsworth said: "I was a bit down in the interview after the game on Saturday. I thought, 'that's not me, I'm positive', so I've made sure I've been positive from the moment I stopped talking to you lot [the press] and been getting them all back up again.
"It was really important I had to lift the spirits."

Camacho a major player in Frontier
What Joe Camacho did on his summer vacation had nothing to do with a vacation.
"No days off at all," Camacho says, looking back on his offseason, and how he spent it preparing for his senior year on the Santa Paula High football team. "It was straight working on my own: 5 o'clock in the morning, going to work" — part time with his father — "going to practice when we weren't in the dead period. No vacation at all."
The dedication to an offseason of weightlifting and constant work on his speed, agility and jumping ability are a good indication why Camacho figures to be a key figure as Santa Paula tries to defend its Frontier League title. It's also what earned him a share of the league's defensive player of the year honors as a junior, when he had 151 tackles (91 solo, 60 assists) to help the Cardinals to an 8-3 record.
"He was hands-down the best defensive player in the league last year," says Santa Paula coach Teohua Sanchez, "and I believe one of the best, if not the best, linebackers in the county. He was a CIF champion in wrestling. He's a three-sport athlete. He's the hardest-working kid on the team."
Opposing coaches certainly respect Camacho's impact.
Fillmore's Matt Dollar notes the Flashes' wing-T offense is a tough one for a middle linebacker — "He's depending on his corners and outside linebackers and defensive ends to blow things up and turn it back inside to him," says Dollar, "and we don't like to turn things back inside" — but that just means the Flashes are doing what opponents would have to do, anyway, to deal with Camacho.
"A guy like that, you want to keep the ball away from him anyway," says Dollar. "He's a power type of linebacker. Fast linebackers, you want to run right at them. People like that, you try to keep the ball away."
Grace Brethren coach Terry Gourley agrees.
"We don't design an offense around a (defensive) guy," says Gourley, "but I'm not going to be stupid. I can't make play-call mistakes and put Camacho in a hero position. At some point, we want to put him in that position and overwhelm him try to get him in a position where he's trying to do too much, basically.
"But clearly, he's the key guy we've got to deal with on their defense."
If that was true last year, it's even more true this year, when Camacho and middle-linebacking partner Joe Morales are the Cardinals' only two returning full-time starters.
"Since we've got a lot of players gone this year" — the team graduated 35 seniors — "it's like I've got bigger shoes to fill," says Camacho. "There's more responsibility, not just in my spot, but in knowing everybody's spot, and leading by example, showing no fear."
His leadership — "quiet leadership," says Sanchez — means taking an active role with the young defense.
"I've been here long enough to know pretty much all of the positions," says Camacho, who will be in his fourth year as a starter. "So if someone's lined up wrong, I just put them in the right direction."
Camacho's abundant athleticism was evident last year when he won the CIF-Southern Section Inland Division wrestling title at 215 pounds — the first Santa Paula wrestler to win a CIF title — and it's certainly clear on the football field, as well. Sanchez notes his linebacker went to USC's combine and "popped a 32-inch vertical, and 4.9 (second 40-yard dash) legit digital time, and he felt pretty tight on that. He's been timed at a legit 4.8, so that beast is coming at you full-speed ahead.
"He has a great wingspan, tackles well in traffic. That's one of the things college recruiters all love about him, that he tackles well in closed spaces."
His athleticism and ability has a number of WAC and Mountain West colleges expressing interest, but one thing it doesn't do is put Camacho on the field as an offensive player. Sanchez is a firm believer in not having any two-way starters.
"I accept it," says Camacho. "I have no say in it, but I hate the idea. I played offense my sophomore year, and that was when we played Oaks Christian and Oak Park and all those pretty much Division I schools. It's like knowing I could do good on offense, and not just on defense but there's no way that's going to happen. He won't let it."
Which is not to say Camacho doesn't understand the logic behind that choice.
"It gives everyone a chance, definitely," he says, "lets everyone have a chance to shine."
Camacho, certainly, will have his chances.
"He's phenomenal," says Sanchez. "In one game in league, he made six straight tackles, solo. He's just all over the field."

We have discussed here previously how little experience the Cubs' major league coaching staff has, at least in terms of managing. Many other teams have experienced major league managers as bench coaches, or elsewhere on their coaching staffs.
While the Cubs do have coaches with significant major league coaching experience (Rudy Jaramillo has 16 years as a batting coach; Mike Quade had seven-plus years as a base coach), there are no former MLB managers on Quade's staff.
This inexperience has, in my opinion, shown at various times this year via bad decisions made, some of which have cost the Cubs games.
Just how little managerial experience does this staff have compared to other teams? I took a look at all the MLB coaching staffs and put together the information you'll see after the jump. The numbers are the number of years that each man had as a major league manager before the 2011 season. In some cases I rounded "up" -- i.e. gave him credit for a full year if he managed most of a season. If not, I'll mention the number of games or just put a "+" after the number of years to indicate a small fraction of an additional season.
The results are illuminating.
Cardinals: Tony LaRussa (32 years)
Tigers: Jim Leyland (19 years), Gene Lamont (8 years), Lloyd McClendon (5 years)
Reds: Dusty Baker (17 years)
Giants: Bruce Bochy (16 years)
Nationals: Davey Johnson (15 years), Pat Corrales (9 years)
Marlins: Jack McKeon (15 years)
Orioles: Buck Showalter (12 years), Willie Randolph (4 years)
Angels: Mike Scioscia (11 years)
Red Sox: Terry Francona (11 years)
Phillies: Charlie Manuel (9 years), Sam Perlozzo (3 years), Pete Mackanin (2 years), Juan Samuel (51 games)
Rockies: Jim Tracy (9 years)
Twins: Ron Gardenhire (9 years)
Pirates: Clint Hurdle (8 years), Nick Leyva (3 years)
Royals: Ned Yost (7 years), John Gibbons (4 years)
Mariners: Eric Wedge (7 years)
Athletics: Bob Melvin (7 years)
White Sox: Ozzie Guillen (7 years)
Mets: Terry Collins (6 years)
Rays: Joe Maddon (6 years)
Yankees: Joe Girardi (4 years), Larry Rothschild (3+ years)
Braves: Fredi Gonzalez (4 years), Carlos Tosca (3 years)
Padres: Bud Black (4 years), Glenn Hoffman (88 games)
Rangers: Ron Washington (4 years)
Indians: Manny Acta (4 years)
Astros: Brad Mills (1 year), Al Pedrique (83 games)
Diamondbacks: Kirk Gibson (83 games), Don Baylor (9 years), Alan Trammell (3 years)
Cubs: Mike Quade (37 games)
Brewers: Ron Roenicke (0), Jerry Narron (4 years), Dale Sveum (12 games)
Blue Jays: John Farrell (0), Don Wakamatsu (2 years)
Dodgers: Don Mattingly (0), Davey Lopes (2+ years), Trey Hillman (2+ years)
What jumps out at you? Absolutely, it's the fact that Mike Quade, fourth from the bottom of the list in terms of managing experience before the 2011 season, has absolutely no one on his staff who is a former major league manager. The other four men with less than a year's experience coming into this year all have men with previous managing experience on their coaching staffs to help them out. Even the 12 games managed by Dale Sveum count for something, because he was asked to finish out the 2008 season for the Brewers with the team fighting for the wild card (which they did win).
Further, while there are other managers with more experience who don't have experienced coaches on their staffs, there are nearly as many who do. Jim Leyland, who's second in current managerial tenure, has two former managers on his staff. Charlie Manuel, who has been in two World Series in the last three years, has three former managers to help him out.
It's clear that this year's Cubs team doesn't have the talent to compete in the NL Central. But the lack of experience of the coaching staff has, as I mentioned above, helped lead to some decisions that may have cost even this not-so-great team some games. It would have been useful to give an inexperienced manager an experienced bench coach, or base coach, or someone who had been through this before.

Science fest gets a nod
The San Diego Science Festival and Agilent Technologies, a major sponsor of the Festival, were recently recognized for their efforts to increase student interest and achievement in science education by President Obama's nationwide "Change the Equation (CTEq)" initiative, which seeks to improve science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in the United States.
Established in 2009, the San Diego Science Festival's mission is to focus awareness on the importance of STEM education among San Diego's youth, and to inspire them to pursue careers in these rewarding fields. Organized by UCSD and community collaborators, the Festival is the largest celebration of science on the West Coast. The 2011 Science Festival will take place March 19-26, offering engaging, hands-on science activities and demonstrations to excite the minds of students, families and members of the community.
