NEW ORLEANS -- In a flowery filing written like the opening monologue from a spaghetti Western, disgraced former Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard asked a federal judge to vacate his 46-month prison sentence on constitutional grounds. (See court filing)
Attorney Arthur 'Buddy' Lemann argued that Broussard's Sixth Amendment rights were violated because revelations of prosecutorial misconduct by then-top members of the U.S. Attorney's Office were not unearthed until after Broussard had pleaded guilty and received his sentence.
'Mr. Broussard's Lone Ranger was unable to appraise this Court of the true nature and landscape of the Eastern District's Wild West,' Lemann wrote. 'The old sheriff's posse had removed the sign posts on their way out of town, and the secrets known to the local U.S. Attorney's Office, the Department of Justice and Section N of the local U.S. District Court were harder to come by than a cool drink of water in the Mojave.'
The 'Lone Ranger' was Broussard's former attorney, Robert Jenkins, who attached an affidavit to the filing stating that he provided 'ineffective counsel' because key information was withheld by the U.S. Attorney's Office run by the man Lemann calls the 'old sheriff' Jim Letten and his 'posse' of online commenters Jan Mann and Sal Perricone. (See affidavit)
Jenkins' willingness to fall on the sword may be a sign of his appeal strategy in the recent conviction of former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin. Jenkins has said that as-yet unreleased information about supposedly additional improper online comments would give Nagin a 'nuclear bomb'with which to challenge his 20-count conviction.
Lemann concluded by saying he is ready to give Broussard the proper defense with a 'new sheriff in town,' referring to new U.S. Attorney Kenneth Polite.
Broussard pleaded guilty in 2012 to conspiracy to give his girlfriend a no-work job so they could reel in hundreds of thousands of dollars, and to theft for the extra pay she collected. Broussard was sentenced in February 2013, less than two months after Letten left office under a cloud related to his top deputies' postings on nola.com, under stories related to several federal cases.
But Lemann's filing and Jenkins' affidavit make no allegations about specific postings related to Broussard. Rather, they suggest that Mann's conduct investigating the online posting scandal is material to whether Broussard would have pleaded guilty.
They both claim that Mann had made Letten aware of her own misconduct in 2012 and Letten had kept it secret from all defense attorneys, although whether Mann really informed Letten of what she had done is actually in dispute.
Broussard began serving his 46-month sentence in May 2013 and is scheduled for release in September 2016. He was recently moved from Georgia to a low-security correctional facility in Tallahassee.

I went to the Salty Pig this afternoon for lunch - what an experience - NOT GOOD!
I ordered a sandwich with chips. While waiting I watched the bartender prepare a drink.
Instead of using a spoon, the bartender "picked out" an ingrediant with his bare hands/fingers!
He didn't wash those hands before OR after making that drink!
Then after the drink is made one waitress stuck a straw in it and sucked up a taste!
Another waitress came over, put a straw in the same drink, topped the straw and the removed the straw to taste the drink from the straw (the proper way).
After the fingers and the backwash - off to the unknowing customer!
Then there was that 5lb slab of prosciutto left sitting on the deli slicing machine - room temperature - not good.
Then my sandwhich arrived (with a side salad - not the chips I had requested)
At the end of the meal your check is placed in a little black book with mostly blank pages. As I leafed through it I noticed a number of reviews of the food and service - I wish I had read them first! It sounded like a lot of people had a similar experience.

CBI director Ranjit Sinha is allegedly stalling or delaying the filing of the charge sheet in the Aircel-Maxis probe, even as rest of the CBI team - legal and investigating - have unanimously recommended a charge sheet against former telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran.
According to CBI sources, officers from the rank of investigating official to additional director working on the Aircel-Maxis probe opined that the CBI has prima facie enough evidence to charge-sheet Dayanidhi Maran. Ranjit Sinha, however, is not convinced saying `evidence is not beyond reasonable doubt'.
CBI's status report recommending a charge sheet against Maran was ready to be presented in the Supreme Court way back in September 2013. But it is stuck now because Sinha sent it to Attorney General GE Vahanvati for his legal opinion. Vahabvati sent it back to the CBI director in February 2014, saying that it is a Supreme Court-controlled case and thus, it doesn't require his legal opinion.
But Sinha sent back the status report to Vahanvati on the grounds that he had even earlier sent Supreme Court-controlled cases for AG's opinion. The status report is still with Vahanvati, even as the Supreme Court has now asked the CBI to place the status report on May 1.
Ranjit Sinha told dna that Aircel-Maxis case is still under `legal scrutiny and thus, the CBI would not be able to place it in the Supreme Court on May 1. Asked if he is the lone dissenter in the Aircel-Maxis case, he said: "It's all nonsense. What does lone dissenter in the case mean? I am chief of the agency and I know what needs to be done."
Not everyone is convinced about the reasons for the delay or the CBI director's role. "The CBI director is being dishonest. The whole system has colluded to help Maran. It is a simple quid-pro-quo matter and the agency should submit the charge sheet in the court," said advocate Prasant Bhushan, who represents Centre for Public Interest Litigation, an NGO that had filed documents in the Supreme Court alleging that Maran had indirectly forced C Sivasankaran to sell that company to Maxis Group. The CBI had started preliminary inquiry into Aircel-Maxis deal on January 4, 2011, and nine months later on October 9, had registered the FIR.
CBI sources disclosed that the Aircel-Maxis case is rock solid and it is not for the CBI to kill a case on grounds of `reasonable judicial doubt' principle. It is for the court to decide if the CBI charge sheet is beyond reasonable judicial doubt. The CBI has solid evidence despite the fact that the Malaysian government did not respond to two letter rogataries request of the CBI.
In what is known as the Aircel-Maxis case, Dayanidhi Maran, DMK MP who was also communications minister in UPA -1, was accused of sitting on Aircel's applications for telecom licences and spectrum in more circles till after its owner C Sivasankaran sold it to Maxis. The allegation is that Dayanidhi did not want Sivasankaran to get licences and wanted to favour Maxis for an alleged quid pro quo.
Is there evidence that Maran forced the onwer of the applying company to sell stake to another company in Malayasia which, in turn, paid a kick back to Sun TV for the favour? Actually there is and the many CBI officers are convinced they have a watertight case.
The CBI has C Sivasankaran's statement under section 164, which is admissible in the court of law. C Sivasankaran, in his statement, has alleged that Maran foreced him to sell his stake in the company to Malaysian-based Maxis Group owned by business tycoon T Ananda Krishnan.
In 2005, Sivasankaran had applied for 14 telecom licences in cash-rich circles. Maran, however, did not entertain his application and rather issued show cause notices in an apparent attempt to either delay or block the application. In 2005, while Maran was in the minister of telecom, Sivasankaran in a letter to Maran wrote that "some powerful element in the ministry were sabotaging his applications of new licenses."
Soon after the Maxis took over, Maran's ministry ignored all the show-cause notices and issued all the UAS licenses in cash rich circles and within nine days (between 20 and 29 November 2006) Aircel became the eighth largest telecom company in the country.
In February 2007, four months after the licences were granted to Maxis-Aircel, Ananda Krishnan through one of his companies, South Asia Entertainment Holding Ltd (SAEHL) invested Rs600 crore in Sun Direct TV Pvt Ltd run by Maran's brother Kalanidhi and his wife Kaveri Maran. The equity investment was cleared by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs. The Maran family was allotted about 12.6 crore additional equity shares in Sun Direct TV to maintain their total equity at 80 per cent.
The second evidence is that CBI investigators have obtained a reply from Mauritius to establish money trail from Maxis-Aircel to Sun Direct through Mauritius-based investment companies. Information obtained from Mauritius has details about the unsecured loans of Rs117 crore that Kalanidhi's (Dayanidhi's brother) company received from a Mauritius-based company DE Shaw Composite Investments.
Sinha, however, denied having received any communication from Mauritius. Top CBI sources, however, confirmed that Mauriatian authorities did respond and sent the necessary documents but the Malaysian government did not respond to CBI's request, for information about payments to Kalanidhi Maran.
CBI officials draw parallels between the alleged Aircel quid pro quo with the Kanimozhi case, where CBI itself, had listed as many as 14 reasons to buttress their claim that the Rs200 crore equity investment/ loan in Kalaignar TV was not a genuine business transaction but a wuid pro quo.

Jose Bautista has 64 homers in his last 162 games and no one else has more than 42
May 16, 2011, 11:19 AM EDT
After destroying the Twins over the weekend Jose Bautista has an MLB-high 16 homers this season and also leads the AL in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS, runs, total bases, and walks.
People keep expecting him to turn back into a pumpkin and Bautista keeps performing even better.
In fact, dating back to May of last season Bautista now has 64 home runs in his last 162 games, hitting .291 with a .400 on-base percentage, .700 slugging percentage, 119 walks, and 131 RBIs in one full season's worth of playing time.
Here are the MLB leaders during that same span:
HOMERS RBIs SLUGGING JOSE BAUTISTA 64 JOSE BAUTISTA 131 JOSE BAUTISTA .700 Albert Pujols 42 Alex Rodriguez 129 Josh Hamilton .646 Mark Teixeira 40 Miguel Cabrera 123 Joey Votto .603 Miguel Cabrera 38 Ryan Howard 123 Miguel Cabrera .596 Prince Fielder 38 Joey Votto 120 Troy Tulowitzki .590
To lead baseball in homers with 64 when no one else has more than 42 is amazing enough, but to do that while also leading baseball in walks is remarkable. Bautista has homered once every 8.9 at-bats, which would rank ninth all time on the single-season leaderboard behind a bunch of years from Babe Ruth, Barry Bonds, and Mark McGwire.
And his dominance actually stretches further back than 162 games. Dating back to September 5, 2009 he's hit .278/.398/.659 with 80 homers in 220 games. Albert Pujols ranks second with 53 homers during that time.

- cur68 - May 16, 2011 at 1:28 PM
So what are you, his mom? I like the guy; he's the best player on his team, maybe in baseball & up to the last year and a half no one even heard of him. I've been watching him play for 3 years now and seen this coming so I feel like I knew something you didn't. Feel very free to ignore all I write about him. Feel very free to ignore me and stay off my wiener, too. I'd appreciate it. In fact allow me to start by paying you that favor from here out.

He was such an easy steal at #2 in fantasyland.
- The Dangerous Mabry - May 16, 2011 at 1:21 PM
One great effect of situations like this is they show us that maybe, just maybe, everyone hollering about PEDs in the past were overstating the case. Let's assume (and I've no reason to believe otherwise) that Bautista's a clean ballplayer. Doesn't that mean it's possible that someone like Brady Anderson was a clean ballplayer? Or even if players with that sort of trajectory were using substances of some kind, that maybe the substance wasn't wholly responsible for their dramatic improvement in a short period of time? If a clean player can experience such a meteoric rise after several years of kicking around in relative obscurity, doesn't that mean that a "dirty" player could as well, and that the effect could largely be based on their own merits, hard work, and yes, good fortune?
I don't want to take anything away from what Bautista's doing, and everyone should enjoy it because it's great baseball, so don't let me distract people from that. I'm just saying that when players have made this kind of progress at any time, it should have been something to celebrate, just as it is now.

Or maybe, just maybe, he's figured out a way to beat the test . . . . . .
- Chris Fiorentino - May 16, 2011 at 1:52 PM
I sarcastically asked "Why is Bautista getting to do ALL the Steroids?" and it got lost in the internets I guess…
- ryanmallettsbluntwrap - May 16, 2011 at 2:03 PM
I guess i will leave you and your man crush alone for now . Best of luck to the two of you .

Over the last 12 months we've seen natural wonders and the passion of the human spirit.
A few examples: Jim Holden's Fish for Life took special needs kids ocean fishing; the Over the Hump Mountain Bike Series offered weekday racing; Bill Leach continued with his amazing triathlons; Big Baz Hawley race directed his Saddleback Trail Marathon and winter trail series; Kat Swigart rode horses across Mongolia and we had the opportunity to meet at the O.C. Heroes speaker series.
The only challenge about compiling a best of year list was narrowing the field. Here are my final picks:
Coolest event
O.C.B.S.A. party
This year marked the 100th birthday of the Boy Scouts of America. The Orange County chapter celebrated the centennial with a four-day party Nov. 11-14 at Prado Regional Park in Chino. Some 7,000 scouts and adults camped overnight and anther 5,000 people visited during the day.
The event honored the goals of scouting with displays and activities covering physical fitness, environmental awareness, conservation, national heritage, leadership, teamwork and resourcefulness.
Most awesome race director
Paul "Ratt" Rudman
With numerous testimonials about his successful mud runs at Irvine Lake, Paul Rudman tops my list this year.
Dubbed the "chairman of mud," I first met Rudman in the late 1990s during an adventure race. Over more than two decades, Rudman has finished the epic Eco Challenge adventure race, raced in 16 Los Angeles marathons, played rugby regularly and raced in 50- and 100-mile trail runs. In 2000, he designed the course for the first Catalina Adventure Challenge.
This past year, he was the race director for the new 5K mud runs at Irvine Lake, which included events in April, July and October. His next family-friendly mud run is April 10 near Irvine Lake off Santiago Canyon Road. For more information, irvinelakemudrun.com.

John and Ryan Dahlem, John, 67 from Huntington Beach, Ryan, 40, of Aliso Viejo.
Denise and Paul Fejtek, Newport Beach; Paul has brachial plexus palsy.

Good, good
. I'm even keener to get my hands on one, bring on February/March which is when my local Pro-level demo store gets the frames in (I'm in Aus, official launch of the 335 is March here).
Given the almost identical other specs, and the change in HL as I'd pointed out, I was thinking indeed this may be the case
I may never have even wondered this except for a thread a few months back when Vantage was the flavour of the...time
, and a few of us realised that a large part of the 'model range / customisation' in Vantage frames comes from different handles with the same frames, in fact they may have as few as 10 actual frames that are then cut to different lengths, modified with different handles (style and weight), etc etc. Most of their frame sizes don't even offer different drill patterns (in fact, only 1 frame size does), but clever marketing makes you think they do.
None of the above makes me in any way negative against Vantage, I just feel I understand it better, and it has made me look for similar things in other frames. In the case of TFights, it makes me even happier, as I'm now pretty sure I can get the 320s, and if really unhappy, get my MRT to make them into 335s
. I'll now also probably get 3/8s instead of 1/2s (I'm normally in the middle), possibly leaving me with 328s after a heat-shrink!

Top 14 Moments at the National Archives in 2013
Wow–what a year! Our editorial panel tried to limit this list to ten, but eventually we gave up and picked 14 instead. (For more great National Archives moments, check on out the Top 10 Innovative Moments of 2013.)
We also want to send a big thank you to the staff members of the National Archives across the nation, who worked so hard to make these moments possible.

40th Anniversary of the Fire in the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis
If you have served in the U.S. military, your file is part of the holdings in the National Archives in St. Louis. Each year, staff respond to one million requests for direct military benefits and entitlements from veterans and their next of kin. In the Research Room, staff pulled more than 41,000 military personnel records.
And Preservation Programs in St. Louis responded to more than 200 daily requests for burned Army and Air Force records. The fire that swept through the sixth floor of the National Personnel Records Center on July 12, 1973, damaged and destroyed millions of documents. Each … [ Read all ]

American Archives Month: Valoise Armstrong, Eisenhower Presidential Library
We continue with celebrating American Archives Month by showcasing some of our amazing archivists in the Presidential Libraries.
This post takes continues our journey through the heartlands of America: Abilene, KS.
Name: Valoise Armstrong
Occupation: Archivist at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum
How long have you worked at this library?
After working for five years at the National Archives at Seattle office, I transferred to the Eisenhower Library in July 2004.
How/why did you decide to go into the archival field?
I went to college many years after I graduated from high school and majored in my passion, which is history. I didn't have any desire to teach, but being an archivist was a way I could immerse myself in history every day, so it was a very easy choice to focus on Archival Management in graduate school.
What are some of your responsibilities at your library?
I am responsible for three main areas in our archival operations: I am in charge of manuscript preservation activities; I maintain our oral history collection; and I oversee all of my library's entries in the National Archives online description catalog. Among the duties shared by all the archivists at my library, I also answer reference questions, work with researchers in the research room, assist with … [ Read all ]

American Archives Month: Matthew Schaefer, Hoover Presidential Library
October is American Archives Month! Although we're partway through October, there's still time to celebrate the archivists from our Presidential Libraries. The series kicks off with a trip to the heartlands of America: West Branch, IA.
Name: Matthew Schaefer
Occupation: Outreach archivist for the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum
How long have you worked at this library?
Eleven years.
How/why did you decide to go into the archival field?
While working on my dissertation, I took a "temporary" job in archives to pay the bills. My plan was to keep the archives gig until I earned my degree, then join the professoriate. After 25 years and three institutions, I am ready to acknowledge that I am an archivist.
What are some of your responsibilities at your library? What do you like best about your job?
The thing that I like best about my job is the variety of tasks that fall to me. This meshes well with my short little span of attention. My duties at the Hoover include organizing conferences, working with professional organizations, and keeping the library in the public eye. I also manage the reference room, do collection management tasks, and serve as lookout for zombies.
Tell us about a time something unusual or unexpected happened to you in your line of work.… [ Read all ]

Putting together a Presidential Library is a really, really big job
In 1939, President Roosevelt donated his personal and Presidential papers to the Federal Government, marking the beginning of the modern Presidential Library system that is part of the National Archives. Seventy-four years later, the newest Presidential Library holds more documents than FDR could have imagined.
The George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum holds more than 70 million pages of textual records, 43,000 artifacts, 200 million emails (totaling roughly 1 billion pages), and 4 million digital photographs (the largest holding of electronic records of any of our libraries).
Collecting this material, cataloging and processing it, and making it available to the public was a task that began on January 20, 2009.
As a Presidential administration nears its end, the National Archives works with the White House and the Department of Defense (DOD) to begin organizing, boxing, and moving a huge amount of Presidential materials out of various locations in Washington, DC. All records and artifacts must be out of the White House by noon on Inauguration Day.
At the same time, the National Archives locates temporary storage in the area of the future Presidential library—in this case, Lewisville, Texas. Then the National Archives and the Department of Defense begin moving the records to the temporary library … [ Read all ]

Amazing home where we were welcomed immediately. Evelyn and her husband are two of the sweetest people we have met. Our room was so beautiful and the view from our balcony was perfect. We had outstanding breakfast every morning. Homemade pastries, best coffee I've tasted and we were surprised each morning with something new and delicious to eat. We can not wait to go back for another visit. Newport, RI and The Almondy is a must on everyone's bucket list! See you again soon, Carl Lichti & Janine Dambrosio

Our three nights in Newport were made ultra comfortable and rewarding by Evelyne and her staff. The wine and cheese from 5pm to 6pm is a must. It is a great way to visit with other guests, and Evelyne was always there with her friendly advice and wonderful stories. Her breakfasts were devine. Definitely recommend!
4.6 on October 23, 2014
An excellent stay in a beautiful turn of the century house near the waterfront in Newport. Friendly and welcoming host, and breakfasts enhanced by conversation with interesting fellow guests

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Almondy Inn. Evelyn is a wonderful hostess and we had a delicious breakfast each day. The Inn is convenient and within walking distance to restaurants etc. We would recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful stay at the Almondy in Newport. We were there for a week in mid-September. We had a great time. The room was very nice. The breakfasts were outstanding. We were in the Lanai Suite which had a small balcony with a view of the harbor. The location was great. It's close to everything on Thames Street and the harbor.
5 on October 13, 2014
This B & B was so lovely. We stayed in the Burgandy suite on the first floor. It was wonderful, cozy, peaceful and quiet. Breakfasts are amazing. Always a couple of kinds of pastries, lots of cut up fresh fruit, and a wonderful assortment of egg dishes. The proprietors are friendly and helpful. The inn is about 1 1/2 blocks from downtown on the waterfront. A great, convenient location! If we visit Newport again, we will certainly plan to stay there again.
5 on September 25, 2014
Our room was small, but beautiful with a magnificent view of the habor. Evelyne was a gracious hostess, and very interesting to talk with. She gave us many suggestions for our stay. We definitely will come back to the Almondy when we return to Newport!

Repeat customers for 5 years! Great, I mean great breakfasts....wine social appreciated and owner conversation is engaging.... Great everything!
3.6 on August 09, 2014
Newport is extremely expensive, so the high price of the Almondy Inn was in fact quite reasonable. Excellent location. Rooms are small, but that is to be expected in an old house. Newer bathroom fixtures would improve the rooms a lot. Very good breakfast. Charming hostess - discreet, and a good reader of people's desire for sociability (or not).
3.4 on August 07, 2014
Although our stay was very brief, we found Almondy Inn very homely and our hosts, Evelyne and Herber most welcoming and helpful. Their restaurant recommendation was great, I don't think we would have stumbled on it due to it's location upstairs. Almondy Inn is very conveniently located, an easy stroll to shops and restaurants, it is very clean and has comfortable beds (except the bedpost is in the way of the television screen). Great place to stay.

It's becoming more and more obvious that the marine park is working some serious overtime to clean up its well-deserved reputation as a prison for dolphins and whales. First, it announced its involvement in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Now, it's planning to also feature a float in the Rose Parade on January 1.
With the recent release of the acclaimed documentary Blackfish, more and more people are learning about SeaWorld's shameful history and about the painful lives of whales who live in the marine park's small concrete tanks.
Your voice can help send the message that people are NOT OK with keeping intelligent animals in captivity. Together, we can get this float out of the Rose Parade while there is still time so that SeaWorld can't falsely promote its cruel parks to millions of parade viewers.
R. Scott Jenkins
President Tournament of Roses Association
Not sure what to say? Here's a guide:
I was disappointed to learn that the Rose Parade will include a SeaWorld float this year. SeaWorld harms animals physically and emotionally and is now recognized by many former trainers and marine animal experts as an inhumane environment for orcas. By partnering with a notably cruel company such as SeaWorld, you will lose the respect of many viewers.
Some animals at SeaWorld were violently ripped from their natural ocean homes and confined to tanks–where they have lived for decades. According to whistleblower tips from trainers, withholding food from animals who refuse to perform is a common training method, and because of the intense boredom and aggression caused by captivity, orcas gnaw on the metal gates and concrete corners of the tanks and damage their teeth.
Please cancel plans for a SeaWorld float at the parade, or you will lose my family's viewership. Thank you.

After detour, Messi scores twice to lift Barcelona
"I am disappointed and angry," Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti said. "Not just because of the result. We played good football in the first half, and the second half was totally different. We played the long ball. We were a little bit scared. I didn't like this."
Carlos Tevez scored the winner as Manchester City beat Bolton 1-0 to stay fourth, three points off the pace. Fifth-place Tottenham drew 1-1 at Birmingham and trails City by three points.
In the other games, Wigan drew 2-2 with Stoke and Blackburn won 3-0 at home to Wolverhampton, which dropped to the bottom of the standings.
MILAN (AP) - AC Milan cruised to a 3-0 win over Brescia and re-established a three-point lead over Lazio in Serie A.
Kevin-Prince Boateng, Robinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored in the first half for the Rossoneri, who stretched their undefeated streak to six matches.
"It's important for us to continue this way," said Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri.
Earlier, AS Roma wasted a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw at Chievo Verona.
Milan leads with 33 points; Lazio has 30; Juventus and Napoli 24; and Palermo, Inter and Roma 23.
Lazio beat Inter 3-1 on Friday, Juventus visits Catania on Sunday and Napoli hosts southern rival Palermo on Monday.
BERLIN (AP) - Fanis Gekas brought his league-high season tally to 13 goals with a late penalty winner for Frankfurt in a 2-1 victory over Mainz in the Bundesliga.
Mainz remains second behind Dortmund, which is assured of top spot going into the winter break. The leader has a seven-point cushion before Sunday's match at Nuremberg.
Wolfsburg and Werder Bremen played to a scoreless draw, with both teams missing penalties.
Hannover completed a comeback over 10-man Borussia Moenchengladbach with two goals in three minutes from Mike Hanke and Didier Ya Konan in a 2-1 win. American midfielder Michael Bradley scored for Moenchengladbach.
Stuttgart and 10-man Hoffenheim shared the points in a 1-1 draw, and Freiburg beat Hamburger SV 1-0 with a goal after three minutes from Papiss Demba Cisse.

LONDON: Arsenal put to bed talk of an early season crisis with a fluent 3-1 win at Fulham to register their first Premier League points of the season today.
Lukas Podolski scored twice after Olivier Giroud had grabbed the opener for the visitors while Darren Bent tapped in a consolation goal on his debut for Fulham. It is the second time in four days Arsenal have scored three goals, following Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Fenerbahce in their Champions League playoff.
There were first wins of the season for Stoke City, who came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 2-1, and Hull City, who beat Norwich City 1-0. Everton drew their second successive game after failing to break down West Bromwich Albion in a 0-0 draw at Goodison Park, while Newcastle United's match at home to West Ham United was also scoreless. Sunderland took the lead at Southampton through Italian Emanuele Giaccherini, but Jose Fonte equalised with two minutes to play to grab a 1-1 draw for the hosts.
Saturday's win and the manner of the performance will go some way to making up for their opening day slip-up at home to Aston Villa, while the names on the scoresheet might make fans think twice about demands for a new marquee striker. Giroud, who is often touted as one of the men Arsenal need to upgrade if they are to chisel out a title challenge, had his say in the debate with his third goal in as many games this season on nine minutes.
Aaron Ramsey tried his luck with a shot from distance that struck Giroud's heels and fell neatly into the Frenchman's path. He lifted it delicately over keeper David Stockdale, standing in for the injured Maarten Stekelenburg, and into the net.
In atrocious conditions that made Arsenal's intricate passing game difficult, Fulham harried their north London opponents and should have been level but for a fantastic save from Wojciech Szczesny. The Arsenal keeper parried a shot from Adel Taarabt but the rebound fell invitingly for Damien Duff charging in at the far post. His shot was deflected away by Szczesny's feet as he scurried back into position.
It was a let-off for the visitors, who went on to double their advantage four minutes before the break. Santi Cazorla sent Theo Walcott free down the right, his shot from the angle was pushed out by Stockdale, but Podolski followed up and blasted his effort into the net from the edge of the area.
The German made sure of the points midway through the second half when he latched on to Cazorla's cross and fired in from the edge of the area for his second of the match. Bent came off the bench on 58 minutes for his first appearance after leaving Aston Villa and grabbed a typical poacher's goal, tapping in at the far post.

After years of wielding broad political influence and clout, Los Angeles unions this Labor Day find themselves facing a series of challenges that threaten to diminish their dominance.
As the largest labor group, representing 800,000 workers, the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, is adapting to new local leadership because of the death of Miguel Contreras at the same time that it tries to stay united amid a national split that saw several major unions break away.
City employee unions are demanding equitable treatment as they eye a looming city showdown over a contract deal that would give lucrative raises to Department of Water and Power workers.
And a statewide assault is shaping up in the November special election, when voters will be asked to weigh in on Proposition 75 - a measure that would limit the role of unions in elections by restricting their ability to use members' dues to wage political campaigns.
``We are facing the biggest crisis we have ever had since the AFL and CIO first merged,'' said Jim Hilfenhaus, public affairs director of Laborers International Union. ``It is still somewhat of a mystery to a lot of us on how we will come out of this.''
The confluence of challenges began in May when longtime local federation leader Contreras suddenly died, and then in June unions including the Teamsters, Service Employees International Union and the United Food and Commercial Workers broke away from the national federation amid dissent over strategy.
Top issue
Union leaders say the timing of the new local leadership and national division is creating a particular challenge as they try to unify and mount opposition to the November ballot measure.
``This is the No. 1 issue facing unions in this state and across the nation,'' said Rick Icaza, president of the County Federation as well as head of the United Food and Commercial Workers.
``They are starting with public employee unions, but we all know the next step is to apply it everywhere else in the country and include private unions.''
With the national split among union leaders, California locals are being left to pretty much fight the battle on their own. Statewide, unions for teachers, nurses and public safety groups are waging high-profile advertising campaigns, leaving the get-out-the-vote effort to locals, Icaza said.
``It's a particularly big burden for us in Los Angeles, because this is where elections are decided,'' Icaza said.
Faced with leading the charge is Martin Ludlow, the former Los Angeles councilman who once served as Contreras' political director as Contreras built the umbrella organization of unions into a potent political force that today includes more than 300 affiliates.
``This has been a big gut check for me,'' Ludlow said in an interview last week. ``The suddenness of (Contreras) being gone and me being given this job was incredible. It came at a time of all this turmoil in the unions nationally and as we are looking at this special election and the issues it presents for labor.
``Where I'm lucky is that we were so close and talked so often that with me taking over his job, there has been no second-guessing. And he was so organized we are able to continue working on what he laid out.''
Staying together
Ludlow said he is concentrating on the November special election before even trying to focus on redefining the role of the federation in the wake of the breakup.
``On Nov. 9, we will start to talk about where we as a Southern California labor force go next,'' he said. ``I want to continue with what Miguel had been planning and keep the federation intact as much as we can.''
So far, Ludlow has been able to keep together all the main union players, including those from the groups that broke away from the national organization.
Icaza, also manager of the United Food and Commercial Workers local that voted to break away from the national AFL-CIO, has kept his post as president of the County Federation.
Likewise, the leadership of Unite Now, which represents hotel workers, and SEIU locals that represent government workers are remaining as part of the County Federation. Its general manager is Maria Elena Durazo, the widow of Contreras and a longtime friend of Ludlow's.
Ludlow and the unions' long and deep ties with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, himself a onetime union organizer, also could be a unifying factor.
Ludlow once worked as an aide to Villaraigosa, and even though the County Federation supported former Mayor James Hahn's re-election campaign this past year, many locals broke away to support Villaraigosa.
One union that gave the mayor strong support - with more than $100,000 in contributions to his election - was the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 18, the union representing DWP workers in their pending contract with the city.
Under the DWP deal, the utility's 8,000 union workers would get a minimum 16.25 percent pay hike, worth nearly $69 million, over the next five years, with increases ballooning to 30 percent if inflation rises.
But the deal has come under fire as it comes on the heels of an 11 percent water-rate hike last year, with another water-rate increase proposed at 17.9 percent over the next five years.
Villaraigosa has questioned if the city can afford it - as well as the possible precedent it could set with other city unions as they look to their own contracts.
Already, Service Employees International Union, Local 347 - the union for 10,000 of the city's lowest-paid employees - has demanded a sweeping review of citywide pay policies and a meeting with city officials over equity issues.
DWP strike looms
The union for DWP workers is threatening to strike if the mayor and City Council do not approve the contract.
Faced with a pending showdown over the deal, Villaraigosa said his long labor background and his personal commitment to unions have inoculated him to be able to act independently.
``Everyone knows I am 100 percent for unions,'' Villaraigosa said. ``But that doesn't mean I can't question if a contract is good for the city. I absolutely support what unions have done to build and maintain the middle class. That's something we need to expand.
``But, I also have to look out for what's in the best interests of the city and what we can afford.''
Villaraigosa said he has been impressed with how Ludlow has stepped in to the County Federation job.
``What I see is he has been able to keep the local unions together so Los Angeles is better off than unions nationally,'' Villaraigosa said. ``And, it's an important time for the unions with the election coming up and the threats to them with Proposition 75. If there is one thing Martin Ludlow knows how to do, it's running a campaign.''
Kent Wong of the UCLA Center for Labor Research and Education, said he believes local labor leaders will weather the storm of the national split.
``They have this common ground, politically, that has been very successful and the County Fed is the ideal vehicle for them to work together,'' Wong said. ``My sense is there is no interest in tearing it apart and then trying to replicate it with a larger bureau.''
At the same time, he noted, there is going to be pressure on individual leaders like Icaza of UFCW and Durazo of Unite Now to go along with the national breakup strategy.
The breakaway unions are planning a national convention this fall to develop a national strategy.
``We'll see what emerges from that and how effective it can be with the national elections coming up next year,'' Wong said.
Added Laborers International's Hilfenhaus: ``What's a shame for us in Los Angeles is that we have worked well together. You don't see the animosity that exists on the national level. Yet all that could be threatened.''

FORT WORTH -- Crowds of Fort Worth residents are expected to sound off about natural gas drilling at Tuesday's city council meeting.
After talking about changes to a drilling ordinance, the council will listen to people's concerns.
Revisions to current rules touch on everything from setbacks -meaning how far the wells will need to be placed from homes and schools - to emissions andwaste disposal.
It looks like activists and gas companies can agree on one thing, neither likes the new rules.
Jim Ashford thought revising Fort Worth's gas drilling ordinance would help the situation, but he's worried after reading through the 60 pages on the city website.
The revised rules reduce mandatory setbacks from pad sites to homes and schools - from 600 feet to 525 feet.
The changes could also lift the current moratorium on injection wells - that bury the slurry of water, salt and fracking chemicals inside the city.
Most of the revisions, nearly all the revisions protect the gas driller or give them more leeway, said Ashford.
The gas industry says that's not true.
Chesapeake will speak against the new rules at the public hearing.According to its website, tighter restrictions would push pad sites away from protected waterways into neighborhoods.
The one issue where activists and gas companies agree - one public hearing is not enough.
Esther McElfish wants a face-to-face meeting to hammer out the differences. She leads the North Central Texas Communities Alliance which has fought for tighter drilling restrictions for years. She says the council is not going into neighborhoods to get input from voters.
One of our biggest concerns is they have cherry picked this, said McElfish. It's pick and choose the items that staff and council wanted to address, instead of addressing the whole ordinance. It all works together.
Council is scheduled to vote on the new ordinance next week. The Public hearing is expected to last well into the night.

Rotary History
"Whatever Rotary may mean to us, to the world it will be known by the results it achieves."
—Paul P. Harris
Clarksville Sunset Rotary Club is part of an organization of business, professional and community leaders united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. In more than 160 countries worldwide, approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 34,000 Rotary clubs.
Rotary club membership represents a cross-section of the community's business and professional men and women, as well as community leaders. The world's Rotary clubs meet weekly and are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds.
Although Rotary clubs develop autonomous service programs, all Rotarians worldwide are united in a campaign for the global eradication of polio. The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and others who share its vision of a better world. Since 1947, the Foundation has awarded more than US$1.1 billion in humanitarian and educational grants, which are initiated and administered by local Rotary clubs and districts.
The Sunset Rotary club was formed in March 2013, to allow business professionals the opportunity to attend Rotary club meetings at a time that best fits into their busy schedules. Life happens…due to changes in work schedules, a new meeting time allowed another opportunity for professionals to stay involved in Rotary. It also opened the door for many new Rotarians who are now able to become a part of Rotary. Having a third club in Clarksville allows current Rotarians another option for a make-up meeting.

This game really captured the feel of the simpsons show. the storyline and the conversations between characters are both hilarious. I felt compelled to try and collect every single item in the game, even though it did get a little boring doing so. I really loved the way they poked fun of several other games , it made for some really good laughs. Overall, a very well done game that anyone remotely interested in the Simpsons should play!
