City Council moves temporarily to school board building
The Berkeley City Council is packing up and moving its meetings.
Tonight will be one of the last times that council convenes at Old City Hall, at 2134 Martin Luther King, Jr. Way – at least for a few months.
Starting March 15, council will meet in the Berkeley Unified School District boardroom at 1231 Addison St. behind its HQ at 2020 Bonar St. It is part of a two-and-a-half-month pilot program through May 31 to see if the school headquarters is an appropriate place to convene.
The City Council has been looking for a new meeting space since 2011 because its current space, in the Maudelle Shirek Building, is dilapidated, too small for large crowds, and not seismically safe. In addition, there aren't many toilets and the elevator doesn't always work, restricting access to the second-floor chambers. … Continue reading »
Huge price tag projected for homeless storage bin plan
An innovative program to offer secure storage containers for the possessions of Berkeley's homeless could cost nearly $350,000 a year in staffing, along with $50,000 in start-up costs.
Interim City Manager Dee Williams-Ridley provided the City Council with the estimates in a Feb. 26 memo that has been posted on the city website.
Read more coverage of homelessness in Berkeley.
The storage program must be in place before the city can begin enforcing a slate of other new rules designed to clean up Berkeley's sidewalks and limit problematic behavior on them. Advocates for the homeless have said the laws will only serve to criminalize the community's most vulnerable and downtrodden. Council voted to approve the new rules in December.
According to the memo, the city is looking at a six-month pilot program at 1931 Center St.: "The plan is to re-open the lockers currently located behind the Veteran's Building and to add a structure in the same location to house an additional fifty (50) 64-gallon storage containers."
The area would be secured, and staff would be on site daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. to allow access. The city says it is also looking at additional sites "to ensure we locate the program in the most appropriate place." … Continue reading »
Berkeley planning chief to leave for Contra Costa County
Update, Feb. 26, 10:11 a.m. The city manager's office sent the following notice to city officials at 10:05 a.m.
"It is with sadness that I inform you that Eric Angstadt has submitted his resignation as Planning Director effective March 25, 2016 to become the Chief Assistant County Administrator for Contra Costa County. Eric came to Berkeley in April 2012 as the Planning Director. Among the achievements during his tenure, he managed the expansion of Permit Service Center responsibilities and staff to address increasing demands for land use and building permit approvals for 2,500 units of housing, implemented a balcony inspection program, and adopted revisions to improve zoning and land use appeals. We will miss Eric and I wish him the best in his future role.
"I have asked Carol Johnson, the Land Use Planning Manager, to serve as Acting Planning Department Director effective March 25, 2016. Carol has over 25 years of experience in both the public and private sectors. She has been the Land Use Planning Manager for the City of Berkeley since May 2014. Prior to that she has served as the Planning Manager for the cities of Concord, CA and Phoenix, AZ. Accomplishments in those positions resulted in the Concord Downtown Plan, the Concord Safe Routes to Transit Plan, launching the Phoenix General Plan Update, and creating the Downtown Phoenix Code. Carol has also worked as a planner in various capacities for cities in the states of Connecticut and Washington, and as a consultant in the private sector. Please join me with congratulating Carol on her new assignment."
Added Williams-Ridley in a statement to Berkeleyside: "The City of Berkeley is losing an exceptional leader and an exemplary professional. We wish him the best as he moves on."

Berkeley city auditor calls for better rainy day fund policy
In perhaps the first-ever folksy moment in a Berkeley audit report, the city auditor recalls Aesop's 3,000-year-old tale of the "Grasshopper and the Ant." The frivolous grasshopper plays through the summer months while the industrious ant toils to store food for the winter. When winter arrives, the grasshopper starves to death.
The moral for Berkeley, according to City Auditor Ann-Marie Hogan? Seize hold of the current relatively healthy economic conditions and put in place a more prudent, detailed policy for the city's general fund reserve, often called the rainy day fund.
"Nobody wants to put aside money for tomorrow when there are so many unmet needs starting them in the face today and the residents are all clamoring for their priorities," Hogan said. "We've had a couple of years of really good revenue news. This would be the time to put in place the policy." … Continue reading »
402 Berkeley buildings found to need fixes after launch of inspection program spurred by balcony collapse
Inspections performed in Berkeley since last year's deadly balcony collapse at Library Gardens found more than 400 buildings that needed work out of nearly 2,200 with weather-exposed elements, such as balconies, stairways, decks and landings, according to a city report released Wednesday afternoon.
The inspections were part of the city's response to the Library Gardens tragedy last June, which killed six young people and seriously injured seven others when a fifth-floor balcony broke off a downtown Berkeley apartment building during a birthday celebration.
Council voted in July to require the inspection by Jan. 15, and every following three years, of all weather-exposed exterior elements in properties with at least three units. The city also stiffened requirements about building materials, venting and access to make inspections easier to do and allow for better airflow to elements that could be impacted by water damage and other problems.
Read complete Berkeleyside coverage about the balcony collapse.
The Berkeley City Council is slated to receive an update Feb. 23 about the "Exterior Elevated Elements" (E3) program, which mandates the inspections. … Continue reading »

Berkeley commission shortlists 3 for cannabis dispensary
Berkeley's Medical Cannabis Commission selected three finalists for the city's coveted fourth dispensary opportunity Thursday. This despite the fact that a number of the commission's members wanted to recommend all six dispensary finalists to the city council as a way to suggest that Berkeley needs more medical cannabis in the community.
The top vote getter was Berkeley iCann Health Center at 3243 Sacramento St. near Alcatraz Avenue. Its proprietor, Frances Sue Taylor, is a Berkeley resident who is on the board of the Alameda County Advisory Commission on Aging. iCann would focus on reaching out to the senior community, she said. Six commissioners put iCann at the top of their list.

The next highest vote getter was Berkeley Innovative Health, which would be located at 1229 San Pablo Ave., between Gilman and Harrison streets. Its proprietors are Shareef El-Sissi and Soufyan Abou-Ahmed and the dispensary would be modeled after their Garden of Eden dispensary in Hayward. Five commissioners put BIH near the top of their lists.
The third recommended dispensary is Berkeley Compassionate Care Center, which would be run out of the Ameoba Records building at 2465 Telegraph Ave. The owners of that dispensary would be Marc Weinstein and David Prinz. Its manager would be Debby Goldsberry, a founding member of the Berkeley Patients Group, and a board member of NORML, a nonprofit that has worked to legalize marijuana since its founding in 1970. BCC got four votes. … Continue reading »

They're off: Candidates file campaign finance statements
The Berkeley political jostling has begun, even though elections will, of course, only be held in November.
City Councilman Jesse Arreguín has raised close to $25,000 for his race for mayor, almost four times as much as City Councilman Laurie Capitelli, his strongest opponent.
Capitelli, who has been endorsed by a majority of the city council, raised $6,380 in the six months leading up to Dec. 31, 2105, according to campaign finance statements.
Read more about the 2016 Berkeley election.
There is a $250 limit for individual contributions in Berkeley candidate elections. Businesses cannot contribute.
Some of those who contributed $250 to Capitelli's campaign are those involved with Berkeley's current construction boom. They include Denise Pinkston, a developer and vice-chair of the Zoning Adjustments Board; David Trachtenberg, an architect who has designed a number of the multi-family apartment buildings now rising in Berkeley; Richard Millikan, who helped develop the Fourth Street shopping district; Aileen Dolby, a commercial realtor for Colliers International; and Patrick Leaper, a colleague of Capitelli's at Red Oak Realty. Capitelli told Berkeleyside that he just started his fundraising the last two weeks of December, a holiday period, and he is "confident" he will eventually have the funds to get his message out to voters. … Continue reading »

Finalists pitch for Berkeley's fourth cannabis dispensary
One offered expanded services to senior citizens living with chronic illness. Another pledged to provide strict round-the-clock security. Still another promised free yoga and group therapy.
The competition is down to the wire for six medical marijuana dispensary owners vying for a chance to become Berkeley's latest medical cannabis destination. The city, which is now home to three medical cannabis dispensaries, opened up bids for its fourth and final location following the passage of Measure T in 2010, and has winnowed it down to six final applicants in six different locations around the city.
Representatives from the six businesses presented 10-minute pitches before the city's Medical Cannabis Commission Jan. 28 at the North Berkeley Senior Center. (Read their applications in detail.)

Landmark designation another hurdle for Berkeley Honda
The Berkeley City Council voted this week to review a decision by the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission to protect the former Any Mountain and Berkeley Bowl location, where Berkeley Honda hopes to one day open, as a structure of merit.
Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to bring the decision to a public hearing "at the earliest possible date." (Councilman Max Anderson was absent due to illness.) City staff said that hearing may happen March 8, but has not been finalized. Earlier this month, property owner Glenn Yasuda also filed an appeal of the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) decision.
Honda hopes to open a new full-service dealership at 2777 Shattuck, between Ward and Stuart streets, and is currently operating out of two temporary locations, at 2627 Shattuck and 1500 San Pablo Ave. Initially, the company hoped to move to 1500 San Pablo but "lost that site to a multi-national developer," according to project documents.
See complete Berkeley Honda coverage on Berkeleyside.
The LPC voted Dec. 3 to grant one type of landmark status to the building in response to a petition and application filed by "at least fifty City residents," according to Tuesday's staff report. The LPC deemed the building a "structure of merit" for two reasons: as a notable example of "streamline moderne" architecture, and "for its historical significance to the City and neighborhood within the context of indoor recreation." … Continue reading »

South Africa's Julius Malema talks to Al Jazeera
Inside Story | 08 Oct 2013 14:42 GMT | US & Canada, Libya, United States
He has been wanted by the FBI for more than a decade and has a $5m bounty on his head. Abu Anas al-Liby, who is suspected of belonging to al-Qaeda and of planning the bombing of two US embassies in East Africa in 1998, was captured by US soldiers in Tripoli.
The US raid on foreign soil is drawing attention to al-Qaeda's growing presence in the country since the fall of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
There is a bit of a concern in Washington as well as in Libya itself that the government is seen being ... too closely attached to the western powers that intervened militarily to overthrow Gaddafi and so it is better if in public, the government - like the Pakistani government - attacks the US for violence and sovereignty, even if in private they are collaborating with the United States...
Richard Weitz, Center for Political Military Analysis
Libya's Prime Minister Ali Zeidan is now demanding answers from Washington, describing al-Liby's capture as a kidnapping and insisting on an explanation for why American special forces carried out a raid on Libyan territory.
John Kerry, the US secretary of state, defended the military operation and had this message for al-Qaeda:
"We hope that this makes clear that the United States of America will never stop in its effort to hold those accountable who conduct acts of terror and those members of al-Qaeda and other terrorist organisations literally can run but they can't hide. We will continue to try to bring people to justice in an appropriate way with hopes that ultimately these kinds of activities against everybody in the world will stop."
Since Muammar Gaddafi's death, almost every embassy in the country has been attacked.
But the most prominent assault took place last year against the US consulate in Benghazi. The raid resulted in the death of the US ambassador, Chris Stevens, and three other embassy staff.
What emerged from this is that it is not just the al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) group that is operating there - other groups were involved in the US embassy attack in Benghazi.
Up until earlier this year, al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb used northern Mali as its base for operations but that changed after the French military intervened which left many people wondering where they had gone.
lt now appears that Libya, in particular southern Libya, has become a new base for al-Qaeda fighters. It is an area largely out of the reach of Libya's poorly equipped and unorganised security forces.
Al-Qaeda members now seem to be using their new location as a springboard to carry out operations across the entire Sahel region. In May, al-Qaeda in the Maghreb was blamed for a twin suicide attack in Niger that killed at least 20 people.
Niger's President Mahamadou Issoufou has since warned that the group is planning more attacks from its stronghold in southern Libya against countries like Chad.
Why is Libya becoming a safe haven for a number of armed groups? And how much of a threat are they to the region?
Inside Story, with presenter Jane Dutton, speaks to guests: Con Coughlin, the defence editor of the Daily Telegraph; Richard Weitz, a senior fellow and director of the Center for Political Military Analysis at the Hudson Institute; and Faraj Najem, the director for Salam Centre for Africa Research, a think-tank affiliated to the government of Libya.
"The government is helpless, I don't think they can do anything but it's furious it is being accused by its people that it is implicated in the kidnapping of a Libyan citizen on Libyan soil."
Faraj Nadem, a former National Congress candidate

USTAR initiative requests more funding
SALT LAKE CITY — A group of prominent business leaders is asking the Utah Legislature to put their money where the ideas are.
At the Capitol on Thursday, they called on lawmakers boost funding to the Utah Science, Technology and Research initiative that has helped make Utah among the nation's most fertile innovation environments.
"We've proven to the business community that we have delivered on the promise (to foster research and innovation)," said USTAR executive director Ted McAleer.
Started in 2007, the program was granted approximately $19 million to fund research and outreach, but since then — due to the economic downturn — overall funding for USTAR has declined about 28 percent, he said. With funding down to about $13 million in 2011, supporters hope to restore funding to at least original levels and an additional $10 million, if possible.
"Because of the budget cuts of the past couple of years, we've been challenged to continue to grow at the (original) level," McAleer said.
Since its inception, USTAR has helped produce more than 300 invention disclosures and patent filings, and 44 start-up companies or industry partnerships, according to a program statement.
USTAR collaborates with the University of Utah and Utah State University to create world-class research teams in strategic innovation development areas. Highly regarded faculty members, supported by teams of top researchers, lead the teams.
The model calls for institutions of higher learning to construct facilities and recruit high-end researchers whose technologies can be commercialized.
Among the innovative technologies USTAR faculty has helped cultivate is spider silk developed by the Synthetic Bio-Manufacturing Center at USU Commercial Enterprises. The center uses metabolic processes of organisms to transform raw materials into low cost biomaterials.
"Spider silk is one of the strongest materials that exists," said USU biology professor and USTAR faculty member Randy Lewis. "It has a strength higher than Kevlar and elasticity greater than nylon."
He said potential applications for the spider silk are for use in medical devices and equipment, including spider silk–based synthetic ligaments as well as sutures for surgery.
In addition, the exceptional flexibility, strength and weight of spider silk make it a potentially ideal material for products such as vehicular airbags and high-performance sports apparel, he explained.
Through USTAR, Lewis said that his team has created a line of transgenic goats that produce spider silk proteins in goat milk and transgenic silk worms that incorporate spider silk proteins into their cocoons — allowing for relatively easy large-scale production.
Another innovation in development through USTAR is a handheld portable x-ray device created by Provo-based Aribex Inc. — already used in dental offices. Company chairman Clark Turner said USTAR funding could aid in the eventual development of a similar device for use in the medical field.
"So you would be able to take medical x-rays — arms, legs, head, feet — in the field or in nursing homes or in the emergency room," he explained.
In the wake of the program's success, Dinesh Patel — chairman of the USTAR governing authority — said they felt justified in asking for an increase in funding to spur even more innovation and long-term economic development in Utah.
"The impact of USTAR can be felt across the state," Patel said.
A recommendation for increased funding for the initiative was approved by the Business, Economic Development, and Labor Appropriations Subcommittee, according to committee co-chairman Rep. Todd Kiser, R-Sandy. The measure is expected to be reviewed by the Executive Appropriations Committee sometime next week.
"I'm hopeful that it will be funded," Kiser said.

Racing at Plumpton on Monday and Taunton on Tuesday has been abandoned as the tracks are waterlogged.
There are also problems at Leicester, where there will be an inspection at 10am on Monday ahead of Wednesday's jumps meeting.
Heavy rain at Plumpton prompted an 8am inspection on Sunday morning, after which officials were left with little option. Taunton went the same way during the same morning.
Plumpton clerk of the course Mark Cornford said: "We had 22 millimetres of rain overnight - we were told we could get eight or 12 millimetres. If we'd had four or five we could have given it another 24 hours and seen where we are, but 22 millimetres definitely wasn't on the horizon.
"I don't feel there is enough time for enough of an improvement, it's totally unraceable at the moment. There's still a chance of a shower this evening, and tomorrow afternoon the rain comes back. There's water lying in lots of places that it wasn't yesterday."
Heavy rain after several inches of snow had thawed gave Taunton officials no alternative but to call off their fixture.
"We had about three to five inches of snow which melted on Friday and then we had an inch of rain on Friday night and a further inch of rain last night," said clerk of the course Michael Trickey.
"That was on already heavy ground and there was no way it was sustainable. There is more rain forecast on Monday and Tuesday, so I'm afraid we've had to come to the sad conclusion."
The rapid thaw has caused fresh problems for Leicester. Five inches of snow on Saturday was quickly followed by milder weather and rain, and has resulted in waterlogging.
Clerk of the course Jimmy Stevenson said: "I'm not surprised - I knew this was inevitable. We had five inches of snow on the course on Saturday. That's all gone with the rain, and we are left with a bit of water running round. We've got a dry 24 hours now, so we will have a review in the morning."

The latest casualty of Broadway's Spring season, Breakfast at Tiffany's ends its run at the Cort Theatre today. The play, written by Richard Greenberg (Take Me Out) and based on the story by Truman Capote, concludes having played 17 preview performances and 38 regular performances.
The production, directed by Sean Mathias, featured Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke in the part of Holly Golightly (previously played on screen by Audrey Hepburn) alongside co-stars Cory Michael Smith, George Wendt, Paolo Montalban, Lee Wilkof, and Eddie Korbich.
Despite its iconic title, Breakfast at Tiffany's ultimately couldn't make a run of it due to low ticket sales. A lack of word-of-mouth and mixed reviews kept the play from getting the boost it needed to compete with the many other shows opening this season.

When you're running a wedding, there's one thing you need to remember, says Ewen Gilmour. Make sure the butterflies are properly thawed.
Usually, they've spent the night chilling in a freezer, so if you don't start defrosting early enough, they're still sluggish when you open the box. Instead of flapping about freaking out the bridesmaids and sticking to the wedding-cake icing as they should, they just lie there like they're half-dead.
That's why Gilmour likes to take control of a wedding. "I'll say, 'If you've got those butterflies, let's get them in the sun now.'"
Butterfly thermodynamics is just one of the areas of expertise Gilmour has developed in his five years as an independent wedding celebrant. He's better known as a comedian, and occasional local body politician, but a couple of dozen times a year the long-haired Westie pockets $850 (less for mates) to preside over a wedding.
He makes a speech, reassures anxious grooms and mothers-in-law, ensures the legal niceties are adhered to and, if necessary, wrangles butterflies. (Doves, by the way, are less fiddly. You let them out and they fly home of their own accord.)
Gilmour's one of the 1731 independent wedding celebrants who have permission from the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) to bring two people together in matrimony. Some are comedians, or used to be famous on TV (Breakfast's Kay Gregory, or white-haired ex-newsreader Philip Sherry). Others were in local politics (Wellington ex-mayor Kerry Prendergast), or are JPs who saw celebrancy as a natural next step. And some are just ordinary folk who want to make a contribution.
Another 7853 celebrants operate under the auspices of churches and other institutions (including Wiccan Connections, the Whangarei Psychic Centre and something called the "Temple of Isis and Anubis").
That's 9884 celebrants all up. With just 20,000-odd weddings in New Zealand a year, it looks rather like a glut. Which may explain why the DIA can get a bit picky. First-time applicants are frequently rejected. Some qualify only after providing testimonials to their rectitude, or petitions demonstrating an unmet community need for them.
When he was on the Waitakere council, Gilmour found people assumed this meant he could do weddings. It didn't, but he was asked so often he decided to apply. His first gig was the wedding of fellow comedian Ben Hurley.
It's a great way to spend a day, says Gilmour.
"It's the happiest day of their lives. Everyone dresses up. The women look fantastic in their fancy cocktail dresses. It's a fun day and you get to meet lots of people."
Apart from cold butterflies, celebrants need to beware time-wasting photographers ("they want the bride getting out of the car, then getting back in the car, then once more taken from inside the car – they can f*** around sometimes"); slow brides ("you tell the bride to be late but not too late – on a hot day Grandma has been out in the sun since 3pm and is starting to melt"); and the infamous 'friend who said he would look after the music'.
There'll be a guy with his iPod plugged into Gilmour's PA system, who is meant to play a couple of songs during the signing, then fade out in time for Gilmour to present Mr and Mrs Whoever. Without fail, says Gilmour, when the time comes, "the music guy is chatting to a girl in a hot dress. The ceremony's almost over and he thinks it's time to make his move. I have to go over and say, 'Bro, fade out.'"
Gilmour's a comic. He has a signature wedding joke. "When I'm getting them to sign the register I say to the man, 'Just sign with your maiden name.' Maybe one person at each wedding will laugh at that."
He encourages whooping and hollering and laughter, but some things are serious. He warns the couple that if either of them say "no" when they're meant to say "I do", even if it's just for a giggle, he'll walk away. Nobody has done it.
Then again, "What one guy did was really funny. When I said, 'Do you come here freely without reservation to give yourself in marriage?', he reached into his pocket and pulled out a coin, flipped it and looked at it and said, 'Yes.' That was really good." Actually, two different grooms did this, so it may not be an entirely original gag.
Penny Ashton, 39, is another celebrant who's turned the job into a bit of a performance. Her 12-year, nine-applications quest to become a celebrant ended only when she convinced the DIA there was a need in the community for a celebrant who could dress up in costumes and provide unconventional ceremonies for adventurous couples.
The Auckland poet, actor and comedian has done six weddings since becoming a celebrant last September. Her rate is $600. In November she's going to dress as a ringmaster for a ceremony at Rainbow's End fun park ("corset, top hat, big skirt, boots"). She can marry you dressed as a medieval queen if you like. Her latest stage show is a Jane Austen-inspired musical, so if anyone needs an early-19th-century-themed wedding, she's got the bodice.
Ashton isn't sure why the DIA is sometimes such a strict gatekeeper of the supply of celebrants. Sunday asked the DIA if there was a policy to keep a lid on the number of celebrants, or if applicants were screened on criteria such as age, location, ethnicity or whatnot. In response, a spokesperson said appointments are made "in accordance with the statutory criteria", and applicants "that do not meet the criteria are not appointed".
Anyway, Ashton's offer to dress up for weddings swung it for her. One caller made tentative enquiries about her doing a wedding while dressed as Elvis. "I'd have thought I'd make a better Marilyn."
You don't have to be a performer to develop a sideline in weddings. Alana Srubar-Vernon, 28, is a PhD student working for Plant and Food Research in Auckland and Palmerston North.
She became a celebrant partly because a friend asked her to do their wedding, and partly because she'd found her own wedding so frustrating. Srubar-Vernon married her Czech husband in Scotland two years ago, and had to fight with her celebrant over every little deviation from the conservative template.
"I wanted her to say, 'You may kiss each other,' not, 'You may kiss the bride.' She wanted to stick to the script. It was very annoying."
Alana Srubar-Vernon takes no more than travel expenses for officiating at a wedding. "I consider it an honour."
Marriages rules in the UK are bizarrely strict. There are squillions of churches where you can marry, but civil ceremonies are allowed only in specially licensed venues, which tend to charge handsomely for their use. (Exceptions are made if you marry in a prison, a psychiatric hospital or on your deathbed.)
In most parts of the UK, outdoor weddings are banned full stop, even at the licensed venues.
In New Zealand, by contrast, just about anything goes.
As Ashton puts it: "The only legal thing in the ceremony is: 'I, full name, take you, full name, to be my legal wife/husband.'" Aside from signing a bit of paper and having a couple of witnesses, "You can do what you like with the rest of the ceremony, which is fantastic."
But even in chilled-out New Zealand, there is conservatism lurking, says Srubar-Vernon. One of her couples had been told by another celebrant that involving their children in the ceremony was "not appropriate".
"I said, 'What!? That's crazy. They're your kids!'"Srubar-Vernon heard of another couple who had to scramble for a new celebrant three days before the wedding, when the original celebrant cancelled upon learning she'd have to walk up a hill for an outdoor wedding.
Srubar-Vernon has done six weddings since being appointed in late 2011, each time for nothing more than travel expenses.
"I consider it an honour. I don't understand how celebrants charge so much. The last thing someone needs for their wedding is a huge debt."
She says it's reward enough that she gets to places she wouldn't otherwise see, and meets interesting people. At one ceremony the couple constructed a large, heart-shaped sculpture out of pumice as they said their vows. "It was amazing."
Like Ashton, Srubar-Vernon had to argue her case before the DIA gave the nod. She pitched on the basis that young couples might want the option of a younger, more open-minded celebrant, then proved it by collecting petition signatures and conducting a survey via Facebook.
Unlike Ashton and Gilmour, Srubar-Vernon hasn't bothered applying for the right to officiate at civil unions. "I am in protest over civil unions. I'm very pro-gay marriage, so I'm waiting for the law to come in so I can do gay marriages as well.
"I have a couple of gay couples who are interested in using me when the law changes. They're holding out against civil unions too."
Gilmour has performed just one civil union, for a lesbian couple. He too looks forward to marriage equality. "It's a bit unjust that a heterosexual couple can have a civil union, but a homosexual couple can't have a marriage. They pay the same taxes. And some of them do my hair really well."
Ashton has been doing civil unions since 2003. Last year she was celebrant for TVNZ journalist Hannah Ockelford and her partner Toni Horne.
Marriage or civil union, it's "just the most beautiful work environment", says Ashton. Especially compared to a comedy gig. "I don't get heckled. Everybody's happy. Everyone wants to be there – for the most part."
Gilmour feels the same.
"I love it. If you'd asked me 10 years ago, when I was at the height of my comedy career, if I'd be a marriage celebrant, I wouldn't have known what you were talking about. Now, I can't imagine not being one."

Tuesday, 18 February 2014
A SINGAPOREAN shipping executive has won US$2.3mil (RM7.57mil) in unpaid wages from a major French container shipping company after a six-year tussle.
The case, which was heard in a Hong Kong court, turned on whether Igal Dafni, 66, was sacked as he had claimed or chose to resign in lieu of being terminated.
Hong Kong High Court Recorder Horace Wong judged that Dafni did not resign, but was forced to resign, after having been assured by French firm CMA CGM's chief executive Jacques Saade that he would be paid his full entitlements under the hire deal.
"The sacking was dressed up as a 'resignation', and Dafni took the fig leaf as he had no other choice," Wong said in a judgment issued last week.
The Israel-born Dafni had previously served in Singapore as area president (Asia) for Israel's national shipping line Zim Integrated Shipping Service before joining CMA in 2006.
Dafni was hired in November 2006 to run Cheng Lie Navigation, a Taiwanese company CMA was planning to acquire.
The job contract provided for three years of employment.
If his job was terminated after the initial six-month trial period for any reason other than misconduct or fraud, CMA would have to pay the balance due of the wages for the period, among other things.
In April 2007, Dafni began work as CEO of Cheng Lie, which had by then been acquired by CMA. But that December, Zim sued him in Singapore, alleging breach of duties. Zim later lost.
In March 2008, Dafni's job with Cheng Lie was brought to a premature end when he met Saade in a Taipei hotel at midnight and verbally resigned.
Saade claimed he had chosen to resign, but Dafni disputed this, saying he was told to go by Saade "in the light of the adverse publicity" generated by the Zim case and "the embarrassment it caused CMA".
He claimed Saade had assured him that he would be paid his contractual entitlements in full.
But the resignation letters that followed said he resigned for personal reasons and had no claims against the company.
In his judgment, Wong found that documents at the time of Dafni's letter "appear to tell another story".
Among other things, a day before he resigned, an e-mail from the company's legal counsel had instructed CMA to settle his termination in line with his employment contract.
The judge said Dafni came across as "smart but honest, fair and very straightforward".
"He is no doubt a man of strong character, tenacious and determined and very experienced in the shipping industry."
Wong found no reason for Dafni to resign at a midnight meeting "in such a (strange) manner". It took place on the eve of the opening of Cheng Lie's new offices, and Dafni had been working hard for the event.
The judge said it was "unlikely" for Dafni to resign then and miss his "moment in the sun".
Instead, he was summoned to the meeting to take delivery of the "short, sharp coup de grace", he added.
Saade found the Zim litigation publicity very embarrassing and wanted Dafni out, said Wong. — The Straits Times/ Asia News Network

Bid process is frustrating
On Sept. 22, my company submitted the lowest of three bids for the city of Cape Girardeau's Fountain Street project. One of the project requirements was a 6 percent Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program goal of which we were able to meet 1.12 percent. In meeting a DBE goal, there are several steps required that we implement. A lot of documentation is submitted with a bid, but it is too lengthy to explain in this space.
The day of our bid, we received only two bids from interested DBE companies, one of which we were able to use in our proposal to the city. The other DBE bid was approximately 24 percent higher than the lowest bid and was the highest of the three bids received for products and services identical in scope. We elected to use the lowest and most competitive bid, not knowing that it would cost us the job. By using the highest bid, we would have been able to meet the DBE goal, but we always use the best and most competitive bid. On Nov. 17, the Missouri Department of Transportation rejected our bid for failing to show a "good faith effort" in meeting the goal.
My frustration is obvious. No one wants to lose a million-dollar job. No program should be created as a handout but rather to teach business savvy and strength by learning to be competitive.

Two brothers convicted of filing a false $2 million claim to the Boston Marathon victims' compensation fund using the name of a long-dead aunt were sentenced Monday to three years in prison.
Two brothers convicted of filing a false $2 million claim to the Boston Marathon victims' compensation fund using the name of a long-dead aunt were sentenced Monday to three years in prison.
Branden Mattier, 23, and Domunique Grice, 28, were convicted this month of conspiracy to commit larceny and attempt to commit larceny. Mattier also was convicted of identity fraud.
Prosecutors said the brothers, both from Boston's South End, submitted a claim to The One Fund claiming their aunt lost her legs in the April 15, 2013, bombing that killed three people and injured more than 260. The fund alerted authorities that the claim was suspicious.
Massachusetts State Police arrested Mattier when he accepted a fake check. Prosecutors said the brothers planned to test drive a new Mercedes-Benz the day they received the check.

As their lawyers appealed for leniency, the brothers spoke in court about how their time in prison had changed them for the better.
"I stand before you a person who has learned more in the past half a year than in my whole entire life," Mattier said. "I have the ability to change … I really deserve another shot to make things right."
Grice said: "I was raised to stand up to anything that might result from my actions. I'm sorry for my involvement in this situation … I'm ready to deal with whatever comes out of this."
Suffolk Superior County Judge Jeffrey Locke was unmoved. He said the two men appeared "highly intellectual" and "polished" yet neither seemed to express remorse about the potential impact to the bombing victims or One Fund donors.
"Their conduct seems almost sociopathic," Locke said.
The judge also sentenced the brothers to three years of probation, during which they will have to volunteer to help victims of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing every other Saturday for six hours as a reminder of the people they had tried to defraud. If they don't meet the terms of their probation, the judge reserved the right to sentence them to up to another two and a half years in prison.
Defense attorneys, who had asked that their clients be sentenced to five years' probation only, said they plan to appeal. Grice's attorney Michael Roitman said judge's sentence was harsh, considering that his client did not have a criminal record.
Prosecutors had sought a four-to five-year prison sentence, arguing that the brothers had carefully and deliberately planned their scheme over many months and were prepared to spend the money if the scam worked.

Today's Tarot for Ron Howard
Cross and Triangle
spread is a powerful means of understanding complex situations, developed by the
Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
. This spread is rich in occult and mystical symbolism, and one of our favorites here at Facade. The
Curious Tarot
is the rarest and most unusual of modern decks. The cards form a surreal collage of American consumer imagery, eerily capturing the archetypes of the atomic age. It is the deck of those who seek to harness the ancient tribal energy that courses through the modern urban world. There are only 100 Curious Tarot decks in existence - if you want one,
buy it now
The first card, the significator, is placed in the center of the cross. This card represents
the prime energy manifest in your life
King of Cups
: The essence of water behaving as air, such as a billowing cloud in the blue sky: Great maturity, endless patience, tolerance of other points of view, and a deep knowledge of human nature. One who intuitively knows the strengths of those around him, and gently cultivates them. Remaining calm and relaxed in all situations, and making artful use of diplomacy or a quiet word to resolve conflicts. The ability to listen to what another person is saying, and truly understand what is in their heart. A rewarding partner and a beloved leader.
The second card, placed above the significator, represents Air. It describes
your spirit, process of thought, and the influence of reason
The Devil
: Being seduced by the material world and physical pleasures. Lust for and obsession with money and power. Living in fear, domination and bondage. Being caged by an overabundance of luxury. Discretion should be used in personal and business matters.
The third card, placed to the right of the significator, represents Fire. It describes
your motivations, creative energies, and the influence of passion
The Sun
: A time of contentment and freedom from restraints. Creative inspiration. Achievement, success, and warmth. Light and love in personal or business matters. Happiness and faithfulness in a relationship.
The fourth card, placed below the significator, represents Water. It describes
your emotions, meditations, and the influence of love
King of Wands, when reversed
: The dark essence of fire behaving as air, such as lightning: An exciting and reckless leader who inspires others to irresponsible acts. An artist whose depraved love of chaos causes him to take hold of destructive ideas and make them appealing to the masses. One who is charismatic and intimidating, using demonstrations of his own skill to dupe others into accepting responsibilities beyond their ability. A dashing and magnetic personality, appearing and disappearing with great suddenness, and leaving upheaval in his wake.
The fifth card, placed to the left of the significator represents Earth. It describes
your physical presence, position in life, and the influence of the material world
: Raw power. Health and physical fortitude. A surge of tremendous force. Recovery from sickness. Victory after apprehension and fear. The ability to face and overcome opposition brings the inner qualities of strength and forbearance. Delays and setbacks will be overcome.
At this point the cross is complete and the triangle is formed. The sixth card, placed on the bottom left of the triangle represents
one of two opposing forces
The Tower
: Unforeseen catastrophe. An abrupt change, perhaps leading to a new lifestyle and enlightenment. May indicate a broken relationship, divorce, or failure in business or career.
The seventh card, placed on the bottom right of the triangle represents
the force that opposes the bottom left card
. These forces may be external, but they are frequently one's own inner archetypes in conflict.
The Chariot
: Victory through might. Advancement through bold action. Change through force. Order established through vigilance. A trying situation mastered by balancing opposing forces against each other. Discipline, individual effort and endurance will turn the tide.
The eighth card, the reconciler, is placed below the cross in the third vertex of the triangle. This is
the force that will resolve the conflict between the bottom left and bottom right cards
. By meditating on this force and bringing more of it into your life, you can bring the matter at hand to a swifter conclusion than would naturally occur.
The World, when reversed
: Incompleteness and shoddy design. A great work betrayed. Insecurity, fear of change, and the failure to reach goals. Regret and disappointment.
The ninth and final card, placed in the center bottom of the triangle, represents
the final outcome unless you change course
Page of Wands, when reversed
: The dark essence of fire behaving as earth, such as dry wood: The surprising appearance of a new passion or inflammatory news. A trickster who can unexpectedly ignite a dangerous situation. The intensity and childish imagination that can send even the most stable venture spinning wildly out of control. Can represent a person outwardly timid, but harboring unexpected inner fury. May indicate the birth of a child.

New Queen on the Way
by Mike Stanz
posted May 29 2014 3:00PM
Queen guitarist Brian May revealed that he and his bandmates are working on a new album – likely titled "Queen Forever" – that will feature never-before-released vocals by Freddie Mercury, who took his final bow in 1991.
As May tells the story, the vocals are "scraps"," so the band is working with them and putting new music behind them. If things work out as planned, the album should be ready for Christmas.
Which could mean a Freddie Mercury hologram will put in an appearance at next year's Billboard Music Awards. Right?
