Long Beach City Council taps replacement for Fagen
Recently appointed zoning board trustee to fill ousted councilman's spot
1 2 3 Next page >
Less than a week after City Councilman Mike Fagen was forced to step down after he was convicted on charges that arose from his collection of more than $15,000 in unemployment benefits, the City Council voted unanimously on Sunday to appoint Eileen Goggin, an attorney and 10-year Long Beach resident, to fill Fagen's unexpired term.
The move comes only a month after the council voted unanimously to appoint Goggin, 51, a law secretary in the New York State Unified Court System, to a three-year term on the city's Zoning Board of Appeals, a seat that Goggin has vacated in order to join the council.
Corey Klein, the city's corporation counsel, said that under New York state law, Fagen, a Democrat who is up re-election in November, was removed from the City Council because he was convicted of a felony. Fagen did not appear at last week's council meeting. City officials said that under the city's charter, the council is required to fill vacancies in order to insure "an effective administration and continuity of government."
Councilman Len Torres called the appointment a "turning point" for the council, while Council Vice President Fran Adelson said that Goggin is more than "well-qualified" for the position.
"I met with Eileen a couple of times and I feel that she is more than well-qualified to sit up here with the rest of the council to represent the citizens of Long Beach," Adelson said. "She's bright and she cares and I just think she'll make an incredible addition."
Councilman John McLaughlin, the lone Republican, also voted favorably. Goggin's appointment means that the Democrats continue to retain their 4-1 majority on the council.
"I just recently got to know Ms. Goggin and I found her to be very bright and engaging, she's definitely qualified," McLaughlin said. "And I guess as a member of the political minority, it would be a time for political gain to call for a 'no' vote, but I think she's willing and able to do it."
Klein explained that the council is permitted to appoint a temporary replacement for Fagen prior to the November election, at which point voters could vote for or against Goggin.

ATLANTA - A federal judge has awarded a former Fulton County employee $1.2 million in a racial discrimination case that keeps growing.
In a March 31 order, U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman quadrupled the $300,000 a jury awarded to Douglas Carl, last August.
"It's exhausting, mentally, emotionally and often physically exhausting; it's been six years and it continues," Carl told 11 Alive News on Wednesday.
Fulton County Manager Thomas Andrews promoted an African-American woman to the job of Director of Human Services in 2007, even though Carl had been deputy director and was serving as interim director at the time.
Last summer, jurors declared evidence proved Carl was a victim of discrimination "on the basis of his race or gender".
During the trial, former County Manager Andrews admitted referring to employees as "black marbles" and "white marbles" in making personnel decisions, but denied discriminating against Carl.
There was also second hand testimony that Fulton County Commissioner Emma Darnell supposedly said she had "too many white boys" in the Human Services Department and that she wanted a black female for the job.
Darnell denied the comments, condemning them as "rank hearsay".
In addition to the jury's award of $300,000 in back pay, Judge Baverman has now awarded Carl an additional $885,293 in back pay, interest and lost pension benefits.
The court has yet to rule on attorneys' fees, which Carl's lawyers say could add another $500,000 to the judgement for a possible total of $1.7-million.
"The legal system has sided in my favor and I'm just beyond pleased and relieved with it all," Carl said of the quadrupled award, which he is counting on for retirement.
After last summer's trial, then Fulton County Attorney David Ware sent 11 Alive News a statement disputing the verdict and saying the county would appeal to the U.S. 11th Circuit Court.
When asked about the higher award on Wednesday, the county attorney's office replied, "As contemplated by the Georgia Bar Rules, it is the County Attorney's policy to not comment on pending litigation matters."
This is the second discrimination case involving Commissioner Emma Darnell.
In 2004 the U.S. Supreme Court denied the county's appeal of a racial discrimination verdict that awarded $18-million to eight librarians who claimed they were demoted for being white.
Their attorney produced recordings of library board meetings in which members could be heard saying "there were too many whites" in management and it was "not welcoming to black folks to see so many white faces".

SHADYSIDE - Timely hitting and aggressive baserunning can prove to be a deadly combination for a baseball team.
Such was the case in the first game of a doubleheader sweep by Shadyside against Beallsville.
The Tigers were trailing -1 entering the bottom of the third inning, but Shadyside sent nine batters to the plate against Beallsville ace Logan Nippert, with five of them eventually scoring for a 6-4 lead.
In the second game, Shadyside didn't waste any time in jumping on the Blue Devils, scoring nine times in the first two innings before going on for a 14-2 victory in five innings.
The Tigers received strong pitching from Adam Stupak, who had five strikeouts and one walk. He also helped his cause with a RBI single.
Chase Kinemond, who has been on a tear during the first week, had a double, triple, single and two RBI. Cody Hudson added three singles and four RBI. Dorris had two singles and a double.
Chase Mercer, who suffered the loss, had a RBI single.

St. Louis (The Cardinal Nation Show) - Our own Mike Shannon is among the ten of most beloved and honored baseball broadcasters named today as the finalists for the 2013 Ford C. Frick Award. The award is presented annually for excellence in baseball broadcasting by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
The 10 finalists are: Tom Cheek, Ken Coleman, Jacques Doucet, John Gordon, Bill King, Graham McNamee, Eric Nadel, Eduardo Ortega, Mike Shannon and Dewayne Staats. The winner of the 2013 Frick Award will be announced on December 4 at the Baseball Winter Meetings and honored during Hall of Fame Weekend, July 26-29, 2013 in Cooperstown.
The 10 finalists for the 2013 Frick Award include the three fan selections produced from online balloting at the Hall of Fame's Facebook page - www.facebook.com/baseballhall - over two separate rounds in August, September and October. A total of 34,283 votes were cast. Cheek, King and Doucet emerged as the top three fan selections, respectively, in the online voting. The other seven candidates were chosen by a Hall of Fame research committee. Doucet, Nadel, Ortega, Shannon and Staats are the active broadcasters on the ballot. Gordon is the only other living candidate among the finalists.
Final voting for the 2013 Frick Award will be conducted by a 21-member electorate, comprised of the 16 living Frick Award recipients and five broadcast historians/columnists, including past Frick honorees Marty Brennaman, Jerry Coleman, Gene Elston, Joe Garagiola, Jaime Jarrin, Milo Hamilton, Tony Kubek, 2012 Frick Award winner Tim McCarver, Denny Matthews, Jon Miller, Felo Ramirez, Vin Scully, Lon Simmons, Bob Uecker, Dave Van Horne and Bob Wolff, and historians/columnists Bob Costas (NBC), Barry Horn (Dallas Morning News), Stan Isaacs (formerly of NY Newsday), Ted Patterson (historian) and Curt Smith (historian).
Shannon has called Cardinals games for 41 years following a nine-year playing career with the Redbirds. To be considered, an active or retired broadcaster must have a minimum of 10 years of continuous major league broadcast service with a ball club, network, or a combination of the two. More than 200 broadcasters were eligible for consideration for the award based on these qualifications for 2013.
The annual award is named in memory of Hall of Famer Ford C. Frick, renowned sportswriter, radio broadcaster, National League president and Baseball commissioner. Past recipients of the Ford C. Frick Award:

Reviewed by 9 customers
I used these as a replacement for my high school socks that ripped and these are definitely top notch! These pair of socks are so comfortable and thin. Will never regret buying these.
They are Nike what else can I say.
The socks are good quality and have a good price, the little padding on the bottom front is great.
Socks shrinked to a point that my daughter can't wear them again
Soccer socks work great. #keepitlit
Used for soccer. They are not elastic-y at all! Once they stretch out once they don't stretch back. Have to have these for the team, but we all have to tape them to stay up. Terrible socks for soccer.
Good quality just really had to get on my kids feet and legs. Size for foot is correct just getting it over the shin guards can be a big challenge for you, good luck for them to do on their own.
- Authentic Design
- Durable Construction
Best Uses
- At The Event
- Daily Use
I play both soccer and softball and use these socks for both sports. I have had my nike socks forever, even after tons of games and washes they still hold up! I just buy a bunch of them because of the cheap price and i always tend to lose a sock or two, who doesnt!
- Attractive Design
- Comfortable
- Durable
- Soft
- Stay up
- Poor Fit
- Too tight
Best Uses
- Athletics
The socks are good but are a bit tight for their sizing.They'd be good if you have skinnier than normal legs and have trouble finding socks skinny enough. despite beign a bit tight, they don't seem to cut off any circulation and stretch a decent bit
- Sizing:
- Feels too small
- Was this a gift?:
- No

Legislative History
SUMMARY of
Social Security Amendments of 1983-Signed on April 20, 1983
Makes comprehensive changes in Social Security coverage, financing, and benefit structure. Following are major provisions of the legislation which incorporate the recommendations of the National Commission on Social Security Reform:
Covers under Social Security the following groups: (1) Federal employees hired on or after January 1, 1984; (2) current employees of the legislative branch not participating in the Civil Service Retirement System on December 31, 1983; and (3) all Members of Congress, the President and the Vice-President, Federal judges, and other executive-level political appointees of the Federal Government, effective January 1, 1984. (See P.L. 98-118 and P.L. 98-369 for a modification of this provision. Also see P.L. 98-168 for a related provision.)
Covers under Social Security on a mandatory basis all employees of tax-exempt nonprofit organizations as of January 1, 1984. (See P.L. 98-364 for modification of this provision.)
Prohibits States from terminating Social Security coverage for State and local employees.
Continues eligibility for Social Security benefits for disabled widow(er)s, disabled surviving divorced spouses, and surviving divorced spouses who remarry after entitlement.
Increases benefits for disabled widows or widowers who become eligible for benefits before age 60.
Permits a divorced spouse age 62 or over who has been divorced for at least 2 years to draw spouse's benefits whether or not the former spouse who is eligible for retirement benefits has retired or applied for benefits.
Provides a different method for computing widows and widowers benefits that will increase benefits for many people whose spouses died before reaching age 62.
Eliminates virtually all remaining gender-based distinctions.
Requires the Secretary of HHS, in consultation with the Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee to report on the effects of earnings sharing plans and make recommendations concerning the time periods for implementing earnings sharing proposals.
Delayed the June 1983 cost-of-living adjustment until December 1983 (January 3,1984 checks) and provides for future adjustments payable in January rather than July of each year.
Eliminates windfall Social Security benefits for workers who are first eligible after 1985 for both a pension from non-covered employment and Social Security retirement or disability benefits.
Provides for cost-of-living increases based on prices or wages--whichever is less--if the trust funds fall below a specified level.
Advances scheduled increases in Social Security tax rates. Social Security tax rates (which include the Hospital Insurance tax rates) for employers and employees will increase to 7.0 percent in 1984,
7.05 percent in 1985, 7.15 percent in 1986-87, 7.51 percent in 1988-89 and 7.65 percent in 1990 and thereafter.
{1} Subject to a credit of 0.3 percent for employees.
Increases tax rates on self-employment income equal to the combined employee-employer rates and provides credits against tax liability to offset part of the increase.
Accelerates to twice monthly the frequency with which States are required to deposit withheld Social Security contributions.
Reauthorizes interfund borrowing among the three Social Security trust funds for calendar years 1983 through 1987 with repayment by the end of 1989.
Provides for crediting the OASDI and HI trust funds at the beginning of each month with revenues to be received during the month and for special reports by the Boards of Trustees in the event the trust fund assets fall below 20 percent of annual expenditures.
Requires operations of the four Social Security trust funds to be shown as a separate function within the Federal budget for FY 1985-1992 and removes operation of the OASDI and HI trust funds from the unified budget beginning in FY 1993.
Required the Chairmen of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee to appoint a panel to conduct a study concerning the establishment of the Social Security Administration as an independent agency.
Transfers to the Social Security trust funds from the general fund lump sum payments for: (1) the value of the additional Social Security benefits arising from pre-1957 gratuitous military service wage credits; (2) the amount equivalent to the combined employer-employee Social Security taxes on the gratuitous military service wage credits for the period from 1957-83; (reimburses the trust funds on an annual basis for employer-employee taxes on such wage credits for service after 1983); and (3) the amount of past and future OASDI benefit checks (including interest) that are not presented for payment within 6 months.
Beginning in 1984, includes up to one-half of Social Security benefits as taxable income for taxpayers whose adjusted gross income, combined with half their benefits and any tax-exempt interest they may have exceeds $25,000 for a single taxpayer and $32,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly. Benefits received by married taxpayers filing separately are taxable without regard to other income. Appropriates amounts equal to estimated tax liability to the Social Security trust funds.
Changes the earnings test for beneficiaries age 65 and over so that $1 in benefits will be withheld for each $3 of earnings above the annual exempt amount, beginning in 1990.
Increases the delayed retirement credit in gradual steps from 3 percent for workers reaching full benefit retirement age (age 65) before 1990, to 8 percent for workers reaching full benefit retirement age after 2008.
Raises the age of eligibility for unreduced retirement benefits in two stages to 67 by the year 2027. Workers born in 1938 will be the first group affected by the gradual increase. Benefits will still be available at age 62, but with greater reduction.
Requires the Secretary of HHS to conduct a comprehensive study and analysis of the implications of the changes in retirement age for those individuals affected by the provision for increasing full retirement age who, because they are engaging in physically demanding employment or because they are unable to extend their working careers for health reasons, may not find their work lifetimes are increased as a result of general improvements in longevity.
Suspends auxiliary or survivors benefits to aliens outside the U.S. for more than 6 consecutive calendar months unless the beneficiary had resided in the U.S. for at least 5 years and, during that period, the relationship of the beneficiary to the worker which is the basis for payment was in existence.
Extends the current limitation on payment of disability insurance benefits to convicted felons while in prison to include old-age and survivors insurance benefits.
Requires the establishment of a system under which the States can voluntarily contract with HHS to supply information derived from official death certificates to facilitate comparison with benefit program records in order to prevent payments from being made to deceased persons.
Requires the issuance of all new and replacement Social Security cards issued after October 30, 1983, on banknote paper.
The law made other changes in Social Security, Medicare and Supplemental Security Income. For instance, it provided for an increase in SSI benefit rates beginning with July 1983 by $20 for an individual and $30 for a couple. Future automatic SSI cost-of-living increases will be made in January.

text: Hi folk! How do you go about debugging why a Zimlet isn't working? More importantly, -all- of them are not working. While running 4.5.8, I was using only the default Zimlets, and there was no date highlighting, no url highlighting, etc. When I upgraded to 4.5.9, I briefly saw the date highlighting (and others) working. However, I installed the yahoo maps Zimlet from the extras directory and now none of them work. I removed the yahoo maps one and everything is -still- not working. I don't see anything in the logs that's telling me what's going on. Any ideas? I've tried disabling and reenabling various zimlets with no success.

May 30, 2016
AMSTERDAM (AP) -- A spokesman for Dutch police investigating how needles got into six turkey sandwiches on Delta Air Lines flights from Amsterdam to U.S. cities last month says it's too early to say whether there is any connection with a new incident on Air Canada.
Air Canada said Tuesday a passenger found what appears to be a sewing needle in a catered sandwich on board a flight from Victoria, British Columbia, to Toronto.
Dutch police officer Robert van Kapel said Dutch investigators have been interrogating witnesses in the chain of people who had access to the Delta sandwiches, and were examining the actual sandwiches Wednesday.
He said it was too early to rule out a copycat or link with the Air Canada incident, which is also being investigated.

Gary P. Arbino
Chair, Biblical Studies
Professor of Archaeology and Old Testament
Curator of the Marian Eakins Archaeology Collection
Ph.D. Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary
M.Div Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary
B.A. Humboldt State University
A native Californian, Dr. Arbino has been at Golden Gate since 1986 and began his full-time teaching duties in 1996. For Dr. Arbino, the integration of text and context is essential for the interpretation of God's Word. Because of this, he seeks to bring the Old Testament to life for students, challenging them to read fully and carefully the words of Scripture to see their beauty, detail, and nuance as an inspired product of their ancient world. In this way, Dr. Arbino feels that "we will be conformed to the text rather than insisting that the text conform to us."
Since 1990, Dr. Arbino has been active in archaeological excavations. He has served on staff at several digs in the Middle East: Tel Miqne-Ekron, Tall al-Umeryi, Beth Shemesh, and Tel Rehov. He currently serves as the Senior Field Archaeologist for the Tel Gezer Excavations, a position he has held since 2006.
As longtime Curator of the Seminary's archaeological museum, Dr. Arbino brings the results of archaeological fieldwork and analysis to students and local community members. Over the past two decades he has created over 15 different installations in the small museum and is currently expanding the space into its new second room.
Through his writings and presentations, Dr. Arbino hopes to engage both the scholarly and church communities in discussions about the meaning of the Bible as seen through a grounding in its historical and cultural contexts. He is active in professional organizations including the Society of Biblical Literature, National Association of Professors of Hebrew, and American Schools of Oriental Research, for which he has served as a Trustee since 2004.
Dr. Arbino is active in church, where he teaches a weekly adult Bible study class and serves as Church Moderator. He lives with his wife, Maggie, and their dog, Sophie, in Petaluma.

THE CAPITAL, TALLAHASSEE, July 6, 2012
Brandon Larrabee, The News Service of Florida
A libertarian legal group said Thursday that it would appeal a ruling that let stand many of the state's regulations on groups of individuals who campaign for or against ballot initiatives.
The Institute for Justice said the ruling, against three friends from Sarasota who ran radio ads against a proposed land-management constitutional amendment in 2010, would apply more difficult regulations on normal citizens than on major corporations under the U.S. Supreme Court's controversial ruling in the Citizens United case.
"If these laws are too burdensome for Exxon Mobil and the AFL-CIO, imagine how burdensome they are for ordinary people who can't afford to hire professional campaign managers," said the institute's Paul Sherman.
Under state law, any group of two or more people who raise or spend more than $500 on an election count as a "political committee." That would subject the Sarasota group to disclosure and reporting requirements.
"These laws keep ordinary people from speaking out about politics," Nathan Worley, one of the plaintiffs, said in a statement. "If you want to speak out on a controversial issue, and you can?t afford a lawyer, you?re asking for trouble."
Worley was one of four people who decided to run $600 worth of ads in 2010 to oppose a radio ad against the "hometown democracy" amendment that voters ended up rejecting. But the group also wanted to raise money from other sources.
In the ruling, issued late Tuesday, District Court Judge Robert Hinkle said the law struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in Citizens United -- one that barred corporations and unions from spending their own funds on election ads and instead required them to form a political action committee -- was different than Florida's requirement.
"Each plaintiff is free to speak as much as the plaintiff chooses and need not register as a political committee in order to do so," Hinkle wrote. "It is only the plaintiffs? decision to act jointly -- and to pool their funds -- that triggers the application of the Florida political-committee provisions."
Hinkle did strike down a portion of the law that bars political committees from spending money raised in the last five days before an election. He had already blocked enforcement of that statute earlier in the case.
"In the days of electronic filing and internet access to public records, any assertion that a five-day lag time is needed to provide meaningful public access has too little weight to justify a ban on core First Amendment speech," Hinkle wrote.

What later surprised fans of his fun-loving persona was the fact that his early years were marked by sadness and loneliness - in no small part due to Carey losing his father to a brain tumor when he was only eight, as well as enduring sexual abuse at the hands of a family member. In order to make ends meet, Carey's mother worked long hours, leaving him to find solace in television and comedy records, or practicing with the school marching band. Though Carey developed a reputation among friends as a comic wit, in private, he suffered from depression to such a degree tha... Continue Bio >>

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - The reality of the 1200 block of C Street NE is far from what most would envision of a District neighborhood awakened with Christmas Eve gunfire and a dead neighbor on the street.
Update: Click here to see video showing "persons of interest."
On Christmas Day, a memorial candle burning on the sidewalk was the only evidence left of the murder of resident Jason Emma as neighbors grappled with sadness and the threat of an unexplained murder.
"That just doesn't happen here," said a woman walking her identically dressed basset hounds. "There's a lot of children who've moved in."
In addition to shock, neighbors expressed sadness and new fears.
The neighborhood is about a mile from the Capitol, brimming with well maintained homes and young families.
Police found Emma "slumped over the steering wheel" in his car at about 2:15 Monday morning.
Shortly after an August nearly fatal beating near Eastern Market, an official said there had been six assaults in that Capitol Hill neighborhood, about a half mile away, in 2012.
Residents say the transitional neighborhood around the 1200 block of C Street NE has made large strides over the past five years in recruiting professionals and new investments in property.
They acknowledge car burglaries and other property crimes, but say serious assaults, or in this case murder, are fears this neighborhood hadn't feared openly in years.
Neighbors say Emma's car was parked 12th Place NE and C St. They say he had just moved into the neighborhood and lived about a block and a half down the street.
The Metropolitan Police Department issued a statement offering up to $25,000 in reward money for information leading to a conviction in any DC murder.

Public Art and Design in Broward County Parks
The Broward County Public Art and Design program, established in 1978 as Art in Public Places, allocates two percent of the total new construction budget for Broward County governmental facilities for commissioned artists to provide design expertise and to create artworks within a broad range of capital improvement projects. The program contributes to the enhancement of urban design through the creation of commissioned works of art that create a sense of place; that improve the visual environment for the citizens of Broward County; and that advance the missions of the county departments where the projects reside. A dynamic interaction between selected artists and interested constituent groups during the design stages of the projects results in the artworks you find in public places throughout the county.
Here are the Broward County parks that currently feature Public Art and Design projects:
Anne Kolb Nature CenterMangrove Root Benches and Plaza (1995) by Christine FederighiThe plaza sits between the park administration building and the Mangrove Hall. Federighi's integrated work encompasses paver design for the plaza and four coral rock benches with bronze legs that simulate mangrove roots. "The benches were designed to reflect man's involvement with the site," says the artist. "We sit with Nature."
Central Broward Regional Park & StadiumWhirls and Swirls and a Vortex on Water (2008) by Alice AycockThe Pennsylvania-born, New York-based artist, known worldwide for her large, semi architectural industrial sculptures, received a commission in 2004 to design a water feature at the State Road 7/U.S. 441 entrance to the park. The metal, steel, concrete, and acrylic sculpture hovers slightly above water in an elliptical-shaped pool. Massive metal ribbons spiral around an acrylic sphere that has an internal sculptural element, alongside a metal vortex that delves below the water's surface. Integrating nature, science, art, and technology, the artwork's composition refers to the dynamic and tumultuous weather patterns in South Florida and the gravitational forces present on the earth and throughout the solar system, illustrating the expanding universe and underwater marine life.
Fern Forest Nature CenterFern-Lore Guardian (1994) by Jerome MeadowsThis pair of sculptures, easily visible from an elevated boardwalk, stands out in the woods, not far from the park's community center. Each is made of cedar wood and bronze. The artist's statement explains that the piece is "a site-specific work commissioned expressly for the Fern Forest Nature Center. The sculpture draws visual and conceptual reference from seeds and plants, juxtaposing organic wood forms with metal."
Franklin ParkThe Word Garden (2000) by Angela Curreri & Rick YaskoThis Broward-based pair of artists designed a colored, patterned concrete walkway encircling the park's playground. Along the walkway, they placed seven colored concrete benches engraved with the Seven Principles of Kwanzaa in both Swahili and English, along with seven inspirational quotes, each related to a specific principle. According to their statement, the artists "met with the Franklin Park community many times during their five years working in this neighborhood. The community repeatedly expressed the desire for the project to be both inspirational and educational."
Long Key Natural Area & Nature CenterIsland Garden (2009) by Lorna JordanOne of the artist's concerns is the idea of the garden as a framework for enhancing habitat, and in that context this work heightens the visitor's experience of the nature center's topography. Pathway mosaics refer to the sedimentary layers that have created the aquifer's layers of limestone, sand, and sandstone; pools and planters reveal the interaction between water and plants; and benches and a trellis system provide a contemplative place to experience shade and the coolness of water. Jordan, who has a B.A. from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, has led teams for several award-winning projects of similar budget and scope that blur the boundaries among sculpture, ecology, architecture, and theater.
Reverend Samuel Delevoe ParkPillars of the Community (1997) by Chisseko KondoweThe artist involved the Delevoe Park community in the design of this artwork by selecting 84 names of community leaders past and present to be inscribed on his hand-made tiles, which adorn 42 pillars of the community center. Four tiles per pillar resulted in 168 tiles, along with 104 tiles for the two park gates. The goal, according to Kondowe's artist's statement, was "to capture the tranquility of the environment at Delevoe Park."
Roosevelt Gardens ParkScience Project/Layup Shot/Rock Solid/Stringbeans (2013) by Cheryl Foster
A multipiece artwork located in the computer room and lobby of the park's community center, in the form of a series of tableaux that illustrate desired themes such as education, family values, diversity, sharing, learning, parents teaching and sharing with children, and strong male presence. The paintings are displayed above eye level and appear to float on the walls.
Secret Woods Nature CenterMetamorphosis (2002) by Raymond OliveroUpon entering the front door to the nature center's Monarch Interpretive Center exhibit hall, visitors pass through a pair of glass fresco doors featuring a colorful butterfly wing motif. The mosaic floor illustrates the butterfly's flight pattern, which leads to different sections of the hall. This site-specific, integrated artwork fuses nature with art and design. "I have taken the flight pattern of the butterfly as the basis for the pathway," the artist says in a statement. "I chose the butterfly not only for its unique flight pattern, but also because it is featured at the park, particularly at its entrance area….I also chose the butterfly motif for the butterfly's innate variety and beauty as well as its metamorphosis, which makes it one of nature's mysteries and secrets. In short, the butterfly offers the greatest degree of aesthetic and metaphorical possibilities."

Summary:Jane Goodale has everything going for her. She's a producer on a popular daytime talk show and is in a hot romance with the show's dashing executive, Ray. But when the relationship goes awry, Jane begins an extensive study of the male animal in an attempt to understand how and why Ray has so suddenly and inexplicably jilted her. Turning to Freud, Darwin, her own lovelorn friends, and a cabinet full of theories, Jane begins a safari of sorts to track down the strange lair of the human heart. Along the way, she puts her "studies" and romantic misadventures to use as a pseudonymous sex columnist--and becomes a sensation in the process.

There's a whole lot more to the PAC-12 networks than football and basketball. They have some excellent coverage of volleyball and I saw some very exciting water polo matches last fall. This week they're showing lots of hoops as well as track, golf, gymnastics, wrestling, swimming and diving from 2012. PAC-12 is a whole lot more interesting than Root Sports around these parts.
I realize that you're likely going to denigrate the other sports because that's what is dictated by the apologist manifesto but I'd rather watch volleyball and sit through a syndicated sports rehash of how such and such basketball or football team didn't show up.
Don't be silly. Those don't move the needle. Name me one channel driven by volleyball and water polo.
The fact is that the time when the PAC 12 network has the most leverage is the beginning of football season. Second is basketball. The rest is good stuff but icing on the cake. DirecTV nor anyone else is going to be driven to add the channel for gymnastics.

- Whole Home is spotty at best. HR34 can't see content on two of the three other HR2x units and only one of the HR2x can see the 34. Restarts don't seem to fix it, nor does going through the network setup.
I had a HR34 installed Sunday and it can only see 2 of 3 other dvrs, however the other dvr's see each other and the hr34...
Got the idea from another thread...static IP'ing all four units seems to have resolved this. Prob was the HR2x could see the HR-34, but the HR-34 would see the HR2x (sometimes).
Let's see if this "solution" lasts.

In this inconspicuous NBA draft, it seems the strongest opinion is to have no opinion. Weak draft, many pundits are declaring it breathlessly, not bothering to remind you that even weak drafts produce a few memorable players. This year, it's much easier to punt than predict who will stand out among a crop lacking a surefire superstar.
So there's this notion the draft won't have any intrigue without a Patrick Ewing or Shaquille O'Neal or LeBron James at the top. But if you're a draft nerd like me — a prisoner of potential — you're captivated by figuring out which team will make the right decisions in a class that could be fraught with busts.
"This could be a draft in which some of the late first-rounders, second-rounders and maybe undrafted players wind up having better careers than players drafted ahead of them," said longtime draftnik Chris Monter, the editor and publisher of College Basketball News and Monter Draft News.
If that's the case, you can understand this draft well simply by looking at the two most prominent players of local interest, Kelly Olynyk and Peyton Siva. They might define the 2013 draft better than higher-profile stars such as Ben McLemore, Nerlens Noel and Victor Oladipo.

Most Read Stories
Olynyk, the versatile Gonzaga 7-footer who showcased stunning improvement while helping the Zags earn their first No. 1 national ranking this past season, is the most skilled big man in a class that could have 10 bigs selected in the first round. He is a projected late-lottery or mid-first round pick. He has clear strengths and weaknesses, consistent with the rest of the likely high picks. No one is willing to guarantee immediate stardom. He is considered a rotational player at worst, but the hope is he can develop into more, especially if he continues his rate of improvement from the past two years.
On the other end of the hype train is Peyton Siva, the former Franklin High School star who helped Louisville win the national title in April. Siva is an undersized guard (6 feet) in a draft with a good number of interesting point guards, all of whom have different skill sets. Siva is a projected second-round pick, which means he could go undrafted because project big men and international players tend to dominate the second round. He is a player who spent four years at Louisville and possesses great athleticism, quickness, leadership skills and character. But many NBA teams have scrutinized his height, his jump shot and his upside.
In Olynyk and Siva, you see the essence of this draft. There are good players of all sizes, but all of them carry risk. Can a team get normal value for a lottery pick this year? And as the draft advances, when teams are looking at a list of players with distinct flaws, can they still make a useful pick?
This draft will truly separate the good talent evaluators from the bad. And more than any year in recent memory, the difference between good and bad drafting will come down to which teams can define and predict these players' strengths properly and have a plan to minimize their weaknesses.
Which brings us back to Olynyk and Siva. In the right systems, both are worthy draft picks who can help a team avoid embarrassment.
Olynyk isn't a can't-miss prospect, and Gonzaga players haven't been stellar in the NBA, but his skills at 7 feet tall are impossible to ignore. He has a nice shooting touch that can get better. He can pass. He can dribble to get past defenders with slow feet. If a team is looking for a third big man, a power forward who can play center at times, to come off the bench and play 15-18 minutes as a rookie, he's a good selection. In the future, he might develop into more, but that's who he is right now. He's not a shot-blocking rim protector, but he could be similar to Spencer Hawes. He's a safer mid-first round option than, say, Michael Carter-Williams or Mason Plumlee.
And Siva is worthy of a second-round pick, or at least a serious look if he goes undrafted. He's a mature young player who could add to an NBA locker room immediately. He's probably a third point guard at this point, but if his jumper develops, he could turn into a quality backup. He's a tempo-changer and energizer with his quickness. Word is, he fared well against some first-round type point guards during private workouts, so teams shouldn't dismiss a proven winner so easily.
"Unfortunately, teams like to gamble with size in the second round," Monter said. "He could get squeezed by some big men. But a case can be made for Siva by looking at Isaiah Thomas from Washington. He doesn't go until the last pick (of the 2011 draft), but he was picked by the right team, and he's had a good career in Sacramento so far. Finding the right team is so important."
In this weird NBA draft, the right team can make good use of Olynyk and Siva.

SKYVUE - Monroe Central coach Troy Baker embarks on his 11th season at the helm of the Seminoles girls' basketball program and does so returning some key cogs from a team that finished 15-7, second in the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference and advanced to the sectional final before bowing out to West Muskingum.
Senior Chelsea Roberts, a four-year letterwinner is back after averaging a team-leading 10.2 points per game as a junior.
Also back is fellow senior Chelsie Tewanger. Tewanger canned 35 3-pointers as a junior and averaged an even 10 points per night.
Joining the two is a senior Anna LaFollette, a fellow returning letterwinner, who checked in with nearly five points per game.
That's the good news.
The bad news is that is where the meaningful varsity game experience ends.
Monroe Central graduated six seniors off the 2011-2012 team, most notably Demitra Habig and Kayley Stephens, the next two leading scorers at 6.6 and 6.2 per game, respectively.
Also gone is point guard Kelsey Parks (4.7 ppg) along with key backups Casey Digity (4.9), Madison Bettinger and Kate Fickell.
Habig had been a mainstay in the post since her sophomore season and Stephens and Parks had play large roles in the 'Noles recent success.
The remaining returnees from a season ago all averaged less than a point per game.
What that means is Baker will be counting on his experienced seniors, Roberts and Tewanger in particular, to get vocal and start leading the tribe.
"They probably need to step up more in the leadership role," Baker said.
The 5-foot-6 Tewanger provides Baker his top perimeter threat.
She's also an adept ball handler who will provide beneficial support as the 'Noles attempt to break in a new point guard.
"Chelsie is a good shooter, a good ball handler and has good basketball sense," Baker said.
Roberts, also a top-notch volleyball player during the fall, should provide a good-sized portion of the offensive muscle. She's the most versatile and most seasoned, as her final season will witness the senior obtain her fourth letter.
Roberts (5-7) has been in the 6-to-10 points per game range since her freshman campaign and Baker is hoping the guard/forward finally has that breakout year offensively to go with her capable defensive skills.
The final returnee with major court experience is LaFollette, a 5-8 forward.
Replacing Parks at point will be fellow senior Melanie Stimpert.
Stimpert has been running the system on the junior varsity level, so while she may need a few games to adjust to the tempo of the varsity game, she knows the squad's plays and press-breakers. Plus, she'll have the capable hands of Tewanger and Roberts to aid her in her transition.
"We have to stay fundamentally sound and take care of the ball," Baker said. "So far, she's been doing alright. Any first year (varsity) point guard is going to have some growing pains but she's a scrapper and has been working extremely hard.
"She'll take her shots when needed, but she knows her first priority is to dish off."
The Monroe front court's tallest player will be 5-9 senior Elizabeth Robey, whom Baker says has a nice shooting touch to go with her size.
One final senior, Amanda Haslam, should see considerable time at guard. Standing all of 5-3, she has range, as well as a knack for finding an opening among the trees and snaring rebounds.
Three juniors round out what figures to be a short varsity bench early on: Kelsey Dick (5-8), Annie Digity (5-7) and Laycie Ball (5-6).
With a nine-player rotation, limiting injuries and unnecessary fouls will be paramount.
As will the team's level of conditioning.
"We want to be able to play whatever we need to be in in order to be successful," Baker said. "But ideally, we want to try to create a little uptempo atmosphere."
An aggressive philosophy on both ends of the court and only nine players to do it with has translated into quite a few more monsters before and after practice. However, Baker feels they've been up to the challenge.
The coach thinks down the line, a few of the underclassmen may move up and contribute as the season goes on.
But for now, he wants to keep the younger players active at both the junior varsity and freshman-squad levels.
On the small side for a Division III school, Baker wants to take full advantage of the luxury of a freshman team by getting his team all the experience it can, no matter the level.
It's a strategy he feels has benefited the program as a whole one the coach wasn't able to utilize his first few years as head coach.
"We've come a long way from those first couple of years," said Baker, who first took over during the 2001-2002 season. "We finally had some continuity and girls were continuing to play and that allowed the underclassmen to come in an play junior varsity and get some experience.
"If the younger kids come in and earn their spot, they will move up. But at the beginning, I hated having to throw the freshmen and sophomores in because they weren't ready to play. They had to play. It was out of necessity.
"We'd struggle, they'd get frustrated and wouldn't stick it out four years."
Baker knows he'll need experienced legs on the court to get through the Pioneer Valley Conference schedule against the likes of Caldwell, Frontier, Shenandoah, River and Fort Frye. Throw in Shadyside on the schedule and Baker knows his team will have to hit the ground running when it opens the season against River.
The good news is that game will be at home, literally, for the first time in school history.
The Seminoles' students finally have a real high school to call home with the opening of the new Monroe Central facility this fall. Included in that unveiling was the Seminoles' new basketball home. No more traveling down the road to the old Skyvue High School for home games.
"The gym looks great," Baker said. "Only time will tell if it's a shooter's gym or not but it's been a long-time coming.
"I think everyone in the community is excited about it."
One area the 'Noles will need to improve on if they wish to equal or better the success of last season is at the free-throw line.
Monroe shot 57 percent at the stripe in 2011-2012.
