New York state Assemblyman Vito Lopez, facing the threat of expulsion and mounting calls for his immediate ouster, said Saturday that he will resign office on Monday.
In a letter to the office of Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, Mr. Lopez said he would step down at 9 a.m. Monday, according to a copy of the letter released by Mr. Silver's office.
New York state Assemblyman Vito Lopez Associated Press
Mr. Lopez—a Brooklyn Democrat who was one of the chamber's most powerful members until he was ensnared in an ethics investigation that found he sexually harassed staff members—had said Friday that he planned to resign at the end of the legislative session in June.
But Mr. Lopez's plan to remain in elected office for the remainder of the session prompted calls for his immediate expulsion from the state Legislature, and on Friday Mr. Silver introduced a resolution asking the Assembly ethics committee to "recommend, if warranted, additional sanctions, including expulsion" and to do so "expeditiously." Mr. Silver had intended to advance the resolution on Monday.
Mr. Lopez, who has in the past denied harassing women who worked in his office, had said on Friday that he was stepping down in order to run for New York City Council in November. "I have maintained my innocence throughout this matter and I believe no criminal investigation should ever have been conducted," he said in a statement Friday.
Mr. Lopez's chief of staff didn't immediately respond to an inquiry Saturday about whether Mr. Lopez still intends to pursue a City Council seat.
The state ethics commission found in a report released earlier this week that Mr. Lopez used his office "to reward certain female employees for submitting to his inappropriate and offensive behavior, and to bully those same employees who did not acquiesce to his demands for companionship and entertainment."
A separate investigation conducted by a special prosecutor, Staten Island District Attorney Dan Donovan, found Mr. Lopez's actions didn't rise to the level of criminality.

Perl Lite |
Aug 30, 2012 | Morsker | Alpha | ||
This is my attempt at an oUF layout that looks Perl-like. I really like the "Perl" style of frames, with the separate name bar on the top, and the separate borders around each section. It's an artistic tradition going back to the original Perl addon in vanilla WoW, and then through Nymbia's Perl, X-Perl, and Perl Classic. I'm expanding this tradition to include a light-weight Perl layout that uses the popular oUF framework. My first goal is to have the basic target, pet, & party frames, with... |

A-line Taffeta Gown with One Shoulder Detail Style 9WG3327
So Happy with this Gown
I fell in love with this gown once I tried it on. In fact I told the sales lady I was not interested in this dress and I only tried it on for the color. I did not regret my decision. I looked and felt gorgeous for my 20th Anniversary vow renewal!
October 15, 2013
Fit for a Queen!!
this is my dream dress - simple yet elegant with just a little bit of sassy flair (shoulder detail); my Mom loved it (I picked it before I went back to Davids to pick out her gown); I was SO relieved when she said she was happy with my choice; my husband was also happy with it; I received so many compliments on how classy the dress was; I added a jeweled belt, a headband with a single row of rhinestones & a veil to complete my wedding day look; this dress would flatter any figure and can also accentuate the positive :)
would recommend this gown for anyone ... it made me feel like a Queen!!
September 13, 2013
This dress was very true to size. It is very flattering for curvy girls like myself. It required very little alterations because it fit so well. It looked great in photos :) It was comfy & classy! I added a sequined waist belt for my wedding & it made it look even better
July 26, 2013
I Had No Idea
My wedding is only 4.5 months away, so when I went into David's Bridal, the consultant asked me my preferred style of dress. I told her that before we talk style, we needed to talk pricing because I am on a budget and I don't have a lot of time! I had just read some info in a bridal book about trying on different styles that you may not think is "you". I was open to that idea. I told the consultant that and we went to work. This was the first dress that I tried on and I LOVED IT!!! It's so me because it's different and honestly I never would have thought I would fall in love with this dress. I tried on about 11 other dresses that day, and this is the one that I ended up saying yes to. I paired it with a sash and it is just BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't wait to walk down the aisle in November in my fabulous dress that says "me" all over it.

A church in Little Rock, Arkansas at the middle of a controversy regarding the play "Merry Christmas Charlie Brown" has decided to remove itself from the issue.
Agape Church will not be offering the program for school matinees and will instead just have the public performances on the weekend.
The controversy began when some first and second grade teachers at Terry Elementary invited students to a performance of "Merry Christmas Charlie Brown" at the church on Friday, December 14.
From there, a parent reached out to the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers (ASF) with concerns the production of "Merry Christmas Charlie Brown" went against her religious beliefs. The ASF then mounted a campaign to have the field trip called off.
