Administered by The Executive Office of Elder Affairs, Group Adult Foster Care (GAFC) is a Medicaid program that reimburses providers for providing administrative and clinical oversight and daily assistance with personal care services to financially and clinically eligible elderly and disabled individuals who are at risk of institutionalization.
In order to qualify, participants in GAFC must:
Elder Affairs reimburses the provider for the provision of personal care services and the administration of the program. Effective April 1, 2008, the per diem reimbursement rate is $40.33. Approximately $1,150 per participant per month is reimbursed to the provider for services, while the resident remains responsible for the rent. See Supplemental Security Income Living Arrangement G (SSIG) for a detailed explanation of assistance with rent.
For more information about GAFC, visit massresources.org.
A combined MassHealth and Medicare program that includes health care and social services, to help low-income seniors stay healthy and able to live in their own homes. A team of health professionals develops a plan of total individualized care for each member. Services are provided by a network of medical and other professionals, including a primary care doctor, nurses, specialists, and a geriatric support coordinator, who are part of a senior care organization. For more information about SCO, visit massresources.org.
The PACE model of care is a national insurance program funded jointly by Medicare and Medicaid. PACE provides and coordinates all needed preventive, primary, acute and long term care services so that older individuals can continue living in the community. The PACE model is centered around the belief that it is better for the well-being of seniors with chronic care needs and their families to be served in the community whenever possible.
Although all PACE participants must be certified to need nursing home care to enroll in PACE, only about seven percent of PACE participants reside in a nursing home nationally. If a PACE enrollee does need nursing home care, the PACE program pays for it and continues to coordinate his or her care.

Basically, I installed the JBoss plugin, then moved my JBoss install directory and changed my Windows environment variable to the new, correct path. However, Eclipse seems to still have the old path so every time I try to run the server it can't find it. How can I change this URL? Should I just reinstall? I'm sure there's a simple answer!
Thanks for your time.

mmm.. bike pr0n.
My frustration level is currently right up there. FedEx fubared my delivery rather nicely. Instead of delivering the frame this morning (as per my phone call w/ them last night), they left the frame off the truck today and sent out a letter in the mail informing me it was going to be returned back to the sender since I hadn't been there to pick it up on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd attempts. Here's the funny thing, there were no 2nd, 3rd attempts ... and apparently I was talking to someone who doesn't even work for FedEx last night because that conversation did absolutely ****-all. Now they're saying it will show up at my work sometime tomorrow between the hours of 10am and ... oh, let's say 6pm.
At least it will end up at the shop so I can start working on it as soon as the rest of the parts come in.

ugh.. fedex is the ****ing worst man. They always find a way to bungle things. Actually, I think all mail delivery type services are pretty craptacular. I mean, it isn't rocket science damnit!
holy... I'm pretty pissed off about USPS rite now...
I've been waiting 3 weeks for 5 different things to come. NONE of it has arrived from the states yet.
something better get to my house tomorrow or I'm going to go insane.
physics hertz.
The worst is when you order something that could be damaged in the mail. Every extra day it's out there it's more likely to get borked.
My current laptop took forever and a day to get to me (it was a custom build so it had to come from Apple in California). Thankfully it was totally unharmed!
Okay, on a brighter note - anyone catch the info from the Steve Jobs' keynote today at Macworld? The new iMac's look great ... hopefully they'll be able to dual boot Windows and OSX. That would be the perfect setup for me.
yeah, I saw some of the coverage after the fact. Good to know they're ahead of schedule. My powerbook is about a year old, which is good as far as I'm concerned. I'd prefer to give it another year or so for software companies to put out universal binaries and such. I'm also interested to see some objective reviews (say from arstechnica.com, or some other fairly objective / non-fanboy site) of the new intel platform. Just because Steve says the iMacs are 2x faster doesn't mean it's true... I mean, that's kind of a BS / subjective measurement in itself.
But yeah, dual-booting would be great. Also, if game companies could easily port to MacOS (or run in a dual-booting windows enviro) I would be ultra happy. It's the only thing the Mac lacks as far as I'm concerned. Although I got an xbox360, which is covering those bases quite well!
Anyhoo.. </nerdtalk>
*opens nerdtalk tag back up*
http://news.com.com/2100-1014_3-5733756-2.htmlAfter Jobs' presentation, Apple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller addressed the issue of running Windows on Macs, saying there are no plans to sell or support Windows on an Intel-based Mac. "That doesn't preclude someone from running it on a Mac. They probably will," he said. "We won't do anything to preclude that."

Welcome back, Ted Stein — City Hall surely missed you these last six years.
Stein resigned in a self-righteous huff as Airport Commission president back in 2004 at the height of the pay-to-play scandals that plagued the Hahn Administration.
"I'm hoping that this is the end of this kind of
conduct," Villaraigosa said when Stein quit. "But if it's not, we need to
ferret it out wherever there's any appearance of impropriety."
Controller Laura Chick has raised questions about Stein's role in awarding LAX contracts and helping raise political money from the same contractors — questions that were seized on in the press and by Councilman Antonio Villaraigosa as he laid the groundwork for his mayoral campaign accusing Jimmy Hahn of leading the most corruption administration in decades.
"The tactics employed by the controller — including publicly
implying that the (Airport) Commission may have engaged in wrongdoing wrong·do·er
One who does wrong, especially morally or ethically.
….. Click the link for more information. yet refusing to produce any evidence to support her claim – represent
the worst traits in government," Stein said in his bitter letter of resignation.
"I have been subjected to an array of false, defamatory and
unsubstantiated accusations suggesting that I engaged in or orchestrated
a plan to force URS (an airport contractor) to make political
contributions in order to continue doing business at Los Angeles International Airport — what has been dubbed 'pay to play.' "
Well, time heals all wounds and it should be clear to one and all that the standards of ethical conduct move with the times as the corruption rampant in the Villaraigosa Administration makes the Hahn era misdeeds seem like child's play.
On Thursday, Villaraigosa named Stein to be one of the 26 members of his "Blue Ribbon panel to conduct a comprehensive security review of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and recommend improvements."(LAX-Panel.doc)
It is a distinguished panel of judges, federal prosecutors, experts in
terrorism and emergency operations — and Stein, a San Fernando Valley
developer who focused on projects in Council District 12 where his
long-time friend Hal Bernson and his Chief of Staff Greig Smith held
Smith, who succeeded Bernson and is doing his best to pass the torch of
power to his own chief of staff, Mitch Englander, is himself a member of
the blue ribbon panel as chairman of the Council Public Safety
Committee and nominated Stein to be a member as Villaraigosa's press
release pointedly makes clear.
It is a small, small world this world of City Hall insiders and players and Stein has been part of it for a long, long time.
He was president of the Planning Commission when Tom Bradley was mayor and over-development first surfaced as a major issue.
He was a key player in the administration of Mayor Richard Riordan, serving as a special adviser, then president of the Airport Commission and later the Harbor Commission while his wife served on the highly-paid Public Works Commission.
There's never been another city commissioner quite like Ted Stein.
Intense, one-pointed, domineering, he always was a lightning rod for criticism and controversy as he went far beyond oversight to virtually run departments,often running roughshod over general managers and their executive teams.
That's what made him so valuable to mayors who actually wanted to get things done — and kept getting Stein in trouble.
When Riordan was thwarted by the FAA to raise landing fees for airlines at LAX, Stein
"took the lead … and he hired (Webster) Hubbell, who had just been fired by the
Clinton White House as the Whitewater scandal worsened, to try to get
$50 million in federal funds," Rick Orlov wrote in the Daily News in reviewing Stein's career in 2004.

Stein, a potential target of the investigation, was subpoenaed to appear before a federal grand jury in Arkansas, but was not charged in that case or in the later pay-to-play scandal in the Hahn Administration.
It was during that time period that Stein cultivated a friendship with me as managing editor of the Daily News — a friendship that ended shortly after Hahn took office, named Stein again to head the Airport Commission and I published a story raising questions about the propriety of the appointment in light of Stein's past controversial role in that post. .
From that moment on, Hahn ignored the Daily News, refusing to even come to editorial board meetings and treating the paper as an enemy — which, of course, made it easy to take a critical view of his actions since there was no relationship and so much to criticize.
I bring this all up in the name of full disclosure and because it provides a small window into the small world of City Hall politics — a world in which the inter-connected self-interest of insiders has so ill-served the public interest for so long and caused so much harm to the city.
Laura Chick made an important point in her one-sentence response to Stein's attack when he resigned in 2004, saying: "This is not about one airport commissioner or about a blue-ribbon commission's report, it is about leadership from the
That was true then, and it's just as true today.
The problem with city government in Los Angeles was never people like Stein or the circle of lobbyists, contractors, developers, unions, political operatives and all the rest of those who feed at the trough of the city treasury.
The problem is the leadership at the top, the mayor and City Council members who take a sworn oath to serve the people but routinely betray that oath and the trust of the people.

The Story of a Life (2004)
by Aharon Appelfeld
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Applefield's book is a strange mix: part autobiography/memoir and partly a book about language, art, culture, and the struggles of a writer to find his authentic voice. The first part, chronicling the author's war years as a child who escaped from a camp and survived by hiding in the woods and passing himself of as a non-Jewish orphan, appealed to me most. However, Applefields subsequent musings about his difficult adaptation to Palestine: socially, linguistically, vocationally, and spiritually are engaging as well. Ultimately, you applaud the fact that in the end the author overcame such steep obstacles, matured as a person and a writer, and was able to finally become the WRITER that he always believed himself to be.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0805211268, Paperback)When Aharon Appelfeld was seven years old the Nazis occupied Czernowitz, his hometown. They penned the Jews into a ghetto and eventually sent whoever had not been shot or starved to death on a forced march across the Ukraine to a labor camp. As men, women, and children fall away around them, Aharon and his father miraculously survive, and Aharon, even more miraculously, escapes from the camp shortly after he arrives there.
The next few years of Aharon's life are both harrowing and heartrending: he hides, alone, in the Ukrainian forests from peasants who are only too happy to turn Jewish children over to the Nazis; he has the presence of mind to pass himself off as an orphaned gentile when he emerges from the forest to seek work; and, at war's end, he joins the stream of refugees as they cross Europe on their way to displaced persons' camps that have been set up for the survivors. Aharon eventually makes his way to Palestine; once there, he attempts to build a new life while struggling to retain the barely remembered fragments of his old life, and he takes his first, tentative steps as a writer. As he begins to receive national attention, Aharon realizes his life's calling: to bear witness to the unfathomable. In this unforgettable work of memory, Aharon Appelfeld offers personal glimpses into the experiences that resonate throughout his fiction.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:21:28 -0400)
When World War II broke out, Aharon Appelfeld was seven years old, the child of an assimilated, middle-class Jewish family in Czernowitz. This is his account of the years which followed - recalling the long journey south at the end of the war, to Italy and then to Israel, where he has to remake a life from nothing.… (more)

Thanks to Harpyness reader Meghan L. for alerting me to yet another Crap Article From A Dude, "All I want for Christmas is to know what she really means" by Vinay Menon, courtesy of the Toronto Star. It's less overtly douche-y than last week's super-creepy misogynist musings from Slate, but it's still a groaner. Meghan described it thusly: The author has kindly translated common lady-statements (obviously filled with hidden lady-meaning) into words that the men in our lives will understand.
It's the same tired old stereotype about women being so different from men that any reasonable gent cannot possibly be expected to understand the silly things that come out of their mouths. It's not the most pernicious sexist stereotype out there, but it's still offensive because it perpetuates the idea that women are the Other, and whatever they say is some kind of double-speak that doesn't need to be taken seriously.
But Menon can't even milk this feeble conceit for laughs. His column is so crashingly boring and strangely unfunny that it winds up being more of a headscratcher, which takes some of the sting out of the inherently chauvinist conceit:
Quote No. 1: "Honey, have you seen the Scotch tape?"
What She Really Means: "Could you please go to Shoppers Drug Mart?"
Quote No. 2: "Let's not waste money on stuff neither of us need!"
What She Really Means: "All I really want is for you to organize the garage!"
Quote No. 3: "Your mother has kindly offered to make all the sides for dinner."
What She Really Means: "Why does your mother hate my cooking?"
[EYEROLL] There's seven more of those quotes…and they only get duller and dumber.To be fair, I have seen the occasional piece by women that claims to decode "What He Really Means"—they're a staple of ladymags and they tend to be equally shitty in terms of reinforcing stereotypes. In Cosmo, men's hidden meaning is usually: "I wish you'd blow me more and quit talking about your feelings" and in, say, Redbook or O the meaning is usually: "I wish you'd let me relax instead of nagging about helping with the kids." Not helpful. If women are ever going to be treated respectfully as equals, we need to get rid of the idea that we're so inherently different that what we say can't be trusted.

One of college football's most colorful rivalries takes place this weekend when the Alabama Crimson Tide meets the Tennessee Volunteers at Bryant-Denny Stadium in the annual "Third Saturday in October" clash between these two Southeastern Conference football titans.
The Crimson Tide and Volunteers celebrate the 90th renewal of this series this weekend in Tuscaloosa. The two teams have met every year since 1928, with the exception of 1943 when neither school fielded a football team due to World War II.
Alabama has had a number of significant wins over Tennessee over the last 89 seasons. RollTide.com will look at some the Crimson Tide's memorable games with the Vols. Today, the 1930, 1934, 1935, 1945, 1953 and 1961 games will be featured. On Friday, read about the games from 1966, 1972, 1973, 1986, 1990, 1993, 2002 and 2005.
Here is a look at some more memorable Alabama-Tennessee games:
Alabama 18, Tennessee 6 (Nov. 18, 1930 - Tuscaloosa)Alabama had a coach under fire before the start of the 1930 regular season. After a series of arguments with school president George Denny and an uprising among fans who were upset over back-to-back 6-3 records that included narrow losses to Tennessee, Wallace Wade submitted his resignation on April 30. It was accepted contingent on him leading the Crimson Tide through one more year. "Coach Wade was boiling mad," John Henry Suther, Alabama's tailback, once recalled. "He was like a blood-thirsty drill sergeant anyway, and those critics made him more fiery ... He challenged us to help him shut up the loudmouths that were making his life miserable."
By the time the Tennessee game arrived, Alabama was unbeaten and untied and its fans had regained spirit. With every ticket sold, 8,000 temporary seats were constructed so 20,000 fans could pack themselves into Denny Stadium. The Volunteers were no match for the Crimson Tide, which won the national title that year. Wade still left to go to Duke.
The 1930 loss to Alabama in Tuscaloosa would be the only loss by a Tennessee football team over a period of 64 games from 1926-1933. During that stretch, Coach Robert Neyland's Vol squads compiled an impressive 57-1-6 record, making this one of the great wins in Crimson Tide history.
Alabama 13, Tennessee 6 (October 20, 1934 - Birmingham)This one was a classic and the outcome was not decided until the final whistle. The running, passing and punting of Alabama's Millard "Dixie" Howell prompted Coach Neyland of Tennessee to rate him as the finest back in the South. Joe Demyanovich scored on an eight-yard run to give Alabama a 6-0 lead in the second quarter. UT tied the game three possessions later with a two-yard TD run by George Craig. Like Alabama, Tennessee missed the extra point. Future NFL Hall of Famer Don Hutson scored on a seven-yard end around in the third quarter for the winning points for Alabama. Howell later made a game-saving tackle on a punt return in the final minutes to preserve the win for the Crimson Tide.
Alabama 25, Tennessee 0 (October 19, 1935 - KnoxvilleAlabama dominated Tennessee in Knoxville and posted a 25-0 win. The Crimson Tide made 17 first downs and 265 yards, while the Vols managed only three first
Alabama 25, Tennessee 7 (October 20, 1945 - Birmingham)Unbeaten Alabama and unbeaten Tennessee clashed in Birmingham. Most observers thought a Rose Bowl berth was at stake, which ended up being the case. Crimson Tide halfback Harry Gilmer put on an astounding running and passing show as the home team dominated. Alabama completed the season unbeaten and untied, also with a victory over Southern Cal in the Rose Bowl, and Tennessee did not lose again.
Alabama 0, Tennessee 0 (October 17, 1953 - Birmingham)The game was televised by NBC Sports, a rare occasion during those days. Mel Allen did the play-by-play and Lindsey Nelson did the color analysis. The former was an Alabama graduate and the latter a Tennessee graduate. At the end ofthe telecast, Allen said: "So, we have seen a nothing-to-nothing tie and Lindsey and I can still be friends."
Alabama 34, Tennessee 3 (October 21, 1961 - Birmingham)Alabama coach Paul "Bear" Bryant earned his first win over Tennessee with a resounding 34-3 victory at Legion Field. The win was Alabama's first over Tennessee since 1954. The 31-point win over the Vols also catapulted the Tide in the national rankings as UA finished the season with an 11-0 record and the first of six national championships in the Bryant era.

Equipment and the Academy of Scuba
Scuba diving is an equipment intensive sport. Breathing and exploring is not normal for us land-walking mammals. Scuba diving requires the training, familiarization, and use of all types of equipment. As a diver matures, the use of different equipment for different types of diving only adds to the complexity of equipment selection. Equipment selection should not be a cavalier or impulsive purchase. It is life support equipment. Proper training, fit, comfort, and practice makes this equipment feel like a second skin. Proper maintenance is essential to the proper performance of all Scuba gear. Buy right, buy once. This is the mantra of advanced divers!
Selecting Personal Scuba Equipment
Being that this is personal dive gear, fit is essential! You have to try it on. When buying fins, you have to try the boots on with the fins (if open heel). Masks are very individual and fit directly on the face and create a seal. I am not saying you can't buy through a catalog or Internet, but you have to try it on first. Treat personal gear as such. A nice mesh bag to keep it all in is a very nice add-on.
Buying versus Renting
Additionally, when renting gear, you do not know its history or maintenance cycles. How can you rely on gear to save your life when you don't know its history or if it has been maintained appropriately? Additionally, rental gear tends to be the lowest cost, most basic setups available in the market. How far would you want to take basic dive equipment? Lastly, the pure economist in me just hates putting money into other people's pocket. Most dive rental gear is paid for over and over again. If you buy right, that equity is yours to keep. Of course, the reward is far greater than economical. Divers who own their own equipment have a safer, longer, more enjoyable experience exploring the underwater kingdom.
The Pitfalls of Used Gear
Computers Helping Divers Stay Safe
Recreational, Advanced, and Technical Divers can benefit from dive computers. Dive computers require about as much training as dive tables. Don't make the same mistake many divers make by purchasing a computer and relying on trial by error as your training guide.
As you progress through your diving education, your experience, your local dive shop and your mentors will help guide you through equipment choices. Don't underestimate trying new gear configurations or be afraid to purchase more gear. Many of us, once we buy our first set, think we have finished. However, trying new gear and further using that new gear can be rewarding and exciting.

Experts from all over the country were in Tallahassee Friday to talk about the African American healthy marriage initiative.
The conference paved the way for people to talk about some troubling facts and figures, but more importantly, solutions for getting back what has been lost over the years.
Local pastor Calvin McFadden and his wife Jamina are giving tips on how to have a healthy marriage. Unfortunately, an even bigger problem is the lack of marriage in the African American community.
The goal of the conference was to educate Tallahasseans about these startling facts, but also give inspiration. Conference coordinators say there are several reasons for the decline in marriage but say a major reason has been the focus on climbing the socioeconomic ladder.
This conference was sponsored by several local and statewide agencies. Representatives say if you fix the home, you can fix the community.

Netanyahu accepts recommendations to issue arrest warrants against Jewish rioters, prosecute them in military courts and authorize soldiers to make arrests; rejects bid to deem Hilltop Youth terror organization
Attila Somfalvi
Published: 12.14.11, 20:43 / Israel News
Attila Somfalvi
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted the recommendations of the internal security minister and the justice minister for dealing with far-Right activists rioting
in the West Bank but rejected a recommendation to define the Hilltop Youth as a terror organization.
The ministers drew up the recommendations after holding meetings with teams from the Shin Bet, IDF, police and the State Prosecutor's Office. The approved recommendations include immediate executive arrest warrants for the rioters and an immediate increase of individuals expelled from the West Bank.

The rioters will also be prosecuted in military courts and IDF soldiers will be authorized to make arrests. In addition, the State will expand special investigating teams from the Shin Bet, police, State Prosecutor's Office and the IDF.
Earlier on Wednesday, violent clashes
between right-wing activists and police forces erupted in Jerusalem's Kiryat Moshe neighborhood. Police said that six 'price tag' suspects were arrested.

Monday, Oct 25/10 Good News
Tuesday, October 26, 2010
Hi again,
Another year almost shot. The time is going by so fast. I was to see my cardiologist today. The news is all good, and he doesn't want to see me for another year, unless I feel I have problems before that. My next appointment is Thursday with my cancer doctor, and I am predicting more good news. I have a mammogram coming up in December to check out a lump in my breast.
My doctor prescribed a new pill for me to control the pain in my back. So far it seems to be working, but I haven't done any sewing since starting it. That will be the big test. Seems to be worse when I am using my arms.
We all travelled to Lethbridge, Alberta for the Canadian Thanksgiving on Oct 11th at my daughter's new home. It was a blast as all but one family member was there.
Before I left my daughter's in Kamloops, we dried 3 large boxes of apples. My 8 year old grandson run them through the peeler and slicer. He is a wonderful little boy. He worked so hard just so I wouldn't have to do it. Just laying them out on the trays caused me a lot of back pain. I think it will be the last year for me to do them.
Reed and I put together and decorated a Gingerbread Halloween Haunted house. Every year we have done a Christmas Gingerbread House, but I'm staying home this Christmas, so we did Halloween instead. We didn't get to bake cookies this trip as there was just so much to do and so little time. I had to rush home because I had doctors appointments.
Kim had redecorated my grandson's room, so when I got there I helped finish up with a little trim painting, and then sewed new cushion covers and curtains to match the new color scheme. I have so much fabric on hand for quilt making, but I think my sewing days might well be over. I am thinking of donating it to the Hospital Auxiliary for the ladies to make up for their gift shop or the wards.
I have been stuck at 190 lbs for several weeks now. Those round numbers always seem to be a challenge to get past. I think if I get back to regular exercising it will make a big difference. I got off track travelling and being away from home. But, I have a special friend in Ontario who keeps me on the straight and narrow. We have started meeting every morning over Skype on the computer, and exercising together. She gets on her treadmill, while I pop in my walking tape.
Now it is after midnight again, so I better turn in. I am still de-cluttering and re-arranging the apartment. Kim is coming down with her husband on Nov 8th for a wedding, and are bringing a dinning room hutch for me along with another shelf/drop leaf table unit. In turn she is going to take home some of the scrapbooking storage cubes I have, along with some scrapbooking supplies. I am trying to simplify my life, but it is sure a lot of hard work. Seems that I have been doing this forever.
Thank you all for your support.
Love you, Bunny

I was recently in a pretty competitve 62m ride. The first hour I felt great. Had no trouble with the only big hill on the route. But around hour number two I got a bit tired. Had to fall off a wicked pace with some other riders. Hour three I was fine.
My drinks were potent enough but maybe I needed to down some gu to sustain my energy. Or maybe I need to just pedal harder and extend my training rides?
Any thoughts?

Beverly Hills News
BEVERLY HILLS—Los Angeles County Assessor John Noguez and Arizona tax consultant Ramin Salari were charged with a dozen more felonies on Tuesday, October 28 in the ongoing investigation into their massive public corruption scandal.
Noguez, 48, and Salari, 50, were each arraigned with six new counts of embezzlement and grand theft during their court appearance on Tuesday. According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, Noguez and Salari pleaded not guilty to all 12 counts. Salari also plead not guilty to three tax evasion felonies filed against him later that day in a separate case by prosecutors of the Public Integrity Division.
The case began in October 2012, when County Assessor John Noguez, his chief appraiser Mark McNeil and
Steve Cooley, the District Attorney at the time, said this was the most significant case of public corruption he had seen in his four decades in the district attorney's office and that Noguez's actions were motivated by greed. The defendants, however, have maintained their innocence and have pleaded not guilty to all 85 felony counts.
Jane Robison, spokeswoman of the District Attorney's Office, told the Canyon News the ongoing investigation has added counts multiple times as new evidence arises, but would not comment if owners of these properties would be charged too in the future. The most recent charges extend the list of properties to include three commercial buildings located on South Broadway near
The new allegations also reveal the scheme between Noguez and Salari may date as far back as March 1996 when Noguez was an appraiser specialist of major properties for the L.A. County Assessor's Office. The District Attorney's Office now estimates the corruption scheme cost the county over $10 million in revenue.
Court documents show County Assessor Noguez has a total of 36 felony counts filed against him, including 19 counts of misappropriation of public funds, five counts of perjury by declaration, five counts of accepting a bribe, two counts of conspiracy, three counts of embezzlements and three counts of grand theft. Robison stated McNeil has 23 felony counts and Salari with almost 70 counts. The three are expected to return to court on January 30, 2014 to schedule their preliminary hearing.
On June 1, 2012, Noguez took a voluntary leave of absence from his office position amidst the district attorney's investigations. Santos H. Kreimann was appointed to fill the spot, stating in a press release by the Assessor's Office on June 19, 2012, "I am eager to dedicate my full attention to reviewing and improving policies and procedures necessary to restore the public's confidence in the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office. My goal is to re-establish the department as the premier property assessment agency in the nation."
Noguez did not resign as the official elected
If convicted, Noguez could face over 50 years in prison and Salari could face over 75 years.

Posted Friday, December 10 at 10:30 a.m. The UIC men's basketball team will begin a stretch of three-consecutive games against in-state non-conference foes Saturday, when the Flames travel to Normal, Ill., to take on Illinois State.
Posted Friday, December 10 at 10:25 a.m. "NCAA On Campus," a monthly show featuring NCAA student-athletes and competitions, was on the UIC campus Thursday, documenting a story surrounding the men's basketball team. Do you think we're going to reveal what the story was? Come now, not a chance! We'll keep you posted on when the piece airs -- as of now, it is slated to debut on the NCAA website (NCAA.org) the week of December 20.
Posted Wednesday, December 8 at 3:23 p.m. UIC was back at practice Tuesday, in preparation for its third road game of the season, Saturday night (7:05 p.m.) at Illinois State. Below are some pre-game notables. In the meantime, you can track the Redbirds tonight, when ISU takes on defending Mid-American Conference champion Ohio. CLICK HERE for Gametracker.
BREAKING DOWN THE AKRON GAMEThere were a combined five ties and lead changes in the game, with UIC holding its largest lead of 13 (40-27) with 17:02 remaining in the game ... The Flames out-rebounded the Zips 41-34, and scored 24 points in the paint ... For the second-consecutive game, the Flames converted just one three-pointer, and attempted only seven threes ... UIC held the Zips to a season-low 37.9 percent shooting effort ... The Flames committed 17 turnovers, and forced Akron into 14 mishaps ... UIC out-scored Akron 32-20 in the first half, but was out-scored in the second stanza, 34-20 ... Senior forward Robo Kreps (14 points) led the Flames in scoring for the fifth time this season, and Paul Carter's nine rebounds paced UIC for the fifth time ... Coming off the bench for the first time this season, junior center Darrin Williams scored a season-high 12 points on a 5-of-6 effort from the field. QUOTING COACH MOORE: "Our guys came out with a sense of urgency, trying to get a little bit of redemption from Thursday's game (68-66 overtime loss against Valparaiso). We built a double-digit halftime lead again, and in the locker room, we talked about not letting our lead or intensity slip. In the second half, we lost some opportunities offensively, and we didn't execute the way we did in the first half. We allowed Akron to disrupt us, and get us out of our flow." THE SERIESThe Flames and Redbirds will be playing on the hardwood for the fifth-consecutive season. Illinois State holds a 13-7 all-time series lead, and has won four-straight in the series. UIC's last win over ISU was at Redbird Arena on Nov. 30, 2004. In last season's meeting at the UIC Pavilion (11/23/09), the Flames rallied from an eight-point deficit with 2:30 remaining, and had a chance to tie the game, but Robo Kreps' final shot came up short as the Redbirds came away with a 69-65 win.Zavion Neely led the Flames with 17 points, followed by 15 points apiece from Jeremy Buttell and Kreps. The Redbirds were led by Osiris Eldridge's 19 points -- he was joined in double figures by Dinma Odiakosa (15) and Alex Rubin (15). Illinois State held a six-point (34-28) halftime lead, and scored 21 points off UIC's 14 turnovers. CLIMBING THE CHARTSSenior guard Robo Kreps passed both Nate Chambers (1984-88) and Armond Williams (2001-05) on UIC's all-time scoring list last week. Kreps enters Saturday's game at Illinois State (slated to be his 70th career start) with 1,248 career points; he is just 41 points away from tying John Ellis (1981-84) for 11th on the all-time list, and is only 52 tallies away from becoming the 11th player in UIC history to score 1,300 or more career points.CRASHING THE BOARDSUIC has out-rebounded five-of-its nine opponents this season, and in those contests, has done so in convincing fashion, by an average of 14.2 boards per game. The Flames, who have out-rebounded three-straight foes, are 3-2 when recording a rebounding advantage over its opponent this season.CARTER'S CAROMSSenior forward Paul Carter has been the catalyst for the Flames' success on the boards this season. The Horizon League's third-leading rebounder (8.0 rpg), Carter has two double-digit rebounding outputs, and corralled nine rebounds on three other occasions. Carter's 5.6 defensive rebounds per game currently rank second in the Horizon League. SPREADING THE WEALTHAs mentioned, UIC enters Saturday's game against the Redbirds ranked third in the Horizon League in assists per game (14.2). While senior guard Robo Kreps has dished out a team-high 33 assists, he has also had a little help from his friends. Paul Carter (23), Zavion Neely (20) and Brad Birton (20) have each dished out 20 or more helpers through the first nine games of the season.`Z' BREAKING FREEJunior guard Zavion Neely, who has been called upon to be a lock-down perimeter defender early on this season, has shown flashes of his offensive ability that produced 12.2 points per game last season, one of the top-20 marks in the Horizon League. Over the last four games, Neely has been the Flames' top scorer, averaging 12.2 points per game -- that stretch includes three double-digit scoring outputs, including a season-high 22 points on a career-best three three-pointers against Toledo (11/28/10).POINTS IN THE PAINTUIC has scored 238 points in the paint this season, nearly 42 percent of its entire offensive output (538 total points). In the past two games against Valparaiso (12/2/10) and Akron (12/4/10), the Flames combined to score 64 points in the paint, accounting for almost 55 percent of the 118 total points UIC scored in those contests.PLAYING THE PERCENTAGESIn each of the last five games, UIC's defensive field goal percentage has improved, decreasing from a 50 percent mark following the College of Charleston game (11/20/10), to a 45.8 percent mark following last Saturday's game against Akron. In the past two games, both two-point losses, the Flames held their opponents (Valpo and Akron) to a combined 40.4 percent field goal mark, including a 19 percent clip from three-point range.
Posted Wednesday, December 8 at 3:16 p.m. In the latest edition of "UIC Alumni," the official magazine for alumns of the University of Illinois Chicago, eight full-color pages are dedicated to the Flames basketball programs. Included is a Q&A with head coach Howard Moore, a feature story on the women's basketball team and much more ... pick up one up, or wait for the magazine to arrive in the mail!
Posted Wednesday, December 8 at 2:40 p.m. Shannon Ryan from the Chicago Tribune caught up with head coach Howard Moore over the weekend, and provided this feature. Said Moore: "They're (the players) playing winning basketball for us. The next step is to play winning basketball all the time."
Posted Monday, December 6 at 9:48 a.m. The UIC men's basketball team will play its third television game of the season Saturday, when the Flames travel to Normal, Ill., to take on Illinois State. The non-conference game will be carried live on Comcast SportsNet Chicago beginning at 7:05 p.m. Stay tuned to UICFlames.com and "Flame Throwers" this week for all of your pre-game coverage.
Anthony Kelley FEATURED IN BEACON NEWS/SUN-TIMES
Posted Monday, December 6 at 9:44 a.m. Christine Bolin of the Aurora Beacon News caught up with sophomore guard Anthony Kelley after last Thursday's game against Valparaiso, and filed this story. Bolin was working the local angle, also interviewing Valpo's Jay Harris, who hails from Oswego.
Posted Saturday, December 4 at 10:43 p.m. UIC head men's basketball coach Howard Moore is the 2010 recipient of the Ricky Byrdsong Award, the Illinois Fatherhood Initiative (IFI) announced earlier this week. Moore accepted the award at the Union League Club of Chicago on Thursday afternoon.Created in 2000 and named after former Northwestern head coach Ricky Byrdsong, the award annually recognizes men who are good fathers, have reached out and made a difference in the lives of youth and have demonstrated a spiritual dimension to their lives.

Unfortunately for visitors to Paris, it's still a case of water, water everywhere. Personally, I must admit I don't mind the endless rain. It clears the air, which can get terribly smoggy in summer. It creates a soothing background of white noise as you work, so that you don't get distracted by the random sounds that echo through a typical Parisian building – neighbours drilling, babies wailing, someone who seems to think that everyone in the courtyard needs to listen to opera. It also saves me the bother of watering plants. One thing the geraniums definitely don't need right now is me slopping about with a watering can (or watering saucepan to be more accurate – I've never seen the sense in buying gardening equipment for a few window boxes.)
On the few occasions I've ventured out to Paris Plages, the urban beach at the Bassin de la Villette, it's been a bit of a washout. The poor kids who signed up for the cross-canal zip wire have been grounded. The outdoor dance floor is more suited to synchronized swimming. The sand pits look as though the tide came in. More welcomely, the heavy downpours have sluiced out the little passageways that lead into the square in front of the Rotonde (roundhouse) at Stalingrad.
These little alleyways are usually the last vestiges of the area's shady past. Late at night – I don't know when because I've never seen it happen – people choose to pee there, condemning those like me with sensitive nostrils to dash through the alleys while holding their breath to ward off the pungent odours that linger there permanently.
The area is now very trendy and lively, as I've often said in these blogs, but the police still pay regular visits to make sure that no one wants a return to the past. It now seems impossible to believe, but just a couple of years ago, in the arcades opposite the ultra-hip 25° Est café, there was a little drug addicts' village. Dealers would laze about there day and night, selling who knows what to users who would amble openly in. But with the buildings around the square being renovated and rented out, pressure was presumably put on the police to do something, and the problem has now been displaced one arrondissement to the west, to the 18th. Occasionally you still see dubious goings-on at Stalingrad, but the main drugs consumed in the square now are beer, wine, tobacco and hormones.
It wasn't only a pong-free trip through one of the alleys that reminded me of all this. I, like most Parisians, have been following the case of the drug squad, based near the Seine, that managed to lose 52 kilos of cocaine (yes 52 kilos, enough to keep a Paris Fashion Show model going for more than a week), with a street value of two million euros. A 34-year-old policeman has now been arrested – he was allegedly seen on CCTV going into the evidence room with an empty bag and coming out with a full one.
There have also been stories in the press recently that drug dealers have been getting more active in the 'beaux quartiers' – the posh areas of Paris. Those near the Seine, for example, and the drug squad HQ. It looks as though that probably wasn't a coincidence. Residents who complained about the influx of dealers will probably be seeing a lot more of the police over the coming days. Those 52 kilos are still missing, so the stolen evidence is almost certainly out there somewhere in the streets. And if the drug squad do manage to re-possess their lost evidence, let's hope they hold on to it next time.
Stephen Clarke's latest book is Dirty Bertie: an English King Made in France. It is the story of King Edward's adventures in Belle Epoque Paris, where he learned the social skills that turned him into one of Britain's best royal diplomats. If he'd been around in 1914, he could almost certainly have stopped, or at least limited the scope of, the European war.

GREENVILLE, N.C. - After four introductory sessions to open preseason camp where the temperature reached in the upper 90's, East Carolina finally put on full gear for the first time in the 2009 campaign with a two-and-a-half hour practice inside the Cliff Moore Practice Complex Tuesday afternoon.
The Pirates worked through the hot conditions before capping the day with a lively 25-minute 11-on-11 enhanced team session which featured rotating offensive and defensive units working on timing and repetition elements of its respective schemes.
"It was the first day in pads and it was good and emotional," said fifth-year head coach Skip Holtz. "Today was another hot practice and when you go through some of the drill work, individual work and a little bit of the one-on-one sessions it tends to drag a bit because the heat zaps the energy out of you physically and mentally. But when we went to team and they started going against each other, especially with full pads on, things really started to heat up.
"There are a bunch of guys getting some good work in," he added. "I'm excited where we are right now and can't wait to get to Saturday where we can get to that first scrimmage and really start to formulate the depth chart and really see who we are going to work with. There are some great competitions going on for those second spots as we talked about in the press conference last week at linebacker, wide receiver and quarterback."
The Pirates will work in shorts and helmets during the scheduled two-hour morning session before returning to full gear in the evening practice to complete another phase of preseason camp. In addition to Wednesday's double action, ECU also plans to turn in a pair of workouts on Monday, August 17.
NOTES: After completing their first two-a-day practice on Wednesday, the Pirates will begin preparing for the preseason camp's first intra-squad scrimmage scheduled for Saturday afternoon at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium ... The contest, closed to the public, will be followed by the first off day of the preseason Sunday … Senior LB Nick Johnson was named third-team preseason All-America by NBCSports.com on Tuesday … Three players missed a part or the entire workout Tuesday because of injuries or rehabilitation work - WR Michael Bowman (elbow), DL Josh Smith (ankle), LB Kyle Tudor (ankle) … Wednesday's Practice Times: 8:35 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. & 8:00 p.m. - 10:30 p.m.; Season Opener: Sept. 5 vs. Appalachian State in Greenville (12 noon).
