Schlesinger discusses Brewers as camp lifts off
Milwaukee's COO is confident club will bounce back from tough '13 season
From his office overlooking the field at Miller Park, Brewers chief operating officer Rick Schlesinger took part in a wide-ranging question-and-answer session with MLB.com about the team's prospects for 2014, its bottom line and some trends in Major League Baseball that could dictate where the franchise goes from here.
MLB.com: As one of the guys in charge of the bottom line, what was your reaction when the team committed $50 million to Matt Garza?
Rick Schlesinger: First and foremost, what I understand is that whether you're signing a pitcher or a hitter, anytime you're signing [a player] for that kind of money, there's risk. Of course there's risk of health; there's risk of performance. There are unknowns. You're dealing with human beings, especially with pitchers. The nature of throwing a fastball at 95 mph is going to do some violence to your arm, so there's always a risk.
That said, I think there is a commitment from ownership that we are a team that can be competitive -- very competitive. This is not a season where we are going to be an also-ran. If you look at our team, Mark [Attanasio, the Brewers' principal owner] and Doug [Melvin, general manager] and the baseball side are committed to being very good. I thought it was a great statement. It's a vote of confidence in our other 24 players by adding a guy like Matt Garza, who comes with great talent and certainly some risk, and that's true of everybody. So I was very excited and I was fully supportive, recognizing that in this business and with our franchise, we're going to have to take some risks. You don't ever achieve greatness without taking risks.
MLB.com: We get into trouble when we start talking about payroll, because there are so many different ways to measure it. But in general, is the payroll beyond what you expected going into this offseason, and, generally, where is [that number] going to be?
Schlesinger: You're absolutely right that there are so many different ways to measure payroll, and it's not that people are playing games. It's, how do you look at deferred salaries? What about incentives? What about other factors in how you look at contracts? I can tell you this: Whatever our payroll finally is, it's going to be an all-time Brewers record as of the start of the season. We are invested. With Matt Garza and raises to our existing players ... we will have the highest payroll in Brewers history.
The way I look at it, you look at the growth of the industry, in general, and how we're doing in revenues, locally, and it makes sense. Mark has always said, "Listen, I'm going to take every cent I can and invest it back into the stadium and invest it back in the players."
The fans over the years have supported us, the national-television dollars are increasing, the health of the game, from a revenue perspective, has never been greater, so it's only natural and fitting that we use those moneys to invest in our product.
I think fans have a correct instinct that, yes, payroll should be going up. With the way our team is constituted, we should have a payroll that stretches us. I don't want to have a payroll where it's very comfortable that, no matter what happens, we're going to have a positive income. I want us to be challenged as a business. ... And we go for it and take risks and stretch ourselves from a financial perspective in a rational way. That's what our fans want. I want to be in that position, to stretch ourselves financially so we have a chance to win a World Series."

MLB.com: So if it's an all-time record, we're taking about a payroll north of $100 million?
Schlesinger: Yes. I think no matter how you look at it, it's going to be north of $100 million. No matter how you measure it, and there are a lot of ways to measure it. I can tell you that it's going to be north of $100 million.
MLB.com: How is the recent boom in local television contracts changing the game?
Schlesinger: We're still waiting to see, but there's no question about it, that that the explosion in local cable television deals is having some major implications. It obviously is causing teams to be able to spend more for players, and in your local market, you want that. The average fan wants the team in their local market to have the best chance of winning. ...
My concern at the Brewers, obviously, is not to have a situation where [between] the haves and have nots, there's such a dichotomy that there is a lack of competitive balance. We've been fortunate in baseball that we've done some things to improve competitive balance. If you look at teams in the last seven or eight years, the Oaklands, the Tampa Bays, they have small payrolls and they made the postseason. The Brewers have made the postseason twice, and we are certainly aren't a top revenue team. My concern is, let's not lose the momentum created by those young, inexpensively produced teams making the postseason, [and create an environment] where you only have five or six or eight teams that realistically have a chance. That's going to be a problem.
If it becomes a problem, I have a lot of confidence that the industry is going to address it, but what you're talking about is a very real scenario. It's happening. We have to figure out, as an industry, how to deal with it. We don't want to lose the incentive for teams in big markets to generate large dollars. They should. They're in big markets, their assets are very expensive, and they should draw big television dollars. How do we split that up so there is more equitable distribution? You're going to get a lot of different opinions, but I have a lot of confidence that the industry is going to figure it out, because competitive balance makes every franchise more valuable.
MLB.com: You have been firm in not revealing details of the Brewers' television deal, but it could help fans understand what the team is up against. Can you say anything about how much longer this current contract lasts, and what sort of number you're looking at for the next deal?
Schlesinger: The reason I can't be too specific is we have a confidentiality agreement with our partner, FOX Sports Wisconsin, and as a lawyer, I take confidentiality agreements very seriously. That's why you're not going to see the Brewers out there talking about specifics of our deal. ...
Certainly, [the Brewers' contract] is one of the smallest in baseball, but I'll tell you this: We have ticket revenue that's higher than a lot of other teams, simply because we are able to draw so well. At the same time we have a small television deal, we've drawn 3 million fans three times in the last six years. Very few franchises can say that, so I don't look at our television deal and say, 'Woe is me.' I look at the totality of our collective revenues, and from ticket revenues, sponsorships, suites and television and radio and all the other ancillary revenues, we can be competitive. It's not as easy for us. We can't just throw away $100 million or $150 million on a pitcher -- we're never going to do that -- but we can be competitive, aggressive, thoughtful, strategic. We're going to have to make fewer mistakes than other teams, but again, Tampa Bay has figured it out, Oakland has figured it out. There are ample opportunities for small-market or mid-market teams to be successful, and that's our goal. We don't look at what we don't have; we look at the opportunities we do have.
|"I think with the way we are situated with the talent on our field, we should be competitive all the way through, and that means playing very meaningful games in September."
|-- Brewers COO Rick Schlesinger, on expectations for 2014
MLB.com: With pitchers and catchers arriving in Arizona this week, you're in a series of one-year options with the city of Phoenix at Maryvale Baseball Park. Where do you see the future of Brewers Spring Training? Is there a possibility of moving into a new facility as other teams have done?
Schlesinger: We've looked into it. Bob Quinn, our chief financial officer, has been taking the lead, and we've had a lot of discussions with a lot of different partners and a lot of different government entities. I don't want to get into specifics, because those conversations and discussions are really meant to be confidential. Candidly, it's in the Brewers' best interest to keep things confidential.
But, as you said, we are in a series of one-year options. That gives us to flexibility to stay in Maryvale if we so choose, and also gives us the flexibility to explore. So we are having exploratory discussions. There are things that are very positive about Maryvale and the site, there are things that obviously that we look elsewhere. The trend in baseball is new Spring Training facilities, so we're looking into that. Who knows what the future is going to be, but the focus is having the best environment for our players, and also having a great environment to watch the games. We're confident, whether it's Maryvale or another site, that we are going to be able to reach that point.
MLB.com: There is this sense that because Mark Attanasio is from Los Angeles, the Brewers will stay in Arizona. Is that accurate?
Schlesinger: You know what, let me put it this way: We're looking at Arizona. That's where we've been for our entire history. But I will tell you that Mark has said, 'Listen, whether I have to fly an hour and a half to Phoenix or longer to Florida, the reality is, what is the best situation for us?' He is very sensitive to finding the best environment for players.
A lot of players will tell you that the Phoenix location is good because there is less distance between the teams and less travel and less time on buses than Florida. People will also tell you that the weather in Phoenix in spring is more conducive. Less rain, more likely for games to be played. But that doesn't mean there aren't opportunities elsewhere. I think, candidly, there are a lot of good things about Phoenix. The Cactus League is very vibrant. But if an opportunity presented itself in Florida that made sense for us, Mark is not going to say, 'Well, because it's a longer flight for me, personally, I'm not going to do that.' He does not think that way.
MLB.com: What about here at Miller Park? What is the next big infrastructure project?
Schlesinger: That's a good question, because one of the things we do internally is every year we do our research and diligence and come up with 10-15 possible upgrades to Miller Park. It could be anything from the scoreboard to the Wall of Honor recognizing the Brewers of the past, to new sponsor areas.
What we're running into, and I think it's a good problem to have, is we're running out of space. I think we've done a nice job using ownership funds to enhance the ballpark, but there is only so much we can do. We don't want to take away from the ultimate character of Miller Park. The concourses are wide and open, and I don't want to clutter the ballpark or put in things that are inconsistent with the look and feel of Miller Park. So I've got a lot of ideas for 2015-16, but a lot depends on what kind of space we have. As we start to get the interior of the ballpark full, maybe [the club will explore] things on the plaza, maybe things in the parking lots. There are always technology upgrades we're looking at. We just put a new scoreboard in, but soon enough, we'll have a conversation about the next generation of scoreboards. The good thing is there's no shortage of projects. Mark and the ownership group have been great about giving us the funds to do it.
MLB.com: Do you see the area around Miller Park developing in terms of restaurants and bars in the Canal Street area and down in the Menomonee Valley?
Schlesinger: It hasn't been a primary focus for us because we've been focusing on the ballpark experience when fans get here. I think a lot of folks have a lot of different views. Some feel that building sort of a second downtown would create traffic and other issues. Other people think, yeah, Miller Park ... could really create a nice environment [for development]. I'm not saying no, and we're certainly paying attention to what's going on in St. Louis with Ballpark Village.
MLB.com: From your perspective, has Ryan Braun done what he needs to do?
Schlesinger: That's an easy answer, because to me it's not what Rick Schlesinger thinks or Mark Attanasio thinks or Doug Melvin thinks. It's what our fan base here in Wisconsin thinks. I don't worry so much about what the national press is saying about Ryan, or what fans in Philadelphia or Los Angeles are saying about Ryan. I care what our fans in Wisconsin say, and they are going to be making the ultimate judgment. Has he made steps? Absolutely. Does he need to continue to make steps? Absolutely. Does he need to continue to perform on the field? Absolutely. It's not just one thing, it's a totality of things that Ryan needs to do.
I expect a big year from him on the field. I expect him to continue to do things in the community. I do think he's contrite. I think he's made that clear, and I think the reality is we'll see how fans respond. We saw at Brewers On Deck, the fans obviously were very excited except for one person who made a little bit of a heckle -- and I respect that -- Ryan was well received. It's not just 2014; this is going to take time, and we probably won't know until Ryan is long retired whether he has done everything he needed to do to fully rehabilitate himself.
MLB.com: You're obviously biased because you're sitting in an office overlooking the field at Miller Park, but what do you think are the realistic expectations for this team in 2014?
Schlesinger: I think with the way we are situated with the talent on our field, we should be competitive all the way through, and that means playing very meaningful games in September. I'm not going to sit here and say that we're going to make the playoffs. I don't want to be one of those guys who promises and then we fall a game short. But our team is constituted to be competitive all the way through, and when you get into September and you're in the race, factors come in such as luck, injury, intangibles.
I just want us to be playing a meaningful game on the last day of the year. We had that in 2011, obviously, when we won the division. In 2012, we were a game out with a week to go. In 2013, we didn't have that situation, and it was a tough year. I do not think we're going to have another 2013. I think we are more talented than what we showed, and I think we are going to have more health, simply because I don't know how it could be much worse.

The Year of the Purse
We spent the last week in Oklahoma with Micah, Becky, William, Xavier, my parents and my brother (briefly). If 2011 was the Year of the Preemie Baby and Gallbladder Attack and 2012 was the Year of the Flu, then 2013 was the Year of the Purse. With Christmas money burning a hole in our pockets, my mom, Becky, and I spent our days searching for the perfect purse and wallet. The search included 2 different Dillards (3 trips), Macy's, and T.J. Maxx (3 trips). We all managed to find the perfect purse/wallet.
Leather smells so good.
We also had a fantastic time eating (of course), drinking coffee (of course), listening to the boys play (loudly, of course), and being together. We also managed to fit in alot of shopping (Brian and Grandpa ended up on kid duty. Alot.), a trip to see the Rhema Christmas lights, a beautiful Christmas Eve service (with Michael Boggs leading worship), a trip to see Frozen (which was seriously fantastic - Camden even had to shush Becky because she was laughing too much).
We arrived home Saturday night, had a VERY full Sunday, and we are now home for a couple of days before Brian starts back to school Thursday. The kids are currently engaged in World War 3 (and not in a good way) while I try to take care of the most enormous pile of laundry ever, upload Christmas photos (I can't even think about tackling this right now). Brian is spending some time hunting, and I am grateful he gets the opportunity.
Here are the few pictures (mostly from Becky's phone). All big girl camera pics are going to have to wait, because my laundry and unpacking just can't.
It was a total winter wonderland on our way to Oklahoma. This is not a b/w picture, just lots of ice coating everything.
I briefly lost my mind and let the kids share a roadtrip coffee.
Headed in to the Christmas Eve service.
Candlelight at the service.
In their p.j.'s (very hyped up, I might add) before bedtime Christmas Eve.
Our families both chose to read scripture by the light of the Christmas tree and sing carols every night of December. This was the final night. And while Camden and Rory are pretty enthusiastic singers, it is nothing compared to William and Xavier who are VERY enthusiastic singers. A seriously fantastic way to make sure we are concentrating on Christ's birth, by the way. We have plans to continue this every year.
The kid table. Not that I don't love them, but these four are loud (to put it mildly) so a kid table was fan.tab.u.lous.
Lights on Christmas Night. Micah had his own Christmas miracle and was able to be off on Christmas Day, something that doesn't happen often for a doctor during his residency.
If you couldn't find these 4 playing with Legos or at the Wii, then they were all snuggled up reading.
Shopping! (Sidenote: someone remind me never to style my hair this way again)
Rory got Grandma's old purse, and she is kind of into carrying it.
Rory taking advantage of one of the few moments the boys weren't completely engaged with Camden. While she talked their ear off, they dutifully said, "yes" and read. I always feel a little sorry for Rory - she's always SO excited to be with the boys, but they quickly drop her in favor of Camden. Which is understandable, of course, but I do feel bad for her.
Frozen. We took up a whole row. And because it was sold out (2 days in a row), we were on the second row.
Playing games on our last night.
It was a typical Lewis/Derby Christmas. And by "typical" I mean wonderful.

The BP Oil Spill: Time to Get Unreasonable
For decades, Diane Wilson—a fourth-generation shrimper from Seadrift, Texas, a town roughly in the center of Texas' Gulf coast—has been fighting to clean up the messes of the oil and petrochemical industries. First it was the chemicals pumped into a local bay by a plastics factory, then the Dow Chemical Company's refusal to compensate the victims of the Bhopal disaster, then the Bush Administration's decision to invade Iraq in what she believes was a war for oil.
Many protests and hunger strikes later, that plastics factory signed a zero discharge agreement. The anti-war group that Wilson helped found, Code Pink, has become a prominent national voice for peace. So it's no wonder that Wilson is someone who believes in the power of protest—or that, when millions of gallons of oil started gushing into the waters she'd trolled since childhood, her anger turned into action.
That action has made national headlines and gotten Wilson dragged out of more than one Congressional hearing. On August 20, she'll find out if it will land her in jail for two years. But for Wilson, who's fond of saying that she's "nobody particular," there's nothing exceptional or complicated about what she's doing. "There comes a time," she wrote, "when the home needs protecting and the line needs drawing and anybody that dares cross it acts at their own peril."
Brooke Jarvis: People around the world have been horrified by this catastrophe. What has it been like for you and your neighbors in Seadrift?
Diane Wilson: It was almost like seeing your own death. You cannot imagine it, but it appears to be happening. I think many people thought they really might see the end of the whole Gulf, just filling up like a river of oil, just wiping out everything. People are very, very upset about it. They don't know what to do, because what is there to do? They can't leave. Down here you are the 4th, 5th generation fishing or shrimping the same waters. You have a sense of place, and your identity is the place. I've been down here through I can't tell you how many hurricanes, and people don't leave even when they know a storm's coming.
Brooke: The big news this week is the cap on the BP oil pipe. When the oil spill is finally stopped, are you worried that it will be forgotten—that there will be a feeling that the problem is solved and we can return to business as usual?
Diane: I worry a lot about that. I've been involved in environmental struggles on the Gulf Coast for 20 years, and I've seen how quickly we can forget. I was involved in the Bhopal struggle, which is basically about the problem of forgetting—after 25 years and 20,000 deaths, it's not solved but it's not in the news, either. And in Alaska, it's been 20 years since the Exxon Valdez, and they only ever recovered 8 percent of the oil.
I know how fickle media is. I've been trying to get stories out about oil for 20 years. I've talked with agencies, I've talked with politicians, and wouldn't get any response. I started to feel like maybe there was something the matter with me, maybe what I was horrified about wasn't so awful, so at times I really questioned myself. Then when we had this awful spill, suddenly almost those very same agencies and people were acting like it horrified them and they were immediately going to take action.
I know how the spotlight will change how people react, and I know how easily it goes away. We get bored very easily. I'm afraid that with even the littlest excuse, we will want to move on—people feel relieved to move away from this unpleasantness and from thinking about the big changes we need in this country. A lot of people would rather it just go away.
Brooke: What actions have you taken since the spill began, to keep the spotlight on?
Diane: People have a shield that protects them from bad news. It just kind of slides off, so you have to be very creative to break through. So one of our actions was inspired by women in Nigeria, who protested pollution from oil companies by taking off their clothes. I was amazed how much they accomplished nonviolently by pushing the comfort zone. So we went to BP's control center in Houston, nude, and demanded "the naked truth" about oil. A lot of people said, "Oh no, you can't do something like that in Houston. It's the Bible Belt; the media will not come." But they did, and the protest got a lot of press. We also had people come dressed as fishermen, as mermaids, as BP workers. A fisherman in Sargent, Texas brought probably 100 pounds of dead fish and a pile of shrimp nets. We poured fake oil over everybody.
Later I decided to go to Washington, D.C., because that's where the hearings were happening. I got some Karo syrup, the syrup they make pecan pies with in Texas, and security let me in with this half a gallon of goo labeled "oil" on the side. I waited for Sen. Lisa Murkowski, from Alaska, to start talking. She should know the cost of an oil spill, from the Exxon Valdez; she should know the value of fishermen and wilderness. Yet she was the senator who was blocking the vote to lift the liability cap for BP. So I just stood up and started yelling. I said that I was from the Gulf and we are sick and tired of being dumped on. I poured oil all over myself. At one point they were going to charge me for assault for getting syrup on the guard. They said it was the messiest protest they had ever had.
Then I heard that [BP CEO] Tony Hayward was going to testify. By this time I had Capitol cops following me everywhere, asking to see what was in my bag. I got to the Capitol at 10 o'clock the night before, and waited all night. They only let five people in—they were very, very nervous about anything happening. They wouldn't let in any signs or anything that looked like it might be used in a demonstration, but they didn't find the tube of paint I had in my pocket. When no one was looking I smeared it on my hands and face, and then I started yelling at Tony—I kept calling him Tony—that he ought to go to jail.
So I was arrested in one week on two different charges of unlawful conduct and resisting arrest. I've had to go to court twice already. At this point I'm probably looking at about 2 years.
Brooke: If you end up going to jail, will it be worth it?
Diane: Oh, yes. I've been to jail before. I did an action regarding Bhopal: I scaled a chemical tower and breached security and trespassed—I got 180 days in jail.
With these BP actions I had no idea what I would accomplish, but I felt I had to do something. I felt so much anger and rage about what was going on, especially because they were lying about it. Somehow Tony Hayward represented everything that I felt was being killed out there on the bay. Everybody calls this an accident, but it was inevitable—you take that kind of risk, and it will eventually come down to this.
Brooke: Realistically, what can we change by getting mad?
Diane: We can't just be mad about this one spill. It's part of a bigger problem, so we have to demand that there be bigger changes. That push is going to have to come from the people, from the grassroots.
Because I've been doing this for so long, I know that it sometimes takes very drastic and awful situations to change things. These times are critical windows when we can get things done—the only time when agencies and politicians and people are alarmed enough that we can move things.
Take offshore drilling. If all we have is a temporary ban, companies will be just waiting to start again when the six months are up. If that happens, what on Earth will we have learned from this monstrous problem?
We also have to make a decision about the type of energy we are using. It's not whether we are going to move away from oil, because we eventually will, but whether we'll do it when we can make a smooth transition or when we're forced to, which will be chaos. We don't have the luxury of time.
And we have to do something about the power of corporations. They make their money using the resources of the whole planet, but they don't get punished when they put it at risk. I think that people need to go to jail for this. We have to send a very clear message that you cannot take these kinds of risks without consequences.
We also have to change how we regulate corporations. Right now lots of them only self-report, and agencies don't have budgets to check their reports or for enforcement.
Brooke: You've also been pushing to cap BP's liability. Why is that so important?
Diane: It's flat out crazy, when you are making $90 million dollars a day, to say that $75 million is the most you should be made to pay in liability. Lisa Murkowski said we need that low limit because otherwise smaller, mom-and-pop oil companies couldn't drill in the Gulf. What mom-and-pop oil companies? She should be worried about mom-and-pop shrimpers.
If you are not forced to pay big time for your mistakes then you don't value them. It gives the idea that you can take all kinds of chances and all kinds of shortcuts. I guarantee you that this planet cannot afford it. This is a finite planet and we are acting like its infinite.
Brooke: What would you say to people who are upset about the spill but don't know what to do about it?
Diane: We are going to have to learn to not be so well behaved. We are going to have to move from our hearts. I have always believed that at some time in our lives, we will come across some information that just hits us, and what we do with that bit of information will determine the rest of our lives.
There are no excuses. If you look at the social changes that have been made in this country and all around the world, it is the people who seemed least able to make changes who did. We just forget that we have that kind of potential.

A Veterans Affairs Southeast Network employee who works at the Tuskegee VA medical center and was charged with sexual abuse of a veteran patient in February is still receiving a paycheck.
Andre Hall, 40, of Montgomery, was charged with first-degree sexual abuse after being accused of fondling a female patient's breast against her will in December 2013, according to the Feb. 18 complaint filed in Macon County District Court.
E. Paul Jones, the district attorney in Macon, Chambers, Randolph and Tallapoosa counties, said the preliminary hearing was held Aug. 21 after being delayed by Hall's attorney twice.
Hall, who pleaded not guilty, will only be tried if he's first indicted by a grand jury. Jones said the next Macon County grand jury doesn't meet again until January or February.
A Central Alabama Veterans Healthcare Employee who dealt with the case but didn't want to be named for fear of retribution said that the case was turned over to the VA Southeast Network, and Hall was put on paid administrative leave. He's still listed as an employee in the CAVHCS directory.
The employee said Hall worked in prosthetics at the Tuskegee medical center campus.
Fernando Morgan, a Montgomery attorney representing Hall, did not return phone calls Monday.

Fear of scarcity of vegan males
Hi. In my 40's and currently unhappy with my current 4.5 year relationship (lost all attraction and romantic interest sadly). Here is the thing...even though in the past I've never had trouble getting a vegan male I like (last three relationships were with vegan males), I am nervous now. I am nervous now that I am 46 and if my chances are too slim.
I don't want to be run on fear but the facts are the facts. There are way more vegan females than males. And as you get older there are less single men available in general. Others have told me that for me, I need to be with a vegan male, because I've been veg for 30 years! I am not dogmatic about it it's just so core to who I am. I cannot be with someone who doesn't understand animal suffering.
I know this is no reason to stay in a relationship with someone I am not in love with anymore. But it's a fear I have.
Also, does anyone else notice the chronically single folks in the vegan community? I do. In my age group there are a lot of them...always always single. *shivers* Nothing wrong with them as people and friends but it makes you wonder...why so many chronically single vegan women and men?
It sounds like you want to change something. Either restore the love/romance with your current relationship or be single. Sometimes being alone is better than being with the wrong person.
But, if love/romance is the only thing wrong, sometimes it's worth putting some extra effort into fixing it.

By Shazwan Mustafa Kamal
The Malaysian Insider
Mar 26, 2012
KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 — Datuk Mat Zain Ibrahim today continued to pressure the prime minister to investigate the Attorney-General for alleged abuse of power, arguing that a tribunal will prove Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail's "manipulation" in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder trial.
PM Datuk Seri Najib Razak had on Friday said there was no need to probe claims against the A-G made by Mat Zain and former Bukit Aman commercial criminal investigations chief Datuk Ramli Yusoff, saying they were mere allegations.
But Mat Zain claimed today a tribunal would "expose the wrongdoings of Abdul Gani in manipulating, hiding material evidence" in the Altantuya trial.
The A-G's manipulation, said the ex-cop, was evident with the change in prosecutors in the trial, where deputy public prosecutor Datuk Sallehuddin Saidin was replaced by Datuk Tun Majid Hamzah.
Mat Zain said the reason given by Abdul Gani back then was that Sallehuddin had an "intimate relationship" with the presiding judge as they were "badminton partners", and that that might affect the trial process.
"If the close ties betwen judge Mohd Zaki and Sallehuddin are being questioned, why did Gani Patail hide his personal relationship with Mohd Zaki and as well as Tun Majid's ties with the judge?
"Mohd Zaki was a judicial commissioner (JC) under Abdul Gani in 2005. Tun Majid, like Sallehuddin had close ties with Mohd Zaki as they were working together in Perak in 1987, and then the A-G's chambers," Mat Zain said today in an open letter addressed to Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar.
He said that if Abdul Gani had really wanted to be fair and impartial, he would have ensured that another judge presided over the Altantuya murder trial.
"By withholding material evidence, it is an offence under Section 415 of the Penal Code, and Gani cannot do this," added the ex-cop.
Mat Zain also claimed that former trial suspect Abdul Razak Baginda had signed an affidavit relating to the case in 2007, but the contents of the affidavit were never challenged by the A-G.
"Mohd Zaki released him without calling for his defence, as though his affidavit was not challenged.
"When Razak Baginda was freed, Gani Patail did not want to file an appeal even though there were a lot of calls to do so."
Mat Zain also alleged that a tribunal would shed some light into instances of power abuse and manipulation of facts in Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's Sodomy II trial and 1998 "black eye" incident involving the A-G and former IGP Tan Sri Musa Hassan.
He accused the two of stealing Anwar's blood samples for DNA tests in the Sodomy II trial and using it against him.
Mat Zain stressed that these were merely parts of a "no holds barred" testimony that he is prepared to give in front of the tribunal, should it be formed.
"The issue of a tribunal will not go away as long as both Abdul Gani and Musa Hassan are not brought to justice. Their transgression…is too serious to be forgiven."

GOALS, RESOLUTIONS, AMBITIONS, whatever you'd like to call them, I have a few I really want to focus on in 2012. I find if the list is too lengthy, not enough is accomplished. I have a top three list and then the little ideas that I'll chip away at. (look for those on Monday/Tuesday)
1. Is to continue to grow my business and blog. I am putting the finishing touches on some amazing projects, and have two photo shoots and some other exciting events on the horizon. To continue to Grow and develop all facets of SHELTER is numero uno. (Actually being the best Mommy in the world is #1 but again that sort of goes without saying)
2. Settle my damn divorce – Who knew this process would take so long? I just need to wrap it up and move on. When that affair (no pun on words) is settled I can accomplish my next task.
3. BUY and RENOVATE a quaint fixer upper. I'll be moving my digs this year, scary but also very exciting. Please stay posted for the change. If I do move, I will of course document any renovation and re-hab I take on.
So you ask? Why the photos of Lee Kleinhelter's work? Well, she's an inspiration. Like Lee, I enjoy keeping my designs graphic, exciting and timeless. She always gets it right and I adore her style and her shop. Her designs always WOW! I'm a sucker for the "wow" factor. My aim is to do the same for my clients. I usually have to push them out of their comfort zones a bit, but when they take risks, I'm the first to know that they are so glad they did!!
I've always been an admirer of Lee Kleinhelter's work. She and her husband have created a dynamic team. Lee is the designer and Kevin, the builder. Lee also owns an amazing shop in Atlanta (Buckhead), GA. aptly named Pieces. (to own a tiny store front will be a future goal in say: 2015, or so) Here's a peek at their office space. It's clear which is hers and his..
|I actually just used this paper on a project!! I never tire of a David Hicks graphic.

Mom seeks answers in infant son's death
Son taken to hospital after staying with sitter
A mother who is searching for answers about the death of her infant son said she believes he was the victim of a homicide.
Three-month-old Stephon McCoy died at Children's Mercy Hospital on Thursday. He will be laid to rest on Saturday.
"When I close my eyes, I see my son still," said Ashley Johnson.
She said she remembers the last moments she and her boyfriend shared with Stephon last week.
"When me and Sylvester got the chance to hold him, we were talking to him. And a tear dropped out of his eye," she said. "That was his last day, so I knew he heard me talking to him."
Five days earlier, a family friend in Grandview offered to babysit for the boy for a couple of days. The next night, she said her boyfriend got a call to report that her son had a fever.
"He said, 'OK, you can bring him home,' and she said, 'No, I'm going to keep him until the morning," she said. "Sylvester was like, 'Are you sure?' and she was, like, 'Yes.'"
Hours later, Stephon was admitted to a hospital's intensive care unit. Johnson said she rushed to be by his side.
She said he had bruises and cuts on his body.
"He had one on his leg and he had one to his head," she said
Doctors told her the internal damage was worse. She said she was told that her son was brain dead.
Johnson said she is convinced that her son was beaten and shaken to death.
"It hurts. I just can't imagine what he could have done to deserve that," Johnson said. "He couldn't fight back. He couldn't talk back."
Prosecutors are reviewing the case to determine whether charges will be filed. An autopsy has been performed, but the full results won't be ready for another six to eight weeks.
Johnson is preparing to say goodbye to her son. A visitation is planned at 10 a.m. Saturday at Forest Grove Baptist Church in Kansas City, Kan. The funeral service will follow at 11 a.m.
"I never thought I would have to bury my child this early," she said.

It wasn't just Eddie Lack's solid start to his first National Hockey League season that persuaded the Vancouver Canucks to sign him to a two-year contract extension.
There was also the fact that Lack would have become a Group 6 unrestricted free agent next summer if had he not played a total of 28 NHL games this season.
The Canucks did not want to gamble and potentially lose Lack next summer and Lack wanted to stay. It didn't take assistant general manager Laurence Gilman and Lack's agent, Kurt Overhardt, long to strike a deal.
Lack's two-year deal will pay him $1 million next season and $1.3 million in 2015-16. The deal carries an annual salary cap hit of $1.15 million. Lack is making $750,000 this year.
The contract was signed after Thursday night's game and announced by the Canucks on Friday.
Lack, who is always smiling, had an even wider grin than normal on Friday.
"I know I have a lot of hard work in front of me to stay in his league and keep performing at a high level, but I am really happy with the contract and really comfortable with (goalie coach) Rollie Melanson and the rest of the coaches and all my teammates," Lack said in an interview. "I am just happy to stay here."
The Canucks are happy to have him.
"We have been impressed with Eddie from the moment that he entered our organization," Gilman said. "Unfortunately, he sustained an injury that caused him to have his hip repaired. We were confident after he rehabilitated that he would prove that he could play in the National Hockey League. While his body of work is not that long we are extremely confident that he is going to be able to play and contribute to our team and we are happy to have him signed for two more years."
Lack has started four games for the Canucks this season and appeared in relief of Roberto Luongo in one other game. He has a record of 2-2 with a 2.41 goals-against average and a save percentage of .911.
Lack said the opportunity to continue working alongside Luongo is huge for him.
"For me personally, I feel like I am learning from him every day," Lack said. "Not just from watching him, but I can talk to him about a lot of stuff, too. He gives me some pointers and that is really helping me."
"It wasn't lost on Eddie and his representative that to have the ability to play with and learn from Roberto Luongo and Rollie Melanson will further his career," Gilman added.
Lack also cited the first-class treatment he has received from the Canucks as an important reason for agreeing to an extension.
"I'm just really happy here and I really appreciated what the Canucks did for me when I had the hip surgery and everything," Lack said. "I felt like they had my back all the time and were there for me. That was a big part of it, too."
Lack's contract is identical to one recently signed by fellow goalie Frederik Andersen in Anaheim. Other comparables include Jhonas Enroth (Buffalo) at $1.25 million and Jacob Markstrom (Florida) at $1.2 million.
DAY OF REST: Lack and the rest of the Canucks got the day off Friday and will practise on Saturday before playing the Dallas Stars in a 5 p.m. start on Sunday at Rogers Arena.
Saturday's practice figures to concentrate on offence, something the Canucks have struggled with in recent games. They have scored just one goal in each of their last three games, which have all been losses.
Gilman remains confident that the goals will come.
"Our team has competed very well over the last couple of weeks," Gilman said. "Particularly, the last three games we have deserved a better fate and we have had chances and have just not been able to capitalize on them. I am not concerned over the long haul because during an 82-game schedule if you are out-performing and out-working an opponent you will capitalize on your opportunities, eventually score goals and eventually win."

I remember the proverb as something like, "Ein Spass in der Hand (versus) Ein Vögel, am Dach."
Or something like a sparrow in hand versus a bird on the roof.
The best support I could find was this link about something on the head (versus) a Spass.
I'm using a "mapping algorithm" that says that a roof may serve a similar function to a head (in being on top).
So I'm a bit confused about something in hand being compared to something on "top," as opposed to in the bush.
And a LOT more confused about the one-to-one relationship between a sparrow in hand, and the bird, or whatever, wherever.

... and for the first time he can remember, Cason feels alive.
After being diagnosed with a rare lung disease as an infant, Cason has been fighting for his health all his life. It's been a struggle, but one thing that keeps him going is his fascination with animals – specifically, the wolverine.So when Cason finds out his one true wish to meet the wolverine is being granted, he can't contain his excitement.
Welcome to Alaska
The cold, Alaskan snow is much different than his rainy green home of Oregon. Cason treads along with his new friend Steve from the wildlife center, holding his hand as they approach the home of the wolverine.
Cason's gasps – there it is! Right before him is the creature he's seen so many pictures of, watched so many videos about. Steve gives him an encouraging smile and Cason steps forward to find the wolverine surprisingly playful! It chases the two of them around in the snow, and for the first time he can remember, Cason feels alive.
"This is amazing," he says, stroking its coarse fur.
Paradise in the Snow
After spending time with his new furry friend, Cason and his family enjoy the rest of what Alaska has to offer. With a view of the beautiful mountains and the sparkling snow, they take a helicopter ride up to a glacier for a day of sledding.
After a family fishing trip, Cason has had the experience of a lifetime meeting the animal he's so longed to see, and it's given him a newfound strength to fight the battle he will most certainly win. This is a fresh start for Cason, and there's nowhere but up from here.

We are looking at how our artwork changes and grows over time, from ELC last year, to Kindergarten this year, and on to Grade 1 next year.
In the artistic journey that these young artists have begun, they have
- drawn & painted their own self-portraits from observation
- observed and discussed different artists' self-portraits
- experimented with a variety of lines, shapes, colors, tools, materials, and processes in creating personal 3-D crowns
- begun making choices about artworks based on personal preferences and interests.
We aim to enjoy experiencing artworks, to show curiosity and ask questions about them, and to realize that our artwork has meaning.
At the same time, the students are becoming familiar with the elementary school art studio, learning what and where our materials and tools are, and practicing being responsible, cooperative classmates in storing artwork properly and cleaning up our workspaces.

MONTREAL — A classical scholar with a long career as a university administrator, Guy Berthiaume, who will become the new head of Library and Archives Canada (LAC) on June 23, is not someone who seeks the spotlight.
But as chairman and director of the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ) for the past five years, Berthiaume, 63, has been a constant and unwavering presence — interviewing Quebec vedettes on cable TV about their favourite books, chairing meetings with members of cultural communities on how to make the library more welcoming, overseeing the upcoming redesign of the ground floor of the BAnQ's Grande Bibliothèque and, this month, launching the provincial library's first fundraising campaign.
With 2.5 million visitors each year, the downtown library has the highest attendance in the francophone world and is among the most popular in North America. A bustling hub that has innovated in digital book-lending and the digitization of Quebec's provincial archives, the BAnQ, which opened in 2005 and has an annual budget of $90 million, is a runaway success.
Can Berthiaume repeat that success at the trouble-plagued LAC? It's a tall order at an institution that has been demoralized by budget cuts and leaderless since May 2013, when the previous head, Daniel Caron, resigned amid controversy over personal expenses, including $4,500 for Spanish lessons. Caron oversaw $10 million in budget cuts that reduced staff and acquisitions, all but eliminated interlibrary loans and prompted nationwide protest. The current budget is $99.2 million.
Berthiaume sat down with The Gazette to reflect on what his five years at the BAnQ have taught him about the role of libraries in the digital age and to share his vision for Library and Archives Canada.
Gazette: After five years at the head of the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, how do you see the future of libraries?
Berthiaume: Libraries are in the process of reinventing themselves. Our relevance as gathering places, as places that provide access to culture, as centres of knowledge, all that is not being challenged by digital technology.
We provide an essential refuge from urban isolation, because people are very isolated in our society. Libraries are still relevant, important places and I would even say they are even more and more so.
At the same time, we embrace digital technology, we use it and we make the most of it.
I think libraries have an excellent future. And this is not an abstract vision; it's a reality, because people continue to come in great numbers. We have 2.5 million visitors each year.
Gazette: When you look back over the past five years, which achievements make you proudest?
Berthiaume: There are two things of which I am very proud.
The first is how we have opened ourselves up to newcomers.
We developed a website for new immigrants. We have a section of books aimed at newcomers. We have a language centre where people can learn French and English. Our volunteers, the Friends of BAnQ, have French conversation groups.
We set up a children's story hour in eight languages, including Mandarin, Spanish, Vietnamese, Russian and Arabic.
We recently held a series of conferences on immigration in Quebec, called Histoires d'immigration, that started with the Scottish and went right up to people from central Africa, including the Italian, Greek and Vietnamese communities.
I was really happy to do this at a time when the climate last year was so difficult (with the debate over the proposed charter of values), as you remember.
The other thing is the work we did on the democratization of culture.
Here, we have 2.5 million people who come to the library, who borrow items from mainstream culture, novels by Danielle Steel and Dan Brown, television series, movies, video games.
I wanted to use that leverage, the high attendance here, to provide access to cultural products with which many of our visitors are not necessarily familiar.
That's why I invited the Opéra de Montréal to the library. I invited the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. We held conferences on Plato and we had a full house in the auditorium.
I did a series of interviews (on cable TV), La bibliothèque de …, with well-known personalities, standup comics, actors, singers, who came to talk about their favourite books.
Gazette: What surprised you the most during your time as head of the BAnQ?
Berthiaume: One of the things that surprised me the most is people's passion for genealogy. There's a very popular British TV series, Who Do You Think You Are? Radio-Canada did a similar show called Qui êtes-vous? Each episode started out here in our archives. It generated a lot of interest. After the show, a lot of people came to our website to try to find their ancestors.
The other thing that really blew me away, which was really a wonderful surprise, is how much people read. You always hear people don't read anymore. For my series La bibliothèque de …, there were very few people who refused to appear on the show because they hadn't read any books lately.
Even book sales keep rising. It's counterintuitive.
Gazette: Do you have any regrets about your time at the BAnQ?
Berthiaume: Every time you have to restrict opening hours, you go into mourning.
My other great disappointment is the magnificent project we had to create a teen library. Ever since I've been here, I've wanted to create a place especially for adolescents. It almost came to fruition, but then there was a change of government (in 2012) — and it's normal, governments want to re-examine projects, so I wasn't able to make it a reality. I hope this project will be revived, because it's so fundamental and important.
Gazette: What aspects of your experience here at the BAnQ do you think will prove the most relevant and useful at Library and Archives Canada?
Berthiaume: It's all the work we did on the digitization of documents. Because what is radically different between the two institutions is that LAC is a national library and a national archives, but it does not have the mandate to serve as a public library as we do here. So it's like the BAnQ without the Grande Bibliothèque.
We created a scanning service. We created a digitization budget of $1.5 million per year. We raised digitization to a professional level, because this is really the future of our collections and of our ability to render services with respect to heritage documents.
The other transferable skill is the capacity to work as a network, as a link in a chain. When you want to have access to our documents, whether the physical document is in Rimouski or Chicoutimi or in Trois-Rivières makes no difference to you. You just want to see it on your computer screen.
The same thing is true for Canada's archival documents. Whether the original is at the University of Toronto or the University of Victoria or in the public archives in Ottawa, that's not important. What you want is to see it on your screen.
Gazette: What are the greatest challenges facing you at LAC, and how do you plan to deal with them?
Berthiaume: First, it is very important to work with the employees to restore pride and a sense of belonging to the institution.
It's not a spectacular job, it's not a flashy job, but it is fundamental. It's essential that people believe in what they are doing, that they are encouraged to do it, that they know they are making a contribution and that their work is respected. That is very important.
The other thing is to build bridges with partners and stakeholders, because that is the way of the future. We can no longer think that it's possible to have every document in one place.
The Library of Alexandria (a great library in ancient Egypt that was destroyed under the Romans) has burned. And we can't rebuild it — it's no longer possible today. In Alexandria, Ptolemy could dream of having all the books because there was a limited quantity, but today there is such an explosion of information on the web, on blogs, people even write whole poems on Twitter. How can I think I can capture all of that in a single institution with limited budgets? The task is unlimited.
The third thing on which I will get to work very quickly when I arrive is the celebrations to mark the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017. This is an area where LAC's collections will play a very important role so that Canadians can be proud of their documents.
Personally, I find it very moving when I go to the National Archives in Washington, to see Americans line up to see their documents, like the Declaration of Independence, and to see how emotional they are about those documents. I dream that one day Canadians have the same relationship towards their fundamental documents.
Gazette: How will you handle the challenges that lie ahead, given the major budget cuts at LAC?
Berthiaume: I would say that I think we have turned the corner.
There have been major budget cuts at LAC. I cannot deny that, but it's over. The work has been done. The cuts have been absorbed. I do not believe — touch wood — that in the coming years we will see major upheavals comparable to those that have taken place in recent years.
Gazette: Library and Archives Canada stands at the intersection of history and the future. How do you see the institution's role in bridging Canada's past and its future?
Berthiaume: It is clear that institutions of memory are essential, especially in a young country like Canada, to help us understand ourselves and define ourselves.
We often tend to define ourselves negatively, by comparing ourselves to the United States, by saying we are not this or not that.
But we have our own history, our own storyline, and it is important to know that so we can project ourselves into the future.
This is why I plan to start preparing for 2017, because it will be a high point from which we can relaunch and redefine ourselves as Canadians.

Following his win over Carlos Condit this past Saturday, UFC welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre questioned whether he needed to gain weight at all to fight middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva.
Silva, he said, fought in PRIDE at 168 pounds and possibly carried the kind of frame suited to weight gains and drops – unlike him.
Silva again expressed his desire to fight St-Pierre following UFC 154. And while UFC President Dana White still hopes to make the match in 2013, one incentive would likely be off the table if Silva dropped to welterweight: GSP's belt.
"Probably not, because I don't know how many times Anderson would actually defend it," White said at the post-event press conference for this past Saturday's pay-per-view event.
St-Pierre, who outpointed Carlos Condit in UFC 154's headliner, said he needed to confer with his team before committing to a superfight with Silva, which he said could take place at a catchweight.
However, St-Pierre's longtime coach, Firas Zahabi, echoed an assertion made by the fighter as far back as two years ago when buzz around the superfight was at its peak. He told MMAFighting.com that a catchweight bout might prompt a permanent move up in weight. A welterweight fight would be fair.
Meanwhile, Silva, who's defended his middleweight belt a staggering 10 times, suggested the potential fight should take place at 177 pounds. The long-limbed champ has two fights remaining on his current contract following a first-round decimation of light heavyweight Stephan Bonnar at UFC 153.
The 37-year-old Silva's dwindling time inside the cage, coupled with St-Pierre's weight concerns, have lessened the importance of putting a belt on the line.
"It's more of a pound-for-pound, legacy-type fight," said White, who plans to give St-Pierre plenty of time to recover from his recent bout before approaching the possible matchup.
For more on the UFC's upcoming schedule, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

With the world cup just six months away, The Guardian has put together a great set of charts comparing the relative schedules of each qualifying team, based on their opponents' FIFA rankings. As you can see above, by this measure the U.S. has the third-hardest schedule, just behind Ghana and Australia. In fact, with England at tenth, Cameroon at 11th, and Nigeria at 17th, it's looking to be a pretty rough World Cup for all the English-speaking countries of the world.
Based on the these rankings, The Guardian found that the U.S.'s Group G—not Group B, as some have argued—wins the title of "Group of Death," although Group B holds the title for single strongest match (Spain-Netherlands, ranked 1st and 9th respectively). The weakest match belongs to Group F, where Iran (ranked 45th) will take on Nigeria (36th). The charts for the USMNT's and Australia's games are below, but The Guardian has complete strength breakdowns for each game and each group; you should go check them out.
It's important to remember that the FIFA Rankings, which are based on a limited number of international matches played by each team before the Cup, can differ from other ranking models somewhat dramatically. For example, Nate Silver's SPI ranking puts Portugal at just 15th, while FIFA puts them fifth. If SPI is more accurately gauging Portugal's strength, that could make a world of difference for the USMNT, although it's not like the opposition gets any easier in the knockout stage.

I have been trying to determine your position on the New Perspectives on Paul, Federal Vision, etc. All I have been able to find is that a final report to the General Assembly will not be available until 2007.
I was wondering if you could post or email me some information concerning these matters. This would help me make a decision regarding church membership. Thank you for your consideration.
The General Assembly of the OPC, the highest governing body in our denomination, appointed a committee to critique the New Perspectives on Paul and other related projects, with particular respect to justification and doctrines related to it.
That committee reported preliminarily to the 72nd General Assembly (2005), indicating things like the number of times that the committee had met, some of the focus of its work, and other logistical matters. The Minutes of that Assembly have not yet been published.
The completed report is to be made at the 73rd General Assembly (2006). As I said, the committee has been mandated to critique the New Perspectives on Paul, Federal Vision, and other related movements with particular reference to justification and other related doctrines.
The committee has indeed found troubling teachings in these movements, the fuller explication of which must await the final report. However, this does not mean that the OPC has not spoken very clearly about a number of matters addressed by these movements. She has in her Confession and Catechisms, and, with specific regard to justification, reiterated her Confessional commitments (Minutes of the 71st General Assembly, Journal, p. 27).
I trust that this is helpful to you in your decision making.
Note: For a more recent discussion of this topic, please see Q&A: Laymen and the Justification Report - 04/08/2007
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

Who is she?
The 59, the number that corresponds to Lexy ´s personality, confers her an impulsive and reckless tendency along with the inevitable incidents that can result from such behaviour. Indeed, the effect of the 5 (note that there are five letters with a value of 5 in this first name - which is a lot!) is greatly amplified by the number of inwardness, the 3, which can result in rather disorderly behaviour. She is a lively and curious individual who wants to go faster than her own shadow, is highly strung and often treats life like a game of poker. Tempted by adventure, she is quite care-free, fiercely independent and refuses restriction with an appetite for life that is quite contagious. Furthermore, she has an answer for everything and her power of seduction combined with her sense of humour and shrewd mind gives her a certain ascendancy over others. Her biggest flaw is that she is not always particularly determined and her adaptability could work against her; into everything, she enthusiastically begins a thousand tasks but hardly ever finishes any. If she manages to live in harmony with the vibrations of her master number 11 (number of exteriority), by reaching for the stars; she could access a passionate life where originality, inspiration and intuition all have their place (emotional upheaval and depression are not to be ruled out, as they often go hand in hand with such a high level of emotional excitement). Otherwise, Lexy will live these vibrations an octave below at the level of the 2, the reduced expression of 11, and will in this case seek association, life as a couple or to support and care for others... As a child, Lexy should be closely monitored and a firm upbringing is the best way forward where this clever, talkative and versatile little girl is concerned, as she can be rather unstable and is quick as a flash. She could be an early bloomer, sexually speaking; which obviously could pose certain problems... Parents, use all your powers to resist her devastating charm and avoid indulging in her tendency to embellish reality, or even to be untruthful. Get her to join her local theatre group, or practice a musical instrument as this will allow her to experience her emotional nature in a positive and beneficial way.
What does she like?
Lexy enjoys games, life´s pleasures and communication. All the world´s a stage, as far as she is concerned. She appreciates change and loves travelling. In matters of the heart, she is a passionate soul who is no stranger to « love at first sight » and getting carried away by her emotions in a most exaggerated and unreasonable fashion. However, her flame often quickly flickers and dies, faithfulness not really being her strong point. A enchantress and a heartbreaker, her love life is important to her and the intimacy of a romantic relationship is nevertheless necessary to her emotional equilibrium, which can often be fragile.

What does she do?
When it comes to choosing her career, she is likely to be seduced by all that moves and evolves in the first instance; otherwise, Lexy will compensate by changing occupations frequently. She could be attracted to sales and representation, advertising, journalism, comedy or real estate; or a career as a guide or an air hostess (especially if she was born on a 5th, 12th, 14th, 21st, 23rd or 30th of the month; if she has a life Path Number of 3 or 5; or if she was born in March or May), temporary work, office or administrative work... If the 2 prevails (if she was born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th or 29th day of the month; in February, or if she has a life Path Number of 2), she will be drawn to occupations with a humanitarian orientation, those requiring intuition and an understanding of the workings of the human mind or in connection with spirituality; or if she lives at the level of the number 11 (if she was born when the sun was in Aquarius, on the 11th or 29th day of the month or has a life Path Number of 11), she is likely to choose an occupation in connection with advice, counselling or teaching...

Widow wants to bury Casey Kasem in Norway
COPENHAGEN, Denmark >> A spokeswoman for the funeral service agency in the Norwegian capital says the wife of U.S. radio personality Casey Kasem has cited her Norwegian heritage as a reason for burying her late husband in Oslo.
Kasem, the host of "American Top 40," died June 15 in Washington at age 82. His death followed a lengthy battle over his care between wife Jean Kasem and his three adult children from his first marriage.
Spokeswoman Wenche Madsen Eriksson said Tuesday that Jean Kasem also informed them of plans to move to Norway later this year and said having her late husband interred there would allow her to visit him.
Casey Kasem's publicist, Danny Deraney, has said that Kasem told friends and family that he wanted to be buried in Los Angeles.

Robert Guralnick is leaving as president of Warner-based Jerry Weintraub Prods., with Bill Gerber expected to replace him.
Guralnick, a former Warner exec, told Daily Variety that he's leaving amicably and will depart in a few weeks.
"Every day was interesting working for Jerry, but our relationship ran its course," he said. Weintraub's best known recently for producing the "Ocean's Eleven" franchise. He's developing a bigscreen version of "Tarzan" for Warners with Stephen Sommers directing.
Like Guralnick, Gerber's a former Warner exec. He's also a Warner-based producer, working with Clint Eastwood on "Gran Torino" and with Phillip Noyce on developing a remake of the classic swashbuckler "Captain Blood."
