The Slow Death Of An Icon
This site is usually devoted almost exclusively to the IZOD IndyCar Series. In the past I've deviated slightly to discuss the moon landing or to joust with Roy Hobbson. Forgive me today for venturing away from IndyCars and focusing on a venue that is more known for NASCAR Cup racing and USAC Sprints. Still, it is about racing and it satisfies my craving for racing history – so indulge me.
I took in a local icon this weekend, that appears to be destined for the wrecking ball. Long before the concrete white elephant known as Nashville Superspeedway opened in 2001, Nashville was home to one of the oldest tracks in the country – Fairgrounds Speedway. The historic old track and the Tennessee State Fairgrounds that surround it are the subject of a bitter local political dispute. Mayor Karl Dean wants to demolish the site and have the area re-developed for either a business community or a greenway park. He has the full support of residents who have recently moved into the area, only to be shocked to discover that a racetrack sits nearby and is rather loud. Keep in mind that the track was there way before they were. That might explain why the house was so cheap.
Actually, Fairgrounds Speedway has been there in some form or fashion since 1904. It first existed as a dirt track and beginning in 1915, featured many of the same cars and drivers that ran in the Indianapolis 500. The current track was built in 1958 as a paved half-mile oval.
What is now the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, ran at least one race per season at the track from 1958 until more political squabbling forced NASCAR to leave after the 1984 season. All in all, there have been forty-two NASCAR Cup races at Fairgrounds Speedway. Of those, nine were won by Richard Petty. Aside from all of the NASCAR stars of the day that would run twice a year at the old track; drivers such as Darrell Waltrip, Donnie and Bobby Allison, Sterling Marlin, Bobby Hamilton and Dale Earnhardt raced at the track regularly as part of the weekly racing series during the developmental stages of their careers.
The current configuration is a five-eighths mile oval with eighteen degree banking. The track was lengthened in 1969 with thirty-five degree banking, but that configuration proved to be too fast, so they lowered the banking to the current eighteen degrees in 1972.
I hate to admit that being a life-long Tennessean and having lived in Nashville for the past nine years – I had never been to Fairgrounds Speedway until Saturday. Since I've lived here, the track has hosted races every weekend from April to October. It looked as if the Mayor had succeeded in his quest to kill the track, but a new promoter with a family history at the track – Tony Formosa – took it over and was able to put together a very abbreviated season (five dates) for 2010. This past Saturday was one of those dates. With the Titans pre-season kickoff not scheduled until 9:00 on Saturday night, I thought it would be a good opportunity to visit the grand old relic before it was razed.
When I suggested the idea of going to the track to my significant other, she looked at me like I had two heads. With the temperature over a hundred degrees, I knew my daughter had no interest and my son is in Florida. A couple of friends said no, but a co-worker had promised me that he was going. He didn't. Hot weather and fickle friends would not deter me from experiencing racing history and nostalgia. It's only a ten minute drive from my house to the track located just south of downtown Nashville. Racing didn't start until 5:00. I thought it might be cooler then. It wasn't. Even though I was alone in my quest, I was going.
My first mistake was taking a shower before I went. Not only was it a waste of time, since I started sweating as soon as I got there; but apparently I was the only one there that had bathed in several days. I knew before I arrived, that wearing my IndyCar polo shirt would make me a little out of place. What I didn't realize, was that actually having sleeves at all would set me apart. Not having any tattoos or a ponytail also put me in the vast minority.
Legends die hard in the south. We've managed to keep Elvis and Bear Bryant alive for decades. Add Dale Earnhardt to the mix. I saw no less than three Dale Earnhardt look-alikes complete with bushy mustache and GM Goodwrench apparel.
But being the non-judgmental person that I am, I overlooked the differences in our appearances and talked to several fans around me. I was surprised to find out how much these local stock car fans knew about the IZOD IndyCar Series. Even though no one I talked to had ever been to the Indianapolis 500, a couple had been to the Brickyard 400; but they knew more about our form of racing than I expected. Of course, they all knew about Dario Franchitti, since he lives here – but Tony Kanaan seemed to be the consensus favorite among them. Surprisingly, no one I talked to cared too much for Danica Patrick – but then again, these were real racing fans I was talking to.
I took in the whole experience. I moved around the stands, and I also took advantage of the tasty concessions. Although they didn't have a tenderloin sandwich that you would find at Indianapolis motor Speedway, they had one of the best corn dogs I've ever eaten, at a much more affordable price than you'll find at IMS.
There were five races. Beginning at 5:00 were the Frontrunners, which resembled old, small cars from the sixties and seventies. I think I saw a Datsun and a Chevy II in the field, and the twenty lap race was won by what looked like an AMC Gremlin. Then the Super Streets took to the track for a thirty lap race. These looked like stock cars from the seventies – a mixture of Monte Carlo's, Cutlass's and Century's.
The Late Models were next. This was when it hit me that things were not all that economically healthy with the track. There were only five cars to start the thirty lap race that featured new-looking cars that resembled what we are used to seeing in NASCAR.
After that, the most curious cars took to the track – the open wheels. I knew that this wouldn't conform to what my definition of an open-wheel car was, but I thought maybe it might resemble something that looked like a sprint or midget. Instead, it was a strange looking vehicle that looked like a modified stocker with the front fenders removed. This race featured only six cars in a thirty lap race.
Finally, it was time for the feature event; the Pro Late Model race that was scheduled for 125 laps. These also looked like regular NASCAR Cup cars and also featured two-time Daytona 500 winner, Sterling Marlin, who started fifth. For the past hour, dark clouds had been gathering. As the skies grew darker, lightening became very prevalent. This was not the Indianapolis 500 or even the Firestone Indy 200. Although the stands were covered, I didn't relish the thought of sitting in aluminum grandstands during a lightening storm. Call me a fair-weather fan, but at the first caution on lap twenty-two – I left.
I had seen what I came to see. Quite honestly, all five races that I saw were entertaining. The crowd of regulars all knew who they liked and didn't like. The only name I knew was Sterling Marlin, so I followed him as he battled for fourth before the first caution. But the racing was fast and furious. I saw passion as drivers got spun fighting to defend their positions. I also saw many drivers in all divisions, fight for the lead; only to blow up after they got there – they had been too hard on their equipment. No rev-limiters there. Patience paid off many times, as those that knew the fine line between running hard and too hard would watch others fall by the wayside.
This was grass-roots racing at the most basic level. Not only did I feel like I was taking a step back in time; I felt like I was in another state. This felt like small town Americana in the truest and best sense. The fans I spoke with have been going every week for years. They were saddened by the political events that make leveling this track a near certainty. The drivers aren't in this for the money. Few, if any, will ever race beyond this level. They do this because they love it. It's refreshing to see this kind of passion for a sport, at any level.
Weekly racing is dying across the country. With hundreds of HD channels devoted to the most obscure interests, technology that makes anything a few keystrokes away – it's hard to conjure up interest among the younger set. But based on the size of the crowd on a hot and sticky Saturday night, there seems to be enough interest among the locals to justify keeping Fairgrounds Speedway around. I just don't know that there will be that many interested in a greenway park.

I grew up in Tennessee and never heard of this track. We have a similar track outside of Raleigh, with similar small-time locals racing. A friend of mine just bought a car and is trying to get it in condition to race. When he does, I want to go watch it and expect an experience much like you had.
I used to pit for a guy who raced hobby stocks on dirt tracks in Minnesota. I still enjoy that kind of racing better than anything – these guys put their heart and soul into it, with shoestring budgets, limited to no sponsorship, and varying degrees of talent. You've got a unique mix of up-and-comers with folks that will probably never go beyond their home track. The fans are passionate, and the lack of corporate cleansing is refreshing. I'm glad you had a good time.
I'm also a fan of sprint cars on dirt – there aren't many forms of racing that are quite that intense. I don't know if you've ever been to it before, but the Knoxville Nationals is one race that I think every race fan should have on their life list. I know Pressdog has been covering it. Classic small-town Americana mixed with serious horsepower. It's a great experience.
I'd imagine the loss of racetracks like the one you describe is contributing to lack of fans in the seats and in front of the tube for both Nascar and Indycar. One of the first automobile races I ever attended was a dirt track midget race somewhere in Indy when I was 10 or 12. I was asked to go by some girl who's dad was a big fan and that one night had something to do with my interest in racing to this day.
But with the economic downturn and the political incorrectness of burning fuel and loud engines, along with raising a generation of gamers and tv watchers–I don't see much future for small racetracks. Hope I'm wrong.
I remember doing some work for the track years ago when i knew the guy running it. Went to a couple of races but as an open wheel and road course fan it was a novelty. What i saw over that time was that it's a hard track to run. And I'm sure making money at it isn't easy. But tracks like that have history so it'll be sad to see them go.
This was a great read, George. I'm glad you enjoyed your local track and I really hope someone finds a way to save it. We've lost too many fairgrounds tracks already, too many tracks in close proximity to well-populated areas. Still, as long as folks want to race, someone who loves the sport will have a track available for them.
Unfortunately, I live on the wrong side of town from the local racetracks, but I make the 50 minute drive often enough to be a semi-regular at the 3/8 mile asphalt track. The dirt tracks are close to an hour and a half away, so I frequent them only on occasion (mostly for the rare occurrence of sprint cars in Texas).
It's tough to beat the asphalt track's $6-$15 ticket for close to 4 hours of action-packed racing (pretty close to what you saw in Nashville), plus $1 hotdogs, and the best cheap french fries anywhere.
If you ever make it up for a race at Chicagoland in Joliet, or to some of the races at the nearbye Autobahn CC road course in Joliet, try and swing by Morris, IL (just west of Joliet). There lies a great local track, Grundy County Speedway, which is paved and often features midget racing. It's nothing fancy but it makes for a full day of racing after watching big cars at Chicagoland or finese road course racing at Autobahn.
Great piece here, George. I've only been to one 'weekly racing' event before. That was a few years back at Thompson (Conn.) when I was still living in New England. A buddy of mine had an uncle racing some four-cylinder Honda and another friend of theirs raced the Modifieds. It was a fun night, even though the Mod race was marred by like, 10 cautions or something.
I still think weekly racing will survive but perhaps only in the rural regions. As Billy said, a lot of tracks near urban centers have gone under over the years. Land that's too valuable, too much competition with other attractions…I'm sure there's more reasons than that. It's a shame, but I guess that's progress.
Great work, George. I've been a fan of local short tracks, and I love to get out there whenever I get a chance to go check them out. They've all got their charms, like minor league baseball (or even Little League) fields, and it's a shame that they're beginning to be a dying breed. I've hit at least one little dirt or paved oval near almost everywhere I've lived (though shamefully not Winchester Speedway in Virgina, where I lived about two miles from the track but was in a snobby SCCA mood at the time). I've even managed to hook the wife on going once or twice a summer, since I convinced her that it's fun to wager on the local crap stocks (this, mind you, from the lady who was bored at the 2006 Indy 500, closest finish in history and all). "Eagle Raceway! America's Home Track!" Good times. Very good times.
Fantastic piece, George! As a kid growing up in northern Virginia, my parents and I would frequent Old Dominion Speedway near Manassas for oval racing and Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia for some SCCA road racing — all of it fantastic. Now, as a resident of Bloomington, IN, I try to get to Boomington Speedway, a 90-year-old quarter-mile, high-bank, dirt bullring, a coupe times a year. It is ALWAYS the Friday night leg of Indiana Sprint Week and Indiana Midget Week and it ALWAYS packs in the crowds. It's a fantastic little track in a fantastic city — I recommend the USAC Midget race, 'cause those little cars really fly on tracks like Bloomington.
Nice job George… As you may know I am originally from Long Island NY. Back when I was a kid, there were several great race tracks on LI, (Freeport, Islip and Riverhead), in fact my father worked with several folks at the Grumman Corporation, that built, owned and raced stockers and midgets. (in fact my gift request for my holy communion was a trip to Freeport Raceway to watch Jim Lacy drive) Over the years as home building burgeoned and "civilization" came to every corner of the island, one by one those tracks were closed. At one time the tri-state area held so many races that many drivers would drive from state to state competing in as many races as they could fit in logistically each weekend. From one weekend to the next many guys had to decide whether to pay the rent or rebuild their racing engines so they could go back and do it all over again. As you mentioned in your article, the race tracks had been there for years, but once homes were built within earshot, the homeowners crusade to close them began. The same went for the many airports once located on LI.
Apparently Riverhead is still open…

Nielsen to treasure outdoor game with Islandersby Adam Kimelman
Growing up in Herning, Denmark, New York Islanders center Frans Nielsen said it never really got cold enough for him and his friends to skate outdoors. On those rare occasions, he said, it felt like they had won the lottery.
He's holding another winning ticket, with the prize being a date for him and his team with the New York Rangers at Yankee Stadium on Jan. 29, 2014, as part of the 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series.
Tickets to the two games at Yankee Stadium (Rangers vs. Devils, Jan. 26, 12:30 p.m. ET and Rangers vs. Islanders, Jan. 29, 7:30 p.m. ET) are on sale now. BUY TICKETS ›

"It's awesome," Nielsen told NHL.com. "It's going to be just like it was the first [Stanley Cup] Playoff game, something you'll always remember. It's going to be special. I was very excited when I heard the news [that they'd be playing outside]. Should be fun."
Nielsen said he didn't have the same outdoor hockey experience that NHL players who grew up in Canada or the northern parts of the United States did. The rare times it was cold enough for the local ponds to freeze, Nielsen said he and his friends did their best to treasure every second of the experience.
"The winters didn't get too rough, so it didn't get cold enough for the lakes [to freeze] to consistently [skate outside in the winter," he said. "I've been skating outdoors but not like ice in Canada or Minnesota. Wasn't like that.
"It would definitely be fun. You'd be out there all day and skate around when you had the chance."
Nielsen have another chance to go outside in late January. As much as a thrill as it will be to skate under the open sky, the venue he and his teammates will be playing in will make the day just as memorable.
"I go there a lot, once or twice every summer to watch a game," Nielsen said of Yankee Stadium. "You can feel there's something special there. Lots of history. You compare it to a lot of big soccer stadiums back in Europe. It's a special place and it's going to be fun to play there."

Modern & General History
England has in the past ruled more countries and more land (at one time more than ¼ of the world) than any other of the famous conquering nations such as the Romans, the Greeks, the Persians, the Vikings, the French, Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese. How did the English who once ruled even North America get to be such a powerful nation? Were we a cruel ruthless people? Did we have the best army and navy? Were we starving and had to find more land? Did we have the best guns or were our men better trained? How and why did we travel around the world and who was trying to stop us?
We will look at those who previously invaded and ruled England; 3000 years ago the Celts from central Europe 2000 years ago the Romans from central Italy 1500 years ago the Angles, Saxons and Jutes from northern Germany and then the Vikings from Scandinavia. 1000 years ago the Norman's - who were Vikings who had settled in Western France 200 years previously. After the Norman's invaded 1000 years ago no peoples have ruled the English other than the English. Indeed no other nation has even managed to land on English soil.
We will look at the powerful people who tried to teach us good and bad things (Right and wrong) particularly the various Christian churches and some other religious groups who have operated in England or effected us from afar. We also look at more modern history and how and why society is changing including a detailed look at the London riots in 2011.

You are on another Presenter's website.Take me to my website!
Derek Maxfield and Melanie Huscroft, a brother-and-sister team, founded Younique in September 2012 with a mission to uplift, empower, and validate women across the globe. Derek and Melanie firmly believe that all women should feel valued, smart, and empowered through opportunities for personal growth and financial reward!
As Younique's Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Derek Maxfield oversees all of the company's strategic initiatives and growth objectives. His primary focus is on Younique's mission, and he always seeks to provide Younique Presenters with the tools and support they need to succeed.
Derek and his sister, Co-founder and Chief Visionary Officer Melanie Huscroft, founded Younique in September 2012. The pair envisioned a mission-first company designed to support The Younique Foundation, which brings healing and hope to survivors of childhood sexual abuse. After 12 years of developing software for top players in the direct sales industry, Derek sought to capitalize on the untapped potential he saw to improve the direct selling business model.
Derek's passion is providing a simplified digital experience in a traditional sales environment. With Younique, this is achieved by social selling and virtual parties instead of traditional home parties. He loves creating simple but powerful mobile technology, empowering Younique Presenters to run an entire business anytime, anywhere, from the convenience of a mobile device. Derek emphasizes the corporate motto is to "Keep it simple, keep it special." This means choosing technology because it's powerful in achieving the Younique Presenters' goals, not just because it's popular.
The roles Derek treasures most in life are those of husband and father of five. His faith and his family come first in his life.
Co-founder and Chief Visionary Officer Melanie Huscroft is the heart and face of Younique. Despite the company's colossal growth, Melanie's personal touch and creativity run through every department and aspect of Younique. She continues a hands-on approach to product selection, naming, and branding, with each Younique product's persona reflecting her own.
Melanie teamed up with her brother, Founder and Chief Executive Officer Derek Maxfield, in September 2012 to create an entirely new experience in direct sales as a means of supporting The Younique Foundation. From its inception, Younique leveraged Melanie's experience in advertising, art, marketing, purchasing, and sales as well as her flair for fashion and beauty. Her 16-year career as a full-time homemaker, wife, and mother of four likewise prepared Melanie to connect with the company's Younique Presenters at a deeper level. She understands the wins and struggles inherent with the stay-at-home role, and she appreciates the limitless power and potential women possess.
Melanie's passion is tied up in the visual identity of Younique's brand, from website and catalog design to the packaging, even down to the very details of the coveted charms Younique Presenters receive for various achievements. She takes pride in the company's Younique Presenter-first focus, including using Younique Presenters instead of professional models to represent the brand.
While Melanie has many professional accomplishments, she is most proud of her marriage and family. She also spends her time and resources involved with the community.
Joey Toscano is Younique's Chief Experience Officer. In his role, Joey focuses on the company's digital innovation strategy, including ecommerce, mobile apps, Back Office, and other digital tools for Younique Presenter success.
Joey has been with Younique since its inception, working to execute Founder Derek Maxfield's vision and ideas into useable technology. Having worked with direct sales companies previously, Joey saw a need for better software and user experience in the industry. He built the company's initial software and online experience, including its ecommerce, Back Office, and social media. As Younique grew, Joey oversaw its software development, customer care, user experience, and marketing departments before shifting his focus wholly to future and long-term strategy.
Crafting meaningful experiences and understanding people are Joey's passions. He's fascinated by the psychological interplay of digital experiences and people's actions, and this interest has fueled Joey's career. A background in photography and digital arts, coupled with a knack for programming, positioned Joey to excel in UX. He has worked in the tech industry for 20 years, including in the health, home automation, and education sectors. While getting Younique off the ground, Joey also helped launch a STEM afterschool education center, building the software to teach children programming and robotics.
Joey thrives on projects that get his creative side going—especially where his passions for music, technology, and art intersect. He spent most of his 20s living the musician's dream, touring the United States with his band. He continues to dabble in diverse projects like building custom web apps for record labels and providing custom art direction and design.
Joao Rodrigues is Chief Marketing Officer at Younique. In this role, Joao applies his extraordinarily robust experience in overseeing the company's global marketing, user experience, product development, communications, and recognition teams.
Joao came to Younique in May 2017. He is passionate about understanding consumers and collaborating with a dynamic team to find solutions in a fast-paced business environment. Joao has built his career in marketing for consumer products across countries, working in Brazil, Mexico, Spain, the UK, and the U.S. Most recently he worked as a general manager for Coty in Mexico City. Younique's industry-leading social-first marketing drew Joao to Utah—but that's not all.
The idea of uplifting, empowering, and validating women resonates with Joao, who has two daughters with his wife, who he has known since high school. "When I look at my two daughters, I would like them to have a better future," Joao said. "When I see the reason why the company was started, I have a personal connection."
When he's not creating marketing solutions, Joao can be found running, playing soccer, skiing, and spending time with his family.
As Chief Sales Officer, Tori Poulter is responsible for ensuring that Younique Presenters—Younique's direct sales force—have everything they need to succeed. This encompasses the company's events, field support, and customer care departments in all local markets. Under Tori's leadership, Younique rebuilt the recognition and training programs as well as added field training, bonuses, and incentive programs. She also focuses on carrying out the vision of Co-founder and Chief Visionary Officer Melanie Huscroft in 12 countries around the world.
Creating beauty is Tori's passion—including inner beauty, pulling out the best in others and helping them feel they have value. Ironically, that can be a challenge in the beauty industry, and it was this personal mission that brought Tori to Younique in September 2015. She has spent more than 20 years in the beauty industry, specifically working in training and sales with a number of national brands. Prior to Younique, she worked for L'Oréal for more than a decade, most recently serving as vice president of sales for one of their brands.
Tori says her greatest accomplishment in life is being mother of four amazing children and maintaining a happy marriage. She loves Younique's culture that supports a work-life balance with personal success and fulfillment.
Shelaine Maxfield is president of The Younique Foundation. In this role, she creates the vision of what should happen for the The Younique Foundation, including its retreats.
The Younique Foundation was the driving purpose for the creation of Younique. Founder and Chief Executive Officer Derek Maxfield—who is Shelaine's husband—had promised a dying friend that he would do something good with his life—and The Younique Foundation fulfilled that promise. A conversation between Derek and Shelaine sparked the idea to specifically create an organization to help survivors of childhood sexual abuse find healing and hope. Younique was founded in 2012 with creating funding for The Younique Foundation as its ultimate goal—and as the fastest-growing direct sales company in history, Younique succeeded enough to make that dream a reality within two short years.
Shelaine has been at the helm of The Younique Foundation since it opened in 2014. She credits the foundation's work with awakening in her a sense of purpose she didn't know she had. Shelaine has traveled the globe inspiring Younique Presenters and others to find their callings and to make a powerful difference in the world.
Before her work at The Younique Foundation, Shelaine was a stay-at-home mother to her five children. She currently serves on her children's school board and loves spending time with her family. Although Shelaine loves to travel and has the ambitious goal of seeing all of the temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints around the world, she says that her favorite place is home.

The 10 craziest stories of 2013
An Elvis impersonator falsely accused of sending ricin-laced letters. A crack-smoking Canadian mayor. And of course, another sexting scandal starring Anthony Weiner. This past year had no shortage of outrageous, over-the-top political stories featuring everything from paternity tests to plagiarism.
( VIDEO: 2013 in five minutes)
Story Continued Below
Here are POLITICO's top 10 weirdest stories of 2013:
Sexting with Danger
It was like 2011 all over again this summer, but with more Danger. Carlos Danger.
( PHOTOS: 8 times Weiner lied about lewd pics)
Disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner began his attempt to finagle his way back into public life in April with a New York Times Magazine profile of his post-congressional, supposedly post-sexting, life. Weiner officially began his ill-fated campaign for New York City mayor on May 21, repeatedly saying he and his family had moved beyond the scandal as he sought to keep his focus on the "issues."
Enter Carlos Danger.
Turned out that Weiner had indeed continued sexting with women after leaving Congress, as photos, messages and his ridiculous moniker were shared. A woman, later identified as Sydney Leathers, came forward with sexually explicit online messages. And on July 23, he admitted that he kept having relationships even after he got caught the first time.
Weiner finished with a tiny 5 percent of the vote, and just after his concession speech, he gave a fitting goodbye to the reporters who covered his campaign as cameras caught him flipping off a journalist.
( WATCH: Anthony Weiner: Timeline of scandal)
All My Children, or Not
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of Rep. Steve Cohen's life. And what a soap opera year it was for the Tennessee Democrat, complete with a surprise "daughter," a shocking paternity test and a bunch of bizarre tweets.
It all started with a series of tweets — which were then deleted — between the congressman and a young woman. During the State of the Union address, Cohen and the woman had tweeted back and forth, with him writing, "nice to know you were watchin SOTU (state of the union). Happy Valentines beautiful girl. ilu" [I love you].
When questions were raised about the nature of the relationship between them, Cohen revealed that the young woman, Victoria Brink, was actually his daughter. He'd only discovered her existence three years ago, he said. "I Googled her mother, found out she had a child and the math looked pretty accurate," Cohen said at the time. "The mom told me we had a lot of catching up to do."
( PHOTOS: Scandal pols: Where are they now?)
In April, Cohen again got caught up in some Twitter drama, deleting a tweet to Cyndi Lauper that said "great night, couldn't believe how hot u were" after he attended a performance by the singer. Cohen said later that he did it as a joke and to play a trick on the press. "Because in this age, which I learned a couple of months ago with a situation with some very loving tweets to my daughter, I discovered the best way to get a message out is to tweet and delete," he said. "Because the press will immediately assume the worst, something salacious, something nefarious and jump on it."
The story again took a dramatic turn several months later when CNN's "New Day" had a paternity test done on Brink, with Cohen's participation. The test revealed Cohen was not the father.
Rand Paul and the case of the copy and paste
The plagiarism charges around Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul — he was accused of lifting from a think tank study, an op-ed in The Week magazine, Wikipedia entries for the films "Gattaca" and "Stand and Deliver," and more sources — stayed in the headlines for a few weeks in the later part of year, with ever-more examples of other people's writing found in his book, speeches and op-eds.
( QUIZ: Do you know Rand Paul?)
"The footnote police have really been dogging me for the last week," Paul told ABC's "This Week" in November. "I will admit that. And I will admit, sometimes we haven't footnoted things properly."
Sure, "mistakes" were made in his office and things got a little "sloppy," the Republican senator said. But Paul maintained throughout the controversy that it wasn't plagiarism so much as a failure to footnote. Anyway, he told The New York Times, "this is coming from haters to begin with."
Still, the charges ended up costing the Republican his regular column with The Washington Times, although he bounced back with a new gig at Breitbart. And Paul and his staff now carefully footnote his writing, making sure that even a quote from "Popeye" gets properly cited in a press release.
Beyoncé's Sing-Off
Beyoncé's surprise album release this month wasn't the only thing the superstar singer did in 2013 that got noticed. Back in January, Beyoncé dominated the news with the question of whether she sang the national anthem live on Inauguration Day or not.
( PHOTOS: Top congressional scandals)
In the aftermath of reports that she may not have given a live performance, White House press secretary Jay Carney danced around the question, telling reporters that "I actually have no idea what's true and what's not about what happened here and I don't think it's particularly important to address from the podium here."
The Marine Band, which accompanied the singer, added to the mystery when representatives released several differing statements about the incident, first telling news outlets Beyoncé had indeed lip-synced, but then backtracking by saying that "no one in the Marine Band is in a position to assess whether it was live or pre-recorded."
It turned out that, yes, Queen Bey had prerecorded the song for her performance on the chilly January day. But in true pop superstar fashion, she put the issue to rest later at a news conference about her upcoming Super Bowl gig. Before taking any questions, she belted out a jaw-dropping live rendition of the national anthem — an over-the-top, but effective, effort to silence her critics.
"Due to the weather, due to the delay, due to no proper sound check, I did not feel comfortable taking a risk. So I decided to sing along with my prerecorded track, which is very common in the music industry," she explained to reporters.

The Buccaneers have selected a new general manager to guide Tampa Bay out of the dark.
Pro Bowl Draft on NFL Network
The first-ever Pro Bowl Draft will be televised during a live three-hour broadcast on NFL Network at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2014. More ...

» NFL Network schedule
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that the organization has struck a four-year deal with a fifth-year option to make Jason Licht the successor to the fired Mark Dominik, according to two sources informed of the negotiations. The team later confirmed the news.
Licht comes to Tampa after spending last season as the vice president of player personnel for the Cardinals. He previously served as Arizona's director of player personnel in 2012.
He also spent 2009 to 2011 under Bill Belichick as New England's director of pro personnel after a variety of front-office roles with the Andy Reid-led Eagles from 2003 to 2007. Before that, Licht toiled as a scout for the Patriots, Panthers and Dolphins.
Bears fans might recall that he was among the two finalists for the general manager gig in Chicago that ultimately went to Phil Emery. In Tampa, he'll work closely with former Bears coach Lovie Smith, where they'll nurture a roster packed with talent on both sides of the ball.
On defense, tackle Gerald McCoy graded out as the NFL's top pass rusher at his position, per Pro Football Focus, while linebacker Lavonte David is a star in the making. Darrelle Revis, meanwhile, remains in the conversation as the league's premier shutdown cornerback.
Mike Williams, Vincent Jackson and Timothy Wright give the Bucs a legitimate group of pass-catchers on offense to complement one of the NFC's deeper collection of backs. Doug Martin and Mike James pack a strong one-two punch behind Mike Glennon, the young signal-caller Licht and Smith have inherited.
Before the last coach, Greg Schiano, was scattered to the wind, he told the locker room: "We have our quarterback."
Whether or not Licht agrees with the last guy looms as this offseason's top storyline in Tampa.

ATLANTA - Senate lawmakers eased a major restriction Monday on a bill that would ban women from getting abortions five months into a pregnancy, opening a rift with House lawmakers who backed a more stringent proposal.
The original legislation from Rep. Doug McKillip is part of a national campaign to ban abortions starting 20 weeks after conception when abortion opponents say a fetus can start feeling pain - a point disputed by doctors. The Republican's bill made exceptions for pregnancies that threaten the life or health of the mother. It would not permit abortions after the deadline to protect a mother's mental health.
In a major shift, the Senate adopted a last-minute change that would allow women to get an abortion even after the five-month mark if a doctor determined a fetus has a fatal congenital or chromosomal defect. Critics of the bill have said that many abortions performed so late in a pregnancy are sought by parents who learn their unborn child will not survive outside the womb.
"I think we need to give doctors and their patients that opportunity," said Republican Sen. John Bulloch, who supported changing the bill and ultimately voted for its passage. He said lawmakers should "not punish a pregnant woman."
It was unclear whether House Republicans will accept the new changes. McKillip said he did not have an immediate opinion on the new version, though his Senate allies had urged lawmakers to vote down the changes. If McKillip does not strike an agreement by Thursday, when the General Assembly adjourns for the year, his proposal will fail.
Women can now get abortions in Georgia for any reason during the first six months of a pregnancy. They are legal during the last three months only to protect a woman's life or her physical or mental health. The proposal from McKillip would effectively narrow the time women can decide to legally get an abortion by about a month.
Senate President Pro Tempore Tommie Williams, a Republican who supported the bill, compared modern abortion to the ritual sacrifice of children condemned in the Bible. He spoke before the legislation was altered.
"We sacrifice children not to propitiate the gods for a good crop but for convenience and other reasons," Williams said.
Doctors and geneticists have told state lawmakers that some tests and other information on fetal health may be unavailable before 20 weeks, forcing parents to make decisions based on incomplete information.
Sen. Valencia Seay, D-Riverdale, spoke about the experience of one couple who she said learned close to the proposed deadline that their unborn son was not surrounded by protective amniotic fluid in the womb. He lacked kidneys, functioning lungs and was so constricted that his limbs and features became deformed, Valencia said. The couple got an abortion.
"They didn't want their son's life being spent in an environment that was so cramped that his body grew deformed and he could not move around, only to suffocate upon birth," Seay said. "Their son was not going to live regardless of when he was born."
McKillip's bill first passed the House last month. Since then, he voluntarily changed it to make clear that the names of doctors who report performing abortions to the state must be held confidential. House lawmakers must vote to approve the changes before the bill could go to Republican Gov. Nathan Deal.
If enacted, Georgia would be the seventh state to pass a version of the so-called fetal pain act.
The legislation proposed in Georgia is modeled after a 2010 measure adopted by Nebraska that later inspired other bills in Kansas, Alabama, Idaho, Indiana and Oklahoma. The proposals depart from the standards established by the U.S. Supreme Court which allow states to limit abortions when there's a reasonable chance the fetus could survive outside of the womb, generally considered to be around 23 or 24 weeks.

Glenshire students raise more than $3,500 for UNICEF
Special to the Sun
TRUCKEE, Calif. –Even though it takes place on Halloween, the students of Glenshire Elementary School learn more about the spirit of giving than receiving when they participate in the annual "Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF" drive. This community service opportunity gives kids the chance to learn about the difficulties many children face and to understand that small efforts can produce big results when people work together.
An annual tradition at Glenshire Elementary, this year's UNICEF drive started on Halloween morning, when the entire student body gathered in the gym to watch an inspiring video message from UNICEF and to celebrate the ideals of peace, love and sharing. Later in the evening, when all those trick-or-treaters headed out into their neighborhoods, hundreds of Glenshire students chose to take along their orange donation boxes to collect donations in the form of spare change. Many students also made personal donations, breaking open piggy banks and combing through the sofa cushions, knowing that every little bit counts.
On Nov. 1, the coins started pouring in! Some students emptied their boxes directly into a community pot, collecting a sticker for participating, but never knowing the exact amount of their donation. Others took donations to their classroom to be part of the morning's math lesson; the students of Mrs. Markheim's third-grade class were amazed to find those coins added up to more than $130. Eventually, local and neighboring businesses, like Wells Fargo Bank, Save Mart and Boomtown, helped the students at Glenshire convert all those small coins into a sizeable donation. When the process was finally complete, this year's donation, including matched funds from UNICEF's corporate donor program, was an impressive $3,582.35!
Glenshire Elementary's participation in the annual UNICEF drive is due largely to Principal Kathleen Gauthier's desire to see students take an active role in service to others. She said, "The funding Glenshire students have contributed to UNICEF over the last 12 years has benefited children across the globe, but very importantly, being involved has benefited Glenshire kids. There is nothing like realizing you can make a difference, you can help others. I still remember the power I felt as I collected for UNICEF as a child." Since Mrs. Gauthier's arrival at the school in 2001, Glenshire students have raised more than $25,000 to help UNICEF provide emergency services, immunizations, education, better nutrition and safe water to less fortunate children in our own country and in more than 150 others. And, of course, all of those donations were made available by this community.
Thank you, Truckee, for helping to inspire and encourage our kids to make a difference in the world.

About MAJikMARCer
No. We don't need Democrats or Republicans to fix this mess. We need Americans who are willing to do what is right for the country and it's people. Far too few of them make it to Washington.
You'll have to take away their TVs and Walmart first. Though, if prices keep going up on things like milk, that could happen.
If only some members of the Legislative branch have access to this information, how can proper oversight be maintained? Let's be honest, it's not hard to buy the silence of a few or have them tow the desired line of discussion.
And I'm getting really tired of what seems to be an over-classification of information, information that we deserve to know. Making information classified to hide illegal or even just embarrassing actions is wrong on all levels, yet we continue to let it happen.
"broadband crunch" translates to less profits because we have to provide more capacity.
This isn't shocking to me at all. TWC doesn't believe in cord cutters either, writing us off as impoverished or ignorant. Their hubris will catch up with them eventually.
Do I need 1Gbps? Probably not, but I'd probably be a lot happier in the summer and afternoons when all the kids get on my local cable Internet node and slow things to a crawl.
Wait with high unemployment and governments through out the US struggling to balance their budgets there is serious talk of putting in a whole new court just for copyright claims?
This is just wrong on so many levels. It's an unnecessary cost to our society with little resulting benefit.
I don't really disagree with you, but there is very little 'street art' that IS done legally. Hopefully he can get a good lawyer to settle the excessive charges though.
While I don't disagree with you I think this is also a case of a bold staffer being punished for being bold and acting without broad support.
Doesn't matter if he's right not not, he made the party have to scramble and they didn't like that.
This ruling effectively makes the new owner of the license a legitimate owner, thus the software companies shouldn't allowed to stop them via DRM. However it may require further lawsuits to fix this.
I'm sorry but you can't blame piracy for the sh!t ton of reality tv crap that ALL the major networks are spewing out. Remember when TLC meant The Learning Channel?
And all of the contest (American Idol/Dancing With the Stars) shows... those are just as bad.
How did we get that crap from piracy? The reason it's on is because it's CHEAP and there is a large percentage of the population (unfortunately) who eat it up, but mostly because it costs so little to produce compared to other TV programming.
The national nightly news isn't NEWS anymore. They have all become 'news magazines'. More opinions and 'feel good stories' than actual news.
I big issue is that for every hour of entertainment there is at least 20 minutes or more of commercials. I've also noticed a number of 30 minute shows are actually only about 10 minutes of content, with 20 minutes of commercials and 'recaps/previews'.
With the rise of DVRs people are skipping over a ton of this crap. Studies have shown that you still get some of the commercial 'content' when skipping so it's not about the length of the commercials.
We have a lot of alternatives drawing our attention today. We don't NEED to sit idly by and absorb the content that is given to us. We have a choice now.
It seems the providers still seem to think that consumers WANT a completely passive entertainment system. Maybe some still do, but that number is dwindling.
As a kid...hell even into my early adulthood the Olympics have been something I just love. I've shed tears at opening/closing ceremonies. What the Olympics are SUPPOSED to represent are awesome and amazing. Hearing about shit like this just makes me sad though. These events should be shared openly with the entire world, not controlled and fed to us like all the other media out there. It's supposed to be special! :(
Frankly I think that some employers are simply using the current job market as a reason for abusing applicants this way. I know and accept that potential employers (and likely your current employers) are going to check out your online presence, but to request direct access to the accounts is unacceptable.
I know it's not easy to say no, but that's exactly what people need to do. I don't care what my employer things of my blog, Google+ or Twitter account but my Facebook is locked down to just my close friends and family, because it's my private life.
That said, I don't think it needs to be a law. As the Internet continues to grow people will become more and more savvy about their online identity. Your username and password is potentially more important than your social security number these days. Just because someone works in HR doesn't mean they wouldn't abuse the access granted to them.
And why do people use Go Daddy again? The so called mass exodus due to SOPA was a flop. They gained more than they lost during that same time frame.
It is just marketing? Are the general public just ignorant about other providers and the atrocious actions of Go Daddy?
Obviously there IS still competition and if Google is now charging others now have an opportunity to compete.
Hey I'm all for supporting the little guy but if Google's product is superior, regardless of the price, and consumers are being well served I fail to see the problem.
Additionally Bing and even MapQuest are still in use (can't speak for use in France so my point may be bunk) so Google Maps has competition.
Maybe some smaller, traditional map makers may be failing but that's due to the change in technology. Evolve or die. To me this case is no different than the old guard media companies complaining about how the Internet is destroying (really just changing) their market.
I wonder if it would be against the terms of service at Kick Starter? I know it's not what that platform was designed for, but could you imagine the message it would send to Big Content? I'd contribute.
Even if she was sharing the files she downloaded on BT (kinda the point), the fine is a life destroyer and given the 'crime' it's not fair.
It's all a margins game. And in a way it's not so different than the death of the music stores. Why buy CDs from a dedicated music store when you can order online? Why buy from a dealer and haggle, when you can find your car online and get a better deal?
But just like music, there will be a few dealers here and there who provide exceptional service, selection, and prices that will keep going despite this.
My guess, the biggest whiners are the dealers/auto makers that are ripping customers off the most.
Thats funny. I have never signed a contract when buying a CD or DVD. Even software EULAs are questionable when it comes to being legally binding.
But if that's what you want, go ahead, make us have to sign contracts for everything; every little iTunes purchase, every time we go to RedBox, every time we visit Best Buy. See if that helps you make more money.
All it did was make file sharers more cautious. It might have stopped some people, but the teens growing up with this technology will out pace any file shares who dropped out because of The Jammie Thomas case.

What's Your Primary Source(s) for SEO/SEM Information?
Based on some industries discussions that have taken place over the past two days, I think it's time to find out where SEOs and SEMs go first to get their information.
Please take the quick poll below and let's find out.
REWORK, Phish, and SEO
Trust me. I know it's an odd pairing; disjointed, in fact. But there's something both REWORK and Phish can teach us about SEO and SEM. And, I have to admit, this post was a tough one to glue together and find a link to all three.
REWORK and SEO
SEO is, for the most part, details work. We swim in the data details, finding out if this or that piece of data is meaningful. And why it means something to you. There's no question that SEOs like to jump head-first in the deep end of the keyword pool. And, you want us there: it's one of things we do best. However, there's a real tendency to get incredibly detail-focused early on that you end up drowning before you can do anything meaningful.
That's where REWORK comes in. While the book is designed for small and mid-sized business owners (SMBs), there are some key points that SEOs either ignore completely or simply forget that's where their focus should be first. The Epicenter (or as I like to call it, the foundation). The entire book is is dedicated to eradicating "bloat" and finding the core.
When you start anything new there are forces pulling you in a variety of directions. There's the stuff you could do, the stuff you want to do, and the stuff you have to do. The stuff you have to do is where you should begin. Start at the epicenter.
Rework and Rethink: Solidify Your Core
Before you start drowning in the all the possible directions a website could go, focus on the thing that's going to matter most to the site: the core. Start with the site architecture, making sure that it's exactly how you need it to be in order to optimize it for maximum results. Then move to keywords and keyword phrase choices. Then to internal linking structure through content, and so on. Make sure what you do on-site is solid before you start asking the rest of the world to give you votes.
Phish and SEO
If you've never listened to them, this section is going to be harder to understand. But with anything improvisational, communication and risk are central to the idea. Improvisational masters listen first then create around what they hear everyone else saying. Phish has been doing this for over twenty years. While their studio albums don't break records on the charts, their live shows are something to marvel.
What they do best is take a highly complex arrangement and then stretch it (or "change gears") until it becomes a conversation between the four musicians, each picking up on each others "words". The result: they can take the music in any direction through progressive chromatic changes, going to an almost ambient sound, or turn on a dime, and create something that's pleasingly dissonant. The trick, it seems, as with improvisational master, is not breaking the rules until you master the rules. It's one the major tenets in creative writing too (i.e. using fragments and slang).
The same is true of SEO. There's going to be a time to change gears and change the direction of approach. But only after you've got the rules down and solid website core. This is where you turn ho-hum into magic. You can start unraveling your SEO tentacles into off-site optimization, page speed, and social media. All you have to do is start listening to the site and the consumers visiting your site to know where you should go next.
The Science of Improvisation
If you're still scratching your head, don't worry, I'm going to clarify it in a moment. That's the common thread between REWORK and Phish. Mastering the art/science of improvisation. The gentlemen at 37 Signals (creators of Basecamp project management software) have made the art of improvisation a veritable science over their six years. And, Phish, like their jam-band predecessors before them, found a way to work and rework a single song hundreds upon hundreds of times. Each time a unique entity.
Although each one starts from a very different end of the spectrum, both find their way to being centric, smaller, simple, and lasting. And, that's the how I tie in SEO: it's what SEO is about. Improvising to continually focus on core SEO: business-centric keywords and phrases. Honing a website architecture until the bloat is erased, and it's simple and usable. It's about improvising and listening to the site and the people who use the site, to create lasting results while inducing conversions and generating leads.

Former All Blacks winger Doug Howlett has been named Munster's captain for the forthcoming season.
Howlett replaces Paul O'Connell is skipper and becomes just their second overseas player to captain the squad. Munster face London Irish at Musgrave Park tonight and Howlett said he was honoured to captain the team.
"It truly is one of the highlights of my career," Howlett said. "I know I've got big boots to fill following Paul, Axel, Mick Galwey and Jim Williams.
"And I'm also aware of the number of leaders in this squad, people well capable of doing this job and that makes my appointment all the more worthy and humbling."
O'Connell opted to stand aside after taking on the role for the past six seasons. He claimed that he felt the timing was right with their new coaching team in place and he was quick to praise his replacement.
"I think we're unbelievably fortunate to have a player of Doug's calibre to step in," O'Connell said. "He brings a wealth of experience and an exemplary work ethic to the job that can only benefit Munster Rugby in the season ahead."
New head hencho Rob Penney said of the decision: "The process to select a new captain has been on-going for the past number of weeks and involved discussion with players and staff.
"It's never easy to replace a player of Paul O'Connell's stature but then again, as Paul said, we are indeed fortunate to be able to turn to Doug to take over the role. I don't think I need to expound on the qualities that Doug brings, you people in Munster will have seen firsthand his contribution over the past number of seasons. I'm just delighted to have him as squad captain. I know he'll do a first rate job."

California will create an Internet-based insurance exchange to let consumers comparison-shop for affordable health insurance coverage under two of the many laws taking effect with the new year.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed bills in September making California the first state to authorize an oversight board for an insurance exchange marketplace since the federal health care overhaul was enacted earlier this year. Massachusetts implemented its exchange before the federal reforms.
The Republican governor and Democratic legislative leaders who carried SB900 and AB1602 said the companion bills will drive down costs and give consumers more options by promoting competition between health insurance companies. Republican lawmakers countered that the measures create an expensive new health care bureaucracy even before the federal law takes effect in 2014.
Supporters said the five-member board overseeing the California Health Benefit Exchange will need those three years to hire staff, set up the program, select health plans to participate and enroll Californians needing health insurance.
Health and Human Services Agency spokeswoman Amy Palmer says establishing such a mechanism is "an extraordinary job in the best of circumstances," let alone while the state faces a budget deficit of at least $25 billion through June 2012 and a change in administration.
The health agency secretary is one of five board members. Gov.-elect Jerry Brown made it one of his first two appointment announcements in early December, a month before he was set to take office. Brown said he would retain Schwarzenegger's finance director and appoint Diana Dooley as the new health secretary. Dooley had been president and chief executive of the California Children's Hospital Association.
"The governor-elect supported the president's efforts early on and will continue to do so," Brown spokesman Evan Westrup said.
Schwarzenegger is to appoint two members of the California Health Benefit Exchange before his term ends Jan. 3, and the Legislature will appoint the remaining two.
Those laws are among many taking effect Jan. 1. A look at some of the others:
- Possession of up to one ounce of marijuana becomes an infraction no more serious than a speeding ticket. The maximum penalty of a $100 fine and no jail time does not change under SB1449 by Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco. However, reducing the crime from a misdemeanor to an infraction means offenders will no longer face arrest, a criminal record and having to appear in court.
- While punishment decreases for low-level marijuana possession, it increases for paparazzi caught driving recklessly while chasing celebrities. The offense increases from an infraction to a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a $2,500 fine under AB2479 by Assemblywoman Karen Bass, D-Los Angeles.
- Impersonating someone online through fake social network pages, texting or e-mails becomes a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and a year in jail. Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, said his SB1411 updates the state's impersonation law, which dates to 1872, to outlaw "e-personation." Prosecutors must prove the impersonator had the criminal intent to harm, intimidate, threaten or defraud. Victims can sue for damages.
- Automakers and owners can place video recording devices on their vehicles' windshields under AB1942 by Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, R-San Diego. The monitors record continuously, but save video and audio for up to 30 seconds if there is a crash or unusual vehicle motion.
- Three new laws are intended to speed up searches for missing persons in response to a convicted sex offender's slaying of two teenage girls in San Diego. AB33 requires uniform guidelines on how police respond; AB34 requires quicker reports to the state Department of Justice and National Missing and Unidentified Persons system; and AB1022 creates a Justice Department missing persons coordinator. The bills were carried by Assemblymen Paul Cook, R-Yucca Valley, and Pedro Nava, D-Santa Barbara.
- Prosecutors can charge parents with misdemeanors if their children miss too much school under SB1317 by Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco. Parents could face up to a year in jail and $2,000 fine if prosecutors prove they failed to reasonably supervise and encourage their student to attend school. The truancy law sought by incoming Attorney General Kamala Harris applies to parents or guardians of children age 6 or older in kindergarten through eighth grade.
- The Amber Alert notification system can be used when there is an attack on a law enforcement officer and the suspect has fled under SB839 by Sen. George Runner, R-Lancaster. The Blue Alerts may be triggered when an officer is killed or seriously wounded and could provide vehicle or suspect descriptions on television, radio stations and freeway signs.
- Anyone under 21 who wants to drive a motorcycle must complete a safety course before being issued an instruction permit under AB2499 by Assemblyman Roger Niello, R-Fair Oaks. The Department of Motor Vehicles says there are more than 6,000 drivers age 19 and younger already licensed to drive motorcycles.
- Courts can seize property used in human trafficking, including houses and vehicles, under SB677 by Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco. Traffickers can face civil penalties up to $25,000 on top of any criminal sentence.
- State prison inmates who are incapacitated by health problems can be given "medical parole" to shift some of their cost of care to the federal government under SB1399 by Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco. The inmates already are in outside health facilities but must be guarded around the clock even if prison officials say they pose no danger.
- Plaintiffs and defendants can agree to one-day expedited jury trials under AB2284 by Assemblywoman Noreen Evans, D-Santa Rosa. The law permits eight instead of the usual 12 jurors and limits each side to presenting three hours of evidence, among other provisions. Attorneys say the quick trials will cut costs and help unclog court calendars.
- Foster youth are eligible for state services until they turn 21 under AB12 by Assemblywoman Karen Bass, D-Los Angeles, and Assemblyman James Beall, D-San Jose. Previously they lost all benefits when they turned 18. The new law uses federal funding to help foster youths stay with relatives, in group homes or with a foster family.
- California officially repeals a 60-year old law requiring the Department of Mental Health to research the causes and cures for homosexuality under AB2199 by Assemblywoman Bonnie Lowenthal, D-Long Beach. The 1950 law classified gays as sexual deviants.
- Bakers must stop using trans fat oil under a 2008 law that phased in restrictions on the artery-clogging ingredient. California was the first state to prohibit the use of trans fats under AB97 by Assemblyman Tony Mendoza, D-Artesia. Restaurants, cafeterias and fast food vendors had to switch to an alternative oil a year ago.
- Restaurants and vendors can again sell Asian rice noodles at room temperature under SB888 by Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco. Yee sought the law after the state Department of Public Health and food inspectors cited noodle-makers in San Francisco and Los Angeles for not immediately refrigerating the steam-cooked noodles.
- Landlords will not be allowed to evict tenants who are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking under SB782 by Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco. The law prohibits landlords from evicting tenants if the primary reason is the tenant's concern of being attacked again.
- One of the year's most significant new laws took effect immediately when it was signed Sept. 9 by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, R-San Diego, named his AB1844 Chelsea's Law, after Chelsea King, a 17-year-old who was raped and murdered in a San Diego County park this year by a convicted child molester. It allows life without parole sentences for adults who kidnap, drug, bind, torture or use a weapon while committing a sex crime against a minor. Life terms can now be imposed for first-time as well as repeat offenders. It increased other penalties for child molesters, including requiring lifetime parole with GPS tracking for people convicted of forcible sex crimes against children under 14.

Science Class and the Star Walk iPad App
The best science apps created for the iPad are those geared toward the teaching of astronomy and celestial exploration. With the Star Walk iPad app, science students can use the iPad's built-in accelerometer and GPS information system to simply point to the sky to obtain vast updated information about where they are looking.
In this activity, science students use the Star Walk iPad app to explore the sky for recognizable celestial objects and identify them.
|Submitted by
|Dr. Randy Yerrick, professor of science education, State
University of New York at Buffalo
|Grade level
|4th- to 12th-grade astronomy
|Navigate the sky for recognizable celestial objects; identify
and name constellations, stars, galaxies, and planets.
|iPad 2 (or higher), iOS 5.1 (or higher), Star Walk app
|Materials needed
With the Star Walk iPad app, celestial navigation is made simple through the interactive interfaces that allow the user to turn on and off the available layers of information when pointing at the night sky.
Teaching with the Star Walk app can be as easy as taking an independent evening stroll with the self-lit app in hand and noting the relative positions of the objects in the sky. At the same time, this app adds a robust environment to explore important questions such as
Does the sun really rise in the east?
Does that ever change?
Where do all the planets appear in the sky?
How can you tell a planet from a star or galaxy?
Can people in the Southern Hemisphere see the same stars as people in the Northern, Eastern, or Western hemispheres?
Where do stars go during the day?
The power of this app can be seen in a very simple activity for children up through adulthood. Ask students, "How many planets are there? More important, how do you know?"
Have students point out any objects in the sky that they think are planets, and before they use Star Walk, ask them to point to any they can see. Ask them to draw where those objects would appear at night, and explain what they would look like.

Buying, selling, or renting property?
Real estate refers to land, as well as anything permanently attached to the land, such as buildings and other structures, and covers more than just the drafting of contracts for the purchase and sale of property. Both federal and state laws regulate real estate transactions. The Federal Fair Housing Act, for example, prohibits discrimination in real estate transactions on account of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Many states have enacted similar legislation that prohibits discrimination on the basis of certain characteristics.
Attorneys in this field may handle leasing issues, landlord-tenant disputes, eviction proceedings and homeowner association (HOA) problems. Other matters within this practice area include title disputes, mortgages, covenants, easements, and equitable servitudes. Many real estate issues can affect both commercial and individual renters and landlords. Real estate lawyers who represent commercial interests may also focus on land use, zoning, environmental law, or eminent domain issues.
Some states provide a certification for lawyers who have demonstrated experience and competency in the practice of real estate law. These attorneys must meet certain educational, experience, and examination requirements to receive the certification as a specialist.
Deed: The legal document that transfers the ownership of real property from one party to another.
Mortgage: A mortgage is a document signed by a borrower when a loan is made that gives the lender a right to take possession of the property if the borrower fails to repay the loan.
