Civic Center, Philadelphia[Record group 156]
- Alternative/Former Names
- Philadelphia Museums, Trustees for Establishing;
Philadelphia Commercial Museum, Exhibition, and Convention Halls, Trustees of;
Philadelphia Civic Center, Board of Directors of the
Board of Trade and Conventions
Agency Function
- The Philadelphia Civic Center seeks to attract exhibitions, conventions, trade shows, athletic events, and public admission shows of all kinds for the general benefit of the City as a whole, both financially and from an entertainment standpoint. It operates Convention Hall, Exhibition Halls and the Civic Center Museum for these purposes. The Civic Center complex serves over one million visitors per year, with five large public buildings comprising over one million square feet of space.
The Board of Directors of the Civic Center consists of seven members appointed by the Mayor and two ex-officio members from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Operations are carried out through the Executive Director and the General Manager.
- Agency History
- The first listed Trustees were established by an ordinance of June 15, 1894 to promote the development of a "group of museums...[chiefly] commercial" and was composed of the Mayor, the Presidents of Select and Common Councils, the President of the Board of Education, the Superintendent of the Public Schools, all ex-officio, and representatives appointed by the Board of Education, the Fairmount Park Commission, City Councils, and by eight other citizens designated by the ordinance. Until 1905, when all of the trustees' facilities were located at their present site at Thirty Fourth Street and Curie Avenue, a commercial museum and library information bureau were maintained at Fourth Street and Willing's Alley. An ordinance of December 22, 1932, retitled the Board of Trustees of the Philadelphia Commercial Museum, Exhibition and Convention Hall. The Board's new composition included the Governor of the State, his Secretary of Forests and Waters, and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. With the adoption of the City Charter of 1951 the Trustees were reorganized as the Board of Trade and Conventions of the City's Department of Commerce comprised of seven appointees of the Mayor and Council and the Director of Commerce, the Superintendent of the School District of Philadelphia and the State Secretary of Commerce and Superintendent of Public Instruction. Ordinances of 1955, 1964, and 1966, while changing the names of the complex of buildings under the Board's control to the Philadelphia Civic Center, did not affect the composition or functions of the Board.

Having already qualified for the division 3 shield final ,it was back to league action last weekend for Mullinahone FC. They secured all three points with an emphatic 3-0 away win against Tipperary Town. Micheal Cahill has made a comeback in goal in recent weeks and gave another commanding display between the posts.

No AOC mercy for drug lies
ENACTING a landmark rule change that could imprison athletes who lie about doping for up to five years, Australia's Olympic Committee is urging domestic sporting codes to follow suit.
The AOC's move - believed to be a world first, and a development International Olympic Committee head Jacques Rogge has been alerted to - will make it mandatory for all future Australian Olympians to sign a statutory declaration about doping.
AOC president John Coates circulated final details of the Ethical Behaviour By Law amendment to his executive on the same day the Australian Crime Commission tabled its findings about widespread banned drug abuse in elite sport. Within 24 hours Coates reported unanimous approval.
The Olympic boss said the reform could be a template for organisations like the AFL and NRL which have never demanded athletes declare their doping histories - with legal implications - as a condition of competing.
"I would encourage them to look at what we've done, even down at a club level," Coates told Fairfax Media, citing the example of British cycling team Sky, which has lost several coaches and riders since enforcing mandatory doping declarations late last year. "But I'm not lecturing them, and I'm not saying we're immune."
Acknowledging the likelihood that Australian Olympians have lied about their doping histories as recently as last year before the 2012 London Games, Coates - also Court of Arbitration for Sport president and an IOC member - believes statutory declarations will reduce the chance of history repeating.
"In the past they might have said that [they didn't dope], but there haven't been any consequences. And so I do worry, in respect of athletes and team officials, that we didn't always get truthful answers," he said.
"Now we'll be able to get into their heads the fact that you might have been able to cover this up before but you won't be able to now.
"This will either force athletes to confess, or they won't sign it and they will drop out of wanting to be selected."
The AOC's draft statutory declaration informs athletes they are "strongly encouraged to seek independent legal advice" before signing. The document outlines that making a false declaration about their doping history is a "criminal offence and may attract significant penalties". It cites penalties of up to two years imprisonment if the offence is dealt with summarily, and up to five years imprisonment if the offence is dealt with on indictment.
Under the new AOC rules an athlete, team official, AOC executive or an employee found to have made a false declaration about doping would face civil and criminal consequences. If they refuse to sign they will be ineligible for the Australian Olympic team or AOC employment.
Coates said he would be "absolutely gobsmacked" if an AOC executive suffered the same fate as Cycling Australia vice-president and ex-pro Stephen Hodge, who stood down after admitting to doping last year. But Coates conceded: "You never know."
The demand is considerably more serious for athletes than the recommendation made in the investigation into Australian cycling tabled by former Supreme Court Judge James Wood last month. Wood recommended that the signing of simple declarations be a prerequisite of selection.
The AOC board first discussed the reform at a meeting last November - weeks after the US Anti-Doping Agency stripped Lance Armstrong of his titles and banned him from sanctioned sport for life. One rule Coates had championed, but could not proceed with, was banning officials with past doping offences from Australia's Olympic team for life.
Coates believes Matt White, Australian men's road cycling coach at the London Games, who admitted to doping when he was a teammate of Armstrong's, should never be eligible for Olympic duties again. Lawyers advised, however, that the AOC could not enforce that rule and remain compliant to the World Anti-Doping Authority code because it could be seen as "double punishment".

Port Douglas is the gateway to the World Heritage wonders of Tropical North Queensland. It is the closest mainland port to the Great Barrier Reef and only a short drive into the heart of the Wet Tropics rainforest at Daintree and Cape Tribulation.
Getting to Port Douglas from Cairns is an hour's drive along one of Australia's most scenic coastal roads with the rainforest on one side and the Great Barrier Reef on the other.
Favoured by A-list celebrities as the place to get away, Port Douglas is an intimate and relaxed town where food, wine, arts and culture are appreciated. The friendly locals are only too happy to include visitors whether it's sharing their favourite coffee stops and fishing spots or playing 18 holes on a world-class golf course.
Feel the pace slow as you revitalise with lazy days on the beach, or come alive and explore nature's untamed tropical wonders. Swim at beautiful Four Mile Beach, wander down the main street for boutique shopping with a tropical twist, dine with the birds at a wildlife park or dive into the Great Barrier Reef.
Nearby is Mossman Gorge, a spectacular freshwater swimming hole where you can experience local Indigenous culture and explore the Daintree rainforest.
Restaurants are many and varied with delicious interpretations of local produce and tastes from around the world, or relax with a counter meal at a glorious Queenslander pub.
While luxury is definitely a highlight of Port Douglas with magnificent resorts, elegant homes and superb apartments the holiday choice of the well-heeled, backpackers and families are equally well catered for in the relaxed tropical atmosphere of Port.

I suspect that the government lawyers who successfully defended the HHS contraceptives mandate against RFRA and Free Exercise claims in Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. v. HHS really would have preferred to win on different grounds. That is because the basis for the Third Circuit's decision is legally insubstantial. On an issue that will be decided by the Supreme Court, it would be better for the government to have won on a more defensible basis than the conclusion that a "for-profit, secular corporation" cannot "exercise religion."
The dissenting opinion by Judge Jordan convincingly demonstrates that the majority's ultimate conclusion is wrong and that its supporting reasoning is defective. Will Baude at Volokh Conspiracy and Marc DeGirolami at Mirror of Justice have also raised questions about the panel majority's analysis. Over the next couple of weeks, I aim to provide additional critical commentary that elaborates on criticisms previously raised and offers new angles of analysis and criticism. While some of these criticisms will be based on arguments advanced in the amicus brief that I co-authored in Conestoga, I aim to expand beyond the targeted set of arguments advanced there.
For now, I will begin with Marc DeGirolami's argument about the short shrift given RFRA in the panel majority's analysis. The majority opinion states: "Our conclusion that a for-profit, secular corporation cannot assert a claim under the Free Exercise Clause necessitates the conclusion that a for-profit, secular corporation cannot engage in the exercise of religion. Since Conestoga cannot exercise religion, it cannot assert a RFRA claim." DeGirolami argues that the court should not have simply assumed "that a term as used in the Constitution must mean exactly the same thing as a term used in a statute."
DeGirolami is right that there cannot be a one-to-one relationship between RFRA and the Free Exercise Clause as interpreted by the Supreme Court. The purpose of RFRA was to replace the legal standard for evaluating Free Exercise claims adopted in Employment Division v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990). But given the stated intention of RFRA, there should be a close correspondence between the pre-Smith reach of the Free Exercise Clause and the reach of RFRA. One of the purposes declared in the legislation is "to restore the compelling interest test as set forth in Sherbert v. Verner, 374 U.S. 398 (1963) and Wisconsin v. Yoder, 406 U.S. 205 (1972) and to guarantee its application in all cases where free exercise of religion is substantially burdened." 42 U.S.C. § 2000bb(b)(1).
If the panel majority's analysis had started with RFRA instead of the Free Exercise Clause, it is less likely that its analysis would have led to the wrong conclusion. To begin with, there is more textual guidance in the U.S. Code. As DeGirolami points out, Congress has declared that the protected "exercise of religion" "includes any exercise of religion, whether or not compelled by, or central to, a system of religious belief." That language suggests an expansive understanding of "exercise of religion," and it invites further inquiry into how "exercise of religion" should be understood.
As I have previously argued in connection with the Third Circuit's earlier mistaken decision on the contraceptives mandate, "a religiously based refusal to do something otherwise required by law is an 'exercise of religion.'" Consider the facts of Sherbert v. Verner, 374 U.S. 398 (1963), one of the two cases singled out in RFRA. The exercise of religion in that case was Adele Sherbert's religion-based refusal to work on Saturday. See id. at 403 (describing the relevant conduct as "appellant's conscientious objection to Saturday work").
A corporation can engage in this kind of "exercise of religion" if a corporation can refuse, for religious reasons, to do something otherwise required by law. And it plainly can. Suppose a federal law requiring fast-food restaurants located near interstate highways to be open seven days a week. Chick-fil-A's religion-based refusal to operate on Sundays in violation of this law would surely be an "exercise of religion" akin to Ms. Sherbert's refusal to work on Saturdays.
The profit-making character of the corporation does not change the analysis of whether the corporation can make a religion-based decision. Chick-fil-A is a profit-making business. Yet it foregoes the profits it would otherwise make through Sunday operation because its religion-based corporate policy controls the manner in which it seeks to make a profit. Similarly, Ms. Sherbert was working for money (and later seeking unemployment benefits). Yet her religious obligation not to work on Saturday conditioned the manner in which she could go about earning money.
The panel majority opinion simply does not address this line of argument. One way in which its failure to address RFRA independently may have contributed to this failure to analyze what counts as a protected "exercise of religion" emerges from a word search for that phrase. It does not appear until page 28, after the majority has already concluded its Free Exercise analysis. In the course of its Free Exercise analysis, the Third Circuit panel majority does not ask whether a corporation can engage in the "exercise of religion" (RFRA's words), but rather whether corporations can "engage in religious exercise" [11] or whether corporations can "exercise religion" [15]. The wording shift is subtle and almost certainly unintentional, but it nevertheless tends to lead analysis in the wrong direction. For the panel majority's rephrasing suggests asking whether a corporation can engage in religious exercises like prayer, worship, participation in sacraments, and so on. But that is not what the governing law requires.
One might try to distinguish the exercise of religion in Sherbert on the ground that the underlying basis of the refusal to work on Saturday was so that Ms. Sherbert could engage in the religious exercise of attending worship services. The problem with this distinction is that it is sufficient for the religion-based refusal to be sincere and religion-based. It does not need to be tied to some other "religious exercise." Consider Thomas v. Review Board, 450 U.S. 707 (1981). The exercise of religion in that case was Mr. Thomas's refusal to participate in the production of turrets for military tanks. This refusal was based on Mr. Thomas's beliefs as a Jehovah's Witness. It did not matter that this religion-based refusal conditioned Mr. Thomas's pursuit of money. The Supreme Court found it sufficient that "Thomas terminated his employment for religious reasons." Similarly, the Third Circuit should have found it sufficient that Conestoga objects to compliance with the mandate for religious reasons. That religion-based objection is an "exercise of religion" within the compass of both RFRA and the Free Exercise Clause.

Encyclopedia Virginia's mission is to provide a free, reliable, multimedia resource that tells the inclusive story of Virginia for students, teachers, and communities who seek to understand how the past informs the present and the future.
Encyclopedia Virginia (EV) is an authoritative and user-friendly resource on the history and culture of Virginia. A project of Virginia Humanities in partnership with the Library of Virginia, EV publishes topical and biographical entries written by scholars, edited to be accessible to a general audience, and vigorously fact checked. Entries are accompanied by primary documents and media objects, including images, audio and visual clips, and links to Google Street View tours of historic sites. Content creation is a work in progress, with new entries published regularly.
Encyclopedia Virginia anthologizes the best and most current scholarship that exists on a given topic. In particular, our sections on Virginia Indians and the African American experience in Virginia are of a depth and breadth that is unavailable elsewhere on the web. Many of our media objects are also unavailable elsewhere and are published courtesy of partnerships with museums and cultural institutions in Virginia, the United States, and Great Britain.
The presentation of Encyclopedia Virginia, meanwhile, takes advantage of the web's most innovative tools. Our faceted search can filter content by resource type, time period, and subject, allowing users to quickly find the information they need. And because of the rich metadata associated with each entry, users can access that information in a number of ways, including on maps, in static and interactive time lines, and for our "This Day in Virginia" feature. In the future, users will be able to isolate content based on the relationships between entry subjects (i.e., family members, colleagues, ideological allies, etc.), and mobile users will be able to read EV entries appropriate to the very geographical spot on which they stand.
In 2001, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded Virginia Humanities a planning grant to study the feasibility of creating a comprehensive online resource focused on the history and culture of Virginia. After years of consulting with similar ventures, fund-raising, and infrastructure- and partnership-building, EV published its first entries late in 2008. In 2012, the project partnered with the Library of Virginia to become the digital publisher of the Library's ongoing, multivolume Dictionary of Virginia Biography, one of the most authoritative resources on Virginia history ever published.
That same year EV collaborated with the Virginia Indian Heritage Program at Virginia Humanities to create the Virginia Indian Archive. The online project serves as a repository for images, documents, and audiovisual resources representing the history and cultural experiences of Virginia Indians since the colonial period.
Encyclopedia Virginia has benefited from generous support from the General Assembly and private and corporate foundations such as Dominion Resources. In addition, EV has received several competitive grants from the NEH.
Encyclopedia Virginia (EV)'s editorial process is designed to ensure accurate, up-to-date scholarship. Each entry undergoes a series of review stages, outlined below.
First, content is created in thematic sections (i.e., Civil War, colonial Virginia, literature). In this way, entries are created with an eye toward their larger historical context and EV, as the sum of its many thousands of parts, remains a coherent resource.
Once a section of content has been identified, EV engages one or more scholars to serve as section editors. They help to create a list of topics and suggest contributors, most of whom are other scholars who have published widely in the field. After an entry has been submitted, EV editors work with the contributor on any necessary developmental editing, consulting primary and secondary sources as appropriate and making an initial check of facts and interpretations. A draft is then sent to the section editors for review. Entries deemed to be particularly complex or potentially controversial are sent to multiple scholars for review.
When the section editors and contributor are satisfied with the result, the entry is reviewed separately by our freelance fact checkers and copy editors.
Parallel to this process, a primary resource specialist identifies and transcribes related documents and the media editor compiles media objects, all of which are reviewed by EV editors before being attached to entries.
After fact checking and copy editing, EV editors make any suggested changes, again in consultation with the contributor and, when necessary, section editors. Only then is the entry ready for publication.
Even after publication, the life cycle of an entry continues. As scholarship presses forward, EV must keep pace. Individual entries and sometimes whole sections are periodically revisited and revised. Entries may be tweaked for style or factual errors, or they may be entirely rewritten based on new information or interpretive trends.

Bullying in schools - The educator's role
Afknouery in skole - Die opvoeder se rol

Worldwide there is a problem with violent incidents occurring amongst learners in schools. Bullying is one mode of violence that often occurs at school level. Bullying means repeatedly attacking a person psychologically, physically and/or emotionally in order to inflict harm. Bullying behaviour cannot be ignored, because the victims often report physical and mental health problems caused by the abuse they suffered. The future of the bully is also at stake, because such a person can turn into an abuser in his or her adult years. This research focused on the challenges for teachers in the school system to handle bullying behaviour. The specific aims of the study were to research the role of school policies and ethos, as well as the teacher's role, in dealing with bullying. The researchers investigated the problem by using social identity theory as theoretical framework and Christianity as worldview. The researchers mainly used a qualitative research design. Data for this study were collected by means of a literature study and questionnaires with closed questions as well as open-ended questions about teachers' experiences regarding bullying. The main emphasis was on the feedback on the open-ended questions. It became clear from the research that schools should adopt an anti-bullying policy. Teachers should give more attention to classroom rules and they should become skilled in dealing with bullying. Recommendations were made concerning the role of teachers as well as the place of school ethos and policies when the above-mentioned behavioural problem needs to be managed.
Wêreldwyd is daar 'n probleem met insidente van geweld wat tussen leerders in skole plaasvind. Afknouery is een wyse van gewelduitoefening wat op skoolvlak plaasvind. Afknouery beteken om 'n persoon herhaaldelik sielkundig, fisies en/of emosioneel skade aan te doen. Afknougedrag kan nie geïgnoreer word nie, omdat die slagoffers dikwels fisiese- en geestesgesondheidsprobleme kry as gevolg van die mishandeling. Die toekoms van die afknouer is ook ter sprake, aangesien so 'n persoon kan ontwikkel in 'n mishandelaar in sy of haar volwasse jare. Die navorsing wat gedoen is, het gefokus op die uitdagings vir onderwysers in die skoolsisteem om afknouery te hanteer. Die spesifieke doelwitte van die studie was om navorsing te doen oor skoolbeleid en etos, sowel as die rol van onderwysers in die hantering van afknouery. Die navorsers het die probleem vanuit 'n sosiale identiteitsteorie as teoretiese raamwerk benader, asook vanuit 'n Christelike werklikheidsbeskouing. Die navorsers het hoofsaaklik 'n kwalitatiewe navorsingsmetode gebruik. Data vir hierdie studie is ingesamel deur middel van 'n literatuurstudie en vraelyste met geslote vrae en oop einde-vrae oor die onderwysers se ervarings rakende afknouery. Die klem het geval op die response op die oopeinde vrae. Dit het duidelik uit die navorsing na vore gekom dat skole 'n teen-afknouerybeleid in plek behoort te stel. Onderwysers moet meer aandag skenk aan klaskamerreëls en hulle behoort vaardighede te ontwikkel om afknouery te hanteer. Aanbevelings is gemaak oor die rol van onderwysers asook oor die hulp van skooletos en beleide om genoemde gedragsprobleme te hanteer.

What you are about to download is the core of all the Linux operating systems in the world
Linux kernel is the essential part of any Linux operating system. It is responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, simple communications, basic file system management, and more. Written from scratch by Linus Torvalds (with help from various developers), Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system. It is geared towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliances.
Includes powerful features
Linux provides users with powerful features, such as true multitasking, multistack networking, shared copy-on-write executables, shared libraries, demand loading, virtual memory, and proper memory management.
Initially designed only for 386/486-based computers, now Linux supports a wide range of architectures, including 64-bit (IA64, AMD64), ARM, ARM64, DEC Alpha, MIPS, SUN Sparc, PowerPC, as well as Amiga and Atari machines.
The most essential component of a Linux-based OS
The most essential component of a Linux-based operating system is the Linux kernel. Without it, the entire system (libraries, applications, etc.) is useless. When creating a Linux distribution, it is also very important to know how to correctly optimize the Linux kernel package, in order to make it support certain hardware components or recognize a specific device.
Distributed in multiple stable branches
Once should not be confused by the many stable branches of the Linux kernel, as they are available for different purposes. For example, there are several LTS (Long Term Support) branches that can be used to deploy very stable Linux operating systems.
These days, major Linux distribution developers provide users with optimized kernel packages for different purposes. However, advanced users can configure, compile and install their own kernels directly from the source packages at any point (all you need is a supported GCC compiler).
The heart of a Linux distribution
The Linux kernel is the heart of a Linux distribution. If you are a long time Linux user, you may have stumbled across upgrades to the default Linux kernel packages, which lead to better support for certain hardware components or peripherals.

Big Ray and the Kool Kats serenaded some serious dancers Saturday, September 14, at "Celebrate Me Home," a weekend fundraiser to benefit Habitat for Humanity. The group builds livable homes for low-income families.
Skirts swirled and ties flew as couples competed for first prize in a dance contest. Other dancers, no less enthusiastic, shared the dance floor with the contestants, shaking and shimmying to the jazzy swing of Big Ray.
The evening was a winner, with every seat in the Omni Hotel's grand ballroom taken– a good time for a good cause. We were sorry when the clock struck midnight, and we had to zoom home in our pumpkins.

No-Yeast Pizza Crust with Pesto and a Farmers Market On Top.
I love when my Mom comes to town. Of course, I enjoy her company and the warm, nurturing energy that only Mama can radiate. I just also happen to really enjoy the fact that her wallet tends to radiate monetary energy in my general direction :) Hey now...don't judge!
A) A Jew.
B) A Jew that doesn't want mom to buy her clothing, but rather fresh produce and a toaster oven. And it had been my birthday earlier in the week.
So there.
I thought it would be a lovely way to start the day by going to the Santa Monica Sunday Farmers Market, and my mother spoiled my ass rotten with a bevy of fresh herbs and veggies.
I immediately set to work that afternoon creating some home-made garlic pesto sauce so that she could experience my budding culinary skills.
Unfortunately, I made too much pesto sauce.
Fortunately, I found a great use for it!
I wanted to make some home-made pizza, but I didn't have yeast and didn't want to go to the store. I poked around on the interweb for a yeast-free crust recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. I decided to just get crafty and invent my own. And it's actually delicious! I put the crust in the oven to bake up a bit before topping, and it actually had started to rise.
So here it is, fellow Veg Heads...
No-Yeast Pizza Crust with Pesto And A Farmers Market On Top
Crust: Makes One 12 in. Pizza
- 2 Cups plus 1/8 cup Unbleached White Flour
- 1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 5/6 Cup High Fat Soy Milk (that's 1/2+1/3 cup milk, and about 4g fat per serving)
- 1/4 Cup Cold Water
- 2 TBL Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 1/4 tsp. Sugar
Place the dough ball in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Take your pizza pan, and oil it lightly. Spread out the pizza dough to the edge of the pan, making sure that it's even in thickness. You'll notice that no-yeast dough may tear a little easier, but it's easy to patch together. Once spread out, brush with olive oil, and poke holes all over it with a fork.
Place the dough in the oven for four minutes, then remove. Add toppings, bake another 10-12 minutes and then feast!

Cestodes (tapeworms) form a monophyletic group of parasitic Platyhelminthes (flatworms), and include over 5200 described species.
Adult cestodes reproduce in the digestive tract of vertebrates, but for an egg to become and egg-producing worm, they need to infect a variety of intermediate hosts, and pass though specific developmental stages.
So far, there is no single compilation of cestode life cycles. This database aims to collect and organise the available information through an extensive search of scientific literature and Museum collections, thus providing tools for parasitologists, ecologist and systematists.

In a rare display of emotion, Santa Cruz Police Chief Kevin Vogel teared up on Wednesday, less than a day after two of his officers were killed in the line of duty - the first such occurrence in city history.
He described the awful predicament of being an agency in mourning, and one investigating just how and why Jeremy Goulet, 35, would have killed two officers who showed up at his North Branciforte Avenue home on Tuesday about 3:30 p.m. on his doorstep. The officers killed were: Sgt. Loran "Butch" Baker, who had been with the department 28 years, and Det. Elizabeth Butler, who had been with the department for ten.
"We have never experienced this before," Vogel said. "There's absolutely no words for me to adequately stand here before you and describe what my department's been going through since yesterday afternoon."
Baker had a "tenacious appetite to find the truth," Vogel said, adding that he was once Baker's partner.
"He was my most skilled investigator, Vogel added. "I consider Butch not only to be my coworker but he was also my mentor, and my friend," Vogel said.
He said Baker acted as a mentor to young officers throughout his career, and that many of those people had surpassed him in rank.
Baker, a 1979 graduate of Bellarmine Preparatory School in San Jose, leaves behind a wife, Kelly, two daughters, Gillian and Ashley, and a son, Adam, who was a community service officer for the police department.
The Santa Cruz Sentinel reported that Baker worked at UC Santa Cruz with Executive Vice Chancellor Alison Galloway, a noted forensic anthropologist, on several notable cases including the still-unsolved case of Pogonip Jane, a woman whose remains were found in Santa Cruz's largest greenbelt in 1994.
Butler was a Los Angeles native and graduated from Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance in 1992. She then attended UC Santa Cruz and earned a degree in community studies and ended up staying in the beach side city, where she lived with her partner, Peter, and two young boys ages 5 and 1.
U.S. & World
She wrote her senior thesis on her experiences working with young Latinos, according to UC Santa Cruz's website. She attended the Evergreen Police Academy in San Jose in 2003 before joining the Santa Cruz police.
Vogel said she had developed a niche in the area of sexual assault, and was very experienced investigating those cases. "That's the type of case that she was investigating yesterday when this tragedy happened," he said.
Before that, she had worked as a patrol officer, hostage negotiator, and an agent assigned to the Santa Cruz County drug task force.
The two had no reason to believe that Goulet would have been so distraught and homicidal when they approached his house after a former coffee shop employee alleged that he had sexually assaulted her, according to Santa Cruz County Sheriff Phil Wowak.
"They had done this thousands of times," he said at a news conference on Wednesday. "They were just doing their jobs."
None of the 94 sworn Santa Cruz police officers were at work on Wednesday; the city gave them time to grieve. "We've asked them to take the time they need to repair their agency and develop the internal strength to come back and continue to serve you as they have the past 150 years," Sheriff Wowak said.
Sheriff's deputies and the California Highway Patrol were protecting the city. The officers are expected to return to work on Thursday.

We're not saying that Whitecaps defender Jay DeMerit broke training Sunday night, but, well, if he's a little bleary-eyed on the pitch this morning, maybe Vancouver brass can simply look the other way.
DeMerit's beloved Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl XLV on Sunday, capping off an epic "Tweet-down" between the Whitecaps defender and Chivas USA midfielder Ben Zemanski, a staunch Steelers fan.
While those two flashed wit and wisdom all week, the league racked up news at an Usain Bolt–like clip. Preseason matches kicked off—including first action for expansion sides Vancouver and Portland— and there was an announcement about the 2011 All-Star Game. Then one of the league's most successful franchises broke ground on a richly deserved soccer-specific stadium.
We also got a solid date for David Beckham's return to the LA Galaxy, and—topping it all—news of a US international striker joining an MLS side for a weeklong trial in hopes of reviving his career.
Let's roll out the barrel on Week 11.
[inline_node:327542]Games On
Remember Víctor Estupiñán's vow to score 30 goals in his debut season with Chivas USA? The 22-year-old Ecuadorian striker got right to work this past Tuesday, heading home a goal in the Goats' first preseason scrimmage, a 2-0 win over Premier Development League (PDL) team Fresno Fuego.
Expansion side Vancouver made an even more impressive start in their first MLS action, dropping the 2009 MLS champs Real Salt Lake 2-1 on goals by 18-year-old Russell Teibert and former Manchester City product Terry Dunfield—both of whom are Canadians, appropriately enough. The Whitecaps were back in action on Friday, falling to Cascadia rivals Seattle Sounders FC 1-0 on a goal by Brad Evans.
The Portland Timbers also entered the fray, drawing PDL side Ventura County Fusion 1-1 on Friday. That result may not look impressive, but Timbers fans had to be pumped to see the goal come from No. 2 SuperDraft pick Darlington Nagbe, on an assist from Jorge Perlaza, a speed-burning forward from Colombia currently trialing with Portland. The prospect of those two joining forces with Kenny Cooper in the Timbers' attack has to whet Portland fans' already huge appetite for the 2011 season.
In other preseason games, Toronto tied Partizan Belgrade 1-1 and then defeated Red Star Belgrade 1-0 in Turkey; Sporting Kansas City tied Columbus 2-2; and the Dynamo blanked Houston Baptist University 2-0.
[inline_node:327776]Donning the Orange Hard Hats
While the Dynamo produced a modest victory on the field, they scored a massive triumph off of it with Saturday's official groundbreaking ceremony for Dynamo Stadium, a state-of-the-art, 22,000-seat venue scheduled to open in April 2012.
The stadium design looks terrific and appears to be a seamless fit with its downtown Houston neighborhood, where it will join the Astros' Minute Maid Park and the Rockets' Toyota Center—and become "the only urban soccer experience in Major League Soccer," according to the Dynamo website.
The stadium—which will not cost Houston taxpayers a penny—will feature 34 luxury suites just 10 rows from the field, a 1,000-seat VIP club lounge and three canopies to provide cover for fans and atmosphere for games by capturing noise.
In other stadium news, Red Bull Arena was announced this past week as the site of the 2011 All-Star Game, scheduled for July 27. New York last hosted the midseason showcase in 1997. The MLS All-Stars' opponent for the game will be revealed within the next 30 days.
[inline_node:327737]CD in DC
One player who would like nothing more than to be on the field for that game is US international Charlie Davies, who made the news of the week by returning Stateside for a one-week trial with D.C. United.
The Sochaux forward is trying to rejuvenate his career after an October 2009 car crash—in the D.C. suburb of Arlington, Va.—that nearly took his life and did claim that of the vehicle's driver, Ashley J. Roberta.
There is a 12-month loan deal already in place for him at United, provided he passes muster with DC's medical and soccer staffs.
LISTEN: Olsen, Davies address media in Friday's teleconference
Davies played all 60 minutes of an intrasquad scrimmage on Friday, helping to create an early goal by pressuring keeper Steve Cronin into a poor clearance. After the session, DC coach Ben Olsen was understandably guarded, telling the assembled media, "We need to see more. This was a good first day, but we will continue to look at [Davies] over the next week."
United has two friendlies scheduled Monday, against Canada's U-20 team and Florida International University.
[inline_node:327547]A Galaxy Not So Far Away?
David Beckham will make a Stateside return of his own this week after word came from Tottenham's training ground last Thursday that the marquee midfielder would join the LA Galaxy's preseason training on Feb 9.
When he gets back to Los Angeles, Beckham will find a new forward to swing in his trademark crosses to and an old teammate who is feeling pretty good about the Galaxy's prospects for 2011.
The Galaxy's prize offseason catch, striker Juan Pablo Angel, said hello to local media last Tuesday, telling them his goal was to bring an MLS Cup to the Home Depot Center. That's something Ángel's new teammate, Landon Donovan, believes is well within reach.
"We have the best balance that I've ever seen … maybe in any team I've seen in MLS," the 28-year-old attacker announced last week. "This team is going to be more competitive than last year's, [and] we're going to be deeper than last year."
[inline_node:327492]Walking the Walk
Those were strong words from Donovan, but not as strong as the Twitter verbiage flying back and forth between DeMerit and Zemanski last week.
They expanded their war of words wide enough to rope in DeMerit's World Cup teammates Jozy Altidore and Herculez Gomez, along with 1980s wrestling star "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and references to Lil Wayne and The Office.
SEE: The DeMerit vs. Zemanski Tweet-down
But it all ended peacefully after DeMerit's Packers won 31-25 (note: Portland Timbers midfielder Ryan Pore predicted Green Bay, 31-27).
Zemanski offered a classy "congrats to you and your pack," and DeMerit responded with "hard-fought week for the tweet-down! … till next season."
DeMerit also re-tweeted the following from Chicago Fire winger Calen Carr: "Brett Favre just threw his remote at the TV. It was intercepted."

Politics has been going to the dogs for a long time; now it is really going to the dogs. Literally.
The latest example of canine politics, ably chronicled by Prop Zero contributor Kevin Riggs with an accompanying photo gallery, was the statewide campaign tour by Sutter Brown, California's First Dog, to promote a "pet lovers" license plate.
There's no doubt that the frisky corgi goes a long way in humanizing a sometimes cool and aloof Governor Jerry Brown. In today's "dog-eat-dog" political environment, the Sutter-Jerry "bromance" stands out.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Dogs have long been used to help humanize politicians. During the 1944 Presidential campaign, Republicans spread the rumor that FDR's Scottie, Fala, had accidentally been left in the Aleutian Islands on a presidential visit — and that FDR ordered a Navy destroyer to retrieve the dog at taxpayers' expense.
The President responded indignantly in a national radio address, which immortalized the relationship between the President and his"little dog, Fala" and drove Roosevelt's GOP opponent nuts!
"I am accustomed to hearing malicious falsehoods about myself," FDR protested. "But I think I have a right to resent, to object, to libelous statements about my dog!"
In 1952, Vice-Presidential candidate Richard Nixon used the family's cocker spaniel, Checkers, to blunt charges that Nixon had misused a fund established by supporters to reimburse him for political expenses.
Relating how someone had sent the dog as a gift for his daughters, Nixon looked determinedly into the TV camera and vowed, "I just want to say this right now, that regardless of what they say about it, we're gonna keep it."
The now famous "Checkers speech" resulted in an outpouring of public support for the embattled Nixon.
Bill Clinton's chocolate lab, "Buddy," was embraced by the beleaguered President during his scandal-ridden White House years.
Presidential press secretary Mike McCurry joked that Clinton got the dog because "it's the president's desire to have one loyal friend in Washington."
Sometimes things don't go so well for politicians and their pets. President Johnson was often seen with his beagles, Him and Her. But when the camera caught LBJ pulling Him up by his ears, it didn't look warm and fuzzy.
Then this vitriolic Presidential campaign gave us Shamus-gate and the uproar over Mitt Romney's strapping his Irish setter on top of the family's station wagon.
The "Dog Wars" began, with the Romney campaign excoriating President Obama for eating dog meat as a child; that sparked all kinds of internet chatter and sent faux dog meat recipes exploding over Twitter.
"Eggs rover easy," anyone?
Today's political pups help their people look tech savvy—a must for the modern pol. Pres. George W. Bush's Scottish terrier, Barney, "produced" his own films for his White House home page.
Bo, the Portuguese waterdog given to the Obama girls by the late Senator Ted Kennedy, is an internet hit as a fundraiser for "Pet Lovers for Obama.". And he has his own photo gallery on the White House web site.
Sutter has a Twitter account and @Sutter Brown has merchandise for sale on-line. (Proceeds go to the state's General Fund to help close our budget deficit!)
As Governor Brown tries to negotiate difficult budget cuts with legislative Democrats who resist having their constituents harmed and Republicans who won't cooperate at all, he's smart to rely on Sutter's "bipawtisanship" to help him reach out.
Perhaps California's First Dog will prove, once again, President Truman's adage: "If you want a friend in Washington [and Sacramento, too], get a dog."

Amateur Photographer is not big on reporting rumors, but today they did just that: the Sony α700 replacement is rumored to have a new APS-C sensor with high ISO "up into the hundreds of thousands" and resolution of 25MP. The potential release is expected to be around September at PMA 2011 (now called CliQ 2011).
This upcoming sensor from Sony could be the base for the D300s replacement (D400?), unless Nikon really is designing and producing their own sensors now. Since the replacement of the α700 will be a direct competitor of the D300s successor, it will be interesting to see who will make the announcement first (my guess is Sony).
There are even some early rumors floating around that the D400 could go back to the PRO body design of the Nikon D2xs (pictured below) - that would be a way of "upping" the D7000 which currently has better specs than the PRO D300s model.
If Nikon really goes with a new full-body style for the D400, this will also ensure Sony that they will not have a direct competitor for their α700 replacement.

President Obama is interrupted by an anti-abortion protester as he speaks at a campaign event at Fifth Third Arena at the University of Cincinnati, Nov. 4.
CINCINNATI, OHIO -- As President Obama tried to maximize the precious few stops he has left in crucial Ohio, his rally here Sunday night was full of musical interludes, but not without a few interruptions.
Taking the stage at the University of Cincinnati shortly after R+B superstar Stevie Wonder warmed up the crowd, the president was sidetracked by a lone protestor up in the rafters, who held a sign and yelled, his words loud but hard to make out.
"I guess y'all are still fired up," Obama said as the crowd began a counter-chant of "four more years!" attempting to drown the heckler out.
At first the president tried to soldier through and deliver his remarks over the protestor, but he finally gave in as the crowd cheered on state troopers who pried the man away from the balcony bars he had grabbed onto.

President Barack Obama reaches over to greet supporters before speaking at in Cincinnati.
But it wasn't over yet – there was still one more protestor who had to be removed from the arena.
"It's okay folks. Everybody, it's okay. We're good," Obama said before once again giving up until the cheering and shouting subsided.
Despite the dissonance at the beginning of his remarks, the rest of the president's event was much more harmonious, given that Wonder played the president offstage to "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" – an Obama campaign favorite.
As the band struck up the first recognizable chords of the song, most of the 13,500 audience members started to dance and clap along.
Not even the president could resist – he was seen shuffling back and forth, modestly clapping to the beat.
After his event in Cincinnati, the president headed to Aurora, Colorado, where he would be joined by singer/songwriter Dave Matthews.

Microsoft is publicly touting its Windows 8 sales figures – 40 million licenses sold! Windows 8 outpacing Windows 7 upgrades! Windows Store apps double since launch! – but it isn't all sunshine and smiles in Redmond.
Microsoft is said to be unhappy with the rate of Windows 8 adoption since its Oct. 26 launch. Windows 8 device sales have not met Redmond's internal projections, and the company is blaming it on lackluster hardware from OEMs. Microsoft is citing PC makers' "inability to deliver," according to SuperSite for Windows, which would underscore its push into the hardware space with the Surface tablets.
No one in Redmond is complaining publicly, of course, and the company is offering the same bland comment it's been repeating since the Windows 8 launch. "Microsoft has worked deeply with our OEM partners on the design and capabilities of new Windows 8 PCs and are excited to bring these PCs to market together," a company spokeswoman said. The company did not provide Wired with device sales figures or forecasts.
And what do the OEMs making all those PCs have to say about it? Don't blame us.
The general consensus among companies Wired spoke to is Windows 8 device sales are meeting, or almost meeting, projected sales. That's not to say Windows 8 is selling superbly. On the contrary, one OEM said it had lower expectations for Windown 8 than previous launches simply because the field is so much more crowded. There are many more services and platforms, an underdeveloped supply chain for touch components and slow consumer education stemming to scattered branding and PR.
"We had a little bit different expectations for Windows 8 than previous OS launches," Jeff Barney, VP and general manager of Toshiba America's PC and TV business, said. "In the past Windows was the only game in town, when it was Windows 7 or Vista it was the big event of the year. These days it's a different environment."
Windows 8 device sales are "going as predicted," he said. "It sounds like they were a little more optimistic," Barney said of Microsoft.
It's the same story at Sony, where VAIO product manager Dave McFarland said the company has seen comparatively slow Windows 8 device sales, but that Sony is about where it expected to be prior to the launch – although he wouldn't share specific numbers.
"The expectations of what we forecasted for – I don't want to say we're right on track – we're probably close to being on track to where we predicted," he said. "If I had to compare Windows Vista to Windows 7 versus Windows 7 to Windows 8, our sales numbers aren't as high as from the Vista to Windows 7 era."
McFarland said he thinks this might be because Windows Vista was a wash, so people were more willing to make the switch to Windows 7. Consumers could be happy enough with Windows 7 that they don't want to upgrade. He also noted launching the OS in October, when people might be tighter with money ahead of the holidays, may have played a role. Whatever the case, Sony isn't worried.
"I'm not saying it's all gloom," McFarland said. "The outlook looks pretty good for us."
Barney and McFarland expect Windows 8 momentum to continue growing in 2013, though neither would offer any sales forecasts. Sony and Toshiba say they are committed to the platform and that consumers should expect more polished, touch-focused Windows 8 devices.
"To be frank, the OEM community will bring better form factors to market," Barney said. "This first generation is a rush to get there in the beginning. They are not as commercially viable as they are media viable. Over time you will see a lot more commercially viable products that take advantage of Windows 8."
Neil Hand, Dell's VP of global end user computing, says the transition to Windows 8 has gone as expected in both the consumer and commercial spaces. One area where Dell has seen stronger than expected demand is in touch devices, especially with its convertible XPS 12.
"The support and messaging from Microsoft around it is extremely strong," he said. "Any big transition like this takes more than few weeks to take hold."
(Lenovo and Samsung declined to comment for this story. HP did not reply to requests for comment.)
Barney doesn't agree and thinks the branding and marketing around Windows 8 could use improvement.
"We've learned some lessons over the launch," he said. "Everyone is in a big hurry to be first and loud and be seen. It's not always conducive to your company to blast the same message that others are blasting because you want to stand apart."
As Windows 8 moves out of its launch phase, Barney says OEMs and Microsoft must join together behind a cohesive message. "The message needs to become more focused on touch and touch as a key feature," he said. McFarland went further, noting that consumer education is important. Although Microsoft "has worked very, very well with us," both sides could do more to tell consumers why they need Windows 8. Touch, for example, will be extremely important for Sony.
Touch-focused messaging, however, could be a problem because there aren't a lot of affordable Windows 8 touch devices. NPD Group analyst Stephen Baker says OEMs and Microsoft must consider the wisdom of aggressively touting the value of Windows 8 features for which there are few if any products or, worse, products they can't afford.
That said, Baker says the blame for slow Windows 8 device sales does not rest solely with OEMs. An NPD report released Thursday found Windows device sales have fallen 21 percent compared to the same period last year. Windows 8 sales account for 58 percent of device sales compared to the 83 percent Windows 7 device sales made up in the same launch period. Everyone – OEMs, Microsoft, retail channels and the supply chain – is responsible for that, he said.
"I don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong or broken with Windows 8," he said. "There's something wrong and fundamentally broken with the computing device market. The problem for retailers and OEMs is that many of them are concentrated in the traditional PC market and that isn't a growth part of the computing device market... The supply chain still isn't set up to provide what the value proposition Windows 8 brings to the market."
Toshiba, Dell and Sony agree that slow initial sales are due to a number of factors beyond the quality of their devices.
"Both parties need to work together," McFarland says. "It's one without the other, you don't have the hardware, the software can't be there, and vice versa. Both groups shouldn't be blaming each other, both groups should be closer. If it's not doing well, we should figure out how we can all better figure this out and see why."

Bill Sharman, an eight-time All-Star who led the Lakers to their first NBA championship in Los Angeles, died Friday morning at his Southern California home.
Sharman "passed away peacefully" at his home in Redondo Beach, according to a statement from the team.
"Today is a sad day for anyone who loves and cares about the Lakers," said Lakers President Jeanie Buss. "As our head coach, Bill led us to our first championship in Los Angeles, and he was an important contributor to the 10 championship teams that followed."
Sharman remained a member of the Lakers organization for four decades, serving as head coach, general manager and president and special consultant. He joined the organization as head coach for the 1971-72 season and led the team to its first title in LA after relocating from Minneapolis.
The team won 69 games that season -- a then-NBA record that still stands as the Lakers single-season win record. The team's stunning run included a record 33-game win streak.
"His importance to Dr. Buss and our family, and for the last 42 years to the Lakers organization, cannot be measured in words," Jeannie Buss said. "His knowledge and passion for the game were unsurpassed, and the Lakers and our fans were beneficiaries of that. Despite his greatness as a player, coach and executive, Bill was one of the sweetest, nicest and most humble people I've ever known. He was truly one of a kind."
Sharman's success as an NBA player -- he was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1976 -- came as a member of the rival Boston Celtics, but his roots were firmly planted in California. He was born in Abilene, Texas, but grew up in Lomita and attended Narbonne High School in Harbor City before attending the University of Southern California, where he excelled at basketball and baseball.
A pure shooter, one of his era's best, Sharman led the league in freethrow percentage for a record seven seasons during his 11-year professional career. Teaming with Bob Cousy in the backcourt, Sharman won four titles with the Celtics.
He retired in 1961 as a player and went to win titles in three professional basketball leagues -- the American Basketball League, American Basketball Association and the NBA. The 1972 title run record of 69-13 stood as the league's best until the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls went 72-10.

Book Description
IN THIS remarkable book, a great master and a great teacher have collaborated to produce what is probably the clearest and simplest guide to the game ever written. Containing more than 300 diagrams, Learn Chess Fast! Has been specially designed and streamlined to impart a knowledge of chess in an entertaining and effortless manner. This book is attractively produced to introduce many thousands of Americans to the delight of the Royal Game.
About the Author(s)
Sammy Reshevsky was born on November 26, 1911. Most chess players reach their peak at age 30. It was Reshevsky's misfortune that he reached his peak during the World War II years. He played in the World Championship tournament in 1948 and in the Candidates Tournament in Zurich 1953. In both events there were rumors and reports of collusion by the Soviets to prevent Reshevsky from winning the world championship which he probably would have won in a fair contest. Fischer is quoted as saying that Reshevsky was the strongest player in the world and would have easily defeated World Champion Botvinnik in a match at that time. However, Reshevsky never got the chance. There is no doubt at all that Reshevsky was the strongest USA player. He won the US championship seven times, in 1936, 1938, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1946 and 1969.
Although Fred Reinfeld is now remembered as a writer about chess and other subjects, he was also a strong player. In the 1950 USCF Rating List he was rated number 6 in the United States with a rating of 2593. He defeated Reshevsky twice and Fine once in tournament games and drew World Champion Alekhine in the grandmaster tournament in Pasadena 1932, the strongest tournament ever played in the Western United States. Reinfeld wrote more than one hundred chess books. In his day, almost all young chess players started off on his books.

Product #: 55051
Scientific Name: Callinectes sapidus
Country of Origin: United States$30.23 /LB (minimum: 1 LB)
The Atlantic blue crab is a member of the Portunidae swimming crab family. Its Latin name, Callinectes sapidus, translates to "savory, beautiful swimmer". Blue crabs are named for the bright blue coloring on their legs and the blue tinges to their mostly brown shells. While the legs of males are solely blue, the legs of females have orange tips. Blue crab meat is white, tender and flaky with a rich, sweet and buttery flavor. The claw meat is a bit nutty and has a natural brown tint.
The Atlantic blue crab is native to the western Atlantic Ocean from Nova Scotia to Argentina. The major U.S. producers of blue crab are Louisiana, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina.
Overall, the health of the U.S. blue crab population is fairly good and improving. The Chesapeake Bay is one of the major production areas and has experienced a drastic resurgence of the crab population in the last few years. Some other U.S. populations are at low levels of abundance, but not just due to fishing. Blue crab are highly dependent upon coastal ecosystems, thus loss of habitat and poor water quality hinder their population growth a great deal. Fortunately, crabs are naturally resilient to fishing pressure because they reproduce at a young age and have huge numbers of offspring. Management regulations are in place to control harvest, protect breeding stocks and monitor landings, but there could be better regulations for bycatch reduction, especially for the depleted diamondback terrapin (a brackish water turtle that gets caught in pots and drowns). Most crabs are caught with pots or traps, which have little impact on the environment.
Brilliant orange eggs from the female blue crab.

Summary and Keywords
Social scientists and media critics have often been befuddled about how and why news coverage of important issues takes the shapes that it does. While some issues seem to behave according to well-established patterns, others don't. The issue of climate change is one that has been explained in numerous ways, often from a cyclical perspective. This perspective suggests that news attention naturally varies up and down, often cued by certain focusing events that draw attention for a time, after which attention wanes again. These observations are usually matched with the perspective that attention should normatively not be cyclical, that the issue is one that deserves continuous attention until it is resolved.
All of this is in the context that there are significant doubts about the objective role of newsmakers in this process. Climate change is an issue that has cut across a period of news evolution in which objectively neutral news has become even less prominent than it once was, if it ever was. News outlets with specific ideological agendas, a plethora of bloggers and websites with an axe to grind, and a variety of conspiracy theories about climate have obscured how news can even hope to cover this issue. With "belief" in climate change now becoming an important token of how one identifies oneself politically, we can wonder whether the issue can ever receive a fair hearing from a scientific perspective.
