The Woods Hole Community Association will hold a forum on the future of Nobska Lighthouse on Saturday, March 1, at 11 AM in the Woods Hole Community Hall.
Nobska Lighthouse's current owner, the United States Coast Guard, no longer wishes to own the property, which includes the lighthouse tower and a detached dwelling in need of repair.
The Coast Guard took initial steps toward divestiture of the property this past September.
"I don't see Falmouth passing up this opportunity and letting it fall into private hands," said Woods Hole Community Association co-president Catherine O. Bumpus.
The Coast Guard is required to offer the lighthouse free of charge to government agencies, nonprofits, or local community groups before soliciting a private buyer.
"It doesn't seem like the Coast Guard is moving fast on this," Ms. Bumpus said. There should be "plenty of time" for local groups to consider taking on the property, she said.
Ms. Bumpus has invited more than a dozen local groups to the forum, including the Falmouth Historical Society, The 300 Committee, Historic Highfield, and the Woods Hole Foundation.
The forum agenda includes a discussion of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act's timetable and application process, how that process has played out in other communities, and what the best use of the Nobska property would be.
"This is an opportunity for organizations to get together and think about what we want to do with Nobska," Ms. Bumpus said. The public is also invited to attend.
Ms. Bumpus said the Woods Hole Community Association has discussed acquiring the property "a little bit" but that "we haven't given it the in-depth thought this type of responsibility would require."

Denise B. Almeida with Vincent Associates, a Falmouth real estate company, said she did not want to guess how much to property would be worth on the private market. "Multiple millions" for sure, she said.
"It's such a unique commodity, who knows how much that would be worth," Ms. Almeida said. "The sky's the limit for that kind of a setting."

There is no easy way to fight breast cancer but doctors at the University of Virginia Cancer Center say they now have a way to treat people in a single day for what once meant weeks and weeks of appointments and discomfort.
The UVA Cancer Center is one of the first in the country to offer this type of care. The process allows physicians to use three-dimensional computerized treatment planning to provide more precise therapy to the tumor site.
"After we remove the tumor from the patient's breasts, this applicator is placed into that lumpectomy cavity and the radiation is delivered right through this device at the time of surgery," surgical oncologist Shayna Showalter.
Doctors say the condensed treatment gives patients a chance to return to their normal lives faster.
"When the patient wakes up, the cancer has been removed and the radiation has been delivered through this applicator," Shayna said.
UVA oncologists make up the team of physicians rolling out the one-day, image-guided breast cancer treatment.
"In one space, we can have the surgeons perform the lumpectomy, they can place the brachytherapy applicator, we can do a diagnostic quality CT scan, three-dimensional computerized treatment planning and actually deliver the radiation therapy all without moving the patient," said radiation oncologist Timothy Showalter.
The innovative treatment will hopefully allow patients to live a cancer-free life sooner.
"A lot of our patients have kids to take care of, jobs to go to, and this helps shorten their treatment," Shayna said.
Timothy says the technology is most suited for women with early-stage breast cancer. "And that's a group of patients who are often served with a balance of recognizing what's best for reducing the risk of their cancer returning and also balancing returning these women back to their normal life," he said.
Physicians are working to put the final touches on this process. They hope to have their first patient receiving the single-day treatment by the end of this month.

Wednesday, the state Supreme Court handed down a punishment to Russell Pearce's brother for misconduct while in office.
Lester Pearce campaigned for his brother Russell Pearce last year during the recall election while serving as a judge.
But that kind of political activity is not allowed for sitting judges.
Among his actions: Pearce went along with his niece gathering petition signatures for alleged sham candidate Olivia Cortes.
The Supreme Court formally censured Lester Pearce. He must also pay a $15,000 fine.
He stepped down as judge back in April. His brother lost the recall election.

'American Horror Story' Q&A with star Chloe Sevigny
Last fall, FX's "American Horror Story" burst onto the scene as one of television's best drama miniseries and was nominated for 17 Emmy Awards. This season, co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk flipped the script by changing characters, plotlines and the show's setting from the "Murder House" to the dank and chilling Briarcliff Manor mental asylum.

(AP) -- Angels don't just sing at Christmastime. For most Americans, they're a year-round presence. A new Associated Press-GfK poll shows that 77 percent of adults believe these ethereal beings are real.
Belief is primarily tied to religion, with 88 percent of Christians, 95 percent of evangelical Christians and 94 percent of those who attend weekly religious services of any sort saying they believe in angels.
But belief in angels is fairly widespread even among the less religious. A majority of non-Christians think angels exist, as do more than 4 in 10 of those who never attend religious services.
Beyond the religious gap, women are more likely than men to believe angels are real, and those over 30 are more apt than younger adults to think they exist.
The finding mirrors a 2006 AP-AOL poll, which found 81 percent believed in angels.
Previous polling has found the public a bit more likely to believe in God, but far less likely to believe in other other-worldly beings. In May, 92 percent of adults told Gallup pollsters they believed in God. But just 34 percent in an AP-Ipsos poll in 2007 said they believed in ghosts or UFOs.
The AP-GfK Poll was conducted Dec. 8-12 and is based on interviews with 1,000 adults nationally. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Every year since 2005 the current winner of The X Factor has nabbed the Christmas #1 single in the U.K. But that all came to a screeching halt last week when a Facebook campaign to get Rage Against The Machine's 1992 single "Killing In The Name" to trump 2009 X Factor champ Joe McElderry's "The Climb" proved victorious.
RATM ended up selling 502,000 downloads of their 17-year-old song, just over 50,000 more than McElderry's Miley Cyrus cover, which was available in both digital and CD single format. "Killing In The Name" therefore nabbed the much sought after holiday #1 position on the chart Sunday.
But X Factor honcho Simon Cowell seems like a good sport about the whole thing, if not a tad aloof. He told the Daily Mirror that he's "taken too much for granted" ever since the champs of his TV dog and pony act started easily landing their cover version ballads at the top of the chart each year: "I have got to hold my hands up. I accept there are people that don't like The X Factor."
He even congratulated Jon and Tracy Mortner, the slick masterminds of the Rage Against The Machine Facebook campaign.
"I am genuinely impressed by the campaign they have run," says Cowell. "I offered them jobs at my record company. It could be in marketing or perhaps even running the company!
"This is their first attempt at putting out a record and they got a Christmas #1, so they have not done badly at all. I wanted them to come and work for us. I was deadly serious but they haven't taken me up on the offer."
Well, there is a reason these two campaigned against you, Simon.

New Canon Elph 510 HS grows to 12X zoom (310 HS with 8X)
If this is not a sign of the impact of the "war" between cameras and cameraphones, then I don't know what is. The compact Canon Elphs (Ixus, Ixy, Pixie, Kissie, and who knows what other real and made-up names they have) once upon a time had a 2X optical zoom lens. Then they grew to 3X, 4X, and fast-forward to now, the brand new Canon Elph 510 HS pinocchios (verb) to a 12X optical zoom lens. Match that camera-phones ;-)
Canon Elph 510 HS (aka 1100HS)
Unlike the new SX150 IS, the new Elph 510 HS has a 12mp 1/2.3" CMOS sensor, thus the "HS" in its name. Spec-wise the lens a 12x optical zoom (28-336mm eq) with optical image stabilization, with this spec matching the SX150 IS. But no PASM luxuries here, Program and Scenes and such only. Other features include 1080p video, 3.2" touch-screen that is almost the whole back of the camera, and such. It goes by the name of 1100HS in some markets because Canon likes to confuse consumers on a global basis ;-)
The camera is available for pre-order in your choice of black, red or silver for $350.
Canon Elph 310 HS (aka 230HS)
The Canon Elph 310 HS features a 8X optical zoom lens, which is still quite the zoom ratio for a compact camera of the Elphen (Elven?) variety. The 8X optical zoom lens (28-224mm eq) has optical image stabilization. The 12mp 1/2.3" CMOS sensor gives it the "HS" name and 1080p video. Unlike the 510HS, this one has a regular non-touchscren LCD display, with the old familiar specs of 3-inches and 461 kilo dots (don't convert it to pounds!). The camera goes by the name of 230HS in some markets.
It is available for pre-order for $260 in five delicious summer flavors. It is made with Stevia so it is almost calorie-free ;-)

Year So Far
These three new Canons increase the number of new cameras in 2011 to 159. Of those, 44 of them have a zoom lens with a zoom ratio of 10X or more. That's about 28% of all new cameras by major manufacturers. If we deduct the 13 interchangeable lens cameras from the total, that's 30% of the fixed lens cameras.

The Cape Coral City Council will vote on a plan that would pay for the widening of Pine Island Road. The Florida Department of Transportation would pay $17 million and the city of Cape Coral would pay $4 million of the cost.
A project to widen Pine Island Road has been in the works for over 10 years, but there has never been a way to pay for it.
This payment plan is different from the previous one that would have cost the city $54 million.
"$54 million was not going to fly for obvious reasons, so we've persevered," Cape Coral City Manager Gary King says.
The widening project will expand Pine Island Road to four lanes between Chiquita and Burnt Store, allowing for more development in the area.
Since the road is only two lanes, it can't handle the traffic that additional businesses would bring.
Jay Johnson moved his restaurant to Pine Island Road in 1998. He's heard talk of widening the road ever since.
"There was talk of a Walmart across the street here several years ago. That's been put on hold because of the road," Johnson says.
Widening the road will also add a better evacuation route in the event of a hurricane.
Cape Coral City Council will vote on the financial deal Monday evening. It is expected to pass.

Michael Cunningham, Hawks beat
March 4th, 2011
11:37 pm
Even if Hilton doesnt know the plays, he should get PT over Josh Powell.
In addition to the turnovers, another reason for the loss was our shooting from behind the arc. JJ and Jamal were 2-11 from behind the arc. Overall, Hawks shot 6-17 from 3.
For a team that takes a lot of jumpers, the Hawks need a shooter like Mike Miller or Kyle Korver.
March 4th, 2011
11:38 pm
So much for the Hawks "defensive improvement". They played with excitement for a few days following the trade, but like always… They revered back to the bad defensive team that they are. Kirk Hinrich proved that he is NOT a big upgrade and he will NOT help the hawks very much.
March 4th, 2011
11:39 pm
Mike Millers and Kyle Korvers only mean bad defense. The Hawks can't afford to have anymore bad defenders on the team.
March 4th, 2011
11:43 pm
lol at the people that actually thought Kirk Hinrich was going to be a meaningful upgrade.
March 4th, 2011
11:51 pm
I like what the players had to say about the game. They sound like they played hard and just took a lost. Can't win them all. Some players maybe tired, others aren't getting a chance to play. Which seems to be a problem. Al is in foul trouble, Josh is hurt. Play Hilton Armstrong.

I wish Larry Drew would think outside the box and try something different. Challenge them to attack the basket more and stop taking so many jumpers. I also wish we could get the Refs to call the games correctly. These are just my thoughts. I am not a NBA GM or Coach so don't quote me.

I guess the perceived lack of physicality from LD's vantage point explains the sudden playing time for Etan Thomas, who did play pretty well. Going forward I'd like to see more of him and less of Josh Powell, if either one is to get playing time.
With that said, I agree with Al. The real problem was the inability to defend the rim. When Al got in foul trouble early and went out of the game, Westbrook went into attack mode and never backed off. The Hawks had no shot blocker who could step in and guard the rim, and even when Al came back he didn't contest shots for fear of picking up his third foul (which he eventually did anyway). Smoove was missed big time.
Turnovers were also a pretty major issue. If there is one discernible dropoff from Bibby to Kirk, it is that Kirk is more turnover-prone (not that he was solely responsible for the turnover issues by any means). I'll gladly trade that for his increased mobility and defensive toughness, but let's be real, Westbrook worked him over tonight. No shame in that, since Westbrook is a fantastic player, but Kirk definitely didn't have anywhere near the kind of game defensively that he had on Wednesday. I actually thought Teague clearly played better D in this one (which I wouldn't necessarily say about the previous few games) although Kirk had a good game scoring the ball and commanded minutes as a result.
Too bad they couldn't pick up this win, though, what with Orlando and New York losing. For all their faults, they had the opportunity to win it near the end. Just couldn't get stops when they needed it, and the lackluster help defense inside all game was a contributing factor.
Also, nice game Joe, but please work on that 3 point shot. Smoove has you beat in that department right now.

"he's 4 for 4 in the official boxscore but I remember him missing a free-throw line jumper"
Ibaka was called for goaltending on that one.

"In the second half his attempted post-ups never really materialized and the offense stagnated as he dribbled."
The Thunder did a real good job getting into passing lanes (mainly Westbrook) and denying Joe and Al the post entry pass. That really screwed up a lot of the Hawks' offensive flow.

Is Kirk turnover prone, or is it that he handles the ball so much more than Bibby, that he turns it over more?
And you made a good point on Al. Taking him out of the game opened up the lane for OKC, and when Al came back in, he played a little timid because he didnt want to pick up his 3rd.
I think that goes on LD. Al finished with 3 fouls in 35 minutes, so LD has to learn to trust him even when he has 2 fouls.
March 5th, 2011

I mentioned Orlando and New York losing (in the Knicks' case, they are now 0-3 against the Cavs). I did not mention that the Heat just lost by 30. Even to the best team in the league, for that team to lose by 30 is insane.

Teague had success against Westbrook. Westbrook could not beat Teague off the dribble, he had to beat him with backdowns. He just took Hinrich to the rack at will with blow bys. Hinrich is extremely overrated and he is not a PG. He has averaged just as many To's as assists since joining the Hawks. I would much rather Teague take his bumps than keep playing this stopgap. Horford did not get enough shots. He played enough minutes, no way he should be on the court for 35 minutes and only get 10 shots, that's LD's fault and the PG who was on the floor the most which is Hinrich, but he is not a PG. Same ole Hawks till they develop Teague.

"Is Kirk turnover prone, or is it that he handles the ball so much more than Bibby, that he turns it over more?"
Probably a little bit of both, but he definitely did force a few passes today. In fairness, most opposing point guards are nowhere near as good as Westbrook when it comes to disrupting the passing lanes.
March 5th, 2011
12:16 am
"Jason Collins, the Hawks' starting center Friday, is taller and stouter than Armstrong, but has limited mobility. Reserve center Zaza Pachulia isn't as athletic as Armstrong, and Josh Powell hasn't proved to be a strong defender at the rim."
Josh Powell hasn't proven to be a strong anything at the anything. I know the Hawks' big man depth is pretty bad, but Powell should be last on the depth chart even behind mediocrity like Hilton, Zaza, and Etan Thomas.

Mike Bibby; 29 minutes, 2-6 FG, 0-3 from behind the arc, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 pts and 4 fouls.
I think he would have been a better fit in Boston, but maybe he didnt want to go there after the way he got fans riled up for being fair-weather fans back in '08.

Watching the game live revealed once again how JJ "ball hoggish ways" stood in the way of progress and prevented us from winning the game. Hinrich nailed a 3 late in the 4th qtr that started some momentum followed by a missed shot by OKC. The Hawks cleared the rebound and Hinrich got back to his "sweet spot" expecting JJ to feed him again but guess what happen? JJ goes into his "hog ball mode" probably thinking "I'm the man", "it's my team", "it's my turn to be the hero tonight" "Horford was the hero the other night" I'm the hero tonight".
Thus, he dropped his head and never looked for Hinrich, and ended up launching a tough shot and missed. The crowd roared in disbelief. OKC cleared the rebound and ended up scoring on the other end resulting in a possible 5 point turn-around had Joe given the ball up and fed the "hot hand". These are the little costly thing that JJ did (at the wrong time) that won't show up on the stats. Regardless of the final score, the margin of the loss was only 6 points.

Alot of the comments on here make me sad. I'm not sure hawks fans deserve a championship. NBA teams don't go 82-0. The team competed and never gave up. We didn't have Josh tonight. Joe and Kirk played well. Most of them did really. I do feel that Al isn't getting the and ones that he deserves.

They lost the game because JoJo hogged the ball too much. I saw he missed 3-4 jumpers in a roll. What did he do the next time when he had the ball? Shot another jumper and missed again. After that I stopped watching the game. JoJo should share the ball and put winning over his stats (he has already gotten his max $). L.D. is coaching very similar to the previous HC; the offense scheme is still very much like before – center on JoJo. The Hawks don't have a superstar, so they should run a shared and balance offensive game plan in order to win consistently. Why did Horford only see 10 shots? Another reason they lost this game is the Hawks bench is just too weak (2 players came in for only 4-5 min and they are minus 8; Hawks only lost by 6).
I thought Kirk did a reasonable good job to slow down Westbrrok. Kirk didn't shut down Westbrook, but Westbrook didn't shut down Kirk either. In fact, Kirk shot more efficiently than Westbrook (7/13 – 53.8% for 21 pts with 4/6 on 3s', while Westbrook shot 11/23 -47.8% for 28 pts; had Kirk took that many shots, he could easily score 30+). Overall, Kirk definitely neutralized Westbrook. Why didn't the coach mix up a little? Have JoJo guard Westbrook sometimes to disrupt his rhythm (you have to give Westbrook or the like different looks to slow down him); also Kirk is playing with an injured calf.
Also the coach needs to let the team PG runs offense, not still use the old offensive scheme (i.e., most of times, PG carries the ball passing the half and throw to JoJo, let him dominate the ball). It's good for everyone including JoJo; if JoJo is not trying to play PG, maybe he can shoot better. Also everyone in the starting lineup (if Josh plays) can score, let Kirk distribute the ball to initial a balance offensive attack. Kirk had 3 TO, but Teague had 2 TO (with only 14 min), JC had 3 TO, Westbrook had 3 TO, so he is not more prone to TO than the majority of PGs (his Ast/TO ratio over his career is reasonable good, compared to other PGs). Hey, the so-called best PG Rose had 6 TO in last game and 4 TO with only 5 Ast today (even though offense goes through him). Kirk can't get more ast because the Hawks offense goes through JoJo or JC. I don't care who get ast, but Kirk is a better PG than both; JoJo is a better SG than Kirk.

This fanbase is an embarrassment to the nba. UNBELIAVABLE! TURNOVER PRONE? This team would have lost by 20 points without CAPTAIN KIRK. Kirk takes care of the BASKETBALL better than anyone in the nba. He's just going through a transition period with his enept teammates. Kirk, keep playing your game young man. This team is 10 times better with you in the lineup. This fanbase is sick!
LD's substitution and his zone is what hurt the hawks last night. The Thunder is a very good basketball team and if you don't bring your A GAME against them, they will demolish you.

I think that yesterday there was a rather unfortunate conjunction of factors that undermined our chances.
I did not catch the first minutes of the game so I cannot assess if Al got called for dubious calls then but one thing I can tell you, there were plenty of calls and non calls going against us.
The perfect strip by Teague on Maynor, at least 3 or 4 bumps on JJ, a foul on jamal's drive in the 4th, the no basket continuation on Al, the charge foul on Durant that they call blocking on Hinrich…
I grant that some of these calls were not horrible and that maybe one of jamal's 3 fts was dubious , but the fact is that playoff teams playing at home usually get all those calls going their way and we didn't.
If we couple that with Jamal's horrible 3 point attempt and 3 or 4 perfectly avoidable TOs (one being Jamal's horrible pass to Hinrich late in the game and another Al's full court pass to nowhere in crucial moments) and you'll see where the game slipped.
Damn OKC also where on fire for most of the game hitting difficult and crucial shot every single time we got close.
March 5th, 2011
6:37 am
Ok…Hinrich played very good game… maybe not best defense but he just cant shoot down every player in the NBA.Westbrook took some shoots and they follow him not much you can do.Overall whole OKC team was on the fire Ibaka give us problems Harden,Collison even Maynor hits some big shoots its just that kind of night.You just cant blame one man for this loss we are much better team with Kirk Hinrich and lets all be bether fans and give this guys litle more support its easy too be fan in the wins but we also need to be fans in losses!And just dont forget that we played without Josh i think that was big factor too we give up too much point in the paint.

Horford finished with THREE PERSONAL FOULS. HE WAS NOT CLOSE TO FOULING OUT. If a player is in foul trouble, he's more likely to NOT foul out than he is.
Why do these Hawks coaches not see this? Horford got ONE foul in the 2nd half

We were missing Josh last night. We were NOT missing Bibby. Teague is improving, Hinrich is a great upgrade. Why not at least try Armstrong?
March 5th, 2011
9:40 am
harden penetrated and scored at will and was the x factor we couldnt stop. westbrook and durant played their games and played well but didnt go crazy. jj and hinrich matched them pretty well. no one stopped harden and he was the difference last night as he carved us up.
some of the to's are also from guys not expecting the ball from hinrich at times. the team as a whole all tend to be sloppy with possessions especially at critical times. impatience or overreacting to the situations, jj still tends to force things as much as anyone on the team.
March 5th, 2011

there was one time hinrich was all over westbrook and he still scored. his defense couldnt have been any better without a weapon.

"He gives us something a little bit different than our other 'bigs,'" Drew said before the game. "Maybe just a little bit more athletic, maybe just a little quicker. He certainly brings something to the table that we can definitely use.
"He's pretty active around the rim. He gives us some presence when he is in the game."
Jason Collins, the Hawks' starting center Friday, is taller and stouter than Armstrong, but has limited mobility. Reserve center Zaza Pachulia isn't as athletic as Armstrong, and Josh Powell hasn't proved to be a strong defender at the rim.
Drew said Armstrong's skills would allow him to try some defensive strategies he was reluctant to use before his arrival.
I cant figure ot this Larry Drew! Why then are you NOT playing the guy??? ANYTHING is better than the bigs they have now!
March 5th, 2011
10:30 am
One play that stood out to me was the dunk by the OKC player (I think it was Harden) when Etan was in the game. Rather than take the foul, Etan just let him go by.
I think we need more attitude in the paint, and even when Al is in the game, we just dont have that. We need to be willing to foul guys hard (but clean), and send them to the line. But our guys are just too nice…
March 5th, 2011
10:33 am
The growing pains of Jordan Crawford. After going 5-9 in 17 minutes with 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers, he has struggled in the 2 games since;
Against the Bulls; 16 mins, 1-6 FG, 2 assists, 3 steals, 4 turnovers, 2 pts.
Against Golden State, 12 minutes, 2-7 FG, no assists, steals or turnovers, 4 pts.
He is well on his way to being a poor man's Jamal
As for Armstrong, I dont understand why LD talks so glowingly about him, but didnt give him any PT. Its another example of LD's words not matching up with his actions.
The guy is a PF/Center, so how many plays does he need to learn before LD feels comfortable with him out there?

I guess some people have been sitting around waiting for a loss to complain about Kirk.
I thought he was OK defensively, and good offensively last night. Westbrook did play well, but he's had better games this season. Without the normal inside defense to help, I felt like the guards did what they could. OKC hit some tough shots, and sometimes that happens. To suggest this proves he's not an upgrade means you think the result would have been better with Bibby on the floor. That thought actually makes me laugh. I understand people who feel we gave up too much future potential in the trade, but I have no idea how anyone in their right mind could argue that Kirk is not a huge upgrade at the point.
His assist and TO numbers are upside down from his season and career averages right now. Given the long history of taking care of the ball, I'm comfortable in assuming that will work itself out as he becomes more comfortable with the system and his teammates. He possibly never will have huge assist numbers here – I noticed that Bibby's assists/36 under LD were the lowest of his career (including his short tenure in Miami on a team of ball dominant guys). I have no concerns with that as long as team assist totals are reasonable. A lot of guys get a lot of assists in this system. Better Kirk (or anyone, really) makes the hockey assist pass that results in a score than dominates the ball. Having watched the last games, I'm comfortable with how he's picking up on things.

uh rev, three losses that were embarrassing. didnt they lose to the knicks with a 15 point lead in that game to start the slump? it may only get worser.
teague didnt help on one drive letting someone go by to the basket while he hesitated to move to block the penetration or swipe at the ball. it was a team hawks effort last night. the better team on the court last night won, simply put.

As long as ld is a head coach this team this team never will play up to it's potential. We will never win anything with jj , this guy just wants to get his shots, our offense runs with him instead of the pg.jj is finished as soon as the other teams start to double team him as he holds on to the ball way to long. He gets most of his assists from someone making a jump shot with the cloak winding down. He holds on to the ball way to long while his team mates have to be open. His style of play ruins our offense. He is too inconsistent with his shooting to be taking 20 plus shots a game.ld makes horrible decisions & holds no one accountable.
March 5th, 2011
11:27 am
The players didn't lose last night…LD lost it last night.Westbrook was backing Teague down and scoring, while Hinirch forced him to shoot more jump shots or contested lay ups,so why keep Teague matched up on.At least put Joe on Westbrook.I liked LD in the beginning but now I see he isn't the coach for this team,who needs to win now and not develop coaches.When will he use his bench more.Zaza,who has been playing better lately, only gets 6 minutes,but Marvin plays the 4 and gets 35 minutes,which he should never get.
Play Armstrong!! Perfect time to being playing him is right now and he still should be played more after Josh come back.You got Hilton Armstrong as possibly your most athletic big behind Josh&Al, who can defend the rim and you don't play him?!?!?Why did you include him in a trade if you aren't going to use him. You can tell Josh is missed by not having a shot blocker,but Armstrong can supplement till he comes back.
Joe is doing better by backing down weaker, smaller guards and putting up 24 points, which is great. LD needs to play with different lineups and give Joe some rest.LD is just disappointing me now.

December 28, 2012, 7:32 AM — Congratulations on unwrapping your brand-new iPhone! Undoubtedly, you've already fired up the device and are eagerly exploring what the phone has to offer. Now that you've learned your way around a bit, its time to load your iPhone up with apps, both fun and functional.
Although the iPhone comes preloaded with a handful of Apples own apps, you have thousands upon thousands of third-party apps to choose from in the App Store. Sorting through the lists can be an overwhelming task, so here are a few suggestions to help get you started. With these excellent apps, you can make the most of your iPhone and really show off its capabilities.
Recently, Apple released a stand-alone app for managing podcasts, separating the podcast-listening experience from the iPhone's Music app. While the Podcasts app is good, Downcast ($2 in the App Store) is even better. Downcast lets you easily search for and subscribe to podcasts directly from your device. The app also allows you to create playlists, so you can arrange to listen to, say, Radiolab right after This American Life without too much toggling. Andas is standard these days -- the audio can play in the background while you use other applications. You can also share your listening habits with Facebook and Twitter friends. Downcast stands out due to its simple navigation and iCloud integration -- if you have an iPad or another iOS device, you can use iCloud to sync episodes, podcast subscriptions, and playlists between devices.

Hoping for a Meteor to Strike Because Life is Hard? You're Probably Out of Luck
Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
A meteor estimated to be 10,000 tons by NASA exploded Friday morning over Russia's Ural region and its shockwave caused injuries to over 1,000 people. It took out windows and walls in the city of Chelyabinsk. And it temporarily shifted the conversation here on earth to talks of the heavens.
"We can find these objects, we can track their motions, and we can predict their orbits many years into the future," noted Robert Naeye of Sky and Telescope in an essay called, Lessons from the Russian Meteor Blast. "And in the unlikely event that we actually find a dangerous object on a collision course with Earth, we might actually be able to deflect it if given sufficient warning time. Now, every government in the world is keenly aware of the possibility of meteor explosions over its territory."
The Russian parliament is also keen on the idea. "Instead of fighting on Earth, people should be creating a joint system of asteroid defense," its affairs committee chief Alexei Pushkov wrote on his Twitter account late Friday. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin on Saturday reiterated the idea and proposed a global defense system to counter space threats.
And on CNN, Lawrence Krauss, professor of physics and director of the Origin Project, talked about how human technology has advanced to the point of predicting and, more interesting, deflecting oncoming meteorites that could cause the earth "significant damage."
"We have to think about it seriously,"he said. "It's not science fiction. We can send a rocket out and land on [a meteor] or impact with it." If the meteor is far enough, "A small rocket running for a while [can cause] a small angular change.. enough have it miss the earth."
Meanwhile a new program called ATLAS is about to be launched. According to The Guardian, "The University of Hawaii has proposed a cheaper, simpler system known as Atlas - Advanced Terrestrial-Impact Last Alert System - to be constructed with the help of a $5m grant from NASA." Its aim is to create a warning system on oncoming asteroids and find ways to save earth from the impact.
So welcome to the age of empyrealization—an age of man's increasing awareness and interactions with the heavens. We grow cognizant that we exist on intimate levels with the rest of the universe, that we are interacting with it, and, increasingly, having an effect upon it as it does upon us. The word doesn't exist yet in the dictionary, but for that matter neither did globalization 3 decades ago.
Unlike the dinosaurs, we have, in effect, become active agents in changing our destiny. A giant meteor wiped out 90 percent of life on earth 65 million years ago because the dinosaurs didn't collectively create a missile shield to deflect the meteor. Humans, on the other hand, with our orbiting telescopes and space probes, and our growing awareness of the threat from space, can track large foreign objects coming millions miles away and are talking about collectively deflecting those that could do us harm.
That man has changed his home planet is now well-accepted. Long before the industrial revolution and the age of climate change, humans have significantly impacted earth, at least according to climate scientist William Ruddiman. In his book titled "Plows, Plagues, and Petroleum: How Humans Took Control of Climate," he claimed that there is significant evidence that levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have been rising since the earliest beginnings of agriculture. There is strong evidence, too, that a mini-ice age was averted some 5,000 years ago due to the rise in methane caused by the proliferation of rice paddy agriculture in Asia.

The TJX Companies: Shopping for growth and value
This leading retailer passes a screen based on time-test value and growth strategy.
The TJX Companies (TJX) is a recent newcomer to the Validea Hot List. It has increased earnings per share in each year of the past decade, one of the reasons that it impresses my Warren Buffett-based model. It also scores highly on my Peter Lynch-based model.
In addition, the stock scores a 100% rating from my James O'Shaughnessy-based model, which is discussed below.
As the parent of Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, and HomeGoods, TJX offers brand-named clothing and merchandise at discount prices, making it attractive when times are good or bad. The $29 billion market cap company has taken in about $23 billion in sales in the past year.
TJX's ability to succeed in a variety of economic climates is clear by looking at its earnings history.
The first requirement of the Cornerstone Growth Strategy -- our model based on James O'Shaughnessy -- is that the company has a market capitalization of at least $150 million.
This will screen out the companies that are too illiquid for most investors, but still include a small growth company. TJX, with a market cap of $28,806 million, passes this criterion.
The Cornerstone Growth methodology looks for companies that show persistent earnings growth without regard to magnitude. To fulfill this requirement, a company's earnings must increase each year for a five year period.
TJX, whose annual earnings per share before extraordinary items for the last five years (from earliest to the most recent fiscal year) were 0.84, 1.04, 1.42, 1.65 and 1.93, passes this test.
The price-to-sales ratio should be below 1.5. This value criterion, coupled with the growth criterion, identify growth stocks that are still cheap to buy. TJX's price-to-sales ratio of 1.24, based on trailing 12 month sales, passes this criterion.
The final criterion for the Cornerstone Growth Strategy requires that the Relative Strength of the company be among the top 50 of the stocks screened using the previous criterion.
This gives you the opportunity to buy the growth stocks you are searching for just as the market is embracing them. TJX, whose relative strength is 94, is in the top 50 and would pass this last criterion.

Public Abstract:
Statement of Benefit to California:
Progress Report:
Year 1Human stem cells, both embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells, offer exciting opportunities for cell-based therapies in injured or diseased human brains or spinal cords. The clinical efficacy of grafted progenitor cells critically depends on their ability to migrate to the appropriate sites in the adult central nervous system without unwanted proliferation and tumor formation. However, little is known about the cellular behavior of human neural progenitor cells derived from human stem cells or how their proliferation and migration are coordinated. During this reporting period, we continued to study human neural progenitor cells derived from human stem cells, a cell culture system established during the prior reporting period. We focused on microRNAs, a class of small, noncoding RNAs of ~21–23 nucleotides that regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level. These small RNAs mostly destabilize target mRNAs or suppress their translation by binding to complementary sequences in the 3' untranslated regions (3'UTRs). Our results obtained during this reporting period indicate that some microRNAs have very interesting functions in human neural progenitors, both in in vitro cell culture system and when transplanted into mouse brains. These new findings may have important implications for stem cell based therapies for neurodegenerative diseases or brain/spinal cord injuries.

GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) Packers' receiver Greg Jennings will test his running ability on Thursday – and if it's good, he'll practice on Friday, in preparation for Sunday's home contest against Jacksonville. Jennings injured a groin on September ninth against San Francisco. And Coach Mike McCarthy said he might have practiced too much before aggravating the groin on September 30th against New Orleans.
This time, the coaches are being more cautious. McCarthy said fatigue was a concern during his first rehab – and a heavy practice schedule was quote, "not in his best interest" before his second injury. It's not known how Jennings would be incorporated into the Packer offense if he plays against the Jaguars. But McCarthy says it should not be too much of a problem, as quarterback Aaron Rodgers always throws to whoever's open.
Meanwhile, the Jaguars will be without their star running back Maurice Jones-Drew for the Packer game – and possibly beyond. Jones-Drew hurt his left foot in the Jags' overtime loss to Oakland last Sunday. Team doctors say it's possible that he has a more severe Lisfranc injury.

Blaine Planning Commission approves recommendations for zoning text revision
Published on Thu, Sep 20, 2012 by
Brandy Kiger
Read More
The name of the game was semantics at the Blaine Planning Commission's September 13 public hearing on lot coverage. After listening to the city planning staff's testimony and recommendations for an updated definition of lot coverage, the commissioners spent the rest of the meeting carefully deliberating over how the zoning text amendment would be worded.
The city's lot coverage requirements dictate how much of a lot can be covered with buildings or other impervious surfaces. Impervious surfaces are those that rainwater cannot flow through to reach the ground underneath.
Patios and driveways, which are not regulated by the city, contribute to the lot coverage requirement – effectively reducing the amount of lot space that homeowners can build on. Homeowners often hit a wall when they go to build an addition or other structure and discover that they have already unknowingly met or exceeded their lot coverage allowance.
Facing just this problem, Ritzie de los Reyes addressed city planners through an email, writing that he was "finding it very hard and expensive to justify and make the renovation [to add square footage to his home] possible due to the current code restrictions." De los Reyes has an existing driveway that has pushed him to the limit of his lot coverage requirement and, under current municipal code, will not be able to continue expansion of his home unless he removes it and replaces it with pervious material.
Distinctions between open, natural and vegetative space were also part of Thursday's discussion, as well as the environmental impact a change in lot coverage requirements would have on the community. In the end, the commissioners agreed to strike "and other impervious surfaces" from the zoning text and create a provision requirement for open or natural space instead. Because open and natural space both have specific meanings in municipal code, the commissioners asked the planning staff to consider what the exact wording should be in order to clearly define the amendment's scope.
"Requiring open space is a huge thing for me," said commissioner Sue Sturgill during the deliberations. The addition of this requirement would ensure that residentially zoned lots would not be completely covered with impervious surfaces or buildings. The commissioners voted 4-1-1 in favor of recommending the zoning text amendment, with Commissioner Tabb opposed and Commissioner LeBrun absent.
The recommendations for amendment will be presented to Blaine city council for final approval at a later date.

Learn more about Tennessee Rep's 2013-2014 Season
Willkommen to the Kit Kat Klub. Take your seat at a bar table, order a little something from your fetching cocktail waitress, and immerse yourself in the musical theatre event of a lifetime. You're not just at the show... you're in the show as Tennessee Rep transforms Johnson Theater into 1930s Berlin. Inside the cabaret, Sally Bowles and the beguiling Emcee live in a seedy, sexy world of delicious decadence, while outside, the gathering storm of Nazi oppression grows. Filled with hit Broadway songs and a story that still speaks profoundly to us today, Cabaret is a knock-out, once-in-a-lifetime theatrical experience.
Copeland Says
"Dark, gritty, sexy, funny, heart-breaking…and wonderful music. What more can I say? Cabaret has been on my 'dying-to-do' list for some time now. It's one of those musicals that brings so much more to the table than you expect. The story is rooted in a time and place rife with violence and uncertainty, a crumbling era when things were falling apart and danger was lurking in unexpected places. The impact of that time and place echoes in the music—the musical numbers are funny and entertaining, but there are undercurrents that give depth and unexpected impact. I love that—when something is more than it seems on the surface. When I discussed this show as a possibility for this season with the artistic team, we all became very excited at the prospect… and we continue to grow more and more excited each day. Season selection is also about finding material that we as a team can get really fired up about—and that inspires us to set our bar very high which in an exceptional experience for our audience. As has become a benchmark for Tennessee Rep, we can't wait to transform Johnson Theater in a way that will put our own special stamp on this multi-Tony-winning classic. "

The Egnater Tweaker-40 112 40 watt tube guitar combo amp is an expansion of the award winning Tweaker-Series and is packed with the features tone tweakers have been asking for. The Tweaker-40 112 combo offers the classic tonal characteristics of the original Tweaker with more than double the power, 6L6 tubes, and two independent channels, each with an expanded set of Tweaker switches. This open-back combo is loaded with a 12" custom-voiced Celestion Elite GH-50 speaker.
The Tweaker-40 112's 11 onboard Tweaker switches provide a wide range of vintage tones, from ultra-pristine cleans to oversaturated leads. Use the USA/AC/BRIT switch to dial in your choice of American, British, or VX EQ. The Hot/Clean selector takes you on a journey from low to high gain, while the Vintage/Modern switch transforms the amp's feel from classic rock to modern edge. The Mid Cut switch sculpts the critical midrange while Egnater's signature Tight and Bright switches let you shape the low and high-end.

Comments about Egnater Tweaker-40 112 40W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp:
Truly a tone chasers amp! I found what I wanted in terms of having the option of having the British/USA tone combination. The Brit/AC/US switch really changes the tone of the amp. But it would be great if both channels had that feature. All the Tweaker switches provide a noticeable difference in sound when used. But I sold if for a Fender Hot Rod Deville 3. I wanted a 2x12 speaker amp.....but I am getting rid of the Fender as well. I love the cleans but now am getting the Egnater Renegade 2x12 Combo!!
Why? It actually is the amp I wanted in the first place but had to just start with the Tweaker and go from there. The Renegade 2x12 is my preference as I cannot vibe with one speaker amps.
But the Tweaker is a great amp if you are like me and very picky about achieving various guitar tones.....this amp will not disappoint you.

Comments about Egnater Tweaker-40 112 40W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp:
Tone for days and it LOVES pedals! Amazingly cool and great sounding little combo. The fact that there are two identical channels that are both highly customized is unique in that when you switch between the two it is utterly seamless. The only thing that would make it better would be the ability to have two seperate and tweakable EQ stacks so you could go from Fender Clean to Dirty Marshall. The EQ section is shared and you can choose between a Fender, Marshall or Vox tone profile. I've been in love with the AC30 voicing. So versatile and just amazing tone live. Haven't recorded with it yet but I'm sure it will blow me away. It is a true workhorse combo that gives you many great tones and does it with real tubes and no modeling. Sorry Pod, you're going back in the closet.

Comments about Egnater Tweaker-40 112 40W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp:
I don't think you could find a better 40-watt combo at this price. The superior quality is apparent as soon as you take it out of the box.
This amp has such a broad tonal palette that it can be used for almost any style of music at a wide range of venues. I have had mine for over a month now, and I have used it constantly. Every day I'm discovering new combinations for amazing tones I never knew I could get out of my rig. Great for blues! Great for rock!
The two identical foot-switchable channels, each with 4-independent toggles and gain/volume control, allow me to work through a wide variety of sounds from warm rich cleans, to dirty/high-power drives in the upper gain levels. It's like having two amps in one.
Fender makes a great clean sounding amp, and Marshall amps in this size DO sound great, (but you have to crank them way up to get the right break-up and grit that brings them to life ). But they can't match the clean tones and wide range of options you get with this one. With the Tweaker-40 112, you get the best of both worlds.
Don't hesitate to buy this awesome amp. You won't regret it!

Comments about Egnater Tweaker-40 112 40W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp:
I've been playing for 20 years. I've been in a number of bands and used to be a die-hard Vox devotee. Recently, after starting a new project in my home studio, I wanted a combo amp that could go the anywhere I wanted it to go but with a clean signal (i.e., no effects). That's right: the hunt for the perfect distortion. I wanted something that could do the cranked AC30 but without the size, the crunchy Mesa Stiletto but without the 2k price tag, and Fender clean. I explained this to several musicians and techs and Egnater kept coming up. I tried several amps at GC (including the Fender Blues Deville, AC30, and Mesa 50:50, all with am SG classic with p90s). The Egnater topped them all. I'm in love with this little guy. It's club and tour ready. If I were to go into a larger setting, I'd pick up the 1x12 ext. but otherwise I love it. Bar-to-med club shows are a synch. This is a studio dream. Buy it yesterday.
Comments about Egnater Tweaker-40 112 40W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp:
I brought this amp after considering many options. Been playing for over 30 years, actively gigging in a classic rock/pop cover band for the past 4 years. My quest for a great on-stage distortion tone has haunted me all that time. Been through tons of gear, Marshall, Peavey, Mesa, Line 6, Vox, was never able to achieve my dream tone on stage, at acceptable volume. Decided to give Egnater a shot. At first I brought the Renegade 2x12 which sounded great in the store, but I found it too middy when I got it home. I had the same problem with a Mesa ElectraDyne I had a few years back, ended up selling that. Returned the Renegade and picked up the Tweaker 40 1x12 combo on recommendation from a friend. This is really a great sounding amp! I normally don't submit reviews during the honeymoon period, but decided to make an exception in this case. I will submit a follow-up in a few months if necessary.
The tweaker switches help to dial in your tone and offer a lot of control over the crucial midrange, as well as bass and treble. I gigged with it for the first time last week using a Les Paul and a Strat. Very smooth, tight sounding distortion, with lots of character and body, no mud. Nice clean tone. Great sounding, quiet effects loop, probably the best I have heard in a combo amp. I love the fact that the loop is footswitchable. For me, the key point in favor of this amp is that the distortion sounds very good (and cuts through the mix very well) at reasonable stage volume. On board reverb would be great to have though.
The sound guy is forever telling me to turn down, but not with this amp! It sounds great at relatively low volume. Coming back at me through the stage monitors, it sounded really good, and I usuall hate the monitor sound! Very professional tone, blends perfectly with the band. The amp pumps out a really quality tone, fat, with lots of character and detail, and a refined high end, never harsh. The core tone is so good that effects are not really necessary, another very good sign.
This amps sounds better than several previous models I have owned costing 2 or 3 times the price. You can't beat the value Egnater gives you here.

Flood insurance: Why you should care
While most homeowners understand that their policy won't help with flood damage, a survey finds that few act on that knowledge.
Most people know insurance isn't going to help pay for flood damage to their house, a poll released today by Bankrate.com found, but not many homeowners have done anything about it.
More than 80% of those surveyed understand the flooding limitations of homeowner's insurance policies, the poll found. But Bankrate cited data from the Insurance Information Institute showing that only 13% of homeowners have obtained flood insurance. That's despite the Federal Emergency Management Agency determining that flooding is the top natural hazard in the United States.
"This is a classic 'Do as I say, not as I do' situation," said Doug Whiteman, a Bankrate insurance analyst. "The vast majority of Americans know the key facts about flood insurance, but they haven't taken the necessary steps to protect their homes."
Properties are typically classified by FEMA as either at a high risk of flood or at low to moderate risk, according to Bankrate, which found that only about half of those surveyed knew which category they were in. The National Flood Insurance Program reports that about a quarter of all claims come from the lower risk zones. Floods can be caused not just from overflowing rivers, but also from melting snow or excessive rain.
After finding out what their risk level is, Whiteman said, homeowners should check to see what their current policies cover (and don't cover), and look into obtaining flood insurance if they don't already have it. Such coverage can be relatively inexpensive, he said.
"The average flood insurance policy costs about $50 per month, so for roughly the cost of dinner and a movie, consumers can protect themselves against disaster," Whiteman said.
Federally backed flood insurance -- which can be purchased from certain insurance agents -- covers damage to the dwelling and contents. However, the amount of coverage is limited and homeowners with higher-value properties (more than $250,000) or high-priced contents (more than $100,000) should also look into obtaining supplemental coverage.
Bankrate noted insurance industry statistics that showed a lower percentage of homeowners have flood insurance now (13%) than did in 2008 (17%), and that while Florida residents took out the most flood policies, states in the Midwest had suffered the most flood damage in recent years.
You can find out more about flood insurance and get the flood-risk rating for your property and an estimate of rates -- whether you're an owner or renter -- at the National Flood Insurance website. Getting flood insurance shouldn't be a last-minute decision when waters start to rise, since policies typically begin after a 30-day waiting period.
Another issue to consider is what would happen if flooding made your home uninhabitable -- something flood insurance through the federal program does not cover (although privately written flood insurance might).
Homeowner's insurance usually covers some housing costs when you're forced to relocate, but not when the reason is flooding. So if your house is damaged due to flooding, you're dependent on whether FEMA steps in or if reasons other than flooding could trigger your homeowner's coverage, such as a tree falling on the house or a mandatory evacuation.

Comments about Kitchen Wrap Organizer & Freezer Organizer:
The item doesn't accommodate six boxes of kitchen wrap, foil, etc. The boxes get stuck and/or fall through the slots. It is not sturdy and falls over quite easily. I purchased 2 of these contraptions that cost me $13.98 +. Returning the warp stackers cost me some $11.35. Not a wise decision to buy.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have 3 of these and they are very useful in keeping your pantry organized with rolls of foil or saran wrap, and even boxes of zip lock bags such as sandwich or snack bags. I have used small white cable ties and have them linked together for very long rolls of aluminum foil. Put two of them together lengthwise and cable tie. Works great!

Design Flaw
By Linda in KY
from Louisville, KY
The wire shelves that are supposed to hold the wrap boxes on the top two levels are too narrow to hold most standard size boxes. This leaves a big gap between them. The boxes fell off each shelf and through the gap instead of sitting on them. I solved the problem by attaching three strips of heavey duty tape from one shelf across to the other filling in the gap and giving the boxes something to sit on. It works fine now that I've fixed it but whoever makes this organizer needs to make the shelves wider with little or no gap between them or just eliminate the two separate shelves altogether and use one large flat shelf. The customer should not have to jerryrig a product just to make it work as advertised.

It works as it should, but it came with both side rails bent. I bent them back into postion, it's all good now. I just hope this wasn't the norm for this company. If the item is damaged then they shouldn't ship it. Other then that, it works fine.
This product solved my problem. Thanks

This product keeps my foil,plastic wrap,sandwich bags,etc well organized. Before I purchased it my things were always falling off the shelf into the back of the cabinet. The cabinet is a corner one with the lazy susan shelves. I was always on my knees reaching into the back of the cabinet retrieving my things. This stacker solved my problem.
A Stacker in Time saved a lot of mess,
By John Casey

This product was right in the nick of time. My wife had just moved all the boxes of Saran Wrap,waxed paper etc out of the drawer she kept them in and them piled on a cabinet just as they are pictured in the catalog. Only she had accumulated doubles of most of them.We ordered two stackers and stacked them.We fastened them together with electrical wire ties,Works great.My wife was very pleased.
My pantry looks so much neater!

Space saver
By Love products that help organize
from La Habra, CA
This item is so simple, yet practical and such a space saver. Keeps all those wrap boxes neat, visable and ezly accessible on your kitchen shelf--esp. if you have a narrow one like I do. My mom bought one for me and one for herself years ago when I got my 1st apt. I've moved it w/me 3x and love it! Recently, a neighbor saw it and wanted one. I searched everywhere and could never find one again 'til I saw it in the Walter Drake catalog. My only issue is not about the product. It was reasonably priced, but WD not only charged S&H, but an extra $1.99 "processing fee". So, that doubled the total cost of the item, which is stupid. Processing fee? Really? Isn't that part of the S&H? Normally, I wouldn't have patronized WD as a result of the add'l fee, but I really wanted to get it for my neighbor so I caved and bought it anyway! She is happy, so that is worth it, but shame on WD!

San Diego School Board Approves $2.1 Billion Project Stabilization Agreement
After hearing overwhelming support from hundreds of workers, community members, clergy, and experts, the San Diego Unified School District board of trustees on May 26 voted 3-2 for a Project Stabilization Agreement, or Project Labor Agreement, for $2.1 billion in school construction, retrofitting and modernization projects.
The agreement ensures that the work will be done by skilled union workers, receiving good wages and health benefits. The agreement also provides for local hiring requirements, provisions benefiting returning military veterans, and joint labor-management apprenticeship programs.
Trustees Sheila Jackson, Richard Barrera and John Lee Evans cast votes in favor of the agreement. Local hire was the centerpiece of the agreement, with as much as 70 percent of work going to workers within the district's boundaries. Workers residing within inner-city zip codes will have first crack at the jobs.
Barrera, a local union organizer by day, described the agreement as "a shot in the arm to San Diegans, and their families and kids."
San Diego Building and Construction Trades Council Business Manager Tom Lemmon said the overwhelming show of community support and union solidarity proved too powerful for opponents, mainly anti-union contractors, to overcome.
Also in attendance to support the agreement were members of other political, environmental, religious, and community groups.
The anti-worker San Diego Union-Tribune reported that the vote was "seen by many as a coup for the working class."
The agreement covers projects of $1 million or more, where three or more companies bid. The funds, approved by voters through November's Proposition S, will cover approximately 200 projects within the region's largest district.Return to the Labor Leader - June issue.
