Being a journalist has given me the opportunity to meet a number of celebrities from the sports and entertainment arenas.
However, I figured that would be an unfair advantage for this section.
It would have to be someone I met per-chance on the street. Or in this case, in a hotel lobby waiting for an elevator.
I can't remember the exact year ... maybe 1992 or 93. It was in Daytona during Speedweeks. There were a few of us up from the Port Charlotte area to take in the races.

What exactly is a time-share? A time-share divides ownership of a property among a group of people. While the approach most often has been applied to vacation condos and villas, the time-share concept has broadened to encompass other types of properties, from houseboats to luxury jets.
On average, a time-share has roughly 50 owners. They're guaranteed rights to use the property for a specific period of time per year (usually one to two weeks each). The developers choose how time-shares are divided among owners. Here are some of the major variations.
• Fixed, floating, and rotating weeks. Fixed-week systems reserve rights to the property during the same week(s) each year. Floating-week systems let owners decide when they want to use their week(s) within a set time frame (such as during the winter season). Rotating systems reserve different weeks each year, on a cycle. For example, if the cycle is set at three years, then during the fourth year, owners revert to the same weeks they had the first year.
• Deeded and right-to-use. Deeded time-shares divide ownership of the property among investors, who each own a piece of the real estate. Right-to-use time-shares offer a contract to use the property for a certain number of years. Many time-share properties in foreign countries work under this system due to laws prohibiting or limiting foreign ownership of real estate.
Time-share costs vary widely depending upon location and the popularity of the season during which owners choose to stay. Fees for property maintenance and amenities add to the bottom line.
How are fractional residences different from time-shares? Because developers admit fewer owners to fractionals than to time-shares (usually fewer than 15), each owner is guaranteed more time to use the property. Fractionals are usually affiliated with higher-end hotels and resorts, providing owners with access to numerous benefits and services. Fractionals are sold on a percentage-of-ownership basis. For example, a one-fourth stake allows six weeks' use.
What about destination clubs? Upscale fractional residences are often referred to as private destination clubs, but membership does not provide ownership rights to a specific property. Instead, members buy the opportunity to stay in a wide selection of second "homes."
Destination clubs offer many extras, which tend to be more posh than those offered through fractionals. The one-time membership cost is generally 80 percent refundable should you decide to leave, though annual fees are also part of the deal. While destination clubs cater to those who have the means to easily purchase a second home, their appeal springs from the diversity of locations available.
Where do exchange companies fit in? Most time-shares and fractionals are affiliated with exchange companies that allow owners to trade weeks so that they can try different time-share units. The companies charge a fee and often provide services, such as car rentals, flights, and travel insurance.
For more information, visit time-share owners' Web sites, such as tug2.net.

The boys and girls varsity basketball teams of two Main Line day schools wrapped up their season on the 76ers home court.
The boys and girls varsity basketball teams of two Main Line day schools took their annual face-off to new heights on Monday, playing on professional courts at the Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia.
The Modern Orthodox Kohelet Yeshiva and the pluralistic Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy both bused their entire student bodies and invited family and friends to watch the teams compete on the Philadelphia 76ers home floor just before the pro team's game against Milwaukee later that evening. The crowd of almost 1,000 onlookers cheered, stomped, sang and applauded for three hours straight as Barrack's teams eventually prevailed.
The games were originally supposed to be part of the 76ers' Jewish Heritage Night. But that event was moved to mid-March, when the high school basketball season would already be over.
In the first match, Barrack's Lady Cougars took a sizeable lead into halftime. Kohelet surprised Barrack in the third quarter and got within a few points of tying the score before the Cougars made some late key plays to win 36-21. Sophia Shoulson led Barrack, as she has done all season long, with 14 points.
In the boys game, it was Kohelet that controlled the first half. At one stage during the third quarter, the Kings enjoyed a seemingly comfortable 13 point lead. However, Kohelet's dominance faded over the final 12 minutes as Barrack made a furious comeback. With the crowd worked into a frenzy, Barrack ran away with the game, 50-43. Cory Barnet was Barrack's top scorer with 20 points.
"It was a fantastic experience for our entire school community," said Justin Cooper, Barrack's athIetic director. "The school spirit shown by both institutions was exceptional. When there is healthy competition, it can bring out the best in our students."
"We were grateful for the incredible opportunity to play against Barrack in an event that truly celebrated both schools' athletic programs", said Rabbi Joshua Friedman, Kohelet's Athletic Director and Head Coach of their Boys team. "It was fun to see the friendly rivalry play out on the biggest stage in Philly. What a great way to end the season, and we're hoping for a repeat game there next year!"
The Feb. 24 games closed the season for both schools, even though Barrack had already competed in its league championship more than a week earlier.
Both the boys and girls teams from Barrack competed against Perkiomen for the Tri-County League Championship on Feb. 13. But Perkiomen proved to be stronger in both games. The Barrack girls lost by a score of 47-27; the boys 57-38. Overall, however, the Cougars ended the season with impressive records. Including the wins over Kohelet, the Barrack girls had 19 wins and only 3 losses; the boys had a respectable 10 wins and 7 losses.

Project overview
You would have loved the library in my old hometown. Its beautifully paneled wood bookshelves were as inspirational as the books they held. This handsome bookcase features those same classic elements—the curved brackets, column-like partitions and crown molding. Now you can add them to your living room or study with this simply designed bookcase project.
You can build this built-in bookcase by following our clear drawings and step-by-step photos, or use these techniques to modify the dimensions for your own space. The partitions shown in Photos 8 and 9 can be placed wall to wall as shown or can stop halfway into a room and then finish off on the open side. Or you can extend the length by building additional partitions and shelves.
This project is made from hardwood plywood, 2x6s, hardwood boards and standard moldings available at home centers and lumberyards. We chose birch boards and plywood along with maple moldings and then used a gel stain to give the project a cherry wood appearance. You'll notice we've also rubbed away stain to create highlights for an antique look. The materials we used are listed in the Shopping List (see Additional Information) and illustrated in Figure A. You can preassemble nearly all the parts of this modular-type project in your garage or shop and carry them into your room for assembly.
Video: DIY Hiding Place From Old Books
The sandwich-style partitions
Photo 2: Assemble the sides
Glue and nail the plywood sides (B) to straight 2x6s (A) ripped to 4 in. wide. Leave a 2-in. gap at the back and a 3/4-in. gap in the front. Next, glue and nail the front 3/4-in. plywood piece (C) so it's flush with the sides. Make all four partitions exactly alike and be sure the pieces are all cut 1-1/4 in. less than your ceiling height. Let the glue dry for a couple of hours before assembling.
Photo 3: Drill shelf pin holes
Measure 12 in. down from the top of your partition and drill 1/4-in. holes, 1/2 in. deep, every 2 in. to accept the shelf pins. Ensure accuracy by making a drill guide from a steel strip, available at your hardware store. Mark one end with paint so you always know which end goes up, then drill three 1/16-in. holes evenly along the length so you can use brad nails to attach the guide to your work surface. You can also buy predrilled guides at homecenters or woodworking stores, or simply use strips of pegboard.
Cut your plywood lengthwise to the dimensions in the Cutting List (see Additional Information) to make your exterior partition skin. Equip your circular saw with a new, thin-kerf 40-tooth carbide blade. Use a long cutting guide clamped to the plywood sheet to guide your saw for straight cuts. Also rip straight 8-ft. 2x6s to 4-in. widths with your table saw for the core of each partition. NOTE: Buy your 2x6s about a week in advance and bring them inside to dry out and adjust. You may have some that'll warp or twist as they adjust to the dry environment inside the house, so buy a couple of extra pieces just in case.
Assemble the partitions on a flat surface as shown in Photo 2 and then set them aside for the glue to dry. Once the glue is dry, drill the 1/4-in. holes for the shelf pins as shown in Photo 3.
Notice the 2-in. gap at the back of the sandwich. This is crucial. It'll allow you to slip the partitions over cleats attached to the wall with room to spare, as shown in Photo 7. TIP: The extra 1/2 in. of space between the cleat on the wall and the recess in the partition is convenient for running wiring for low-voltage lights in the soffits of the bookcase. We were just storing books, so the lighting wasn't necessary.
Save time: Preassemble the shelves while the glue sets for the partitions
Photo 4: Build the shelves
Glue and nail 1/2-in. thick hardwood strips on the backside of the shelf (E) and 1-1/8 in. decorative molding to the front (F). An 18-gauge air nailer is worth buying or renting for this task. You can nail the molding as you align it without the possibility of it shifting, not to mention you'll be done in less than a tenth of the time required for ordinary nailing.
While the glue is drying on the partitions, it's a good idea to get other parts cut and ready to assemble. Start with the shelves. From measuring the room in Photo 1, you'll have a good sense of the shelf length. Make them all about an inch or more too long and trim them later for an exact fit. By making the shelves a bit long, you don't have to fuss with perfectly aligning the moldings on the front and back of the shelf as you glue and nail them together. Also, save time by forming an assembly line. NOTE: Don't make these shelves more than 42 in. long or they may noticeably sag. Our shelves are 39 in. long.The 1/2-in. anti-sag cleat glued to the rear of the shelf is not a stock item, but you can make it on a table saw. First cut 1-1/2 in. wide strips from a wider board. Then tip this piece on end and cut the 3/4-in. width down to 1/2 in. This step is called resawing and can be tricky because the workpiece gets narrow. Use a push stick to keep your fingers clear of the blade. If this is beyond your adventurous spirit, have the lumberyard folks cut it for you for a nominal fee, and stick to the fun parts of the project. And don't forget, while you're resawing (or having someone else do it), make parts Q.
The front molding of the shelf (5/8 in. thick and 1-1/8 in. wide) covers the nasty plywood edge and also stiffens the shelf. This molding came from a local home center. Match it with the profile shown in Fig. A or feel free to use any similar profile with the same dimensions.
Trace the curved brackets using the grid method
Mark your first bracket (K) on a piece of 1x8. First lay out a 1-in. square grid on the 1x8, then mark the shape intersections with the grid and draw a smooth line connecting the dots. Once the lines are drawn, cut out the shape with a jigsaw and use your first cutout as a template for the rest. Smooth the curve with a drum sander or sanding block.
The partition faces are like super-narrow face frames on cabinets
Because they're so narrow and don't have to support weight as real cabinet face frames do, you can just nail the face frame parts together as shown in Photo 6 and Fig. A. Once they're nailed, you'll need to sand the front and back completely flat to get them to lie nicely against the partition fronts. The tool of choice for this is a random orbital sander. You can start with 80-grit paper and finish with 150-grit.
Glue and screw the partition cleats to your wall
In this article, we're assuming you have wood or tile floors, but if you have carpeting, you'll need to roll it back, remove the tackless strip, and then stretch and trim it later. We've also assumed that most of you have drywall over wood studs, but if you don't, use the right anchor for your wall, whether it's concrete, brick or plaster. If you have drywall with wood framing, you probably won't hit a stud as you try to screw the partition cleats to the wall (Photo 7).
Before fastening the wall cleats, screw a 1x2 cleat to the ceiling so the front edge is 10-1/2 in. from the back wall. This cleat serves two purposes: It helps support the partition and works as a cleat for the fascia (Photo 9). Our ceiling joists ran perpendicular to the wall, so we could get a solid connection into the ceiling every 16 in. (your joists may be 24 in. on center). If the joists are running parallel to the back wall, you'll need to use anchors and construction adhesive.
Next, drill four 3/16-in. diameter holes along the length of each wall cleat, plumb the cleat into position and then drive a nail through the holes to mark the anchor locations in the drywall. Screw in your wall anchors and then smear construction adhesive on the backside of the cleat and screw it to the wall. Measure top and bottom to the next cleat to ensure they'll be parallel. Install the rest in the same manner. NOTE: Keep the end wall cleats 1-1/8 in. from adjacent side walls.
Slip the partitions over the wall cleats and screw them into place
Photo 8: Tip the column partitions into place
Fasten the partitions to the cleats with 2-in. screws (3 and 6 in. from the ceiling and the floor, respectively). They'll be hidden later by the upper soffit and lower base of the bookcase. Use a framing square to make sure the partitions are square to the back wall, then fasten them to the ceiling cleat with 2-in. steel angle supports.
Carry the partitions into the room and tip them up carefully to avoid scarring the ceiling. The partitions are fastened only at the top and bottom, as mentioned in Photo 8, so the screwheads will be covered by other parts later. Once the partition is fastened to the cleat, screw the angle brackets to the partitions at the top and bottom 10 in. from the back wall as shown in Photo 9. Use a framing square to ensure the partitions are perpendicular to the back wall. Once the partition is perfectly aligned, drive a screw through the brackets into the ceiling cleat and then into the bracket on the floor.
Install cleats to hold the fascia, soffit and base shelf in place
Before you screw the fascia pieces (P) between the partitions, screw a 1x2 cleat (N1 and N2) to the backside of each fascia 3/4 in. up from the bottom. Next, fasten the matching wall cleats parallel to the fascia cleat against the back wall. To finish the top of each section, cut the soffit pieces R and nail them to the cleats.
Screw 1x2 strips (U1) to the bottom of the partitions and make center floor supports (V) from scrap plywood to support the lower base shelves (Photo 15). If you have a floor heat register, remove the cover and install an extension boot (Photo 17).
Dressing up the plain boxes with the right trim makes all the difference
Photo 10: Fasten the fillets, brackets and bracket supports
Cut the fillets (Q1 through Q4) on a table saw. Sand each piece (100 grit) to soften the sharp edges. Cut and nail each piece into place with a small finish nailer. Glue and nail the brackets (K) below the fascia and fillet. Cut the lower bracket supports (S), center them below the brackets and fillet, and glue and nail them to the partition sides with the air nailer.
Photo 15: Attach base molding and cleats
Cut and nail the base molding to wrap around the face frame and partition sides. Note that you'll need small fillets to fill the gaps in the same way as you did at the top under the crown molding returns. Screw in cleats (U) 6-1/4 in. from the floor on the side of each partition. Also screw the floor cleats (V) to the floor to support the center of each base shelf (R).
Start by nailing the fillet trim (Q1 and Q2) on the bottom of the fascia. The fillet is wider than the fascia, so center it so it extends equally on the front and back of the fascia. Next, glue each bracket (K) to the partition side and nail it to the partition and to the fillet above. Working your way down the side, continue with the small fillet (Q3). Glue this small piece to the bottom of the bracket with carpenter's glue. Cut the bracket supports to fit between the fillet and the floor to support the curved bracket. These supports are designed to nestle the shelves and hide the gaps between the shelf ends and the partition sides. Cut the center seat (Photo 17) and fit the brackets and fillets underneath as shown in Fig. A (the seat height is 22 in.).
Cut the partition face frames as shown in Photo 11 and fasten them to the partitions. Notice that the plywood front of the partition becomes the background for the face frame. It's not necessary to get a tight fit against the ceiling because the crown molding will cover the ceiling joint and the exposed screws along the top of the fascia.
Crown molding can be fussy, so buy an extra piece of molding (you can always return the unused piece). The small pieces can be a bit challenging if the ceiling is irregular. The key is to cut the pieces uniformly. Draw a line right on the bed of your miter saw and always align the molding edge with the saw. Small gaps at the joints can be filled with putty and sanded, so don't drive yourself nuts seeking perfection against a ceiling that's not. Don't bother coping the crown pieces (Photo 13), because they'll be tough to fit; miter them instead.

Assemble the window seat by screwing cleats (U2) to the sides of each center partition and then nailing the seat to the cleats. Note: The seat is reinforced below by front and rear supports glued to the underside of the seat before it is nailed in place. Glue molding to the front of the seat, then nail the seat brackets and fillets in place as shown in Fig. A.
This project will tie in with the rest of the room better if you replace your existing base molding and carry it through along the bottom of the bookcase. We made a two-piece base with 1x6 capped with bifold stop for the top member. To create a small gap between the two base pieces (Photo 16 and Fig. A), we chamfered the top edge of the 1x6 and the bottom edge of the bifold stop slightly with a block plane. This lends a traditional custom molding look.
To create the secret compartment panels, cut some 12-in. blocks and glue them to the back of the 1x6 base pieces and nail the stop molding to the blocks (see Fig. A). Glue a pair of small blocks to the backside of parts S to create a stop for the secret panels. Install a magnetic cabinet latch to the center base shelf support (V) to hold the secret panel in place.
Fill all the nail holes, then sand and finish the bookcase
Sand the bookcase with 100-grit sandpaper followed by 150-grit. Paint the bookcase if you'd like or create the handsome antique finish we did. We used gel stain and mixed five parts cherry to two parts red mahogany to one part special walnut. Blend these in a separate container and apply them to the sanded surface with a clean rag. Apply enough to cover, and remove the excess after a few minutes. Gently remove just enough stain to enhance the grain pattern. A dry brush works to get the excess stain out of the corners. You can rub a bit more aggressively if you'd like to reveal some highlights or simulate wear. Let the stain dry and finish the cabinet with two coats of polyurethane varnish.

PHOENIX – The Dodgers better have bought a champagne that ages well.
With nearly every member of the front office on hand – but rookie right-hander Stephen Fife starting in place of Clayton Kershaw – the Dodgers were unable to close out the NL West, losing to the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-4 Wednesday night.
The Dodgers' magic number remains at two with one game left in Arizona and 10 games overall.
"We're fine," Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez said. "Win tomorrow. If not, win two in San Diego."
Sounds simple – but so did the plan to rest their regulars, sit on a double-digit lead and clinch the division early. But the Dodgers have now lost 10 of their past 14 and five of their past six.
"It's still a pride thing. You understand where things stand but you don't want to see them celebrate," Diamondbacks right-hander Brandon McCarthy said. "You knew coming into this season that they were our competition. They were the ones who caught and passed us. We're all aware of those things, you just don't want it – not rubbed in your face – but you just don't want to see it. If they go somewhere else and whatever happens is fine. You just don't want them to do it on your home field and have to sit there and know that it's going on. If you can get them out of here without having to see it, then all the better."
The Dodgers could have sent Kershaw to the mound to close it out Wednesday night but opted to move him back three days in the rotation to get their ace rested and lined up for the post-season.
Fife proved a poor stand-in. He had pitched just twice in the past three weeks (two relief appearances totaling five innings that did not go well) and would not have started Wednesday if left-hander Chris Capuano were healthy.
Fife faced 18 batters and allowed six hits (one a two-run home run by Dodgers nemesis Paul Goldschmidt), three walks, hit two batters and threw two wild pitches.
"It is what it is," Fife said of being put in the position of pitching to clinch the division. "At this point in the year when the magic number is two or three or whatever it is, it's on everybody's mind. Everybody in this clubhouse wants to clinch, get it over with as soon as we can. But I can't say it had a big place in my mind.
"I just didn't execute the way I should have. That goes on nobody's shoulders but mine."
That put the Dodgers in a 4-0 hole three innings into the game. The most surprising part was that it wasn't any deeper. In fact, the Diamondbacks loaded the bases in four of the first eight innings and stranded 14 baserunners in the game.
The Dodgers climbed back into it with a 442-foot solo home run by Yasiel Puig and an RBI single by Gonzalez in the fourth and an RBI double by Tim Federowicz in the seventh.
In between, a blown call at home cost them a run that looked crucial at the time. Michael Young tried to score from first on Gonzalez's sixth-inning double into the left-center field gap. Replays showed Young got his hand on home plate before Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero applied the tag. But first-base umpire Jim Joyce (running in to make the call as the umpires rotated to cover the play in the outfield) called Young out.
Gonzalez was ejected from the game for arguing the call while standing at second base.
"I just said, 'If you guys are going to switch, hustle so you're in position to make the call' and that's when he threw me out," Gonzalez said. "I could see it from second base. He got it wrong because he was not in position to make the call. If they're going to switch, hustle to get in position.
"That's why he got it wrong. It's not that he wanted to get it wrong. It's because he wasn't in position to see it."
That became less pivotal when the Diamondbacks finally broke through again, turning a one-run game into a rout by scoring five runs against Dodgers relievers Ronald Belisario and Peter Moylan in the eighth inning.
"You asked me that the other night about the past 12 games or whatever and really – those games are gone," Mattingly said of questions about his level of concern with his team's 14-game stall near the finish line. "We're sitting where we're at. We like where we're at. So it's one game at a time. Tonight's a frustrating game. But other than that, it's not really frustrating."

GSA's EXPO Classes Score with Acquisition/Procurement Professionals
May 27, 2005
Contact: Viki Reath (202) 501-1231
Washington, D.C. -- More than 6,000 federal employees attended 180-plus hours of classroom training during the U.S. General Services Administration's 11th Annual 2005 EXPO in San Diego this month.
Most classes were certified as Continuing Education Units, and 16-industry-only classes attracted more than 1,000 vendors.
The EXPO also attracted small businesses, which comprised 65 percent of the 605 businesses managing the EXPO's 1,100 exhibits.
The 9,000 industry and government acquisition and procurement professionals represented the 50 U.S. states and Canada, Mexico, Korea, Israel and Iceland.
"The GSA's EXPO was a great success again this year, because people from the acquisition community in the federal government and industry participated actively in training sessions to share best practices and lessons learned and the exhibits provided them with lots of new information about products and services available," said GSA Administrator Stephen A. Perry. "Additionally, the annual GSA EXPO is a great place for networking among the acquisition community. It is among the premier events of its type to help develop the capability of the federal acquisition workforce to provide best value to federal agencies and U.S. taxpayers."
Deirdre Lee, Director of Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), led the panel on "Proper Use of Non-DoD Contracts," one of the full range of courses offered during the May-3-5 GSA EXPO. Native American Sovereign Nations partnered with GSA on a course for Native Americans, and other courses included staples such as "GSA's Smart Pay" and "Legal Aspects of Government Contracts." GSA distributed 96,000 of its agency publications.
GSA is a centralized federal procurement, property management, and policy agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. It acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services. It also plays a key role in developing and implementing government wide policies. GSA's 12,000 associates provide services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers located in more than 8,000 government-owned and leased buildings in 2,000 U.S. communities.

In 2012, Long Beach and the surrounding area lost a number of notable residents. They came from diverse fields, from politics and philanthropy, from sports to religion, and many areas in between. They were war heroes and entertainment icons and even a couple of local "first husbands."
Here are some of the notables from the year past:
Maybe the best-known death this year was that of Latin music recording star Jenni Rivera, 43, who died Dec. 9 in a plane crash in Mexico.
Born Dolores Janney Rivera to Mexican immigrant parents and raised on Long Beach's Westside, Rivera attended Poly High until giving birth to her first child at the age of 15.
Earning international popularity in Mexico and the United States as "La Diva de la Banda," Rivera sold more than 20 million records of banda music, was a television producer and actress whose life story was well-known among her admirers. For this reason, fans flocked to sites throughout Long Beach and the Southland where they shared their grief and sang the songs of their icon.
Mervyn Dymally, a one-time janitor from Trinidad who would become a trailblazer in black politics in a 40-year career in public office, including a term as the state's first black lieutenant governor, died Oct. 7 at the age of 86.
Dymally served in both houses of the state Legislature and in Congress representing Hawthorne, Gardena, Carson, Harbor Gateway, Compton and part of South Los Angeles.
He was the state's first foreign-born black assemblyman in 1962, the first black senator in 1966, the only black lieutenant governor in 1974 and went on to win his congressional seat in 1980.
Long Beach resident Sgt. Thomas R. MacPherson, 26, was killed by small arms fire in the Ghazni Province in Afghanistan on Oct. 12, as he led an assault against an enemy position. MacPherson was born in Long Beach and enlisted in the Army in May 2007.
At the time of his death, MacPherson was on his fifth deployment, with four tours in Afghanistan and one in Iraq. MacPherson earned more than a dozen awards, including the Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal and the Purple Heart Medal posthumously.
A fixture in the Central Area and early civil rights activist in Long Beach, Viola Croom died Sept. 16 from complications of a stroke. She was 86.
Believed to be the last surviving matriarch of one of the founding families of St. Mark Baptist Church, which was established in 1944, Croom and her late husband, Rev. Joe Croom, worked closely with Ernest McBride during the formative years of the local branch of the NAACP and formed the Long Beach Anti-Discrimination Committee.
Nine-time Lakewood mayor and Councilman Larry Van Nostran died at his home Nov. 9. He was 79.
First elected to the council in 1975, he was the longest-serving council member in Lakewood's history.
Van Nostran moved to Lakewood in 1958 and was active in Lakewood civic life for over 50 years, including membership in the Elks Club, Jaycees, Kiwanis Club, Lakewood Pan American Association, and Masonic Lodge & Scottish Rite.
Bill O'Neill, best known as Long Beach's "First Husband" from his marriage to former Mayor Beverly O'Neill, died Oct. 24 after a series of illnesses. He was 81.
An academic for most of his adult life, O'Neill was the author of eight books and 75 academic articles and a leader in philosophical and social education.
The area's other "first husband," Bruce DuBois, spouse of Lakewood Mayor Diane DuBois, died unexpectedly of an aneurysm May 15. He was 76.
Born in Long Beach and a graduate of Downey High, DuBois and his wife raised a family and lived in the same Lakewood house since 1960. DuBois was a state director of the Jaycees and volunteered for Lakewood Meals on Wheels.
A leader in Long Beach's black community as a historian and educator, Indira Hale Tucker died April 8 at her home of natural causes. She was 68.
Always fascinated by personal and black history, Tucker and Aaron Day co-edited "The Heritage of African Americans in Long Beach: Over 100 Years." Tucker also co-founded the African American Heritage Society of Long Beach, home to 1,600 books and videos in Long Beach libraries, and was instrumental in the creation and development of the African American Resource Center at the Burnett Library.
She was also the wife of Marcus Tucker, Long Beach's first black municipal court judge and later a superior court judge.
A San Pedro resident, philanthropist and widow of Congressman Glenn Anderson, Lee Marie Anderson died Sept. 24 from complications of melanoma. She was 87.
After working closely with her husband throughout his political career from 1957 until his death in 1994, Lee Marie Anderson remained active as a widow. Involved with many civic and community organizations in Long Beach and the South Bay, she raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for nonprofit organizations and created the Glenn and Lee Anderson Foundation, which gave thousands of dollars in college scholarship funds to local residents.
Another spouse of a politician who gained praise for her own accomplishments was Nini Horn, 80, the wife of the late Congressman Steve Horn. She died Feb. 21 after a long battle with breast caner.
Horn worked closely with her husband during his career as president of Cal State Long Beach from 1970 to 1988 and in Congress from 1993 to 2003. While at the university, she was instrumental in raising significant funds for a number of facilities, from the Isabel Patterson Child Development Center to the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden.
She was also president of the Public Corporation for the Arts in Long Beach and helped persuade the City Council to provide funds for arts organizations.
The former executive vice chancellor for the California State University system and the first woman and African-American woman to serve as acting president of Cal State Long Beach, June Margaret Cooper died Jan. 10 from complications of Parkinson's disease. She was 78.
A longtime resident of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, she was a 30-year employee in the CSU system as a professor and administrator. She was named acting president at Cal State Long Beach in 1988 to replace Stephen Horn, who had stepped down to run for Congress. She was also and active volunteer, working with more than a dozen organizations.
Dr. Max R. Gaspar, an internationally acclaimed vascular surgeon, formerly of Long Beach, died in his Idaho home in October. He was 97.
A pioneer in his field, Gaspar was chief of vascular surgery for 25 years at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, where he also served as attending surgeon for 50 years. He also had a practice in Long Beach and performed surgeries at local hospitals.
The executive director of the Long Beach Day nursery for 22 years, Mary Beth Soth died Dec. 8 in her Lakewood Village after battling the effects of two strokes. She was 78.
As the head of the Day Nursery, which celebrated its 100 th anniversary this year, Soth launched a groundbreaking early childhood intervention program in 1984 that has helped teachers and parents better understand child behavior.
A Holocaust survivor who escaped a slave labor camp and a well-known philanthropist from Lakewood, Eugene Schlesinger died in September of congestive heart failure.
A major donor to many Jewish and Holocaust remembrance causes, Schlesinger was recognized by the Alpert Jewish Community Center in Long Beach, which unveiled a Holocaust Memorial in memory of Schlesinger and his wife, Eva, also a Holocaust survivor. The 20-foot wall commemorates the 1.5 million children who died in the Holocaust. In August, Cal State Long Beach hosted an endowed teacher training workshop in his name in which high school educators learned how to teach about the Nazi genocide.

FINISHED PROJECT: Totoro Coffee Clutch
at 7:00 AM
I definitely had a Totoro-themed Saturday and Sunday. My big project of the weekend is yet to be seen on the blog (it was a present for my favorite 2 year old), but I was so cute-d out, that I had to create something Totoro-y for myself. However, it was like 11 pm on Sunday night and I had been crocheting since Saturday afternoon, sooo - coffee clutch! Always a quick pattern.
I used all Vanna's Choice in Lion Brand yarn and an I hook. For the body of the clutch itself, I used the base from Twinkie Chan's Grumpy Octopus Coffee Cup Cozy pattern. After that I just made it up as I went!
The tummy is just one big, long white chain that I sewed onto the clutch. The eyes are a little ring of single crochets and then the black knotted a few times sewn on. He fits so perfectly on my cup. I want more more more Totoro things! What next .. a little bag, maybe?
PS - Don't forget to sign up for my giveaway! You have until this Saturday to enter!

BODY: I used Twinkie Chan's pattern, which I linked in the entry.
EYES: I think I did 6 sc in the first chain of a ch2 strand. The pupils were just a few knots in the black yarn, sewn onto the white.
BELLY: I made a super long chain and sewed it onto the body in the half oval shape.
EARS: I thiiink I did a few rows of 4sc across and ended with 1 row of 2 sc2tog.
The rest was just embroidered on!

Monica, looks like she just used that basic pattern (link above) and then 'made it up' as she went along. The mouth area seems to be slip stitch in surface crochet going around in an oval with embellishments added and circles for eyes. :-)ReplyDeleteReplies

I'm a little confused as to the assortment of setup possibilities for OpenVAS in Backtrack. I think its me not really understanding what the different modules are for. If someone could explain the following components of the system, I think I'd be on the right track.
openvassd - this is the actual scanning engine and part that sends / receives traffic to targets. it is able to accept direct connections / commands from registered users ( ? ) - e.g.: use the openVAS-Client ( guy ) to connect and send commands/tasks.
openvasmd - the manager deamon. I really don't understand what this guy does, other than he can accept connections and then relay tasks to the actual scanning component.
openvasad - the admin deamon. if we have a manager deamon, what do we need this for????
greenbone manager - starts up a http service and contains a web app that allows a user to interact with the scan engine. not sure if it connects right to the scan engine or the manager.
If anyone can clear up the official reason behind all these modules that would be super.
Also, if running on a single computer and not in a distributed multi user environment, is the best setup just to start up the openvassd ( scan deamon ) and then directly connect to it with the openVAS client GUI?? This way you can skip starting up the manager, admin , green bone web app, etc etc.???? Or are these things needed to run it efficiently even with a single user? Thanks!!!!

Salon writer: "Let's hope Boston Marathon bomber is a white American"
(Billy Hallowell) At least one writer over at Salon, a progressive media outlet, is hoping that whoever is behind the Boston Marathon bombing "is a white American." Naturally, this very public proclamation, captured in an article entitled, "Let's hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American," is nabbing attention, particularly because of the writer's claims about radical Islamic and Caucasian assailants.
Writer David Sirota's main premise, it seems, is captured just under the article's headline, where he writes that a double standard exists when dealing with terrorism and other related crimes. Whites, he believes, "are dealt with as lone wolves," while Islamists are reviled as "existential threats" in the midst of murderous crimes.
At the center of Sirota's argument is the notion of "white male privilege" — a phenomenon he laments (at least when it comes to solving and dealing with terrorism).
In the author's view, privilege determines how groups are framed, denigrated and how political reactions take form. In recent mass shootings, Sirota writes that white male privilege has protected caucasian male perpetrators from being collectively mistreated in the same way that he contends "a religious or ethnic minority group" that lacks such privilege would be. We'll let Sirota explain in his own words:
However, white male privilege means white men are not collectively denigrated/targeted for those shootings — even though most come at the hands of white dudes.
Likewise, in the context of terrorist attacks, such privilege means white non-Islamic terrorists are typically portrayed not as representative of whole groups or ideologies, but as "lone wolf" threats to be dealt with as isolated law enforcement matters. Meanwhile, non-white or developing-world terrorism suspects are often reflexively portrayed as representative of larger conspiracies, ideologies and religions that must be dealt with as systemic threats — the kind potentially requiring everything from law enforcement action to military operations to civil liberties legislation to foreign policy shifts. [...]
Because of these undeniable and pervasive double standards, the specific identity of the Boston Marathon bomber (or bombers) is not some minor detail — it will almost certainly dictate what kind of governmental, political and societal response we see in the coming weeks. That means regardless of your particular party affiliation, if you care about everything from stopping war to reducing the defense budget to protecting civil liberties to passing immigration reform, you should hope the bomber was a white domestic terrorist. Why? Because only in that case will privilege work to prevent the Boston attack from potentially undermining progress on those other issues.

Guillon pitches six hitless innings
Reds prospect gives up three walks, fans three in sixth win
By Josh Jackson / MiLB.com | August 24, 2013 8:12 PM ET
Ismael Guillon might have surprised some people with his dominant start on Saturday night, but it was exactly what those in the Reds organization have long expected of him.
"Every time he takes the mound -- and I'm being really honest with you, I really believe this -- I feel like he's a special pitcher," said Dayton pitching coach, Tony Fossas. "He's a guy who can do this all the time."
The Reds' No. 20 prospect threw six-plus no-hit innings, walking three and striking out three, in the Dragons' 6-1 victory at Lansing.
Guillon, who was added to Cincinnati's 40-man roster after post-Tommy John contract renegotiations made him eligible for the Rule 5 Draft, improved to 6-8 and lowered his ERA to 4.99 ERA in 26 Midwest League outings.
"Well, today he pitched like a 40-man roster player. He's been kind of off and on all year, but lately he's been a lot better," said Fossas, who spent 12 seasons in the Major Leagues. "Tonight his fastball was up to 94 and it had really good life down in the zone. He had good downhill action and he was able to throw strikes. He had a really impressive outing tonight.
"That's the kind of kid we've always known we have. He's a young left-hander. Last year, he had a good season, but this year he got off to a slow start. I don't know the reason or what caused it. All I know is, right now, he's throwing the ball really well, like the pitcher we knew we had and like we still know we have."
Guillon retired the first 10 Lugnuts before walking Emilio Guerrero, who he promptly picked off. Fossas wasn't sure whether Dragons manager Jose Nieves had called for the throw to first, but he knew it was a good idea.
"[Guillon] does a good job with the running game," Fossas said, "and he's got a real good move to first."
The 21-year-old native of Venezuela was perfect through the sixth. He came out for the seventh but was lifted after giving up back-to-back walks.
"Even though nobody wants to admit it and nobody would say anything, I think it was that he knew his pitch count was coming to an end and he knew he had a no-hitter," Fossas said. "I think thinking about those things, he started speeding up his delivery and he went back to some of the signs of what he experienced in the past."
According to his pitching coach, though, those troubles are behind Guillon, who's less likely to encounter them each time he takes the mound.
"His last time out, he pitched four innings the same way [as tonight], but then he hit a bump in the road and kind of lost it," Fossas said. "He's that kind of kid. The more he throws, the more experience he gets, he's going to be the kind of guy who does this all the time."
Wandy Peralta replaced Guillon and issued another walk in the seventh, then got a fly ball and a double play to keep the no-hitter intact.
Lansing, which has been no-hit three times this season, broke through against Peralta as Daniel Klein led off the eighth with his third homer of the season.
Daniel Pigott doubled twice and drove in four runs for Dayton, while Seth Mejias-Brean went 2-for-3 with a walk and a pair of runs scored.

Hi everyone, i have a problem with my wireless card.
I cant get an ip by using dhclient, but this only happens when i am alredy logged in.
If i put the following in /etc/rc.local it works.
It is extrange because when i am alredy logged in, it says there were no DHCPOFFERS. But when those commands are executed on the bootprocess, dhclient gives me an ip.Code:
iwconfig wlan0 essid "cuore"
iwconfig wlan0 key 2323232323
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhclient wlan0
I can do pretty much everything when im logged in (scan networks, inject traffic, monitor mode, etc). The only thing that doesnt work when logged in, is actually making the connection.
I have even tried to put the ip manually but it also doesnt work.
The card is alredy connect because of the /etc/rc.local instructions.Code:

Helen hath no Fury
Another in the Amanda Pepper series of Gillian Roberts' Philadelphia-based novels. This was a great book for a vacation or sitting poolside.
