LONG BEACH — Despite strong opposition from union officials and several City Council members, the Long Beach Harbor Commission voted 3-1 Monday to accept a $25.2 million bid by Helix Electric Inc. for a shore-to-ship power retrofit project.
The decision had been delayed more than two months, during which Port staff investigated a litany of complaints, including safety concerns, poor treatment of employees and shoddy workmanship that led to blackouts at Pier T. Port staff, however, had recommended awarding the contract.
The San Diego electrical contractor will work on a project that creates facilities to allow ships to plug in to dockside electrical power and avoid running their engines, which adds to pollution.
However, the approval was tempered at best and rife with subtext.
Wise, the board president who voted in favor of Helix, prefaced her vote by saying "I have found things that give me concern" and added her support as a commissioner was "not the same as if I were choosing a contractor for myself."
She added, "I know there is a lot that hasn't been said, but I have to work with what's in front of me."
Commissioner Nick Sramek, another proponent, said, "I don't have anything that jumps out at me and says they're not responsible."
Almost as soon as staff recommended Helix's bid on Feb. 27, the comments came pouring in. Monday's vote came on the heals of a March 27 public hearing to gather information and an analysis and report of the staff findings based on the information.
At Monday's meeting, a large crowd consisting mostly of union members came to the meeting to show their opposition.
In a rare display of political involvement, five council members voiced concerns about the project.
Council members Suja Lowenthal and Gerrie Schipske went personally to display their opposition, and council members Robert Garcia and Steven Neal sent representatives to urge "no" votes. Councilman Patrick O'Donnell had a spokesperson enter concerns about the vote, but didn't take a position.
After more than two hours of presentations, discussion and comments in support of the contract from Helix's employees and in opposition from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and others, the vote was cast.
Commissioners Sramek, Wise and Thomas Fields voted in favor of Helix, and Doug Drummond was opposed. Commissioner Rich Hines didn't vote.
Sramek agreed with Wise that he had concerns and insisted that "safety and quality is paramount."
Technically, the board was voting to affirm the findings of port staff, which was reported by Al Moro, chief harbor engineer, that Helix was a "responsible bidder" for $25.2 million.
Much of the concern about Helix revolved around faulty work it has done for the Port at Pier T where, among other things, the failure of some of the wiring led to blackouts.
Of particular concern, Helix had used aluminum rather than copper fittings for splices on a wiring project. The aluminum corroded and the splices failed.
Moro said despite allegations against Helix and "some quality of work that was lacking," they "were not to a point that finds Helix a nonresponsible contractor."
Attorney Beth Garfield for the IBEW said Helix had a history of cost overruns, safety violations, unfair treatment of employees, a history of litigiousness and blaming others for its failures.
"The evidence is overwhelming," Garfield said, adding that to approve Helix "would do a great disservice to customers and the public."
Lowenthal said Helix wasn't a good corporate citizen and untrustworthy.
Schipske said she "wanted to keep an open mind" but found Garfield's presentation convincing and opposed Helix. She also suggested the city try to recoup money the city lost due to the substandard work at Pier T.
Brian Jordan, Helix executive vice president, and attorney Randolph Finch refuted Garfield's claims.
Jordan said Helix is an industry leader in quality and safety. He also noted the Helix is the electrical subcontractor for the George Deukmejian Courthouse, currently under construction in Long Beach.
"This project is in our wheelhouse," Jordan said.
Finch pointed out that Helix is the 15 th largest electrical contractor in the U.S. with $3 billion in projects and that it had never been found as non-responsible.
Several Helix employees who live in and near Long Beach spoke on Helix's behalf, saying the company was fair, safe and supportive and provided good training and education.
When the time came to vote, Drummond moved that Helix be found non-responsible and that the project be awarded to Schimmick Construction, which turned in a bid of about $28.5 million. His motion wasn't seconded.

Post subject: Cowboy fan says your draft sucks!
I was wanting the Eagles to trade up with some of there picks the players in rounds 2-4 will just as good as the ones picked in the middle to late of the first round. Instead you kept all of your picks and improved your team. If you can get the TO problem solved you will have a much better team than the last year. What made the draft even worse was that alot of the player you got I wanted Dallas to get. Brown, Moats, Considine and Herremans. I would wish you good luck next year but you will not need it. One last than trade F. Mitchell to the Deadskins they need each other.

Post subject: draft and freddie
I believe that the eagles did not have a good draft. I think peterson is too small, brown was not the best of the georgia receivers, what about that stupid trade down with SF and why that slow free safety?
Now Dallas used their two number ones in a great manner. They got some good players
Although freddie has a big mouth, he certainly did well against Atlanta. Remember 2 touchdowns!!
Well, we will see!

First, it was 2 touchdowns against minnesota for freddie, and second, never question andy reid. He knows what hes doing and he thinks, along with every expert, that the eagles had a really good draft, so thats good enough for me.
I've been telling everybody that if you just give me a chance to put the ball in my hands, I can get the job done.

Cowboys had 2 picks in the 1st round, why shouldnt they have a good draft. Definitely good pick ups for their Defense. I rather have Meriman then Ware, but Spears is a solid starter for years to come. I dont know much about the players the birds drafted. I thought they were going to grab Shaun Cody instead of Patterson, oh well. If Matt Jones fell to the 31st pick, I think they would grab him there and possibly grab Patterson with ours first 2nd round pick.
I know Hawthrone has issues with the whole Mary Jane thing, but he would been a steal with our 5th round compensatory pick. Cant wait to see the rookies in action

Post subject: Eagles Picks
I'm a Dallas fan through and through, so the whole time I write this I'm swallowing my pride and looking at it from an outsiders standpoint. I don't know if the Eagles had the best draft this year, but they have proven that the players they pick fit their scheme beautifully. Shaun Cody was the more publicized DT's from USC, but I think Mike Patterson is going to have a better career. Cody is a DT/DE "tweener" who would have been better of going to a team that employs a 3-4 scheme, but instead will be used as either an undersized DT, or a "slow" DE. Mike Patterson is much shorter than Cody, about 4 inches, but he is almost the same weight, which means he will have an extremely low center of gravity, and will have an unbelievable advantage when it comes to leverage over bigger O-Lineman. Reggie Brown may not have been the Bulldog who got the most yards during his years at georgia, but he is exactly what the Eagles needed. He is an extremely fast receiver who will stretch the field and give T.O. much more room to dominate across the middle. I don't know much about "Herrimans"??? the guy from Saginaw Valley State, so I can't really comment on him too much, but if they traded up to get him, I would assume he's gonna be a guy who surprises a lot of people. Consadine is a guy that will probably end up being a real good pick for them, but I don't know his true position. He doesn't have blazing speed, and isn't exactly a real ballhawk, but in that talented secondary he may not have to do all that much. Also, he will be playing behind Brian Dawkins and Michael Lewis, so he has a couple years to learn the nuances of the position and develop his game the way the Eagles need him to.
Whoo...as a Dallas fan that was pretty hard. But now back to being the "annoying Cowboy fan" we are all portrayed as being...THE COWBOYS STILL HAD A BETTER DRAFT!!!
Julius Jones is the REAL DEAL!!!

It seems that as we become more and more tied to our digital devices, we become more and more nostalgic for the technology of simpler times.
Take Instagram for example. Love it or hate it, Instagram takes sterile digital photos and gives them the feel of something that you picked up at a Fotomat in the 1970s.
While the look is cool, nothing can ever replace those hours - or days - of waiting for a roll of film from your Kodak Instamatic to come back from a processor.
With Instagram you shoot a picture, put a digital filter on it and post it online for everyone to check out - all in a matter of seconds.
And, while the result looks a lot like something pasted into a scrapbook and long ago filed away in a dusty corner of the closet, Instagram photos - however cool - have nothing of the secondary appeal carried by mid-century personal photography.
Back then, getting a picture was almost like getting a Christmas present or opening an Easter egg. You anticipated opening the package, then experienced the joy and horror of rummaging through the photos.
The other thing that digital photography can never replace is the experience of taking out a package of photos and sharing them at the dinner table with your family.
Sure you can put your pictures on a website and maybe your friends and family will make snarky comments on them. But in the end, the photos secretly become the property of that website and you are left with no body of work to pass down through generations.
How do I know this?
Well I've got boxes and boxes of old photos at home, some date back to the Civil War - and they are way cooler to handle than to look at online. And, because they've been passed down they are far more personally meaningful than bits and pixles arranged in pleasing patterns.
By no means am I against digital photography. I love taking pictures and posting them online. And, having learned that Instragram is now available as an app in the Android store, I plan on downloading a copy and taking pictures with it.
Even though the only two Fotomats I know of for sure have been converted to other uses - one sells cigarettes for $4.50 a pack, the other sells cheap cell phone chargers - there is a way to relive the whole experience of having photographs.
Costco - for example - will print your digital photo from what ever chip you have for something like 13-cents a shot. I think Walmart has a similar service.
During a visit to Costco Saturday I had more than 100 photos processed - in less than an hour - for less than $15.
The best part of the deal? Seeing the smiles on the faces of the kids in our house when I showed them real photos of themselves. Who needs Instagram?
And there's some joy in knowing they'll save the relics like I've saved all my old family photos.

'"He's just a real smart defenseman who skates really well," said interim coach Ron Rolston. "A good puck mover, good defender. He's got a complete game. He really keeps the game easy on himself. He's real efficient. This will be his third game in three nights here so making sure he controls his anxiety and plays the way he can will be important."'

I need help tracking down the Pali source of this. I could not find it in the book of nines. The discourse was taught to King Kosala Pasenadi after he had forgotten to offer alms to the 500 monks he had invited. Only Ven Ānanda continued to visit his palace for alms by the third day without receiving food.
Monks should call on a benefactor and visit his house if the benefactor was endowed with nine qualities:
1. He stands up and welcomes him courteously.
2. He pays homage by bowing.
3. He allocates a suitable seat with reverence.
4. He does not hide things that he owns.
5. He donates generously, according to his means.
6. He donates the best of what he has.
7. He gives the donation respectfully.
8. He sits close to listen to the Dhamma attentively, and
9. He listens to the teachings with enthusiasm.
The Buddha then related a Jātaka story, which I also need to identify.

ROCK HILL, S.C. – The Brevard College men's basketball team has been picked to finish 9th in the South Atlantic Conference in 2012-13, it was announced by the league office on Wednesday.
Wingate has been picked by the league's coaches as the preseason favorite to win the conference title. The Bulldogs are coming off a 2011-12 season in which they went 21-12 overall and finished third in the regular season SAC standings at 13-5. WU got hot late, winning the SAC Tournament championship and advancing to the regional semifinals of the NCAA Division II Men's Basketball Championship.
Wingate received five first-place votes in the poll.
Just behind Wingate in the preseason poll was Lincoln Memorial, which garnered two first-place votes. The Railsplitters went 26-6 overall last season, and their 14-4 SAC record was the league's second-best.
LMU earned an at-large bid to the 2012 NCAA Division II Men's Basketball Championship, advancing to the regional semifinals before falling to eventual regional champion Montevallo. Among the team's returnees is forward Vincent Bailey, who was a second-team All-SAC selection last season after averaging 10.7 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.
Newberry is third in the preseason poll and received one first-place vote. The Wolves rode a young team to a fourth-place finish in the SAC standings and a trip to the SAC Championship semifinals last season, going 16-12 overall.
Reigning SAC Freshman of the Year Dondray Walker is back for Newberry after averaging 16.4 points per game in 2011-12.
No. 4 in the preseason poll is Carson-Newman, which returns 2011-12 All-SAC Second Team picks Ishmael Sanders and Antoine Davis. The Eagles are followed by defending SAC regular-season champion Anderson at No. 5.
AU, which went 17-1 in the SAC and finished one win shy of a second-straight trip to the NCAA Elite Eight last season, will once again be led by guard Denzail Jones, the 2011-12 SAC Player of the Year.
Carson-Newman and Anderson each received one first-place vote in the poll.
Lenoir-Rhyne is No. 6 in the poll, followed by No. 7 Tusculum, No. 8 Catawba, No. 9 Brevard and No. 10 Mars Hill.

In-camera trial ordered, gag order on media
A Delhi court on Monday ordered in-camera trial of the Delhi gangrape case and restrained the media from reporting and publishing trial proceedings, Upasana Mukherjee reports.delhi Updated: Sep 08, 2013 14:49 IST
A Delhi court on Monday ordered in-camera trial of the Delhi gangrape case and restrained the media from reporting and publishing trial proceedings.
Metropolitan Magistrate (MM) Namrita Aggarwal said, "It is the case of virtually a crowd occupying every inch of space in the court room even to the extent of standing next to the reader and stenographer."
The magisterial court took cognizance of the chargesheet on Saturday and had issued production warrants for the five accused for Monday. The matter will come up for hearing on January 10. A copy of the chargesheet has been provided to the accused.Allowing the police plea for conducting in-camera proceedings, Aggarwal shared the apprehension raised by the public prosecutor regarding the safety of the undertrial prisoners. She quoted the Saket court complex's lock-up in-charge, who said that he was unable to bring the accused in the court for want of safe passage or room in the courtroom.
Demanding the court function as an open court, some lawyers challenged the magisterial order before District Judge (DJ) RK Gauba, seeking to lift the ban on reporting the case. DJ Gauba issued notice to the Delhi Police and put up the matter for hearing on January 9.
The 23-year-old student, who was with her male friend, was gangraped and assaulted by five men and a juvenile on a moving bus in the Capital on December 16.
The court said: "An unprecedented situation has arisen where the members of the bar and public persons even unconnected with the case have started converging in the courtroom where the matter is going on, since 12 noon. The court room has become jam-packed with lots of disturbance created from different nooks and corners."
The five accused named in the chargesheet are -- Ram Singh, his brother Mukesh, Pawan Gupta, Vinay Sharma and Akshay Thakur.
They have been charged with kidnapping, gangrape, unnatural sex, murder, attempt to murder, dacoity, wrongful confinement and criminal conspiracy and destruction of evidence under the Indian Penal Code.
The sixth accused is a juvenile.

Jerry Owen, on the the vineyard side, and David O'Reilly, who makes the wine, have formed Owen Roe with a simple purpose: to produce excellent wines from grapes grown and cultivated in the best vineyards in the Pacific Northwest. We have selected top quality grapes from vineyards chosen because they are in areas that ripen fruit fully, and the fruit has excellent acidity and ph balance. These vineyards are in the Willamette, Mid-Columbia, Yakima, and Walla Walla valleys. Each vineyard is contracted by the acre, with strict controls on yields and vine development. The same high principles are found in the winery. We allow only minimal handling, racking by gravity, and excellent cooperage. From the fruit to the bottle, cork, and label, Owen Roe aims for the very best.
Each of the sites we work with are tendered by true craftsmen of the viticultural trade. The principle of good earth stewardship is very important to everyone we work with, so no herbicides or pesticides are used in our vineyards. View all Owen Roe Wines
About Columbia ValleyView a map of Columbia Valley wineries
Columbia Valley is the largest of Washington State's wine growing regions, with almost 11 million acres. It encompasses a number of smaller regions, including Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Red Mountain and more. The vast area consists of a range of climates, allowing viticulturists to plant a diverse selection of grape varieties. Most wineries plant rows sparsely, which helps the vines survive the harsh winters.

The Koch brothers -- David and Charles -- are the right-wing billionaire co-owners of Koch Industries. As two of the richest people in the world, they are key funders of the right-wing infrastructure, including the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and the State Policy Network (SPN).

Ties to the Koch Brothers
In 2012, Alexis Stoymenoff of the Vancouver Observer reported that The Fraser Institute accepted $500,000 from the Koch Brothers in a four year period. She wrote:
- According to U.S. tax documents, The Fraser Institute received $150,000 from the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation in 2008, $175,500 in 2009, and another $150,000 in 2010. The grants were purportedly for "research support" and "educational programs".[1]
Before 2008, The Fraser Institute received $25,000 from the Claude R. Lambe Foundation which is a subsidiary of the Koch Family Foundations[2].
Interest in Canadian oil, particularly the Keystone XL Pipeline, may be the point of interest for the Koch Brothers involvement with The Fraser Institute, according to Inside Climate News. "Inside Climate News" Reported that the [[Koch Brothers would gain significantly from increased oil imports from Canada.[3]Despite the political repercussions of the Koch Brothers contributions to the Fraser Institute, the organization maintains its claim as "non-partisan" and "non-political".[4]
Ties to the American Legislative Exchange Council
In August 2011, Dr. Gerry Angevine, Senior Economist in the Institute's Global Resource Center, spoke at the Energy, Environment and Agriculture Task Force meeting at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) 2011 annual meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana.[5]
|About ALEC
ALEC is a corporate bill mill. It is not just a lobby or a front group; it is much more powerful than that. Through ALEC, corporations hand state legislators their wishlists to benefit their bottom line. Corporations fund almost all of ALEC's operations. They pay for a seat on ALEC task forces where corporate lobbyists and special interest reps vote with elected officials to approve "model" bills.

In 1974, a group of academics and business executives, concerned about big government, founded the Fraser Institute.[6]
At the time, there were concerns about the institute's agenda given that one of those who helped set it up, Michael Walker, an economist from the University of Western Ontario, had received financial support from the forestry giant, MacMillan-Bloedel. To allay these charges, the Fraser Institute stated that its research priorities would not be determined by its funders but by its staff, that the staff of the institute would not engage in political activity, not its funders, and that its conclusions would not be shaped to favour any political or economic group.[6].
In his book Thinking the unthinkable, Richard Cockett outlined that Antony Fisher, who founded the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) played a critical role in the development of the Fraser Institute. "On the strength of his reputation with the IEA, he was invited in 1975 to become co-director of the Fraser Institute in Vancouver, founded by the Canadian businessman Pat Boyle in 1974. Fisher let the young director of the Fraser Institute, Dr Michael Walker, get on with the intellectual output of the Institute (just as he had given free reign to Seldon and Harris at the IEA) while he himself concentrated on the fund-raising side," Cockett wrote.[7]
On page 2 of its 2005 Annual Report, the Fraser Institute features a photograph of Michael Walker with US Vice President Dick Cheney at the Eisenhower Administration Building, followed by a photograph of Canada's "future Prime Minister" Stephen Harper attending the Institute's annual general meeting.
The Fraser Institute's list of Senior Fellows includes Tom Flanagan, originally of Ottawa (Illinois), who is a professor of political science at the University of Calgary. Tom Flanagan was campaign manager to Prime Minister Stephen Harper when he headed Canada's newly formed Conservative Party in federal elections in 2004, and then again in 2005, when the Conservatives won a minority in government.[citation needed]
Other senior fellows of the institute have been deeply involved in political activity. Preston Manning is the founder of the right-wing Reform Party in Canada, which later merged with the Progressive Conservative Party to form the new Conservative Party, led by Stephen Harper who became Prime Minister in 2006. Former Conservative Premier of the province of Ontario, Mike Harris, is also a fellow at the Fraser Institute.[6].
There are also questions about how much the institute's work is shaped by its corporate funders. In 1999, the Fraser Institute sponsored two conferences on the tobacco industry: "Junk Science, Junk Policy? Managing Risk and Regulation" and "Should government butt out? The pros and cons of tobacco regulation."[6].
More recently, the Fraser Institute has led the campaign to deny the science behind and the dangers of climate change, with several of its fellows and authors signing letters to political leaders and writing Op Eds to that effect. ExxonMobil donates to the Fraser Institute for "climate change" work. Professor [[Ross McKitrick, author of the popular book that denies climate change Taken By Storm and known for his opposition to the Endangered Species Act in Canada, is also a senior fellow at the Fraser Institute.
An article by Donald Gutstein of Simon Fraser University examines recent rises in funding for the Fraser Institute. [5]
The Fraser Institute has sought and received funding from several tobacco companies, including Rothmans, British American Tobacco and Philip Morris, according to a 2000 letter found in the tobacco industry documents.[6]
In 2003 Fraser Institute income was $6,620,038. In its annual report it discloses that 52% was from unspecified foundations, 38% from unspecified "organizations" (presumably corporations) and only 10% from individuals.
"During the year, the Institute approached prospective donors to support over 50 specific projects including student seminars, teachers' workshops, the elementary and secondary school report cards, environmental studies, aboriginal studies, globalization studies, global warming and the Kyoto Protocol, fiscal studies, economic freedom, managing risk and regulation, pharmaceutical and health care studies, CANSTATS, and democratic reform," it states in its 2003 annual report. [7]
While ExxonMobil discloses in it annual statements that it contributed $60,000 to the organisation to work on "Climate Change", the Fraser Institute does not explicitly disclose the contribution. [8]
According to Media Transparency between 1985 and 2003 the Fraser Institute has received 30 grants totalling $ 403,301 (unindexed for inflation) from the following U.S. foundations:
- Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation
- Sarah Scaife Foundation
- Charles G. Koch Family Foundation
- Claude R. Lambe Charitable Foundation
- John M. Olin Foundation
- Carthage Foundation [9]
Climate Change Denial
The Fraser Institute has published material skeptical of climate change science since at least 2001, which marks the publication of Global Warming: A Guide to the Science by Willie Soon and Sallie L. Baliunas The abstract states: "There is no clear evidence, nor unique attribution, of the global effects of anthropogenic CO2 on climate."
Kenneth Green held the positions of Chief Scientist and Director of Centre for Studies in Risk, Regulation, and Environment at the Fraser Institute from 2002 to 2005. While at the Institute, Kenneth Green published many anti-Kyoto and climate change skeptical articles, notably the "Science Isn't Settled: The limitations of climate change models", together with Tim Ball and Steven Schroeder.
As reported in the Vancouver Sun [10]: "The Fraser Institute received $120,000 US from ExxonMobil in 2003-'04, according to the company's annual report. [Fraser Institute President Michael] Walker said the funding paid for the work of researcher Ken Green."
The Fraser Institute published a so-called Independent Summary for Policymakers (ISPM) on Feb. 5, 2007, just after the release of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Summary for Policy Makers (part of the Fourth Assesment Report on Climate Change). Economist and Fraser Institute Senior Fellow Ross McKitrick served as co-ordinator of the ISPM [11]. Desmogblog leaked a late draft of the Fraser Institute ISPM in the runup to the IPCC official release [12].

Bon Jovi drummer back with the band
Listen to Bon Jovi on iHeartRadio
One absent member of Bon Jovi is now back in the fold.
The band says in a website post that Tico Torres took his place behind the drum kit for their show in Fresno, California Wednesday night. The group adds that he "played the full two-hour and 20-minute set!" A couple of photos of Torres performing accompanies the post.
Tico, who just celebrated his 60th birthday on Monday, had been sidelined for nearly a month with health problems. Bon Jovi had to postpone their September 10th concert in Mexico City at the last minute when Torres developed appendicitis, and needed to undergo an emergency appendectomy.
Ten days later - as Bon Jovi set to relaunch their tour at Rock in Rio in Brazil - Torres was back in the hospital, this time for emergency gall bladder surgery. The band still resumed their tour, tapping drummer Rich Scanella to fill in.
However, Bon Jovi hasn't reunited yet with estranged guitarist Richie Sambora. He abruptly left the tour in April, reportedly due to "personal issues." Guitarist Phil "Phil X" Xenidis has been filling in. Bon Jovi's "Because We Can" tour will continue with a show in Los Angeles Friday night.

PHILADELPHIA – The Penn women's tennis team starts off its spring season on Saturday with a pair of matches. The first half of the doubleheader begins at noon as the Quakers face off against a very young Lehigh team that is coming off a tough 2012 spring. In the afternoon match, set to start at 4 p.m., the Red and Blue match up with Big 5 rival Saint Joseph's, who finished last season with a 2-9 conference record in the Atlantic 10.
In addition to making their spring season debut, the Quakers have a young doubles pair that took the ITA by storm this fall. Currently ranked first in the Northeast region, and No. 14 in the country, Sonya Latycheva and Sol Eskenazi will have large targets on their backs all season long. The freshman and sophomore duo posted a 10-2 record in the fall, and advanced all the way to the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships, where they went 2-2 and made the consolation semi-finals.
Head coach Sanela Kunovac is looking forward to having more time to work with these two budding stars, and is not shy about her NCAA aspirations for the young duo either.
Penn has never lost to Lehigh, posting an overall 13-0 edge in the all-time series – the Quakers are 10-0 at home against the Mountain Hawks in a series that dates back to the 1985 season. The last time these two teams met was on March 15 of last season at the Hamlin Tennis Center. The Red and Blue demolished Lehigh, 7-0, giving them a run of six straight shutouts in the series.
Co-captains Stephanie Do and Jules Rodin will lead the way along with Eskenazi in the singles draw. Rodin, after seeing no action in the fall, will make her debut in the spring and look to start off her final campaign as a Quaker with a win.
In doubles, along with the Eskenazi-Latycheva pair, the duo of Alex Ion and Jaime Yapp-Shing will contribute after a successful fall in which they posted a 3-1 record together. But according to Kunovac, she will mix up the pairings all season.
Saint Joseph's
Despite their closeness in proximity, the Quakers and Hawks have only faced each other twice, and not since 2011. Both matches took place at the Levy Tennis Pavilion – both ended, 7-0, in favor of Penn. Although Saint Joseph's did not have the most successful season in 2012, they had a rather promising fall, suggesting they may present a bit of a challenge for the Red and Blue.

Rihanna tweet leads to Thai bar owner arrest
Listen to Rihanna on iHeartRadio
Willfully or not, Rihanna appears to be playing crime fighter on Twitter.
The Thailand newspaper the "Phuket Gazette" says authorities arrested a bar owner over the weekend after the pop star tweeted lurid details about a sex show she witnessed at the Phuket bar.
Rihanna said she was "traumatized" by what she saw. The Thai newspaper says the owner was arrested for operating an entertainment venue without a permit and for providing a lewd show.
It's not the first time one of Rihanna's tweets has led to an arrest in Thailand. Last month she posted a link on Twitter to an Instagram photo showing her posing with the squirrel-like primate known as the slow loris, which is a protected species in Thailand. Police there arrested two men for selling photo ops with the animal.
Bad gal Riri to the rescue!

b+w house, minneapolis
julie snow architects
Architect Julie Snow, FAIA, and her clients conceived the concrete-enclosed ground level of this Minneapolis house after a visit to Donald Judd's boxy sculptures in Marfa, Texas. Judd's work inspired the walls that extend past the building envelope to surround a landscaped garden, providing privacy on a tight lot. "The project works with the scale of the neighborhood and the close proximity of the neighbors," a judge said.
It's not easy to achieve a sense of lightness in a concrete house, but Snow managed to do so by using wood and plaster for the upper level and by opening up the garden-facing wall with glass doors. This latter strategy basically doubles the first floor's living space. The owners can even enjoy their garden during Minneapolis' frigid winters, thanks to an outdoor firepit. "The house is an urban sanctuary," Snow says.

Tuesday night, Career Services hosted "What Kind of Law Will You Practice?" a panel featuring seven Princeton alumni with legal degrees. Around thirty undergraduates attended, and the alumni shared their experiences in law school and beyond.
The majority of the event was given over to the alumni to describe their career trajectories and offer advice. Among the panel, there were several unconventional paths to law school, including Chris Colvin '88, who was an MAE major at Princeton and Jason Eaddy '98, who worked in computer science before obtaining a law degree through night school. "It took my parents a good five, six years to understand what I do for a living," Eaddy said, who now consults with lawyers on technology-related cases.
The panel also included two alumni who work in criminal law. Facing a question from the audience about the possibility of becoming jaded as a public defender, Arthur Hopkirk '81 and Isabel McGinty *82 offered words of encouragement. Both agreed that working as a public defender was a very tough field. "There's no let-up…in criminal law, it is people's lives," McGinty said. Hopkirk said it can be difficult to find fulfillment in public defense if you want to win cases, since even the best lose 80 – 90% of their cases. Instead, "you have to really take internal satisfaction," Hopkirk said.
Two panelists who talked about the reality of debt incurred over law school were Christina Keddie '03 and Ani Mason '00. Keddie was drawn to law school as "the extended Robbie George experience." She now works as a labor and employment lawyer, saying that nonprofit work may not pay enough to effectively manage the debt. In contrast, Mason was able to obtain scholarships because she was interested in human rights.
Mason also said networking through the Alumni Careers Network was instrumental in building her career. At any point in her career, she was trying to develop relationships with people in the field. Colvin, who founded two networking companies, supported this view. "Network now, and network for your entire careers," Colvin said.
Though the panel distributed a lot of information on the difficulties of law school and a legal career, Zachary Goldstein '05 was optimistic for the attendees' future: "You go to Princeton. It's up to you."
For those looking for more information about law school, Lyon Zabsky is Career Services' pre-law advisor. She was present at the event and can answer more detailed questions about law school applications.

Jordan Wynn's football career with the University of Utah is over, leaving behind a Utah offense that is alive, if not entirely well.
The Utes, who announced Monday that Wynn has decided to give up football rather than attempt a fourth return from a shoulder injury, believe both senior Jon Hays and freshman Travis Wilson can run Brian Johnson's offense.
But which guy will be running it Saturday has yet to be determined, according to coach Kyle Whittingham.
The two will battle for the starting role this week.
"It's just a matter of the best man winning," Whittingham said.
Wynn badly wanted to be that guy this year after a third shoulder surgery, the second on his left arm. Unfortunately for the junior, a hit he suffered at the end of the second quarter in Friday's 27-20 overtime loss at Utah State was enough to knock him out of the game.
After consulting with his father and Whittingham, Wynn decided to call an end to his career.
It's likely he will have yet another surgery, according to Whittingham.
"He fought the good fight but enough is enough," the Utah coach said.
Wynn, who did not make himself available for media interviews, will remain with the team and assist Hays and Wilson this year.
The immediate need is to get them both ready to face BYU a week after the Utes played one of their worst games of the Whittingham era. Utah bounced back from a loss last year to beat the Cougars 54-10, but Whittingham noted that game was played under different circumstances.
"It was a different feeling," he said. "We went down to USC and played well and executed well for the most part. This week, it was complete shambles as far as how we executed."
If there was any consolation for the Utes, it is that Hays can't be blamed for much, if any, of the shambles.
The senior finished Friday's game 12 for 26 for 154 yards and a touchdown. The Utes were just 2 of 17 on third down conversions, but Hays wasn't the only one at fault since Utah didn't perform well in any phase of the game, Whittingham said.
The offensive line was porous in pass protection and the run game was ineffective. John White ran for 96 yards, but needed 27 carries, prompting Whittingham to call it a "complete stalemate."
So which guy gets to lead the Utes out of this mess? Hays has the upper hand based on experience, although it's a slim margin, Whittingham said.
"The gap is very small in practice and scrimmages," he said. "But you act differently when you are 'the guy.' Travis has been the supplemental guy. He has handled that role well, but it's different when you are 'the guy.'"
That Hays could be Utah's starter again normally would elicit groans from Utah fans everywhere, but he has improved immensely from a year ago and runs the offense with more command.
Following Friday's game, Hays said he was ready to lead the Utes.
"I feel good about this offense," he said. "I'll get with coach [Brian] Johnson and get ready for BYU, but I'm confident in this offense."
At 6-foot-6, 220 pounds, Wilson looks like a quarterback ready to play for a Pac-12 team. He just needs experience and will get plenty more in the future, Whittingham said.
"He has to take care of the football, not put it on the ground, not throw it to the other color and show complete command of the offense, and he has done all that," Whittingham said of Wilson. "There is nothing other than experience that he hasn't demonstrated."
And waiting in the wings in case of an emergency? Freshman Adam Schulz. The Muskego, Wis., native arrived at Utah as a walk-on, but earned a scholarship this summer.
Wynn's collegiate career started with such promise, with his rookie season culminating in an MVP performance in the Poinsettia Bowl win over California, but finished with injury milestones rather than achievements in his bio.
Utah's players hadn't heard of Wynn's decision before Monday afternoon, but none acted surprised.
"My heart goes out to him," tight end Dallin Rogers said. "It's a tough situation."
Jon Hays
6-0, 208, Sr.
The good • Hays has experience running Utah's offense and was cool under pressure at Utah State.
The bad • While he is durable, Hays isn't as dangerous a runner as Wilson is.
The unknown • Hays has improved a lot since 2011, but has he improved enough to take Utah's offense where it needs to go?
Travis Wilson
6-6, 220, Fr.
The good • Wilson has very quick feet for a guy his size and also knows the offense relatively well since he participated in spring ball.
The bad • The majority of his snaps in games have resulted in handoffs. He did throw one 28-yard touchdown pass to Kenneth Scott Friday.
The unknown • Can he keep a cool head and run the offense efficiently in difficult situations?

It was a quarter past ten, thirty minutes before the odd-job man was wont to meet the lady of his heart.
Two days he'd paint, and two days he'd odd-job, and two days he'd fish.
Tony went to cleanse his hands, leaving the odd-job man chuckling.
They become villa parasites and odd-job men, and grow basely rich and buy gramophones.
The odd-job man mildly whispered the equivalent of "How very annoying!"
These, with a few hands at lambing time, and two or three odd-job men at the central station, make up the whole staff.
Besides this, he had glided into a sort of apprenticeship to the odd-job line of business, and was very useful to his principal.
Regardless of Mrs. Peters' late instructions, the odd-job man dropped a generous portion of grass and stood transfixed.
Mr. Magnet and Toupee had gone to stare at the monoplane; they were presently joined by the odd-job man in an interrogative mood.
The odd-job man, congratulating himself on extraordinary cunning, bent forward and essayed a kiss of welcome.

Grief is a normal process, one we all must go through to move through our sorrow and heal. But it is a also a process in which we can become stuck in ways that cause us to remain stuck in our pain, limiting our ability to move forward in our lives. You might be avoiding or resisting the sadness of your loss, experiencing extreme guilt or depression, or feeling immobilized by your grief. As you work through your grief, you will begin to feel more connected to the world and, although you will never forget your loss, you will work through your grief in a way that allows you to feel whole again and to move through the world in healthier ways.

Grief and Loss are an inevitable part of adult life, and it is not unusual for people to have experienced significant losses in childhood, as well. These are profound life experiences, which can leave people stuck in a prolonged state of depression, anxiety, trauma, melancholy...or any combination, or all of these. Also, any new losses can be charged with unresolved issues from previous losses. Therefore, as painful as it is, when you are going through your time of grief and loss, I hope you will let me guide you through the process of working through, learning how to cope with these kinds of experiences & mine wisdom from your suffering, but also to complete the grieving of old losses.

When grief and loss occur unexpectedly, or even after an illness, it can have a profound, even shattering impact on daily life. And, although grief is not an illness, getting through the process of grief may require support. Sharing the story of loss can reduce symptoms of grief such as avoiding feelings of guilt, emptiness, sadness, depression and even the unspoken emotions of tearfulness. Each story of loss is unique and requires different approaches to get you back to life and happiness. Healing takes courage, I am here to help you find a new story of life, love and self. Loss can seem senseless, and with time, it can be channeled into new meanings and purpose.

Losing a loved one can be a difficult process for anyone. Grief counseling is available to help you work through the loss. During grief counseling many clients learn to manage their pain, to be more self accepting and to find ways to cultivate an inner peace even in difficult times. Some clients find the strength and courage to be more of their authentic selves in the process. You can learn new ways of reassuring yourself and learn ways to be more comfortable with your new sense of normal after a loss.

Grief and loss are some of the most difficult issues we can encounter. The feelings can be very intense and feel as though they will never end. All feelings have a beginning, a middle, and an end. As we move through the stages of grief, we can feel confused about what is normal and what is to be expected. Seeking help will allow you to move through your issues more quickly and effectively. I will assist you in moving through the grief process towards healing and expanded growth.

Grief & Loss For those who grieve, I offer support and encouragement for healing from their loss. Working through shock, numbness, denial, and disbelief is common to the grieving process, as well as emotions such as anger, guilt, and depression that may emerge. I support my clients in working through their grief, which helps them avoid physical or psychological symptoms. Readjustment and transformation develop gradually, as a new life emerges.

Loss is inevitable. It is the flip side of love and the greatest pain we know. Hearts can break and hearts can heal. We must first accept ALL feelings. We can cultivate gratitude for the gifts our loved one gave us. Sometimes it is also important to acknowledge and learn from the mistakes of the one we have lost., the ways they may have caused pain to themselves and others. If the person has been a large part of our daily living, it is as if we need to recreate our lives bringing new resources into the emptiness. The waves of extreme pain become less frequent with time. The person's memory remains with us, and their gifts to us can inspire those very strengths in ourselves.
Alison Huang, NCC, LCPC

When someone lost the loved one, he/she will experience different feelings, such as sad, angry, lonely, confused, and guilty. When these strong emotions all come together at the same time, one can be overwhelmed. Hence, grief counseling can help. Everyone goes through birth, aging, sickness, and death, and grief is a normal process of human's life. Grief counseling gives you an opportunity to find a better way to memorize the loved one while moving forward your life.
