BE IT RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Duluth, Minnesota (the "City"), as follows:
Section 1. Certificate Purpose and Authorization.
1.01 Under and pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Sections 410.32 and 412.301 and Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 475 (collectively, the "Act"), and the City Charter, the City is authorized to issue its general obligation capital equipment certificates of indebtedness to provide funds to purchase capital equipment having an expected useful life at least as long as the term of the certificates of indebtedness.Section 2. Terms, Execution and Delivery of the Certificates.
1.02 The city council adopted Resolution No. 00-0749 declaring the intention of the City to issue such certificates of indebtedness in the amount of approximately $1,985,000 to finance the purchase of capital equipment authorized by the Act. It is hereby certified that the amount of the certificates of indebtedness to be issued by the City pursuant to this resolution is less than 0.25 percent of the market value of the taxable property of the City.
1.03 The city council hereby determines that it is necessary and expedient to issue $1,985,000 General Obligation Equipment Certificates of Indebtedness, Series 2000D, of the City (the "Certificates") to provide funds to purchase capital equipment authorized by the Act, to pay certain expenses incurred in the issuance of the Certificates and to pay a portion of the interest cost of the issue, as allowed by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.56. The capital equipment to be purchased with the proceeds of the Certificates will have a useful life of more than five years.
1.04 Evensen Dodge, Inc., financial consultant to the City, has given notification by mail to at least five firms determined by Evensen Dodge, Inc. to be prospective bidders on the Certificates at least two days (omitting Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays) before the date set for receipt of bids on the Certificates. All actions of the mayor, the clerk and Evensen Dodge, Inc. taken with regard to the sale of the Certificates are hereby ratified and approved.
1.05 Pursuant to such solicitation for bids for the sale of the Certificates, the City Council has received and considered all bids presented pursuant to the official terms of offering and has determined that the most favorable bid is that of __________________________________________________ of _____________________________ (the "Purchaser"), to purchase the Certificates at a cash price of $______________, plus accrued interest on the total principal amount from December 20, 2000, to the date of delivery of the Certificates and upon condition that the Certificates mature and bear interest at the times and annual rates set forth in Section 2. The City, after due consideration, finds such bid reasonable and proper and the bid of the Purchaser is hereby accepted. The mayor and the city clerk are authorized and directed to execute on the part of the City a contract for the sale of the Certificates in accordance with the Purchaser's bid. The city treasurer is directed to deposit the good faith check of the successful bidder.
2.01 The Certificates to be issued hereunder shall be dated December 20, 2000, as the date of original issue, shall be issued in the denomination of $5,000 each, or any integral multiple thereof, in fully registered form and lettered and numbered R-1 and upward. The Certificates shall mature on December 20 in the respective years and amounts stated and shall bear interest at the annual rates set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto:
2.02 The Certificates are not subject to redemption and prepayment before maturity.
2.03 The interest shall be payable semiannually on June 20 and December 20 in each year (each referred to herein as an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing June 20, 2001. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and will be rounded pursuant to the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. The Bond Registrar designated below shall make all interest payments with respect to the Certificates by check or draft mailed to the registered owners of the Certificates shown on the bond registration records maintained by the Bond Registrar at the close of business 15 days next preceding the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a business day) at such owners' addresses shown on such bond registration records.
2.04 The Certificates shall be prepared for execution in accordance with the approved form and shall be signed by the manual or facsimile signature of the mayor and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the city clerk. In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature shall appear on the Certificates shall cease to be an officer before delivery of the Certificates, such signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, as if he or she had remained in office until delivery. The city clerk is authorized and directed to obtain a copy of the proposed approving legal opinion of Fryberger, Buchanan, Smith & Frederick, P.A., Duluth, Minnesota, which is to be complete and cause the opinion to be attached to each Certificate, together with a certificate to be signed by the manual or facsimile signature of the city clerk in substantially the form set forth in the form of the Certificate. The city clerk is authorized and directed to execute the certificate in the name of the City upon receipt of the opinion, if required by the preceding sentence, and to file the opinion in the City offices.
2.05 The city council hereby appoints Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as registrar, authenticating agent, paying agent and transfer agent for the Certificates (such bank or its successor is herein referred to as the "Bond Registrar"). To provide for the Bond Registrar services, the mayor and the clerk are authorized and directed to execute a bond registrar/paying agent agreement substantially in the form of the agreement currently on file in the office of the city clerk. No Certificate shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the Bond Registrar's authentication certificate on such Certificate, substantially set forth in Section 2.11 hereof, shall have been duly executed by an authorized representative of the Bond Registrar. Authentication certificates on different Certificates need not be signed by the same representative. The manual signature of one officer of the City or the executed authentication certificate on each Certificate shall be conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this resolution.
2.06(a) In order to make the Certificates eligible for the services provided by The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), the City has previously agreed to the applicable provisions set forth in the blanket issuer letter of representations which has been executed by the City and DTC (the "Representation Letter").2.07 The City shall cause to be kept by the Bond Registrar a bond register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Bond Registrar may prescribe, the City shall provide for the registration of the Certificates and the registration of transfers of the Certificates entitled to be registered or transferred as herein provided. In the event of the resignation or removal of the Bond Registrar or its incapability of acting as such, the bond registration records shall be maintained at the office of the successor Bond Registrar as may be appointed by the city council. Upon surrender for transfer of any Certificate at the principal corporate office of the Bond Registrar, the City shall execute and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate, if required by law or this resolution, and deliver, in the name(s) of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the like aggregate principal amount, as requested by the transferor.
(b) All of the Certificates shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. Payment of interest on and principal of any Certificate registered in the name of Cede & Co. shall be made by wire transfer or New York Clearing House or equivalent same day funds by 10:00 a.m. CT or as soon as possible thereafter following the Bond Registrar's receipt of funds from the City of each Interest Payment Date to the account of Cede & Co. on each Interest Payment Date at the address indicated in or pursuant to the Representation Letter.
(c) Additional matters with respect to, among other things, notices, consents and approvals by Certificate holders and payments on the Certificates are set forth in the Representation Letter.
2.08 Each Certificate delivered upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Certificate shall carry all of the rights to interest, accrued and unpaid and to accrue, which are carried by such other Certificate. Each Certificate shall be dated by the Bond Registrar as of the date of its authentication. The City and the Bond Registrar shall not be required to make any transfer or exchange of any Certificates called for redemption or to make any such exchange or transfer of the Certificates during the 15 days next preceding the date of the first publication of the notice of redemption in the case of a proposed redemption of the Certificates.
2.09 The City and the Bond Registrar may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Certificate and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Certificate be overdue, and neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
2.10 The principal of and interest on the Certificates shall be payable by the Bond Registrar, as paying agent, in such funds as are legal tender for the payment of debts due the United States of America. The City shall pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Bond Registrar for the disbursement of principal and interest.

Interest is payable semiannually on June 20 and December 20 of each year (each referred to herein as an "Interest Payment Date") commencing on June 20, 2001. Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America by check or draft at the office of Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as the registrar, paying agent, transfer agent and authenticating agent (the "Bond Registrar"), or at the office of such successor bond registrar as may be designated by the city council. The Bond Registrar shall make the interest payment with respect to this Certificate on the Interest Payment Date directly to the registered owner hereof shown on the bond registration records maintained on behalf of the City by the Bond Registrar at the close of business 15 days preceding the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a business day), at such owner's address shown on said bond registration records, without, except for payment of principal on the Certificate, the presentation or surrender of this Certificate, and all such payments shall discharge the obligations of the City to the extent of the payments so made. Payment of principal shall be made upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate to the Bond Registrar when due. For the prompt and full payment of such principal and interest as they become due, the full faith and credit of the City are irrevocably pledged.
This Certificate is one of a series issued by the City in the aggregate amount of $1,985,000, all of like date and tenor, except as to number, amount, maturity date and interest rate, pursuant to the authority contained in Minnesota Statutes, Sections 410.32 and 412.301 and Chapter 475, the City Charter and all other laws thereunto enabling, and pursuant to an authorizing resolution adopted by the governing body of the City on November 30, 2000 (the "Resolution"), and is issued for the purpose of providing money, together with other available funds, for the purchase of capital equipment. The City has levied a direct, annual ad valorem tax upon all taxable property within the City which shall be extended upon the tax rolls for the years and in the amounts sufficient to produce sums not less than five percent in excess of the amounts of principal and interest on the Certificates, as such principal and interest respectively come due. The Certificates are not subject to redemption and prepayment before maturity.
The Certificates of this series are issued as fully registered obligations without coupons, in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Subject to limitations set forth in the Resolution, this Certificate is transferable by the registered owner hereof upon surrender of this Certificate for transfer at the principal corporate office of the Bond Registrar, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar and executed by the registered owner hereof or the owner's attorney duly authorized in writing. Thereupon the City shall execute and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate, if required by law and this Resolution, and deliver, in exchange for this Certificate, one or more new fully registered certificates in the name of the transferee, of an authorized denomination, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of this Certificate, of the same maturity and bearing interest at the same rate.
IT IS CERTIFIED AND RECITED that all acts and conditions required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done, and to exist precedent to and in the issuance of this Certificate in order to make it a valid and binding general obligation of the City in accordance with its terms, have been done and do exist in form, time, and manner as so required; that all taxable property within the corporate limits of the City is subject to the levy of ad valorem taxes to the extent needed to pay the principal hereof and the interest thereon when due, without limitation as to rate or amount; and that the issuance of this Certificate does not cause the indebtedness of the City to exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation.
This Certificate shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any security or benefit under the Resolution until the Bond Registrar's Authentication Certificate hereon shall have been executed by the Bond Registrar by one of its authorized representatives.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the city of Duluth, by its city council, has caused this Certificate to be executed in its name by the facsimile signatures of the mayor and the city clerk.

Section 3. Covenants, Accounts and Representations.Signature Guaranteed:
(Bank, Trust Company, member of
National Securities Exchange)
3.01 The City has created a separate acquisition account within the Capital Equipment Fund to which there shall be credited $1,985,000, less amounts used to pay a part of the interest cost of the issue as allowed by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.56, from the proceeds for the Certificates, together with any additional funds which may be available and are appropriated for the capital equipment purchase program. This account shall be used only to pay or reimburse other City funds or accounts for "capital equipment," as described in Minnesota Statutes, Section 412.301, with an expected useful life of at least five years, and costs of issuance of the Certificates, as such payments become due.Section 4. Tax Covenants.
3.02(a) There shall be and is hereby levied a direct, annual, ad valorem tax upon all taxable property within the City, which shall be extended upon the tax rolls for the years and in amounts sufficient to produce sums not less than 5% in excess of the amounts of principal and interest on the Certificates as such principal and interest respectively become due as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.3.03 If the balance in the Debt Service Fund is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Certificates, the treasurer shall nevertheless provide sufficient money from any other funds of the City which are available for that purpose, and such other funds shall be reimbursed from the Debt Service Fund when the balance therein is sufficient. All proceeds of said taxes will be appropriated and paid when collected into the Debt Service Fund. Said taxes shall be irrepealable until the Certificates and interest are fully paid, except that if the City in any year shall make an irrevocable appropriation to said accounts of monies actually on hand, the city clerk shall certify to the county auditor of St. Louis County the fact and the amount thereof, and the county auditor shall reduce by the amount so certified the amount otherwise to be included in the rolls next thereafter prepared.
(b) A separate debt service account is hereby created and designated as the "2000 G.O. Equipment Certificates Debt Service Account" (the "Debt Service Fund") within the City's debt service fund. The money in the Debt Service Fund shall be used for no purpose other than the payment of principal and interest on the Certificates; provided, however, that if any payment of principal or interest shall become due when there is not sufficient money in the Debt Service Fund, the treasurer shall pay the same from any other funds of the City and said funds shall be reimbursed for such advance out of the proceeds of the taxes hereinafter levied when collected. Into the Debt Service Fund shall be credited all of the proceeds of the Certificates in excess of $1,985,000, if any, plus the amount of accrued interest paid by the Purchaser upon closing and delivery of the Certificates.
3.04 The full faith and credit and taxing power of the City are irrevocably pledged for the prompt and full payment of the Certificates and the interest thereon, in accordance with the terms set forth in this resolution.
3.05 Proceeds of the Certificates on deposit in the acquisition account created in Section 3.01 and in the Debt Service Fund may, in the discretion of the city treasurer, be invested in securities permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.66; provided, that any such investment shall mature at such time and in such amounts as will permit the payment of costs for the improvement program and/or payment of the principal and interest on the Certificates when due.
4.01 The City covenants and agrees with the holders of the Certificates that the City will (i) take all action on its part necessary to assure that the interest on the Certificates will be excluded from gross income for federal income taxes including, without limitations, restricting, to the extent necessary, the yield on investments made with the proceeds of the Certificates and investment earnings thereon, making required payments to the federal government, if any, and maintaining books and records in a specified manner, where appropriate, and (ii) refrain from taking any action which would cause interest on the Certificates to be subject to federal income taxes, including, without limitation, refraining from spending the proceeds of the Certificates and investment earnings thereon on certain specified purposes.Section 5. Continuing Disclosure.
4.02(a) No portion of the proceeds of the Certificates shall be used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments, except (i) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Certificates were issued, and (ii) in addition to the above, in an amount not greater than the lesser of five percent of the proceeds of the Certificates or $100,000. To this effect, any proceeds of the Certificates and any sums from time to time held in the Debt Service Fund (or any other City account which will be used to pay principal and interest to become due on the Certificates) in excess of amounts which under the applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard as to yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by the arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable temporary periods of minor portion made available under the federal arbitrage regulations.
(b) In addition, the proceeds of the Certificates and money in the Debt Service Fund shall not be invested in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment would cause the Certificates to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").(c) The City hereby covenants not to use the proceeds of the Certificates, or to cause or permit them to be used, in such a manner as to cause the Certificates to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code.4.03(a) Pursuant to Section 1.148-7(d) of the Treasury Regulations, relating to exception from rebate, the City hereby covenants that with respect to the gross proceeds of the Certificates, the following schedule will be met: (i) at least 15% of the gross proceeds of the Certificates will be allocated to expenditures for the governmental purpose of the Certificates within six months of the date of issue of the Certificates; (ii) at least 60% of such proceeds will be allocated for such purposes within the one year period of such date; and (iii) 100% of such proceeds will be allocated for such purposes within the 18 month period beginning on such date; subject to an exception for reasonable retainage of 5% of the available proceeds of the Certificates, and that 100% of the available proceeds of the Certificates will be allocated within 30 months from the date of issue of the Certificates.
(b) The City shall use its best efforts to comply with any federal procedural requirements which may apply in order to effectuate the designation made by this section.
The City acknowledges that the Certificates are subject to the continuing disclosure requirements of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R. §240.15c2-12) (the "Rule"). The Rule governs the obligations of certain underwriters to require that issuers of municipal bonds enter into agreements for the benefit of the bondholders to provide continuing disclosure with respect to the Certificates. To provide for the public availability of certain information relating to the Certificates and the security therefor and to permit underwriters of the Certificates to comply with the Rule, which will enhance the marketability of the Certificates, the mayor and the clerk are hereby authorized and directed to execute a Continuing Disclosure Certificate substantially in the form of the Certificate currently on file in the office of the city clerk.Section 6. Certificates of Proceedings.
6.01 The city clerk is directed to file in the office of the county auditor of St. Louis County a certified copy of this resolution, and such other information as the county auditor may require, and to obtain from the county auditor and provide to bond counsel a certificate stating that the Certificates herein authorized have been duly entered on the county auditor's register.
6.02 The officers of the City are authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and to bond counsel certified copies of all proceedings and records of the City pertaining to the authorization, issuance, and sale of the Certificates and such other affidavits and certificates as may reasonably be required to show the facts relating to the legality and marketability of the Certificates, as such facts appear from the official books and records of the officers' custody or are otherwise known. All such certified copies, certificates, and affidavits, including any heretofore furnished, constitute representations of the City as to the correctness of facts recited therein and the actions stated therein to have been taken.
6.03 The mayor and the city clerk are hereby authorized and directed to certify that they have examined the official statement prepared and circulated in connection with the issuance and sale of the Certificates and that to the best of their knowledge and belief the official statement is a complete and accurate representation of the facts and representations made therein as for the date of the official statement.
6.04 In the event of the absence or disability of the mayor or the city clerk, such officers as in the opinion of the City attorney, may act in their behalf, shall without further act or authorization, execute and deliver the Certificates, and do all things and execute all instruments and documents required to be done or executed by such absent or disabled officers.

Sub Pop, Black Friday, and You
Sub Pop's Small Bounty of Record Store Day Treasure
We are, once again, participating in the frenzied, let's-get-our-economy-back-on-track holiday tradition known among vinyl collectors, music fanatics, and eBay flippers as Record Store Day's Black Friday, for which we (and other record labels and artists) come up with very cool and very limited releases to be sold exclusively at independent record retailers.
On November 29th, Sub Pop (hey, that's us) will release two limited-edition Black Friday exclusives: Josh Tillman's score to the forthcoming short film The History of Caves, and a split 7" featuring Low's popular rendition of Rihanna's megahit "Stay" and Shearwater's take on Frank Ocean's "Novacane." Please find track listing details for both releases below.
The History of Caves is the directorial debut of photographer and filmmaker Emma Elizabeth Tillman, and it will premiere later this year on Netflix, Amazon, and iTunes. Josh Tillman's (spoiler alert: he is Father John Misty!) haunting, spare instrumental score spans 10 tracks, all of which are featured on this limited-edition LP. The album is limited to 2,000 copies.
Labelmates Low and Shearwater each contribute what might be considered, in some circles, improbable covers of popular songs for this split 7" single. After performing a crowd-favorite live version of Rihanna's "Stay" at the Pitchfork Music Festival this past July, Low recorded a studio version at Sacred Heart in Duluth, MN. Low's version of the pop ballad has been available digitally since mid-September and follows in the wake of the band's March 2013, Jeff Tweedy-produced album The Invisible Way. Shearwater's new album Fellow Travelers is out November 26, 2013, and on it the band performs re-imagined songs by bands they have toured with over the years, including Folk Implosion, St. Vincent, Wye Oak, Xiu Xiu, and Coldplay among others. Unfettered by the operating principle of Fellow Travelers (and inviting future tour dates together) Shearwater recorded their own gauze-wrapped, undulating version of Frank Ocean's "Novacane" for this single. Low's proceeds will benefit Rock for Kids (www.rockforkids.org), while Shearwater's will benefit the Southern Poverty Law Center (www.splcenter.org). This 7" is limited to 3,500 copies.
Both releases will also be available digitally, so you MP3 purists can have yours, too.

It has been another victory for rent control, just cause eviction protections, and the voters and renters of Richmond. The California Apartment Association retaliated with a lawsuit against the City of Richmond after the voters and renters approved Measure L last November in a landslide victory. In a ruling filed on Feb. 14, Judge Judith S. Craddick of Contra Costa County wrote, "The California Apartment Association's motion for a preliminary injunction is denied."

Of course, not everyone has played the series before, so allow me to give you a quick rundown: Darkstalkers is kind of an intermediary game between the slow technical combat of Street Fighter and the fast and frantic combat of the vs. series. In fact, many staples of the vs. series, like Morrigan and Felicia, came from Darkstalkers first.
The franchise introduced several mechanics that we now consider to be fairly standard in other fighting games. For example, Darkstalkers was one of the first games to introduce the Magic Series, i.e. the ability to combo from weaker attacks into stronger attacks. It was also one of the first games to introduce OTGs or "on the ground" attacks, though they did so with specific pursuit-style attacks in every character's arsenal. The Dark Force mechanic is essentially a type of "proto-install" allowing your characters to go into a super mode by burning meter. It's a delight to play the games that so many of these mechanics came from.
Supposedly, Capcom was split up on its decision to remake either Night Warriors (Darkstalkers 2) or Darkstalkers 3, so they just decided to remake both games. You can choose to play either one, much as you could choose between Marvel Super Heroes and Marvel vs. Capcom in Marvel vs. Capcom Origins. To be completely honest, you will likely be playing Darkstalkers 3 most of the time. It's the game that feels more "complete" of the two and is certainly the game that more people are playing. Heck, Capcom itself is even producing tutorials for the game, and it was Darkstalkers 3 that was more prominently featured in Resurrection's launch trailer.
As I said before, we all know exactly what Darkstalkers Resurrection has to offer. If you enjoyed Darkstalkers in the past, you will absolutely love Resurrection. If you didn't, Resurrection isn't going to convert you. And if you never played Darkstalkers in the past, what's the matter with you? Sign on to PSN or XBLA and get this game. You owe it to yourself to experience one of the most important titles in fighting game history.

Friendship Day at Patterson
Clients and staff members at the Patterson Building, home to the Trudeau Center's early intervention and adult day services programs, last week enjoyed cake together in spirit of celebrating the love people have for one another, whether it's romantic or platonic. Pictured here having some fun are Marion Maloney and Tim Sherlock, who live together in Warwick. They have been friends for more than 20 years and have been dating for the past seven. "She's so sweet," Tim said of his lovely lady, to which she replied, "You're sweet." Kevin Plunkett, the vocational coordinator and supervisor of special education at Patterson, said the affection they have for each other is endearing. "Seeing this connection is fantastic," said Plunkett. Also, everyone in attendance was grateful to client Randy Sorrentino, who helped to bake cakes for the occasion.

Is Italian fashion finally waving goodbye to the busty Berlusconi aesthetic? Luke Leitch investigates.
BY Luke Leitch | 24 September 2012
Photo: Vladimir Potop
Silvio Berlusconi left Italy saddled with more than a financial deficit - this nation's often-shameful mass-media portrayal of women makes The Sun 's daily Page 3 girl seem sophisticated. Now though, there are signs that the big-boobed, small-brained, bunga bunga female archetype of the Berlusconi years is in decline.
Roberto Cavalli, although an ardent loather of Berlusconi, has long specialised in unabashedly groin-led fashion that tends to come cut as tight as a sausage-skin, as opaque as an Italian tax-return, or as short as Silvio himself.
IN PICTURES: Roberto Cavalli spring/summer 2013
Today Cavalli presented a significant shift towards Mario Monti-style, controlled austerity. Yes, this was often sexy stuff (he knows nothing else), but the first half of this collection - watched by Elizabeth Hurley, Shane Warne, and Leona Lewis - was notable for silhouettes that were fluid, not figure-hugging and waists that came forgivingly dropped rather than cinched to corset tightness. Animal prints and florals were mixed with Art Nouveau-inspired prints on co-ordinated, loose jackets and flowing palazzo pants. Rustles of lace at shoulders and hemlines were more ladylike than lascivious, the five-splits on knee-length skirts parted only reluctantly and even Cavalli's Florentine motif jeans, made almost entirely of string-thin strips running between four vertical seams, covered more than they revealed. Yes, the final section of fitted, knitted black evening dresses featuring elaborate beading and big cut-out panels was flesh-flashing: but compared to much past Cavalli this collection was monk-like in its restraint.
The designer said: "This for a sensual woman who is sophisticated too. Italian women are sexy, yes, and beautiful. And they are sophisticated - very much so. Do we feel guilty about bunga bunga? Well, yes: but because of the person behind it. I hope he is gone for good, but you know sometimes even when you push something down it comes back again."
All the latest from Milan Fashion Week
The Berlusconi aesthetic may be down, but it is sadly not entirely out. On Sunday a dental hygienist, turned showgirl, turned councillor for Lombardy - Berlusconi took a personal hand in her career trajectory after she allegedly dressed as a nun at a bunga bunga party - modelled barely-there swimwear for a tacky fashion house named Parah. And today Dean and Dan Caten, the Italo-Canadian brothers behind Dsquared2, presented a collection that was Berlusconi-perfect. Often, the girls wore more jewellery than clothes, in a leather-heavy ode to bondage 'chic'. Oh well: Rome wasn't built in a day.

Manson, Cooper fill outer harbor venue with darkness, drama
Seeing Marilyn Manson in the daylight was certainly both strange and unexpected. Manson, after all, has earned his stripes as the king of goth by courting the darkness, both musically and visually.
But at the Outer Harbor Concert site on Friday evening, Manson and his band of twisted outsiders took to the stage while the sun was still shining brightly over the water, and we could see what we might have only wanted to see beneath the forgiving atmosphere of dim light.
So it was. Manson himself seemed shocked by the arrangement. He arrived dressed in black, his face heavily made up to appear like a cross between a '70s glam rock idol and a creature from some twisted vision of hell. Flanked by longtime compatriot Twiggy Ramirez on guitar, Fred Sablan on bass, drummer Jason Sutter and keyboardist Spencer Rollins, Manson delivered a strong set of his industrial-goth-metal-alternative "hits," if we can call them that.
At the outset, he seemed blurry and bleary, as if just waking up. "No Reflection," for example, found the singer hoarse, rambling about the stage like a reject from "The Nightmare Before Christmas."
"The Dope Show" was better, but not by much. Manson seemed befuddled by the daylight, frankly. Opening for Alice Cooper was surely a dream of his, but it certainly meant taking a knee for the elder eminence of shock rock.
By the time Manson and the band fell into a take on Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus," things had started to click. The master of twisted alternative rock grotesquery was suddenly on his game. His voice was warmed up and had settled into its ominous baritone nicely. "Mobscene" marked the full arrival of the Manson of old, as a massive schoolroom-type chair was rolled onto the stage, and Manson sang the song as he formed various contortionist poses on the chair, like a particularly naughty schoolboy from hell.
From there on out, things went very smoothly, as Manson led the band through a very well-received interpretation of the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams are Made of This," and then fell directly into the set's strongest performance, "This Is the New Sh--," which seemed to be a particular favorite of the crowd.
After an encore of "The Beautiful People," Manson was gone, and too soon.
Alice Cooper took the stage at the stroke of 10, opening with an on-point "Hello Hooray," before jumping straight into a slightly less-creepy "House of Fire," and then falling rather eerily into "No More Mr. Nice Guy."
Alice was, as ever, a sinister master of ceremonies, ringleader of a fabulous band that included the virtuosic and lovely Orianthi Panagaris on lead guitar. The band was simply outstanding throughout the show, sinking its teeth into Cooper's blend of high drama, metal and seminal glam rock. The set list covered all the bases, from the early androgyny – "Billion Dollar Babies" offering the most torrid example of this period-to late-period cheese metal ("Posion") and the Bob Ezrin-produced prog-glam of "Go To Hell" and "Welcome To My Nightmare."
It was all pretty awesome, and the marriage of '90s industrial-goth (Manson) and '70s shock-rock (Cooper) seemed to satisfy the large and enthusiastic crowd. Once again, the sound, the sight lines, and the massive production at the Outer Harbor Concert site brought the majesty of major arena spectacle to downtown Buffalo.

A Simple Green Fix For Creaky Doors
Though not quite as bad as nails on a chalkboard, creaky, squeaky doors can still be incredibly annoying. Usually, a petroleum-based lubricant is used to silence the issue, but why not try this common household product instead?
Stop the squeak with one the most versatile products in the pantry: olive oil.
Just a tiny bit of this liquid gold works wonders on sticky hinges.The oil can be applied with a small brush or wiped on with a cloth. Only a small amount is needed to do the trick, so dab away any excess and be sure the surface is free of dust and grim before you start—you don't want the stuff going rancid! If you are out of olive oil, vegetable oils also work as a natural alternative to WD-40 and the like.

THL Toolbox > Essays > Formatting: Notes, Numbers, Dates, Punctuation, and so forth
Formatting: Notes, Numbers, Dates, Punctuation, and so forth
Contributor(s): José Cabezón, Michael Cox, David Germano, Nathaniel Grove, Alison Melnick, Steven Weinberger.
This page specifies how to format special types of text in an essay to be published by THL or JIATS, such as footnotes, numbers, dates, quotation marks, and so forth. Click on the desired section of the manual to jump directly to it:
- Footnotes/Endnotes * Numbers * Year/Dates * Ordinals, Fractions, Percents * Passages in Tibetan * Quotation Marks * Smart Quotes * Text in Italics for Emphasis * Commas and Other Punctuation
I. Footnotes and Endnotes
Notes in essays may be either footnotes or endnotes. Number the notes using Arabic numerals and not other conventions (Roman numerals, letters, etc.). All bibliographic citations must be located in the notes and not in the body of the essay.
Example, body of essay: Jane Smith has discussed this point in detail.1
The content of note 1 then reads:
1 Jane Smith, Salt Mining in Northern Tibet (New York: Wanderlust Publishers, 1994), 47-54.
DO NOT use the convention of inserting in the body of the essay the author's last name, year of work, and page number, such as
- Jane Smith has discussed this point in detail (Smith 1994: 47).
The only exception to this is references in book reviews.
II. Numbers
In different contexts, numbers are either spelled out or are given in numerical form.
General rule: spell out all whole numbers from one through one hundred (for example, "fifty-three"), round numbers (for example, "The population is forty-seven thousand"), and any number that is the first word in a sentence ("Eighty-five people left the village"). Please note the use of hyphens.
Page Numbers
When referring to page number spans, follow these conventions:
|use all digits
|3-10, 71-72, 96-117
|100 or multiples of 100
|use all digits
|100-104, 1100-1113
|101 through 109, 201 through 209, etc.
|use changed part only
|101-8, 1103-4
|110 through 199, 210 through 299, etc.
|use two or more digits
|321-28, 1087-89, 423-44
Ordinal Numbers
Apply the general rule for spelling out numbers or using numerals: spell out all whole numbers from one through one hundred (for example, "The Eleventh mun sel bla ma" not "The 11th mun sel bla ma"; "the fifty-third person"), round numbers (for example, "The forty-seven thousandth example"), and any number that is the first word in a sentence ("Sixth from the end, he passed all who were ahead of him").
Simple fractions should be spelled out. Example:
This represents two-thirds of the population. Note: do not use numerals such as ⅔ or 2/3 for fractions.
Percents are always rendered with numbers. Also, the word "percent" is always spelled out; never use the percent sign (%). Example:
- This represents 97 percent of the population.
III. Time
Periodization and Dates
For time periods create, an entry in the Glossary Table and in the Type column, enter "time range" Examples: * This occurred in Tibet during the Imperial Period
- During the first transmission of Buddhism (snga dar).
- Note: if dates are given for a person's life or for other items with entries in the Glossary Table, the date goes in the Date column and is deleted from the essay itself..
Year Spans
Year spans follows the same format as page number spans unless either the century changes or the sequence is BCE, in which case all the digits change.
If you need to indicate the era, use BCE and CE (regular capital letters with no periods or spaces between them; see the "Dates" section below).
Examples: 1524-25, 1914-18
In expressing specific dates, use cardinal numbers rather than ordinals. Example:
- He traveled back to Tibet on March 5, 1856 not He traveled back to Tibet on March 5th, 1856.
Approximate and Uncertain Dates
For approximate dates, use "ca." (the abbreviation for "circa"). Example:
- (ca. 1450)
For uncertain dates, use the following formats:
- (1865-1926?)
If you need to indicate the era, use BCE and CE (regular capital letters with no periods or spaces between them). Examples:
- 327-321 BCE (note: for BCE year ranges, the higher number is first)
- during the sixth century BCE
Individual centuries should be spelled out in lowercase. For example:
- the twenty-first century
- the eighth and ninth centuries
- the eighteen hundreds (the nineteenth century).
- a ninth-century text was found (note: in this example, the hyphen is used because "ninth-century" is an adjective)
Decades should be written as "1960s" or "the sixties" (note: do not use an apostrophe before the 's' – do not use the format "1960's").
IV. Passages in Tibetan
All Tibetan, including longer passages as well as all individual words, names, and so forth, must be in THL Extended Wylie. Use a forward slash (/) for a shad. Additionally, after each shad, enter an underscore (_); this will be displayed online as a space. Remember that, in Wylie transliteration, every space is a tsheg. For this reason, always remember to enter a space between a nga and a shad. Also, do not enter any extra spaces within Wylie, because every space will be a tsheg when this is displayed as Tibetan. So a Tibetan passage of which the original reads
should look like this in the footnote/endnote of the essay:
de thob pa la gling gsum gyi skyes pa bud med dang /_dang por mi'i rten la
lam spyangs pa'i 'dod lha kha cig gi rten la mthong lam gsar du skye'i/
Note: for strings of Tibetan text, remember to follow THL Extended Wylie conventions for Tibetan punctuation.
V. Italics
No text in the essay should be in italics. The only exception is English-language text that the author wants to italicize for emphasis. This means no text titles, non-English words, and so forth should be italicized in the body of the essay. Note: be sure to follow the guidelines for text titles, non-English words, and so forth in THL Glossary & non-English Words Guidelines.
VI. Punctuation
This section concerns punctuation standards in essays being submitted to THL or JIATS.
Quotation Marks
For quotes, use "double quotation marks," not 'single quotation marks.' Use single quotation marks only for quotes within quotes.
- Note: for quotations of three lines or more, format the quote as a block indented quote (see the example immediately below).
Periods and commas always go inside quotation marks; colons and semi-colons go outside quotation marks. Examples
- He said to her, "Take that book away."
- He said to her, "Then I shouted, 'I will not play the fool.'"
Use double quotation marks for a quote within an indented quote. Example:
Smart Quotes
Use "smart" single and double quotation marks (that is, curly quotation marks – ' ' and " " ) rather than straight single or double quotation marks (" " and ' ' ).
Set Microsoft Word to automatically use smart quotes rather than straight quotes:
- Pull down the Tools menu at the top of the Word document
- Click on AutoCorrect Options
- In the "Replace As You Type" section, click on the "Autoformat As You Type" tab
- Click in the box to the left of the text that reads: "straight quotes" with "smart quotes"
- Click "OK"
Commas and Other Punctuation
Use serial commas for a list of items separated by commas, and to avoid ambiguity always use a comma before the last member of the list. Example:
- Bob, Carol, Ted, and Alice all left. (note the comma after "Ted").
- Periods and commas always go inside quotation marks; semicolons and colons go outside quotation marks.
- i.e. and e.g.: wherever possible, use the actual English words "that is," and "for example," respectively, rather than these abbreviations. A comma always follows "e.g." and "i.e." immediately after the period (a comma also immediately follows "that is" and "for example").
- Monastics – i.e., fully ordained monks and nuns, as well as novices –
- Monastics – that is, fully ordained monks and nuns, as well as novices –
- The use of coercion in such cases – e.g., threatening expulsion from the order –
- The use of coercion in such cases – for example, threatening expulsion from the order –
For dashes, use "en" dashes – that is, longer, extended dashes like these – rather than a single dash (-) or two single dashes (--); include a space both before and after the en dash. See the four examples immediately above.
Note: this does not apply to hyphens. Thus, "This was strictly a fourteenth-century policy" uses a single dash because it is a hyphen. You can use the search-and-replace function in Word to replace all double dashes with a single en dash. You can also manually insert an en dash:
- Click at the point in the essay that you want to insert the en dash
- Pull down the Insert menu and click on Symbol
- Click on the "Special Characters" tab
- Double-click on "en dash"
- Make sure that there is a space both before and after the en dash that has been inserted into the essay
You can also set Microsoft Word to automatically insert an en dash whenever you type two single dashes:
- Pull down the Tools menu at the top of the Word document
- Click on AutoCorrect Options
- In the "Replace As You Type" section, click on the "Autoformat As You Type" tab
- Click in the box to the left of the text that reads: "Hyphens (--) with dash (–)"
- Click "OK"
Initials in a Name
- Insert a space between initials in a name. Example:
- J. P. Smith
For punctuation within bibliographical citations, see Bibliographic Citations.

SYCAMORE – Are you related to someone famous?
Julie Dresser, a Sycamore genealogist, is.
Born in Arizona, Dresser grew up in St. Charles, where she began studying genealogy at the age of 11 to find out if her family was actually related to President Andrew Jackson. Though she disproved that family myth, Dresser, who moved to Sycamore in 1987, discovered that she is descended from Abraham Lincoln, Nathan Hale and the real-life model for "The Scarlet Letter" character Hester Pine.
As she grew, so did Dresser's passion for genealogy. Last year, she won a national essay contest sponsoredĀ by the Society of American Archivists, earning her family a trip to San Diego. Her essay was about discovering 16 letters an ancestor who died in 1864 wrote to her sister.
Dresser will share some of her knowledge in a six-week genealogy class starting tonight through the Sycamore History Museum. Registration is required. Call 815-895-5762 to inquire about space.
Dresser spent a few minutes last week talking genealogy with MidWeek reporter Doug Oleson.
MidWeek: How did you get started in genealogy so young?
Julie Dresser: My grandmother's family always said that we were descended from President Andrew Jackson. I see no one actually opened up a history book, because Andrew Jackson didn't have any children. It's just a family story. ...But sometimes, there's the nugget of truth in a story. It turns out we're probably descendants of Andrew Jackson's grandfather, so there is a relationship, but the story kind of evolved until it became more than it really was.
MW: Did you get into genealogy because of that?
JD: Yes, it piqued my interest, and I've always been curious. I like puzzles.Ā I always considered genealogy to be this great big puzzle. You just don't know what the picture is going to be like when you're all done.
MW: When you started, were there as many sources as today?
JD: Actually, my grandparents lived across the street from the library in St. Charles. My grandmother's family was in Kane County from the 1840s on. It was local. I could do it on my own. And then I had some aunts and cousins who kind of took me under their wing and helped me out. They were interested. They got me started and encouraged me. Then, when I got married, my mother-in-law was a huge help to me.
MW: If I was interested in starting my own family tree, how would I begin?
JD: You start with yourself and what you know. You always start with your home source.Ā You talk to people in your family and from there you access obituaries from the newspaper, death records. You do everything for each generation and keep going back.
MW:Ā Is that difficult, looking up old obituaries?
JD: It can be, especially if you don't have the right date. I'll give you an example. My husband has an ancestor. His name was Amos Cochrane. All I knew from his gravestone in Sterling (was) he was buried in 1890. I can't find a death record, I can't find anything else. I just have the year. It's a pain to go through an entire year of newspapers. But it turns out that Sterling has posted an index of their newspapers. But I never would have found his obituary because his gravestone is wrong. He actually died in 1891.
Sometimes you just have to be persistent and keep looking and 20 years later you might find your answer. So it's not easy.
MW: Sounds like a lot of work.
JD: I think with the Internet, people think, "Gosh, this is going to be easy. I'm going to go to Ancestry.com and plug it in," but it's not. There are people who have the same name. You have to be careful. Even if you think a name is unusual, it may not be. You have to be diligent and find everything you can on that person.
MW: I've seen that ad for Ancestry.com where someone found out they lived a block from the Wright brothers. Is that really possible?
JD: Sure. Actually, one of my cousins was taught how to fly by John Glenn. So anything is possible. It's a big world and yet it's small at the same time. I've done my husband's ancestry and I can't tell you how many times we're cousins over and over again. He doesn't appreciate that when I say, "Hi, Cuz." It's distant.
MW: Is it easier today than, say, 20 years ago, because of technology?
JD: Yes. Indexes are coming online, that makes it easier. I have probably found more in the last five years than in the previous 20.
MW: Does this involve a lot of traveling?
JD: Yes, it does. Or you can hire someone to do some research for you. You can order it through a genealogical society. Most of them will do some limited research for you. They won't do your whole family, but if you know what you need, they can do it for you. It gets expensive.
It's also very time consuming. I think if you really, really love it, you'll stick with it. It's like any hobby. If you love it, that's what you're going to do. That's what you're going to spend your money on. I would never go on vacation without going to a cemetery or a courthouse. My son is tired of it. I try to work out fun things for him to do.
MW: Don't you have to deal with people changing their names when they come to this country?
JD: It is a big obstacle, but it can be done. ...I've done it. ...There is the myth that people changed their names at Ellis Island, but that's not true. They had to have paperwork to come into this country. It had to match the manifest on the ship. But once you got here, they didn't need to drive, there was no Social Security. so they didn't need any cards. There were no birth records until 1916 in Illinois, when it (became) mandatory. So they could change their names to make themselves sound more Americanized. You didn't need any documentation to do that. My grandfather was born in 1920 and his parents divorced and his mom remarried and changed his last name, but there's no documentation on that at all. He was just before needing all that paperwork.
MW: Are more people becoming interested in genealogy?
JD: Yes, I think so. It seems to be very popular, especially since "Roots," that TV (mini)series in 1977. ...I've heard genealogy is the second most popular topic on the Internet. I don"t know how accurate that is, but it goes to show that lots of people are doing this.
MW: Why do you think that is?
JD: I think there's a lot of things. I think people want to know if they're related to someone famous. To me, I just love knowing who came before me and what their lives were like. Their lives were so much harder than ours are today. I have a lot of respect for them.
MW: Is patience one of the biggest things you have to have to do this?
JD: Patience, persistence, diligence. Don't leave any stone unturned. ...You have to follow all the steps, otherwise, you might never find out.
MW: Do you ever go back so far and run into a dead end?
JD: Yes. You get back to about 1800 in Ireland and you're done. In Great Britain, you can go back hundreds and hundreds of years. I have one Scottish line that goes back to the 17th century, which is pretty good. It really depends if those ministers kept really good tabs on their parishioners, plus there's fires and floods and wars. Things get destroyed.
MW: When did you start teaching classes?
JD: I started last fall. After winning the contest, (Sycamore History Museum Executive Director) Michelle (Donahoe) approached me about talking about where I found the information for the letters and I said I would actually be really interested in doing a genealogy class. She took me up on it. It has received a really good response. I was surprised and pleased.
MW: What are you going to go over?
JD: I'm going to go over the basics of finding information, where to find it, how to find it, being persistent and how to go about gathering clues to resolve a mystery. Making sure you don't leave any stone unturned. I'll give lots of research examples from my own experience so they can literally see how I figured it out.
MW: Anything else you want to mention about the class?
JD: It covers all the basics. A lot of people are really interested in finding their place of origin. I have five different examples, in different ways, of finding where your ancestor came from. You have to find the name of the village. You can't just say they came from Germany. Germany has thousands of villages. A lot of them have the same names or similar names, so you have to be extremely careful. I've run into that myself.
And I'm still learning. I learn from my students and other people give me hints, evolving.
MW: Anything you want to add about genealogy?
JD: I think it can be especially rewarding for young people to know who they came from and to be proud of who they are. ...I keep telling my son the same stories over and over again. If you don't repeat it, kids will forget.
MW: Does it help if someone has a natural interest in history?
JD: I think most people who get into genealogy do have an interest in history. I love all types of history. To me, genealogy is like history through a microscope.
You are learning about yourself and where you came from. You have to remember that everyone has two parents and then four grandparents and each time you go back, you double that number. By the time you go back 10 generations, think about how many people that is. The varied occupations and experiences they must have had depending on their economic background.
On the record ... with Julie Dresser

Health and Agriculture Experts to Present 2013 EEE Surveillance & Response Plan
Public Meeting at Brandon Town Hall on July 10, 5-7 p.m.
BURLINGTON – The State of Vermont plan for monitoring mosquito activity this summer, and responding to mosquito-borne health threats will be presented at a public meeting on Wednesday, July 10 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Brandon Town Hall.
Experts from the Health Department and the Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets will discuss the 2013 Arboviral Surveillance & Response Plan, including plans for trapping and testing mosquitoes, expanded surveillance for human and animal illness through health care providers and veterinarians, public information and education on preventing mosquito-borne illness, and actions that may be taken based on levels of risk.
Last year, two people from southern Addison and northern Rutland counties died from Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE). This was the first time that a human case of EEE had ever been reported in the state. Two horses from the area were also confirmed to have the disease, and the virus was isolated from 10 mosquito pools.
The plan and extensive information about mosquito-borne illness is available at the Health Department's website at:<http://www.healthvermont.gov/> .

McCourt Flails As the Noose Tightens
But maybe the most annoying moment came, as observed by the indispensable Craig Calcaterra yesterday, when Frank McCourt yowped about MLB's lack of "transparency" while operating a corporation that resembles a certain familiar cephalopod.
At last, I leave you with the words of my favorite fellow Dodger traveler, the man who has been with me here in McCourt doubt from the very beginning. Jon likens this action to a second divorce, and who am I to argue?
If it is McCourt's right to sue – a point that's debatable depending upon your interpretation of his ownership agreement with MLB – then let him sue away. But how dare he claim, yet again, that he has the interests of the fan base at heart. His ownership stands, more than ever, at direct odds with what the Dodger community wants and needs."Dad, we're all grown up now. And we're tired of your complaints over a fate you engineered and your hollow apologies." Amen, and hallelujah. While there's still enough wiggle room for MLB to leave the Dodgers to McCourt, I expect that the current state of affairs is looking for excuses to take the team from him, something that Frank is already loudly protesting. It can't happen soon enough.
"Everyone deserves a second chance," McCourt said. This is not in fact true – some people don't deserve a second chance, depending on the circumstances – but even if it were true in McCourt's case, he doesn't deserve his second chance more than others deserve a first chance – starting with Tom Schieffer, the monitor sent to Los Angeles by MLB to get to the bottom of this mess at the top.
Update: It occurs to me that yesterday's he said/she said regarding MLB's stand on the Fox TV deal tells us possibly quite a bit about McCourt's thought processes, and just how perilous the franchise's fortunes are at this juncture. Consider: McCourt walks into a room with the MLB representatives, who tell him they won't immediately approve of the TV rights deal without further review. Frank walks out of the room with the idea that they said "no". Why would he surmise that? Only if his time frame for getting the money is, oh, next month. It's unlikely that Fox has the kind of cash that Frank needs just lying around, and so they would have to liquidate assets of some sort in order to pay him, even if it's just stuff like Treasuries. For Frank, any delay means bankruptcy.
Update 2: Missed this yesterday: TMZ says the McCourts skipped out on their $300/day hairdressing bill. You can't make this stuff up.
Update 3: "Mere millionaire" Stanley Stalford readies a bid for the Dodgers. Like McCourt, he's a real estate operator, but unlike McCourt, he's proposing to assemble a public offering in the Dodgers, though the team would operate as a nonprofit.
Bill Shaikin continues his yeoman's work on this story with a piece largely confirming my supposition above about McCourt's disagreement with MLB over the substance of the Fox TV pact:
While MLB has not revoked Frank McCourt's ownership, Selig has empowered Schieffer with financial authority over the franchise and has not approved a television contract with Fox that would have provided McCourt with a financial lifeline.Josh Fisher has more thoughts on this; he's remarkably generous to McCourt about not wanting him to suffer:
That effectively constitutes a seizure, according to those close to McCourt, since his inability to access Dodgers funds could force him to miss financial obligations. At that point, Selig could say he has the evidence to show that McCourt is financially unfit to own the Dodgers and say he must install new owners.
"They want us to rubber-stamp the deal with the history of the money they have misused?" said the person, not authorized to speak publicly because of the prospect of McCourt filing suit against the league.
And I think Frank McCourt is more hurt by this whole drama than he's ever let on. He's got the look of someone who achieved his dreams for only the briefest moment, and then watched the story of his life's collapse on TMZ. It's E!'s True Hollywood Story in real-time. He probably shouldn't own the Dodgers very much longer--both for the team's sake and his own--and he has obviously made some very poor decisions along the way. But if you want Frank McCourt to suffer as he has...I respect your opinion. I just don't share it.I frankly think he should suffer in the exact measure he has overreached, overspent, overindulged, looting the Dodgers along the way as a personal piggy bank for his own excess.
"They" is the right pronoun - Jamie has to go down with him and really was a bigger part of the problem from my view. She damaged the franchise as much as he did, if not more. Too bad he's the only one who's the focus of MLB accountability right now.
I don't disagree with anything you post, but the ex- should be right there next to him.

Kentucky has hired Florida State defensive coordinator Mark Stoops as its new football coach.
The university announced Tuesday that Stoops will replace Joker Phillips, who was fired on Nov. 4. Phillips went 13-24 in three seasons at Kentucky.
The 45-year-old Stoops will be introduced here at a news conference on Sunday. No. 13 Florida State (10-2) plays Georgia Tech in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game on Saturday.
Stoops, brother of Oklahoma's Bob Stoops, has been the Seminoles' defensive coordinator the past three seasons. Florida State's defense was ranked 108th when he took over and he has turned the Seminoles into one of the nation's top defensive teams.
The Seminoles have the nation's second-ranked defense, giving up 249.4 yards per game. Kentucky allowed 391 yards a contest this season.

New Books in Western History: Weeks in Review (7.14.09)
In the Los Angeles Times, Richard Rayner reviews a reissue of Reyner Banham's Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies, an indispensable work of urban studies first published in 1971. Rayner notes how an appreciative and eclectic eye, and the fresh perspective as an Englishman abroad, led Banham not to disparage Los Angeles, but to celebrate its novelty and innovation. A copy of this reissue is on order, and will soon be available in the Western History & Genealogy department.
In L.A. Weekly, Nancy Rommelmann reviews Live Through This: A Mother's Memoir of Runaway Daughters and Reclaimed Love, Debra Gwartney's memoir of her loss of two of her four daughters to the streets of Pacific Coast cities. Gwartney, a former Newsweek reporter and instructor at Portland State University, is unsparing in her candor. Copies are available at several branches, and a copy is available for use in our department.
In the Seattle Times, Mishna Wolff's memoir of her life as a white child in a largely black Seattle neighborhood during the 1970s and 80s, entitled I'm Down, draws a rave review from Andrew Matson, who concludes that its humor and candor about race in the Emerald City make it "required reading." I'm Down explores race, identity, and the relationships of family and community. Copies are available both in our circulating collection and the Western History & Genealogy department.
In the Boston Globe, Don Aucoin interviews Evan Schwartz, author of Finding Oz: How L. Frank Baum Discovered America's Great Story, a study of one of the great American allegorists, whose personal failures and the pervasive uncertainty of late-nineteenth-century America proved inspiration for his fantastic vision of Oz. A copy of Finding Oz has been ordered for our collection, and should shortly be available for use in the Western History & Genealogy department.
At NewWest, Jenny Shank reviews Rachel Dickinson's Falconer on the Edge: A Man, His Birds, and the Vanishing Landscape of the American West. Dickinson explores not only the ancient practice of falconry, but also the determination of her central figure, Steve Chindgren, whose art has been fundamentally shaped by the disruption of the Western environment. Shank finds Falconer on the Edge "an incisive look at a modern devotee of a fascinating ancient practice, and Steve Chindgren emerges as a complex, driven figure keeping the sport of falconry alive in the American West." A copy is available for use in our department.
Several different reviews have appeared of Kevin Starr's Golden Dreams: California in an Age of Abundance, 1950-1963, the final, out-of-sequence work in a series by California's emeritus state librarian. Starr returns again to his vision of California's modern history as one shaped by the pursuit of a middle-class dream, as Benjamin Schwarz notes in The Atlantic. In the San Francisco Chronicle, Phyllis Filiberti Butler declares Starr's final installment "an excellent addition to Starr's masterful series." And in the Los Angeles Times, Tim Rutten observes that with Golden Dreams, Starr "has completed his transformation from the state's greatest historian to its indispensable one."
Finally, more reviews have appeared for several works noted here in recent weeks, including reviews of Nick Reding's horrific and important Methland: The Death of an American Small Town in the Seattle Times, Chicago Tribune, and New York Times.

The president of Roof Diagnostics Solar has been indicted for allegedly stealing more than $265,000 by providing misleading information to the company's workers' compensation insurance carrier, according to the state attorney general's office.
The indictment claims that Charles Kelcy Pegler Sr., president of the Wall-based company, lied about the nature of his company from June of 2002 to October of 2009, claiming it did not perform any roof work, nor did it employ any roofers.
Because of those claims, the company, which ranked No. 5 on NJBIZ's 2013 list of the 50 fastest growing companies in the state, paid far less in workers' compensation insurance premiums than it should have, according to the AG's office.
"This defendant had a legal responsibility to provide adequate and lawful workers' compensation coverage for employees," Acting Attorney General John Hoffman said. "By providing misinformation to his workers' compensation carrier, he not only failed in this responsibility but also defrauded an insurance company out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The cost of such fraud is passed on to consumers through increased premiums."
The indictment has left Pegler Sr. "shocked," according to a statement from Roof Diagnostics Solar issued late Friday evening.
"He has built his career as well as his company, Roof Diagnostics, on integrity," the statement continued. "He has retained counsel and looks forward to seeing this process through and clearing his name."

Building on the foundation of an organization's enterprise solution, our approach uses disruptive technology, like in-memory, and digital accelerators, such as social, mobile, analytics and cloud computing, to shift to New IT—creating faster, smarter, more agile and better connected enterprises.
SAP S/4HANA provides a platform well suited to the demands of the high velocity enterprise in an always-on, digitally-connected and Big Data-driven world.
Accenture and SAP are collaborating at an unprecedented level to accelerate development of SAP S/4HANA as well as industry and line-of-business solutions, with a view to simplifying and fast-tracking customers journeys to digital businesses. This is the first time that SAP has joined forces with an alliance partner to accelerate development of its core product, as well as build new industry cloud solutions, providing Accenture with unique input, insight and development opportunities with SAP S/4HANA.
Our high velocity enterprise approach and deep industry expertise provide a framework for companies ready to embark on digital transformation. SAP S/4HANA provides the platform.
Using SAP S/4HANA, we help organizations to adopt new ways to architect, implement, deliver, deploy and manage their SAP solution. The potential of SAP S/4HANA can be unlocked in a number of ways:
Unlike the traditional monolithic approach, SAP S/4HANA enables best-of-breed architectures and combination of solution components in different ways.
All SAP S/4HANA components can be deployed either on premise or in the cloud.
Hybrid cloud enables a different integration approach, with better, deeper API layers.
Full integration with SAP Leonardo and SAP Cloud Platform, allowing applications to be built faster and cheaper.
More ways to leverage data from business transactions and client interactions.
More options for architecting and developing integrated solutions.
Organizations with professional services, finance or logistics at their cores can benefit from SAP S/4HANA. Organizations wanting to advance beyond the real-time reporting provided by SAP HANA Live and looking to become faster, smarter, more agile and connected can also benefit.
The SAP S/4HANA innovations are being ramped up module-by-module. This allows flexibility in how and when organizations adopt.
To stay on the leading edge of new technology and reap immediate business benefits, now is the time to plan a digital roadmap incorporating future SAP S/4HANA innovations and start a technical re-platforming.
Organizations that prefer to wait before adopting new technologies can also start moving now and assess the maturity of each SAP S/4HANA innovation before adoption.
Early adopters are developing and enabling new capabilities as well as laying the foundation for business transformation as new innovations become available. The longer an organization waits to begin the journey, the more they miss out on capabilities exclusive to SAP S/4HANA and the harder it will be to catch up.

Cindy Jacobs is one of the most ridiculous charlatans in the Christian world today. She is always telling stories about how her prayers prevented terrible things that never happened and how God does amazing, undocumented things like making her spaghetti last forever. Now she says that she was the one who prevented the global economy from collapsing in 2008 because she mobilized her prayer warriors.
Given that 2008 was the start of the worst recession since the Great Depression, one has to wonder how many people she would have needed praying in order to keep it from getting that bad. Thank goodness Cindy was there to save the day. Maybe she should take her magic spaghetti bowl to a homeless shelter or to some poor people's houses.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) The Texas Rangers say reliever Mike Adams will have surgery for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, a numbing sensation that sidelined him the last week of the season.
Adams, who can become a free agent, is set for surgery Thursday in Dallas.
The team said All-Star starter Matt Harrison had successful Lasik surgery Thursday. Catcher Mike Napoli, another pending free agent, is set to have the eye procedure next week.
Harrison had a rib removed during surgery in 2009 after being diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, when a bone in the upper body presses against a nerve, causing numbness and tingling in the fingers.
Adams gave up three home runs in the span of five batters in his last appearance. He gave up only one homer his previous 60 games.

Gerard Butler's Middle Finger Salute
Scottish hunk Gerard Butler rings in the new year with a middle finger salute, partying in Miami's South Beach on Monday night.
Gerard's next film, Nim's Island, is set for an April 4, 2008 release. Nim (Abigail Breslin) is a young girl who imagines an island to be magical, basing its mystic nature on the experiences of her favorite fictional character, Alex Rover (Butler). When Nim's father goes missing on the island, Nim teams up with Alexandra (Jodie Foster), the author of the Alex Rover books and Rover himself.
Have a Gerry-ful New Year!
