The Boulder County District Attorney's Office decision to dismiss felony animal cruelty charges against a University of Colorado student has not sat well with some animal rights activists who maintain the killing violated hunting regulations.
But the Boulder district attorney maintains that there was not an appropriate charge available to prosecutors in the case.
Jace Roberts Griffiths, 20, was arrested in November after he told police he killed a raccoon with a bat so he could "take its hide."
Griffiths was charged with one count of aggravated animal cruelty. But in a motion filed on Jan. 23, District Attorney Stan Garnett said Colorado law allows the killing of "furbearers" — including raccoons — during certain seasons for people with the proper licenses.
"We looked very closely at that case and could not find any charges that we felt were appropriate," Garnett said. "We had no evidence the animal was not killed quickly and painlessly.
"If it is killed quickly and painlessly and doesn't suffer it is not animal cruelty, and we could not find a hunting regulation ever cited in court that applied to this situation."
Griffiths declined to comment on the story.
Rita Anderson with the Boulder's In Defense of Animals said she believes that while Griffiths had a license to hunt furbearers, the kill was still illegal.
The Colorado Department of Wildlife's website lists a number of different legal methods of taking animals, but the regulation also states "any method of take not listed herein shall be prohibited." Under the furbearers section, the listed legal methods of take are rifle or handgun, shotgun, handheld bows and crossbows, and traps.
"Bludgeoning or whacking or batting is not listed," Anderson said.
Anderson said since bats are not listed, Griffiths should have been subject to hunting violations and therefore the felony animal cruelty charges.
"I do believe animal cruelty charges could have been brought," Anderson said. "The hunting excuse was utterly absurd."
Jennifer Churchill, a spokeswoman with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, said the department left the decision about charges up to the Boulder police and the district attorney.
In this particular incident, charges were filed by the city of Boulder and not our agency," Churchill said. "Due to this, Colorado Parks and Wildlife has elected to honor District Attorney Stan Garnett's expertise and opinion in this matter."
Garnett said he has met with Anderson and others who disagreed with the ruling in the past week.
"I have enormous respect for the people who have contacted me about this," Garnett said. "The reality is we can only enforce the laws we actually have, not the laws we wish we had."
To that measure, Garnett said it is sometimes difficult to prosecute cruelty to animal cases involving animals that can be legally hunted.
"There's a tension between the fact that we have animal cruelty statutes but also permit hunting," Garnett said. "If you're going to have a statute that prohibits torture and needless killing of an animal but that same statutory scheme also permits Colorado Parks and Widlife to license people to kill animals at certain times, the law needs to do a better job of sorting out that tension between those competing philosophies."
Garnett said his office takes animal cruelty crimes very seriously, noting he has a designated animal cruelty prosecutor — Deputy District Attorney Jenny McClintock — and has even tried some cruelty cases himself.
"I would hold up the record of my office to any other office in the country on cruelty to animal cases," Garnett said.
But Anderson said she thinks Garnett and his office aren't taking animal cruelty charges seriously enough.
"We have repeatedly in group meetings spoken to Stan about how cruelty to animal cases have not been given what we believe to be the right consideration," said Anderson. "These people are getting a slap on the wrist."

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Deutsche Bank has cut its 2012 profit figure because of new charges for possible costs from mortgage-related lawsuits in the U.S.
The bank said Wednesday it would increase the amount set aside to pay such costs by 600 million euros ($800 million) to €2.4 billion.
The charge reduced annual net profit to 291 million euros from 665 million euros. That's an even steeper plunge from 4.3 billion euros in 2011.
The bank said the information about the lawsuits had become available after it published unaudited, preliminary figures on Jan. 31. Accounting rules require the bank to disclose new information afterward if it significantly affects the previous numbers.
The bank said its dividend would remain unchanged at 0.75 euros per share.

U.S. stock-index futures climbed, indicating the benchmark Standard & Poor's 500 Index will continue its advance toward a record high, as jobless claims unexpectedly dropped last week.
LinkedIn Corp. and eBay Inc. added at least 1.7% after analyst upgrades. Amazon.com Inc. fell 2.4% as JPMorgan Chase & Co. downgraded the shares. E*Trade Financial Corp. lost 6.8% after Citadel LLC said it's selling the rest of its equity stake.
S&P 500 futures expiring in June rose 0.2% to 1,552.9 at 9:15 a.m. in New York. Contracts on the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 13 points, or 0.1%, to 14,411 today.
"It's a little bit more fuel on the fire," Jeffrey Davis, chief investment officer at Lee Munder Capital Group, said in a phone interview. The Boston-based firm oversees $5 billion. "It's been a long time since you've seen momentum both on the market and technical front being supported by economic fundamentals. In spite of the fact the market's not as cheap as it once was, it's looking like the rally should continue."
The S&P 500 is about 11 points away from its record closing level of 1,565.15 set in October 2007. The gauge has more than doubled from its bottom in 2009, fueled by corporate earnings that topped estimates and monetary stimulus from the Federal Reserve. The Dow has set record closing highs for seven straight days.
Jobless Claims
First-time jobless claims fell by 10,000 to 332,000 in the week ended March 9, the fewest since mid-January, according to data today from the Labor Department in Washington. The median forecast of 49 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for an increase to 350,000. The four-week average declined to a five- year low.
A separate report showed wholesale prices in the U.S. climbed in February for a second month, reflecting a jump in energy costs that are now dissipating.
In Europe, stocks advanced to a 4 1/2-year high before the region's leaders begin a two-day Brussels summit. Euro-area finance ministers meet separately tomorrow to discuss a bailout for Cyprus.
LinkedIn added 2.4% to $183.49 as Goldman Sachs raised its price target to $220 from $157. EBay, operator of the world's largest online marketplace, climbed 1.7% to $51.87. Evercore raised its rating on the company to overweight from equalweight.

By James Pomfret and Farah Master
MACAU (Reuters) - Wan "Broken Tooth" Kuok-koi will emerge from jail this weekend into a very different Macau gambling haven than the one he bullied in the late-1990s.
Under new leadership, chosen at a Chinese Communist Party Congress this month where corruption was a dominant theme, Beijing is sending strong signals to Macau authorities to tighten regulation and promote responsible gaming in the world's casino capital.
It's a far cry from more than a decade ago when Wan and other triad gangsters ran amok during the final days of Portuguese rule of this southern Chinese outcrop. The bloody gangland turf wars are a thing of the past, but Macau, transformed into a booming, glitzy strip of casinos, malls and hotels - many owned by U.S. tycoons such as Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn - retains a murky underbelly where dubious money transfers are commonplace and the shadow of triad gangs still hangs.
Triads, or Chinese organized crime societies, remain a vital cog in the gambling industry, as intermediaries and junket operators - recruiting and transporting high-rollers and offering credit and recovering debts around the highly lucrative VIP gaming rooms.
The leading junkets make billions of dollars from Macau's gambling industry, bringing in over 70 percent of total gambling revenue - which has soared to $33.5 billion, five times that of Las Vegas, from just $1.7 billion in Wan's heyday. As the money has rolled in, the junket operators have diversified into movies, property and stockbroking.
The once monopolistic casino empire of gambling tycoon Stanley Ho has opened up to the Las Vegas big-hitters, but Wan's 14K triad, its branches and rival gangs are still active in Macau, say people close to the industry.
"The triads retain some kind of influence in the majority of the VIP rooms," said a security executive at one of Macau's leading casinos, who was not authorized to speak to the media. "We know there's influence because we see them around the casino floor, inside the VIP rooms. It's not an offence. Unless the police can prove money laundering, they can stay there."
It's not known whether Wan - who was jailed for more than 14 years for attempted murder, loan sharking and money laundering - will return to the business.
Wan's family members, lawyers and former associates declined to comment on his plans, though his brother Kuok-hung - himself jailed for five years in 1999 - has carved out a career in the VIP junket business. Wan was visited in jail by his brother and mother earlier this week.
While few predict Wan's release from the high-security Coloane Prison will spark a return to Macau's darker days, the authorities are taking no chances.
Last weekend, a number of Wan's former associates were arrested in a sting operation on suspicion of planning to commit murder. One of those picked up was former police officer Artur Chiang Calderon, who was first arrested in 1998 with Wan over a string of bomb attacks and bloody gang wars.
"We are well equipped to handle all situations," a spokeswoman for Macau's judiciary police said, amid local media reports of tightened security and vigilance at casinos.
"This is Beijing. They want to send a strong message by doing this," said a senior casino executive.
Kenny Leong, chief executive of Nasdaq-listed Asia Entertainment and Resources Ltd and one of Macau's leading VIP gambling room promoters, did not expect much impact from Wan's freedom. "Things are completely different now. Everything is more professionally managed," he said.
"It's a different era from before. Right now, the time is not hitting and killing."
Wan, a stocky man with often garish sartorial taste, is said to be unable to straighten the middle two fingers of one hand after being mangled by meat cleavers in a street fight. Locals say he was a common sight, driving around Macau in a mauve Ferrari.
"He was very, very influential in his time," said a former head of criminal intelligence in the Hong Kong police force, who specialized in anti-triad enforcement. "He was influential because of fear. He was extremely violent and took over a lot of businesses in a violent manner."
Earlier this week, a new, white Toyota Vellfire spacewagon pulled out of a gated compound and wound its way up to the heavily-fortified hilltop prison, where a stylish lady with long hair and dark glasses stepped out with a shy-looking, bespectacled teenage son wearing sneakers.
After an hour-long visit, Wan's wife and son declined comment when asked by Reuters how they felt about being reunited as a family. "I have nothing to say," said Wan's wife.

Article Summary: This article provides information on how to reinitialize a DFS-replicated SYSVOL folder on a Windows domain controller.
As documented in this article, the BurFlags registry setting is used to reinitialize the SYSVOL hierarchy on a domain controller if SYSVOL is replicated using the File Replication Service (FRS). However, Distributed File System Replication (DFS-R) has been the recommended mechanism for replicating SYSVOL since the advent of Windows Server 2008, as it provides significantly improved performance over FRS. There is not a registry setting equivalent to BurFlags for reinitializing a SYSVOL folder that is replicated using DFS-R, but there is a procedure that will achieve the same outcome.
As is the case with FRS, a SYSVOL folder replicated using DFS-R can be reinitialized authoritatively or non-authoritatively, and it is important to understand the difference:
To perform a non-authoritative reinitialization of a DFS-replicated SYSVOL folder on a DC:
To perform an authoritative reinitialization of a DFS-replicated SYSVOL folder on a DC:
Note that the steps in the second section have all other DCs performing a non-authoritative reinitialization immediately after the selected DC performs its authoritative reinitialization. This is important, as failure to follow all of these steps will result in conflicts.

HAILEY, Idaho (AP) — A wildfire stoked by strong winds made a push to the north Saturday and forced more people from their homes outside the posh central Idaho ski town of Ketchum, bringing the number of residences evacuated by the blaze to more than 2,300.
Despite the adverse conditions and extreme fire behavior, some progress was made on the Beaver Creek Fire's south end, where crews conducted mop-up along the borders of blackened foothills west of the Hailey.
Lightning ignited the blaze Aug. 7. Fire officials estimated it grew to 144 square miles Friday night, fed by dry timber and underbrush. But they expect a more accurate size assessment after a plane with infrared cameras flies over the burn Saturday night.
The fire is 6 percent contained.
More than 700 firefighters have been deployed to the mountains west of this affluent region, where celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis own pricey getaways. Five more hotshot crews arrived Saturday, and more are expected to arrive this weekend to continue focusing on protecting homes in a sparsely populated county.
"It was a good day from the standpoint that we had no injuries, no lives lost, and no homes and property burned," fire spokeswoman Lucie Bond said. "Firefighters have been going house-to-house to decrease the risk. We're simply not going to leave homes unprotected."
Elsewhere, in northern Utah, about 10 homes were destroyed when a wildfire raced through the community of Willow Springs late Friday. As of midday Saturday, the Patch Springs Fire had burned more than 50 square miles. It was 20 percent contained.
The Beaver Creek Fire is the nation's top-priority wildfire, in part because it's burning so close to homes and subdivisions. Early Saturday, the firefight was hampered by thick smoke that engulfed Hailey, a town with 7,900 inhabitants 14 miles south of Ketchum, home of the Sun Valley Ski Resort.
Smoke stretching across the tight Big Wood River Valley also grounded the air attack on the blaze, putting more pressure on fire crews building fire lines on the ground. But by midday, the smoke cleared enough to scramble helicopters that targeted fires burning in the mountains and foothills that shoulder Hailey and north to Ketchum.
Fire managers also turned to a huge DC-10 tanker to resume retardant drops all across a fire that is burning hotter and faster than the Castle Rock Fire that threatened these towns in 2007.
"This fire is consuming everything," fire spokeswoman Madonna Lengerich said. "The fire is so hot, it's just cremating even the biggest trees."
Ketchum, with a population of 2,700, and Sun Valley, with 1,400 people, were under "pre-evacuation orders," with authorities telling residents to be ready to leave if necessary. Many in those towns heeded the advice as the exodus heading south on Highway 75 continued to slow traffic through the valley.
Ketchum's tony retail and dining districts, normally buzzing this time of year with tourists and summer residents, resembled a ghost town. Dozens of retail shops, bars, outdoor cafes and restaurants on the town's main street closed their doors Saturday. Even The Casino, the city's oldest bar, closed its doors to the surprise of residents. The Casino was established in 1936.
"I've never seen it like this," said Dale Byington, general manager and 23-year veteran of The Sawtooth Club. The business was one of a handful of restaurants open on or near Main Street, but it closed early Saturday because of a lack of business.
"The only reason I opened was to give people here a place to go and get some food and drink, but that's not going to happen," Byington said.
Fire officials are hoping the weather cooperates Sunday, when temperatures are expected to cool.
In Utah, fire managers eyed the weather Saturday as crews continued battling several blazes, including the Patch Springs Fire in Tooele County.
The fire was relatively tame until Friday, when shifting winds pushed it over state Highway 199. Flames raced through Willow Springs, about 60 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, and forced the sudden evacuation of homes there and in the community of Terra, as well as a campground.
The highway and campground remained closed Saturday, but residential evacuations were being lifted.
Near Park City, Utah, crews reported progress battling a fire that destroyed eight homes earlier in the week.
That blaze has burned about 3 square miles and was 58 percent contained Saturday, spokeswoman Julie Booth said.

Diversity and Study Abroad
Studying abroad is an opportunity that students eagerly anticipate. It is a rewarding and life changing time to learn about a new culture and to study in a foreign classroom. However, it is important to carefully consider study abroad program options and know that various countries around the world have different perspectives on diversity. UNC and the Center for International Education seek to encourage and support students of diverse backgrounds in the study abroad process.
As a student interested in studying abroad, conducting research before choosing a program, as well as spending time to prepare before leaving is essential to having a successful study abroad experience. The CIE-Study Abroad staff can assist you in answering questions about study abroad, seeking out returned students from a similar background, finding the right program for you, talking with your family and loved ones involved in your study abroad decision, and managing your expectations for your time abroad.
Cultural Difference
All students experience cultural difference when studying abroad—in fact this is one of the most exciting things about the experience. From different food, languages, family values, you will encounter cultural nuances daily. Around the world, expression of gender identity, sexual orientation, race, disability, and other identities vary greatly.
On this page, CIE has gathered some things to think about and resources for GLBT students; students with disabilities; first-generation students; racial and ethnic minorities; and adult learners and veterans who are interested in, or who are already planning on studying abroad.

Here on Brandish we love a bit of sartorial realism. While Jason deals with cool buys and indie-labels, I tend to veer towards the bright lights of magazines and the high-octane glamour of ridiculously expensive items (WISHLIST anyone?) and the glossy adverts they inhabit.
I do love the high-street and so, with editor's camera in hand and a trusty phone in the other (who knows what pickle one could get into asking for photos on the streets of Camden?) I set off to find London's fashionistos.

Hot Bush Presents Ms. Paltrova
Gabriella Paltrova travelled to sign-up for a exclusive yoga exercise class. Having looked at the girl's beautiful body, by way of a form fitting apparel, the trainer got a good idea and informs her he can offer her an initial course without charge, today.
Join The Official Hot Bush Website For The Lowest Price Around.
Dresses may not be the best garments for yoga stretches, but fortunately the girl's close friend arrives with a, skimpy, little outfit. As she got changed we got a glance at the girl's amazing body and scorching bush. The woman starts off the training session, by stretching out and moving in various postures. In one particular stance the top of her long bush pokes out of her pants. The trainer is a sucker for perfectly trimmed bush and simply can't resist. The guy slowly starts off rubbing that pussy hair and after no complaint is seen he side grips the entire crotch.

Bally Total Fitness, Chicago, will appeal a New York appeals court decision to allow a case involving the non-use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) to move forward.
Bally sought dismissal of the case, Gregory C. Miglino Jr. v. Bally Total Fitness of Greater New York Inc., in which a member at its club in Lake Grove, NY, experienced a heart attack while playing racquetball. The club had an AED on site, as required by New York's General Business Law 627-a, but the AED was not used. Bally stated that the Good Samaritan Law prevented it from being sued for its staff not using the AED.
However, on Dec. 27, the Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division Second Judicial Department ruled that Bally could be sued because New York's General Business Law 627-a supersedes the Good Samaritan Law, which gives immunity from liability to anyone who renders aid in an emergency or provides an AED on site, as long as their actions are not grossly negligent.
Bally disagrees with the New York Appellate Division Second Department's decision, according to a statement from the company.
"Bally believes that the New York Appellate Division First Department correctly ruled in a prior case (Digiulio v. Gran Inc.) that health clubs have 'no common law duty to use' an AED and that New York's AED statute (GBL sec. 627-a) does not 'implicitly obligate the club to use its AED,'" the Bally statement says. "The DiGiulio decision was upheld by New York's highest court on 6/14/11 and, for that reason, Bally intends to ask that same court to reverse the Miglino decision."
The incident at the heart of the ruling occurred around 7 a.m. in March 2007 when Gregory C. Miglino Sr. collapsed while playing racquetball at the Bally club. One of Bally's personal trainers, Kenneth LaGrega, found Miglino with his eyes open, a weak pulse and breathing heavily, according to the ruling. A member notified the front desk to call 911. Another employee brought the club's AED to the scene where a medical doctor and medical student, who were members of the club, then began attending to Miglino, according to LaGrega's affidavit. The AED was not used on Miglino, although no specific reason was given for its non-use.
The court's ruling states that LaGrega's affidavit suggests he deferred to the doctor who had come to aid Miglino. An ambulance crew arrived at 7:07 a.m. and transported Miglino to the hospital "unconscious and unresponsive." He was pronounced dead at the hospital at 7:45 a.m.
The deceased's son, Gregory C. Miglino Jr., then filed a lawsuit against Bally to recover damages for negligence, due to the failure to use the AED on his father.
In a similar case, Digiulio v. Gran Inc. d/b/a New York Health & Racquet Club, the New York Appellate Division, First Department, stated that while New York's business law requires health clubs to have AEDs and people trained to use them on the premises, it does not state whether clubs have the duty to use them.
However, in the Miglino case, the Appellate Division, Second Department, said in its decision that a club does have such a duty. The court states that the legislative intent behind the General Business Law was for AEDs to be available for use at health clubs.
"Why statutorily mandate a health club facility to provide the device if there is no concomitant requirement to use it?" the court's ruling states. "This conclusion is further buttressed by the fact that the legislature deemed it appropriate to partially immunize the health clubs from liability, which may arise from their use of the AED, by including language within General Business Law 627-a that referenced the 'Good Samaritan' provisions of the Public Health Law…Such 'protection' could be considered superfluous if the statute did not also impose a duty upon the health clubs to use, or attempt to make use of, the device, depending upon the circumstances of the particular medical emergency."
Robert Bovarnick, an attorney at Bovarnick and Associates LLC in Philadelphia, says that because this decision was to decide whether the case against Bally was to be dismissed, not whether the AED should be used, the decision does not necessarily mean club operators are compelled to use their AEDs.
The decision also does not state that Bally was liable for not using the AED, Bovarnick says, just that the case against it could move forward.

The City Council authorized Mayor Dawn Zimmer on Wednesday to pay an undisclosed amount of money to settle a suit brought by the city's former Environmental Services Director Jennifer Maier, who alleged that she was wrongfully terminated in 2011. The resolution passed with five affirmative votes and one abstention from Councilwoman Theresa Castellano. Council members Tim Occhipinti and Beth Mason were not present for the vote.
Zimmer's administration has already settled another case with an employee who was terminated when she took office, and has to pay $1 million to a third, although the city is appealing the latter case. The former case was a small five-figure payout.
City spokesman Juan Melli would not comment last week on the size of the settlement or anything else related to the case. br>
"If that's what it took to help those people, then that's what it took." – Theresa Castellano
Before voting on Wednesday, the council discussed the case in closed session with attorney Gerald Krovatin, who represents the city in the case. According to the resolution granting Zimmer settlement authority, the amount was suggested by Krovatin during the closed session.
City attorney Mellissa Longo said the amount of the settlement will remain confidential until the case is officially settled.
Maier declined to comment on the case on the advice of her lawyer, Louis Zayas of North Bergen. Zayas' receptionist said he was out of the office and unavailable for comment until Aug. 10.
Relationship gone sour?
When Zimmer hired Maier in February 2010 from Central Jersey, the city touted her resume as a public works manager, certified planner, and architect, even posting a copy of it on the city website.
"Given the city's urgent task of building a new municipal garage, Ms. Maier brings an array of expertise that Hoboken needs for this position," said Zimmer at the time.
Just 16 months later, however, the city announced that Maier would no longer serve as environmental services director. At the time, it would not say if Maier had resigned or been asked to leave.
In the complaint filed with her lawsuit against Hoboken, Maier alleges she was fired after Zimmer learned of a dinner Maier had with former Public Safety Director Angel Alicea. (Alicea is the one who won the $1 million judgment that the city is appealing.)
At the dinner, according to paperwork, Alicea allegedly told Maier he had been forced to resign after complaining about illegal activities committed by the city. Maier said in the complaint that she told Alicea "to do whatever he felt was necessary to clear your name, and to go ahead against Zimmer by filing the lawsuit."
Following the meal, Maier said she was accused of trying to "sabotage" Zimmer. She said the city subsequently limited her responsibilities and fired her. Since 2012, Maier has served as the borough administrator in Union Beach, N.J., where she has been cited in newspaper articles as helping the area recover from Hurricane Sandy.
Zayas also represents Carmelo Garcia, who was fired from his role as Hoboken Housing Authority executive director last week (see cover story), in his ongoing litigation against the city. Zayas often represents former government workers who allege they were discriminated against.
City seeking settlement
According to court documents, Zayas sought many answers from the city during the case's pre-trial proceedings. The information sought included the role Zimmer's husband Stan Grossbard allegedly plays in running the city, and detailed information about any and all instances of alleged discrimination involving the city or any city employee.
In May, Kimberley Wilson, the city's former affirmative action officer, wrote to the court expressing concerns that answering Zayas' questions would, among other things, violate the city's affirmative action/anti-harassment policy by causing the disclosure of information that individuals had been told would remain confidential.
This rationale appeared to be unpersuasive to Superior Court judge Barry Sarkisian. On June 10, he granted limitations on the scope of some questions and struck others, but ordered that Zimmer and the city provide answers to the majority of them within 10 days.
Eight days later, Krovatin sent a letter to the court stating that Hoboken and Zimmer had reached a settlement with Maier.
On June 26, Judge Mary Costello filed an order of dismissal, closing the court docket. It could not be ascertained if answers to the questions were ever provided.
Timing of Housing Authority grant questioned
Also at Wednesday's council meeting, the council voted to permit Zimmer to write a Letter of Need in support of the Hoboken Housing Authority's application for a $10 million infrastructure rehabilitation grant from the state.
If secured, the funds will be focused specifically on fixing damages caused by Superstorm Sandy. At Wednesday's council meeting, HHA Board Chair Dana Wefer said the money could potentially fund new boilers, plumbing, sidewalks, roofs, elevators and other physical improvements.
The letter of need received unanimous support from the council and mayor. However, some council members and residents questioned why the council waited to approve such a request until the housing board's firing of housing director Carmelo Garcia (see cover story), who has engaged in a very public feud with Zimmer and her allies on the board.
Castellano had some of the strongest criticism of the timing.
"It's always been most of our goals to improve living at the Housing Authority," she said. "It didn't seem that way until the termination of the executive director, and that's exactly what this is all about."
"If that's what it took to help those people, then that's what it took," said Castellano of Garcia's firing, adding that she hoped the situation could be a "new start" for the Housing Authority despite the "despicable" circumstances surrounding it.
Wefer called placement of the letter resolution on the council's agenda the same week as Garcia's termination "unfortunate timing," but maintained that they were not related. Wednesday's council meeting was the last before the grant committee's Aug. 14 deadline (which has since been pushed back to September) and Wefer said the Housing Authority's application was only recently completed.
Workers' comp claims
The council granted Zimmer the authority to settle city-related workers' compensation matters valuing $21,500 or less for the rest of the year, by a vote of 5-3. Settlements are only eligible if Hoboken's corporation counsel, business administrator, and mayor agree in writing that they are in the best interest of the city.
Prior to the change, all workers' compensation settlements had to be approved by the council.
The original resolution requested by the Zimmer administration asked for the power to settle any pending litigation in an amount equal to or lower than $21,500 without council consent, but it was amended in response to the concerns of council members.
Still, some remained suspicious of the change.
"I don't know why this dais would want to give away its authority over settlement matters," said Councilman Occhipinti.
"The council is the board that's responsible for the city's finances," he added, "and it should know about every dime to know about of the taxpayers' money."
Ultimately, the measure passed with the five Zimmer allies in support and council members Occhipinti, Russo, and Castellano in opposition.
In addition, four mayoral appointees to the Hoboken Rent Leveling and Stabilization Board were approved by a vote of 6-1. Eileen Lynch and Jason Mauer will be regular members, while Dennis Stefanitsis and Eric Osborn-Focht will serve as first and second alternates respectively. All will serve through the end of 2017.
Questions about appointees to rent board
The single dissenting vote, Bhalla, said Zimmer appeared to be seeking a "balanced board" by appointing equal numbers of rent control tenants and landlords. Based on his prior experience as a rent board attorney, Bhalla argued that the city should instead select "disinterested members of our community" who can look at the issues without bias. Rent board members, he said, should "represent Hoboken, not landlords or tenants."
Council President Jen Giattino said she didn't see why a landlord couldn't make an unbiased decision. "If there's a law, you can follow the law," she said.

LITTLE ROCK (AP) — An Arkansas lawmaker is proposing that the state require recipients of state unemployment benefits to pass a drug test.
Republican Sen. Jeremy Hutchinson of Benton on Tuesday filed legislation that would require applicants for unemployment benefits to undergo a drug test. The bill calls for drug testing to be administered to a random group of applicants before the first and thirteenth weekly payments.
Anyone who refuses to take a drug test could not receive unemployment benefits under the proposal.
Similar legislation was filed in the 2011 session, but failed before a Senate committee.

What is EUCLID?
EUCLID is the definitive electronic identification and information system now covering all 894 eucalypts of Australia in the one publication.
Using Lucid software, EUCLID was produced by the Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research from the Australian National Herbarium database of over 60,000 eucalypt specimens as well as information derived from glasshouse studies for details of comparative juvenile morphology, and from widespread field observations. It was first published in 1997, with a revised edition published in 2000 which included all the species of Angophora and a second edition published in 2002, covering all southern Australian eucalypts. This Third Edition, published in 2006, covers all Australian eucalypts.
Covering the morphology – habit, bark, leaves, flowers, fruits, buds, seeds and juveniles – and some geographic and ecological information, this is a simple means of naming a eucalypt plant or specimen using whatever information is available to you.
Easy to navigate fact sheets for each species include a botanical description, common name, the formal scientific name together with nomenclatural synonyms, geographic and ecological information, and notes covering relationships, distinguishing features and other species it might be confused with. This information is complemented with over 9000 high quality colour images covering each species, illustrating all the main features of the plant, and a map showing natural distribution.
This system will be invaluable to a wide range of botanists and ecologists, foresters, land managers, educators, conservationists and students interested in eucalypts.
- Covers Angophora, Corymbia and Eucalyptus
- Numerous images and distribution maps for each species
- Easy-to-use interactive identification key

In the wee small hours of the morning, in a palatial Florida manse, a prospective National Football League owner is dreaming fitfully about the future (sometimes in his own actual words)....
"Afternoon, folks, I'm Rush Limbaugh, and welcome to today's game featuring my very own St. Louis Rams. Soon to be renamed the Rushes. We're on the road today, in one of those godforsaken un-American cities, whose team is called the Eagles, which is just outrageous when you think about it, appropriating a patriotic icon like the American eagle, in a city that went belly up for the Messiah in the last election, I look around this stadium and I swear there are socialists up and down the aisles, like one of those newsreels of the crowd in Red Square - "
"Rush, can I interrupt?"
"Oh, mercy, where are my manners. Folks, I may have taken over the broadcasting duties for the Rushes, but not even I can do it alone. So I'm joined today by my color commentator, Sean Hannity. Sean, you wanna set the stage for today's tilt? I know my guys are pumped up, ready to prove that an all-white squad can win big even with the liberal media against it."
"It's clear and cold here in Philly, Rush, 22 degrees at game time, and don't you think that must drive the global-warming alarmists crazy?"
"Absolutely, those extremists are no better than the Taliban and Iran, because - oh wait, sorry, folks, we've been talking so much we missed the kickoff. Eagles start from their own 35. The snap to Donovan McNabb. Fakes left, rolls right, throws...oh for pete's sake, it's complete to Brian Westbrook for a pickup of nine. Bet the media will make a real big deal out of that one. It's like how they root for Obama. Obama, McNabb, Westbrook, whoever, the media is very desirous that we all feel guilty for slavery. You see a pattern here, folks? Liberal sellouts. Liberal sellouts have an affirmative action advantage in this league - "
"Rush? Excuse me, but you missed the next play. 56 yard TD, McNabb to Sean DeJackson."
"Or maybe it's DeSean Jackson, what difference does it make, a name like that. Just lookit the way they're all prancing around the end zone, disgusting, it's like the Crips and the Bloods. Folks, these minority players never have to do anything for which they have to apologize, and it's high time we called them out on this, instead of having our testicles locked up in a testicle lockbox - "
" - and it's just a joke. It is a joke. We have a swine flu epidemic, we're bombing the hell out of the moon, our dollar is worthless, the Messiah is designing our cars, the whole world would like to put a nuclear missile up our rectum, and my guys got the media against them because, folks, you know, if 100 percent of the players in the National Football League were black, the media would still treat them as though they just escaped bondage and, in fact, are still in it - "
"Excuse me, Rush. Remember the game? The Eagles just kicked off to our guys - "
"Well, that's mighty white of them."
" - but, well, look for yourself. We fumbled at the 20, and the Eagles just ran it in for a touchdown."
"Oh my golly gosh, will you look at that. No way I'm going to sit here all day and get bitch-slapped upside the head. I'm colorblind, and I treat everybody equally, but this is too much. Folks, this is too much. Sean, let's look ahead to next week. We at least gonna be playing somewhere in real America?"
"Rush, we play the Bears. We're going to Chicago, and...Hey, Rush, you OK? You don't look so good."
"Who draws up this schedule, Karl Marx? Folks, these schedulers are like agents of the nanny state, little nannies who want to control every aspect of all of our lives, and I'm not in that game. No way my guys are taking the field in Chicago. They can have the Olympics before they can have us. I'll play in Kenya before I play in the Messiah's backyard, because, folks, this is an issue of freedom and liberty, and next thing you know they'll make us have flu shots, bunch of busybody people - and hey, look at McNabb down there on the sidelines, smiling like he actually earned it, golly, that irritates the hell out of me. Anybody here got any OxyContin?"

Peter Rabbit Baby Toys & GiftsPeter Rabbit and Friends were created by Beatrix Potter, an English Author of the late 1800's – early 1900's. To this day, children continue to fall in love with her characters which is reflected in the continuing popularity of this charming brand.
Choose from a wide range of delightful Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle Duck baby and toddler toys and gifts ideal for birthdays, newborns and Christenings.

Written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter in 1901, The Tale of Peter Rabbit has sold over 40 million copies worldwide and was the first book Beatrix published; it has remained a favourite with children and adults alike for well over 100 years.
A further 5 books appeared featuring Peter over the years along with a menagerie of other animals from the Potter imagination, but it has always been Peter that has remained synonymous with the Beatrix Potter legacy.
We took the elements of a much-loved character and created this wonderful Peter Rabbit Gift Set which is hand finished here in our very own workshop. Consisting of a lovely comforter, a soft toy with an attachable ring and the original classic book, these are contained in a sturdy blue box with a magnetic front closure and the child's name across the top of the box in colourful letters. The box is wrapped in white tissue paper and we can handwrite a gift tag for you if you wish.
My First Peter Rabbit is the quintessential birth toy for a new baby. With all embroidered features, this rabbit is completely safe for the youngest baby but this doesn't mean that detail has been skimped; he still wears his beautiful blue jacket with added beetroot embroidery and carries the official Peter Rabbit patch on the bottom of his foot!
Produced in the image of another of Beatrix Potter's roster of much-loved characters is this stunning Jemima Puddle-Duck Musical. Made from china, the piece features a musical mechanism which plays Schubert's Lullaby whilst Jemima revolves gently. The ornamental part of the item features our beloved duck with her ducklings.
The tale of this mischievous rabbit has really entered the hearts of a nation and Peter continues to be the gift of choice for a new baby and upwards. With the vast amount of beautiful products now available, and more being added all the time, we are sure there is something for any occasion in this range.

The vote is largely symbolic, the outcome nearly assured: The Palestinians and Israelis are closely watching the evolving positions of a few key countries in Thursday's U.N. General Assembly resolution to raise the Palestinians' status from a U.N. observer to a nonmember observer state. The measure only requires a majority and is all but certain to pass.
The United States and Israel are strongly opposed, saying they fear it will only slow progress toward a peace deal.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has been lobbying Western countries, particularly in Europe, in hopes of presenting a broad international consensus against Israel. The international boost will also help him in his rivalry with Hamas, which gained popularity with Palestinians after battling Israel during eight days of fighting earlier this month.
Two-thirds of U.N. member nations have already recognized the state of Palestine.
— FRANCE: Yes. Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius made the announcement before parliament. "In any case, it's only through negotiations - that we ask for without conditions and immediately between the two sides - that we will be able to reach the realization of a Palestinian state," Fabius said Tuesday.
— CHINA: Yes. The foreign minister reaffirmed support for Palestinian aspirations at the U.N. during a meeting last Friday with a Palestinian envoy.
— SPAIN, NORWAY, DENMARK and SWITZERLAND: All announced Wednesday they would vote yes. The Swiss government called a change in status "both constructive and pragmatic."
—AUSTRIA: Yes. Martin Weiss, the foreign ministry spokesman, said Austria decided to vote for the resolution after it became clear there would be no common EU position.
—ICELAND. Yes. Iceland's foreign ministry said the country was "at the forefront of states that support the Palestinian cause" and hoped the resolution will help Palestine become a full-fledged UN member state.
—IRELAND: Yes. Ireland, which has long sympathized with the Palestinians, said it hoped the measure "will encourage the Palestinian people that they are slowly coming towards their goal," government minister Shane McEntee told the country's parliament.
— RUSSIA: Probably yes. It supported Palestinian membership in the U.N. cultural agency, UNESCO. The Russian Foreign Ministry said it "believes that the Palestinians have the right for such a move" but it added "we hope that the Palestinian leadership has well calculated possible consequences of such action."
—INDIA: Yes.
—GREECE: Yes.
— UNITED STATES: Opposed. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said U.N. recognition of an independent Palestine won't help to reach a lasting two-state peace agreement and stressed that the "path to a two-state solution that fulfills the aspirations of the Palestinian people is through Jerusalem and Ramallah, not New York."
—CANADA. Opposed. Canada is a staunch ally of Israel. Rick Roth, a spokesman for Canada's foreign minister, said any two-state solution must be negotiated and mutually agreed upon by both states. Roth said any unilateral action is ultimately unhelpful.
—GERMANY: No or abstain. It's "very certain that Germany will not vote for such a resolution," said Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert. Officials aren't saying whether that will translate into a no vote or an abstention.
—NETHERLANDS: Probably no. "Lasting peace in the region can only be reached if Israel and the Palestinians return to the negotiating table to reach a final agreement over a two-state solution," according to a letter the foreign minister sent to parliament this week.
— BRITAIN: Possibly abstain. The foreign secretary said Britain could support the measure only if there were a clear commitment by the Palestinians to return immediately and unconditionally to negotiations with Israel. "While there is no question of the United Kingdom voting against the resolution, in order to vote for it we would need certain assurances or amendments," said William Hague.
— AUSTRALIA: Abstain, according to Prime Minister Julia Gillard. Her government is divided on the issue, but Gillard told Parliament "bipartisan policy across the major parties in this parliament to support Israel, to support peace in the Middle East, to support two states in the Middle East."

After I had finally solved my problems with the sounds of the Latin's Alphabet (once more my thanks Luigi_Pirex) here I am again with a new problem.
How can we tell if a vowel is short or long only by the rules given in #12 of the book (page 18 of pdf).
I'm guessing (D'Ooge doesn't mention nothing about) that in words that end with a vowel, this last vowel can be short or long depending on the grammatical function (like the last "A" in aqua that is short for the Nominative case and long for the Ablative case).
I also know that for the verbs in the consonant conjugation in the infinitive the last "E" before "-RE" is short while for the verbs of the second conjugation it is long. So here we have to know before in what conjugation the verb it is.
But in the other situations how can we know the quantity of the vowel if it isn't marked?
Given some examples from words of exercise #10 of the same page (I will mark long vowels with bold type):
1 – disce
Both vowels are short. Considering only the "I", were there anyway to know that vowel is short?
Because the "I" don't go with any of the rules given, how could we know?
If there aren't anyway to tell, is there any propose in memorizing the #12 rules?
2- sapientiam
Here all vowels are short once more. There are reasons for all vowels except the first "A". Once more is it possible to know that without had seen the word before with that indication?
In other subject, but related, how can I know if the combination of 2 vowels are a diphthong or not?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Eveleth Man Accused of Stabbing Brother Twice
EVELETH - A 23-year-old Eveleth man who's accused of stabbing his younger brother twice has been arrested on tentative charges of first-degree assault.
The 20-year-old victim remains hospitalized in critical condition.
Eveleth police received a report Friday afternoon of a stabbing. They say a male caller told dispatchers he had just stabbed his brother.
The caller allegedly made threats about also having a loaded gun. Police surrounded the home, and after a 30-minute standoff persuaded the suspect to give himself up.
Police say a knife was recovered but no gun.
Investigators say they're still working to understand what started the altercation.

TACOMA, Washington (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier accused of killing five fellow servicemen at a military combat stress center in Baghdad in 2009 entered no plea at an arraignment on Monday at a military base in Washington state.
Sergeant John Russell, 48, is accused of going on a shooting spree at Camp Liberty, near the Baghdad airport, in an assault the military said at the time could have been triggered by combat stress.
Russell, of the 54th Engineer Battalion based in Bamberg, Germany, faces five charges of premeditated murder, one charge of aggravated assault and one charge of attempted murder in connection with the May 2009 shootings. Six months ago, he was ordered to stand trial in a military court that has the power to sentence him to death, if he is convicted.
Two of the five people killed in the shooting were medical staff officers at the counseling center for troops experiencing combat stress. The others were soldiers.
Russell, tall and broad-shouldered with a military crew-cut and glasses, was mostly silent during the 15-minute hearing, answering only "Yes, sir" and "No, sir" to the judge's questions.
Russell's attorney, James Culp, waived hearing of the charges on Russell's behalf and entered no plea for him, which is common practice in military justice procedure. No date has been set for the court-martial, but both military prosecutors and defense attorneys indicated on Monday that it could begin in March.
The arraignment, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Washington, comes at a sensitive time for the Army, which is in the process of deciding how to prosecute Staff Sergeant Robert Bales, a soldier accused of killing Afghan villagers in cold blood earlier this year.
A two-week hearing at Lewis-McChord to establish if there is sufficient evidence to send Bales to a court-martial wrapped up last week after harrowing testimony from Afghan adults and children wounded in the attack.
Bales' civilian defense lawyers have suggested he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
On Monday, Russell's attorney outlined a defense based on his declining mental state.
Russell suffered from depression, thoughts of suicide, anxiety and stress from multiple deployments, and suffered "at least one traumatic experience involving civilian casualties" and "mass grave sites" while serving in Bosnia and Kosovo during 1998 and 1999, Culp said in presenting arguments to the judge after the arraignment.
Culp and military defense lawyers, through telephone testimony presented by forensic psychiatric experts, told the judge they planned to use a Magnetic Resonance Imaging test to prove that Russell had brain damage.
Another defense witness testified that forensic hypnosis would be needed to unlock Russell's memories of the shootings on May 11, 2009.
Government witness Dr. Ronald Schouten, a forensic psychiatrist at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital, argued against the effectiveness of either.
"If we're doing brain imaging now, it doesn't tell us what it was three years ago," Schouten said. Later, he added: "Hypnosis has long been recognized as invalid and prone to providing inaccurate information."
Dr. Robert Sadoff of the University of Pennsylvania, one of the country's top experts in forensic psychiatry, is scheduled to testify as a defense witness on Tuesday.

This in-depth review on Outlast showcases everything right and wrong with one of the scariest games of all time. Anyone remotely interested in buying it should take a look!
'One of the Scariest games of all time' is a bit far for this one personally. The atmosphere is creepy at the start and add to the first few jump scares but it becomes soo tedious and predictable that it lost any horror aspect for me
But horror takes players differently, so theres alot of opinions about it :D
I guess 4 of you guys don't like it, but I do though. Despite its repetitiveness(all games to a degree have some repetition), the game does a good job of scarring the crap out of people. This game is way more scarier than Resident Evil, and Silent Hill combine, especially when (Spoiler Alert) when you finally face the ghost Billy, you saw in the night rainy graveyard area. I like the fact that there is no weapons for you to use against these guys, which increases the fear factor compared to other so called horror games. Remember guys this game like Slender, and Amnesia are low budget Indy games. So don't expect to much out of the game. A low budget game that's well crafted and scarier than those other games I mention.
Well I don't think The Evil Within will be all that scary either. After watching that second gameplay video, where the main character use a bomb to blow up zombie like creatures, I scream Resident Evil 5 and 6. Look here 14:00 minutes at the end of the video:
Alien Isolation will be those Indy horror games with mainstream appeal combine. I am calling it my most anticipated game of 2014.
Look at the circumstances. The fact that it was free bumps this game up to a 9 outa 10. If I payed for it the score would drop to a 7 but seriously.... FREE. Every gripe that you have..... FREE... If this game didnt scare you and you are not a fan of this genre.... well then I dont know why you are here....... FREE
Edit: Got further in his review and he wants rocks and maps. He doesnt know they already announced an outlast 2 and he had to use the internet to look up where to go in this game. This guy needs more research and experience playing games before he rates it this low.

Elegant sand hill cranes, their long beaks and legs outstretched, seemed like a dream out of an artist's pallet as they glided into a flooded rice field to roost on Staton Island. With Mount Diablo illuminated by the setting sun as a backdrop, the cranes landed in the shallows within close proximity of the road to provide us with a world-class nature show just 30 minutes from Stockton.
Elegant sand hill cranes, their long beaks and legs outstretched, seemed like a dream out of an artist's pallet as they glided into a flooded rice field to roost on Staton Island. With Mount Diablo illuminated by the setting sun as a backdrop, the cranes landed in the shallows within close proximity of the road to provide us with a world-class nature show just 30 minutes from Stockton.
The fall migration is underway, and the Central Valley and Delta will host upwards of 6 million ducks, geese, swans and cranes, the true focal point of critical habitat in the Pacific Flyway on which these birds rely.
Noted Sacramento artist Dixie Laws, a patron of The Nature Conservancy that controls Staton Island, part of the Cosumnes River Preserve, looked skyward at cranes flying directly overhead on Thursday night, hoisting a glass of wine and giving a toast to the birds.
"What magnificent, ancient birds," she said, noting cranes often are depicted in Asian paintings. "Their distinctive red patches on their heads, grey bodies and atavistic calls are iconic characteristics that everyone should see and hear. We're so fortunate to live so close to the uplands and marshes these special birds depend upon."
Through February there are so many nearby venues to watch and photograph migratory birds it would be difficult to visit them all. If you wish to give them a try, here is a list of my favorites.
� Cosumnes River Preserve - The visitor's center is located off Twin Cities Road, east of Interstate 5, on Franklin Boulevard near Galt. Highlights: A boardwalk to observe seasonal wetlands and an accessible trail through the old-growth riparian forest. The visitor's center is open weekends while trails are open daily, sunrise to sunset. The preserve's Staton Island unit is accessible west of I-5 off Walnut Grove Road by turning south on Staton Island Road. Free entry. Information: cosumnesriverpreserve.org.
� San Luis National Wildlife Refuge - It is set just north of Los Banos off Highway 165 on Wolfsen Road, covering 15,322 acres and featuring a magnificent visitor's center with interactive displays, dioramas and natural history of the Grassland Ecological Area, the largest contiguous wetlands complex in California. Highlights: Two auto tour routes allow adventurers to view a herd of 50 or more tule elk and thousands of migratory waterfowl, walking trails and viewing platforms. Free entry. Open daily. Information: (209) 826-3508; fws.gov/sanluis/.
� Merced National Wildlife Refuge - It is part of San Luis NWR, but worth a mention because of the massive numbers of geese - Ross', snow and white-fronted - and a collective of more sand hill cranes than anywhere in the entire West. An auto tour route passes next to corn and grain fields planted especially for the geese and cranes allows for close observation. Free entry. Open daily from sunrise to sunset. Informational kiosks are excellent aides for visitors. Located 8 miles south of Merced off Highway 59 on Sandy Mush Road. Information: fws.gov/sanluis/merced or (209) 826-3508.
� San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge - Established in 1987, this 7,000-acre refuge features riparian woodlands, wetlands and grasslands, and is the major wintering areas for Aleutian cackling geese, other goose species and a variety of rare songbirds. Check out the new 3.8-mile nature trail, complemented by informational kiosks and picnic areas. The refuge is set west of Modesto near the confluence of the Stanislaus and San Joaquin rivers off Highway 132. Head north on Gates Road and take Beckwith Road to the entrance. Open daily sunrise to sunset. Information: fws.gov/sanjoaquinriver/.
If you're not quite ready to strike out on your own, the Department of Fish and Game offers a number of guided tours at little or no fee. These tours generally run two hours or less and are perfect for families with children.
Here's a sampling:
� Sand hill crane tours - Offered the first three weekends of each month at Woodbridge Ecological Reserve near Lodi. Docent-led tours start approximately 90 minutes before sundown and run about 30 minutes after sunset. Pre-tour registration required at dfg.ca.gov/delta/cranetour. The south unit of the reserve is open anytime and offers interpretive panels and viewing areas. Information: (209) 948-7708.
� Tundra swan tours - Driving in guided caravans along rice fields near Marysville, on Saturdays in December at 9:30 a.m. and again at 1 p.m. Little walking required. Observe swans, ducks, geese, cranes, shorebirds, pelicans and raptors. Pre-registration required at dfg.ca.gov/regions/2/swantours. Information: (916) 358-2852.
� Wetlands tours - Given between 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. weekends at Gray Lodge Wildlife Area near Gridley, one of the premiere birding destinations in the West. Chances to view waterfowl, shorebirds and native animals, with tours led by local experts on a 1/3-mile stroll on a paved trail to an elevated viewing deck. Discussions cover wildlife adaptations, natural history, conservation and wildlife identification. Pre-registration not required. Information: (530) 846-7505; email@example.com.
� Elkhorn Slough tours - Given weekends at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the ecological reserve located near Moss Landing off Highway 1. Binoculars and bird books are available to borrow at no cost. The visitor center and main overlook are accessible. Pre-registration not required.Information: elkhornslough.org.
� Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area tours - Given the second Saturday of each month, 9 a.m. to noon. Join an experienced field trip leader and learn about the 16,000-acre wildlife area, set just minutes west from Sacramento off Interstate 80. View seasonal and permanent wetlands, native grasslands and young riparian forests.

Olga de Amaral and Four Emerging Artists Explore Art-Making as Self-Discovery
Artsy Editorial
Adeline de Monseignat's kinetic sculptures and installations are inspired by surrealism, the art of Louise Bourgeois, and Freud's concept of the uncanny—the ghostly, creepy, or unfamiliar. "I also like to play with that tension of attraction-repulsion," she has said. Created with tactile elements such as fur, glass, and globs of wet ink, de Monseignat's works are built to trigger strong and often uncomfortable emotional responses. Her sculpture of a double-decker sandwich stuffed with oozing paint exemplifies the artist's eye for extreme juxtaposition. De Monseignat's recent series of "creature-sculptures" features silky furs encased inside ovular glass objects with anthropomorphizing touches; in one case she placed a swaddle-like cloth around the creation. Inspired, in part, by feminist artists' use of unconventional materials, the young de Monseignant has rapidly risen to prominence thanks to her ability to elucidate complex theoretical concepts.
