Peugeot Metropolis - 3 wheel scooter, three wheel bike, three wheel scooter
New for summer 2015, the Blue-Line is a special edition of the Peugeot Metropolis 3-wheel scooter. Its distinctive two-tone bodywork is inspired by the latest automotive colour trends and is enhanced by machined black wheels with blue detailing and a dual-texture sport seat, highlighted with blue stitching. The Blue-Line also gets a low-profile smoked sport windscreen and black engine casing.
Power is supplied by Peugeot's new 400i Low Friction Engine, which is quiet, smooth and delivers excellent fuel economy. The two front wheels tilt when cornering, so the Metropolis corners and steers like a motorcycle, but with three tyres gripping the road, it is reassuringly stable, whatever the conditions. Riders can lock the Metropolis upright at the push of a button, for improved stability in slow-moving/stationary traffic, at the petrol pumps and for ease when pushing it into a parking space.
Synchro Braking links the twin 200mm front disc brakes and 240mm rear for powerful and controlled stopping. Tyre pressure monitors, with a real time display in the dashboard, are included as standard. Other technical features include an electronic key-less ignition that is recognised within 1.5 m of the Metropolis and and electric parking brake' operated by a switch located in the centre of the handlebars. Daytime LED running lights. Twin storage bays located beneath the seat and boot can be independently opened remotely using buttons on the dashboard and a 12-volt power socket is in the glove box.
The multi-position windscreen can be adjusted to suit without tools. The Peugeot Metropolis Blue-Line is an A2 category motorcycle but can can be ridden on a car licence by drivers who passed their test before 19 January 2013. It sells for £7199- on the road and is covered by a two year unlimited mileage manufacturer's warranty.
Metropolis: noun, from the Greek "meter", meaning "mother" and "polis" meaning "city", denoting a great city, an area of enthusiasm, innovation and influence, whose infrastructure facilitates exchange and contributes to its influence.
Peugeot Metropolis is also the name of the new 3-wheeled urban scooter, which stands out thanks to its style, its compact size and its dynamic capacities which provide a new type of shape: the urban electron.
With over a century's experience in 2 and 4-wheeled vehicles, who else but Peugeot could produce a vehicle like this? Who better than Peugeot can understand both the needs of drivers and aficionados of two-wheeled vehicles alike to offer the best synthesis? Who better than Peugeot to design tomorrow's mobility today?
Born from the joint efforts of the teams at Automobiles Peugeot and Peugeot Scooters, Peugeot Metropolis represents every facet of the Brand's know-how, combining the advantages of a car and a scooter into one package.
Stable and safe, protecting and comfortable, high performance and practical - this scooter represents the modern vision of a new type of 3 dimensional mobility.
Perfectly proportioned and balanced, Peugeot Metropolis hints at dynamism, modernity and quality through its fluid lines, its smooth outlines and elegant interplay between materials. But its chrome trim means that Peugeot Metropolis cannot hide its genetic, cat-like origins: it regenerates the Brand's new aesthetic codes and adopts the "floating" radiator grill that characterises the brand's new vehicles. The link with the automobile world, which was hinted at with the two wheels at the front, is now clear.
Positioned like a mouth under the headlights, the radiator grill lightens the front of the scooter by masking the upper part of the front axle and customises the vehicle by emphasing its look.
Supported by all possible technological innovations, Peugeot Metropolis offers two powerful 2x55W halogen bulbs and features LEDs in each of the 2 visual optics and in the offset indicators for a new, high tech visual signature.
The boomerang-shaped lights at the rear seem to merge into the bodywork. Here again, the LEDs light up the night, imprisoned between two shafts of light like 2 luminous claws. The dual-appearance chrome and brushed aluminium Lion sparkles like a gem, sunk into the rear hatch like a jewel box.
The sophisticated Peugeot Metropolis also plays the materials card by elegantly combining pearl, metal and chrome.
With its dynamic and exceptional qualities, Peugeot Metropolis gives a new dimension to the road and reveals new driving sensations.
A real technological gem, the Dual Tilting Wheels (DTW) front axle is composed of a dual triangulation deformable parallelogram, whose precision mechanic-style architecture enables the centre of gravity to be lowered and mass to be better centred. Combined with 2 dynamic drums and hydraulic single suspension, this front axle has independent, tilting wheels that can be locked electrically at low speed.
The design of the pressure-injected aluminium suspension elements also provides two advantages: additional stiffness and a reduction in non-suspended mass, lightening the steering and making control easier.
The product of automotive technology, this innovative front axle guarantees exceptional road-holding. Its compact architecture is also compatible with a completely flat floor, a first in this sector.
The solid Peugeot Metropolis nevertheless remains a compact scooter, with a length, width and wheelbase comparable to Satelis which, thanks to innovative technical choices, gives it impressive ease in traffic.
In addition to its ground links, Peugeot Metropolis has 3 disks (2x200 mm front / 1x240 mm rear) and SBC (Synchro Braking System) controlled integral braking for more effectiveness through the left hand lever, according to Peugeot's braking philosophy. One specific feature on this 3-wheeled scooter is the foot pedal, imposed by engine-powered tricycle legislation, which also controls the integral braking.
Designed to be driven in major urban centres, Peugeot Metropolis has non-spherical rear view mirrors, whose convex surface removes blind spots and gives drivers peace of mind in towns.
Peugeot Metropolis is a concentration of amazing technologies, whose mission is to significantly improve passenger comfort and safety, thanks to innovations which are as technically perfect as they are simple to use.
One visually remarkable element is the total absence of any ignition switch or lock on the vehicle: the traditional key is no more; Peugeot Metropolis has an electronic Smart Key which is recognised when the driver is within a 150 cm radius. To start the vehicle, the driver simply needs to unlock the steering, release the vehicle electronically by turning the button that replaces the ignition switch and start the engine by pressing the START button and the brake lever at the same time.
The Peugeot Metropolis has the same electric parking brake found on the Brand's premium cars. Located in the centre of the handlebars, it can be accessed easily and activated by pressing it.
As the driver sees it, the dashboard would not look out of place in a luxury saloon. The perfectly balanced digital display, framed by a mileometer and rev counter, includes a function to monitor the pressure of each wheel, as well as average and minimum consumption and remaining autonomy indicators. In addition, the dashboard is pre- equipped for a sat nav system. Another first for the driving position: the danger button (hazard warning lights) it backlit as soon as it is activated.
The wide and profiled thermoformed windscreen has a new multi-position setting adjustment system (over 130 mm) to offer optimum protection. The driver can lower or raise the windscreen in under 5 seconds just by pressing on it. Nothing could be simpler!
Midway between a car and a scooter, the Peugeot Metropolis cuts no corners when it comes to performance or comfort.
It is powered by Peugeot's new 400i LFE low impact engine, which develops 35 HP and offers 38 Nm of torque. Despite its size, it has a top speed of nearly 150 kph and is almost as quick when the driver is carrying a passenger.
Particularly comfortable to ride, it provides reassurance straight away thanks to its low seat height, which is measured at 780 mm. In addition to an adjustable windscreen, the driver also has a backrest that can be adjusted by 40 mm at the front and back for ideal support.
At red lights, the DTW concept front axle tile locking system that can be triggered at low speeds enables the scooter to stabilise itself, meaning that the driver does not need to put their feet on the ground.
Passenger comfort is also enhanced thanks to an integrated backrest, profiled handles and clippable ergonomic foot plates.
Finally, for extra travelling comfort, Peugeot Metropolis offers an illuminated boot that can take either one full helmet and 1 open face helmet, a PC case or a tennis racket, for example.
For more comfort, the storage area under the seat can be accessed by pressing a button on the front panel, while access to the rear hatch is controlled by a button at the rear left of the vehicle. The glove compartment under the rear panel provides a 12V socket to recharge a mobile phone on the move.

PEUGEOT METROPOLIS FAQs
1. What is it? In layman's terms, the Peugeot Metropolis is a 3-wheel scooter. The DVLA classify it as a "tricycle (not over 450kg unladen)". Annual VED (road tax) is £80.00.
2. What are the UK driving licence requirements? The Peugeot Metropolis is classed as a Category A2 motorbike under European law. However, in the UK you can drive a motor tricycle of any power rating if you're over 21 and have a full car driving licence issued before 19th January 2013. Otherwise you'll need a category A2 motorbike licence to ride the Peugeot Metropolis.
3. Why does it have three wheels? With two front wheels that tilt when cornering and one rear wheel, the triangulated design of the Peugeot Metropolis offers a level of balance, grip and road-holding that is in a different leage to traditional two-wheel scooters and motorcycles. This is especially noticeable at low speeds and in adverse weather conditions.
4. What is Synchro Braking? Peugeot's SBC links the two front and single rear disc brakes for controlled and balanced stopping power. It effectively eliminates front end 'dive' and encourages the vehicle to remain stable, even under hard braking. Peugeot were the first motorcycle manufacturer to introduce ABS, but found SBC was a lighter and less expensive alternative that offered similar advantages in everyday use. The right hand brake lever operates the two front disc brakes, while the left hand lever operates all the vehicle brakes simultaneously, as does the brake pedal on the floor pan.
5. How does the price of the Peugeot Metropolis compare to similar vehicles? The only other manufacturer to offer a 3-wheel scooter is Piaggio. At £6999- the Peugeot Metropolis 400i is priced between the Piaggio MP3 Yourban 300ie (£6034) and MP3 500IE SPORT ABS (£7634). Most large capacity 2-wheel executive scooters sell for >£8500 (e.g. Yamaha T-Max 500, BMW C600 Sport and Suzuki Burgman 650).
6. Are technological features included as standard? Yes. Tyre pressure monitors with a real time display in the dashboard, electric parking brake and keyless ignition operated by a smart fob are all standard.

January 13, 2010
By Justin Tang
LOS ANGELES -- After several long nights and numerous coffee runs, teams of UCLA Anderson students gathered at Korn Hall on Saturday January 9, to present their reports on ways to improve the Starbucks brand for the annual Deloitte Case Competition. This year, twenty-five teams of five students each participated in the competition, which began Thursday night and concluded Saturday afternoon with one team winning a $3,250 check from Deloitte.
The fictional case asked each team to develop recommendations on how to improve the Starbucks brand, which was said to be experiencing falling profits and increasing store closures. After working through the case from Thursday night on, teams were allotted twenty minutes for presentations and ten minutes for Q & A with a panel of judges. The panel consisted of UCLA Anderson professors and Deloitte representatives
After hours of presentations, Team E-Street Readers came away with the winning prize. The team, consisting of Annie Daun, Shirin Eghtesadi, Michael Jeun, Sajid Mohamedy, and David Rains, demonstrated a clear level of analysis and preparation, but more importantly, they performed well as a team. "We learned that in order for us to be successful, we needed to bond together as a team. We didn't let ourselves get into any kind of drama," Eghtesadi said.
Many of the judges clearly saw the team's cohesiveness. Eric Mark, principal at Deloitte, said, "We looked for a strong presentation and a team that had aligned views and showed unity by responding to the Q&A section in a well-prepared manner." Other judges looked for application of skills learned at Anderson. Hans Schollhammer, an Anderson professor, said, "It wasn't just about the presentation - we wanted to see an analytic effort. We wanted mathematical justification for each team's recommendation."

To the editor:
I would like to publically commend Marion County Commission and road director Randy Crawford for their commitment and efforts to improve numerous roads across our county.
A year ago, there were numerous county roads with high levels of traffic that were in disrepair and needing serious attention. Through the efforts of the commissioners and Crawford, the county road department and APAC greatly improved the means of transportation in the county. On behalf of the bus drivers and activity sponsors who transport students on a regular basis, safety has been greatly improved.
In regard to those who commute to jobs in other counties, access has been greatly improved. And in particular, for those living on these highly trafficked roads, livability has been greatly improved.
I appreciate the fact that Crawford is thinking forward to ongoing maintenance to protect the investment and build a plan for upkeep for all Marion County roads. In a time when budgets are tight, I commend the commissioners for thinking toward the future for the benefit of our entire county.

What effect would it have on your business if you could convert half of all women aged 50 and over who walked into your facility? Even Curves, with its rapid rise to the top of the franchise world, would be envious. Impossible you say? Or is it an overlooked opportunity? At the end of this column, you decide. Of the more than 108 million women over the age of 20 in the United States, about 22 million belong to a fitness club. That leaves 86 million adult women who are not club members — and 45 million of them are older than 50.
Within the 45 million, 50 percent of postmenopausal women over the age of 50 have the initial stages of osteopenia, and most of them don't even know it.
So what does this have to do with increasing your sales? Think about it. One out of every two of these women should be told to do weight-bearing exercise as part of their prescription to counter their initial bone loss. Unlike regular exercise, strength training is not optional. The reality is that there are more women over 50 years old who should be exercising due to this health issue than there are current female health club members.
To take advantage of this opportunity, club owners should be sure to create specific programming that will make them an attractive option for these older women.
The first step is to establish a need. Work with a screening organization to provide bone density screening and consultation (ensure that results are also sent to your client's physician). Until these potential members have been screened, they are unaware of the issue(s) they may face and the steps needed to address it. The most common avenues of osteoporosis prevention and management are hormone replacement therapy and/or drug interventions for post-menopausal women, nutritional supplementation and weight-bearing exercise. Studies indicate that estrogen plays a critical role in preventing the loss of bone mineral density, with calcium and weight-bearing exercise being important supporting components.
As part of their prescription, these women need to participate in a program that stresses the bones and muscles, increasing bone density and turning back the hands of time.
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation and the American College of Sports Medicine, weight-bearing exercise is a key part of the solution, especially to those in the early stages of osteopenia.
The following ideas can help you create programming that can be implemented for a variety of clients, depending on their stage of osteoporosis:
- Strength training
Studies prove bone mass and bone mineral density are maintained or improved through resistance exercise. Changes in bone mass and density are specific to the bones that are bearing the weight (resistance) during training. Programming idea: A Women-on-Weights 10-week strength-training program.
- Weight-bearing aerobic training
Studies indicate that some bone density improvement can be gained through aerobic training when compared with inactive controls. The gains are specific to the bones receiving the load and muscular force during the exercise. Programming idea: A low-impact osteofit aerobic class or walking class.
- Range of motion exercise
Maintaining and increasing flexibility improves overall mobility and contributes to proper gait and alignment. Stretching should be slow and controlled, avoiding unsupported forward flexion of the spine. Programming idea: A specialized yoga or Pilates class.
- Fall prevention
Appropriate forms of weight-bearing exercise include walking, standing and supervised strength training. Programming idea: A program to reduce the potential for falls and minimize the possibility for fractures.
- Gait training
Help participants understand the components of a normal gait, i.e. stride length and width, ankle flexion, heel strike, speed and cadence, and upright posture. Programming idea: A four-session gait evaluation and programming package.
- Balance training
Incorporate balance activities in classes, but be sure to provide wall, chair or partner support when practicing balance. Programming idea: A balance assessment program to help clients become more stable and reduce the potential for falls.
By taking these initial steps toward addressing bone health, your facility will become a key long-term partner for your members and potential members.

A 36-year-old Topaz Ranch Estates man faces four felonies in connection with allegations of sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl.
Joseph Bruan Bonilla is charged with three counts of sexual assault against a child under age 14 and one count of lewdness with a child under age 14.
He is in Douglas County Jail on $100,000 bail and appeared Friday in East Fork Justice Court.
The crimes allegedly occurred between May 28 and June 30, 2013.
Bonilla was arrested Wednesday on a warrant. Details of the case are sealed.
■ A 47-year-old Reno man was jailed without bail accused of violating terms of his lifetime supervision as a sex offender.
Frank Gerald Pepper was convicted in Douglas County in 2008 of luring a child under age 16. He admitted trying to arrange a date with a 13-year-old girl by posing as a 17-year-old on the Internet.
Pepper was sentenced to 18-72 months in Nevada state prison and placed on lifetime supervision as a sex offender.
During a recent probation check, an officer found cell phones hidden under a couch in Pepper's Reno home.
Phone records indicate he allegedly had contact with underage females.
Pepper is accused of possession of a device capable of accessing the Internet, accessing the Internet or having interaction with underage females, a felony.
He appeared Friday in East Fork Justice Court.

High PSA with negative staging results
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My father has recently been diagnosed with PC, which includes an alarming PSA result of 168 ng/ml. Gleason score of 3+3 = 6. He was also given the "all clear" with respects to tests performed on his chest, abdomen, lungs and bones. Any further information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Alan J. Wein, MD, Professor and Chair of the Division of Urology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
Ordinarily a PSA this high means that the tumor is outside of the prostatic capsule. The fact that the staging studies are negative is good news, but the most accurate study for local spread is a prostate MRI with a coil in the rectum. Rarely, one can see this level PSA with only "central gland" tumor, meaning tumor in the central part of the prostate (its usually in the peripheral part), without spread, but that is unusual at this level PSA. A level this high precludes radioactive seeds. Unless your dad is very young with a long life expectancy, one would probably choose external beam radiation over radical prostatectomy. However, one should consider a laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection, even though the nodes look normal on a pelvic CT scan. If the nodes were positive under the microscope, this would significantly impact the length of time hormonal therapy is recommended.

A woman was taken to Herington Municipal Hospital Monday with minor injuries incurred in a rollover accident on U.S. 56/77 near 330th Road in Marion County.
Herington Ambulance was the first EMS service called and the first responder on the scene. Lost Springs and Marion fire departments also responded.
The Kansas Highway patrol report states that Annette K. Walters of Andover was northbound on U.S. 56/77, drifted onto the gravel shoulder, corrected back onto the highway, and then overcorrected back off the roadway. The maneuver caused the vehicle to roll twice before settling approximately 50 feet from the highway in a grass field.
Walters was driving her 2008 Pontiac G6 which was totaled in the accident.

Setting Up an Emergency Medical File
Having good medical records at home for each family member could literally save their lives. Although your health care providers keep patient charts with medical information, it is important to have your own comprehensive medical file that can be referred to quickly in an emergency. It's also very useful to have while traveling, at doctor visits or when you need to find health related information for sports, camp and other activities. Having your own records also helps you take a more active role in your health care.
Everybody Needs One
Each person in your family needs their own medical file. Be sure to clearly mark each file with their name so it's easy to find the right one in an emergency. Using a different colored folder for each person makes it easier to know whose file you have.
What Information Goes In The Medical File?
Essential medical information should be carried with you at all times. Make a small card to put in your wallet or purse with your name, contact information for your doctor and a friend or relative. Include prescriptions you are talking and any medical conditions you have.
Your home medical record contains more details. The information should be organized so that the most critical information is easiest to find. Create categories for:
Keep all of your important phone numbers at the beginning of the file. In addition to being able to contact your health providers quickly, you can also use the list to contact friends and family in an emergency.
Numbers that should be on the list include:
- Doctors
- Pharmacy
- Hospital
- Clinics
- Dentist
- Family
- Friends/neighbors
- Therapists
Health Summary:
A single page synopsis of your medical condition and history is invaluable to emergency care personnel. Include important information that will help them assess your condition and alert them to things that help them determine to safest treatments. Be sure to indicate:
- Current prescriptions and medications
- Chronic conditions; asthma, diabetes, heart disease, HIV/AIDS, cancer, STDs etc.
- History of illnesses, hospitalizations, surgeries
- Allergies
- Family history of high blood pressure, diabetes, strokes, etc.
Keep a history of the doctor's appointments you have had. This is handy to check when your last physical took place, and to verify when you received care. You can also list upcoming appointments here.
Keep track of the calls/conversations you have had with your doctor or insurance company. Many times it's valuable to have the history of whom you have spoken to and what was stated when conflicting information is given in subsequent phone calls.
When traveling overseas, signing up for summer camps, sports or heading off to college, this immunization history is invaluable and time saving.
Keep a log of what medications are currently being taken, when they were prescribed, and what they are for. Indicate which pharmacy has filled each prescription. Include prescriptions you have taken in the past and the time period you were taking them.
Doctor's notes/Lab results:
Instructions from health care providers, lab tests, EKG, MRI, ultrasound printouts or other results that are mailed to you or given to you during visits to clinics.
History of Surgeries/Illnesses/Injuries:
A detailed description of illnesses, hospitalizations, onset of chronic diseases, surgeries, procedures and treatments you have received.
Keep your home medical records where they can be found easily in an emergency. Having your medical history at your fingertips can affect decisions that may impact your very life.

Seven residents at a private nursing home in Co. Meath were at risk of hypothermia, and food in the facility was scarce, when it was inspected by the Health Information and Quality Authority(HIQA), a court has heard.
HIQA was at Drogheda District Court seeking an order to cancel the registration of Creevelea House Nursing Home in nearby Laytown, which would effectively shut it down.
It's the fourth care home which the watchdog has closed or tried to close since it began inspecting all public and private nursing homes in mid-2009.
Earlier this month the authority obtained an order shutting down Rostrevor House Nursing Home in Rathgar, Dublin. The authority claimed management cover-ups and petrified nursing staff were to blame for a harrowing catalogue of physical abuse at Rostrevor.
In the latest case, a HIQA inspector told Drogheda District Court that Creevelea was not clean, there was no meat and the only fresh vegetables consisted of one bag of potatoes and a turnip when it was inspected last year.
The authority had concerns for a 93-year-old woman who might not have eaten for 24 hours. There was no nutritional plan for her and she had not been weighed.
The court was told that when inspectors arrived last year, after a report from a resident concerned about his care, they found "nobody running" the home and "nobody overseeing the management of residents."

Disgraced nursing home owner claims abuse allegations due to attractiveness of daughters
Nursing home owner covered up sexual attacks on elderly
In March of this year there was still a lack of clinical governance and a lack of adequate care and residents were at risk. The Health Service Executive was contacted and it carried out an assessment of the residents and since then it has had staff in the home.
The application to shut the home down is opposed by directors.
The hearing is to continue in two weeks when nursing home bosses will give evidence.
Meanwhile, in the case of the Rostrevor care home in Dublin shut last week, former owner Therese Lipsett has denied that the decades worth of complaints of elder abuse are true.
She blamed the attention being shown to her and her business on her socialite lifestyle and her three pretty daughters.
"Is it just because there are three pretty daughters in the family, who make for a good photograph? Is that why there is such interest in the nursing home?," she said. "There is another nursing home were the patient was let out and walked to the top of Bray Head and perished in the cold. I mean, her daughters weren't shown on television. What about the Kiltipper nursing home that let a woman choke? Where is that story? What's the obsession with the Lipsetts?"

8-23-10 PNC Park
We were lucky to get batting practice in today. There was a steady drizzle from 4 PM until the first few minutes of batting practice, but to the Pirates' credit, they allowed BP to continue.
My first ball was tossed to me by a worker. I spotted the ball laying on a bleacher and ran over to claim it. A worker from one of the concession stands was walking by and picked it up and flipped it to me.
My second ball was a home run caught on the fly in this area off the bat of Delwyn Young.
Ball #3 was tossed up by Pirates' closer and all around good-guy Joel Hanrahan. Here's Joel having some fun with a fan's rain gear:

After we broke the news that the cocktail-and-bridal-dress extraordinaires behind Eel & Ermine were planning on packing up their Presidio Heights haven and high-tailing it to the Mission, we knew it was only a waiting game before more exciting tidbits rolled in. The design duo, Elinor Diamond and Evelyne Aikman, didn't disappoint: They're hitting us with two more fun updates! First, their spankin'-new
glistening beacon of sleek wares website is ready and raring to go, an elegant update from the previous version. We have to say, we're stoked to finally see Eel & Ermine on the web in such a major way.
For their second act, the gals pulled together an inspiring lookbook that has our mouths agape. Seriously, this spring/summer collection hits all the right sartorial notes — we're ready to put that monkey-print, Peter Pan blouse in our closets, like now. "We're always looking for ways to create clothing with clean lines and a slightly vintage feel, but we didn't want the clothes crossing into the kitsch or costume zone," says Diamond. "We played around with proportions and added hints of flare like gold silk-lame, and metallic lizard brocade. Essentially, we design what we wish people would wear. Metallic-gator cigarette pants might not be for everyone…but two girls can hope." Here's to hoping — and ogling! Peep the sweetness after the jump.

Andrea Reimer was first elected in 2002 as a School Board member with the Green Party, she joined Vision Vancouver and was elected to City Council in 2008. Councillor Reimer was appointed in 2008 as the Chair of the City's Planning and Environment Committee and Council lead on the Greenest City Action Plan, overseeing Vancouver's efforts to become the greenest city in the world by 2020. Along with six other Vision councillors and Mayor Gregor Robertson, Andrea Reimer was elected in the 2011 election to council. She is currently Chair of the Standing Committee on Planning, Transportation, and Environment and council liaison for the Greenest City Action Team. She is also a director at Metro Vancouver, and is appointed to the city's Family Court / Youth Justice Committee, Urban Aboriginal Peoples Advisory Committee, and Women's Advisory Committee.
The City's Andy Longhurst sat down with Councillor Reimer in July 2012 to talk at length about a number of issues, including neighbourhood engagement, which has come under fire in recent weeks. We also discuss the controversial Rize condo tower in Mount Pleasant, rental housing, affordability, and questions of how the city should continue to develop.

Report says college rape victims often face hurdles with school officials.
When Marisa was raped during her freshman year at Trinity University by a fellow student at an off-campus house, she hesitated before telling university officials. Dean of Students David Tuttle, then a stranger, was about the last person on earth she wanted to confide in.
But a friend made her do it, and her disclosure led to a conduct hearing in which the student was found responsible and suspended from campus. He withdrew from school, allowing Marisa to reclaim her life at Trinity.
It is the general policy of the San Antonio Express-News to not identify sexual assault victims. In this case, Marisa agreed to be identified by her first name.
"I felt validated by it, and I felt like I received justice," Marisa, now a senior at Trinity, said of the outcome. "I feel like that is such a rare feeling in sexual assault cases."
Statistics attest to that rarity.
According to a report released this month by the Center for Public Integrity, a nonprofit investigative journalism organization based in Washington, D.C., students often encounter a "depressing litany of barriers" to justice, with university officials more interested in keeping things quiet than in helping victims.
The report also cited spotty reporting of sexual assault statistics, rendering public data almost meaningless.
"What we found overall is very troubling," said Bill Buzenberg, the center's director. "It exposed a heavy blanket of secrecy around sexual assault."
In a nine-month investigation, the Center interviewed 48 experts on the college disciplinary process, reviewed 10 years worth of complaints filed with the U.S. Education Department, surveyed 152 crisis services programs and clinics, and interviewed 33 women who reported being sexually assaulted by other students.
In cases in which students did not file a criminal case or local law enforcement declined to prosecute, victims sought justice through university judicial proceedings.
Those included off-the-record negotiations with administrators and closed hearings in which victims were sworn to secrecy, the report found. Rarely did they end in substantial punishment for the accused.
Locally, campus officials agreed with many of the report's findings. But they rebutted the notion that university officials care more about keeping things hush-hush than about the welfare of victims.
"These are really, really, really hard cases," said Gage Paine, vice president for students affairs at the University of Texas at San Antonio. "In my experience over the years, almost always there are two people in the room and nobody else. It is one person's version versus the other person's version. One or the other or both have been drinking, recollections are not clear, and it is really hard to find truth in those situations. I have yet to see a case where everybody walked out satisfied."
Spotty statistics
To look at the numbers, it would appear that rapes almost never happen at local colleges.
Five San Antonio universities with a combined enrollment of more than 45,000 reported just 18 sexual assaults in the past three years, according to data posted under the Clery Act, a law requiring universities to report crime statistics on campus.
But experts say underreporting and differing interpretations of the law result in numbers that can't be trusted.
UTSA reported four sexual assaults in the past three years. But Elizabeth StanczakÖ, UTSA's director of counseling and health services, said she handles between two and six cases per month.
Technically, Stanczak is exempt from reporting because she is a licensed counselor. But she said she forwards every case to UTSA police, sharing what information she legally can, and Chief Dan Pena says his agency reports qualifying cases.
But the Clery Act covers only assaults that occur in campus housing or in public places on or near campus. At UTSA, the bulk of students live in private apartment complexes surrounding the university. About 3,700 of the university's 29,000 students live on campus.
Texas State University in San Marcos reported nine sexual assaults in 2008, the highest of the six universities. University police said seven of the cases were linked to one man caught fondling random women and pulling down their pants.
The real picture of campus safety is not in Clery numbers, and parents know it, said Kathy Sisoian, vice president for student development at St. Mary's University.
"As a parent of college-aged children, I get my own sense of the environment by visiting," Sisoian said. "I have never heard anyone talk about Clery who doesn't work in higher education."
Parents may be more interested in hearing how university officials react to reports of sexual assault, Sisoian said, and whether or not the university educates students about date rape and other forms of sexual assault.
Officials at most local universities say they do address prevention, typically during freshman orientation, using guest speakers or skits.
When a student reports a sexual assault, officials say they react with compassion.
The first step is directing students to police to file a report, then to the hospital for a rape kit, an exam that preserves physical evidence. The student is offered a victim's advocate, which could be a university staff member, a parent or a trained professional from the Rape Crisis Center. At some point, the university lays out options for seeking justice. Some students choose to press criminal charges, others request a university hearing. Some do neither.
Empowering the victims to make their own decisions is paramount, officials and counselors said.
At times, "we have had to fight the perception that (university officials) want to sweep things under the rug and we don't support victims," Trinity's Tuttle said. "But we very much take a stand that we don't push a complaint forward unless the (victim) wants to push it forward."
Closed doors
Despite good intentions, many victims walk away from the university judicial process feeling betrayed, according to the Center report. It cited examples of what some deem bad university practices: gag orders, mediations and secret hearings.
When Mallory Shear-Heyman was raped in a campus dorm at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania, she claims university officials pushed her toward mediation, a confidential negotiation between victim and attacker, facilitated by university officials.
With no outside advocate to help weigh the options, Shear-Heyman agreed.
The student ended up apologizing, but because Shear-Heyman had signed a confidentiality waiver, she could not use the confession to pursue a criminal case.
"Generally speaking, mediation was a horrible experience, one in which I was misled and given different answers," said Shear-Heyman. "It left me five years later unable to pursue any sort of justice."
Experts call mediation in rape cases a bad idea because it carries no threat of punishment. And the Education Department prohibits schools from issuing gag orders.
Locally, university officials say they do not issue gag orders. Trinity has done mediations in the past, but Tuttle said he is "not a fan."
Still, secrecy prevails because disciplinary hearings are generally closed to the public and documents requested under open records laws would either be withheld or heavily redacted. Private schools are not subject to open records laws.
According to victim advocates, the secrecy makes it too easy for the university to act in its own interests.
"Who is the university advocating for, the victim or the perpetrator? They have them both on the same campus," said Lynn Blanco, president of the Rape Crisis Center. "If you have closed doors, you don't have that check and balance system."
Local officials say federal privacy laws bar them from holding public student conduct hearings, but at some schools parties can request an open hearing or invite supporters and witnesses.
And yes, officials must often strike a neutral pose, affording the accused the benefit of the doubt.
That's why it's crucial to involve an advocate for the victim, Blanco said, someone whose role is to believe the victim and help them weigh options.
But even that doesn't guarantee a good outcome, Tuttle said.
"For the victims, they just want their dignity back and want the other person to know what they did was wrong. The university system is set up for that to happen," Tuttle said. "But if the (accused) is not found responsible, it can be a disaster."
A slap on the wrist
In Marisa's case, she said the rape occurred in 2007 at an off-campus party, where she was keeping an eye on an intoxicated friend. She was alone at some point, and a soccer player and fraternity member she knew pushed her into a small room.
The next day, Marisa went to the hospital for a rape kit and was questioned by two police officers. The Bexar County district attorney's office asked her to prosecute.
"I guess I am really naive or really optimistic about people, but I wanted to give him the chance to be a better person ..... and not have to go his whole life and have to register as a sex offender," Marisa said.
But she did pursue a university hearing. Until then, the harshest punishment meted out in recent memory was a one-semester suspension. She made it clear that wasn't good enough.
"I feel like a one (semester) suspension for rape is a slap on the wrist, like 'Don't get caught next time,'." Marisa said. "I have wanted to go to Trinity since I was in junior high. The place I had been looking forward to my whole life ..... came crashing down at the end of my first year."
At Trinity, students are allowed to invite one supporter, typically a parent or attorney, to the hearing. A panel of two professors and one student render a verdict.
In Marisa's case, they found the student responsible and issued a two-year suspension.
Rather than risk an appeal, Tuttle allowed him to withdraw from Trinity with the caveat that Tuttle would have to reveal the student's disciplinary record if asked. No one ever asked.
"That's kind of disappointing," Marisa said. But Overall, pursuing the hearing was worth the risk, Marisa said. Marisa said of the process and outcome: "I was very proud that I had set the bar higher for girls in the future."

Kick Ass Oregon History and Stumptown Stories present The Death of The Rialto on Tuesday, 15 November 2016 at Jack London bar (basement of The Rialto, SW 4th and Alder).
This will be the last Stumptown Stories at the Jack London! The Rialto upstairs and the Jack London are closing – on Christmas Day this year. The Jack London has hosted Stumptown Stories since June 2011, so it's appropriate that the final Stumptown Stories at the underground institution serves as a requiem . . .
Doug Kenck-Crispin will discuss the early history of the Rialto Billiard Parlors, and share some of the highlights from the OLCC records regarding the current establishment. JB Fisher will talk about JD "Bob" Archer, Portland pool champion and owner of the Rialto and Elite Billiard Parlors in the 1940s and 50s. Recently discovered Oregon State Police files shed provocative new light on how vice operations were really being run in mid-century Portland. Joe Streckert will illuminate Jim Elkins, 1950's Portland's racketeer king, who ran gambling and (gasp!) pinball throughout the city. That all came crashing down when the Seattle Teamsters and the feds came to town, and Elkins empire of numbers was no more. As you can see, plenty of new shit has come to light about one of your favorite Portland institutions! Kick Ass Oregon History's Ghost Host, Andy Lindberg, will be the Master of Ceremonies, and there will be FREE NACHOS [while supplies last], as well as some books from the namesake of the establishment.
Stumptown Stories, batshit crazy stories from the murkiest, weirdest, and nuttiest corners of Portland history, will be announcing a new venue soon!
Admission is free. Doors open at 7:00 PM, 21 and over only.

Shhh! It's a Secret God Told Me to Tell You!
"The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law. (Dt. 29:29)
As the Preacher has already told us, "There is nothing new under the sunâ€Â. (Ecc. 1:9) So why should we be surprised that yet another person has been the exclusive recipient of yet another "secret†from God and, for the first time in the history of the world, is making it known to us? For some reason, instead of writing it down in one of the original languages of the Bible and making it freely available to all like the original Prophets of old, this time around God chose to have it printed in English and sold for $16.99 ($9.00 on the Kindle). For a fee, the "prophet†will come and speak about it. False teaching disguised as "revelation†like Jonathan Cahn's The Harbinger have been around since handwriting was invented and such will, no doubt, persist until the Lord returns. Please do not buy it or even bother reading a friend's copy; why should you take away time from your personal meditation in Scripture, the only true source of revelation? But such things keep coming up, so I keep going back to the above verse.
- Fact 1: God has not revealed everything to us, nor will He.
- Fact 2: He has already revealed everything we need to know in His Word. There is no room for new books in The Book.
- Fact 3: If we cannot be obedient to what has already been revealed, there is no "new†or further revelation coming.
In addition to outright false teachers and false prophets who teach error, there are also those who, "…speak a vision of their own imagination, not from the mouth of the Lordâ€Â. (Jer. 23:16b) In either case, it is to be rejected just the same.

Why Is It So Difficult To Opt-Out Of Copyright?
from the no-easy-way-to-get-into-the-public-domain deptEvery so often, when someone new shows up on Techdirt, reading a post about our complaints about overly aggressive copyright holders, they'll make a comment along the lines of "well, you wouldn't be saying that if someone took Techdirt's content, copied it and started making money from ads! I'm going to do just that, and I bet you'll be just as angry!" And, every time someone posts this, we end up linking back to the fact that a bunch of folks already do this, and we're perfectly fine with it. Here's the explanation I gave for why it's fine with us a while back:
We have no problem with people taking our content and reposting it. It's funny how many people come here, like yourself, and assume you've found some "gotcha." You haven't. There already are about 10 sites that copy Techdirt, post for post. Some of them give us credit. Some of them don't. We don't go after any of them.I should note, by the way, that by ignoring these copycat sites, most go away. There's one (relatively nicely designed one) that's managed to stick around for a while, but most fade away pretty quickly. Still, we're perfectly fine with people taking and repurposing our content. We hope they give us attribution, but we don't worry too much if they don't (actually, it would be even cooler if sites added more value to our content). There's really no reason to spend much time thinking about it. Yet, we still get people emailing us all the time to ask for "permission" to reuse our content -- and of course, we always "grant" the permission, even though they don't need it at all.
Here's why:
1. None of those sites get any traffic. By themselves, they offer nothing special.
2. If anything, it doesn't take people long to read those sites and figure out that the content is really from Techdirt. Then they just come here to the original source. So, it tends to help drive more traffic to us. That's cool.
3. As soon as the people realize the other sites are simply copying us, it makes those sites look really, really bad. If you want to risk your reputation like that, go ahead, but it's a big risk.
4. A big part of the value of Techdirt is the community here. You can't just replicate that.
5. Another big part of the value of Techdirt is that we, the writers, engage in the comments. You absolutely cannot fake that on your own site.
So, really, what's the purpose of copying our content in the manner you describe, other than maybe driving a little traffic our way?
So, if you really want to, I'd suggest it's pretty dumb, but go ahead.
Sometimes people ask us why we don't put Techdirt under a Creative Commons license. The answer is that while CC-licenses are certainly a good overall concept and I think it's great when people use a CC license, they still rely on copyright to function, and we believe that content creators should experiment with getting by entirely without copyright to see what happens -- and we try to live up to what we promote. Of course, it's actually a lot harder to do that then you might think. As Stephen Kinsella recently discovered putting your content into the public domain is incredibly difficult. In some cases, it's not even possible. Thanks to (relatively recent) copyright law that grants a copyright the instant content is put into a fixed medium. And, while you can put a "public domain declaration" on content, it won't apply in many countries. Effectively it's nearly impossible to legally make your content public domain. So, as for us, we just leave things alone, and figure that most people will figure out sooner or later that they're free to help promote our content by reusing it however they want.

State Fire Marshal Peter Ostroskey issued safety tips to prevent burns for Burn Awareness Week, Feb. 4-10.
"While we traditionally associate burns with fires, the leading burn problem in Massachusetts is hot liquid scalds to children under 5," Ostroskey said. "Remember that hot liquids burn like fire."
According to the Massachusetts Burn Injury Reporting System, children under 5 account for more than a quarter of all burn injuries. Scalds from hot beverages like coffee and tea, hot water in the tub and spilled cooking liquids caused 84 percent of the burns to children in 2017.
Ostroskey offered several tips to prevent burns, including placing babies and toddlers safely in a high chair or playpen while parents drink hot coffee or tea. The fire marshal advised parents to put drinks and soups toward the center of the table away from curious fingers and to consider replacing tablecloths with placemats to prevent children from pulling things on the table onto themselves.
Keeping children 3 feet away from the stove and barbecue grills can also prevent burns, said Ostroskey.
Older adults also frequently are scalded by hot liquids and steam. Ostroskey advised adults to treat a burn with cool water. Do not use grease, butter, ointments, lotions or fats, he advised, because they can make the burns worse.

Stories of Divine Healing: Supernatural Testimonies That Ignite Faith for the Miraculous
by Randy Clark
Learn More | Meet Randy Clark
Brain Tumor; Breast Cancer; Abdominal Cancer
We had a ministry in my church to go to the poor to pray and minister to the sick. I expect the greatest miracles among the lost and poor because they are so needy.
I was with a team one day, praying for people, when I was told about a woman there who was dying of cancer. Her name was Terry. She was a beautiful blonde-haired lady about twenty-five years old. She had two daughters that were five and seven from a previous marriage. She had been living with a man who had recently stolen her car, emptied her bank account, taken all her cash, and run off. She felt rejected by her divorce, and now she felt rejected by the man she had been living with out of wedlock. On top of all that, she was dying of an inoperable brain tumor. This tumor had metastasized into the tissue in her breast and spread down to the abdominal track. The doctors said there was nothing more they could do, that the tumor was inoperable. They told her to go home and make her will out because she was going to die.
When I learned of all this, I asked Terry if I could pray for her, and she said, "Yes." When I started to put my hands on her head, she drew back and said, "What are you doing?"
"You said I could pray for you. That is what I 'm doing," I replied.
"Here? Now?" she said.
"Yes," I replied.
"I don 't think so" was her response. She thought I was going to go home and pray for her. She didn 't understand that I intended to pray for her right then and there, but she finally let me pray. As I prayed, she began to feel heat on her head, and then electricity going through her head. I felt as though her hear. I felt as though God said to me, "This one is on Me."
Every two weeks, we took food to Terry and prayed for her. We did this about six times over a twelve-week period. Then one day she called me and told me not to come back, that she didn 't need us to bring food anymore. I found out later that another man had moved in.
Several years went by, and then I saw her one day at the local food bank. "Terry, you 're alive!" I shouted across the room. As we talked, she told me what had happened to her since I had last seen her. About six or eight weeks after our last visit, she went to the doctor. Both an MRI and a full-body scan revealed no cancer. "I had always wondered if it had anything to do with you praying for me," she said.
"Terry, Jesus healed you," I replied.
I was able to get Terry to come to our church, where she gave her testimony of what God had done for her.
- Told by Randy Clark in a sermon titled
"The Thrill of Victory"
Breast Cancer; Deliverance
I was at a church in Sao Paulo, Brazil, with a Global Awakening Youth Power Invasion team. At one point I saw a woman in the back manifesting strongly. I went back to her and ministered deliverance and then found out that she had a tumor in each breast. Both were cancerous. Many women in her family had the same thing. I knew the Lord was about to make a miracle happen. I began to pray, and after about twenty minutes I asked her if the tumors were gone. Through the translator she told me she would be right back, that she was going to the bathroom to check. We anxiously waited for her to come out, and when she did, she was jumping and screaming, crying, and just going crazy. She ran over to us, grabbed me, and squeezed me tight. Both the tumors were completely gone! There was no sign of them anywhere! For the rest of the night she cried and smiled.

trip to Sao Paulo, Brazil
Breast Cancer
I was on a Global Awakening trip to Brazil. One day I prayed for a young woman who had a tumor in her right breast. She told me it was the size of a walnut. I began praying for her, and as the power of God hit her, she fell to the flood. I continue to pray while she was on the ground. When she sat up, she checked the spot on her breast, and the tumor was gone! Her eyes got so big! She then stuck her hand down her shirt to double check and cried, "It is gone!" The look on her face was precious. I will never forget it. I told her to raise her hands to Heaven and thank Gof for her healing. "I love Jesus," she cried. "Jesus loves you," I replied.
This was my first mission trip. I came in desperation, seeking God and to be used by God. I was so concerned that God wouldn 't use me, but He sure did! This healing happened on the second day of the trip. Praise God!

Global Awakening mission trip to Brazil
Breast Cancer; Back Pain
Today during the morning meeting I had the opportunity to pray for a girl who had a lump on her breast that reached around to her back. When I first started praying, I felt nothing, she felt nothing, and there were no manifestations. As we continued to pray, she said she felt her shoulder and arm go numb. I blessed what God was doing in Jesus 's name, and then she checked and the lump was gone! The look on ehr face and in her eyes was utter astonishment. She was overwhelmed that she was healed. It was awesome to see her realize that God had healed her. Then I prayed for an impartation of the Holy Spirit, and God blasted her! How fun! Glory to God! I also prayed for a hurt knee and God completely healed it. The coolest part is that I was not feeling super holy or anointed. It was just me asking God to heal, and He did. Praise God! He is faithful.

Global Awakening mission trip to Manaus, Brazil
Breast Cancer; Back Pain; Salvation
Right after we all received impartation from Randy Clark, Gary Oates, and the rest, I went to the healing tent and I saw so many miracles! An elderly lady came for prayer. She had a cancerous tumor in her breast and pain in her back. We asked if she was a Christian, and she said she was not and she didn 't want to be one unless God could heal her. We thought it was the perfect opportunity for God to be glorified so we started praying. We called down the fire of Heaven to consume her and heal her. We commanded the tumor to disappear and the pain in her back to leave. The Holy Spirit came heavily upon her and she fell down under the power of the Spirit. She got up a few minutes later and we asked her to check and see if the tumor was gone and to move around and see if her back pain was completely gone. She checked and her back pain was totally gone and the lump in her breast had completely disappeared! We praised God and asked if she wanted to receive Christ as her Savior. She said "Yes!" with great joy and excitement. We led her in the salvation prayer and asked God to bless her.

We were with Randy Clark at the local church in Belém, Brazil, on the last night of our mission trip. God 's presence was strong in the meeting. Many people were healed. A woman came seeking prayer for a tumor and problems in her uterus. She had a tumor the size of an egg underneath her left breast. As we prayed, I felt the tumor grow smaller and softer. She didn 't seem to think there was much change (just a little) so we prayed over her abdomen. She suddenly began to vibrate, and a spontaneous prayer language came out of her mouth. I asked the interpreter what was happening and she told us that the woman was feeling electricity shooting into her body. We checked for the tumor and it was gone! She was excited and started speaking very fast to the interpreter, who told us that the woman actually felt her uterus and ovaries "pulled up" into place in her body!!! Praise God.

Global Awakening mission trip to Belém, Brazil
This is my favorite testimony from our mission trip to Ukraine. We had been praying for the dancers, and my translator was just giving them a final blessing when I noticed a woman wanting prayer. I called my translator for help. Just then an usher came over with a young teenage boy; he had just been saved that night and they wanted me to pray for him. I asked the boy to wait just a few minutes, as I needed to pray fo this other woman firs. He stood by while the woman told us that she wanted prayer for advanced cancer. As I got ready to pray, God told me to have the boy pray for her. I knew he had the Holy Spirit because he had been saved earlier in the evening. Through the translator I asked the boy if he heard what the woman needed, and he said, "Yes." I told him that he could help her. The woman interrupted and told the translator that the boy was only saved that night, indicating that she wanted us to pray for her, not the boy. I understood that because she had advanced cancer, she wanted the best prayer she could get, so I tried to reassure her that the boy carried the same authority to pray for her healing as we did. Then I had the boy place his hand on her and just ask God to help her. He seemed to go right at it, saying a simple prayer, and God began to touch her immediately! When the boy finished praying, I continued to pray and bless what God was doing, and then I asked my anointed translator to pray for the boy. God continued to touch the woman with powerful waves that shook her for quite some time. I prayed in Russian, "More, Lord—go deeper, Lord—more anointing for healing—be healed in the name of Jesus." When the shaking subsided, I brought the translator back and asked how the woman was doing. She said that all her pain was now gone. God had done something very powerful. She was going to check with her doctors, but she felt that she was healed. She was very happy, thanking me as we praised God together. Then I reminded her that it was the boy who had prayed for her first. She turned to him with tears and grabbed his hand, thanking him and blessing his life. Now that 's the way to start a life with Jesus. Thank You, Father; You are so good!

This story has been updated to clarify that Tesla Inc.'s quarterly report is not expected Monday. The company is likely to set the release date this week.
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Tesla Motors Inc. TSLA, +1.99% shares fell 3.6% in premarket trade on Monday. The maker of electric cars is expected to report a fourth-quarter loss of 59 cents a share on revenue of $298.6 million, according to a consensus survey by FactSet. A key metric will be the number of battery-powered Model S cars, the first Tesla designed from the ground up, produced per week. The company says it is likely to announce the date of its quarterly release this week, but the report won't come Monday. The New York Times on Friday posted a negative review of the Model S's performance on the East coast, saying cold temperatures affected the car's mileage. Tesla has posted a quarterly loss ever since its 2010 IPO.

I was online and also came across an old episode of Donahue which was covering the subject of steroids and sexual harassment in the WWF in 92. I was too young to know any of this was going on back then. It was certainly surprising seeing Vince McMahon appearing on Donahue to defend himself and his company. Vince's expressions were pretty funny and he didn't lose his temper which surprised me. Bruno Sammartino, Dave Meltzer, Superstar Billy Graham, Barry Orton and quite a few others. Most of these people came off very well except for Billy Graham he came off a bit incoherent.
One guy, I think his name was Murray Hodgson claimed he was hired to be an announcer and signed to a two year contract but was fired into his second month after refusing homosexual advances by Patterson. Vince said he was fired because he sucked as an announcer and couldn't make the transition from radio to TV. Hodgson found it hard to believe Vince didn't know any of this type of sexual harassment was going on when Patterson was like his right hand man.
Barry Orton claimed he was fondled between two higher ups and Terry Garvin pleaded to perform oral sex on him.
This guy who had a radio show that covered wrestling claimed that the midget wrestlers were all let go and not used anymore because one of them stood up to Patterson's sexual advances. All kinds of crazy stuff.
So Pat Patterson was mostly behind this? What happened in the trial? How did Vince beat all this? How was Patterson hired again if caused WWF so much legal problems?
It all comes as a shock to me as I had never really heard these things before.
Bruno also mentioned that Vince Sr. blacklisted him in the business for a while. Why did this happen? Wasn't Bruno the first WWWF champion, so it surprises me that Vince Sr. would've blacklisted him.

First Ever Museum Exhibition Showcases Giorgio di Sant' Angelo's Innovation and Influence
Sant Angelo was an artist with the exceptional ability to see beyond the established fashion norms, creating designs that were revolutionary in every sense from the fabric, to the cut, to his interpretation of cultural influences.
Phoenix Art Museum
s Fashion Design Department presents Giorgio di Sant Angelo, the first ever retrospective to highlight the extraordinary ingenuity of American designer Giorgio di Sant Angelo. The winner of two Coty Awards and two Council of Fashion Designers of America honors, Sant Angelos notable three-decade career generated a wide array of collections, including Gypsy (1969) and Natives of the Americas (1970), all of which were innovative for their pioneering use of stretch fabrics and powerful expression of the era. Featuring more than 40 ensembles and accessories, the exhibition spans the late 1960s through the early 1990s and provides a stunning overview of Sant Angelos influence and legacy. Giorgio di Sant Angelo runs through February 12, 2012.
Sant Angelo was an artist with the exceptional ability to see beyond the established fashion norms, creating designs that were revolutionary in every sense from the fabric, to the cut, to his interpretation of cultural influences. His dynamic creativity defined him as a designer and his ingenious use of stretch fabrics went beyond high fashion to influence the look of mainstream clothing, commented exhibition curator, Dennita Sewell. This exhibition brings to new light the magnitude of Sant Angelos influence and his continued impact on fashion designers and stylists working today.
Giorgio di Sant Angelo is drawn from Phoenix Art Museums extensive fashion design archive, the Texas Fashion Collection, UCLA archives and private collections. In addition, the exhibition features never-released, original footage of runway shows and interviews, photographs and sketch books.
Giorgio di Sant Angelo (1933-1989) rose to prominence during the late 1960s with his exuberant and colorful accessories and collections. With an eye for fantasy, Sant Angelo created expressive collections that merged his own Latin upbringing with gypsy, Aztec, American Indian and Asian influences among others. Eclectic mixes of vibrant fabrics with rich ornamentation were combined in free-body designs to reflect his ideas of modern sensuality. By reversing the role of stretch fabrics from innerwear to outerwear, he revealed the shape of the natural body as a modern fashion fundamental. Silhouette as weve known it, as something imposed by fashion is finished. The only silhouette for 1971 is the body, he proclaimed.
Throughout the 1970s, Sant Angelos designs became more streamlined to reflect the changing times and the active lifestyle of the modern woman. Easy to pack, easy to fit, easy to wear his clothes were both contemporary and practical. Always a step ahead of the fashion industry, Sant Angelos very feminine collections of the 1980s had a softedge, mixing gossamer weight stretch fabrics with lace and chiffon in layered body-aware designs that transformed with the movement and individuality of the wearer. The body suit was the foundation upon which he built layers such as the sarong skirt in a vibrant rainbow of colors.
Born Count Jorge Alberto Imperatrice di Sant Angelo e Ratti di Desio in Florence , Italy , he was raised in Argentina and Brazil and trained as an architect and industrial designer in Italy . He studied art, ceramics and sculpture in Spain and France , under Pablo Picasso among others. In 1962, he was awarded an animation fellowship at Walt Disney Studios in California but soon relocated to New York City and began freelancing in a wide range of design areas including industrial, textile, interiors and jewelry. His experimental Lucite jewelry and accessories caught the attention of Vogue editor Diana Vreeland who commissioned him to style and create works for fashion editorials. In 1967, Sant Angelo collaborated with photographer Richard Avedon to create the now iconic image of Twiggy with a flower drawn on her eye that ran on the cover of the July issue of Vogue. His fashion career came to the fore with the July 1968 issue of Vogue which featured an eight page editorial of model Veruschka, his lifelong muse, photographed by Franco Rubartelli in the Arizona desert.
Sant Angelo clothed her by wrapping yards of colorful fabrics, fur and ropes in looks that defined the color and texture of the nomadic hippy look in high fashion. Reacting against the boxy shapes of established fashion, Sant Angelos clothes presented a new fluidity and flattering sensuality in fashion. His private clients included celebrities such as Lena Horne, Mick Jagger and Diana Ross who were attracted to Sant Angelos exaggerated, glamorous and highly original designs and his youthful passion for life.
Sant Angelo was known to say, I am not a fashion designer but an artist who works in fashionan engineer of color and form. His wide reach across design areas reflected his myriad of talents and viewpoint of fashion as a total lifestyle. He was among the first designers to encompass elements in home furnishings and environmental fragrances which are now industry standards.
Phoenix Art Museum has a long tradition of celebrating designers who have made significant contributions to the history of fashion, commented Sewell. It is a privilege for the Museum to be the first to showcase Sant Angelos substantial career and I believe also fitting, particularly because this region deeply captivated the designer and the photo shoot in the Arizona desert is synonymous with his revolutionary design aesthetic.

Rodrigo Abad Diaz, a 22-year-old man, was recently shot and killed after he pulled into the wrong driveway in Lilburn, Ga., Diaz's friends allege.
Diaz's friends, who were passengers in the car, say they were trying to pick up another friend to go ice skating but GPS brought them to the wrong house, The Huffington Post's Cavan Sieczkowski reports.
As they were waiting in the driveway, the friends say, the homeowner came out with a gun and "just started shooting."
The friends say that after 69-year-old Phillip Sailors, the homeowner, fired the first shot, Diaz tried to turn the car around. But that's when Sailors allegedly fired the second shot, which ended up killing Diaz.
Sailors' attorney, Michael Puglise, says that since it was late at night, Sailors thought Diaz and his friends were going to invade his home, NBC Latino's Adrian Carrasquillo reports.
Police arrested Sailors and charged him for murder, but according to Puglise, Sailors was released on a $10,000 bond yesterday.
Puglise told NBC Latino that Sailors is a Vietnam veteran, with no prior criminal history.
"You have to understand this is a 69-year-old man who is a military veteran who has been honorably discharged," Puglise told NBC Latino. "He dedicated his life to community service, specifically the Christian Lay Ministry in Latin America."

Peter Pan Cocktail.
1/4 Peach Bitters. (1/2 oz Fee's Peach Bitters)
1/4 Orange Juice. (1/2 oz Orange Juice)
1/4 French Vermouth. (1/2 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth)
1/4 Dry Gin. (1/2 oz Plymouth Gin)
Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.
I had some sort of idle hope that this would be at least interesting.
I suppose, after a fashion, it is.
The nice thing about it is the Peter Pan is, at least, a fairly dry cocktail. However, it really does taste, more or less, awful. That much peach bitters is just wrong.
Not only that, but I felt kind of bad after drinking it. Burping peach flavored burps, and feeling like it gave me an instant head ache. Maybe all that glycerine and propylene glycol doesn't agree with me.
Should you order this cocktail at the next Savoy Night at Alembic Bar, July 26th?
Signs point to a definite, "No!"
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

I've seen some recent praise for the discipline of the Romney campaign, which has generally proven effective at hewing to its core message and preventing internal strife from leaking to the media. David Sanger's fascinating Sunday New York Times story on Romney's foreign policy vision is a dramatic exception.
I was grabbed right away by Sanger's lead, which spotlighted Romney's remarkably under-discussed assertion that U.S. policy should be to defeat the Taliban, not negotiate with it. As I wrote recently, that position breaks dramatically from a bipartisan consensus and also implies a much longer and more violent American commitment to that conflict than the public seems willing to tolerate. No wonder that Romney's statement, made in a January debate, caused "a faction of his foreign policy advisers to shake their heads in wonderment," as Sanger puts it.
Substantively, it'll be mighty interesting to see how Romney handles this question when it comes up next: Will he backpedal or double down on his politically sulphuric view. But almost as interesting is the broader implication of Sanger's piece, which is that Romney is surrounded by foreign policy experts frustrated enough with him to feed the Times a negative story, to the point of implying that Romney doesn't thoroughly understand or possibly even even care much about foreign affairs. ("Romney doesn't want to really engage these issues until he is in office," one adviser confides to Sanger.) From my read of Sanger's piece, Romney advisers seem to have qualms about his rhetoric on countries ranging from Iran to China to Russia. (Sanger notes pointedly–and, I assume, based on a sour whisper from the advisory circle–that Romney wrote a 2010 op-ed piece opposing Obama's new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with Russia "without much input from his staff.")
So much for internal discipline. One chatty adviser confesses to Sanger that he would be "cashiered" from the campaign for speaking so freely, and understandably so. Fehrnstrom must be on the warpath. To be fair, campaigns can have dozens, even hundreds of "advisers," and it's not clear from Sanger's story whether the dissidents are inner-sanctum types or outer-orbit people who submit a memo to some regional working group every now and then. Regardless, this kind of chatter is embarrassing for the campaign. It's also chum in the water for the national media, which has been reminded of Romney's inexperience in world affairs–something he's been relatively unchallenged on thus far–and which is sure to start drilling deeper on that subject soon. Asking Romney to explain his plan to "defeat" the Taliban would be a fine place to start.

Party's Over
Remember Rocco? He's an Italian mobster, and you dealt with him earlier in the game. In fact, he straight-up walked into Tony's apartment early in the game and stole some money from him, so you should remember him rather vividly. At some point, Rocco will give Luis a call on his cell phone and tell him to meet him at the public restrooms at Middle Park. At this point, the location will show up on your GPS, so ride over to Middle Park, and then run over to the public bathrooms in question to catalyze a cutscene. Rocco has a stern warning for Luis. It seems as if multiple parties, the Russians paramount in that group, are about to come down hard on Luis and Tony. In order to appease them, Rocco suggests that Luis kill Tony, and then they can run the clubs together. Luis ultimately takes this information and leaves Middle Park.
After the conversation commences with Rocco and another goon at the bathrooms in Middle Park, you'll be ordered to head over to the Maisonette 9 club, which as you well-know by now, is located off of Galveston Avenue on the western edge of Algonquin. When you arrive, Luis will briefly speak to the bouncer and then head downstairs, where he'll find Tony in the company of the same two mobsters he just met up with. After some more back-and-forth, Rocco throws Luis a gun and tells him to shoot Tony. After seemingly considering it, Luis turns the gun on Rocco's friend and shoots him in the head. However, when he goes to shoot Rocco, Tony reminds Luis that he's a made man, and Rocco scurries off just as the Russians arrive at the club to collect on their debt.
Now the fun truly begins. You'll have to deal with two primary waves of enemies, one inside, and then one outside. First, concentrate on the task at hand -- protecting Tony from the invading waves of Russian hitmen coming through the front door and into the club. You start this mission in a rather advantageous position, looking below onto the club from the relative protection of an upper tier. Your best bet here is to use your shotgun, since it can kill all of these enemies in a single hit. If you're really good, you can get these enemies as they come down the hallway and forward towards your position, but on the floor below. Any thugs that make it past your initial barrage will climb the stairs adjacent to you and begin shooting at you from behind. If and when this happens, quickly turn around and do them in before concentrating one more on the hordes of enemies coming at you from below.
Once you've cleared the inside of literally dozens of enemies, you'll get a view from one of Maisonette 9's security cameras. It appears more of Bulgarin's men have shown up outside. So, head on outside yourself, again using your shotgun to lay waste to the enemies that show up in vehicle after vehicle. Remember -- your shotgun is powerful enough to set these cars ablaze with only a couple of well-placed shots, so if you want to try and kill multiple enemies at once, attempt to make the cars the thugs arrive in explode. Also, if you need to take a breather or are getting torn up by enemy bullets, quickly duck back inside before rearing your head out once more. With the outside wave of enemies killed, you'll then witness a brief cutscene between Luis and Tony before the mission ends.
