A Santa Clara County jury that found three schoolgirls and their parents liable for defaming a Catholic school teacher they branded a ''perv'' is about to decide how much one of the students should pay in punitive damages.
The jury found on Friday that the defendants damaged John Fischler's reputation by spreading false statements that he inappropriate touched the children and peeked into a girls' bathroom. The former P.E. teacher was cleared by police of sexual misconduct.
The San Jose Mercury News reports the 49-year-old teacher was awarded at least $362,000 in compensatory damages.
The jury also found that one of the girls, now 14 years old, acted with malice and is liable for punitive damages. The second phase of the trial to determine how much she'll have to pay is set to begin Monday.
After he was accused of being a "pervert," he never felt his reputation was restored and he lost his job.
Experts told the Mercury News at the time the lawsuit was filed that suit may have other impacts.
Experts said that Fischler's lawsuit may have a chilling effect on victims of actual abuse: "80 to 90 percent of victims are too cowed to come forward," said Paul A. Mones, an attorney and children's rights advocate.

Let the Scott M. Gimple era of The Walking Dead begin. With all the creative and behind-the-scenes changes the show has undergone over the last few years, wondering what will be different under a new showrunner has become one of the primary talking points for a show that is only now entering season 4. And that's not necessarily a bad thing; the show has run into its fair share of storytelling issues, and bringing in a new showrunner gives the audience that same feeling devoted fans of a beloved, but beleaguered, sports team get when a new coach is announced.
Sometimes a little fresh blood is all that matters, and as we see in the early parts of the season 4 premiere, '30 Days Without an Accident,' fresh blood isn't only welcome and promising from a behind-the-scenes perspective; it can give the onscreen story a sense of vibrancy as well. There are so many new faces being introduced and the setting of the prison just carries with it such a different vibe that watching Rick (Andrew Lincoln) quietly tend a garden while listening to an old country song is the least conspicuous tonal shift the premiere brings to the table. But along with slowly demonstrating Rick's aversion to violence, Gimple and his crew also go to great lengths to make all the new faces and shifting circumstances feel pleasantly familiar. This is not a radical re-imagining of something that had stumbled at times creatively; it's simply a necessary progression.
Instead of ghost Lori wandering around, there is a sense that last season's superlative episode 'Clear' is the real lingering presence on the show. Season 3 ended with a long shot featuring a busload of Woodburians walking solemnly into a prison. Many a discussion was had about the subtext of that image, in relation to exiting showrunner Glen Mazzara and what his feelings about the series and his situation with the network might have been. Whatever the case may be, Gimple's first episode as new showrunner also seems interested in talking about the show, with more than one allusion being made about the past - and particularly, how the path Rick was headed down was a little wide of the mark. Interpretations aside, Gimple's effort here is clearly intended to reiterate some of the ideas presented in 'Clear,' but tweak them just enough in the delivery that Rick finds himself looking for that speck of light at the end of the tunnel, rather than the endless expanse of inky darkness threatening to swallow him whole.
That idea is felt in the scenes around the prison, too. This time, rather than a sense of despair in the survivors, the desperation is felt most strongly in the throngs of walkers crowding the fenced perimeter of the prison. For those inside, it's a combination of pragmatism and cautious optimism. Beth's (Emily Kinney) new squeeze Zach (Kyle Gallner) tellingly gets a kiss, but not a goodbye when he heads out on an ill-fated supply run with Daryl (Norman Reedus), Tyreese (Chad L. Coleman) and fellow newcomer Bob Stookey (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.). When Daryl returns with news of her beau's demise, Beth observes the occasion by methodically setting the 'days without accident' board back to zero - a not-so-subtle shift in tone for the series as a whole. Zach was one of the first new characters in a long time who managed to instantly ingratiate himself, and feel like he could be a welcome addition to the cast. Instead, his death is a reminder that whatever changes have been made, The Walking Dead reserves the right to eliminate anyone at any time, regardless of how the audience might feel about that individual. Zach wasn't around long enough to wind up on the audience's hit list, but his immediate removal suggests the series isn't interested in only getting rid of the characters nobody seems to like.
However, Beth's reaction is also a sign of how repetitious story points and endless nihilism can just wear a person down – whether they're in the story or just watching it. At a certain point, the show is going to have to offer up some sort of new wrinkle to make the stakes of the narrative engaging beyond the notion that anyone is potentially on the proverbial chopping block. Watching zombie heads explode is popular enough that it's practically become a mid-October Sunday night pastime, but without some sense of hope in all that bleakness, the law of diminishing returns goes into effect on even the wildest of kills. The collapsing roof of the big box store made for a terrific set piece, as it provided some intense action - and the sight of zombies raining down from the ceiling was a nice bit of nightmare fuel. While it adequately demonstrated the continuing hostility of the show's setting, it was, ultimately, another example of how hopeless the overall situation actually is.
...Which is why Rick's encounter in the woods works out to have some importance beyond underlining the character's fluctuating mental health by demonstrating where it is he could end up (a point that had already been expressed far more poignantly in 'Clear'). At any rate, when the despondent woman attacks Rick, she mentions how her zombified companion Eddie has begun to slow down on account of not having anything living or "fresh" to eat. While this detail may seem innocuous, it ties into the aforementioned notion of the living impaired being on the verge of desperation, and it gives the series that one tiny glimmer of hope on which it can pin its future.
Maybe these beings aren't running on an endless battery. Despite their unexplained existence, perhaps even these walking dead have an expiration date. If that's the case then it gives the idea of merely surviving, or simply getting by, more meaning. It's a small hope that is still buried under an incredible amount of danger, suffering, and loss, but in a world in which hope is almost entirely absent it means everything.
It also makes spoiling that feeling of hope and calm - by killing off and resurrecting Patrick inside the prison - feel far more important and significant than it would have been, otherwise. Hopefully, that notion of creating calm and then shattering it to see what comes of the pieces will continue throughout the season.
The Walking Dead continues next Sunday with 'Infected' @9pm on AMC.

East Hartford gained one yard on their first possession and threw away the football three plays into their second. On Friday, Sept. 14, Southington's offense scrambled to a 37-0 lead at the end of the first half, but it was the Blue Knight defense and special teams that dictated the pace.
"I remember talking to the offensive guys, and we were asking if the defense was going to give us a chance to put a drive together," Blue Knight quarterback Stephen Barmore said after the 44-14 victory. "The defense gave us exceptional field position, and it was nice to only have to go 20 yards every time we stepped onto the field to get a score."
The opening kick-off set up the first drive inside the red zone for a 7-0 Southington lead. The defense forced East Hartford to punt from their 11 yard line on their first possession to set up another short Southington score. An interception fed the third touchdown. A safety gave the Knights a 23-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, and East Hartford entered halftime without a single first down.
"The defense was swarming to the ball and executed the game plan to perfection," said Blue Knight coach Mike Drury. "That was exactly the way we wanted it. They put the offense in those positions, and it's the offense's job to score."
Southington's offense did their job. Barmore completed 10 of his 13 passes for 102 yards with touchdowns passes to Corbin Garry (5 yards) and Connor John (3 yards). Barmore scrambled for a rushing touchdown on a broken pass play, and Jarrid Grimmett rushed for 49 yards with a trio of scores from inside the five yard line.
Southington built a 44-0 lead by the start of the final quarter.
"The linemen were hitting everything," said Grimmett. "They were making huge, gaping holes for me, and that was making my job easy."
The Hornets scored a pair of late touchdowns to close the deficit to 30 points, but Southington's allowed just 45 yards of total offense. Nick Spitz led the assault with eight tackles. Zach Jamele and Tyler Hyde collected five tackles apiece, and Nate Bonenfant returned a first quarter interception to the 28 yard line to set up Southington's second score of the game.
"The defense came out strong today," Bonenfant said. "We set a good tone in the first quarter on the first few drives, and that just kept us going the whole time."
East Hartford's offense completed just three of 20 passing attempts for 36 yards in the air, and their runners combined for just nine yards rushing on 26 attempts (0.3 yards per carry). Meanwhile, Southington's balanced attack led to runs of 3.4 yard per carry and an average of 10.2 yards per completion.
"We have to have a great balance with this team. Sometimes, it's going to be the run. Sometimes, it's going to be the pass, or whatever it is. For our success over the entire season, that's the way we have to do it," said Drury. "We'll look at the film because the film's never as good as you think or as bad as you think. I'm sure that there will be plenty of things that we can improve on. Plenty."
The Knights (1-0) will try to carry their momentum into next week's conference battle against New Britain (0-1). The Hurricanes are coming off a 31-6 loss to Glastonbury in week one, but will look to turn things around in their home opener.
The game will be held at Veteran's Stadium in New Britain, and kick-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.
"It's going to be big," said Drury. "It's the best grass field in the state. It's going to be an exciting environment, and it's going to be a hard-fought game. We're just looking to start the preparation tomorrow morning."

Jose: I spoke with AVB after axe
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho told his pupil-turned-adversary Andre Villas-Boas to move on swiftly from his sacking by Tottenham.
Mourinho spoke to his fellow Portuguese after Spurs cut their losses on the former Chelsea manager on Monday, relinquishing him from his duties in the wake of the 5-0 loss to Liverpool.
"I spoke with Andre in the last six months; I spoke with him three times," Mourinho said.
"One in that manager's meeting (at the start of the season), one when we played against them and another one a couple of days ago.
"I didn't speak about it (the sacking). Just: 'Come on. The world didn't finish. Let's go. Tomorrow's another day and another job will come. So, happy Christmas'.
"I did not speak about the case, because every case is a case and only the people that is inside really know what was going on."
Even after Spurs' 6-0 loss at Manchester City, Mourinho insisted they were one of Chelsea's five rivals for the Barclays Premier League title.
Mourinho expressed sympathy for his compatriot, who had a challenging and ultimately unsuccessful nine-month stint at Stamford Bridge from the summer of 2011 to March 2012.
And he believes the Spurs board and chairman Daniel Levy should have stood by Villas-Boas, who worked under Mourinho in his formative years before taking managerial roles at Porto - where he won the treble, including the Europa League - Chelsea and then Tottenham.
Mourinho said: "In football nothing surprises me. In football anything can happen.
"(But) when they gave him three or four or five years contract, I think they did it because they trust him and because they think he's the right man to be their manager.
"They have a couple of bad results, I don't think it's a reason to change the trust and to change the manager.
"(But) every case is a different case. I don't know what was going on."

|Stewart Filmscreen Optimizes GrayHawk RS G3 and StudioTek G3 For 1080p HD Projectors
|Thursday, 13 September 2007
Filmscreen Corporation(r), will demonstrate their latest "Generation 3"
versions of the highly popular GrayHawk Reference Screen (RS) and
StudioTek 130 front projection screens. Following last year's release
of the FireHawk G3 1080p, this now completes a family of front
projection screens optimized for 1080p HD projectors.
The GrayHawk RS G3 and StudioTek 130 G3 are the next generation of
Stewart's most popular home cinema front projection screen materials.
Both have been redesigned specifically for 1080p projectors and source
material. True 1080p has arrived with a wide assortment of both
projectors and source devices to choose from. Stewart's re-optimization
of the GrayHawk RS and StudioTek 130's optical coating improves pixel
density to ensure the best possible transparency (imaging or
resolution) of 1080p (and higher) resolution images. To that end, both
the GrayHawk RS G3 and StudioTek 130 G3 provide greater depth, contrast
and color saturation than previous versions. The materials used for
both screens are formulated with reduced surface texture, allowing for
larger screen sizes due to the higher resolution. The superior
performance is so compelling and film-like that the delivery system
becomes completely undetectable.
The G3's ultra-fine optical coating improves uniformity for consistent brightness across the entire screen. Optimized for significantly improved contrast ratio, regardless of the projector, the GrayHawk G3 1080p has a gain of .92, with a half gain of 64 degrees. The StudioTek 130 is rated with a slightly higher gain of 1.3 and a half gain of 42 degrees.
"We are embracing the age of high-definition by offering materials engineered specifically for 1080p," says Joaquin Rivera, Director of Sales for Stewart Filmscreen.
"GrayHawk G3 and StudioTek 130 G3, along with the previously released FireHawk G3, are the perfect companions for the latest generation of 1080p projectors, providing stunning high-definition images. At Stewart, our objective is to take a great looking image, and make it look better. Working with our customers to create the highest image fidelity is our first priority."
GrayHawk RS was the first gray reference screen and has become extremely popular with custom installers and systems integrators. This below unity gain screen serves as the perfect companion for today's ultra-bright projectors that may lack high contrast and in black level. The StudioTek 130 is without question the industry's reference screen, offering 30% more brightness than the average matte-white screen. Joe Kane and the ISF have certified both of their predecessors. The improvements that were integrated into the G3 versions of these two screen materials were closely monitored and supervised by Joe Kane and his official certification of the G3 versions will be announced soon after CEDIA.
In a super high fidelity display, Stewart Filmscreen will showcase the new GrayHawk RS G3 in the biggest way possible, with a 45-inch by 103-inch screen and Runco1080p projector for what will prove to be the image to see during CEDIA '07. To see this demonstration and other Stewart Filmscreen products visit them at Booth #316 at the Colorado Convention Center.

« Back to Restaurants In Beirut - Page 3
Al Sultan Brahim
Traditional fish and grills restaurant
Branches:Minet El Hosn, Antelias, Jounieh
Price:Between 40$ and 60$
Review by Souad
Al Sultan Brahim is one of the famous fancy fish restaurants in Lebanon. We visited the Downtown branch, the location is excellent and the interior is simple and classy. The clientèle is mostly wealthy.
We had a business lunch with a fish menu. The mezze was exquisite with new dishes that I never tasted before. I discovered the Akkary hommos bi tahine: a mix of mashed chickpeas, fish, a tiny quantity of vegetables and a strong taste of tahine. The restaurant is very famous for its mouthwatering Balila. I also recommend the crab salad. The fish was also delicious, well cooked, smelling and looking fresh.
The service is attentive and courteous unlike the intrusive traditional Lebanese restaurants service.
My visit to Al Sultan Brahim Downtown was really enjoyable. If you can afford the high bill, I strongly recommend the restaurant.Write a Review
Mezze, grills, fish, sea food
Suitable for vegetarians. Serves alcohol.

Leo Fender
Leo Fender's solid-body electric guitar changed rock music forever.
A Fender guitar has something special—call it crunch, bite, twang—that makes it the guitar of choice for such virtuosos as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix.
It's safe to say there would be no such thing as rock and roll without its distinctive instrumentation.
To put it another way, rock and roll as we know it could not exist without Leo Fender, inventor of the first solid-body electric guitar to be mass-produced: the Fender Broadcaster. Fender's instruments—which also include the Stratocaster, the Precision bass (the first electric bass) and some of the music world's most coveted amplifiers—revolutionized popular music in general and rock and roll in particular.
Leo Fender was born on August 10, 1909 near Anaheim, California, not far from the future site of his guitar factory. He was an electronics enthusiast and radio repairman who got involved with guitar design after guitar-playing customers kept bringing him their external pickups for repair. Before Fender came along, guitarists met their amplification needs by attaching pickups to the surface of their hollow-bodied instruments. While the question of who designed the first successful solid-body guitar is still being debated, Fender was the first to successfully design and market such an instrument with the introduction of the Broadcaster in 1948. Renamed the Telecaster two years later, Fender's creation remains a mainstay of country and rock musicians who like its clean, biting sound. The guitar became an immediate success, particularly with country pickers. And now, more than sixty years after its introduction, the Telecaster still looks more or less the same.
"Fender could look at something and immediately discern the simplest method of doing whatever had to be done," said Les Paul. "He was a good, honest guy who made a straightforward guitar."
Fender's Precision bass, introduced in 1950, brought a new sound and flexibility to the rhythm section of bands, liberating the bassist from cumbersome standup instruments. The bass-driven soul music of Motown and Stax would have been inconceivable without Fender's handiwork. In 1954 Fender introduced the Stratocaster, a flashier instrument featuring a contoured, double-cutaway body, three (as opposed to two) single-coil pickups and a revolutionary string-bending (tremolo) unit. Fender's Strat has been the favored model of such virtuosic rock guitarists as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
In 1965 Fender sold his company to CBS for $13 million. Then in 1971 he formed the Tri-Sonic Company. In 1974 he changed the company's name to Music Man. One of that firm's most notable instruments was the Stingray bass. Then in 1979 he founded yet another company, G&L Musical Products.
Leo Fender died on March 21, 1991, after suffering from Parkinson's disease for many years.

D7: How Does MySpace Compete, and The Future of High-Value Content
Where does MySpace go from now? That was the big question posed at D7 to Jon Miller who is known for his stint at AOL and now running digital content to News Corp; and Owen Van Natta, who was at Facebook but is now running MySpace, reporting to Miller.
D7 conference hosts Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher showed a survey, saying 40 percent of social networking users use Facebook vs. 38 percent using MySpace. But 61 percent said they used MySpace more in the past; of which 31 percent said they switched to another network and 30 percent "got bored."
Neither gave much specifics on where MySpace would be going, but Van Natta was clear that "we need to continue to innovate a lot more rapidly that we have."
Van Natta said the company was focused on "acting like a startup again" He liked the social networking space, and worked on one before Facebook. Both sites are driving the notion of social activity on the web and looking at things through the lens of your friends, but he said the sites were very different. MySpace is focused on a platform that lets people be creative, and he pointed to music, such as the Green Day page. He also said MySpace was the number 2 site for video.
Miller said "one size fits all" won't work, and talked about how social networking sites focus work best when they focus on something and grow from there. For instance, he said MySpace initially focused on music; Facebook on the college group. He said wanted the company to "continually innovate" and make that part of the DNA of the company, while Van Natta said it needed to be "more entrepreneurial."
Another question - harkening back to the earlier conversation with John Malone - was about paying for content. Miller said that as a consumer, of course, he wants everything to be free, but there has to be some recognition of value. Advertising is part of the mix, but he believes there has to be "perceived differentiation" and that people will pay for it. (NewsCorp. owns the Wall Strett Journal, which sponsors the conference and has the best-known paid web site.)
Miller noted that AOL really took off with "all-you-can-eat" pricing, and said something similar needed to happen with online content. But he said, if you were used to getting $10 to $12 for a physical CD, you're not going to see it again; you might see $6. That difference forces people to rethink their business models.
Van Natta said in the long run there would likely be a mixture of different models for "high-value content" like music, such as downloads, subscriptions, and advertising supports.

After a decade of failed attempts to balance the budget, Gov. Schwarzenegger's declaration of another special session on the subject -- in the final weeks of his governorship -- should occasion the question: Why are they bothering again?
The answer: The budget they passed just a few weeks ago is already badly out of balance. $6.1 billion out of balance.
Will they fix it? No.
California's budget system contains so many whips and chains -- spending mandates, two-thirds supermajorities -- that balancing the budget has become politically and logistically impossible.
But there are three reasons why this is worth doing, even if it ruins some vacations.
1. There are some small but significant savings to be had. There's no way the legislature will fix the whole $6.1 billion deficit in the current year. And it'd be a miracle if they managed to do anything about the projected $19 billion deficit in the budget year that starts next summer. But there are accounting changes, tax swaps and other things that might be attempted to make the books look a little better.
2. Schwarzenegger is giving himself a chance to test drive the new requirement that a budget bill may be passed by majority vote. The moment that Secretary of State Debra Bowen certifies the election results from last week's elections, Prop 25 -- which eliminates the two-thirds requirement for budget bills that had been in place in various forms since the 1930s -- will go into effect. It will be interesting to see if it makes it easier for the governor to get what he wants on the budget. He should be able to make a deal with the majority Democrats -- and not have to worry about getting votes of minority Republicans, as he has had to do under the two-thirds supermajority vote provision.
But the power may not be worth very much, because Republicans can still block revenue increases under other supermajority rules that remain in place. And it's the lack of revenues that has created the current budget fix.
3. This special session helps Gov.-elect Jerry Brown, no matter what results. (Brown was supportive of Schwarzenegger's call for a special session). If the legislature and governor find some budget savings, Brown's own budget-balancing job gets a little bit easier. And if the legislature and Schwarzenegger fail, the special session merely reduces expectations for Brown. If the next governor then makes even modest progress on the budget, he'll be able to declare victory.

Opening and Closing Sessions
Opening Session featuring Christie Hefner
Saturday, July 11, 2009, 5:30 - 7 p.m. at McCormick Place West, W-375
A passionate advocate of freedom of expression, social justice and equal rights and opportunities for women, Christie Hefner will speak at the ALA Annual Conference's Opening General Session. Hefner is a director of the Center for American Progress, a think tank dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through ideas and actions by combining bold policy ideas with a modern communications platform. Previously, Hefner served as chairman and CEO of Playboy Enterprises, overseeing policy, management and strategy in all areas of the company for more than two decades.
As an advocate for First Amendment rights, she created the Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Awards in 1979 to honor individuals who have contributed significantly to the vital effort to protect and enhance those rights for Americans. Since then, more than 125 advocates for First Amendment freedoms have been recognized with the award. In 1993, the Playboy Foundation established the Freedom of Expression Award at the Sundance Film Festival to honor those documentary films that best educate the public on issues of social concern. Hefner has promoted equal rights and opportunities for women in both the political and corporate realms. She was the first woman elected to the Chicago chapter of the Young Presidents' Organization and has worked hard to increase the number of women serving on corporate boards nationwide. In 1991, Hefner was inducted into the Women's Business Development Center Hall of Fame for "opening doors and building opportunities for all women entrepreneurs." Hefner has also distinguished herself as a committed HIV/AIDS activist, dedicating time and resources to many AIDS-related programs.
During her tenure as chairman and CEO of Playboy Enterprises,Hefner recapitalized the company, making it the first New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) corporation allowed to issue a second class of stock with disparate voting rights. She restructured operations and initiated the company's highly successful electronic and international expansions. Extending its magazine franchise overseas, Playboy now is available in 25 localized foreign editions and is the bestselling magazine in both the U.S. and the world.
Hefner has spoken to audiences around the world on a variety of topics, including: the creation of brands and global multichannel marketing, the merits and benefits of developing and running a family business, women leaders and women in business, how to create a successful international business model, the ever-evolving media and its importance, First Amendment rights and their commercial impact, and insight into the American consumer.
Closing Session featuring Steve Lopez
Tuesday, July 14, 2009, 8 - 9 a.m. at McCormick Place West, W-375
The Closing Session will feature Steve Lopez, Los Angeles Times columnist and author of "he Soloist,"recently adapted into a major motion picture. Lopez joined the staff of The Los Angeles Times in May 2001 after four years at Time Inc., where he wrote for Time, Sports Illustrated, Life, and Entertainment Weekly.
Prior to Time Inc., Lopez was a columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer, The San Jose Mercury News, and The Oakland Tribune. His work has won numerous national awards for column writing and magazine reporting.
A California native, Lopez is the author of three novels and a book of non-fiction, "THE SOLOIST: A Lost Dream, an Unlikely Friendship, and the Redemptive Power of Music." "The Soloist" is the moving story of a remarkable bond between a journalist in search of a story and a homeless musician struck down in his prime. It is a captivating true story of humanity and misfortune, courage and perseverance, the strength of art and music as a redemptive force, and the power of friendship to change lives.
When Lopez first saw a homeless violinist standing on a busy street corner in downtown Los Angeles, he was sure it could be good fodder for at least one column. Dressed in rags and clearly livingout of the shopping cart next to him piled high with belongings, thetousled vagrant was playing Beethoven on a battered two-string violin.
The music was a little scratchy and tentative, but even to Lopez's unpracticed ear it was clear he was no beginner. The man was suspicious of Lopez, and everything around him, and it took several weeks of encounters before he offered the reporter his name: Nathaniel Anthony Ayers.
In the 1970s, Ayers had been a promising classical bass student at one of this country's most prestigious music schools until he lost his ability to function. Overcome by schizophrenia, he dropped out and returned home to Cleveland. His family watched helplessly as the smart and smooth-talking man of the arts drifted in and out of treatment for years, trying medication, counseling and shock therapy, none of which helped for long. Ayers ended up in Los Angeles and had been wandering the streets for several years when his path crossed with Lopez in 2005.
Despite knowing little about Nathaniel's illness, Lopez was determined to help. Struggling to figure out an appropriate role in Nathaniel's life, he seeks out mental health professionals, advocates and activists. Virtually all the experts tell Lopez what he doesn't want to hear: there's no easy or quick fix. But they also tell him that if he sticks with it, he can make a meaningful difference in Nathaniel's life.
Besides the many difficulties and demands of helping Nathaniel, Lopez finds himself unable to walk away. And although Lopez holds on to the hope that Nathaniel might one day get past his fears, past the cyclical descents into paranoia and rage and give medication a try, Lopez comes to understand it's not that simple, that there are no magic pills. He learns to accept Nathaniel as he is, and to see hope in small steps. Filled with humor, pathos, and drama, The Soloist is a remarkable story about lifelong dreams and the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit.

How to Obtain Probate Court Approval of an Estate's Accounts
Before you can close a decedent's estate, you need to have your accounts allowed (approved) by the probate court. Check with your local probate court for the exact procedure for allowance of accounts. There are some common requirements, including filing fees, petitions for allowance, delivery of a citation, appointment of a guardian ad litem, filing of a military affidavit, and more.
Time for filing: Although some jurisdictions allow you to file accounts that cover more than one year, others require you to file an account annually with the court, whether or not you seek its allowance by the court.
Filing fees: Most states have a filing fee that must accompany the filing of the account with the probate court. In order to file the account, you need to make that sure you pay these fees.
Petition for allowance: Prepare and file a petition for allowance of the account, and also prepare a proposed order allowing the account. In the petition, you ask that the account(s) in question be allowed, your actions as executor be approved, and anything else pertinent to the particular account, such as your executor's fee and distribution of the residuary estate, be allowed.
Receipts of specific and residuary beneficiaries: With the accounting, file all the receipts from the specific and residuary beneficiaries with the court.
Citation: During the process of closing the estate, you need to deliver a citation to the interested parties. The citation includes a return date for the interested parties to respond to it if they so choose. The order of notice accompanying the citation indicates how far in advance of the return date you must send a copy of the citation to the interested parties.
You obtain the order of notice from the probate court and pay a small fee. You must carefully determine the interested parties who must receive the citation. Check with your local probate court to confirm that you've correctly identified them.
Check to see whether your state requires a specific type of mail for the citation. In Massachusetts, for example, the statute requires you to send the citation by registered mail, which has been further defined to include certified mail. You may also be required to publish the citation in a local newspaper acceptable to the probate court.
Guardian ad litem: A guardian ad litem must be appointed under certain circumstances to represent the interests of persons not yet born or ascertained (such as when the residuary beneficiary is a trust under the will for the decedent's descendants, and the executor is also the trustee), or legally incompetent (such as a minor with no legal guardian).
Military affadavit: In some states, before you can close the estate, you need to file a military affidavit stating whether any beneficiary is in the military service. You must file it whether or not a beneficiary is in the military.
Entry of judgment allowing account: If all is in order when the account is filed and no one objects to its allowance, the court may enter a judgment allowing the account no earlier than the day after the return day. Some courts prepare the judgment, and some require that you prepare a proposed judgment for the court.
Surety: When the accounts have been allowed, notify the surety (the company guaranteeing the bond). The surety will then stop billing the estate for its services.

The Shanghai Port International Cruise Terminal, completed in 2010, is located beneath a new public park on a nearly one-kilometre long waterfront site in central Shanghai, near the historic Bund. Part of a larger effort to galvanise the redevelopment of the area adjacent to the Bund by extending a line of waterfront parks, it also was intended to rejuvenate the local cruise business by providing a highly convenient and welcoming facility for embarking and disembarking travelers.
The 64,000-sq-m terminal has three underground levels below a surface level deep enough to plant large groves of fully grown trees. The top level has vehicular drop offs and the main departure hall with immigration areas and moving sidewalks to small boarding pavilions at the surface. The second level below has baggage pickup and customs, and the third is for parking. It is able to serve three cruise ships of the 2,000-passenger class at a time, with expected eventual throughput of 1,000,000 passengers per year.
The light-filled departure area results from a design that entwines the underground with the surface and city skyline keeping them from being two unrelated experiences. This 'surface tension' is expressed by an undulating green surface that pulls away from the ground to become a bridge-like form combining the functions of a skylight, amphitheatre, gateway and a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional Chinese motif of a footbridge in a park.
The terminal is passively cooled by river water, in which it is fully immersed with a system of double walls at its perimeter, pre-cooling the circulating air. Connected to the terminal is a 260-ft-long glass observation bubble that floats on steel legs above the park, providing spectacular city views and an arena for public functions. One of the largest and most complex bubble structures ever built, it uses advanced environmental multilayered glazing with four sided panels whose geometry of constantly proportional conic sections assures optical flatness. Classed as a high rise building under the Shanghai Code, it has three interwoven levels folded within the shell like the interior of an oyster.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen.
Regarding the Power Sword, I'll thank you for your comments and note that a lot of fans didn't like its new powers. I'll humbly take credit -- or blame, depending upon your point of view -- for the new powers. My feeling was that He-man was going on an epic journey, not only through space but through time as well. So, using a bit of creative license, I wanted his sword to be affected by it -- hence the new powers. I also hoped it would freshen up things a bit.
You know, while I'm on the subject of 'freshening up' things, I want to say a few words on that point. I know there's been a lot of spirited debate on this thread about Skeletor in particular. Now I'm not going to get into his eyes or his voice, since I didn't have anything to do with that. But I did have everything to do with Skeletor's personality in N/A. I hoped to add to his already strong personality and give it a few new twists. A lot of fans liked the fact that I gave Skelly a sense of wry humor and had him occasionally deliver a wisecrack. A lot of fans also throught it was pure sacrilege. Personally, I had a lot of fun with it. I felt it made the character more dimensional and layered. I can tell you that when I sat down to write each day that it was Skeletor who I looked forward to hanging out with for ten-to-twelve hours.
Of course that's a personal observation, and the debate about whether or not it was the right decision will continue. But I think there's a secondary point to consider here -- and one I admittedly had not thought about when I quite consciously made the Skeletor decision. And here's that secondary point: Because the opinions are divided, strong debate has erupted. And it's in that debate that He-man fans show their passion -- on either side of the debate. I think that's very healthy, because it keeps the fires of excitement about this extraordinary and much beloved franchise burning bright. And I think all fans who are arguing the Skeletor issue are to be applauded -- whether they agree with and enjoyed my decision or vehemently and articulately oppose it -- because it shows they are devoted fans who hold strongly to their opinions. Fortunate the series to have such fans after so many years. Fortunate, indeed, the writer to be involved with such a series and with such fans.

The federal government's shutdown came on the 123th anniversary of Yosemite National Park, which means all birthday celebrations have been canceled.
The park officially closed on Tuesday, the first government shutdown in 17 years. And instead of welcoming visitors with cheers and birthday candles, park rangers are escorting people out of the Yosemite Valley.
In a second strange turn of events, the anniversary was the inspiration for Tuesday's Google Doodle, which is seen by millions of people each day. Many of them may not be aware that the park the doodle is promoting is off limits.
Google said the timing was an "unfortunate coincidence."
This has not been a great summer for Yosemite. The Rim Fire -- California's third largest wildfire in state history -- crossed into the park boundaries and damaged 78,748 acres of national park land.
Google said it choose to acknowledge Yosemite in part because it was damaged by the fire.
"In the wake of this year's devastating California's Rim Fire, our doodle celebrates Yosemite's past and future," Google wrote.
According to the national park's contingency plan, Yosemite's shutdown process is already underway.
"Day use visitors will be instructed to leave the park immediately. Visitors utilizing overnight concession accommodations and campgrounds will be notified to make alternate arrangements and depart the park," the contingency read.
(Yosemite)IS CLOSED to Park visitors, PER PARK RANGERS, SR41/SR140/SR120 roads remain open to RESIDENTS and THRU TRAFFIC over Tioga Pass!
— CHP Central Division (@CHPCentralDiv) October 1, 2013
Not the best way to kick off a birthday party. Instead of party favors, rangers are shoo-ing any would-be park guests away.
Google wasn't the only one to honor Yosemite. San Francisco's DeYoung Museum also posted the below Happy Birthday photo on its Instagram feed.

|Canton Introduces Compact Two-Way Monitor in its Flagship Vento Reference Line
|Thursday, 11 October 2007
has introduced the Vento Reference 9 DC, a two-way compact loudspeaker
in the company's flagship Vento Reference series. Combining the line's
signature elegant curved cabinet design with high-end driver advances
and crossover construction, the Reference 9 DC is ideal for use as a
monitor in a high-end audio system, or in the front LCR position of a
home theater.
"The Reference 9 DC is the finest compact design we've ever offered,"
said Canton Chief Designer Frank Göbl. "By implementing the
improvements to the cabinet, driver motor structures and electronic
component selection developed for the larger Vento Reference speakers,
we have built a reference monitor for the most discriminating of audio
enthusiasts. Additionally, by including our Displacement Control
technology, usually offered only in our large floorstanding models, we
have extended its bass response to rival that of speakers several times
its size."
The Canton Vento Reference 9 DC is a compact two-way design in an cabinet structure formed from six layers of acoustically inert fiberboard that are pressure-laminated together one at a time into an extremely inert monocoque structure. The cabinet is finely appointed in either silver or black hand-rubbed piano lacquer finish.
The Canton Vento Reference 9 DC employs a highly refined version of the company's acclaimed ADT-25 dome tweeter. The 1-inch dome is made from an alloy of aluminum and manganese that results in an extremely light and rigid structure that has excellent power handling and dispersion characteristics. It's dome and voice coil former are fashioned from a single piece of aluminum-manganese alloy for reduced mass, significantly improved heat dispersion, and elimination of the problems associated with glued junctions in this critical area. The shape of the dome has also been refined for higher rigidity, and better performance at high frequencies and power levels than conventional metal domes.
The 7-inch aluminum cone woofer used in the Reference 9 DC is a version of Canton's highly regarded aluminum cone design, which includes a concave dust cap for greater linearity and better dispersion characteristics. For the Reference 9 DC, the driver's motor structure has been enhanced through the use of improved magnet structure to provide greater linear excursion capabilities and increased power handling. Additionally, the driver includes the company's exclusive wave surround and an upgraded spider assembly to support this increased excursion, contributing to overall reduction in distortion, and improvements in low frequency response and output.
Finally, the Reference 9 DC crossover circuitry has been redesigned with stricter component tolerances, higher current carrying capability and improved overall signal purity. The Vento Reference 9 DC is the only compact speaker Canton offers that includes the company's exclusive DC (Displacement Control) Technology, which uses a proprietary high-pass filter to prevent signals below the audible frequency range from interfering with the bass driver. In conventional speakers, these signals can generate high levels of unwanted harmonic distortion in the audible lower bass range, causing a muffled or "blatty" tonal quality. DC technology allows the speakers to provide clear, linear bass reproduction at much lower frequencies than could otherwise be attained.
The Canton Vento Reference 9 DC is currently available at a suggested retail price of $4,000 per pair.

TBS Orders Pilot for "Do It Yourself," New Sitcom from Walt Becker and Rob Long
TBS has ordered a pilot for Do It Yourself, a new sitcom from executive producers and creators Walt Becker (Wild Hogs, Van Wilder) and Rob Long (Cheers, TBS's Sullivan & Son). The pilot is being produced by TBS.
Do It Yourself is the story of Nick, a 20-something laid-off math teacher who finds himself thrust into the blue collar world when he gets a job at that most American of retail institutions: the big box home supply store. Nick quickly becomes the de facto leader of his band of misfit coworkers while also figuring out ways to redefine what it means to be a teacher.

Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) Workshop; near Barrie, Ontario
Ability Expansion Centre
Friday, October 14, 2016 at 9:00 AM - Monday, October 17, 2016 at 4:00 PM (EDT)
Event Details
TIR Training Workshop.
This workshop covers the nature of trauma, the consequences of traumatic incidents, and the Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) technique. TIR is a one-on-one, highly structured, yet person-centered approach to resolving the emotional charge contained in traumas and permanently eliminating their negative aftereffects in a brief amount of time. TIR is evidence-based, and listed on SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices. The TIR workshop also teaches how past traumas are triggered, and how unwanted feelings, emotions, sensations, attitudes, and pains ("themes") resulting from past trauma can be traced back to their origins and eliminated. The workshop also teaches Unblocking, a technique that is highly useful in preparing a client for TIR and for handling issues that are not directly trauma-related. Unblocking can be applied to broad areas of life (e.g. "your marriage", "your job", etc.)
This workshop is appropriate for all levels of practising social workers, psychologists, therapists, counsellors, clergy, and critical incident stress debriefers.

The Best Wedding Hairstyle Inspo If You Want to Wear It Down
Romantic Wedding Hair
On your wedding day, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking you need to wear your hair in some fancy updo or intricate low-bun to match the formality of the occasion. But that's not true: If you usually wear your hair down, why make a major change on the one day you'll be photographed the most? Still, wearing your hair down doesn't need to be a wash-and-go situation. There are myriad ways to keep your look from veering into boring, everyday territory: If you have naturally wavy hair, you could play with your texture and opt for a retro finger wave, and curly girls can play with their natural volume. Or if your strands are straight, you can top

Stevens on Oregon's radar
INDIANAPOLIS — I ran into Brad Stevens' old fraternity brother from DePauw in the hotel elevator this morning and he said that Oregon is going after Stevens. Checked around my alma mater and apparently, former Oregon athletic director Pat Kilkenny, the point man on the coaching search, has flown to Indianapolis to check out interest.
It's a good fit. The Ducks move into a state-of-the-art, Nike-backed arena next winter and want a big name to usher in the new era. Pittsburgh's Jamie Dixon wasn't interested. Mark Turgeon, a former Duck assistant, signed an extension at Texas A&M. Oregon was not really interested in Minnesota's Tubby Smith and knew it had no shot at Michigan State's Tom Izzo.
With Stevens engineering one of the great Cinderella stories in Final Four history, the Butler coach has now filled the bill as a "big name." He also only makes $900,000, making him more affordable than the coaches who told Oregon no. However, he's an Indiana boy through and through. He grew up in the Indianapolis suburb of Zionsville, went to school at DePauw and worked in marketing in Indianapolis before joining Butler as an assistant in 2001.
Would he leave for Nike money? He's already atop everyone's wish list but Oregon should be atop every coach wanting to move up. It's the most attractive opening (Boston College, DePaul, Charlotte), nearly the entire team is back and the Pac-10 is awful. It's there for the taking. Stay tuned. After the Final Four, news from Butler won't end.

Original mixed media painting on paper, 12 x 9".
This painting was made in Sweden during my 2016 adventure in Europe. In Scandinavia I was taken by their love for boating and the Viking's spirit of adventure.
In Sweden we stayed in a house that was literally on the water (the house was built on dock) within a marina where I watched the sailboats go in and out of the bay. It was immensely peaceful and beautiful.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Ben Crane has waited so long to contend for another PGA Tour title that being patient through weather delays is no problem at all.
Staying atop the leaderboard into the third round helps.
FEDEX ST. JUDE CLASSIC: Saturday's third-round scores
Crane went more than 28 hours between competitive shots due to weather delays, and he was at 13 under with a four-stroke lead through six holes Saturday when another storm stopped play again at the St. Jude Classic.
"What an opportunity I have," Crane said. "Certainly at the beginning of the week I never thought I would have been here, so I'll just try to go home relax, get some food in me and sleep as fast as I can because we got to come back out at 7 a.m. and restart tomorrow."
Troy Merritt, a group ahead of Crane, was at 9 under, with playing partner Peter Malnati at 8 under. Billy Horschel, Retief Goosen and Camilo Villegas were 7 under on their front nines.
SATURDAY'S TOP PHOTOS: Our favorite shots from the PGA, LPGA and European Tour
Phil Mickelson, who hasn't won in 19 consecutive events dating to the British Open, had pars on each of his first nine holes and was at 5 under. He's one of many players using the event to tune up for the U.S. Open next week at Pinehurst.
Play stopped at 7:49 p.m. ET with officials hoping to have the leaders tee off for the final round by 10:10 a.m. ET Sunday, if they can avoid a fog delay like the one that delayed the start of play for an hour Saturday morning.
A storm Thursday forced 60 players to wrap up the first round Friday, and only 32 finished the second before two delays, the second for a thunderstorm that left water standing in fairways, bunkers and cart paths. The third round finally started at 3 p.m. with threesomes going off both tees. At least fans got to stick around all of Saturday afternoon after being sent home early the past two days.
DON'T SWING HARDER: Peter Kostis breaks down John Daly's swing in slow-motion
Crane didn't tee off until 5:50 p.m. ET Saturday after finishing up his second round at 1:18 p.m. ET Friday.
But this is Crane's 300th career PGA Tour start, even though his last win was in 2011 at the McGladrey Classic. Crane said he can't remember playing with a lead this late in a tournament it's been so long.
He is putting well here this week, and he birdied his first hole to go to 13 under for the tournament as he rolled in a nearly 19-footer on the par-4 first. After hitting his approach into the rough behind the green on No. 2, Crane made a 12-footer to save par.
"Those are kind of critical putts right now, kind of keep the momentum going," Crane said.
Merritt, who did not make a start on tour in 2012 or 2013 and missed his first six cuts this year, is the closest to Crane.
U.S. OPEN DISQUALIFICATION: Millard calls penalty on himself, five days later
"Anything can happen on the final day when we've seen six-shot leads falter on the last day," Merritt said. "If you can stay within a couple shots, that would be great. Anything can happen on Sunday on the PGA Tour."
Mickelson tied for 49th last week in the Memorial following a visit from FBI agents and lingering questions about an insider-trading investigation. He never teed off at all Friday with the horn blowing for the second time with him at the No. 1 tee.
He said he couldn't hit his irons close enough or his putts in his second round. He started bogey-birdie-bogey-birdie, though he birdied Nos. 14 and 15 to get to 5 under. He rolled in a 16-footer to save par on the par-5 16th and wasn't happy at missing a birdie opportunity with the pin at the front of the green.
"I had a chance to get up and down," Mickelson said. "I think if I had birdied 16 I might have gotten one more with a little bit of momentum. ... I'm certainly not that far back, but I do need to get off to a quick start. I got to get a good front nine here this third round and get off to a fast start."
Divots: Local favorite John Daly was among 71 making the cut at even par. Defending champ Harris English missed the cut along with Patrick Reed, Lee Westwood and David Toms, a two-time champ here. ... David Duval withdrew after seven holes in his second round. He was at 7 over for the tournament. He was the 10th player to withdraw since this event started.

The CA major is designed to provide a breadth of knowledge and depth of understanding of the arts which prepare students for a wide variety of professional programs and careers.
The Program provides great flexibility and individualized advising and is selected by students with diverse career interests: performing arts, creative writing, cultural journalism, arts administration, teaching, etc.
University catalog description
B.A. Creative Arts, Preparation for Teaching
The Creative Arts Diversified B.A. is a major fully approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing to meet all of the requirements for a generic "liberal studies" program for aspiring K-8 teachers.
The Creative Arts major, however, is outstanding among approved California programs for its emphasis on the Arts; we expect our graduates to enter today's culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms with the ability to approach all subjects through the arts.
The Diversified B.A. waives passage of the MSAT exam, otherwise required at entrance to a credential program. On the other hand, passage of the MSAT waives the requirements that students take specific General Education and Supporting Courses.
If you wish to teach at the High School level, you will need to complete a Secondary (not Multiple Subject) Credential. In that case, your undergraduate degree should be in a program prerequisite to the Secondary Credential Program--such as Art Education, Music Education, or English.

Caterpillar names revealed!
Ten days ago I asked you for suggestions for names for my two monarch caterpillars, then what with work and the beginning of the school year and all, my 3rd-grader and I took forever to go through your suggestions and pick something. But last night, the decision was made. I'll let my kid tell you what we're calling the little buggers:
For those who couldn't watch the video, the bigger caterpillar is now named "Chaos" and the smaller one is named "Buttercup." Thanks, Morgan Alsbrook and JohnDrake6.
And it looks like we named Chaos just in time. This morning it crawled to the top of its shoebox, so I think the process of making a chrysalis is about to begin.
