More academic accolades rolled in for the Apple Valley Christian boys and girls cross country teams on Monday.

The Warriors earned CIF State academic team championships in both sports for the highest team un-weighted grade point average in the first semester of the 2009-10 school year in their respective sports in the state regardless of school size.

In fact the six runners on the girls team achieved a combined 3.953 grade point average — the highest for a team in any sport that competed in CIF this past year.

The boys team (3.90 GPA) won its second state title in three years, and team captain Caleb Brown, who graduated with the third best GPA in the senior class, participated on both teams.

"We knew they had a chance," coach Lisa Carlucci said. "I was tracking it, but to see it and see that they both won state, and the girls had the highest GPA, that even took me by surprise. They were a great group of kids. I wish I could coach a group like that every year."

Each of the Warriors cross country teams also won a CIF-Southern Section Academic Team Championship for schools with enrollment of 1,499 and under earlier this year, which allowed team captains Lara Richmond and Brown to walk onto the Angels Stadium field in a pregame ceremony.

Carlucci said that she didn’t know an award like this existed until that championship in 2008. It’s motivate the teams ever since.

"We talked about it,tiffany money clips," Carlucci said. "We knew from get-go that the team had a shot at it. The team encouraged it. We talked about grades and how grades were doing."

Apple Valley Christian was one of four schools to win at least two state academic championships this year, and only Harker School (Central Coast Section) and La Costa Canyon (San Diego Section) with three had more academic team championships this year. There was a champion for each of the respective 28 sports.

The academic success hasn’t been limited to the cross country teams at Apple Valley Christian. Its boys basketball, boys golf,tiffany necklaces, boys volleyball,tiffany rings, girls volleyball and softball each ranked in the top 11 grade point average in the small-school division. In all,discount tiffany, the school has claimed six Southern Section academic championships.

While CIF requires student athletes to have a 2.0 grade point average with no Fs, the school requires student athletes to have a 2.5 grade point average to compete.

"From an academic standpoint, these awards say what we’re about," Apple Valley Christian athletic director Rick Huff said.

The AVC girls country team won its first league title, while the boys finished second in the Agape League.

After nearly 30 years in the Harriet Tubman community,tiffany necklaces, the Boys and Girls Club of Chattanooga closed its doors there this month because of financial difficulty.

The agency will be replaced by the Front Porch Alliance, a nonprofit, faith-based organization that will start programming Thursday.

"This is an opportunity for girls and boys to be exposed to new activities provided by Front Porch Alliance," said Harriet Tubman development resident Anita Pickett.

Chattanooga Housing Authority officials announced the change Tuesday at a monthly board meeting.

Boys and Girls Club President Michael Cranford said the club just couldn’t raise the money to staff the center.

"We’ve been there for 28 years," he said. "If we were able to raise the money to go back in and serve, we would be happy to do it."

Mr. Cranford said the Boys and Girls Club needs $175,000 to operate programs at the facility for one year. The agency offered leadership classes, online computers, a game room and tutoring to students.

Housing authority officials said they were not financially able to share expenses with the club to keep it open.

Boys and Girls Club representatives are trying to find a way to transport children from the Harriet Tubman community to other Boys and Girls Club locations in East Lake and Highland Park, Mr. Cranford said. The Boys and Girls Club also offers a summer camp in Apison.

Ms. Pickett is among several Harriet Tubman residents who say they look forward to the new activities that the Front Porch Alliance may offer.

"We’re going to have Little League teams — baseball, football and wrestling — reading programs and field trips," she said.

Dayton Harris, who coaches the Inner City Broncos youth football team and a youth baseball team through the city’s Parks and Recreation Department, is director of the Front Porch Alliance’s summer youth programs.

He said he plans to use the relationships with the city and Inner City Ministries to involve Harriet Tubman youth in Little League sports, including a wrestling team.

The Front Porch Alliance has the funds needed to be in the Harriet Tubman community during July and August and will work to raise money so that it may stay longer, said Kay Thompson,tiffany earrings, Front Porch fund developer and summer youth program administrator.

Programming will target youth ages 5 to 12 and is free, but parents must bring their children and register them to participate, Ms. Thompson said.

The Front Porch Alliance also will offer breakfast, leadership training,tiffany rings, age-appropriate financial literacy training, math, reading and writing, she said.

Next to College Hill Courts,tiffany money clips, Harriet Tubman is the second largest public housing site in the city with 417 housing units. College Hill Courts has 497, records said.

A Fountain woman will spend 13 years on probation for the stabbing of her boyfriend.

Karen Henson, 48, pleaded no contest to aggravated battery with a deadly weapon

week. She was sentenced to 21 months in prison but already has credit for 24 months ser ved in custody.

Investigators charged that on April 6, 2008, she stabbed her sleeping boyfriend, Leslie H. Smith, in the stomach.

Henson used a 10-inch butcher knife in the attack, according to a complaint affidavit written by Investigator Jason Daffin.

"The blade went into Leslie’s abdomen all the way to the handle," Daffin wrote.

When deputies reached Smith, he was able to tell them what happened, and authorities began to search for Henson. They found her — shot with birdshot on her left side and leg — sitting near another home on the property.

When questioned,tiffany necklaces, Terry Smith, Leslie Smith’s brother, said Henson knocked on his front door and said she had just killed his brother. Terry Smith told her to leave, then grabbed his shotgun and went outside to his van.

I n v e s t i g a t o r s s a i d Smith was going to check on his brother, but Henson suddenly appeared with a pipe and attacked the van, smashing the windshield and driver’s-side window. Smith told investigators he jumped into the rear of the van to escape her and at some point,tiffany bracelets, he fired the shotgun.

Henson was deemed incompetent to stand trial shortly after she was arrested, but Circuit Judge Dedee Costello determined in May that she was competent and ordered the attorneys involved to prepare for a trial.

Smith told prosecutors he did not want Henson to be sent to prison for a long time despite being stabbed and nearly killed by her, court officials said. Henson had been charged with attempted murder, but that charge was dropped as part of the plea arrangement.

"This plea was extended at the request of the victim and is appropriate under the circumstances," Assistant State Attorney Tracy Smith said.

Henson will have to pay court costs and fines.

Because she has been in state custody — either in jail or a mental facility — for 24 months, Henson already has served the prison portion of her sentence, court officials said.

She began her probation last week. Her probation requires her to stay in an assisted living facility and she cannot have contact with the victim or his family,tiffany money clips, officials said. If she violates her probation,tiffany pendants, Henson could face up to 13 years in prison.

 A Stamford woman accused by police last year of running over her 72-year-old boyfriend over a fight about how he cared for the woman’s tortoise,tiffany necklaces, was granted a diversionary court program for the mentally ill that could wipe away her criminal charges.

Judge Richard Comerford granted the Supervised Diversionary Program to Heather Harris,tiffany bangles, 65, last week.

In 2009, Harris was charged with first-degree assault and hit and run when she struck the man with her 2007 Honda Accord.

When the man got up, she struck him again and he landed on the hood of her car, sending him to the hospital, a police report of the incident said.

In order for her to get into the program,

prosecutors changed the first-degree assault charge to second-degree assault and she was allowed into the program, which, if successfully completed over the next two years, will expunge the charges.

If she is arrested again, the program could be terminated.

Harris’ attorney, Stephan Seeger,discount tiffany, said putting her into the program was the right thing to do.

In a earlier interview with The Advocate, the former boyfriend said that Harris needed mental help and he did not want to see her go to jail.

The program, known around the courthouse as psych AR for another diversionary program called accelerated rehabilitation,tiffany money clips, covers non-serious crimes committed by those with mental and emotional conditions that have strong negative effects on the ability to function and who require care and treatment.

"The psych AR is a new program and it is there because the legislature realized that mental illness underlies a lot of conduct that becomes criminalized," Seeger said. "It also helps us better understand

whether these people should be punished or treated."

When she applied for the program in February, Supervisory Assistant State’s Attorney Steven Weiss said about a dozen people applied to be admitted to the program.

Harris became enraged with her boyfriend after he brought back her decades old tortoise Turkel with injuries to the its feet.

The tortoise had been in the care of the man when the injuries occurred.

Seeger said he had no doubt that if Harris had been in therapy or seeing a counselor that the incident at the Bull’s Head Diner parking lot on April 6, 2009 would have never occurred.

Harris’ program requires her to see a therapist two times a week for the next two years while she is in the diversionary program, Seeger said.

Assistant State’s Attorney David Applegate declined to comment on the case.

"I’m confident that although this is a serious set of charges, this has been worked out in such a way that it is less likely to happen again, because we estimate that treatment will be effective in this case," Seeger said.

As news of former top model Viveka Babajee’s death sinks in,tiffany money clips, the fashion industry is still reeling from shock. On the night that she took her life in her Bandra apartment, most people refused to answer calls. Those who did,tiffany earrings, hadn’t heard the tragic news yet. "I can’t believe it," said designer Nikasha Tawadey. "I am designing the wedding garment of one of her close friends which is happening in July. She was supposed to be there."

Delhi-based make-up artiste Ambika Pillai revealed that the industry was waiting for Babajee’s mother and sister to fly down from Mauritius so that plans for a funeral or memorial service could be finalised. She said,"We may fly down to Mumbai, but nothing will happen before her mother gets here."

Romance Gone Wrong

Babajee’s suicide note mentioned a Gautam Vora who is currently being questionned on his involvement by the police. While clues point to a bad relationship, industry insiders believe that a failed business could have also played a hand. Babajee was the director of an event management company called Vibgyor Entertainment. Model and actor Aryan Vaid revealed, "A couple of days ago, she mentioned on Facebook that she wasn’t working with her event management company anymore. Sometimes, when your career isn’t doing well and your personal life is a mess, it all seems hopeless."

Choreographer and Babajee’s contemporary, Marc Robinson, received the news while out of the country. "Poor poor girl. It’s such a waste of a life," he opined.

Bright Beginnings

Photographer Atul Kasbekar was the lensman behind the Kamasutra ad that catapulted Babajee to instant fame. "I did her first campaign when she came to India from Mauritius. I remember thinking she was stunning," he recalled, adding, "I’m just as shocked as everybody else. Then,tiffany bracelets, the choice of model for the ad was clear. She was in a field of one." Kasbekar added, "Everybody thought she was doing very well for herself. People on the outside think this is a glamourous life. But one day, the phone will stop ringing and the work will dry up. It’s a stressful life."

Former Miss India Anna Bredmeyer was a close friend of Babajee and revealed,tiffany cuff Links, "I’ve known her since she first got into the business. She was the nicest person. I don’t think anybody had a problem with her because she never stepped on anybody’s toes."

Bredmeyer had recently met the model at an event. She said, "I was with my son, who Viveka was very fond of. She seemed perfectly happy. I just wish that she had reached out to somebody before taking such a drastic step."

Fact File

Viveka Babajee was a former Miss Mauritius. She shot to fame with the ad for Kamasutra condoms. She started an event management company called Vibgyor Entertainment. She allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself from a ceiling fan with the gas turned on. Her suicide note mentions probable boyfriend Gautam Vora.

Fashion sense

Cricket by the Creek and Riverside Senior Living recently teamed up for the fashion event of the season. The idea came from Michelle Campbell, executive director of Riverside, who contacted Cricket by the Creek. They were eager to work with Brenda Hightower, activities director, to get the show started! Most of the models were residents or employees, and included Campbell, June Hall, Faye Smart, Sue Timberlake, Jimmie Dean Hambrick and Ann Sims of Cricket. These lovely ladies were escorted down the runway by tuxedo-clad Steve Hall. Robin Williams was Mistress of Ceremonies.

The fittings were, quite possibly, one of the most fun parts — and the women purchased most everything they modeled.

Following the show, refreshments were served as more than 40 guests ooh’d and ahh’d over the exquisite fashions as well as the models themselves.

In my life

Mother had dinner with neighbors while Daddy worked the night sale. Money was hard to come by, and he had to work hard for the baby that was soon due. After the neighbors walked her back across the street, she decided to take a warm bath to ease both the tummy and back aches from her feast. Nannie called to check on her before leaving work at the end of her shift at the hospital. As Mother related her evening, Nannie hung up on her and called a cab. She got there about the same time Daddy did and informed him that Mother was indeed in labor. Daddy kept the motor running as they ran inside to collect Mother, grabbing her suitcase and rushing back to the car. Nannie rode in the backseat while Daddy drove. Mother, who had by then figured out what was happening, was left standing on the stoop.

At the hospital, Daddy came around to help Nannie get Mother out of the car. Nannie, in turn, had gotten out to assist Mother from the front passenger seat. Suddenly they looked at each other in shock, got back in the car and flew home to get Mother. By this time poor Mother had started to waddle down the street to wake a neighbor. While this true story much resembles an "I Love Lucy" episode, they made it just in time. Thank you, Mother and Daddy, not only for my roots, but for the laughter and the tears we have shared together for 49 years tomorrow.

It was clear that a bloom boom was on the way when Sarah Jessica Parker and high-profile editors, including InStyle fashion director Cindy Weber-Cleary, wore florals to the Council of Fashion Designers of America awards a few weeks ago. This is not a "Steel Magnolias"-era revival. For an of-the-moment look, try abstract, blurred or — at the other extreme — graphic or black-and-white motifs. Add a tough edge with studded sandals, leather or denim. For the CFDA event, Weber-Cleary, who is in her 50s and meets or exceeds the fashion editor quota of black, wore what she describes as a "blownout computer floral" dress by Behnaz Sarafpour. "It was pink and yellow and a crazy print, but it was a very modern floral, as opposed to a sweet one, which is why I felt I could get away with it." Past a girlish age, she said, "you don’t want that baby cutesy daisy print." But other so-called rules are silly, she said, including the idea that larger women should avoid large prints. "Prints can be the most forgiving thing because they keep your eye moving," she said, "rather than solid black that keeps you looking at the outline."

Give us liberty and give us depth: "Florals are perennial, they’re always back for spring in one way or another," said Weber-Cleary. "The Liberty floral print has had a real pervasive influence. It’s all over the place, everywhere from the Gap up to the designer level." J. Crew’s pocket cardigan backs up a crisp cotton vintage-inspired Liberty print with soft cotton knit,tiffany rings, for a mixed texture that also resonates this summer.

In the absence of any "expressed" contractual limitations,tiffany cuff Links, an arbitrator is free to fashion a fitting and necessary remedy to a contract dispute
Matter of City of New York v District Council 37 AFSCME, 2010 NY Slip Op 05671, Decided on June 24, 2010, Appellate Division, First Department
An arbitrator ruled that a number of individuals employed as New York City Public Health Advisors (PHAs) by the City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene were entitled to $1,800 for each year since the filing of the grievance claiming that they had been performing out-of-title work.
The City appealed, contending that any monetary remedy for the out-of-title work should be "the difference in pay between existing titles covered under the parties’ collective bargaining agreement,tiffany money clips, and not some "new term" of compensation "created" by the arbitrator." The City argued that the remedy provided by the arbitrator was "in excess of her powers under the collective bargaining agreement and contrary to the public policy that compensation be negotiated."
Supreme Court dismissed the City’s appeal and the Appellate Division sustained the lower court’s determination.
The Appellate Division said that regardless of any arbitral precedent there might be for such a limitation on the arbitrator’s remedy-fashioning powers under collective bargaining agreements like this one, "it plainly can have no application where, as here, there is no dispute that the hybrid out-of-title duties performed by the PHAs do not match the job specifications of any other existing titles."
Under the circumstances,discount tiffany, said the court, "an arbitrator’s powers are not limited,tiffany bangles, as the City appears to argue, to a cease and desist order."
As there was no "plain and express contractual limitation" in the collective bargaining agreement limiting the powers of the arbitrator, "the arbitrator properly directed the parties to negotiate; when the negotiations reached an impasse, the arbitrator properly invited the parties to submit proof of the value of the out-of-title services performed, including their last best offers; and, on that basis, fashioned fitting and necessary relief."

Baltimore, Maryland – A federal grand jury has indicted Margie L. Milisitz, age 58, of Severna Park, Maryland,tiffany key rings, and her son, John Milisitz, age 37, of Carlsbad, California, for mail fraud and interstate transportation of stolen property in connection with a scheme to defraud the Baltimore Washington Medical Center (BWMC), where Margie Milisitz was employed. The indictment was returned on March 25,tiffany earrings, 2010, and unsealed today upon the arrest of the defendants in San Diego, California.

The indictment was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein and Special Agent in Charge Richard A. McFeely of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

According to the 18 count indictment, Margie Milisitz was employed by BWMC as the Manager of Telecommunications and was responsible for overseeing the purchase and maintenance of telecommunication services and equipment for BWMC, including cellular telephones, pagers, and other technology used by physicians and other personnel at the hospital. It was part of Margie Milisitz’s duties to select vendors for the various telecommunications services and equipment, issue purchase orders, as well as to review and approve invoices from those vendors for payment of those services and equipment.

The indictment alleges that beginning in May 2005, and continuing until January 15, 2008, Margie and John Milisitz created and caused to be created false invoices in the name of Global 1 Telecommunications and U.S. Cellular that purported to charge BWMC for various telecommunications services and equipment that had in fact never been provided to BWMC. According to the indictment, Margie Milisitz would falsely indicate to the BWMC Accounts Payable Department that the goods and services listed on the Global 1 and US Cellular invoices had been received by BWMC, which,tiffany pendants, in turn, caused the Accounts Payable Department to issue payment on the invoices. The payments were deposited into bank accounts in California which were controlled by John Milisitz. As a result of this scheme,tiffany cuff Links, the indictment alleges that the Milisitz’s obtained more than $380,000 from BWMC to which they were not entitled. The indictment seeks forfeiture of that amount as the proceeds of the scheme.

The defendants face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison on each count of mail fraud and 10 years in prison on each of 16 counts of interstate transportation of stolen property. Margie and John Milisitz are not yet scheduled for an initial appearance in the United States District Court for Southern California.

An indictment is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by indictment is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceedings.

United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorney Kathleen O. Gavin, who is prosecuting the case.
