If you hate Weiner and hope very much that he'll depart public life in a humiliating fashion, I can see why you would be very excited about this. But it's way, way too thin right now to be as worked up as Goldberg and friends.
Although 81 percent of the state is experiencing an "extreme drought," for many parts of California there is no apparent water shortage. Visit the highest-income neighborhoods and you'll see lush lawns and sparkling fountains defiantly sucking our lifeblood from the Earth. Apparently, as reporter Ann Louise Bardach fou...
To find out how celebs manage to remain so hydrated, Bardach visited Montecito, a tiny, tony city just southeast of Santa Barbara. Montecito is famous for many reasons, including having some of the highest real estate values in the country. That, paired with its proximity to L.A., makes it a haven for celebrities, who ...
...Bob Hazard, a retired hotel CEO who writes a news column for the Montecito Journal, says he would not be surprised if some of the town's wealthiest are "paying as much as $15,000 a month for trucked-in water."
In response to the drought, and perhaps because so many residents are shipping their H2O from god knows where, Montecito was able to cut its water usage by 48 percent by laying down some pretty strict conservation efforts, like prohibiting homeowners from refilling pools or watering their polo fields.
In May, 837 defiant—or careless—residents coughed up $532,000 in penalties, or a collective overage of about 13 million gallons of town water. The beachfront Biltmore Four Seasons was whacked with a penalty of $48,000 for using about one million gallons over its allotment in April, while a nearby private home sucked up...
I see the same thing happening here in L.A. The city is under similar water restrictions as Montecito, and you can report anyone for breaking the rules. Yet as you drive west through the neighborhoods of Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, and Brentwood, the lawns miraculously grow greener. I actually tried in vain the other day t...
THIS weekend will be a huge one for basketball in Coffs Harbour with 59 junior and two senior games of representative basketball to be played.
The Termimesh Suns State League men and women will take on the Tamworth Thunderbolts on Saturday night, with the girls hitting the courts at 6.00pm followed by the men at 8.00pm.
The Suns teams are itching to get back on the court after cancelled games last weekend against Grafton and Port Macquarie. Both the men's and women's teams have found good form over the past few games, and with the competition well into its season, the results of the match-up on Saturday night could well determine the ...
Fans are urged to get along and support the Suns.
Adding to the weekend, Coffs Harbour will host 59 games of basketball in the Northern Junior League division 2 competition.
Teams from Tamworth, Quirindi, Armidale, Ballina, Lismore, Inverell, Bellingen, Kempsey, Taree and Grafton will join Coffs Harbour in this second round of competition.
Now that the PCYC no longer has its basketball court, games will be held at the John Paul College indoor court and Sportz Central.
As a result of this competition, there will be no school basketball competition this Saturday.
Boss Dean Austin has hailed the quality and character of Leon Barnett after the central defender agreed a new deal to stay at the Cobblers.
The 32-year-old put pen to paper on a new one-year contract on Friday morning, with an option for a further 12 months, and he will now be part of the Town squad as they prepare for the new Sky Bet League Two season.
And Austin made it clear he is delighted to have kept hold of Barnett not just for his playing ability, but also for his influence on the training ground and in the dressing room.
“Leon is staying with us and that is good news,” said Austin.
“He is a powerful central defender who has played at all levels of the game and has a number of promotions under his belt.
“He has a lot of character and as I have said before, that is important to me.
“I have been very impressed with Leon and his attitude, and we were always keen to keep him.
“Leon is an experienced player now, and not only does he put his body on the line for the cause, he is a good player for the younger players to look up to.
The news of Barnett staying at the PTS Academy Stadium is a boost for Austin, who earlier this week found out that right-back Brendan Moloney had turned down the contract offer that was offered to him last month.
Moloney, whose Cobblers deal expires on June 30, is believed to have agreed terms with a club in Sky Bet League One.

The slogan of the protesters here was "Michael Oren! Propagating murder is not an expression of free speech!" Of course, you will note that at no point in Oren's speech does he murder anybody. So, we are back to the foundational belief that free speech ought not to apply to anybody who expresses views the campus left d...
On the other hand, we don't know for sure that Michael Oren didn't kill anyone before or after his speech. And in the absence of proof that he didn't kill anyone, I think we have to assume, based on both Israeli behavior in Gaza and on the rules governing blogging, that he did.
Last time we checked in with the Great Lakes, it was in the bone-chilling depths of the Polar Vortex, and a record-breaking 88 percent of the lakes were frozen. Now, here we are, at the end of April, and the lakes are still 30 percent frozen, which could mean a colder summer for the country.
The icy lakes have already created all sorts of economical and environmental headaches for the region. Most obviously, shipping has been affected, with boats still needing to use ice breakers to access some ports. Certain birds and fish are still not able to get to the food or spawning grounds they've usually reached b...
Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna says we can do a better job to market the area.
APPLETON - How do the Fox Cities look from your corner of the world?
The view varies greatly depending on your vantage point.
Locals cherish the Fox Cities for its high quality of life. They are proud of the low crime rates and the top-level education, health care, manufacturing, parks and recreation, and arts and culture. They stand a little taller when talking about the Mile of Music festival or Broadway plays at the Fox Cities Performing A...
If you live outside the immediate area, you might see the Fox Cities primarily as a premier shopping place.
If you're unfamiliar with the Fox Cities altogether, you probably lump them in with other stereotypical images of Wisconsin: snow, farmland, cows, cheese, beer and brats, blaze-orange hunting gear, and everything Green Bay Packers.
Residents don't mind those associations, but the Fox Cities are much, much more than that.
Changing the perception of outsiders is a continual battle in the effort to recruit companies and young professionals to the Fox Cities.
"Overall, we try to package the Fox Cities as a place with a very high quality of life and a low cost of living," Manny Vasquez, vice president of economic development for the Fox Cities Regional Partnership, told USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin.
Vasquez uses data to back up the claim.
The Fox Cities have a crime rate lower than the rest of Wisconsin and the nation. They have a 90 percent high school graduation rate. Some of the health care providers rank among the nation's top 100. The median sale price of a single-family home in the Fox Cities is $150,000, below the state and national averages.
"The pitch is, 'Hey, you have access to all of the big-city amenities at a small-town cost, with the safety and the great schools and just that small-town allure that young families are looking for," Vasquez said.
The State of Opportunity series is examining how Wisconsin and its regions market themselves, from tourism campaigns and efforts to woo out-of-state businesses to attempts to attract young talent. Throughout the year, the series will consider what is great, what is a challenge and what Wisconsinites can do to tell our ...
The Fox Cities Regional Partnership markets the area under the slogan "Made Better Here." It speaks to the Fox Cities as a manufacturing hub. About 23 percent of the workforce is employed in manufacturing, compared with 9 percent nationally.
The region specializes in plastics, packaging, film and sheet manufacturing (companies like Bemis); food and beverages (Nestle, Sargento); paper products (Neenah Paper, Menasha Corp.); and machinery (Pierce Manufacturing).
Where the Fox Cities struggle, Vasquez said, is access to a quality workforce. The unemployment rate in the Fox Cities is lower than 4 percent.
"I call it a blessing and a curse," he said. "It's certainly fortunate that most people who are willing and able to work are, in fact, employed, but that just means that the labor market is that much tighter. When we are encouraging companies to invest in our community, one of the first concerns they have is access to ...
The Fox Cities Regional Partnership launched a program called Talent Upload to recruit college students from the Midwest to move to the Fox Cities to begin their careers. It targets students studying engineering, computer science and information technology.
"If you're a computer science or engineering student at Michigan Tech, you can go anywhere you want," Vasquez said. "Millennials are choosing where they want to live first, and where they want to work second."
Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna said the Fox Cities have a great story to tell but struggle to communicate that story to others. He thinks Midwest humility plays a role.
Hanna has traveled to conferences to learn how other communities solve problems, only to realize the Fox Cities often are ahead of the game.
"We're doing better than all of those experts we're talking about, so why aren't we telling our story?" he asked. "Why don't we have people on these national panels?"
Hanna said the Fox Cities have a special quality that's different from Oshkosh and different from Green Bay. The difficulty is defining that special quality and then marketing it on a broad scale.
"We can do a better job," Hanna said. "I'm not sure exactly how to go about it. It's something bigger than just Appleton or any other entity. We just have to figure out how to tackle it. If we do it right, it could be very valuable."
Pam Seidl, executive director of the Fox Cities Convention & Visitors Bureau, said an area can rely on more than one brand. Since 2005, the bureau has been marketing the Fox Cities as "Wisconsin's Shopping Place."
Tourism research, she said, shows that shopping is the primary reason people come to the Fox Cities, even if the locals tend to downplay that. The Fox River Mall in Grand Chute draws nearly 16 million shoppers annually.
In addition, downtown Appleton, downtown Neenah and destination stores like Urban Evolutions and The Harp Gallery attract customers from a wide area.
"There's the brand people would want us to be, which is that arts and culture – Mile of Music and the PAC," Seidl said, "but it's not what our tourists see. They still think of the Fox Cities as the place in Wisconsin to go for shopping."
The shopping hook helps to market the Fox Cities to convention groups and sports teams.
"We've had hockey teams say, 'We picked the Fox Cities tournament because the kids could play in the tournament and the moms wanted to come and shop,'" Seidl said. "It all works for everybody. The same thing with soccer tournaments."
Strengths: High quality of life; arts, culture and dining experiences; abundant shopping.
Weaknesses: Insufficient qualified workers to replace retiring baby boomers; distance from a large metropolitan market; absence of big, famous attractions.
Opportunities: Convince companies and young professionals that the Fox Cities are an attractive place to live, work and play.
