LEAGUE CITY, Texas—Police in League City arrested a woman Monday night accused of forcing her 10-year-old son to walk alone along the Gulf Freeway.
Officers received a report of a child walking on the shoulder of the 2100 block of the Gulf Freeway around 8:30 p.m.
Police said the boy was forced out of a vehicle by his mom and told to walk home as a form of punishment.
"The mother and child had some type of argument," said Officer Reagan Pena with the League City Police Department.
Garcia drove about 300 feet ahead of her son, according to police, but he couldn't see her vehicle because it was dark.
He walked for at least 10 minutes before a passerby saw him and called police.
Angela Graciela Garcia, 34, was later arrested and charged with abandoning/endangering a child.
"The freeway is not the place to teach your child a lesson," Officer Pena said. "A 10-year-old is in no position, in the dark, to be walking home on a major freeway."
Other drivers agreed.
"It's crazy, very dangerous, not safe at all," said Julie Truman, a League City resident. "It's not how I would handle that."
"The way things are, he could have been kidnapped, killed," said another woman who didn't want to give her name. "That's not right. You don't treat children like that. Either take care of your kids or you don't have any."
Garcia's neighbors were shocked to hear the news, saying the incident seemed out of character for her.
"I can't believe it. They are a nice family," a neighbor said. "The boys are so nice."
Garcia's bond was set at $7,500.
The League City Police Department is asking for any witnesses to contact Detective Grant at 281-338-4173.

Tuition, Fees and Other Charges for the 2011-2012 Academic Year
Tuition $375 per credit hour
Audit Fee $190 per credit hour
Refer to Tuition and Fees at www.hood.edu/admin/accounting for future pricing information.
Tuition Payment Methods
Payment of tuition, fees and other charges is due generally one week before the start of the fall and spring semesters and by the first day of class for the summer terms. Students registering after the deadline must make payment at the time of registration. Students may pay their tuition using the Monthly Payment Plan. Information on this option can be found at www.hood.edu/paymentplan or by calling the Accounting Office at (301) 696-3609. Any unpaid balance remaining after classes begin for the semester will be subject to a late fee. Account balances will prohibit the release of grade reports, transcripts and diplomas, as well as registration for future semesters. The Accounting Office can be reached at (301) 696-3607 or email@example.com
Family Tuition Plan
Please see Undergraduate Tuition and Financial Aid, Family Tuition Plan for information on the Family Tuition Plan.
Financial Aid
Information regarding student loans is available from the Office of Financial Aid, located on the third floor of the Joseph Henry Apple Academic Resource Center, and they can be reached by phone at (301) 696-3411 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. In order to be eligible for federal loans, a student must be accepted for enrollment in a degree program, take a minimum of 3 credits each semester and be making normal progress toward a degree from Hood as described below. To apply for a federal loan, a student must complete both a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Hood Graduate Financial Aid Application.
International students, although not eligible for federal loans, may apply for loan assistance from private educational loan programs if they have a credit-worthy cosigner who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Additional information can be obtained by contacting the Office of Financial Aid.
Some programs have contract funding to support graduate students. Students should inquire about this possibility with the appropriate program director.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Students are expected to maintain a record of academic achievement that will enable them to graduate in a reasonable time period. Graduate students receiving financial aid at Hood College of any type (federal, state, institutional and outside scholarships and grants) must demonstrate both qualitatively and quantitatively the ability to do satisfactory academic work and to progress measurably toward a degree. This is in addition to any renewal criteria required for specific state, institutional or other outside awards.
Federal regulations require the Financial Aid Office to monitor students' (undergraduate and graduate) academic progress at the end of each academic year. This is to ensure that students receiving funds are successfully progressing through their program of study. At the end of the spring semester of each academic year, the Financial Aid Office evaluates the academic progress of each student receiving financial aid according to the standards set forth below by the College. This evaluation determines a student's eligibility to receive financial assistance in the next academic year. In addition, at the end of both the fall and spring semesters, the registrar reviews the qualitative academic progress of all degree-seeking students to determine the eligibility for continued enrollment at Hood College.
A student's academic progress is measured using minimum cumulative grade point average (C.G.P.A.) and a maximum timeframe standard that measures the percentage of credit hours earned which is at least 67 percent of credit hours attempted. To determine the percentage, the number of credits earned is divided by the number of credits attempted. For example, a student attempts 9 credit hours for the semester; in order to meet SAP requirements, he or she must earn at least 6 credit hours (6 divided by 9).
Students are considered to be making satisfactory progress toward degree completion for financial aid purposes by adhering to the following standards in the following evaluation periods, which is at the end of the spring semester of each academic year:
The maximum time frame in which a graduate student is expected to complete their degree is 150 percent of the published length of the program measured in academic credits. Students will become ineligible for any type of financial aid if the maximum timeframe for completion is not met. For example, if a published length of a graduate academic program is 36 credit hours; the maximum period must not exceed 54 (36 × 150%) attempted credit hours.
Additional Degree / Dual Degree
The maximum time frame in which a student is expected to complete their degree is 150 percent of the published length of the program measured in academic credits for a student pursuing an additional degree or enrolled in a dual degree program.
Transfer Credits
Transfer credits and/or credits for prior learning given at the time of enrollment will be counted in the total number of credits attempted. During the course of enrollment, a student may transfer credits earned at outside institutions, however, the credits will apply only for meeting the maximum timeframe standard.
Treatment of W, INC, AU, F, S and U Grades and Repeated Coursework
Financial Aid Probation
Students are placed on financial aid probation if they do not meet one or both of the SAP standards. Students placed in this status may continue to receive financial aid but are expected to improve their academic standing (CGPA) and/or maximum timeframe progress so that the standards of SAP are met by the end of the next evaluation period, which is the end of the spring semester of each academic year.
Financial Aid Suspension
If at the end of the probationary period the student still does not meet the standards set forth in this policy, eligibility to receive financial aid of any type will be suspended. Students who fail to meet the maximum timeframe towards completion of their degree within 150 percent of their attempted credits will have their financial aid canceled.
Reinstatement of Aid after Financial Suspension
Reinstatement of financial aid after a student is placed on suspension is achieved as follows:
A student whose eligibility has been suspended may regain eligibility at the end of any term after which they meet the above criteria.Students who have been placed on suspension cannot skip a semester and regain eligibility. No financial aid will be disbursed during subsequent semesters for students on suspension.
Appeals Process
Appeals of financial aid suspension must be made in writing to the director of financial aid by the date specified in the Financial Aid Suspension notification letter.The appeal letter must address the extenuating circumstance(s) why satisfactory academic progress was not made, why the extenuating circumstance(s) has changed, as well as an outlined plan of corrective action for future academic success. Extenuating circumstances can include, but is not limited to, illness or injury; death of a family member; family difficulties; interpersonal problems with friends, roommate, significant others; difficulty balancing work, athletics, family responsibility; or financial difficulties.The director of financial aid will review the appeal and notify the student in writing within 10 working days whether the appeal has been accepted or denied. If the appeal has been accepted, the letter to the student will detail the academic plan of corrective action as well as require the approval of the student's academic adviser. All decisions made by the director of financial aid are final and will not be subject to further review.
Veterans' Educational Benefits
Hood College serves as a liaison and informational resource to veterans by providing Veterans Administration forms and certifying eligibility status, and is a Yellow Ribbon participating institution. To initiate or continue benefits, veterans must contact the Registrar's Office, (301) 696-3616, at the beginning of each semester and comply with the policies and procedures established by the registrar and the Veterans Administration. Information and application forms may be obtained from the Registrar's Office located on the second floor of the Joseph Henry Apple Academic Resource Center. All students, including veterans, are required to pay the usual fees to the College at the time of registration.
Hood College prepares students to excel in meeting the personal, professional and global challenges of the future. Hood is committed to the integration of the liberal arts, the professions and technology, to the exploration of values, a sense of community and to the preparation of students for lives of responsibility, leadership and service.

Four bridge-replacement projects are entering the survey and design phase after the Limestone County Commission approved preliminary engineering agreements Monday with Morell Engineering in Athens.
The engineering for the bridge projects totals $147,962, including only $29,592 in county funds and $118,370 in federal funds.
Morell will be paid $71,936 for preliminary work on the two bridges over Ragsdale Creek, and $38,013 for the bridge replacement on Lucas Ferry Road over Mud Creek.
The bridges over Ragsdale and Lucas Ferry roads are part of the eight projects within Limestone County announced by the state Jan. 29 as part of the Alabama Transportation and Rehabilitation Improvement Program. Deadline to apply for the next round of ATRIP funding is May 31. County Engineer Richard Sanders said the county would apply for at least seven additional projects.
Morell will also receive $38,013 to replace the bridge on Fielding Road over Coxey Creek from county and federal funds.
During Monday's meeting, the commission also accepted an agreement with the Alabama Department of Transportation to maintain signs and legends installed by ALDOT at the Ingram Road railroad crossing.
Public hearing
A public hearing on vacating portions of two county roads is scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday, May 6, during the commission's regular meeting. Shoal Creek Road from Gardner Hollow Road to the Tennessee state line, and a 2,230-foot portion of Dogwood Flats Road will be considered for vacation during the hearing after removed bridges turned both Dogwood Flats and Shoal Creek roads into dead-ends instead of through roadways.
Shoal Creek provides access to one property owner while Dogwood Flats provides access to fewer than four owners.
Other business
The commission also authorized the following items:
• A resolution with the city of Athens for the joint library project amending the initial expense budget from $250,000 up to $500,000;
• An application to apply for an ALDOT Transportation Alternative Program grant for improvements at the Limestone County Archives, and approval for Underwood & Associates to prepare plans for the grant application. The TAP grant would have a 20 percent match from the county to rehabilitate historical transportation facilities. Menefee said the project would cost about $4,500, not including the architectural plans, which the grant would not cover.
• The closing of a portion of Rails-to-Trails from Hays Mill Road to downtown Elkmont for a few hours Friday, Aug. 2, to allow participants to ride the trail in the Piney Chapel American Farm Heritage Days.
• An alteration to the Disabled American Veterans bingo permit to allow play Friday nights.
The commission will hold a work session at 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 10, at the Washington Street annex.

DWELLING PLACE OF LOVE10.18.2012 | Students, Campus and Community
Related Articles
The Caldwell Street Apartments just opened in August on the University of Dayton's campus, but senior Erica Kleinman says there's already "a buzz" about the sprawling, modern townhouse-style development.
"Caldwell is in the middle of campus. When I look out my window, I see students from China and the U.S. all doing sports together. That's what UD is about. It's about inclusivity and community, and this space facilitates that," she told trustees, faculty, staff and students during a dedication and blessing ceremony on an unseasonably warm fall day Oct. 17.
Before Father Jim Fitz, S.M., walked through the spacious courtyard to bless the apartment buildings, he led the gathering in prayer.
"Inspired by the Lord's teaching and example, let us make this new home before all else a dwelling place of love," said Fitz, vice president for mission and rector.
The $25 million housing development along six acres of Brown and Caldwell streets houses approximately 400 upperclass students, including 60 from around the globe.
"I think I speak for the whole University of Dayton community when I say we're very proud of this magnificent development," President Dan Curran said. "This is about (blurring the line between) learning and living, and we do it better every year."

Plenary Session:
America became a "suburban" nation after World War II, principally by neeting the needs of the Baby Boomers. The "American Dream" was to own a home on a large lot in the suburbs. That was then and this is now. The American dream is now plural; people want more out of their neighborhoods and communities than in the past. This presentation will review how changing demographics, economics, and financing are changing Americans' preferences for housing, neighborhoods and communities. It will also synthesize several national housing preference surveys to show that what Americans want now is very different from what they wanted just a generation ago. The presentation will show that mismatch between what Americans want and what they have, and summarize options to close the gap.

Keynote Address:
With the earliest European-settled communities on the continent, the northeast has literally centuries of infrastructure decisions forming the backbone of our cities and towns. These systems, and the communities built around them, took root before our society made decisions based on cheap, abundant, and readily available energy. We are now entering an age of energy price volatility, climate change, and global competition for resources. This presentation will demonstrate how the northeast's historic design cam form the foundation of future success, why some of the decisions made in the 20th Century threaten to throw us off track, and how our communities can work together to leverage their assets towards a new regional strategy for sustainability serving as a model for North America and the world.

EXCLUSIVE: Mark Zuckerberg's Secret IMs From College
When Mark Zuckerberg was a kid, he networked the computers in his home, and wrote a program so family members could send messages to each other.
Then came America Online, and Zuckerberg, like millions of other kids his age, joined up and claimed a screen name so he could chat with his family and friends online.
When he went to college, Zuckerberg used AOL Instant Messenger to keep in touch with friends and family.
Thanks to four years of reporting, we've been able to view and report on a number of these IMs.
Here, we've collected some of the best of them. These are illustrations of the IMs, not actual screengrabs.
They answer questions like:
- What is Mark Zuckerberg like behind closed doors?
- What was he thinking when, as Harvard sophomore, he created TheFacebook.com?
- What does he really think of Eduardo Saverin, the cofounder he kicked out of the company?
- What does he really think of the Winklevoss twins, the Harvard graduates who sued Zuckerberg?

Click a star to rate.
Our heat gun pick! This lightweight heat gun makes it easy for you to heat-emboss or speed up drying time on stamped or inked papers, metal or acrylic pieces. This must-have tool from Marvy has a retractable stand so it sits up off your work surface while it cools, a shield to cover the hot metal nozzle and a recessed off/on switch so it's safe and easy to use.
Tip: Allow heat gun to run 2-3 times, with short 2-3 second blasts before aiming it onto your project. That gives the tool time to "warm up" before you put it to use. As with all electrical appliances, be sure to unplug the tool and let it cool down before storing.

Chain Reaction: Peach Milkshake at Hardee's
Though peach season is still a ways out, Hardee's is now advertising a "Hand-Scooped" Peach Milkshake as a seasonal offering. Reasonably creamy, though not exactly thick, it's got a pronounced peach flavor that recalls canned peaches—nowhere near as good as fresh peaches, of course, but not as bad as peach syrup; at least this guy has little specks of fruit.
Skip the whipped cream on top, which has the stiff consistency and plasticine taste of Cool-Whip.

RALEIGH -- Forty-seven college students are being steeped in the workings of their counties under a new summer internship program.
The Public Service Internship Program is designed to foster a new generation of community leaders in North Carolina's rural counties.

It's a triple whammy. Most of us go from the warmth of Thanksgiving, to the exuberance of Christmas and Hanukkah, right to the excitement of New Year's – and then what? Then we face the cold hard truth of January and February – the two most barren months of the year.
You are not alone if you feel blue just anticipating next week when all the hubbub of the holidays is over. If you take Google Trends to be an indication of how we are collectively feeling, searches for the words "depression," "depressed," and "sad" spike beginning the last week in December and don't decline until April.
There are many good reasons to feel blue. Family leaves and kids go back to school. Some of us go back to work and others are left home alone. It's cold and the days are short. Bills from holiday 'over exuberance' come due both literally and figuratively, especially if we over ate or over spent.
The American Academy of Family Physicians reports that four to six of every 100 people may have winter depression, or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Another 10% to 20% may have mild SAD. Furthermore, SAD is four times more common in women than in men.
There is no real test for SAD. But the U.S. National Library of Medicine lists the following symptoms:
- Increased appetite with weight gain (weight loss is more common with other forms of depression)
- Increased sleep and daytime sleepiness (too little sleep is more common with other forms of depression)
- Less energy and ability to concentrate in the afternoon
- Loss of interest in work or other activities
- Slow, sluggish, lethargic movement
- Social withdrawal
- Unhappiness and irritability
If you are experiencing the symptoms of SAD, you should consult with a psychiatrist.
Even if you aren't experiencing SAD symptoms, just about all of us find the coming months a challenge. The holidays were uplifting for many, so it's perfectly normal to feel a sense of loss when they are over. The best thing to do is acknowledge the feelings. Take advantage of the down time this week and build strategies to deal with the months ahead. Below are some you may find useful.
1. Remember to remember what is nice about the holidays
It's wonderful being surrounded by family and friends. The holidays are a social time. Stay connected with people after the holidays. Continue to get together with friends and family on a regular basis. You may also find it helpful to visualize a positive and meaningful moment with others when you are feeling down.
2. Get outside and get whatever sun there is
We say this over and over, but experiencing nature is one of the best ways to feel better. Bundle up, get outside and get moving, even if only for ten minutes. Besides, it's a good use of that new winter coat you may have gotten.
3. Keep in mind your true values
Contributing to others and acting in accordance with your values of compassion and giving are wonderful coping skills. This is the perfect time to volunteer at a food pantry, shelter or old age home. Even just researching where to volunteer will feel uplifting, and when you complete a volunteer commitment you will feel great. You'll also be a wonderful role model for others in your life, especially your kids.
4. Clean out your closets
No kidding. The sense of accomplishment you will feel when you complete this task really does improve your mood, and it will feel even better in the morning when you can actually find what you are looking for. Plus, you can give all your old clothes to those less fortunate (See number 3).
5. Take it easy on New Year's Eve
New Year's Eve is often about over indulgence, especially if you are feeling sad and depressed. However giving in to over indulging will likely only leave you feeling worse when it's over. Although it may be unrealistic not to drink at all, be moderate in your alcohol consumption. Save the champagne for the stroke of midnight, have one glass and be done. If you are a recovering alcoholic, be sure to stay away from it completely and plan a safe social activity with other sober people.
Throughout the winter, cope ahead by engaging in positive activities, such as planning a trip, going to a museum, or listening to an upbeat song. All of those are good distractions. And remember, December 21 is the shortest day of the year. From here on out, it really does stay lighter three minutes more each day. Spring will be here before you know it.

Apples and Oranges
Apples and Oranges
Since the death of Steve Jobs, a lot has been written about him. I never met the man in person, but I admired the work Apple did in creating well-designed products.
When you have complete control over both the hardware and the software, it is a lot easier to develop a product. You limit the number of hardware controllers you support and the number of features you supply. Digital's Unix systems, on Digital's own proprietary hardware, were known to run for years without rebooting. Digital controlled the software and the hardware.
In cases like Microsoft and Linux, operating systems support many times the types of processors, peripherals, and controllers that Apple supports. In the case of Linux, many of the device drivers are not written by the people who create the hardware, which might disallow a lot of the error detection and recovery planned by the makers of the hardware.

I wrote a book!
The title is Smart and Gets Things Done: Joel Spolsky's Concise Guide to Finding the Best Technical Talent.
It is, as promised, concise. Even though it's hardback, it's about the size of a paperback romance novel, with wider margins, and about 180 pages, including some blank ones.
To pad it out, Apress hired my favorite illustrator, Terry Colon, to illustrate it. He did a fantastic job (the cover illustration at right will give you a feel for his style). His goofy, frantic, manically hilarious illustrations are reason enough to buy the book.
Here's what you get:
As you know, I write first and foremost for the web, so most of this material originated as Joel on Software articles. As usual, I did a bunch of reorganizing, reformatting, and rewriting to make it into a book-quality thing that you can read from beginning to end, and, since it's such a short book, you should be able to do that during the commercials of a typical half-hour sitcom.
It's cheap, about $13 on Amazon right now, so get your copy now before they run out.
You're reading Joel on Software, stuffed with years and years of completely raving mad articles about software development, managing software teams, designing user interfaces, running successful software companies, and rubber duckies.
I'm Joel Spolsky, co-founder of Fog Creek Software, a New York company that proves that you can treat programmers well and still be highly profitable. Programmers get private offices, free lunch, and work 40 hours a week. Customers only pay for software if they're delighted. We make Trello, easy web-based collaboration software, FogBugz, an enlightened bug tracking and software development tool, and Kiln, a distributed source control system that will blow your socks off.

Minnesota is known for a lot of things: our winters, our 'niceness,' our strong work ethic and hardworking people, and especially for our belief in fairness and opportunity for all.
As I visited Minnetonka last week for a round table discussion on the fiscal cliff it was clear once again that those values remain strong and should guide Rep. Paulsen's stance: We cannot provide additional tax breaks for the rich on the backs of the middle class.
Minnesota is a place where we have always prided ourselves on building a strong middle class. It's one of the things that my father fought for, and it is part of our strong tradition of coming together and truly understanding that we all do better, when we all do better.
But it's more than just building a strong middle class for the sake of building a strong middle class. Our state has long been a national leader with a strong economy because of our priorities: supporting education, building strong roads and bridges, preserving natural lands and the environment, building strong local communities where not only families, but also businesses want to settle down.
Our Minnesota values are strong and have made our state great for generations. Based on those values we have produced leaders of national impact; Humphrey, Mondale, and yes, Wellstone. And now we are at a crossroads.
This election was important, and the people spoke out about what they want for the future of Minnesota and for our country: fairness and progress. Now, as the fiscal cliff grows closer and closer, our Minnesota values that have brought such success to our state in the past should guide us again.
It's time for action – we need to extend the tax cuts for the middle class, and allow additional cuts for the richest two percent to expire. Two thousand dollars. That's what 2 million middle-class families stand to lose if Congress continues to fail to act. It's not Monopoly money to families in Minnesota – it will have a real impact on daily life.
$2,200 is 44 tanks of gas that get you to and from work, or the difference between having the money to fix a broken water heater in the winter, or not. For many families, it's the difference between traveling to see family over the holidays, or not; buying gifts, or not; making it, or not.
But personal finances are only half the story.
What's at stake here is not just my money, or yours, but the whole idea of America as a country that values fairness and opportunity above all, a nation where everyone gets an equal shot at success because everyone plays by the same set of rules. It's about our values, as Minnesotans and as Americans.
On the one side - we know that the nation simply can't afford to spend a trillion dollars on tax cuts for the richest two percent and also provide a level playing field for the rest of us by ensuring our children go to good schools and our infrastructure doesn't crumble beneath us.
On the other are side, there are those who claim they care about the middle class but would rather raise our taxes than ask the richest among us to pay just a little bit more.
These politicians – mostly Republicans - claim raising taxes on millionaires will hurt the economy and by extension, hurt middle class families or small businesses. History proves otherwise. Don't be fooled by Speaker Boehner's latest maneuvers; he and the Republican caucus aren't serious about tax cuts for the middle class.
It is simple; ninety-seven percent of small businesses wouldn't be impacted by allowing the additional cuts for the top two percent to expire. And we know that in order for local businesses and our economy in general to thrive, people need to have the money to buy goods and services from those locally-owned places.
It's time to start making the tough decisions that will balance the budget and allow us to fund our priorities. And in a state that values fairness and having hard work and responsibility pay off, the best option is to pass middle-class tax relief right now and allow additional cuts for the wealthiest to expire.
Minnesotans elect their leaders to bring our values to Washington, not the other way around. It's time for action -- we need fairness and progress from Congress.

We Americans have long told ourselves that we are a God-favored people, a churchgoing, moral people. But last week when the old cardinals of Roman Catholicism looked for the future of their church, they looked south. And what we Americans heard, as if for the first time, is that the spiritual center of Christianity is in the Southern Hemisphere, not with us in the north.
How could that be?

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. (AP) - One of three women who were found in Cleveland, Ohio, after disappearing a decade ago answered her Tennessee family's prayers with a phone call.
Johnny Berry's 27-year-old daughter, Amanda, called him Monday night at his home in Elizabethton and told him she loved him before they both started crying. WJHL-TV says Berry told his daughter he never lost hope he would hear from her again.
Police say Berry, 32-year-old Michelle Knight and Gina DeJesus, who is about 23, had apparently been held captive in a house south of downtown Cleveland since they were in their teens or early 20s. Three brothers were arrested. No charges have been filed.
Berry's uncle says he did not believe it at first when relatives in Cleveland, Ohio, told him his niece had been found.
Curtis Berry said in a telephone interview from his home in Elizabethton that the family had been told before that authorities might have found his niece.
Berry said that by the time the call came on Monday, 10 years after Berry's disappearance the night before her 17th birthday, he no longer believed that his niece would be found alive.
He said, "I'd lost hope."
Amanda Berry is one of three women who were rescued from a Cleveland home on Monday after they went missing separately about a decade ago, when they were in their teens or early 20s.
The women were discovered after Berry kicked a door, screamed for help and called 911.
In addition to Berry's father, her grandparents and cousins also live in Elizabethton, where Amanda Berry visited through the years.

Globe Columnist
JOPLIN, Mo. —
On the Fourth of July, I played a lot of modern country. There were explicitly holiday-appropriate tunes such as Brad Paisley's "American Saturday Night" as well as songs that spoke to the spirit of the Fourth, such as Lee Brice's "Beer."
While at a public park waiting for the fireworks to begin, I blasted them as loud as my iPhone would allow. Soon I noticed a lot of people giving me dirty looks. Apparently, I was surrounded by freedom-hating communists.
Over the years I've found that among people with strong musical preferences, no genre elicits more qualifiers than country. Rarely does anyone hate it outright. Rather, they hedge their appreciation: "I only like the old stuff;" "I like the music but can't stand that exaggerated country twang;" "I like real country, not that crap about dogs and pickups they play on the radio."
Regardless of the complaint, the one uniting factor is their distaste for modern country music.
As for me, I'm the guy still hoping Juliette Barnes, the fictional young country star played by Hayden Panettiere on the primetime soap opera "Nashville," overcomes the shame alt-country snobs have made her feel for her pop-crossover success and embraces her inner Taylor Swift.
I'm also the guy who watches "Nashville."
I understand the qualifiers though. In my wayward youth, I held similar opinions. Not that I ever really tried to listen to country music back then, but I understood implicitly that the Shania Twains of the world weren't to be trusted. That was the whole message of the outlaw movement, right?
But if Waylon, Willie and the lesser-well-known artists who inspired the outlaw movement wanted to make weirder music than the Nashville machine allowed, why do the latter-day artists hearkening back to this style of "real" country sound so safe and conservative?
In theory, I should love alt-country, Americana, roots-rock or whatever label you want to apply to artists playing a sparer, more traditional style of country music. In practice, however, I find most of it incredibly dull, despite deep affection for its influences.
I'll admit much of it sounds pretty. This is why it works so well in small doses, such as on "Nashville" or any other soundtrack overseen by alt-country eminence grise T. Bone Burnett. But over the course of an album I find the reverence and humorlessness so endemic to this genre tedious. Give me the gaudy bluster, professionalism and tight songwriting of modern country any day.
But anytime I read about a newly feted alt-country artist, I'll usually check it out. Here are the best I've listened to this year.
Jason Isbell: 'Southeastern'
I loved Jason Isbell's songwriting since hearing "Outfit," the song he wrote as a member of the Southern rock band Drive-By Truckers and the ultimate anthem for Father's Day. After his ouster from the band in 2007, caused in part by his alcoholism, Isbell released three solo albums, all of them pleasant but unexceptional.
"Southeastern," his fourth album and his first since getting sober, is a stunner. While Isbell has always been a strong lyricist, here his songs match the narrative momentum of his words, building to moments of revelation and devastation.
The chilling "Live Oak" is the best murder ballad you'll hear all year, and if there's a better song about the existential fear of drinking yourself to death in a budget motel than "Super 8," I'd like to hear it. Or maybe I wouldn't.
Phosphorescent: 'Muchacho'
This is what alt-country should sound like! "Muchacho" sounds like a world-weary troubadour fronting a cantina band, all of them on peyote.
Matthew Houck, the songwriter at the heart of Phosphorescent, has been around for awhile. In 2009, he released a tribute album to Willie Nelson aptly titled "To Willie" that I liked quite a bit, but Phosphorescent has always been the kind of band where I'd earmark a couple songs as keepers and rarely revisit the albums.
"Muchacho" is the band's most fully realized album to date. There are big arrangements -- lots of horns -- but it leaves room for quieter moments, too, such as the gorgeous, trance-inducing "Song for Zula." It's a restless, ambitious album worth exploring.
Patty Griffin: 'American Kid'
Griffin has been a staple of the Americana genre for nearly 20 years. The stripped-down tastefulness of the music on this, her seventh album, flirts with the qualities I generally find off-putting, but there's a gun-metal steeliness to Griffin that pushes the songs beyond pleasantness. She sounds battle-tested and, on the rollicking "Don't Let Me Die in Florida," like she'd tear you apart if necessary.

October 21, 1948 -- Dr. Daniel Starr of Canisius College wrote a book on the Golden Age of Buffalo sports … the post-war boom period of the late 1940's. It's difficult to argue with the central point of the book after reviewing the events of this day.
The Kensington Knights played the Bennett Tigers in a Harvard Cup football game. While the score has been mostly forgotten (26-8, Kensington), the crowd figure lives on. Somehow, 50,998 fans packed then-Civic Stadium on the corner of Jefferson and Best to witness the contest.
Remember, Buffalo did have pro football back then in the form of the Bills of the All-American Football Conference. And college football, in the form of the Little Three schools, was a national attraction as well.
So to attract 50,000 for a high school game, in a stadium that didn't come close to having that many seats, was very impressive. It still is. In fact, it's still the state record for attendance at a high school game.
Kensington went on to win the Harvard Cup, beating Riverside, 27-0, in the championship game. Coach Wilbur Bergstrom thus recorded the second of four straight Harvard Cup titles.
