For the past 11 years the school bus arrives at the bus stop 7:05 a.m. to bring our children to school.
It has not changed times or routes, so there should be no surprise that you need to be standing on the corner ready. Yet, I find myself every morning yelling, "the bus is coming, are you ready?" This was the challenge from kindergarten to junior year of high school.
Senior year, they were allowed to take their cars to school. So the screeching statement changed to "you're going to be late, leave yourself enough time and don't speed!"
Like most parents, I had to expand this statement with, "Do you have everything? Homework? Lunch? Make sure you put your seatbelt on and text me when you get there."
Yet, I found myself driving to school with the same lunch/homework that I asked if she had with her. We had the "one oops clause" which meant one time I would drive to school with said item and after that one time, she was on your own.
I find myself in a position, with what I call empty-morning-syndrome.
My daughter is off to college and my routine of supervising and guiding her out the door is done.
There will be no more sitting by the window looking for the school bus or waiting for the one word text message "here" announcing her arrival at high school.
Maybe I should put an advertisement in our local paper, screeching mother willing to record motivational messages to get your child out the door and to the bus stop on time. Eleven years experience and have mastered that high pitch voice that is needed to be annoying yet effective.
The unfamiliar empty house and the quiet cup of coffee in the morning is a welcome change. Maybe it is my turn to be that woman who sits on the porch and waves to all the kids on the bus as it passes my house. If you see me out there, smile and wave.
The empty-morning-syndrome sneaks up on you fast and one day you may experience it too.

Mineral Wells Index
By TONY EIERDAM
A little more than two weeks ago in a loss at Springtown, the Mineral Wells Lady Rams had problems handling the Lady Porcupines' strong defense and physical play.
Friday night in the rematch of this District 6-3A rivalry at the MWHS gym, Springtown showed why it should be considered a team that could make a deep playoff run as it handled the Lady Rams, 54-42, to clinch the second seed in the league.
The loss drops the Lady Rams to 22-8 overall and 6-3 in district play.
In the first loss, MWHS leading scorer and rebounder, post Sydney Shelstead, got into early foul trouble and missed most of the third quarter and part of the fourth.
Although the 6-1 senior fouled out of the game late in the fourth period on Friday, when she was forced to sit Springtown did not really take off like it did in the last meeting.
What hurt the Lady Rams was an inability to balance its scoring.
Springtown led 25-18 at the half, and 16 of the Lady Rams' 18 points came from Shelstead, who finished with 20 points and 13 rebounds.
Springtown's Brooklyn Dauenhauer led all scorers with 26 points.
"I think their defense rattled us," Lady Rams head coach Ed Shelstead said. "We shot ourselves in the foot. (Senior wing) Niya (Benavides) did not have her stroke, but she still helped us with a lot of other things. She blocked out well.
"But we didn't have any balance in scoring in the first half. My message to the team at the half was to take it one possession at a time, and we can't have any more 'freak out' turnovers.
"But we had too many turnovers. We didn't take care of the ball the way we should have.
"I thought we had some people on the perimeter who were real tentative in the first half, and I think they were looking for Sydney and Niya to do it all.
"We have a lot of inexperience out there – we started three girls who had not had any varsity experience until this year – and we just got a little tentative. We did not execute smoothly on offense at all, and you have to give Springtown credit, they play a style of basketball that hurts us. They are physical and strong."
The Lady Rams began the scoring on a three-pointer by Sydney Shelstead, and she scored on consecutive layups off feeds by freshman point guard Natalie Ragland for a 9-7 lead. The game was tied, 9-9, after the first quarter, but all nine points were scored by Shelstead.
Shelstead scored the Lady Rams' first four points of the second quarter, but that was offset by nine points by Dauenhauer – including a three – as Springtown led 20-12.
Springtown maintained an eight-point advantage, 22-14, after sophomore Kennedy Shelstead hit a pair of free throws.
But unfortunately for the Lady Rams, no one not named Shelstead scored in the half as the Lady Porcupines took a seven-point lead into the locker room at the break.
Benavides found her stroke in the third period, and her shooting kept the Lady Rams in the game.
Benavides canned a three-pointer from the right perimeter and followed with a layup off a pass form Sydney Shelstead, and Ragland canned one of two charity shots as MWHS cut the SHS lead to 33-26 with just under four minutes remaining in the third quarter.
However, Sydney Shelstead picked up her third foul with 3:43 left in the third. She remained in the game, but 22 seconds later picked up another foul – the call much to the dislike of the MWHS fans – and was forced to sit for the rest of the period.
With Sydney Shelstead on the bench, Springtown outscored the Lady Rams 7-4 to take a 41-32 lead into the fourth quarter.
The Lady Porcupines increased their lead to 48-34, but with Sydney Shelstead back in the contest MWHS made one last quick run.
Kennedy Shelstead nailed a pair from the charity stripe, and Sydney Shelstead scored on a driving layup.
Benavides then drew a foul and hit both free throws to cut the visitors' lead to 48-40 with 3:45 left to play.
However, MWHS did not hit another shot from the field for the remainder of the game as Springtown hung on for a 12-point win to clinch second place.
Ed Shelstead said having his senior post out of the game limited offensive options.
"I thought we looked fresh throughout the game, we didn't look tired," he said "I definitely ran a short bench (Friday), and what it does when Sydney gets in foul trouble is it limits our options.
"Sydney is our horse, and when she is not in there we have to do things we are necessarily used to.
"However, Springtown did not make a huge run when Sydney was out, and we missed a layup that would have cut the lead (in the third quarter) to five.
"Springtown went on another run (in the fourth quarter) and we just ran out of time.
"But all is not lost. We will advance to the playoffs as the third seed and start over again."
MWHS – Sydney Shelstead 22, Niya Benavides 9, Kennedy Shelstead 6, Bethany Allen 2, Courtney Peña 2, Natalie Ragland 1.

Obama the Pragmatist
"What most people don't understand is that Hillary is the idealist and Obama is the pragmatist."
"Change" and "the economy" were the driving forces in last week's Super-Duper Tuesday primaries, at least according to the exit polls. Since they represent the out-of-power party, what kind of change might Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama bring to the American economy if either was elected the 44th president of the United States? Here is what one successful and high-profile political consultant—one who has worked for both Democrats and Republicans—told me recently: "What most people don't understand is that Hillary is the idealist and Obama is the pragmatist."
It's an assessment that will surely surprise many people. Clinton, after all, is the "experience" candidate with five- and 10-point plans on pretty much every possible policy topic, including housing, healthcare, and technological innovation. And critics will point to her Iraq war vote in 2002 as the ultimate pragmatic political move. Obama, on the other hand, is more noted for soaring speeches about hope and unity than for Washington wonkery. He was also rated the most liberal U.S. senator in 2007 by National Journal. Yet this veteran politico was sure that if elected, Clinton would be the one, for instance, to push hard for a government-run, European-style healthcare system that would go far beyond what either she or Obama has suggested so far.
Centrist brain trust. Now I have no idea if Clinton has some secret, liberalism-on-steroids policy agenda that she will suddenly spring on America if elected. Obama, though, is a plausible pragmatist. His domestic policy advisers are hardly a radical bunch. One economic adviser, Jeffrey Liebman of Harvard, has coauthored an interesting compromise plan on Social Security that would raise taxes a bit, extend the retirement age a bit, and put a bit of money into personal retirement accounts.
Or look at Obama's tax plan. In addition to new middle-class tax credits, it has a technocratic reform proposal that would make filing many tax returns easier by letting the Internal Revenue Service fill them out in advance. And the economist who devised the plan, the University of Chicago's Austan Goolsbee, is no class warrior on taxes or China basher on trade. Don't forget, too, that in his book The Audacity of Hope, Obama himself found a few kind words for President Reagan's 1981 tax cuts, which slashed the top marginal rate to 50 percent from 70 percent, saying that the old sky-high rate did "distort investment decisions." Sounds pretty pragmatic.
Don't look to Wall Street for much insight here—at least not yet. With the economy weakening, investors have been fixated on economic reports and Fed meetings rather than on caucuses and primaries and policy papers. "The market has just not been paying attention," says market strategist Jeffrey Kleintop of LPL Financial Services. Though it should, he advises: "Washington could be moving from gridlock to unlock. If we get a Democratic president with near-filibusterproof majorities, there is the potential for sweeping change."
That's all bad news if you buy the classic investing axiom that "gridlock is good." Or maybe Wall Street doesn't see it that way these days. Maybe it doesn't care that "change" means capital-gains-tax rates could double in the next administration.
But don't bet on it. If the odds of a total Democratic blowout rise, says political analyst Daniel Clifton of Strategas Research, "the investment implication will be significant" and translate into "real risk." He advises keeping an eye on the managed healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors in particular as bellwethers. They may give better insight than any poll into what will happen on Election Day in November.

Free Press Staff Writer
MANKATO — With the Boy Scouts of America seemingly about to drop its long-standing ban on gays as Scouts and leaders, scouting groups are pondering potential ramifications at the local level.
"As a sponsoring organization (of Scouts), we wouldn't have a problem with it because everything is kind of moving that way," said Lee Overmoen, longtime administrator of the Mankato Moose Lodge until his recent retirement.
"Things have really changed in the last few years with the whole gay issue, and rightfully so."
As recently as last summer the national Boy Scout organization was reaffirming its stance against avowed homosexuals serving in scouting, its leader saying the policy "remains in the best interests of scouting and reflects the beliefs of its members."
But on Monday Scout officials suggested that an about-face decision could be forthcoming, saying the organization's National Executive Board will meet to reconsider its membership policy.
Paul Wilkinson, head of the Mankato-based Twin Valley Council serving scouts in 15 southern Minnesota counties, said he was a bit taken aback by the announcement.
"This one caught me a little off guard."
Although other Scout councils — including the state's largest, Northern Star Council — have gone against national policy for years, Wilkinson has said in the past that the local council follows national policy and doesn't try to create its own.
He said Tuesday that will continue to be the case because the anticipated lifting of the national organization's ban on gays would mean that the decision to ban or not to ban would fall upon the local civic and religious groups that sponsor Scout troops.
Wilkinson said such autonomy doesn't guarantee smooth sailing on the matter because gay issues continue to be societal powder kegs.
"It's kind of a lose-lose for the Boy Scouts because you've got the far left and the far right and everything in between."
Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, said in a prepared statement this week that the national Scout board appears to be caving in to "the bullying of homosexual activists."
Countering that was Iowan Zach Wahls, a former Eagle Scout, founder of Scouts for Equality and the son of lesbian parents, who called the board's softening of its position a step in the right direction, but not a big enough one.
"Under the policy change, it will still be possible for some (local) units to discriminate," he told media.
The Boy Scouts National Executive Board meets next week in Texas. Its head, Wayne Brock, said in a media statement that the Boy Scouts will not dictate its position to local units, members or parents.
"Under the proposed policy, the BSA would not require any chartered organization to act in ways inconsistent with that organization's mission, principles or religious beliefs."
Wilkinson said a dozen or more entities sponsor Scout troops in Mankato/North Mankato alone.
Overmoen said it's too early to tell how the Moose would respond to such a policy change if the troop it sponsors continued to prohibit gays from membership.
But he has a gut feeling about what would happen:
"If our Troop 95 said no to gays, we could consider not sponsoring it anymore."
Wilkinson has said that, to date, there has been no organizational discussion pertaining to the topic of homosexuality within the Twin Valley Council.
"It's never been an issue here. We try not to get into social issues of any kind."
He said if a youth came to him and divulged that he's gay, he'd urge him to discuss the matter with his parents.
"We don't discuss the sexuality of children. Would we kick him out of Scouts if he were gay? No."
In 2000, the Supreme Court affirmed the Boy Scouts' right to refuse gay members.
Since then, protestations against the Scouts' policy have increased with some large corporations ceasing their donations to the Scouts as long as the no-gays policy is in place.
Also, some members of the BSA National Executive Board have been working from within to change the membership policy.
The Greater Mankato United Way provides $82,500 annually to Scout groups in Blue Earth, Nicollet and Le Sueur counties.
United Way President Laura Bowman said funding is contingent upon enabling all youths to participate, including gays.

Hey guys! Haven't posted in these forums in forever! I figured I'd give you guys a look at some of the stuff I've subbed recently. Hope you like em...
8Comments Post a comment
MLAllegro72 weeks agoI absolutely love the Drive, Sewer Pipe, and Futurama ones.
The Drive one would be Instabuy for me.
razubi72 weeks agoI think the Gizmo one is a good idea but still needs work. Maybe more elements. Basic background or more characters.
I like the TMNT one but it's very close to the real thing.
I think the Futurama one is fine as is.
RiteGuyShirt72 weeks agoOk to be honest these would all be passes for me, that being said they're fantastically done! I'd think about nibbler I love Futurama but Galactis and marvel not so much...
I think razubi is right about gizmo just seems to be missing something like his name is disney font or something like that for the whole mickey effect.
Regular Show... eh I just hate that show show I won't critique it lol.
Mario Bill Murray life Aquatica very well done. good referenes blended nicely.
The middle two are probably the most "artsy" Drive was a tolerable movie but I like that it reminded me of Vice City. I like the siloette style and the colors pop I don't know what color shirt it should be on but if printed I'd almost like to see something slightly obnoxious for a full 80's effect I'd totaly buy it then(but that's probably not most people's opinions how many comments are about shirt colors?)
Where the sewer pipe ends is very solid didn't quite catch that it was TMNT at first though now it's obvious apparently I didn't look very closely.
beware198472 weeks agoThanks for all the critiques and advice guys I will take them to heart moving forward!
aflagg72 weeks agoThe Mario design was printed before, yes? I recall seeing it on another site. I really love that one.
beware198472 weeks agoNope it hasn't been printed yet. Where the Sewer Pipe Ends and Regular Bros were printed elsewhere, but only after TF had passed on them. The rest have yet to be printed anywhere.
MLAllegro72 weeks ago! I have to find Where the Sewer Pipe Ends.
darth_board72 weeks agoNice. I like the GisMickey and Nibblactus designs.
I don't care about TLA, but the Mario piece is pretty cool too.

The statistics on overdoses among college-age Americans are downright sobering.
From 1999 to 2008, the rate of hospitalizations following overdose skyrocketed for people ages 18 to 24, according to a study published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs.
The study's authors also found that, although most college students recognize the signs of excessive alcohol consumption, only a fraction seek medical help for someone who has had too much to drink.
Without medical help, alcohol overdoses can be fatal. The news is full of tragic stories of preventable deaths — young people who had too much to drink and were left by their friends to "sleep it off," only to never wake up.
That's why we were glad to see SUNY Oneonta taking steps to encourage students to report medical emergencies related to drugs and alcohol.
The College Council recently adopted a "Good Samaritan/Medical Amnesty Policy." Under the policy, students can report an incident of alcohol or drug abuse without facing penalties from the college.
This is a one-time, "get-out-of-jail-free card" that each student would theoretically get. But it isn't just handed out freely. Students have to earn their "amnesty" by completing some follow-up work aimed at helping the college determine if there is a larger problem present.
Critics of "Good Samaritan" policies argue that offering amnesty gives tacit approval to drug use or binge drinking by removing the penalties associated with those behaviors. But this is an oversimplification of a more-subtle tool.
It's important to note that students who are caught drinking or using drugs still face the same repercussions as ever. And the college's policy does not protect students from any criminal charges they might face for underage drinking or illegal drug use.
What this does say, in essence, is, "If you or your friend has overdosed, and you need life-saving medical help, you can get it without being afraid of getting kicked out of school."

Fans are happy to see the Sabres getting bigger by developing players such as Zack Kassian and Brayden McNabb to the organization and they signed another one to a deal Monday night by giving 6-foot-8 Rochester Amerks defenseman Joe Finley an multi-year NHL contract. Finley was on a one-year AHL deal after making the Amerks lineup via a training camp tryout.
The Sheehy Hockey agency tweeted the deal earlier today and the Sabres confirmed it around 9:50 Monday night. It's a three-year deal believed to hold the NHL minimum salary of $525,000 per season if Finley is in Buffalo.
A former No. 1 draft pick of the Washington Capitals, the 24-year-old Finley has been dogged by injuries in his first two pro seasons but has become a revelation in Rochester. He has one goal, one assist, 57 penalty minutes and a team-high plus-10 rating in 18 games and has pushed his way onto Rochester's shutdown pairing with veteran and former Sabre Shaone Morrisonn.

Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh believes that running back Ray Rice will be back with the team despite his arrest for simple assault. Rice and his fiancee, Janay Palmer, were arrested last Saturday in Atlantic City, N.J. According to SI.com, police have video of Rice knocking her unconscious. The website TMZ also posted footage of Rice lifting a limp Palmer out of an elevator and placing her on the floor at a casino. "The facts will determine the consequences, always," Harbaugh said Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine. "That's always the case, right? It's a process. We have to see how it goes." But Harbaugh does not foresee it going as far as Rice losing his job with the Ravens next season. "I haven't seen anything that would remotely make me think that," he said. Harbaugh said he discussed the incident with Rice on Monday and expects the Pro Bowl running back to participate in the Ravens' voluntary workouts. "Ray and I are real close," Harbaugh said. "We have been for a long time, so it's an easy conversation to have. I love Janay. She's a great person. "The two people obviously have a couple issues that they have to work through, and they're both committed to doing that. That was the main takeaway for me from the conversation. They understand their own issues. They're getting a lot of counseling and those kinds of things, so I think that's really positive. That was the main takeaway." A Tuesday court date was postponed to allow prosecutors to review the case. Rice also faces the possibility of punishment from the NFL. "There are a lot of facts and a process that has to be worked through in anything like this," Harbaugh said. "There are a lot of question marks. But Ray's character, you guys know his character. So you start with that." Rice had the worst season of his six-year pro career in 2013, rushing for 660 yards and four touchdowns on 214 carries, after four straight seasons with more than 1,110 yards on the ground.

For most of his baseball career, Trent Daniel hasnt been more than a few hours from his home in Bryant, Ark.
The 6-foot-1 left-hander was a two-time all-state starting pitcher at Bryant High School and a top starter at Arkansas-Fort Smith University in 2010 before becoming a tried-and-true long reliever at the University of Arkansas through last spring.
But after being selected by the Colorado Rockies in the 17th round of the 2013 MLB First-Year Player Draft, Daniel has definitely found his comfort zone on the pitching mound at Gesa Stadium, more than 2,000 miles away from Bryant.
Through his first 16 appearances as a closer with the Tri-City Dust Devils, Bryant has yet to give up his first run as a professional. He leads the Northwest League with 13 saves, and of the 68 NWL batters he has faced, only five have managed to get a hit against him.
He hit the ground running pretty well. One of the things hes done is even when he doesnt have his best stuff, he still goes out and competes. Thats a necessity, Tri-City manager Drew Saylor said. When a guy comes out on the back end into a one-run ballgame, basically the whole entire team is relying on him to go after guys. It takes a special kind of person to do that.
Daniel has relied on a low-90s fastball and a nasty slider to finish games (hes developing his changeup, too), but it has been what Saylor calls a bulldog mentality that helps him thrive as a closer.
It comes with experience, I think. I switched to the bullpen in college, so its something I acquired, said Daniel, who went 4-1 with six saves and a 3.51 ERA in 100 innings in three years with the Razorbacks. Coming in with traffic on the bases, you have to be ready to attack hitters.
But even Daniel didnt quite expect the success hes had so far, including a spot in the NWLs first All-Star game since 2004.
(The stats) are not a big deal to me. I really just want to get the job done however it has to get done, he said. If I give up a run, then I do. Its going to happen in baseball. I know that. I dont focus on that. I just want to get the job done and get the win for the team.
He did that in spectacular fashion on July 20, in a 2-0 home win over Salem-Keizer, as he combined with Sam Moll, Shane Broyles and Jerad McCrummen for the second no-hitter in franchise history.
He walked the Volcanoes No. 2 hitter, Brandon Bednar, with one out and went 3-2 to Jeremy Sy before striking him out. Then he got the last batter, Brian Ragira, to swing at a slider in the dirt.
Tri-City catcher Chris ODowd stayed with the ball and tagged Ragira out before rushing out to the mound to celebrate with Daniel.
Its an amazing experience any time you get a chance to do something like that, Daniel said. We talked about it with the guys, but pretty much the next day it was over with. We had to focus on the next game.
What made the experience even more memorable was having his mother and father, Kathy and Tom Daniel, in the stands.
In all the years Ive watched baseball, Ive never been a witness to (a no-hitter), said Kathy, whose uncle is former Chicago Cubs All-Star shortstop Don Kessinger. Before Trent was ready to go in, my husband said, There sure are a lot of zeros up there on the scoreboard.
I know you arent supposed to talk about it, so we got so crazy with every pitch he threw, she said. We beam with pride but are scared to death every time hes out there.
His dad expressed some regret about having to fly back to Bryant before the NWL All-Star Game, which was three weeks later in Everett.
If wed known, we would have been up there (on Aug. 6), Tom said.
Mostly, his family including younger brother Hayden is just happy Trent is living his dream of playing pro ball.
So is the rest of the 13,000-person community of Bryant.
Were not a huge town, so everybody asks about him. They want us to post on Facebook, his mom said. Every parent believes their kid is destined to shine. We told Trent, God has given you a talent, and you are very blessed. Now its up to you to do something with it.
Daniel admits to being a fan of former Atlanta Braves closer John Rocker, a southpaw whose talent was often overshadowed by his mouth, but doesnt necessarily want to follow his example.
He was crazy to watch out of the bullpen, but I cant really say I want to be like him, Daniel said. I really like Cliff Lee, who is from my home town. Hes not flashy but he goes in and gets the job done.
I like to carry myself like that.
So far, so good.

Earlier this week we told you about C'est La Vie Baking (see related story below), which was broken into on Monday, and today was their grand opening.
The burglary didn't stop the entrepreneurial spirits of Eric Lowe and Taylor Becken, the owners of the bakery. At least 80 people showed up with canned food in hand, a request by the two owners to benefit the food bank. Lowe said the burglary was an eye opener but after taking to social media, the help and community support came pouring in.
The Alamo Golden Ale's motto is "Brewed with a fiercely independent spirit," and that's what it took, almost literally, for Eugene Simor to see the groundbreaking on his near-Eastside brewery.
The location is symbolic. Alamo Golden Ale, along with German lagers and seasonal selections, will be brewed about 12 minutes from the site of the sacred grounds of the Alamo.
"For the last 10 years I've brewed just one single product, which is Alamo Golden Ale," Simor said. "So considering that I just have one beer, we've actually done pretty good with our sales."
Texas Matters: While Gov. Rick Perry has continued his hard line on Medicaid expansion under the ACA, a new study finds that Texas taxpayers will end up paying billions for the other states that do. Never fear, it is now totally fine to say "Merry Christmas" in Texas public schools. Also on this show: Amy Tan talks about the inspiration behind her new book, "The Valley of Amazement."
Texas paying for other state's Medicaid expansion
Following an investigation by the Texas Public Integrity Unit, a Travis County grand jury has indicted former CPRIT Chief Commercialization Officer Jerald Cobbs with securing a document by deception.
Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, whose office oversees the public integrity unit, said the charges stem from an $11 million grant awarded to a company now known as Peloton, a grant that Cobbs executed without telling anyone.
Fronteras: After Arizona's immigration enforcement law strained that state's relations with Mexico, things seem to be getting friendlier. Why Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto spent the day in a tiny border town. The high cost of liquor licenses in New Mexico. Finally, the USDA's ban on its inspectors entering Mexico at border crossings to inspect cattle has crippled an important part of the border economy.
About 75,000 new cases of lymphoma are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, and many are fatal, but a local researcher is entering the final year of study on a project that he hopes will greatly improve lymphoma survival rates.
For four years, Dr. Ricardo Aguiar at UT Health Science Center's School of Medicine has been working under a grant from the Voelcker Fund to develop lymphoma treatments that are more effective and less toxic.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Pauken has announced he is dropping out of the 2014 governor's race.
In letter sent to donors, the former Texas GOP Chairman Tom Pauken writes:
"The filing deadline is only days away, and I needed to be realistic about our prospects."
"The filing deadline is only days away, and I needed to be realistic about our prospects."
The announcement doesn't come as a surprise to professor Jim Henson, who heads up the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas at Austin.
A group of civil rights and social justice groups are calling on the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officers to ban school resource officers from being allowed to use stun guns and pepper spray against students.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas is one of the groups pushing to ban school police officers from using such practices, what the commission calls less-than-lethal tactics.
The plea comes after a high school student at Bastrop ISD's Cedar Creek campus was "Tased" as he allegedly was trying to break up a fight between two other students.
Every year, radio stations are deluged with new Christmas albums, and Texas Public Radio is no different. This year, I came across one that made its way to the top of my listening stack. The Canadian group Ensemble Polaris boasts diverse instrumentation, including guitar, banjo, mandolin, bagpipe, musical saw, recorders and winds.
A hard-hitting multi-Tony award winning musical is coming to the Majestic Theatre. "American Idiot," the highly-acclaimed musical that was borne out of the seminal Grammy Award-winning Green Day album of the same name, is coming December 13-14.
"'American Idiot' is about three disaffected teens growing up in a place called Jingletown, USA," said Dan Tracy, who plays Tunny in the production. "They're all trying to find their way to a better life and each of them gets lost in their own way."

Red Dwarf – US Pilot – Component 1
A pilot episode for an American version (identified as Red Dwarf USA) was produced by way of Universal Studios with the intention of broadcasting on NBC in 1992.The show basically followed the same story as very first episode of the original series, making use of American actors for most of the primary roles: Craig Bierko as Lister, Chris Eigeman as Rimmer, and Hinton Battle as Cat. Exceptions to this had been Llewellyn, who reprised his role as Kryten, and the British actress Jane Leeves who played Holly. It was written by Linwood Boomer and directed by Jeffrey Melman with Grant and Naylor onboard as creators and executive producers. Throughout filming of the pilot the audience reaction was very good and it was felt that the story had been nicely received. The studio executives had been not entirely pleased with the pilot, specifically the casting, but decided to give the project an additional opportunity with Grant and Naylor in charge. The intention was to shoot a 'promo video' for the show in a small studio described by the writers as 'a garage'.New cast members had been hired for the roles of Cat (re-named Woo-fen) and Rimmer Terry Farrell and Anthony Fuscle respectively. With a modest spending budget and deadline, new scenes had been rapidly shot and mixed in with existing footage of the pilot and UK series V episodes. In spite of the re-shoots and re-casting, the option on the pilot was not picked up. (Farrell was cast virtually immediately afterwards for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.) As a result, the US pilot exists and has been heavily …

The Tonawanda News
Jane L. Selover (nee Schmidt), age 91, of North Tonawanda, October 15, 2012. Born in Buffalo, Jane had been a resident of North Tonawanda most of her life. She worked at a local aircraft plant as a "Rosie the Riveter" during WWII and settled into life as a mother and homemaker at the end of the war. After her husband Edward's death, she worked at Ames Department Store and then at the Sugar Kake Cookie Factory in Tonawanda. Upon her retirement, she began volunteering as a foster grandmother with the Niagara County BOCES Head Start Program, working with pre-school children in the North Tonawanda schools. It was Jane's volunteer work as a foster grandmother that she most thoroughly enjoyed and remembered fondly for the rest of her life. She was a member of Our Lady of Czestochowa R.C. Church and the former St. Joseph's R.C. Church. She also enjoyed bowling and ceramics.

Columbia Riverfront RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Very nice campground, big rig friendly. Located on the Columbia River with a very nice grass and beach area. Camp site was plenty big enough for our Beaver motor coach. I will definitely stay here again when in the area.
Surrey, British Columbia
Peace Arch RV park
[ 7/10 ]
Not a bad place to stay but just a warning if you are in an RV 40 ft. or longer. Entering and exiting on the main road are pretty tight especially if your towing a car. Park itself was nice for an older park. Our rig is 40 ft. and we were towing. When checking in we were given a spot to the rear of the office. I asked if I needed to disconnect the car and was told, "No, should be fine." Well we barely got the RV around a corner we had to negotiate, and that was after I went ahead had disconnected the car. We had a crowd as we tried to make that corner with a tree right there on the edge of it. We ended up putting some pretty bad scratch's in the paint from the tree branchs. If we would have been placed in one of the pull through sites beside the office this would not have happened, they did have spots available there. I did return to the office and let the lady know I would not send anymore 40 ft. RV's to those sites. So, you might want to do a pre-check on the site they put you in. We will probably stay here again, just not in those back of office sites.
Red Bluff, California
Durango RV Resort
[ 10/10 ]
One of our favorite places to stay when traveling through Red Bluff. This park is beautiful and staff is very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this park when your in the area. I don't think you will be disappointed. We stayed here in a 40 ft. Beaver RV with a tow car and had plenty of room to maneuver.
Eugene, Oregon

[ 9/10 ]
My wife and I have stayed here several times and never had a bad experience. The only negative we ever had was when we choose a site next to the pond. The geese like to leave presents for you to step in so you have to watch you step. Other than that it's always been a good place to hang out while seeing the sights in the area. Yes, it's close to the freeway, but honestly the road noise was never an issue with us. Easy to maneuver our 40 ft. Beaver in and out of and a very friendly staff. We will definitely stay here again when in the area.

Our second time to stay at this park. Very nice park and people. Shuttle service comes to park for trips to Disneyland and back. Will definitely stay here again if were in the area.
Pismo Beach, California
Pismo Coast Village RV Resort
[ 10/10 ]
This is a great RV Park. We stayed a week and really enjoyed our time here. Staff is very friendly and helpful and facilities are nice and clean. Very close to good shopping and dining. We will definitely stay here again when in this area.

We spent one night here on our way to Arkansas. It was a nice, quiet park with good sites available. The owners were very nice people. I actually left an expensive camera ($800.00) on the pick nick table at our camp site. The owners looked up my cell phone number and alerted me to this very soon after we left the park. That says a lot to me about the character of these people. I would definitely stay here again.

Its atmosphere is refined and elegant, its décor defined by amaranth and brown-grey with touches of black and white in the exquisite inlaid flooring of prestige marble. This classic style, with its decidedly contemporary feel, is also found in the Hotel's restaurant, The Dome, which offers a creative array of traditional Italian cuisine. Refinement modulated by personal detailing is also the style of the Hotel's 179 rooms, many of which look out on the dome of St. Peter's. Soft colours and lines produce a sense of deep relaxation, with famous views of Rome on the walls framing the leather bedheads. Give yourself a Roman holiday at the Starhotels Michelangelo and discover the timeless allure of the eternal city.

Stevie Johnson would love to be the John Calipari of Buffalo.
Johnson claimed he has been trying his best to woo some star free agents to the Buffalo Bills.
Dwayne Bowe? Greg Jennings? Dashon Goldson?
If Johnson can help the Bills land one of them, then he'd become even more of a fan favorite.
"I've talked to a few guys, trying to get them to come to Buffalo," Johnson told me this afternoon.
Goldson apparently hasn't been fazed by fellow San Francisco 49ers safety Donte Whitner's comments about the Bills organization.
Goldson was an All-Pro free safety for San Francisco last season. He plays the same position as Jairus Byrd, but new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine didn't designate free and strong safeties with the New York Jets.
Johnson, a San Francisco native, said he spoke with Goldson on Thursday.
"I just asked him, 'Who would you want to go to?' Out of his lips, he was talking about Buffalo a lot," Johnson said. "I'm, like, 'Man!'
"Hopefully, we give him an offer."
Johnson also knows how another receiving threat such as Bowe or Jennings can impact the Bills' offense. The Bills were in need of help before they informed David Nelson and Donald Jones they wouldn't be re-signed.
"Who knows what's going to happen with Dwayne Bowe or Greg Jennings?" Johnson said, "But here's hoping they come through.
"I'm trying, man. I feel like we're close, and these fans deserve it. It's been a long time. It's a cycle in this league. We were up for a long time. Then we were down. Now I feel like it's coming around. We have some pieces to make it happen."

I am trying to make sense of all the various sub-genre descriptions of music within the broad Country genre. No Depression appears to believe that Americana and Alt-Country are interchangeable. But where does Country-Rock sit and then what about Alt-Country Rock. AMG says that Americana has different roots from Country-Rock, and doesn't seem to have a category of Alt Country-rock. Personally I believe that Americana is a much broader genre, currently on a par with Country as a major category, and one that includes all the sub-genres including Alt-Country, Country-Rock, and Alt Country-Rock, as well as several others. However I am open to other suggestions.
If anyone can respond I would be very grateful
Tony Simmonds
[I have written a doctoral thesis based on Country-Rock and I am now trying to plan a book on Americana]
Views: 870
I tend to agree. I think in most cases there isn't really a difference between Americana and Country-Rock, and most people who try to create one are just being contrarians.
Also, I'd love to read your thesis, by the way.
With the greatest respect - i don't care.
Put a record or a CD or an MP3 on. It you like it, great. End of story.
I would add a bit of a muted +1 to this. Obviously, distinctions in types of music exist. How aggressively these distinctions are defended should be at most in proportion to the difference being distinguished.
Thanks to all of you so far.
I realise that to many people, making theoretical distinctions like this is a bit unnecessary, and serves no purpose. However, there are two reasons why I am pursuing this. One is that it is natural follow-up to my thesis, and I am trying to turn the academic theory into a book for general publication. The second reason is that Americana seems to be such a huge and ill-defined topic, that I wanted to see if there were any limits to it. I have a huge collection of music which I used to think was Country-rock [and I include Drive-By Truckers, Uncle Tupelo, The Blasters, as well as older stuff like the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and the Flying Burrito Brothers etc in this]
Now these bands are categorised as Americana. You may say... so what's the problem. Personally I like to explore these things. I would be happy to send some oof my writing to anyone [including Jesse] if you would like to read it and add your comments.
Unfortunately, blogs, radio, digital distributors all seem to care. Maybe not about these fine distinctions but putting releases into a category. It is helpful if you are seeking out new music; we have sold CDs/downloads to people who periodically scan the Bandcamp or CD Baby Alt Country/Americana new releases pages seeking out undiscovered music in these categories. Seems most use the terms interchangeably (especially Americana and Alt Country) so as to distinguish from commercial country.
Just one note in reply. Commercial country used to be... country. All was good. When it strayed too far, as it often did, a Kris or Merle or Waylon, etc., would could along and set it right again. Now that there's a place where those kind of folks can find a home, that pressure is taken off Nashville, and imo, a new kind of anti-country pressure is put on these emerging artists as "Americana" becomes less and less country. Etc.
come along that is
I tend to think of the modern definition of Americana being more influenced by indie-rock and rock (Lumineers), and Alt-Country more on the Country side (Drive-By-Truckers). Indie-Rock and Folk-Grass -> Americana -> Alt-Country -> Country
I once heard it described as "a broad category of music, that is much like the folk genre, characterized by songs written with deeper meanings and messages, but performed with the inclusion of more electric instruments."
I liked that description, as it gives an impression of what the music should be without walls. I also see it, like many of you, with sub-genres below it....
Oh God no. Not again. But feel free to join my private but open little group The "Americana Is Not Country" Group.
I also would love to read your thesis. Believe it or not, I do take this seriously. In general, I find the term Americana to be completely meaningless, in general a form of music derived from what we used to call folk and which tries to incorporate, well, everything, and thereby creates to me another flavor of MOR. Alt Country was a valiant attempt to save country when it was becoming, well, not country (NashVegas). It never worked. Gram Parsons disliked the term Country Rock, but it's probably the best, unless you want to go with his tongue-in-cheek Cosmic American Music (which many do). Alt Country Rock? God help us. Outlaw, etc. etc. I like the almost extinct genre called country music, for which the little group mentioned above is dedicated.
I believe it is a necessary evil to begin/continue to sub-categorize genres. For example, once upon a time you used to really only have Country, Blues, Jazz, (obviously various other types, but these were the big 3). But as time goes on artists tend to break the set parameters defined by these genres by fusing other genres with the originals, making a new style almost undefinable to it's original form. If it were so simple, I would just tell my friends I listen to Rock music which immediately makes each one think a different thing.
Americana to me is a broad genre that blankets many sub-genres. Anything with "Alt-" in the name is usually a dead give away of a sub genre.
OK, I understand where some of you are coming from. There is an excellent No Depression blog by Barry Mazor on Feb 23 2009 called Americana, by any other name…. which goes a long way to address my concerns and my wishes. He also suggests that genre-jumping is a commercial activity.
I just wish that it were possible to stop allocating the label Americana to anyone without giving it real consideration, and with no real criteria. Recently I have heard of artists like Springsteen, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley and Elvis Costello [he's English, like me, for Gods sake!], as well as others with musical styles as disparate as JJ Cale, and kd Lang all being roped together under the same banner.
And when does the categorisation begin. I've already mentioned the Byrds, Burritos, and Buffalo Springfield. What about Neil Young, Gram Parsons, and Ry Cooder? And if you can include the Brits of Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe and Billy Bragg [with Wilco] why not Australian Nick Cave or Canadian Leonard Cohen? And if Americana can include folk music in the guise of Joanna Newsome, and The National, why can't it include Jazz like Mingus, and Coltrane….. [or maybe Diane Krall is OK?]. Or perhaps we can include some smoky Soul or Hip Hop like Eryka Badu and Jill Scott, or some nice heavy Rock like ZZ Top or Led Zeppelin [now I'm getting silly!]
I don't want thick boundary walls [I agree with Dave Beth], but it would be good to have some means of delineation, and to be able to say what it is, and what it isn't
…… but one thing it aint, is Country…
