Sam Green/Cortez Journal
The city of Cortez and Colorado Department of Transportation remove the barriers Wednesday around the area where there was a major water leak at Main and Harrison streets. With the barriers coming down, eastbound Main Street is back to two open lanes and Harrison Street is open again. The barriers were installed after a valve on a water pipe broke on Jan. 24. Workers had to dig up and repair the break. CDOT required the concrete traffic barriers to be installed before work could begin.

Voiceless students
Sen. Kay Hagan held a news conference recently at Leesville Road High School to announce her Financial Literacy for Students Act (April 29 news story).
Leesville Road has a graduation rate of 48 percent for students with disabilities. It is one of the lowest in Wake County. It is below the county average of 59 percent and well below the state target of 70 percent.
I wish that Hagan had not endorsed this school. It sends a message that students with disabilities don't matter. Touting a financial literacy program at a school where vulnerable students can't earn diplomas is offensive. A 48 percent chance of earning a diploma is unacceptable, but it goes unnoticed because students with disabilities don't have a voice. Everyone deserves an education and the opportunity to earn a diploma.

Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg
ndmike88 Posts: 155I agree it's a great car and a blast to drive. I am just looking for some specifics on the 09 Wolfsburg. For instance what do they called the 14 spoke wheels that came on the '08 Wolf? What is the finish?? Silver, bright silver?? That kind of info has to be out there somewhere.
If you find it, let me know......it will be greatly appreciated. I drove the Wolfsburg (reflex silver so it says) and loved it. The ride was a bit too firm but the 2.0 egine is superb.
I asked the salesperson what differences there were between a regular Jetta and the W edition---why is there no chrome on the doors(makes it look like a base Jetta) if the brakes had been upgraded, etc.
I was told that it is an exact Jetta except for the engine and the 17" wheels.
My salesperson asked if i would like a brochure, and I jumped at the oppurtunity of finding out more about this car. The brochure was 6 pages of info about the Sportwagen with the 2.5 engine, which does not interest me at all.
I have been all over the VW site..nothing. It's as if this car doesn't exist. Also...have you checked out KBB resale for this car?
I punched in a 2008 Wolfsburg Edition, gave it all the extras I could think of, and...whoah!!!!
The depreciation on this car is incredible...I still don't understand why..
Any information you--or others here--have will be greatly appreciated.
There someone told ya!
As far as depreciation I'm told VW is second only to Mercedes, what did it say for resale?
AFAIK they make Wolfs every year, why so secretive, I dont know, but I can tell you if you do buy it you will love it, so much stuff standard for the money, and way too much fun!!!!
I see that for "fair" condition, but that is described as:
Some mechanical or cosmetic defects and needs servicing but is still in reasonable running condition.
Clean title history, the paint, body and/or interior need work performed by a professional.
Tires may need to be replaced.
There may be some repairable rust damage.
That seems like pretty crappy condition for a car that new. Excellent condition trade in is about $14,500. Unless one is prone to trashing their new car, I would expect a 2008 with 5K mi to be in excellent condition.
Something isnt right. Who would take a $10k loss after 5k miles? This isnt a gas guzzling suv, this is a GLI in, I'll say it.....wolves clothes......(drumroll) hey I'll be here next friday.
Look at ads for VW's.
Ask your friends what a Wolfsburg is.
I know I have a great car that is fun, has a ton of stuff standard that most dont have as options........I went in wanting a diesel, still do, until then, I'll have fun with my Wolf.
jeff is right...however, I have NEVER received an "excellent" value for my trade..most dealers offer somewhere below "good" if using KBB.
This car has incredibly steep depreciation...when I looked into it some more, I saw that the Yahoo message boards are full of "Great car, but worth about 10k less after two years."
Honestly, I'm not trying to provoke a fight, or even imply that I am in any way a car whiz, but...the depreciation on this car is incredibly bad. I have owned two VW models, and they held their value pretty well. I have no idea why this model doesn't. That, and the somewhat harsh ride are keeping me from signing on the dotted line.... :confuse:
What are these actually selling for though...surely you are not looking to pay MSRP. Edmunds has reported that the average car sold for something like 20% off MSRP in Jan, IIRC. That would mean $4K off the average $20K car.
Of course, if you get 0% for 36 months that is probably costing VW around $2000. So maybe you effectively would pay around $18K ($20K plus $2000 savings from 0%) and trade in after a year is around $13K??? So maybe it's $5k depreciation?
Fitzmall has a couple of these listed with internet price of about $3K off MSRP.
First at just 500 miles the dealer had to replace the automatic transmission. Now at 29k miles, they just replaced the Drive Shaft. Unfortunately this does not qualify my car as a lemon. I'm under a lease, I'm about to call VW customer care to see if they can work something out with me. Anyone has any experience with them?
I am in a similar situation, though with a different car all together. Yes, the warranty will cover any of my issues. Such as a glitchy transmission, or engine problems. Dealer cannot duplicate the problem. To this day it is still doing it, but not on a 100%
basis. Its also nothing that shows itself incredibly well either, but I know the issue is there and that its not entirely normal.
So, I will just drive it, deal with it. If it happens to show itself more, than I will show the dealer. I also know that I won't hold on to the car for the whole lease. But, doing so will force me to wait at least 2yrs in, then values and numbers will be much better for a way out. So less than a year, I could have a better chance.
They won't let you out, but they will honor the warranty, and if they want to do that, then I will use that in every way I can... such as rentals and any issue I have. Let them eat the bill. I have run up at least $2k bill I am sure with minimal issues already, including rentals.
This is their problem, their car, I only lease it. Let them do it.
You are right all the repairs are covered under the warranty. I guess I was stupid to think that I could lease this car for three years and then buy it. I chose 10k per yr mile limit and now I know I'll exceed the miles and there's no way I'll buy this car after all these issues. I spoke to the service manager who referred me to VW customer care and I'm pretty sure that I won't accoplish anything with them. I got in touch with one of the lemon law firms and from they've told me is that even if the car won't qualify as a lemon I might be able to get some money from VW since the car depreciated more in value due to the mechanical problems.
I don't see how you would be able to argue for compensation for supposed diminshed value. Since you are leasing any diminshed value would affect what the dealer can sell it for after you turn it in at the end of the lease. You essentially have already agreed to the trade in value as part of the lease arrangements.
That is not to say that the "lemon law firm" will not be happy to charge you some fees to argue this. As for buying the car, I don't know that the fact that you had a couple repairs means that it is destined to continue to have other problems.
There is always the option to buy an extended warranty. I don't think these make financial sense myself, but up until 4 years and 36,000 miles I had the option to buy one from my credit union for our Jetta, with coverage comparable to mfr bumper to bumper warranty. To go 4 additional years and to 80K total miles was $2241 with 0 deductible or $1911 for a 100 deductible. So I could have eliminated the risk of high repair costs during our first 8 years of ownership for about $2000.
Like I said that was not a deal I wanted to take, but if the alternative would be to trade cars at 4 years, paying the $2000 for the warranty would likely be a much cheaper option. This figure also tells me that the warranty company (who is planning to make a profit on these deals) is expecting repairs to be quite a bit less than $2000, on average, over the next 4 years and ~40-50,000 mi.

Man found dead in pond 2 days after fleeing deputies
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 9:57 p.m.
The family of a 20-year-old Davis man discovered him dead in a pond surrounded by thick brush near Highway 101 north of Healdsburg on Friday — about 2½ days after he was last seen fleeing Sonoma County Sheriff's deputies who stopped him for a broken headlight.
Authorities had searched without success for James Flavio Gomez, a student at Sacramento City College, since he ran from them Tuesday night after first driving over the foot of a sheriff's deputy.
Gomez's mother said her son had fled because he didn't have a driver's license — not because he was on drugs, as authorities have suggested.
"He was a kid who got scared, and was afraid of getting in trouble," said Laura Blyth of Davis. "He had a headlight out, and (deputies) were telling him 'That's not safe,' and then he made the worst choice of his life. But he's just a young, young kid."
Gomez was pulled over Tuesday at 8:15 on Healdsburg Avenue, just south of Alexander Valley Road, Sheriff's Lt. Denis O'Leary said in a statement.
Gomez became "agitated and displayed symptoms of being under the influence of a controlled substance," said O'Leary, who could not be reached for details.
When a deputy opened the car door, Gomez sped off, running over another deputy's foot. The car crashed at Lytton Station Road and Healdsburg Avenue, where a passenger, Kelsey Michaela Stauffer, got out.
She was arrested nearby on suspicion of resisting arrest and being under the influence of a controlled substance, O'Leary said.
Blyth said Friday that Stauffer was her son's girlfriend, the car was hers, and Gomez had been driving home from Fort Bragg because Stauffer was sick.
"She told me they were both completely sleep-deprived, they'd been camping and not sleeping, I don't know," said Blyth, who added that she had seen the evidence booked in from the car and it did not include drugs.
Deputies assisted by a helicopter searched for four hours in the area where Gomez was last seen, O'Leary said. They returned Thursday night after being alerted by Gomez's father that his son was still missing.
Gomez's family organized a search party that found his body just before noon Friday, Blyth said.
Because deputies were involved in pursuing and searching for Gomez, Santa Rosa police are investigating what happened under an official protocol designed to provide neutral review of deaths involving officers.
"I don't think they (deputies) did anything wrong," Blyth said. "I think James didn't stop, he was just a scared kid. But they didn't know that. They didn't know who he is."
It was unclear how her son died, Blyth said, but she's been told that an autopsy is planned.
"James was a good, normal kid from Davis who loved hockey and hiking in Fort Bragg," she said.

Brighton Christmas Day swim draws crowds despite cancellation
12:17pm Tuesday 25th December 2012 in News By
Scores of Christmas Day revellers flocked to Brighton beach for the annual swim despite the event being cancelled.
Around 100 people gathered on the seafront to observe the traditional seaside plunge but were left disappointed when nobody entered the water.
The festive dip normally sees members of Brighton Swimming Club braving cold weather and icy waters in front of hundreds of spectators.
But Brighton and Hove City Council said yesterday it will be closing the stretch of beach after warnings of high winds and strong tides.
A spokesman from the Seaside Office said: "Unfortunately the swim was cancelled and safety barriers were erected as a result. I'm pleased to say everybody took our advice and didn't enter the water."
Last year a drowning man was rescued on Brighton beach in similar conditions and in 2007, 12 people were rescued, again when the weather was windy with treacherous waves.

"One Easter I was unable to find a leg of lamb to roast, as is traditional in my family. The best I could find was chunks of lamb, in my local Mexican market. So I decided to defy tradition and use the ingredients around me. Best Irish-Mexican Easter EVER! Serve with toasted flaked almonds, crumbled cotija cheese, and homemade croutons."

- Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
- Arrange the tomatillos, onions, poblano peppers, and garlic on a baking sheet.
- Cook the vegetables under the broiler until the skins are charred on the side facing the heater elements; turn the vegetables and continue cooking until equally charred, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
- Remove and discard the root and outer skin from the onion and garlic; remove and discard the stem and seeds from the peppers.
- Working in batches, combine some of the tomatillos, onion, poblano peppers, garlic, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lager-style beer, cumin, salt, and pepper in a blender to about half full. Holding the lid in place, pulse a few times to get the mixture moving before leaving the blender on to puree to a smooth texture; pour into a slow cooker.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Cook and stir the lamb cubes in the hot oil until browned on all side, about 5 minutes; transfer to the slow cooker.
- Cook on High for 4 hours.

It was great! I love the Irish-Mex combo! Served it with some roasted red pepper and on a bed of brown rice and it was a hit. Thanks for the recipe!
We don't have fresh tomatillos in Australia, so I had to use canned. I also didn't have lager so I used beef stock. A few little changes but not too many. It was fabulous! I served it with a bean and avocado salsa and brown rice. Husband loved it and took the leftovers for work the next day. Great meal to do in the slow cooker, absolutely delicious.

It's Business Execs—Not Obama—Who Don't Get the Rules of Capitalism
Businesses like Hostess need to understand that their failure is because of their executive bonus system, not because of unions.
The problem with much of American business executives is not that President Obama is advancing some sort of socialist agenda that threatens their success. The problem is that some of these same executives don't really want to be capitalists.
Sure, they like the private profit part. They like the part about being able to make massive amounts of money through business success. What they seem to have a hard time with is accepting that when they screw up—either with the product itself or with the marketing of it—they're supposed to lose money.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
We saw this with the arrogant Wall Street financiers who brought the national economy to the brink of collapse because they played a little too carelessly with their investments. What made it worse is that the cash in question was other people's money—not just big investors, but people with 401Ks and smaller investments. Letting the banking industry and the financial sector fall apart would have been hard on those industries, but devastating for people who had nothing to do with the bad decisions that got the sectors in such trouble to begin with. A bailout was not enough—these executives were then demanding the right to give bonuses, on the theory that the only people who knew how to fix the financial machinery were the ones who caused it. It's much like the murderer avoiding the death penalty by leading police to the body so the family can have closure.
The folks who make the nutritionally suspect Hostess Twinkies are now doing the same thing. The company has been in trouble for awhile, and blamed their demise on the unionized workers. This is not only insulting but absurd; the company vastly increased executive compensation during the downfall at the same time it was getting huge givebacks from unionized workers. The idea that maybe, just maybe, you don't deserve to be paid as much—never mind more—when your company is flailing seems not to have occurred to them. They want to privatize the profit, of course. But they want to socialize the risk, making workers who had nothing to do with the downfall of the business be accountable for its losses.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the fiscal cliff.]
Now, the executives are asking a bankruptcy judge to allow them to give as much as $1.75 million in bonuses during the liquidation phase. The theory is that the executives would have no incentive to preside over the liquidation unless they were offered huge amounts of cash. These are the same people who failed at making Twinkies and Ding Dongs profitable. Under the rules of capitalism, why are they making money at all, let alone given added compensation?
Market economies can be brutal to those who fail as entrepreneurs. But if you can't hack the rules, don't get in the game. Obama isn't socializing any part of the economy. But it appears a lot of executives actually want it that way.

Only God can correct our fall off moral cliff
Recent events of mass murders at elementary schools, shopping malls, cinema theaters, and temples make us wonder if we are safe anywhere. Politicians will make us believe that if you ban guns and send people to a psychiatrist, magic pills will turn them into wonderful, kind tree-huggers.
We have banned God from our lives, declared there is no distinction between bad and good and blame our mistakes on others. We have refused to be responsible parents. We do not believe in anyone, have respect for no one. We have become a pill-popping society. For a little pain or any problem, we need a pill.
To be politically correct, we not only have fallen off the moral cliff but have lost even the moral compass, too. We are afraid to say what is wrong with our generation, kids' upbringing or upholding any moral values. We are proud to teach our 6-year-old kids to shoot and kill animals; television, movies, video games — every which way we glorify violence. We forget that we lost our soul and values in the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam war.
Can a psychiatrist, a pill or a 10-15-minutes visit with a psychologist cure all these problems of a dysfunctional family?
Roman politicians crucified Jesus and some American politicians and intellectuals crucified morality and declared war on God by banning school prayers and other everyday events of life. We are accountable to no one. We celebrate national holidays for dead politicians, but not for a living God, not one day of national prayer as a God-fearing nation, under one God, one flag. We have fallen off a moral cliff away from God.
If you want to get up and just want a "pill" so you can go back to sleep or stand in line for God's mercy and blessing, the choice is yours. Some folks do not like religion. I understand. Every religion wants a monopoly and to erect its own toll booths, but in my humble opinion, anyone can reach God's blessing. There are no toll booths and toll tax collectors for the road to salvation.

How society functions
The Record-Eagle's Dec. 23 editorial and Associated Press front-page article, Dec. 24, regarding a speech by Executive Director and CEO Wayne LaPierre (referred to as "lobbyist" to sound more sinister) was either not viewed by the author(s) or was chosen to "spin" the remarks to promote more gun control.
Mr. LaPierre stated that the National Rifle Association is helping to fund and organize a panel chaired by Ex-Congressman Asa Hutchinson to assess effects on mass/school violence from: mental instability; violence in entertainment; current gun laws; school design; and armed protection.
He also suggested that school boards be allowed the option of authorizing armed guards in the interim. He commented that the over four million NRA members and retired ex-military and police could qualify for this, with certification, possibly as volunteers.
For this he was called "loony" and "goofy." What societal mayhem has been eliminated by law? History shows that violence has been done by evil minds in many ways other than guns. When someone attempts to get at the real causes, they are ridiculed.
Maybe the teaching of faith, as in religion and one's self, and understanding the value of life is important in how a sane society functions.

Oppose it vigorously
The Jan. 6 article about the renewal of the vetoed bill to re-organize Blue Cross mentions AARP as opposing this bill but does not give the specific cost increase associated with it. They estimate that the cost for seniors will be at least $75 per month per person for a Medigap Policy.
For the benefit of those not yet on Medicare, Medicare has an annual deductible and pays only 80 percent of approved medical bills. Seniors must buy a Medigap policy, which is now $122.86 per month per person, for the most common policy at Blue Cross to cover those charges.
This added $75, or $150 per couple, will increase our costs from $2,948 to $4,748 annually for the Blue Cross portion of this coverage. That's $1,800 in new taxes. Taxes? Of course it is. Companies don't pay taxes. Their customers do. That would be many senior citizens. We will have to come up with the $100 million in our premiums for Blue Cross that Gov. Snyder wants. Apparently the Legislature is ready to serve it up to him unless those who will be forced to pay this new tax now and in the future oppose it vigorously. Do it.

Two sets of laws
Here we go again. Another deputy (Salisbury) is charged with assault and gets a paid vacation, although the sheriff's department calls it administrative leave with pay.
This is crazy. Get paid for hitting a woman? What's more crazy is, where are all these women's groups who are against abuse and violence? Maybe they are afraid the rest of the brave officers of the law and order are looking for a paid vacation, too.
These men of the law are supposed to uphold the law and set examples. Nice, teach our young it's OK to break the law or hit women. Just make sure you have a badge and gun, otherwise you will lose your job, get no pay and go to jail.
But, in reality, there are two sets of laws, one for us and one for the police.

The Institute for Innovative Transition (IIT) at the University of Rochester has been awarded a grant aimed at supporting the transition needs of students with intellectual and developmental disabilities in New York State. The grant from the EnvisionIT Program at Ohio State University is the most recent award given to IIT, a partnership among the Golisano Foundation and the University's Warner School and Strong Center for Developmental Disabilities, to address transition issues in high school curricula.
Like their students, teachers across Monroe and surrounding counties look forward to their summer vacation. This summer, some teachers will devote a portion of their time to continue learning new ways to improve the teaching of writing in area schools. Nearly a dozen teachers will attend the Invitational Genesee Valley Writing Project Summer Institute, running July 7 to 25. This year's Institute will include an in-depth focus on Common Core.
Today, University of Rochester President Joel Seligman, Rochester City School Board Chair Van White, and the leaders of relevant labor unions associated with East High School announced that an essential step had been completed to allow East High School to remain open under an Educational Partnership Organization agreement.
Associate Professor Martin Lynch has been awarded a Fulbright Scholar grant to teach and conduct research in Russia. Lynch's award will take him to Kazan Federal University for the 2014-15 academic year to teach in the Department of Psychology and conduct research on the beliefs of local childcare and child development experts on what is needed to help children develop and thrive in psychologically and emotionally healthy ways.
The Horizons at Warner summer enrichment program, running July 1 to August 8, 2014 in LeChase Hall on River Campus, is giving city parents an opportunity to expand their understanding of the best ways to support their children in school. A unique program, called Parents as Learning Support (PALS), piloted this summer will help reduce barriers to parent participation in schooling.

President Barack Obama won Ohio's 18 electoral votes on Tuesday, defeating Republican Mitt Romney.
In the 2008 presidential election, the state voted for Barack Obama, and since the 1990s, has voted for the overall winner of the presidential race every time.
Romney and Obama campaigned aggressively in Ohio. The state has typically been a battleground state in recent presidential elections.
The economy was a key issue for many voters in the state, as was healthcare.
Barack Obama Wins Ohio

Just because someone disagrees with someone does not make them a hater. I am not ever going to be silent. Let's see what Obama does with HIS economy now? Or, will it be forever Bush's? A true leader is someone who steps up and takes responsibility which is something I have NEVER seen from Obama.
Joyce Wells November 08, 2012 at 03:59 AM
The joke is that Obama was re-elected with the pitiful way he has governed. You call other people a joke? You are a sanctimonious, self-important bigot. Anyone that disagrees with your ideas MUST be prejudiced. Really, those kind of arguments should be left for children. Kool-Aid anyone? Oh, that's right you have already drank it all.
Keith Best November 08, 2012 at 11:55 AM
The headlines should be screaming "Millions of Americans duped again". Axelrod and the Chicago gang ran one of the sleaziest campaigns ever defining Romney as something he was not. What is the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Sadly, we will get more of the same from a president who was in over his head from day one. The Obamabots swallowed their lies, hook, line and sinker.
Joyce Wells November 08, 2012 at 10:32 PM
Exactly, Keith. That Albert Einstein quote is right on the money. What money is that? Oh, you know, the money we keep borrowing from China. The money that people expect to buy them things that they are "entitled to." What happened to a strong work ethic and working for what you want and need. The founding fathers didn't even want non-landowners to have the vote. I used to question that and being a female, the fact that women have had the right to vote for less than 100 years was a concern of mine. Yet, when the people who "have not" now outnumber the people that "have", keeping in mind that we only "have" because we have worked for it, there seem to be numerous problems which are completely compounded by the fact that this is an entitlement society. I have been on food stamps and had a medical card for roughly one year and trust me, I NEVER want to go back to that. People need help from time to time, but when it becomes a way of life, we see the end of America as we know it.

What you will learn from this book
- Explore the features of Struts 2.1 to develop your application
- Enhance your web application by writing your own custom result type
- Create your own type converter to handle custom data types
- Automatically generate application and development documentation
- Learn good exception handling practices for your applications

- Run many types of tests both to prove functionality and to make change safe
In Detail
Struts 2.1 is a modern, extensible, agile web application framework suitable for both small- and large-scale web applications.
The book begins with a comprehensive look at Struts 2.1 basics, interspersed with detours into more advanced development topics. You'll learn about configuring Struts 2.1 actions, results, and interceptors via both XML and Java annotations. You'll get an introduction to most of the Struts 2.1 custom tags and learn how they can assist in rapid application prototyping and development.
From there you'll make your way into Struts 2.1's strong support for form validation and type conversion, which allows you to treat your form values as domain objects without cluttering your code. A look at Struts 2.1's interceptors is the final piece of the Struts 2.1 puzzle, allowing you to leverage the standard Struts 2 interceptors as well as implement your own custom behavior.
After covering Struts 2.1 you'll journey into the world of JavaScript, a surprisingly capable language, the Document Object Model (DOM), and CSS, and learn how to create clean and concise client-side behavior. You'll leverage that knowledge as you move on to Struts 2 themes and templates, which give you a powerful way to encapsulate site-wide user interface behavior.
The book closes with a look at some tools that make the application development life cycle easier to manage, particularly in a team environment, and more automatic.
This book provides an in-depth introduction to Struts 2 and crash-courses in JavaScript, CSS, Test-Driven Development, agile programming techniques, and tool development, focusing on the delivery of complete, documented, maintainable web applications.
This book takes a clear approach, focusing on one topic per chapter, but interspersing other issues in the mainline text and in chapter detours. Taking a practical approach, it discusses agile web development using Struts 2, with plenty of examples for better understanding.
Who this book is for
If you are a Struts 1 or WebWork user and wish to go ahead and migrate to Struts 2, this practical guide is also for you.

ASHTABULA — Marilyn Marie Nelson, age 88, died unexpectedly on Thursday, Nov. 22, 2012, at the Cleveland Clinic.
The daughter of Norman and Elsie (Johnson) Ecklund, she was born in Ashtabula on Feb. 19, 1924, and had remained a lifelong area resident. During her junior year at Harbor High School, she and her family moved to Cleveland and she graduated from John Hayes High School in 1942.
She worked three years at the Cleveland Trust Bank in the Estate Department before moving back to Ashtabula to marry her loving husband, Robert J. Nelson upon his discharge from the United States Navy. They were married on Oct. 23, 1945, at Capernaum Lutheran Church, with the Rev. Ernest Peterson officiating; and had celebrated sixty years of marriage prior to his death on Sept. 5, 2005.
Marilyn was a former member of Lake Avenue United Methodist Church and the former Harbor United Methodist Church for more than sixty years. With the closing of the Harbor United Methodist, she became a willing and active member of the First United Methodist Church. Marilyn was active in the choir and the United Methodist Women, serving in several leadership capacities.
First and foremost, Marilyn loved her family. There was no greater joy in her life than being with family. She was a wonderful wife, mom, grandma, great-grandma and friend. Her warm smile and her unconditional love for everyone will be remembered for many generations.
She is survived by her children, Pamela (Stephen) Poros and Craig (Penny Lines), both of Ashtabula, and Reta (Scott) Boone of Anchorage, Alaska; 13 grandchildren; and many loving great-grandchildren; her brother, Norman "Bud" (Dorothy) Ecklund of Ashtabula; and her former daughters-in-law, Kathie Nelson-Melhouse and Trang "Ly" Nelson.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Robert J. Nelson in 2005; her much loved son, John W. Nelson on May 21, 2000; and her parents.
Visitation will be observed from 2 to 5 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 2nd, at ZABACK-WILLIAMS-DUCRO FUNERAL HOME, 500 W. Prospect Road, Ashtabula.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held at The First United Methodist Church at a later date. Burial to be at Lulu Falls Cemetery, North Kingsville, Ohio.

Univision, the New York-based communications company with a large Miami presence, reported gains in fourth-quarter and full-year 2013 revenues. The private media firm also announced a new digital-production unit with a location in Miami-Dade County.
Univision said its fourth-quarter revenue was $696.2 million, up 3.6 percent from $671.7 million in the same period in 2012. The overall quarterly growth included gains in the company's television revenues but declines in radio and digital.
Univision, which said its Spanish-language programming makes it the fifth-most-watched U.S. television network in prime time, launched the English-language entertainment network Fusion from Doral in the fourth quarter of 2013.
For the year, Univision's $2.63 billion in revenue represented a 7.6 percent jump from $2.44 billion in 2012. Media reports last year speculated that Univision could be positioning itself for an initial public offering sometime in the second half of 2014.
The company announced this month the creation of La Fabrica, an in-house digital-content arm with offices in New York and Miami. La Fabrica will create content for Univision.com and UVideos.com as well as other Univision outlets. Its first effort: a 12-episode web series called Medicina Desconocida (Strange Medicine)featuring the network's chief medical correspondent, Dr. Juan Rivera.

MERIDIAN — Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. — Psalm 32:1 (NKJV)
Recently, I had someone approach me in the funeral home and ask, "Who should I see? I am supposed to be a pallbearer."
While directing the young man to a funeral director, I wondered, "Does he know what a 'pallbearer is?'"
A simple definition is that a pallbearer carries the pall. That produces another question, "What is a pall?" A pall is the covering of the casket. So, the pallbearers carry the casket covering.
The significance of the pall may stand in question as well. Often we see flowers as the covering displaying favorite flowers of the deceased. Sometimes we see an American flag celebrating a veteran who has served our country in the past.
Originally, the pall was the flag or covering of the church celebrating that this person is covered by the church.
In our society, flowers represent the pall. A pall of flowers indicates the love of the family for the person deceased. The family's pall ultimately drapes over the grave to add beauty and inspiration.
The American flag encourages patriotism. Our hearts stir and all in uniform come to attention as the flag moves by in procession.
The church's pall indicated the deceased was in good standing and approved by the church for acceptance and entrance into heaven. While in the church facility, the church's pall would be draped over the casket of the saint who had died.
Flowers and flags are inspiring, but the covering I cherish most is the covering from the Lord. Approval of the church is desired. Admiration from the family is cherished. But, the Lord covering my sin is priceless. Only Jesus can provide the covering that lasts forever.
When six "pall bearers" assist in my funeral, and I hope it is not soon, I want my covering to be the love of Jesus! Flags and flowers are great to see on this side of life. But, the only covering that crosses over with us is the forgiveness of Christ of our sins!

By Anatoly Liberman
I have collected many examples about which I would like to hear the opinion of our correspondents. Perhaps I should even start an occasional column under the title "A Word Lover's Complaint."
Hanging as. Everybody must have seen sentences like the following: "…as the president, our cares must be your concern." This syntax seems to be acceptable in American English, for it occurs everywhere, from the most carefully edited newspapers to essays by undergraduate students. The idea of the sentence given above is obvious: "you, being the president…" or "since you are the president…" but doesn't the whole sound odd? Don't we expect something like "as the president, you should (are expected to)…." And I find the following passage highly ambiguous: "As a baby, his mother strapped him into the car seat and drove around St. Paul in the middle of the night to lull her boy back to sleep." Who was the baby: the mother or her son? Wouldn't it have been better to begin with: "When he was a baby…"?
Splitting all the way. Rather long ago, I wrote a post on the epidemic of split infinitives (the post was titled: "To Be Or To Not Be"). I should reiterate that I am not an enemy of the split infinitive if putting an adverb somewhere at the end of the sentence produces awkward results. But I see no virtue in to not be, and today I would like to offer a few more of my choicest examples. When to get up late became to late get up, writers (or even speakers?) got into the habit of splitting everything they could lay hands on. Naturally, if one may say the court asked the prosecutors to not make the name public and it is better to not think why these things happen (the second quote is from an article by David Brooks; I bet ten or fifteen years ago he would have written it is better not to think, but who is he not to jump—to not jump—on the bandwagon?), it is also legitimate to say giants gave birth to not only the giant race but also…, even though there is no infinitive around. The rest is trivial (more of the same): we made a promise to never surrender and kept it; …might be able to also intervene to help her companions; this word is thought to perhaps stem from baby talk, and staff members also were advised to always call "a data projector" a "Datenprojektor…" (this horror happened in Germany, where there is a movement to substitute native computer terms for the English ones, but the ugly sentence, with its also were…always and to always call, was produced in the United States), and so it goes. Why not might also be able to intervene, never to surrender, is thought to stem perhaps, and always to call? I understand that in long sentences like it's hard to spontaneously generate a bubble, when… or and ordered the Department of Defense to immediately stop any ongoing effort to remove anyone… it is tempting to get rid of an adverb as soon as possible, though even there to generate a bubble spontaneously and to stop immediately would, I believe, have been preferable. It is of course such sentences that caused the split infinitive to come into being, and this is where they should stay rather than spreading like mildew. Alas, people go all lengths to split, just for the sake of splitting, even when the result sounds like a bad joke. …the story highlighted the fact that financial trader XX and I attended the same high school and happened to each serve on the alumni board there…. A line of Latin or skaldic poetry would have been easier to unscramble than this statement. I think the writer meant to say that each of them (that is, Mr. XX and he) served on the same board. Why didn't he say so? Apparently, because splitting is "cool." O Fowler, Fowler, my beloved guru, where art thou? Silence. I urge all our readers to seriously consider putting up an honest fight against gratuitous splitting.
Frisket. This is the definition of frisket from the OED: "Thin iron frame hinged to the tympanum, having tapes or paper strips stretched across it for keeping the sheet in position while printing." (A tympanum is a space defined in technical terms, not the eardrum.) The word surfaced in English texts at the end of the 17th century. The diminutive suffix is obviously of French origin. Romance suffixes grace many Germanic nouns in English. For instance, in strumpet the root is probably English, but a French suffix turned a native whore into a classy prostitute. However, French frisquette and Spanish frasqueta turned up in texts earlier than Engl. frisket, so that Engl. frisket must be a loanword. Frisquette is the oldest of them and looks like the source of both frasqueta (in which e presumably became a in the syllable preceding stress) and frisket. Two factors speak against deriving the French word from frasqueta: we have no printing terms borrowed from Spanish and the chronology (see above). Also, Flemish French had frisquette, where it was a borrowing from French, not a native coinage, for otherwise initial f would have become v. The few conjectures offered about the origin of the French word do not go beyond guesswork. It is hardly a mere sum of frisk- and -et, as though the frame's "frisky motion" were meant (Skeat). A similar hypothesis has it that a frisket makes the picture neat and "lively" (Corominas). Even less inviting is the idea that the frame in question "preserves the freshness of the sheet" (Littré). The derivation from French frasque "prank(s)," from Italian frascha "leafy branch" and its diminutive fraschetta "twig" (both pranks and branches being "full of life"), would have made sense (frisquette as a frame made of "twigs") only if the root with a, rather than e, were initial, that is, if the story had begun in Spain (the unlikely scenario defended by Gamillscheg). Still another guess connects frisquette with some reflex of Latin fixare (indeed, a frisket "fixes" the sheet), but this etymology presupposes two sound changes: ks to sk (metathesis) and the appearance of the so-called intrusive r (Barbier). Both changes are common, and for this kind of r even a term exists (r emphaticum), but no evidence points to their operating in the history of the noun in question. Although Barbier's suggestion is the best from a semantic point of view, the root of frisquette is probably Germanic rather than Latin. Regrettably, the usual verdict "origin unknown" has to stay, but the Spanish hypothesis should, I believe, be abandoned. Such is also the opinion of several modern Romance etymologists.
Right: its several meanings. This adjective, which corresponds to Latin rectus, was coined with the sense "straight," and, as a result, beginning with the 14th century, we have had right angles. The figurative meaning is the opposite of wrong (wrong refers to things "crooked" and is allied to wring). Right (straight) things are also "righteous." Hence "this is right." Since with most people the hand not contiguous to the heart is the strongest and "true" one, it was also called right.

Though this may not be relevant, frisket is attested in English at least twice earlier than Moxon, 1683. OED's two nouns "frisket" (to make a wild guess?) could be related. OED for frisket n. 1 guesses a sparrow. Elsewhere for that c. 1602 text–"the chirkinge of the frisketts"–we read "probably crickets." Still elsewhere we read "frogs." If it is frogs and if you seek a German word, perhaps: Frosch.
I too would rather write "I am writing to you as President" and leave it up to Obama to write "As President, I am writing to you." But real ambiguity in these cases is, I suggest, rare in non-contrived examples.
The historian Rudolf Gneist pointed out that the Tory policy of "non-resistance" after the Restoration of Charles II was essentially the older Stuart policy of absolute power, but on the defensive. Your view of split infinitives is likewise. Adverb placement has always been fairly free, grammatically speaking, in English: adverbs may be moved around for semantic, pragmatic, and rhetorical effects.
Then someone decided to write down a rule that said "No adverbs between 'to' and a following verb in the plain form", and so people were taught for many years, until they came to feel (not believe, but feel) that it was a rule not of grammar but of morality. When the absurdity and folly of this rule became evident, it was taken to the Banqueting House and beheaded, but people who had been brought up on the rule still twitched when they saw a "violation".
To ease the resulting tic, they decided to say "Well of course we can split infinitives, but only for a *very good reason*." But there is no reason why one should be required to give a *very good reason* for this particular freedom, any more than for any of the other freedoms that the grammar of English allows and has always allowed. It is not the case that there is only one right way to say something, though anyone reading a usage book could be excused if they came to believe that the author thought so.

To be competitive, a business should offer a quality product or service that solves a problem for customers, has financial value, is effectively distributed and is different from its competitors. Outstanding customer service is also key. And all of the pieces should be in place.
Bill Warner, executive director of EntreDot (entredot.org), a Cary-based company that focuses on helping entrepreneurs succeed in business, spoke with Shop Talk reporter Virginia Bridges about what it takes to make your business competitive. Here are his edited comments.
Start with the right target: Do a complete market analysis to understand market needs, including buyers and their buying criteria and preferences, and determine which market segments have the most opportunity.
Identify a consumer need: A product or service should directly solve an important customer problem. The need for your product or service has to be financially justified as one of the top-priority issues the customer has to deal with right now.
The features and capabilities of your product or service have to solve a problem and match up to the buyers requirements in every way.
Know your value: Be able to easily and decisively communicate the benefit that your product or service will bring to customers. The product or services value should be financially justifiable for the consumer and be should be compelling enough to be at the top of their purchasing priority list.
Be the best: Your product or service has to be a must have, from your customers point of view. Nice to haves are not affordable today. Your product or service has to be superior, and you must demonstrate it by comparison to your competitors.
Be available: Know how your customers want to buy the product or service. Its purchase price, usage terms, distribution channel, fulfillment channel, installation assistance, ongoing support and maintenance have to match the customers way of doing business.
Satisfy your customer: Offer outstanding quality and customer support. You want repeat business. You want your customers to be a positive reference for potential customers.

Tworld News: Week of November 18, 2010
Comedians tweeting the news is just like angsty suburban teens performing acoustic covers of forgotten 80's songs: never appropriate and always hilarious.
It's always so darn surprising to find out that failed leaders had troubled childhoods. Although the whole 'being shown a fetus by your mother when you were a teenager' thing is getting kinda old.

George W. Bush's Moral Philosophy Was Shaped by Fetus Brother in a Jar Obviously
Look, I almost feel silly to be writing about this right now, because it's so normal and boring and not-southern-gothic-nightmare-material-that-could-very-easily-have-been-in-a-Faulkner-novel that I kind of don't know why I'm mentioning it. But, you know, it's kind of a slow news day, so what the hey.
Former President George W. Bush is the man he is today because his mother — former First Lady Barbara Bush — presented him as a child with the inchoate partially-formed body of his prenatal sibling in a glass jar. Yawn…
George W. Bush's pro-life stance solidified when he was a teenager in Texas — after his mother suffered a devastating miscarriage and showed him the fetus in a jar, the former president said in an extraordinary interview that airs tonight.
"She said to her teenage kid, 'Here's the fetus,' " the shockingly candid Bush told NBC's Matt Lauer, gesturing as if he were holding the jar during the TV chat, a DVD of which The Post exclusively obtained.
"There's no question that affected me, a philosophy that we should respect life," said the former president, who had to drive his distraught mother to the hospital at the time.
I suppose it might also partially explain his aversion to raspberry beef jerky preserves.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa transportation officials will take on the issue of automated traffic cameras next week with a proposed new set of rules designed to give them control over whether speed and red light cameras are placed on state highways and interstates they oversee.
Iowa is the only state in the nation that allows cameras to be permanently installed along interstate roads or highways managed by the state.
The Iowa Department of Transportation this week published new rules that would require cities and counties to provide proof that there's a critical safety issue at a specific location before cameras would be allowed. The rules must go through a public hearing process and other steps before they're finalized.
The first public hearing will be at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Iowa Capitol when the Administrative Rules Review Committee meets to discuss the proposal. The legislative committee is made up of five Republicans and five Democrats who provide legislative oversight on state agency rule making.
The DOT is accepting written comments and will hold a public meeting at 1 p.m. on Oct. 30 at Hampton Inn and Suites in Ankeny.
The earliest the rules could go into effect would be Feb. 12.
Nine Iowa cities as well as Polk County use automated cameras that ticket motorists who run red lights or exceed the speed limit.
The cities are Cedar Rapids, Clive, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des Moines, Fort Dodge, Muscatine, Sioux City, and Windsor Heights.
Several of the cities have installed permanent cameras to ticket drivers on state-run highways or interstates and others use mobile cameras mounted in vehicles parked alongside state roads.
Des Moines uses them on Interstate 235, for example. Cedar Rapids has several cameras along Interstate 380. Sioux City tickets speeders on Interstate 29 and has red light cameras on U.S. Highway 75.

Rhode Island moved one step closer to marriage equality Thursday as the Rhode Island House of Representatives voted 51 to 19 today to allow same-sex couples to marry in the state, the Legislature announced in a release.
Rep. Arthur Handy, who has introduced the bill for each of the last 11 years, said the proposal is about justice and equity for same-sex couples.
"Obviously, this issue is about fairness and allowing all Rhode Islanders to have equal access to the rights and responsibilities that come with marriage, but marriage is about so much more than legal protections," Handy said in a release. "My wife and I have been married since 1997, and as we've worked together to raise our son, the value of having a committed, strong family has become more apparent to us over time. All Rhode Islanders deserve to enjoy that security and support, and deserve to have their family recognized as equal to others.
"It feels good to see how far we've come in Rhode Island toward valuing all families, and I know we are close to the day when marriage equality becomes law here," the Cranston representative added.
Forty-two of the 75 House members sponsored the bill, and the House Judiciary Committee approved it unanimously. The Seante is the final hurdle as Gov. Lincoln Chafee has pledged to sign it if the Senate approves it as well, the Statehouse release states.
The bill removes gender-specific language from the section of the general laws that governs eligibility for marriage. It inserts language that allows any person to marry any other eligible person, regardless of gender, effective immediately upon adoption of the bill.
It contains a provision that allows couples who entered into civil unions in Rhode Island to convert those unions to marriages, and automatically converts all remaining civil unions that have not been dissolved by Jan. 1, 2014, into marriages on that date.
The bill reiterates the right of religious institutions to set their own guidelines for marriage eligibility within their faith.
Rhode Island is the only New England state that does not allow same-sex marriage. Currently nine states and Washington, D.C., allow same-sex couples to marry.
In September, a WPRI poll of 501 likely voters in Rhode Island found that 56 percent of Rhode Islanders support same-gender marriage, and only 36 percent oppose it.
