GMP may boost power at LowellFebruary 16,2013
JAY — Green Mountain Power wants permission to install equipment that will boost the amount of electricity that its turbines in the Lowell Mountain wind project can put out in the New England grid.
The Caledonian-Record reported that Lowell wind operators noticed Tuesday that three of the 21 turbines were not producing electricity. They said capacity has been curtailed by ISO-New England, which runs the New England grid.
That was a concern of the head of the governor's Energy Generation Siting Policy Commission, which was on a tour of the wind project Tuesday.
Green Mountain Power is asking the Vermont Public Service Board to approve its plan.

main index
"The gist is that after the introduction of a clear and dominant evil, and to continue on to show the absence of the clear villain and the chaos that flows after it, it was necessary to place Hitler in Operation Darkness as a symbol of the true evil."Operation Darkness is a turn-based tactical RPG developed for the Xbox 360 by Japanese studio Success and released in late 2007 in Japan and most of Southeast/East Asia. It was licensed to Atlus for its North American release in mid-2008. The game was released once again in 2010 in Xbox Live, which also included a Europe-wide release in the same year.A fairly standard take on the tried-and-true mashup of World War II and the occult, the game follows a squad of SAS soldiers - the Wolf Pack (Officially known to the Allied Military forces as K Company, 1st Platoon) - fighting the Nazis across the European Theater and eventually attempting to assassinate Adolf Hitler himself to win the war for the Allied cause. The so-called Wolf Pack's membership includes Edward and Jude, a pair of infantry soldiers reassigned after their last mission resulted in the death of their platoon; Cordelia, a firestarter; James Gallant, the leader (and a werewolf); Keith, the point man; Frank, a close-combat specialist; Cynthia, a top-heavy Irish sniper; Herbert East, a medic and the only character who can revive dead soldiers; and, um...Jack the Ripper. A descendant of Van Helsing joins in the fight as well as a reanimated dead German soldier in a Jin-Roh-like battle armor suit. Together, they take on the German military and its allies, the Blood Clan led by a vampire officer named Alexander Vlado and his right hand woman Carmilla in order to prevent the entire world from being placed into total chaos.Generally very poorly received by critics, the game has nonetheless found its cult following worldwide, most of whom will admit that it has more than its share of flaws (The nearly complete lack of any kind of tutorial, there's very little explanation of the effective use of cover mechanics, the abounding Narm) (that the entire main cast is voiced by popular professional VA's helps too) but remains enjoyable nonetheless as a result of its handful of unique gameplay mechanics and its straight-faced treatment of its decidedly ridiculous and somewhat Troperiffic subject matter.
- Ken Ogura, main producer of Operation Darkness when he was asked in an interview why Adolf Hitler was placed in the game as a major antagonist.

New recording, from the other night, of Sang Plato's Ghost, played by the Ghost Ensemble under the baton of David Bloom. Expert young musicians, they did a fine job.

The Spirit Must Die So the Letter Can Live
A student of mine had a performance with a very professional new-music group, and one in which he participated. He told me about a rehearsal they had which was going really well, in which all the players were locked in and the music was really soaring. One of the instrumentalists abruptly stopped the music, explaining: "We were making a crescendo, and there's no crescendo notated." It's like Miles Davis said: robot shit. … [Read more...]
Louder Sang that Ghost, "What Then?"
My major composerly event of the season is the premiere of my septet Sang Plato's Ghost by the Ghost Ensemble, conducted by David Bloom, this Saturday night (Satie's birthday, propitiously enough). The ensemble was formed by one of my former composition students Ben Richter, who plays the accordion, and I've always wanted to write for accordion. Bloom, another Bard product (if indeed the reverse is not true instead) is conductor of the Contemporaneous Ensemble of skyrocketing reputation. The concert is at the Queens New Music Festival at the … [Read more...]
Orchestral Music as Paradox
A brilliant composer friend of mine recently had a reading of a piece done by a major orchestra. All the other composers, she said, and the orchestra management, went around talking about how the orchestra desperately needs to come up with new ideas, so they can build up a new audience. Her piece was very percussion driven, centered around a trap-set part that the orchestral percussionists didn't know how to handle, and so the reading was somewhat lacking. The other composers, commiserating, told her that the string section really needs to be … [Read more...]
The Modernist Populist
Even beyond Ives, I'm on a roll lately of research on dead American composers (DACs - I wish there were more public interest in LACs, but they are a needy and competitive bunch, and I've discovered the pleasures of communing musicologically with the serene and undemanding dead). Aside from Robert Palmer and Johanna Beyer (of whom possibly more soon), I've gotten an opportunity to study Marc Blitzstein, whom I've always admired for his politics and for the musico-political miracle of The Cradle Will Rock. For years after I'd read about the piece … [Read more...]

This morning I dreamed, honest to god, that an editor was coaxing me to write an online music theory text.

At the point where you study triads, both classical and jazz terminology would be given. Then, to go to seventh chords, if you click on classical it will take you to a page on the five standard classical seventh chords, or if on jazz, to a page with the seven or eight or nine (depending on who I've been taking … [Read more...]
The Missteps of Genius
God knows I think Charles Ives is god - or rather, Charlie knows I worship him - and I bristle like hell when he's called an amateur, but I have to admit his rhythmic notation makes me tear what's left of my hair at moments. Below are mm. 84-86 as taken from the second movement of the Piano Sonata No. 1, and below that the corrected rhythmic notation as I feel sure he intended it: In the original, the first half of the first measure has only seven 32nds duration in the right hand, and the second half of the second measure has twelve … [Read more...]

Every couple of weeks I get a query from a stranger asking me to explain some mathematical aspect of microtonality, and I am so fanatical on the subject that I tend to answer them quickly and at generous length. But for just as many people, I seem to be a go-to guy on the issue of whether we should maintain A as 440 cps or raise or lower it to 432, 442, or whatever. I suppose it says a lot about how immersed in microtonality I am, and how vague the concept is to the general population, that I am astonished that people think these issues are … [Read more...]
Classical Music Can Make You Dumb
On Saturdays we sometimes drive back from breakfast just as the NPR opera is starting up. Today's was Strauss's Arabella. The male and female commentators were discussing it, and the man mentioned something about the emotionalism of the music being especially appropriate because "this is an opera that really deals with issues of human emotion." No kidding? As opposed to all of those operas that don't deal with human emotion? What a curious departure from the norm. A moment later the woman pointed out that Strauss and von Hofmannsthal had … [Read more...]
A Difficult Genius
I'm terribly sorry to read in the Times that saxophonist and composer Fred Ho died, at only 56: I knew he had been fighting cancer for years. He gave me a splendidly colorful interview in 1997 that's reprinted in Music Downtown, beginning, "Fred Wei-han Ho knows how to cut your carotid artery with his hands...." What he learned at Harvard, he said, was that "privilege doesn't equate with talent, ability, intelligence, or hard work. Privilege is simply privilege." Fred could be a difficult guy, and no matter how much I tried to support him, I … [Read more...]

(The linked press release, unless they fix it, misstates my tenure at Bard College: I've taught here since 1997, not 2007.) The event is part of the Gallery Series, a series of new-music concerts that Bill founded many, many years ago. He … [Read more...]
Clickbait, Indeed
One of my student composers was talking today about wanting to write a really simple unpitched percussion piece. I told him about Mary Ellen Childs's piece Click, for three people playing merely claves in incredibly detailed choreography, which was one of the wildest and most enjoyable performances I ever reviewed for the Village Voice. We looked, and naturally it's on Vimeo. It's a total classic, a postminimalist paradigm, up there with Piano Phase and Music in Fifths. … [Read more...]

In an unprecedented move as part of the Obama administration's effort to combat sexual violence at colleges – said to strike one in five women – the Department of Education has released a list of 55 universities currently under investigation for mishandling sexual assault cases under Title IX gender equity laws. The White House has also set up the website Notalone.gov to offer information on Title IX rights and complaints, and has released a report with guidelines, recommendations and model policies for schools. The list of schools under investigation includes some usual suspects – Occidental, Florida , Chapel Hill – but also a slew of way pricey, top-tier schools you'd think would know better but evidently don't, including Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, Penn State, Catholic University and the Universities of Chicago and Southern California. The push to hold these places accountable has come in large part from rights advocates, who note that federal authorities have never sanctioned any school for sexual violence violations under Title IX.

Grandma would make this as a side dish for dinner and half of it would be gone before meal time. She made it with economical ground beef, but I add in some ground pork for extra flavor. Because this version has more meat in the packaging than regualr tiny, flower-shaped ones from the Chinese restaurant, the meat mixture is SLIGHTLY precooked; remember that you will also be deep-frying afterwards so don't over cook meat mixture.

HCDE probes never find anything
An article about a gentleman who filed an EEO claim for sexual harassment stated the school system's investigation found nothing to substantiate his claims.
I don't know anyone involved in his situation and wonder why claims continue coming against Hamilton County's Department of Education. Internal investigations are made by HCDE, but ironically nothing's ever found in case after case. Yet, while this and other dramatic brouhahas continue to turn lives upside down, I can't understand where to begin fixing this system.
When I read HCDE did their own investigation and found nothing, I knew another good teacher had been thrown away without a second thought. It doesn't matter if he's a man of good character. He will get another job. The problem and claim will just go away and a system will continue to do what they've always done.
HCDE amended policies and procedures this year that could produce unintended consequences. Consequences may not be obvious to members of Hamilton County now, but when we look back on the evolution of this system's character and consider what's best for students, will the new policies and procedures affect or "haunt" Hamilton County long after the reason for the policies and procedures are forgotten?
Ocoee bypass not good use of funds
A 2004 report evaluates "Cost-Effectiveness of North Carolina's Major Road Projects" by dividing project construction cost with number of vehicle miles traveled in the first 20 years of service. Average cost was 2.7 cents per vehicle mile traveled. The report concludes that projects requiring 8.0 cents per vmt (FY2002 dollars) should have been deferred. One cost-effective project was North Carolina Corridor K's widening in 1992 of 2.12 miles existing two-land to four-lane from North Carolina to the Little Tennessee River at 30 cents per vmt.
Tennessee proposes building a 6.8 mile Ocoee River Gorge bypass which, even if two lane, will be $300 million. The TDOT 2003 EIS, page 1-15 shows 3,100 vehicles on the bypass if it had been completed in 2005 and 4,910 in 2025. TDOT's gorge traffic count station No. 35 shows recent use about 4,600 vehicles per day like expected for 2005 so the EIS projections would be approximately accurate for the next 20 years. Using 4,005 vehicles per day for the 20 years (since part would use the river road), Corridor K's gorge bypass cost-ineffectiveness becomes $1.50 per vehicle mile to be traveled.
If Corridor K is funded, more deserving projects will go wanting.
Mr. Johnson understates the disastrous economic decision to build Corridor K, even as a two lane. No state should be building anything to serve less that 10,000 cars per day right now. The state average income per vehicle mile before this recession was a little over two cents. What projects are going to be cancelled or delayed to pay the difference between the $1.50 required and the two plus cents per vehicle mile that we are taking in? TDOT is operating an asphalt welfare program and this is the cost before the over runs. The corrupt Metropolitan and Rural Planning project selection system is very good at picking projects based on political need but is totally worthless when it comes to picking projects based on real transportation need.

No Mosquito 0.0.1
Most of the alternatives for keeping them away have nothing to do with computers but there is one application that claims to be able to fend them off with a single click of the mouse.
No installation routine, simple to work with
No Mosquito does not require to be installed as it works out of the box. There is a single screen to deal with, which features only two buttons: one for turning the application on and one for terminating its activity.
The developer also offers an explanation of how the program works for the more sceptical of the users. Basically, the program should emit a high-frequency sound that can be heard by mosquitoes and prevent them from entering the premises.
However, some studies show that electronic mosquito repellents have no effect on this sort of flies and the more traditional methods should not be eliminated.
Sound level is affected
But despite the scientific studies and in lack of the little pests for proper testing of the program we noticed that No Mosquito actually does something.
When turned on, the volume of the computer suffered a slight change and lowered. Disabling it restored the sound level.
Mosquitoes may still do their bidding
No Mosquito can be used without going through an installation routine and it doesn't demand too much of the computer resources (~23MB of RAM). It can be added among the alternatives that keep mosquitoes at bay although its effects are not guaranteed.

PRIMM SPRINGS, Tenn. (AP) -- More than a month after tornadoes tore through Tennessee, killing 33 people, Jimmy and Sherry Jones have recovered a 22-year-old baby picture of their daughter that was carried miles from their home.
Jeremy Heidt, who is a spokesman for the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, found the picture of a baby girl dressed in pink along a tree line near his Bells Bend home.
Heidt posted the picture on the agency's Web site and e-mailed it to emergency officials.
But it was when a family member saw the picture in Nashville newspaper The Tennessean that the Joneses learned it had been found.
Sherry Jones says the couple lost just about everything during the storms, so anything they can get back means a lot to them.

Despite reading Nathaniel Philbrick's brief little treatise, Why Read Moby-Dick, I'm still asking myself this question. Really.
Ok, I read Moby-Dick while doing a master's degree in American Studies. I get it–it's a classic and I was doing a degree where reading the tome makes sense. But seriously, what did I get out of it? Not a lot. I don't think that I "got" the book at all.
But Philbrick's explanation of the book and its importance makes total sense. Why didn't the professor I had THEN make these points about the book? Maybe he didn't "get" it either, but just required the text because, well, it's a classic.
So–do I think you should read Moby-Dick. Let me recommend to you that you read Philbrick's Why Read Moby-Dick instead. Or, if you feel like that's dishonest, read Philbrick's little book first. Or read it afterward. Or read it WHILE you are reading Moby-Dick.
The whole Moby-Dick thing will make so much more SENSE if Philbrick's holding your hand through it.
It's strange to me that I can be so impacted by the death of someone that I do not know.
For example, when Madeline L'Engle died a few years ago, I cried and cried. I felt like I had lost the dearest friend. I have read many of L'Engle's books, including those autobiographical ones where she details her writing life, marriage, and the death of her mother. I justified these deep emotions to myself because I had spent so many hours with her through her books. I really felt like I knew her and I knew that the world was a lesser place without her calm wisdom.
But why have I shed tears for Steve Jobs? I don't know him. I hardly know any details or facts about his life and yet, here I am, crying for the loss of a man I do not know.
Maybe it's just that I like to think I knew him. I believed he was a visionary–a man of rare genius who could not only lead a team to create phenomenal new things–but treat that team fairly, kindly, and–dare I say it–humanely. That's a rare thing in industry: to care about the people and the product. Maybe care about these things more than the profit. Of course the profit followed for Jobs, but perhaps it was because he place the other things first.
At least that's how it seems on the outside. Who knows? I never knew Steve Jobs. But to all the millions of us who did not know him, he stood for these things and in corporate America that's such a rare thing, it's worth celebrating.
I've read quite a few things about the local food movement but hadn't gotten around to reading Gary Paul Nabhan's Coming Home to Eat until this week. This is one of the books that kicked off the "local foods" movement and got people thinking beyond organic. I mean, organic is great but does it really "save" anything if the organic food is traveling 2000 miles to get to your plate?
Maybe you've come across (or remember) that phrase that feminists used in the 1960s to describe their conversation about women, domesticity, and politics: THE HOME IS POLITICAL.
Well, the same can be said of food. EVERYTHING YOU PUT IN YOUR MOUTH IS POLITICAL.
I love it when my students tell me that they can't participate (or write a paper) about a political topic because they aren't political. I suppose they mean that they don't know anything about politics, don't keep up with politics, and maybe not even vote.
I find this laughable because every time they open their mouths to eat or drink, they are making a political choice. Our current food system is highly politicized–controlled by a handful of large corporations who have invested heavily in the politicians in office. They own large parts of the government, continuing to control a food system upon which the majority of the population has become dependent.
But what if you want to break out? Break away from the industrialized food system? That, certainly, is a political decision, as well as one based on choices of health, finances, or morals.
Nabhan argues that you can break out–but it isn't easy. Packaged, processed foods are so easy and ubiquitous. If you want to do this, you are going to be labeled a weirdo and made to feel bad. But stick with it. While you are enjoying good health and more money in your pocket, your name-calling friends will be waiting in line at the doctor's office.
"What if each of us, day by day, fully fathomed where our food comes from, historically, ecologically, geographically, genetically? What would it be like if each of us recognized all the other lives connected to our own through the simple act of eating? What if we understood which other specifies were regenerated, and which were contaminated or destroyed by what we choose to eat, by our care or by our carelessness? The way we garden, gather, fish, or forage can be a communion, or it can become an ecological calamity. The more we understand where our food comes from, the greater the change there is that we can save the living riches of the natural world." pg. 163.
As a side note: Nabhan wrote this while living in the southwest and he'd scavenge for wild foods frequently. In particular, he talks about Mesquite bean flour and prickly pear. I wish he'd gone into more detail here–descriptions for how and when to harvest and how to process. He talks about doing it but provides no directions or instructions. So I'll be digging deeper into this because we specialize in Mesquite and prickly pear cactus on our farm right now. Not because we've chosen to but because that's what nature has given us. If you are processing either of these right now, get in touch–I'd love to know how you are doing this!
One of the things I'm doing to fill the time while I'm waiting for this house to sell is to learn as much as I can about farming and raising livestock. Since I'm still not sure what we'll be doing with our farm, I figure I'll try and get in as much experience as I can in the broadest swath possible.
That led me to volunteering at Latte Da Dairy, an award-winning farmstead cheesery not too far from where we live. The owner, Anne Jones, kindly agreed to let me come out and work for part of a day. After a tour of the goats and the cheese-making area, I set to work washing dishes from the previous days cheese making. It was the only moment I felt comfortable and secure in what I was doing, ahem.
Because after dishes and some cheese packaging, we were off to trim the hooves of around 20 goats, ranging in age from a few months to 8 years old. The goats sensed my fear, I suspect, because they'd let me clip one foot and then would protest the other three–often with violent kicks.
But overall, they tolerated my ineptitude and were kind and friendly, as you can see from these two LaManchas wanting to be loved.
I arrived at the dairy about 8:30 and left by 2:30. Anne had already milked 20 goats that morning and started the clean up process. When I left, she was packing to go to a show, preparing a half dozen goats for the trip, along with all their accoutrements. I know she had to milk again that evening, not to mention the dozen or more other jobs she'd do before she wound down her day. Businesswoman, animal care-taker, cheesemaker, dishwasher, land manager. Wow. There's a lot to running a goat dairy/cheesemaking shop.
So when you see that artisan cheese in the shop for $30 a pound, know that the cheese maker isn't even making minimum wage. Buy it, eat it, enjoy it. And think of all the work that goes into that little slice of creamy heaven.
Yep, it's that time again folks. Another year and another Austin City Limits Music Festival. I just want to start out by saying that the ACL folks finally got the bathrooms right. Yep, after ALL THESE YEARS they finally tapped into enough port-a-potties that the lines weren't ever too bad. Way to go guys!
On the flip side, they must have sold way more Saturday and Sunday tickets than usual because Zilker Park was packed. What's up with that? The only place there was a bit of space was the toilet lines. Wow. It must be tough to plan a festival. Somebody like me always complaining. See past ACL posts here and here.
Weather? (it's a constant source of conversation at every ACL). Well, it was near 100% humidity each day we arrived and eventually on all three days it rained, broke the humidity, and cooled off to bearable temps. That was good. And the grass was great, though I'd be willing to bet it was the only swath of green in the entire central part of Texas. We have all been under water restrictions for months–and what for? Clearly it was so that Zilker Park could be watered for this single three-day event. Hmmm. What capitalists will do to make money, huh?
But to the part you want to hear about–the music:
Asleep at the Wheel and Secret Sisters. Great and totally chill.
James Blake. What's up with that? I couldn't quite figure that one out.
Scrillex. Ok–you gotta love this stuff though the teens were a little over the top. Think crowd-crushing.
Randy Newman. Wow. That man blows me away with his lyrics. Too funny but so true.
Stevie Wonder. As good as ever.
Naz and Damien Marley. Ok, I'm a Marley sucker. This show rocked.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The average U.S. rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage rose this week to its highest level in four months but remains low by historical standards.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the rate on the 30-year loan increased to 3.53 percent. That's up from 3.42 percent last week and the first time the rate has exceeded 3.50 percent since September.
The average for the 15-year fixed mortgage advanced to 2.81 percent from 2.71 percent last week.
Mortgage rates tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. It rose to 1.99 percent Thursday, up from 1.85 percent a week ago.
Strong fourth-quarter earnings and positive reports on housing have pushed stocks higher. That lowered demand for Treasurys, considered safe investments.
Even with the increases, mortgage rates remained near historic lows.

I didn't really want to order the Petunia's Southwest Burger at the new Petunia's Silver Jalapeno inside Warehouse Row.
What I wanted to order was the Petunia's Smoked Butt, but since I had that last week, it seemed prudent to order something different. The upshot is I will now have to make a decision the next time I visit.
The Silver Jalapeno is Virginia Cofer's newest creation. There is a sister restaurant in a silver Airstream trailer on Signal Mountain Road.
There are 11 main dishes on the menu and nine side orders, with daily specials also offered. There is a good amount of variety among those items. The fish tacos, which feature grilled fish with roasted pepper sauce, black bean and corn relish, pico de gallo and seasoned cabbage, are a popular item.
Meat lovers can choose from two burgers, chicken wings, the pork sandwich, a chicken sandwich, a chicken quesadilla, a beef hot dog and a turkey dog.
For nonmeat eaters, there is the Quesadilla Salad and a vegetarian burger.
Sides include chips and salsa or queso, chili, coleslaw, vegetarian baked beans, homemade cookies and milkshakes.
The order (for one): Like I said, I've sampled the pork sandwich before, and it is delicious. The baked beans are also very good.
On this visit, I went with the Southwest Burger made with grilled Black Angus beef and covered with guacamole, hot pepper cheese, jalapenos, pico de gallo, lettuce and mayonnaise.
You might think all those extras would overpower the burger, but that was not the case. It was a very tasty and fairly delicate blend that worked well.
It is a good-size sandwich, and care should be taken when eating it. It's a two-fisted affair that will require plenty of napkins.
I got a side of chips and salsa as well. Two people could easily share these. The salsa was very fresh and tasty. It featured chunks of diced tomatoes and had a somewhat sweet flavor, rather than an overly salty one that some salsas can have.
You can also order Coca-Cola served in the smaller bottles and cooled in a vintage-looking cooler.
* Where: Warehouse Row, 1110 Market St.
* Phone: 785-7578.
* Website: www.petuniassilver jalapeno.com.
* Hours: 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Friday.
* Price range: $2.95 (turkey dog)-$8.95 (fish tacos).
* Alcohol: No.
Orders are taken at the counter by a friendly and smiling staff. Cofer usually can be seen back in the kitchen preparing the dishes. When your order is ready, your name is called, and you pick up your foil-wrapped sandwich or Styrofoam-encased dish at the counter.
Plastic cutlery, napkins and a handy wipe are provided then as well, and you will need them.
On this visit, I got mine to go, and everything took just a few minutes.
The Silver Jalapeno is the only restaurant in the food court right now, and that is good and bad. It means there is plenty of seating. It does make the space feel a little empty, though.
The food court has been remodeled, and you have several choices when it comes to dining in. In the upper area, there are now two long maple tables with cafeteria-style seating. Along the outer edge is a long countertop with oak log seating.
Above the area is a very large tree limb suspended from the ceiling.
There are two- and four-top tables in the lower area.
Buying barbecue inside a shopping center would normally be a risky venture, but Cofer knows what she is doing. It's about the food, and the food at Petunia's Silver Jalapeno is good.

BOSTON - A former Pittsfield man was sentenced late yesterday in federal court for his role in a series of frauds and attempts to avoid paying taxes, as well as lying to federal authorities and financial institutions about his illegal activities.
MICHAEL J. ARMITAGE, 56, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Michael A. Ponsor to 66 months in federal prison to be followed by five years of supervised release on three counts of false statements to a federally insured financial institution; three counts of tax evasion; one count of false statements to a federal official; one count of conspiracy, one count of false claims; and one count of endeavoring to obstruct a federal audit. Armitage was ordered to forfeit $24,010, and pay restitution of $1.5 million to the Internal Revenue Service, $191,819 to the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, $4.2 million to the Federal Transit Administration, and $215,138 to the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority. Armitage pleaded guilty in October 2010.
Had the case proceeded to trial, the evidence would have proven that Armitage did not file a single personal federal income tax return between 1993 and 2006 in spite of receiving millions of dollars in income from sources such as Power Development Co. LLC (PDC), an energy company that Armitage founded and controlled. In addition, in 1999, Armitage was required to repay more than $1 million to PDC for money that he had misappropriated, including approximately $340,000 in checks that he had written to himself but fraudulently mislabeled in PDC's check register as payable to others.
From February 2001- April 24, 2006, Armitage executed a scheme to defraud United Bank, located in West Springfield, Mass., in connection with three separate loans. Armitage used or submitted various false or fraudulent documents to perpetrate these fraud schemes, including a 2001 personal financial statement that omitted any debts owed to the IRS or to PDC and which claimed that his taxes were settled through 1999, and a 2001 personal federal income tax return that he signed and dated but never filed with the IRS.
In addition, between Aug. 20, 2001, and Oct. 18, 2006, Armitage attempted to avoid paying taxes that had been previously assessed for three separate years: 1995, 1996, and 1998. Armitage's efforts to avoid paying taxes for these years included withholding material information from his tax representative; directing his tax representative to contact an IRS Revenue Officer and claim that delinquent returns would be filed, when he did not intend to provide the tax representative with the information to prepare the returns; making materially false statements to an IRS Revenue Officer; purposely withdrawing funds recently deposited in his bank account to maintain a low account balance; diverting payments due to himself to other accounts, including his wife's bank account, the bank account of another company that he controlled, and an escrow account belonging to another person; and using funds from an account that he controlled to pay credit cards issued in his name, all to conceal income and avoid collection.
In another scheme, from Nov. 30, 2004, through at least July 5, 2006, Armitage conspired with co-defendants EV Worldwide, LLC (EVW), a company that he controlled, and Christopher Willson, another executive of EVW, to defraud the Federal Transit Administration. They did this by submitting false, fraudulent, and fictitious invoices for payment through the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority as part of a federal research grant into an electric bus and battery project. These invoices falsely claimed that the Federal Transit Administration's share of the project costs did not exceed the maximum 50%, as well as sought reimbursement for fictitious, inflated or ineligible expenses, and/or falsely claimed that certain milestone achievements warranted payment of EVW Worldwide's claimed expenses. Through the fraudulent invoices, Armitage, Willson, and EVW received $703,097 to which they were not entitled, and used this money for their own benefit as well as the benefit of another company that Armitage and Willson founded in Canada. After the Department of Transportation, Office of Inspector General commenced an audit in 2006, Armitage repeatedly lied to and attempted to obstruct the auditors.
Willson, who was previously convicted by a jury in June 2011 on one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and to commit wire fraud, six counts of wire fraud and four counts of false claims, is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 29 at 2:30 pm.
U.S. Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz; Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Criminal Division; William P. Offord, Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation - Boston Field Office; and Theodore L. Doherty III, Special Agent in Charge of the New England Regional Office of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of Inspector General, made the announcement today. The Defense Contract Audit Agency also assisted with the investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven H. Breslow of Ortiz's Springfield Branch Office and Senior Litigation Counsel William M. Welch II of the Justice Department's Criminal Division; and Trial Attorneys Kevin Driscoll and Edward J. Loya, Jr. of the Criminal Division's Public Integrity Section.

Grayson county commissioners aren't closing the book on public libraries after all. While many were worried library funding would be completely cut off on Monday the county went from funding six libraries to nine.
The Sherman Library hasn't been funded by the county for a couple of years but now they're back on the list.
This afternoon wall to wall library supporters were facing the commissioners pleading with them to continue showing support for public libraries in the county by providing each of them 2,000 dollars a year.
The money allows county residents free access to local libraries.
Whitesboro asked for 2,600 dollars and Sherman requested to be added to the funding list. In the end commissioners granted every library their wish.
The newest county libraries, Tom Bean and Gunter will also begin receiving funding.
Sherman will receive the same amount as Whitesboro, 2,600 dollars. They are the largest libraries in the county.
That leaves the county spending nearly 7,000 dollars more on libraries this year than last.

The American Civil Liberties Union on Monday said it has joined a lawsuit against Indian Prairie School District 204 on behalf of students who are suing the school district after one student was prohibited from wearing a T-shirt that read, "Be Happy, Not Gay."
It's no surprise that the ACLU would take a position in favor of free speech. The group is no stranger to taking unpopular positions, after all (remember when it sided with Neo-Nazis and their right to demonstrate?) But isn't it ironic that the group most often associated with far left-leaning liberals should in this case take a stand on behalf of what some paint as a conservative Christian cause?

A Beloit woman was seriously injured after she struck a tree while driving, police said.

According to the report, the 53-year-old driver, a woman from Beloit, appeared to have suffered a medical emergency while driving.
The woman's four-door Buick was headed north on Highway 51 when it crossed over the center line into oncoming traffic, almost caused a head-on collision and went off the road, hitting a tree, police said.
According to the report, the woman sustained serious injuries and was flown to a hospital in Rockford, Ill.
The Town of Beloit Fire Department and paramedics from the City of Beloit also responded, the report noted.
Police said the name of the driver was not released for medical privacy concerns and no citations were issued.

FORT WAYNE – A New Haven man convicted last year of taking money from City Utilities drop boxes is now charged with stealing from city parking meters.
Jason O. Lane, 40, is charged with burglary, receiving stolen property and theft, accused of taking more than $10,000 from city parking meters.
In mid-April, the city's parking control department noticed a key to parking meter change boxes was missing and shortly thereafter collections were less than usual, according to a probable cause affidavit.
A couple of months later, police found Lane about 1 a.m. Monday near downtown.
He had a large amount of coins on him and matched the description of the person caught on video breaking into the parking control department, according to the affidavit.
Lane, of the 5400 block of Old Maumee Road, told police he stole the key to the change boxes and would empty them every few days.
Police said the total loss to the city from the recent parking meter thefts was more than $10,000.
He was being held Thursday in lieu of $15,000 bail.
Lane was also arrested in February 2013 after security cameras recorded him prying open a City Utilities drop box and stealing envelopes on two occasions, many with cash payments.
He received a four-year prison sentence from the theft cases related to those crimes, but court archives did not say whether he served the sentence behind bars or with a local community corrections program.

Based on the popular video game Persona 4, this manga tells the story of Souji Seta and his time in Inaba with his family and new friends. Amid the new experiences that the rural town has to offer, a mysterious string of murders starts to occur as Souji and his classmates are slowly wrapped in the case as they discover the truth.
Souji Seta rides a train to Inaba as he laments on how he has to move once more because of his parents work schedule. Souji is used to all the transfers he has had to go through in his life from school to school and this time will be no different as he will be staying the year with his uncle on his mother's side who lives in her hometown. Once he arrives at the station, his uncle and his cousin, Ryotaro and Nanako Dojima, greet him. Ryotaro tries to welcome him but Souji has his own policy in that simply stay away from people since he will be gone in a year anyway. Only get as close as you need to.
Ryotaro tries to get him to lighten up as he wants Souji to feel welcome in their home like family; that and his formal attitude is making Nanako feel uncomfortable. They stop at a gas station to fill up as the gas station attendant notices Souji and makes pleasantries with him while filling up Ryotaro's van. The two talk while Nanako and Ryotaro are busy as the gas station attendant predicts that Souji will make a fair amount of friends and have a great time in Inaba, even going as far as to offer him a part time job at the station. Souji shakes hand with the attendant and suddenly feels light headed. Nanako worries that he may be sick but he chalks it up to being tired.
It is shown that the year that Souji will spend in Inaba will be full of mystery as a series of murders and kidnappings are about to take place and as a result, he will make good friends that will in the end, be irreplaceable.
Souji dreams about a mysterious white dungeon where a shadowy figure goads him into following and fighting him. The shadow notes Souji's skills but claims he has quite a lot to learn before he can defeat him. He claims that the two will meet once more as Souji wakes up from his lucid dream. He remembers that he moved in the other day and should get home early to unpack his stuff. Downstairs, he finds that Nanako made breakfast and will escort him to his new high school since its on the same way as the middle school. Elsewhere in town, Ryotaro and his partner Tohru Adachi are looking into a bizarre murder.
At Yasogami High School, Yosuke Hanamura is lamenting about his bike ride to school in the rain as Chie Satonaka pokes fun at his misery. The class settles down as their homeroom teacher, Kinshiro Morooka, rudely introduces Souji as a miscreant from the city who is some sort of fugitive. Souji tries to be polite and introduce himself but Morooka continues to chastise him. Chie comments how Yosuke is also from the city and invites Souji to sit next to her in an empty desk in the classroom.
