The Orange Leader
A local rock outfit is closing out 2012 in style.
Jenny and the Reincarnation will celebrate the end of 2012 and the arrival of the new year with a CD release party on Monday night at Tequila Rok on Crockett Street in Beaumont. Admission is $5 at the door, but a street pass, which allows access into multiple venues on Crockett Street, is also available for $25. Special guests include We Were Wolves, Octopoodle and Crystal Cloud.
The band is releasing its four-song EP, "Komodo" and thought New Year's Eve would make the perfect backdrop.
"It was mostly good timing on having the CD release party on New Year's Eve," admitted vocalist Jenny Carson. "It just fell right into place."
Jenny and the Reincarnation can trace its origins back to 2010 when guitarist and keyboardist Kurt Scoggins of Port Neches and Beaumont drummer McGarrity Stanley starting jamming with Carson, who is also from Beaumont.
"Those two have been playing together since they had braces and bad pre-teen attitudes," Carson said with a laugh. "I started getting into trouble with them through a mutual friend and we took the gravy train from there."
The band, which also features new bassist Jordan Wright of Nederland, has a variety of influences, which is obvious considering Carson's background as a vocalist. Although many people may recognize her as just one-third of the singing sirens known as Mad Maude and the Hatters, Carson is a very diverse vocalist.
"If someone only knows me through Mad Maude and the Hatters, then they have a lot to learn about me," she added. "People can expect a lot of heart and soul to come out of me no matter who I perform with. Those roots are deeper than any genre of music. I would describe the Reincarnation as big. It's entertaining, energetic, psychedelic even, but most of all it's big. And all of it is original."
Carson said the Pixies album "Doolittle" was a huge influence on her, which she described as "perfection," and set the bar for her as a vocalist and musician. She also cited the "Godfather of Soul," James Brown, as a huge inspiration.
Wright said his brothers Chris and John Frusciante have influenced him greatly, while Stanley cited drummer Steven Drozd of the Flaming Lips as an influence. Scoggins biggest inspiration is Paul McCartney.
The new disc was recorded by Drew Haught of We Were Wolves at The Shrimp Shack, a studio owned by a friend of the band, David Dishman. The recording, which features original bassist and still "close friend" of the band Tyler Thibodeaux, only took a handful of days to complete.
"My favorite thing about 'Komodo' is how it all flows together," Carson continued. "We're really proud of that and we have James Faust (The Ramblin' Boys) to thank for it. The CD art is incredible too, and we can't thank David Dishman enough."
Carson said she and the band feel positive about the new year and are excited for not only Monday's CD release party, but for what is ahead in the coming year.
"I think 2013 is going to be a good year for the Reincarnation," Carson explained. "We have a new bass player, so we are feeling pretty fresh. People who come to this show will see what we have been working on and why we feel this way.
"It's New Year's Eve, and we want to celebrate. We want people to feel free to dress for the occasion too. It's going to be a night of merriment and rock and roll," she added. And did we mention there is going to be a lot of confetti?"

Competent, hard-working
TO THE EDITOR: On Nov. 5, I will be voting for the most qualified candidate for Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley.
Above and beyond her qualifications and ability as supervisor and chief financial officer, she possesses other attributes that should also be considered.
Margaret has a great love and knowledge of out town's history, to which those who have attended her many slide shows at the museum and various churches over the years can attest.
The number of hours she spends volunteering and participating in town events is unmatched. Many of us are thankful to both Margaret and her husband, Harry, for the many days they spent tirelessly helping us in cleaning up after Hurricane Irene.
These actions paint a picture of someone whose heart and soul are focused on her community. Actions speak louder than words, and these actions speak volumes about this woman's commitment to Elizabethtown.
This commitment came long before her election, is ongoing during her term and will continue long after she is out of public office.
Some former officials drop out of sight after an election, and virtually disappear, never to be seen participating in or volunteering at any town function, but they pop up again when it's time to run for office. It begs the questions: Is their candidacy prompted by self-interest? Or the public interest and that of our town?
I urge you to vote for a competent, hard-working, hands-on leader for our town. Vote to re-elect Margaret Bartley, Elizabethtown supervisor.
Rowden support
TO THE EDITOR: It has been my privilege to serve as a Clinton County legislator for the past 13 years, and I end my final term this year with much hope for the future.
The Clinton County Legislature is in a unique position of finding common interests among the municipalities in our area. It provides countywide services, administers a sales tax that continues to be strong and administers an airport that is growing beyond expectations.

The Druid Complex, the vacant building next to Clearwater High School, needs $4.8 million in renovations, according to a site analysis accepted by the Pinellas County School Board last week.
But that survey won't be used to help officials make future repairs to the existing building.
Rather, the review also allows the district to reclassify the building so it can be destroyed and a new facility can be constructed.
Estimates for the demolition are still being accepted, and a cost estimate is not yet available. A time frame has not been determined, either.
Demolishing the building is a priority because operational costs are still associated with the building even though it is vacant, said Michael Bessette, a Pinellas County Schools superintendent for facilities and operations.
Eventually, the site will be used to expand Clearwater High School's parking and to improve the school's bus ramp.
This project comes in the wake of sweeping budget cuts this summer that have left many educators jobless.
As the process moves forward, it likely will draw attention from critics concerning whether or not the expenditure is wise in a time when the district is strapped for cash and pinching pennies. School officials are not ignorant to that dilemma.
"We're very aware of the visual of building when we are in budget cuts," Bessette said. "But you can't neglect your assets, and (the project) comes from different funds."
The money for the demolition and eventual rebuild of the Druid Complex as part of Clearwater High School will be paid for through capital funds. That money can be for infrastructure projects such as maintenance and new construction.
During the school board's May 26 meeting, more than 400 jobs were on the chopping block. Although certain library and STARS positions were saved, more than 300 jobs were still cut. And other school employees will now be subject to furloughs.
During the June 14 meeting, board member Robin Wikle also made comment on public perception of expenditures. She said that while they know certain funds come from other entities, the public may think it is coming from the district's budget.
As more is revealed about this project, it may fall subject to negative perceptions. Officials hope that the public will recognize the need to continue growth and management of existing facilities.
"Capital funds have been reduced significantly, so we are very, very careful to use them for only necessary projects," Bessette said. "This project will start when we are able to fit it in the budget."
For now, the Druid Complex will continue to sit vacant until more plans materialize. Bessette estimates that work will not commence for at least another year.

PROPOSED RULE--Funding and Fiscal Affairs, Loan Policies and Operations, and Funding Operations; Cumulative Voting--12 CFR Part 615
Issue Date:
Federal Register Cite:
12 CFR Part 615
Funding and Fiscal Affairs, Loan Policies and Operations, and Funding Operations; Cumulative Voting
Proposed rule.
Section 615.5230 of Farm Credit Administration (FCA) Regulations provides for cumulative voting by shareholders in the election of Farm Credit Bank (FCB) directors and requires the unanimous consent of the voting shareholders to eliminate such cumulative voting. The FCA proposes to amend § 615.5230(a)(2) to provide that an FCB may eliminate cumulative voting in director elections with the consent of 75 percent of the bank's voting shareholders, instead of the currently required unanimous consent.
Written comments must be received on or before May 27, 1997.
Comments may be mailed or delivered to Patricia W. DiMuzio, Director, Regulation Development Division, Office of Policy Development and Risk Control, 1501 Farm Credit Drive, McLean, VA, 22102-5090 or sent by facsimile transmission to FAX number (703) 734-5784. Comments may also be submitted via electronic mail to "email@example.com".
Copies of all communications received will be available for examination by interested parties in the Office of Policy Development and Risk Control, Farm Credit Administration.
Gaylon J. Dykstra, Policy Analyst, Office of Policy Development and Risk Control, Farm Credit Administration, McLean, VA 22102-5090, (703) 883-4498;
Rebecca S. Orlich, Senior Attorney, Office of General Counsel, Farm Credit Administration, McLean, VA 22102-5090, (703) 883-4020, TDD (703) 883-4444.
The FCA has received petitions from Farm Credit System (System) institutions and from an association board member in the Texas district requesting revision of the requirement of unanimous consent of an FCB's shareholders to eliminate the cumulative voting requirement for the election of directors set forth in § 615.5230(a)(2)(ii). The petitioners stated their belief that the provision is unduly burdensome and that the requirement for cumulative voting, which was intended to make the election of bank directors fairer for smaller associations, actually provided questionable benefits. The petitioners contended that cumulative voting works most effectively in situations where the entire board of directors is elected each year, or at least where the board is relatively large and several positions are open for election each year, and they noted that these situations are relatively rare in the System. The petitioners stated that cumulative voting was almost impossible to change and requested revision of the regulation to enable a bank to eliminate cumulative voting with the consent of either a simple majority or a two-thirds' majority of the shareholders.
Cumulative voting as discussed in the context of the present regulation relates only to the election of FCB directors by the owner associations and occurs only when more than one director position is being filled. Section 615.5230 was promulgated in 1988 to accommodate structural changes in the System effected by the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987. When the regulations were [*20132] proposed, the FCA provided for a continuation of the existing practice of weighted voting in the election of FCB directors. In weighted voting, an association is entitled to cast as many votes as there are voting shareholders in the association. In response to an association comment on the 1988 proposed rule that this method of voting "may deprive small associations of any voice in the affairs of its bank if the district is dominated by a large district-wide association," the FCA retained weighted voting in the final regulation but also provided for cumulative voting unless each association, as a shareholder of the FCB, consents to eliminate it.
The explanation in the preamble of the final regulations for adding cumulative voting states:
To respond to the concerns that smaller associations would be disadvantaged [by weighted voting], the final regulation requires the bank to allow cumulative voting unless each association agrees otherwise, which will allow small associations a greater opportunity to place a director on the board.
, 40038 (October 13, 1988).
Unanimous consent to eliminate cumulative voting was required to assure that cumulative voting could be eliminated only with the consent of all of the associations that the provision was designed to protect. In addition, it assured that no single large association could defeat a protection for minority shareholders.
Associations in all FCB districts are currently permitted to cumulate their votes (which would otherwise be cast as a weighted vote for the preferred candidate in each open director position) to support only one director, if desired. Thus, if an association were entitled to cast 300 shares to vote for three director positions (a weighted vote of 300 representing 100 shareholders multiplied by three open director positions), it could choose to vote 100 shares for its preferred candidate in each director position, or, at the association's discretion, it could cumulate its votes and cast 300 shares for its preferred candidate in one director position or distribute its 300 shares in any combination among the preferred candidates in any of the open director positions.
The structure of the System has changed since 1988; currently there are no single large associations that dominate an entire district. Based on present circumstances, the FCA believes that the importance of requiring unanimous consent to eliminate cumulative voting is less compelling. However, the FCA continues to believe that cumulative voting provides important protection to minority interests and, consequently, that this voting method should be subject to elimination only by a supermajority. The FCA believes that a two-thirds' majority, as suggested by many petitioners, may not be a great enough supermajority to provide that protection. In addition, in some districts there are different types of associations that may favor different bank policies, and one type of association may have substantially more votes than other types. The FCA proposes to amend the existing requirement to permit an FCB to eliminate cumulative voting by a 75-percent majority but requests comment on the appropriateness of this level.
The FCA considered whether to provide for the elimination of cumulative voting on a weighted-vote basis, rather than according each association one vote, since weighted voting is the basis for all other shareholder votes. However, the Agency decided to propose a one-association, one-vote requirement because small associations will have a greater say in the decision to eliminate cumulative voting if their votes are given the same value as large associations.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Associated Press
CHICAGO — Marc Gasol scored 19 points, Zach Randolph had 13 points and 19 rebounds, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Chicago Bulls 85-82 in overtime on Saturday night.
Memphis scored the first six points of the extra period, Gasol's putback making it 82-76. The Bulls cut it to 83-80 on Jimmy Butler's layup and had a chance to tie, but Nate Robinson missed a 3-pointer with 25 seconds left.
Robinson made a layup with 6.6 seconds left, but Jerryd Bayless scored with 4.8 seconds remaining to make it 85-82. Carlos Boozer missed a 3 as time expired.
Chicago, playing its third consecutive overtime game in four days, didn't have enough in overtime. The Bulls played without forward Luol Deng and had to fight back from a 17-point, third-quarter deficit.
Jimmy Butler, starting in place of Deng, scored a career-high 18 points and Boozer added 17 as the Bulls had a three-game winning streak. The Bulls shot just 3 for 10 in overtime.
Robinson banked in a 3 with 1:33 left in regulation to give Chicago a 75-72 lead, then Gasol scored four consecutive points to get Memphis the lead back at 75-74. Marco Belinelli split a pair of free throws to tie the game at 76 with 31.4 seconds to play. After Randolph missed an 18-footer with 4.9 seconds left, Robinson missed a 21-footer as time expired, sending the game into overtime.
After trailing by 17 early in the third quarter, the Bulls cut it to five early in the fourth quarter, but Memphis quickly answered. Tony Allen made a pair of free throws and Mike Conley had a steal and layup to make it 64-55 with 9:30 left before the Bulls rallied.
Memphis has won two straight after dropping three in a row.
Rudy Gay finished with 16 points and Conley had 13 points and nine assists.
Trailing 30-25 midway through the second quarter, the Grizzlies scored 13 unanswered points to take a 38-30 lead with 1:57 left in the half. Gay scored six straight points in the span.
Memphis led 44-34 at the half. Conley scored 10 points in the half and Gasol had nine. Boozer and Joakim Noah led the Bulls with 10 points apiece. Chicago was just 5-for-18 shooting in the second quarter and committed six turnovers.
After Boozer's basket opened up the third quarter, Allen capped off an 8-0 run with a dunk to extend the lead to 52-36. Gay's jumper gave Memphis a 54-37 lead, its largest of the game.
Randolph, who missed Friday's win over Sacramento with a sore back, played 41 minutes.
Deng, averaging a team-high 17.4 points, tried to play through a sore right hamstring in Friday's overtime win at Boston but scored a season-low three points on 1-of-6 shooting before aggravating the injury and exiting late in the third quarter.
Warriors 116, Hornets 112
NEW ORLEANS — Klay Thompson had a season-high 29 points, Jarrett Jack scored seven of his 25 in the final minute and the Golden State Warriors beat the New Orleans Hornets.
The Warriors trailed 110-108 in a topsy-turvy game when Jack hit two free throws with 52 seconds left to tie the score. He converted a tough floater to give Golden State a 112-110 lead, and he finished off the Hornets with three free throws.
Thompson scored 24 in the first half as the Warriors led by as much as 16. Jack, who played for the Hornets last season, added 12 assists. Stephen Curry, returning after missing two games with a right ankle sprain, had 17 of his 20 points in the second half.
New Orleans struggled on its final possessions. Eric Gordon missed an open shot that would have broken a 110-all tie. Jason Smith was called for an illegal screen when they trailed 112-110. Greivis Vasquez missed a 3-point shot that would have tied the score at 113.
Gordon scored 23 points for the Hornets, who lost despite shooting a season-high 57 percent. Rookie Anthony Davis added 20 points and 12 rebounds.
The Warriors, who had lost five of six after a 22-10 start, won despite the absence of center David Lee, who missed his first game of the season after spraining his left ankle on Friday against San Antonio. The Hornets lost for only the second time in eight games after a 7-25 start.
Kings 97, Bobcats 93
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Marcus Thornton scored 18 points off the bench, Tyreke Evans came up big down the stretch, and the Sacramento Kings held on to beat the Charlotte Bobcats for their third win in four games.
After scoring just 69 points in a 16-point loss to Memphis a night earlier, the Kings made sure there would be not be another offensive letdown.
They led most of the way but needed a late burst from Evans, who scored six of the team's last nine points in the final four minutes.
Evans finished with 16 points. DeMarcus Cousins added 17 points and 10 rebounds, and James Johnson chipped in with nine points and nine rebounds for the Kings (16-25).
Kemba Walker had a chance to tie the game but shot an airball on a 3-point attempt with 3 seconds left as Charlotte lost its 14th straight game at home. Walker had 14 points and 10 assists.
Ramon Sessions scored 16 points for Charlotte (10-30) while Gerald Henderson chipped in with 15.
The Kings led most of the game and took a 78-76 lead into the fourth quarter.
After being on the verge of taking the lead most of the quarter, the Bobcats finally jumped ahead with 3:35 left on a transition layup by Henderson off a nice feed from Walker.
The Bobcats had a chance to push the lead to four but were called for a shot clock violation at the worst time possible.
Evans tied the game with a pair of free throws on the other end.
Both teams went more than two minutes during an ugly stretch of turnover-filled basketball before Evans took advantage of Hakim Warrick's turnover and scored an easy layup on a fast break for a 92-90 lead with 1:19 left in the game to put the Kings ahead for good.
After Warrick missed a turnaround layup, Evans scored again inside on a spin move to make it 94-90.
A three-point play by Sessions cut the Sacramento lead to one with 40 seconds left, but Isaiah Thomas pushed the lead 96-93 with a pair of free throws with 18.4 seconds left.
The Bobcats set up for a 3-point shot, but Walker missed everything on a play that never developed. Thomas put the game away by making the second of his two free throws with 2.4 seconds left.
The Bobcats came in having finally earned their 10th win over the season — three more than last season — on Friday night at Orlando. But the Kings used a 10-2 start to start to build a 51-46 at halftime lead behind Thornton's 12 points off the bench.
Spurs 98, Hawks 93
ATLANTA — Tony Parker had 23 points and 12 assists, and the San Antonio Spurs held off the short-handed Atlanta Hawks for their fourth straight victory.
Matt Bonner added 17 points, and Kawhi Leonard and Tiago Splitter each had 14 for the Spurs.
The Hawks announced about 90 minutes before the game that guard Lou Williams faces season-ending surgery for a torn ACL in his right knee. Williams was hurt Friday at Brooklyn and the tear was found when Williams was examined on Saturday by Dr. Michael Bernot in Atlanta.
Then the Hawks lost guard Devin Harris to a sprained left ankle in the third quarter.
Josh Smith led the Hawks with 21 points. Kyle Korver, who started at shooting guard, had 19 points.
Spurs forward Tim Duncan was not in uniform as he was given the night off by coach Gregg Popovich.
The Spurs led by 12 in the first half but Atlanta kept the game close in the final two periods. A basket by Hawks rookie John Jenkins tied the game at 72-all early in the final period, but Bonner's basket gave San Antonio the lead for good.
Jenkins made two free throws with 22 seconds remaining to cut the Spurs' lead to 94-91, but San Antonio beat the Hawks' full-court press for an easy basket by Splitter.
Hawks coach Larry Drew called Williams' injury "devastating." Williams was third on the team with his average of 14.1 points.
Even though Williams usually came off the bench, his injury affected Drew's starting lineup. Korver started instead of Harris because Drew said he wasn't comfortable having both his healthy point guards — Harris and Teague — in the lineup.
Harris was helped off the court and immediately taken to the locker room early in the third period after he turned his left ankle. The Hawks listed Harris as questionable to return, but he didn't make it back to the bench after having the ankle taped.
Al Horford had nine points and 15 rebounds for Atlanta after missing Friday's loss with a sore left hamstring.
Bonner made all of his three 3-point attempts in the first half as the Spurs led 52-42 at the break. Korver had three 3-pointers in the half for Atlanta.
The Hawks had a strong start to the second half and took a 61-60 lead after Smith drove past Boris Diaw on the baseline. Diaw answered with a basket to start an 8-0 run for the Spurs, who led 72-70 entering the final period.

I find U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud's town hall policy akin to a parking meter: A quarter goes in and Nancy Pelosi takes your place.
Michaud's mission was jobs, but he surrendered to Pelosi to work for bailouts, cap and trade, raising taxes to pay for outrageous spending and approving Obamacare when the cost-saving fabrication was only about one-sixth completed.
Interest in Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Congress and ACORN, at the heart of the nation's financial woes, has been diverted for a show of flogging Wall Street, all for the news media.
There is an open door for constituents in Jason Levesque. He clearly speaks of fiscal discipline, reasonable reforms, the U.S. Constitution, states' rights and smaller, effective federal government.
Accountability rests in the public's vote. When Michaud speaks, Pelosi's words come out.
We don't need a career "Yes, Ma'am" puppet.
Maine and the nation need Jason Levesque.

On the night of the full moon, the moon rises at sunset. This creates a short window of time where the last warm rays of the fading sunset mingle with the cool light of the rising moon. The bright area in the sky between the precariously raised trailers and joshua tree is the moon, which was partially obscured by clouds. An exposure time of two minutes ensured the moon didn't move too much, and still allowed for nice cloud movement. Instead of the typical night photography color temperature of 3500-4000K, this image was processed at 5700K to best simulate how the lighting looked at the time.
2 thoughts on "Night photography: Moonrise over Howard's"
and well done it is. Why 5700, or was it adjusted in lightroom to suit your eye?

I love this recipe, very easy to make. Did the whole cooking on the stovetop, made into only 5 cakes so they all fit in the pan at once. After I browned one side I lovered the temp and put on a lid and cooked through about 20 min. Also made with oatmeal instead of breadcrumbs and we ate it with no fat Chobani Greek yogurt to dip.This yogurt is thick and perfect for dipping, no spices needed.
Easy Salmon Cakes
From EatingWell: Winter 2004, EatingWell Serves Two, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)
If you are trying to boost your intake of omega-3s, try this simple favorite. It is a great way to use convenient canned (or leftover) salmon. The tangy dill sauce provides a tart balance.
113 Reviews for Easy Salmon Cakes
Similar to an old recipe given me by my grandmother many years ago--only you make your own breadcrumbs from any left over bread, or used crushed crackers, It is good without all the additional ingredients if one is in a hurry-just egg, crumbs, drizzle olive oil on hot skillet- fry for a min on each side, Yummy--- you really cannot hurt this by whatever you add to the major three things-the salmon, the thickener (cracker or bread crumbs) and egg--you just cannot mess it up ! Easy, economical, good for you and everybody always ate every bite (because they wanted to !) :)
We loved this recipe. I used a 15 oz can of salmon. Did not bother to remove bones or skin. Just mashed them into the salmon until they disappeared. I decided not to spend extra money buying the parsley and just used dill which I had purchased for the sauce. I am gluten intolerant so I decided to use quinoa (3/4 cup) instead of the bread crumbs,and increased the number of eggs to 2. I followed the directions however I would not cook them for 20 min next time (more like 12 - 15. I also would not pan fry first. I would just pop them in the oven.
I generally hate fish but found this to be exceptionally good!!!
Don't let all the steps fool you... it is very easy and very delish !! I double the recipe so that I have leftovers to eat with a Salad the next day for lunch... I don't use all the bread because I use a very coarse bread.. Don't forget the Dill Sauce.... Yummy !!
My husband and I make this at least once a week. We make it very budget-friendly by not using the fresh herbs (or dill sauce) and extra healthy by using quick-cooking oats instead of the bread crumbs and adding Swiss Chard to the veggie mixture. Last week, we even made it without an egg (because we were out) and just added 1 tablespoon of German mustard. Yum! We both agreed it was delicious and we'll make it that way from now on. Such a a wonderful, versatile recipe!

It seems to me that in recent times cats have become the internet celebrities of the animal kingdom. Obvious examples like the famous Grumpy Cat, aka, Tardar Sauce, with his own line of books, t-shirts and plush toys, the video of a cat saving a little boy from a dog attack that quickly went viral, and whole blogs devoted to the weird and cute world of cats have proven that most of us have gone officially cat crazy.
I admit, I am also one of those guilty of ailurophilia (a love of cats). If like me, you can't get enough of anything cat related, why not peel yourself away from the infnite scroll of the internet and dip into some literary fiction about these lovely creatures?
I always think of cats as mysterious creatures who tend to treat us humans with some aloofness. Soseki Natsume's novel, I Am a Cat, hilariously imagines what exactly cats think about us. Set in Meiji era Japan, the novel follows a cat who spends most of his time observing human nature, making wisecracks on what he sees as the clear inferiority and silliness of humans, and in general providing amusing stories of the activities going on around him. One of the more humorous bits in the novel:
This must have been the very first time that ever I set eyes on a human being. The impression of oddity, which I then received, still remains today. First of all, the face that should be decorated with hair is as bald as a kettle. Since that day I have met many a cat but never have I come across such deformity.
This must have been the very first time that ever I set eyes on a human being. The impression of oddity, which I then received, still remains today. First of all, the face that should be decorated with hair is as bald as a kettle. Since that day I have met many a cat but never have I come across such deformity.
I consider The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide, a book recently added to the Library's collection, as a little gem of a novel. A New York Times bestseller, and a bestseller in France, The Guest Cat is about two writers, a young couple, who become friends with a neighbor's cat. One day, the cat they name Chibi, visits them. Eventually, she makes their little cottage a second home and over time Chibi tints their lives with happiness and light. Like a cat, Hiraide's novel has a relaxing charm and grace to it in its quietness. A novel about love and loss, and the everyday brief lovely moments of life, The Guest Cat is one of those rare books that stay with you over time.
Other great reads for cat lovers:

If you were to ask me what my favourite books of all time were, my answers would be predictable with a mix of surprises thrown in for good measure. I find that many of my most pleasurable reading experiences involved books that came as surprises, books that should be considered classics and yet for some reason missed reaching a mass audience.
Another fellow library staff person recently wrote about the book Stoner by John Wiliams, a novel that I had read many years ago and loved. I remember thinking at the time, "why has no one heard of this book?" To my delight, the book is now getting the attention it deserves, reaching bestseller status all over Europe.
Stoner is one of many books published by New York Review Books as part of its Classics series. You can browse the New York Review Books Classics collection on their website and the Calgary Public Library owns many titles in the series. Just do a general search for "New York Review books classics" in the Library's catalog to find all the titles we have in the collection.
At the moment I am reading The World I Live In by Helen Keller, a title that had been out of print for nearly a century before NYRB decided to publish it again. Helen Keller was an American author and was the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of arts degree. Many people may know of her biography from the play and film, "The Miracle Worker".
Born in 1880 as a healthy child, Helen was mysteriously struck by an illness over a year later that left her deaf and blind. It was not until five years later that she was released from her despair by a 21 year old half-blind teacher, Anne Sullivan. It was then that Helen learned how to communicate through the use of the manual alphabet.
I found The World I Live In to be extremely personal and inspiring and more than anything, the essays in the book showcase Helen's gift for writing. In the book, she explains to readers the emotional and psychological link between language and the spectrum of senses that she uses to navigate the world around her.
What I love most about the NYRB Classics series is its diversity. The collection includes translations of masters such as Dante, Chekhov, and Balzac, works spanning geography, eras, and genres including fiction, cult favorites, literary criticism, travel writing, biography and even cookbooks! If you are on the hunt for a lost classic, then consider the NYRB Classics series as your guide. I certainly do, and find myself looking to their list whenever I am in need of something less ordinary.
So I've been on this pretty major dystopian fiction kick. It's an on-going theme – storylines beginning in the not too distant future when the environment has crumbled under the weight of humankind, the government has become a totalitarian regime and the protagonists are hell-bent on revolution. My recent obsession started with The Hunger Games, a wildly popular trilogy by YA author Suzanne Collins that's presently being developed into a series of huge blockbuster films. I devoured (ha, ha) the books in a matter of days and became so invested in the characters' fight for survival that I felt a little lost when the story ended. Immediately, I began scavenging for more books within the genre and found America Pacifica, the debut novel from author Anna North.
America Pacifica is one of many in a genre of dystopian futures. In this book, North introduces us to Darcy, a young woman who lives in the grim replica of North America located on a small island in the South Pacific Ocean called "America Pacifica". Overcrowded and divided by the unequal distribution of wealth, the island is dissolving into the sea from toxic pollution and on the verge of civil war. Our heroine, Darcy, works as a cook and nurse's aide at World Experiences, a retirement residence for the island's first inhabitants, and is completely ambivalent to the problems of the island. That is, until her mother disappears and Darcy's safe and private world is thrown into a tailspin.
The novel follows Darcy's desperate search for her mother through the island's most troubled districts where she is acutely suspicious of everyone she meets. The small world she had come to know as a child dangerously expands to include mute nuns with talking parrots, circus folk with missing limbs, bug-eyed solvent addicts and rich kids with too much free time. There are very few acts of kindness in this world and Darcy quickly learns that everything comes at a severe emotional, financial and physical cost. As the secrets of her mother's past and disappearance come to light, Darcy finds herself the unwitting heroine of a revolution set to overturn everything she has ever known.
Like The Hunger Games, this book shares a similar character-driven storyline set in a future not terribly far off from our own, where the struggle for freedom is a matter of life or death and survival tests our most vulnerable of human virtues. America Pacifica is a fast-paced and a very quick read, and if you can forgive the author's often long-winded use of dialogue, this novel is a great compliment to other dystopian reads. While some readers may think the genre a bit morbid, I've always appreciated the perspective it gives to our current political, social and environmental climate. If things are bad now, how much worse could it get? While America Pacifica does take a fantastical approach to the imagined fate of North America, at its core I found myself relating to Darcy and her plight, contemplating how I would respond in similar situations. Would I run or would I stay and fight?
I would recommend this book to anyone fascinated by the end of the world. If you enjoyed similar titles such as The Hunger Games, A Handmaid's Tale or 1984, you'll definitely quench your dystopian appetite with America Pacifica.

When She Woke by Hillary Jordan
Oryx & Crake by Margaret Atwood
Children of Men by PD James
In Father of the Rain, Lily King explores why we stay in relationships that seem counterproductive and why we leave them. Daley's father is an alcoholic, a behaviour easily sustained in the heavy-social-drinking small town where he lives. Her mother stays too long with him but does leave and takes Daley with her. As a conflicted daddy's girl, Daley literally and emotionally seesaws between her parents. She never quite abandons one to fully support the other in the never-ending low-scale guerilla war between the two households.
Her older brother left home before his parents split, and he remains emotionally uncommitted to his family despite occasionally paying cursory visits. As an adult, Daley has perfected detachment. Her mother's sudden death causes a rift in Daley's relationship her father, although her father is clueless about the reason for it, even when Daley confronts him with her hurt.
Pursuing anthropology has been successful for Daley, and as the novel opens, she is on her way to UCLA Berkley for a tenured position. But much to the dismay of her devoted lover, Jonathan, she decides to take a brief side-trip to visit her father after many years of alienation.
Daley wants her father to become sober; her father wants Daley to take care of him. So begins a symbiosis that befuddles both Daley's friends and her father's friends. Why has Daley embarked on such a hopeless quest? Why has her father agreed to such socially awkward abstinence in a community that socializes over liquour? And, who will crack first? Because no one but Daley thinks this is going to work.
Over time, community is what saves her, and she learns much about herself as a part of community. By casting Daley as an anthropologist studying children in community, Lily King veils the whole story with a delicate and delightful irony. The deft handling of strained relationships is what makes Father of the Rain such a good novel.

Woman jailed on drug chargeFebruary 18,2013Police said a Rutland woman wanted for failing to appear at her arraignment for crack cocaine possession was in possession of crack cocaine during a traffic stop Friday night.
Shortly before midnight, police stopped Chantelle M. Dewey, 33, on Curtis Avenue after recognizing her and knowing she had an active arrest warrant for not showing up Feb. 11 in Rutland criminal court to answer charges of possessing crack cocaine, narcotics and marijuana, stemming from an incident Dec. 13.
After executing a search warrant on Deweys vehicle Saturday, police allegedly found 5 grams of crack cocaine. Sunday, police located Dewey on State Street and charged her with felony possession of crack cocaine. Police also charged Dewey with violating the conditions of her release on prior charges of unlawful mischief and disorderly conduct.
Dewey was held in Rutland jail on $25,000 bail and is scheduled for arraignment Tuesday in Rutland criminal court.MORE IN This Just InBRATTLEBORO — Police in Brattleboro say three men have been taken into custody following a...

Cottagers agree new Diarra deal
4:13pm Thursday 17th May 2012 in National Sport © Press Association 2014
Fulham have agreed a one-year contract extension with midfielder Mahamadou Diarra.
The Malian, whose former clubs include Real Madrid and Monaco, joined the Cottagers as a free agent in January until the end of the season.
That deal included an option to extend his stay for another year, with the club confirming that the clause has now been activated.
Diarra made 11 appearances last season as Fulham finished ninth in the Barclays Premier League.

When I shop at some of the local antique stores in Danville, I'm always on the lookout for items that originated in Danville, primarily spice tins from the Grab-It-Here stores or from the Payton-Palmer or Paxton grocery distributors that used to have warehouses in the city.
Once in a while, I'll find something interesting from Danville that's not a spice tin. Just recently at Sweet Repeats on North Street I found one such treasure: A black patent leather purse circa 1950s or 1960s.
The black patent leather was smudged with fingerprints and the dainty gold chain handle was broken, but I picked up the purse anyway and peeked inside. Lo and behold, it had a label that read: Berkowitz, Danville, Ill. This, indeed, was a find!
I remembered first learning about Berkowitz Luggage and Music on North Vermilion Street when I last wrote my Nostalgic Nuggets column several years ago.
It was the late Anna Owens, who died just last year, who brought the longtime luggage shop to my attention. In a Nostalgic Nuggets column that ran on March 8, 2007, Owens wondered if anyone remembered Berkowitz Luggage and Music Store on the east side of North Vermilion Street.
"I worked there when I was in high school," she said at the time. "Not only did they have fine luggage, they also had expensive purses and billfolds."
The late Joe Berkowitz's family arrived in Danville in 1927 and opened the family business, Berkowitz Luggage.
Joe eventually would run the family store and added pianos, organs and keyboards in 1962, making the store Berkowitz Luggage and Music. He ran the store full-time from 1949 until 1986. Joe Berkowitz died in 2008.
With a little window cleaner, the black patent leather shines like new again and the gold chain handle has been repaired. I'm so glad to be the new owner of this piece of Danville history.
Does anyone remember Berkowitz Luggage and Music?
Mirror mystery
I'm always surprised when I receive an inquiry or response to a column from far away.
A few weeks ago, Carole Craig from Toledo, Ohio, contacted me for help gathering information about a 30-by-40-inch glass mirror that appears to have been manufactured in Danville.
"I got it from my mom who had it for years. I don't know where she got it," she said.
An old sticker on the back of the beveled edge mirror reads: Libbey-Owens-Ford Polished Plate Glass by Thirion's, Danville, Illinois. The date of manufacture or purchase is stamped in ink on the back also and reads: Jul 22 1948.
Craig was wondering if perhaps the mirror was manufactured at the old glass factory in the Oaklawn neighborhood. The glass factory at 301 California St. became the Illinois Window Glass Co., owned by George Lemaire and Frank J. Thirion, in 1915.
She also wonders if the mirror has a connection to the late Frank L. and Helen G. Thirion who owned Thirion Glass Co. at 531-535 E. Main St. in Danville until 1971. Interestingly, Bacon & Van Buskirk Glass Co. occupied that same address until just recently. Now it is the home of House of Bikes.
According to the 1945 and 1949 Danville city directories, Frank Thirion and Son (Frank J. and Leon N.) were "dealers in all kinds of glass, plate, window, art, wired, colored, rough auto glass, mirror manufacturing and mirror resilvering."
At some point, Frank L. took over the family business as president and general manager.
I found an advertisement online that was published in the April 20, 1962, edition of LIFE magazine, which promotes Libbey-Owens-Ford glass and lists the Thirion Glass Co. in Danville as a distributor.
According to an article published in 2003 in AGRR — an auto glass retailer magazine — Thirion Glass Co. was a union glazing contractor at the time it was sold in 1971.
Does anybody remember the Thirion family or Thirion Glass Co.? If so, please contact me.

TEAMS: St. Louis Rams, New England Patriots
My girl won't call out Ray Lewis Juan… Adam Schefter dropped hints today that we could see the Rams 'Wes Welker-type' replacing the real thing in New England. Schefter hinted that salary cap reasons for the Rams and Amendola's injury history, could make re-signing him a risky proposition. Welker is getting up there in years and the Pats have walked away from players in the past. Bringing in a younger version of Welker could be the path the Pats go on. I still think they need a guy who can take the roof off like Mike Wallace to open up the underneath stuff, but we shall see what direction they choose to go. A healthy Amendola with Tom Brady would be a monster fantasy option in PPR leagues. Bye Bye Brady? Welker's Wife Blasts Ray Lewis

BEVERLY — A Beverly man admitted yesterday to inducing a younger man into committing a pair of holdups and another theft in 2010.
Shaun Levesque, 31, was sentenced to serve one year of a 21/2-year jail term, with the balance suspended for three years, along with three years of probation, during a hearing yesterday before Lawrence Superior Court Judge Maynard Kirpalani.
Levesque pleaded guilty to charges of armed robbery, armed robbery while masked, attempted armed robbery, assault with a dangerous weapon, and breaking and entering, the same charges lodged against a young Beverly man, Dasheem Dew, then 18, who police say was put up to the crimes by Levesque.
The holdups took place at the Tedeschi convenience store on Cabot Street on Dec. 13, 2010, and at the Century Bank on Rantoul Street on Dec. 14, 2010. The theft occurred at a Danvers hobby shop that prior summer.
Last June, prosecutor James Gubitose told a judge that Levesque had been recruiting younger teens and young adults who had no place to go, like Dew, and "grooming" them to commit crimes in exchange for a place to stay.
At the time he was indicted, Levesque was being held in a gas station holdup in Rhode Island, where he still faces trial. After posting bail in that case, he was turned over to authorities in Massachusetts and has been held on bail.

It hasnt grown or shrunk in anyway but it can be very painfull at some points. Im kinda in a tight spot, should i go to the doctor and have it looked at or just wait and see what happens???
Height 5'8

You should always go to the doctor when in doubt, especially if it's painful.
It might just be a tumor
just kidding.....go to the doctor if your worried

OKLAHOMA CITY — Former Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry testified Wednesday that he considers a former state legislator accused in a bribery scheme a friend, and that he had no evidence of the alleged job offer at the center of the case.
Henry, a Democrat, testified for about an hour in the trial of former state Rep. Randy Terrill, R-Moore.
Terrill, 44, is charged with offering former state Sen. Debbe Leftwich, D-Oklahoma City, an $80,000-a-year state job in exchange for Leftwich's promise not to run for re-election in 2010. Prosecutors allege Terrill masterminded the scheme so a Republican colleague of Terrill's could seek Leftwich's seat in south Oklahoma City.
Terrill and Leftwich, 62, both face up to two years in prison and a $1,000 fine if convicted of their roles in the alleged scheme. Leftwich's trial is scheduled to begin later this year. Both have maintained their innocence.
Henry testified that he vetoed both a bill to create the state job and a separate measure to divert $90,000 to the agency after hearing rumors that the job had been created for Leftwich and learning that District Attorney David Prater had launched an investigation into the alleged scheme.
He said he was disappointed to veto the bill because it contained other changes that were needed to improve the medical examiner's office.
On cross-examination, Henry said that while he heard rumors that the job was created for Leftwich, he had no way of knowing if that was true.
"I don't know if there's one ounce of truth to that," Henry said.
Terrill's defense attorney has argued that no crime was committed because the job never existed and that even if it had, Terrill didn't have the authority to offer the job to Leftwich.
On his way out of the courthouse, Henry said he found it difficult to testify.

anyone running a Quad i this case and has it overclocked? just curious as to your temperatures and how you have your fans setup.

Now, the problem I have is that the whole case seems to be vibrating to the sound of the hard drives, and I get this really annoying pulsating noise. I've cut it down a bit by using foam padding on either side of the drive in the holders against the aluminium brackets, but I really don't think the case should be vibrating like this.
If anyone could help me figure out what is causing this I would be most grateful, thanks.

I've done this but now I don't have an intake fan at the bottom of the case as this change requires you to move the fan along with the fan carrier box in order to mount the fan above the HDDs. Where can I purchase another fan carrier?
I just got my new Cosmos. It is very impressive. About the HDD cooling: I tried moving the bottom fan to above the HD drives as suggested, but this was not possible since the 3.5 floppy "adapters" are on the way. I can't see any way of removing these.
By the way, where can you buy the fan bracket? (RA-1000-FBN1-GP)
I am in California.
See? From Southern Ontario (Eh!) to Southern California (Dude!) your customers want to know where to buy a $2.00 fan bracket. You should just send them out in the name of good customer service. I'd buy one if someone would tell me how to order the thing. Sounding frustrated? Just a bit.

Railroad strike in 1922 caused local clashes
The Daily Star
---- —
In what was called the "Great Railroad Strike" of 1922, most Oneonta residents were deep in the labor frustration and tension, along with the rest of the nation. We didn't have National Guard troops here, as railroad towns in seven other states did, but Oneonta saw its fair share of scuffles between strikers, the railroad and strike breakers.
The strike was called July 1, 1922, after the announcement came that railroads would be cutting wages to shop workers by seven cents an hour. This affected hundreds of jobs in Oneonta, as the Delaware & Hudson Railroad had its building and repair shops here.
Replacement workers had been brought in to take over the jobs the unionized shop workers had vacated. Temporary barracks were set up in the D&H rail yards to house the "strike breakers." Many also stayed at the Wilson House, a hotel that once stood at the corner of Market Street and Chestnut Street Extension, where the parking garage is today.
The Oneonta Police Department and the D&H Railroad police were keeping an eye on activities in the area, and had their hands full on Saturday, Aug. 5, 1922.
As the Oneonta Star described it on Monday, "Saturday evening, while two of the special officers sent into the city to guard D. & H. property were walking along Main street, they were observed, it is said, by some of the striking D. & H. employes (sic) and were greeted with rather uncomplimentary remarks and there may have been some exchange of epithets. In any event the number of sympathizers with the strike increased and soon the two the two men decided they best make their way in the office of the D. & H. police force on Broad street near the Union station, which they did.
"The crowd followed, being augmented as it advanced until it is said to have approximated 200 men and boys when the office of the D. & H. police was reached. In the crowd were some who are said to have dared the officers to come out and some who jeered at them. Officer Mel Farone of the regular D. & H. force came down and attempted to remonstrate with the crowd, saying that the D. & H. police desired no trouble with the men and urged them to depart.
"One man in the crowd, Lawrence Russell, assumed the offensive and replied to Farone and according to the latter made threatening remarks to him."
It resulted in Farone striking Russell, but after a brief scuffle the men were separated and Farone went back into his building. Russell and numerous strike sympathizers then went to the city police and demanded Farone be arrested on the charge of assault. Police arrested Farone but he gave bail at his appearance at police headquarters, then found at 242 Main St. Upon leaving headquarters, Farone presented a charge against Russell of disturbing the peace. Russell was then arrested and made bail at his appearance.
As the Star reported, "The incident resulted in many sensational stories becoming current and no little excitement was caused."
That wasn't the end of the strike tensions. The Star reported on Monday, Aug. 22, that the city and D&H police were busy over the weekend.
"Numerous fights about the streets on Saturday evening and a revolver battle near Duane street last night ... kept the … departments on the jump."
Several strikebreakers on Saturday "came uptown. They were forcibly rejected from Dreamland hall and chased for a considerable distance."
An identified strikebreaker was at the 20th Century Lunch, and strike sympathizers exchanged several blows before police arrived to disperse the fracas. Another fight almost immediately broke out on Broad Street. As for the revolver battle, no one was identified as hit after some strikers or sympathizers were reportedly throwing stones at some strikebreakers on the job in the railroad yards.
On Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4, the local Federated Shop Crafts workers arranged a large parade in Oneonta, which ended in Neahwa Park. Several speeches were made at the park pavilion afterward.
As was read in the Star, some of the text of a speech read, "We are fighting to retain for the rail workers decent living wages and working conditions. Therefore this labor day should be wrought with determination on the part of every real workman, whether organized or not, to help to win this great strike." Nearly 1,000 marched in the parade.
By Sept. 12 it was reported the replacement workers were leaving Oneonta, as the end of the shop strike was near. The D&H began hiring again, but rejected almost all who had gone on strike and were re-applying.
Next weekend, as the Daily Star will not publish on Monday: Amusing local news from September 1917.
City Historian Mark Simonson's column appears twice weekly. On Saturdays, his column focuses on the area during the Depression and before. His Monday columns address local history after the Depression. If you have feedback or ideas about the column, write to him at The Daily Star, or email him at email@example.com.

Submit Photos of Your College to U.S. News
There's still time for school officials to upload campus and student life photos to U.S. News.
After many requests from students and school officials for more photos on usnews.com, we have decided to incorporate pictures of college campuses and student life into each school's homepage on our Best Colleges site.
We have asked schools to submit photos of their campus buildings and shots of student life—whatever best represents the school. The photos will debut on usnews.com in early 2011, one component of a larger redesign that will give the entire U.S. News Education section a sleeker look and increased functionality.
These photos will greatly enhance the appearance of the redesigned school pages and will create a much better user experience for potential and current students. Schools will have a chance to differentiate themselves and showcase many unique aspects of the campus experience, from sports teams to concert events. U.S. News will publish up to 25 photos for each school. We recommend that schools provide us with at least five photos.
We have built a free and easy-to-use tool to allow school officials to submit photos. Invitations to use the tool have been E-mailed to the public relations offices at every school, and we have already received many great submissions. In the case that the U.S. News photo tool invitation has not gone to the right person on your campus, please E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, and we will help you get started.
In addition, feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions about using the tool.
Important note: Whether a school submits photos or not will have no impact on the U.S. News Best Colleges rankings.

The CEO of the Tennessee Valley Authority was paid nearly $6 million for fiscal year 2013, according to the TVA's year-end financial report filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Chief Executive Officer Bill Johnson's $5.9 million salary was for his nine months on the job in fiscal year 2013 and is almost $2 million more than the utility paid retired CEO Tom Kilgor, during his last year with the agency. He made just under $4.03 million.
The utility said that even with the increase Johnson's pay is still below the industry average.Most of his salary came from performance incentives of nearly $2.6 million and deferred compensation payments of $2.06 million. His base salary for nine months of work was $712,500.
Meanwhile, other top executives at TVA saw a decline in pay.
Chief financial officer, John Thomas, received $2.1 million in 2013, or 3.3 percent less than in 2012. TVA's chief counsel, Ralph Rogers, received 25 percent less than the previous year with pay of $1.9 million.
