Ann Patchett's inventive twist on the family drama
At first blush it is a surprise to hear Ann Patchett say, "I do think of myself as a social and political novelist." Her previous novel, Bel Canto, which won her the Orange Prize and became an enduring favorite of book groups, is widely regarded as one of the best love stories of recent decades. And her scintillating new novel, Run, will surely be considered by many of its most avid readers the very thing she seems to fear most: "a heartwarming family drama."
But to Patchett's point, the romance in Bel Canto blooms amid the political and emotional turmoil of a terrorist takeover at a tony international gathering in South America. And Run, which concerns the family of a former Boston mayor, often rings with the hopeful political oratory of the 1960s, '70s and '80s, while raising large questions about our responsibilities for people beyond our immediate bloodlines.
"I come from a very complicated family, with tons of stepbrothers and stepsisters," Patchett says, with a characteristic mix of good humor and passion. "That is so much at the core of my imagination. You know? Who is your family? Who do you love? Who do you have responsibility to? My mother was married to my stepfather from the time I was five until I was 25. He had four children. My mother is married to someone else now who I love very much, and he has three children. Where are my levels of love and responsibility to all these people? I come from the school that if you spend a night in my house, you're my family. And you're my family forever."
The family in the novel Run is less extended but no less complicated than Patchett's own. As the book opens, Bernard Doyle, a widower and former mayor of Boston, is alienated from his oldest son Sullivan and now hopes to see his own thwarted political ambitions realized through his adopted African-American sons Tip and Teddy. Neither of these boys is particularly interested in a political life. Tip, the more brilliant of the two, studies ichthyology at Harvard; Teddy considers becoming a Catholic priest, like the elderly uncle he is devoted to. The story begins with Bernard dragging the two boys to a speech by Jesse Jackson as a blizzard descends upon Boston.
Patchett says her characters developed as she imagined a father who wants to raise one of his children to save the world. "When I first started the book I thought if you were really going to save the world in this present day, really help people, you would do it through science. Then I thought about religion. Then ultimately, over a period of a very long time, I came to politics. I decided you have the best chance of effecting real change through politics. So I thought a lot about Joe Kennedy and a lot about the three brothers in The Brothers Karamazov. So for me the book comes from trying to think deeply about the world, from a place of intellect and problem-solving."
According to Patchett, problem-solving and intellect also characterize her usual approach to writing fiction. During a call to her home in Nashville, where she has lived much of her life and where two-and-a-half years ago she married a local doctor after an 11-year courtship, Patchett says, "My standard line is that writing is like taking a car trip. If I don't know where I'm going and I don't have a map, I don't get there. I understand a lot of writers say if they knew where they were going, there would be no point in writing, that a book is the process of figuring out where it is going. But I need to know how it's going to end before I start."
Still, the composition of Run presented Patchett with a number of surprises. "I imagined the story would take place over about four months . . . and then I realized I was on page 140 and I was only two or three hours into the story. The level of intensity in which everything is called into question is so enormous that none of the characters can turn away from the action, so I had to stay with them and write a book that takes place over the course of 24 hours."
Nor did Patchett's original road map include the marvelous Kenya, a talented 11-year-old girl whose mother is seriously injured when she saves Tip from an oncoming car and whose quiet assertion that she is the adopted brothers' sister sets off the intense moral and emotional quest of the novel. "I hadn't planned for that," Patchett says, "but then Kenya moved forward and I thought, well, I'm going to let her rise into that role."
Patchett, who spent 12 years in Catholic school (and jokes that as a result when her writing is stuck she "runs the vacuum, or dusts, or cooks, or I iron my husband's handkerchiefs. I'm a great wife. And I enjoy it!") adds: "In the same way that I like writing a book that has religion in it but is in no way about religion, I like a book that has people of different races in it without it being about race. Somehow, whenever I see a book that has white people and black people in it, it's a book about race, and that seems wrongheaded and untrue to the experience of life. The stakes are higher when you imagine people farther from your own experience, but the farther your characters are from your experience, the more likely you are to work to make sure they are fully realized characters."
"The value of literary fiction," Patchett says near the end of our conversation, "is that the writer brings half and the reader brings half. You have to leave enough space to let the book become something different with each reading. To me Run is about social responsibility. But I don't want it to be a polemic. I can't devalue what it becomes in anyone else's hands. I have left it open for readers to make it their own book. And if they make it into a heartwarming family drama, and that works for them and it teaches them something, then the book is a success."

Kirkus Reviews 2007 August #2
A family-of-man fable that reads a little too pat to ring true.Like the popular previous novel by Patchett (Bel Canto, 2001), this one finds an unexpected incident connecting and affecting a seemingly disparate cast of characters, isolating them within their own microcosm. The setting is Boston--very Catholic, very political, very racially divided--on the snowiest evening in more than two decades, when a large group gathers to hear a speech by the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Among them is widower Bernard Doyle, once the city's mayor until a scandal involving his oldest son compromised his career (one of the underdeveloped subplots here). Still a political junkie, Doyle wants his two adopted, college-age African-American sons to express more interest in his passion. Though he'd had high political aspirations for these two--even going so far as to name them Tip and Teddy--both are pursuing different paths. Tip wants to be a scientist studying fish; Teddy hears the call of the priesthood, likely inspired by his adoptive mother's uncle, the elderly Father Sullivan. The priest has reluctantly gained notoriety as a faith healer (another underdeveloped subplot), though he doesn't believe he has extraordinary powers, and his own faith has become shaky. Leaving the Jackson speech, Tip steps amid the swirling snow into the path of an SUV. A woman with her young daughter pushes him out of the way, letting the SUV hit her. Is the woman Tip's real mother? (And Teddy's?) Is the young daughter their sister? Why do she and her mother seem to know so much more about the Doyles than they know about her? What do we make of the statue of the Virgin Mary that looks so much like the only mother Tip and Teddy have known? And what about that significant plot twist revealed in conversation between a dead woman and one who may be dying? By the time the extended family converges on the hospital, it has become plain that neither these people nor this family can ever be the same.Compelling story but thematically heavy-handed.

Library Journal Reviews 2007 July #1
Two families come together in a traffic accident during a snowstorm. Nothing terribly unusual there, except that a woman has purposely thrown herself under a car to protect a stranger. It quickly becomes clear that the families--a poor, single black mother with her 11-year-old daughter and a white, Irish Catholic, former Boston mayor with a biological son and two adopted black college-aged sons whose much-loved wife died over 20 years ago--have a connection. The award-winning Patchett (Bel Canto ) here presents an engrossing and enjoyable novel. While there are a few unexpected turns, the reader very quickly figures out where the plot is headed, but that does not detract from the pleasure of reading. The somewhat unusual premise is presented very matter-of-factly; this is not a story about race but about family and the depths of parents' love of their children, whether biological, adopted, given away, or otherwise acquired, and of each other. Recommended for most collections. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 6/15/07.]--Sarah Conrad Weisman, Corning Community Coll. Lib., NY[Page 84]. Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.

Novelists can no longer take it as an insult when people say their novels are like good television, because the finest American television is better written than most novels. Ann Patchett's new one has the texture, the pace and the fairy tale elegance of a half dozen novels she might have read and loved growing up, but the magic and the finesse of Run is really much closer to that of Six Feet Under or ER or The Sopranos , and that is good news for everybody, not least her readers.
Bernadette and Bernard Doyle were a Boston couple who wanted to have a big lively family. They had one boy, Sullivan, and then adopted two black kids, Teddy and Tip. Mr. Doyle is a former mayor of Boston and he continues his interest in politics, hoping his boys will shape up one day for elected office, though none of them seems especially keen. Bernadette dies when the adopted kids are just four, and much of the book offers a placid requiem to her memory in particular and to the force of motherhood in lives generally. An old statue from Bernadette's side of the family seems to convey miracles, and there will be more than one before this gracious book is done.
One night, during a heavy snowfall, Teddy and Tip accompany their father to a lecture given by Jessie Jackson at the Kennedy Centre. Tip is preoccupied with studying fish, so he feels more than a little coerced by his father. After the lecture they get into an argument and Tip walks backwards in the road. A car appears out of nowhere and so does a woman called Tennessee, who pushes Tip out of the car's path and is herself struck. Thus, a woman is taken to hospital and her daughter, Kenya, is left in the company of the Doyles. Relationships begin both to emerge and unravel, disclosing secrets, hopes, fears.
Run is a novel with timeless concerns at its heart--class and belonging, parenthood and love--and if it wears that heart on its sleeve, then it does so with confidence. And so it should: the book is lovely to read and is satisfyingly bold in its attempt to say something patient and true about family. Patchett knows how to wear big human concerns very lightly, and that is a continuing bonus for those who found a great deal to admire in her previous work, especially the ultra-lauded Bel Canto . Yet one should not mistake that lightness for anything cosmetic: Run is a book that sets out inventively to contend with the temper of our times, and by the end we feel we really know the Doyle family in all its intensity and with all its surprises.

As well as the Heat started in Game 3, it started just as poorly in Game 4 against the Pacers. Miami found itself down 11-0 quickly in the first quarter as the Indiana crowd sustained a raucous mood.
Dwyane Wade certainly didn't do the Heat any favors early on, including this missed open layup.
Lance Stephenson had a fantastic scoring night, but here we'll recognize his equally good acting skills.
Speaking of flops, there were a bunch tonight. Here's my other favorite, courtesy of LeBron and David West.
Roy Hibbert was terrific on the glass and in the paint on offense. Chris Bosh struggled mightily, couldn't get any rhythm going and ultimately suffered an ankle injury that sent him to the locker room for a while late in the game.
The early lead Indiana had evaporated and Miami took a small one of its own thanks mostly to LeBron James, of course. Especially thanks to this block on George Hill who must have been delusional to think he had that layup.
But Hill came back on the next trip down, hit a jumper and drew the foul for a three-point play, touting the MJ tongue wag in the process.
The momentum again swung in favor of Indiana as it maintained a small lead well into the fourth quarter. LeBron hit a three to pull Miami close, but he would foul out shortly afterward.
Then it would just be free throws for the Pacers as they drained the clock and sent Indianapolis into a frenzy.

Swn Festival began in 2007, co-founded by Huw Stephens and John Rostron, after a revelatory trip to the world's largest music showcase festival that is SXSW (South By South West) in Austin, Texas. Seeing the plethora of up and coming venues, promoters, and of course a thriving local bands scene, they returned with the idea of putting on their own, smaller, version in their homeland of Cardiff. That November they put on 100 bands across the city, with the then unknown Yeasayer, DJ Annie Mac and the brilliant Beirut being just some of the names performing over a chilly 3 day weekend across Cardiff's lovely city centre. Now, 7 years later, Sŵn has grown into a four-day affair, with 200 artists gracing all kinds of venues and with all kinds of other cultural delight on offer – DJs, exhibitions, film screenings, quizzes, Music Industry sessions, outdoor performances and more adding to an always stellar musical line-up.
Gaze wistfully into our past, and you will see standout performances from Los Campesinos! at an old Church, Islet throbbing the walls of a city centre pub and two riproaringly rattling performances from The Cribs in both 2007 & 2012. We're proud to know that now big-billed acts such as Marina & the Diamonds, The Vaccines, Alt J, The Drums, Ben Howard and Disclosure have all been seen in their raw state at Sŵn before going on to much bigger things, and we promise you'll find plenty of similar undiscovered gem as you meander between this year's gigs. Now a staple in October in the extended festival season and with over 5,000 festival-goers mixing in with the loquacious throng of Cardiff's weekend nightlife, Sŵn will once again be kicked off by the Welsh Music Prize, last year given to festival legends Future of the Left, as a celebratory way to open four incredible days in the Welsh capital.
This year, we also have several new venues to add to our roster, including the Womanby Street home of blistering rock and metal Fuel, the beautiful Victorian architecture of The Angel Hotel, the acoustically stunning St John's Church and Cardiff's legendary antique's centre Jacob's Market. You can find Info and a Map guide to our 20 venues right here. Want to see the 2013 line-up so far? Good idea.

Although we have seen a first-rate rally in the stock market this week, investors sometimes have short memories. Just last Friday, the S&P 500 Index was down -7.34% for the month of November. The market gained all of that loss back again over the past three days.
During the past six months, the stock market has been nothing short of manic—there has been no consistency—only volatility. The stock market has not seen this level of up and down days since 2008.
Investors have all witnessed a number of days where the market was down 3% or more one day and the next day rallied back 3%. Since the beginning of August, the S&P 500 Index has seen 29 swings of 1% or more in a single day.
Perhaps this type of volatile, sideways market reflects the mediocre economic news from around the globe. Asia and Emerging Markets are slowing, Japan has flat growth, Europe looks to be heading for a recession, and the U.S. is still growing—but at a very slow pace.
Despite The Gloom—There Are Some Bright Spots
In my August 5, 2011 Global Outlook newsletter I predicted that, contrary to popular belief at the time, the U.S. was not going to slip into a double-dip recession. In that same newsletter I predicted that consumer spending had bottomed and I gave all my reasons why we would shortly see a rebound in U.S. consumer spending. We are now clearly experiencing that consumer spending rebound after the start of the Thanksgiving and Christmas shopping season.
Another important bright spot is corporate earnings, which in normal times should be driving the stock market. Globally oriented U.S. companies are estimated to grow their earnings by 15% this year. U.S. corporations have over $2 trillion in cash on their balance sheets and very little debt. Sales in Asia and Emerging Markets reached record highs over the past 12 months. Over the past year corporate productivity has also reached record levels.
Capital spending by businesses is up. Consumer confidence is trending up. Household debt continues to contract and banks are also continuing to write down their bad debt and improve their balance sheets. Both housing and factory data shows signs of picking up and most importantly, U.S. GDP continues to expand. We are also seeing private sector jobs starting to significantly increase. This may be the first real sign of an economic recovery.
But We Are Not Out Of Danger Yet!
With all these positive indicators, why do investors feel like the stock market is taking them on the worst roller coaster ride of their life? The answer is politics!
The stock market has been reacting primarily to political issues for the past 6 months. First the U.S. debt ceiling debate, then the U.S. debt downgrade by Standard & Poors (that was a political decision), the failure of the so-called congressional "Super Committee", and now the European debt crisis.
Why Should Americans Care About The European Debt Crisis?
I believe the stock market would be a lot calmer and a lot higher if it were not for the European debt crisis.
Make no mistake about it if the European politicians do not get their act together soon, economists are very worried about another global financial disaster. If this were to happen, the stock market would react very badly.
Yesterday the world's central banks, including our Federal Reserve, launched a massive joint action to provide cheap, emergency U.S. dollar loans to banks in Europe. While the stock markets went up in some relief that someone was taking decisive action in this crisis—this action is a real cause for alarm. The central banks acted out of a growing fear that the global financial system was in danger of collapsing.
While this injection of liquidity into European banks may cause the stock market to go up for the next month or two, this action only buys European politicians a very short period of time to come up with a real plan to solve this crisis.
Will European politicians do the right thing? Will they act responsibly and cut their spending and reign in scofflaw nations like Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal?
The U.S. is in far better shape than Europe and our politicians in congress and the so-called "Super Committee" have miserably failed at trying to cut a small $1.2 trillion from our budget over the next 10 years. Why do we think European politicians, who love their entitlements more than we do, will be any more successful?
This Is What Is At Stake In The European Debt Crisis—& Why It Is So Dangerous!
The European debt crisis could cause a global financial and banking disaster worse than what we experienced in 2008-2009. Europe would be ripped apart by sovereign defaults, bank failures, wild currency swings and capital controls.
There's more. Europe's problem is not just that governments are over-extended. There are an unknown number of European banks that are effectively insolvent if their holdings of government bonds were "marked to market"—in other words, valued at their current rock-bottom market prices. Recently, some banks are refusing to lend to other European banks.
Just as European banks loaded up on all our U.S. subprime mortgage bonds, most big U.S. banks have some exposure to euro-zone bonds or banks. One U.S. institution—MF Global, run by former senator and former Goldman Sachs CEO, Jon Corzine—just declared bankruptcy because of its highly leveraged euro-bond bets.
The U.S. May Be Next
There is another reason Americans should care about this European financial crisis. We may be next. What is happening in Europe today may happen here very soon.
Italy's debt amounts to 121% of its GDP. Today the U.S. gross federal debt stands at around 100% of GDP. Four years ago it was 62%. By 2016 the International Monetary Fund forecasts it will be at 115%.
Some economists believe that our debt is less of a problem because, unlike Italy, we can print money. That means that the U.S. has the ability to get rid of our debt by inflation or depreciating away the debt.
This is not very reassuring to U.S. investors who hold a significant amount of treasury bonds as part of their retirement savings. Inflation will cause those U.S. treasuries to be worth a lot less in purchasing power in the near future.
How Does One Invest In This Roller Coaster Stock Market?
At Foxhall, we are carefully watching all of these events every day and trying to react in a prudent way to protect our client's principal. The protection of principal against potential catastrophic loss is absolutely paramount at this time. For us at Foxhall, the protection of principal is far more important than short-term stock market gains.
Some have criticized Foxhall for being too conservative. Our system can seem a little slow getting out of the market and a little too slow getting back in. But when you are riding a stock market roller coaster that can go up one day by 3% or 4% and go down just as much the next day I think a strategy that is too conservative may be the best strategy for this type of stock market.
With markets regularly moving more than 3% a day, I do not believe it will be difficult to make up recent portfolio declines once the stock market enters into a "sustained uptrend." But until then, Foxhall will maintain its very conservative strategy of maintaining some exposure to the stock market coupled with large positions in cash, U.S. treasuries and money market funds.
This policy of maintaining significant cash positions will be a drag on performance on days when the stock market rallies up. Foxhall will underperform on those days. But, for the same reason, we could outperform on those days that the stock market declines.
At Foxhall, we always worry more about stock market declines and principal loss than we do about short-term gains.
When Will This Stock Market Turmoil End?
What the central banks did for Europe yesterday was more of a Band-Aid than a real fix. While their actions were welcomed by the stock market, this rally could last through December and into the first quarter of 2012. But the reality is that Europe (and the United States) still have a very big problem and it is a four-letter word called "debt."
At some point this European debt crisis will be resolved—and hopefully without first causing a global financial and stock market meltdown. When this European political crisis is finally resolved the stock market should rally sharply because basic company fundamentals are currently so strong. When that happens, Foxhall will most likely move fully back into the stock market.
But, because there is still a real and significant risk of a global financial crisis hanging over the stock market, Foxhall will continue to pursue our cautious and conservative strategy of maintaining significant amounts of cash and treasury bonds in an attempt to protect client principal until this stock market roller coaster ride is over.
Until then...

"The most terrible thing about materialism, even more terrible than its proneness to violence, is its boredom, from which sex, alcohol, drugs, all devices for putting out the accusing light of reason and suppressing the unrealizable aspirations of love, offer a prospect of deliverance."
"We must find new lands from which we can easily obtain raw materials and at the same time exploit the cheap slave labor that is available from the natives of the colonies. The colonies would also provide a dumping ground for the surplus goods produced in our factories."
"What is necessary to keep providing good care to nature has completely fallen into ignorance during the materialism era."
"I do not deny that many appear to have succeeded in a material way by cutting corners and by manipulating associates, both in their professional and in their personal lives. But material success is possible in this world and far more satisfying when it comes without exploiting others."

Fort Lewis makes the most of its Durango location
Friday, September 16, 2011
Outside Magazine loves Durango. That's why in the magazine's October 2011 feature "Best Places to Live," they call Durango the "Next Big Thing." Who can blame them?
At Fort Lewis College, though, it's not news that Durango is a big thing. Durangoans love big peaks, high water, deep canyons, and powder days. But Durango wouldn't be that "best place" without Fort Lewis College's vibrant, youthful energy that keeps this historic town cutting cultural fresh tracks all year round.

Talking point: What is Albion's best team now?
Updated 10:33pm Saturday 8th February 2014 in Sport
Albion's win over Doncaster was not perfect but it ended a run of three league games without a victory and there were some impressive performances.
Solly March, particularly, staked a claim for a more regular starting spot and Rohan Ince also shone on his return from injury.
Transfer deadline signings Dale Stephens and David Rodriguez both made their home debuts, showing some nice moments at times.
The likes of Kazenga LuaLua, David Lopez, Kemy Agustien and Jonathan Obika had to be content with places on the bench while Keith Andrews, Jake Forster-Caskey and Will Buckley were all out injured.
With everyone fit and with Liam Bridcutt having moved to Sunderland, what is now Albion's best starting XI?

y needs time to settle, but he will be important, Kaz used as impact sub, as doesn't seem to be able to play 90 without getting injured, Incey now a definite, back four as yesterday ( great cross from Wardy for the goal ), and one from Orlandi, Andrews and Buckley ( when fit ), with Kemy, Dunk, Kaz, Obika, David, Calde and Brez on the bench. CMS, Crofty and Hoskins to come back......the squad looks good, don't think we need anyone else, and if we beat Leeds and Wigan, then we're right back in it.

Gazza by the sea says...
Back five almost picks itself although GG looking a little wobbly of late. With our relatively slow central defence we have to play the holding midfielder which has to be Ince or Andrews. Ulloa has to play.
So the problem is the four 'offensive' midfielders. One of the wider players must be able to get forward quickly and support Leo so that's got be either Buckley or Rodriguez starting. Maybe both? But then you can't afford the luxury of March and KLL - and they are the only two players that get us out of our seats at the moment.
Got to have two players in the centre of midfield or we'll get overrun - ideally a ball winner and a creator. With Crofts out seems Stephens is a must. So just the creator left - pick any one from Agustien, Orlandi, JFC, and Ince or Andrews depending which one isn't playing the holding role.
Who'd be Oscar right now?!
Seems to me that until we can recruit a pacy, solid, ball playing centre back we HAVE to play 4-1-4-1 to protect the defence. Any talk of 4-4-2 is pie in the sky until then.
And is Oscar really going to drop the captain at this stage of the season? Can't see it.
Priority signings - centre back and creative midfielder.

What we could do with is some players who can be multi tasked. Aren't we being a bit limited to consider a midfielder either Creative , or a ball winner? Doesn't Ince have the potential to be both? Can't players like David and Orlandi learn to tackle? :) Do we really need 2 defensive ball winners in the midfield?
I agree with the posters above, incl. Gazza, who say what we appear to be missing is a good young fast central defender , and a creative midfielder (assuming we don't think Orlandi, Augestein, or even March will be able to fill that role).

"I just had a sneaking suspicion that things were going to come flying over the fence."
And that's exactly what Jerry Kronenthal said he captured on video. It's not the first time Kronenthal said trash suddenly appeared on his lawn.
"I would do my yard. I'd come out on the other side and just find piles and piles of trash," said Kronenthal.
This time Kronenthal believes he caught the culprit in the act, his next door neighbor, Vicki Jaeger.
"Why you throwing stuff over my fence, huh? I'm asking you. You can't answer that for me?" Kronenthal is heard asking his neighbor on the video.
"I have video of you throwing it over my fence, so I'm wondering why you're doing that. Vicki can you answer that?" Rosenthal asked. "Interesting that I caught it on video that things are flying over my fence and you're standing outside."
What you're witnessing is just another feud between Kronenthal and his next door neighbors, Ken and Vicki Yeager. Ken Yeager is president of the Ponderosa Village Homeowners Association. In fact Kronenthal and Kim Dunn are surrounded by HOA board members.
"All eyes on me," Kronenthal said.
And when the HOA board of directors look at the couple and the home, they share they don't like what they see.
"They're screaming at Jerry all the time," Dunn said. "They're always telling him he's crazy. He has a mental problem."
Kronenthal has spent a huge amount of time filing open records requests and flying off e-mails to get as much information as he can from the homeowner association.
He's received over 30 letters from the HOA board and their attorney for violating restrictions that Kronenthal argues aren't really in the HOA's covenants.
"I received violations for a chair being in my front yard," Kronenthal said. "I received a violation for having my boat parked in front of my house."
Leaves are a big bone of contention in this neighborhood.
"When I do my yard they're upset that maybe a leaf or two might fall on their property," Kronenthal said.
And Krontenthal's leaves are apparently the reason Jeager says on the video she threw trash into his yard.
"Do you think this is ok?" Yeager is heard screaming at Kronenthal on the video.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, what this is," Kronethal replied.
"Trashing out our yard," screams Yeager.
The trash talk turns even trashier.
"You're a weirdo," Yeager said to Kronenthal.
"Oh I'm a weirdo," Kronenthal replied.
"We don't talk to Jerry because you're a fool," Ken Yeager said to Kronenthal.
"You have mental problems," Vicki Yeager said to Kronenthal who replied, "I have mental problems? who throws trash over people's fences."
FOX 26 Investigates knocked on the Yeager's door to see what they had to say about Kronethal's claim that the HOA is picking on him.
"What do you believe?" Ken Yeager said.
We point out that all we know is what Kronenthal has to say about the situation and we are there to see what the Yeager's want to say about it.
"I have nothing to say," Yeager said.
The HOA's annual board meeting is that night but Yeager told us we are not invited. Of course the HOA annual meeting that night didn't go off without a hitch. After Kronenthal showed up wanting to record the meeting a scuffle ensued and the cops had to be called. One HOA board member got a misdemeanor charge of assault by contact.
The HOA rescheduled this meeting but wouldn't let Kronenthal attend. Once again the cops were called and Kronenthal was arrested for disrupting a meeting. He said he plans to fight that misdemeanor charge and file suit against his HOA.

Volunteering at AFHS
Our volunteers are the lifeblood of our society. We just couldn't manage without all the dedicated people we have doing everything from running the library to setting up new members to organizing audio/visual equipment at meetings. We learn lots, but we also have a lot of fun and enjoy each other's company.
The AFHS is looking to fill a few key positions that are instrumental to our existence. If you see something that you or someone you know could help with, please get in touch with us .
Our long-standing, much-respected Treasurer is retiring. We tried to talk her into staying but she wants to do some genealogy - go figure! So we are looking for someone to take over her position. Here is what our Treasurer does:
- collects all monies payable to the Society and makes deposits to the bank
- disburses funds of the Society under the direction of the Board
- maintains all financial records
- provides a monthly financial report
- works with the auditor on the yearly audit
- prepares and submits all tax-related forms
- and more...
If you have any such financial experience (or are enthusiastic and willing to learn), let us know!
Vice President
Currently we have no VP, which could be detrimental to our existence. The Vice President's duties primarily include attending meetings, assuming the role of chair if the President is absent, and eventually taking the President's seat when his/her term has been completed.
This is an extremely important position because the society cannot function without a President, of course.
Other positions
We do have a couple other positions that are open, such as Volunteer Coordinator. Our PR Committee would likely appreciate a little help, too.
We need more bright, talented individuals to help us move AFHS into the 21st century and we invite you to join us! Contact us if you can help. Thank you!

Review this movie
Apr 8, 2013Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami travels to Japan for this film about a young hooker who becomes involved with an old professor. Any movie that starts with a long, inert first scene is gonna be slow, but this one takes the prize. First is a restaurant with 2 locked-down cameras for 10 min. Second is in a cab for 15 min, while listens to 8 voicemail msgs. You get the idea. At one point the old man fell asleep behind the wheel of the car for more than a minute. All sequences take place in real time with static camera and low key performances. I had plenty of time to answer a few emails and not miss a thing (even in subtitles) and may be the only person in Richmond to see this. It does have a pretty surprising shaggy dog ending.… Expand
Like Someone in Love, is another miracle at close quarters. Its subject is the impossibility of intimacy in the modern world: chewy stuff, to be sure, but Kiarostami explores it with a depth and delicacy that recalls the Japanese master Yasujiro Ozu.
Now practically an exile from his homeland, Kiarostami follows Certified Copy with another film-literate relationship drama with the enigmatic overtones of Hitchcock.
Apr 11, 2013A delicate pearl of a movie, Like Someone in Love is thus a meditative dance along the ambiguous borders of truth and illusion. What, Kiarostami seems to be asking, can we actually see? What can we definitively know? Far less than we think.

The first round of our tournament is over, and now it's time to begin the second round to see which pair of players the majority of CSR readers thinks the Panthers should draft with their first two picks.
The second match of the second round is very intriguing. Although the 1st round prospects in this battle work on opposite sides of the ball at two completely different positions, they do, however, share one fascinating thing in common: Upside. Of all the likely first round picks in the upcoming 2013 NFL Draft, these two probably have the most untapped potential. For those of you who aren't scared away by a high risk, high reward draft proposition, this match should give you plenty to chew on.
The two teams facing off in Match Two of the Second Round are:
Team A: Cordarrelle Patterson (WR) and Matt Elam (S)
Team B: Ezekiel Ansah (DE) and Robert Woods (WR)

Bill Grimes Daily News
Effingham Daily News
---- — DIETERICH — A group of people who live on Vine Street in Dieterich implored the Dieterich Village Board to do something about periodic flooding on their block.
Berdeena Leturno asked the board to consider an ordinance that would enable property owners to buy flood plain insurance. Mrs. Leturno said she is concerned the floods are creating a health hazard at her home.
"The damage is more than the $600 a year for flood insurance," she said. "We're willing to pay it."
"Six hundred (dollars) is nothing," added neighbor Stan Russell. I have $20,000 worth of stuff ruined because it's full of water and mud."
But a number of village officials said a flood insurance ordinance might go against the greater good.
"I was always told passing a flood plain ordinance decreases property values," said Trustee Jo Ann Donaldson.
Village President Brad Hardiek said there was that danger. Hardiek added that Vine Street property owners are in a tough situation, especially if they want to sell their home.
"The bank won't loan anything for that home unless they (the buyers) have flood insurance, and they can't buy flood insurance unless they own the home," Hardiek said. "It's a Catch-22. There are pros and cons both ways."
Russell suggested the creek that runs through Dieterich can be cleaned up to enhance the flow of water away from their homes.
"I'd rather get it out in the country," he said. "If they lose 10 acres, whoopity crack. It wouldn't be anything near what I have lost."
Vine Street resident Nick Fewkes suggested that the problem lies downstream — south of the village — where he said vegetation clogs the creek on a regular basis.
"What's more important?" Fewkes said. "Water in people's homes, or water out in a field?"
Russell said he has spent $5,000 from his own pocket for repairs.
"I'm beyond aggravated about it," he said.
Trustee Paul Field said the board should develop a comprehensive flood prevention plan that would include cleaning under bridges. Field said he would have trouble supporting a flood plain ordinance.
"You get flood insurance, but everybody else gets hurt," Field said. "The ordinance could cause a lot of problems later on."
The board took no action on the issue Monday, but Village Clerk/Economic Development Coordinator Brittny Gipson said she would contact the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in an effort to develop a solution.
Trustee Steve Kibler said there won't an overnight solution.
"It's not going to be a quick fix," Kibler said.
"We understand that," said Scott Leturno. "But my yard has turned into a skating rink because of all the mud."
In action taken Monday, the board agreed to remove exposed drainage tile from the lot of Bob and Alice Zumbahlen, as well as test the drain to see if it is connected to the new tile.
The Zumbahlens live on Fayette Avenue near the village's industrial park. The couple sold the village land on which the industrial park now sits.

text: Hostess Twinkies and the Music Industry Nov 19 2012 In Music 0 Comments If you love food or music, this is a great time to be alive. Following customer demand, segments of the food industry have been emerging over the past 30 years with a focus on quality and variety, rather than just sheer quantity. Even in a modestly urban place like Salt Lake City, the food choices are astonishing, and constantly improving. From natural and specialty food stores, to innovative new restaurants, microbreweries, farmer's markets, cooking classes, and affordable new cooking technology, the landscape is amazing and growing quickly. Meanwhile, other segments of the food industry have remained stagnant. The recently announced (second) bankruptcy of Hostess Brands, Inc. has been blamed on labor unions and corporate mismanagement, among other things. However, the recent history of the company reflects a slow downward spiral, driven by an increasing mismatch between the food landscape, customer values, and the products the company chose to produce and market. In the 1960s, Wonder Bread and Twinkies were great products with large and growing markets. At the time, even "supermarkets" didn't have anything near the variety of products available today, and our understanding of the relationship between food and health was not particularly well-developed. Sliced puffy bread and tasty treats with essentially infinite shelf life were just the thing. Success generates momentum, and the company moved forward like a freight train. Unfortunately for the company's 18,500 employees and their families, nobody seemed to notice when the fuel was running out. Similarities with the music industry are hard to ignore. Anyone interested in music, either as a listener or as a performer/producer, is met today with a practically endless variety of products, services, and technology. The quality is there, too, although it may not always be easy to find. The internet has made it possible for practically anyone to understand and experience music in far greater depth and detail than ever before. Learning an instrument has never been easier, and producing a track (or an album) is a task easily within the grasp of a sufficiently motivated amateur. Innovative companies are serving customer demand and developing new technologies, immersing themselves in this new environment, having fun, and making a good living. And then there is the music recording industry. Locked in an outmoded business model, lacking innovative ideas or technical expertise, and overstaffed with lawyers, their freight train is running out of fuel. Their traditional role of identifying, nurturing, and developing talent, while providing a strong marketing platform, has degenerated into that of a marketing-driven producer of banal wonder bread.

Michael Lewis is the author of Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, The Blind Side, and a long list of other bestselling books. Next week, his latest book, Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World, will be published by W.W. Norton. Recently, Lewis was kind enough to answer a few questions via e-mail.
Rob: You've been quoted in many places saying something like, "I never thought this book could be a movie."
Your opinion was widely shared, from the moment plans for a movie were first made public. But in retrospect, why the skepticism? A good movie merely requires compelling characters, and you wouldn't have written Moneyball in the first place unless you'd known that Billy Beane and the rest were compelling characters.
If nothing else, do you now have a greater appreciation for the abilities of skilled Hollywood types to turn a great story, no matter the subject matter, into a good movie?
Michael: My doubts arose both from the subject matter (the use and abuse of baseball statistics) and the way the story was told (it was far more the story of an idea than of a man). I thought the most emotionally loaded, and therefore the most movie-friendly, aspect of the story was the effect this idea had on the lives of players like Chad Bradford and Scott Hatteberg. And I didn't think anyone would make a movie about Chad Bradford and Scott Hatteberg. I underestimated the ability of the moviemakers to turn the story of an idea into a compelling story of a man, and to make the man stand for the idea. There was a bit of this in the book, obviously, but they pushed it harder than I imagined it could be pushed, without falling down.
Rob: What is it like for you, more than eight years after your book was published, to still be essentially living with Moneyball? The book is still in airport bookstores, Brad's Pitt graces the cover of Sports Illustrated, you are doing publicity for the movie, old enmities are being rekindled... Does this feel strange at all, after all this time?
Michael: I've been living with Liar's Poker for 21 years. Moneyball, in comparison, feels fresh and new. I've done some small amounts of publicity for the movie but the truth is I had nothing to do with it, and don't want to be seen to be taking credit for the work of the people who actually made it. The book always benefited from making the right enemies. The movie appears to be following in its footsteps.
Rob: I won't ask if you really like the movie. (I assume that you do like it, and I also assume you wouldn't tell us today if you don't.) It does seem to me that where The Blind Side told roughly half the story you did in that book, Moneyball goes to some pains to tell most of the story in that book.
Even so, there are some relatively subtle differences in the story you told, and the story the moviemakers tell. Did you have the same reaction upon seeing it?
Michael: I really couldn't believe how good it was. And I really did think that, if made, it might be awful. I'm so deeply relieved that I haven't stopped to think about the differences between the movie and the book. I suppose I did wonder how much people would be bothered by trivial distortions of real events that I found a tiny bit jarring (Jeremy Giambi joining the A's in 2002, for instance, or Billy Beane physically traveling to Cleveland in the off season to make trades). Not much, it appears. It was indeed different from watching the Blind Side because the Blind Side left half the story I wrote on the cutting room floor. This one used every piece of the duck but the quack.

Rep. Paul Ryan also tells CNBC that Obamacare must be repealed before it implodes "under it's own weight."» Read More
RICHMOND, Va.— The corruption case that could send former Virginia Gov. Bob and Maureen McDonnell are charged in a 14- count federal indictment with accepting more than $165,000 in gifts, trips and loan from Jonnie Williams, former CEO of dietary supplements maker Star Scientific Inc., in exchange for special favors.
WASHINGTON— President Barack Obama's unpopular health care law is losing some of its political punch as vulnerable Democrats see it as less of an election-year minus and Republicans increasingly talk about fixing it instead of repealing.
Aug 20- Departures and primary losses for 28 Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have created opportunities for a new wave of conservative and Tea Party- backed candidates. The Republican nominee to replace him is Gary Palmer, a fund raiser for a conservative think tank in Alabama who is backed by the anti-tax group Club for Growth.
But I feel like I'm changing one or two minds here or there, "said Felice Pete, a nurse anesthetist and a member of the state party's Black Advisory Board. The swing state, one of 11 where the Republican National Committee has hired staff to reach black voters, hosts one of the country's most important Senate races in November's midterm elections.
WASHINGTON, July 1- The U.S. Supreme Court has opened up a new front in the battle over corporate rights by ruling that family-owned and other closely held corporations can mount religious objections to government action.
May 23- Troubled U.S. lobbying giant Patton Boggs avoided a financial cliff on Friday when a larger law firm agreed to acquire many of its partners and its name, which for decades was synonymous with influence in Washington, D.C..
NEW YORK/ WASHINGTON, May 21- The scandal over a made-up study that badly disrupted traffic at the George Washington Bridge may not be New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's biggest problem after all.
Romney is the third high-profile Republican in the past two weeks to say that resistance to a minimum wage hike is hurting the GOP's brand—NBC News.
Increasing access to Medicaid, the government-run insurance program for the poor, and mandating that everyone have health insurance were the two centerpieces of Massachusetts' healthcare reform.
Randy Johnson, who lost his job in the 1990s because of Mitt Romney's Bain Capital, has written a book about Romney. What it means.
April 17- Bain Capital LLC has raised $7.3 billion from investors and its dealmakers for its next flagship fund, people familiar with the matter said on Thursday, underscoring the favorable fundraising environment for established private equity firms.
Supreme Court ruling that struck down the overall cap on federal election contributions is sending ripples across American politics, as states have begun backing away from their own restrictions on donations and lawyers are forecasting a new wave of challenges to campaign finance laws nationwide.
April 2- The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down a key pillar of campaign finance law by allowing wealthy donors to give money to as many political candidates, parties and committees as they wish.
BOSTON, March 20- Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley remains well ahead of her nearest Democratic primary opponent and a Republican contender in the state's race for governor, according to a poll released on Thursday.
WASHINGTON, March 8- Republicans, looking for ways to turn November's congressional elections into a referendum on President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law, are trying to portray Obamacare as a danger to Medicare.
The slowdown in health spending does not indicate that "we're out of the woods," said Glenn Hubbard, one-time advisor to Mitt Romney and George W. Bush.
The White House is coming under pressure from some of its closest allies to name a CEO to run its health insurance marketplace.
This little-known group may pose the biggest barrier to reducing the nation's income inequality.

Former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner had offers from some of the biggest firms on Wall Street. So why did he choose a low-key equity firm?

Summer break has been a hallmark of student-hood for what seems like forever.
But when summer comes around, parents who work have to find some place for their children to go. Enter summer school, summer camp, nannies, sitters, grandparents and children being left to fend for themselves.
Most schools in southeast Wisconsin and throughout the state remain on the traditional calendar, with almost three full months off in the summer, but some schools are bucking that trend.
Brownsburg, IN, has moved to a balanced calendar with two-week breaks in fall, winter and spring, and eight weeks off in summer. Some districts in Utah have moved to a year-round calendar due to space concerns. One Jordan, UT, official said the year-round calendar has increased school capacity by 25 percent, and saved them from having to build 13 new schools.
There are pros and cons to both types of school calendars, as looked at by the San Jose Mercury News: The traditional summers-off schedule means a lot of hustling by parents to find summer care for their school-age children, and for some students having three months off leads to an academic slide.
Janes Elementary School in Racine was the first year-round school in Wisconsin. Students there attend school for 60 days and then have 20 days off. The school's academic year begins after July 4th and ends the third week in June.
Year-round calendars are gaining ground, reports MSNBC. Over the past 10 years, the number of students on a year-round schedule went up from 1.5 million to 2.5 million in 2008. The story reports some experts believe as many as 5 million students could be on year-round schedules by 2012-13.
The Obama administration reportedly supports year-round schooling, particularly because of the boost it appears to give lower-achieving students by keeping them from backsliding during the long break.
"Society can't keep saying to schools 'have every kid perform better' when we don't have them here enough," said Charlie Kyte, president of the Minnesota Association of School Administrators. A few Minnesota districts have adopted balanced calendars, and many others are studying the idea.
And, if you think summers off is the way it's always been, think again. Slate took a look at the history of school calendars, and found things were all over the map.
Among the things Juliet Lapidos reported in Slate:
- Urban school years used to be much longer, clocking in at more than 225 education days per year, but students only showed up about half the time.
- Rural school had school years split into two parts, with a winter and summer session so students could be home working on the farm during spring planting and fall harvests.
- School reformers worried the long school calendar was bad for children's bodies and minds, and physicians thought they were "too frail" for year-round education.

Derry, NH — Mr. Roland W. Desfosses, 82, passed away peacefully on Tuesday morning, April 9, 2013, surrounded by his family, at Parkland Medical Center in Derry.

He was known affectionately as "Pep" by all his grandchildren who loved to play with the wisps of his hair and make them stand straight up. He collected baseball caps and always had a collection of them in the rear window of his car. He enjoyed playing bingo with his wife, Helene, and would go to play regularly.
