Well, it's time to bite my bottom lip and plunge into the deep end, head first. I had the day off today as my obligatory "Thanksgiving" work holiday. I spent most the morning doing laundry, scrounging up food from our woefully empty cupboards, gathering camping gear, sorting clothing and stuffing my sleeping bag in its stuff sack. That last chore was a particularly evil beast. Either I am going to have to get much better at that, or I am going to have to allot a full hour and about 200 extra calories each day during the Ultrasport to sleeping bag duty.
The plan is to leave the house around 5:00 p.m., when the city is already shrouded in darkness, ride 30 road miles out to the glacier trail, and continue to ride, probably by doing out-and-backs on the glacier trail, until I am ready to go to sleep. I will then crawl into my sleeping bag/bivy combo, sleep as much as nature will allow, and then get up and ride home. That's the plan. I hope it works out as something similar. The forecast tonight calls for clearing skies and lows north of the Mendenhall Valley in the teens. In my camping spot, with the wind wafting off that big glacier, I could find local temperatures near 0. Hooray!
This is the food I will be carrying: Five assorted power bars, baggie of Wheat Thins, six fruit leathers, random old airplane snack and a thick peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Carbolicious!
I'm not going to take a stove, because I'm not sure whether there will be snow out there or not. Instead, I'm taking my filter bottle and planning to drink out of streams. I'll sleep with the empty bottle in order to keep the filter from icing up. The top picture shows my bike completely packed up for the night, minus the Camel Bak I will be carrying with little more than water and a camera. That, for the most part, is nearly everything I hope will serve me well during the Ultrasport, minus, of course, the stove, extra clothing and food. But everything else is in there: -40 sleeping bag, bivy, sleeping pad, entire change of base layer, two pairs extra socks, extra hat, extra mittens, aforementioned food, eight batteries, tube, repair kit, tire levers, pump, multitool, knife, lighter, first aid kit, chemical hand warmers, camera and cash. I have to say, those frame bags that Epic Eric makes are amazing. Time will tell if this is the stuff I want to use in the race, but the pursuit of knowledge is the reason I'm heading out tonight. That, and it's going to be lots of frosty fun.
Wish me luck! And have a great Wednesday/Thursday.

2014 Middle States Accreditation
Welcome to the College website for the 2014 Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) Accreditation. As we prepare for our 2014 accreditation visit, informational documents and updates will be posted on the site. The Middle States reaccreditation process provides a wonderful opportunity to showcase how we are meeting our mission and goals as a College. Additionally, it gives us an opportunity to examine all dimensions of our College and to engage in an examination of our programs, policies, and procedures using the fourteen Middle States Characteristics of Excellence. We are also able to look at ourselves from an outside perspective, through the eyes of peer evaluators who share our understanding of higher education.
Several Work Groups have been meeting since spring 2012 to create a 100-page Self-Study report which analyzes the College's strengths, challenges and opportunities for growth. All members of the College community are encouraged to read the final report posted on this site in preparation for the Team Visit, March 30-April 2, 2014.
Your assistance and engagement in the process are critical for ensuring a successful Self-Study intended to strengthen our institution and higher education in general.

Product Health helps make powered products work better and last longer by monitoring how well they are working and how they are being used. And it helps make them more affordable for people by providing power controls to support pay-as-you-go, rental and other types of ongoing payments.
Sensors designed by us and our partners go into the battery box of off-grid solar systems and into other powered devices to understand how the system or device is doing, to monitor the performance and to provide power control. The data, which we analyse, is sent to a web service for distributors and owners of systems and devices to act on and to send communications to end users.Current customers include providers of Solar Home Systems for home and business use and an NGO implementing off-grid solar power at dairy farms in Niger. Product Health monitoring will be live in units in Kenya, Uganda and Niger in July.Our vision is for longer and healthier lives for powered products made possible by a better understanding of how products are working for people, and how they are used, and a greater influence on how well they are made to begin with. We are addressing the opportunity to improve the lifetime of off-grid solar systems and to support new business models for rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa initially.What we are looking forWe are looking for an energetic organiser, communicator and fixer, based in London, who can coordinate activity internationally, both inside Product Health and with our customers.

KNOXVILLE — The message was simple.
Derek Barnett kept his plan of following it that way, too.
In need of immediate contributors on a depleted defensive line, Tennessee's coaching staff told Barnett and the other freshman ends and tackles they would be needed quickly and get early opportunities to play.
"They told me," Barnett said following Monday morning's practice, "to come in with the right mindset, and they told me to just run and run, to be ready for the conditioning."
Through a little more than a week of training camp, Barnett's been ready for it all.
The 6-foot-3, 264-pound defensive end has been one of the stories for the Volunteers this August, and his combination of size, playmaking ability and hustle has drawn praise from coaches and teammates.
His only objectives coming in were to play hard and handle his role.
"It's just the older guys helping me out," said the soft-spoken former four-star recruit. "When I mess up or make a mistake, they encourage me to do better. I just bust my butt to the ball so I won't let my teammates down."
With the Vols managing Curt Maggitt's repetitions this preseason, Barnett is getting plenty of opportunities, and he's quickly risen to the top of the heap among the new defensive linemen and carved out a role for himself.
"There's a lot of things that go into it: first of all his maturity [despite] being a true freshman, his work ethic, his mental approach, his consistency in performance each and every day, not just on the field but in the classroom," coach Butch Jones said. "It's great to see when a younger player earns the respect of his peers. Now he has to continue to earn that respect.
"He has not arrived. He is not game-ready yet, but his ability to make plays, his overall effort and demeanor has been great to see, and our players see that, and that's why they have the respect that they have for him."
Barnett switched his jersey number to No. 9 for his senior season at Brentwood Academy and kept it at Tennessee partly because former South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, the top pick in May's NFL draft, wore No. 7.
"I chose No. 9," Barnett explained, "because I wanted to choose a different number than Clowney. I wanted to be a role model to younger kids, so maybe they can wear No. 9 one day.
"Single-digit numbers," he added, "look good on D-linemen."
Pig's path
A few months ago, Alton "Pig" Howard was absent from Tennessee's spring practice due to undisclosed personal reasons, and his future with the Vols was very shaky at best.
Yet there the junior was inside Neyland Stadium on Saturday night, making an impressive twisting catch for a touchdown in Tennessee's first preseason scrimmage.
"The past is the past," Howard said. "At the end of the day, I feel we're more closer as a unit, as a team, and we're working to get better each and every day."
He said he appreciated the coaches staying in touch with him throughout his absence. The Vols' receptions leader last season, Howard truly got back on track in May, when he stayed in Knoxville for mini-term classes and rejoined the Vols for workouts.
Jones and the Vols' 13-man player staff worked together to provide Howard with some requirements he had to meet to keep his place, and so far he's done that and gotten off to a solid start this month.
"It starts with him, first and foremost," Jones said. "It's self-accountability, but also it's his teammates of holding him accountable. Some of those player-staff meetings were very, very intense. They laid out a structure; they laid out a plan that he had to adhere to, and they held him accountable."
Earning their stripes
It's a requirement in Jones's program for first-year players to wear thick black stripes on their helmets until they earn the stripes' removal, a decision that's controlled by the Vols' 13-man player staff.
It's a rite of training camp, and Barnett, tailback Jalen Hurd, tight end Ethan Wolf and cornerback Emmanuel Moseley were the first freshmen to have their stripes removed this year.
"When your peers elect to have your stripe taken off," Jones said, "that's a pretty big deal."
Tennessee tidbits
Jones said junior college transfer receiver Von Pearson has had a "very quiet but very productive" training camp. ... Tailback Marlin Lane, who was limited in Monday morning's practice, got some looks in the wildcat package in Saturday night's scrimmage. Jones dubbed it the "Vol" package and hinted that "a number of different running backs" would run it. ... Freshman defensive tackle Michael Sawyers is a "work in progress," Jones said. "He's nowhere near game-ready where he needs to be," he added, "but what I like about Michael is he understands where he's at, he's able and he's willing."

Even at the age of 34, Pavel Datsyuk continues to produce highlight-reel goals.
The Red Wings forward made the Nashville Predators look silly Tuesday when he took the puck from his own end and blew past four players en route to a game-tying goal in the third period.
Pavel Datsyuk turned this situation into a goal tonight. My goodness, man. twitpic.com/c58i5u
— Adam Gretz (@AGretz) February 20, 2013
Datsyuk still has the hands and the game-breaking speed that has made him one of the league's most exciting players to watch.
The Russian forward has eight points in his last five games.

UK, 2009 (MIFF 2009, International Panorama)
Director: Andrea Arnold
Co-winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes this year, along with Thirst (also screening as part of this year's Neighbourhood Watch program).
The second feature from Andrea Arnold (Red Road, MIFF 07) delves into Ken Loach territory with an insightful tale about a disaffected teenage girl living in the grimy world of the Essex council estates.
Since being kicked out of school, fierce-tempered and foul-mouthed 15-year-old Mia (Katie Jarvis) spends her days guzzling beer and practising hip-hop dance moves. Her world is up-ended by the arrival of her mother's new boyfriend (Michael Fassbender; Hunger, MIFF 08); the attraction between the two is immediate and palpable.
"The performances of Jarvis and Fassbender are outstanding and their chemistry fizzes - and then explodes. It is another highly intelligent, involving film from one of the most powerful voices in British cinema." - Guardian

November 24, 2014
He lived through Hurricane Katrina. And now a Wisconsin native is back in our area sharing his experiences with middle school students.
Jeff Helminger was working in a children's hospital when Katrina hit. He was able to get out of New Orleans in time to gather some of his belongings, and come back to Wisconsin to stay with family.
His sister is a Social Studies teacher at DeForest Middle School, and Jeff thought by sharing his story with her students, he could create awareness.
The students at DeForest Middle School are helping the relief effort as well. They're selling bracelets for a dollar a piece for hurricane victims.
Tonight at ten, we'll explain why even with all that he has lost, Helminger feels he is fortunate to be where he is today.

Large numbers of sales people make the error of trying to sell to everyone who seems interested rather than someone who has a real and present need. Think about this scenario, a sales rep picks up an incoming call and starts dealing with an inquiry from a fact-finding shopper. Thinking he has a 'hot' prospect he tries every which way and eventually persuades the caller to agree to an appointment where he can present his full range.
The rep is keen to do this because he has a quota of field sales calls to make and although this is a bit out of his way, every call counts. Ask yourself; is this a good use of sales time, energy and resources?
Almost certainly not. Worse still, the prospect may stay on the 'maybe' list for months, with lots of follow up calls and sales activity reports, but NO real sale.
The real sales champions detect and qualify who the REAL buyers are and manage / prioritize their time accordingly. Their technique and ability to engage etc can be exactly the same as ordinary performers, yet because they qualify EARLY they enjoy substantially larger sales success. Take a look at your next 'opportunity' is it real or is it just an opportunity for you to lose money?

First Down Morning Links – Weekend Edition
- Updated: October 12, 2013 at 9:00 am
In case you missed it, here's a current look at the Bills injury report:
Not saying that any PED associated suspension comes as a surprise anymore, but really Kellen?
Last year Miami's D was the strength of the team. The results haven't been quite the same so far, but injuries are part of the reason:
Tommy Kelly is out for the Patriots this Sunday. Joe Vellano has to step up in a big way.
Notes to Note:
A tip of the cap goes to Adrian Peterson for wanting to play on Sunday, but if he does, what will that say about the NFL and the Vikings? They have a real opportunity to show the public that some things are bigger than a game.
Quiet in here today.
Buffalo will DESTROY Cinc... I can't finish the sentence...
As many people here might remember, I've said Winslow is a bad guy...selfish....conceited...not a team guy and only cares about himself. He also has his HoF speech prepared. I said the Jet fans will feel the same at some point. Now this POS will always be remembered as a steroid head.... Too bad!
@joeyboy790 gonna be a rough weekend. 'The fins have the best chance of winning.
@joeyboy790 I prepared for doom as soon as EJ went down
he sold PED's to Winslow. 4 game suspension.
lot of words to say "JETS DIE"
@rcr1959 bah humbug
Spy Le'veon hard. He is thei only hope
@Spot The Looney @rcr1959 Rotten mornin' then!
@joeyboy790 @rcr1959 not henne.
@joeyboy790 Right off the top I can only think of two teams with good/great backups. Dallass and Miami.
@joeyboy790 @Linkage4890 the problem is when your salvageable backup goes down for the season in preseason
@joeyboy790 @Linkage4890 very few teams have that.

HELP......Wellington and Blue Jays Way
We are currently living in a rental suite at the above address waiting for our condo. This is foreign territory as we are transplanted from Riverdale. Any Chow secrets in this area? What is the name/address of the soup guy at Adelaide and Peter? Is the Corned Beef House any good? Are there any grocery stores/butchers etc in area?
Thanks for any advice.....much appreciated
This is a GREAT area to be in if you are willing to walk abit.
For food shopping, St. Lawrence Market can meet all of your needs. There is a variety of butchers, fruit/veggie stands, bakers, cheese guys, fish stands, etc. A metro and LCBO are also close by, so you should be able to meet all your needs.
From what i've read on here, skip the corned beef house.
I highly recommend RAVI soup on adelaide. Amazing! I think that is the soup guy you are refering to. Those cheese scones you get free with the soup (with red pepper jelly) are divine too!
Places I like in the area:
Le Papillon (near SLM) for cheap french eats, great cesaers too.
The pizza place on blue jays way is tasty (the name slips my mind)
Terroni is a quick walk on adelaide.
There is the food court on mccaul that caters to OCAD and offers a variety of cheap eats.
The last montanas on john has amazing mojitos that are half price during the day.
There is so much to explore around there, enjoy!
Oh yah, and the new sushhi place on adelaide is good, and if you are transplanted in the area long enough, there is a poutine place to be opening above burrito boys, another local fave (I only like the halibut one myself)
If all else fails, walk to kings noodle or a bahn mi place in chinatown. Its amazing that everything is literally a hop, skip and jump from where you are. Enjoy!
Also not too far away is Marben, Bite Me, Madeline's, Niagara Street Cafe and Amuse-Bouche.
Niagara Street Cafe
169 Niagara St, Toronto, ON M5V1C9, CA
96 Tecumseth St, Toronto, ON M6J2H1, CA
488 Wellington Street West, Toronto, ON M5V 1E5, CA
601 King St W, Toronto, ON M5V, CA
609 King St W, Toronto, ON M5V, CA
Oh, and the Healthy Butcher is relatively nearby -
The Healthy Butcher
565 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5V, CA
Milagro on Mercer Street does very nice high end Mexican. It's possible to walk out of there fairly reasonably if you stick to the ceviches and other appetizers. Main courses are somewhat pricey for what you get.
Irie does very nice and reasonable Jamaican food on Queen near Bathurst in an extremely laid back and funky space. Greg Couillard spent some vacation time before opening up his new place re-connecting with Caribbean spices.
I live in that area and it's actually a bit of a schlep for groceries. SLM and Kensington/Chinatown are both within walking range, but it gets a little laborious with shopping bags (we always cab home).
The closest emergency grocery stop is Fresh and Wild at King and Spadina - it's expensive with not-so-great stock, but it wins for convenience. LCBOs are at Spadina at Baldwin or across to SLM (also one at Union Station, but it's pretty limited). I know it sounds a little desperate, but you can also get emergency supplies at Rabba (Front and BJW).
Our favourite restos in the neighbourhood are Le Select (just across Spadina on Wellington) and Tutti Matti (on Adelaide). Rustica is hit and miss for me (it's been great, it's been disappointing... I think the key is to avoid it before Roger's Centre sporting events when they're rushed and packed). Mr. Rabbit actually likes the Corn Beef House, but he may just be seduced by the very idea. We also like Ematei (Japanese izakaya on St. Patrick) and that OCAD food court is good. We've also been known to pop into the Rex for dirty-dinner, but that's really all about atmosphere and pints. The walk to Baldwin also offers some nice options.
re: Rabbit
Thanks everyone for your recs.Actually we are living in the ICON building which is sort of attached to Pizza Rustico. Will get out exploring next week.
re: Rabbit
There is also an LCBO in First Canadian place at King and Bay and a Longo's in BCE Place at Wellington and Bay. They are not open weekends though.
re: Cat123
Ohh thanks for the LCBO tip Cat123....that is much more convenient!

It wasn't the way Josh Nicholls envisioned his five-year career with the Saskatoon Blades coming to an end.
It wasn't the way Josh Nicholls envisioned his five-year career with the Saskatoon Blades coming to an end.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, as Robert Frost would say, and the Saskatoon Blades headed down the long, dangerous, thistle-infested one.
The Saskatoon Blades must now take the long and winding road if they hope to capture their first MasterCard Memorial Cup in franchise history.
The Saskatoon Blades won 56 games this season — the seventh-highest total in WHL history — but if you think no one is begging to play them in the first round of playoffs, you're wrong.
The WHL slapped Red Deer Rebels forward Josh Cowen with an eight-game suspension Tuesday after he sucker-punched Saskatoon Blades defenceman Stefan Elliott during a New Year's Day game at Credit Union Centre.
PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — Darian Dziurzynski was fined for having bad hair. Braden Holtby had to shell out for talking on his cell phone outside of the allotted hours.
It's going to be awfully lonely around old Mosaic Stadium next month, when the weekends roll up and ...

This powder makes my skin look poreless and flawless after I've applied foundation and concealer. It has a sweet scent to it, and I enjoy that. However, the packaging irks me just a little. The sifter jar can be a little messy and hard to transport. The product itself is very economical and will last for quite a while!

This loose powder has been one of my all-time favorites for many years, since I was around age 16. Typically, I purchase the shade in Naturally Neutral, but also I purchase the Translucent Extra Coverage version, and find that I can use the two pretty interchangeably (my complexion is very pale). I enjoy the familiar powdery scent, so I haven't bought the fragrance-free version. Since I don't care for the way it feels to wear foundation, I tend to prefer using concealer and then I set that with a dusting of the Airspun powder. Immediately following the application of this powder, I spritz my face using an atomizer bottle of rosewater, and I am thus able to achieve a fresh and flawless complexion that appears naturally healthy and hydrated instead of artificially dry and powdery. I do find that I need to blot my nose with a tissue by lunchtime to combat a bit of breakthrough shine, but I don't reapply any powder unless it's at the end of the day and I'm going back out after work...at that point, I simply blot my T-zone with a tissue, lightly dust a veil of Airspun powder again, and finish with another light misting of rosewater.

I love this powder. It gives my skin a nice finish whether I use it over foundation or just moisturizer. Unlike some powders, it doesn't sink in and emphasize fine lines and I just love the scent. The package is too bulky to carry for touchups, but it is cheap enough that I can have a second container in my desk at work.

Usually I loathe face powder, blushes/ highlighters/ some bronzers excepted, but my mind's been changed; this old-school drugstore treasure may well be the only powder I let anywhere near my face again. It's milled into almost nothing, so it gives a perfect matte china-doll finish while going bloody near invisible--no beading or patching or caking into stucco--and the smallest tap sets your entire face. The smell does remind me of my grandmother, who swore by it, but that doesn't put me off because A) it's a nice memory trigger, and B) she enjoyed a mind-blowing complexion well into her eighties. (There is an unscented formula, but I've yet to find it in Naturelle, the shade I use.)

I love the nostalgic scent. Its straight up perfumey when the word meant a pleasing scent that evoked femininity not food (and I love sweet foody scents). I don't love it as a face powder for me as I prefer one that is more colorless-translucent. However this is great for the neck/collarbone/chest, area. Despite years of sunscreen, AHA's and vit C creams, well father time has my address like everybody else;( This powder nicely "diffuses" the look of skin in that area, leaving a slightly luminous sheen. It works as a scented powder and helps other scents last by giving them a base to cling to. So you have a pretty little sheen on your skin and a feminine scent, for anyone who hugs you to remember you by. I was actually using my expensive (weight wise) Laura Mercier Secret Brightening powder for this after setting my under eye concealer with it. In retrospect that's crazy given the cost when this is so lovely and affordable.

This is an interesting product. There's a ton of powder in the container. I would be surprised if I ever have to buy this within the next couple of years. This is really good for photographs. It's doesn't give the slight cast that can happen with other finishing powders. It seems translucent enough that it doesn't make the skin ashy.
What is unique about the powder is the finish. I can't really describe it. I don't think it has any shimmer, but it's not really matte. The best way I can describe it is lustrous, like a pearl. I don't know if that makes sense but that's what I think of of I see the finish. It's almost like it blurrs the lines and imperfections on your face.
As for the smell, well I happen to like it a lot. It just feels so vintage. Then again, I tend to like old lady perfumes. It really only smells when you first apply it, then it fades.

I have used this product for years. I switched for a while to other brands, but always came back. Every time I would wear Coty power, people would always comment on how great my skin looked. A few even thought I did something more drastic, yes this power is really great... My gripe is why isn't it in stores, and my question is, was the product discontinued. If so I may buy up like 10 of them, because this is a great loose power, and I have tried a lot, but this is the best...
I love this stuff! I have a really oily face so it lasts ke up to 8 hrs cause i have school for 8 hrs..so i put this on first before i put my face powder , cause it is kinda light... The only thing i hate about it, is the smell.. The smell is very strong. But i still love this stuff. I got this at cvs for $6 kinda good deal just wish it was lower.

-made my eyes sting
-is a good light setting powder
I was recommended this by a friend and I have to say, it's been in my regime for almost a year now (most of my products last at most a few months). This product is more like an investment for many uses!
This product is ideal for setting tinted moisturizers or any type of BB cream. It's also perfect for setting any kind of foundation.
This product can also be used to set moisturizer on a bare face alone! It's truly unique. I have the translucent kind, and upon application, the white disappears leaving no ashy shadow (like others) and for some odd reason my imperfections seem to be blurred. Perfect for those "no-makeup days".
This product really is an investment because of how long it lasts! Some might be intimidated by the price tag ($8-11) like me but in the end, it really does pay off for itself. Like I said, this product has been in my everyday regime for almost a year and it looks like I barely touched it.
There are some cons though that should be noted.
The packaging is cute but it tends to be on the little bigger/heavier side which makes it hard for traveling. It also makes it hard to stay a bit sanitary because the powder tends to be blown by anything and I mean anything!
The scent also seems to be a bit strong, but after using it from day to day, I actually became accustomed to the scent and it doesn't bother me at all. If anything, I'm actually starting to like it!
In the end, I would recommend this product to anyone! Dry or oily, this investment should really be considered. This will be the only translucent powder I will ever buy. Grab one!

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- If your car is covered in bugs, you're not alone. Tropical Storm Andrea brought out swarming ants, and you'll find them covering your windshield, front bumper and more.
Fort Myers Pest Control Supervisor Chuck Bradley says their phones have been ringing off the hook with people concerned about the ants, and mistaking them for termites.
He says, "they leave their nesting when the ground floods so they are looking for new places to mate and looking for new sites to make their homes, so it's more or less a weather problem." He says the bugs are not dangerous, just an eyesore. And your windshield wipers only make it worse, so Bradley says the best thing to do is wash your car.
He adds, "it's that time of year plus with the rain and storms we've had, it gets everything all flustered up."
He says if you think you see them in your home, and you're concerned, call Fort Myers Pest Control at 239-543-3100 and they can come check it out.
Bradley says the problem has improved since the weather has been better over the past few days.

PENN LAIRD-- October is bullying prevention month. This morning, kids at Montevideo Middle School had an assembly to talk about bullying and how to stop it.
The assembly was put on by the Bullying Ends Now Organization. It's founder, Julia Kordon, is just 15-years old and from Phoenix.
She travels the country delivering the message. She spoke to sixth graders about how to prevent bullying from happening. A lot of the kids said they are on social media sites, which leads to online cyber bullying, a growing issue.
She wants them to know that they can make a difference. "Even though, you know, they're sixth graders, and they're little, it's not something that they can't do. They're capable of ending bullying, and if they make the choice, they can definitely do a lot with it," said Kordon.
She said 71% of kids don't report bullying because they think their teachers don't care. The organization's motto is to speak, stop, and stand.

I agree with Ms. Patton that her job is the "business" aspect of the newspaper and it is a vital role she plays. She is responsible for the building the staff works in, the equipment they use to do their jobs, the machinery that prints the paper, the equipment necessary to print the paper, the people who deliver the paper, the equipment used to deliver the newspaper, the newspaper's human resources department, sales, advertising and the people who gather the news, take the photographs and edit the news, layout, schedules, overtime, sick leave, vacations and a whole bunch of et ceteras.
Ms. Patton mentioned that her ship involves "crew talent."
And she said that ".... at the end of the day, my ship needs to sail into port with more catch than the other ships, so that the crew is better paid and the community is better served."
And she says, "Our audience is larger than it's ever been thanks to the combination of print and online."
"Crew talent." When I arrived as city editor, the Times-Standard had seven reporters. They were devoted, hard-working and talented. I have lost track as to how many now work as reporters, but the paper lost tremendous "crew talent" over the years. I am very impressed with the reporters now at the Times-Standard.
"So that the crew is better paid and the community is better served." That pay thing is always troublesome, isn't it? When I arrived 11 years ago, the pay was insulting for the talent, energy, resources, knowledge and skill that was expected. I worked for United Press International for 28 years. During the latter part of that tenure United Press International was facing bankruptcy. Twice, management's tactic to resolve the issue was to make pay cuts -- 25 percent one year and 35 percent another year. Then management decided the best thing to do was to close bureaus, lay off reporters and hire vice presidents. They got rid of the people who were doing the work for which the wire service existed and hired vice presidents with no knowledge of journalism, but were "business" people. Our clients no longer received some of the best journalism in the world and the company was sold.
"Our audience is larger than it's ever been thanks to the combination of print and online." Your readers are reading print and going online to get local news and the reporters and photographers are too few and overworked.
I have always believed the news business had an upstairs and a downstairs -- one to do the advertising, sales, hiring and firing and one to do the news and there must be an independent togetherness -- respect each other, but never dictate to each other.
Good luck, Ms. Patton. I wish you well. Local newspapers are vital to our communities. Regardless of the plethora of new means to gather news, our communities will always depend on local news organizations to get their news and keep our local authorities and officials accountable.

The Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office is looking for a red 2005 Toyota Coupe with Texas plates. Deputies say the vehicle was involved in a hit and run at the intersection of Cameron and South Richfield in Duson.
Deputies say they spotted the vehicle a short time, and attempted to stop it. That's when deputies say the vehicle lead them on a pursuit. A supervisor was later forced to called the deputies off of the pursuit, when the vehicle started driving against traffic on Johnston Street. Sheriff's officials say, they were called off for the safety of other drivers on the roadway. The vehicle eventually got into the correct lanes of travel, but they are still looking for the vehicle.
If you see the 2005 red Toyota Coupe, with damage, call the sheriff's office.

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
In high school a few short years ago Mitch Mignano worked the counter at a Blockbuster record store in a mall in Baytown. One day, says Mignano, "some guy came in wanting to special-order a Moody Blues solo album, Justin Hayward or whatever." Ever diligent, Mignano picked up the phone, dialed the appropriate number and was put on hold for untold minutes. He began to make small talk with the customer across the register. Mignano, a keyboard player, told the man how much he loved the Mellotron, the electronic instrument of choice among progressive rock bands such as the Moody Blues. Amused, the customer said he actually owned one of the coveted instruments but hadn't used it in years. Mignano, poker-faced, asked if he could take a look at it. The man said sure.
A few days later Mignano was climbing to the third floor of the guy's house to check out the instrument, one of only 2,500 reportedly ever made. The contraption barely worked, but Mignano paid the man $500 (half of what the owner had originally forked over). The instrument, as it was, was probably worth about $2,000, says Mignano. In any case, he got a deal.
Though he didn't know it at the time, Mignano -- by purchasing this oversize musical instrument -- had taken the first step toward becoming an integral part of a national underground cultural movement.
Just in the last couple of years there has been a resurgence of interest in progressive rock, a genre signified by the sound of the Mellotron, shifty time signatures, science-fictiony lyrics about the apocalypse, virtuosic playing and performers in wizard outfits. Mignano, now in his early twenties, eventually restored his instrument and put it to use in his band, Deadwood Forest, which was created while he was still in high school. The result: one of this region's most significant contributors to the renaissance in prog.
Progressive, or prog, rock emerged in the early 1970s when Pink Floyd, Yes and dozens of other bands made up of former art students in England pioneered the sound, which didn't yet have a name. These musicians incorporated classical and often overblown (read: pretentious) elements into their music. Think long-ass keyboard solos. Think album-side-long songs. Think rock for math majors. The sound soon spread to America and, later, the rest of the world.
But after success throughout the '70s, when bands such as Genesis, Rush and King Crimson filled hockey arenas regularly, prog became déclassé, which it remained -- until now.
Interest in prog is not so easy to quantify. But for one thing, it exists on the Internet -- big-time. Literally thousands of bands, either prog-present or prog-past, have fanatic followings on the Web. There are fan-created home pages, and raging discussion groups, where collectors haggle over rare vinyl or even MP3 recordings of songs by the most obscure prog rock acts. Also, over the past few years a number of festivals, in the United States and abroad, have sprouted up. Some attract large numbers of fans from all over the world. Prog Day, held every year in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, began in 1995 and is now an institution. And in San Francisco, ProgFest has become an annual destination. And like most prog bands, the performers who play these festivals and those overseas have remained impossible to mainstream. Radio is set up for the "two-minute market," or so says Rich Patz, president of Shroom Records. "You can't get as many advertisements in if all your songs are 12 minutes."
Patz and partner Greg Putman have built their nationally distributed mini-empire based in Houston by reissuing older, "undiscovered" Texas psychedelic or prog bands. But they're betting on Deadwood Forest and the band's soon-to-be-released debut, Mellodramatic, to attract attention to the label.
While Deadwood Forest, by virtue of its sound, classifies as a prog act, it is certainly no retro band. Its music echoes the angular rhythms of King Crimson, boasts the epic, haunting vocal and lyrical qualities of Pink Floyd and mimics the instrumental flights of Genesis. The band's complicated and melodic songs usually last six minutes or longer. Production quality is high. Lyrics are somewhat oblique and, unlike those of their musical heroes, are as likely to be personal as mystical. And instrumentation typically includes atmospheric guitar, prominent bass, abstract drums and, of course, the Mellotron.
The members of Deadwood Forest appear to be basic indie-rock lads, clean-cut and earnest. The band is made up of native Baytown residents Ryan Guidry on guitar and vocals, Kurt Coburn on bass, Andy McWilliams on drums and Mignano on keyboards. Currently everyone lives in Austin except Guidry, who lives with his parents in Baytown. Mignano and Coburn recently quit school so they could focus on the band. Everyone but Coburn has had formal musical training of some sort, whether it was jazz guitar in high school or classical piano in college. Each member insists he is not a typical nerd or fanatic "prog life" type, even though Mignano admits a penchant for sci-fi and that he's an "old" Star Trekfan. And the members do attend a lot of record conventions, collecting everything from "progressive" artists in the Chicago indie scene, such as Tortoise and Trans Am, to the Moody Blues, Bjork and Bill Frisell.

If the notion itself of a luxury car from Hyundai weren't jaw-dropping enough back in 2009 when it debuted, the Genesis also went on to win Cars.com's inaugural "Best Of …" award for Car of the Year that year. Will the 2015 Genesis earn similar lip service from Cars.com reviewer Joe Wiesenfelder, or will he be inclined to keep his mouth shut? Watch the video.
Hyundai has agreed to pay $17.35 million to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for failing to report in a timely manner a safety defect on the brakes of the 2009-12 Genesis.
Related: More Recall News
The penalty comes after the agency determined that Hyundai was aware in 2012 that the brake fluid wasn't up to snuff when it came to stopping corrosion on certain braking components in the Genesis. That, in turn, could decrease the car's stopping power. Rather than issue a recall, Hyundai told dealers to change the brake fluid without explaining to customers the gravity of the situation, according to NHTSA's press release. An investigation by the agency prompted the Korean automaker to recall the Genesis in October 2013.
This latest fine is about half of NHTSA's $35 million maximum. The agency has stepped up its civil penalties in recent months, and Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx asked Congress earlier this year to increase the agency's cap to $300 million. That would certainly push automakers to step up their own recall scrutiny. For car shoppers it could increase the number of recalls but also could bring more transparency from an industry that's already seen a record number of callbacks this year.

Every year hundreds of new-car models are introduced and enter the research process for millions of car shoppers. The dizzying number of choices sometimes shrouds from the masses what are good cars.
Here are 10 cars that Cars.com's editors agree are overlooked due to no fault of each vehicle's own substantial merits.
The Mazda6 is one of the rare family sedans that is both fun to drive and fuel-efficient; it's rated as high as 28/40/32 mpg city/highway/combined with an automatic transmission and the optional GT Technology Package, which includes regenerative braking and active grille shutters. But even the base automatic gets 38 on the highway. Good cabin quality, intuitive controls, comfortable seating and a striking design also fall into the Mazda's favor.
Hyundai's luxury sedan, the Genesis, has been redesigned for the 2015 model year. While its wheelbase grew by nearly 3 inches, rear legroom has decreased from 38.6 inches in the previous generation to 35 inches in the 2015 Genesis. Both of our rear-facing child-safety seats had plenty of room in the Genesis' smaller backseat, however.
How many car seats fit in the second row? Two
"A complete redesign of the car that won Cars.com's first-ever 'Best of' award in 2009, the 2015 Hyundai Genesis is now even closer on the heels of more expensive competitors, but it's not without shortcomings," said Cars.com reviewer Joe Wiesenfelder. Read the review for more.
2015 Hyundai Genesis Expert Review
Cars.com photo by Joe Wiesenfelder
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has named the redesigned-for-2015 Hyundai Genesis a Top Safety Pick Plus, the institute's highest honor. The premium full-size sedan earned a good rating in crashworthiness tests including small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints, in addition to a superior rating for front crash protection. To earn the designation, a vehicle must receive ratings of good or acceptable in small overlap tests; good in the other four tests; and basic, advanced or superior in front crash protection.
The institute added the small overlap test in 2012. It replicates what happens when the front corner of a vehicle strikes another vehicle or an object such as a tree or utility pole. "In the small overlap test, the driver's space was maintained well, and injury measures recorded on the driver dummy indicated low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity," the institute stated.
The institute also stated that the Genesis' optional front crash prevention system, which is new for the 2015 model year, earns a superior rating because of its automatic braking capabilities. In track tests, the car stopped completely before hitting the target in tests at 12 mph and 25 mph. The Genesis is one of three vehicles in the institute's "large luxury car" class to earn Top Safety Pick Plus for 2014.

The 2015 Hyundai Genesis is a complete redesign of the luxury car that won Cars.com's first-ever Best of award in 2009. My daylong drive of V-6 and V-8 versions of the full-size sedan proved the Genesis charges closer to the heels of more expensive competitors, but it's not without its shortcomings.
2015 Hyundai Genesis Photo Gallery (24 Photos)
As before, the Genesis is technically full size, but Hyundai positions it against nominally midsize sedans like the BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CTS, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Lexus GS 350 — and prices it to undercut them all. As we've reported, the base Genesis 3.8 (named for its 3.8-liter V-6) starts at $38,950, including the destination charge. This price beats the most affordable of the above competitors and the Jaguar XF and Infiniti Q70 as well, by anywhere from $7,075 (Cadillac CTS 2.0L) to $13,375 (Mercedes E250 Bluetec). Like the others, the Genesis now offers all-wheel drive with the V-6, along with rear-wheel drive with either engine.

In January, I bored everyone with how useless the U.S. taxpayer investments into GMAC were:
Now, the fun is beginning again. A government watchdog, the Congressional Oversight Panel, issued a report on Thursday which detailed the folly of the GMAC investments. The watchdog states that U.S. taxpayers could lose $6.3 billion on this "investment."
It boggles the mind that GMAC was "saved" from bankruptcy. Numerous commercial banks could have picked up the slack for financing on new and used cars. Furthermore, no one cares anymore about the 125% loan-to-value mortgage loans that GMAC used to originate, since that product doesn't exist anymore. That's right, a mortgage loan of 125% of the value of your home. I wonder what the loss experience has been on those spectacular loans.
Nevertheless, the moral of the story is that the government is not the best suited entity to allocate capital in a capitalist society. How many more examples do we need to see before this losing proposition is halted?
