Welcome to Season 5! Voting is now open!
WGBY-TV, Public Television for western New England, is very excited to launch a new season of Together in Song. This local show, supported in part by Mass Mutual, is by far the most ambitious annual televised series produced by WGBY. Hosted by Springfield Symphony Orchestra Music Director Kevin Rhodes, the series features performances by regional choral groups. The performances are evaluated by a panel of judges and by viewers, with the top groups competing on stage at the live Regional Choral Awards show on April 26.
Starting on Saturday, March 7, you will be able to watch all Season 5 performances online at wgby.org/togetherinsong. We are streaming them, in High Def of course, via YouTube to make them easier than ever to share!
And we do want to encourage you to do exactly that. SHARE the excitement with anyone, anywhere in the world! Posting on your favorite social network is easy. Scroll down to the bottom of any page and you'll see a little Share widget with a Facebook, Twitter and Google+ logo.
When you hover over it you'll see a long list of social apps. Just click the one you want, and share a link to that page. If you're tweeting we encourage you to use the hashtag #TISonWGBY. You can also start playing any of the videos and then right click inside the Video Player to grab the video URL and share a video player right on your Facebook page.
We also encourage you to VOTE for your favorite group or groups! Every group page has a VOTE button. Just click the button and you're done! Votes can be registered once each week for as many groups as you'd like (beginning Saturday, March 7 at 7:30pm, when the season officially begins).
Our judges will be picking a group in each category to advance to the live Regional Choral Awards show on April 26, and the two top vote getters will be joining them based entirely on viewer's votes. In our final program one group will emerge with the prize of their own 30-minute performance taping and broadcast on WGBY!
WGBY congratulates the winner of the 2014 Together in Song Regional Choral Awards, the Amherst Regional High School Chorale, who were finalists in the High School category and received top honors during our live broadcast in April 2014. As winners, the group was featured in their own half-hour special that was broadcast through the fall and winter.
The support of our viewers has helped bring the performances of thousands of local singers into your homes over the last four seasons of Together in Song. Please consider making a gift to Together in Song to help continue to make that possible.

Metal thieves broke into a foreclosed home on Westchester Drive sometime prior to April 30 and stole copper pipes, wiring and an air-conditioning unit with a total value of $11,000, Athens-Clarke police said. The bank that owns the property reported the burglary on Monday for insurance purposes, police said.
A burglar broke a bedroom window of a home on Cameron Court between 1:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Monday and stole a TV valued at $500, Athens-Clarke police said.
An Athens man reported to police on Monday that his wife sold their SUV to a drug dealer while he was out of town on his job as a truck driver.
The 2004 Ford Explorer, valued at $5,000, was sold by the woman sometime between May 13-20, Athens-Clarke police said.
The man filed the complaint on Monday, two days after his 31-year-old wife was booked into the Clarke County Jail for a probation violation, police said.
A police incident report did not explain why he waited to file the complaint.
Athens-Clarke police on Sunday took out a felony shoplifting arrest warrant on a 54-year-old Athens man with seven previous shoplifting convictions and even more arrests for the offense.
Police said Tyrone Quimby was at the Publix on Barnett Shoals Road late Sunday afternoon when he ran interference for a partner in crime.
A 21-year-old Athens man was taken to the hospital Sunday morning after he tried to hurt himself several times, once attempting to commit suicide by standing in traffic, Athens-Clarke police said.
A woman described as the man's caregiver told officers she had to pull him out of the road to keep from being hit by a truck.
The man was taken to Athens Regional Medical Center for a mental health evaluation.
Bryan Michael Helgemo, 50, of Tamarack Drive, was arrested Sunday night after he and another man broke into an apartment at Oaks on the River, 2360 W. Broad St., Athens-Clarke police said.
Helgemo, who officers found in the complex when responding to an 11 p.m. burglary call, admitted he and the other man entered the apartment, but just to "look around" the home from which a resident had spent the entire day moving, according to police.
Nothing was taken from the apartment, police said.
Officers noticed a group of men yelling profanities and "flipping the bird" at people passing by about 3 a.m. Sunday morning, according to a police report.
Police kept an eye on the men as they entered the parking lot of the Holiday Inn on Broad Street. One of the men stood between two cars and began urinating on the pavement, according to police.
After smelling alcohol, officers asked if the man had been drinking, and he said yes and apologized, police said. The man then gave police his ID, which showed that he was 18, according to the report.
A 24-year-old Athens woman was the victim of a robbery about 12:45 a.m. Sunday, police said.
As she was walking to West Broad Street to visit friends, she was approached by a man that she recognized who was aggressively asking for money, according to police.
The man slapped the woman in the face when she refused to give him money and grabbed $10 from her, police said. As she was walking home, the same man was in a car that drove up to her and he began shouting slurs at her, according to police.
Athens-Clarke police were riding through a parking lot at the intersection of Thomas and Oconee streets about 11 p.m. Saturday when they saw a large group of people getting out of a truck, according to police.
One of the occupants walked over to a wall and began to urinate, police said. The man told police he didn't have any ID, but the officers smelled the odor of alcohol coming from him, according to police.
Athens-Clarke police took an Athens man into custody Saturday night after he ran from police during a traffic stop, according to a report.
Just before 9 p.m. Saturday, an officer stopped a vehicle that was speeding by more than 20 miles per hour on the Athens Perimeter near Peter Street, according to police.

Should I keep the Bose Lifestyle 38?
We just bought the system with 5 double cube speakers and the accoustimass. It also has the programmable presets. We have it all hooked up and need to decide if it is worth the $3,000. The sound that comes from the front of the room sounds good, but I am concerned that there doesn't seem to be much bass and also the two back speakers sound kind of tinney when you are near them. We had an old stack HK system with two huge speakers. My goal was to get the smallest speakers, biggest sound, one or two components. Any suggestions?
I am not a fan of Bose products, and frequently recommend to people that they consider other brands. However, in this particular product space -- integrated components and small speakers -- they have little competition.
There are some combination units by high-end audio companies like Arcam, Linn, and Naim. Some of those systems would sound much better but cost even more than the Bose system; some of them are a little bigger; some of them will be very difficult to find outside a larger metropolitan area. There is any number of "mini-component" systems which could rival the Bose in size and, likely, in sound. But finding the best ones would be difficult as the organizations that rate products don't listen for music and organizations which test audio components dismiss these smaller systems.
So, short form, I think you've done about as well as you can without a fair amount of searching and giving up on some size.
What you can do to improve the sound is to play with speaker placement and the tone controls. Speakers closer to walls tend to sound like they have more bass. The back speakers may sound "tinny" because they're designed to put out supplementary sound. They're not intended to be the primary speakers you listen to, so they won't have the same performance. You can play with the tone controls, too, though it is too easy to throw things really out of whack and make it sound worse than it did when you started.
Thank you for the response. We were not huge Bose fans to begin with, and when I saw the compactness of this system, I just couldn't resist. The thing I do hate is that stupid acoustimass bass thing. It is huge and I am having trouble with finding a spot. Is it ok to point it toward the front of the room? I can sit it either behind my couch and point it toward a cabinet, behind the couch pointing outward toward nothing, or next to the couch with the same pointing. Any suggestion? I have been playing with it for about a day and a half. Trying to decide whether to keep it or not, but I cannot find any other system so compact. I did try unplugging the two back speakers, and you are right, they add that supplementary sound that you just don't get if they are not there!
Low bass is (theoretically, anyway) non-directional -- you should not be able to determine where it's coming from. So, from that perspective, it shouldn't matter where you put the Acoustimass cabinet. I would just make sure the speakers on front face out. The woofers firing into open air should be better than loading into a piece of furniture, but you likely will not find the difference huge.

Pioneer Editorial: Protecting our homeland, or doling pork?
The Bush administration on Wednesday doled out counterterrorism monies and Minnesota found itself on the short end.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security awarded $1.7 billion in grants to U.S. cities and communities to prevent and respond to terror attacks and, to a lesser extent, other catastrophic disasters such as hurricanes.

A trio of new job announcements were welcome news in the two weeks before Christmas — a positive end to a year of economic stagnation. A new solar panel product line at Guardian Industries in Galax will create 40 jobs; Bucyrus in Hillsville will add 32 workers and a new company, Independence Homes, will employ 42 people after it opens in Grayson County.
HILLSVILLE — The owner of Red Birch Energy sees farmers and truck stop owners as the new oil barons as people make the switch to biodiesel for their transportation needs.
Businessman Dean Price presents the idea for change as the ultimate "shop local" campaign, where American farmers supply the fuels and keep the economic benefits in the community, instead of sending that money to foreign oil suppliers.
With the snowfalls and an ice storm that have already happened this year, Galax can only hope for a milder winter in 2011, said City Manager Keith Barker, as the city looks at new ways of preparing for the worst.
Last year, the city budgeted $80,000 for snow removal and $20,000 for overtime. However, the city spent well over $150,000 clearing snow and ice last year, with at least $97,400 spent on snow removal materials alone, and another $26,600 in overtime pay for crew.
HILLSVILLE — A suspect has been arrested in connection with the Dec. 16 armed robbery at the Kangaroo Express in Fancy Gap.
Joey Roby Sechrist, 48, of Brushy Fork Road in Cana, is charged with armed robbery and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Carroll County deputies and Virginia State Police troopers scoured Interstate 77 and other areas of Carroll County after receiving a report that the business on Chances Creek Road had been robbed.
ABINGDON — An Independence man pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Abingdon on Dec. 20 to one count of receiving child pornography.
John Hamby, 49, was apprehended in September when an undercover law enforcement officer working with the Southern Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force discovered Hamby was trading child pornography on an Internet peer-to-peer file-sharing site, according to Brian McGinn, public affairs specialist with the U.S. Attorney's Western District of Virginia office.
HILLSVILLE –– Carroll County rallied from a six-point deficit into a three-point lead in the third quarter and held on to down Galax 56-48 in a nondistrict girls' game Wednesday night.
An 11-point outburst by Taylor Bryant in the second quarter helped boost the Maroon Tide (4-3) to a 33-27 halftime lead, but the Cavaliers (3-3) limited Galax to five points on just eight field goal attempts in the third period to surge into the lead.
HILLSVILLE –– Galax shot its way into a 43-29 halftime lead, endured a late Carroll County comeback attempt and pulled away for a 71-55 win in a nondistrict boys' game Wednesday.
The Maroon Tide (4-0) would lead by as many as 19 points, 48-29, when Lawrence Parsons scored from the inside a minute into the third quarter, but the Cavaliers gradually chipped away over the next eight minutes and would draw as close as nine points early in the fourth.
INDEPENDENCE –– A night after a 221-point gasser, Grayson County pulled away in the second half to top Chilhowie 64-45 in a nondistrict boys game Tuesday night.
Grayson County (3-2) may have been feeling the effects of a furiously-paced 113-108 loss to Floyd County the previous evening and led just 25-23 at the break, then outscored the Warriors 39-24 the rest of the way.
Eric Harvey and Tyler Rutherford both posted a double-double, Harvey with 22 points and 10 rebounds and Rutherford with 15 and 14.
Galax's Allison White was named to the first-team all-Region C volleyball team and was joined by Carroll County's Maleah Neely in being honored at the state level after both players posted stellar seasons this past fall.
A junior middle hitter, White helped lead Galax to its most successful season ever as the Region C runner-up Maroon Tide finished the year 22-4 and advanced to its first Group A Division 1 state tournament.
BRIDGEWATER – Carroll County claimed six top-five individual finishes, including two championships, and placed fourth as a team at the Turner Ashby Holiday Tournament last week at Turner Ashby High School.
Blake Bowman and Aaron Willard took individual championships while Jordan Lamb and Andrew Naff brought back runner-up finishes.

This is my first season of participating in ranked play and I was wondering how the rating system works. Is it based off individual performance or simply your win/loss record? Because I've played 4 ranked matches and even though I had one easy victory, the other three I had a terrible feeder teammate each time that blew the game for my team. So will the system look at my good score, or will it look at my losses and forever keep me in low elo hell?
Senior Member
It takes into account your hidden rating, your team's collective hidden rating, and the other team's collective hidden rating and awards or deducts LP based on that. Your individual performance is rewarded only if your team wins.

Does this granite work with my sink?
It's called kaleidoscope granite? How does one go about finding such an animal?
I think that with that BEAUTIFUL sink you should let it be the statement piece and find a granite that has less movement. The granite is beautiful on its own, but seems too much with the sink. Let the granite be the canvas for you beautiful piece of art (your sink).
I would really consider quartz in your case so you can get a fairly monolithic color with no pattern to speak of.
You can't have both. Have you actually seen the granite? It's gorgeous. Does it go with your cabinets? Do you already have the sink? If not, and you have to decide between them, it would be very hard. However, if it was up to me, I would rather have gorgeous counters than a fabulous sink. Every night I clear the counters, get a wet cloth and wipe and dry the counters and marvel that I have something so gorgeous in my house.
If you go with the sink then a plain counter with a uniform color will be gorgeous too.

Scientists discover that sugar tags on nuclear proteins have an important developmental function.
Gene packaging tells story of cancer developingTo decipher how cancer develops, Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center investigators say researchers must take a closer look at the packaging.Specifically, their findings in the December 2, 2008, issue of PLoS Biology point to the three dimensional chromatin packaging around genes formed by tight, rosette-like loops of Polycomb group proteins (PcG). The chromatin packaging, a complex combination of DNA and proteins that compress DNA to fit inside...
At any given time, most of the roughly 30,000 genes that constitute the human genome are inactive, or repressed, closed to the cellular machinery that transcribes genes into the proteins of the body. In an average cell, only about one in ten genes is active, or expressed, at any given moment, with its DNA open to the cell' transcriptional machinery.
There is an urgent reason to study stem cells: stem cells are at the heart of some, if not all, cancers. Mounting evidence implicates a clutch of rogue stem cells brandishing 'epigenetic' marks as the main culprits in cancer, say researchers.

Abingdon, VA 24210
United States
Founded in 1955
Key Executives for K-VA-T Food Stores, Inc.
K-VA-T Food Stores, Inc. Key Developments
K-VA-T Food City has appointed John Jones as the company's new EVP, director of store operations. He succeeds Jody Helms, who retired after 15 years of service at the company, parent of the Food City chain. Jones brings more than 34 years of industry experience to the position. He ascended through the ranks and has worked as store manager, district manager and most recently EVP of store operations for the company's Knoxville Division. Jones' new duties will include guiding the store operations team for the company's 105 supermarkets, including its Gas N Go fuel centers and Food City Pharmacies.
Food City plans to close its grocery store on Kingston Pike near Ebenezer Road by February 24. Employees of the store, at 8905 Kingston Pike in West Knoxville, will be offered positions at other Food City locations, so the closing means no jobs lost.
Bebida Beverage Company announced that the Company has signed a partnership agreement with the Virginia-based supermarket chain, Food City. The partnership includes KOMA Unwind Relaxation drinks and shots to be carried by 105 grocery and convenience stores in Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee. This agreement was the result of KOMA Unwind friends involved in NASCAR. Food City is very community-oriented and involved in local efforts and has partners with farmers in Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee which bring local produce to its customers while helping local farmers. The Food City name has also become synonymous with NASCAR racing in the area with its sponsorship of two of the sport's most popular races, the Food City 500 and Food City 250 at the Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway. As the second longest running sponsor in NASCAR, Food City has also contributed over half a million dollars to local organizations through its annual Family Race Night events.

More Republicans jump ship - Weld, McClellan support Obama
Jake Turcotte
Former Massachusetts Governor William Weld, a Republican, announced this morning his support for the Democratic nominee for President, Barack Obama.
Weld's endorsement comes a day after former Bush Press Secretary Scott McClellan and the former Governor of Minnesota Arne Carlson, also a Republican, announced their support - separately - of Obama's candidacy.
In a statement Weld said, "Sen. Obama is a once-in-a-lifetime candidate who will transform our politics and restore America's standing in the world."
"We need a president who will lead based on our common values and Sen. Obama demonstrates an ability to unite and inspire. Throughout this campaign I've watched his steady leadership through trying times and I'm confident he is the best candidate to move our country forward," he said.
Scott McClellan
As for McClellan, his preference for Obama was made public through a clip CNN distributed promoting a new TV program the network will debut tomorrow.
Appearing on "D.L. Hughley Breaks the News," McClellan said his vote is all about "change."

Laird Breyer, for his project, Markovian Page Ranking Distributions: Some Theory and Simulations. This project examined various properties of the Markovian process behind Google's PageRank algorithm, and suggested some modifications to take into account the "age" of each link to reduce Pagerank's tendency to bias against newly-created pages.
This may help to defeat the current practice of overloading the PageRank results of a given key word as to point to a given page by having people link to that page with a link containing that keyword, aka "Googlebombing". I do think that the winner is a very interesting and useful project, this latter one will probably be implemented ASAP.
What would be cool, would be the option to right click on the hyperlink and have the option "Find alternative location".
Or even cooler, have IE (or your favourite browser) on putting up the 404 message have a hyperlink which does the same. Hell, easy enough to do with apache.
In a weird coincidence, I just spent a half-hour last night lecturing about Daniel Egnor's Iocaine Powder [ofb.net], winner of the First International RoShamBo Programming Competition [ualberta.ca]. Credit this guy with two award-winning pieces of extreme programming cleverness!
This statement is easily refuted. Type "linux". The 10 sites you see all belong there, and I can guarantee you that most of them are not engaging in cheating.
But since you admit that you work for a company that engages in this practice, perhaps it helps you sleep at night to believe that "everybody does it".

Red Dwyer's Killing us Softly is a monumental book of heartfelt and practical advice for getting through and surviving the onslaught of cancer and death of a spouse.
With the use of real time journal entries and blog posts, the author reaches out to readers in a unique way to guide them through all the emotions, responsibilities, and processes of being the caretaker of a marriage partner.
Self-care and the care of the children are her primary focus, as she becomes the sole head of household and cup of love for her dying spouse and surviving family of nine children, three of whom are autistic.
The book is supremely well-balanced in a way that has never been offered to the public before. The journal entries and blog posts draw us into her intimate life as she grieves privately yet exhibits her strength throughout and beyond the dying process. The focus is on helping the reader maneuver through the seemingly herculean feats of love and physical care which are assigned to the surviving spouse once the diagnosis of cancer is definite.
From discussion on diagnosis and decisions to be made, through treatment and endgame, Red Dwyer holds our hand and shares with us her advice for not only surviving but also claiming our lives as we traverse this difficult and often hidden journey. She discusses the role of spirituality in the lives of the caretaking spouses, and the details of cancer treatment as a partner in the comfort of her loved one.
Almost all of us are faced with treatment options at end of life, and many of us don't face them until we are feeble and sick and not entirely in a place to make those decisions. While cancer has specific decisions to be made, Dwyer discusses the choices we all make when faced with extended treatment of a terminal illness or allowing nature to take its course.
From diagnosis to hospice care, endgame and beyond, this author will be ultimately helpful to millions, who before this point have persevered and survived in silence.

Pride of America Cruise Review by Adella Bush: Pride of America - Hawaii

Pride of America - Hawaii
NCL Pride of America. Traveled in August 2005 with 10 family members. Since ours was one of the first cruises after newly being launched, we chalked our bad experiences up to that fact. Alas, I'm disheartened to read reviews that seem to show not much has changed for the better with this ship.
All of us found our cabins to be dirty much of the time. We also found dirty "stuff" from the prior occupants. No clean towels on regular basis. Extremely poor service in the main dining room, we were never able to book any of the specialty restaurants, (did not know that you should book as soon as possibly after boarding!).
Found the night entertainment in the main theater very hokey and amateurish. The ship had constant mechanical problems, 2 days of hot tubs that were NOT hot, and no hot water for showers. One morning; no coffee(!) available in dining areas due to electrical problems.
Shore excursions were okay, just pricey as with most cruise lines. More
Despite what others write, we found not much to do onboard. The cabins are the smallest I've seen on any ship (we've been on Princess, Royal Caribbean, and Carnival). Every place was over crowded and yes, smoke did drift out from the "smoke area" making that upper space uncomfortable for non smokers. Please visit Hawaii, but book land trips to several islands. We found this was such a waste of money.
Boarding and embarkation was one bright spot - fast & easy. Less

Tax is indeed a legal, not a moral obligation (letters, 22 June). Both as a HR director in a City financial institution and now as a retiree, I have long searched for the flaws in tax legislation to minimise my and my colleagues' tax obligations.
Then and now, I have employed accountants to assist me and I believe the civil servants who draft tax legislation are less competent in their work than the staff of the principal accountancy firms who regularly identify flaws for the benefit of Jimmy Carr, Take That! and many others.
The Government should outsource the drafting of the legislation to those accountancy firms, with the proviso that should anyone subsequently discover an avoidance loophole, their lucrative source of government income would be withdrawn immediately.
Alan Clark
Petersfield, Hampshire
Matthew Norman's (somewhat contorted) article (20 June) on Jimmy Carr's tax affairs is wrong to refer to Carr as a hypocrite. Ironically, his tax avoidance argues the opposite.
I saw Carr at Brixton Comedy Club some years ago. I thought he was dismal and reactionary and I haven't seen or heard anything since to cause me to revise that judgement.
Crass, right-wing comedy is everywhere, but whether or not comedy corresponds to the private convictions of the comedian is a red herring.
Those comedians who appear to draw on their own political views in their acts, such as Stewart Lee or your columnist Mark Steel, are surely a minority.
Stephen Wagg
The Laffer curve shows that as tax rates are raised above a certain level, the total tax take is reduced. Jimmy Carr has shown how this works in practice. When Carr decided he was paying too much tax, he didn't just take steps to reduce it to what he might have considered a reasonable level, he tried to get it as near zero as he could.
He and numerous other wealthy individuals in effect remove themselves completely from the tax system and no longer contribute to the public purse.
The political debate has been focused on whether the top rate should be 45 or 50 per cent. It might be easier to persuade the wealthy to pay their taxes if they were being asked to pay the same proportion as everyone else. Most of us don't know what it's like to hand over a million pounds to the tax man every year. The evidence suggests we would all try to reduce it if we could.

Cameron blames the jobless, not his own policies
Does David Cameron have any proof that the under-25s he is going to strip of housing benefits are "feckless" or from "feckless families"? Did he, a multi-millionaire, claim Disability Living Allowance for his son? Wouldn't that be feckless? Or what about when he "asked" the taxpayer to fund the utility bills for his family? Does that count? Or is it always those other people on benefits?
Mr Cameron says he is entering into a tough love programme for the under-25s to reward those who do the right thing: stay with their parents before getting married and having children. Thus, council houses will no longer go to the "feckless" because they will have no housing benefits, but to the righteous, married couples. Listening to Mr Cameron sometimes is like being trapped in the moralistic 1950s.
What proof does Mr Cameron have that all 350,000 under-25s claiming housing benefit are parents? What proof does he have that those who do have children live in council houses, especially when there is a severe social housing/affordable housing crisis? How will freeing private rented accommodation assist engaged couples?
What about the youngsters whose parents have thrown them out, those in care who are forced to leave at 16; those who have been abused or those who lose their jobs and are forced to claim housing benefit because they can no longer afford private rent? What about those in low-paid work, but who claim housing benefit? Are they also to be made homeless? Does Mr Cameron think anything through?
Just like Thatcher, Cameron puts the blame for unemployment on the jobless rather than his own policies. The difference this time is that Mr Cameron uses 21st-century self-help-speak to justify his actions. "It's a kindness, you know".
Julie Partridge
London SE15
If David Cameron is so set against a "something for nothing" culture, surely it follows that he is against inherited wealth. What did he have to do to be born into a family rich enough to enable him to enjoy the privileges he has been able to take advantage of all his life?

Bishops not paid to attend Lords
Your article (21 June) about the amounts claimed as reimbursement by bishops for their work in the House of Lords points to no wrongdoing but manages to be misleading.
Like other members, bishops are not "paid" to attend the House (as your headline suggests), but are reimbursed for the cost of travel, overnight accommodation and subsistence in connection with their parliamentary duties. Some bishops attend more frequently than others because they serve on committees or hold policy portfolios that require their regular and frequent presence.
Most bishops do not live in London, or within easily commute. Unlike members in both Houses, bishops do not maintain or rent second houses at taxpayers' expense in order to attend parliament. Their primary residence is provided by the Church of England as the working base for the bishop and his staff and no taxpayers' money is involved in their upkeep.
Statistics show that, collectively, the bishops claim far less on average than peers and, as your report concedes, often claim back lower than the amounts allowable under the rules agreed by Parliament.
By all means let us also have a debate about the place of bishops in a reformed House. I would welcome that because we have much that is positive to say about what the Lords Spiritual bring to the life and work of our parliament.
But that debate needs to be about our constitutional arrangements and the place of faith in public life, not one that starts on the basis that you should throw enough mud in the hope that some of it might stick.

Pesticide and bee losses
The NFU works on the basis of risk and evidence rather than assumption. For this reason, we remain unsupportive of any knee-jerk proposals for a precautionary ban on the use of neonicotinoids such as the move taken by the French Ministry of Agriculture ("Pesticide that kills bees 'must be banned'", 7 June).
A report by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has identified gaps in knowledge and made recommendations to improve the risk assessment. It does not in any way provide support for precautionary bans on the use of certain pesticides.
The EFSA does not provide any more evidence of links between bee losses and pesticides; the reasons behind bee population declines remain complex and the causes are still not fully understood. Leading scientists and experts across the world agree that the losses are most likely caused by a combination of factors, among them pests and diseases, particularly the parasitic mite, varroa.
The product, Cruiser OSR, is part of an industry-wide good stewardship campaign which covers handling of the product and disposal of the seed to reduce any potential issues with dusts, a possible concern to bee health.

Two alternatives to Heathrow
Squeezing more aircraft into a huge airport which is already operating at 99 per cent of capacity is just about as nonsensical as building another airport in the Thames estuary (report, 23 June). There are two existing, international-size runways within easy access.
First, RAF Lyneham, recently closed, is a one-hour drive from Heathrow, one mile from a railway line which goes to Paddington and within a mile and a half of the M5. The approach path and climb-out are over rural areas, not city.
Then there is Bristol Filton, one of the largest runways in Europe, an hour and a half drive from London. There is a major railway line which passes within 200m of the runway and which also goes to, guess where, Paddington.
The airfield is adjacent to the M4/M5 interchange. The climb-out is over the sea. There is urban development on the approach but that would not be as terrible as the plight presently suffered by Londoners.
Let's hope that the Government does not repeat their error in digging up another of the longest runways in Europe which was even closer to London: Greenham Common.

Unearned privileges
Most discussion of selection in education seems to be an attempt to cope with the fundamental unfairness of life. In fact, being among the brighter portion of the population is a lucky biological accident, as much an unearned privilege as having wealthy parents who can send you to Eton. You could even argue that the unfairness of private education is a perfectly legitimate piece of social engineering. The most important part of selection goes on in the womb. All we're arguing about is the least painful, least socially divisive moment when the less fortunate have to bite the bullet.

No quarter
When Mr Halfpenny wrote to say that the abolition of the shilling made learning 12 times tables irrelevant (letter, 16 June), the subtext was surely that, until then, primary pupils should have been learning their tables up to 24. I am just pleased that there was no Mr Farthing involved in setting the primary school maths curriculum when I was a kid.

Not Edifying
Ralph Miliband was Belgium-born from Jewish-Polish parents. In 1940, he fled to England to escape Nazi persecution and become a leading Marxist thinker and academic. Now his son, Ed, leader of the Labour Party, is apparently attacking immigrants and pandering to racists. Shameful.

Bang to rights
NatWest bank customers are apparently going to be even more upset. The bank, on its website, has misused the word "impact", thinking it can replace the word "affect". This means only that these people have been forcefully driven together. I hope NatWest staff are more competent at IT problem-solving than they are at English.

Keeping score
Very interesting article about the England football manager (23 June). What immediately caught my eye was his date of birth. I too was born in 1947, so we are the same age, give or take a couple of months. Later in the article, his age is quoted as 67. Strange that; I'm only 64.

The Cult of Zemlja is looking for members to combat the evil deviants of Azeroth. We are an evil roleplay guild based inside Westfall.
[ Infomation ] : The Cult of Zemlja is a bizarre group that believes Azeroth is a god, and that soil is the foundation of all life. We call our god, "Zemlja," which is the Serbian sound for earth. Followers of Zemlja believe humanity, and all other life, had crawled out of soil in the beginning of life. The cultists of Zemlja often associate themselves with the Burning Legion, and that is because we believe the solid god had brought the Burning Legion into existence to cleanse the world of deviants. The Geodomin, and other cultists, will be hosting rituals that involve people being sacrificed to the earth. The majority of these rituals would represent beliefs of the cult. The Cult of Zemlja believes that all life that had came from soil must return to it. We strongly oppose the undead because of this belief. The Geodomin promises a life of bliss in the afterlife to his followers. The people that do not follow the cult's beliefs are called, "Deviants."
[Restrictions]: You cannot be anyone of these classes:
[Death Knight]
[Goal]: The Cult of Zemlja only wants to annihilate everyone on Azeroth.
[Contact]: If you'd like to join our guild: contact me, and I will send an invitation. If I am not online, send a letter to Rilgan. (We often communicate with mailboxes anyways).
Here is an advertisement:
You're walking in the Cathedral District, when suddenly, a bird lands onto your shoulder, "Hey! you should join <The Cult of Zemlja>; It'll be a blast!" says the bird. You realize the bird is right, and you leave civilization to worship dirt. <The Cult of Zemlja> (RP guild)

We will host a ritual soon. This ritual will include Duncan as our victim.
Bump! for the solid god!
We also offer a variety of uniforms. These uniforms are the most fabulous outfits in the Eastern Kingdoms!
I'd like to see better uniforms. What guild has better uniforms than The Cult of Zemlja?
P.S. Cultists should not wear uniforms in outside Westfall or ritual grounds. The only cultists that can wear uniforms in Stormwind City are specans. If there is an event outside Westfall, you can wear your uniform to the event. In the name of the solid god, I command you to wear your uniforms and blissfully worship in them!

( What is your favorite color? )
Bump! for the color yellow!
My FABULOUS references are wasted on you people.
Does Rilgan still have the Mark of the Coven on his wrist? Just out of curiosity!
Oh, also, does he consider himself to be on hostile ground with what's left of The Shadowguard?
Your role-play seems... interesting- to say the least.
Edited by Nòx on 4/23/2013 7:14 PM PDT
Yes, Rilgan still has the Mark of the Coven on his wrist. He doesn't like what remains of The Shadowguard. If Rilgan had a chance, he would likely try to kill the Darkmother. The Darkmother is believed to be a deviant in the Cult of Zemlja, and she is on bad terms with Rilgan. I'd say that Rilgan is mentally scarred from his experience in, "The Vault." The Cult of Zemlja is an aggressive group that doesn't like anyone except for those that associate themselves with the Burning Legion. We are hostile and crazy cultists in Westfall that want to kill everyone who isn't following their belief. Cultists of Zemlja aren't crazy enough to randomly attack a deviant in public, but they are likely to try something at sometime. Rilgan placed the Darkmother on a list to be killed. BUMP!

Zafèn and Kiva Join Forces to Increase Loans to Haitian Entrepreneurs
Port-au-Prince, Haiti, June 19, 2014: Zafèn is pleased to announce a partnership with Kiva.org, the world's largest crowd-funding platform connecting people through lending to alleviate poverty. Zafèn has become Kiva's first Haiti-based field partner supporting the Small Growing Business (SGBs) Sector. The move allows Kiva's growing global community of 1 million lenders to support Haitian entrepreneurs, including many woman-owned businesses, as they grow and create jobs.
Zafèn, which has raised nearly $2 million since it was founded in 2010, is a crowd-funded loan source for Haitian SGBs that do not qualify for traditional bank loans or microfinance and otherwise would not have access to capital. Zafèn also raises donations for social projects in Haiti with community benefit, including clean water, education and the environment.
"We've long admired Fonkoze as an industry leader in socially-oriented microfinance and wraparound services and as an organization that shares Kiva's focus on using innovative channels to alleviate poverty and create jobs," says Cynthia McMurry, Kiva's regional director, Latin America and Caribbean.
"Zafèn is a truly innovative program serving an underserved and challenging market niche," McMurry adds. "We believe that through Kiva's ability to crowdfund affordable loans and the Zafèn team's expertise in serving the needs of SGBs, we will be able to impact the SGB sector in Haiti in a meaningful way by helping these businesses grow, create jobs and develop their communities."
Zafèn provides SGBs with a range of quality financial services, training and business development programs designed to move them toward financial inclusion, increased employment opportunities and improved family economic security. Over the past four years, Zafèn lenders have funded nearly 500 business loans and donation projects. This has created more than 800 new jobs. Furthermore, Zafèn has trained hundreds of Haitian SGBs in financial best practices.
Montreal-based Katleen Felix, president of the Haitian Hometown Associations Resource Group, says the Haitian Diaspora has been operating like small-scale social impact investors in their hometowns for decades. "Zafèn was designed with advice from the Diaspora to facilitate choosing viable businesses and providing much needed follow up in the field," she notes. "This partnership with Kiva is an important milestone that will increase our base of users around the world who are ready to collaborate with the Haitian Diaspora and their hometown associations."
The Migration Policy Institute reports that in 2012, 606,000 Haitian immigrants lived in the United States, 77,000 in France, 74,000 in Canada and 40,000 in the Bahamas. Three-quarters of Haitians in the United States live in the greater Miami, New York, Boston, Orlando and Atlanta areas.
Carine Roenen, Director at Fonkoze—Zafèn's parent organization—explains that the partnership with Kiva enables Haiti lenders to continue to visit zafen.org to view potential business loans. "Now these loan opportunities also reside on kiva.org and are booked by Kiva when the user checks out," she says.
This collaboration reduces Zafèn's administrative costs and allows Zafèn to devote additional resources to Haitian business owners and to present more loans from Haiti. Donation projects will remain under Zafèn's administration and only appear on the Zafèn website.
"Zafèn is a great example of the International Vincentian Family's support of systemic change initiatives that build the capacity of the Haitian people to meet their needs and claim their human rights," says Rev. Joseph Agostino, C.M., coordinator of the Vincentian Family Haiti Initiative. "The partnership with Kiva allows a much larger segment of socially conscious lenders to support Haitians as they build their country's economy."
About Zafèn
Zafèn, which means "It's our business" in Haitian Creole, uses crowdfunding to stimulate collaboration between Haiti-based business owners, the Haitian Diaspora and others interested in supporting the Haitian economy. To qualify for a loan or donation, businesses must demonstrate an anticipated impact on the broader community by hiring more employees, operating more efficiently, becoming more environmentally friendly or other measures. Zafèn was founded by four organizations: Fonkoze, Haiti's alternative bank for the organized poor serving more than 200,000 clients; the Haitian Hometown Associations Resource Group (HHTARG), which enables the Haitian Diaspora to foster economic and social growth to alleviate poverty in their native communities; the International Vincentian Family, an assembly of people worldwide affiliated with organizations who find inspiration in the legacies of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac; and DePaul University in Chicago, the largest Catholic university in America. For more information, please visit: www.zafen.orgAbout Kiva
Kiva is a non-profit organization working to alleviate poverty by connecting people around the world through microlending. With as little as a $25 loan, anyone can help a borrower create new opportunities for themselves and their family. Together with more than 780,000 Kiva lenders and a worldwide network of 142 microfinance institutions, Kiva has created economic opportunity for more than 815,000 borrowers. Since its inception in 2005, Kiva lenders have funded more than $320 million in loans with a 98.9% repayment rate. Kiva is headquartered in San Francisco, CA.
