Editor's Note: This tribute was written by George Fischer, Sam Woodruff's partner for many years. George sent us the photo of him and Sam. The other photos here were taken from Sam's Facebook page, including the banner above, a photo that Sam commented on by saying, "This is a picture of a happy man!!!" (April 18 at 8:03pm). The photo with the children below is Sam with his grandchildren, Jack and Anna Wallace, who he loved dearly. The photo to the left is a photo of a display of Sam's art. If you would like to add anything here, we welcome your comments and condolences on this page. Sam will be missed by the Merida community.
Sam Warren Woodruff was murdered early Monday morning on the 12th of November. He died a violent death that should never be the fate of anyone let alone a gentle and trusting soul like him.
Sam was one of those rare individuals who never said anything bad about anyone, never lifted a finger to hurt anyone and always thought the best of everyone. I have gathered my thoughts about this man and I am honored to be able to share them with you.
To my good friend Sam:
I thought of you today when the sun came up. Actually, I have thought of you ever day for nearly 20 years. We have lived and loved together as brothers and shared so many good things in life. You enriched my life and of my mother, Maria Luisa also. You cared for her as a son and made a great difference in her life as you did in mine.
You and I, we were so different in so many ways Sam. We had difficult times, but, our friendship survived. You pushing me to open up, to relax, to take in all the wonderful fun things in life. To run and scream and shout with abandon. And me, trying to rein you in a bit, coming behind you to collect some of the things you scattered in the wind. Always, looking ahead to see if there was something in the road that would hurt you. You up front, smiling and laughing, and urging me on to run.
You are gone now. Some nameless and shameless person took away your life, your future and our joy. Well, nothing can hurt you again Sam and my job looking after you is almost done.
You leave behind a host of friends who love and care for you… your legacy is your smile, your gentleness and your complete honesty with those in your life. A friend once asked you how you would like to be remembered, you said, "I want to be remembered as an eccentric old artist."
That you were, my dear Sam. You lived life to it's fullest and enriched the many lives you touched during your 63 year journey.
Goodbye, my dear friend, Sam the man.

Lauren Conrad Dishes on Date Nights with Boyfriend William Tell — And Says, "I Want Kids!"
Lauren Conrad sounds like she's never been happier!
The former star of The Hills is dating former Something Corporate rocker William Tell, and she tells Lucky magazine that children are in the cards for her.
"I want kids, but not in the immediate future," she says. "All of my friends in their early 30s who just started having kids say, 'Give it a few years.'"
Lauren certainly knows a thing or two about clothes, as she is a fashion designer, so she was asked if she gives William fashion tips.
"He's just a jeans and T-shirt guy, which I like," the 26-year-old LC says of her 32-year-old boyfriend. "[But] sometimes I'll buy him clothes and sneak them into his drawer!" We wish Lauren would sneak clothes into our drawers.
And what does the couple do on weekends? "Honestly, he studies all weekend, and I've been working," Lauren reveals about her law-student boyfriend. But when they do go out, she enjoys "going to a quiet restaurant and having a nice long dinner."
So LC has become a bit of a homebody? Who would have predicted it!

Full detailed profile on Evangeline Williamson Played by Renee Goldsberry on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
Renee Goldsberry
Birthday: 1971-01-02
After seeing Starr's reaction, Evangeline tells Todd that they can't do 'this.' However, he reminds her of the relaxing time she had with him and says, "I feel so good when I'm with you. I want to be with you more." Not wanting to regret a minute of their day together, Evangeline decides to leave. However, before going, she says, "That kiss in the elevator, it was� Never mind�"
Reluctantly, Evangeline goes back to Todd's penthouse where Todd promises to take her mind off Cris. Todd surprises her with a sit-down fancy lunch - waiter and all. Just as Evangeline starts to relax, she almost breaks down and suggests leaving. However, Todd says, "I have one more surprise� I want you to take your clothes off, all of them." Todd's arranged for Evangeline to have a massage and heads upstairs, leaving her with the masseuse. After the massage, Evangeline thanks Todd for cheering her up.
When Evangeline goes to see Cris, he says, "It's over between us." Despite her protests, even though Cris loves Evangeline, he says, "Sometimes love isn't enough. We're over." Cris's phone rings and gets a call from Carlotta about Antonio. Cris and Evangeline head to the hospital.
As Jessica's making up an excuse as to why she and Nash were in the storage room, Cris comes in and hears that Antonio saved Nash and Jessica. Cris glares at Jessica, then says, "You almost got my brother killed!" Suddenly, Todd and Nash come in the room and stir things up.
At Evangeline's, over a struggle with the remote, she and Todd fall on the couch together! Evangeline jumps up and tells Todd to leave. "I need to make Cris understand what happened between you and I didn't mean anything." However, Todd refuses to apologize for their kiss. When Todd is ready to leave, Evangeline notices he doesn't have a coat and goes to get one of Cris's. While she's in the other room, Cris calls her cell, but Todd just pushes her phone aside. After she comes back, she tells Todd that she couldn't find a coat for him to wear.
With flowers in hand, Cris uses his key and opens Evangeline's door, catching Evangeline helping Todd button up his shirt to stay warm on the way home. "What's going on?" Cris asks. Cris goes on to say that he wanted to apologize, but after walking in on 'this,' "We're done!" Cris throws the flowers across the room and leaves with a slam of the door!
Awakened by a knock on her door, Evangeline answers it and sees Todd. She shuts the door on him and says she doesn't want to talk about what happened. However, Todd says if they don't talk about it, they'll lose 'each other.' Through the door, Todd says he can't lose the best friend he ever had. "Let me be your friend," Todd says and Evangeline opens the door. "I told Cris that we kissed, then he broke my heart." Todd degrades Cris for his reaction when Evangeline was just trying to be honest with him. "He's treating you like dirt." However, she blames herself and accuses Todd of always egging Cris on. In an attempt to make her smile, Todd turns on his comical charm. When Evangeline puts in a romantic old movie, Todd tries to take the remote away from her and the two land on the floor: Evangeline on top of Todd!
At Evangeline's, when Jessica calls Cris and begs him not to tell Antonio, Evangeline overhears how angry Cris is and thinks back on the kiss with Todd. After Jessica hangs up, Cris tells Evangeline about Jessica and Nash's deception. Just then, Evangeline says, "There's something I have to tell you. Todd and I kissed yesterday." When Evangeline's cell rings, Cris picks it up and says, "It's for you." He shows Evangeline that Todd is calling! Although Evangeline tries to explain that the kiss wasn't romantic, Cris flips out and says, "We are a lie! And I don't want any part of it! You wouldn't have let him kiss you if you didn't want him!" Cris storms out�
Crying in her bed, Evangeline's cell rings again. It's Todd - leaving voicemail number fourteen.

Follow these steps. Complete the readmission application and mail it to the Admissions Office. >>READMISSION APPLICATION. Deadlines for Readmission Applications 1. For Fall semester ..... August 1st 2. For Spring semester ... January 1st 3. Students seeking readmission to Winter (J-Term) or Summer session must apply by two weeks prior to the start of the session. Have official transcripts of any courses taken since your enrollment at SNC sent to the Admissions Office. If you are currently enrolled in courses at another institution, your application may be held for review until a final transcript is received. You must fulfill any outstanding financial obligations to the College before your application can be approved. Students who left St. Norbert College in good academic standing for reasons other than medical (physical or emotional) or disciplinary action generally are readmitted. However, there are specific requirements to follow if you originally withdrew for any of these reasons: Guidelines for Readmission After Medical/Mental Health Withdrawal As an integral component of the re-application process at St. Norbert College, students that withdrew for medical reasons must obtain a recommendation from SNC Health Services to be re-admitted. This process includes the following: 1. Complete and submit the Readmission Application and indicate a medical issue as your reason for withdrawal. 2. Provide medical documentation from a licensed health care provider to the Director of Health Services (or Counseling Services) indicating the condition that lead to the withdrawal has been addressed and successful completion of future coursework is anticipated 3. Contact and arrange a meeting with the Director of Health Services (or Counseling Center) to review your medical records and determine your eligibility for re-admission 4. Sign an appropriate release form to facilitate communication with the Readmission Committee regarding your eligibility to return (no confidential medical information will be disclosed). Guidelines for Readmission After Poor Academic Performance (Withdrawal with GPA below 2.00 or Academically Dismissed) Students who left because of poor academic performance will be evaluated on their demonstrated readiness to return to St. Norbert College's academic environment and the likelihood of their eventual successful completion of a degree in a timely manner. Students can apply for readmission after being away one full semester. This process includes the following: 1. Complete and submit the Readmission Application and indicate whether you left on probation or after an academic dismissal as your reason for withdrawal. 2. Provide a written statement regarding your ability to perform well academically. You may choose to complete and submit an Academic Appeal Form instead of a personal statement. Readmission decisions will be based on the following criteria: A. The student's insight into what caused the original academic difficulty. B. Evidence that the things that prevented successful academic performance previously have changed positively. C. The amount of time spent away from St. Norbert College and how that time has been used productively (statements from employers or others may be requested). D. Academic achievement, if undertaken, has improved substantially. After the Readmission Committee reviews your complete application, you will be contacted by the Admissions Office. After receipt of your admissions deposit for approved applications, you will be contacted to apply for financial aid, housing, and registering for classes. If you have any other questions, please direct all concerns to the Office of the Registrar.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Roger Vandenbrink on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
From an Old French personal name, Rog(i)er, of Germanic (Frankish) origin, from hrōd 'fame' + gār, gēr 'spear'. This was adopted by the Normans and introduced by them to Britain, replacing the native Old English form Hrōðgār. Roger was one of the most popular boys' names throughout the medieval period, but less so after the Reformation, though it has continued in regular use to the present day. Roger, Count of Sicily (c.1031–1101), son of Tancred, recovered Sicily from the Arabs. His son, also called Roger, ruled Sicily as king, presiding over a court noted for its splendour and patronage of the arts.
|125th in the U.S.
Dutch (Van den Brink): topographic name for someone who lived by a raised pasture in low-lying marshland, from Middle Dutch brinc 'edge', 'slope', 'raised grazing land' (see Brink), or habitational name from a place called den Brink, named with this word, in particular Brink in the Veluwe region of Gelderland.

- St. Martha: Patron of Dieticians
Austria Welcomes the McRibster
McDonald's Austria
McDonald's Austria
Today on The Daily Meal
Recipe of the day
Most popular Stories
The cult-worthy fanatics of the McDonald's McRib sandwich, whether purists or thrill-seekers, will most likely feel pretty strongly about the news coming out of Austria this week. McDonald's unveiled their newest limited-edition menu item yesterday, a deep-fried version of the McRib called the McRibster — and it's only available in Austria.
The sandwich includes a deep-fried boneless pork patty topped with pepper jack cheese, bacon, iceberg lettuce, red onion, honey mustard, and sweet chile sauce. The McRibster seems closer to schnitzel, a classic Austrian dish consisting of fried pork cutlets, than the typical McRib that's occasionally available in the U.S.
The same "cut of pork" (whatever that may be) appears to be used to make the rib patties on both sandwiches. Other than that, it stands to reason that the only similarities are in the sauces — perhaps when the McRibster's honey mustard and sweet chile sauces are enjoyed together the taste is reminiscent of the ultra-sweet and gooey glaze that covers the McRib?
This variation on a classic is not the only one if it's kind to make waves in the fast-food world this month; check out a sneak peek of Taco Bell's new Doritos Locos Tacos here.

Sen. Bill Doyle, who has served in the Legislature since 1969, has for decades done a Town Meeting Day survey to gauge Vermonters' opinions on the issues of the day.
This year a freshman lawmaker has started a survey of his own.
Rep. Sam Young, a Democrat from Albany, is starting on online survey that he says will build on the tradition created by Doyle but cater to younger residents.
"With questions that tend to focus on technology, energy and other issues important to a younger demographic, Rep. Young invites you to participate in his town meeting day survey and to voice your concerns on the many challenging issues facing Vermonters," a news release announcing the survey said.
The survey can be done at www.repsamyoung.com.

Oracle must pay Google $1M to cover costs in failed patent case
When Oracle sued Google in August 2010 alleging widespread infringement of Java-related copyrights and patents in Android, the company was looking for a $6 billion payout. But Oracle got nothing when a court ruled in Google's favor in May of this year, and is now being ordered to pay $1.13 million worth of Google's court costs.
Each side likely poured millions or even tens of millions into the patent and copyright trial. Winning reimbursement for legal costs isn't easy, but Google has managed to pull it off, at least partially. Yesterday, Judge William Alsup of US District Court in Northern California ruled on Google's request for $4.03 million, denying $2.9 million worth of requested reimbursements but granting the rest of it.
"Oracle initially sought six billion dollars in damages and injunctive relief but recovered nothing after nearly two years of litigation and six weeks of trial," Alsup wrote in the order. "Oracle initially alleged infringement of seven patents and 132 claims but each claim ultimately was either dismissed with prejudice or found to be non-infringed by the jury. Oracle also lost on its primary copyright claim for Java APIs." As Oracle's patent allegations disintegrated, Oracle fell back on an "overreaching" and "somewhat novel" theory of copyright infringement to bolster its case, Alsup noted.

The TV series was an unmitigated flop - except with the TV-watching public, who eagerly watched the series in syndication. Seven extremely diverse people wash up on a desert island and have the expected personality clashes and pratfalls. Russell Johnson, who played the voice of reason as the Professor on "Gilligan's Island" has died at the age of 89 from liver failure.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Besides inept first mate Gilligan (Bob Denver) and the Skipper (Alan Hale Jr.), the others included movie star Ginger (Tina Louise), wealthy couple Thurston Howell III (Jim Backus) and his wife, "Lovey" (Natalie Schafer) and Mary Ann, a girl-next-door type played by Dawn Wells.
Russell played the taciturn and serious Professor, who was able to fashion almost everything out of coconuts and bamboo shoots - save for a ship to leave the island. As Johnson would say frequently in later interviews, although the Professor could build a shortwave radio out of a coconut shell, he couldn't figure out how to patch a hole in a boat hull.
Show the world where you stand --
Running from CBS from 1964 to 1967, "Gilligan's Island" had a long life in syndication. The show was not a critical success and was frequently cited as symbolic of the "vast wasteland" that was television. A closely guarded bit of TV trivia was that the professor's real name was Dr. Roy Hinkley.
Johnson was born in 1924, near Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, the oldest of six children. He served in the Army Air Forces during World War II, winning a Purple Heart. After his discharge from the armed services, he studied on the G.I. Bill at the Actors' Laboratory in Hollywood.
Russell became a fixture in westerns, such as "Law and Order," in which he played Ronald Reagan's no-good brother and science fiction films, including "It Came from Outer Space."
His connection to science-fiction was also linked to his two appearances in "The Twilight Zone" involving time travel. In one, he tries to prevent the assassination of Abraham Lincoln; in the other, about a time machine that accidentally rescues a 19th-century murderer from a hanging, he plays the inventor, a professor.
It's believed that director Jack Arnold, who directed Russell in "It came from Outer Space," recommended him for the role of the professor in "Gilligan's Island."
Johnson died in his sleep at his Washington home. He is survived by a wife and his daughter.

Of course there is some crossover, but it has it's own distinct thing. There are a lot of world class players in London, they just don't get the same hype as American guys. A few British guys have been able to make the move across the pond partially or totally, but for many there is no pressure to because they've got plenty of work here. There are a whole lot of pop bands and acts that do very well in the UK who people in NA have never heard of, or only get limited exposure there. There's also studio work for British film and television which is unique from the U.S.. Add in the fact that the West End has dozens and dozens of theatres with musicals playing and that the size of the country allows for touring musicals to be profitable, and there really is a self-contained thing here.
And Matt, I know we've had our differences, but I was really happy to see you take the risk you took and get yourself playing. It took some guts and aplomb and it sounds like you've been working hard, and I applaud you for that. Well done. Best of luck.

Q's about iMac

Mac Specs: iMac 27" 3.4 GHz, 256 GB SSD, 2 TB HDD, 8 GB RAM
There are lots of PS/2 to USB adapters out there, so don't worry about that. You can use a Microsoft or Windows keyboard with most Macs, but you miss one or two really important keys, like the media eject key. On an iMac this may not be that critical, since you can always eject the media from the desktop anyway.
Apple's basic keyboard is reasonable - not great, but reasonable. Apple's basic mouse, the so called Mighty Mouse is - in my opinion - pretty bad. I replaced it right away when I got a Mac. Went for a nice wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse combo. The Mighty Mouse seems to engender either love or hate. There are lots of folks on both sides.
It sounds like you want a new iMac and Apple's new Apple TV, not a mini. The Apple TV (see their web page for details) looks like a slimmed down mini. It receives streamed media from your iMac and plays it out onto your TV. Get an iMac, the new Airport Extreme (802.11 draft n) and an Apple TV box and you will be set!
My Macs: iMac 27" 3.4 GHz, Mac Pro 3.2 GHz, PowerMac G5 Quad 2.5 GHz, G4 Cube with 1.2 GHz Upgrade

SW side man faces charges after shooting his dog
Robert Smotherman, 39, said the pet had become 'vicious'
SAN ANTONIO - A Southwest side man who said he was only trying to protect his family is facing criminal charges for shooting his dog.
Bexar County sheriff's deputies responded to the neighborhood near Loop 1604 and Marbach Rd. around 5 p.m. Wednesday for a call about shots fired.
They said they found out that Robert Smotherman, 39, had shot his dog outside his home.
The animal did not die right away, but had to be euthanized by Animal Care Services, according to a spokeswoman for the agency.
Smotherman was arrested on charges of animal cruelty and deadly conduct for firing his gun. He was released from jail after posting a bonds totaling $25,000.
At his home Thursday morning, Smotherman admitted to shooting his family pet, but he said it was out of necessity to protect his family.
"The animal was vicious," he said. "I have young children in my home. I have a new baby on the way."
Smotherman said he fired the shots at "Whiskey" after the 7-month-old Mastiff-Boxer mix bit him twice on the hand and arm. He said he feared for his family's safety.
"When that dog became aggressive towards me, I can't believe he's not going to be aggressive towards them at some point," he said. "My family is more important than a dog. I'm sorry."
Smotherman said he recently spent more than $200 on a large backyard pen to keep the dog away from his kids. He said the animal had become aggressive in the past, and his plan was to train it to be more docile.
He said he regrets what happened, but did what he is trained to do. Smotherman said he's a veteran of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a former police officer.

I transferred to Marshall in the fall of 2011 after receiving a double-associates degree at ACTC in Ashland, KY. I was introduced to Dr. Bailey nearly by mistake one afternoon and he invited me to join the WMUL staff. I took him up on the offer and the opportunities that I've experienced over the last few months could last a lifetime. My first job with WMUL was as an engineer for a football game. Since that game I have worked on the broadcast team as color analyst and play-by-play broadcaster for volleyball, men's and women's basketball. Looking back at all of the experiences last semester is mind boggling when I think about everything I have done.
I host a sports-talk radio show on Monday and Thursday discussing national, regional and local sports topics. Talking sports is a hobby of mine for many years and talking is that comes natural.
When I'm away from school and not working with WMUL, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two boys. With both of my boys playing sports, we live on fields and in gymnasiums. We enjoy camping and fishing when we just want to get away and relax.
Although I'm not a broadcast or journalism major, I have been welcomed to WMUL by the staff members and enjoy every chance I have to work with them. Sports are a passion of mine and I'm fortunate to be a part of the WMUL staff.

Beal, Wall help Wizards beat Wolves 104-100the associated press | November 20,2013WASHINGTON Bradley Beal scored 25 points, John Wall added 14 points and tied his career high with 16 assists, and the Washington Wizards beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 104-100 on Tuesday night to snap a four-game losing streak.
Martel Websters 3-pointer with 42 seconds to play gave the Wizards a 100-98 lead. Beal added two free throws with 12.9 seconds left to make it 102-98.
Webster had 17 points, including five 3-pointers.
Kevin Love led the Timberwolves with 25 points and 11 rebounds, and Kevin Martin, who was averaging 24.4 points, was held to 11.
The Wizards took an 86-85 lead on Beals layup with 10:24 to play and held it until Martins two free throws tied it at 95 with 2:23 to play.
Wall hit a jumper with 1:26 to play to give Washington a 97-95 lead, but Martin, who had missed 12 of his first 15 field goals, made a 3-pointer and Minnesota pulled ahead 98-97 with 1:11 remaining.
Washington, which had lost seven of its first nine this season, tried the players-only meeting approach before Tuesday mornings shootaround.
When coach Randy Wittman was asked about it before the game, he shrugged his shoulders and feigned ignorance.
His mind was on improving his teams defense.
Weve got to get back to being dirty, Wittman said.
The Timberwolves began a brutal stretch of five games in seven days, their second of the season.
Coach Rick Adelman said that he knew he had to play more than the eight men hes been regularly using in the stretch.
Minnesota had won seven of its first 11. Adelman, a veteran of 23 seasons as an NBA coach, cautioned his team.
I keep telling them they havent done anything yet, he said before the game.
Adelmans team started furiously. A 13-2 first-quarter run put them up by 10, and Love had 16 points by the end of the quarter with the Timberwolves ahead 34-27.
Love played half the second quarter, missed his only shot, and had just one point, but Minnesota led 63-51 in the half.
Wall had seven assists in the third as the Wizards outscored the Timberwolves 30-18 to even the game at 81.
NOTES: Washington F Al Harrington missed his third straight game with a right knee injury. . Wizards F Trevor Ariza missed his second game with a strained right hamstring. . Flip Saunders, who was fired as Washingtons coach, returned to the arena in his new role as Minnesotas president of basketball operations.MORE IN Wire SportsFLORHAM PARK, N.J.

The $250,000 Sikorsky Prize Has Been Claimed As Canadian Duo Creates Human-Powered Helicopter
What was once thought to be an impossible prize to win has now been claimed some 33 years later, as a Kickstarter-funded project has successfully created a human-powered helicopter.
The Igor I. Sikorsky Human Powered Helicopter Competition was introduced in 1980 by the American Helicopter Society (AHS) International, and challenged engineers to come up with a design and actually to create an entirely human-powered helicopter.
Aerovelo, the Canadian team of Todd Reichart and Cameron Robertson, was able to create the helicopter and had it fly for over a minute.
The Sikorsky Prize has been seemingly unattainable for over 30 years, with many thinking it would never be won, and that its $250,000 prize would remain unclaimed.
The duo of Reichart and Robertson managed to have the flight that Reichart piloted certified on June 13.
The aircraft utilized elements of a bicycle to propel it in the air.
The requirements for winning the Sikorsky Prize specify that the aircraft must remain in the air for 60 seconds, must rise to an altitude of three meters (approximately ten feet) and must remain hover in a horizontal area no bigger than ten meters by ten meters (33 feet by 33 feet).
The flight of Aerovelo's aircraft lasted 64 seconds and reached an altitude of 3.3 meters.
The flight was completed at an indoor soccer field in Toronto.
Check out the video of the unprecedented flight below!

The full 30-minute attack ad called "When Mitt Romney Came to Town" is out, and it is really hardcore. Dolloped with a hint of xenophobia (Romney speaks French in the film twice), the film features the roadkill from the freight train of vulture capitalism, the workers who had the misfortune of getting caught up in a Bain Capital leveraged buyout. Romney is portrayed as such an unyielding greedhead that Gordon Gekko would blanch. This was created – in part by a former Romney advisor – independent of any Newt Gingrich campaign, and his SuperPAC just purchased it about a week or so ago. But you'd think the media arm of the Occupy movement was responsible.
Apparently the full ad will hit the airwaves today, and there are sure to be 30- and 60-second versions. But it's already done its damage. Romney is losing his advantage in South Carolina to Gingrich, with a virtual dead heat now picked up by one poll. In trying to explain away the ad, Romney accused those who harp on inequality as motivated primarily by envy (telling the 99% that they're just jealous isn't the best electoral strategy) and adding that we should only talk about inequality in "quiet rooms":
LAUER: Are there no fair questions about the distribution of wealth without it being seen as envy, though?
ROMNEY: I think it's fine to talk about those things in quiet rooms and discussions about tax policy and the like. But the president has made it part of his campaign rally.
Romney's apparently preparing a counter-attack. I hope he does better with it than he did with Matt Lauer.
To be clear, Romney has material to work with, especially with respect to his Republican rivals. Newt Gingrich, of course, worked for a storied private equity firm at one time. And the conservative movement is leaping to his aid, positing the Bain attacks as an attack on capitalism. But that's really the whole problem for Romney. His brand of vulture capitalism mirrors precisely the conservative worldview on "free markets." Those workers aren't entitled to a life of "luxury," luxury defined as the ability to get by on hard work. The economy has winners and losers, and those layoff victims just have to get better skills. The job creators will take care of them if they can just get their taxes low.
Newt Gingrich has really opened a Pandora's box here. Conservatives have been allowed to skate by with their Randian worship of Wall Street titans for a long time. Gingrich is appealing to a white working class voter that, in the South at least, votes Republican. And he's doing it with an economic populist message, at least as far as he has pointed his attack at Romney. All the polls show that the public has an intuitive revulsion to the style of capitalism that has been practiced in this country for the past thirty years. Gingrich, by using that intuition to attack Romney, is also putting his entire party's economic message on trial.

County hikes fees at waste disposal sites
Union County is proposing a new rate structure and method of payment at the county's six solid waste convenience sites that will require customers to pre-purchase specially marked bags for solid waste disposal at the convenience sites. Under the new rate structure, customer disposal rates will increase from 25 cents to $1 for 13 gallons bags and 75 cents to $2 for 30 gallon bags.
The county currently operates the six convenience sites on the pay-as-you-throw system. Citizens who dispose of garbage bags at the convenience sites are charged based on the number of bags they dispose of at a site. Recycling is collected free at the sites.
"With this current rate structure, the program continues to operate at a loss," said Union County Public Works Solid Waste Division Manager Bobby Banks. "To make this program self-sufficient, it will be necessary to increase the per-bag fee to $1 for 13 gallons bags and $2 for 30 gallon bags."
In order to implement the new rate structure and payment program, Union County will partner with Waste Zero, Inc. to implement and administer the production, distribution and sales of the garbage bags in Union County. Waste Zero is a leading provider of trash metering programs and will produce, distribute and manage inventory and logistics for an official county garbage bag program. Customized residential garbage bags will be distributed to retail outlets, such as grocery and convenience stores, throughout the county for customers to purchase. These garbage bags will be the only disposal bags accepted at the county's solid waste convenience sites. Accepting only official bags will eliminate cash payments at the convenience sites. The operational and disposal costs are incorporated into the purchase price of the bag.
The Union County Board of Commissioners is scheduled to vote on the proposed new rate structure and method of payment at their May 6 meeting.
The program is slated to begin on July 1, 2013; however, there will be a 3-month transition period when the convenience sites will continue to accept customers' own bags for the new proposed fees. Beginning Oct. 1, 2013, only the official county garbage bags will be accepted.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The world turned its back on the Jews of Europe during the Nazi Holocaust. Many of those who miraculously survived became a part of a reborn Jewish state. But the ghosts of their horrific past linger, and far too many are living out their last days in poverty and loneliness.
Israel Today is proud to be among those providing physical aid, as well as emotional and spiritual comfort, to Israel's Holocaust survivors.
But, we need your help!
How special it is to inform these precious souls that it is thanks to the kind donations of Christians that we are able to provide aid and comfort, when so many of them have been left scarred by their treatment at the hands of supposedly "Christian" nations.
We'll supply a Holocaust survivor with several gift coupons that can be cashed in a number of Israeli supermarkets.
Last week the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, approved an NIS 50 million increase in annual assistance (US$ 13.7 million) for Holocaust survivors living in Israel.
For the first time ever this week, the National Religious Broadcasters Network of America (NRB) in partnership with Christian Friends of Yad Vashem, will air "A Nation Remembers," a broadcast of Israel's official Holocaust Remembrance ceremony. Filmed on April 7, 2013 at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum and study center in Jerusalem, the well-attended open-air evening ceremony, with other ceremonies held at centers around the country, traditionally begins Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu recently committed to improving the welfare of Holocaust survivors living in Israel. This commitment has come about as a direct result of the efforts of Dora Roth, herself a Holocaust survivor, who made an impassioned speech in the Knesset during April, concerning the welfare of survivors.

Transformers recently took over the streets of Detroit to film a "massive chase scene". Read on:
The Transformers have taken over the streets of Detroit! According to a report in the Detroit Free Press, downtown Motown has been commandeered by filmmaker Michael Bay and co. for a shoot that will last through Wednesday evening.
Numerous thoroughfares will be closed to traffic as filming takes place on Fort Street between Washington and Griswold, and Shelby between Congress and Lafayette.
These are the same areas, including the old Michigan Central Depot, that Bay used for The Island.
If you're in the Motor City and you happen to capture any of the hot Transformers action on camera, hook it up!

ACORN, HuffPo Organizing Efforts to Infiltrate Tax Day Tea Parties
Acts of protest tend to be synonymous with the left and are usually considered unsurprising on the right. However, when conservatives demonstrate ŌĆō liberals take notice in a big way.
On Fox News ChannelŌĆÖs April 7 ŌĆ£Your World,ŌĆØ host Neil Cavuto reported that the Tax Day tea party protests on April 15 will be ŌĆ£infiltratedŌĆØ by their political opponents and led by left-wing activist organizations. He specifically named Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).
ŌĆ£Only eight days before a nationwide tea party, some over-caffeinated crashers aiming to lay waste to it,ŌĆØ Cavuto said. ŌĆ£Reports of very well-organized infiltrators trying to mix in and rain on this parade. Talk about taxing.ŌĆØ
One organizer, Mark Meckler of the Sacramento Tea Party, dismissed the counter efforts and said they were to be expected.
ŌĆ£We donŌĆÖt take them seriously at all, and IŌĆÖll tell you why,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs not that they donŌĆÖt exist ŌĆō we expect people to attempt to infiltrate,ŌĆØ Meckler said. ŌĆ£We expect people to attempt to disturb what we are doing, but the reality is that this is a very broad-based grassroots movement. There is no leader at the top. There is no individual event that they can disturb that would cause us a problem nationwide.ŌĆØ
Meckler explained that everyone was invited ŌĆō even if they come to promote a philosophy that runs counter to what the tea party movement is attempting to convey.
ŌĆ£So also, the people ŌĆō we trust the grassroots,ŌĆØ Meckler continued. ŌĆ£We know, the people are skeptical of anyone approaching at these events, and we believe that people are going to handle it well. And in fact, we invite everybody to come to our events. We donŌĆÖt care if they are from ACORN, The Huffington Post or the Daily Kos. We want them all there. WeŌĆÖre excited to have them attend.ŌĆØ
In fact, The Huffington Post has even set up a Web site for so-called citizen journalists to infiltrate the protests.
ŌĆ£The Huffington Post wants to have citizen journalists at as many of these events as possible,ŌĆØ Arthur Delaney wrote for The Huffington Post on April 7. ŌĆ£If you think you'd be interested in attending one of the Tea Parties and reporting back to us with dispatches, photos, or video, click here to sign up. We'll contact you shortly with further instructions.ŌĆØ
