Virginia Voters Explain Why They Soured on Cantor
GOOCHLAND COURTHOUSE, Va. – Lined with picturesque shops and businesses amidst rolling green farmland, this town of 860 people lies at the conservative heart of outgoing House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's rural congressional district. Conservative areas were a key part of Mr. Cantor's downfall in Tuesday's Republican primary.
The Wall Street Journal visited Goochland County on Wednesday to understand why voters had turned against their long-time congressman. Here's what some voters had to say:
"When you meet Eric, he's very personable, a very nice guy. But he went up there and wasn't paying attention to his constituents. Every time something came up, he just went with the flow. He didn't come back here and ask the people." – James McCready, who works at Brothers N Arms gun store in Goochland Courthouse.
"I don't think he was bad, but I think he was a little comfortable being a politician."
- Bill Upton, an architect who retired from state government.
"The Republicans have lost their sense of conservative values and Eric is at the top of the list."
- Wilma House, an antique store-owner in Goochland Courthouse and an active member of the local tea party chapter.
The Republican Party has gone too far to the right. I've been extremely frustrated with Mr. Cantor's ability to negotiate but we'll have even less negotiation now."
- Mary Beth Wood, owner of Wood's Sandy Hook store, which also functions a rural post office.

Managing Multiple Screens in JavaFX. (Part II)
By Angela Caicedo-Oracle on Feb 26, 2013
After finishing with my first application (previous blog), I moved to my second talk I was delivering at JavaOne 2012. Now I was looking to build another UI application, for a small screen and constrained devices. I was looking into having multiple screens, but with very few UI components; I just needed to collect data from the web and displayed it. Looking at my previous framework it wasn't a good fit for this new scenario, and of course there isn't a unique solution for all applications. This is what I was trying to achieve:
- Build an application for a city information app.
- An application where you can explore the city's places.
- Or you can check the map for places of interests.
- Check the weather
- Or even change the city
I wanted to build a more dynamic application, where screens just slide in and out... from top, bottom, right and left, like the red arrows implies. I decided to use a technique commonly used in game development, where there is a big background image, and we have a view port, like a small window, and it's by moving this window around that we get the illusion of screen changes. Notice that having a wide background picture create a great navigation effect!
Points to consider:
For this application I used NetBeans and JavaFX SceneBuilder, which are my favorite tools.
A very important consideration, from my point of view, is to have a good long background image. This will give you a nice navigation effect without any extra programming cost. It just looks good.
Only one big screen is designed in Scene Builder, one fxml file and one controller class. Very simple!
Think out of the box, your application doesn't always have to have conventional buttons, labels and other components. Navigation doesn't need to be in one direction!. If you design your UI interface correctly, the user will intuitively navigate through it without any problem! Nice looking and modern interfaces doesn't mean it will be difficult to use.
Customize your application using CSS. This application uses CSS heavily, giving a nice and unique touch.
An example of the semi-transparent gray Panel areas styling looks like this:
.my-gradientpane {
-fx-background-radius: 10;
radial-gradient(radius 100%,
radial-gradient(radius 100%,
-fx-background-insets: 0,1,2;
Or customizing your ChoiceBox could be something like this:
.choice-box {
radial-gradient(radius 100%,
radial-gradient(radius 100%,
-fx-background-insets: 0 0 -1 0, 0, 1, 2;
-fx-background-radius: 25, 25, 24;
-fx-padding: 0.0em 0.5em 0.0em 0.0em;
-fx-alignment: CENTER;
-fx-content-display: LEFT;
You can find more detailed information about CSS here.
The viewport in my application was simply a container; in this case a Panel. This panel was smaller than the image in the background, it was just the screen's size. The rest of the screens were just not visible.
Moving around screens is easy. All the screens have the same width and height, so only a simple TranslateTransition was required here. A sample of this:
private void showPlaces(MouseEvent event) {
moveScreen(0, -MyEmbeddedApp.DEVICE_HEIGHT);
private void showWeather(MouseEvent event) {
moveScreen(MyEmbeddedApp.DEVICE_WIDTH, 0);
private void moveScreen(int toX, int toY) {
TranslateTransition moveMe = TranslateTransitionBuilder.
The annotation @FXML in front of the showPlaces and showWeather methods is to be able to bind these methods to the UI components in your fxml code. More information about this can be found here.
This concludes this second part of how to manage applications with multiple screens using JavaFX. As you can see, there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, but it's definitely a lot of fun when you need to design your UI interfaces. Have fun, design, think out of the box, and make the life of the user a bit easier and more enjoyable.
You can also see a related video I've created on our YouTube Java Channel, so you can see these applications live.

About the Book
Still reeling from the death of her fiancé, Detective Anna Travis has thrown herself into her new role as the chief inspector for London's murder squad. When Scotland Yard's missing persons bureau is unable to locate the son of a court employee, the superintendent—James Langton, Anna's former lover turned sometimes friend—urges her to take on the suspicious assignment.
But is this new investigation purely a missing persons case—or a full-blown murder inquiry? An ominous pool of blood with no locatable victim leads Anna on a desperate hunt for a man who has disappeared without a trace. With no body, and increasing pressure to make an arrest, Anna becomes obsessed with the smallest details of the case. Now, one man has vanished, a killer may be loose on the streets, and, as Langton looks on, Anna Travis may be losing control of the investigation—and of herself.

If you detach the sound of pain from its source, I'm willing to bet the result sounds kind of uncomfortable.
Here is a whole Tumblr dedicated to what women in games sound like when in pain. These can sometimes err toward sounding sexualized.
Personally, that's not surprising—my family listens to a whole lot of Spanish dubbed television, and I can't stand it. The women always make it sound like they're acting out a porn movie. They don't even have to be in pain to sound like that.
I'm sure there are countless more examples of clips like the ones featured on that Tumblr or in this post. EDIT: As some readers astutely note, the Tomb Raider reboot is particularly famed for making Lara sound awful.
Maybe it's appropriate that the sound of pain makes us uneasy. Either way, out of context, the sound of pain is unpleasant—if these clips can be considered an accurate representation of what pain sounds like, anyway.

A veteran area educator was hired Monday as the new director of curriculum and technology for the Marietta City school district.
At a special meeting, the Marietta City Board of Education unanimously approved the hiring of Ruth Kunze as director of curriculum and technology on an interim basis. She retired this spring after 35 years with Belpre City Schools, where she served as a teacher, assistant principal at Belpre Elementary School, coordinator for Reading First and coordinator for the Race to the Top and Teacher Incentive Fund programs.
Kunze said she was drawn to the position when she saw it posted because of her interest in working with curriculum and instructional leadership.
Article Photos
"This job is one that I've always wanted to do, so I will do my best for you," she told the board after the vote was taken.
Kunze's salary will be a prorated amount based on $70,000 a year, the amount made by her predecessor, Jason Smith, who recently stepped down as director of teaching and learning.
Superintendent Harry Fleming said the change in title is simply more descriptive of the job. Kunze's duties will largely be the same as Smith's, who oversaw curriculum design and implementation, school improvement, professional development planning and more, in addition to chairing the district's technology committee.
Fact Box
Ruth Kunze
Age: 56.
Residence: Parkersburg.
Family: Husband, Norman; two adult children.
Occupation: Hired Monday as Marietta City Schools' director of curriculum and technology.
Experience: 35 years with Belpre City Schools, working as a teacher, elementary school principal, Reading First coordinator and Race to the Top and Teacher Incentive Fund coordinator.
Fleming, who worked with Kunze while he was superintendent at Belpre, praised her work ethic. He said she was hired on an interim basis because the school year had already begun, and the district will assess the arrangement in the spring.
"We may not do another search," he said. "If she likes us and we like her, which I think we will, we may just offer her the job in the spring."

Police on Monday evening were searching for a man who allegedly threatened to shoot people at the Dollar General store on Route 611 in Mount Pocono.
At about 5:30 p.m., the man said he was going to get a gun and head to the store, according to scanner reports.
The man was described as white, 6 foot 7 inches, with medium-length hair. He has a bar-code tattoo on his neck, a teardrop tattoo under
his left eye, and was reported to be wearing a black hat, army jacket and black pants.
No further details were available.

Make bundling up more fun with a Kai-lan scarf. Simply make the character-shaped appliquées using the printable template and glue them to a fleece scarf (store-bought or self-made).
Watch Ni Hao, Kai-lan only on Nick Jr.
Start with a store-bought fleece scarf or make your own by cutting a 48- to 54-inch piece of fleece about 6 inches wide. For a thicker scarf, iron in fusible interfacing (such as Wonder Under) between two pieces of fleece or stitch them together on a sewing machine.
Print the scarf template, cut out the shapes, and set them aside.
Following the diagrams on the scarf template, trace the shapes onto felt of designated colors.
Following the image reference on the template, arrange and glue the felt shapes together. Glue Kai-lan's head at one end and the flower shapes at the other end of the scarf. Let the glue dry for about two hours.
Use black puffy paint pen to draw Kai-lan's eyebrows, nose, and to outline Kai-lan's eyes. Use pink puffy paint to draw Kai-lan's tongue. You can use embroidery floss or pearl cotton to add trim; simply stitch two rows of thread along the bottom of the scarf using a long running stitch.
You can create a colorful border for the scarf by cutting out two 12- by 2-inch pieces of felt, folding them in half lengthwise, and pressing them with a hot iron. Slip one end of the scarf into one of the folded rectangles and glue it in place. Do the same at the opposite end of the scarf.
Press the scarf lightly with an iron on the low setting. For best results, follow the ironing directions for the 3-D fabric paint or wait a couple of days before ironing the scarf.

I just got replacement stuff for my kit (I got a while ago), can not wait to break them out!!!!
eeep, guess i better get onto it before the jump. that $38.45 shipping is slightly less painful with the AUD at the moment.
Heads up folks - I've got exactly 3 of these kits left before the price goes up.
I just grabbed one. Thanks Dave. -Doug
Thank you Doug!
Maybe you can give me some tips to get started at the ECG? I am looking forward to seeing you again and attending the ECG. I am headed out this afternoon to the Blacksmith Guild of Central Maryland's annual Blacksmith Days Event. -Doug
Hey Dave, you got one more of these left for me? I'll take it if you do
I'm sorry to say that they're sold out. Should you maybe want only part of the kit we have all of the components except for the felt pad though.
I'll wait for the stocks to come in then... Unless I can take a set on pre-order at the existing price?

Elective Courses
Our comprehensive menu of elective courses enables students to shape their legal education based on their individual goals and interests. Upper-level students can choose to focus on a particular area of law, earn a certificate in a specialized practice area, or complement their legal education with an advanced degree in another field of interest. Students can also take up to six (6) credits in professionally-related MSU graduate level coursework toward the 88 credits required for graduation from the Law College.
Not every elective course will be offered each semester. Students are strongly encouraged to seek guidance on course selection and discuss their academic plans with the associate dean of student engagement, associate director of student engagement, or faculty members. Law College staff present programs periodically during the first year to help students plan their upper-level course schedules.

Old band dissolved, Dribbon stomps on
Published: Friday, January 25, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 1:48 p.m.
Dave Dribbon didn't wait long after one band's collapse to form another.
Want to go?
Who: Dave Dribbon and the Stomping Rain
When: 9:30 p.m. today
Where: Lexington Avenue Brewery, Asheville
Tickets: $7
Info: 828-252-0212, www.lexavebrew.com
The former co-founder of Ten Hollow will play his fourth gig tonight with his new project, Dave Dribbon and the Stomping Rain.
The group will play at 9:30 p.m. at the Lexington Avenue Brewery in Asheville.
Dribbon said internal issues broke up Ten Hollow last spring after the group released an EP. Now, some of the songs he brought to his old group, along with many new ones, will be on display.
"There's more of a rock edge to it," Dribbon said about the new sound. "With Ten Hollow, it was easy to call us an Americana-rock band. This is more rock but still has Americana roots."
He said the sound resembles Elvis Costello meeting Jeff Buckley and Van Morrison.
Former Ten Hollow drummer Kent Spillmann, bassist Pete Van Rijssen and guitarist Tim Marsh round out the group.
Dribbon met his new bandmates through an ever-growing network of musicians in the Asheville area. He got to listen to them play online before sitting down to meet.
"Finding these guys was easier than in the past," Dribbon said. "In the past, it was looking for musicians through Craigslist and then auditioning."
After the breakup of Ten Hollow, Dribbon spent the summer writing new music and then put together the new group in September.
Songs such as "I Know I Was Wrong" and "Goodbye Virginia" from the old group will find their way into the new setlist.
"The musicianship is great, and the vibe is good with all of the guys," he said. "All egos are checked at the door."

"When the world zigs, zag"
This philosophy was born out of the first print execution we ever produced back in 1982 to launch black Levi's. It became something of a model for our own business…and how we approach Client's problems always seeking to challenge the prevailing or conventional wisdom.
The philosophy has created moments in our own history when we decided to go against the grain of our industry. We were the first agency to become financially transparent. We were the first agency to create a micro network to serve global business. We were the first agency to recognise the need for channel planning to be at the heart of all creative development so we created a discipline called Engagement planning.
Engagement planning, not to be confused with media planning, is focused on understanding the consumer journey, bringing clarity to the roles different channels play in the marketing mix, identifying how brands can be built through interaction and participation, and most importantly using disruptive channel thinking to get to bigger ideas that deliver a step change in communication effectiveness.
At BBH, we believe in one central belief; that big, enduring ideas are the key to successful communications that create value for our Clients. It was true in 1982. It is even more true today. And in an increasingly complex and competitive world, it will be truer still tomorrow. So everything we do and all our structures support that single thought.
Whilst searching for virtual animals, seek out the people who need to be found
A new ambient campaign created by BBH Barn, the creative placement scheme run by BBH London, seeks to take advantage of the current Pokémon GO craze in order to raise awareness for the real high risk missing people who desperately need to be found and made safe.
Pokémon GO has taken the world by storm, with players using their phones to search for virtual animals that are hidden in real locations all over the country. As a result, huge groups of people are now searching high and low, and real world locations like bars, cafes and parks have been turned into hunting grounds or recharging stations.
Over 5 million people play Pokemon Go in the UK and around 250,000 people go missing every year in the UK. The new campaign urges people playing the game to look for real missing people while they're out searching for the virtual Pokemon.
Missing People is an independent charity which offers a lifeline when someone disappears. The charity searches for missing people on behalf of their friends and families left behind, and provides specialised support to ease their heartache and confusion.
Vinyl posters of missing people borrow the look and feel of Pokemon balls to target gamers in the area the at risk individual was last spotted. They ask anyone with information to call the charity's free, 24/7 and confidential helpline 116 000. The Vinyls were placed on the floor to be most visible to Pokemon gamers looking down at their phones. Posters will also run in high visibility sights in popular Pokemon hotspots as well as transport hubs, including London Waterloo station. Media has been donated by JCDecaux - one of the UK's number one leading out-of-home advertising companies company, and a key supporter of the charity.
To determine the most relevant places in which to activate the campaign, BBH has cross referenced locations where high risk missing people were last spotted with popular Pokémon GO hotspots. The first of these took place at an organised Pokemon GO walk in Trafalgar square - a mass quest to catch Pokémon, battle and trade with others around central London, which attracted over four thousand attendees.

Tuesday's letters: When I'd shoot
Published: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 15, 2013 at 4:18 p.m.
To the editor: If I had a gun in my hand and someone was a serious threat to my life, would I kill the intruder? I may not. At least not to save my own life. But if I had time to think (as I do now), I may kill him, thinking he may go on to kill others if I dont. Im not sure. And my hesitation might cost me my life.
If he was a serious threat to my family, I would be more likely to shoot him. If he threatened someone elses family, and if all else failed, Id likely shoot him.
What if he were a public official, posing the same threat? Again, I may hesitate, and that might cost lives. But, all things considered, I would probably shoot him.
What if it were the president of the U.S. along with several others would I shoot all of them, especially if they had already killed thousands of men, women and children along with the rampant destruction of the property in another country?
If our system of democracy and justice worked fairly, it would never happen. If it did, they should pay the penalty.
Don Keefauver
Job well done
To the editor: If this letter gets printed in the Times-News, it will probably be after Pride and Prejudice has finished its run at Blue Ridge Community College. For those lucky enough to have seen it, they will know what I am talking about.
It was faultless from beginning to end and included a cast that was pure joy and extremely talented. I laughed, I cried, I realized once again what a gem BRCC is in our community, and I thoroughly enjoyed being in an audience of students and other patrons who were so proud of this production.
I cant say enough about how good it was. Congratulations BRCC, on a job very well done. I wont miss future productions.
Cindy Walker
Editors note: Pride and Prejudice performances are set for 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday in Patton Auditorium.

MARIETTA - Forget lining up for Thanksgiving leftovers. Thursday evening, eager shoppers were lining up for deals, getting a head start on the biggest shopping day of the year.
Some, like sisters Lindsey Vickers and Chelsea Worstell, had been anticipating the frenzied overnighter for longer than others.
"Chelsea and I have been plotting since June. That's when we set up our babysitting," said Vickers as she waited for another round of door busters at Marietta Wal-Mart Thursday evening.

Hundreds of eager shoppers wait outside of Marietta Kmart Thursday evening for a round of door busters set to begin at 8 p.m. Several stores opened their doors Thursday evening this year, giving consumers an even earlier jump on Black Friday shopping.
Vickers planned to shop through the night and into Friday morning, when she would ring in her 30th birthday.
"It's the best birthday shopping ever," she said.
Having spent the past four Black Fridays in a similar fashion, Vickers, a Marietta resident, and 22-year-old Worstell, of Columbus, are no newcomers when it comes to hunting for deals.
Fact Box
Holiday Events
* Annual Marietta Christmas Parade, featuring Santa and Mrs. Claus - Today 1 p.m., Front and Second streets
* Raising Cane Grand Illumination Ceremony, lighting ceremony for new downtown Marietta decorations - today 5:45 p.m., 132 Putnam St.
* Small Business Saturday, goal is to support small, independently owned businesses; all day today, downtown Marietta and Harmar Village
* Annual Beverly-Waterford Christmas Parade and Dodge Park lighting ceremony, free refreshments, canned food donations welcome - Sunday, parade starts at 5:30 at Waterford High School and ends at Dodge Park for the lighting ceremony
"It's not as good as years past," added Worstell, who did not like the new door buster format that had Wal-Mart shoppers waiting for DVD deals in the milk aisle and vacuum cleaners in the sporting goods section.
To combat the confusion, Wal-Mart shoppers walked around with maps of the store, showing them where and when different products would be on sale.
At Marietta Kmart, which closed at 4 p.m. Thursday, customers lined up around the building in anticipation of the stores 8 p.m. reopening. Two big television deals drew shoppers in, but not everyone was happy with the results.
"They said they passed out tickets," said Marietta resident Randy Oliver, who had waited in line since 6 p.m. Thursday to take advantage of one of the television bargains.
Oliver and his family managed to snag a 24 inch LED television, but without one of the seven tickets handed out in line outside the store, they did not get the sale price on it.
"We're disappointed. We weren't that far back in line," he said.
But maps and tickets did not leave everyone in the lurch.
"Best Black Friday ever," said Dan Postlethwait, 28, of Caldwell, as he wheeled his 50 inch LCD television to the car.
Postlethwait said he actually appreciated the ticketing method at Kmart because it saved shoppers from stampeding for the electronics section once inside.
"It saved all that commotion," he said.
Though certain deals tended to draw large crowds Thursday and Friday, not everyone was shopping for specific items.
"I'm here to buy stuff. I just don't know what yet," said 21-year-old Kelly Moats as she browsed at Wal-Mart near midnight Friday.
Mother and daughter shoppers Laura Nottingham, 43, and Marisa Devlay, 12, had a similarly laid-back attitude at Kmart.
"It's easier when you're not after something specific. We sort of just take it easy," said Nottingham.
Added Devlay, "I like shopping, but people are crazy."
Marietta resident Craig Nichols and his nephew Christopher Becker, 31, of Devola, found a cozy way to avoid the craziness while shopping at Wal-Mart.
Comfortably seated on an end cap stuffed with furry comforters, Nichols said the he would have gladly stayed home if not on a mission for a particular deal.
"But it's nice seeing people you know. There's a lot of people out," said Nichols.
Typically Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year, the day when retailers begin to turn a profit or go "into the black". However, the retail holiday's slow creep into Thursday became ever more apparent
this year.
Last year, only a handful of stores opened at midnight at the Grand Central Mall in Vienna. This year that number was well over half, said the mall's specialty leasing manager, Janet Spoerer.
"Almost the entire mall," she said.
The burst of early shopping slowed down in the pre-dawn hours and was just picking back up around noon Friday, Spoerer added.
Kmart manager Lori Posey also noted Friday morning that it had calmed down significantly since the Thursday evening rush.
"It was nuts, but it was a good nuts," said Posey.
The store closed at 3 a.m. Friday and reopened with a final set of sales at 5 a.m., but the last round of door busters drew less of a crowd than Thursday's 8 p.m. round, noted Posey.
This year's Thursday sales bump and Friday morning drop off could have an impact on retailers' actual Friday profits.
"Thursday went extremely well. However, it impacted our sales today in a negative way," said Peebles manager Summer Mason Friday morning.
Still, said Mason, more customers than ever were waiting for Thursday's 8 p.m. opening.
"We had a total of 78 people waiting for us at the front door which is the most people we've had come through," she said.

Bill Kauffman
Bill Kauffman was born on November 15 (also the birthday of Bobby Dandridge) in the otherwise forgettable year of 1959. He was an all-star Little League shortstop for the Lions Club Cubs but soon thereafter his talents eroded. After an idyllic childhood in his ancestral home of Batavia, New York, birthplace of Anti-Masonry, he was graduated from Batavia High School in 1977. He earned, more or less, a B.A. from the University of Rochester in 1981 and went therefrom to the staff of Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the only dairy farmer in the U.S. Senate. Two and a half years later he left Moynihan's staff a bohemian Main Street anarchist who loved the Beats, the New England transcendentalists, early 20th century local colorists (Sarah Orne Jewett his Maine gal), cowpunk music, and the crazy old America. Neil Diamond and Karen Carpenter, too, but don't tell anyone. He bummed around out west for a while, sleeping in bus stations and writing derivative poetry in Salt Lake City flophouses (nah, he's not a Mormon, just a BYU fan) before an ill-starred year in graduate school at the UR. He took a seminar with Christopher Lasch and thought on it. In the spring of 1985 he flew west to become an assistant editor with Reason magazine. He had great fun in Santa Barbara with that crew of congenial editors drinking far into the night at Eddie Van Cleeve's Sportsman's Lounge, but in '86 he flew east to become the magazine's Washington editor. Always homesick, Kauffman persuaded his lovely and talented wife Lucine, a Los Angelena, to move back to Batavia in 1988 in what he called a "one-year experiment"—the year to be measured, apparently, in Old Testament terms. They're still there—or, more accurately, five miles north in Elba (apt name for an exile!), where Lucine is Town Supervisor. She may well be the highest-ranking Armenian-American elected official in the country, at least until the voters of California send Cher to the U.S. Senate. Take that, Turks!
Lucine and Bill have a daughter, Gretel, 17, who writes and acts and plays piano and French horn. Their lab mutt, Victoria, whose tail graces the accompanying photo, is now departed, to their sorrow, but a cat, Duffy, darts in and out of the house when the mood strikes.
Bill is the author of nine books: Every Man a King (Soho Press/1989), a novel, which was recently rescued from the remainder bin by a New York Sun article proclaiming it the best political satire of the last century (the Sun thereupon set); Country Towns of New York (McGraw-Hill/1994), a travel book about God's country; America First! Its History, Culture and Politics (Prometheus/1995), a cultural history of isolationism which Benjamin Schwarz in the Atlantic called the best introduction to the American anti-imperialist tradition; With Good Intentions? Reflections on the Myth of Progress in America (Praeger/1998), his worst-seller, a sympathetic account of critics of highways, school consolidation, a standing army, and the Siren Progress; Dispatches from the Muckdog Gazette: A Mostly Affectionate Account of a Small Town's Fight to Survive (Henry Holt/2003; Picador ppb. 2004), a memoirish book about his hometown which won the 2003 national "Sense of Place" award from Writers & Books; Look Homeward, America: In Search of Reactionary Radicals and Front-Porch Anarchists (ISI/2006), which the American Library Association named one of the best books of 2006 and which won the Andrew Eiseman Writers Award; Ain't My America: The Long Noble History of Antiwar Conservatism and Middle American Anti-Imperialism (Henry Holt/ Metropolitan/2008), which Barnes & Noble named one of the best books of 2008; Forgotten Founder: Drunken Prophet: The Life of Luther Martin (ISI/2008), a biography of a brilliant dipsomaniacal Anti-Federalist who warned us this was gonna happen; and Bye Bye, Miss American Empire (Chelsea Green/2010), a cheerful account of dissolution.
Bill is a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal and a columnist for The American Conservative. He has written for numerous publications, including The American Scholar, the Los Angeles Times Book Review, The Nation, Chronicles, the Independent and The Spectator of London, Counterpunch, Orion, University Bookman, and Utne Reader.
He is vice president of the Genesee County Baseball Club, which owns the Batavia Muckdogs of the New York-Penn Baseball League. Come summertime, he can be found in the 3rd base bleachers at Dwyer Stadium. He is also active in the officerless (of course) John Gardner Society.
Bill is more handsome than the photo on this site would suggest.

VAIL, Colorado - Vail Mountain announced Tuesday it would reopen this weekend following 2 feet of snow that has fallen at the resort since Sunday's closing day.
Chatter spread on social media Monday as the snow came down hard throughout the valley. Skiers and snowboarders talked about the irony of a huge snowstorm the day after the lifts closed.
Vail Mountain Chief Operating Officer Chris Jarnot said resort officials started talking about reopening Monday night as a result of the massive snowstorm.
"We were up yesterday for our employee (ski) day and it was absolutely incredible and then when it just kept snowing as hard is it did all day long - and we knew there was more in the forecast - we started talking about 'We should do this,'" Jarnot said. "This is why all of us are here - (the snow's) too good not to take advantage of and share. We talked about it last night and pulled the trigger."
Reopening a resort after it has officially closed is tough work. Jarnot said the resort had to figure out which employees are still in town and then rehire them and redistribute uniforms, among other logistics.
Vail Mountain spokeswoman Sara Lococo said the last time the resort extended the season past closing day was at the end of the 1986-87 season.
Jarnot said the resort will spend the next couple of days getting its staff back together.
"That's part of the reason we can't reopen until Friday," Jarnot said. "We just wanted to get the word out that it would happen."
Skiers and riders were overjoyed with the news Tuesday morning. Within 10 minutes of Vail's announcement on its Facebook page, nearly 200 people had already shared the status update. Within an hour, more than 800 people had shared the news and nearly 1,200 people had "liked" the update.
"Thank you so much Vail!" commented Jess Coulter on Vail Mountain's Facebook page. "Yesterday was torturous watching it dump all day knowing the mountains in Eagle County were all closed."
Jarnot, who was just about to board a plane Tuesday morning for a family vacation, said he never imaged in his wildest dreams that he would have missed being in Vail this week. Jarnot said it's important to note that Vail Mountain wouldn't be able to offer the level of guest services and amenities the resort typically provides. On-Mountain dining, for example, will be offered at Mid-Vail, Marketplace at Eagle's Nest and Buffalo's, but options will be limited.
"We're trying to give everybody a chance to get up and enjoy all this incredible snow," Jarnot said. "It's going to be a stripped-down experience."
Jarnot expects a lot of Front Range and local pass holders to come to Vail this weekend for "a great way to end our 50th anniversary season."
The announcement means others will also need to adjust plans, including business owners and the town of Vail.
Lionshead bar owner Dennis Foley, who owns Bart-N-Yeti's, had planned on being closed but announced he'd reopen Friday through Sunday because of the resort's reopening.
Town of Vail Public Works Director Greg Hall said the town is looking for available bus drivers before determining how much additional town bus service it could provide this weekend. The last day of work for many town bus drivers was this past Sunday, the resort's official closing day.
The town of Vail's parking garages switched to free parking Monday morning and will remain free this weekend, town spokeswoman Suzanne Silverthorn said. The town is also prepared to accommodate parking on the South Frontage Road should the garages fill up.
Assistant Managing Editor Lauren Glendenning can be reached at 970-748-2983 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

SEATTLE -- All the changes Cal made during the week -- and the one that didn't happen -- had no impact on the bottom line Saturday night at Husky Stadium.
Bishop Sankey ran for a career-best 241 yards and two touchdowns and Keith Price passed for 376 yards and two TDs as Washington dominated the Golden Bears 41-17 in front of 62,328 fans.
Coach Sonny Dykes shuffled his offensive line and let freshman quarterback Jared Goff compete all week for his job, but none of that prevented the Bears from losing their 12th straight game to a Football Subdivision opponent and their 10th straight to a Pac-12 rival.
"It feels similar ... frustrating," Dykes said afterward. "We certainly don't ever don't want to get used to losing. They all sting badly.
"It's tough because you play good in spurts, but that's not good enough against the people we're playing against."
Cal (1-7, 0-5) has not even held a lead at any time during a six-game losing streak since a Sept. 7 win over FCS opponent Portland State.
The defense showed no progress, either. The Bears, allowing 44.4 points through seven games, surrendered at least 40 for the sixth time.
Sankey rushed for 188 first-half yards as the Huskies (5-3, 2-3) forged a 24-7 lead, showing they were ready to snap a three-game losing streak.
Price threw touchdown passes of 68 and 47 yards to wide receiver Jaydon Mickens to flush the memory of a 53-24 loss at Arizona State the week before. He also scored on a 1-yard keeper.
Goff played turnover-free ball and completed 32 of 54 passes for 336 yards, including a 6-yard touchdown pass to Chris Harper in the second quarter.
But he was sacked five times and the Bears had little in the way of a running game until freshman Khalfani Muhammad broke off a 73-yard TD run with 5:06 left.
"We can't expect to score 10 points in 31/2 quarters and win the game," Goff said.
Dykes was encouraged by a more solid performance from Goff, whose turnover difficulties prompted last week's practice competition against Zach Kline.
"His composure I don't think was an issue tonight at all," Dykes said of Goff. "He seemed calm, more confident than he has the last couple weeks. I think he's on the verge of getting it all together."
Dykes said Kline gave the team good energy in practice, but acknowledged Goff likely will be the starter the rest of the season unless something unforeseen occurs.
"We just feel like Jared is the long-term solution at that position," Dykes said.
The Huskies, coming off three straight defeats, made it look easy on their first possession of the game.
Pinned at their own 3-yard line, the Huskies went 97 yards in 11 plays to become the seventh Cal opponent in eight games to score a touchdown on their opening possession.
Price, who was uncertain to play early in the week because of a thumb injury on his throwing hand, was 6 for 6 passing for 74 yards on the drive. Sankey carried five times for 23 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown run on a pitch play to the right with 8:48 left in the quarter.
A 42-yard run by Sankey set up Travis Coons' career-long 46-yard field goal before Price threw a 68-yard touchdown pass to Mickens on a third-and-10 play, pushing the Huskies' lead to 17-0 with 1:41 left in the opening quarter.
The Bears have been outscored 127-34 in the first quarter this season.
Cal's defense forced four straight punts in the second quarter, but two plays turned the game permanently in UW's favor.
Trailing 17-7, the Bears used a reverse to Bryce Treggs to get the ball inside the Washington 10. But an illegal block by Goff nullified the play, ultimately forcing one of Cal's nine first-half punts.
Then, with 1:08 left in the half, Sankey broke loose for a 59-yard touchdown and UW pushed its lead to 24-7.
It's those lapses that linebacker Khairi Fortt said are most frustrating. But he said the Bears will return to practice Monday eager to keep trying to improve.
Asked if this team can win again, Fortt said, "Oh yes, for sure. There's no doubt. Nobody's giving up on coach Dykes or the staff or the team."
Goff agreed all is not lost.
"It's hard to imagine, but I think we're really coming together as a team through all this pain and struggling," he said. "I do definitely see a light at the end of the tunnel.".

The UTEPCollege of Business Administration offers the only AACSB
Accredited business programs in the El Paso border region.
Every year, The University of Texas at El Paso and the UTEP Alumni Association honor a group of distinguished men and women whose achievements stand out as monuments to dedication, integrity and hard work – they are the UTEP Distinguished Alumni.
The Distinguished Alumni award is the highest recognition bestowed upon alumni of the University.
This year's Distinguished Alumni include a former College of Business Administration Gold Nugget, Mr. Robert Wingo.
Despite his work with the Martin Luther King, Jr., National Memorial Foundation board in Washington, D.C., job offers in New York and clients from major companies around the country, Wingo feels most at home in El Paso.
Now president and CEO of Sanders\Wingo Advertising Inc. in El Paso, he started as the first in his family to graduate from college when he earned a bachelor's degree in marketing from UTEP in 1973.
He joined the advertising firm as co-owner in 1984 after working up to vice president of advertising at Billy the Kid, a non-defunct El Paso boys apparel company. He has since helped expand Sanders\Wingo to Austin and New York, with satellite operations in Atlanta and Los Angeles.
Sanders\Wingo has worked with national clients including AT&T, Burger King, Mini Cooper, State Farm Insurance and the United States Postal Service. His local clients include Peter Piper Pizza, GECU, the Convention and Visitors Bureau and El Paso Water Utilities.
Today, Wingo is focused on creating opportunities for young people by inviting students to visit the company's offices and offering internships.
" Be an active alumni, nota passive one. "

12 College of Business Administration students recently traveled to Scottsdale, Arizona to visit Vanguard. Vanguard is of the world's largest investment management companies, serving individual investors, institutions, employer-sponsored retirement plans, and financial professionals.
Students were welcomed and provided with an organizational overview by Matt Walker, Principle of Institutional Asset Management. The group toured the facility and received an overview of Vanguard's Participant, Retail and Brokerage Service areas by UTEP alumni. Vanguard catered lunch and encouraged students to sit with UTEP Alumni and ask questions about Vanguard as well as each employee's experience transitioning to a new city. The day wrapped up with a panel discussion and mock interviews with Vanguard's HR employees. Overall, the students enjoyed the trip and were excited to hear Vanguard's plans to continue networking with UTEP and hiring its students.
Vanguard currently has one internship and 4 full-time positions available for UTEP students on Jobmine.
A reception was held on March 21st 2012 in the College of Business Administration lobby to thank Lonnie and Maria Elena
Abernathy for the endowment they set up in 2006 in honor of her brother, Alejandro Jesus Guerrero. A commemorative plaque for
display in the lobby was unveiled at the event.
The fellowship is for graduate students studying in the College of Business Administration.
Dr. Abernathy is a retired UTEP faculty member and Alejandro and Maria Elena are both UTEP alumni. We thank them for their generous contributions.
On Friday, November 18th, ten College of Business Administration students visited the ADP facility in El Paso, Texas. Charles
Staniszewski, ADP's Client Relations Manager, welcomed our students and provided an overview of ADP's two business segments
which are Employer and Dealer Services.
Students then participated in a short networking mixer with several managers which enabled them to learn more about ADP and share their
own experiences. While touring ADP's building, students met several more employees and were surprised to see an on-site
doctor's office, café and workout facility. The day ended with lunch in ADP's café where several employees
joined the group and discussed ADP's positive work environment.
Distinguished alumnus Mike Brochu, BBA Accounting '76 and 2004 Gold Nugget, recently spent two days on campus meeting with the students and faculty of the College of Business. He shared his career experience during informal meetings with groups of students and as a guest lecturer in a number of business classes.
Mike and his wife Caprice also established an annual scholarship for COBA students. During his visit he attended the UTEP Scholarship Luncheon and met with Brochu Scholarship recipient German Sanchez, a COBA Senior majoring in Finance.
Previously, Brochu served as the President and COO of Sierra On-Line, Inc., one of the world's largest publishers of interactive entertainment, educational, and home productivity software. There, he spearheaded efforts that increased sales by more than 300 percent, culminating the sale of Sierra On-Line to CUC International for US$1.1 billion in 1996.
Michael Brochu is a seasoned technology executive who brings over 20 years of senior-level experience and operational excellence to GMI. He most recently served as the President and CEO of Loudeye Corporation, a global leader of digital music platforms and digital media distribution services, which Nokia acquired in 2006.
Before Loudeye, Mike was President and CEO of Primus Knowledge Solutions, Inc., an award-winning provider of e-service software solutions. In 1999, Brochu took Primus public, and facilitated the acquisition of the company by Art Technology Group (ATG) in 2004.
Mike currently sits on the board of directors of ATG, Zotec Partners, and the advisory board of Seattle-based venture capital firm Voyager Capital, which is also one of GMI's early institutional investors. Mike was named Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year in 2000.
LaVoyne Newman, William K. Newman and Kimberly A. Newman have generously created the William C. and
Lavoyne Newman and Family Endowed Scholarship in honor of William C. Newman, a graduate of Texas Western who
went on to practice law in Texas for over 50 years.
The endowement will be used to provide scholarships to the
students in the College of Business Administration with an interest in entrepreneurship.
Kevin Newman is a UTEP graduate and teaches Juniors and Seniors U. S. History, Government and World History at Chapin High School. In 2006, Kevin was nominated for Teacher of the Year.
Kimberly Newman has her Masters in Education and is a Math Specialist for K thru 5 at the Glen Oaks Elementary School in San Antonio, Texas. Kim was awarded Teacher of the Year for 2008.

3. Blogging timezone annoyance
4. Love It or Leave It
How many people in our profession really love what they do? My perception is very skewed because I meet the people that read books and make the effort to come out to seminars and conferences. There are a significant number of people who never leave the home-office loop but still read books and magazines and struggle with new concepts, discussing them with co-workers. And there are those mythical unseen creatures, of whom I've only met when giving a presentation inside a company (usually a larger company, since it's a good place to hide) so that the effort is limited to walking from the cubicle to the auditorium. I recognize them because they ask questions that amount to "why should I learn anything new?" They don't want to read or struggle with new concepts because it is uncomfortable (It makes your brain hurt a little, which I think means you're growing new neurons. Think of it as an investment against dementia in later life). If you've seen the movie "Office Space," you know them \x{2013} that wonderful character who was fired years ago, but keeps coming into work, keeps getting his cubicle moved and made smaller, and keeps wondering where his stapler is. I'm not worried about offending him (yes, him, because as my girlfriend keeps wondering about, we seem to be an unusally male-dominated field) because he doesn't read and so he won't read this. But I don't think this is a person who is part of our profession, but rather someone who just exists in our profession. And probably because, long ago, someone said "get into programming, it pays well."
I am similarly lucky, I suppose. My friends are geeks; when they're into something, they're into it. I occasionally spot some indecision and indifference among my students, and I try to help them see the relevance of CS and how fun it can be.
Passion is essential.

Call (602) 506-6616
File a Complaint Online
West Nile Virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne virus that can cause encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) or meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord). Only an estimated 1-3% of WNV infections, result in serious disease. Most people who are infected will show no symptoms at all, or have mild flu-like symptoms such as headache, fever and body aches. Rarely do symptoms get more severe.
WNV is spread by mosquitoes that feed on infected birds that have migrated into an area. The mosquitoes then bite people or horses, who may or may not become infected.
Encephalitis is not spread by person-to-person contact, nor animal to human contact. The cycle of WNV occurs at an unusually high intensity when there is both a large number of infected birds and a high rate of mosquitoes in a relatively small geographic area.
Because WNV causes death in birds, we expect dead birds to be the first warning of WNV activity in an area. Since WNV is spread by mosquitoes feeding on infected birds, Maricopa County will be testing dead bird specimens for the presence of WNV.
MCESD will record and analyze dead bird reports, which will be used to identify areas for intensified surveillance of virus activity including bird testing, mosquito trapping and active disease surveillance.
If you should find a dead bird please report it to the MCESD Complaint Line at 602-506-6616 or file your complaint online at:
Dead Bird Complaint Form
Upon submitting a report, citizens will be advised of the delivery process.
The bird must be freshly dead (less than 24 hours)
Not scavenged, no odor, no maggots, ants or other insects
Body must NOT be soft and mushy
Must NOT be a baby bird
Must NOT be a pigeon
Must NOT be a dove
Birds must be kept chilled.
Do not freeze. Freezing will kill the virus, if the virus is present.
When handling the bird, please use gloves or the inverted plastic bag method.
These reports will be summarized and provided to the state health department. See Arizona Department of Health Services for current statewide updates at:
Mosquitoes are the known carriers (vectors) of the viruses from the host birds to humans. Humans and animals are incidental hosts in this bird-mosquito cycle.
If you are currently experiencing mosquito activity in your area, please report this activity to MCESD Complaint Line at 602-506-6616 or file your mosquito activity concern at:
Mosquito Complaint Form
The following are guidelines to minimize the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses:
Eliminate standing water, which allows mosquitoes to breed. Check for items outside the home that collect water, such as cans, bottles, jars, buckets, old tires, drums and other containers.
Change water in flower vases, bird baths, planters and animal watering pans at least twice a week.
Repair leaky pipes and outside faucets, and move air conditioner drain hoses frequently.
Avoid bites when going outside at night in areas where mosquitoes are present by using insect repellent.
Wear light-weight clothing that covers the arms and legs.

OAKLAND -- A fixture on Bay Area television screens for more than a decade is going to try her hand at politics this year by running for an open seat on the Oakland City Council.
Longtime news anchor Dana King, who retired from KPIX just over a year ago, says she will seek to replace Pat Kernighan, who is not running for re-election in a district that includes Chinatown, the relatively affluent Grand Lake and Trestle Glen neighborhoods and the working class San Antonio district.
"I don't come from (the political) world, but there are many parallels to journalism," King said. "I've spent 25 years figuring out what is the truth in a story. I think that's pretty good training of what's required of a city council member."
King, 53, who is a full-time artist, moved from Sausalito to Oakland in 2012 after buying a San Antonio-district live/work studio. She started considering a council bid after learning of Kernighan's retirement.
"I suppose I might be looked at as a carpetbagger, but I chose to move here because I want to be part of this exciting, vibrant community," she said.
King said she will finalize her platform after meeting with district residents. Key issues will include police staffing, quality of life concerns such as tagging, and affordable development. "We have to recognize the historical aspect of this community and make sure that the people who spend their lives here don't get pushed out," she said.
King said she is a fan of Kernighan, who is considered a political moderate. But she wouldn't put any labels on herself. "Whatever position I take it will be after deep study," she said.
King said she has hired veteran political consultant Doug Linney to run her campaign.
The only other candidate currently declared in the race to succeed Kernighan is Sokhom Mao, a foster youth advocate who sits on the Oakland Citizens' Police Review Board.

One last go-around for sports news and views... News —�McPherson High appears headed for a district football championship barring an upset. Views —�And that would net the Bullpups a home playoff game on Tuesday, Oct. 30. The Bullpups would play a second-place district finisher. MHS struggled somewhat with Smoky Valley last week, as the Vikings played with a lot of spirit and energy. But once MHS figured out the Vikings' option game, it dominated. Abilene and Chapman aren't expected to give the Bullpups a big push in these final two games, but MHS coach Tom Young wants his team to get better each game, since there are some quality opponents down the line. News —McPherson College's Bulldogs go from first to fourth place in the KCAC after losing 38-14 to Ottawa. Views —�This one was a head scratcher. Mac piled up nearly 500 yards of total offense and dominated the time of possession. But those four ugly turnovers were huge and the Bulldogs again struggled in the red zone, which has been their problem area all year. If this team could just finish drives, it would be 5-1 and probably ranked in the top 15 in the country. Now the Bulldogs have their second open date in three weeks, which makes it hard to get any continuity. All that's left are Saint Mary, Kansas Wesleyan and Sterling, all winnable games. Coach Pete Sterbick said the goal is 6-3, which would give it momentum heading into next season. News —�McPherson High's volleyball team is ranked No. 1 and the soccer team No. 3 in their most recent polls. Views — It's all on the line for the volleyball team this weekend. MHS will get a stiff challenge from either Wamego or Abilene. Wamego, which is best known for producing former McPherson College basketball coach and current Canton-Galva AD Roger Trimmell, will have a homecourt advantage if it meets MHS, while Abilene always has a strong tradition. The Bullpups wouldn't expect anything less than a formidable challenge, which is why they played in the Newton and Ottawa tournaments, to play the very best competition they can find. The soccer team is at Hutchinson today in a game that should fuel its juices, then comes postseason play next week. We'll be shocked if this team doesn't make a deep, deep run into the playoffs, as it has all the tools of a champion. News —�The Kansas City Chiefs continue their quest for the No. 1 overall draft pick next April. Views —�How did this happen? How did this team totally come apart at the seams? Except for the huge comeback against New Orleans, the Chiefs haven't been remotely competitive. They haven't even led in a game this year, which has to be some type of NFL record. The worst thing that happened last season was the Chiefs handing Green Bay its only regular-season loss, as that's what assured Romeo Crennel's job. It's time for the penny-pinching Chiefs to throw a wad of coin at Bill Cowher, luring him off the TV set. They need this kind of forceful presence to give this team a jolt. News —�Kansas State is ranked No. 4 in the first BCS poll. Views —�And, of course, it takes that shiny new ranking into Morgantown to play explosive West Virginia on Saturday in what is the game of the week in college football. The Wildcats are the more solid team, the Mountaineers the more spectacular. Kansas State's defense will be put to the test, but how will West Virginia ever stop the running of Collin Klein and John Hubert? We look for the Wildcats in a squeaker.
