Washington, Ga--Washington Wilkes has had a great tradition for football. Heck it wasn't that long ago they were playing Lincoln County for a state title. It's been a tough go of it the last few seasons and now the emphasis is returning to the winning ways.
It all starts at the top with Robbie Robinson stepping in as new head coach. Robinson is loving the atmosphere and the commitment the school and community has for it's kids. With only seven seniors, he also knows it's going to be a work in progress. They have skill guys back but are going to be very young up front.
"The old saying is you got to get better every week and that's all we're really focused on." said new coach Robbie Robinson "We just got to go out and play every Friday night and hopefully improve as we get into region play and hopefully by the end of the season we stay healthy and get hot."
"The strength of this squad, like I said, is we have a lot of guys who want to be out here every day." said David Martin "A lot of hard working players, I mean if we continue to work hard we can do something this year."
Part of the new commitment is a new weight room, where there's all new equipment. Now the guys have to put in the time. Wilkes is thrown right into the fire battling Thomson Friday night.

Open Source and Standards in the Marketplace
Technology and the Internet revolution have made the world a smaller and "flatter" place. Global innovation continues to bring people around the world closer to one another, but we're now starting to realize that just being connected isn't enough.
Fortunately, a new revolution is beginning: one that holds significant potential. The planet is becoming smarter. Intelligence is being infused into the way the world literally works—into the systems, processes and infrastructure that enable physical goods to be developed, manufactured, bought and sold; that allow services to be delivered; that facilitate the movement of everything from money and oil to water and electrons. Ultimately, this will help to improve how billions of people work and live.
Open Source & Standards are key to making our planet smarter and improving the way we live and work.
Open Source:
Open source in IT is software whose source code is published and made available to the public, enabling anyone to copy, modify and redistribute the source code without paying royalties or fees.
A standard is a specification that has been agreed upon by a community, through usage or declaration. Once established, any number of duplicates or variants can be made, while keeping the basic structure or function intact.

yes, it seems that is where the patriotism now lies.
Primary tabs
What is the most important issue to you in deciding who to support for president?
8 Comments
It seems so far must of our American legions comments our on the RNC side.
asususer: I watched all 3 days of the convention on C-SPAN. No talking heads, no commercials, no interruptions. Apparently you weren't watching the convention as it unfolded. Our military, our men and women in uniform now and veterans, were a constant in many who in spoke. Thorough disgust is what this president has done to our military, and continues to do to our military...making sure that we the United States of America is brought to our knees on every level...economy, constitution, values and yes, the ability in any form to defend ourselves or any of our allies! Our men and women in uniform are being sent to Afghanistan on repeated tours, because Obama has cut the requirements for recruitment and there are no replacements!! He and his cronnies do not love or believe in the America us Veterans gave an oath to die for. He didn't grow up here and he has no love of America only disdain.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are the only ....ONLY...hope for restoring everything that is about loving and protecting our Great Country.
I never heard even one reference to the military by any of those at the RNC - Nothing for the women, nothing for the men, nothing for those waiting, nothing for those suffering - Not a word. They disgust me.
The most important to me in this election is:
INTEGRITY, HONESTY, COMMITMENT, BELIEF IN AMERICA!!! Anyone can make promises. I want, we need a leader that will only make promises they can keep and will give everything they have to their last breath to keep those promises. The spirit of Americans is not based upon making excuses or blaming someone else for our failures. The spirit of Americans believe beyond a peace that surpasses understanding in a Divine Creator, GOD, that we have the ability, the strength, and the tenacious conviction to overcome any difficulties put in our path and make ourselves better while we reach out our hand and encourage, pull others to do the same. From early on, I saw right through what Obama meant when he set his course to fundamentally change America and to be totally honest, it scared me to my soul. The fact that he could sit in a church that spewed forth hate of America, specifically WHITE America, for 20 years this told me all I needed to know. It doesn't take a Ph.D, to realize if they are in a group that does not align with their beliefs they don't spend 20 years in that group. As for Racist America, I lived in the 60's and it was our generation that tore down the separatist so all people could be free and free to prosper. If America is so racist, how did Obama get elected??????? For today and our tomorrows and the tomorrows of our children, there is only one hope of America being the shining city on the hill for all that love freedom and that is to VOTE OBAMA OUT!!!!!!!!
To Itwas1951: The year I was born.
To a degree you may be right, I cannot and never will support Ron Paul due to his resounding, reinforced by consistent communication, stand on foreign policy and enclosing our country in a cocoon and letting any and all countries that depend upon us for our commitment to them and their country fall to whomever overtakes them. I agree, we need to stop invading other countries and we need to stop the political wars that have ravished other countries as well as our own. However, I will never agree that if Iran wants Nuclear Weapons we must, according to Ron Paul, just get out of the way. There is a true and living evil in this world and a to the bone hate of America and it is not because we invaded their country it is because they have hated since the day they were born. Further, Ron Paul does not have any conviction on the fact a country who is militarily weak is no big deal. Itwas1951, the only way I was born to a free America is because of the veterans of this country who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend and fight for that freedom even if it cost them their lives!!!!! That is why Ron Paul will never get my vote and although, neither party is without fault or responsibilty for the state of our country, Obama will never understand the spirit of America because he is not American by belief, birth or any other form! The American Spirit has woken and we will not be silenced.
Be Blessed For We Are Blessed.
I think there is very little hope for our Republic, considering the two candidates nominated. People need to wake up and write in Ron Paul for President. He is the only one who cannot be bought. And turn the country around from the path it has been on by the democrats and republicans for oh so many years.
The age old battle of Capitalism vs. Socialism. Obama has been the socialist's vehicle to change this great nation into a European type country where the government is the see all, know all, and do all nanny. He almost got away with it too. Fortunately Americans are finally waking up to the fact that they are Americans, not Europeans or Muslims, or any other peoples. Our Constitution is still the greatest document for freedom in the world. Only we can protect that freedom. That is the most important issue for this election and elections to come.

FORT WORTH, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Men's Tennis team completed play at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Texas Regional Championship on Sunday afternoon in the final tournament of the fall.
The Islanders picked up wins over Rice, UT Arlington and Texas – Pan American on Sunday before bowing out of the tourney.
Peter Nagy won a par of matches on the day, teaming up with Odon Barta to pick up an 8-6 final over a team from UTA in doubles to move into the quarterfinals before falling 8-5 against a team from Texas A&M.
The doubles match against Texas A&M came down to one break as the match was on serve all the way to 6-5, but the Aggies broke Nagy and then held serve to win 8-5.
"I think Odon and Peter are really emerging as a doubles team," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "That's a very strong result for such young guys. They're both incredibly focused, hard-working guys, and their hard work is paying off. I would say the same for them as for our whole team."
In singles action, Nagy won 6-0, 6-4 over Leif Berger of Rice to move into the final 16 singles players before absorbing a tough 7-6, 6-3 loss to No. 3-seeded Daniel Whitehead of Texas, his only loss of the fall season. Nagy was up 5-2 before Whitehead staged a furious rally to take the first set.
"Peter has improved so much and continues to improve every week, " said Moore. "He's had a great fall season and he represented us very well at the regionals. He got off to a great start today, but give credit to Daniel Whitehead, he made some very key adjustments and showed a lot of character to fight back from 2-5 down.
It was the fourth match of the day, as the two doubles matches and the match against Berger came prior to the match against one of the top seeds in the tournament.
"I think Peter knows he can play with anyone if his mind is focused," said Moore. "He was playing an extremely high level for the first hour of the match against Whitehead today.
"His legs were probably not quite the same after the first hour because he's played a ton of tennis the last two days, but that's no excuse. That just means we need to take our fitness to yet another level, because it's usually the other guy that gets tired first."
Other singles action saw Guillaume Rauseo fall 6-2, 6-3 against Andrew Korinek of Texas, and Barta take a 6-0, 6-3 loss against No. 6-seeded Sudanwa Sitaram, also of Texas, in the third round of the tournament.
Matt Westmoreland picked up a 6-0, 6-4 win against Alejandro Sanoja of UTPA, and a 7-5, 6-4 win over Tommy Bennett of Rice to move into the quarterfinals of the consolation bracket before withdrawing from the tournament. Pietro Jordao lost 6-1, 6-2 against Joey Swaysland of Texas, while Javier Pujol fell 6-1, 6-3 against Rob Lee of Lamar.
In the other doubles match of the day, Rauseo and Westmoreland lost a tough 8-6 battle against a pair of players from Texas, while Jordao and Andrew Maingot fell by an 8-0 final against the No. 7-seeded team from Texas A&M.
Overall the Islanders placed three men in the third round, they finished the weekend beating players from Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Rice, TCU, SMU, UTPA, UTA. It took BCS power Texas and Texas A&M to knock the Islanders out of the tournament in the main draw.
"I think every one of our guys fought as hard as they could, we just need to get back home and get back to work on certain things," said Moore. "I feel like this team is focused they can play toe-to-toe with anyone. If Peter continues to stay humble and committed to such an extreme work ethic, he has the potential for greatness as a player."
With the fall season complete, the Islanders will look to the start of the spring schedule at the end of January. The team will look to defend the Southland Conference title once again after winning it the last five years.
"We have to keep outworking people, and work extremely smart as well," said Moore. "That's the only formula for success in this league because it's just so brutally competitive.
"I think our guys are very committed to that however, this is a team with very good character, very strong culture. We had a very good fall, and we know we have a lot to work on to be ready for the spring."

Judge in Rich Paul case accused of undermining jury nullification law
�This is a case in which a dishonest judge committed perjury in the instructions, by speaking against the authority of the jurors of New Hampshire. He used the influence of office and costume to persuade uninformed jurors to sacrifice the authority of conscience and the true role of jurors. Judge Kissinger intoned once again from the robe of office to confuse and convince the intimidated jurors to obey the laws of the government. It is no surprise that completely confused jurors would scatter in disarray before the overwhelming and intimidating power of the state.�

Green Day's 'American Idiot' Musical Is Political And Personal
'It's about people becoming lost and just trying to find their way,' Billie Joe Armstrong tells MTV News.
By now, you're probably aware that Green Day's 2004 album American Idiot was a fairly, uh, political affair. And while the Broadway version of the record doesn't exactly shy away from the topic, it also reveals a side of the music that most probably never realized was there in the first place: the personal.
"I think, politically, American Idiot, when we were writing it, it was trying to make sense out of a big mess,"

Hate can be an extraordinarily powerful emotion. It can keep a man alive; it can help him to endure almost any outrage. Just the thought of one day taking revenge for a cruel injustice can keep men going indefinitely, history shows us.
The desire for revenge drives Ben-Hur, the epic tale that blends fictional characters with Biblical ones to tell a cast-of-thousands story about years of injustice and eventual redemption.
The 1880 book on which the famous 1959 blockbuster film starring Charlton Heston was originally based was the most influential Christian themed book of the 19th century. In fact Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ has never been out of print since the day it first hit the shelves.
Since 1880 Ben-Hur has outsold every book except the Bible until Gone With the Wind shattered records in 1936, but it eventually climbed back to the top spot in the 1960s.
The book tells the story of the fictional character Ben Hur, a young Jewish prince who suffers a cruel betrayal at the hand of his former friend, and it intertwines his life with the life of Jesus Christ.
Blending fact with fiction, Ben-Hur tells a dramatic and deeply Christian tale of the hard road we often have to walk to find redemption. It's exactly the kind of storyline that was certain to appeal to Derry-born actress and producer Roma Downey and her husband and producing partner Mark Burnett.
But Downey and Burnett's recent film production history demonstrates they are much more interested in themes of forgiveness rather than conflict and revenge, which makes this latest project such a tantalizing prospect. How will their sensibilities mesh with the altogether more unforgiving attitude of the book's original 19th century writer Lew Wallace, for example?
Well, it helps that we already have a case study to consult. Before they began shooting their mini series The Bible, or creating their feature film Son of God, Downey and Burnett sat down with the Anti-Defamation League's (ADL) Abe Foxman, who has publicly contrasted their life of Christ depicted in the Son of God with the much more controversial one filmed by Mel Gibson in Passion of the Christ.
Son of God was "the antidote to the poison that Passion of the Christ became," Foxman told the press. "The story of the crucifixion and the way it has been used through the centuries has never been good for the Jews.
"Having said that, Son of God is the most sensitive, caring depiction of the story of Jesus that I have ever seen. The producers have done everything possible to put the events into historical, political and psychological context."
That level of enthusiastic endorsement from the ADL deserves wider acknowledgement than it has won to date. For Christians to win the praise and commendation of a group whose mission is to protect the Jewish people from slander is an utterly remarkable achievement.
Speaking to the Irish Voice on her way to Rome for an early birthday celebration this week Downey said, "When we return we have the ADL dinner in Beverly Hilton on May 8. We have for so long admired their work in promoting tolerance, understanding, acceptance and love.
"When we were making The Bible series and our film Son of God we reached out to the ADL and Abe Foxman to help guide us to find ways to bring these important projects to the screen."
This inspired approach, whereby the two producers consulted with the very people marginalized by centuries of Christian condemnation, paid huge cross cultural dividends for Downey and Burnett, the creator of reality TV staples such as Survivor and The Apprentice.
"Gibson bloodied the Jews by portraying them as such villains," said Foxman. That was why he impressed on Downey and Burnett that he was so anxious there would not be another big budget repeat.
"We could see how in the past there had been division and hurt created by not simply taking the time to sit down together and understand concerns," Downey told the Irish Voice.
Her sensitive approach made all the difference. When Son of God was released earlier this year the ADL called it the best depiction of the story of Jesus that Foxman had ever seen or would ever see.
"We love Jesus, so this movie was very important to us and to the billions of believers worldwide, but we wanted to tell it as a story of love, God's love for all of us," Downey said.
That level of unexpected and heartfelt endorsement got the producing pair noticed in Hollywood, which is traditionally leery of big budget religious films. But the impressive view counts and ticket sales of The Bible and Son of God have made the husband and wife producing partners the most sought after consultants in the genre, which explains why MGM and Paramount welcomed them on board as producers and executive producers for the remake of Ben-Hur.

Does My Child Need a Tonsillectomy?
Tonsillectomy, the surgical removal of masses of lymphoid tissue located in the back of the mouth, may have seemed like a childhood rite of passage for many children of previous generations. Tonsillectomy became a popular treatment for recurrent sore throats and respiratory infections as early as the 1800s, and its frequency peaked in the United States in the late 1950s to the 1970s. Today, doctors are more conservative in recommending tonsillectomy.

Virulent anti-Catholicism is alive and well in modern Britain. It is particularly interesting to watch this spectacle of hatred from the neighbouring island to the west - one which has felt first-hand the depth of British hatred of Catholicism for many centuries.
There was rabid anti-Catholicism in Cromwell's massacres of thousands of innocent Irish people in the 1600s. There was anti-Catholicism in the British authorities who subjected millions of Irish to dispossession, death, disease and oppression in their own country throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.
There was anti-Catholicism in the British troops who fired over the head of my grandmother when, as 6-year-old, she hid from them in the hedgerows on her way to school. It seethed in the British soldiers who burned my home city of Cork to the ground in 1920. More recently, it lurked in the Paratroopers who shot dead 13 innocent Catholic civil rights marchers in Derry in 1972.
For a while it seemed that this old hostility had expired, but the shrieking intensity of anti-Catholic hatred in recent months has shown that it was merely resting.
Its resurgence has troubled even prominent UK-based atheists like Padraig Reidy, who recently wrote in the Observer that "Catholicism is viewed with suspicion by significant sections of the British left" and traces the present vitriol back to these ancient hatreds.
Brendan O'Neill of Spiked, says "the campaigning against [the pope's] visit has become so shrill that soon only dogs will be able to hear it. And the great irony of this allegedly rationalist protest against the pope is that it is indulging in precisely the kind of demonology that the Catholic Church once excelled at. Campaigners have turned Benedict into a Satan for secularists, an Antichrist for atheists, against whom they desperately hope to define and advertise their own moral integrity.
Indeed, I cannot think of an instance in modern European history where any nation was so convulsed by vitriolic hatred of a particular religion since the Nuremburg Rallies, which themselves have recently featured nightly on the BBC: no news item on the pope is complete without a sinister soundtrack and archive footage of goose-stepping Nazis. Yet this hatred comes not from the old establishment right. It is primarily from the left.
Much of it stems from plain cowardice: The fact is that radical Islam, not Catholicism, is the big religious problem that British society faces, but most commentators are afraid of their lives, quite literally, to speak out against its tenets; and so they treat the Catholic Church as a punch bag for their repressed hostility to Islam. This was made clear in Polly Toynbee's recent column for the Guardian where she bizarrely conflated Catholicism and Islam. Hence too Richard Dawkins' comment that Catholicism is the world's "second most evil religion."
The pope is expected to praise Britain's record of tolerance, yet as The Irish Times noted this morning: "in practice, that has been extended to Catholics only in the last century and a half."
However, The Irish Times is being far too generous with history: In Northern Ireland, a part of the UK, such prejudice and institutionalised state-sponsored discrimination continued unabated until at least the 1970s. In less formal ways, it continues to this very day throughout many parts of the UK.
A cursory glance at the British press, which would normally pride itself on its tolerance in matters ethnic, religious and racial, shows extreme intolerance of a Church which dares to contradict its secular creed. However, for all the political correctness about race, it is not at all difficult to tolerate a person with a different skin tone. The real test of tolerance comes when you meet people with different ideas. In this, the British media has utterly failed the test of its tolerance of other's views; and this failure is most pronounced on the left.
The Catholic Church's hierarchy has given plenty of good reasons to criticise it, but in Britain, many of its critics' motivations now go far beyond a fair-minded exploration of its faults, and far beyond the anger most Catholics share at the abuse cover up. They also fail distinguish between the hierarchy and the 1 billion plus people who really comprise the Church.
The real issue at stake goes to the great existential and philosophical split of our times: between those who believe in the spiritual and those who don't; and those who believe in an objective morality and those who think right and wrong are relative, negotiable and arbitrary. Let's call this latter view the "secular orthodoxy," (the eminently sensible Henry Porter of the Observer, an atheist, refers to it critically using this term.)
This morally relativistic secular orthodoxy is by far the dominant ideology in Britain and in much of its media. The pope's stated aim is to take on this moral relativism and its exponents appear to have decided that ad hominem attacks on "God's Rottweiler" are the best way forward.
There are real moral debates to be had, especially around issues of homosexuality and married priests, but at some level of their being, the people who lead the cheers for the secular orthodoxy fear that their dream of a secular utopia is doomed – perhaps because in Britain it is clear that it has already failed.
Much criticism of the Church is fair-minded and based in fact. However, some have other, more sinister agendas. Such adherents of the secular orthodoxy often frame much of their criticism of the Church along these lines: "I just love children, justice and human rights so much that I feel I simply must speak out against this nasty Church".
However, a deeper look at those who shout loudest often shows a dark hypocrisy: Peter Tatchell's recent hour-long attack on the Pope and the Church on British television was, he claimed, founded upon his concern for children. Yet he campaigns for it to be made legal for 14-year-olds to have sex with adults. Worse, in 1997, Mr. Tatchell wrote a letter to the Guardian defending an academic book about "Boy-Love" saying that the book's arguments were "courageous." He said "several of my friends - gay and straight, male and female - had sex with adults from the ages of nine to 13."

STOCKTON – The mother of a man who was shot by police Saturday night and neighbors who heard the gunfire are raising questions about authorities' claims that 20-year-old Jeremy Fleming fired a shotgun at officers before they opened fire on him.
"I know what a shotgun sounds like, and a shotgun didn't go off," said Michael Walker, who heard the shots from his living room across the street. "There were nine or 10 shots, and it all sounded like pistols. It was a low-caliber gun – not a shotgun."
Police initially said Fleming fired the shotgun at them as they approached him in the garage of a home in the 500 block of Cimarron Avenue shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday. Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department, amended earlier statements Wednesday, saying officers heard a loud noise as they entered the garage to find Fleming armed with a shotgun.
"Officers stated they heard a loud bang consistent with a shotgun being fired," Silva said. "At this point, officers believed they were being shot at and were immediately confronted by Fleming, who was behind a vehicle in the garage, pointing a shotgun at the officers."
Silva said firearm evidence found at the scene will help authorities determine whether Fleming fired his weapon. Fleming sustained multiple non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. The shooting is being reviewed as part of a standard multiagency protocol investigation.

Spring is coming may be further away for some with all the wonderful snow and ice. This was my first year duck hunting ever. my hunting partner and I decided to give it a shot and add to our time out in the field. We learned a lot about it this year and didn't do so bad. I wanna get my scouting started early this year so thought i'd start making a check list that people can add to on things to help scouting and things to look for while scouting.
-topo map
-duck ID book (one that has good plumage ID)
Things to look for:
-How close is the closest refuge? it doesn't have to be a designated refuge near me we have a quarry that was made to be a drainage escape for a development. This fall/winter it has held thousands of geese and ducks at any given time. Divers and puddle ducks alike it mostly held 5-10 species at any time during the winter. and this refuge was is less than a 10 minute driver from all our prime hunting spots.
-Check online maps: google earth or DU's migration map are great resources to find water. sometimes you have to search for little potholes and then make a trip to determine if they are seasonal or permanent potholes.
-Obtain permission from landowners who have water ways. Small creeks and ponds may hold ducks and may produce very well especially for local ducks that know the area. If landowners are not open to allowing hunting ask if you could put up some wood duck boxes on their property.
-Use a boat to scout main lakes. Depth levels are high in lakes during spring an summer so it may be easier to scout from a boat rather than taking a hike through thick fields. you will be able to cover more ground and maybe find a good place to put a blind. hard to access spots around the shores may show good cover. look for large trees that extend out into the water. these may give you room to move out on the shoreline when water level are down during the season.
those are just some plans for my spring scouting. please add ideas. again I'm green to this and it would be nice to hear others ideas.

If there's a public spot you already know about, motor (or paddle) in and see if you can't find a spot/hole that's a little bit harder to get to, but looks ducky. Google Earth has made a lot of hunters lazy, but since the map is often from times other than duck season, nothing beats physically scouting it. What looks like unhuntable water on Google Earth may be the honey hole if you can find it. From personal experience, the very best hole on my farm looks like nothing more than a tiny break in the trees when using the internet, but it's the spot I hunt 90% of the time. Nothing can beat scouting in real life, and remember; with public land, the more out of the way, the better.
"Old school hunters used to say...if you can't land 'em on the water, you're not a duck hunter."

Election is april 2
Qualifying Opens for Mulberry Election
Published: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 7:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 7:00 a.m.
MULBERRY | Qualifying opened Monday for Mulberry's municipal election, to be held April 2, and each of the three incumbent candidates picked up qualifying packets to seek re-election.
Terry Evers, 68, said he plans to seek a fourth term for Seat 4, representing the city's east side, and Mayor George Hatch is seeking a second term. Andy Scrocca, 84, who was elected in 2009 to Seat 2, representing the Angler's Green community on the city's north side, said he's considering another two-year term. Prior to his current service, Scrocca was on the commission from 1989 to 2001.
Evers, 68, first won election to the City Commission in 2007. Seat 4 represents east Mulberry.
Candidates seeking election to Seats 2 or 4 must have lived in the district that seat represents for the last six months.
Hatch, 62, was elected mayor in 2011 and holds an at-large seat on the commission.
Candidates must complete a petition bearing the signatures of 25 registered voters in Mulberry, and must pay a qualifying fee of about $55 for commission candidates and about $75 for the mayor's post.
Qualifying closes at noon Friday.
Mulberry's governing board includes five commissioners and a mayor, who conducts the meetings and only votes in the case of a tie. Commissioners are paid $287 a month for their service, while the mayor is paid $430 monthly.

Mellel is one of the leading word processors for Mac OS X, with a special focus on scholars, writers, technical writing and multilingual word processing
Required OS: 10.4
Tags: multilingual , word , wordprocessor , text , texteditor
10 Opinions
Excellent text processor. As others say, the styles require some getting used to. For the rest, it's easy, stable and snappy. And the price!
I use this for some pretty heaviweight documents, and am well pleased with it.
The styles are hard, but you know no one since Framemaker has done a good job at this. Once you set them up you donât have to worry. The typographic and structured document features are superb.
I use this with Spellcatcher, Bookends and MathMagic. My only feature wish is anchored graphics.
I used Word in Windows but for the mac microsoft did not deliver so I started a search for a word processor that could handle my demand.
When I found Mellel my search was finally over and I am loving it.
Very fast and solid word processor. Has many unique typographic features.
But for styles the learning curve is really, really steep. Somewhere around version 2.1 Mellel's concepts for managing styles grew over my head. I love structured documents and I appreciate typographic details. I have typeset whole books in Word and LaTeX. I love styles and auto-numbering of any kind. But in Mellel I just don't get it anymore. Why are "title flows" not part of "style sets"? What's the benefit of "style variations"? Flexibility is great, but Mellel (as of version 2.2.7) its too much.
For shorter structured documents I went back to a more Word-like application OpenOffice (actuallly NeoOffice). For lists I use OmniOutliner. And for really complex documents with extensive numberings and high typographic standards I rather invest the learning time in TeX (with TeXShop as frontend). For visually rich documents I prefer sitll otther apps. That leaves Mellel ... where?
In my opinion, Mellel needs some major cleaning up of the user interface. I bought Mellel because it was fast and simple for basic tasks. I still love Mellel for all the power under its hood. But I think the way Mellel organizes styles and manipulates styles should be more centralized.
My wishlist: strictly separate manual formatting from application of styles from manipulation of styles. For a simple letter I want only manual formatting or choose form exisitng(!) styles defined in my letter template. In complex documents styles shouldn't be tweaked on the fly either, they need some serious planning. So I'd love to see a centralized user interface for all style management features (the "styles sets" dialog is 85% there) and remove(!) style editing from the palettes. That should do the trick. Easier manual formatting and easier style management.
In the current incarnation I wouldn't recommend Mellel to anyone, unless you need left-to-right script and support for middle-eastern languages.
I have been using Mellel for the past 3 years - best app available for RTL (Hebrew) integration with English. I really like the implementation of styles, much more intuitive than Word. Mellel is an excellent program
Great app, a bit of a learning curve and somewhat difficult to go back and forth with Word docs/rtf (while keeping formatting), but worth it to avoid the headaches of actually using Word. Nicely integrated with Bookends.
Much more mac than Word. Has a great feel to it and is easy to use. I own a copy of Microsoft Word too, but prefer to use Mellel. The Styles are much more intuitive. If someone requests a .doc file I just export it to that format.
I don't use Word at all anymore. All of my papers for the past year were written with this and Bookends.
Great word processor; fantastic multilingual capabilities--far ahead of any competition. Works reasonably well with Word docs. New versions are released like clock-work. Highly recommended.

In the Sept 13 NEWS article titled "Tell City employees to see 25-cent pay raises", imbedded in the middle is a sub topic, "Council Endorses TCHS Improvements". Reference is made to a website supporting the referendum, www.tcjshs.org. I reviewed the site. It has one purpose, to get the tax referendum passed in the November election. Concerned about who was supporting the site, I talked to the asst. school superintendent, Laura Noble. She clearly stated the school was not behind it, nor was it being funded by school funds. She did not know who was behind the site, but referred me to Larry Bryant, board president. I called Larry and was told that he knew who was behind it, but they did not want their names revealed. Interesting, isn't it? The "tax and spend" group are well organized and intend to push this referendum to victory. They don't have the courage of their convictions, but hide behind an anonymous website. Let's call the cowards out!
Ever article I write has my name attached. There are many taxpayers(including myself) that are strongly opposed to the referendum and continued spending on the old high school. Also, buried in the Sept 13 article is a plan to build a Jr. High gym. Can you emagine the gall it takes to push these programs given the present economic conditions! Worst depression in our lifetime, unemployent near 10 percent, housing market sorely depressed. There is little if any good economic news, yet these "tax and spend" do-gooders want to circumvent the property tax cap and raise your taxes anyway.
Could this secertive group be local politicans? Community big shots? Some contractor?
Well, if we don't support the schools what else do we got left? We need more solidarity in this especially in these times. I am thinking to start a public administration career, obviously there is so much to be done in this area.
I doubt that they had any success with the new school tax referendum, the idea and the plan were wrong from the beginning. I guess I should feel lucky that I got my healthcare administration degree now, God know what other taxes could have emerged from nowhere. This is not how things should go!
The pro-referendum people are doing their best to push their agenda to victory, including stealing my "Vote No on the Referendum" signs.
Childish behavior! Shame on the kiddies!
Don Swaney authored these entries, but they have somehow been switched to suggest his wife, Ann Carter Swaney, wrote them. Our technical experts at our company headquarters are looking into the problem, and we hope to have it fixed soon.
--Kevin Koelling, Managing Editor
Just for the record, The News reported in September and October 2008 that committee members working to identify and prioritize construction needs felt that a new gym would be necessary "to accommodate the increased number of students" caused by the junior high's closure.
Larry Bryant(pres. of school board) states it is his site and did not say if anyone else is involved.

What Eric Cantor's Defeat Means for the White House
Updated with White House comment Wednesday.
President Barack Obama has come to expect little cooperation from congressional Republicans on his agenda, but the defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor on Tuesday further diminishes hopes in the White House of any legislative victories – big or small – over the next two years.
Immigration reform is seen as the most obvious casualty of Mr. Cantor's loss. Mr. Obama is now even more likely to take executive action to address the issue. He has held off, for instance, on an executive order to curtail deportations to see if Congress might advance broader reform this summer.

Perhaps more troublesome for Mr. Obama is the renewed prospect of wholesale resistance from congressional Republicans on basic elements of governing. After a series of bitter fights since Mr. Obama took office in 2009, Democrats and Republicans had begun to cooperate somewhat on issues, including the federal budget. Mr. Cantor, while no White House ally — he and Mr. Obama had an antagonistic relationship — was part of that effort. His defeat could make GOP lawmakers less inclined to cut deals with Mr. Obama.
Even Republican lawmakers are worried about a return to the kind of gridlock that led to a government shutdown and risky standoffs over raising the debt limit.
"My concern is that a lot of things are going to be dead and pushed aside," Rep. Peter King (R., N.Y.) said Wednesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"Thank God there is no debt-ceiling vote coming up. Thank God there's not an opportunity to shut the government down in the next several months because I think we could get bogged down in those types of issues," Mr. King said.
White House officials were stunned Tuesday night as the returns in Mr. Cantor's primary fight came in. They said the Virginia Republican's loss to David Brat, a tea party favorite, appeared to reflect more than voters' concerns about immigration reform since Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), who supports an overhaul, survived his primary challenge Tuesday.
Still, the West Wing is closely scrutinizing the loss and what it may mean for Mr. Obama's efforts to govern for the remainder of his term.
On Wednesday, the White House sought to cast the defeat of Mr. Cantor as an indictment of broad GOP opposition to Mr. Obama's agenda.
"This outcome does provide some evidence to indicate that the strategy of opposing nearly everything and supporting hardly anything is not just a bad governing strategy, it is not a very good political strategy either," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday.
Mr. Earnest also challenged the notion that Mr. Cantor's re-election would have created an easier path for immigration reform.
"Majority Leader Cantor campaigned very aggressively against common sense, bipartisan immigration reform but yet in the analysis there are some who suggest that his election was a key to getting immigration reform done," he said. "I am not quite sure how people have reached that conclusion."

For centuries, princesses have been well-known for having many positive attributes. Here we share some tips for all ages about how to be a beary kind modern-day princess. Please keep in mind, these are just ideas, and all children should work with their parents or an adult they trust to find ways to help their community.
1. Be kind. Princesses show kindness to every person they meet. Be sure to use the magic words 'please' and 'thank you'- each time you ask for something or are given something. Even if you didn't ask for it, it shows your inner princess when you show appreciation for receiving a gift, however small it may be.
2. Have good manners. Princesses are always polite. Just as you would say 'please' and 'thank you', remember to keep your elbows off the table when you are eating and don't play with your food. Setting a good example for those around you is always a good thing!
3. Be a good listener. Try your best not to interrupt others when they are speaking or telling a story. Princesses become beary smart because they learn a lot from other people by listening. If you think you are going to forget something beary important that you want to share with someone who is speaking, quickly jot it down on a notepad. Then, you can share it when the other person is finished. They will be grateful that you gave them your full attention.
4. Be charitable. Princesses are very giving. Even if you think you don't have a lot to give, it doesn't take much to help someone out. Clean out your closet and donate anything you haven't worn in a long time. Or, find out what kind of items your local food bank is looking for, either from a church, scouting or neighborhood group, and set up a collection from your friends and family. Ask members of the community how you can help their organization or even just write some thank you notes to people you love, like friends and family, just for being there for you! A little giving can go a long way.
5. Be confident. Remember that if you say you can, you can. Try not to use the word 'can't.' If you put your mind to it, there is always a way to get it done. Know that you are strong and beautiful on the inside and out. Don't let others tell you that you aren't good at something or that you won't be able to accomplish something difficult. Instead, tell them you can do it, and then extend a hand of friendship to see if they'd like to help. Most of the time, people who put others down just feel lonely, so try including them in the task. Who knows, you might make a new friend!
6. Smile! If there is one thing princesses are good at, it's spreading happiness throughout the land. Not only do smiles use fewer muscles, which should make them easier to wear than a frown, they are also contagious, in a good way. When you see someone else smile, it is beary hard to keep yourself from smiling as well. Why not try being someone else's beacon of happiness? You never know how many people you could help just by spreading smiles to everyone you encounter.
What other ways can you think of to be a modern-day princess? Are there any princess qualities we left out?

pontoon 1
1A flat-bottomed boat or hollow metal cylinder used with others to support a temporary bridge or floating landing stage.
Example sentences

- During a 30-hour river closure, winch wires were being secured to both banks of the river and used to tow the floating pontoon on which the bridge rested.
- Floating pontoons, with their massing and design, 'cannot contribute in the same way and constitute an intrusive feature in such a sensitive location'.
1.1A bridge or landing stage supported by pontoons.
Example sentences
- If true, this could persuade the EU to pay for a Hungarian operation to lift the wreckage - and possibly for a high-level bridge to replace the Novi Sad pontoon.
- We trundled off, hiked up a steep incline of jagged coral, past poisonous trees and cat-sized frogs, and ended up at an unprepossessing wooden pontoon at the edge of a vast lake.
- He sets up a typewriter on a rickety wooden pontoon and moodily bashes away, staring out over the lake.
1.2A large flat-bottomed barge or lighter equipped with cranes.
Example sentences
- The Port Service's crane toppled as the Able Seaman was lifting a steel workbench from the tray of a semi-trailer on to a pontoon being used for maintenance work on the sail training ship Young Endeavour.
- As this edition of Navy News was going to press a number of pontoons and moorings were being secured to the seabed around the warship.
- Aqis spokeswoman Jen O'Reilly said the consignment also included a tug, pontoons, cranes, forklift and anchor.
1.3Either of the floats fitted to an aircraft to enable it to land on water.
Example sentences
- Up to that point, the aircraft flew with pontoons for water landings, but those were replaced by wheels for the flight across the Asian subcontinent and thence to France and the United Kingdom.
- With drag from pontoons and floats removed, the OS2Us had greater speed and could carry heavier loads of bombs.

Any new year can start with an old question: What will Phil Mickelson do next?
He's already thrown a changeup into his schedule -- starting his year in a different desert when he tees it up this week in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship instead of the Humana Challenge.
He'll return to San Diego for the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines and likely skip the Match Play Championship again. The curveball is Mickelson's intention of skipping Riviera to play the Honda Classic.
He last played the Honda Classic in 2002 when it was at TPC Heron Bay. It now is at PGA National, a typical Florida resort course. He's played Riviera the past seven years, with two wins and two playoff losses.
What really excites Mickelson is a new driver Callaway Golf made for him.
Mickelson was at his best with a 3-wood -- think back to the 17th at Muirfield, two key shots that led to a British Open win. He says Callaway has used the same technology in that 3-wood and used it for a driver.
"That lowers the spin rate and allows me to drive it much more penetratingly through the air, a lot straighter and I've never driven it this well," he said Tuesday in Abu Dhabi. "That's why I'm so excited about this year. If I can take that weakness and turn it into a strength, the other areas of my game have been as good as they've ever been. I'm excited about 2014."
The tournament has done away with the celebrity portion of the pro-am field, though actor Craig T. Nelson, singer Michael Bolton, Arizona Cardinals kicker Jay Feely and Golf Channel's Holly Sonders are playing as "special guests."
The pro-am players paid from $25,000 to $29,000 to play alongside the pros for the first three days of the event, and six of them will advance to the final round. By eliminating the roughly 20 slots given to celebrities, the event generated more than $500,000.
The regular field also is thin on star power, with Kapalua winner Zach Johnson the top-ranked player at No. 6. Brandt Snedeker, Webb Simpson and Keegan Bradley are the only other top-30 players.
"I'm the only guy in the field that has two replaced body parts, a new knee and a new hip," Jacobsen said. "So if you guys can work me in a separate category, I might have a chance to win that category. I'm looking at 60 here in March and, for an old chubby guy, I feel like I still got something going."

On March 26, the Eagle County Sheriff's Office was contacted by a Bureau of Animal Protection Agent for the Eagle Valley Humane Society. The agent received information regarding a deceased puppy that appears to be the victim of animal cruelty.
The puppy was found on Forest Service Road 8380, in the Spring Creek area, unincorporated Eagle County, South of the Eagle County Regional Airport in Gypsum. The puppy was between 3 and 6 months of age at the time of death.
If you think you may have any information about the suspects or this crime, please call the Eagle County Sheriff's Office at (970) 328-8500 or Eagle County Crime Stoppers at (970) 328-7007, 1-800-972-TIPS, submit your tip online at www.tipsubmit.com, or text a tip from your cell phone by texting STOPCRIME plus your message to CRIMES (274637). If your tip leads to the arrest and indictment of any suspect involved, you could earn up to a $1,000 reward from the Crime Stoppers.
On March 4, deputies contacted a suspected drunk driver in front of an Edwards movie theater.
The 22-year-old man was sitting in his car eating popcorn and smelled of alcohol. The man initially denied drinking and then said he'd been drinking all day.
Deputies asked him to perform voluntary roadside maneuvers, which he didn't complete to their satisfaction. The man was arrested for further investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol and he submitted to a blood test. He was cited for DUI and released to his parents.
A deputy was patrolling a business alley in Avon when he saw a suspicious man.
Most of the businesses in the area were closed and the man started walking away when he saw the officer. The deputy ordered the 27-year-old man to come to him. The man said, "No, I didn't do anything wrong," and started jogging away. The deputy ordered him to stop for questioning several more times and eventually chased the man down.
The man resisted arrest, writhing away from the deputy, even after being taken to the ground. A second deputy arrived and threatened the man with a Taser to get him in handcuffs. Even then, the man lunged at the deputies and was once more "escorted to the ground."
The man had a couple scratches on his face but was otherwise OK. He was cited for obstructing a peace officer and resisting arrest.
A deputy was on patrol along Frying Pan Road in southern Eagle County on March 13 when he saw a parked SUV nearby with all its lights off. Several flashes appeared to come from within the car.
A short time later, the SUV started driving with its brights on. The officer followed and pulled it over after it failed to dim its lights for oncoming traffic.
The car smelled of marijuana when the deputy contacted the 20-year-old driver and 22-year-old passenger. The two admitted they had marijuana and paraphernalia in the car and turned it over to the officer.
The driver was cited for driving under the influence of drugs, failing to dim headlights for oncoming traffic and possession of less than an ounce of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. The passenger was turned over to Basalt Police while the driver submitted to sobriety tests.
A deputy saw a car weaving across a double-yellow center line on U.S. Highway 6 in Avon on March 17 and contacted the driver.
A 19-year-old woman rolled down the driver's side window and identified herself with her older brother's name and birth date. She said she left her license at work and the car wreaked of alcohol.
After the woman failed voluntary roadside sobriety tests, she was arrested for further investigation of DUI. She sobbed in the patrol car, begging the deputy to let her go because she wasn't the type of girl to get in trouble.
Officers discovered her real identity at the Avon Police Department. They asked her why she lied and she said she didn't want to get in trouble - this was her second DUI.
She was cited for DUI and weaving.
On March 18, a deputy stopped a car for speeding on Avon Road.
The 27-year-old driver smelled of alcohol and failed voluntary sobriety tests. She was arrested for further investigation of DUI and chose a breath test.
Her driver's license was revoked and she was jailed for DUI and speeding.
A 44-year-old Beaver Creek ski school supervisor was cited for harassment after an altercation with a 32-year-old employee in his office on March 18.
The employee told deputies he had arranged to borrow his supervisor's snowboard sometimes. He knew his boss would be out that day and figured it would be OK to borrow the snowboard then, which was in the supervisor's office. He said his boss called him into the office a short time later and demanded to have his snowboard back.
The 32-year-old's bindings were on the board and the 44-year-old started taking them off in a hurry. He threw the bindings at the 32-year-old and then a screwdriver as well.
The 32-year-old was hit in the chest and was OK because he was wearing a jacket. He told deputies he wanted to press charges, however.
No one witnessed the incident. The supervisor told officers that he set the bindings on a bench and only tossed the screwdriver to the employee but didn't see if he caught it.
Beaver Creek Public Safety contacted the Eagle County Sheriff's Office on March 19 and said a suspect for a snowboard theft that was reported on March 12 had been identified.
The man who owned the snowboard had his name engraved on it by the serial number and reported the theft on the same day it went missing from a ski rack.
On March 18, a friend of the snowboard's rightful owner saw a man getting on the bus with it. He asked the man where he got it and the man said he bought it from a guy for $100.
On March 19, another friend of the victim saw the board and followed the suspect to an apartment in Avon. He asked the man for his name. The man told him and said he worked at Mid-Vail.
That same day, Beaver Creek Public Safety found video surveillance of the theft in question. A man in black ski pants and a black jacket with a blue backpack walked up to a ski rack carrying a snowboard. He picked up another snowboard and walked off with both boards. BCPS also searched the ski pass data base for the man's name and workplace, and found a suspect matching the description. The victim's friend said that was the guy.
Officers contacted the 34-year-old suspect at his apartment. The man showed them the snowboard and said he bought it for $100. They asked him what he usually wears snowboarding and he said black pants and jacket. A blue backpack was also seen in his apartment.
The suspect denied stealing the board until the deputies showed him the surveillance footage and then he said it was him. He was cited for theft.
The man who owned the snowboard said it was worth $910.
An ATV rider discovered a smoldering log inside a large culvert under Interstate 70 in Gypsum on March 24.
A deputy responded and found cans of spray paint matching colors of graffiti in the area in addition to the burning log, which had a partially melted bottle of lighter fluid on top of it.
The Gypsum Fire Protection District extinguished the log.
A deputy stopped a car in Gypsum on March 24 for having illegally tinted windows.
The 25-year-old driver identified himself by a fake name and did not have any wallet or identification. Eventually the officer got in touch with the owner of the vehicle, who identified the 25-year-old.
It turned out that the 25-year-old's license had been revoked for an alcohol offense. He was arrested for criminal impersonation and driving without a license, and warned for the windows being tinted too dark.
A 55-year-old man said his wheelchair was stolen from the Catamount Bridge Campground on March 25. It was a black and gray dual-drive Permobile C500 worth about $26,000.
On March 26, a Holy Cross Electric employee reported that a transformer on Red Hill in Gypsum had been shot with what looked to be a .45-caliber gun. He said it was lucky the transformer was on a de-energized line, because if it was live it would have started a fire. A new transformer is estimated to cost $875.
A man flying out of Eagle County Regional Airport on March 26 reported that a laptop worth $4,000 was stolen from a checked bag.
He discovered the computer was missing when he got home. Also inside his suitcase was a card from the Transportation Security Administration stating the bag had been routinely searched.
A deputy was driving on U.S. Highway 6 in Eagle-Vail when a car going the other way failed to dim its high beams.
The officer turned around and followed the car. He observed that the vehicle's license plate lamp was defective and watched the car weave across a fog line. He stopped the car as it entered an apartment complex.
The deputy immediately smelled marijuana when he contacted the 19-year-old driver. The deputy asked the man if he had anything in the car he shouldn't and the man handed over a pipe and baggie of marijuana.
The man was cited for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving under the influence of drugs and failing to drive in a single lane. He was warned for failing to dim his headlights to oncoming traffic and for the defective license plate lamp, and released to his sober girlfriend.
A woman reported that a pair of gold earrings worth $100 was stolen while she was at a Beaver Creek restaurant on March 28.
She said she set a box containing the earrings on a chair, got up to talk to a friend nearby, and the box was gone when she returned. Other diners said they saw a man pick up the box and walk away.

I had a problem with my Sidi Ergo shoes. It's not that they're just too bling (no empirical evidence suggests that such a state exists). No, rather the cleats keep working themselves loose on the smooth carbon sole. Most irritating. A lot of carbon shoes nowadays have a high-friction surface in the cleat area to combat this problem, but if your shoes lack this, then I'll show you how to solve this.

The Normanator took command of our trusty old Saladmaster machine and after we had peeled a monster zuke, he chopped a batch …
And froze half a dozen bags:
This is not a glamor job nor is it brain surgery but it is wonderful to have this in our freezer!
SIDEBAR: You don't need a fancy, high priced machine to chop these babies! If you have a food processor, that will work. If you have a box grater, that's good for this project. Help your children learn safe methods for peeling the veg, if you feel that's appropriate, and the older youngsters can CAREFULLY use the box grater with adult supervision. END SIDEBAR.
Zucchini can be used in so many ways and they all save money!
*Who does not love great ways of S T R E T C H I N G their food dollars?
We love to add it to stir fry dishes, fresh veggie salads, and for stretching leftover stews or soups. My favorite use of zucchini, though, is to peel and chop it to cook with potatoes. When you mash potatoes that have been in the 'hot tub' with zucchini, NO ONE will ever know those guys were there! Add a bit of butter and milk to the mashed beauties and it will look and taste 100% like "smashed" taters! Another idea: Add some grated zukes to your spaghetti sauce!
Another great use of zukes is to wash and cut the smaller to medium sized ones in half, LENGTHWISE. Scoop out the seeds, leaving a hollow and place them on a greased baking sheet. You can fill that little opening with pieces of onion, celery, carrot and drizzle a bit of cooking oil over each little "boat". Season them with salt and pepper and garlic, if you have some. Slide them into a 375* oven until the veg is tender. When they come out of the oven you can sprinkle a bit of cheese over the tops and let that melt. That's really a meal in itself. Add a few biscuits; serve fruit for dessert and you have a delicious, tummy pleasing menu for those you love best!
For those of you who may be new here, this little corner of the internet is dedicated to those who depend on public assistance for their food dollars. If you hold an EBT card for SNAP or WIC; if you get goods from a food pantry or use food commodities, we want you to know that we support you in the best way we know how. We help you cook with the goods you might have on hand.
And to those of you who might be contributors to your local food pantry, might we suggest you pick up a spice or two for your next donation? You might even consider getting a salt/pepper set to take to your local caring cupboard. Word is that these items are often overlooked by donors and funds are so tight that there is no room in the food budget for such "luxuries"….it's something to consider.
Are you living on a dime? If so, you no doubt have picked up a tip or two you might like to share with the other Members. There is a modest series of cooking tips that you will receive if you join our numbers. We think those of you in the trenches might teach Mother Connie a thing or two, along with some of the other Members! wink/wink *Don't be shy; send YOUR tips and tricks to firstname.lastname@example.com.
So enjoy the bounty of all those zucchinis and do remember you are loved and appreciated.

The primary objectives of research supported by the Malawi ICEMR are to identify, understand, and evaluate interventions that target the determinants of malaria disease. Researchers will accomplish these objectives by systematically surveying populations of vectors, hosts, and parasites using newly developed molecular and genomic tools in conjunction with well-established epidemiologic approaches.
By identifying the contributions made by the parasite, the human host, and the mosquito vector to the incidence and prevalence of malaria disease in diverse eco-geographic settings in Malawi, the Center research team hopes to tailor prevention and control strategies to specific seasons (such as dry versus rainy climates) and locales (highland and lowland, urban and rural). The team will also determine the critical parameters required for monitoring the impact of such strategies.
