D&E to offer free aid for assistance
Anyone planning to go to college knows they should complete the free application for Federal Student Aid, also known as the FAFSA. But for many, filling out a government form can be downright daunting.
Fortunately, area residents can get free help filling out and submitting the FAFSA during College Goal Sunday at Davis & Elkins College on Feb. 10 anytime between 1 to 4 p.m. in the Eshleman Science Center.
Students who plan to attend a two-year or four-year college in the next 12 months can attend the College Goal Sunday workshop. It is open to everyone, regardless of age or income. High school seniors, current college students, and adults who want to go to college can attend.
Experts will be available to assist students and families during the event. Students who attend will be entered to win an Apple iPad and other items donated by community supporters.
In order to complete the FAFSA at a College Goal Sunday workshop, attendees must bring several documents, including current federal tax records.
If current tax records are not available, please bring the previous year's records. Please note, you will have to edit your FAFSA again later if using information from the previous year.
Supporting materials include:
– Student's driver's license
– Student's Social Security number
– Parents' (or guardians') Social Security number
– Current tax records, including W-2 forms and filed tax returns for student, parents/guardians and spouse (if you are married)
– Student's current untaxed income records, including child support, worker's compensation and untaxed portions of pensions and any other untaxed income
– Information about investments and bank account balances
– Student's alien registration or permanent resident card (if you are not a U.S. citizen)
Local financial aid professionals will be on hand to offer free one-on-one, confidential support.
The volunteers at College Goal Sunday workshops will not share or misuse your personal information.
Your FAFSA will be submitted through a network secured by the federal government.
College Goal Sunday is coordinated by the College Foundation of West Virginia with funding and support from the Lumina Foundation for Education and USA Funds, the West Virginia Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, GEAR UP and TRiO.
For more information, contact D&E Site Coordinator, Carol Suder-Howes, Director of the Davis & Elkins College Upward Bound program, (304) 637-1989 or email@example.com.

Freedom Newspapers
He was spiritual, religious, charismatic, prayerful, full of grace, kind and gentle. He was gentile and unflinchingly firm in espousing his principles. He was a prince of peace and a man of forgiveness. He was an athlete and a victim and survivor of violence. He was a Pole, an unflinching foe of wars and Godless governments and, for 26 years, pope to the world's Catholics. He was imperfect and ever striving toward his God's vision of perfection.
He will be a hard act to follow.
In 84 years, John Paul II earned and displayed all those attributes, achievements and qualities until he died peacefully eight days ago.
And yet he was so much more.
This common man became an uncommon leader because he fearlessly, naturally exhibited one other vital quality for all the world to see: his humanity.
More than any other trait, it is that one that created the foundation for the past week's amazing scenes in Vatican City. Like many, we have been astounded as we saw the endless masses of Catholics, non-Catholics and non-believers alike pour out their love, joy and sadness. For three days, their unfettered emotions illuminated our TVs as an estimated 2 million people paraded in a reverent line, for some up to 14 hours, to spend a few seconds offering thanks and praying as they glimpsed John Paul II's time-worn body one last time as it lay in state.
Here and elsewhere around Earth, millions more faces have been adorned with the same look of humbled awe at this king of humanity. To be human is to be fallible, or imperfect, more than it is to be a king, of course. What this pope taught us was that the path to infallibility is carved not by kings and not by superhumans, but by mere mortals performing everyday acts that show our love and caring for each other.
Most certainly, John Paul II upset many with some of his beliefs that seemed at times saddled in yesterday's logic. The most obvious was his unfathomable inability or unwillingness to come down harder on Catholic priests who either abused children or protected the abusers from receiving justice for their crimes against humanity.
Despite such flaws, last week's display showed us that when the last breath left this pope his spirit surely ascended his hand-carved path to the heavens. His humanity paved the way and by letting us see him for who he was, John Paul II allowed millions of people to see themselves reflected in his serene face, fixed resolutely on his God who is infallible.
That's why the crowds were overwhelming and church people and those unchurched have sung his praises to the heavens. If a simple priest from Poland can create the legendary mantle of John Paul II, men and women and children everywhere know that the path we take isn't about being born perfect in order to be perfect. It is achieved when we are willing to bear the weight of caring for others who are struggling.

- Effects of the spray angle on splat morphology during thermal spraying
- Author(s)
- Montavon, Ghislain; Sampath, Sanjay; Berndt, C. C.; Herman, Herbert; Coddet, Christian
- Abstract
- The effects of spray angle on the morphology of thermally sprayed particles impinging on polished substrates have been studied by implementing several statistical tools (i.e., Gaussian analysis, Weibull distribution and the t-test). Nickel-based alloy (Astroloy) particles were vacuum plasma-sprayed onto copper plates at normal (i.e., 90 °) and several off-normal spray angles (i.e., 75, 60, 45 and 30 °). Different geometric shape factors (i.e., referring to an equivalent diameter, elongation factor and degree of splashing) were determined using image analysis. The spray angle had a strong effect on these geometric properties, in particular on the elongation factor of the shapes.

Iowa officials find more invasive zebra mussels
Officials say an aquatic invasive species may be establishing in a popular northwest Iowa chain of lakes.
The state Department of Natural Resources says three additional juvenile zebra mussels were found in December attached to docks and boat hoists removed from East Okoboji Lake.
The agency is monitoring the Iowa Great Lakes after finding a single zebra mussel in Upper Gar Lake in September.
A DNR spokesman says it's too early to tell if the zebra mussels are reproducing in the lakes. Officials also say it's unclear what an infestation would do to the area.
Zebra mussels are filter feeders. They directly compete with native species, including mussels and small fish.
The agency says there is no treatment to eradicate or control the mussels once they infest a lake.

Phoenix is an exciting
Southwestern city that serves as an oasis in the desert of Arizona. In summer you can enjoy the
untamed surroundings-bask in the sun during the day, and enjoy all the great restaurants,
nightlife and, of course, air conditioning in the evenings. It is a great place to enjoy miles of
biking and hiking trails or just to experience the great outdoors in general. In the winter,
Phoenix can also be an ideal escape with reasonable airfare and other travel deals, sunny weather,
and lots to do for a weekend getaway or extended vacation.
If renting a bike or taking a hike
isn't your cup of tea, a hot air balloon ride over the Arizona landscape is a leisurely yet
exhilarating way to enjoy Phoenix's great outdoors. And when you're finished exploring the
beautiful landscape, you can always come back into town and experience some of the unique culture
Phoenix has to offer. The Heard Museum has an extensive collection of Native American art. Another
interesting site is the Pioneer Arizona Living History Museum, which has staff members dressed in
period costumes teaching visitors about pioneer life in an open-air museum. Phoenix is also home
to the Wells Fargo Museum that features numerous displays explaining the history of this
stagecoach company.
Golfers are in heaven when they visit Phoenix, as the city offers a
large selection of lush green fairways that create a marked contrast with the surrounding arid
environment. There are eight public golf courses offering beautiful views and optimum playing
conditions at affordable rates. Or if you want to get a closer look at the plants that are
indigenous to the region, you could always take a trip to the Desert Botanical Garden where
you'll find 20,000 different varieties of desert foliage.
Phoenix offers a wide array of
shopping opportunities as well. Biltmore Fashion Park promises marvelous outdoor shopping.
Shoppers should also check out Kierland Commons, peruse the boutiques in downtown Phoenix, or find
some hidden gems in 7th Avenue's vintage home and garden shops.
When the
desert sun gives way to evening, you'll probably want to get a bite to eat. Pizzeria Bianco in
downtown Phoenix offers fire-roasted artisan pizzas in the setting of a charming brick building
that includes a full bar. There are a number of hot new restaurants on the scene as well,
including Southwestern restaurants like the all-natural Quiessence just outside of Phoenix or the
classic Sierra Bonita Grill named after the historic Sierra Bonita Ranch. Some of the trendier
offerings include AZ88, Olive & Ivy and True Food. Or if you're looking for fine dining,
Durant's and The Wrigley Mansion will satisfy your taste for the finer things.
If you're
looking for nightlife, Phoenix will not disappoint. Many late-night partiers head out to the bars
and clubs in Scottsdale, but Central Phoenix has plenty of its own hot spots. Merc Bar is a dimly
lit, swanky lounge that is a great place to enjoy mellow drinks and conversation in style. Postino
Wine Café offers a beautiful indoor and outdoor space that is perfect for enjoying fresh
light fares on summer nights. Another indoor and outdoor bar is The Vig, which offers bocce ball,
live bands and fire pits.
No matter where you choose to explore, you're sure to find a
comfortable, convenient, and affordable hotel at any of our Extended Stay America locations in

In-Dash Navigation AV Receiver with 6.1" WVGA Touchscreen Display
- Apple CarPlay™ (iPhone 5 or later, firmware update required)
- AppRadio® Mode Functionality for iPhone®
- MirrorLink™ Compatible
- Siri® Eyes Free Compatible
Suggested Price: $750.00
Introducing NEX, the Networked Entertainment eXperience, the next generation of network connected in-vehicle receivers, combining on-board embedded features with cloud-based connected services.
More advanced than ever before, NEX features a responsive, powerful and intuitive touchscreen user interface that is easy to use and highly customizable. iPhone 4s or newer users can even control NEX and their smartphones using Siri Eyes Free mode. Clearly, NEX is designed specifically for today's smartphone and tablet-driven lifestyle.
NEX provides nationwide mapping and turn-by-turn directions with 7.9 million points-of-interest (POIs) for destination such as restaurants, gas stations and ATMs.
NEX is compatible with iOS, Android™ or MirrorLink® smartphones for a truly connected experience. In addition to playing numerous sources and file formats, Pioneer's AppRadio® Mode allows you to bring many of your favorite apps right into the dashboard.
All NEX models feature built-in Bluetooth® that enables both hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming. Including the latest Hands-Free Profile (HFP 1.6) with wideband speech capability, NEX provides more natural sound quality and details during wireless calls. When streaming music, NEX even let's you browse and select the media stored on your smartphone using the AVRCP 1.4 profile, a first for a Pioneer in-dash receiver.
|POWER OF SIRI® Eyes Free
Users of an iPhone 4s or newer device can take advantage of Siri Eyes Free functionality. With a simple touch of the NEX touchscreen, Siri starts listening through the NEX unit's external microphone and answers your questions and requests over the vehicle's speakers, helping you keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.
Your love of high-res audio does not need to stop at the front door. Now for the first time in an aftermarket car stereo, you can enjoy FLAC files in your vehicle without the need to convert. Pioneer's NEX in-dash receivers are the first in the industry to offer playback of files encoded as high-res FLAC up to 192kHz/24 bit and provide playback output at CD quality. With Pioneer, your high-res FLAC is no longer confined to your home hi-fi system – put your music on the move.
Expanding on Pioneer's philosophy to enable consumers stay connected, MirrorLink opens the door to more smartphones that feature MirrorLink technology. MirrorLink gives you a custom interface so you can access your music, map services and your phone to make calls on-the-go, hands-free of course.
Keep The Party Going!
Keep the party going with MIXTRAX®, an innovative Pioneer technology that creates a nonstop mix of your music library complete with a range of DJ-inspired effects. Drawing from Pioneer's rich DJ heritage and our passion for music, MIXTRAX delivers a unique DJ infused listening experience to those in the car. MIXTRAX takes the music from an iPhone, iPod, USB device, or certain Android devices and plays it back with added transitions and effects, creating a virtual DJ inside the Pioneer receiver.
MIXTRAX makes automatic remixing of tracks extra-quick and easy. Simply connect your USB compatible device and listen as tracks are joined by various random sound effects in non-stop-mix play to keep the groove going in full swing.
MIXTRAX also features club-style illumination that enhances the mood with a dynamic dance club-like lighting effect. As MIXTRAX begins, lights start pulsing to the beat of the music, adding an extra level of entertainment. Choose among multiple patterns of lighting variations from sound pressure level or low-pass synchronization modes.

Clovis recorded its third homicide of the year late Saturday, but that wasn't the extent of the violence over the Christmas weekend.
Clovis Police Lt. James Schoeffel said officers responded to five unrelated violent crimes between Christmas Eve and Christmas night.
In addition to the homicide, an attempted armed robbery took place outside a Clovis residence, and a rape, kidnapping and assault occurred in the home of a Clovis woman on Saturday.
On Sunday, a man was shot at a Pile Street business and another stabbed outside the Prince Lounge, Schoeffel said.
The only arrest was related to the homicide.
While police received fewer calls reporting crime this Christmas than in 2003 or 2004, this year's events were more violent than usual and required extra overtime efforts and special unit investigations, Schoeffel said.
Here's a summary of the reports:
• Christmas Eve homicide: Officials will not offer a motive for the fatal shooting outside the Econo Lodge Motel. The shooting occurred about 9:45 p.m. in the motel parking lot where police found Joseph Phillips, 48, of Guthrie, Okla., dead with blood on and around his head, a police report shows.
Before he was shot to death, Phillips called a cab to pick him up from the motel where he had been staying since Dec. 2, then exited the vehicle to smoke a cigar, 9th Judicial District Attorney Matt Chandler said Tuesday.
The driver of the G&C Taxi cab and the man that called police, Richard Berry of Portales, said he saw Jimmy Bentley, 71, of Farmington point a small handgun at Phillips' face and shoot Phillips while his hands were raised, records show. The shooting occurred after a short exchange of words outside the motel, records show.
Officials have said Phillips did not know Bentley.
Police handcuffed two women, Linda Bentley, 60, of Farmington, and Maela Edmondson, 35, of Albuquerque, along with Bentley, the report shows. The women are Bentley's wife and niece respectively and were visiting Clovis for the holidays, Chandler said. They were not arrested, officials said.
After the shooting, the women told police, "You are blowing this out of proportion," and "This is not a big deal," the report shows.
Latia Lorraine Neighbors, 25 of San Antonio, Texas, told police Phillips was her business partner. Phillips was working as a photograph package salesman at North Plains Mall, officials said.
Bentley was booked at the Curry County Adult Detention Center on $100,000 cash bond on Christmas morning, detention records show. He is represented by Randy Knudson and will be arraigned at 1:30 p.m today, Chandler said.
• Christmas Eve rape: A 40-year-old Clovis woman called police about 11 p.m. after a man she was acquainted with entered her home to smoke marijuana, taped her mouth, beat her, trapped her in a closet, and repeatedly raped her, a police report shows.
The woman said her attacker is about 5 feet 7 inches, and weighs 350 pounds, records show.
• Christmas Eve robbery: A masked man attempted to rob a Clovis man and his son at gunpoint about 6:45 p.m. outside their home on the 1700 block of Erinn Place, police records show.
The individuals had no money, they were not harmed and police have no suspects, records show.
• Christmas morning stabbing: Police found Victor Gonzales, 25, in the parking lot of the Prince Lounge with a stab wound to his left side and a bloodied folding pocket knife on the ground adjacent to him, the report shows.
A bouncer employed at the lounge told police Gonzales and an unidentified patron were kicked out to the parking lot about 12:15 a.m. for fighting. They continued to fight in the parking lot until Gonzales was stabbed by a knife he had been holding, the report shows.
• Christmas night shooting: Police responded about 9:30 p.m. to Plains Regional Medical Center in reference to a shooting victim.
With a bullet wound to his right leg above the knee, Zachariah Stephenson, 29, told police he was shot by an unknown man after opening the door to the shop where he was living on 1200 Pile St., the police report shows.
Stephenson described the shooter as a Hispanic, bald male, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, 230 pounds, who wore a white jacket and drove a maroon Lincoln Navigator with chrome wheels, the report shows.
"Some years are more violent than others," Schoeffel said. "Crime hits in spurts. When it rains it pours."

Recent News
Meet Hurley and Huda, the Real Heroes
July 10, 2013
It is a hot, humid North Carolina summer evening at Triad Park near Winston-Salem, N.C. Hurley and Huda, Richard Childress Racing (RCR) car chief Darin Nestlerode and wife Paula's bloodhounds, wait patiently in the back of an air conditioned pickup truck bed that sits in the parking lot. Today's trip is only a weekly training exercise, but they don't know that. The beautiful, reddish-brown dogs are just waiting for the opportunity to be strapped into a custom-made tracking harness meaning only one thing; it's time to go to work.
"This is only a training exercise where the dogs will be given a smell from a scent article and then track the strategic path put down by one of the trainers who has traveled through multiple terrains including: asphalt, grass, fields and wooded areas," said Darin Nestlerode, an employee of RCR since 2000 and the car chief on the No. 31 Chevrolet SS of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Jeff Burton. "When these dogs get strapped in, watch out, because they know it is go time."
Hurley and Huda are more than just your basic house pets that would make the trip to the local hardware store or tag along on a backwoods hunting expedition. These amazing bloodhounds are a part of the Triad Bloodhounds search and rescue team which consists of multiple area K-9s that are trained to successfully follow scent trails for many hours and even several days assisting local authorities in search and rescue missions.
"The human body is like a giant salt shaker so when a person walks, their skin cells leave a scent trail," said Darin. "As long as we have a scent article, the dogs can get started on a trail and give local authorities a general direction that the missing person has traveled recently."
In most instances, the dogs are looking for a missing person, but the weekly training they receive also prepares them for cadaver detection and water recovery situations. Bloodhounds use their ability to smell during investigations and depend on their handlers to help avoid distractions and obstacles, which are common in high-traffic urban areas where most searches take place.
"They don't really use their eyesight in these searches so we need to be close by to make them aware of their surroundings," said Paula Nestlerode. "The time it takes to complete different missions varies on many different factors, and we as the handlers have to be prepared for anything. The overall process is very technical and the training is just as important to us as it is to the dogs. The local authorities and we, as handlers, must learn to trust the dog at all times, even when it seems like all is lost. We train them so frequently that we understand when one of them has lost a track or when we are getting close to the missing person."
"The goal is always to find the person you are searching for and the success rate is surprisingly high, but even if we can give the police a general direction, we consider it a win," added Darin. "In the end, if we can find who we are looking for, it's comparable to winning a race - just a great feeling of accomplishment. These animals amaze me more and more every day."
While Darin and Paula got into the search and rescue business by accident, their passion for their dogs is showcased in the fact that they volunteer and are on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year at no cost to the requesting agency. The team depends on donations and fundraisers for financial support and with some local organizations getting involved, Triad Bloodhounds has been able to purchase equipment that is utilized in unique terrains on specific missions.
"Most people think that we are paid by the local Sheriff department to come and complete these searches, but that isn't true," explained Paula. "We sort of got into this by accident, but now it is a very intense, costly hobby and we are always looking for support in any way. We have been fortunate of the support we have received so far, but there are different pieces of equipment out there that if we had, it would only increase the chances of completing our search and rescue missions in rough terrain."
Triad Bloodhounds is a 501(c)3 tax deductible non-profit organization. For more information on the search and rescue team, please visit www.triadbloodhounds.org.

Lanz of Salzburg Puppy Love Pajamas
Rated 4.4 out of 5Â by 19 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by mia008 nice but a little to small Cute pattern and soft fabric. However, a bit too small. Buy it a size larger. October 13, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Lady Max comfy and warm I can't get through the Northeast winters without flannel pjs. These are very comfy and warm, but not too warm. The design is a bit too cutesy for my taste, but the comfort is worth it. They didn't seem to shrink in the washer and dryer, nor did the dyes run. I especially like that the top is a bit longer than the normal Lanz pjs. The only complaint I have is the top seems to run a bit small through the shoulders. January 29, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Kadee10 Cute puppy pajamas Just received and tried on L size. They are a bit tighter than I like and leave no room for shrinkage. I will order an XL with hopes that size fits more comfortably on/to me. I have a little dog like on the pajamas, so these are a must have if they will fit. January 16, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sharky pj"s THE WINTER HERE IN NEW YORK MIGHT BE TERRIBLE BUT AT NIGHT I AM TOASTY WARM IN THESE PJ'S...LANZ MAKES VERY GOOD FLANNEL'S...THANKS VERMONT COUNTRY STORE... February 25, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Nobody's Fool Disappointed in Lanz Cozy, but flimsy compared to the Lanz cardinal-decorated pajamas and the Lanz snow scenes-decorated nightgown I'd bought previously. Makes me wonder just who is manufacturing this previously perfect nightwear for Vermont Country Store these days. Another "classic" bites the dust as far as exceptional quality goes, I guess. January 20, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by nm Sizing is very small, order larger I bought the tyrolean print a couple of years ago in a small which was plenty big and I love them. The small in PuppyLove was way smaller. I normally take a size 4 and these are supposed to fit a size 6, but they are too small for me. Other than that, the quality seems good. March 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Crisco Jar Cute, Soft and Warm This is such a precious print. The flannel feels so soft and warm. It is a great pair of pajamas. I did have to order a size larger than I usually wear. February 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Quality Essential Quality I've know Lantz to be of good quality but, this time I was a little disappointed in the pajamers that I purchased because the bottoms were not assembled properly and a tad crooked. Don't get me wrong, I can still were them but like I said, the quality. January 17, 2014

text: So AF is due to arrive any day, (been having AF since 2 months postpartum, baby is now 8 months) I'm just wondering if there is a difference between instant oatmeal and good old fashioned oatmeal in helping increase your supply? I've used Mother's Milk Tea in the past and it really increased my supply but it also gives me diarhhea (sorry TMI) so I'm not too keen on going that route again. Any experience between the two? TIA!

A little birdie told me
As part of the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA) "Salon Series" (www.artsalliancesite.org), the Little Sparrow Band was performing in the Krause Recital Hall, doing what they do so well. Aldo Troini, Kurt Knuth, Lynn Reno, Lester Wilson and "leader of the flock," Carol Smith, introduced guest musician Van Manakas to the packed house as they entertained with their acoustic mix of traditional bluegrass, '60s rock, Americana and original tunes. I've heard the down-home band before, but last Sunday's show was exemplary and I can honestly say that listening to these accomplished musicians made me just plain feel good. "I'm joyful and nervous and so happy to see everyone here," Smith shared, as Aldo leaned into the mic and proclaimed, "It's hillbilly time." Beautiful harmonies and a great rapport with the crowd ensued, and I was reminded how the band has spread its wings and soared since forming in 2008. If anyone asks where you heard of them, tell them a little birdie told you.

"I thought he'd be an outside dog," Farenthold said. "That all changed; he's got his own room in my house."
The canine named Nando was purchased for $4,500 from seized drug money – a bargain considering the average cost of a trained dog can run $14,000, Farenthold said.
Nando's original handler was at a sheriff's department in another county, but then he left, and Nando was left without a partner — to Farenthold's and Woodsboro's good fortune.
"He's a great dog," the marshal said. "Nando was trained, and we hit it off right away."
The security the shepherd provides for the one-man police force is priceless. When Nando steps out of the patrol vehicle with his pointed ears at attention and his searing eyes staring at Farenthold's suspect, the deterrent factor kicks in.
Illegal immigrants who often run after being stopped now do not budge.
"When we're working together and he's on the leash beside me, he can sense my moods," Farenthold said. "When I'm nervous or wound up, he can feel it."
The old cliche about man's best friend is never more true. Just as Farenthold's instinct tells him the stop he's just made "doesn't feel right," Nando senses his partner's concern. Nando's ears perk up, and he's all business.
A bond of trust quickly formed between the marshal and Nando. His so-called "room" is vacant for now. Nando sleeps on the floor next to Farenthold's bed.
Woodsboro may be a peaceful community with a low crime rate but with U.S. 77 nearby, trafficking both drugs and illegal immigrants is a daily reminder that Refugio County is on the path to the Valley and nearby Mexico. Officers never know how treacherous the next stop can be.
Nano is a trusted, constant companion for the officer.
"I take him everywhere with me — I know he's got my back," the marshal said.
Narcotics were recently taken off the street, thanks to Nando's help during the alert and arrest.
"He does what I tell him to do," Farenthold said. "He will bite if I tell him to or he will be gentle enough to play with children. He's very good with kids."
Brushing the thick layers of fur are part of a daily routine.
"It's more like having a small child; he needs a lot of attention," Farenthold said.
Negotiations are underway with other departments who no longer have drug dogs and would like him to assist other officers. But for now, Nando and Farenthold are committed to working together, living together and bonding as best friends do.
The Marshal, who was hired earlier in the year, says he likes Woodsboro and has no plans to leave the community. With his new roommate, Woodsboro is now home.
"Once you connect, you're partners for life," Farenthold said.

text: James Watt, Contesting the Gothic: Fiction, Genre and Cultural Conflict, 1764–1832 Submitted by rc-admin on Mon, 03/13/2000 - 12:03 James Watt, Contesting the Gothic: Fiction, Genre and Cultural Conflict, 1764-1832. Cambridge Studies in Romanticism, no. 33. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1999. x + 205 pp. $59.95 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-521-64099-7). Reviewed by Diane Long Hoeveler Marquette University In a valuable new study of the gothic, Watt claims that he wants to "take issue with received accounts of the genre as a stable and continuous tradition." His stated intention is to depict the gothic as a "heterogeneous body of fiction, characterised at times by antagonistic relations between various writers or works" (i). Given the mass of critical studies published in the past five years or so on the gothic that adopt a historicist perspective, such as Emma Clery's The Rise of Supernatural Fiction, 17621800 (Cambridge University Press, 1995), this is not as original or startling a claim as Watt seems to believe, but Watt's book does bring some exciting archival material to the project, and for that reason alone the book is new and grounded in historical material we have not seen before. His stated foci are: 1) "Walpole's attempt to forge an aristocratic identity"; 2) the "loyalist affiliations of many neglected works of the 1790s"; 3) the "subversive reputation of The Monk"; 4) "the ways in which Radcliffean romance proved congenial to conservative critics"; 5) the status of Scott within the gothic; and (6) the "process by which the Gothic came to be defined as a monolithic tradition" (i).

HP's Stock Rally Is 'Running Out of Steam'
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Investors should be careful about owning HP(HPQ) shares, warns Brian White, an analyst at Topeka Capital Markets.
"The greater than 50% rally in HP's stock over the past seven weeks has been impressive and driven by a plethora of factors, but none that we believe are based in reality," he wrote in a note released Friday. "As such, we believe the stock is close to running out of steam and we remain sellers at these levels."
The beleaguered tech giant has been thrust into the spotlight recently. HP's shares spiked on Wednesday following a news report that potential purchasers are evaluating the company's Autonomy and EDS units.
A spokesman for HP told TheStreet that the company doesn't comment on speculation.
There have been plenty of rumors, though, about HP carving off parts of its business. In a recent regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission , HP said it will "continue to evaluate the potential disposition of assets and businesses that may no longer help us meet our objectives."
White, however, believes that the buyout talk swirling around rival Dell(DELL) has fuelled HP M&A chatter, lifting its shares.
"Given the current legal issues surrounding Autonomy after HP called out improprieties at the company, we can't imagine that any rational buyer would pay much for this business," White wrote. "While services have been challenged in recent quarters, selling off EDS seems a bit extreme and unlikely to happen in the near term, especially when this business makes sense with HP's enterprise portfolio. We don't expect a major, near-term transformation at HP."
Also, this week's weak guidance from tech bellwether Intel(INTC) hardly bodes well for HP, highlighting pressure in the PC market.
There had been hopes that Microsoft's(MSFT) Windows 8 launch would boost the PC business, although that is yet to materialize, according to White. "Intel's call last night provided a subtle reminder that demand is not off to the races just yet," he wrote. The analyst also notes that HP's restructuring challenges and "stretched balance sheet" make it more vulnerable to competition from IT heavyweights such as IBM(IBM) and Cisco(CSCO) , as well as EMC(EMC) and Oracle(ORCL) .
Clearly, HP CEO Meg Whitman has a lot on her plate. Last year she laid out her turnaround plan for the No. 1 PC maker, which has seen its shares slump 37% over the past 12 months. HP says it's on track to complete its restructuring by the end of fiscal 2014. By 2016, Whitman expects to see the company's revenue growing in line with GDP and operating profit increasing faster than revenue.
HP's research and development (R&D) also came under scrutiny this week, with Moody's noting that it lags rivals such as IBM, Dell, Cisco, EMC, Oracle Lenovo and Lexmark(LXK) .

The first half of the 1940s was, of course, dominated by World War II. This meant that sales of civilian trucks progressed very slowly. Fortunately, military customers came to call and Volvo became a major supplier to the Swedish armed forces. During World War II, thousands of "Roundnose" trucks were delivered, in a standard model, with simplified design, and also in an all-wheel-drive model.
The "Roundnose" trucks, which were introduced as "1940" models in late 1939, consisted of a wide range of trucks that looked similar but covered a large number of transport applications. The front, for instance, was available in at least three distinctly different lengths. The "Roundnoses" were to be perhaps the most successful Volvo trucks until the F trucks of the 1970s onwards.

Is it completely unreasonable to just plain want some of that 2006 magic for the rest of the season? When the wins just rolled out one after the other? The way I see it, we're looking at 3 options for September. 1) We start losing. And as can happen (we allll know) the losing begets more losing. 2) We win! Again and again! Oh how confident the Mets are, all swagger and red hot bats and picking each other up. 3) Win, lose, win, lose, win, lose, right along with the other contenders in our division, and right to the very end. Oy.
I have a feeling I'm going to be very moody in September. I'm not a huge fan of roller coasters, Metsies. Can't we just have it easy for once? I'm thinking it's on the offense now. Pick up the bullpen, the missing John Maine. Wanna score early? Fine, great, but the ball works the same in later innings too. Let's keep up what you did last night. Come on, boys. Don't fail us this time.
September baseball: Alcohol and antacids.
5 Comments
The alcohol and antacids have been out for several months already! And, throw in a blindfold and some dramamine too, because I don't do well with roller coasters either!
Hey, ladies (and guys), my template for a perfect season will always be '86– Stomp 'em all flat in April and May, and then pull slowly ahead, dancing on everybody else's graves all the way.😛 End up 20 games in first with 108 wins.
Some people think that can get boring. Believe me, it does not. It is intoxicating beyond belief. It is like crack– so I've heard.😛
SO no, I'm not a big one for see-saw pennant races either, and am stocking up on antacids, and wondering about Xanax. But as with the Democratic party, my aspirations have changed over the years. I just want to see Shea rock again before the end. I just want to hear that mega-decibel, "this crowd goes to 11," post-season roar again before the place comes down forever.
Hi, Zoe.
Antacids are fine but Xanax gets it done!
I'm a Yankee fan (sorry), but this is my first time on your blog and I admire your passion for your team. I relate. Also, I read that you worked in publishing before writing your novel. Me too. See? Even crosstown rivals can have something in common!
Ms. Heller, I've read your pieces in the New York Times. Do you have anything anywhere about how you became a Yankee fan? What missteps, what evil influences, what errors in judgment could have led an intelligent woman like yourself to such a grievous faux pas?😉
Zoe, check out MetsBlog to see Mike Pelfrey, Good Citizen- there's a little clip from CB Park, enemy territory, no less– a young boy takes quite a tumble out of the outfield seats to the field. The kid gets up and staggers around, and Pelf comes to his aid, steadies him, and gently lowers him to the ground.
I sawww that with Pelf, all over the news. After that video, a few Mets go over to him, and I can't see who it is, but someone holds the boy and comforts him. Really sweet.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Jarnell Stokes announced on Saturday his intentions to return to Tennessee for his junior season. The power forward from Memphis, Tenn., had explored the possibility of entering this summer's NBA Draft and had requested an evaluation from the NBA's Undergraduate Advisory Committee.

"After considering entering the NBA Draft, I have decided to return to Tennessee for my junior season," Stokes said. "After talking with my family I have decided to come back and I am excited to return to the Vols. I am looking forward to playing with Jeronne (Maymon), Jordan (McRae), Trae (Golden) and my other teammates again. I think we are ready for a big season, one that will make Vol Nation proud."
The 6-8, 270-pound Stokes earned second-team All-SEC honors after a season in which he was one of only four players from a "major" conference - and the only player from the SEC - to average a double-double in league play (13.1 ppg, 10.7 rpg).
"I am excited that Jarnell is returning for his junior season," Martin said. "I thought he had a great sophomore campaign. He did a tremendous job of improving throughout the season. He did a great job in terms of offensive rebounding. This is very exciting news for our team and the entire Tennessee family."
Stokes started all 33 of Tennessee's games and finished the season as UT's leader in total rebounding (9.6 rpg), offensive rebounding (4.2 orpg), free-throw attempts (194) and blocks (1.1 bpg). He grabbed at least 10 rebounds in 18 games and scored in double-figures 22 times.
His 138 offensive rebounds and 4.2 offensive rebounding average both stand as the best by a Vol in a single season since offensive rebounding statistics have been tracked. His 4.2 offensive rebounds per game ranked third among all players in Division I college basketball.
Stokes' 16 double-doubles were the most among SEC players and marked the most by a Vol in a season since Hall of Famer Bernard King had 19 in 1976-77.
Rising senior wing Jordan McRae announced earlier this month that he would be returning to UT for the 2013-14 season. With Stokes joining him on next year's roster, Tennessee appears set to return 83.7 percent of its scoring and 86.3 percent of its rebounding from a season ago. In addition, forward Jeronne Maymon - a second-team All-SEC performer in 2012 who redshirted in 2013 - will be a fifth-year senior next year.

text: U.S. Senate passes small jobs package Last week the U.S. Senate passed a jobs package (H.R. 2847) introduced by Majority Leader Reid (D-NV). The bill passed with a bipartisan vote of 70-28. The jobs package included a school infrastructure piece advocated by NEA. Specifically, the bill extends and improves the Build America Bonds program. This program, originally authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, is very efficient and cost effective for state and local governments. It will help put Americans back to work by creating greater opportunities to build, repair, and modernize schools, and generating construction related jobs in local communities in every state. Beyond the school infrastructure assistance, passage of this bill creates momentum for passage of additional, urgently-needed jobs legislation, including an Education Jobs Fund and an extension of the higher federal Medicaid match. CONTACT YOUR SENATORS TODAY! Thank the Senate for passing the first jobs package. Remind them that much more needs to be done to save educator jobs and spur economic recovery. Urge the Senate to take immediate action on a jobs package that includes: An Education Jobs Fund – to save and create hundreds of thousands of education jobs An extension of federal Medicaid funding – to relieve budget pressures and prevent more cuts to education funding Private pension relief – to protect retirement security Extension of the educator tax deduction – to recognize the sacrifices made by educators across the nation who reach into their own pockets to pay for classroom supplies.

Star Wars: The Old Republic ReviewBy Matt Keil - Posted Dec 21, 2011
At long last, BioWare and EA have flung wide the doors to the Galaxy Far, Far Away. Can this new take on the MMORPG make the jump to hyperspace?
The Pros
- BioWare-style storytelling flawlessly integrated into MMO gameplay
- Huge game with hundreds of hours of content
- Companion system ensures you can always progress
- Fast-paced and rewarding PvP Warzones
- Top notch music and voice acting
The Cons
- UI needs to be more customizable
- Needs more explicit tutorials for non-MMO players
Star Wars: The Old Republic Review
After many years, numerous jaw-dropping cinematic trailers, and countless X-Play preview segments, Star Wars: The Old Republic has finally gone live. BioWare has long-stated that their ambition with this sprawling massively multiplayer online game is to deliver essentially eight new installments of their lauded Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series, one per character class. It's an impossible goal, one that strains the limits of credulity and, most likely, modern game development. Yet, after nearly a hundred hours of play time on numerous classes, I have to admit that, as far as I am concerned, they have actually done it.
Star Wars: The Old Republic (henceforth SWTOR, pronounced either "SWO-tor" or "sweater" depending on your preference) takes place about 3500 years before the films, but you might have a hard time knowing that by looking at it. Most of SWTOR will be familiar to any fan of the films, right down to Fett-ish armor on the Bounty Hunters and clonetrooper armor on the Troopers. This rather ingenious move allows the game to present familiar Star Warsian archetypes without getting bogged down in the film era timeline and characters.
You have eight classes to choose from: Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular, Smuggler and Trooper on the Republic side and Sith Warrior, Sith Inquisitor, Imperial Agent and Bounty Hunter on the Empire side. Each has its own storyline that is entirely different from the other seven. As a fairly hardcore Star Wars fan, I ended up drawn to the Imperial Agent more than the others, primarily because it's the only class without a movie archetype behind it. While the Smuggler class is obviously going to be a Han Solo-esque story and the Bounty Hunter is going to make you into a Fauxba Fett, Imperial Agent explores a fairly uncharted nook of the Star Wars galaxy. It was refreshing to play through a Star Wars story that was able to surprise me.
Of course, if you're more into swinging a saber or suiting up in plasteel heavy armor, SWTOR has interesting and well-written stories for you in those classes, too. BioWare's hallmark has always been storytelling, and they have managed to merge high production value story scenes with MMO gameplay in a disturbingly compelling manner. Every character you interact with is fully voiced, from the main characters in your storyline to the lowly trooper who needs a hand killing ten enemy snipers in the field. This adds a tremendous amount to the game, and even members of the G4 staff who expected to skip through the cutscenes have found themselves watching every one of them. When your character needs to say something, a Mass Effect style choice wheel pops up and you choose the tone of the response, with the traditional KOTOR reward of Dark or Light Side points for specific choices. If you're in a group of players, each player picks a response, and the game rolls a number for each player to determine who gets to actually speak in the cutscene.
The story and its presentation pulls you into the world in a way unlike any other MMO out there. While everyone who played World of Warcraft was attached to their characters because of the time put into them and their utility in the game, your SWTOR character are actually, well, characters. You don't just care about what gear they're wearing or what their crit chance is, you have a clear idea of who they are thanks to the storyline and your choices in it. When I play through a quest, I not only hope I get a good loot drop from the boss, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to my Agent from a narrative perspective, too.
As far as the actual gameplay, the old "WoW with lightsabers" chestnut manages to be both right and wrong. You do spend a lot of time killing a certain number of things or gathering a certain number of items, and WoW players will find a lot of familiar quest design here. However, the actual combat is different in that it does not use WoW's queue system and auto-attacking. Each attack in SWTOR corresponds to a press of a button as it happens, and the result is a more action-oriented feel to the combat. It probably resembles City of Heroes/Villains more than anything else, but comparisons to other MMOs pretty much go out the window when your Sith Marauder is flying through the air about to bring his twin lightsabers down on a boss monster's head.
Interestingly, BioWare made sure that everyone could play SWTOR even without other players around. Each class gets a group of companion characters that can serve different combat functions, from tanks to healers to damage dealers. This means that squishy mage-types will be able to have a tank around to soak up damage, and low-damage tanks will have a high-damage buddy to help make progress faster. You'll find yourself quickly overwhelmed if you try to take on group instances or Heroic zones on with just you and your companion, but normal quests can always be tackled in this manner, guaranteeing that you can always make forward progress in the game, even if you don't want to group with other players. It's a brilliant system that will likely open the game up to people who aren't as experienced or even interested in the MMO aspect of things. SWTOR is pretty good about giving you a variety of things to do on top of the story quests. Heroic areas and quests force grouping up with others, and the vast majority of pick-up groups I've been part of have been enjoyable and successful, at least so far.
Flashpoints are story-driven instance missions that are generally tougher than in-world Heroics, and generally result in some of the best loot. The Flashpoints are where the group conversation mechanics really get a chance to shine. There are also Operations, which are the SWTOR equivalent of raid dungeons, but since very few have actually hit the endgame content at this point, and I'm not one of them, I can only tell you they exist.
PvP is somewhat limited at this point, featuring three Warzone maps to play and of course the usual in-world combat between factions. Thankfully the three Warzones are tremendous fun and very different from one another. Huttball is a gladiatorial/sporting contest that challenges two teams to move a ball down a trap-laden field to score at an opposing team's end zone. Voidstar is an attack/defend style map similar to the Rush gametype in Battlefield. Alderaan, my personal favorite, is a Conquest-style map in which the teams try to control three turbolaser cannons. Each cannon under your control continuously fires at an enemy capital ship hovering in the distance, and whichever team shoots down the enemy cap ship first wins. More content is obviously on the way, but this first taste is a very positive one. The objectives are interesting and the rewards are substantial.
SWTOR features a very unusual crafting system in that your character doesn't actually do any of it. You acquire three crew skills early in the game, one for crafting, one for gathering resources, and one for "missions." You can send your crew members out on quests for the latter two, which causes them to disappear for a set amount of time and bring items back when they return. They also handle all the crafting. You just queue up to five items for them to make and they go off and make them for you. The advantage of this is that you can go do other stuff while your crew grinds for you. For instance, once you get your ship you can take on action-based space missions whenever you like. These are tube shooters, like Space Harrier or After Burner, and are a great time killer for when your crew members are out on crafting missions.
The trouble with the crafting is that it's not very clearly explained by the game, and can require a lot of trial and error to get your head around. In fact, one of the game's only serious flaws is that it's most likely going to be somewhat impenetrable to someone who has never played an MMO before. Since I have to assume one of the goals of SWTOR is to get Star Wars fans who have not played MMOs to try this one out, it seems like SWTOR should have a much, much more detailed tutorial feature. The first planet for each class serves as something of a ten-level tutorial, with rudimentary tooltips popping up regularly, but I really think it needs a super-basic handholding mode. Ideally, when you create a character it should ask "Have you ever played an MMO before?" and if you say you haven't, it very clearly walks you through what everything is from the ground up. It's easy for those of us who have played MMOs for years to intuit many of SWTOR's interface quirks and game mechanics, but a decent chunk of this game's eventual audience may actually need things like "cooldown" and "agro" explained to them. Hopefully a future content update will address this. For now, if you're an MMO newbie, just make sure you have an experienced friend around to help out.
It would also be nice if there were more options when it came to the user interface. The UI is surprisingly rigid and unscaleable, and the freedom to shrink elements of it and move things around would greatly improve the experience. Again, this is a minor issue, but one that will hopefully be remedied in the future.
The amount of content in Star Wars: The Old Republic is astounding. The fact that it is all incredibly damn good is borderline miraculous. We've known for some time that this was a tremendously ambitious project, but it's not until digging into the game for a hundred or so hours that you start to appreciate just how damn much there is to be played here. A wide variety of players in the G4 offices have been thoroughly hooked. From MMO fans who don't care about Star Wars to Star Wars fans who have never played an MMO to BioWare fans who don't care about Star Wars or MMOs, reaction has been universally positive.
I honestly have spent the last few years very seriously doubting that even BioWare could pull off something as frankly crazy as what The Old Republic is attempting to do. They have succeeded far beyond my admittedly high expectations. As a KOTOR fan, I finally have my long-awaited sequel(s). As an MMO fan, I am hooked. As a Star Wars fan, I am enthralled. I'm not going to lie to you - a good chunk of this was written while waiting to get through a server queue. I'm willing to bet a good chunk of you read it while doing the same, so let's all Alt-Tab over. We have a lot of game to play.
