Lees shines on homecoming; Vikes win consecutive district games for 1st time
UNIONVILLE -- Community senior Austin Lees had a night that was fit for-well-like royalty in a Friday night 41-21 win over Huntland.
Lees was crowned homecoming king during pre-game festivities, then promptly ruled the gridiron by shredding the Hornet defense for 362 all-purpose yards and scoring five touchdowns to lead the Vikings to their first ever homecoming win.
It also marks the first time in school history that the Vikings have won consecutive district games.
'Phenomenal night'
"It was a phenomenal night for our team and our community," Viking coach Johnnie Frost said.
"Homecoming is always a special event and Austin will remember his for the rest of his life. I can't speak for him but I am sure he will tell you that the guys up front played an outstanding game and he was able to take full advantage of the holes they opened for him.
"Our team is about 10 or 11 plays away from having five or six wins. We dug ourselves a little bit of a hole early in the season but we are starting to peak at just the right time."
Lees and the offensive line started the scoring with a 44-yard run with just five minutes gone in the first period after Viking defensive back Tyler Cowan made a clutch play on a fake punt near midfield.
Cowan read the play perfectly and knocked the pass down to give his team possession. Lees run came seconds later to knock the visitors back on their heels.
Leading 7-0 going into the second frame, the Vikings drove deep into Huntland territory only to have a TD run by Frost called back on a penalty away from the ball. A turnover halted the drive on the next play and the Hornets seized the opportunity.
Hornets sting
Dylan Stephens did most of the damage for the Hornets on their scoring drive and it was he who took the rock to pay dirt at the 21-second mark to tie the game at intermission.
"We had what I like to call homecoming hangover in the first half," Frost said. "Homecoming is a good thing for the kids but as a coach we have to realize that the players are going to be distracted away from the game and there is a period of refocusing that has to take place.
"I thought our kids did a pretty good job of fighting through the distractions in the second half.
"They told us in the locker room to have some faith in the running game and that they would open some holes. We did and they did just what they told us they would do.
"It was a huge sign of maturity as a team and I couldn't be more proud of the way they rewarded our staffs faith in them those last two quarters."
Huntland opened the third quarter with a long drive aided by several penalties to take the lead with 8:43 showing but it would be all Purple and Gold from there.
Special teams shine
Special teams shined for Community all night long but none more than on the next kickoff when they threw several devastating blocks for Lees who took it 70 yards to the Huntland 12-yard line. Taylor Paschal took it to the 2-yard line and then Lees finished it off with a 2-yard plunge to tie the game.
After the defense took the ball away on a turnover, Lees gave the capacity crowd and scouts in attendance something to take note of when he simply outran everybody on the field for a 72-yard touchdown to give the Vikings a 20-14 advantage with 4:27 left in the quarter.
Community then executed an onside kick to perfection to take advantage of a surprised Hornet defense with James taking the ball in the air and falling on it inside the enemies territory.
Quinn Frost then connected with James in the end zone to bump the score to 27-14.
Lees struck again the opening minutes of the fourth quarter when James recovered a second consecutive onside attempt and the senior tailback made the score 34-14 moments later on a 15-yard jaunt.
The Vikings broke out the Wildcat formation for their final score with Lees taking the direct snap for his fifth score of the night.
Paschal rushed four times for 41 yards. Pride had 50 yards on four carries and Frost netted 21 yards on four carries for the home team.
Lees finished with 217 yards on 17 carries.
Community takes on Cascade in Wartrace on Friday night at 7.

Mechanical properties of nanomaterials can be altered due to the application of voltage, University of Wyoming researchers have discovered.
The researchers, led by TeYu Chien, a UW assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, determined that the electric field is responsible for altering the fracture toughness of nanomaterials, which are used in state-of-the-art electronic devices. It is the first observed evidence that the electric field changes the fracture toughness at a nanometer scale.
This finding opens the way for further investigation of nanomaterials regarding electric field-mechanical property interactions, which is extremely important for applications and fundamental research.
Chien is the lead author of a paper, titled "Built-in Electric Field Induced Mechanical Property Change at the Lanthanum Nickelate/Nb-doped Strontium Titanate Interfaces," that was recently published in Scientific Reports. Scientific Reports is an online, open-access journal from the publishers of Nature. The journal publishes scientifically valid primary research from all areas of the natural and clinical sciences.
Other researchers who contributed to the paper are from the University of Arkansas, University of Tennessee and Argonne National Laboratory in Argonne, Ill.
Chien and his research team studied the surfaces of the fractured interfaces of ceramic materials, including lanthanum nickelate and strontium titanate with a small amount of niobium. The researchers revealed that strontium titanate, within a few nanometers of the interfaces, fractured differently from the strontium titanate away from the interfaces.
The two ceramic materials were chosen because one is a metallic oxide while the other is a semiconductor. When the two types of materials come into contact with each other, an intrinsic electric field will automatically be formed in a region, known as the Schottky barrier, near the interface, Chien explains. The Schottky barrier refers to the region where an intrinsic electric field is formed at metal/semiconductor interfaces.
The intrinsic electric field at interfaces is an inevitable phenomenon whenever one material is in contact with another. The electric field effects on the mechanical properties of materials are rarely studied, especially for nanomaterials. Understanding electric field effects is extremely important for applications of nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS), which are devices, such as actuators, integrating electrical and mechanical functionalities on the nanoscale.
For NEMS materials made in nanoscale, understanding the mechanical properties affected by electric fields is crucial for full control of device performance. The observations in this study pave the way to better understand the mechanical properties of nanomaterials.
"The electric field changes the inter-atomic bond length in the crystal by pushing positively and negatively charged ions in opposite directions," Chien says. "Altering bond length changes bond strength. Hence, the mechanical properties, such as fracture toughness."
"The whole picture is this: The intrinsic electric field in the Schottky barrier was created at the interfaces. This then polarized the materials near the interfaces by changing the atomic positions in the crystal. The changed atomic positions altered the inter-atomic bond length inside the materials to change the mechanical properties near the interfaces," Chien summarizes.

Currents that Adriannea does not recognize push against her as she blindly swims across the cold waters of the Pacific. Animals that do not know her rudely complain about the furious wake her fins leave. She is not used to such deep waters, and clings to the surface, shaking with every furious beat of her tail. Tears that meld instantaneously with the salt water peel from her dark eyes. From time to time she leaps from the water, not caring if she is seen by the human eye. What bad could that do her now?
Time passes. Night rises and falls and rises again around Adriannea without much notice from her. Finally, she hits the western coast, and nearly spins into a land mass known commonly as the Queen Charlotte islands. She finds refuge under a rather large rock, and twists herself among some seaweed until she warms up a bit. Then she lies her head upon a sandy floor, and tries to rest.
Further down along the coast, a creature stirs with the arrival of the night. It wanders along the ocean floor, gathering hot pieces of porous rock, and glowing fish. It places them in a bag made from an old fishing net, fastened together with a large piece of bone.
This creature might look like a fish, at first glance. It's wide tail, and sideways way of moving through the water. But then, one would notice that its form changes at the waist. Scales scatter along a smooth, sickly looking surface that might have once been skin. Sores and cuts cover what isn't already taken over by scale, and what isn't an open wound is a ghastly green color. From its' head escapes long strands of wire-like hair, black and tangled. It's face has two eyes, and a nose, almost human, but not quite. The nose has seemed to decompose over time, and only the cartilage remains of the appendage. And of the eyes, they are wide, and translucent looking, like that of a deep water fish. It has arms, bony, with clawing fingers, and razor sharp fingernails.
If Adriannea had paid attention in her schooling, she might be able to match a name to such a creature. For the creature in question was once a human. And at one time it had a name; Wakanda.
Wakanda had grown up on the shores of the West Coast, a part of the Kwakiutl tribe. It was widely known that she had an affinity for the water. She bathed constantly, and knew the waters better than her own father before she hit puberty. If she wasn't helping her father fish, she was swimming, diving down as far as she could before she needed air. Her mother had always joked that in naming her daughter 'water baby' she was to be blamed for Wakanda's affinity to the ocean.
It wasn't long before Wakanda was old enough to be married. She did not take too well to this idea, and although her mother was dead set against choosing a partner for her eldest child, her father thought differently. She was partnered with a man her age named Mingan from the interior, and when he came to meet her, they seemed to get along. If things had gone differently, maybe they would have grown into a happy couple. But when Wakanda learned that she had to leave the ocean for the forest, she refused to go. There was a struggle. She was forced to submission, and taken into the forest.
Time passed. She succumbed to Mingan's desires and gave him two beautiful boys, Chelan and Shilah. She cares for them, taking pleasure only in telling them stories about the ocean, and teaching them to swim in the nearby rivers.
Legends passed down from generation to generation tell of Wakanda's fate as mystical and romantic. It is said that Mingan saw the longing in his dear wifes' eyes to return to the sea, and takes her back, in hopes to restore their love. But the moment she steps into the old waters' of her people, she transforms into a fish, and swims away.
But in reality, a much more sad and deranged story followed the marriage. It came to be that Wakanda makes friends with a local woman from one of the small towns. This woman, although she does not know the true extent of its power, is well versed in witch-craft. Wakanda soon learns of a ritual she might perform, which might return her to the ocean. She steals the book from her friend, and gathers the pieces to create the spell; the body of a fish, a stone of the ocean, a sprig of pine, etc. In the middle of the night, next to the river nearest to her village, she fingers designs in the sand.
Knowing only a little bit of english, she believes that the spell says that she will return to the water, thinking that indicated her village might relocate, or her husband will desire to see her family. But when she utters the mystic words, and places the artifacts among the circles that she had carefully drawn, a great pain erupted from her body. In the sand she twisted, unable to scream. She watched in the moonlight as her body deformed, and escaped her entirely. It wasn't long before her lungs no longer took in air, and her legs no longer moved as separate entities. She just makes it too the water before losing all of her breath, and then watches the world change around her. She remains in the river to watch her husband grow frail, and to see her sons succeed. She keeps the book, and reads it over and over until the pages, wiped clean by the salt and the water, remain strong in her memory. Time passes like nothing to her, for she does not age, or dither away with time. She only grows more grotesque with the passing ages, experimenting with ancient spells in the deep waters of the Pacific.

Two years later…
I couldn't fucking believe it.
My heart was hammering in my chest as I paced the small cage of a dressing room I was in before coming to a standstill in front of the dressing table that had probably been meant for more vain purposes than to become the exhibition place of both my most cherished treasure and my worst nightmare.
Drumming my fingers against the surface of the table, I studied the pages again, memorizing notes I already knew by heart because of an irrational fear of going out there and suddenly forgetting what the hell I was supposed to do.
I didn't want to make a fucking fool of myself—not that night—and not with so much more at stake than my own fucking future.
Tonight was about setting some things straight; about exacting revenge on the Stanley's and the Blake's of this world, who'd chosen to hide the truth even if it meant robbing the world of a true masterpiece.
Because it was a fucking masterpiece.
In the end, the score as it had emerged from the hidden vaults of history only needed some light sprucing up to connect the two parts of the story together and make them shine. Most of the time I'd spent between then and now, though, had been spent adapting the score for a full orchestra and composing the vocals to go along with it. The words that were added would do justice to the notes and their history without taking away from the beauty of the music.
It also happened to be my graduation project, which meant that the who's who of Julliard was going to be in attendance too, as well as the bunch of losers who graduated along with me.
The one thing that set me apart from all the other punks in my class, though, was that instead of having my adapted score performed by the Juilliard Ensemble in one of the school's recital halls, the Metropolitan Opera itself would be performing my piece. And instead of just my friends and family and those of all the fuckers in my year, my performance would be witnessed and judged by a crowd of almost four thousand of New York's richest and finest (or at least most curious) citizens.
Yeah, I'm nervous. Fuck you.
They'd offered it, not because of who my dad was or some other shit like my last name or zip-code. It wasn't even because they thought I was some Mozart-like genius or something. Nope, it was because of whose work was at the base of that night's performance that the conductor and concertmaster had practically begged to be the ones to play La Symphonie d'Amélie on its debut performance.
And I'd let them even if just because of the simple historic fact that they'd been the first ones to perform that other masterpiece of Johannes' as well.
That, and they were The Met and no little fucking upstart composer would ever say no to The Met.
As I stuffed my hands into the pockets of my dress pants in some act of leftover ant-establishment bullshit, my right one brushed along something hard. Frowning I pulled it out of my pocket, my brows immediately smoothing as my eyes fell on the oh so familiar scribble of my girl.
You've got this!
See you afterwards.
Love you.
God, I loved that girl!
"You ready?" True to character, Tanya barged into the dressing room like she owned the place, not stopping to knock or even announce her arrival, the long train of her elaborate stage dress trailing after her.
I nodded, grabbing her hand. "Thanks again for doing this. It means a lot to me." Being the awesome friend she was, Tanya had taken time out of her busy performance schedule to help me out, adding her clear soprano voice to the symphony, enriching the sound and empowering the overwhelming love that spoke out of Johannes' music.
"Are you kidding me?" she joked. "Every music journalist in town is in that room, Edward. Imagine all the exposure I'm going to get from this!"
"Okay," I nodded, my heart hammering to the beat of an imaginary drum as a bodiless voice over the intercom announced that we had one minute until we were supposed to report upstairs.
To the stage.
"Come on, let's go." Using the leverage she had on my hand, she pulled me along, leaving me barely enough time to grab my baton as we went on our way.
To greatness or utter fucking failure.
The minute we walked up the stairs, I could fucking hear it; the sound of people buzzing around, performers tuning their instruments…the fucking anticipation in the air.
It was the life I'd always wanted but only, up until a couple years ago, never thought I'd have in a million years. Standing there, at the cusp of it, though, I realized it had all been worth it.
Every struggle.
Every fight.
Every fucking epiphany Bella had forced from my mind over the past two years.
As much as I hated some of those steps, they'd all paved the fucking way that had led me here. To the life I had.
And to say I was fucking happy was the understatement of the year.
In the past two years, Bella had come to mean more to me than anyone ever. We'd helped each other through our ups and downs like just about every other fucking couple in the world. With the shit we were carrying on our shoulders, things just got a little more real whenever one of us was struggling with something.
We'd both made some big progress, though.
Through therapy and a fucking awesome circle of friends, my girl had come out of her shell a little bit more. Now that Banner and James van Leyden were behind bars, she'd managed to let go of her fear and live a little, even though it was still costing her a lot of fucking strength to put herself out there when she'd much rather stay stuck behind her desk at the Institute.
I, on the other hand, had managed to tone it down a little. Now that my dad and I weren't fighting all the time, I actually found out he was a pretty okay guy. We had spent a lot of time talking the past couple of years—both because my shrink ordered it to get past my anger with both my parents and because I really wanted to get to know the guy.
Bella and I supported each other through thick and thin even though at times I wanted to string her neck and she, in turn, probably felt like smothering me in my sleep. We had each other's backs and that was what was so awesome about being in a relationship; knowing there was someone out there who would love you regardless of whether to not they agreed with you and gave you a kick in the ass whenever they felt you needed it.
And hell, I just really fucking loved her.
If someone had told me five years ago that I would fall in love with a woman and that I'd want to be with her for the rest of my life, I'd probably have decked them. But even if we were nowhere near ready to discuss marriage yet, I already knew deep down that I'd never look at another woman again the way I did my girl.
She was everything to me.
Waking up next to her in our own apartment, still felt like Christmas morning every fucking day. Sure, we fought and there were moments—mostly due to the stress of the projects we were working on—when we hated one another's guts, but at the same time I knew I'd always come home to her.
Then, of course, there was the legacy; the inheritance we'd received almost a century after the legato had lost his life.
Dad had left me in charge of that, stating that he knew almost nothing about the world of music and the way Johannes' musical inheritance should be handled, whereas I had all the knowledge of it as well as the necessary contacts in the field.
No pressure or anything.
So for the past couple of years, I'd been liaising with the Institute—in other words Bella, though sometimes that slimy bastard of a boss of hers had to creep in and remind me that he was watching me—as I worked on the score while carrying the huge responsibility of protecting Johannes's' legacy. They fought hard to do justice to its history and the documentation of what Aro Volturi was looking to market as 'the greatest and most tragic romance that's ever been told'.
And no doubt earn a pretty penny from it.
"One minute," a stagehand announced as we waited. Tanya's hand squeezed mine as the adrenaline that had slowly been building started to erupt.
And then, there was the applause, followed by a slow walk through the sea of performers to the front of the stage while my heart seemed beat out of my chest.
The anonymous mass of people applauding as we took up our spots.
The small reassuring wink from Tanya as I cleared my throat and grabbed my baton.
Squinting, my eyes searched through the bright stage lights until they found Bella; her hands clasped into a tight knot and a soft smile gracing her face as our eyes locked and the world around us fell away.
Go ahead, do what you were born to do, her eyes told me.
My heart clenched. But what if I screw up?
You won't. It's what the whole 'born to do' is all about, remember? Her determined gaze reassured me. Now get your head out of your ass and show them what history has deprived them of for so long.
Fighting a chuckle I nodded my head slightly so that only she would catch its meaning, patting my hand against my pocket to let her know I'd read her note. She was right, just as she had been all along.
I was ready.
I was so fucking ready.
Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath as I steadied my nerves and let the love of some of the people I knew to be seated behind me—Bella, Dad, and my friends—steadying my back as I opened my eyes again, determined to see this through and do justice to the maestro, my great-grandfather, and his legacy.
From the first, soft notes I was carried away. My hands set the tempo for the orchestra as I allowed to music to do its work and enchant the room with the languid lento of the opening movements only to speed up into a lively allegretto as the violins started to take over from the cellos in the string section, soon joined by the flutes as attraction exploded into love.
The brass section added depth as the overture came to a thundering close. At my signal, the music stopped; the caesura lasting only as long as it took me to signal Tanya as well as the strings to be ready as the second movement started off. Violins laced with Tanya's melancholy soprano voice delicately as the love which had seemed so sweet at first, turned out to be unattainable.
The rest of the performance passed in a blur. The adrenaline kept me sharp and focused on the job, the acts of spreading my attention between the different sections of the one hundred piece orchestra, preparing those who would soon be joining the sound as my hands continued to set the tempo. After a while it started to become more natural to me as I felt myself relaxing and actually enjoying myself.
Until the finale, when the stretto of the final movement erupted in the grand finale as the happy ending Johannes and Amelia never had in this life, lingered in the air.
The eruption of the audience as the last note died down almost came as a shock, my mind still wrapped up in the emotion of the music as the first 'bravos' started to sound behind me, forced me back into my role as conductor. I urged the orchestra to stand and receive the praise before allowing the spotlight to fall on Tanya who, in turn, directed it to me.
Blinded by the bright lights, I let it all happen, my body in a state of shock as I stared out and bowed, probably looking like a rabbit caught in headlights.
It wasn't until the curtain started to close for the first curtain call that I saw the two unworldly figures standing in the wings. They were smiling; his face angled towards hers as their hands reached out to touch; the relief of finally being together again made their faces look radiant, even in spite of the burden they carried.
Now that the pieces of Johannes' last ode to the woman he loved were back together again and their great love had finally been revealed to all who cared about those two poor, unfortunate souls and the magic they inspired, their souls would finally be at peace.
After all of our hard work, history's imperfections had finally been wiped away.
The past had been made perfect.
The end.
And that's it. I know I could have written on and on about these two and their struggle to perfect the past but this seemed like a good place to end it. Next week, my new story will take the place of PI and I hope you'll join me for that one as well. It's completely different from this one – no creepy professors and greedy descendants, just a whole lot of relationship angst (and pastry) – but I hope you'll give it a go.
Before I hit the 'complete' button, I'd like to thank my beta-team, Jadsmama and LadySharkey1, from the bottom of my heart for polishing my words and holding my hand as I sometimes struggled through this one. Without those two, writing wouldn't be anywhere near as fun.
And: last but not least: thank you all for walking this crazy path with me, warming my heart with your words of encouragement or challenging my mind with your questions/suggestions. They make me feel proud to be a member of this fandom.
As always…I'd love to hear your thoughts.

sorry in advance (board selection)
200lb, size 14 foot, i have a 158w nitro t1 and am looking to add an all mountain board. I am an intermediate rider with the opportuntiy to ride a bit more than once a week so i am hoping to keep progressing quickly, i ride in the canadian rockies. No desire to jib at this point. I like jumps, steeps, and trees. 3 boards im looking at:
K2 Darkstar 163w
Nitro Team Gullwing 162w (looks good but i kinda wanted to try another brand)
NS Legacy 163 (mid wide i know, but is slightly wider than my current board at both the waist and tip/tail)
Ride Machete 164w
I have no advice for the other three boards but....I know you have BIG feet, but a machete 164w would be HUGE for you. I Ride the Machete 157w at 190 lbs and size 12. Remember that a wide board adds more surface area than a regular board per cm. The Machete is a fabulous board.
. I would size for your weight and work on toe drag by all other means (boots,angles,lifts,hoping).I've got a Rome Machine 159 used, Cheap, if youre interested.
dahhhh, i just bought the machete, i hope it will be fine, i learned on a avalanche 167w so i think it will be ok... if not i will sell it next year i guess lol
if you havent ridden it yet you could certainly return/exchange it, possibly for the 161w. It will probably be the bomb in super deep pow though!! If you're not a jib-rat you might prefer it anyway. The upside is due to the lowrise it rides like a shorter board anyway... enjoy

He further said that today the mines of only four districts of Jalandhar, Ajitgarh, Kapurthala and Hoshiarpur were auctioned and there have been bids of Rs 14, 90, 88, 918 against the reserve price of Rs 8, 90, 97, 180 in the second phase.

Nintendo Earnings: What to Watch
Nintendo is expected to report Wednesday that it swung to an operating loss for its fiscal third quarter ended Dec. 31 on dismal sales of its flagship Wii U videogame console, adding to pressure for a shift in strategy.
Market expectations are for a quarterly operating loss of ¥2.2 billion ($21.3 million), reversing from an operating profit of ¥23.30 billion a year earlier. Following disappointing year-end sales, the company was forced to slash its full-year forecast earlier this month to an operating loss of ¥35 billion from a profit of ¥100 billion.
Nintendo has so far argued that its success is based on its ability to build its own hardware and provide a gaming experience not available elsewhere. It says that sharing that experience on other platforms may erase the company's unique edge, discourage people from buying Nintendo devices, and kill its game franchises.

Serving New Braunfels and Comal County since 1852 50 centsSupreme Court knocks holes in Boerne Wall Bulverde could have backup plan By Ron Maloney Staff Writer BULVERDE — In the wake of a Texas Supreme Court decision that could break apart the Boerne Wall, Bulverde officials Friday were not saying much. Behind the scenes, they County working to rebuild reserves could be dusting off a three-y«ar-old backup plan they hope will keep San Antonio from annexing any more land deep in western Comal County — a "Bulverde Wall" built largely through the work of former city officials Stan Blaylock and Bob Hieronymus. "At the moment, I cannot comment on that," Bulverde Mayor Bill Cole said Friday night. "We've got about 90 days to put all of our ducks in a row and find out exactly what's going on. Undoubtedly, there will be some response." The "Boerne Wall" is a strip of properties along Ammann and Blanco roads in western Comal County. The owners of that land, late in 1987, voluntarily joined Boerne's extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) days and, in some cases, hours before San Antonio's annexation of a 1,000-foot strip of land on the west side of Camp Bulbs was to take effect. San Antonio's ETJ extends five miles beyond its city limits, so the annexation would have enabled the city to extend its ETJ deep into Kendall and Comal counties north of Texas 46. Boerne's annexations that created the "Boerne Wall" blocked San Antonio's move. The cities have been fighting over the issue ever since. Until Thursday, Boerne prevailed over its giant neighbor to the south in every court that heard the issue. San Antonio appealed all the way to the Texas Supreme Court, which heard arguments on the matter last September.See BOERNE WALL/8A By Ron Maloney Staff Writer Comal County will issue tax bonds to rebuild its cash reserves to $4 million. The county will issue $1.7 million in low-interest bonds to bring the reserves back to what they were before the 2002 flood. During the last year, the county made several big-ticket purchases for parking, the Commissioners' Court building and the property on which the new home of the county Extension office and the junior livestock association Is being built. Bonds have been issued for the courthouse and the parking areas. The county also took a $1.3 million hit for its share of cleaning up after the 2002 flood and buying flood-damaged properties. County Judge Danny Scheel said Thursday the county must now rebuild its reserves as quickly as possible. "We don't know when we'll have our next situation like the flood," Scheel said. "We were fortunate we had $4 million to draw from for state and federal benefits that had local match requirements. A lot of counties were unable to participate. Th wait until an event happens, and then try real quickly to pass a bond issue is not feasible. It's wise to take advantage of the low-interest rates to be proactive," Scheel said. He said the county could build back its reserves without feeling an extra tax bite. Now, the county's total debt is $8,832,000 — $98.05 for every county resident, Scheel said. All of the debt is in short-term bonds that will be paid back within the next See RESERVES/8A Two killed in Bulverde accident By Ron Maloney Staff Writer SAN ANTONIO — Two boys remained in serious condition Friday at University Hospital, when* they are being treated for major injuries suffered in a (Gonial County accident that killed two men. The boys, ages 13 and 8, were passengers in a pickup truck driven by their father, Tracy L. Taylor, 40, of Damon. Their brother, IO, was listed in good condition Friday. Two Edinburg men involved in the accident, Juan G. Arguelles, 34, and Alejan dro Ramirez, 30, were killed. Taylor and his wife, Kim, 36, were treated at University Hospital and released. Department of Public Safety Trooper Russell Nesbitt reported that Arguelles and Ramirez were eastbound in a 2002 Chevrolet 1500 pickup at 6:30 p.m. Thursday when it hydroplaned and drifted into the westbound lane in front of Taylor's 1997 Ford F250 pickup, about one mile west of Bulverde on Tbxas 46. Nesbitt reported that Taylor, an off-duty Sugar Ijand police officer, swerved to avoid the other vehicle, but struck it anyway. Both trucks came to a stop on the westbound shoulder of the road. Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Susan Dvorak pronounced Arguelles and Ramirez dead at the scene at 7:45 p.m. Friday, an official with the Sugar I^and Police Department confirmed Taylor's employment, but offered little other information. "He and his wife have both been released from the hospital but are there now with their boys, who are still being treated," the official said.Inside Classifieds............. 3-6B Comics ......... 6A Crossword.............6A Dear Abby.............3A Forum................4A Sports...............1,3B Today ............. 2A TV...................2B www.herald-zeitung.com 56825 00001 'I Former CHS student leads Education Agency By Sean Bowlin Staff Writer A Canyon High School graduate has been appointed by Gov.

The concession/press box structure that stands behind home plate is condemned. The bullpens and parts of the diamond are overgrown with grass, and wire fencing surrounding the field Is warped. Wood on the dugouts and bleachers is warped, cracked and has only flakes of paint. The field is now the first official field of the New Braunfels Bombers, a baseball league of more than IOO girls, ages 7 to 18. "They get to call something home," Bombers President Scott Smith said. They signed a three-year least* agreement with the city earlier this week for priority use of the field. In exchange, the Bombers hope to turn the field into the best in New Braunfels, Smith said. Some adults already have started to tear down some fencing, and next week, work will start on the field itself. Over the next three years, the Bombers will reconstruct the infield; resod the outfield; rebuild the dugouts, bullpens and bleachers; install a state-of-the-art scoreboard, sound system and sprinkler systems; and renovate the press box to include locker rooms. Tile softball field will be modeled after the Texas State University-San Marcos complex.

To James B. Fry [1]
Provost-Marshal-General: Washington February 6, 1865.
These gentlemen distinctly say to me this morning that what they want is the means from your office of showing their people that the quota assigned to them is right. They think it will take but little time---two hours, they say. Please give them double the time and every facility you can. Yours, truly, A. LINCOLN.
February 6, 1865.
The Provost-Marshal brings this letter back to me and says he cannot give the facility required without detriment to the service, and thereupon he is excused from doing it. A. LINCOLN.
[1] OR, III, IV, 1142. Following receipt of Lincoln's endorsement of February 4, supra, James B. Fry wrote the Committee of the Board of Supervisors of New York on February 5 that having laid their request before the president and having ``received their instructions to this effect, I beg you will excuse me from giving time to an investigation into the December assignment.'' (Ibid., p. 1128).
To this letter the committee replied on the same date that they thought the figures necessary, ``in order to show the occasion of the increase of the quotas assigned in January,'' but that they ``desire now to be allowed to copy from the records the enrollment of the remaining Congressional districts of the loyal States. . . .'' (Ibid., pp. 1129-30).
Fry replied on the same day, quoting Lincoln's and Stanton's endorsement on the committee's letter of February 4, supra (ibid., 1132-33). On February 6, the committee interviewed the president and submitted their case in writing:
``To His Excellency the President of the United States:
``Under your call of Dec. 19, 1864, for 300,000 men, there was assigned to the County of New-York, on the 23d of December, a quota of 4,423 men.
``On the 24th of January, 1865, our quota was increased to 21,019 men.
``We ask:
``1. Inasmuch as the increase in our quota is due in great part to a reassignment of quotas after the correction of the enrollment in other districts, we think it but fair that our quota should be reassigned after the correction of our enrollment. We ask, therefore, that upon the completion of the correction of our enrollment, which will be in about twenty days, our quota be reassigned.
``2. In case our County shall keep her Provost-Marshals reasonably busy mustering in recruits, that the Provost Marshals be not withdrawn from that duty to enforce the draft.
``3. To satisfy our constituents as to the justice of this increase of our quota, we ask leave to copy the figures on which the quotas of December and January are based. As the quota of each district depends on the figures for every other district, we shall be obliged to copy the figures of all the districts of the loyal States. This we will do at any hour of day or night which may be least inconvenient to the War Department, and we will do it in less than two hours.'' (New York Tribune, February 9, 1865. The original document has not been found and does not appear in the Official Records.)
Page 263The committee's account of Lincoln's response is as follows:
``Although your Committee received no positive assurance from the President to the two first points presented to him, they were led to believe that His Excellency saw their force and justice.
``In regard to the third point, however, in which our correspondence with the Provost-Marshal General had been so unsatisfactory, he remarked that it had been represented to him that we desired these figures for the purpose of showing that the Government was wrong. Your Committee assured him, however, that their only object was to be put in possession of the data on which they might satisfy themselves and their constituents that the quota assigned them was just.'' (Ibid.)
During the interview, Lincoln gave the committee the letter to Fry (as above). Upon receiving Lincoln's letter, Fry went to the president and obtained the endorsement excusing him at Lincoln's request. Fry addressed two further letters to the committee on February 6, refusing their request and dismissing the matter with the statement, ``I have no further time at my disposal to devote to this subject.'' (OR, III, IV, 1144).
Much disgruntled, the committee returned to New York and published their report, including the correspondence exchanged with Provost Marshal Fry (New York Tribune, February 9, 1865).

"You're dealing with the most expensive thing a person will ever buy," intoned a bloke at the start of Under Offer: Estate Agents on the Job (BBC2). Ah. It's one of those shows where they tell you things that even children know and spew numbers out of context in the belief that a number with meaning never sounds quite as large as a number from which the meaning has been removed. And then Lewis Rossiter, the agent from Exeter, threw back his head and howled like a wolf. It didn't sound like a documentary; it sounded like a comedy doing an impression of a documentary. Without the jokes.
The weak-minded high concept was to take the most expensive estate agent in the country – Gary Hersham, from Beauchamp Estates – and track downwards, via Rossiter, and Dave Simms in Birmingham, to Lynne Blaney in County Durham, where she once put a house up for auction at the starting price of a quid. The interesting counterpoint would have been between average prices in each area – a house in Sydenham for £900k that in Spennymoor wouldn't get any viewings at £200k. Estate agents in the south-east are in a genuinely strange position, with very little stock. What they do have, they believe to be overpriced. They do have moral conflicts and dark nights of the soul, and some of them are rapacious.
This contrast, though – Gary selling central London townhouses for £39m while Lynne has to drive around in a Reliant Robin with a house advertised in the back windscreen – is just pantomime, an act of seemingly deliberate depoliticisation, a bland us-and-them fest, levened only very slightly by borderline-human moments. Lewis, presumably having been asked to describe himself in under 10 words, said: "I'm the guy that's sick in the urinal." It's hard to completely resist that kind of self-deprecation. But then, describing his office structure, he joked: "No one's above anyone. Although, technically, I am above them because I'm the manager." One of the two women working under him laughed, that horrible sound of mirth bought with a paycheck, and his charm melted away like a urinal tablet under a stream.
Derek Jacobi narrated a script thick with cliche; amazed it didn't stick in his throat, I worried that it might coagulate there.
A homebuyer talked about her hopes and dreams, and her need for a garden because of her two sons. Whenever people talk about fresh air as a gender imperative, I immediately file them under "idiot", which is probably unfair. Happily, she also did a kind of British Military Fitness victory dance when her sale went through.
When it becomes clear that a programme fails to offer any real insight into the human condition – as was the case here, roughly four minutes in – you start to ask, what did they think they were trying to achieve? With their pointless pratfalls (oh! He's forgotten his key! How will he get in to show people round?) and concocted betrayals. Why, they were going for the inside scoop, of course: bastards! They use this lens because it makes the room look bigger. And gems were proffered from the agents themselves, such as "any time they start referring to the house as theirs, that can only be a good thing." It's part look at the crook, part rehabilitate him. That agenda is so 80s I didn't know where to look; nobody thinks of estate agents as the people in control of this runaway train.
It is impossible for people to spend any real time in front of a camera without the occasional glimpse of empathy. Lynne talks about how heart-rending it is to walk into a repossessed house, with someone's coffee cup and hair-straighteners where they left them. You realise how much being in a private space forces you to identify with its occupant. They may have included this insight by accident.
Ian Hislop's Olden Days (BBC2) explored the space between yesterday and 10,000 years ago, an English fascination with indeterminate past, which may or may not be true and generally isn't. "Many retain that deep fascination for a heightened past … including me," he said. I wasn't sure whether he was one of the many, or part of the past. I found it comfortingly engaging, like going to the pub with an uncle who might be a bit pedantic, but at least likes a drink.

A departure regulator for closely spaced parallel runways
Robeson, Isaac J.
MetadataShow full item record
Increased efficiency at airports is necessary to reduce delays and fuel consumption. Many of the busiest airports in the nation have at least one pair of closely spaced parallel runways (CSPRs), defined by a separation of less than 2500 ft, with one runway dedicated to arrivals and the other to departures. CSPRs experience a large decrease in capacity under instrument conditions because they can no longer operate independently. In order to mitigate this decrease in capacity and to increase efficiency, proposed herein is a departure regulator for runways so configured, along with a plan of study to investigate the effects of this regulator. The proposed departure regulator makes use of data from precision tracking systems such as ADS-B to issue automated or semi-automated departure clearances. Assuming sequential departure separations are sufficient for clearance, the regulator will automatically issue, or advise the controller to issue, the departure clearance as soon as the arrival on the adjacent runway has descended below its decision height. By issuing the departure clearance earlier, the departure regulator reduces the gap between a pair of arrivals that is required to clear a departure. By decreasing the gap, the regulator increases the number of opportunities where a departure clearance can be issued, given a particular arrival stream. A simulation models the effects of the regulator and quantifies the resulting increases in capacity. The simulation results indicate that all forms of the regulator would provide significant gains of between 14% and 23% in capacity over the current operating paradigm. The results also indicate that the capacity gains are greatest at high arrival rates. Therefore, implementation of the departure regulator could significantly decrease the congestion at many major airports during inclement weather.

travel lightly,
the old man instructs machine;
light years passed --
towards the white horizon.
distant voices
travel swiftly, and
the black monolith of man
constructs playgrounds;
to blast towards the sun.
whisper, whisper
this mysterious land;
vast discovery for all,
but what will succumb?
the deadly hollows,
or time burnt in the sun...

Apple, Publishers Make Offers to Settle EU Ebook Investigation
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
They offered to let Amazon and other retailers to sell ebooks at a discount for two years
An Apple ebook deal may be in the works after a long 10 months of investigation by the European Union (EU).
Apple and four major publishers that are being investigated have started offering antitrust concessions in an effort to ward off fines and further trouble. The four publishers are
Harper Collins (News Corp., U.S.A.),
Simon & Schuster (CBS Corp., U.S.A.),
Hachette Livre (Lagardère Publishing France) and
Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holzbrinck (owner of inter alia Macmillan, Germany).
Penguin (Pearson Group, United Kingdom) is also being investigated, but did not submit a proposal.
One offer from Apple and the four publishers was to allow Amazon and other retailers to sell ebooks at a discount for two years. The Commission is now looking into whether these concessions are enough by taking opinions from the industry.
Last December,
European Commission opened a formal antitrust investigation
into whether the five international e-book publishers had been practicing anti-competitive tactics with the help of Apple and its e-book store iBooks
. More specifically, the Commission wanted a closer look at the agency pricing model that the publishers adopted with Apple, which allows publishers to set a price for their ebooks and Apple takes a 30 percent cut. However, the publishers can't sell those same books on other retail sites like Amazon for a lower price.
This was not only seen as anticompetitve by the European Commission, but also the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
DOJ sued Apple and the publishers
in April 2012 over the agency pricing model.
Harper Collins,
Simon & Schuster and
Hachette Livre decided to settle the case with the U.S. DOJ.
However, Apple,
Penguin and Macmillan have decided to fight the antitrust case.
The U.S. bench trial in the Apple e-book case will start
