Getting there
With its unspoilt sandy coast, its tranquil green interior and its dramatic highlands, Hérault in Languedoc offers a remarkable range of landscapes and activities. And thanks to the introduction of low-cost flights, the region has become increasingly accessible from the UK over the past few years. Montpellier, capital of the Languedoc, is the main hub in the east; while Béziers and Cap d'Agde provides excellent links in the west.
Béziers-Cap d'Agde airport (00 33 4 67 80 99 09; beziers.aeroport.fr) is ideally located for very easy access to both the coast and the mountains of the Haut-Languedoc. What's more, this is a small, rural airport so you may well feel you're on holiday even as you step off the plane. From the UK, it is served by Ryanair (0871 246 000; ryanair.com) from Luton and Bristol.
Montpellier's Méditerranée airport (00 33 4 67 20 85 00; montpellier.aeroport.fr) is well positioned for access to the eastern parts of the district. From the UK, it is served by Ryanair from Leeds Bradford and by easyJet (0871 244 2366; easyjet.com) from Gatwick.
Other international arrival points include Marseille, Nîmes and Perpignan from which there are good rail and road connections.
Access from Paris Gare du Lyon is quick, thanks to services via Lyon and Nîmes. The service from Paris to Montpellier's Saint-Roch station takes around three hours and 15 minutes. An onward service to Béziers is offered, with around six direct trains a day, the full trip from Paris lasts just over four hours.
Fast trains also call at Sète and Agde. Return tickets from London St Pancras can be arranged through Eurostar (08705 186 186; eurostar.com) to stations in Hérault from £101. From 10 July to 11 September, a summer service of direct trains operates between St Pancras and Avignon-Centre, with easy connections to Hérault.
From the town of Orange, the A9 motorway runs from the north-east to the south-west, linking Montpellier and Béziers and allowing quick access to the coast. If you're arriving from the Channel ports, however, the most scenic approach to Hérault in Languedoc is along the A75 motorway that runs through the Massif Central; Dieppe and Le Havre are particularly well placed for avoiding the congestion around Paris.
Getting around
Rail services run from Montpellier to Frontignan, Sète, Agde, Vias, Béziers, Bédarieux and Lunel. There are 68 local bus lines in the region: consult Hérault Transport (00 33 825 34 01 34; herault-transport.fr) for more details.
From the sea to the mountains, a car offers the most convenient means of exploring this varied region. Car-rental options available from Béziers-Cap d'Agde airport include Hertz (08708 44 88 44; hertz.com) which has a rate of £310 for a week. For route planning visit quelleroute.com

Almost to the Truth
Be safe. Her thought echoes through space, at the very instant he reappered from wherever he went. He turns and looked at her, and falls forward through the plane on which they stand. he disappears from her field of vision, but she can hear he voice through the space of light and music.
Why are you here? Why do you torture me in such a way? You mess with my mind causing my thoughts to remain divided. Why do you toy with the heart of those who care? Why do you toy with me, someone who can understand?
She hears and sees countless questions, flying through the space around her. His voice echoes forever, but his tone is soft. She knows he is curious, but she cant be honest with him about her reasons. She knows he wont hurt her, and that he only wants to help, but she cant bring herself to trust him. His voice becomes quieter and fainter, slowly fading to nothing. The music is gone. The light grows less glorious, and his body reappears in the place he fell. the darkness grew less again, and more images of him disappeared. His face is dripping sweat as he stands and faces her
She is still here. Why doesnt she come closer and explain why she is here? The echoes reverberate through his mind, kept from her senses. The last confrontation with his mind was harder than the first, much harder. He fought with his reflection, in a literal sense. His frustration was released, and he was able to beat on his reflection as hard as he desired, releasing the anger and frustration of many years. The part of himself that wanted to destroy everything had been granted its wish for a time and would be quite for a while longer. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he turned away from her to face the last of the fragments. He thinks to himself, and away he goes. He runs full sprint at the closest reflection and tackles it to through to the shifted vie
And he leaves her again. She watches the space where he left the spark, and observes a shift in the dark place. Surrounded by light, the pillar of darkness seemed a tangible thing. Moving carefully closer to the pillar, she reaches out and tries to touch it. as her fingers are about to touch the darkness, he appears behind her. Surprised, she pulls her hand back and turns to face him as he touches her shoulder. She looks into his eyes and sees his unspoken question. She turns away and begins to speak. She explains that she wished she was strong enough to help him, and that she was sad because of that. She turns back to him and watches his face, hoping that he will understand. But as she watches, his face becomes as stone. She watches his eyes

We thank Dr. Kothari for commenting on our editorial in CHEST (March 2008).1 We have initially proposed a formula allowing mean pulmonary artery pressure estimation from systolic pulmonary artery pressure in adults.2 This concept has been recently confirmed by others,3 and essentially similar results have been also documented in children.4 We fully agree with the author's statement that the formula may fail in infants with unrestrictive septal defect with low pulmonary vascular resistance and high pulmonary blood flow, resulting in a 90/20 mm Hg systolic/diastolic pulmonary artery pressure. More generally, we are advocating caution when using our formula in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with "ventricularization" of the pulmonary artery pressure curve, ie, disproportionately low diastolic pulmonary artery pressure. This may include not only the infants described by Dr. Kothari but also patients with severe pulmonary valve insufficiency, and patients with massive proximal pulmonary embolism,5,6 as previously discussed in our initial article.2 Under such conditions, one may observe deviation from the tight relationship between mean and systolic pulmonary artery pressure previously documented in most patients with various forms of pulmonary hypertension.2–4

Since the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) was signed in Washington, D.C. in 1973, there have been incredible strides in wildlife protection—as well as perilous decisions that put a number of beleaguered species' very survival in question. Some of the world's most iconic wild animals are protected from over-exploitation by CITES and the national laws around the world that implement the Treaty. When the Parties to CITES met in Johannesburg, South Africa this fall, there was little question that the stakes were high.

The following story appeared in the Spring/Summer 2016 issue of Born Free USA's magazine, Animal Issues Digest.

A year after the now-famous Cecil the lion was slaughtered by the now-infamous dentist, Walter Palmer, we are still working vigorously to dramatically decrease, and someday end, thrill killing. Those "sport" hunters who kill for amusement do so callously, with little regard for the suffering of individual animals; little vision for the long-term viability of wildlife populations or the robustness of the ecosystems in which they live; and little concern for the development of local communities, whose members share wild animals' habitat.

Research by Group 1 Software - which helps banks and utilities to target marketing campaigns - showed banks made profits of £75 per account holder in 2005 compared with £66.20 in 2004.
The 13% hike came from overdraft charges and penalty fees on bank accounts and credit cards as well as better targeting of customers, according to Group 1 Software.
And the figure outstripped the £59.10 surplus per customer made by utilities firms, and was also higher than the £50.90 made by retailers, the £39.40 by mobile phone companies, and £35.10 by general insurers.
Andrew Greenyer, vice president of international marketing at Group 1 Software, said: "Excessive overdraft penalty charges and late payment fees on credit cards contributed in part to the increase."
But he added that "much of the increase" was because of "vastly improved means of communicating with the customer" through targeted mailing and improved product offers.
The comments came as UK banks reported record results for the first half of 2006.
This week has already seen HSBC post an 18% hike in half-year profits to £6.71 billion while Halifax Bank of Scotland said its profits were up 17% to £2.65 billion.
The rest of the Big Five - Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds TSB - are expected to follow suit in the next few days as they remain on track to eclipse the £34 billion they made last year. Of the £34 billion, Group 1 Software said the UK banking sector made pre-tax profits of £10.26 billion from retail operations alone in 2005.
The profits came from overdraft charges, penalty fees for late payments and interest on current accounts, credit cards, savings accounts, mortgages and Isas.Reuse content

Chapter 7
When I entered, Jack sat up from where he'd been lying on his bed. He looked surprised to see me.
'Say you've changed your mind.'
"I've changed my mind," I said, in the dull monotone with which Ross had answered me while I'd controlled his mind.
"About what? Are you okay? You look hypnotised or something."
'Say you're fine and then tell him you want to forget me.'
"I'm fine. I want to forget Ross."
Jack looked confused. "But you said you didn't want to."
'Tell him again.' Ross's mental voice was insistent. 'You've changed your mind.'
"I've changed my mind."
"Rosa, has he done something to you?"
'I knew something like this was going to happen. Try and sound... insistent yet sure as you say "There's nothing wrong with me".'
I heard some of the feeling return to my voice as I repeated, "There's nothing wrong with me."
Jack looked dubious. He stood up and walked slowly towards me. He gazed searchingly into my eyes. "Are you sure?"
'Reply "Yes".'
"Rosa, do you mind if I read your mind a second?"
'Tell him yes. Say that would be invasive of him. Try to sound as if you mean it.'
"Yes, actually," I replied. "It would be invasive of you to do so." There was unmistakeable conviction in my tone.
"Oh. Maybe you are okay, after all. Sorry, darl- sorry, I haven't got used to the fact we're not together anymore - sorry."
'Give him a hug. Tell him you still love him. Sound as if you still love him.'
I put my arms around Jack. "I still love you," I murmured close to his ear. He hugged me back, fiercely protective as he had been in the store today.
"Oh, Rosa, but you're Ross's."
'Remind him that he said it would be so easy for him to make you forget me. Maintain the emotion in your voice.'
"You told me it would be so easy for you to make me forget Ross."
"Oh, but that was wrong of me."
'Say "No it wasn't".'
"No, it wasn't."
Jack let go of me. He pushed me away slightly so he could gaze into my eyes. "And you're sure that's what you want?"
'Answer "Yes".'
The pressure over my thoughts eased up again as Jack turned to get the amber from on his bed. I felt Ross's fatigue from totally subduing me.
'No,' the feeble part of me which was able to think again protested. 'No! I love you, Ross. Don't do this to me.'
'Stay quiet.' There was something else in his tone which added to the effect of my will being overridden. It was fierce anger and an authoritativeness that meant there would be trouble if I didn't obey him.
I tried a different approach. 'Jack!' I thought: weakly yet desperately. 'Jack, listen to my thoughts!'
'Do you never give up? I let you think because it's pointless to resist me.'
Once again, Ross completely took over my mind.
Jack had turned to me. "Rosa? Did you just try to send me your thoughts?"
"No," I replied.
"Okay," he said, but was frowning slightly. He was holding his amber out, pointing it at me. "What did you want to forget? Just that you were Ross's rose-dove?"
'Say "Yes and it might be good for me to forget any moment I've spent alone with him since after I fainted yesterday.'
I repeated what Ross said.
Jack's frown deepened. "That specific, eh? Rosa, I might ...," he hesitated. "I might have to hypnotise you..."
'Look grim but nod and say "Okay".'
I did as Ross told me to.
Jack sat down on his bed. "I don't know if I could do that to you," he murmured, looking at the floor. He glanced up at me. "You'd be ... totally under my control. If I made one tiny slip up..."
Upon Ross's next mental command, I sat down next to Jack, stroked his shoulder and told him that I trusted him.
"You won't slip up," I repeated after Ross. "You care about me."
It's exactly what I would've said if I had wanted this. There was no doubt that Jack totally believed I was doing this out of my own free will.
Jack sighed. "Okay." He hugged me before standing up. "Stay here while I go and ask Ross for his pendulum. It's lucky he has one."
As soon as Jack had left the room, Ross let my thoughts go, only to suddenly take over my thoughts again with a powerful command of 'Sleep!' All his thoughts seemed to be behind this command, so it was too strong for me to have even a hope of resisting him. I was forced into unconsciousness as the thick fog blanketed over my consciousness, a tremendous pressure that literally pushed me under.
I was woken up by Jack's gentle caress on my hair. He wore a loving look that had been more commonplace on his face during our relationship.
'How are you still in my mind?' I thought as I felt Ross's presence in my mind, ready to take over if I decided to protest again. I was filled with a sort of dull feeling of being resigned to my fate.
He sounded as if he were concentrating immensely on something as he replied, 'There's a sort of invisible rope tying our minds together. It's so deep that it's part of our subconscious, but I found the end in your mind while you were asleep. I held onto that even while you were waking up.'
I was horrified that he'd been in my mind while I was asleep and seen the deepest parts of my mind that even I didn't have access to, but Jack was looking worried and I didn't think I could stand being under Ross's power again.
"Are you okay, Rosa? You look pale and scared."
"Oh, I'm fine," I said, forcing myself to smile.
"So, I'm going to put you in a trance and ma- help [he seemed repulsed by the idea of controlling me and forcing me to do things] you forget what you wanted to, and then I'll wake you up and everything should work. Now, I can't guarantee this will work. I've never hypnotised someone before, and I think you'll need to be in a fairly deep trance for me to ... influence your memories. If this doesn't work, I absolutely refuse to try again, okay?"
I nodded. I smiled sadly to myself at his want to protect me and look after me. Maybe this would be a good thing. All I'd ever get from Ross was coldness.
'Maybe I'll get Jack to make me forget, too,' Ross mused.
"Okay," Jack said, sounding as if he were steeling himself. "If you just get comfy and relax, you'll go into a trance more readily. You won't feel it so much then."
I felt my brow furrow. "Feel it?"
Jack nodded. "I've heard that the second before you go into the trance, you feel your will surrender to the hypnotist. If you relax, it'll just be like going to sleep."
"Oh, okay, then. Um, can I lie down?"
Jack smiled. "Sure. Do you want me to light a scented candle or anything?"
"Um, do you have one that smells of lavender?"
Jack nodded. "Yeah. I'll go and get that. It's downstairs so try and get as comfortable as possible while I'm fetching it. The main thing is not to worry about what we're about to do. You sleep dreamlessly all the time. This will be just like all those times you went to sleep and woke up feeling as if no time had elapsed."
I smiled. "You're making me feel sleepy already, Jack," I murmured, lying down on his soft duvet. It helped that the atmosphere of Jack's bedroom was the warm, familiar one in which we'd kissed and shared beautiful moments of intimacy.
Jack smiled back and stroked my shoulder before leaving the room. I closed my eyes and let myself fall asleep again as exhaustion overwhelmed me.
I was woken up by someone gently patting my shoulder. I opened my eyes to see cerulean eyes with inconceivably colossal amounts of sadness in them.
"Ross?" I asked sleepily. "Thought you wanted this."
Ross nodded. "Doesn't mean I won't miss you though."
I recognised the emotion in his voice. "Crazy day again?"
"Yeah. Last one for a while though, eh?"
I nodded. "Maybe it's not healthy to be startled by your rose-dove so much."
"Can I ... can I kiss you?"
"You need to ask?"
"Well, I didn't want to make the next few moments harder for you."
"You'll make them easier. I'll be more comfortable."
"But sadder" he pointed out.
I shrugged. "Nothing could be worse than thinking your kingfisher hates you."
"I don't hate you, Rosa; I just can't deal with strong emotions yet."
"Well, you won't have to, will you? You're taking the easy way out of this situation. I can promise you, though, that we will return to these circumstances and running away again will just be useless."
Ross sighed. "I know."
"Did you want to kiss me?" I asked stonily.
I saw a flash of pain in his eyes at the knowledge I wanted him to get this over and done with. He nodded, looking even sadder.
At the touch of his lips against mine, though, I forgot my coldness. My reluctance disappeared as the wall of coldness I had put up around my heart literally caved in, the way my will had done; except that this sensation was not unpleasant. I felt my resistance change to become a resistance against him breaking away rather than against feeling this way towards him. I would have collapsed in towards him if I hadn't been lying down. All I could think now was 'Please don't let him let go. I love him. I love him.'
I could feel him desperately trying not to give in to the moment as the wide space in my mind told me we were telepathically connected again.
'It's impossible not to surrender, Ross,' I thought to him.
He sounded helpless as he thought, 'I'm not giving in.'
'Okay,' I thought, doubting he could hold on to his desire to hold out for too much longer. 'Your choice.'
I felt waves of his love for me trying to escape the wall he'd put up, but he held fast.
He wasn't holding back with the kissing though. Although all his thoughts were concentrated on staying slightly detached, he was kissing me as if his life depended upon it. Even if he was preventing the emotion in his mind from reaching me, the emotion from the physical action of sharing that sweet something which you uniquely did with your lover and encouraged the bond that grew between you was pouring forth straight into my heart. The love and the longing to never let go took the direct route to the deepest, most tender part of it. I could feel it changing me: pressing the buttons which would make me give it up to him, and I did give it to him. I surrendered my heart completely and utterly to Ross.
Ross seemed to despair when he realised he'd unwittingly conquered my heart. I felt him trying to give it back to me with his mind, trying to push the love that was sliding towards him back to where he thought it belonged; but in reality, it was going where it belonged and so despaired at being pushed away.
'You can't give it back!' I thought to him. 'Not even I can stop it giving itself to you.'
'Rosa, it's going to break if I take it!'
'It's going to break if you don't take it. I'll feel the devastation of unrequited love!'
Ross's tactics changed so fast I barely detected the change in his thoughts when he began to shout 'Jack!'
He pushed away from me, while looking as if he was trying to hold on. I hadn't noticed him sitting down, pulling me up and holding me to him.
"Stop!" I yelled. "Don't call him!"
Ross looked as if he were going to break his own heart as he took my hand and said, "I'm sorry, Rosa."
"No!" I felt his thoughts rush into my mind and flatten out over mine. He maintained the control over me as he let go of my hand.
"Jack, where are you, damn it? Rosa's going to be depressed if you look like you don't want to be together again!"
Jack appeared in the doorway. He looked extremely confused. He was holding a box of candles.
"What are you doing here, Ross? Get out or you'll make this harder for her."
Ross stood up and began to walk out, looking relieved.
"Oh, make sure you don't use too many candles or you'll knock her out," he stopped to call as he reached the doorway.
"I know that. Now leave us alone. She'll hate you again when this is over."
I felt tears on my face but there was no emotion in my mind. Even the little part of me that would have been sobbing quietly if not for Ross was under his control.
Jack looked sympathetic. I felt the mental pressure ease slightly and then go away completely. Before it was gone though, I felt part of Ross's mind give a strangled sob.
I said nothing as I lay down once more. My previous coldness returned, and I waited patiently while Jack put the candles on the floor, knelt down, set them out on the floor nearest my nose and lit them.
The lavender scent wafted up to me and soothed me, chasing away my anger. Even the iciness disappeared as Jack smiled at me to assure me that everything was going to be okay. I almost felt like I didn't need Ross, staring into those warm brown eyes which had so enchanted me before this whole set of disastrous events had begun.
"Would you like to remember witches?" Jack asked.
"Um, no thank you."
To my amusement, he pulled out a notepad on which he had written something. He added to what he had written and grinned at me. He handed it to me, saying, "Do you want to check that's all okay?"
It was a list of suggestions. There was the suggestion to forget every moment I'd spent alone with Ross after I'd fainted yesterday and to forget all of today, to believe we were still going out and finally, to forget all about witches and magic and return to the simple outlook I'd had on life before Jack's birthday.
"Could you make me ignore Ross for about a month?" I asked, quite seriously.
Jack grimaced. "Ignoring is something different in hypnosis. It means you'd never notice him even if he was shouting at you."
"Ah, maybe not then."
Jack smiled. "Shall we start, then?"
I nodded, smiling back.

TripAdvisor Reviews Vacationer Motel Kalispell
Travel Blogs from Kalispell
Is it hot enough for you?
... and Sun Valley - also well known US ski resorts - contrasted sharply with their Colorado peers, and in Ketchum, we were able to spend a couple of hours at the Sun Valley Arts Festival - the work by local and interstate artists was incredible (and humbling!) We also took time to salute one of Ketchum's better known residents, Ernest Hemingway, who is buried in the local cemetery.
Wow!!! What a Couple of Crazy Days!!!
... away and before we pulled out of St. Mary we had a destination.
It took 2 hours to get to our new temporary home for thenight. We pulled in at 7 PM and
immediately felt welcome. Apparently this small campground is frequented by the same people who stay here all summer long….we got the only unoccupied space. They helped us pull in and set up and after dinner we hung out and told stories ...
Day 30 - Going to the Sun - Best Ride Ever!
... do here. But if you own a motorcycle, you must ride the Going to the Sun Road, it is one hell of an experience. Tomorrow, we have a boat ride planned in the morning on Lake MacDonald. Hopefully we'll get some good pictures. We then continue our trip west, and a little south as we make our way to Idaho and a little whitewater rafting on the Salmon River by the end of the week. 145.1 miles today 6763.2 miles total 4.571 gallons today 162.878 gallons ...
Dinner in Kalispell
... a former neighbor whom we have known since she was an infant! Katie is Erin's age, and we have a small package to also deliver from her parents. Pat and John, who still live down the street! Hope I don't somehow lose any more text. Somehow I lost the text and had to recreate all of the earlier Glacier entry! Boo!!! Next from Seattle! ...
Our last day in Montana
... evergreens everywhere and every once in a while you'd see a lake/river.
We also spent some time in the little town of West Glacier doing a little touristy sightseeing/shopping. The town is really cute and we watched some of the folks who were rafting trying to maneuver the rapids.
Went back to the campground early and just relaxed outside and enjoying the scenary around us. It was just so relaxing.

text: It was a case of "He said she said."That's how the attorney for John Auclair desribed the sexual assault case that put him behind bars.She argued to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court in Bangor today that the lower courts made a mistake by not allowing the jury to hear certain statements.John Auclair of Bangor was convicted last fall of sexually assaulting a woman. Now his attorney is appealing that conviction to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court."Exactly what he said and exactly what she said is of criminal importance." Mandi Odier-Fink argues that the jury didn't hear all the evidence it should have, specifically from Auclair's girlfriend who died before the trial.She made statements to a private investigator about the victim, who happened to be her best friend. The justices questioned how much of what was said was relevant and admissable?"What would be an example does it impeach her credibility or does it go to the motive? Just give me an example of what inference they could draw that would be appropriate on the case. I think it would go to motive."The defense argues that the victim made up the story about being raped.Then the prosecution presented the state's argument."It involved taking hair samples and pulling them."Susan Pope read testimony from the trial describing the invasive examination undergone by the victim at the hospital after the assault.She argued that even if the witness in question would be alive, none of the statements made would have been admissable in the trial.Auclair is expected to spend four years behind bars.The justices heard three other cases in Bangor today. Their decisions are expected to take several weeks.

Stone Mountain, GA (Stephensen) Running Back Mike Davis has decommitted from the Florida Gators today, after a tumultuous couple of days.
Davis (5'10, 200 lbs.) is a Rivals 100 Running Back, ranked 6th overall at his position.
Davis initially committed to the Gators on his birthday February 19th, 2011. Davis joined Seffner, FL (Armwood) Running Back Matt Jones (6'2″, 200 lbs.)
However, over the past few weeks, mainly past week, things began to change and go sour between the Gators and Mike Davis.
Davis has been vocal about a few things the Gators have done and has not been afraid to share them on his Twitter (@Mike28Davis).
On October 31st, Davis initially expressed concern with the following:
@Mike28Davis: Florida recruiting other running backs?
The answer was and still is, yes. The Gators are still actively pursuing Raleigh, NC RB Keith Marshall (5'11", 190 lbs.) This obviously did not make Mike Davis happy as he sees him and Jones as enough.
Things seemed to be fine for Florida after that initially tweet, even visiting the Gators since.
However, on Wednesday (11/30/11), things went south again.
@Mike28Davis: Wow ok florida
@Mike28Davis: smh
Then, on Friday (12/2/11), Mike Davis' brother James Davis, current RB of the Detroit Lions tweeted:
@JDavis_41: Little brother on his Official visit to Tennessee. I hope he has a great time.
@JDavis_41: Decommitted on the low…. lol
These tweets sent Gator Nation into a frenzy. James Davis clarified his tweets later by saying:
@JDavis_41: No my brother
@Mike28davis is still committed to UF. I wasnt referring to that ppl.
It is hard to believe in hindsight that James Davis was not referring to his brothers decommitment.
Then finally, today (12/4) Mike Davis officially announced his change:
@Mike28Davis: No longer committed to florida
While Florida may still be in the running for Davis, it seems Davis has moved on. Davis has already visited Tennessee, and has expressed interest in Florida State, South Carolina, Alabama and Miami.
Davis' situation has a multitude of factors in play. The recruitment of Marshall obviously did not make him happy and then a few run-ins with him and the staff made things a bit more tense.

Samantha Brewer Was Stealing For Five - Pregnant Woman Burglarized Several Homes With Two Small Children In Tow
Cincinnati, Ohio (The Weekly Vice) Samantha Brewer, a 25-year-old pregnant Ohio woman, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly burglarizing several homes with two small children in tow.
According to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, Brewer would leave home to drop off her 5 and 7-year-old sons at school, but not before committing a little burglary along the way.
In at least one case, Brewer lifted one of the children into the house through a window and had him unlock the front door.
Investigators say, the burglaries began April 4 and in each case, the thief would grab a handful of jewelry or a jewelry box from the master bedroom.
On Monday, a witness noticed Brewer as she was leaving a neighbor's home, but didn't think much of it. When the neighbor later claimed to have been robbed, the witness gave Brewer's description to police.
Another witness called police on Wednesday and said she had a run-in Sunday with a pregnant woman matching authorities' description.
The woman said she caught Brewer inside her grandmother's house and when she confronted Brewer, Brewer said she was picking up a baby bed.
During questioning, Brewer admitted to the burglaries and even showed authorities the houses she had burglarized.
Police say Brewer told them she was stealing because she needed cash. She was out of work, her husband had just started a disability leave from his job as an electrician and she was pregnant with a baby girl.
Brewer was booked into the Hamilton County Jail on six charges of burglary, four charges of attempted burglary and endangering children. She is due to deliver early next month.
Brewer's bond was set at $275,000 which means she will likely give birth while in State's custody.

Should neighborhoods change? Is wearing a suit a good way to quit smoking? Why do people think that if you do one thing, you're against something else? Is monogamy a trick? Why isn't making the city more fun for you and your friends a super-noble political goal? Why does a computer last only three years? How often should you see your parents? How should we behave at parties? Is marriage getting easier? What can spam tell us about the world?
Misha Glouberman's friend and collaborator, Sheila Heti, wanted her next book to be a compilation of everything Misha knew. Together, they made a list of subjects. As Misha talked, Sheila typed. He talked about games, relationships, cities, negotiation, improvisation, "Casablanca," conferences, and making friends. His subjects ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous. But sometimes what had seemed trivial began to seem important and what had seemed important began to seem less so.
"The Chairs Are Where the People Go "is refreshing, appealing, and kind of profound. It's a self-help book for people who don't feel they need help, and a how-to book that urges you to do things you don't really need to do."

- Review Date: 2011-04-11
- Reviewer: Staff
The city in question is Toronto, where Glouberman lives and plies his trades as instructor in improvisation and charades, and artistic impresario. These plainspoken, idiosyncratic essays, transcribed by Heti, a friend and fellow organizer, of their lecture series Trampoline Hall, coalesce cozily around the patient, earnest, well-intentioned voice of the speaker. Doled out is sanguine, youth-oriented advice such as how to make friends in a new city ("It's useful to identify what you like to do"), why going to parties should be fun and constructive, and the importance of placing chairs as close to the stage as possible ("Everyone should know these things"). The platitudes are self-explanatory, but prove so understated as to be frequently hilarious. Examples are observations on manners and teaching an audience to ask good questions ("What I warn people against is feelings of pride"). During the long-winded account of how he formed a neighborhood residents' association to block the opening of noisy bars, Glouberman concludes with a healthy endorsement of compromise—a realization that surprised even himself. Eliminating antagonism is one of the author's pets, as well as learning how to be decisive (like when quitting smoking) and simply accept unhappiness as an ongoing state of striving. As part of his work, he shares many tips on playing charades and easing communication with other games, like play fighting; overall, he dispenses the nondidactic wisdom of an avuncular sage. (July)

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - June 24, 2003, New Braunfels, Texas New Braunfels TUESDAY June 24, 2003 12 pages in *2 sections ■m■■ 12 pages in *2 SCCtKHerald-Zeitung Vol. 152, No. 190 Serving New Braunfels and Comal County since 1852 —*L1L___J. mumm 50 centsCISD superintendent announces retirement By Sean Bowlin Staff Writer Comal Independent School District Superintendent Jim Grunert announced his retirement Monday, effective Dec. 31. Grunert, who has spent 31 years in public education, and school board members denied the decision had anything to do with recent controversy over the installation of artificial turf at two schools and a failed plan to lend $482,000 in district funds to two athletic booster clubs. Grunert earns $120,000 per year in a three-year contract that expires June 30, 2006. No information was available on the details of Grunert's contract* settlement. Grunert said he is retiring because he earned teacher retirement credits and wants to use the time to help care for his ailing parents. His father, he said, has been in a rest home for two years. "There are other things in life besides working full-time," Grunert said. CISD spokesperson Kari Hutchison said the school board would decide in the weeks ahead how it wants to conduct the search for a new superintendent. The timing of the transition will allow a new superintendent to prepare the 2004-05 budget and be involved in the construction bidding process for a new high school. Reaction Monday from CISD trustees ranged from surprise to regret. "I'm sorry to see him go," trustee Charles Burt said. "There's pros and cons to everything." Burt, who said Grunert was frustrated "with the turf and the other stuff, too," said he thought trustees had made some recent progress with the superintendent. He praised Grunert for his organizational skills, pointing out that last year's opening of three schools could have been a lot more chaotic than it was. Trustee Bill Swint, an outspoken opponent of Grunert's See CISD/3A Agenda-setting proposal tabled by city council By DYLAN JIMENEZ Staff Writer New Braunfels City Council members agreed 6 to I Monday night that the procedure for pjacing items on the council agenda should be tightened. District 6 Councilman Ken Valentine was the only member who wanted to continue allowing council members unaudited access to the agenda. Currently, council members can put any item on the regular council agenda through the city manager without obtaining approval. The process will stay that way after a divided council tabled an ordinance presented by District 2 Councilman Larry Alexander. The proposal called for written support of at least three council members before an item could be placed ALEXANDER on the agenda. Alexander said he has seen a number of instances'of "grand* standing'' by council men'hers allowed to place unsupported ideas on the agenda. The current system also results in agenda items only a few words long, lacking adequate information for council members to consider prior to meeting, said Dmtrict I Councilwoman Sonia Munoz-Gill. Council members should be responsible for providing background information on agenda items they plan to present, she said, and council should enact a system to ensure all ideas placed on the agenda are city business and have support from council to move forward in the meeting. Council agreed to take up the matter at a fut ure workshop.

Sheller and volunteers Elizabeth Bell and Maria Rodriguez, have coolers loaded with food to give to about 200 children who live in the complex. 'No such thing as a free lunch' doesn't apply to kids at Villa Serena By Ron Maloney Staff Writer Monday was peanut butter-and-jel-ly day at the Villa Serena apartment complex located off Seguin Avenue, not far from the New Braunfels Police Department. Unlay will be turkey day. About 200 children live in the complex operated by the Housing Author1 ity of the City of New Braunfels. Half of them start trickling out of their homes a little before Ii a.m. and walking to the big, shady tree at Rosa Parks Drive and Crockett Court. There, complex manager Carol Sheller, Elizabeth Bell and Maria Rodriguez will have coolers full of food on a portable table. Monday through Friday, they feed the children a balanced meal provided by the housing authority and the San Antonio Food Bank. It is free and open to anyone up to 18 years old. Monday's meal included carrots, a cheese stick, fruit cup and chocolate milk. But the experience can't be measured by the food alone. It is also a social event. DAVID INGRAM/Herald-Zeitung Jessica Olvera, 7, anxiously awaits her turn to get lunch at the Villa Serena apartment complex Monday. The meals are served for free to those less than 18 years old Monday through Friday. Children get to hang out with their neighbors for a little while, and some of their mothers and fathers get to talk. Sheller knows all the children and calls them by name. "Matthew, please put your bag in the trash," she tells one. "The kids are pretty good. They know they're expect ed to clean up after themselves, and they're very well-behaved. I tell the bigger kids, 'You help the smaller ones.' They like coming here." The volunteers put out a tarp for the children to sit on. They have an awning they also can use. On bad weather days, they can go into the preschool located at the development. "It's wonderful," said a mom who brought her two children over to eat. "Its a very good program for the kids," she said, bending down to open a plastic-sealed, crust-less peanut butter and jelly sandwich for her son, J.J. 'They love it." A little girl walked up, carrying a bag of sweetened breakfast cereal about a quarter full. "Sweetie, where have you been?" Shelling asked. "I've missed you! Go get your lunch!" Nearby, Bell handed the girl a bag and stopped to help her open her sandwich. "We started doing this June 8. The first couple of days they didn't show up See LUNCH/6A ;
