New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - May 17, 2000, New Braunfels, Texas 11N EW J^eaaisKFELsHerald-/ TNG Vol. 149 No. 128 18 pages in 2 sections May 17, 2000 Wednesday iving Comal County since 1852 50 centsCISD trustees to consider bid for new elementary schoolPrice hike for lunches also on agenda From Staff Reports BULVERDE — Trustees of the Comal Independent School District could award a $6.7 million contract Thursday to build a new elementary school — the first new facility to be constructed as part of last year's $141 million bond issue. District administration is recommending that JT Construction Inc. of San Anto nio be awarded the contract to build the elementary school at Farm-to-Market Road 306 and Hoffman Lane north of New Braunfels. At its regular meeting, scheduled for 6 p.m. at Bill Brown Elementary on Highway 46 in Bulverde, the board also will consider a proposal to raise the price of school meals and discuss how best to address seating concerns at the district's two high school football stadiums. CISD spokeswoman Kari Hutchison said the increase in meal prices is due to risingWhat's Up ■ WHAT: CISD trustee meeting ■ WHEN: 6 p.m. Thursday ■ WHERE: Bill Brown Elementary, Highway 46, Bulverde food costs, wage increases and changes in how the district is reimbursed. "The last time there was an increase in meal prices in this district was five years ago," Hutchison said. "Beth is telling the school board we don't anticipate the need for another increase for five years." Under the proposal — if approved by trustees — there will be a 25-cent across-the-board increase in meal prices. The current CISD breakfasts at both the elementary and secondary school level will go from $1 to $1.25 for the 74 percent of district students who receive unsubsidized meals. Elementary school lunches will rise from $1.50 to $1.75, and secondary school lunches from $1.75 to $2. In the New Braunfels Independent School District, breakfasts now cost $1. An elementary school lunch is $1.75; secondary school lunch is $1.80. The board also is likely to reject bids to provide additional bleacher seating at the district's two stadiums in favor of a proposal by district staff to lease up to 2,200 additional seats for the 2000 season at a cost of $30,000. This will enable the district to consider permanent seating next year. Belly up for a good read Flatau: Had Gruene Hall In mind when she wrote "Counter Culture Texas." Gruene Hall 'counter' featured in book By Ron Maloney Staff Writer Gruene Hall barkeep Lizz Smith runs a rag over the leaning, planked counter and let the phone ring a few times before she walked back to the wall to grab it. No, the owners weren't around, she said. No, she didn't know when they'd be around. No, she couldn't give out their home numbers. She hangs up, returning to a conversation at the bar. Nope, she hadn't heard the establishment where she works was featured in the new book "Counter Culture Texas," a paperback examination of 44 of the state's dance halls, diners, luncheonettes, soda fountains and honky-tonks. Though she's a relatively new employee at the hall, Smith boasts a lifelong love for the place, and certainly believes its charm belongs in a book. "I've been coming here since I was 13," Smith explained. "That's the great thing about Gruene Hall — you can enjoy it at any age." She talked a little about the business: its rhythms; what it's like; how busy it is when things are really stomping on boot-scootin' show nights. Then, in the more confidential tone bartenders reserve for when they're talking to one of their own, she talked about tips. Gruene Hall, she said, is a wonderful place to work. "We don't have a band, so it's quiet today — but there's a lot happening here. Happy hour's from four to seven. And on the nights we have entertainment..." As her tone tapers, her eyes sweep the saloon and the dance hall beyond, as if expecting a stranger to doubt or discount her words. Then: "George Strait used to play here a lot..." Nobody who has seen the book, published by Lone Star Press, could doubt what Smith says about Gruene Hall. Author Susie Kelly Flatau said the landmark was one of three or four places she had in mind when she decided to do "Counter Culture Texas." Matt Hammon (left) and P. J Gruene Hall. K. JESSIE SLATEN/Herald-Zeitung Yankowskl chat with bartender Llzz Smith at the counter in "I'd been there quite a few times, and I knew we'd just have to use (it)," Flatau said. "Basically, it's one of the oldest dance halls in Texas. It's just steeped in history. If you go over to Gruene Hall, you can just feel it," Flatau said. "It's in a pretty nondescript building, but as you walk down the main street in Gruene, you're just kind of drawn to it. "It has the spirit, the old wooden dance floor — even the patina on the dance floor. When I was there, they had no air conditioning — I think it must be just as it was. Part of its beauty is that along the dance floor, they had these big shuttered doors that they'd open to let the breeze through. "What intrigued me is this man, Henry Gruene, a cotton farmer, built this dance hall and this little saloon for all his workers so they'd have a place to let loose after a hard week's work. Anybody who does that has a heart of gold — and a pretty dam good business sense." When Gruene died, the dance hall and saloon changed hands a number of times, and was closed for awhile. In 1975, Mary Jane Nalley and Pat Molak bought and reopened the dance hall. "There's a diversity of musicians who play there," Flatau noted "Many performers return over and over and over. It's kind of their home away from home; their grounding site." It's kind of a grounding site for Flatau, as well. Flatau loves the place, she says, as she loves many of the 125 places — and associated people — she and See COUNTER/10A Interest rates increased to slow economy WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve bumped up interest rates Tuesday by a bold half point, pushing a key rate to its highest level in nine years. Fed policy-makers signaled they were prepared to move even more aggressively if needed to fight inflation. The central bank raised its target for the federal funds rate, the interest that banks charge each other, to 6.5 percent. It was the sixth time the Fed has increased the funds rate since last June but the first half-point move. All the other rate changes were smaller quarter-point increases. The Fed's action at mid-afternoon was immediately matched by announcements from commercial banks that they were increasing their prime lending rate — the benchmark for millions of consumer and business loans — by the same half point. Those increases left the prime at 9.5 percent, its highest level since January 1991 when the country was in its last recession. The Fed also increased its largely symbolic discount rate, the interest it chaiges for direct loans to banks, by a half point to 6 percent. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and his colleagues said they were concerned that continued brisk demand generated by the booming economy would outstrip the country's available supply of goods and workers. If this were to persist, the Fed warned, it "could foster inflationary imbalances that would undermine the economy's See INTEREST/10A NBISD balances 2000-2001 budget By Ron Maloney Staff Writer The New Braunfels Independent School District will look to staff attrition to find the last quarter million dollars it needs to balance its budget for the 2000-01 fiscal year — without firing any employees and without raising taxes for maintenance and operations. "We don't want to RIF — we're not going to RIF," NBISD business manager, David Rastellini assured trustees at their meeting Tuesday night. RIF is human resources jargon: an acronym that stands for "reduction in force." BIGGADIKE Rastellini told the school board he will find the last $230,000 he needs to balance the district's budget by not replacing five teachers and two aides next year. If the district doesn't experience the expected personnel attrition, he said, he will ask departments to reach a little further in their See BUDGET/10A Inside Abby......................... .......5A Classifieds................... ...4-8B Comics....................... .......2B Crossword................. .......5A Forum......................... ......6A Local/Metro................. w.....4A Movies......................... .......5A Obituaries................... .......3A Sports............................ ....7-9A Today............................. ........2A Television....................... 3B www.herald-28itung.com Key Code 76 Outside help can only go so far in aiding Rosedale By Heather Togo Staff Writer Maria Serrano has two small children and is facing the difficult task of finding affordable housing in New Braunfels as a single mother. Serrano, whose husband recently passed away, currently pays $260 for a two-bedroom apartment she shares with her 5-year old daughter and 6-month old son in the Rosedale Apartment complex. Serrano and more than 150 other residents at Rosedale have been ordered to move out of their apartments by June I. Three weeks ago, the Building Standards Commission decided to close the complot Last in a three-part series immediately after inspectors turned up more than 150 violations of building, fire, health and safety codes in the 42 units on Rosedale Avenue and South Krueger Street off West San Antonio Street. So far, Sarrano has not found housing she can afford. She and several other residents have put their names on a list for housing assistance through the Housing Authority of New Braunfels. However, there currently are no vacancies in anv low-income housing units in New Braunfels, said Nadine Mardock, director of the housing authority. Applications for the permanent assistance voucher program, which provides low-income residents with vouchers to use for privately owned housing, take several months to process, she said. "The voucher program is not set up for emergencies," Mardock said. Residents will have to wait and worry while the city and housing authority implement an emergency assistance program for Rosedale residents. Kathleen Puchek, Community Development Block Grant director, said the program, if approved, would give the exiled residents money toward security deposits and first-month rent at new apartments. Puchek said the program was designed specifically for Rosedale residents. "This would not be an on-going program. It would help people get relocated. The program would probably end in August or whenever all the people were moved out," Puchek said. Puchek said funding would come from money previously set aside for the Bergfeld Drainage Project, which came in under budget. The program, however, is temporarily on hold as the city waits for approval from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Because the program would receive federal funding it must be processed according to See ROSEDALE/10A ;

Indeed, Russia's economy looks more like that of a Middle Eastern oil autocracy than a modern European state: oil sales fund roughly half the federal budget, while 70 per cent of federal expenditure goes on social spending and pensions. With its economy limping along since the 2009 collapse, economists reckon Russia's 4 per cent growth rate is far below what it could achieve if reforms were made that cut social spending and increased both state and private investment.
Mr. Medvedev has sought by stealth to gain leverage over economic policy. An otherwise unremarkable commission on modernization, created in 2009 and consisting of 23 people including five cabinet ministers, has been transformed into a "sort of parallel government" where Mr. Medvedev can directly issue instructions and quiz members on their fulfilment, according to Sergei Guriev, rector of the New Economic School in Moscow.
"Unlike other commissions, this one meets every month, and on time," says Mr. Guriev. "It provides Medvedev direct access to ministers which he wouldn't get otherwise."
Many of Mr. Medvedev's instructions to the government have fallen on deaf ears: the Finance Ministry under Alexei Kudrin, a close Putin ally, is legendary for its unresponsiveness, say a number of insiders and former officials. Mr. Kudrin is himself a respected reformer and economic manager, but clearly his loyalties lie with Mr. Putin rather than Mr..Medvedev, as do those of most of the cabinet. "The deputy ministers don't see Medvedev as their boss, they see it as Putin," says one economist.
Mr. Medvedev's 2009 order to establish a unified national payment system, to expand the use of consumer credit and debit cards, took 17 months before the Finance Ministry made it into legislation. The ministry maintains that the delay was due to problems in co-ordination with other ministries, not to lack of will or interest.
Persistently, Mr. Medvedev uses the commission to prod ministers into doing his bidding. At its last meeting on April 25, he took Andrei Fursenko, Education Minister, to task for poor co-ordination between academia and the private sector. "The ministry should work - not sleep but work seriously," he said, apparently noting that Mr. Fursenko had been nodding off during the four-hour long session. "Maybe you should do some 'doping'," joked the boyish-looking President - slang for a brisk shot of espresso or vodka to get the blood flowing.
He also admonished Mr. Kudrin, the Finance Minister, urging him to "work together with the administration, so the results are useful to all" - a swipe at Mr. Kudrin's evident lack of co-operation with the Kremlin.
Targeting the cozy relationships between cabinet ministers and state companies was the most noteworthy of 10 points on a reform agenda that also promises to strengthen corporate governance and weed out corruption by empowering whistleblowers. Outlined by Mr. Medvedev on March 31 at a meeting of the modernization commission in the industrial city of Magnitogorsk, it led not only to Mr. Sechin's departure from Rosneft but the resignation of Mr. Kudrin from the board of VTB, the state-controlled bank, though those close to him say the Finance Minister agreed with the President's action.
"Medvedev's decision clearly had a political aspect to it," says Alexei Makarkin of the Centre for Political Technologies in Moscow. "Most of the cabinet ministers covered by the decree were appointed by Putin, loyal to Putin, and Medvedev was interested in a way to weaken their influence." He says it was clear the man Mr. Medvedev was really going for was Mr. Sechin, leader of the group in Mr. Putin's circle known as the siloviki, literally "strong guys," with security backgrounds whom Mr. Putin brought with him into the Kremlin in 2000. Mr. Sechin's ousting was widely seen as a blow to siloviki power.
Yet while the episode allowed Mr. Medvedev to flex his muscles, it also demonstrated graphically the limits of his powers - namely that he is clearly not allowed to fire ministers, only to whittle away at their perks. And although Mr. Putin reportedly supported the new rules on state company boards, it is unclear where he will stand on replacing the ministers, some of whom have tried to nominate their replacements.
The frontrunner for Mr. Sechin's Rosneft seat is Sergei Shishin, a vice-president at VTB and a former general in the Federal Security Service who is rumoured to be close to both Mr. Sechin and Mr. Putin. "Medvedev's great idea has turned into a saddening fiasco. What difference does it make who sits on the board if he votes on orders anyway?" asks Alexei Navalny, an opposition blogger and activist shareholder.Report Typo/Error

Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the 1,066-foot building is what distinguishes it from other high rises of its size across the East River—it will be residential.

In a complex saga involving the MTA, an 88-year-old tower, and a planned 77-story apartment behemoth, affordable housing may be first to fall by the wayside.

A courtesy phone call from the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission to the owners of a luxury-car showroom designed by Frank Lloyd Wright was seemingly all it took to persuade them to demolish the historic interior.

Hereditary eyes
I'm not sure that I detect any asymmetry from the photo that you posted. If the issue is not affecting your child's vision or causing any problems, I would not do anything at present. If there is some cosmetic issue causing asymmetry, it could be dealt with when the child becomes an adult.

With our Christmas Open House less than two weeks away I'm back to creating special projects for the event. In case you missed it, I took a little break from Christmas in last week's post.
I recently bought an attractive, yet very plain, decorative box but it just screamed for something extra.
I remembered some seashells that I had purchased at a yard sale, so I selected a pretty shell and glued it to the lid. The shell makes the perfect "knob" and feels so good in the hand.
While I had my seashell stash on the work desk, I decided to create one more project. A vintage pivoting frame became the target for my beachy embellishment.
The frame already had a textured sand-like finish, so I painted it gray (it was gold) and added three sweet shells to the bottom of the frame.
Since the Gulf Coast is less than a two-hour drive away, we appreciate coastal living here. I hope one of these projects will be the perfect gift for someone's beach-themed decor.

After days of grueling negotiations, the United States and Russia have reached an agreement Saturday on a framework to secure and destroy Syria's chemical weapons by mid-2014 and impose U.N. penalties if the Assad government fails to comply with the details.
It's not clear whether Syria has signed onto the agreement, which requires Damascus to submit a full inventory of its stocks within the next week but Russia does have a close relationship and holds influence over its Mideast ally Syria.

Somehow pot roast always ends up befuddling me. I buy it on sale and then it sits in the fridge staring at me, just daring me to make it. "Kate, you know you are going to dry me out!" it coos whenever I dare reach for it. So for this #PinterestRemakes challenge, I decided to tackle one of the many many Italian pot roast recipes I have pinned over the years.
The problem is that so many of them seem to be meat only. And I am lazy. So I wanted to incorporate a veggie too. That way it's a complete meal. Read on for my simple Italian pot roast recipe.
-3 lb pot roast
-2 Tbsp fresh minced garlic
-1 stick butter
-2 tsp fresh rosemary
-2 tsp fresh thyme
-1 cup red wine
-1 cup beef broth
-1 can tomato paste
-small bag of baby carrots
1. Preheat the oven to 275, then heat the stovetop to medium hot. Take a dutch over or large cast iron pan and add one fourth of the butter and 1/2 Tbsp of rosemary. Salt and pepper the pot roast. Sear the pot roast until browned on all sides. Remove to plate.
2. Add one fourth of butter and a splash of wine to pan and deglaze (basically scrape the pan with a wooden spatula until there are no browned bits of meat sticking to the pan.)
3. Place the pot roast back into the pan. Combine the wine, the rest of the herbs, and beef broth then stir in the tomato paste. Pour over the pot roast. Then put pan in the oven and roast for an hour and a half.
4. At the hour and a half mark, add the bag of baby carrots and the rest of the butter. Roast for another hour and a half.
Remove pan and let rest. Gently shred beef into broth. Serve in bowls with crusty bread.
To level up, after removing the pan from the oven, take the pot roast out and put it on a plate. Stir a package of fresh spinach into the broth and carrots until the spinach is just melted. Serve with carrots and pot roast over polenta.

One of my favorite strategies to add magic to my life is remembering to Go Off-Script with people. Sometimes I feel like I'm walking around in The Truman Show—like somewhere along the line, we've all agreed to stick to the script, to choose one of six approved lines to throw at each other (Great weather we're having! Love the scarf! I'm fine, and you?) and never, ever say what we're really thinking. It's like we have two voices: a juicy one in the back of our heads saying interesting, true, dangerous, delightful things and the other voice that shushes the juicy voice and sticks to the Script. That voice is safe, but she's also kind of a yawn-fest. And she doesn't unlock people. She doesn't wake anybody up. When we stay on script, so does everybody else. When we jump off script, others do, too—and things get interesting.
Yesterday I was waiting for the lady behind the post office counter to help me. It was taking awhile. I felt like saying something, so I invited my juicy voice forward. Instead of saying "nice weather," I said, "That little girl in your locket is beautiful. Who is she?" And the woman stopped working and looked up at me. She grabbed onto her necklace as if she'd forgotten it was there. Her eyes lit up and her body language softened. And time seemed to stop as she explained that the little girl was Laura, her daughter, and that Laura had passed away seventeen years ago. I said, "I'm so sorry. Laura was beautiful. Laura's eyes are so bright." And she said "It's good to hear her name. "
There you go. We were not just customer and post office employee after all. We were two mothers. Two women. Human connection made. I'm so glad we didn't miss each other. Meeting her put my whole day in perspective. Life Off-Script is just another way to live AWAKE, to remember that each person who crosses our path is a teacher. It just makes everyday life a great adventure. Here's another example of some Off-Script Magic.
Several weeks ago, I sent this email to Tish's teacher:
Dear Mrs. B,
I am writing to regretfully explain that Tish's homework folder has somehow disappeared into the black hole that is our family home. Since you know my baby girl you might understand that this occurrence is: The Official End of The World. THE END, Mrs. B. It is over. I am trying to contain the weeping and gnashing of teeth, but Tish has decided that since her folder is missing, it is time for her to finally give up on making something of herself. This is quite sad for our whole family. We really thought this one had potential. Thank God we still have two more.
Please accept this mama's humble plea for a new homework packet. As for the original packet, I am certain I will find it somewhere in our mini-van right before Tish graduates from college. IF we recover from Foldergate, that is. If not, it has been wonderful knowing you.
If it is against the rules to provide another packet, we accept our fate. I simply ask that if this is the case: please don't return Tishy to us. Consider taking her home with you. She just needs a couple grilled cheeses a day. I have done my best with her but we can't win them all. I really do wish the two of you great joy and success in all your future endeavors.
Mrs. B—all my continued gratitude and awe to you. Thank you for showing up day after day to give your all to our kids. Thanks for doing the most important work in the world. You are one of our family's heroes.
The Messy Meltons
A few hours later, I received this reply:
Hi Glennon,
Well, I guess there goes Tish's chances of getting into an Ivy League college. I put together another packet of homework for Tish. I didn't have an extra copy of the article on George Washington, so I replaced it with one on Abe Lincoln. Swapping one famous president for another should work in a situation like this. She also had her dad email me about the missing extra credit packet. I guess she was worried I wouldn't believe her! The reward for completing the extra credit was only two Chips Ahoy cookies, but they were the chewy ones. Who would want to miss out on that!
Since Tish didn't have a yellow folder to put her homework in (lost, too) I had to come up with a way she wouldn't lose the new copy. I've attached a picture. She's such a good sport. Carry on.
Have a great day!
Mrs. B
God Bless the teachers, every one.
GO OFF-SCRIPT TODAY, FRIENDS! Everybody is such a great adventure.

Only five weeks after two men got away with £ 4.6million worth of dollar bills and other currency, a pair of raiders this mor ning hijacked a security vehicle inside the airport and held a knife to the throat of the driver.
The men ordered him to drive out of the airport and through security cordons before abandoning the van a few miles away in Cranford. They transferred the money in strongboxes to a waiting vehicle and escaped. The driver was released shaken but unhurt.
In the raid five weeks ago, a British Airways security van was hijacked in the "airside" secure area at Terminal 4.
The two men in both raids were described as Asian and police are not ruling out links between the two robberies.
In what appears to be a bizarre coincidence, detectives were at the airport this morning at about the time the raid was taking place to make an arrest in connection with the first robbery.
Members of the Flying Squad, who carried out the arrest, were on the scene within minutes.
The two men in today's raid struck at about 7.20am as cash from a South African Airlines flight was being transferred to a security vehicle in the "airside" area of Terminal 1.
They leapt into the vehicle and one man held a knife to the throat of the driver telling him to head towards London. The terrified driver obeyed and left the airport as if nothing was wrong.
The van was abandoned in Church Road, Cranford. The two men, described as in their twenties, escaped. The driver of the security van alerted police.
The second robbery in five weeks is a huge embarrassment to the Heathrow authorities, particularly since security was supposed to have been tightened after the 11 September atrocities. A spokesman for BAA Heathrow was unavailable for comment this morning.
Once again the gang were able to simply drive out of the airport and through security gates without being challenged.
Detectives believe both raids could only have been carried out with inside knowledge and meticulous planning.
Det Ch Supt John Coles, head of the Flying Squad, said: "We are actively investigating both incidents and we are confident that we will arrest the people that carried out these robberies."
The Heathrow airport authorities are expected to carry out a major review of the security after a series of robberies.
As well as the earlier theft, a haul of £4.2million worth of mobile phones was stolen from a nearby warehouse.
Detectives are investigating the possibility that the raiders are among the 20,000 workers at Heathrow. Insiders at the airport say it is relatively easy to get a temporary job which allows access to sensitive areas.
In last month's robbery, two men dressed in BA freight handlers' uniforms and fluorescent jackets held up the driver of a BA van, tied him up and then transferred eight red strongboxes containing a quarter of a ton of cash into their own van.
The two Asian men then calmly drove out of the airport to a back street in Feltham two miles away where they transferred the cash to another vehicle, set light to the van to destroy clues and drove away.Reuse content

Ein Volk! Ein Reich! Ein Euro!" We can shrug or we can shudder at this echo of the Nuremberg Rally in the years of Hitler's rise to power - shudder at his vision of a German Reich to last 1,000 years and at the dread realities of the Europe that he occupied for a mere quinquennium, or shrug at the idiocy of a comic celebrity playing the fool. If the campaigners to reject the euro can make so serious a misjudgment as to dress comedian Rik Mayall as Hitler for their propaganda, what, we must wonder, is the value of their argument against our joining a pan-European currency? Did they really think that raising the ghost of Hitler for five seconds - even as spoof, parody or joke - had anything to do with the issue?
Did they really think that from that black shadow, as panicstricken and timorous as the wee mouse of Robert Burns, we would run to cower under the wing of the No campaigners? And do the No-men really believe that we are to be influenced in so serious a matter by hack comedians in their roles as hack comedians?
Surely the celebrity endorsement is by now largely discredited? It has some point for charitable purposes and is indeed a force for good in the fields of animal welfare, mental health and international calamity, but in such a matter as the euro, if any one of us is so simple-minded as to believe that Mayall as Hitler has a point to make, then we should promptly be disenfranchised and dispatched to an asylum for the incurably insane.
This is not for one moment to suggest that Mayall has no right to an opinion, only that he should express it as a sane man with an argument rather than as a professional buffoon; highly intelligent and intellectually honest in a way that none of Tony Blair's sycophants and acolytes could ever be, we should have no doubt that he could debate the issue effectively with any professional politician and be 1,000 times more influential for being both himself and serious.
Most of us now so mistrust politicians that we believe not a word they say and might well prefer to hear, not more wind and waffle from Blair, but the honest opinion of a comedian without an axe to grind.
Over the euro, the electorate has been treated scurvily by both the Yes and No-men. The situation is not what it was when we joined the European Community in 1973. The Cold War was then an everpresent threat and the recollection of a Europe virtually destroyed in the Second World War was still fresh in the memories of those then old enough to be our politicians; a united Europe would be, we thought, a stronger force against a Russia that had been prepared to invade Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968, and a united Europe would check the otherwise inevitable aggrandisement of Germany. Neither of these threats has any substance now, and the argument that the present European Union must continue to expand eastwards has no merit, either for the union or for its currency, the euro.
There is some merit in a union of western European nations of roughly equal prosperity, but in truth we have hardly managed even that - we have no agreed foreign policy on any matter, we have no independent defence capability and can neither decide nor do anything on the European or world stages without leaning on American initiative or support. We are not, singly or combined, even remotely a great power in the 19th century sense when, for example, the British could agree with the Russians to bang together the heads of the Bulgarians and Turks and settle (briefly) the Eastern Rumelian Question.
We have a dog's dinner of an agricultural policy and seem utterly incapable of remedying it, and we cannot agree on how many fish we should take out of the sea. Fundamentally, the British have never been seduced by the starryeyed ideal of a united Europe - we saw the logic of it as a bulwark against the Soviet Union, never foreseeing that nation's collapse, we saw the economic and industrial benefit of a common market without tariffs, we saw the advantage of it as a third force holding a discreet and ameliorating balance between the superpowers of Russia and the USA, saw it indeed as commanding some mystical moral high ground, but we have never liked its nuts and bolts.
We disliked surrendering our old blue passports, our feet and inches, pounds and ounces, and many of us dislike the prospect of letting what is left of our ancient coinage go the way of the shilling and half-crown.
And what else shall we lose when we abandon the pound coin? Control over our taxes? Control over our interest rates? Control over pensions and national insurance contributions? We must believe that when we join the euro, that currency will gain strength from our comparatively robust economy, but if the consequence is that we swap a strong pound for a stronger euro, then shall we not, beyond Europe's borders, suffer the very same difficulties as now with exports and exchange rates?
There is another major imponderable, scarcely mentioned by the Yes and No-men. We are on the brink of agreeing that 10 new members should join the EU, some of them with uncertain and unstable economies that are scarcely a quarter of the present EU average. What have the existing western nations that are the core of the EU to gain from eastward expansion embracing Poland and Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, Slovenia, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, Malta and Cyprus?
These last two are an absurdity, Malta because, bluntly, it is too small to be worth a voice in so large a community, and Cyprus because it is in the grip of an intractable dispute between its Greek and Turkish halves, with many of us who remember Enosis, EOKA and Makarios having more sympathy for the Turks. And if we consider the present EU's inability to resolve its fishing problems and its systems of subsidy and support for overproduction in agriculture, how can we contemplate adding further still to the extravagant confusion by raising to 25 the number of member countries?
Driven by sentimental nonsense - the cradle of civilisation, the birthplace of democracy - we allowed Greece to join the EU in 1981 and have ever since had to prop up its ailing economy. Ten new members will bring problems that are even worse. Ten new members may so overextend the EU, may bring it to near bankruptcy, that the union collapses into chaos. It has been the nature of recent European empires to disintegrate - consider Napoleon's in the 19th and those of communist Russia and Nazi Germany in the 20th century, with not 80 years between them - and some of us think the fragmentation within decades of an overstretched EU a betting certainty. If, as the Chancellor said in his recent Mansion House speech, the decision to join the euro is irreversible, we may be wise to stand back from it - let us be the rat that can leave the sinking ship.
If Mayall's Hitler has any point in this argument, it is two jumps ahead. First, we must have the collapse of the EU (and it will be no stronger than its weakest link), then the euro will behave like the Weimar mark in 1930s Germany (half a million of them for a loaf of bread), and then there will be the opportunity for Hitler's heir. Perhaps Mayall's clowning was not, after all, inapposite, but merely obscure.Reuse content

Micromachined biomimetic optical microphones with improved packaging and power consumption
Banser, Frederic Allen
MetadataShow full item record
Low noise, directional microphones are critical for hearing aid applications. This thesis is focused on further development of a biomimetic micromachined directional microphone based on the ear structure of the Ormia Ochracea, a parasitic fly able to locate sound sources in the audio frequency range with high accuracy. The development efforts have been on implementing a version of the microphone for a behind the ear (BTE) package while improving the overall optical efficiency and noise level, demonstrating pulsed laser operation for reduced power consumption, and electrostatic control of the microphone diaphragm position for stable operation over a long time. The new packaging method for the microphone addressed the need for tighter placement tolerances along with a redesigned diaphragm and integration of a microscale optical lens array to improve the optical efficiency of the device. The completed packages were characterized for sensitivity improvement and optical efficiency. The overall optical efficiency was significantly increased from less than 1% to the photo diode array collecting 50% of the emitted optical power from the Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL). This, coupled with the new diaphragm design, improved the acoustic performance of the microphones. Consequently, the noise levels recorded on the devices were about 31 dBA SPL, more than 15dB better than conventional directional microphones with nearly 10 times larger port spacing. Since the application for this technology is hearing aids, the power consumed by the working device needs to be at an acceptable level. The majority of the power used by the microphone is from continuously operating the VCSEL with 2mW optical output power. To reduce this power requirement, it was suggested to pulse the VCSEL at high enough frequency with low duty cycle so that the acoustic signals can be recovered from its samples. In this study, it was found that the VCSEL can be pulsed with little to no degradation in signal to noise ratio as long as the thermal mechanical noise dominated the noise spectrum. The results also indicated that a pulse train with a duty cycle of around 20% can be used without a major loss of performance in the device, meaning the device can effectively run at 1/5 of its original power under pulsed operation mode. Finally, a control technique to overcome some inherent problems of the microphone was demonstrated. Since the optical sensitivity of the microphone depends on the gap between the diaphragm grating and the integrated mirror, it is important to keep that bias gap constant during long term operation against environmental variations and charging effects. Using a simple electrostatic bias controller scheme, the sensitivity variation of the microphone was improved by a factor of 7.68 with bias control. Overall, this thesis has addressed several important aspects of a micromachined biomimetic microphone and further demonstrated its feasibility for hearing aid applications.

On April 2nd, The Virginia Gazette published a story on the waning interest in safe, alcohol-free After Prom events sponsored by high school Parent Teacher Student Associations (PTSA). The reporter, Ryan McKinnon, obtained input from PTSA Presidents and students at each high school. The gist of the article was that with attendance steadily dropping and costs increasing in recent years, PTSAs were faced with a difficult decision.
After debate, the Jamestown PTSA Executive Board committed to holding our annual event. In spite of our late start requesting food and prize donations from community businesses and JHS families, their contributions were abundant. Surprisingly, almost 200 tickets were purchased, far exceeding the number of tickets sold each of the last five years. Additionally, 475 Prom tickets were sold, an impressive jump from the 325 sold each of the last few years.
The Jamestown PTSA wishes to thank the following businesses for their generous contributions to our event held at the AMF Williamsburg Bowling Lanes on May 21st:
AAA Insurance (Tidewater), Acclaimed Appearance, American Family Fitness, AMF Lanes, Applebee's, Aroma's Coffeehouse, Ball Metal, Barnes & Noble (New Town), BayPort Credit Union, BlueGreenAqua Boutique, Buffalo Wild Wings, Buggy Bathe Auto Wash, Carter Iron & Steel, Casey Toyota, Center Street Grille, Chick-Fil-A (Monticello & Mooretown), Colonial Sports, Comic Cubicle, Computer Concepts, Dairy Queen, Domino's Pizza (Richmond Rd.), Dermatology Center of Williamsburg, Williamsburg Orthodontics, Dunkin Donuts, Edward Jones (New Town), Farm Fresh (Rt. 5), Five Guys, Great Wolf Lodge, Handy Ice & Water, hi-ho Silver, Jimmy's Oven & Grill, Kingsmill Resort, Langley Federal Credit Union, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Martin's, Marvelous Nails, Morrison's Flowers, Muscarelle Museum, New Town Car Wash, Nails Uptown, Norge Dental Center, Old Point National Bank, Opus 9, Paint On Pottery, Papa John's Pizza (Old Towne), Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf, Richmond Flying Squirrels, Rita's Ice, Sal's By Victor, Salon 109 (Dru Williams), Silk Salon (Stephanie Gibson), SmartShot Photo Booth, SnoToGo, Sports Clips, Staples, Starbucks (Monticello), Subway (Monticello), Sweet Frog, The Cheese Shop, Trader Joe's, Two Rivers Country Club, Williamsburg National Golf Club, Williamsburg Drug Company, and Wythe Candy & Gourmet Shop.
"It takes a village" has never been truer. The generosity of local mercants and JHS families allowed the PTSA to throw a great party with fabulous door prizes. The JHS parents who helped run the late night event proved we "can still hang." Special credit must also be given to this group of well-behaved students who expressed their appreciation for the evening's activities. We wish them all success and happiness.

Andrew Fenwick, 24, of Greencastle, is accused of trying to cover-up for another deputy under investigation for excessive force.
US attorney Joe Hogsett announced the charges against Andrew Fenwick, a reserve deputy, Tuesday morning. Andrew Fenwick is the son of Putnam County Sheriff Steve Fenwick.
Andrew Fenwick is accused of providing false testimony during an investigation into another Putnam County Sheriff's Deputy, Terry Joe Smith. Smith was arrested in March for using excessive force against suspect in at least four incidents. Charges against smith are pending and a trial is set for April 28.
According to the indictment, Fenwick gave false statements regarding how much force he used to help Smith apprehend a suspect near Moore's Bar in Greencastle in November 2011, whether he'd seen Smith's police report about Smith's use of force against another person at the Cloverdale truck stop in December 2013 and whether the person in the Cloverdale incident had struck Fenwick with a closed fist before Smith used physical force against that person.
"I think it seriously undermines those cases," said Bradley Blackington, assistant US attorney. "In that type of case, a defense lawyer can stand up in front of the jury and say, 'Look at what the police did.' It sheds a negative light on the conduct of police. It undermines, frankly, the respect police have in the community. That's why these cases are so bad."
Like many Indiana counties, Putnam County is getting ready for a primary election May 6. Two candidates, Indiana State Police Trooper Scott Stockton and Deputy Craig Sibbitt, are challenging Steve Fenwick for his sheriff's job.
"I believe it will have a major impact on the election," said Sibbitt.
Sibbitt, who has been a Putnam County deputy for the past 11 years, says a change at the top is needed.
"The great citizens of this county don't deserve all this bad press," he said. "We just got to make sure we get this department back on track."

Former Putnam County Sheriff Mark Frisbee served two months in federal prison after a 2008 arrest for theft from a federal program. Now, two more deputies face possible prison terms and hefty fines.
"It's incredibly sad, I guess is the best word I can use. Very disappointed, very disappointed," Sibbitt said.
Andrew Fenwick faces up to 15 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $750,000 if he's convicted of the charges.

7 Cool Things About the New 2016 Harley-Davidsons | New Motorcycles | Cruisers
Harley-Davidson just finished introducing its 2016 model-year lineup, with a new version of the Road Glide, called the Ultra, updates for Sportsters, and two new big-inch Softails. In terms of big, bold initiatives, this is not a watershed year, but there are some quiet advances informed by the so-called VOC, or voice of the consumer.
Fast or slow corners, the new Sportster suspension is a huge improvement.
1/ Suspension does matter. For years, weve poked fun at the suspension quality of most Sportsters, especially those with limited travel for that long and low look. Well, theres still a long-and-low option, but now all 2016 Sportsters benefit from greatly upgraded emulsion shocks and cartridge fork internals that replace the stone-age damper-rod setups. Finally!
A new 49mm fork for the Sporty Forty Eight.
2/ Fat means fat. With the 16 Forty Eight, Harleys stylists were going for a beefy look at the front of the bike, so the solution was to adapt the 49mm fork used on the larger bikes to the XL chassis, giving it a much more rigid platform for the thick, 16-inch front wheel.
An improved seat for all Sportsters!
3/ Seating for one. Harley made further across-the-board changes on the Sportster line that should please everyone who rides more than five blocks from the sustainable tattoo-itorium to the artisanal composting store. By moving the engine control module, Harley freed up space under the thin XL saddles for, get this, some actual 3D-modeled foam.
An improved seat for all Sportsters!
4/ Putting the cruise in cruiser. By making factory cruise control either standard or a dealer-installed option across the entire Softail lineup, Harley says it answered the powerful hollering of current Softail owners who want to go the distance with one hand.
Ride for distance, single handedly thanks to cruise control on the Softails.
5/ There is no straight-up cruiser in the CVO lineup. Normally, Harley spreads the CVO love around the basic lineup, applying the Custom Vehicle Operations goodness to multiple platforms. Thats not true this year, since the three models that make up the 2016 CVO line include the CVO Street Glide, the CVO Ultra, and the CVO Road Glide Ultra. Makes you wonder what Harley has in mind for 2017, doesnt it?
The loudest CVO on the planet is the Street Glide, and not because of the pipes. Or paint. Its all about the audio system!
6/ The idle control is now in the riders control. To combat roasted-thigh (and cylinder) during hot-weather, low-speed riding, Harley introduced a technology called EITMS, which is a fancy way of saying that under certain circumstances the fuel and ignition to the rear cylinder is interrupted to keep it and the rider cool. Until this year, EITMS was enabled or disabled by the dealer reflashing the bikes ECU, but for 2016 its rider selectable.
Touring models including the new Road Glide Ultra all have Harleys EITMS, which helps reduce rear-cylinder heat. Now you can turn it off if you never want your 103 to run like a thumper.
7/ The 110ci engine in the S models is the largest ever offered in a stock Softail. From humble beginnings with an 80ci Evolution engine through to the standard 103ci engine in the rest of the line, the Softail has grown with the S models (Softail Slim S, $18,499, and Fat Boy S, $19,699) to pack 1,802cc from a 4-inch bore and a 4.374-inch stroke, giving 109 pound-feet of torque at 3,500 rpm. The regular 103 has a measly 3.87-inch bore and offers up 100 pound-feet at 3,000 rpm. The big engines in the Softail Slim S and the Fat Boy S have hydraulic clutches. That makes it easier to squeeze the stronger clutches. Because torque.
A Screamin Eagle 110 finds a home in the new Softail Slim S and Fat Boy S. Torque of the town, for sure.

A number of new regulations and proposals will be issued on Friday, after the Thanksgiving holiday.
Among them will be a proposal for a federal biofuel requirement and an effort to limit tax-exempt organizations from taking part in political activity.
Here's what's on the way:
Energy and environment:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is publishing is proposed 2014 standards for a biofuel program that requires fuel refiners to mix some ethanol and other renewable fuels in with conventional gasoline.
The agency lowered the ethanol mandate in the draft rule, partly in response to concerns from the oil-and-gas industry. They said that refiners were being asked to mix a blend of gasoline that cars can't use.
Ethanol groups have expressed concern about the lower standard.
The public will have 60 days to comment on the draft regulation.
Additionally, the agency is finalizing a greenhouse gas reporting rule to "improve the quality and consistency of the data collected by the EPA."
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Treasury Department are proposing new rules that would rein in tax-exempt "dark money" groups from participating in politics.
The draft guidance would set new standards for political nonprofits like Crossroads GPS, which is linked to Karl Rove, or Organizing for Action, which grew out of President Obama's reelection campaign.
The IRS is also issuing new draft regulations for computing net investment income and releasing temporary rules on voluntary withholding agreements and draft permanent regulations.
The IRS is also releasing regulations for a new hospital Medicare insurance tax under the Affordable Care Act, and rules for an annual fee on health insurance companies.
The fee applies to companies that receive more than $25 million in net premiums.
Four financial regulators are trying to issue new rules for the liquid assets banks keep on hand.
The regulation is designed to help "the short-term resilience" of global banks, "thereby improving the banking sector's ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress," they said.
The new requirement would apply to banks with more than $250 billion in assets as well as other institutions that have been designated for special supervision under the Dodd-Frank Act.
The Federal Reserve Board is also adopting a policy statement on banks' stress tests, used to make sure they can withstand financial shocks.
The Federal Railroad Administration is adding requirements for trains to have a number of emergency exits and signage.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is asking the public to comment on how to best tell consumers about motor vehicle damage.
Congress told the agency to study the best ways to let consumers know about vehicles' susceptibility to damage.
Additionally, the White House's Office of Management and Budget Office has approved the Surface Transportation Board's attempts to collect some information.
Copyrights and patents:
The U.S. Copyright Office is setting a fee schedule for cable and satellite companies to file some statements.
The copyright office is also adjusting the royalty rates that colleges and universities pay to use some musical compositions and that satellite carriers pay.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is proposing to implement parts of an international agreement on industrial designs.
The Department of Education is extending the comment period for regulations outlining assistance to states for teaching children with disabilities.
Pesticides and chemicals:
The EPA is setting a tolerance for resides of the pesticide quinclorac on rapeseed.
The Food and Drug Administration is updating its food additive rules.
Government operations:
The General Services Administration is formally changing the name of the General Services Board of Contract Appeals to the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals.
National fishing regulators are closing a zone of the south Atlantic to red porgy and vermilion snapper fishing.
