J ". " - ^ r " ;?f|| , ^------ __-------------------------------------------Vol. 150, No. 140 Serving New Braunfels and Comal County since 1852 50 cents By Martin Malacara Staff Writer Thunderstorms rolled through New Braunfels Monday, dumping heavy rain in the morning hours. Nezette Rydell of the National Weather Service in New Braunfels said thunderstorms brought at least 2 to 3 inches of rain to the area. "Systems like this will dump this much rain," Rydell said. A cold front pushed through the state, firing off the storms. Bexar, Comal and Guadalupe counties were under flash flood warnings throughout the early part of the day. The Bracken Volunteer Fire Department reported four inches of rain. Rydell said the area did not receive nearly as much rain at the same time this past year. In April 2000, the area received about 1.22 inches of rain. The storms also brought hail through Bexar County. The weather caused at least one car wreck in the city. At 10:30 a.m. Monday, a 23-year-old Austin man was injured when his car rolled over on northbound Interstate 35 near Canyon High School. He was taken to Bracken-ridge Hospital, but his injuries were not life threatening. A New Braunfels Fire Department spokesman said firefighters and paramedics were dispatched on a number of weather-related calls Monday morning. At 8:30 a.m. Monday, firefighters went to a single family home in the 1500 block of Mission Valley Road to investigate a reported lightning strike. The home's alarm system was short-cir- K.

At 9:50 a.m., another lightning strike sent firefighters to a Mission Drive home. A bolt of lightning damaged a chimney and blew out a set of glass fireplace doors. Tile rain caused flooding on county roads, said County Engineer Ibm Hornseth. "It's typical with the storm we had. The usual low water crossings were flooded for a short period of time," he said. All were re-opened by Monday afternoon. The storm also caused a power loss Monday for residents living on the hill above Landa Park and West End residents, a New Braunfels Utilities spokesperson said. Their power was restored later in the day. The forecast for today calls for mostly cloudy skies with a few sprinkles early, then becoming partly cloudy. Highs will be in the 70s with winds from the north at IO to 15 miles an hour. Tonight will be mostly clear with lows between 47 and 50 degrees. By Amy Clarkson Staff Writer A proposal to move the fire administration from the New Braunfels Municipal Building sparked a heated debate about plans to expand the New Braunfels Civic Center at Monday night's City Council meeting. The Council voted to add up to $250,000 to the 2002 budget to move the fire administration. The funds include a feasibility study to either move the department into a city-owned, vacant building across the street or to add on to the existing Municipal Building. Councilman Robert Kendrick suggested moving the fire administration across the street into the vacant building that previously housed the police administration. The recommendation had been made at the budget workshop held with city staff members and city council March 29. City staff members estimated the cost to remodel the building at $250,000. That cost was merely an estimate, said Fire Chief Jack Collier. He said the fire administration would make that amount work if it would give them more space. "We need more space," he said. "That building would be a good fit. We could use the parking lot for training. If you agree to give us the money, we'll make it work." Collier said he was not opposed to expanding the Municipal Building to give his administration more space. Some council members questioned the cost of renovating the old police building. Mayor Stoney Williams said the cost would be too high. "I think $250,000 is low," he said. "The building needs plumbing. It needs air conditioning. Basically you just have walls in there. It's beenOther Action • Late Monday the Council still was debating a motion to rescind a request to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission for a contested case hearing for a water-use permit. The issue has been a contentious one for the council — with a faction of the council claiming that they did not intend to vote in favor of a contested case hearing. The vote to rescind takes a two-thirds majority of the council. Various civic and business leaders were present at the meeting to voice their opinion of the permit amendment. • The council also passed the first reading of an ordinance to create a river management fee of $1 to be charged to anyone who rents water-recreation equipment and uses any of the public exits inside city limits. The fee also applies to people who have their own equipment but whom ride city-permitted shuttles. • The council passed the first reading of an ordinance setting the proposed 2002 tax rate at about 31 cents. The rate is 3 percent higher than the effective tax rate of 29 cents. This year's tax rate is 32 cents, but higher valuations forced the tax rate down for the 2002 budget. gutted." City Manager Mike Shands said that if the Civic Center received funds needed to expand, then the building would be torn down for additional parking. Some council members questioned the need for the expansion. "I'm interested in police and fire and public safety," said Councilwoman Juliet Watson. "The chief has expressed a need for more space, and we need to answer that need."See COUNCILy3A Defense delves into Heiser investigation By Ron Maloney Staff Writer Defense attorneys on Monday chipped away at the investigation that led to the arrest of a Williamson County couple on charges they injured and endangered their 7-year-old daughter. The disciplinary practices in the home of Joseph and Yevette Heiser, of Liberty HUI, also were discussed. The Heisers, who defense attorney Roy Minton said don't believe in spanking children, reportedly used an escalating system of sanctions with their daughter. The system started with loss of television, progressed to "time out" and then, as a last resort, to making the 38-pound child hold a pair of 3.3-pound dumbbells over her head for up to IO minutes at a time. When she See TRIAL/3A CL man dies in collision CHRIS PACE/Herald-Zeitung A tow truck operator inspects a car involved in a fatal two-vehicle wreck Monday afternoon on FM 306. By Ron Maloney Staff Writer CANYON LAKE —A 51-year-old Canyon Lake man died Monday afternoon when his car collided with a pickup on a rain-slick-ened highway. Department of Public Safety Trooper Jason Freedman said Rudolfo Falan Jr., 51, died in the 5 p.m. wreck on Farm-to-Market Road 306, just north of Longhorn Flats. Falan was southbound on FM 306 in his compact, late model Mazda when Gary M. Stebbins, northbound in a one-ton Chevrolet pickup, lost control of his vehicle in a curve. Storms dumped several inches of rain on the area Monday, and another DPS trooper said Stebbins reported he was rounding the curve when his truck skidded on the wet road and went sideways across both lanes. "The man in the Mazda had nowhere to go," a sheriff's deputy said. Falan's car struck the pickup broadside at the point where its cab meets the bed — breaking the truck's frame and spinning it around. The truck came to rest against an embankment and then rolled down onto the top and hood of the Mazda, pinning the drivers of both vehicles. Justice of the Peace Howard Smith pronounced Falan dead. Stebbins was flown by helicopter to Brackenridge Hospital in Austin. His injuries were not life threatening. Freedman said Monday night the wreck still was under investigation. New city engineer to start work May 7 By Amy Clarkson Staff Writer When Michael Short and his wife, Barbara, visited relatives in Schertz, she fell in love with New Braunfels. Years later, the Shorts not only live in the city — Michael recently was selected to work there. City Manager Mike Shands hired Michael Short to be the new city engineer, replacing C.A. Bolner, who was fired in March. Short was one of five candidates for the position. "My wife just fell in love with New Braunfels," Short said. "She always said if we moved to Tbxas to be near my father, she wanted to live in New Braunfels. And it is outstanding that we not only get to live here now, but that I was hired by the city. We couldn't be happier." The Shorts moved here IO months ago from Boulder City, Nev., near Las Vegas. Michael said they moved after visiting his father in nearby Schertz. For the past IO months, he has com muted to Austin, where he has worked as project manager and engineer for Consort Inc. On May 7, he plans to join the ranks of the city employees as city engineer. Although he has been in the city less than a year, Short said he was aware of the streets and drainage problems he would face as engineer. "After talking with Mike Shands, I think the biggest problems are streets and drainage," he said.

PC manufacturers seem to be dropping like flies at present. Shortly after Sony confirmed it was selling its PC business and Vaio brand, LG is rumored to be planning its own exit from traditional PCs, to focus on smartphones, tablets and 'convertible' PCs (touchscreen Windows tablets that flip round into a laptop).
Other manufacturers are witnessing falling sales, prices and profits – with The Guardian calculating that the average profit per PC in the third quarter of 2013 fell to just £14.87 ($24.09). One manufacturer of conventional-format PCs, however, has remained almost immune to the trend: Apple … expand full story

When Apple reports its quarterly earnings later today, the news will be good, according to the consensus view of 47 Apple analysts compiled by Fortune.
Analysts are expecting the company to report earnings of $58.1B for the final quarter of last year (Apple's fiscal quarter 1), representing 4 percent earnings growth over the same quarter last year. This would be right at the top end of Apple's guidance of $55-58B, and the first time in a year that Apple would have reported year-on-year growth … expand full story

This Safeway Bus Driver Could Have Caused Several Accidents Today
Traffic, especially on EDSA, continues to become more chaotic each day. Aside from this horrific traffic situation in Metro Manila, is the lacking of driver's discipline. Like the buses that pose extreme threat because of the size and weight.
A dismayed concerned netizen named Gaby Herbosa shared her sentiments on social networking site Facebook regarding a 'crazy driver' of Safeway Bus she encountered while driving along EDSA. The video was uploaded last June 15 at 8:00pm went viral and in just 4 hours after uploading it to Facebook, the video was already shared 2,133 times.
This video shows a Safeway bus going back and forth across four lanes, swerving on a medium traffic along EDSA.
Here's the story on Herbosa's post on her facebook account:
I don't usually post these kinds of things but this crazy driver could have caused several accidents today.
5:50 PM, EDSA Northbound (Santolan area)
On the way home from school, we saw a Safeway bus go back and forth across the 4 lanes on EDSA. It cut in front of us almost hitting our car then swerved back on to its original lane. It then cut again in front of the Innova in front of us almost hitting it as well. It then swerved back again on to the lane it was originally on. What we caught on video was what happened after. It continued on swerving back and forth recklessly. What's in the video is a mild version of what the bus driver had initially done. We reported it to the nearest MMDA officer and showed him the video. Unfortunately, all he said was that it wasn't his problem. I honestly don't know what's worse, the crazy bus driver or the MMDA officer who said it wasn't his problem.
(*In the video, you see the Innova trying to cut in front of the bus. At this point, the driver of the Innova was already trying to "fight" the bus driver.)
To all the people on the road, stay safe.
Here's the video posted by Gaby herbosa on Facebook:
Safeway Bus is the only bus company who passed the random audit for compliance with road worthiness and safety regulations conducted by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) last February 1, 2014.

Peeking over his shiny championship belt, Georges St-Pierre looked anything but a winner at the UFC 167 post-fight news conference.
His swollen forehead was covered with red welts like a horrific case of acne. There were cuts under both black eyes. His battered face looked like he had been in a car crash.
Perhaps more worrying was the hidden hurt inside.
Moments after winning a controversial, razor-thin split decision over No.1 contender Johny (Bigg Rigg) Hendricks on Saturday night, the battered UFC welterweight champion hinted at retirement in cryptic post-fight comments in the cage – citing unexplained personal issues and the need to step away – before being transported to hospital.
When he returned to the MGM Grand Garden Arena midway through the post-fight news conference, the Canadian poured gasoline on the fire.
"I can't sleep at night now. I'm going crazy." he said. "I have issues. I need to relax. I need to get out for a while. I don't know what I'm going to do."
He declined to detail the issues. UFC president Dana White, after meeting privately with the 32-year-old from Montreal, said St-Pierre's personal problems "aren't as bad as he thinks they are."
"Yeah, we'll get through this," he added.
Still, St-Pierre, the biggest draw in mixed martial arts, essentially suffered a meltdown inside and outside the cage.
"I gave everything. I left my soul in the octagon tonight," he said of the gruelling battle with Hendricks.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper was still pleased with St-Pierre's win, tweeting his congratulations.
"I would like to congratulate @GeorgesStPierre on his victory in #UFC167. Great fight!" Harper said from his verified Twitter account.
For UFC president Dana White, it was a nightmare finale to a card billed as a celebration of the UFC's 20-year anniversary.
White was irate that two of the three judges had scored the fight 48-47 for the champion, giving him three of the five rounds and a split decision. And then he heard his pay-per-view king say, out of the blue, that he was walking away from the sport – for how long, nobody knew.
While St-Pierre (25-2) was receiving treatment, White seethed at the decision in post-fight news conference.
"It's about damage. This is a fight. It's whoever inflicts the most damage," he said, "He [St-Pierre] got hurt, he got wobbled, he got dropped.
"Yeah, I'm blown away that Georges St-Pierre won that fight. And listen, I'm a promoter. He's the biggest pay-per-view star on the planet for me. And I still don't think he won that fight. I want what's fair and that wasn't fair.
"I think the Nevada State Athletic Commission is atrocious. I think the governor needs to step in immediately before these guys destroy this sport like they did boxing."
Judges Sal D'Amato and Tony Weeks scored rounds one, three and five for St-Pierre. Glenn Trowbridge scored the first, second and fourth for Hendricks.White gave all but round three to Hendricks (15-2).
St-Pierre, who arrived 30 minutes into the news conference after receiving medical treatment, said he thought he won three of the five rounds, with the final round being the decisive one. But he sounded anything but convincing.
As reporters tried to get the champion to elaborate on his post-fight comments about what was troubling him, St-Pierre's eyes glistened. At one point, former light-heavyweight champion Rashad Evans – who has trained with St-Pierre – leaned over and gave him a supportive squeeze.
While it may come with an asterisk in the eyes of some, it was a record 19th win in the UFC for St-Pierre, moving him past Hall of Famer Matt Hughes at 18. It also extended his string of victories to 12, the longest current run in the UFC.
The victory also moved GSP past former middleweight champion Anderson Silva for most wins in UFC title bouts at 12.

Braces have come to the rescue for those who don't feel confident with their smiles. They are used for teeth alignments in the event of your teeth being misaligned, twisted or crooked. For those wearing it knows what it takes to wear such braces. The appearance of these braces can be a distraction to the person's face and it might not create an impression. This makes them lose confidence & can affect their self-esteem. It's for those who are looking to avoid such embarrassments that invisible braces were introduced.
Unlike invisible braces, wearing a standard brace can often create discomfort and pains. In worst cases, some people also have sores or ulcers as these braces rub against the gums constantly. Adding fuel to the fire, traditional braces kept it hard for people to smile with content. These impacts made a lot of people to refrain from wearing such traditional braces as they are concerned about their personal and professional life. In the contrary, invisible braces act as a great alternative for teeth alignments. As the name implies, invisible braces are invisible as they are placed behind the teeth and they are very comfortable to wear. One could yield the much needed results as expected from traditional braces, except for the fact that they are painless and trouble-free.
Invisible braces or clear braces are easy to remove, unlike standard braces which make it another convincing factor to rely upon it. This enables you to brush your teeth conveniently as you normally do, and you don't have to wait until you can have a bite of your favorite snack. And obviously, you can smile with full confidence while you pose for a snap. Clear braces also align teeth faster than traditional ones do. It takes almost a year with these braces to get appropriate results, which is a huge relief from the 5 year period required to attain the desired outcome from standard braces.
Being safe, comfortable, invisible and reliable, invisible braces are being preferred to standard braces by people who'd like to get their teeth aligned. So don't be concerned about teeth alignments anymore, as you can be who you are with invisible braces.
The author is a leading dentist who offers invisible braces in Sydney for teeth alignment treatments. He shares his knowledge about the benefits of invisible braces people can exploit for easy and comfortable teeth alignments.

... and within minutes a portion of lightly battered (almost breaded) cod came up with a generous portion of chips.
Now it could be that we haven't had fish and chips in over a year or it could be that these really were the best around, but either way, we demolished that box of yummy-ness in no time and left feeling very content indeed!
But there was no time for a sleepy siesta in ...

Our Cape Cod experience is quite different to Cape May. While we have bikes available to us we can't cycle as the roads are narrow - no footpaths and no cycle lanes. There are bike trails around the Cape but we can't transport them in our rental car.
We can walk to 2 golf courses, can fish in the pond below our house but must tour by car. We found a really good natural history museum and a walk through ...

Date: 6th of April 2017
Venue/Time: Robin Murray Rm A in the IoPPN 6pm.
Please join us for an evening of consideration on
Beth Elliott, Director of the Bethlem Gallery and Maker Sue Burbidge talk about practice and process at the Bethlem Gallery. What takes place before, during and after the making of an artwork? How are artists enabled to do what they do? Does the work lie in the minds of the audience, who after encountering the artwork, carry into the world with them new ideas, questions, feelings or forms? Join us for an evening of discussion to reach beyond art as an object and identify what might be called the 'by-products' of the art process.
Beth Elliot is currently working as the director of the Bethlem Gallery. Since graduating from University of the Arts London, Camberwell in 2002 she has focused her work on facilitating arts in mental health through workshops, residencies and exhibitions, and has also played an active role in supporting arts charities within the sector and beyond.
The Bethlem Gallery, established 1997, is a contemporary gallery situated on the grounds of the Bethlem Royal Hospital. The gallery delivers a programme of events that seeks to support artistic practice, strives to engage audiences in dialogue and debate on the subject of mental health alongside highlighting the value of access to the arts in healthcare environments and their importance in recovery.
To find out more about the gallery, please visit their website at http://bethlemgallery.com/

Upcoming Art of Psychiatry speaker meeting:
"James Tilly Matthews and the Influencing Machine"
With our speaker – writer, historian and curator Mike Jay
Date: Thursday February 23rd
Venue: Robin Murray B Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience.
Time: 6pm
Please join us for a speaker meeting concerning the fascinating case of James Tilly Matthews. James Tilly Matthews was a former peace activist of the Napoleonic Wars. He was confined to the Bedlam asylum in 1797 for believing that his mind was under the control of the "Air Loom" – a terrifying machine whose mesmeric rays and mysterious gases were brainwashing politicians and plunging Europe into revolution, terror, and war. But caught up in high-level diplomatic intrigues in the chaos of the French revolution many of the conspiracies in which Matthews claimed to be involved were entirely real.
Matthew's "Influencing Machine" has recently been materialized by artist Rod Dickinson, and is currently on view at the Bethlem Gallery.
About Mike Jay:
Mike Jay is a historian, curator and writer. His recent book is This Way Madness Lies, a highly illustrated history of madness and the asylum, published in the UK and USA by Thames & Hudson. It was written in conjunction with Wellcome Collection's exhibition Bedlam: the asylum and beyond, on which he was guest curator. His previous book, The Influencing Machine, is out in paperback and on Kindle. He reviews regularly for the London Review of Books, the Wall Street Journal and the Literary Review.

Upcoming Art of Psychiatry speaker meeting :
Date: 17 November 2016
Venue/time: Viewing of exhibition in Maudsley Hospital Long Gallery 1745-1815hrs then Robin Murray Rm A in the IoPPN (see directions below)
Please join us for our last AoP meeting of the year!
We're delighted that Caroline Smith, Interim Director of the Bethlem Museum of the mind will join us to speak about the current Maudsley Hospital Long Gallery exhibition "Before and After", and exhibition of photographs of Bethlem patients from the mid-19th Century.
Between 1857 and 1859 Regent Street portrait photographer Henry Hering made several visits to Bethlem Royal Hospital, then at St George's Fields, Southwark. He photographed several patients on the general wards as well as in its criminal department. These photographs more closely resemble ordinary portraits of the time rather than the 'passport' images of later asylum photography and capture individuals who have left little trace in the historical record. It is likely that he was attempting to document what was then known as the "physiognomy of insanity" or to provide evidence for the success of Bethlem's new regime, though no record of his intentions has been kept. Whatever his purpose, the enduring result is a striking record of institutional life in mid-Victorian Britain.
Caroline Smith is currently Interim Director at Bethlem Museum of the Mind and part of a team behind Bethlem's new Museum of the Mind (opened February 2015). Caroline also works as a freelance lecturer on painting and the history of art. She has a particular interest in early photography and in 2012-13, received funding from the National Portrait Gallery to support further research into the Bethlem photographs of Henry Hering.

Upcoming Art of Psychiatry Society speaker meeting
Thursday 17 March 2016 6pm
Seminar room 1 Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, Denmark Hill.
Please join us for a speaker meeting about American abstract artist Agnes Martin, recently the subject of a Tate Modern retrospective. We're very pleased that Dr Lena Fritsch, Tate Modern Assistant curator will be our speaker guest.
"Agnes Martin: her Art and Life"
Agnes Martin (1912–2004) was an American abstract painter. She was born in Canada but lived most of her life in the United States. She is best known for her meticulously rendered grid paintings and evocative stripes paintings marked out in subtle pencil lines and pale colour washes. Her art and way of living had a significant influence on her own, and subsequent generations of artists. After becoming a key figure in the male-dominated fields of 1950s and 1960s abstraction in New York, Martin abandoned the city in 1967 and went in search of solitude, settling in New Mexico. Martin suffered from schizophrenia throughout her adult life. Working within tightly prescribed limits that she imposed on her own practice Martin was able to continue to make extraordinary paintings until her death in 2004.
Dr. Lena Fritsch is Assistant Curator at Tate Modern, working on exhibitions (most recently Agnes Martin), displays and acquisitions of international art with a special focus on the Asia-Pacific region. Fritsch studied art history, Japanese studies and English studies at Bonn University, Germany as well as Keio University, Tokyo. She completed a PhD in 2010 with a thesis on Japanese photography (The Body as a Screen: Japanese Art Photography of the 1990s, Georg Olms, Hildesheim 2011). Before joining Tate Modern in 2013, she worked at the Directorate General of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum of Contemporary Art, Berlin. Most recent publications include: 'The Floating Dresses of Hiroshima: War Memory in Ishiuchi Miyako's Photography', in Ayelet Zohar (ed.): Beyond Hiroshima: The Return of the Suppressed, Genia Schreiber University Art Gallery, Tel Aviv 2015; 'Well, I sit here and wait to be inspired: Photographs of Agnes Martin' in Frances Morris (ed.), Agnes Martin, Tate Modern, London 2015; 'Von dunkler Dekadenz und christlicher Mystik: Verbindungen zwischen Geoffrey Hills Gedicht "A Pre-Raphaelite Notebook" und präraffaelitischen Bildern [Dark Decadence and Christian Mysticism: Relationships Between Geoffrey Hill's Poem "A Pre-Raphaelite Notebook" and Pre-Raphaelite Paintings]', in Susanne Gramatzki and Renate Kroll (eds.), Wie Texte und Bilder zusammenfinden, Berlin 2015.

"Bryan Charnley: The Art of Schizophrenia"
Date: 20 August 2015
Time: 1800
Venue: Robin Murray A Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience
Please join us for what will be a fascinating AoP meeting with our speaker Kirsten Tambling
Bryan Charnley (1949-1991) was a British artist whose work sought to convey the experience of living with schizophrenia, a condition with which was first diagnosed at art college. After several years of painting photo-realistic depictions of the world around him, in the mid-1980s Charnley turned his attention to self-portraiture and what he called 'bondaged heads' – fractured 'portraits' that drew inspiration from William Kurelek's The Maze. Charnley's work formed the basis for Bryan Charnley: the Art of Schizophrenia, the inaugural exhibition at Bethlem Museum of the Mind. This talk, by the exhibition's curator, will explore Charnley's approach to painting as it developed throughout his career, and will focus on the idea of coming (as Charnley put it) 'face to face with schizophrenia', by examining the recurring motifs of faces and (self-)portraiture in Charnley's work.
About Kirsten Tambling:
Kirsten Tambling was guest curator of the exhibition Bryan Charnley: The Art of Schizophrenia at Bethlem Museum of the Mind (16 February – 22 May 2015) and has previously worked in the curatorial departments of the Royal Collection, the National Gallery and Dr Johnson's House. She has an MPhil in eighteenth-century studies from the University of Cambridge and an MA in Curating from the Courtauld Institute of Art. Her PhD, beginning this September, will focus on the intersections between William Hogarth and Jean-Antoine Watteau. She tweets at @otherplications.
This is an open meeting – all are welcome – including service users, SLaM employees, psychiatry trainees, and members of the public.

Art and the Other brings together art works and objects that raise questions about our relationship to others and otherness. The Bethlem Gallery artists chosen give voice to human and non-human actors who are often relegated to the margins, confronting us with an otherness that can never be fully captured but nonetheless demands our attention.

Calmodulin sensitive kinase (CASK/mLIN-2) is a ~112-kDa member of the membrane associated quanylate kinase (MAGUK) protein family with multiple protein binding domains. These include an N-terminal calmodulin kinase (CaMKII) domain and C-terminal PDZ, SH3-, and quanylate kinase domains. CASK possesses both tyrosine kinase and serine/threonine kinase activity. In addition, CASK can form a heterotrimeric complex with Mint (X11or mLIN-10) and Veli (mLIN-7) proteins which is predicted to participate in plasma membrane receptor localization. CASK is localized to neuronal synapses and also interacts with syndecan and neurexin. The guanylate kinase domain of CASK has been shown to interact with the T-box transcription factor, Tbr-1, as a coactivator to induce transcription of genes that contain T-elements.

Leadership: Just three days after President Obama delivered his "get tough" speech on Ukraine aimed squarely at Vladimir Putin, Russia's president has responded — not with words, but deeds.
Obama has been lauded for his speech on Monday regarding Russia's role in downing Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, killing 298 people.
"Russia has extraordinary influence over these (Russian) separatists," the commander-in-chief said sternly. "No one denies that. Russia has urged them on. Russia has trained them. We know that Russia has armed them with military equipment and weapons, including anti-aircraft weapons. Key separatist leaders are Russian citizens."
Sounds like he was ready to lower the boom. But he didn't. Instead, he called on Putin to "cooperate with the investigation" and warned "Russia will only further isolate itself from the international community." Boy, that must have made Putin quake.
A picture is emerging here of the Russian dictator. Whether seizing Crimea, launching a cyberattack on tiny Estonia, bullying the Czech Republic and Poland, maneuvering to cut Ukraine to pieces, overseeing the assassination of journalists and former spies, aiding rogue Syria and Iran, or — most recently — reopening a Soviet-era spy base in Cuba, he feels empowered, emboldened even, by the weak response in the West.
But can't we just push the reset button? Sorry, but no. As Commentary Magazine's Max Boot reminds us, Europe's leaders can't even agree to stiffen the piddling sanctions now in place against Russia.
France, it seems, fears losing defense sales there, and Germany needs natural gas. And all of fiscally strapped Europe wants investments from Russian billionaires. So don't look for toughness from them — or us.
The U.S. defense build-down has left too few fighting forces in Europe. And Obama abandoned plans for an anti-missile system in Poland and the Czech republic.
U.S. intelligence sources now suggest that Russian-backed separatists were directly behind the missile strike — which Russia denies, claiming absurdly that it was Ukraine's doing — or that the missile salvo perhaps even originated on Russian soil.
Either way, Putin would be implicated in the crime. Yet if he fears either Obama's tough talk or the West's sanctions, it isn't showing.
Putin answered Obama's speech loud and clear on Wednesday, when Russian separatists shot down two Ukrainian jets — a mere six days after Flight 17 was blown out of the sky and on the very day the first bodies were returned to the Netherlands.
This stamps in boldface Putin's contempt for the U.S., NATO and the rest of the weaklings in the West. Given the heightened fear and global uproar over the downing of a commercial plane, shooting down more jets — even military aircraft — shows nothing but spite.
It also underscores the naivete of Obama and his administration. They thought they could just "push the reset button" and the former KGB thug would melt into a wimpy European social democrat.
Instead, he turned into a monster — Putinstein. Now the only question is, who will save the villagers?

Protecting water resources
With focus on local planning, Crow Wing County Board agrees to participate in watershed grant application
Will the future of water planning to protect resources be driven from a plan developed at the local level or a regional viewpoint?
Crow Wing County commissioners Tuesday voted unanimously in favor of submitting a grant application to participate in a pilot program with neighboring counties.
The program is aimed at taking a holistic approach to protecting water quality by looking at watersheds.
A watershed is described as a land area where all the water, both under the earth and water draining from the surface goes to the same place.
Two years ago, the Local Government Water Roundtable, a collaboration of entities including Minnesota counties, determined the public interest was best served by a watershed and aquifer approach to protecting water resources in the state.
Watersheds come in all sizes and pay no heed to county and state and national jurisdictional boundaries.
There are 81 major watersheds in Minnesota. There are 2,267 watersheds in the nation and Puerto Rico.
The 2012 water roundtable included the Association of Minnesota Counties, the Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts and the Minnesota Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts.
Following the roundtable's work, the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) — which oversees water planning in the state — developed a plan for a one-watershed, one-plan initiative. The plan came with an offer of about $500,000 for a handful of pilot programs across the state. The focus, at the major watershed level, means collaboration of multiple counties.
Crow Wing County was asked to participate with Aitkin, Morrison and Todd counties for the Mississippi River for the Brainerd major watershed and with Wadena, Hubbard and Cass counties for the Crow Wing River watershed.
Each grant project is anticipated to have a budget of $75,000 to $100,000.
"Although these pilot projects would require a plan for the entire major watershed, Crow Wing County would work to direction planning efforts at the minor-watershed level within these watersheds," a staff report to the board stated of the primary reasons to participate. "This 'bottom-up' approach has received favor from BWSR and would continue to help keep water planning at a local (versus regional) level by relying on the strengths of existing inter-county partnerships rather than creating another form of governance (i.e. a watershed district)."
Participation comes at no cost to the county, said Mitch Brinks, county water protection specialist, noting the grant would cover staff work hours for the project.
Commissioner Paul Thiede said he sees this as a way to tap into available dollars to look at a broader scope. Thiede said he thinks this is the right way to do it. Chris Pence, land services supervisor, said the county can be part of the plan or be dictated to from the state level.
Thiede said by being involved, the county can make subwatersheds the focus, where the rubber meets the road.
"If we make subwatersheds the real driving factor I think we're ahead of the game," Thiede said.
Brinks said the county is really just strengthening what is it already doing in collaborating with neighboring counties.
Commissioner Paul Koering said he had a lot of confidence in Land Services Director Mark Liedl.
Koering asked Liedl if this whole watershed focus was going overboard.
"Do you think we are being level-headed about this?" Koering asked.
Liedl said he did.
"I think if we don't play a role, the chances that they will run amok are greater," Liedl said. "Is there too much government? Yeah, I think so, but with county level government we can be far more efficient and effective for less money than governments traditionally have spent."
Liedl said a new group could come in and try to undo it all.
"That's part of the democratic process," Liedl said.
Liedl said the county has worked to restore property rights in the zoning ordinance, made the language easier to understand and he thinks that change will outlast them.
"Water is our lifeblood here," Liedl said, adding that doesn't mean government should be out of control in protecting it "but certainly it's something we should value it and we should do whatever we can to protect it for future generations."
Koering said as long as he's on the board he's going to try to be the gatekeeper of bringing reality. Koering said sometimes government goes overboard in riding herd over every aspect of someone's life whether it's health care or what they can do on their property.
Board Chairwoman Rosemary Franzen noted watershed districts have taxing power. Franzen said the key to this approach is the language stating it would continue to keep water planning on the local level with partnerships rather than creating a watershed district.
The grant is expected to be awarded in the fall of 2014.

PANTON — In September 2011, about a dozen Panton residents voted at a special meeting not to spend $70,000 to fix both Town Hall's roof and the building's cupola with the cupola in place, opting instead to spend about $32,000 to remove the cupola and fix the roof.
Since then, the cupola has been sitting on blocks behind and to the left of Town Hall, waiting while Panton officials have understandably dedicated limited town funds to more pressing needs.

PANTON — A town-wide effort officially kicked off at Panton Town Hall on Tuesday morning that has the potential to help Panton's farmers, business owners and roughly 700 residents save money on their power bills — and could make the rural lakeside town a statewide model of energy efficiency.
PANTON — Green Mountain Power and Efficiency Vermont officials will come to Panton on Tuesday morning to announce a community-wide energy transformation project there intended to reduce energy costs for homeowners and businesses, lower their fossil fuel use, and improve their comfort.
According to a GMP press release, the effort "will put Panton at the forefront of energy innovation in Vermont as the first town to know its total energy use, cost and carbon, giving it the ability to track energy and carbon-saving improvements."
PANTON — While Green Mountain Power waits for the Public Service Board to approve a huge solar array in Panton, GMP officials and the town selectboard have been working on details of not only a company pledge to Panton to upgrade town buildings, but also a larger effort to make energy-efficiency improvements available to Panton farms, businesses and homes.
PANTON — Late last week, Panton officials and Green Mountain Power were closing in on an agreement on how the town would benefit from GMP's proposed $11 million, 4.99-megawatt solar farm off Panton Road not far from Panton Town Hall, and how GMP would install landscape screening.
Town and GMP officials met on Thursday evening, and Selectman John Viskup said on Friday morning that he was hopeful a memorandum of understanding (MOU) could be signed later that afternoon.
PANTON — A local migrant worker pleaded innocent on March 11 in Rutland District Court, criminal division, to three felony charges — including kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault — stemming from a Feb. 18 incident in Panton during which he allegedly held a woman against her will and forced her to have intercourse with him.
The defendant in the case is 25-year-old Gustavo Perez-Lopez, who is currently being held without bail at the Marble Valley Correctional Center in Rutland.
PANTON — Panton residents decide on town spending and a selectboard member from the floor of town meeting on Tuesday morning at Panton Town Hall, and cast votes at the same site on school spending and Addison Northwest Supervisory Union Unification (see story on ANwSU merger, Page 1A).
Selectman HowardHall, who was appointed to the selectboard in 2015, was returned to office at the morning meeting.
PANTON — Panton residents will decide on town spending and officers from the floor of town meeting at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, March 1, at Panton Town Hall, and cast votes from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. at the same site on school spending and Addison Northwest Supervisory Union unification (see story on ANwSU merger).
PANTON — Two new 500-kilowatt solar arrays are being proposed in Panton, both on land owned by the Vorsteveld Farm.
Green Lantern Group Director of Project Development Sam Carlson met with the Panton selectboard on Oct. 27 to give board members a heads-up on the company's plans for the proposed arrays, one off Panton Road across from Basin Harbor Road, and one across Jersey Street from the main Vorsteveld barn.
PANTON — Green Mountain Power is proposing to install and operate an $11 million, 4.99-megawatt solar farm in Panton. The project would be more than twice the size of the largest existing Addison County arrays and is also as large as any such venture GMP is proposing in Vermont.
The site proposed is 40 acres of a 327-acre parcel that is part of Panton's largest dairy operation, the Vorsteveld Farm. The site lies in the town's north end, between Panton Road and the Ferrisburgh town line, east of Jersey Street and west of Slang Creek.

A quick post. My wife just arrived in Cape Town on business. She sent me this photo a little while ago from her hotel room:
South Africa
Hunted By The Internet
Many years ago, I was lucky enough to glimpse – from a vehicle, a good distance away – a snoozing lion in South Africa's Kruger National Park. It was a sunny mid-morning, he was partly hidden by high grass, and I recall him being utterly indifferent to all of the attention from the ever-increasing numbers of parked cars and tour vehicles desperate to see him. I also remember the guide saying it was unusual to see one so close to a road at that time of day.
The idea of shooting him? The 19th century is long gone. Frederick Selous and Theodore Roosevelt are dead nearly a hundred years now.
For some, though, a fascination with "big-game hunting" remains:
Exile was also once a common form of punishment. The ancient Athenians used it. So did ancient Rome. More recently, Britain and other European countries put "outlaws" on ships and packed them off to Australia or "the New World."
Calming The Storm
It was 1998. I remember it happening like this.
A woman friend and I weren't sure about having lunch at what was a non-descript, although decent looking, roadside diner/restaurant we happened to be driving by. It sat just outside of Swellendam, near Cape Town, South Africa.
It was a sunny, warm day. We pulled in, parked and started to amble to the restaurant door. Even as we walked towards the building we were still unsure if it was where we wanted to eat; but the parking lot was pretty full, and the place seemed to be buzzing. We shrugged, it would probably do.
That's Cricket
Happened to see this tweet this morning, and it got me thinking:
Many Americans may not like soccer, but at least they get what's going on: each team want to get the ball into the opposing team's goal somehow without using their hands.
Cricket is certainly more complicated. I won't even attempt to explain nuances. In simple terms, it's not unlike baseball. However, there is nowhere that's a "foul ball" – everywhere is in play.
To score runs, after the one who is being "bowled" at makes contact with the ball and decides to try to run, both batsmen run back and forth between the wickets accumulating runs until they don't want to risk being run "out." A batsman is "out" (like a runner in baseball) if the fielding team somehow knocks the batsman's wicket down. Every time running batsmen switch wickets (and they run carrying their bats), it earns their team 1 run.
A ball hit that rolls across the marked field boundary is an automatic 4 runs. (No running between wickets is required.) One that clears it on the fly is 6 runs. Hence the term one often hears in places like Britain and Australia: "Hit for 6." It's like saying "home run."
The teams do that for two "innings" – for 10 outs per team; hence the high scores. That's essentially the gist of the game. Once I figured out what they were trying to do, I admit I was hooked.
The first time I really paid close attention to a match in progress was during the 1999 World Cup. It was Australia vs. South Africa – and if you know cricket you know to what I'm referring. Two names: Lance Klusener and Allan Donald:
What an introduction to the game. My wife also warned me afterwards, "It's great fun to watch at times, but don't think it's always that exciting." 😉
Have a good Monday!
Bottom Places
I"ve shared my personal "top places" list. We all like to talk "best." When we travel, we tend not to seek out "the worst."
But what about "bottom places"? Uh, I knew you'd ask that. 😉
A "bottom" issue is one to be approached cautiously. We know there are "bottom" areas in any major city. The U.S. certainly doesn't lack for them.
Outside of the U.S., if we say London is a great destination, we are likely not referring to certain neighborhoods in the north of the city, which are clearly not "tourist areas." Similarly with Paris. Same Rome. The list could go on.
And there are many places I have never visited. And I hate criticizing. All that said, if I have to offer up a "bottom" major central city destination I have encountered traveling outside of the U.S., it was probably Johannesburg's central business district.
South Africa is a difficult case, of course, owing to its history. Yet, comparatively, Cape Town's downtown was excellent. Even Pretoria's was fine.
My experience in Johannesburg was also in the late 1990s, which is now, naturally, a relatively long time ago. Years fly by so quickly. To end on a positive note, I have read Jo'burg's CBD is somewhat improved, and working hard to improve further since then.
Name Your Favorite Author
I find naming a "favorite" author a tough question to answer. My fiction likes have varied over the years. If I think on a novelist I have liked consistently for the longest, probably at the top of my personal favorites list sits Alan Paton (1903-1988), the South African anti-apartheid author of Cry, The Beloved Country, Too Late The Phalarope, and Ah, But Your Land Is Beautiful.
I suppose – given what I have composed – it is no surprise I greatly admired Paton's ability, especially in Ah, But Your Land Is Beautiful, to produce "fiction" from history, and to create "fictional characters" based on real people. (Yet it is pretty clear as well to readers reasonably familiar with South African history of the 1950s, that, say, "Dr. Hendrik" in "Land," is future apartheid prime minister Hendrik Verwoerd. Obviously there were times Paton's "fictional" characters were meant to be easily identifiable, real people, as interpreted "fictionally" by Paton.)
After Land was published in 1981, Paton admitted that its white liberal politician, "Robert Mansfield," was based on himself. "Mansfield" eventually emigrates to Australia as a result of the apartheid government's harassment. The real Alan Paton never fled the country, but of "Mansfield" Paton told interviewers:
"I didn't like him, so I sent him off to Australia."
True, writing a novel in which a main character is based on yourself is not exactly groundbreaking. Yet, in that same novel, written by you, you do not like "yourself" all that much, so you send "yourself" into exile? Brilliant.

Olympic Logo Rorschach Test
An article in today's New York Times reports that the newly-unveiled — and wildly unpopular — logo for the 2012 London Olympics has, among other things, been compared to a swastika. But not all have seen grounds for charging antisemitism. Daniel Finkelstein of the London Times sees embedded in the design the word "zion."
