News director Connie Swinney broadcasts on the hour at 6, 7 and 8 a.m., and noon, 4, 5 and 6 p.m. each weekday with interviews and news about your local government and schools and spot news in Blanco, Buchanan Dam, Burnet, Llano, Marble Falls, Johnson City, Lampasas, Spicewood and everywhere in between.
No other news organization in the Highland Lakes comes close to the quality and experience of the KBEY news team for fast and accurate coverage of local events with reports brought to you by DailyTrib.com with Daniel Clifton and Jared Fields.
You'll hear it from our team of reporters first.
Reporter Connie Swinney got her start in journalism at a young age. She boldly applied for a position as an on-air disc jockey at a Big Spring radio station when she was just 17 and still in high school. And, she got the job!
She is now the news producer for KBEY 103.9 FM Radio Picayune and a staff writer for The Picayune and DailyTrib.com, covering the Highland Lakes. Her road to reporting wound through radio, print and even TV journalism in West Texas and the Hill Country, culminating in a perfect skills match for Victory Publishing's many endeavors in Marble Falls.
Swinney grew up in Big Spring, where she graduated from high school and worked as a DJ and a news reporter for the local station.
"I answered an ad and got the job," she says with her signature confidence. "At first, it was challenging, but I had good people around me, and they helped me sharpen my skills. I began to thrive and crave the daily demands of delivering the news."
She took that experience — and her craving for news — with her to Texas Tech University, where she majored in broadcast journalism. She was news editor on the University Daily with a team of seven reporters. Her first job out of college was as the DJ on the overnight shift at an oldies station in Lubbock
"It was such a blast," she says. "I developed an appreciation for an eclectic mix of music."
She also developed an eclectic mix of skills, producing commercials and delivering the weather and public service announcements along with Deejaying.
After moving back to her hometown of Big Spring, she began a stint as a print journalist. She also met her husband, Billy Joe. She worked at the Big Spring Herald and the Waco Tribune Herald before moving to New Braunfels with her family, including twins, Aidin and Chloe. For several years, she worked as a stay-at-home mom while still freelancing for the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung.
At home in the Highland Lakes
Since 1998, she and her family have been in the Highland Lakes, where her journalism experience continued to grow. She was soon covering nine counties in the Hill Country as a TV reporter for KXAN-NBC. Although she had majored in TV journalism in college, she felt like a fish out of water, she says.
"This was my first opportunity to become a full-fledged broadcaster," she says. "I had the opportunity to work with some of the best in the business, and they wrestled the print out of me."
Well, not really. She's still pretty good at that. What they did give her was another medium for her reporting skills, one that has served her and Victory Publishing well.
"It helped me evolve from a print-minded person to a broadcast-minded person," she says. "Because of their guidance and applying my knowledge of news gathering, I was able to become very effective at it."
So effective, in fact, that Victory Publishing owner Dan Alvey soon offered her a job. He was looking to move into broadcast and online journalism with a TV component.
"I love working for a family-owned company," she says. "It fits in with my values. I also work with very talented and knowledgeable staff, so it's a pleasure to work in an atmosphere where you're encouraged to grow, be creative, be professional. It was almost as though all my experience prepared me to work for Victory because the elements of print media, online, video, radio, marketing and promotions are an integral part of the success of the company."

Adapted by Nicholas Meyer from Philip Roth's novel, The Dying Animal, Elegy is the story of a contemplative but sadly selfish college professor who recognizes with frustration and repressed anger that his life has turned into its home stretch. David Kepesh (Ben Kingsley) is a charismatic teacher of cultural studies. His books have landed him on Charlie Rose, and he's a regular contributor to The New Yorker and commentator for NPR. In intellectual circles, he's famous and successful. He is also a lonely, empty man. Long ago he walked out on his wife when their son was still a child. Today the son, Kenneth (Peter Sarsgaard), is an accomplished physician, but he has never forgiven David, even though we perceive a desire for reconciliation.
David has sustained a lifelong, confidential camaraderie with his squash partner and drinking buddy, prize-winning poet George O'Hearn (Dennis Hopper). Both are too cool to admit it, but we come to understand that these two old satyrs mean more to each other than either is willing to acknowledge. But for the most part, David has filled his days with work and his bed with a series of younger women intoxicated by his classroom erudition but not brought to his apartment until after grades have been posted. He's had a two-decade, at least marginally satisfying relationship with a former student named Carolyn (Patricia Clarkson), who has become a powerhouse businesswoman, but she lives on the west coast. They see each other only occasionally, and it's clear to both of them that their relationship will never flower beyond its intermittent status.
Currently, David has his lustful eyes set on Consuela Constillo (Penelope Cruz), a Cuban-American graduate student in one of his classes. When David spies Consuela with her slightly formal manners, her schoolgirl bangs and her intellectual eagerness, he wants only to turn on his reliable professorial charm so as to seduce her. But a terribly upending development occurs between evening cocktails and morning coffee: David actually falls in love with Consuela. And this is more disconcerting than the inevitably decaying course of his routine conquests. David is more than 30 years older than Consuela, and he is convinced he could never hold on to the affections of someone as bright and beautiful as Consuela (and Cruz has never seemed brighter or more luminously beautiful). This unprecedented insecurity, born of uncharacteristic caring, leads David to behave in ways counter to his own interest.
Stemming from Roth's novel, which wrestles with ideas that have also concerned the writer in Sabbath's Theater and elsewhere, Elegy is extensively a reflection on aging. In his role as narrator, David quotes Bette Davis' observation that "Old age is not for sissies," and Tolstoy's assertion that "Old age is the biggest surprise man faces because in his head, nothing has changed." David also admits that he's jumped from one relationship to the next since his marriage ended because the young girls in his bed remained the same age and "made him feel that time wasn't passing." In short, David's relentless tom-catting is a frantic grasp for youth, and however much we more traditional types may disapprove of his lifestyle, we can sympathize with his dismay at the toll time inevitably takes.
The power of Elegy proceeds from its sympathetic understanding of the human condition and from the film's splendid performances. Patricia Clarkson is excellent as always, heartbreaking in Carolyn's admission that men no longer look at her the way they once did. Sarsgaard's wounded eyes capture the hurt and yearning that define Ken's relationship with his father. Cruz is a wonder, the best she's ever been, her Consuela the film's ultimate hero. And Kingsley is brilliant. One wouldn't think the same actor could play Gandhi and the murderous thug Don Logan in Sexy Beast. But he has. One wouldn't think that, graying and bald, he could be convincing as a sexual Olympian. But he is. As he's supposed to, his David is the kind of man you shouldn't like, but you do.

Susanne Steinem Patch, 82; Gem Expert
Wednesday, November 7, 2007
Susanne Steinem Patch, 82, an expert in gems who became a staff attorney for the Federal Trade Commission, died Nov. 2 at Carriage Hill nursing home in Bethesda of complications from a stroke.
Mrs. Patch worked in the gem field most of her life. At the FTC, she was assigned to the Bureau of Consumer Protection, where she worked on its franchise rule and revision of its guides for the jewelry, watch and metallic watchband industries. She worked there from 1980 to 1994.
She also wrote "Blue Mystery: The Story of the Hope Diamond," (1976) and appeared on several television shows as an expert on the diamond, debunking the myth of its curse.
The deep blue, 45.5-carat Hope Diamond, which was donated to the Smithsonian in 1958 by New York jewelers Harry Winston Inc., for years was the most-viewed object in the National Museum of Natural History. Its last private owner was Washington socialite Evalyn Walsh McLean, who wore the gem. A myth of a curse followed the diamond through history.
Originally a crudely cut triangular 112-carat blue diamond first bought in India in 1642, it was named "French Blue" when it was cut down to 67 carats in 1673 to improve its symmetry and brilliance. It was owned by Henry Philip Hope in 1839 and acquired its name at that point.
Mrs. Patch also had been technical consultant to the Smithsonian's public affairs office on the institution's television special on the Hope Diamond. She had been a docent at the museum's Hall of Gems and Minerals and its Hall of Physical Geology from 1970 to 1975.
She was born in Toledo and graduated from Smith College in Northampton, Mass. While in college, she worked as a salesperson and acting assistant jewelry buyer for Georg Jensen Inc. in New York. She worked as director of an educational diamond exhibit for a group of retail jewelers, then became an instructor of basic gemology and mineralogy at the Washington School of Gemology.
In the early 1950s, she hosted a local television series, "Gem Session," then became an assistant buyer of costume jewelry for Jelleff's stores in Washington.
Mrs. Patch and her husband formed a firm in 1968 that sold gemstone carvings by mail. She returned to school when she was 50 and received a law degree from Antioch School of Law in Washington in 1978.
She was board chairman in 1957 and 1958 of Parent and Child, an organization that promoted natural childbirth, and a trustee of Chevy Chase Elementary School. A Chevy Chase resident, she was co-founder of a Leland Street produce cooperative in 1974, where she continued to work for about 15 years. She was also a member of a committee that recommended an integration plan for six schools in Montgomery County in 1975.
Mrs. Patch was a member of the Maryland State Bar Association, the American Society of Jewelry Historians, the Mineralogical Society in Washington, the Capital Speakers Club of Washington, the Woman's Club of Chevy Chase, the Chevy Chase Recreation Association and the Live Poets Society. She was a member of Christ Church Parish in Kensington.
She enjoyed collecting minerals and objets d'art, and making jewelry, much of which she donated to raise money for the FTC's day-care center. She also enjoyed memorizing and writing poetry and reading mysteries.
Survivors include her husband of 53 years, Robert J. Patch of Chevy Chase; six children, Susan L. Patch of Chevy Chase, Robert W. Patch of Cabin John, Thomas F. Patch of Charlotte, Jeffrey S. Patch of Germantown, Andrew J. Patch of Ellicott City and Theodore N. Patch of Chevy Chase; a sister, Gloria Steinem of New York; and 12 grandchildren.

As part of our Ten Years of Nerve retrospective, we bring you a series of interviews with the people who made, and continue to make, the publication happen. Today, Nerve editor Gwynne Watkins talks to Emma Taylor and Lorelei Sharkey, the former Nerve editors, advice columnists and authors of The Big Bang and Nerve's Guide to Sexual Etiquette.
How did you both end up at Nerve?
Lorelei Sharkey: I was working at a small literary arts magazine in Boston. It was hellish. A few months after Nerve launched, a college friend of mine wrote me and said he was working for the company that was serving the ads for Nerve. And he was like, you have to check it out, it's totally cool, this job was made for you. So I looked at the site, loved it. That night I started putting my letter and resume together, and sent it down. Within a week they had called me.
Emma Taylor: I was working at Tripod.com. I'd been reading Nerve since the day it launched and wanted to work there. One day Gen and Rufus had made an appointment to meet with the CEO of Tripod. The CEO had totally forgotten them and was out of town. I was the head of the editorial department, so the receptionist called me and said can you come talk to these people, please? Which I was totally psyched about. So I had this meeting with Ruf and Genevieve and was telling them why a partnership with Tripod might work for them, but I was telling them about a community space, and how that would be good for Nerve, and kind of dropping into the conversation that I had experience in that. A few days later, Rufus emailed, and was trying to find out if it would be bad form for him to recruit me. Everyone at Tripod knew I was ready to leave and move down to the city, so I interviewed with Nerve with Tripod's blessings.
How was the interview?
Lo: I definitely remember not knowing what to expect. I read everything that they had published up to that point which was possible back then, because it had only been a couple of months. I read that one story "How to Screw a Coot," which has the characters Genevieve and Rufus, and it was unclear how much of it was fiction and how much was nonfiction, if any. I didn't know if they were going to be dressed provocatively, if they were going to conduct the interview with Genevieve on his lap. Or if they were going to ask me questions about my own sexuality. So I came prepared for anything. I was so relieved when they were so charming and sophisticated and cool and laid back and not perverts.
Emma: Like Lorelei, I printed out every single article Nerve had ever published and read them all and got my little stock of anecdotes ready.
I was convinced they were going to ask me stuff, like, you know, "How did you lose your virginity?" or the craziest sex things you've ever done. And I was thinking, I don't really have many stories; I guess I could tell them I just bought a vibrator. And then, of course, we just sat there and drank tea and talked business strategy and editorial content, and it was really sophisticated.
What was the daily vibe in the office?
Emma: My first day at Nerve, Rufus had said people usually show up at around ten or so. I showed up at ten to ten, because I was nervous and wanted to make a good impression. Rufus took a long time to come to the door, and I'm pretty sure he answered in his boxers. It was clear he had been asleep when I rang the doorbell. And he was like, "I'll be right back," and ran and put on some clothes. It was an hour and a half before anybody else showed up to work.
Lo: I came there in December of '97 and Em came a year later. And Jack came soon after me, a month after me I think. When Emma came, it was still really small, just like five to seven people. And it really was the greatest job you could have as a twentysomething in New York City. We worked hard, but we were so psyched to do it. And we had access to all of those industry internet parties that had open bar. At twenty-five, that is a huge deal.
Do you think Nerve was typical of what was going on with the dotcoms at the time, or do you think it was a more unique sort of office?
Em: There were definitely ways that Nerve was similar, but there were so many other young people working for them who were like, "I can't believe I'm in this job, it's so great." I think the difference was that a lot of these other companies seemed to have a lot more money, and that's why I think Nerve parties were so good, because we would just have to be a little more creative to make it so that Nerve parties were the talk of the town.
What Nerve parties do you remember most vividly?
Em: The first one at 520 [Broadway, Nerve's current office] was my first big Nerve party, which was really fun, I thought. That was their first one with the exhibitionist booth, right?
Lo: Yeah, people got totally into that. There was always a huge turnout. It's really easy when you're in New York to feel that you're not in the cool group. No matter where you go, there's always these ridiculously supermodel-beautiful people doing cool things. And it was really great to feel like an insider at those parties.
How did you become Em and Lo?
Em: It started from day one. We were working together launching NerveCenter, sharing a desk, sharing a phone line, kind of on top of each other. Fortunately we got along straightaway.
Lo: I was so nervous when she came: "Oh, please, don't let her be a bitch!"
Em: NerveCenter was such a bonding thing, because it was so many crazy late nights. We would work nights, and then we'd go out to all the internet parties together. NerveCenter's voice was different from Nerve's voice: a little less highbrow, a little more welcoming, fun, relaxed. We started developing this voice. Then, once the Nerve Personals were up, somebody suggested, "Hey, it would be fun to have an advice column to go along with the personals." Before anyone could suggest hiring somebody who had some experience, we offered ourselves up.
Em: We came up with the Em and Lo Down.
Lo: We wanted it to be from women but not sound like your typical uptight women's magazine sex advice. We wanted to be fun and funny and female positive, but all-inclusive, for gays and lesbians and straight people. And have a conscience. Somebody once told us that they liked our advice because we had morals but weren't moralistic.
What were the challenges of being a Nerve editor?
Em: As new editors and interns came into the office, they had to figure out where they crossed the line. Obviously, when you're discussing a new story idea or you're discussing a new trend, you might share a little bit of personal experience, like, "Oh, I know a ton of friends who are into this thing, we should totally write about this." But you could definitely see new editors not realizing that just because we're discussing a story idea on anal sex doesn't mean we want to hear about the anal sex you had with your partner the previous night.
Especially as the years went on and the interns started to be people who had their own blogs about their sex lives or starred in their own porn—the generation below us who were just so much more comfortable with putting themselves out there on the internet and just had completely different notions of public and private material. Some of the interns definitely made me feel like a prude sometimes.
Lo: When I'd meet people outside of Nerve, they would misinterpret how comfortable you were talking about sex. Everything from guys just being really crass to people assuming you're really sexual and had no inhibitions. There was a lot of pressure to perform when you started dating someone.
Em: The craziest job-related thing happened when I was at a bar in the East Village. This guy was chatting away next to me, and kind of hitting on me. He found out I worked at Nerve and was really into that. At one point I went to stand in line for the bathroom. He comes up to me and he said, "I always felt like I was smaller than average. I was wondering if you could give me an evaluation." And he started to unzip his fly right there! I just started to run away, and he was chasing after me, saying, "But you're a professional! You said you do this for a living!" I don't know if that was his pickup line, or if he really did think he was smaller than average, but he thought it was totally acceptable to ask me to check out the size of his dick.
Any interesting interactions with authors?
Lo: I edited J.T. Leroy for awhile, and it was fascinating. I would talk to him on the phone—I don't know what to call it, him, her—and we would go over the stories. We even did a chat where I was on the phone with him and I transcribed for him, because he said he couldn't type. It was funny to watch the phenomenon around him. That was amazing currency in the literary world, to say that J.T. knew you and liked you, even though most people knew something was off and weird.
Em: We talked in an editorial meeting about doing a story on whether J.T. was real or not. We dug around a little bit. This was years before that piece in New York magazine came out. All of us at the office suspected that J.T. wasn't real. I don't know why we didn't follow it through. It never went anywhere.
Lo: A couple years later, after I had stopped working at Nerve, The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things came out. There was an art-gallery opening for it. This is when [Laura Albert] finally realized she had to get someone to be the face of J.T., so the cousin or whatever, the relative, started making public appearances. This was the first time I had an opportunity to see him in person, so I went. There was a long line, and I decided to wait and introduce myself. I was in the acknowledgments of one of his books. So I was like, "Okay, so let's finally meet."
So I got up there and introduced myself: "Hi, it's Lorelei. Remember me? From Nerve?" And she had the big sunglasses on, the cousin or whatever, and there was this moment of no recognition. In an instant, I knew: this is not the person I talked to on the phone. I hate to say it, but part of me was really impressed.
What role did you have in the start of Nerve Personals?
Lo: We came up with the questionnaire.
Em: We started by researching what else was out there, including going on some really early, really bad personals dates. We went out on a couple of Swoon dates to see how the whole system works. We really put ourselves out there for Nerve.
Lo: Wasn't there a point where you had a date on one end of the bar, and I had one on the other end?
Em: Yeah. And I remember being out on the fire escape, writing the questions during our smoke breaks.
Was it your idea to do online personals? At the time, that was not a thing people were really doing.
Em: No, that was Rufus' idea. At the time, I definitely remember thinking, "Oh my God, personals are so cheesy." Rufus said—and it was an amazing vision—"No, Nerve can make personals cool." The concept of personals being cool was so far in the future at that point.
Lo. But it worked. And I think we took the voice of the Nerve office—not necessarily the Nerve literary magazine, but the Nerve office—and applied it to the personals. I think that's why people took to it.
What about the print magazine?
Lo: I feel totally disconnected from the print magazine. NerveCenter was the bastard child that no one took seriously. At that point, the focus was on the print magazine because that was just so much more —
Em: Cool.
Lo:—noble and honorable. And it was funny because NerveCenter and Personals did so well, and the magazine didn't really work out, but so much money went into the print magazine. New people came in, experienced people. The print magazine was the golden child that got special treatment. Like the little princess in Welcome to the Dollhouse. We were the Weiner Dog for a while. And then that, you know, changed.
Em: But there were definitely aspects of NerveCenter that were a bad idea. It wasn't all lucrative from the start.
Em: We would do a weekly chat where we would give out sex advice. We were definitely the wrong people to be doing that. It's like people in a bar thinking that they can talk to you a certain way because you work at a sex magazine, and multiply that by 100,000 because of what people feel comfortable saying in an anonymous online chat. But we did some fun chats. We did one with Justine Frischmann from Elastica. She came to the office, and we were just completely starstruck.
Lo: But then some porn star came in, who sadly confirmed all of our stereotypes about porn stars. We had to do the typing for her, and she just didn't understand all the questions.
What other stories do you remember?
Em: Remember that story with the amazing photographs of that underground strip club in the Bronx?
Lo: We did a chat with the promoter and one of the dancers. It was like two different worlds coming together: these computer-nerd chat organizers and these guys who live in this completely crazy world of male stripping. African-American/Latino male stripping, which is completely different from the more sanitized white-boy gay guys who are pretending to give this, you know, fantasy. So we did the chat, and they invited us to be their special VIP guests at that week's Friday night show up in the Bronx.
Lo: We all got dolled up.
Em: Ridiculously dolled up.
Lo: And we go up there, we get out of the car, and there's this huge line. There's not a single white person in it, and it's all women. And they are hungry for some male stripping. It starts to rain. Because we were special guests we went straight to the head of the line and cut all these people.
Lo: There was a catwalk in the middle of the room, and fold-out chairs all around. We're sitting there waiting for the doors to open, and all the women come in, and everyone makes a mad dash for the front row. So the place fills up, and the manager we did the chat with comes by, he's the emcee for the night, and he said, "We've got some special guests in the house from Nerve magazine," and he points to us and holds up the issue. You could hear crickets in the room. [Laughs]
We just felt terrible. They were hardcore fans, and who are we? We're not paying, we're getting special treatment. It was just bad. So the show starts. We're drinking heavily just to cope. The stuff that we saw that night—I didn't know it was possible for women to act in such a sexually aggressive way. These women were hungry.
Em: It wasn't legal, what we were watching. Full-on sex acts. They put fruit inside this one woman. Didn't he eat the fruit out of her? And it wasn't like a bachelorette party, where there's a fun atmosphere and everyone's laughing. It was totally serious.
Lo: Yeah. And at one point, they start pulling up our Nerve colleague, Jessica, whose judgment was not that great that night, because she was wearing a long skirt with no underwear. She had one foot up on the riser and one foot on the floor and he was pulling with both arms, and she was shaking her head, "No, no!" The emcee finally had to get right in front of him and say, "No, Chocolate, no!"
And he let go, but then two different guys went after Em's sister Hannah and pulled her up on stage. At one point, one of the guys took his dick out and put it in her drink, like a stirrer. The whole entire audience—all of them—were like, "Drink it! Drink it! Drink it!"
Em: Hannah looked at me in utter panic. I looked around at the crowd and said, "I think the alcohol clears everything, you better just drink it!" The first time she went up, people were kind of cheering her on, like, "Go white girl! Go white girl!" The second time, they were definitely not happy that this white girl got pulled up twice. That just wasn't fair.
Lo: It was considered dick hogging.
Em: Later in the evening, Hannah went to the bathroom. She was talking to these girls in the bathroom. They turned to her and said, "Having a good time out there?" Hannah said, "Yeah!" And one of them said, "Dick hogger!" and punched her in the face. I went up there, and I got booed off the stage because I wasn't doing anything interesting.
Lo: That was one of the craziest Nerve experiences for me. Another one was the 60 Minutes shoot. We were doing a funny promotional thing for them to film. We rented a van and got a disco ball and a light. NerveCenter was launching, and we were going to hand out promotional postcards on a populated New York City street corner. Open the van, play the music, hit the light on the disco ball, and run out of the van in our underwear, handing out flyers for NerveCenter.
Em: We hired models to do it. I think we were passing around a flask of whiskey. About halfway through the ride, Rufus decided that he wanted to get in on the action.
Lo: No, I went first.
Em: No, Rufus got naked first.
Lo: I think I went first. I was definitely the first girl on staff.
Em: I thought it was Genevieve. I definitely remember sitting on this bench seat in the van, thinking, "That's Rufus' butt cheek I can feel against my side!" It was definitely a weird night out with the office.
Lo: Fortunately, I came prepared. I wore boxers and a long scarf so I could hide my boobies.
Em: I remember we stopped outside Katz's Deli. I was standing there in my shoes and underwear and no bra. All those guys who work at Katz's were banging on the window, shouting, "Turn around! Turn around!" I don't think I've been to Katz's since.
Did you have any interesting reactions from your families about working at Nerve?
Em: I didn't really, totally fill my parents in on exactly what Nerve did. I think I told them, "It's kind of like Cosmopolitan, but for men and women." That's as far as I went until The Big Bang came out. Once The Big Bang got a rave review in Time magazine, it was a little easier for them to accept it: "Well, if Time is writing about it, it can't be that bad."
Lo: My parents were always very supportive. I didn't hide anything from them. But I didn't give them all the details.
What did you take away from your time at Nerve?
Lo: The love of my life [her husband, former Nerve creative director Joey Cavella]. And my best friend and business partner.
Em: And I met my husband through Nerve, too, on Nerve Personals, which seems really fair after the many, many, many horrible blind dates I went on with Nerve Personals, to prove I wasn't just the creator, I was also a user. I probably went on fifty horrible, horrible blind dates before I met him.
Lo: And Emma was going to give up on them. She wasn't going to tell anyone publicly because that would be bad for the company, but you were about to give up on them. You'd just write all of our advice to the contrary.
Em: There's no way we would be doing what we're doing now, if it weren't for Nerve. It would never have occurred to me to write about sex; we never would have been able to build an audience. I think it just taught both of us to expect a little more out of your professional life, and that it's possible to make a living with something you totally love.
Anything else?
Em: Oh yeah, one more story. One of the signs for me that Nerve was growing and becoming more mature, like a proper company, was that we used to have a spanking thing. If it was somebody's birthday, everybody in the office had to stand facing in one direction with their legs spread, and the person whose birthday it was had to crawl through their legs and get spanked. Everyone hated it and loved it at the same time, but it was really funny. I remember one female intern, it was her birthday, and I remember her confiding in us, like, "I really don't feel comfortable going through with the spanking thing," and we all thought, "Uh, yeah, I guess we should probably stop doing this thing now."

The Warden then addressed them as follows : - Chief Gormleyp-AsXJhief, I shall require df yon tb give me a written lisifc each Monday i morning ofthe officers that t^11"W dut|r durulg |he^wee]^ bothllay and&ightj the#ho^rs |ar ,gc^ ing cjSi iarfi off and the t|xaep they; takeffor t^ir^ineal|, sofhat Ilinay 1|qow the ixact timd thafjeach officer iph^ul^ be performing his auty) and I shall; also require you, as Chief, to see that each and every officer reports to you any and every violation of law that comes to his notice, and for you to report the same to me, and for any viola-lation of this or for any neglect of duty whatsoever on the part of any of the officer?!, I shall consider it a sufficient cause for your and their suspension from duty. For any instructions or orders that you may wish for, you are to come to me to get, and to no one else except in my absence, when you are to go to tlffe Senior burgess.; Mr. Bowe. So much to you,;-as: 'Cluef Now to you and the otjieriofficers: I wquld say : In the matter|x>f maMng; arrests it is im-possible |^lay,dqwnj a positive or direct rule! tp follo\v. sin |au cases your own goodij ju|fginent| shojttld tell you what tc| d<| aid |roi| shot|d not, and you mt^; |otJba|e e$S frjjndsto favor or enemies to. punish, but equal and exact justice to all. The public look to you to protect their property and their lives, and any neglect on your part to do this, will call down upon you the condemnation of every good citizen, and will subject me to censure unless I suspend you from duty, and as to any officer being under the influence of liquor while on duty or off, the law is very plain in that regard, and the only course for me to take is to immediately suspend any officer for this offence. Any officer wishing to absent himself from duty at any time, must get permission from the Chief who will report to me, or, in my absence, to the senior burgess, Mr. Bowe. You have these in" struction now, and if you perform all your duties faithfully and well, you will receive my commendation, otherwise it> becomes my duty as Warden, to suspend you from duty, which I now give you fair notice I shall do. The good and peaceful name of this borough has suffered very much during the past few years from acts of lawlessness, drunkenness and the very loose way that many things have been allowed to run here, so much so that we are not only a subject of ridicule with ourselves but from the press our condition is shown to all the world, which state of affairs is certainly not pleasant for any oitizen, and the police force in a great measure is - directly responsible for these things, and I now say it must be correoted, in some way. When the Warden's address to the police was finished business was resumed, and Burgess Bowe stated that he had secured a place in the rear of Dr. Baldwin's where the 30 or 40 loads of crushed stone remaining at the quarry [could be placed for future use, and he was authorized to hire, 'the; necessary I teams to draw it down. The highway •committee was empowered to build a retaining wall and erect a wire fence, on j Riverside avenuei.: COn motion of Bur- ' gess' Buxton the cledrk was notified ' to send out notices to thejproperty owners on East and Belden avenues requiring' them to curb and gutter in front of. their premises within 30 days. On mo- ;tion of Burgess Bowe the chairman of ;the sewer committee was authorized to advertise for bids for contracting the Cross street sewer according to the plaijl and specifications prepared byj Engineer Wood. It was also voted that' the style of pipe now in ipse in the bor-iojij& fSeta^age ;be adopted, k ; The question of a driver for the new supply: wagoii was brought ttpjljyiwSur- .gess Burr, and it w,as voted, that the jchief engineer be empowered to ap-point a driver subject to the approval 'of the court. Burgess Kent, to whom the matter of lighting the houses of the fire department with eleotric light, reported that he had secured an estimate from Supt.- Avery for ten lights in each house, thirty in all, at the rate of $15 a month, which was the same average as gas with which the houses were now lighted. The question was finally left to the chairman to bring up at the next meeting. A communication was read from Chas. S. Lockwood requesting that he jbe given the curb line in front of his East avenue property which was referred to Engineer Wood. On motion of Burgess Buxton it was voted to request the owners of No.. 8, South Union avenue to construct a sidewalk in front. ~ On motion of Burgess Kent the court proceeded to the election of a patrolman in the place of E; M.' Blake who had refused to serve. The first ballot which was informal resulted as follows: H. E. l)auchey 3, R. M. Morehouse 2, B. W. Maples 1. The formal ballot stood Dauchey 3, Morehouse 3, and the Warden voted for Morehouse..^ f-4,«I"'F ; The election of R. M. Morehouse to a patrolman made a vacancy in the office of special, which resulted as follows: J. S. Murray 3, Wallace Dann 3. The formal ballot stood the same and Warden Keeler cast his vote for Wak lace Dann. On motion of Burgess Buxton the court adjourned to Monday evening, July 20th. yi ,N r; rv Clark's Folly. ] Mr. and • Mrs. George Clark gave their fifth annual dinner at '' Clark's Folly," Prospect Hill, yesterday afternoon.

William Wanted to Embrace the Bride, but the Kaiserin's Frown Said Don't. , , The Emperor Reviews the Mili-tary Students at Eton College. London, July 7.—The event of the day wa3 the marriage of a granddaughter of Queen Victoria, the Princess Victoria Louise of Schleswig-Holstein, to Prince Aribert of Anhult-Dessau. The marriage is a lucky one for Aribert, who is a portionless younger son of the ruler of a cheap principality and is about twenty-seven years of age. He is six years older than his bride, who is one of the brat looking of the queen's descendants. , v , Royal intermarriages with cheap German princelings are not popular just now with any class of English people from the top down, and this affair has failed t« evoke much enthusiasm or congratulation anywhere outside of the royal family and the kaiser's household, the young princess being, on her father's side, a near relative of the kaiserin. If Aribert expects to get a snug allowance out of parliament, or any allowance at all, he will probably be disappointed, judging from the cool way in which the press treats the event and the common talk of people in London. Aribert, however, who has had a connection with the household troops of the queen for some time, will, it is supposed, have no trouble in obtaining an income from his grandmother. The ceremony took place in Bt. George's chapel, Windsor, and the queen, the kaiser, the Prince of Wales, the kaiserin and a host of royal celebrities were present. The Princess of Wales rivaled the German empress in amiable- congratulations to the married couple, and the kaiser showed a disposition to embrace the bride, but was •frowned out of the idea by the kaiserin. . THE KAISER AT ETON. He Reviews the Military Students and Gives Them Some Advice. London, July 7.—Emperor William of of (Jermany Monday left Windsor castle on horseback, accompanied by the Duke of Conn aught and a brilliant staff, with the intention of visiting Eton, England's most popular college school. The emperor reached Eton's parade ground, and there found a well equipped, bright looking body of collegians, about 3150 in number, drawn up in line for his inspection. As soon as the emperor arrived near the head of the line the young Eton volunteers presented arms in soldierly fashion. The emperor smiled with approval. As the lads brought their rifles to the "present" the Eton School band struck up the national anthem, and the crowds in the neighborhood cheered heartily. After the playing of the'anthem the young amateur soldiers were put through the manual of arms and other exercises. The boys then marched past the emperor, who sat on horseback surrounded by staff officers. The lads' marching was worthy of high praise, and evidently greatly pleased the emperor. After the march past the Eton volunteers again formed in line, and, at a preconcerted signal, gave three ringing cheers for the emperor, in which greeting they were joined by everybody present, among whom Were a crowd of Eton alumni. The emperor was evidently much pleased with this part of the day's programme. When the cheering had subsided the emperor rode to the front of the line, and bowing to the young volunteers praised the manner in which they had gone through their drill, which, he said, was performed very creditably.; The emperor added: "I am very pleased with what I have seen of you. If you are ever called upon to draw your swords in earnest I hope you will do so in a good cause and that you will show the pluck and spirit Which have always distinguished British soldiers•;:" A?w?- :3^«!;- !—; .- —r—-^ess! ; isi A-Big Steamer Reported Sunk, v; I- ; ~ London, July 7.—A large steamer went down off Dover.

At 5:01 the reporters and others who had held a weary vigil for over 24 hours thought they heard the whirr of the electrical machinery. A few minutes the noise was plainly heard by £fll and it was an assured fact that the lives of the murderers were being taken.

Windows 7 - MySQL ODBC System DSN creation
Hello and thank you for reading my post.
My software creates MySQL ODBC System DSNs...
... except it doesn't work with Windows 7.
It used to work with the previous Windows OSes including XP, Vista.
I've been struggling the whole day trying to find a solution.
*** I believe UAC (User Account Control) has something to do with this.
But I can't disable it as my customers have it usually enabled.
How can my application be allowed to create MySQL ODBC System DSNs and as a "normal" user?
*** The MySQL ODBC connector I have installed is:
and I have installed it logged as "Administrator".
(I also installed my application logged as "Administrator").
*** The MySQL server is on localhost for now... (that is to say on the same host as the application).
*** I've already updated the "Target" in the "Shortcut" tab in "Data Sources (ODBC) Properties" to "%windir%\syswow64\odbcad32.exe"
so that the "Drivers" tab is properly populated, including "MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver".
*** Logged as "Administrator" (which shouldn't be of course: this account is disabled by default, I enabled it for testing reasons), MySQL ODBC DSNs are created but they are empty:
- only the "Data Source Name" field is not;
- the "TCP/IP Server", "User", "Password" and "Database" fields are empty.
*** In my application it results in the message: "No database selected".
*** If I'm logged as a "normal" user, MySQL ODBC System DSNs are not created at all
(or maybe they are but they do not appear in the "System DSN" tab).
I read something like: the application should be "elevated" but I don't know if it would solve the problem nor how to do it. Apparently UAC prevents applications from creating ODBC System DSNs... ! There has to be a way around!
Actually a solution is proposed on this website: http://kb.avecto.com/articles/how-to...dsn%E2%80%99s/
but I do not wish to buy this product especially if there exists a solution without it.
I really don't know what to do now...
can you help me?
Thank you and best regards.

Most likely yes, UAC is the cause of the problem. Changing system DSNs naturally requires administrator privileges and therefore CANNOT be done by normal users, UAC or not (UAC makes this worse by converting admins to normal users under the covers). But it's the normal, expected behavior, as regular applications aren't supposed to messing with global DSNs, and only elevated ones are allowed. Respecting that is the whole point of the admin/regular user distinction. You app seems to be abusing its administrative rights on pre-UAC systems.
First, as a side note, I think using DSNs is a bad programming practice, as it ties the database access to something not entirely manageable by the app itself. I would store the server/database/user/password somewhere else, where you know, and build a connection string from it at runtime and use that to connect, therefore forgetting the problems of DSNs. Such refactoring may be easy or complicated, depending how is the program made, but in the long run I think it's the best solution.
If you want to continue use DSNs, then at some point you must elevate the app to allow such change. I guess that the DSN is changed from a configuration screen somewhere where the user chooses the database, then the whole program simply uses that.
The idea is to create a second executable program and manifest it as "require administrator" and make that program make the changes, after UAC prompt. The main one can call that second passing the data to be used in the DSN.
While it looks complicated, it's the normal way an application elevates for certain operations only in Win Vista+, without executing the whole program as administrator everytime.

Actually, the problem is not UAC.
I re-installed a MySQL server and a MyODBC driver which are "compatible" with each other.
Even with UAC enabled, I can now use my application normally with successful accesses to the databases through the MyODBC connector.
This is an interesting article:
"The 32-bit version of the ODBC Administrator tool and the 64-bit version of the ODBC Administrator tool display both the 32-bit user DSNs and the 64-bit user DSNs in a 64-bit version of the Windows operating system":
Best regards.

Uganda's record on the Council's work regarding country
situations was poor. Uganda routinely rejected or abstained on a broad range
of country-specific initiatives, calling into question its commitment to the Council's
2012/2013 Analysis
Uganda did not support any but one country resolution put to the vote under agenda items 2 and 4 during this period. Uganda voted against the resolutions on accountability in Sri Lanka and abstained on the resolutions on Belarus and Iran. Breaking with many countries in its region, and placing it in a small minority within the Council, Uganda also abstained on all the Syria resolutions, with the exception of a single resolution it supported in September 2013. Uganda did not join any joint statements relating to country situations during this period(Eritrea, Bahrain, referral of the situation in Syria to the ICC, and the general statement on country situations).
Despite opposing country-specific action in much of the world, Uganda voted in favor of all the resolutions focusing on the human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories, exposing the double standards of its approach.
More positively,Uganda introduced an amendment to the March 2012 Libya resolution expressing concern about the situation of migrants in the country. Uganda voted in favor of this amendment, as well as the two additional amendments made by Russia that would have improved the text of the resolution. This one exception, however, calls into question why Uganda was unwilling to adopt an approach showing the same degree of concern for victims in other situations.
Uganda co-sponsored a total of 36 country
resolutions, although it rarely intervened in the country-specific debates of
the Council.Uganda should reconsider its approach to country situations and
consider supporting the Council's action on Syria, Belarus, Iran and Sri Lanka.

It is estimated that as many as 700,000 Marylanders -- 12.7 percent of the state's population -- have no health insurance. To address this issue, lawmakers composed the "Wal-Mart bill" which would force the giant retailer to increase its spending on health care coverage for its Maryland employees, says Thomas A. Firey, senior fellow at The Maryland Public Policy Institute.
According to reports:
- Some 80 percent of those employees are eligible for health benefits, but only about 52 percent of those eligible choose to enroll in company-sponsored insurance (for which they pay part of the premium).
- Wal-Mart officials say the firm currently spends between 5 percent and 7 percent of its Maryland payroll on health coverage; the legislation would force the retailer to raise that to 8 percent or else pay the difference to the state.
- Back-of-the envelope calculations suggest the Wal-Mart bill would extend coverage to 1,000 to 3,000 people, thereby lowering the state's un-insurance rate by, at best, about 0.05 percent.
- To achieve that gain, Wal-Mart will have to up its health insurance spending by $2 million to $5 million a year; the retailer can free up the necessary money by cutting employee hours and skimping on raises, bonuses and other perks.
Despite the attention it has received, the Wal-Mart bill does little to expand health insurance coverage in Maryland, says Firey. Maryland legislators should instead address the state's questionable (and expensive) insurance mandates which result in high health insurance costs and reluctance by Maryland employers and individuals to purchase coverage.

Honey of a prize for Queensland apiarist
A Queensland-grown honey has won first prize in the prestigious World Honey Competition in Ireland.
Beekeepers Laurie and Paula Dewar from Kalbar, south-west of Brisbane, won the prize for their ironbark honey at the Apimondia Biennial Bee Congress in Dublin.
Mr Dewar says with 101 countries at the conference competition was fierce.
"I entered on a whim, knowing we produce a good drop of honey here in Australia, we entered three entries and our ironbark honey won the prestigious light honey award," he said.
