DELWIN, TEXAS. Delwin, in southwestern Cottle County, was named in the early 1900s for Delwin Drummond, the son of founders Tom and Ora Drummond. The Drummond ranch occupied a large part of the region. A school was established in the late 1890s. Delwin had a post office from 1916 until sometime after 1930. Its school was consolidated with that of Paducah in 1963. A cotton gin operated for many years, until it was destroyed by fire in the 1950s. The population was eighty-three in 1940 and seventy in 1980 and 1990. In 2000 the population was twelve.

Jan. 22, 2013
MADISON, Wis. - Head volleyball coach Kelly Sheffield has announced today that Jessica Yanz, a former All-American setter at the University of Dayton, has joined his University of Wisconsin staff as the director of operations. Yanz, who spent two seasons in the same position at Dayton, will oversee team travel, the sport budget, coordinate community service and organize summer camps.
"I couldn't be happier to be able to bring Jess here to Wisconsin with me," says Sheffield. "First of all, she and I work well together. She's someone who takes charge and gets things done, and she does it with a wonderful positive personality. I've been able to throw a lot of things at Jess and have confidence that it's going to be done and done well.
"Secondly, she has played in the Big Ten and she's played for me, so she has a great understanding of what this conference is like while also understanding what I'm like and what my expectations are. Because of that, she's going to be able to help convey that message to the players here and help them off the court."
Yanz was an All-American setter at Dayton.
Yanz earned American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) honorable mention All-America honors in 2010. She was named the Atlantic 10 Conference Setter of the Year and the A-10 Championship's Most Outstanding Player. As a graduate student, Yanz guided the Flyers to an undefeated conference regular season, an A-10 tournament title and a trip to the second round of the NCAA tournament. As the Flyers' setter, UD set a program record for team hitting percentage while leading the A-10 in hitting percentage, kills and assists. She earned her master's degree in education with a concentration in interdisciplinary studies from Dayton in 2012. "I am so excited to be joining the Wisconsin volleyball program," says Yanz. "When coach Sheffield presented me this opportunity, I knew it was something I couldn't pass up. This program will become a national powerhouse under his direction and I'm thrilled to be alongside for the journey. I am looking forward to working with tremendous student-athletes and some of the best fans in college volleyball."
The Bolingbrook, Ill., native transferred to Dayton after graduating with a degree in business administration from the University of Nebraska in 2010, where she played one season. Yanz began her college career at Penn State in 2006 and was a member of the 2007 NCAA Championship team.
As a prep, Yanz was named the 2006 Illinois Gatorade Player of the Year at Naperville Central High School. She was also a Volleyball Magazine Fab 50 selection and was named the Best Setter at the 2004 and 2006 National Junior Classic, leading Sports Performance Volleyball Club to the 2006 national title.

A guitar and cello play soothing music in the background. The camera pans over farm fields while a voice talks about the living planet beneath our feet. Then the bucolic scene shifts to overcrowded cities, farmers in poverty.
No need to despair, the marketing video reassures us. Monsanto's innovative approach to agriculture is leading us to a sustainable future, where harvests are more plentiful on less land, with less water and energy.
The only problem with this scenario is that it is becoming increasingly tattered. The most recent shredding comes from Bob Kremer, a microbiologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service. A Reuters news release reports the result of a 15-year-study of Monsanto's Roundup.
The longitudinal study shows repeated applications of glyphosate (the primary ingredient in Roundup) "could be causing fungal root disease." Though Kremer emphasizes more research is needed to tie the chemical directly to fungal diseases, the risk is only one of many already documented. Others include the spread of Roundup-resistant superweeds, risks of health problems in people and livestock, increased use of pesticides and failure to deliver on the promise of higher yields.
With mounting evidence that Monsanto's Roundup Ready crops carry unacceptable risks, the last paragraph in the Reuters announcement is chilling: "Neither the USDA nor the Environmental Protection Agency, which is reviewing the registration of glyphosate for its safety and effectiveness, have shown interest in further exploring this area of research, Kremer said Friday."
The biotech-industry fox is in the agricultural hen house. For a very different perspective from the bucolic marketing video, watch The World According to Monsanto. The full version can be viewed online.

Hope this word gets out
No to Monsanto! No to GMO!
Thanks for the article
EPA and USDA need to get out of the faces of our local farmers who sell good produce in the local markets, including at the nearby farmer's market.
They need to get all over corporations like Monsanto, and prevent them continuing the lies that they are doing good things for everyone.
Whatever happened to "Truth in Advertising"? Whole truth, not bent truths.
Monsanto has a virtual monopoly on roundup ready seeds. It's outrageous and they should be prosecuted!
Funding for these organizations, (EPA and USDA), are being cut dramatically over and over again. Use your voice with your vote. Large corporate chemical companies, PAC, and special interest groups, plus the GOP (Grease Our Pockets), are counting on your silence.
Thanks for the article.
I'd say BOYCOTT, but with Monsanto buying up farmers all over the globe, I don't think that
my not buying roundup or their GMOs (if I actually had a right to know where they were) is
going to make much of a difference. Clearly, our "government" doesn't give a damn, they
want the EPA and other stewards to vanish. :(
Namaste everyone. How about worrying about what all of the things that they are doing is affecting all of us? How about governments starting to think about all of humanity, FOR WE ARE ALL ONE FAMILY, instead of lining their own pockets with our hard-earned money. Remember Jesus's parable about the rich man, heaven, a camel and the eye of a needle? There was a reason for it wasn't there?
If only humanity as a whole would stop acting so selfishly. Let us begin to think about how are actions will affect those who come after us once and for all.

I got this as a gift for someone who enjoys wine and is from the Napa area. It's decent quality and the stitching down the center is nice- but the price still is a bit high (in my opinion).

I might buy it. If my disposable muli bottle bags don't last very long. May be helpful for sorting different food types, too.

Couple from Conejo Valley celebrate release of their movie, The Lake Effect
'The Lake Effect,' an indie movie, out on DVD
Tara Miele and Brett Juskalian are celebrating the recent release on DVD of their first independent feature film, "The Lake Effect," hoping audiences worldwide will embrace their indie film.
"Good movies aren't always big movies. These kinds of movies can only be made if people buy them and watch them and rent them," said Miele, 34, who wrote and directed the comedy-drama that her husband, Juskalian, shot in 15 days.
"I would love to do it again," Juskalian, 35, said of making the independent feature film. "There is a different level of collaboration on smaller films. You don't have too many cooks in the kitchen. There's a lot more collaboration available. There is an honest simplicity in it that I like."
Miele and Juskalian, who grew up in the Conejo Valley but met after graduating from different high schools (she graduated from Thousand Oaks High and he's a Newbury Park High alum), are freelance filmmakers now living in Los Angeles. They married in 2005 and have worked together and separately on a range of film, commercial and video projects.
They enjoy the flexibility of being able to work on projects they choose and that are personal to them while raising their 2-year-old daughter, Luna, who was born the day after production on "The Lake Effect" wrapped in July 2009.
The Lake Effect was released on DVD Oct. 18 and is available from Amazon.com, Walmart.com and can be added to a Netflix DVD queue.
The film stars Kay Panabaker from "Fame" and ABC's "No Ordinary Family," Ross Partridge from the Duplass Brothers' film "Baghead" and Tara Summers from television's "Boston Legal." It screened to sold-out audiences at festivals nationwide and won awards including Best Screenplay, Best Ensemble Acting and the Audience Award from festivals including the Phoenix Film Festival and Moondance International. The Raindance Film Festival in London named Miele, "a Top Ten American Indie Filmmaker to Watch."
"The Lake Effect" is about a couple who retreat to their cottage on Lake Michigan to reconnect. Natalie's biological clock is ticking and she wants a child, but her older husband, Rob, is resistant. Their holiday is interrupted when Rob's estranged 18-year-old daughter, Celia, shows up and is nine months pregnant. A doctor orders Celia not to travel until the birth so Rob has to take care of her. He must embrace his role as a husband and father before he becomes a grandfather too, and also deal with the arrival of Celia's boyfriend.
"The Lake Effect" is the first full-length film that Miele and Juskalian worked on together. Juskalian was director of photography.
"I don't think I couldn't have done it without Brett because I was pregnant and away from home. It was a very familial environment," Miele said, explaining that the couple and the actors lived together on the set for several weeks during shooting; Miele was there for more than 3 months. The movie was mostly shot at producer Jennifer Westin's family home on Lake Michigan.
Miele said the idea for "The Lake Effect" came to her in the middle of the night several years ago when she was thinking about having children.
"It wasn't until I was three months pregnant, unemployed and having panic attacks at the thought of bringing a child into the world that I connected with Rob. His insecurity, his frustration with his lack of success mirrored my own . Just as Rob is struggling to get his business off in a rough economy, I have struggled to get projects moving in a tough industry," she said.
"A lot of people will think that I was crazy to direct a film while 7½ months pregnant. The truth is that making this film got me through my pregnancy. Shooting the film became a grand catharsis . I'll admit that it was surreal to shoot the birth scene, to have such a tiny baby on set, to see an actress performing what I was destined to live out in just a few weeks ... And I'll admit that I was pushing it when we did a pick up shoot when I was 37 weeks pregnant."
Miele and Juskalian are seeking European distribution for "The Lake Effect" and have a sales agent in the United States and one in Britain who is marketing it in the United Kingdom. The film hasn't played yet in any major United States theaters. "It's a pretty tough market," Miele said. The couple's U.S. agent is working to get the film on cable stations and "on-demand" viewing, Miele said.
The couple funded the film with private donations and financed it as a nonprofit independent film. The budget was under $1 million. "We really did it as an art project through the Kalamazoo Arts Council," Miele said. "We had lots of talented people helping us out."
Both Miele and Juskalian became interested in the dramatics arts while growing up in the Conejo Valley. While in junior high and high school, Miele acted in several community theater shows with the Young Artists Ensemble. "It was extremely influential for me," Miele said.
Miele graduated from Thousand Oaks High in 1995 and attended the UC Santa Barbara, earning a bachelor's degree in dramatic arts. She made two short films that were well received at film festivals before moving on to work on other projects and "The Lake Effect." A television movie that Miele wrote is moving forward with the Disney Channel, she said.
Juskalian graduated from Newbury Park High in 1994 and has a bachelor's degree in film production from the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television. Juskalian said his mother was an amateur photographer when he was a child and he would take pictures with her old Canon camera, which sparked his interest in the art. While in high school, he took a photograph class at Moorpark College and later learned to shoot video.
Juskalian's television work includes a documentary series for Discovery, Bravo U.K., the SyFy Channel, A&E and the History Channel. Juskalian has also shot many award-winning shorts and feature films, most recently "The Gauntlet, "featuring international star Bai Ling. He has shot performances and music videos for several bands including Pearl Jam and wrapped another indie feature in August called "The Party is Over." He also shot the title sequence photography for a new feature film called Young Adults, written by Diablo Cody and scheduled for release later this year. Additionally, both Miele and Juskalian are working on web and commercial projects and another indie feature.

College for the Home-Schooled Is Shaping Leaders for the Right
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK
Published: March 8, 2004
PURCELLVILLE, Va. — As one of 12 siblings taught at home by their parents in St. Croix Falls, Wis., Abram Olmstead knew he would fit right in at Patrick Henry College, the first college primarily for evangelical Christian home-schoolers. But what really sold him was the school's pipeline into conservative politics.
Of the nearly 100 interns working in the White House this semester, 7 are from the roughly 240 students enrolled in the four-year-old Patrick Henry College, in Purcellville. An eighth intern works for the president's re-election campaign. A former Patrick Henry intern now works on the paid staff of the president's top political adviser, Karl Rove. Over the last four years, 22 conservative members of Congress have employed one or more Patrick Henry interns in their offices or on their campaigns, according to the school's records.
"I would definitely like to be active in the government of our country and stuff," Mr. Olmstead, 19, said as he sat in a Christian coffeehouse near the campus, looking up from a copy of Plato's "Republic." "I would love to be able to be a foreign ambassador, and I would really like to move into the Senate later in my career."
The college's knack for political job placement testifies to the increasing influence that Christian home-schooling families are building within the conservative movement. Only about half a million families around the country home-school their children and only about two-thirds identify themselves as evangelical Christians, home-schooling advocates say. But they have passionate political views, a close-knit grass-roots network and the financial support of a handful of wealthy patrons. For all those reasons, home-schoolers have captured the attention of a wide swath of conservative politicians, many of whom are eager to hire Patrick Henry students.
When President Bush signed legislation last fall banning the procedure it calls partial-birth abortion, Michael Farris, the founder of the Home School Legal Defense Association and the president of Patrick Henry, was one of just five prominent Christian conservatives invited to the Oval Office for the occasion.
Patrick Henry College is the centerpiece of an effort to extend the home-schooling movement's influence beyond education to a broad range of conservative Christian issues like opposition to abortion, same-sex marriage and obscenity in the media. The legal defense association, located on the Patrick Henry campus, established the college as a forward base camp in the culture war, with the stated goal of training home-schooled Christian men and women "who will lead our nation and shape our culture with timeless biblical values."
"We are not home-schooling our kids just so they can read," Mr. Farris said. "The most common thing I hear is parents telling me they want their kids to be on the Supreme Court. And if we put enough kids in the farm system, some may get to the major leagues."
That is an alarming prospect to some on the left.
"Mike Farris is trying to train young people to get on a very right-wing political agenda," said Nancy Keenan, the education policy director at People for the American Way, a liberal advocacy group, and a former Montana state superintendent of public education. The number of Patrick Henry interns in the White House "scares me to death," she said. "It tells us a little bit more about the White House than it does about the kids."
Mingling in the corridors of the White House and Congress is also a long way from the sense of retreat at the heart of the Christian home-schooling movement. It began in the early 1980's as a few thousand evangelical Christians began teaching their children at home in disgust at what they considered the increasingly secular, relativistic and irreligious culture ascendant around them — exemplified by the ban on prayer, the teaching of evolution and the promotion of contraception in the public schools.
The Home School Legal Defense Association, which now counts 81,000 families each paying about $100 a year in dues, was founded in 1983 by Mr. Farris, a lawyer who had been a protégé of Tim LaHaye, the conservative Christian political organizer and best-selling author. Mr. Farris and his wife home-schooled their own 10 children. Like Mr. LaHaye, Mr. Farris is a novelist. He has written three legal thrillers involving conservative Christian issues. His latest, "Forbid Them Not," begins with a Democratic landslide in the 2004 elections that leads to a nightmare of laws blocking parents from spanking their children, teaching their children fundamental Christianity or schooling them at home.
Membership in the home-school association grew by more than 50 percent a year for most of its first decade, association officials said. From the outset, the association fought state regulations requiring home-schooling parents to have college or high school diplomas, to pass certification tests, or to submit to visits by professional educators or social workers. It won a long series of legislative and court victories culminating in a 1993 decision by the Michigan Supreme Court, which eliminated the final major obstacle to home schooling in any of the 50 states.

With no Ride It! event taking place last weekend some of the Ride It! team headed off to Thetford Forest to compete in the Dusk Til Dawn 12 hour race.
After a bit of a disorganised start, what with me thinking Thetford Forest was just a few miles off the M25, us all missing the rider briefing and Keith lining up for the start at the back of the pack with all the soloists, it wasn't looking too promising for a decent result. Then me falling off on my first lap, brusing my ribs and thinking I might not be able to continue and the weather taking a definite turn for the worst it was starting to look even less likely we'd finish.
The turning point happend when we decided to check the results and see how everyone else was doing. To our surprise we were running in 4th place so with competitive Jon getting a sniff of a podium finish we all pulled ourselves together and settled in for a night of getting cold, wet and muddy and trying to make up at least one place to get on the podium.
As the course got more and more muddy and as we all wore through our disk pads lap times dropped from under the hour for the first couple to around the 1h20-1h30 mark to complete the 10 mile lap. I think we all felt we were going slow but judging by the amount of people walking round rather than riding I think everyone was finding it tough going. You really had to be there to believe the mud in some parts of the course.
Thanks to spare disk pads, mud tyres, pizza and Gore waterproof shorts we eventually managed to complete 10 laps and moved up into 2nd place by the end of the race (30 minutes or so behind the winners, Salsa Factory Racing). Hats off to Huw who joined us on the team, despite riding his 1990′s Specialized Stumpjumper with v brakes, a borrowed light and the sole hanging off his shoe, he still managed to put in competitive lap times.
As well as a rather fancy trophy we also won some Torq goodies and a new USE Exposure Flare rear light each. Thanks to the guys at USE not only for the prizes but also for keeping our lights charged all through the event.

Re: Legal Opinion; Request for Opinion; CSC-LSP;
Public Health Workers; Hazard, Subsistence,
and Laundry Benefits
Director Hilda G. Diokno, Human Resource Management Office (HRDO), this Commission, through HRDO Memorandum No. 208 s. 2001 dated August 9, 2001, requests the Commission to issue a policy resolution on the issue of whether public health workers may be granted hazard allowance, subsistence allowance and laundry allowance during the period they are on local scholarship grant.
Under Civil Service Commission Memorandum Circular No. 26, s. 1996 (REVISED GUIDELINES AND OPERATING PROCEDURES ON THE LOCAL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM) an LSP grantee is entitled to the payment of his salary and other benefits and allowances from the agency where he/she is employed during the period of his/her scholarship.
It should be noted that LSP grantees attending scholarship grants are considered in the regular performance of their duties and responsibilities. It is for this reason that they are entitled not only to the salaries and allowances corresponding to their position but also to other benefits.[1]
However, such allowances and other benefits may be given to him/her subject to the availability of funds and the usual accounting and auditing rules and regulations.[2]
Relevantly, the Commission held in the case of CABALFIN-VALIENTE, Luz, CSC Resolution No. 00-0944 dated May 06, 1999, as follows:
"With regard to the other benefits, i.e., Hazard Allowance, Subsistence Allowance, Laundry Allowance, and Remote Assignment Allowance, the Commission also rules that Cabalfin-Valiente is entitled to receive the same, these being in the nature of allowances which are also part of her compensation package. This is, of course, subject to the qualification that she meets the required qualifications provided in Sections 21, 22, 24, and 25 of R. A. No. 7305 (The Magna Carta of Public Health Workers) and other pertinent rules implementing the receipt of these specific benefits.
"WHEREFORE, the Commission hereby resolves to rule that Luz A. Cabalfin-Valiente is entitled to receive during the period of six (6) months of her extended service . . . the following Magna Carta Benefits:
"1. Hazard Allowance;
"2. Subsistence Allowance;
"3. Laundry Allowance; and
"However, receipt or entitlement thereto is subject to the implementing rules regarding said benefits." (Underlining ours)
Based on the foregoing, it is safe to conclude that the entitlement of LSP grantees to the payment of allowances and other benefits during the period of scholarship is not absolute since they are subject to two conditions: 1) availability of funds and 2) the usual accounting and auditing rules and regulations and/or other pertinent rules implementing the receipt of these specific benefits.
As a rule, public health workers are entitled, among others, to the following allowances: hazard, subsistence and laundry allowances.[3]
Hazard allowance is given to public health workers in hospitals, sanitaria, rural health units, main health centers, health infirmaries, barangay health stations, clinics and other health-related establishments located in difficult areas, strife-torn or embattled areas, distressed or isolated stations, prison camps, mental hospitals, radiation-exposed clinics, laboratories or disease-infected areas or in areas declared under state of calamity or emergency for the duration thereof which expose them to great danger, contagion, radiation, volcanic activity/eruption, occupational risks or perils to life as determined by the Secretary of Health or the Head of the unit with the approval of the Secretary of Health.[4]
However, public health workers who are on full time attendance in training grant/scholarship grant/seminar or any other activity for more than one (1) full calendar month shall not be entitled to the hazard allowance except when the place of activity is certified to be risky or hazardous area.[5]
On the other hand, subsistence allowance is given when public health workers are required to render service within the premises of hospitals, sanitaria, health infirmaries, main health centers, rural health units and barangay health stations, or clinics, and other health-related establishments in order to make their services available at any and all times, they shall be entitled to full subsistence allowance of three (3) meals which may be computed in accordance with prevailing circumstances as determined by the Secretary of Health in consultation with the Management-Health Workers' Consultative Councils.[6]
All public health workers covered under RA 7305 are eligible to receive full subsistence allowance as long as they render actual duty.[7] Moreover, they are entitled to subsistence allowance based on the number of meals/days included in the duration when they rendered actual work including their regular duties, overtime work or on-call duty as defined in the Implementing Rules Regulations of Republic Act No. 7305.
Thus, a public worker must perform actual duty or overtime work or on-call duty in order to be entitled to this allowance. Since an LSP grantee does not render any work during the period of scholarship, then he/she is not entitled to this benefit.
Lastly, public health workers shall only be entitled to a laundry allowance when they are required to wear uniforms regularly.[8] They are entitled to the said allowance if they are required by their agency to report for work in their uniform everyday. Since an LSP grantee does not report for work in the agency where he/she belongs during the duration of the scholarship grant, neither is he/she required to wear office uniform, then he/she is not entitled to the laundry allowance.
It is also worth mentioning that the rules aforementioned are also contained in the following provisions of Volume I (Government Auditing Rules and Regulations) of Commission on Audit Circular No. 91-368 [9] which provide:
"Sec. 293. Subsistence allowance defined.- Subsistence allowance shall mean an allowance for meal or sustenance for an official or employee who, by the nature of his duties and responsibilities, has to make his services available in his place of work even during mealtime.
"Sec. 294. Officials or employees entitled to subsistence allowance. – No official or employee of the National Government shall be given subsistence, the cost of which is payable from any public fund, except the following and only when an appropriation therefore is specifically provided:
" x x x
"c. Officials and employees of hospitals sanitaria, penal institutions, leper institutions, military installations, and other similar institutions who are required to render service and live within the premises of the said institutions for a continuous period that includes meal time, to make their services available at any and all times;
" x x x
"Sec. 296. Provisions in the granting of subsistence allowance. – The granting of subsistence allowance is governed by the following general provisions:
" x x x
"e. In all cases, officials and employees . . . attending training course/scholarship grant . . . shall not be entitled to subsistence allowance for the duration of their attendance in a training course/scholarship grant/seminar . . .
" x x x
"Sec. 309. Entitlement to laundry allowance. – The following are entitled to the laundry allowance:
"a. Hospital/sanitaria personnel who attend directly to patients and who by nature of their duties are required to wear uniforms;
" x x x
"Sec. 311. Employees entitled to hardship/hazard allowance. – Employees, whether regular or contractual, assigned on a permanent, temporary, special or travel basis to the following areas, which expose them to great damage or contagion or peril to life, are entitled to hardship/hazard allowance:
"a. hardship or difficult areas
"b. strife-torn or embattled areas
"c. distressed or isolated stations
"d. prison camps
"e. mental hospitals
"f. radiation-exposed clinics or laboratories
"g. disease-infested areas
"h. areas declared under state of calamity or emergency."
To summarize, as a rule LSP grantees during the period of scholarship are entitled not only to their salaries and allowances corresponding to their positions but also to other benefits. However, their entitlement to allowances and other benefits is subject to the availability of funds and the usual auditing and accounting rules and regulations and/or other pertinent rules implementing the receipt of these specific benefits.
In this regard, public health workers under scholarship grant are not entitled to receive any hazard, subsistence or laundry allowance from their agency. The Magna Carta of Public Health Workers (Republic Act No. 7305) and its implementing rules specifically provide conditions for the availment of the said benefits, which the LSP grantees will not be able to fulfill.
WHEREFORE, the Commission hereby rules that public health workers under Local Scholarship Program are not entitled to hazard, laundry and subsistence allowance since they cannot comply with the provisions of the Magna Carta of Public Health Workers (Republic Act No. 7305) and its implementing rules and Volume I of Commission on Audit Circular No. 91-368 (GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTNG AND AUDITING MANUAL).

DescriptionFrom assessing the scene, you note that Ar'tor is being held in place by energy beams emanating from the crystals hovering around the rune. Try as you might, Ar'tor is unmovable.
You note that the crystals have an empty slot at their base - perhaps for a key. It also seems as if succubi periodically perform some sort of ritual at the site.
Search Illidari Point for their leader. Perhaps she holds the key to releasing Ar'tor.
Ar'tor hovers lifelessly before you.
You slide the crystalline key into the slots at the base of each of the demonic crystals.

Share your thoughts.
What do you think of today's comics page?
22 Responses
I cannot believe you replaced Hagar the Horrible with Lio. First, you replaced B.C. with a terrible comic and now Hagar. I am considering cancelling my subscription to the Times Union. There are numerous comic strips in your paper that are not funny or humorous in any way. For example, no one follows Mark Trail. Hagar is a comic many of us younger readers grew up reading and eagerly look forward to when opening our daily paper.
It may be a small move in the overall scheme of a printed newspaper, but with the way your readership has declined in recent years, I can completely understand why people want to get their news from online sources– Local printed newspapers, namely the Times Union, do not care about the interest of their readers.
What happened to Edison Lee? It was a great addition to the TU.
I agree with comment # 1 I can't believe you have dropped Haggar the Horrible . Next to Peanuts, in my opinion, it was,[I hope is ] the best comic strip you run. I am very disappointed. I hope you reconsider
this decision
Hi, I have been following Hagar the horrible for years after a friend at work told me about Hagar, my wife and I have been laughing sometimes histerically at him and his family and friends. I was so disapointed when I saw he was gone and so was my wife. I won't be negative but I don't really care for Lio who you replaced him with. Your long time readers of HAGAR THE HORRIBLE, HAL & MARY ANNE BRONK
I wish you had gotten rid of Garfield – I know there are plenty of funny strips out there which would be a welcome addition.
TU, What happen to Hager the Horrible.First it was a scale down on the stock market section.So are the comics next?I bet the price we pay for our paper won't be cut back!!!
What is wrong with you people? Bring Hagar back!!!! Lio is just plain stupid.
PLEASE DON'T TOUCH my favorite Mark Trail Strip – I don't read many of your comics (about half I don't read) – maybe it's a generational thing – but for us Animal Lovers, Mark Trail is a great favorite!
Please don't touch my favorite MARK TRAIL Strip – there are many comics I don't read – maybe it's a generational thing – but for us Animal Lovers, Mark Trail is a great favorite! Some of the others – not so favorite….
Removing "Hagar" is a horrible decision.
Does anyone read "For Better or Worse?" "Knight Life?" "Pearls Before Swine?"
I do not like the new comics Lio or Knight Life – nothing funny about them and they don't make sense. Maintaining is not that great either.
Knight Life? Maybe. There are possibilities there.
Lio? Appropriate that it replaced Hagar because it is horrible!
The reason given for replacing Hagar was sexism.
The Knight Life is just as sexist.
Lio is just nasty.
Add another vote for Mark Trail!
ETep: I agree with two of your comments, but to me, FBFW is in my top three or top five.
I also do not like Lio or Knight Life.
I really miss Hagar, B.C. and Edison Lee.
I cant believe that you keep Lio, Pearls before Swine and Knight Life (these three are absolutely horrendous!)
Replace Lio, Pearls, and Knight with Hagar, B.C. and Edison!!
I find Lio and Knight Life are taking a little getting used to BUT I'm starting to see the light! Pearls Before Swine is a riot particularly the stupid Crocs. That has been a wonderful addition to your comics section. Mark Trail must go. The story lines are the same year in year out. The clothing is the same year in and year out. Same for the hair styles too. The Trail camp never learns to tell Kelly the witch to take a hike. Please find a replacement for this very tired strip that has precious little to offer. Get Fuzzy and Over the Hedge are not enjoyable either. Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
Some of these folks need to get a grip. Would people really cancel a newspaper subscription over a comic strip?
Others need to learn how to spell "Hagar."
Mark Trail–jever notice how the birds and beasts (even the trees) are lovingly drawn, seeming almost alive; while the people all look like they were carved out of wood, such that you can all but hear them squeak as they move?
I have to say that i have lost my faith in whoever the person or persons who are responsible for choosing which comic strips make it into the Times Union. I have purchased the TU almost religiously for 18 yrs after I started delivering it as a 12 yr old. I have cut back in the last few months due to rising costs in other areas of my life, but the two things I looked forward to were the comic section and the Thursday edition with the auto insert. Well, I no longer see the auto insert on a regular basis, and you folks have butchered the comic section.
You have dropped 3 good strips, for 3 strips that I am having a hard time finding humor in. I have been reading comic strips since I was at least 10 yrs old, starting w/ Calvin $ Hobbes (I even bought the books), and now at 30 yrs old, I am ready to give up on your paper. I know it seems silly to stop purchasing a paper due to one section, but that is an important section to me, and it seems like the writers/artists of these fairly lame strips are paying your 'comic committee" off. You either need to bring back some of the good strips (Hagar, Edison, B.C.) or I'm done w/ this particular paper.
Please get rid of "Maintaining." It's not funny; it makes no sense. I try to read it, but I can't make it past the second panel. "Knight Life" is okay. It takes some getting used to. Stop playing with "Non Sequitur." It's a very funny comic that makes you think. "Lio" is okay. "Beetle Bailey" is tired. "Peanuts" could go and nobody would miss it. "Over the Hedge" is one of the best comics. Why don't you replace "Ziggy" AND "Family Circus" with ANY other one-panel comic as both are boring. It's always nice to have tradition like "Blondie," "Hi and Lois" and "Mark Trail." I've been reading them for years and have always liked them.
I love the funny pages, but not all of the items. I find "Maintaining" to be just plain boring.
Just not interested In all the stuff about mixed race. This country is really a melting pot of people of all kinds and people mix. That's life here. Hopefully something will come along to replace this strip.
Please find a more challenging cryptogram. This one uses the same words and phrases day after day.
What happened to "Close to Home"? That was one of my favorite comics and now it's gone.

#5 in a series (Exhibit D)
I, H. KEITH HENSON, declare:
1. The facts set forth in this declaration are known to me personally. If called to testify as to the truthfulness of the facts set forth in this declaration, I would do so.
2. I have had a remarkably difficult time over several months getting the full record of the trial proceedings in case HEM014371 admitted to the appeal record.
3. This includes an amicus brief by Arnoldo Lerma, a declaration by Frank Oliver and attached exhibits.
4. I have had particular difficulty in obtaining the court reporter's transcript outside of the actual trial itself. I have been told by the court reporter, Amada Fagan, these were "sealed" by Judge Wallerstein in what I believe is a violation of the rules of the court.
5. I left a message asking for a return phone call on Amanda Fagan's voice mail on January 17, 2002. I have not received a return call to this point in time.
6. I believe the transcript, especially the hearings on motions in limine, are critical to the appeal and to hearings before the Canadian Immigration and Refugee board. (The motions in limine essentially prevented presenting a defense.)
7. Further, I believe the transcript for early on April 19, 2001 is in conflict with the judge's minute order for that day. (Declaration of James Harr.)
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of Ontario, Canada that the foregoing is true and correct.

The Finn was designed in 1949 to be the 'monotype' dinghy at the 1952 Olympic
Games. It has remained an Olympic cass ever since and is now the longest standing
of any Olympic dinghy class. It currently fills the slot for the Heavyweight
The Finn is the most physically and mentally demanding singlehander in the
world. It breeds exceptional, all-round sailors by testing all aspects
of racing. IFA The cult of the International Finn Monotype may seem strange
some people, but to us devotees, there is nothing else remotely like it.
The Finn offers the most purely athletic form of yacht racing and is, therefore,
the most fundamentally competitive. The Finn offers the rewarding opportunity
of doing a difficult thing well. There will always be those who aspire
be the master of a Finn.
Mainsheet System
The 3:1 mainsheet system is tensioned via the swivel base in the cockpit
and bends the mast. When the bend exceeds the sail's luff curve, the
mast inverts and flattens the sail. Less bend increases the sail's
draft. The Finn class does not restrict pumping in heavy winds, and
the deadend on the boom allows a powerful 1:1 downwind.
Partially raising the centerboard downwind reduces drag and lessens the
side load. The double-ended 2:1 system also allows racers to quickly clear
the centerboard of seaweed and debris.
Strap Adjustment
Sailors can fine-tune the angle of the hiking straps out on the water for
different sized waves, wind speeds, and body types. Strap tension can be
adjusted to suit a range of sailor heights. Shockcords pull the straps
inboard and out of the way when not in use.

NEW YORK—Like everyone else on the playoff bubble, the Sabres are doing their fair share of watching the out-of-town scoreboard these days. More importantly, Buffalo is lighting up the in-town scoreboard.
With two goals from Drew Stafford on Friday night at Madison Square Garden, the Sabres won their third straight game, 4-1, over the Eastern Conference-leading New York Rangers. With a 12-2-3 record over the past 17 games, Buffalo still has not moved into playoff position, as the Washington Capitals hold the eighth-place tiebreaker with more non-shootout wins, but the Sabres are looking awfully similar to the team that finished last season with 16 wins in 24 games to make the playoffs.
"Obviously, we're not done yet," Stafford said. "We need to take care of our end of things, and we're not worried about the other teams around us. We know that if we play well, take care of our own business, win the games and get the two points, we'll be sitting just fine. Right now, we haven't accomplished anything. We're able to get ourselves in a position, but we're still gonna keep going."
That is as much as the Sabres can ask for, considering that after a shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Feb. 17, Buffalo was dead last in the Eastern Conference and nine points out of the final playoff spot. At that time, according to Sports Club Stats, the Sabres had a 0.29% chance of making the playoffs.
Now, the Sabres have not only gotten themselves into a tie for eighth place, they have closed the seventh-place Ottawa Senators' advantage to two points with seven games left.
"If we can get one more team involved, it's one extra spot up for grabs," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "It just creates some pressure, and if we end up two back of Ottawa after tonight's game, it gives us a shot at bringing them in the fold. You can't ask for anything more."
Friday night, the Sabres could not have asked for more from the line of Stafford, Tyler Ennis and Marcus Foligno, who combined for eight points in a game that saw 23-goal scorer Thomas Vanek go without a shot on goal and All-Star Jason Pominville held largely in check. Stafford snapped a 1-1 tie on a 2-on-1 with 6:17 left in the second period, but the biggest goal belonged to Ennis, on another odd-man rush with six minutes left in the third—almost immediately after an apparent tying goal by Brandon Dubinsky was correctly waved off for a hand pass by Ryan Callahan.
The goal was Ennis' sixth this month, exactly half of his season total. That matches the 22-year-old's total from last March, when the Sabres were making that oh-so-similar desperate push for a playoff berth.
"It just reinforces how bad we want to make the playoffs," Ennis said. "The Rangers are the top team in the East, they've played great hockey all year and it's a tough place to play. We came out and played pretty sound in all areas. It's a huge win for us."
In their quest to make the playoffs, the Sabres have a favorable road ahead, with a return home on Saturday night to face the lowly Minnesota Wild, followed by a pivotal game in Washington on Tuesday. Buffalo does then have a tough test against the Pittsburgh Penguins, but a home-and-home with the Maple Leafs evens that out and then some, before the Sabres close the season against teams in Philadelphia and Boston who may already know their playoff seeding by then.
While their bubble rivals also have soft spots on their remaining schedules, the Sabres have to like the fact that they are the hot team with the hot goalie at the right time of year. Ryan Miller made 26 saves on Friday to raise his season save percentage to .917—one point higher than it was last season, and quite a recovery from the .899 figure he sported at the All-Star break. Since then, Miller has stopped 93.6% of the shots he has faced, leading Buffalo back into the playoff race.
"It's kind of just one big hockey game at this point," Miller said. "You just have to get all you can out of it. It's going to come down to the last two or three games of hockey anyway, so we just have to keep pace and know that you have to win. There's going to be no relaxing at any point, because if you reach your goal, you're in the playoffs and you're playing a good team."
For the Sabres, that might potentially mean the Rangers, the team that they beat for the first time in four tries on Friday night.
"It's nice to break through and show we can beat this team, show that we can skate and do what we need to do to win a game," Miller said. "But we're getting ahead of ourselves, so we'll talk in a few weeks."

Anatomy of a Service
Friday, 15 January 2010
Learning RoadMap with jEmbedded 0.2
I have added new examples and refactored the existing ones using the new features of the 0.2 version.
In order to learn how to use the framework here it's the roadmap you could follow:
- Start learning the hello world service example, it's easy to follow and it's explained in the wiki. You can learn how to create your custom annotations, etc...
- Then you can learn how to create other services using composition with the included services: jetty example, calculator service, even
odd example etc...
- Once you are comfortable creating services, composing etc you can learn how to organize the services in layers with the layers example.
- When you know how to create a layer you can learn how to use the container in a web environment (using the previous layer example).
- Then you can have a look at the ESB case study that comprises all the previous stuff, services, layers, web environment etc...
I will continue improving the documentation and adding examples, and please feel free to ask everything you need.
Keep in mind that you can create and annotate your services and elements in many ways, I've tried to show this in the examples. There is no just one right way, you can create your custom annotations or not, you can inject fields or methods etc.. depends on the particular case.
Take care

Uruguay's Campo: Self-Made and Grammy-Nominated
A chat with the Latin fusion band with an all-star roster.
If you haven't heard Montevideo's Campo yet, you will very, very soon.
The Grammy-nominated crew from Uruguay includes an Academy Award winning composer, a superstar star sound engineer with a roster like The White Stripes and The Shins, and Billboard charting members of the band Bajofondo, the group behind the electro-tango single "Los Tangueros." Yes, with only their self-titled debut album out, Campo is already destined for stardom. They even won this week's MTV Iggy Artist of the Week, the highest honor in all of human existence!
We spoke to lead man Juan Campodónico about the new album, Montevideo, the multi-cultural foursome that is Campo, and where their delicious blend of cumbia and hip-hop comes from.
(Interview translated from Spanish)
To be honest, we try to find bands from everywhere, but we haven't really been able to find much from Uruguay.
There are a lot of bands and musicians in Uruguay — maybe they haven't gotten a lot of international attention because Uruguay is a tiny city with few inhabitants (3.5 million), and it's very south of the continent, between Brazil and Argentina — huge countries. Sometimes we are a little isolated, like an island. The language can be another reason why we're not known in the anglo world. In Campo, our solution has been to sing half in English and half in Spanish. There have always been huge musicians and poets in Uruguay, but Uruguay is a well-kept secret.
What makes Montevideo special for you? What makes it your home?
I have lived in many different countries and cities — 8 years in Mexico city, in Buenos Aires. For 10 years I haven't stopped moving around the world, producing records and playing with Bajofondo (my other band). Montevideo is a beautiful city with a very European style. It's a small city, but with a lot of cultural movement, and a lot of personality. At the same time it's a very chill city. The people walk slow, in ten minutes you arrive wherever you're going….This place has given me a musical vision. In what place can you get a mix of tango, Brit-pop, cumbia and hiphop? In Montevideo. You get into a taxi and the taxi driver can be listening to Michael Jackson or a tango by Carlos Gardel or a cumbia villera. All of these elements are in the music of Campo….
What music did you listen to growing up?
I started buying records in the 80s. I listened to everything new wave, disco, funk synth-pop, rock, but in my house we were listening to bossa nova, tango, and folk. When I started to make music at the end of the 90s I saw myself highly influenced by hip-hop and techno, but I wanted to apply these ideas to something from the local sound; something that had identity, that would say who we were and where we came from. My music is a mix of new ideas and trends with roots from South American music — more precisely from the Río de la Plata.
We are living in an age of fusion, for sure. Do you find that non-Latin audiences are more open to your music now than they may have been, say, 5 years ago? Of course you charted with "Los Tangueros," but it seemed like hybrid music was treated differently back then, maybe more like a one-time gimmick.
Yes, people are more open to listen to new things from different parts of the world and integrate culture. I've seen this process happening in Europe for many years, and in the US now. Campo is a great example of this sensibility. At once it sounds original and rooted, and it wants to communicate with the rest of the world. It's international music but made from Uruguay — which is still something exotic.
A few years ago when I was in the US and said I was from Uruguay, people didn't even know what continent it was on. Today, they know some little things — that we play soccer well (we've won two World Cups), that we have the most humble president in the world Pepe Mujica (who donates almost all of his salary, and lives modestly on a farm)….
…The world continues globalizing — you ask for dinner and not know whether to choose Thai or sushi or feijoada. This same thing is happening with music.
Cumbia has been the foundation of so much fusion music lately. What was once just a folk genre is now something cool. What is it about that beat that makes it so good for pop?
Cumbia is a beautiful rhythm. It's a music that has indigenous, African and European components. It's played in all of America — from Argentina to the US. It has mutated and been nurtured by everyone who comes across it. For many years in Uruguay and Argentina, cumbia was associated with marginality. The style that we call cumbia villera" is much more aggressive and rude than Colombian cumbia. It's a return to the music of the poor neighborhood of Montevideo and Buenos Aires, which is also like favela funk in Brazil or hip-hop in the US, when they rose in the ghettos. But like hip-hop, cumbia villera has a beauty that transcends its social standing.
"La Marcha Tropical" has a mixed foundation of cumbia and hip-hop, and one day with Ellen Arkbro — who is a young Swedish singer who doesn't speak Spanish –started to improvise with cumbia phrases that Vero Loza came up with. In the recording sessions she learned her parts phonetically…Ellen's voice comes from a school closer to Nordic jazz. It was perfect between the fat hip-hop-based beats and congas and cowbells…It makes you appreciate both sounds from a new perspective.
Watch "La Marcha Tropical"
How did you hook up with the Academy Award-winning sound engineers?
I have worked for a few years with Gustavo Santaolalla in Bajofondo, which is well known in the world for 'electro-tango.' Gustavo is one of the most important composers and musicians in Latin America and for awhile a respected musician in Hollywood. He made the soundtracks to Brokeback Mountain, Babel, and recently, On the Road. He helped me produced the Campo album and brought it to Joe Chicarelli, an engineer and producer who has worked with The Strokes, The Shins and The White Stripes. Also on the team is Anibel Kerpel….The ability to have recorded the album in Los Angeles with these talents has resulted in a very special, unique, and personal sound. The best place in the world to record is Los Angeles. There we recorded in an old studio called Sunset Sound, where the Doors recorded, for example. Also, Campo involves my bandmates of Bajofondo as instrumental support on the album.
What do you hope to achieve with the new album?
Being pretentious — I'd like to make a mark on the history of South American music. We also just got word that we were nominated at the Grammys (yes, the American one) in the category of Best Latin Rock, Alternative, Urban album. It's really shocking to be nominated for such a prestigious award for our first album. It hasn't even been out a year, and it's an independent album!
What's next for CAMPO?
In February we're going to the Grammys and we intend to win! If you're reading this and you're a Grammy voter, listen to Campo and give us a chance! Later in March we're going to SXSW in Austin, which is an ideal festival for Campo.

Sunset Song
|Lewis Grassic Gibbon
|A Scots Quair trilogy
|Jarrolds Publishing
Publication date
|Media type
|Print (Hardback & Paperback)
|Followed by
|Cloud Howe
Sunset Song is a 1932 novel by the Scottish writer Lewis Grassic Gibbon. It is widely regarded as one of the most important Scottish novels of the 20th century. It is the first part of a trilogy A Scots Quair, and was made into a television series in 1971 by BBC Scotland.
Plot introduction[edit]
The central character is a young woman, Chris Guthrie, growing up in a farming family in the fictional Estate of Kinraddie in The Mearns in the north east of Scotland at the start of the 20th century. Life is hard, and her family is dysfunctional.
Plot summary[edit]
Chris Guthrie's mother, broken by repeated childbirths and learning she is again pregnant, kills her baby twins and herself. Two younger children go to live with their aunt and uncle in Aberdeen, leaving Chris, her older brother Will, and her father to run the farm on their own. Will and his father have a stormy relationship; and Will emigrates to Argentina with his young bride, Mollie Douglas. Chris is left to do all the work around the house. Soon after this, her father suffers a stroke, leaving him bedridden. For a time, he tries to persuade her to commit incest with him; but, as he is badly hurt, he is not able to force her. He dies shortly afterwards. At his funeral, Chris realises what happened to her father and breaks down in tears as she never knew the hardship he has endured for them.
Chris, who has had some education, considers leaving for a job as a teacher in the towns, but realises she loves the land and cannot leave it. Instead, she marries a young farmer called Ewan Tavendale and carries on farming. For a time, they are happily married, and they have a son, whom they also call Ewan. However, when World War I breaks out, Ewan Sr. and many other young men join up. When he comes home on leave, he treats Chris badly, evidently brutalised by his experiences in the army. Ewan dies in the war; and Chris subsequently hears from Chae Strachan, who is home on leave, that Ewan was shot as a deserter but that he died thinking of her. She begins a relationship with the new minister, and she watches as he dedicates the War Memorial at the Standing Stones above her home. The Sun sets to the Flowers of the Forest, bringing an end to their way of life, forever.
Map of Kinraddie with the main characters[edit]
Major themes[edit]
The novel touches on several issues, including the nature of Scottish national identity, the role of women, and the "peasant crisis" i.e. the coming of modernisation to traditional farming communities. The theme of the onset of modernisation and the end of old ways is explored using many symbols, for example, violent deaths of horses (supposed to represent old, traditional farming methods) and the appearance of motorised cars representing new technologies which brush the people of the land from the road. The author also has some political opinions reflected in the characters of Chae Strachan, the Socialist, and Long Rob, the pacifist, and he shows how they react to the coming of the war. The dilemma Chris faces over whether to continue her education or commit to a life in the land is also featured. The title of the novel is a direct reference to the theme of the sunset of the old ways and traditions. By some readings Chris is "Chris Caledonia", an allegorical figure for Scotland itself.
Literary significance and criticism[edit]
When it was first published, some readers were shocked by its realistic treatment of sex and childbirth, and its sometimes negative portrayals of family life. Some wondered if it had been written by a woman using a male pseudonym.
The novel is written in an essentially artificial form of Scots intended to capture the colloquial speech of The Mearns peasants without being inaccessible to English speakers.
Film, TV and theatrical adaptations[edit]
In 1971 BBC Scotland made an adaptation of the book for television. The series was the first colour drama made by BBC Scotland and also contained the first nude scene. The series made the important change from the book of turning Chris into the narrator; Chris was played by Vivien Heilbron. It was shown in the U.S.A. on Masterpiece Theatre in 1975-76. The composer Thomas Wilson was commissioned to write the theme music, which the BBC retained for the remaining two parts of the trilogy, commissioning Wilson again to compose the incidental music for the remaining productions of Cloud Howe and Grey Granite.
There are also a number of adaptations for the stage, of which the best known is by Alastair Cording.
Jack Webster, the Scottish writer and journalist, wrote a play based on the novel and Lewis Grassic Gibbon's life which toured Scotland in 2008. The novel was also the inspiration for the Richard Thompson song "Poor Ditching Boy" on his 1972 album Henry the Human Fly.[1]
Soon after directing The House of Mirth in 2000, English filmmaker Terence Davies and producer Bob Last planned their own adaptation of the book but had difficulty securing financing. Production finally began in 2014.[2] Fortissimo Films acquired the international rights for the film, and they are expected to distribute it in 2015.[2] The film stars Agyness Deyn and Peter Mullan.

It's a no brainer?
There are various phrases that wind me up and one of them, which I have had the dubious pleasure of hearing a number of times in the past week, is the phrase "it's a no brainer".
One client, who had his various pension plans reviewed some years ago by another financial adviser was recommended to amalgamate all of these into one plan and invest everything into a commercial property fund. You can imagine how much this has fallen in value since the point the advice was given. When I asked what had been discussed at the time, the adviser had said that to move the money and invest it in this way would be a "no brainer".
Then there was a client who was recommended to invest his entire pension into ARM and you can imagine the current situation there – what were they told by their adviser? Yes, you got it: "it's a no brainer".
Then I get a call recently from an investment firm, trying to get me to agree to a meeting to discuss an investment product they think will change the world. While I don't share their positivity and can feel my heckles rising, I try to hear them out but then they say the fateful words "it's a no brainer". (Gee blog continues below)
Enough. At no point have I come across an investment that is a "no brainer". If that were the case we wouldn't need all the qualifications and knowledge that we do, in order to provide a great service and responsible advice. So the next time someone tells me something is a no brainer, I will respond accordingly.

Good points Philippa and I whole heartedly agree.
The issue, unfortunately, is that clients are easily (miss!) 'sold' on the aforementioned 'no brainers' and the rest of the IFA community are subsequently tarred with the same brush when it goes wrong....
As I often say when I get asked about such schemes or opportunities, if it was as easy as that I'd be retired by now!
The only "no brainer" I know had to be done last week. Purchase a load of 2nd class postage stamps at 36 pence each and today they are worth 50 pence - a return of 38.88%!
I agree with Phillippa. Another thing that gets on me is 'ball park figure' and the use of text talk like 'LOL' etc.
"No brainer" is also on my list along with
"added value" which usually means that the adviser has his hand in my pocket.

Oh I don't know, 'lots of love' has been around for ages, lol. I wonder which one applies to the FSA? Are they lovable or laughable? You decide..... lol
