NEW VIDEO – Beware of Darkness "Howl"
Perhaps you've heard this very retro sounding, analog style recording of a song on 103GBF lately that features some cool fuzz-box guitar riffs. Most likely you hear the song "Howl" by the L.A. based trio Beware Of Darkness. This band started out as a duo a la Black Keys, Local H and Cold Stares. Adding a bass player to the Beware Of Darkness lineup helped keep vocalist/guitarist Kyle Nicolaides from having to find someone to fill in on bass during each live gig. Their song "Howl" is at #10 on the coming week's Loudwire Top 20. Check out the official video for the song below. We feel like it's the surprise hit of the summer thus far. What do you think?

Mitsubishi HC3800 Projector Review
Mitsubishi HC3800 Projector: Pros
- Very good "out of the box" picture quality
- Extremely good color accuracy post calibration in "best" mode Rich, saturated and natural looking color
- Very good black levels for a projector in its price range, without a dynamic iris, and better than any lower cost projectors reviewed to date
- Extremely sharp image
- Bright: With almost 1000 lumens in "best" mode, this is as bright as you will find for a best mode, anywhere near its price
- Projector lamp can be changed without unmounting the projector (door is on the top, though well hidden)
- Very low cost of operation thanks to low cost ($299) long life lamp 3000/5000 hours, and a longer warranty than most similarly priced projectors (two years)
- Full support for an anamorphic lens, including "mode 2″ with no need for an expensive motorized sled for the lens
- Interpolates 24 fps content to 48 fps
- 12 volt screen trigger
- An excellent price/performance value – it's going to be hard to beat
Mitsubishi HC3800 Projector: Cons
- Black levels, while respectable, are not a match for many more expensive projectors some of which are far better in this regard (the "ultra-high contrast) projectors
- Noisier than the average home theater projector, though about average among DLP home projectors
- The remote control is otherwise "respectable" but it's backlight is very dim
- It is more expensive than several other "entry level" projectors
- Although 24 fps is converted to 48 fps, other projectors offer up to 120 fps
- Would like to see a better method of saving settings and modes
- No lens shift, making rear shelf mounting (up high) impractical
Mitsubishi HC3800 Projector: Typical Capabilities
- About average brightness in "brightest" mode
- Menu layout
- Styling – it's black and slightly sculpted, but "nothing to write home about"
- Audible noise (fan noise for a DLP projector)
This Mitsubishi projector should make for a very good choice for the typical family room or bonus room. And, it's small enough to drag outside for those summer movie nights. Thanks, however, to the great picture, and lots of lumens, and surprisingly good black levels for it's price point, the Mitsubishi HC3800 should prove to be an excellent choice for the money, for most people. That should be true, whether multi-purpose room, or dedicated theater, and whether for a movie fanatic or someone who's just as into sports and HDTV as movies.
It's a great first projector for the money, for someone who just knows he's going to be hooked on home theater. Yet, makes just as much sense for the person who isn't an enthusiast, but wants a nice bright projector with a great picture, for a reasonable (and low) price. The last couple of years, Mitsubishi's entry level 1080p projectors have been 3LCD. While they had their strengths, this Mitsubishi would seem to be the most outstanding entry level 1080p projector (and least expensive) yet, from the folks at Mitsubishi!

Your articles on the Halesowen College dispute over the sacking of a maths lecturer and union rep (Jan 10) shows differences over the question of classroom support.
The principal says: "it is vital that action plans are put in place with additional support and resources". The lecturer involved says: "the maths department has had its problems because of understaffing and the college not employing specialist teachers as cover".
So the question would seem to be: was proper support made available to the maths department? Who will decide this matter?
The article says three other lecturers face disciplinary proceedings although replacement lecturers have already been employed. This reminds me of my own case at a nearby college when, after more than 24 years, I was sacked without any reference to the disciplinary or capability agreements which bore the principal's signature, and which I had been involved, as union rep, in negotiating.
The climate in schools and colleges has changed significantly since I started teaching in the mid-1970s. In the end, this change of climate drove me out. I know many teachers who are disillusioned not so much with teaching as with the teaching environment. Is it this which lies behind the situation at Halesowen College?
The present teaching environment, like a lot else in the country, is a product of the reforms brought in in the 1980s. The Education Reform Act, 1988, brought in league tables, funding linked to pupil numbers, etc. These have created an environment in which exam results have become the equivalent of sales figures for a private business.
And yet, looking at British society and economy today, after three decades of these reforms, how many people can say they have been successful?

A DAIRY worker has been fined after rubbish he paid someone to remove was dumped near Bridg-water.
Martin Durrant, 48, was fined £120 and ordered to pay £95 costs and a £20 victim surcharge after paying a man £30 to remove waste which was later found fly-tipped at Rooks Castle near Goathurst.
At Taunton Magistrates' Courts today (July 7), Durrant, of High Street, Wellington, admitted not taking reasonable measures to ensure the transfer of household waste to an authorised person.
A Somerset Waste Partnership spokesman said: "Between the fly-tippers and the court, Durrant is £265 worse off; yet the waste could have been taken to a recycling centre for free.
"Everyone has a duty of care to ensure their waste is properly taken by licensed traders to a place that can legally receive the materials.
"Simple steps by Somerset residents can cut off the supply of material being fly-tipped and avoid them ending up on a duty-of-care charge in court.
"Never pay cash for waste removal; get a receipt with full contact details, and note the registration number and description of vehicles and people taking away your waste.
"Ask any trader taking waste – from builders to man-and-van operators – for their waste carrier licence and where the refuse will go."
The prosecution was brought as part of renewed efforts to drive down fly-tipping.
Solicitor Nigel Osborne, representing Sedgemoor District Council, said: "Fly-tipping is a serious offence.
"Its blight is not only visual but can often have serious health and safety implications, and the costs of dealing with it are substantial."
Durrant told the court: "I am sorry it happened. I paid a bloke £30 to take my rubbish away."

By Rebecca Rose
Killeen Daily Herald
A local business is being recognized by a national organization for its efforts to help the hungry in Killeen.
Move For Hunger, a nonprofit organization that works with relocation companies to provide food to local food banks, selected Scobey Moving & Storage of Killeen with its Mover Of The Month award for January. The award is given to the mover that "goes above and beyond to provide substantial support to their local community," according to a news release from the organization.
Adam Lowy, founder and executive director of Move for Hunger, said oftentimes people who are moving toss out unwanted items rather than pack them. "Unfortunately, a lot of that is food that could be delivered to a family in need rather than thrown away," he said.
Pam Jeffrey, vice president and general manager at Scobey Moving & Storage in Killeen, said the company was prompted to join as soon as they learned of the program and was one of the first companies to participate in Texas.
"As movers, we always see people getting rid of things. We tell our customers about the program when they are moving," she said. "A lot of times they are getting rid of things anyway. This is just one more thing we can do for them."
Jeffrey said any non-perishable food items their customers don't want to move with, Scobey will take to the Killeen Food Care Center.
"I think it's an important service because it provides to people in our community," she said.
Lowy said Scobey donated more than 1,000 pounds of food in less than a year of participating with the national organization. The business delivered enough food to provide more than 820 meals in the Killeen area.
"Scobey Moving & Storage exemplifies the Move For Hunger program," said Lowy. "It's a great relationship they've formed with their local food bank."
Move for Hunger was "proud" of what Scobey had accomplished since joining the cause in January 2011. "They are truly making a difference in their community simply by using their resources and expertise to lend a hand to those in need," said Lowy.
While New Jersey-based Move For Hunger operates a national program, all of the food donated by customers in Killeen goes to the local food pantry.
And other businesses in Texas also are being recognized for their work with the nonprofit. FireFighting's Finest Moving & Delivery of Fort Worth was recognized as Move For Hunger's Mover of the Year in 2011.
With 25 participating businesses, Texas has one of the largest numbers of movers compared to other states. Three moving companies within a 50-mile radius of Killeen currently partner with the national group.
Since Move for Hunger's inception in 2009, more than 240 movers in 39 states have partnered with the organization, which has collected more than 400,000 pounds of food, so far.
Contact Rebecca Rose at firstname.lastname@example.com or (254) 501-7548. Follow her on Twitter at KDHBusinessNews.
How to help
Moving companies interested in learning more about partnering with the nonprofit should go to www.MoveForHunger.org. Residents who are planning a move can use the website's partner locator to find participating companies and learn more about the area food banks they support.

A Wonderful Antique Japanese Tea Pot
There are so many reasons why I think this is a fabulous Japanese Tea Pot. First of all, it has a great shape and size. Secondly, it has a wonderful hand painted floral design in rust, black, and cobalt blue and soft green which looks great against the beige/grey background. Last of all, the handle with it's rich brown patina and woven and braided details adds to the charm of this great piece. The condition is very good, but the wrapped handle is a little loose on the ends. Measures: 6 1/2" H x 6" W to spout x 5" D (11" to top of handle)

The new FFIEC Guidance takes note that business transactions, because of their frequency and dollar value, are inherently more risky than consumer transactions.Ā The Guidance also notes the steep rise of online account takeovers and unauthorized online fund transfers related to business accounts in the last five years.
ĀRecently, small- to medium-sized businesses have been primary targets as cyber criminals have recognized that the security controls they have in place are not as robust as that of larger businesses.Ā Analysis indicates enhanced controls over administrative access and functions related to business accounts and layered security using multiple and independent controls would help to reduce these types of crime.Ā

In 2013, the professional and collegiate levels of lacrosse instituted shot clocks in the sport, albeit in different forms.
The Major Lacrosse League uses a 60-second timer, whereas at the collegiate level, a 30-second shot clock ticks once an official has issued a stall warning.
While execution varies, both use identical means — the shot clock is reset after a goal, a shot hits the post, is saved by the goalie or there is a change of possession. In addition, teams have 20 seconds to clear the ball across the midfield line.
Will the high school game ever see either?
Typically, there's a trickle-down effect.
When professional leagues institute rule changes or new regulations, the collegiate level usually adopts said changes a year or two seasons after, as does the high school level a season or two following the collegiate level.
So, it wouldn't be out of the question to see a shot clock coming to high school lacrosse in the immediate future. It's almost expected.
The question, however, is should the high school level follow suit? I'm not so sure that would be the right call just yet. Neither does Cathedral Catholic boys lacrosse coach Jim Mandler nor St. Margaret's coach Glen Miles.
"At the high school level, I'm not sure it's necessary," Mandler said.
"At the collegiate level, however, those guys can hold the ball forever if they wanted to. High school is competitive enough that good defenses pressuring can force turnovers and limit that type of possession. Turnovers happen all the time in high school."
Miles added: "If it became a strategy where a lesser team stalled, then yes. I'm not sure many high school teams are good enough to stall like that, though."
Certainly, a shot clock wouldn't be detrimental; by no means would it harm the sport, but if it isn't necessary, if it's superfluous, why open that can of worms.
It'd be a headache.
"Logistically, getting a clock to all the fields would be difficult. We're already struggling to play," Miles said. "A parent would have to lug it to the field, find a source of energy to operate it etcetera, etcetera. It may just be more a hassle."
Neither would oppose the implementation of a shot clock at the high school level, but neither would be a driving force behind it.
If it happens? Cool. If it doesn't? No worries.
Another coach, however, was concerned about the nature of stalling. When approached to speak about the topic in 2013, La Costa Canyon coach Jesse Foss mentioned a game in Philadelphia that year in which the opposing team maintained possession for the first four minutes of the match.
"I would love to stop that kind of play," Foss told the U-T in a story published in 2013.
"Get the action moving up and down the field like the game is supposed to be played. More good things will happen when you force the action than if you stand around hoping the defense will just doze off."
For now, it just seems like an unnecessary headache waiting to happen — a burden that wouldn't yield major changes in the game. If that's the case, why bother, now?Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Jerusalem (Oct. 1)
Major Roy A. Farran, British officer charged with the murder of a 17-year-old Jewish yorth Alemender Rubovitz, last May, wont on trial here this morning before the highest Bcitish ##tary court. Farran pleaded "not guilty."
The trial of the British officer who twice fled in an attempt to avoid prosecution and who was extradited from Syria the first time and surrendered after the second flight, opened in an atmosphere free of tension which usually accompanies a Palestine trial at which the defendant faces capital punishment. The former commando officer, who was loaned to the Palestine police force to organize anti-extremist strong arm squads, entered the courtroom almost unguarded and in full military dress with two rows of war decorations.
The prosecution opened its case by presenting the story of the alleged murder of Rubovitz, who disappeared on the evening of May 6 and has never been found. The boy was seen to be kidnapped by a number of men in military or semi-military dress who dragged him into a large black sedan.
Although the body was never recovered, it is charged that Farran and his accomplices killed Rubovitz during "questioning" concerning his alleged Sternist activities and turned his body over to a group of Bedouins for burial. The Palestine police have notified the victim's family that "it is presumed" that he is dead.
The prosecution submitted as evidence a military cap, found at the scene of the kidnapping, which had Farran's name inscribed on the sweatband, with the exception of one letter. The name appeared as "FAR," then a blank space, followed by "AN."
During the two-and-a-half hours of the trial this morning, Rubovitz' brother, Jacob, was called to identify a photograph of the missing youth, and two 13-year-old boys who witnessed the abduction were placed on the stand. The court was forced to adjourn for a short time during Jacob Rubovitz' testimony owing to the mysterious disappearance of a photograph of Alexander from the prosecution's files. When a second likeness was obtained, Jacob made a positive identification.
Both boys who witnessed the crime identified the photograph as being that of the youth whom they saw abducted and said that they had seen a man dressed in slacks, tennis shoes and an army shirt running from the scene. One boy, Jacob Jecobson, said, in response to a question, that he thought that he could identify the man.
A total of 29 witnesses, 17 for the prosecution and 12 for the defense, will be called. Both attorneys for the defense and for the state arrived from Britain, the prosecutor flying in hours before the trial opened.
Although representatives of the entire local press were permitted to witness the proceedings, all spectators were searched two and three times before being admitted to the courtroom. Special permits were required for passage through heavy detachments of police and troops who had cordoned off the building to protect the court and the accused.
Inside the court, observers were struck by the air of ease which prevailed aqually among the court, the guards who carried no rifles or bayonets but wore only side arms, and the prisoner. One observer commented that Farran was being treated most "tenderly" by all who came in contact with him.

The FAA just released the long-awaited final order that revises the amateur-built aircraft certification policy and guidelines for how builders should properly certify every step of the building process (see page 42 of Tuesday's edition of NBAA Convention News). While changes to the certification policy, better known as the "51-percent rule," address a number of key points, two of the most critical are the final clarification of the required level of builder participation and professional builder assistance. Joe Norris, homebuilders manager for the Experimental Aircraft Association, said, "We feel that this new policy is not only a victory for EAA and homebuilders, but also a victory for the FAA because it gives them better tools to enforce the regulation and make sure everyone is working under the same set of rules." For more information, see the EAA at Booth No. 1263.

Celebrities Flocked To Ann Taylor's (?) Fashion Show
Fashion Week isn't just a time for crazy-expensive brands that are out of most people's price ranges to show what they have coming down the pipeline. Besides the fine looks we saw from Snuggie, Ann Taylor also hosted a show, attended by important editors and celebrities, including Elle's Joe Zee, Vanessa Williams, Gretchen Mol, Mena Suvari, Amanda Bynes, Kelly Rutherford, and more.
The clothes shown weren't what the retailer will be selling come spring 2010, like most shows. Instead, they were items that are available right now. While the whole thing was a marketing ploy to get more people interested in Ann Taylor clothes, it might have worked. Vanessa Williams admitted to being a fan of the dress she wore for the event, which fit her off the rack, and Katherine McPhee told WWD she loves their accessories.
Check out Ann Taylor's newest arrivals, and tell us what you think!

PRESTEIGNE and Norton allotments were officially opened in March 2010 and it was always part of the original vision that there would be a communal space where plot holders could meet up for a neighbourly chat, share a cuppa and swap tips for growing and also to provide an information point and library of magazines and books on the subject of organic vegetable production.
One of the original allotment group ,members and current treasurer Lin Scrannage said: "We have been fundraising for four years with raffles, quizzes and produce sales and finally we have raised enough money to purchase a good quality wooden shed that will also give those people who don't have their own shed on site some shelter from sum or rain".
The shed has been furnished with chairs from the community furniture barn in town or kindly donated via Freegle. No tools will be kept in the shed it will be a communal space for plot holders to enjoy.
The group had planned for Jim Bell one of the instigators behind the allotments to do the official opening of the shed but Jim is in Cottage View residential home in Knighton and was taken ill recently.
The official opening was done instead by two of the original group who got the allotments started in Presteigne Lin Scrannage and Margaret Galliers chairman of the allotments association watched by members of the original group Sue Robinson and Gilly Johnson, allotment holders and supporters.

This why people run for office to begin with.
To be an ambassador to the people, to lead the community to prosperity, to wield the power of public office to leave the district or city in a better state than when you arrived.
And all of the fun stuff that comes along with it.
Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer had a banner week full of spectacular photo opportunities and awareness initiatives with a the Citrus Bowl as a it's centerpiece. All of this with a tropical storm tossing and turning in the Gulf.
Let's start with that Citrus Bowl. Last Sunday, the Orlando Sentinel broke the story that Dyer had struck a deal with Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs over renovations for the 76 year old stadium.
Everyone rolled their eyes when they heard that the Citrus Bowl needed to be renovated immediately. More money, needed right now, for the venues. Understandably, Orange County Mayor Jacobs was among the most skeptical of this request. She already had to audit the books for the new performing arts center last year, and now Dyer wanted to talk Bowl renovations. The City of Orlando couldn't take the financial risk by itself and needed backing from the County. After the threat of losing bowl games and major events became a possibility, Jacobs finally agreed.
Orlando and Orange County will most likely keep it's bowl games (and the millions generated) as well as remain competitive for future national events.
Mayor Dyer gets that political trophy in 2014, just in time for whatever his next political move might be.
Dyer could have called the week a winner after Monday but it was just the beginning. Tuesday brought PR gold in the form of a photo opportunity of Dyer and City Commissioner Patty Sheehan releasing Black Neck Swans into their new home at Lake Eola Park
A kinder, gentler Mayor of Orlando.
What good are venues if you can't fill the seats year around? Dyer welcomed the new Orlando Solar Bears coach on Wednesday. The minor league hockey team is returning to Orlando and will fill those gaps between concerts and Magic road trips. If Dwight Howard leaves, we're going to need all the help we can get.
Dyer sent out advisories on social media in the wake of scammers calling Orlando residents posing as OUC representatives in an attempt to fish credit card numbers for false purchases.
So, what does all of this mean?
Well, first off these events are a lot of work. So, the Mayor's PR/Outreach teams made big plays this week. All of these events got pop in the press and all of them flex the resources of the city, from world class sporting events to keeping residents safe from cybercrime.
Except for a few grunts about the Citrus Bowl, the rest were easy political victories, all lined up, one behind the other. This is how you win re-election by a landslide.
And how you continue to fuel speculations and set the stage for any "higher office" plans….

Florentine Opera Presents 'Rigoletto'
Intense drama in Verdi's first great opera
Rigoletto, Verdi's first great opera, never
deviates from that familiar pattern characterizing Italian opera at its most
melodious. Yet Rigoletto stands apart
as an archetype�of Verdi's format at its
most dramatically intense. Although it includes Verdi's all-too-familiar
introductory oom-pah-pah beat followed by his customary pattern of
solo-duet-quartet-chorus succession, Rigoletto
is far more subtle—a finely chiseled work with barely a superfluous passage.
Its tunefulness almost belies the tragic tale of a hunchbacked court jester who
bears ridicule and abuse to protect the innocence of his secretly sequestered
daughter. Rigoletto'spristine economy only serves to
heighten a warmer musical framework encompassing greater emotional depth than
his previous work. First produced in 1851 (and based on a Victor Hugo novel),
it became an instant success. The licentious Duke's signature tune, "La Donna e
Mobile," was sung in the streets the day after the premiere.
The brief but ominous
introduction to Rigoletto�tells us this is a work to be reckoned
with. A court scene introduces the Duke's famous aria, "Questa o Quella,"
followed by�the soon-to-be-executed
Monterone laying a curse on the misshapen mocking jester, Rigoletto. That curse
will begin to haunt Rigoletto and sets the tone for the rest of the act that
concludes with the opera's first great aria, "Pari siamo."
The Duke, in disguise,
has become infatuated with Rigoletto's hapless daughter, Gilda, who returns his
ardor in the familiar coloratura aria, "Caro Nome." The father-daughter duets
that follow�are musically simple and
guileless, counter-pointing Rigoletto's few moments of tenderness with the
graphic musical intensity accompanying his later resolve to murder the
lecherous Duke. With the kidnapping of Gilda and the conflicting contrasts in
Verdi's riveting score, the act ends with Rigoletto's frantic cry
Great operas are defined
by great moments coming together in climactic configurations that guide the
drama to a final resolution designed to engulf the audience emotionally. Rigoletto'ssecond act introduces a desperate jester whose pitiful cries of
la-la-la fool no one as he searches for his daughter. Finally, the increasing
musical tension erupts into Rigoletto's magnificent aria denouncing the corrupt
courtiers who have turned over his not unwilling daughter to the Duke. A
repentant though ravished Gilda wants no retribution. She still loves the Duke,
but her father will have none of it, ignoring the malediction and�hiring Sparafucile to kill the Duke.
The irony of the
conclusion reiterates the conflicting subtleties of Verdi's characterizations,
yet the score remains brisk and economic. The Duke is not evil and Gilda's
passions are more mature than suspected. She gives her life for her lover
during one of Verdi's most ominous trios in a stormy night scene with an
untypical eerie offstage humming chorus to underline the foreboding of
Rigoletto's final undoing.
Rigoletto returns to
listen in surprised horror to the unwitting Duke's background refrain of "La
Donna�e Mobile." The jester's
revenge has come full circle, destroying the one he treasures most as he
screams "Maledizione!" for the last time in this magnificent score.
William Florescu,
general director of the Florentine Opera, will direct Rigoletto at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, May 21-23.
As a strong proponent of modern and unusual operas, Florescu promises a
refreshing new take on this venerated classic, following the recent, energizing
experience of producing the vividly contemporary Elmer Gantry. Costumes and decor will be newly designed in an
attractive traditional décor. Rigolettowill
be sung alternately by newcomers Luis Ledesma and Peter Castaldi, with Georgia
Jarman returning to the Florentine as Gilda. The performance promises to be

State leaders applaud verdict
Updated 11:21 pm, Friday, August 23, 2013
FORT HOOD — Both U.S. senators from Texas, Gov. Rick Perry and other state leaders voiced unwavering support for victims of the 2009 shooting and their families as a jury reached a verdict that some said was overdue.
Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn said he hopes the Fort Hood-Killeen community can find healing in the wake of Friday's conviction of Maj. Nidal Hasan on capital murder charges.
"The victims and families have had to wait for far too long for today's decision, but I hope they can take some relief in today's outcome as they and the entire Fort Hood community continues to grieve," Cornyn said in a statement.
News Channel
"We must turn our attention to ensuring that the victims of this horrible tragedy and their families receive the full honors and benefits bestowed upon soldiers who are wounded or killed in overseas combat zones."
Cornyn's office said he's drafting legislation to make the victims and their families eligible for all honors and benefits available to U.S. troops in overseas combat zones.
A similar bill was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives a few days before the trial began Aug. 6.
In a brief statement, Perry said the verdict "affirms that we are a nation of laws; honors the victims of this heinous act; and proves that, even in the face of unspeakable tragedy, we will never waver from the core principles for which they gave their lives: freedom, liberty and democracy."
State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, chairwoman of the Senate Veteran Affairs and Military Installations Committee, said in a release she is "grateful that the jury today took a step toward justice for the heroes and their families that lost their lives or loved ones on that dark day at Fort Hood."
Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz said the verdict dispels the notion advanced by Defense Department officials that the 2009 shooting was a case of workplace violence.
"I hope and pray this verdict will bring some peace to Nidal Hasan's victims and their families. But if we ever hope to defeat the ongoing threat from radical Islamism, we need to start by calling this terrorist attack on our armed forces by its name," Cruz said in a statement.
Along similar lines, Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson announced that as chairman of the Veterans Land Board, he will seek to provide the same spousal benefits to survivors of the deceased victims that are given to those of Texans killed in combat.
"This wasn't workplace violence — these were casualties of war, and we're going to change the rules to give these families full access to VLB benefits," Patterson said in a statement shortly before the verdict was reached.
Even though none of the 13 killed was from Texas, all of them died "while assigned to duty in Texas or in support of the military in Texas," said Patterson, who compared the victims to Alamo defenders William Barret Travis and Davy Crockett.
"They were physically on duty in Texas and chose to remain until the time of their death in defense of both the citizens of the United States and Texas. Like Travis and Crockett, their spilled blood remains forever intermingled with Texas soil," Patterson said.
Benefits provided by the Veterans Land Board include below-market interest rate loans for land and home purchases and home improvements.
The agency also runs veterans homes and four state veterans' cemeteries, including one on the outskirts of Killeen.

Where'd Selena Gomez's Implants Go?
Because people like me will never understand how breasts work (Chlorophyll?), there's been a lot of talk recently about Selena Gomez getting implants. Except here she is over the weekend looking noticeably less chestier which means she probably didn't get new boobs. Unless… she forgot to do that thing where she sticks her thumb in her mouth and blows really hard to inflate them which I don't see how it couldn't be. Case closed!
Adding… She said what about what now? A Gaza strip? What's that? Some sort of vagina thing?

Social Democratic Party leader Mizuho Fukushima said she has no regrets about leaving the ruling coalition and will only consider returning if the Democratic Party of Japan rules out the Henoko coast as the relocation site for U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma in Okinawa.
"I have zero" regrets about leaving, Fukushima said. "I personally experienced that there were many things we could do as a part of the government and the ruling bloc. . . . But if we had signed (the agreement to move the base to Henoko), the public would have lost their trust in the SDP."
The SDP left at the end of May after Fukushima was booted out as consumer affairs minister for refusing to endorse the Japanese-U.S. agreement to move the contentious air station from crowded Ginowan to Henoko, a district farther north on Okinawa Island and part of Camp Schwab.
Despite campaigning on a vow to move the base out of the prefecture, Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama ended up signing the deal with Washington to keep it within Okinawa, a decision that, along with a money scandal, soon forced him to step down in early June.
The SDP has five seats in the Upper House, three of which will be up for grabs in the July 11 election.
The party is backing 14 candidates, including Fukushima, who will be running in the proportional representation segment.
There was a lot of internal debate over whether the SDP should leave the coalition, and in conclusion, one of its candidates, Masamichi Kondo, decided not to represent the party to protest the move. Kondo is now running as an independent.
Fukushima said the party is prepared for an uphill battle.
"We have to make this a positive step," Fukushima said. "I think people understood that the SDP will not waver on peace-related issues, that we will honor our words and take action."
Although the SDP is now technically part of the opposition camp, it remains in the unique position of being able to directly or indirectly support some DPJ candidates.
Fukushima said these decisions will be left to each electoral district, adding that aside from the Futenma issue, the DPJ-led government is moving in a more positive direction than its predecessor, the conservative Liberal Democratic Party.
"The SDP does not think we should go back to an LDP-led government," Fukushima said. "But at the same time, we couldn't stay in the current government and agree to moving Futenma to Henoko and building a base there."
But since Naoto Kan took over as prime minister, another key issue has surfaced that threatens to drive a wedge between the two parties: a future consumption tax hike.
Fukushima expressed concern that without the SDP in the coalition, the DPJ is beginning to lean more toward LDP policies.
"What is it trying to do, go in the same direction as the LDP with the Futenma issue and raise the consumption tax to 10 percent?" she asked.
Fukushima, who strongly opposes the tax hike, said there are other ways to increase revenue, including hiking income taxes on the rich.
The SDP believes Japan's main social problem is wage disparity and poverty, Fukushima said, adding rectifying an unfair tax system is the answer.
This year, the SDP hopes to enact a revised worker dispatch law that would ban temporary workers from engaging in manufacturing jobs, have the ¥13,000 per month child allowance distributed, increase the number of day care centers and oppose any consumption tax hike.
While the SDP and DPJ are in complete conflict over two issues, she said there are still many areas where they can collaborate.
"I think there are many other themes, like human rights and labor legislation issues, that we can work on together with the DPJ," Fukushima said.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/1/2014 (1305 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I'm a short man with a small build who has fallen in love with a tall, large-boned woman. I should say I'm not short and small in all ways! We work together and have formed a secret union -- or so we thought. No one had ever seen us together. We are always in bed or cooking up great meals, either at her house or mine, and we both live far from work.
My secret love thought we were getting away with this, until some jealous jerk with no social life, said to her, "So how's it going with Pee Wee?" My girlfriend is tough like Melissa McCarthy, and shot right back: "There's nothing tiny about him, and he's more of a man than you'll ever be!" This was not her smartest move -- although I love her for it -- because now people are looking at me funny and I know they know.
So we're caught. Now what do we do -- talk to the boss or try to keep a low profile? We're both single, but our boss is old-school about work affairs. -- Hardly a Pee Wee, Winnipeg
Dear Hardly: If the place is small, the boss may already know. In that case, you may as well stay late and have a chat about it and assure him or her you love each other, plan never to break up and you won't let it interfere with work. If the place is big, and it's just your department gossiping, you might be able to corral it.
Most relationships are made at work these days because people of both sexes work so much together and feelings can develop. Other couples must have formed within those walls. How did they work it out? Usually bosses prefer a happy stable relationship to an affair between married people or a couple of employees getting it on together in the stockroom after hours. If you were an old-school boss would you want to know? Readers who have experience and/or an opinion to share on the dilemma, please write in with your ideas.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I have a big decision to make. I was married to a doctor, but after his affair came to light, we got divorced. He married the other woman, but my kids tell me she just moved out to an apartment and now they're getting divorced.
Last night about 10 p.m., the phone rang and it was her. My enemy called me to ask if we could have a talk about the "tower of arrogance" we were both married to. I told her she had caused myself and my kids a lot of pain and our home broke up because of her. She said, "I just want you to know he chased me for two years first. I didn't go after him." I said she was still at fault for our family breakup because she knew he was married with children. She said quietly she was "very, very sorry."
I said I'd have to think about talking to her. Should I meet her? I admit I'm curious and have a lot of questions, but will it just resurrect a lot of pain? -- Undecided, Winnipeg
Dear Undecided: Forget "should." It's not a matter of whether it's a smart plan or not, it's a matter of whether you can help yourself, or if you would even want to. This is a life drama -- your life drama -- and opening this chapter could answer a lot of upsetting questions you have lived with in your head. Yes, it might make you upset for a time, but it might also give you a feeling of vindication. She likely discovered all the faults and annoyances you suffered with him -- people rarely change much.
Sometimes two exes find they have a lot in common as it was his taste that chose both of you. Consider this: If you don't talk to her, you'll waste a lot of time wondering what you would have found out.
Please send your questions or comments c/o email@example.com or mail letters to Miss Lonelyhearts c/o Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6

New River Community College recently said farewell to two longtime employees. Both Carol Hurst, dean of the division of arts and sciences, and Dan Lookadoo, dean of the division of business and technologies, have retired.
Hired at about the same time, Hurst and Lookadoo both retire with 25 years of service at NRCC. Both were celebrated at a recent reception, where friends and colleagues lauded them for their dedication and leadership.
Hurst, of Floyd, began her career at NRCC as an adjunct instructor teaching English classes. Prior to that, she had been teaching English at Pulaski County High School.
After making the jump from NRCC instructor to dean, Hurst found that she enjoyed the opportunity to work with the faculty. "I really enjoy assisting faculty in creating high quality courses and programs," she says. "I also enjoy helping them get the equipment and materials they need in order to do their jobs well."
In addition to a passion for making sure her faculty members are successful in the classroom, Hurst notes that one of her favorite things about NRCC is the culture. "It's a culture that's centered on supporting people," she says. "Whether we're talking about students, faculty or staff, I really appreciate that."
In that same vein, Hurst says the people and the culture are what she'll miss most about the college. But, like many retirees, she says she's also ready to step aside. "I'm looking forward to being able to relax and set my own schedule," she says.
Lookadoo's path to the dean's office at NRCC was similar in that he started out as an instructor at the college. He taught in the electronics, instrumentation and electricity division.
Before coming to NRCC, he served in the U.S. Air Force for 20 years. In his later military years, he was the avionics program superintendent for the Community College of the Air Force.
Lookadoo echoes Hurst's sentiments when it comes to helping NRCC faculty and says he also especially enjoys working with students. "I like to help students figure out what to do, which courses to take and how to get through the maze of education," he says.
His passion for helping students extends back to his days as an instructor and he recalls one student in particular whose story stays with him.
Lookadoo met the student while giving a career day presentation at a local middle school. When the student helped him carry his presentation materials out to his car, Lookadoo said he seemed very excited about the electronics, instrumentation and electricity programs.
Years later, Lookadoo discovered that the same student was having trouble in high school and worked to make special arrangements for him to attend the NRCC class he was teaching. In the end, the struggling student turned things around, receiving three degrees from NRCC and being selected as an outstanding student.
"It's never too early to plant a seed!" says Lookadoo, with a laugh.
Like Hurst, Lookadoo says he'll miss the camaraderie of the college's faculty and staff in his retirement. As for what he'll be up to, he says he's leaving that up to his wife of 40 years, Kay. "I'll do whatever Kay wants to do," he says.
Hurst and Lookadoo leave their respective offices in capable hands. Peter Anderson, formerly NRCC's Health Information Technology Education grant coordinator, recently became the new dean of business and technologies. Janice Shelton, NRCC professor of English, will become interim dean of arts and sciences.

Emily Packard Busy Weekend Recap
Posted by: newsla on May 20, 2014 - 02:45 PM
Emily Packard Busy Weekend Recap
With Mother Nature winning again postponing the Devilâs Bowl race to Sunday, it was off to Airborne Speedway for Emily Packard and her 9X Northstar Fireworks/Packard Fuels sponsored team for the ACT 100 race.
Spending most of the afternoon practicing and getting the car to run consistent laps, Packard hit the track in the second heat race starting in the 8th and final starting spot in her heat. With only 10 laps to work her way to the front, Packard found herself crossing the finish line on the last lap in 6th position, forcing her to have to run the consolation race. âI found myself behind some slower cars, and with only ten laps to move up, I had to work to get around them longer than I wanted,â said Packard. Staring the consolation race in third, Packard maintained the third position throughout the race to finish in third and get her into the race.
Starting 10th in the feature, Packard knew that she could only wait so long before she had to make her move. âWith a 100 lap race itâs not as critical to maintain your tires. You want to conserve a little bit at the beginning, but not as you would in a 150 lap race,â said Packard. After an early caution, the race ran green for more than 80 laps and Packard drove her own race falling back to 11th, and then driving back up to 10th.
With the final caution coming out on lap 94, Packard restarted the race in 9th position, but things didnât go as planned on the restart. âTwo cars in front of me started to go sideways and there was nothing that we could have done about it,â Packard said. This jam up allowed for the outside lane to move up, and Packard lost two positions, falling back out of the top ten. She battled with the 58VT for the last 6 laps, trying to get back up into the top ten, but when the checkers fell she was in 11th position. âI am happy with my finish,â said Packard, âwe always want to make sure that we are towards the front of the field at the end. We are coming home with a decent car and had a really good day.â
With Airborne in the books, Packard and the team packed up and headed over to Devilâs Bowl Speedway to run the rescheduled race postponed from Friday night. Since she doesnât often get to run in front of one of her sponsors, Rutland Regional Medical Center, this was a great opportunity to do just that. This was also a chance for the late model teams to support the local tracks, as well as get some valuable information on how the car handles.
Starting in second during her heat, she wasted no time getting out front and checking out. Leading the majority of the laps she was almost a straight away ahead of the second place car at the finish. After the redraw, Packard started 9th in the feature, and when the green flag fell, she found herself marred behind two cars that held her up. âWe had a really fast car, I caught a few bad breaks and felt that I could have gotten a little more,â said Packard.
Packard made her way around the slower cars, continuing to work her way up to the front, but the cautions seemed to come out just as she was making the pass. On the last lap, Packard went high in turn three, making it three wide coming off turn four heading to the checkered flag, coming across the line in the fourth position, just edging out the other two drivers. âIn the end we made it up to fourth, which we are really happy with,â Packard said, âWe were here to learn more about the car and try to make a little more headway. We were able to achieve that goal.â
âA big thank you to my sponsors, Northstar Fireworks, Packard Fuels, Yipes! of Barre, Fecteau Homes, Berlin Optical Expressions, GossCars.com, Be the Match, Rutland Regional Medical Center, and R.G. Paving, I appreciate their sponsorship.â
Packard finds herself fourth in the ACT Tour points heading into the next race, the Riverside 150 ACT race at Riverside Speedway in Groveton, NH on June 7th.
