A house at 517 Old Valley Road, Harriman, is engulfed with flames Wednesday evening. Multiple agencies responded to the fire. Midtown Volunteer Fire Department Chief Randy Scarborough said no one was in the house. He said the cause of the blaze is under investigation. Wednesday was a busy day for firefighters. A house at 317 Lakemont Drive, Rockwood, caught on fire Wednesday morning. According to emergency dispatch records, West Roane County Volunteer Fire Department assisted Rockwood Fire Department in fighting that blaze
December is a common month for weddings, but a number of Roane County residents decided to make their wedding anniversary extra special — and easy to remember.
As of 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 12, four couples had visited the Roane County Clerk's office to apply for their marriage license and to tie the knot there with former Roane County Commissioner Una Coffman as justice of the peace.
They were following a common theme.
Many couples around the world decided to make it official on 12-12-12.
Several residents were evacuated in the Pine Hills area of Harriman on Dec. 1 because of a significant gas leak.
"We had to evacuate," said Bill Young, Harriman Utility Board manager. "We didn't have to, but we did for safety."
Young said the situation was tricky because utility workers had to fix the leak while the line was still "hot" or under pressure.
The utility recently purchased fire suits for employees working in gas for such situations.
Months after the position came open, Roane County still doesn't have the parks and recreation director job filled.
"We're not just going to hire anybody off the street," Roane County Executive Ron Woody said. "We're selective on our side about the candidate we want."
The job opened up over the summer when Tony Brown left to go work for the road department.
Woody said six interviews were conducted. He said the job was offered to one of the candidates, but the person turned it down.
Hammer-wielding Thomas Cook of Harriman works with a crew dismantling a dock at 58 Landing in Kingston. The dock once served a privately owned Watts Bar Belle riverboat the city allowed to operate there, but it was left behind when the enterprise left because of financial problems. After determining that it was built below standards, the city decided to take it apart and salvage usable material to expand the docks at the Ladd Park boat ramp.

The eight-day holiday of Hanukkah, or the "Feast of Lights," which this year is observed from the evening of Saturday, Dec. 8, to Sunday, Dec. 16, commemorates what many historians as well as religious scholars consider to be the first organized revolt by a nation against tyranny.
The story of Hanukkah goes back well over 2,000 years.
Roane County's congressman is noncomittal about the chances for a deal to avoid the what some have termed a looming fiscal cliff in the federal government.
"I won't say I'm optimistic or pessimistic," said Chuck Fleischmann, who represents Tennessee's Third Congressional District that includes Roane County. "I'm going to continue to be very diligent and vigilant, study the process, so I'm prepared to act if that (a deal) happens."
A man accused of sex crimes in Georgia was arrested in Rockwood last Friday.
City police went with the U.S. Marshals Service to a bakery to arrest William Bradley Jones, who was wanted for aggravated sodomy and aggravated child molestation.
Jones, 22, was arrested and taken to the Roane County Jail.
His home address in police and jail records was listed as 630 N. Front St., Rockwood.
The crimes Jones allegedly committed occurred over the summer in Woodstock, Ga.
The alleged victim was 15.
Although a changes in the Roane County News logo was made as planned with the last edition, the paper size did not change as announced due to a glitch in the pressroom
The new, narrower format already adopted by the larger dailies in our area is now being used by the Roane County News.
Newspapers have made the move to save on newsprint.
A lack of competition in the paper market and other factors have sent newsprint paper costs soaring over the years.

The operative word in the latest progress update on Kingston's new city hall might be "snug."
That's a good a general word to describe the budget, some of the space allocation, and even progress toward meeting projected timelines for getting the new hall up and running.
Snug, but certainly not uncomfortable.
And no one is complaining, as the project seems to be going as well as can be expected for an endeavor of this magnitude.

This is the new FC Schalke 04 Home football shirt, by adidas, to be worn in the 2014-15 season which is available here.
The German Bundesliga club has revealed the new shirt in the process of publicising the opportunity offered to fans to have their photograph included within a player's shirt numbering next season.
Creative Football T-Shirts at Footytees.com - Featuring prints by a range of talented artists
The shirt, in the standard blue with darker chalkstripes, includes a grandad collar, white adidas stripes and the now signature curved line across the upper back - also in white. The adidas logo, crest and Gazprom sponsor contrast with the blue backdrop as well.
The colours and styles of the shorts and socks will be revealed in due course.

Got to say I'm a sucker for those pinstripes and the collar, really like this. :-)
-12 # 2014-02-19 16:48
Adidas have run out of ideas so its back to the 1996 templates a la Newcastle. Maybe Bayern will get the big cricket collar like Liverpool had!!
+13 # 2014-02-19 17:24
I like it. Quite smart. Does seem a bit like they are going back to the mid 90s templates though, especially seeing the Copenhagen ones that's like Liverpool a la 95.
-3 # 2014-02-19 18:52
Draxler will never wear this one. He will be wearing a red and white Puma shirt next season...
+5 # 2014-02-20 04:13
looks like all adidas templates are going to have that useless stripe on the back like the WC kits
+2 # 2014-02-26 22:17
For anyone who plays football, this collar is ideal. There is nothing worse than a bit flappy collar when its hot outside e.g. Ac Milan and Scotland last year.
Do you think most players will button it up fully or leave it open?

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
If all you want for Christmas is a red hot housing market, here's where to look: California, which is truly 2012's golden state. Then there are Florida; Phoenix; Washington, D.C.; Atlanta; and Seattle, where price performances all have ranged from outstanding to very good indeed.
A check of the latest monthly data collected from 146 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) across the country by Realtor.com shows that no other state has seen such dramatic price increases and such fast-paced selling times during the past 12 months compared to California. None is even close.
Consider this:
- All 12 of the major California markets monitored by Realtor.com have seen significant median list price increases, whereas nationally list prices have essentially been flat, with a growing number of Midwest and northeastern markets trending negative.
- Of the top 10 highest appreciating markets in the U.S this year, seven are in California. They include several that are literally off the charts — Sacramento, the state capital, where median list prices are 35.3 percent higher than they were last November; Santa Barbara (up 29.6 percent); San Francisco (up 22.9 percent, which is extraordinary given that the city's $768,000 median makes it the highest priced major metropolitan area in the country); and San Jose (up 22 percent).
- Seven of the 10 U.S. cities with the shortest median days-on-market – how fast houses go to contract after being listed – are in California. They include Oakland, where the turnaround time from listing to sale is slightly more than three weeks (24 days); Stockton-Lodi (29 days); Sacramento (38 days); and Fresno (47 days). All of these areas have experienced severe inventory shortages of houses to sell, making competition to purchase new listings intense. Sacramento's inventory is down an unprecedented 65 percent year-over-year.
Nationally, by comparison, it takes a median 101 days to sell a house; the median inventory decline among the 146 top cities is 16.87 percent.
Florida markets also have far outperformed on median prices in the past 12 months, although hints of softness are evident in a handful of areas. Punta Gorda, just south of Sarasota on the state's west coast, is currently the 10th fastest appreciating market in the U.S. at 13.1 percent for the year. Fort Myers, still farther to the south on the Gulf of Mexico, has seen a median 10.7 percent listing price gain; Miami is up by 10 percent; Fort Lauderdale, 8.5 percent; Jacksonville, 7.6 percent; West Palm Beach, 7.3 percent; and Lakeland, 7 percent.
But unlike California, not every Florida market is reporting solid gains. Naples, for instance, is up just 1.4 percent, Melbourne-Titusville has seen no appreciation in list prices, and Fort Pierce-Port Saint Lucie is down by 0.21 percent.
Elsewhere around the country among top performers, check out Phoenix (up 21.4 percent,) which is still rebounding strongly from the bust and burning through its inventory of distressed houses and condos; Atlanta (up 14.7 percent); Seattle (up 12.7 percent); and the Washington, D.C., metro area, where median list prices are up 11.7 percent.
Of course none of these impressive price increases necessarily tell you where any given market is headed in 2013. Some of the rates of gain, such as Sacramento's, are probably not sustainable absent major changes in the local economic base that are currently not in sight. Also, fast-rising prices inevitably attract once-reluctant sellers back into the game, increasing inventory and eventually cooling off price rises.
Then there's another imponderable: D.C.'s and much of high-cost California's gains could be negatively impacted if Congress adopts tax reforms and austerity budgets that make owning real estate more expensive for upper income buyers.
But assuming nothing too radical comes out of the fiscal cliff and federal spending negotiations now underway, you can't ignore most of these high-performing markets. For a variety of reasons, people are eager to live in those cities, buy houses in them, and pay rising prices for them.

Google Announces 18 New Android Mobile Phones
At the Google I/O developer conference in San Francisco on May 27, Google's senior director for mobile platforms Andy Rubin made it public that many new Google phones are expected to appear by end of 2009.
According to an article in the New York Times, Google has a direct scoop on 18 new Android-based mobile phones hitting the market by end of this year, with the number perhaps as high as 20. Four or five of these devices should be real Google phones, that is, they'll have the logo and work with Gmail and other services, such as the G1 from T-Mobile.
A majority of the anticipated phones (12 to 14, according to Rubin) subscribe to Google's "small strings" option whereby manufacturers can load Android for free into their devices, but also agree to include Google applications on them. Another five or six vendors subscribe to the "bigger strings" option where devices need to carry the Google logo, but which includes a "no censorship" clause to protect other Android applications developed on them (no matter the risk involved). The third option is "obligation-free," where the devices have no preloaded Google applications, an environment in which Google has less control and where it is harder to predict how many devices of this type will hit the market.
Altogether eight to nine manufacturers will be producing these devices. Most of the devices should appear in Europe, according to Rubin. It seems carriers and makers in the U.S. want to produce relatively fewer but more highly distinctive Android mobile phones to give themselves a competitive edge.

You do not need to have experience in meditation or be a Buddhist to attend. The meditation classes we offer are suitable for all individuals, whatever their level of interest – from those who seek simple relaxation and stress relief, to those who wish to learn about Modern Buddhism. Everyone is welcome!
Q. I've never been to a Buddhist Temple before. What should I expect?
Classes at the Temple are very accessible. You do not need to bring any mats or wear any special clothing. Both chairs and cushions are available at the Temple, so you can sit wherever you're most comfortable. There is no physical exercise, yoga, or stretching involved. When entering the meditation room, it is traditional to take off shoes and hats. Also, when the Teacher enters, we normally stand out of respect for Buddha's teachings.
Q. What does a typical Prayers for World Peace look like? A typical class consists of a simple relaxation meditation, a short teaching, and inspiring prayers (we have prayer booklets so you can follow along if you wish). The meditations are guided and are suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
Q: I've been coming to classes for a while. I really like what I hear. Is there something more I can try?
For those students who want to deepen their experience of Buddhism, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso designed the Foundation Program (FP). FP allows us to become more deeply familiar with Buddhist teachings by systematically studying one of five texts on the FP curriculum.

Building on the foundation grounded in an interdisciplinary and multi-university collaborative research network and research program addressing health-related problems through basic and translational neuroscience, we will develop a comprehensive training and mentoring program that serves both faculty and students. There is a need on the Island to prepare competitive neuroscience researchers, and our program aims to fill this gap with Puerto Rican residents, who represent a considerable part of all authentic Hispanic Americans. Furthermore, due to the current economic situation on the Island, a significant number of our potential trainees come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Thus, creating on the Island a strong and efficient training and mentoring center in neuroscience has the potential to significantly promote workforce diversity in the U.S., which is clearly in accord with the goals of the SNRP. In the core of the program, we will have a group of productive senior faculty employed inside and outside UCC, who will provide mentoring to program participants and, along with others, will oversee training and career development activities. We will select the most promising junior faculty members and students as program participants, provide them with individual mentoring, and monitor their progress. We will work with participants to prepare individual career development plans. This will, include regular presentations both internally and at national and international meetings, placements for research practice experience in research intensive institutions, individual plans for grant proposal submission, and career guidance. Such plans will be worked out cooperatively by a program participant together with his/her mentoring committee and the Enrichment Core leadership. Besides individual mentoring, we will organize 1) expert workshops both on basic skills, such as grant writing and publication preparation, and cutting edge approaches in neuroscience, and 2) lectures, seminars, and career orientation sessions. Although these events, in part, will be targeted to train a small number of participants, they will also include sessions available to the broader neuroscience community as well as students, and thus will serve the neuroscience community of the Island. The details of our Enrichment Program are presented in the Enrichment Core section.

|The voltage available from a wall outlet is a poorly regulated AC ranged worldwide from 90V to 240V, while most electronic circuits require a well stabilized low-voltage DC. That's why all electronic equipment needs some form of power conversion.
|A PC power supply unit (PSU) is an internal device that converts an input AC voltage to a set of regulated DC voltages needed by personal computer. In the process it also provides primary to secondary safety isolation. Since the introduction of IBM PC/XT, there have been about a dozen different PC types. They differ by their structure, form factors, connectors and volt/amp ratings. The output rating of a modern computer PSU ranges anywhere from 185 W to several kilowatt. The units over 400W are used mainly for servers, industrial PCs and to supply the desktops with high-end video applications.
Power supplies for computers utilize switching mode technology (read more about SMPS). Modern units usually include a PFC front end followed by half-bridge or forward converter (see topologies). Most of today's models meet ENERGY STAR® requirements. In the past it just meant they consumed <10% of rated power in standby mode. However, in an active mode the efficiency of old cheap models used to be 60-70%.
An incentive program called 80 PLUS® required PC and server power supplies to demonstrate efficiency >80% at 20% to 100% of rated load with the power factor >0.9. Later on they've added Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum labels for higher levels of efficiency (up to 92%) with PF up to 0.95. The updated ENERGY STAR Desktop Computer Specification Version 5.0 sets similar requirements for internal PSU. In spite of the new regulations, PC PSUs remain inexpensive: you can buy a standard off-the-shelf model for about $0.10/watt. When buying a replacement unit be sure to match not only its form-factor and net wattage, but individual current ratings of all outputs.
Troubleshooting. The first thing to check if your computer stopped working is its power supply. The main causes of PSU failure are overheating, voltage surges in the input line, and dried out electrolytic capacitors. All this may result in a catastrophic failure of one or more transistors or rectifiers. This in turn usually opens the input fuse (see this tutorial for block diagram and theory of operation). To check your unit, first of all you need to unplug input power cord and wait 5 minutes to let all capacitors discharge before removing your PC cover. Then unplug all the cables coming out of the PSU. To enable a stand-alone PSU, you need to ground PS_ON# pin (see connection diagram to the left for the test setup). In an ATX-2-compliant model it means shorting out pins 15 and 16 on the 24-pin connector. You can do it by using a small piece of a copper wire. In an older 20-pin unit you need to short out pins 13 and 14. Note that some manufacturers, such as Apple, HP and Dell used proprietary non-standard connector sizes and pinouts: see more info here. After enabling the unit you can turn on the input power and check output voltages one at a time. To measure any voltage connect a voltmeter between a respective pin and any common. You can use an off the shelf tester to simplify this process. If you should decide to open up a PSU, always unplug it first and then wait at least five minutes to let all capacitors discharge. You should not do a troubleshooting unless you have a proper electronics training and know how to work with high voltage circuits.

Huntsman expects to pick up momentum in New Hampshire
CONCORD, N.H. – Former Utah governor Jon Huntsman has held more than 170 events in New Hampshire but so far has been denied a seat at the top of the polls here. On Monday, however, he told a group of volunteers the campaign would defy expectations.
"We are going to wake up Wednesday morning, and we are going to see that there is a different political reality out here, and all the conventional wisdom we've been hearing about will be upended because that's what we do here in New Hampshire!" Huntsman said.
Huntsman isn't there yet, according to the latest poll by Suffolk University. As of Sunday, the Suffolk poll shows Huntsman in third place behind former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas.
STORY: Romney 'fire' comments put him on defense
STORY: Las Vegas high roller banks on Gingrich
PHOTOS: GOP candidates in New Hampshire
Huntsman had the backing of 13% of those polled, compared with 33% for Romney and 20% for Paul. But Huntsman has risen from 10% a week ago, while Romney had dropped from 43%.
In the past week, Huntsman has stepped up his attacks on Romney, including some barbed comments during a Sunday morning debate, and at several campaign stops Monday.
In Concord, Huntsman contrasted himself with Romney, who said Monday that he likes "being able to fire people who provide services to me."
"Gov. Romney enjoys firing people; I enjoy creating jobs," Huntsman said.
The Romney campaign later clarified the remarks in a news release that said Romney was talking about firing insurance companies, not people, if someone does not like their service.
According to comments from voters at recent Huntsman events, much of his momentum is coming from independent and Democratic voters eligible to vote in today's primary.
Ruth Curran, 72, a retired nurse from Henniker, N.H., said that she and her husband support President Obama but that they liked Huntsman the most of any of the GOP candidates.
"I'm a Democrat and I'm voting for you," Sherry Thomas, a hospice chaplain from Warner, N.H., declared upon seeing Huntsman inside Mary's Bakery and Cafe in Henniker.
Thomas is "thrilled" by Huntsman's recent momentum. "I've had his signs on my street for weeks now."
Barbara Smith, a freelance writer from Nashua, N.H., said she supports Obama but is weighing voting for Huntsman in the primary.
"The conventional wisdom here is that he didn't position himself far enough to the right for the primaries," Smith, 58, said. "He's too rational and polite."
It's that appeal to Democrats and Huntsman's service as Obama's ambassador to China that put off some Republicans.
His record might not be conservative enough for Republican voters, said Timothy Meads, a Nashua high school student who waited to hear former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum speak Saturday.
"I think a lot of people, even though he has a conservative record, a lot of people look at him as trying to appease the independents or the liberals a little bit too much," he said.
Huntsman told USA TODAY in an interview that he was pleased at his recent rise.
"We started at zero. We were the margin-of-error candidate," he said. "You can't move the needle in this state unless you get around and shake hands and have town hall meetings and do it the old-fashioned way."

Dynamics Duo: Composition with Third-Party Web Services
Download this episode
In this episode we talk about a variety of topics including using Silverlight for UI, composing using 3rd party web services and storing complex information in Dynamics CRM.
We spend most of our time on the flight booking page. This page was built using Silverlight to demonstrate some of the simple experiences that can be designed. In this case the UI was built in Expression Blend. Designers and developers work together closely on projects. In fact, developers and designers work on the exact same project files but stay in their own environments; Developers stay in Visual Studio, Designers stay in Expression. We'll talk a lot more time about Silverlight in the final episode of this series tomorrow.
In our example we use a third party web service run by ezGDS to present the conference attendee with a list of flight options. ezGDS takes care behind the scenes to retrieve that flight fare information from various global distribution systems including Amadeus, Worldspan, Sabre and others. The attendee sees none of that complexity since we've built all of that directly into our system. Even though the information coming back can be very complex, including ticket information and various inbound and outbound flight segments, Dynamics CRM easily handles storing this information in a custom entity.
This episode is part of a 5-part series. In this series we've tried to explain how you can combine the Microsoft Web Platform with Dynamics CRM to quickly build and deploy self-service solutions. The full set of videos include:
- Dynamics Duo Rides Again
- Dynamics Duo: Everybody needs an Identity
- Dynamics Duo: Wide World Importers Code
- Dynamics Duo: Composition with Third-Party Web Services (this video)
- Dynamics Duo: Silverlight and Jazz Hands
Both Girish and I enjoyed recording this series. We hope you enjoyed them as well. If you have comments or suggestions for other topics, feel free to add comments below or email Girish or me (Ben) directly.

Anesthesia can't stop Deb Margolin from monologuing
During a public demonstration in 1846, dentist William Morton administered ether to a patient before an operation. The patient announced that he felt nothing, rendering ether a great improvement on previous methods such as downing slugs of whiskey or biting on a stick. Of his invention, Morton remarked, "The state should, I think, be called 'anesthesia.' This signifies insensibility." Or it ought to. Before a recent operation, the performance artist Deb Margolin received anesthesia, but it hardly rendered her insensible! Margolin's doctor later informs her that after the needle went in, Margolin talked for 12 minutes straight. She "wouldn't shut up." When the doctor told her, "You won't remember any of this," she responded defiantly, "O yes I will. I will remember the spirit and texture of this conversation."
But Margolin does not remember. (Her only clue: The doctor mentions that "George Bush came up.") In O Yes I Will at Dixon Place, Margolin attempts to re-create those lost minutes. After a brief introduction, she offers four distinct versions of what she said while semiconscious. Clad in a black-satin nightie, she capers around the stage as her mind ping-pongs from childhood memories to Buddhist koans to complaints about New Jersey. Though some sections prove more entertaining than others, Margolin neatly portrays the giddiness one might feel when the superego is told to take a hikeand the fear when it returns. Happily, Margolin is not a fearful performer. In this short, somewhat slight piece, she enjoys imagining what she might have revealed, whom she might have propositioned or insulted. Even when she's "out of it," Margolin is delightfully into it.

Several basketball champions will be crowned this weekend as the playoff season comes to a head (Click here for a full glimpse of the boys' and girls' brackets to date).
No. 2 Bullis, winners of 17 consecutive IAC games dating back to 2012, will battle for its third straight conference tournament title.
No. 16 Maret, which clinched its second straight MAC regular-season title last week, looks to repeat as outright conference champs.
The DCIAA tournament will continue, highlighted by Saturday's semifinal rubber match between No. 17 Theodore Roosevelt and two-time defending champ Coolidge.
And several Virginia teams will vie for their conference titles before entering region play next week.
With four Post Top 20 teams and an overflow of Division I talent taking to the court this weekend, many eyes and plenty of college coaches will be focused on the WCAC tournament. With McNamara and St. Mary's Ryken prevailing in Thursday's play-in games, here's a glimpse at the four quarterfinal contests taking place on Saturday at Gallaudet:
#4 Paul VI vs. #5 Gonzaga (1 p.m.)
The preseason favorite Panthers enter the tournament having lost two of their last five games, while Gonzaga has gained steam and gotten healthy after a slow start, winning four of its last five contests. Still, the depth and talent of Paul VI, led by juniors Marcus Derrickson, Joshua Reaves and Kevin Dorsey, makes it a strong contender to win its second conference title in the last three years. A slow start doomed Gonzaga in both of its 20-point losses to Paul VI during the regular season, and with juniors Bryant Crawford and Sam Miller back healthy, the Eagles possess a bit more firepower. But their work will still be cut out for them, as the Panthers are capable of scoring in bunches and defend effectively with their wealth of versatile players.
#1 St. John's vs. # 8 McNamara (2:45 p.m.)
After winning 24 straight games, the Cadets dropped Wednesday's regular-season finale to red-hot DeMatha on the road. Though no team basks in defeat, the loss may prove as a good wake-up call for St. John's as it enters the tournament gauntlet. With all five starters signed to play Division I basketball, the Cadets have given opponents fits with a small-ball approach that helps them spread the floor and push the tempo. On Saturday, their defensive focus will be on McNamara guard Jamir Moultrie. The freshman phenom is the WCAC's second-leading scorer at 16.1 points per game and is one of three players averaging double figures for the Mustangs.
#2 DeMatha vs. # 7 St. Mary's Ryken (4:30 p.m.)
DeMatha enters as the conference's hottest team, having knocked off No. 1 St. John's, No. 4 O'Connell and No. 5 Paul VI in the past week. Sophomore forward Joe Hampton has played well of late, using his inside-outside ability. The Stags have also received a boost from freshman D.J. Harvey, who scored the game-winner against Paul VI and serves as a sound utility complement to senior guard Corey Henson. With Hampton and Florida State football recruit Brock Ruble clogging the paint, the Stags boast size that few other teams have, positioning them to make a run at their 40th overall WCAC crown. To get there, they must hold off an upstart Ryken team that lost by a combined nine points in its two regular-season meetings. The Knights have a strong core in point guard Jarin Hilson and versatile scorers Donte Etheridge and Deividas Zemgulis. The defense of Jamaal Satisfied will also be critical in slowing DeMatha's many weapons.
#3 O'Connell vs. #6 Bishop Ireton (6:15 p.m.)
After shocking the area last year by becoming the first No. 8 seed to knock off a top seed, Bishop Ireton will look to perform a similar feat against an O'Connell team that features arguably the area's top player in Melo Trimble. The Maryland recruit has elevated his game this season, adding sound passing and rebounding ability to his already strong scoring prowess. The Knights have had four days to rest after enduring one of the area's toughest schedules and will need every bit of it against upstart Bishop Ireton. The Cardinals were just a few plays away from upsetting each of the conference's top seeds this season, and with Daniel Noe, Patrick Moseh and Jaime Senft forming a strong senior core, they remain a dangerous threat in the always-entertaining WCAC tournament.

-Following a banner junior season, O'Connell senior Melo Trimble has pushed his game to new heights by polishing his point guard skills in preparation for his role with the Maryland Terrapins next season.
-Gwynn Park's Tashina Cardwell scrapped her way to 18 points in the Yellow Jackets' win against rival Largo during Thursday's girls' basketball action.
Virginia Conference 5 girls' and boys' basketball championships at Chantilly, 6 and 8 p.m.
Four traditional Concorde District teams will vie for the first Conference 5 title on Friday night. In the girls' matchup, No. 14 Centreville will take on No. 19 Oakton while No. 13 Herndon battles Robinson in the boys' tilt. Both games will be rubber matches after the teams split their two regular-season meetings.

President Obama did two things in his Wednesday address at George Washington University that he has been loath to do throughout his presidency. He spoke like a progressive partisan. And he spoke of that great unmentionable in centrist Democratic policies — the injuries of class. Among the inspired zingers: "They [the Republicans] want to give […]Read More..
My fellow Americans, I ran for president to do two things — to change the tone of bitter partisanship in Washington, and to accomplish constructive economic change so that more Americans can share the blessings of prosperity. I need to speak candidly to you tonight. Despite my best efforts, I find that I cannot do […]Read More..
In the sorting out of the wreckage after Japan's earthquake and tsunami, many Americans have begun paying more attention to a phrase they had barely known — "supply chains." American manufacturing companies no longer make most of the parts that they use in production. Rather, both U.S. companies and foreign ones that produce for the […]Read More..
One of the most startling exit-poll results to emerge from the 2010 midterm elections was the finding that the 35 percent of voters who (correctly) blamed the economic collapse on Wall Street actually voted Republican by a margin of 56-42 percent. As Ruy Teixeira and John Halpin wrote in a sifting of the exit polls, […]Read More..
How lunatic-fringe do the House Republicans have to be on budget cuts before President Obama starts calling them out on their plans? Evidently, they still have a ways to go, because the administration has been mostly silent on the sheer perversity of the Republican cuts. The cuts proposed in the House budget would devastate spending […]Read More..
My friend, the late Mike Harrington, used to describe his politics as "on the left wing of the possible." It's a fine aspiration. But if anything, economic problems have become more politically intractable since Mike died in 1989. Scanning the various economic ills afflicting our Republic and its citizens, it's evident that nearly all of […]Read More..
As events in Egypt showed, you never know what will set off mass protest. Here at home, over-reaching by a novice Republican governor of Wisconsin has finally triggered the protest marches that have been eerily missing during the more than three years of an economic crisis that has savaged the middle and bottom and rewarded […]Read More..
How wonderful that an obscure, 83-year-old American disciple of Gandhi helped inspire and facilitate the Egyptian revolution. But the mainstream media don't quite know what to make of Gene Sharp, the man whose theories of non-violence and practical training manuals have helped inspire and train pro-democracy activists from Albania to Zimbabwe. The New York Times […]Read More..
Gingerly driving home from northern New Jersey to Boston in a last minute rented car, on a snowy day when the airlines were unreliable and Amtrak was vulnerable to freezing brakes, I crossed over the George Washington Bridge (completed 1931). It was the longest suspension bridge in the world until the completion of the Golden […]Read More..
Once again, the job numbers are dismal. In January, the U.S. economy created just 36,000 domestic jobs, far below the roughly 145,000 that economists had forecast. The unemployment rate fell, to 9 percent, but only because more and more discouraged workers are giving up and leaving the workforce. The U.S. still has a jobs gap […]Read More..

A Briton was among those who died in a plane crash in Nepal today, the Foreign Office (FO) said.
The Briton, who is yet to be named, was among 14 people on a German-built Dornier plane which went down in heavy rain near a village about 50 miles south of the Nepal capital Katmandu.
There were no survivors in the accident which happened when the aircraft, operated by Nepalese carrier Agni Air, was trying to return to Katmandu.
A witness reported that the aircraft had broken into several pieces on impact.
An FO spokeswoman said today: "It is with great regret that we can confirm that a British national was killed in this morning's air accident in Nepal.
"The next of kin have been notified and we are providing consular assistance to them. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims of this tragic accident. We continue to be in close touch with the Nepalese authorities."
The plane was carrying 11 passengers and three crew. Nepal's civil aviation authority said that as well as the Briton, there were four Americans and one Japanese aboard, while the remaining passengers and crew were Nepalese.
Attempts to reach the crash site were being hampered by the fact that the area has no roads and is accessible only by foot, with the route from the nearest town being blocked by a river flooded by monsoon rainfall.

Agnès Varda's career began by the seaside in a small fisher port near
Sète and temporarily ended in 2009 with "Les Plages D'Agnès" (Agnès'
Beaches). Her debut was a commercial fiasco, only one theater in Paris
showed it when it was released (Jean Louis Chéret, Studio-Parnasse).
The part of the man was first intended for George Wilson but he became ill and Philippe Noiret replaced him. This actor didn't like his performance, he thought he was too young (26) and the choice of Wilson was relevant (34). He said he was absent and the character eluded him. The critics thrashed him.
Hailed as the first movie of the Nouvelle Vague, the movie owes at least as much to Italian Neo-realism (Rossellini's "Viaggio In Italia" which depicted a couple's trip whose marriage was on the rocks and Visconti's "La Terra Trema" which dealt with the plight of the fishermen in a small village).
What is definitely "Nouvelle Vague" is the shoestring budget (four times less than "Breathless") and the literary, intellectual, "overwritten" dialogs which seem today almost unbearable; this bourgeois couple complaining about their heartaches, contemplating their navels, walks through the crowd as if the inhabitants of the village didn't exist. They don't relate to them: the only move the man makes is to give an ice-cream to a child. That's not much for someone who spent his whole childhood in the place. Filming on location wasn't the Nouvelle Vague's invention as too many naive people still believe today; for the record "l'Hirondelle Et La Mésange" was filmed entirely on location in...1928.
The depiction of the village wanders drastically from the precepts of the Nouvelle Vague busy being born but recalls the two Italian works mentioned above. We feel that Varda cares for them even if her two principals don't. She cares for their problems with the food hygiene people or with the coastguards'. She feels for Raphaël the young man to be jailed for five days as the gendarmes do for him. We learn he is an Inscrit Maritime (that was the name of the conscripts who lived on the seaside) and he is to do his military service: even if Varda doesn't mention it, we do know he'll have to fight in a dirty war (the Algeria war), like Antoine in "Cleo De 5 à 7".
I don't think like the precedent user that Varda's debut was her best. Actually "Cléo..." is much better. There are similarities between the two works: both Cléo and the couple move in a world they can't relate to. But the key to the 1961 effort is the fact that Cléo opens up and thanks to a soldier soon returning to fight becomes aware that people exist outside her petty world. When she takes her glasses off, what a symbol! But for the man and the woman of "La Pointe Courte" (The Short Headland) -they are only referred through this, bearing no names- they will stay with their inflated egos, their selfishness.
"They are always talking, they mustn't be happy" says a fisher's wife.
The short headland was a blind alley.

Mayor Toms helps business by signing books | News
Warner Robins Mayor Randy Toms spent the day helping a business, after the store's owner says construction along Commercial Circle put a damper on her sales.
Toms signed copies of his book "Just a Fireman" at The Chic Boutique, Saturday.
Proceeds from the book signing will go to the store.
Owner Gena Deboe says her store suffered a 60 percent decline in sales, while construction took place in the area last December.
Deboe says the book signing brought a crowd of shoppers to Commercial Circle.
Toms says he enjoyed the book signing and meeting people.
"That's what it's all about, getting out here and helping people and doing a good thing, and it's been fun," said Toms.
Deboe said, " It's about to be a new circle with the new sidewalks. People are discovering us again. They're coming back out, and this is exactly what we needed to really give us a shot in the arm and get this area back."
Deboe says they sold over 30 books during the signing.

Britain's House of Commons gave its final approval Wednesday to a bill authorizing the government to start exit talks with the European Union, despite fears by opposition lawmakers that the U.K. is setting out on the rocky path to Brexit with a sketchy roadmap.
As the votes were being tallied, a few pro-EU legislators whistled Beethoven's "Ode to Joy," the bloc's anthem. But the decisive 494-122 result was another big step on Britain's road to the EU exit door.
The bill now goes to the House of Lords, which has the power to delay — but not to derail — the legislation; it should become law within weeks.
Lawmakers had backed the bill by a 498-114 margin...
