Seventeen participants got in on the fun of reviewing the Larfleeze Christmas Special. See what they had to say!
The Review Group is a collection of posters who get together and review a new comic each week. Our threads can be found in The Outhouse's News Stand forum and is open for anyone and everyone to participate.
For the week of December 22nd, the Review Group's pick was decided by a poll of the masses. At the end of the day, Green Lantern: Larfleeze Christmas Special #1 was chosen as the pick. A Green Lantern book always generates controversy and this book did not fail to disappoint. Some posters enjoyed the book as a fun, lighthearted pick, while others were disappointed in its childish tone and Hal Jordan's sanctomonious nonsense. Seventeen posters participated, making it the most reviewed book since Nemesis #3. The average score was 5.17, well below the line of respectability and ranking it in the midst of New Avengers #3 and Astonishing X-Men #26. Without further ado, here's the reviews!
Review by Dragavon
I'm not a member of the Review Group anymore, generally due to lack of funds. But I have to add a review here.
I am absolutely not sure what to rate this book. The amazing artwork by Brett Booth makes we want to give it a 9. Larfleeze himself in 3/4 of the book is interesting and in character, so that deserves a high score. But the appearance of Hal "Bland" Jordan and his hypocritical moralizing about the "spirit of Christmas" makes me want to give this title a 0 and then write an angry letter to Geoff Johns that the target of these comics are not four year old mentally handicapped kids who are incapable of understanding something unless it is explicitly told to them.
I'm going to rate this 2.5
Review by Victorious Squid
A demented orange warthog with questionable taste in cookies is first told Santa isn't real, then is taught the true meaning of Christmas by the ever-sanctimonious Hal Jordan by first forcing him to dig up some trash outside to dump onto orphans then abandoning him to be alone on Christmas.
Maze: -1
Orange-flavoured cookies (note spelling, Punchy): -1
Hal Jordan's dumb-assed self: -1
Existential dread of dying alone: -1
White chocolate: -5
Review by Doombug
I was conflicted checking this out, I love Larfleeze, I love the Green lantern books but most of the time it seems the big two just throw their holiday specials together. But boy was I surprised what I found inside this 30 some odd page comic.
Glom is my third favorite new addition to the GL mythos so I loved seeing him not only as heavily as he was in that main story but how much he was used in that second story. He's this weird little energy construct who managed to have as much staying power as Saint Walker and Dex-starr, at least in my mind.
The story follows Larfleeze as he does his best to find out why Santa has refused to give him the things on his list and Hal Jordan comes along to be basically the ghost of christmas past on his shoulder. I enjoyed seeing a different side to our selfish lead character, doing his best to take Jordan's advice and that last page of the lead story is pretty damn heartbreaking. Also it doesn't hurt to discuss something amusing that Hal finds on Larfleeze's list and his logic behind wanting it.
My favorite material came from the very Tiny Titans back up story which had Art and Franco as usual knocking it out of the park. From Sinestro doing his best to scare Glom to visiting the Saphires it was just a cute story that manages to be very funny.
All in all, this is a holiday special done right and I personally enjoyed reading it!
Verdict: 9
Review by Always Right
This was literally one of the worst comics I've ever read.
First of all, why is their a maze and a little Larfleeze ornament involved? Why? It's quite clearly not a book aimed at children, so why add these childlike pages? Do people actually think it's worth it to include a maze?
I think this whole thing sums up Geoff Johns writing.
Boring uninteresting one dimensional character, spelling everything out in a completely boring way, and no humour at all "By Sinestro's whiskers!" is that supposed to be funny.
The last page was laughably bad. Larfleeze amends his list to include the phrase "my family" and goes to bed sad. Is that actually supposed to be emotional? It's so clichéd and is an embarrassing last scene for an embarrassing last book.
1 out of 10.
Review by Eli Katz
I didn't expect much from this book. In fact, it would be moronic to expect much from any holiday-themed comic. But even with incredibly low expectations, I still managed to feel underwhelmed by LARFLEEZE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL. I guess the throwaway, Scrooge-like story, coupled with the maze and tear-away pages and the cookie recipes, did nothing for me. Maybe the biggest problem with the SPECIAL is that Larfleeze is an uninteresting single-dimensional character, incapable of carrying a book on his own. Really, this orange dude believes in and is pissed off at Santa, and he's going to melt down the arctic if he can't find Santa's house? If Hal Jordon had come in at this point and killed off Larfleeze, thus preventing the creation of other crappy Larfleeze stories, I would be celebrating this book. Too bad that doesn't happen. Too bad I wasted my life reading and commenting on this book.
Review by Stephen Day
Larfleeze is a one note character, but then again, he's supposed to be. In his own way he works on the level he's supposed to work on and this issue is basically the same.
I found Larfleeze waking up and investigating where Santa Claus and his presents were as well as his attack on the parade and shopping mall to be amusing. However Hal Jordan's Christmas lesson wasn't as interesting, it wasn't anything I haven't heard from I don't know how many Christmas specials over the years. Those I could watch for free on TV and they don't cost me four dollars.
I liked half of the story this issue, but didn't care for the other half. When it was focused on Larfleeze it worked, but when the focus shifted to Jordan, it fell apart for me. The problem is, the way the story was set up, the Jordan focused portions were supposed to be the more important of the two.
I'll give it a 4 out of 10 I guess.
Review by AMS
I picked this up.
Overall I thought it was fun. This is the first time I have read anything with this Larzfleeze character, but it was pretty easy to figure out what he was all about. He reminds me a lot like Smeagal in Lord of the Rings.
Anyways the basic premise was cute, if a little a thin. The revelation? that Larzfleeze misses his family was a nice touch at the end. The only thing I can say though, is that since this was such a thin premise it should have been a part of a christmas anthology.
I give it a 3 out of 5
Review by Fieldy snuts
On paper this is a really good comic: Christmas theme, Larfleeze in a comedy relief role hunting "imposter" Santa's while looking for the real one was amusing (despite just being the same old jokes we've come to expect from him all these times) for not giving him any presents. Oh and along with a non-religious meaning of Christmas message to avoid offending all the religious denominations.
It'd have made the perfect gift for my nephew as a Christmas special would've intended save for one thing: Hal Jordan saying there's no Santa. What the hell kind of a Christmas special is it supposed to be then?
Kind of a self-defeating all-ages Christmas special considering that one thing. And that's a BIG issue considering the title of this book. It'd have been an automatic fail on my scoring if this book hadnt put a smile on my face with everything else in it.
Art is nice, but nothing special. The backup story with Glom was cool

Review by God-Man
Eh, this was alright. i did enjoy the extra features like the recipe and the two page backup by the Tiny Titans creative team. To borrow a phrase from a recent AV Club review, it was "slight and entertaining."
Review by Guitarsmashley
This book was ok and really the books shining moment is the art. Where the hell has brett booth been since 90's image? I really don't have any exposure to larfleeze or even understand what he is...Is he horse? some weird monkey spider horse thing? I don't know. The story was pretty generic and something that I pretty much saw in every family guy christmas special and it wasn't very special. The art doesn't make up for a total lack luster story but the cookie recipe sounds really good and will definitely consider messing with it...probably a dark chocolate frosting with the orangish cookie.
Review by GHERU
This book was exactly what a Christmas Special is supposed to be. Fun, topical, loosely connected to current continuity (by that I mean that it recognizes what is going on but no one needs to read it to move forward) and festive. The story of Larfleeze hunting down Santa, mixing in the maze, cookie recipes, and ornament took this book (from a writing standpoint) to a 10/10
then Hal Jordan showed up...
I'm sorry, his over the top holier than thou attitude was not used as an educational tool but rather a shovel to beat the reader over the head. Thankfully the book's final pages brought the story back to the correct focus, Larfleeze, and showed that he had, at least, a glimmer of a soul.
All-in-all, this book started great, had an annoying middle, and ended the way any Christmas Special would. I am not the biggest fan of the art - it didn't take away from the story, it just didn't add to it either
Story - 8/10
Art - 5/10
Fun Quotient - 9/10
total (rounding up so as to have a whole number) 8/10
Review by Ameobas
I knew the book was going to be fun when it was first solicited. I wasn't disappointed... well, maybe a little.
I overhyped the book to myself. I did the same thing when Ambush Bug returned a year back or so. I expected a non-stop laugh riot like the original Bug minis or the Impossible Man (circa '76-'84) and this book wasn't it.
Fun yes, but I feel an opportunity was missed to go madcap with Larfleeze. The thought of a mega-powerful character just now learning that Santa doesn't exist has so many possibilities that limiting it to just a 'search' for him throughout most of the book took away from my initial experience.
Upon a reread, with preconceptions behind me, it read very well (better even because I knew it wasn't that it wasn't greed that drove him on his hunt, it was desperation).
The art was soso and I've yet to make the cookies.
Story - 9

Review by Mammon, Fool Breaker (New Member!!)
Cover- With an AK-47 in his left, and a bottle of Champagne in his right, the cover already had my hopes pretty high for the comic being awesome. (7/10)
Story- The story opened very well with Larfleeze's excitment for his expected christmas gifts, and I truly laughed out loud when he discovers no presents and proclaims "WE'VE BEEN ROBBED! THE PRESENTS ARE GONE!"
-Larfleeze's Orange Lantern Cookies- <---- Awesome, I will be making these at some point.
Story Cont.- Hal Jordan's dialogue is pretty blunt, none of his arrogence shows through. But Larfleeze's reacts in a light-hearted and funny manner and the issue ends on a note of real sadness. I found that both interesting and unexpected. (7/10)
Art- In a word, consistant, I liked it, but it was neither awful nor breathtaking. A bonus point for a truly epic Larfleeze christmas sleigh. (6/10)
Overall- I enjoyed the issue, the humor was pretty darn good, and for it being my first Christmas Special, i was not dissapointed in the slightest. (7/10)
Final Score- (6.75/10)
*as this is my first review, It will be my basis to compare future comics to.*
Review by Starlord
You would have to be a big time Scrooge not to have enjoyed this. The ending alone was worth the price of admission and reminds those of us who have been investing our time in all these new Rainbow Characters that there is a soul crushing yearning that drives Larfleeze at all times. Johns did a fine job here but as enjoyable as it was, I don't see a reason they had to jack this up another dollar.
The art should have put it in a dollar bin unfortunately. Really was off on so many levels. It even made the coloring and inks look horrible.
I wouldn't recommend this for many people, but if you are a fan of the most recent Green Lantern Mythos, this is a nice treat.
Story: 8

My Score: 5.70
Review by Fourthman
The Larfleeze Christmas Special starts out with everything right. Larfleeze should dig some Christmas and he should be angry when it goes awry. Having him chase shopping mall Santas is icing on the cake.
However, once a little boy tells the Orange Lantern where to find Santa it all goes horribly wrong. First of all, there are the people. Booth is perfect for drawing aliens cause as you can see when Hal flies up with thighs as big as his torso, you know that Brett comes from the Liefeld school of art. Just to add insult to injury, he is also plagued with the inability to draw faces much like David Finch or Michael Turner.
To make matters worse, Hal Jordon shows up. And boy is he preachy, which is cool Sunday morning when it is about the reason for the season, but in my comic book? No thank you, especially when it is as wrong as anything else, Santa is for fun? Really? No, dumbass, Santa is a symbol of the spirit, of giving, of unconditionalism and in the end of hard work... not fun! There is nothing fun about smelly ass reindeer and sleigh rides in the middle of the night (unless there is hey and a girl involved)... there is nothing fun about jumping down chimneys, there is nothing fun about be forced into obesity from milk and cookies at every house in the entire world, expected to be eaten by you! It's not fun. And then, when his long ass impossibly loaded peak time is over... he gets to start making shit for next year... no thanks assholes.
And according to Scandanavian legend, he was an orphan passed from foster home to foster home! Ask Victorian Squid what feels like to not be wanted! Damn you Hal Jordan! Damn you for making Christmas awful, you suck. I triple dog dare you to lick a flag pole!
(The Red Lantern guy giving the Orange construct minion a fruit cake makes up for a lot of bad in the main story!) Yup team Tiny Titans makes up for a lot.
Orange lantern cookies are fairly easy to make. They are right tasty too. I can understand using the white chocolate as opposed to the normal semi-sweet chip – it is toned down a bit and works better with the orange flavored icing as a result. There are only a couple of criticisms I have. #1. There is not any kind of reference giving to how you are supposed to go about icing a cookie and not being a baker by trade I have never done it. So as you can see in the pics below, they are kind of crazy looking. #2. If you are gonna show them with white icing and orange latern symbols... don't make a recipe for pale orange icing – show me how to fucking pipe on the cheap DC!

Review by John Snow
Fuck Hal Jordan and his sanctimonious 'there is no Santa Claus' bullshit. Larfleeze isn't funny and the art was bad 90s Image retread. You'd have to add marijuana to that cookie recipe to convince anyone in their right mind that this was worth an illegal download.
Overall: 1.5
Review by Sgt. Marvel
Larfleeze is clearly one of the most influential characters of the last decade due to his ability to generate such lively discourse among fans. His Christmas Special is just another example of that. Coming into a Christmas Special, you expect a certain type of story coming into it and Larfleeze certainly delivers. Was there opportunity to do more with the special? Sure, but you're not going to get a groundbreaking comic out of a holiday special. Larfleeze Christmas Special delivers exactly what it promises a decent Christmas Special featuring Larfleeze. With the bonus of entertaining tidbits like the maze and cookie recipe.
Review by Jude Terror
I certainly wasn't expecting much from this comic, so I can't really say I'm disappointed. Larfleeze is an annoying character, created in an attempt to be funny but failing because the joke isn't original and demeans the rest of the DC Universe. I didn't need to read this comic to know exactly how it would go, but I did anyway, which gave me the added displeasure of being preached to about global warming while reading an insipid twelfth generation He-Man Christmas special rip-off. The sappy ending was both cheesy and out of character. The cookies look disgusting, by the way.
Score: 0 out of 10
Review by BlueStreak
When reading this book, it reminded me shockingly of Review Group. Anyone who takes the content of the book (or our kvetching at each other) seriously is totally missing the point. This book (and Review Group bitching 95% of the time) is supposed to be lighthearted. My only complaint was the price tag.
That's all of them, folks! Join us this week for Action Comics #896 or next week for Weird Worlds #1!

Senators brace for banged-up Penguins (Might 17, 2017)
OTTAWA The personal injury continue to keep piling up for the Pittsburgh Penguins, turning their defensive corps into a black and blue line. The safeguarding Stanley Cup champions shed the 3rd of their final 3 defensemen every time Justin Schultz connected Kris Letang and Trevor Daley upon the sidelines with a shoulder hurt in just Match 2 of the Jap Meeting Past in opposition to the Ottawa Senators. Mark Streit, 39, is Schultzs predicted substitute for Recreation 3 at Canadian Tire Center upon Wednesday. The excellent-of-7 collection is tied 1-1. Have been lucky towards include the element that we incorporate, Penguins prepare Mike Sullivan mentioned Tuesday within Pittsburgh. Marks a man that incorporates priceless working experience. Hes a definitely savvy participant. I believe that he could possibly support us upon our electrical power participate in. He might assist us order out of our close zone. Hes a correct beneficial puck mover. I believe that hes bought very good puck abilities. Hence, if Marks the person we shift toward, we understand he can commence in direction of assistance us earn online games. The Penguins will be minus winger Bryan Rust, who as well experienced an higher-overall body harm inside of Mondays 1-0 victory. Sullivan declared Wednesday early morning that Schultz, Rust and Patric Hornqvist, who disregarded Video game 2, have been dominated out for Video game 3. The Senators, in the meantime https://www.senatorsshirts.com/Nick_Paul_Shirt-24, are in excess of towards acquire some hurt avid gamers back again as train Gentleman Boucher claimed winger Viktor Stalberg and complicated-hitting defenseman Mark Borowiecki are turning into nearer and may possibly be coming in just at any second. Ottawa wants in the direction of deliver a lot more offense once failing in the direction of sign up a shot upon function for a extend of virtually 19 minutes that begun late within the minute interval. I feel we had been sitting down again a minimal as well substantially, winger Tom Pyatt reported. Normally, we which includes our defensive activity, thats our electricity. Had been moving in the direction of adhere towards that. Nevertheless at the similar period, we contain toward come across a route towards crank out added season within their zone and buy some even more pucks in direction of the internet. Since I feel we have been trapped at 16 photos for a very long season within the instant 50 % of the activity https://www.senatorsshirts.com/Andreas_Englund_Shirt-6. The Penguins had been very pleased of the direction they ultimately cracked in the course of Ottawas insurance plan toward ranking Mondays basically function within the 3rd period of time. It was mounted up by way of Evgeni Malkin and scored through Phil Kessel, 2 gamers who were being found feeding on a heated conversation upon the bench previous in just the night time Ottawa Senators Shop. Ended up psychological men, Malkin claimed. Once in a while were being not joyful. Which include Im open up and he does not move towards me, or he passes at the time Im not open up. Once in a while its not such as by yourself need to have, nevertheless by yourself want toward realize and dont reduce notice. Senators winger Mike Hoffman, who fanned upon a few prospects with goaltender Craig Anderson upon the bench for an more attacker Monday, expressed self-confidence his employees will rediscover its contact. I imagine our offense is moving towards appear, Hoffman explained. Were being relocating back again property, and its relocating in direction of be a entertaining year. The creating is moving towards be roaring.

Inrush currents associated with motor starting and transformer energizing can cause interaction problems with other loads in a facility or on the power system, particularly sags that trip loads. Protection devices can misinterpret these events as fault currents, if the devices are not properly coordinated. Coupled with the tendency of other constant power devices to increase current to make up for the reduced voltage, the inrush current may cause protection devices to trip. Energizing a transformer has the additional issue of harmonics in the inrush current, which can excite system resonances and cause dynamic overvoltages.
Evaluating these concerns requires measurement equipment that can capture the waveforms over the full duration of an event, such as the starting of a motor or the energizing of a transformer, which can take a number of seconds. This measurement equipment can include expert systems that look through significant amounts of monitoring data and identify particular events and conditions. It's possible to look for abnormal conditions only after these expert systems characterize the waveforms associated with normal operation of facilities and equipment. Let's take a look at some of these voltage-affecting events and how to deal with them.
Motor inrush characteristics. Motors have the undesirable characteristic of drawing several times their full load current while starting. By flowing through system impedances, this large current will cause voltage sags that dim lights, cause contactors to drop out, and disrupt sensitive equipment. Theses sags also affect the starting itself, as large enough sags will prevent a successful start. Even small and medium horsepower motors can have inrush currents that are six to 10 times the normal steady-state current levels. High-efficiency motors can have even higher inrush currents.
Characterizing inrush currents and their effects requires a monitor capable of capturing the waveforms for a long duration. Figures 1a and 1b show an inrush of current to a motor that resulted in a significant sag lasting more than 1 second.
Ohm's and Kirchoff's Laws can help you analyze what happened. Per Ohm's Law, voltage = current × impedance. Per Kirchoff's Law, the sum of voltages around a closed loop must equal zero. If we assume a 0.5-ohm source impedance and a 10A nominal current on a 480V system, the inrush current can result in a drop of 30V to 50V. Therefore, voltage at the load would sag to 430V, down from the nominal 475V level. This sag occurs because the impedance of the motor initially (when the rotor is stationary) looks much like a short circuit. Once the rotor starts turning, the current decreases and eventually goes to a much lower, steady-state value. However, if a load change causes the motor to come close to stalling or remain in the locked rotor condition, another sag can result for similar reasons.
Transformer inrush characteristics. Transformers also exhibit inrush currents upon initial energizing. Here, the high currents occur to energize the transformer core. The steady-state magnetizing current for a transformer is very low, but the momentary current when it is first energized can be quite high.
The concerns are typically the same as with motor starting, except for one important difference — besides being a high current magnitude, the transformer energizing current is full of harmonics. Both even and odd harmonic components occur when a transformer is energized, and they can excite system resonances, resulting in dynamic overvoltages.
These dynamic voltages can cause surge suppressors to overheat, capacitor fuses to blow, capacitor failures, or misoperation of electronic equipment. Again, monitoring equipment that can characterize the waveforms over the full duration of the event will allow you to see what is going on in the system. Figure 2a shows a typical transformer energizing current waveform. Figure 2b shows the low-order harmonic components in the current.
Solving inrush problems. As previously discussed, the most significant problem associated with inrush currents is the resulting voltage sag. ANSI C50.41-2000, "American National Standard for Polyphase Induction Motors for Power Generation Stations," states that motors must be able to start as long as the voltage is not less than 85% of the rated voltage.
In addition, most utilities limit the allowable voltage variation at the point of common coupling (PCC) caused by a single motor start to about 4%. The voltage variation on the distribution system is determined by the impedance of the distribution system supply in relation to the impedance of the step-down transformer and secondary cabling to the motor.
If the motor starting operation results in a voltage sag that causes tripping of equipment within the facility or at other customer facilities, you can use one of the following methods to reduce the voltage sag.
Keep large motors on a separate supply from the sensitive loads. Following this advice usually prevents problems with other equipment. The PCC will be at the distribution voltage level, where the voltage sag is less severe than at the motor terminals.
Use resistance and reactance starters. These initially insert an impedance in series with the motor. After a time delay, the starter bypasses this impedance. Starting resistors may be bypassed in several steps while starting reactors are bypassed in a single step. This approach requires the motor be able to develop sufficient torque with the added impedance.
Use delta-wye starters. These connect the stator in wye for starting, then after a time delay, reconnect the windings in delta. The wye connection reduces the starting voltage to 57% of the system line-line voltage, which causes the starting torque to fall to 33% of its full start value. The reduced voltage during the initial stage of the starting reduces the inrush current — and the resulting voltage sag.
Use shunt capacitor starters. These devices work by switching in, along with the motor, a large shunt capacitor bank that supplies a large portion of the motor VAR requirements during the start process. The capacitor bank then automatically disconnects once the motor is up to speed (usually based on overvoltage relay).
Use series capacitors on distribution circuits supplying large motors. This will reduce the effective impedance seen by the motor during starting as well as the resulting voltage sag on the motor side of the series capacitor. However, the source side of the series capacitor may still experience a more severe voltage sag.
Change frequency response characteristics. This will counter the potential for system resonance caused by harmonics in transformer inrush currents. You may be able to do this by switching out one or more shunt capacitors prior to energizing the transformer.
Proactive monitoring leads to prevention. Motor starting and transformer energizing operations can be a detriment to facility equipment and the supplying power system.
Characterizing these events requires sampling the voltage and current waveforms over a relatively long duration (seconds), which can be a problem for monitors that record only a few cycles of information for a disturbance. But, there's more to this. The process of turning the raw measurement data into knowledge involves data selection and preparation, information extraction from the selected data, information assimilation, and report presentation.
McGranaghan is vice president of consulting services for EPRI Solutions in Knoxville, Tenn. Kinder is a principal engineer with Dranetz-BMI in Edison, N.J.
Sidebar: Determining Sag Severity During Full-Voltage Starting
The severity of voltage sag during full-voltage starting of a motor is described by the following equation:
VMIN (pu) = ( V(pu) × kVASC) ÷ ( kVALR + kVASC)
where V(pu) is the actual system voltage in per unit of nominal; kVALR is the motor locked rotor kVA; and kVASC is the system short-circuit kVA at the motor terminals.
If the result is above the minimum allowable steady-state voltage for the affected equipment, then you can use full voltage starting. If the result is below the allowable steady-state voltage, then you must compare the sag magnitude versus duration characteristic to the voltage tolerance envelope of the effected equipment.
Note that the required calculations are fairly complicated, so you'll need to use a motor-starting or general transient analysis computer program or have the motor manufacturer use its application engineering capabilities to do the calculations and provide the resulting information.

Billy Frank Jr., tribal fishing activist, dies
SEATTLE (AP) — From the time he was first arrested, at the age of 14, for fishing near his home, Billy Frank Jr. had been a fierce and tireless champion for salmon, tribal sovereignty and the right of Northwest tribes to fish in their traditional waters.
Nearly 70 years of advocacy ended on Monday when the Nisqually tribal elder died at his home near Olympia. He was 83.
Frank figured prominently in Northwest fish-in demonstrations of the 1960s and 1970s that eventually led to sweeping changes in how salmon and other fish are managed in Washington state.
He was arrested more than 50 times for "illegal fishing" during the protests that came to be known as the fish wars. Patterned after the sit-ins of the civil rights movement, the campaign was part of larger nationwide movement in the 1960s for American Indian rights.
"Today, thanks to his courage and determined effort, our resources are better protected, and more tribes are able to enjoy the rights preserved for them more than a century ago," President Barack Obama said in a statement. "Billy never stopped fighting to make sure future generations would be able to enjoy the outdoors as he did, and his passion on the issue of climate change should serve as an inspiration to us all."
Gov. Jay Inslee added his praise.
"Billy was a champion of tribal rights, of the salmon and the environment," the governor said. "He did that even when it meant putting himself in physical danger or facing jail."
Frank's Landing, his family's home along the Nisqually River, became a focal point for fish-ins. Frank and others continued to put their fishing nets in the river in defiance of state fishing regulations, even as game wardens watched and cameras rolled.
Demonstrations staged across the Northwest attracted national attention, and the fishing-rights cause was taken up by celebrities such as the actor Marlon Brando, who was arrested with others in 1964 for illegal fishing from an Indian canoe on the nearby Puyallup River.
Salmon was central to his culture, as with most Northwest tribes, and Frank devoted decades of his life to ensuring that fish, water and the tribal way of life were protected, said Washington state Sen. John McCoy, who is a member of the Tulalip tribe.
"It all revolved around fishing and the ability to fish," McCoy said. "He found it extremely important that this tradition be maintained."
Frank was also known for his warmth and for giving out big hugs or gently ribbing people.
In 1992, he was awarded the Albert Schweitzer Prize for Humanitarianism, whose winners include former President Jimmy Carter and Desmond Tutu.
Frank served as the chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission since 1977. The organization of 20 Western Washington tribes was created in 1974, after the court case brought by the federal government against the state of Washington.
U.S. District Judge George Boldt, who decided the case in what came to be known as the "Boldt decision," affirmed the tribes' right to half of the fish harvest — and the nation's obligation to honor the old treaties.
The ruling, upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1979, effectively made the Northwest tribes co-managers of the resource and laid the foundation for the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission.
The decision had a sweeping effect on other tribes in the U.S., Canada and elsewhere as it triggered other treaty rights cases and changed attitudes toward American Indians, said Richard Whitney, who was appointed a technical fisheries adviser by Boldt after the decision.
Over the next 40 years, Frank continued to press for tribal fishing rights and protection of natural resources, including improving water quality, restoring habitat and removing culverts to ease fish passage.
"We ceded all this land to the United States for a contract to protect our salmon, our way of life, our culture," he told The Associated Press in 2012. "We're gatherers and we're harvesters. And they forgot about us. They built their cities, they built their university. They built everything, and they forgot about us tribes."
Frank was well-known in Washington, D.C., visiting the Capitol and White House to bring attention to issues important to the tribe as well as pressuring the federal government to uphold its treaty obligations to the tribes.
"He was just as fierce now as he was then. He didn't take any crap from anybody," said Russell Hepfer, vice chairman of the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe. But Frank was also the first to give praise and support, he said.
Only weeks ago, he and other tribal members met with federal environmental regulators to push for more stringent water quality standards to reduce the amount of pollution that accumulates in fish. The standards would especially protect native people who eat large amounts of salmon and other fish from Washington state waters.
Merle Hayes, fisheries policy liaison with the Suquamish tribe, had known Frank for 25 years.
"He's been so inspiring to all the tribes," Hayes said. "He believed in the work that he was doing."

Motorists are warned to comply with the one-lane signal on Flagstaff Road, where the road has been washed out, but with the expected completion of emergency shoulders by this weekend, the road has been deemed safe for all users.
Completion of the two-lane temporary winter access road along Four Mile Creek, between Boulder Canyon and Salina, has led officials to open Sunshine Canyon Drive to all users as well. The opening of the access road should reduce construction vehicle traffic on Sunshine Canyon Drive and Poorman Road.
These roads will be open to cyclists and motorists for the foreseeable future, except when conditions or further significant road reconstruction require temporary restrictions.
Bicyclists living on restricted access roads may obtain a bike resident access card that allows legal access to the road. The resident access cards are available for cyclists who use their bikes as their primary mode of transportation and use restricted access roads for access.
Permits can be obtained at the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, 5600 Flatiron Parkway in Boulder.

Oh, and Congress is also funding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to the tune of $70 billion -- something Democratic leaders had vowed not to do. White House sources add all of this up and say that sooner or later a President has to take yes for an answer -- or else he looks unreasonable. The howls of frustration coming from liberal interest groups suggest they have a point.Instead of $31 billion for Afghanistan, we get $70 billion for both theatres (and $55-$60 billion of that will end up being spent on the disastrous Iraq war). The board cheers this. Then it inexplicably puts border security in quotes and groups it with more dubious expenditures, as if to suggest this $2.9 billion for a partial fence along the southern border that should've been built more than a year ago is an example of fiscal profligacy, in contrast to the $60 or so billion going on $2 trillion for Iraq! It does illustrate where the board is coming from, though, that's for sure.
And yet this is hardly a lean or mean budget. When combined with the Defense spending bill that has already been signed, Congress will still exceed Mr. Bush's $933 billion "top-line" thanks to about $11 billion in budget gimmicks and "emergency" spending. (Such spending isn't added to the "baseline" budget.) This includes $2.9 billion for "border security," $100 million for security for the Democratic and Republican conventions next year, $500 million for California wildfires, plus more for home heating oil and other political favorites.
Unlike the $70 billion grant to help in the continual buildup of Iraqi and Afghani armed forces, the $2.9 billion for barrier construction has strings attached:
A provision sponsored by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, would modify the law that requires at least two layers of fencing and specifically spelled out where that fencing should be built in Texas, California, New Mexico and Arizona. ...Restrictionists (myself included) worry that a Huckabee Administration would encourage Homeland Security to do a lot of dispensing indeed. The WSJ's Jason Riley, however, thinks Huckabee is sounding entirely too tough on immigration. Riley contends that Huckabee, who has orchestrated the most surprisingly successful campaign of the Presidential race, doesn't know what he's doing:
It allows the Homeland Security secretary to dispense with fencing, physical barriers, lighting, cameras and sensors at particular parts of the border where he determines those
resources are not needed. ...
The bill would require the department to consult with the Interior Department and Agriculture secretaries, local governments, Indian tribes and property owners to reduce the impact of fencing on the environment, culture, commerce and quality of life for communities and local residents.
With polls showing his lead gone in Iowa and narrowing in other early primary states, Mitt Romney has stepped up attacks on Mike Huckabee in the contest for the Republican presidential nomination. ...If only the former Governor would support what the vast majority of the American public opposes, he'd really win them over! He'd do much better than he has done thus far, foolishly vowing to support the same things they support. That "irrational" strategy has, after all, only vaulted him from second-tier obscurity to first place in Iowa (and the national polls as well) in a couple of months!
[Huckabee's] response was the "Secure America Plan," which involves fencing off Mexico by 2010, hiring more guards to patrol the Rio Grande, and giving the estimated 12 million illegal aliens in the U.S. 120 days to go back where they came from. Like Rudy Giuliani and Mr. Romney, Mr. Huckabee is convinced that tough talk on immigration, however irrational, is necessary to win the nomination. And while such rhetoric may indeed earn you support from nativist groups like the Minutemen, who endorsed Mr. Huckabee last week, there's a danger that it also could consign the GOP to minority status in Washington for some time.
Debunking the myth of the all-important Hispanic vote is a tired trick now. Hispanics comprise 6% of the voting electorate. More than half of the nation's Hispanics live in either California or Texas, both of which are electoral locks.
Of the ten closest races in the 2004 Presidential election, only two--New Mexico (third) and Nevada (seventh)--have proportionally larger Hispanic populations than the nation as a whole. The other eight states have smaller Hispanic populations--and proportionally larger white populations--than the rest of the country. So that 'key' 2%-3% of the electorate, is actually less important than the numerical figure alone might otherwise make it appear!
Open borders advocates on the Republican side commonly point to GOP gains among Hispanics in Presidential elections from 1996 to 2004 as 'evidence' that immigration enforcement is politically suicidal. What they forget to mention is that GOP gains among whites over the same period dwarfed the Hispanic increase.
From Dole's run to Bush's re-election, Republicans picked up more than 11 million white voters, as well as just under 1.3 million Hispanic voters. The Hispanic vote, which tends to mirror the white vote (slide 19) shifted 25 or so points to the left, did just that over those eight years. The 800-pound gorilla was, and continues to be, the white vote.
Although the Hispanic vote is of minor significance, Riley should take note of the fact that even Hispanic Republicans are miles apart from the op/ed board on taxation and governmental growth. A Pew poll found (slide 21) that while only 17% of white registered Republicans stated that they'd favor paying more in taxes for a larger government, 52% of Hispanic registered Republicans said they would. No te olvides de cancelar el periodico, I guess!
Presumably, Hispanics who don't support the GOP are even bigger tax-and-spenders. As affirmative action eligible, relatively impoverished, relatively uneducated, non-English speaking ethnic minorities with significant concentrations in urban areas, it is hardly surprising that Hispanics tend to favor the Democratic party.
In attacking Romney, Riley points out a major benefit with regards to illegal immigration of a national consumption (or sales) tax to replace the federal income tax:
But even illegals working in the cash economy can't avoid paying consumption taxes, which are levied on the purchase of goods and services.That Huckabee is the only 'top tier' candidate openly embracing the FairTax idea (Tom Tancredo also supports the plan) is at least one positive for him on the immigration front.
Riley cites a study by the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation (which focuses on "economic, racial, and social justice") to argue that illegal immigration has economically benefited Arkansas:
Yet a study released earlier this year by the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation found these newcomers to "have a small but positive net fiscal impact on the Arkansas state budget."There are a host of problems with that study. Most blatantly, only direct (accounting) costs are figured, while both direct and indirect sources of revenues are counted on the contributions side. If you're going to include the ripple effect from immigrant contributions, shouldn't you also include ripple effects on the expenditures side (like the opportunity costs of not spending that money elsewhere, the deleterious effects on academic rigor in public classrooms, or the increase in public consumption by the businesses who are indirectly contributing on behalf of these immigrants)? An apples-to-apples comparison (page 17 of the pdf) shows an immigrant shortfall of $44 million ($193 million directly contributed to the $237--or more, see below--spent).
Taking into account both education and health care expenditures, the report found that immigrants "cost" the state $237 million in 2004, but made direct and indirect contributions of $257 million.
On the contributions side, all governmental receipts are included. On the expenditures side, however, 4% of state government expenditures (referred to as "remaining government" expenses) are apparently not allocated to immigrants. Including that, and assuming the same usage rates as are applied as are estimated for other categories like education, brings the debit side up to more than $246 billion, cutting the putative net benefit in half.
Only state spending is considered. Benefits like the EITC and SSI, among other federally bankrolled programs, aren't factored in. At the federal level, the Center for Immigration Studies found that illegal immigration created a net fiscal deficit of over $10 billion in 2002 alone.
There is also the question of worker displacement, as Hispanics in Arkansas are only one-fifth as likely as other Arkansans to own their own businesses. What happens to the torpid American Joe being replaced by Juan if Juan has his job by way of accepting a lower wage and doing better work than Joe? Joe goes on welfare (is heavily subsidized) and Juan keeps the job (is subsidized to a lesser degree). I'll take the American being subsidized, even to a greater degree than Juan would have been, and Juan in Mexico. If I could magically swap Juan for Joe, I probably would. But working poor immigrants do not replace working poor natives, they compete with them and augment the total size of the American working poor.
This study isn't convincing for the reasons stated above, but even if it were, Arkansas is hardly representative. It has the fifth highest poverty rate in the country. It is 16% black, and its white population performs poorly (41st among states) on scholastic measures of academic performance, while its Hispanic students do relatively well (eighth among states). It's certainly not Massachusetts.
Riley dares not breach the issue of what an increasingly Hispanic population portends for the US' economic future. NAEP tests, probably the best source of information serving as a proxy for IQ on a nationwide scale, suggests an average IQ of 93 for Hispanic eighth graders as of 2005. In an ever more competitive international marketplace, that could be a lot more costly than a dollar amount on the debit or credit side of a state's annual budget today.
Open borders advocates often point to the fact that second generation Hispanics do better than the first generation does. But they still do worse than the average citizen. Even four generations in, a gap similar to the one for those in the second generation remains. If a QB's passer rating starts at 20 in preseason but has the potential to get to 40 with a couple seasons in the backup spot, you probably still shouldn't keep him.
While it is encouraging to see Riley touch on quantifiable data, something that tends to be lacking on the open borders side, he still laces the editorial with plenty of invective:
... tough talk on immigration, however irrational [oh, the irony!]...The WSJ's op/ed board has supported the Bush Administration on almost everything: Open borders, messianic democracy, the war in Iraq, surveillance wirtetapping, taxes, social security reform, opposition to increasing the minimum wage, and on and on. The President's approval rating hasn't gotten beyond the thirties for a couple of years. There has been an exodus among his 'inner circle', and under his leadership the GOP has given up the House and couldn't hold on to the Senate. Not exactly a proven track record on how to attain political dominance.
...voters can't be expected to support a Republican Party that takes its marching orders from Lou Dobbs populists [Dobbs, the bane of the Republican establishment, controls the GOP?]...
... it's not taking them from xenophobic fringe outfits [the Minutemen, viewed favorably by more than half of the public] animated by reconquista conspiracy theories.

Author Notes: My mom, Ellyn, wasn't a very adventurous cook when we were growing up; however, there are a few dishes from my childhood that stand out and which I still cook today. She makes a yummy flank steak, marinated in some sort of ketchup concoction, and she makes awesome matzoh ball soup, the BEST according to my husband, and of course this brisket. Each of my mom, my maternal grandma, and my paternal grandma claim that this is their recipe; regardless of where the recipe originated, this is my perfect brisket recipe. Over the years, I have experimented with other more sophisticated brisket recipes that don't involve ketchup and lipton soup mix but they never live up to Mommy Elly's Brisket. About the pictures - the first one is of me and mom and the second one is my mom, dad, and two grandmas at my wedding. —melissav
Serves: 6-8
pounds brisket
package lipton onion soup mix
cup brown sugar
cup ketchup
garlic cloves, crushed
14 ounce can of tomato sauce
tablespoons honey
Salt & Pepper
large onion, cut in large wedges
bunch of carrots, cut in large chunks
bunch of fingerling potatoes (me) or a can of white potatoes (mom)
mushrooms (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 325
- Rub the onion soup mix into the brisket. Place the brisket in a 13x9 pan
- Mix the brown sugar, ketchup, garlic cloves, tomato sauce, honey in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the ketchup mixture over the brisket and cover the pan tightly with foil.
- Roast for about 3 hours until it is tender when you poke it with a fork.
- Remove from oven and slice against the grain. Return to pan.
- If you make this the day ahead (which my mom and grandmas typically do), refrigerate overnight. The next day, continue with Step 8 after you let the brisket come to room temperature.
- If you are not making this ahead, add the onions, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms and cover tightly again.
- Return to the oven for 45 minutes - 1 hour until really tender and the veggies are cooked through.
- Enjoy with family and friends!
- PS - I have started serving this with a horseradish cream sauce (mix horseradish to taste with creme fraiche and a handful of minced chives and salt and pepper to test) and I recommend you do the same!

Jeff Hopsicker '15 threw a touchdown pass to Joe Jensen '15 and Garrett Hoy '13 kicked the extra point with 5:16 left in the fourth quarter to help lift Hamilton College to a 14-13 win against Bowdoin College in a NESCAC game at Hamilton's Steuben Field on Oct. 13.
Both teams are 1-3 overall and in the conference. The Continentals knocked off Bowdoin at home for the fifth straight time. The Polar Bears' last win at Steuben Field was in 2002.
Jordan Eck '13 got his first start this year at quarterback for Hamilton and was 14 of 25 for 155 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Hopsicker's lone completion out of two attempts was the TD toss to Jensen. Hopsicker also ran for 42 yards on eight carries and James Stanell '14 ran 28 times for 76 yards. Simon Jia '16 caught eight passes for a game-high 85 yards with one touchdown and Jensen finished with three catches for 66 yards.
Mike MacDonald '13 was credited with a season-high 16 tackles, including 13 solo stops, and broke up two passes for the Continentals. Jared Kochenash '13 chipped in 11 tackles and one pass breakup. Zach Klein '15 posted 3.5 tackles for a loss of 13 yards, including one sack. Dan Peters '13 came up with the fifth interception of his career, and the first by the Hamilton defense for 2012.
Thomas Romero '14 was 18 of 35 passing for 206 yards with one touchdown for Bowdoin. Zach Donnarumma '14 ran for a game-high 84 yards on 27 carries and David Black '15 led the Polar Bears with 71 receiving yards. Jimmy Garvey '14 made half of his four field goal attempts.
Jon Fraser '15 and Tom Wells '15 paced the Bowdoin defense with nine tackles apiece. Wells also forced a fumble and Fraser had an interception. Brian Glazewski '14 recorded a sack for a loss of 12 yards and Jibrail Coy '16 recovered a fumble.
The Continentals trailed 13-7 when they took over at their own 33-yard line with 7:56 left in the fourth quarter. Hopsicker and Stanell combined to gain 26 yards on five straight rushing attempts, and that put Hamilton at the Polar Bear 41. On first down, Hopsicker faked a pitch to Jia and lofted a long pass to Jensen, who caught the ball in stride at the goal line to tie the score. Hoy's PAT was the go-ahead point.
Bowdoin went three-and-out on its next drive, but the Polar Bears got the ball back at their own 20 with 2:20 remaining. Bowdoin generated 3 yards on its next three plays, and on fourth-and-7, Peters picked off Romero at the Polar Bear 35. The Continentals ran out the final 74 seconds for their first win of the year.
Neither team generated any points early on, but they had chances. At the end of Hamilton's first drive of the afternoon, Hoy missed a 38-yard field goal attempt to the left with 8:57 left in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Garvey was short on a 39-yard attempt for Bowdoin with 8:14 remaining.
The Polar Bears broke the ice on their next drive. Romero capped a 14-play march that started at Bowdoin's own 18 with a 33-yard strike to Ken Skon '16 in the end zone with 1:15 left in the half. The Polar Bears were 4 of 4 on third down during the drive. Garvey added the extra point for a 7-0 lead.
Eck and the Continentals came out firing in the second half. Stanell returned the opening kickoff 20 yards to the Hamilton 28, and on second down, Bowdoin was penalized 15 yards for illegal helmet contact after a 3-yard completion to Jensen. Stanell ran 10 yards to the Polar Bear 45 and Eck found Ethan Dukes '16 for 19 yards on the next play. Eck passed to Jia in the middle of the field and Jia ran into the end zone for a 26-yard score with 12:57 remaining in the third quarter. Hoy's PAT tied the score.
Garvey had a chance to put Bowdoin back on top midway through the third, but was wide left on a 35-yard attempt with 5:26 left. He came back to nail a 31-yarder with 13:10 remaining on the Polar Bears' first possession of the fourth quarter. Romero's 44-yard pass to Black down to the Continental 9 was the big play of the scoring drive.
With 9:25 left in the fourth, Fraser intercepted Eck at the Hamilton 40. On the next play, Donnarumma ran for 13 yards, and a face mask penalty on the Continentals put that ball at the 14. Bowdoin was promptly called for a false start (the Polar Bears finished with 95 yards in penalties), and after two incomplete passes, Donnarumma ran 9 yards down to the 10. Garvey booted a field goal from 27 yards out for the 13-7 advantage with 8:01 remaining.
Total yardage was nearly even with 311 for Bowdoin and 313 for Hamilton. The Continentals were allowing more than 300 yards per game on the ground entering today, but the Polar Bears generated just 105 yards of rushing offense. Hamilton has scored 14 points in all four games this year.
The Continentals travel to winless Colby College on Saturday, Oct. 20, and Bowdoin hosts undefeated Trinity College on Saturday.

The First Farmers
For thousands of years prior to European settlement, Native Americans practiced agriculture in the area now known as Iowa. However, the first known group to reside in Iowa were likely the nomadic, big-game hunters called Paleo-Indians. By piecing together bits of information, archaeologists believe these people roamed Iowa about 12,000 years ago, hunting large mammals. Mammoths, mastodons, caribou and extinct forms of bison were their main source of food and clothing.
Other early inhabitants of Iowa existed primarily as nomads as well, but artifacts indicate that people gradually started settling near rivers as they learned agricultural techniques. Prehistoric people chose to settle by rivers because soils close to the rivers or on river terraces were much easier to farm than upland soils. The rivers also provided the major transportation routes for people and for trade.
There are several Native American cultures that spent some time in Iowa. Arriving from different directions, in different time periods, and settling in various regions, each culture had slightly different tools and methods of farming.
About 2,500 years ago a culture originating in the eastern woodlands of what is now called Ohio and Illinois spread into present-day eastern Iowa. This group, which became known as the Woodlands, practiced a more settled way of life than had been previously experienced in the Iowa region. Their dependence on agriculture required a more settled life, although hunting remained an important occupation to supply food as well as skins for clothing.
It is believed that the Great Oasis people developed from the Woodland culture and existed in Iowa from 900 to 1300, Evidence suggests that they occupied villages during the fall, winter and spring. During the summer they may have gone on communal hunts, or perhaps family groups traveled up and down the river to establish small agricultural plots.
Also around this time the Glenwood people lived in western Iowa and eastern Nebraska. They lived in small clusters of houses and farmed. They interacted little with other tribes. By 1300 these people disappeared from the Glenwood area. It is believed they moved out of Iowa and merged with other tribes.
The Mill Creek people lived along the Little Sioux River of northwestern Iowa. They relied on hunting and farming to survive. They lived in a group of farming villages that first appeared around 1000. The Mill Creek culture grew their crops in a garden area composed of numerous mounds of earth that archaeologists refer to as "ridged fields." The Mill Creek culture remained for several hundred years but had disappeared by the time Europeans arrived. It's possible pressure from nearby Oneota groups or climatic changes that made agriculture unproductive caused them to move elsewhere.
By 900 the Oneota inhabited most of the state. They relied on agriculture, plant gathering and hunting for their subsistence. The combination of agriculture and hunting allowed them to establish permanent villages, which they occupied during the agricultural growing season. These early farmers worked the tillable bottomlands along the rivers. Most experts believe that the Ioway Indians, found living in the region during the late 17th century, were descendents of the Oneota.
The crops that were tended by the early inhabitants include many familiar plants. Some of the plants continue to be cultivated, while some others are now considered weeds. Also, just as the farmers of today rotate crops or experiment with entirely new plants, Iowa's earliest farmers were willing to try new things. For example, corn was introduced about 800, but did not become a staple crop until later.
The Woodland people cultivated corn, beans and squash, as well as the native gourds, sumpweed, goosefoot, sunflower, knotweed, little barley, tobacco, mashelder and maygrass. The Great Oasis grew corn, goosefoot, sunflower, little barley, sumpweed, smartweed, wild plum, hackberry and walnut. The Glenwood people domesticated corn, beans, sunflowers, goosefoot, gourds, squash and tobacco. They also cultivated little barley, barnyard grass, knotweed and marshelder. The Mill Creek people grew tobacco and cultivated maize, goosefoot, marshelder and squash. The Oneota grew maize, squash, beans, pigweed and goosefoot.
While most of the native plants needed little special care to thrive, as the early farmers introduced crops such as corn, beans and squash they developed tools to make their cultivation tasks easier. The Great Oasis people made hoes from the shoulder blades of large mammal bones. The Glenwood people developed tools including bone hoes fastened to wooden handles and sickles made from the jawbones of deer. They used manos, a type of millstone, to grind corn and other seeds. Artifacts show the Mill Creek people possessed a wide variety of tools including bone fishhooks, awls, scraping tools, needles, mano, metate and elk horn dribbles. They made large hoes from the scapula (shoulder) of bison and used these to till the ground.
Iowa has a long history rooted in agriculture. Modern farmers follow in the tradition of their ancestors. Even many of Iowa's native peoples knew the value of Iowa's rich soil. These early Iowans didn't know it, but their farming practices set the stage for many generations of farming in the land known as Iowa. They were just the first in a long line of people who thrived as farmers on the rich soils of Iowa.

UN presses for Mali peace talks starting Aug. 17
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council on Monday welcomed agreement on a roadmap for negotiations between the Malian government and Tuareg separatists and called on both sides to engage in follow-up peace talks starting August 17.
The talks between the Bamako-based government and Tuareg separatists are aimed at restoring stability in northern Mali, which fell under the control of al-Qaida-linked Islamic extremists in 2012. A French-led military intervention scattered the extremists last year but new bursts of violence in recent months are posing a new threat to Mali's central government.
The Security Council reiterated its strong concern about the fragile security situation in northern Mali in a presidential statement and called on the parties "to immediately and fully respect a cease-fire" signed on May 23. The council also reiterated its demand on all armed groups to reject violence and implement already agreed upon confidence-building measures.
The Algerian capital Algiers hosted peace talks from July 16-24 involving Malian government representatives, six Tuareg groups and officials from the United Nations, African Union, the regional group ECOWAS and the European Union. The talks resulted in the adoption of a roadmap by the parties.
The Security Council urged the parties to fully comply with the commitments in the roadmap, including by engaging in the comprehensive peace talks in Algiers starting Aug. 17.
"The Security Council underscored the importance of an inclusive and credible negotiation process open to all communities of the north" with the goal of resolving Mali's political crisis and securing long-term peace and stability throughout the country.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, speaking at a Security Council open meeting on U.N. peacekeeping, also congratulated the Malian parties on the adoption of the roadmap but said he remains deeply concerned about instability in the north. He also urged the parties to stop fighting.

The Warriors are making another move in hopes of finding a suitable backup to point guard Stephen Curry.
The Warriors have agreed to acquire Steve Blake from the Los Angeles Lakers for reserve guards Kent Bazemore and MarShon Brooks, a person familiar with the deal said Wednesday night.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade was still pending NBA approval. The Los Angeles Times first reported Blake had been traded.
Word of the deal started to spread just before the Warriors played in Sacramento and the Lakers hosted Houston. Blake reportedly told his teammates and coaches goodbye in the locker room before the game in Los Angeles.
Blake, who is making $4 million in the final year of his contract, averaged 9.5 points and 7.6 assists while starting all 27 games he played for the injury-depleted Lakers this season. The Warriors are counting on the 33-year-old veteran to bolster a bench that has been searching for a suitable ball-handler since Jarrett Jack left for Cleveland in free agency last summer.
The Warriors acquired Jordan Crawford and Brooks from Boston in a three-team trade on Jan. 15. Golden State sent struggling backup Toney Douglas to Miami in that deal.
Crawford has been, at times, a prolific scorer but is still learning how to be a better distributor and playmaker on a Warriors team that has plenty of shooters. He entered Wednesday averaging 6.3 points and 2.2 assists in his first 13 games with the Warriors after starting for the Celtics while Rajon Rondo was injured.
Brooks appeared in just seven games with the Warriors and never caught on in Mark Jackson's rotation. Bazemore, best known for his animated cheering on Golden State's bench, also struggled in limited action the past two seasons.
Both had split time with the team's NBA Development League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, but should get more of an opportunity with the rebuilding Lakers.

Mold found at 2 New Hanover County schools
Mold found at 2 New Hanover County schools
Mold issues have cropped up in two elementary schools in New Hanover County.
A week ago, about 100 fifth grade students were moved to another school after mold was found at Bellamy Elementary.
The Bellamy students were moved to mobile units at Parsley Elementary that had not been used fulltime. Parents asked that they be tested, and, on Thursday, school officials said one of those mobile units also tested positive for mold.
School officials say they won't hold class in any of the contaminated units.
The students are now being moved to another area for teaching while Bellamy is cleaned.

Liberty News
Congressional Democrats echo Liberty's efforts to encourage students to vote
|Liberty University has its own voting precinct, which opened for the first time on March 6 for the Republican presidential primary. The precinct at the Vines Center received 590 votes, more than any other precinct in the state.
Congressional Democrats have followed Liberty University's lead in urging college students to vote.
An Aug. 7 letter signed by former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and 187 Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives asked the nation's colleges and universities to take a more active role in educating students about the electoral process.
"While students are expected to come out to the polls to vote in great numbers this year, more can be done to eliminate the potential barriers that students may face in November," the letter said.
The letter was addressed to Liberty President and Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr., who has been encouraging students to vote since 2008, despite an outcry from Lynchburg area Democrats and other local residents.
"Historically, students have faced unique barriers to the polls that have discouraged participation, or prevented individuals from voting entirely," Congressional Democrats wrote. "Restrictive residency and identification requirements, inconveniently located polling places, inadequate distribution of voting equipment, and false, misleading and sometimes intimidating information have created difficulties for college students trying to exercise their right to vote."
In 2009, letters to the editor of a local newspaper depicted Liberty's voter registration efforts as "very disturbing," "a disgrace," and an "effort to take over City Council." None of those dire predictions have come to fruition.
Liberty began an information campaign by urging students to vote locally. Falwell contends that students have a vested interest in governmental policies, which directly affect the cost of their education and the quality of their life while in Lynchburg.
Since Liberty students began registering to vote in Lynchburg, City Council has agreed to share in the cost of a new pedestrian overpass, which helps students walk safely to nearby businesses on Wards Road, one of the busiest corridors in the city. Before the overpass was built, students had to dart in and out of traffic to cross the road, which had no crosswalks or any other pedestrian safety features.
Also, Liberty, which has more than 12,500 residential students, has been given its own voting precinct.
In addition to its local student population, Liberty provides jobs for more than 6,200 employees, who are also encouraged to vote.
"As the leader of an institution for higher education, you are in a unique position to facilitate student participation in the electoral process," Congressional Democrats wrote. "Importantly, student voters are often first time voters. Studies have shown that if voters cannot register and vote the first time they attempt to exercise this fundamental right, they will be less likely to vote in subsequent elections."
Falwell said he is pleased that Congressional Democrats are starting to see things his way.
"While local Democrats have complained about Liberty students voting, Nancy Pelosi and 187 Democratic members of Congress are asking college presidents to get the student vote out. It is rare that I agree with Nancy Pelosi on anything but this time, she got it right. I intend to do exactly as she has requested this fall," he said.
