Shifty political winds have upturned the ships of both Governor David Paterson—now no longer going for “re-” election thanks to apparent q misuse of his captaincy—and Harold Ford Jr., who attempted to re-tack left for New York Senate voters much too quickly after a strong right-tack for Tennessee Senate voters, revealing the fundamental flaws in his unseaworthy vessel. Aren’t you loving the nautical metaphors? OK, I’m done here. But it’s been the wacky weather that will make last month memorable. We got a big dose of super wet and heavy snow, taking out power and cable all around our area for days. As much of a drag as that was, it was also pretty cool. People tend to be more helpful and friendly in crummy weather around here; I guess it comes from everyone having a shared burden outside of their control that can actually be overcome, sometimes with a little help. Frost said “Good fences make good neighbors.” I say good snow shovels do. SushiIS OPEN FOR DINNER FROM TUE - SAT What was also memorable to me about this February was how locals came out for charity last month; I counted at least five benefits in the area for the Haiti earthquake survivors, featuring some of the Valley’s best talent. One in particular that was outstanding was the Project For Haiti benefit at the Bearsville Theater, raising several thousand dollars from generous residents for a reputable NGO that can put the money into Bar immediate action there. (Kudos to Ted Orr for coordinating the show.) BEST OF HUDSON VALLEY But this coming month sees a charity event unlike any other I’m aware of. Twelve hunger relief organizations—Queens Galley, Family of 845-255-8811 Woodstock, Caring Hands Soup Kitchen, Daily Bread Soup Kitchen, www.gomenkudasai.com Ulster Corps, Angel Food East, Saint James Food Pantry, Rosendale Food Pantry, People’s Place, Chiz's Heart Street, God Given Bread 215 MAIN ST. NEW PALTZ NY Food Pantry and Libertyview Farm—are collaborating on what they are calling a “hunger event,” on Sunday March 28, at Backstage Productions in Kingston. It goes like this. Upon arrival at the event, guests make their donation—$35, or $25 non-tax deductible minimum—and draw tickets at random that assign each guest to a high, middle, or low tier, based on the latest statistics concerning the amount of people living in poverty. The GHENT WOOD 15 (or so) percent who receive a high tier ticket are served a sumptuous meal by chef Samir Srichi of Ship to Shore, and the 35 percent on the PRODUCTS middle tier will dine on an offering from the Kingston Consolidated school lunch menu. The 50 percent on the low tier get to help themselves to small portions of rice and water. The guest speaker will be Chef Sarah Copeland, spokesperson for the Food Network and Share Our Strength's Native Hardwood Floors fight against childhood hunger, and a co-founder of our Good Food Bringing the outdoors…in!

Tarkoituksenani on selvittää, miten intertekstuaalisten viittausten tuntemus voi vaikuttaa merkittävästi tekstin luentaan. Tutkimuksen aineistona on The Hold Steadyn albumi Stay Positive, mutta analyysissa laajennan tutkimusta monesti käsittämään yhtyeen koko tuotantoa. Tutkimuksen keskeisimmät viitekehykset ovat intertekstuaalisuuden tutkimus, Kiril Taranovskin subtekstianalyysi, sekä rocklyriikan tutkimus. Tutkimuskohteeseen tutustuminen on vaatinut myös huolellista lähilukua. Käsittelen laulujen sanoituksia pitkälti runoudentutkimuksen keinoin.

Schwarzenegger vows veto any budget excluding increased education funding at TSU today BY MICHAEL ARELLANO AND CHRISTINE AMARANTUS Daily Titan Staff Writer [email protected] The founder of the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust is scheduled to speak in the Titan Student Union’s Alvarado AB at 2 p.m. today. Bradley Smith, whose organization contends that the Holocaust did not occur, will talk about what he calls “forbidden topics within student journalism.” Smith has a history of causing controversy on uni- versity campuses across the United States. In February of this year, the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s student newspaper was met with strong opposition when they ran an online advertisement purchased by Smith. “Some members of Madison’s Jewish community, and others, are outraged that the Herald would give this infamous denier a platform to spew his veiled anti-Semitism,” said Nick Penzenstadler, the UW pa- per’s publisher. A self-proclaimed “Holocaust revisionist,” Smith argues the Nazi gas chambers did not exist and spoke at the 2006 Holocaust conference hosted by Presi- dent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran, Iran. “Well, I don’t have an ideology,” Smith said. “Es- sentially, I’m encouraging a free exchange of ideas about a taboo question.” PHOTO COURTESY MCT CSUF’s Hillel club adviser Mark Filowitz com- Gov.
