A succession of hurricanes and tropical storms this past year in the Southeast caused abrupt and significant increases in the fall prices of some fruits and vegetables. Growers, however, should not take this as a sign to boost acreage.
"The increases in the fall prices of some fruits and vegetables were due simply to the shortages caused by the hurricanes and tropical storms that affected Georgia and other parts of the Southeast," says Greg Fonsah, University of Georgia Extension economist.
"Due to the astronomical jump in prices of vegetables during the fall, growers might be tempted to increase planted vegetable acreage to benefit from the temporary price increases," he adds. "But if that happens, excess production will dampen next season's prices for vegetables."
During the 2004 fall vegetable season, which runs from August to October, Georgia was hit by four hurricanes — Charley, Frances, Jeanne and Ivan. These storms damaged a substantial amount of the estimated 45,000 acres of vegetable crops planted in Georgia for the fall season, says Fonsah.
The total damage from the storms, he adds, was estimated at $145 million. "The Georgia pecan and peach industry also suffered significant damage," says the economist. "There were uprooted pecan trees, broken limbs and the loss of nuts. In addition, peach trees were uprooted and suffered broken limbs, although the fruits were already harvested."
Losses caused by the hurricane damage has created a drastic shortage in the quantity of some vegetables and fruits harvested and sold during the fall production season, says Fonsah. Basic economic theory, he says, stipulates that whenever there is a scarcity of any given commodity, prices will increase.
To present a clearer picture of vegetable prices, Fonsah analyzed the price trends for selected fall fruits and vegetables that were affected by the storms of 2004.
Pepper. Jumbo green pepper prices for spring 2003 ranged from $12.18 per 1 1/9-bushel cartons to $19.43, while they ranged from $10.21 to $12 in the fall of the same year. On the other hand, large green pepper prices started from $9.18 up to $15.43 for the spring 2003 crop and from $8.87 to $8.97 for the fall crop. This trend would suggest that pepper prices usually are better for the spring crop than for the fall crop.
However, the price situation drastically changed during the 2004 cropping period. Jumbo green pepper prices for the spring 2004 crop were relatively lower than the previous year's levels. They started from $8.88 and dropped to $7.29 per 1 1/9-bushel carton while the prices for large green peppers started from $7.06 and rose slightly to $7.93. Incidentally, the prices increased more than four-fold for the fall crop. The jumbo green price per 1 1/9-bushel carton sold for $32.95 to $40.46, while the large green peppers sold for $28.88 to $36.65.
Squash. A similar price trend but different pattern was observed for squash. The spring crop started in April through June while the fall crop was the same as with green pepper — September to November. Two varieties, small yellow crookneck and small yellow straight-neck squash, were used in this analysis.
For the spring 2003 crop, the prices for small yellow crook-neck squash ranged from $9.68 to $11.08. The fall 2003 prices for the same product ranged from $6.24 to $7.10 per 1/2 or 5/9-bushel carton. In other words, better prices for small yellow crook-neck squash were obtained during the spring harvest season than for the fall season.
Analysis for the 2004 crop, however, shows a different trend. Prices for small yellow crook-neck and small yellow straight-neck squash vary from $5.85 to $9.75 and $5.48 to $6.76 for the spring crops, respectively. However, a drastic and unusual jump occurred in the fall prices. The small yellow crookneck squash prices started as high as $28.40 in September and dropped to $10.07 in November. On the other hand, the small yellow straight-neck squash prices also started as high as $26.43 and downtrended to $5.95 in November. The starting prices were more than four times the levels seen in 2003.
Sweet corn. In 2004, spring yellow and white sweet corn prices were relatively lower than in 2003. Spring 2004 yellow sweet corn sold for $5.55 per four dozen in May and dropped slightly to $4.42 in July. In spring 2003, it sold for $6.10 in May and decreased to $5.52 in July 2003. Spring 2003 white corn prices were even higher than yellow corn, as they started at $6.68 in May and ended at $6.49 per four dozen in July.
However, fall 2003 prices were relatively lower than the same period in 2004. There were no prices reported for either yellow or white sweet corn in September 2004. Fall prices for white corn jumped to $23.46 in October and dropped slightly to $12.12 per four dozen in November. The fall price for yellow corn also jumped, to $12.08 in October before falling to $10.17 per four dozen in November.
Since pecans are an alternate bearing crop, there's a chance that next year's production will be affected seriously by the carryover effect of the 2004 hurricane season, says Fonsah.
"Cost of production for most growers will increase as they would have to replace uprooted trees and increase chemical treatment rates and frequencies for those trees with broken limbs," he says.
The peach industry, says Fonsah, will feel the pinch of uprooted trees and broken limbs in the subsequent years. "The cost of production will increase, and the quality of next year's crop might be affected.
"Furthermore, although 2005 is expected to be a good production year for peaches, the spillover effect of the hurricanes definitely will have a negative impact on overall production, quality and yield. Assuming these hypotheses are accurate, prices still will remain high but not as high as current prices."

Last week, my coworker Aaron and I got to talking about our favorite bikes. Working in the cycling industry, we get a chance to ride some great stuff, and we're always impressed by the bikes that the likes of Fuji, GT, Diamondback, Devinci, Van Dessel, and our own in-house guys at Scattante turn out.
But inevitably, the question always comes up: what is your favorite bike? With so many good ones out there, it was hard to choose, so to narrow down the challenge, we decided we had to pick three favorites.
- The "Dream Bike"– if cost were no object, what would you ride?
- The "Next Bike"– what is the bike we're probably going to be riding next season?
- The "Best Bang For the Buck" Bike– of all the bikes available from Performance, what is the best value for the money (in our opinion)?
Dream Bike: 2014 Diamondback Podium Equipe Campagnolo Super Record EPS Road Bike
It seems like an obvious move to pick the $10k road bike, but there's good reason here. Namely, I love Campagnolo and I thirst for EPS. And I also think the Podium is one of the most beautiful and distinctive road bikes out there right now. Diamondback really knocked this one out of the park with the color-matched parts and frame in the distinctive "wet" red look, a full Campy Super Record 11 EPS gruppo, and carbon fiber HED wheels. Plus, Diamondback did all their own R&D and development on the frame and fork, and the ride quality is right up there with any other pro-level frameset.
Next Bike: Fuji Altamira 2.1 C Campagnolo Athena EPS Road Bike
Not being a big fan of the all-Top Ramen diet, next season will more than likely see me on the Fuji Altamira 2.1 C instead of the Podium. But that's just fine by me. Campy's EPS system is absolutely incredible, and Athena EPS is exactly identical to the Super Record variety, except the parts are aluminum instead of carbon fiber– which is actually a bit of a benefit because it means better crash survivability. I've heard nothing but great things about electronic shifting performance from other coworkers, so I'm excited to test it out for myself.
Best Bang For The Buck: 2014 Fuji Roubaix 1.3
If I were trying to get the most value for my dollar out of a bike, I would go straight for the Roubaix 1.3. This alloy bike packs some serious punch in the parts department. A carbon fiber fork and a full 10-speed Shimano 105 drivetrain give this bike plenty of performance for the dollar. The compact crank is paired with an 11-28T cassette, which means you'll have the perfect gearing for casual riding or racing right off the bat– all for around a thousand dollars. Plus, the frame is stiff, light, and fast enough that it can easily grow with you if you decide to upgrade components over time.
Dream Bike: 2014 Devinci Atlas RC Carbon 29er Mountain Bike
Next Bike: 2014 GT Force Carbon Expert 27.5″ Mountain Bike
Best Bang For The Buck: 2014 Fuji Nevada 29 1.1 Mountain Bike

It's Finally Dawning On Tech Companies That All This NSA Stuff Is Bad For Them
from the more-of-that-please dept
Obviously, the news of the NSA infiltrating private network links between data centers should make these companies even angrier. It appears that Google is getting there, though Yahoo still doesn't seem to realize what just happened.
However, in an interesting move that at least hints at potential further realization from the tech industry that they need to support user privacy rights, the big guys -- Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Yahoo and AOL -- have all sent a letter to Congress in support of the USA Freedom Act. In it, they once again talk up the importance of greater transparency. But, also, for the first time that I can remember, they appear to be arguing for even more:
Transparency is a critical first step to an informed public debate, but it is clear that more needs to be done. Our companies believe that government surveillance practices should also be reformed to include substantial enhancements to privacy protections and appropriate oversight and accountability mechanisms for those programs.And, even with the letter being sent today, it was almost certainly written and approved before yesterday's revelations -- meaning that this was before they realized the NSA was trying (and succeeding) to backdoor into their networks without their knowledge. Hopefully they'll start pushing for even more significant reforms as well. Some have argued that the tech industry has been complicit in the NSA surveillance efforts, while others have suggested they were compelled, or even tricked/hacked into it. The evidence suggests a combination of all of those factors (in varying degrees across the different companies). But if they want to actually regain the trust of their users, they should stand up for the rights of their users and support the efforts to create real change and to stop illegal surveillance, rather than just increasing transparency.

All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad , is His slave and messenger.
When Allaah revealed the Tawraah (Torah) to Moosa (Moses) the Jews found that some of it was against their desires and wishes, so they refused to observe its rulings. Therefore, Allaah threatened them with complete destruction as He raised Mount Sinai above them like a cloud shadowing them and ordered them to observe the rulings of the Tawraah. Allaah Says (what means): {And [recall] when We took your covenant, [O Children of Israel, to abide by the Torah] and We raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that perhaps you may become righteous."}[Quran 2:63]
When Allaah threatened them they became extremely frightened. They observed the Tawraah for some time, then they began to distort it. Allaah Says (what means):
· {And indeed, there is among them a party who alter the Scripture with their tongues so you may think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scripture. And they say, "This is from Allaah," but it is not from Allaah. And they speak untruth about Allaah while they know.}[Quran 3:78]
· {Among the Jews are those who distort words from their [proper] usages.}[Quran 4:46]
From that time the Tawraah was distorted, consequently the creed of the Jews was distorted. Indeed, the Jews sanctify the Talmud more than they sanctify the Tawraah: they believe that a Jew who studies the Tawraah is doing a good act that does not deserve a reward. However, according to them, a Jew who studies the Mishnah (the text of the Talmud) is doing a good act that deserves a reward. But studying the Gemarah (the interpretation of the Talmud) is the best act.
The Talmud contains even more distorted beliefs than the altered Tawraah. In the Talmud, the Jews allege that their spirits are part of Allaah, and that their level is higher with Allaah than that of the angels. Indeed, they claim that if a person hits a Jew, it is like him hitting Allaah The All-Powerful; Allaah is high above what they claim.
Allaah Knows best.

The distortion of the Torah
"كُنتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّهِ وَلَوْ آمَنَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُم مِّنْهُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ"
"Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in God. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors."

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. — A man fatally shot his live-in girlfriend at an apartment south of Seattle then killed three men, including a neighbor who told others to call 911 and retreated inside his unit before the gunman blasted open the door with a shotgun and opened fire, authorities said Monday.
The 28-year-old suspect was later shot and killed in a parking lot by responding officers.
"We believe this is a domestic violence homicide," Federal Way Police Chief Brian Wilson said at a news conference.
Police encountered a chaotic situation in Federal Way on Sunday night when they responded to reports of gun shots.
The suspect confronted arriving officers with a shotgun in a stairwell then fled to the parking lot after officers fired at him, Wilson said.
He was killed on the ground while reaching for a handgun, Wilson said.
"This is one of the most dangerous … calls for law enforcement to respond to," Wilson said of the active shooter situation.
The names of the shooter and victims have not been released.
However, Wilson said the victims included the suspect's 25-year-old girlfriend, and three men, including the 62-year-old neighbor. The other men were 24 and 46.
Police were still piecing together information but believe the suspect shot his girlfriend in their apartment then killed the two younger men during an argument after he left the unit.
The relationship between the shooter and those two men wasn't clear.
Wilson said the 62-year-old neighbor heard the commotion from another apartment, went outside to investigate and urged others to call authorities. The man returned to his residence before he was shot and killed, the chief said.
Police said the gunman used the shotgun to fire on the man's door to gain entry.
Police said it did not appear that the older man knew the shooter.
Authorities received the first reports of suspicious circumstances about 9:35 p.m. Sunday.
"When officers arrived there were still shots being fired," said Federal Way police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock.
Police swarmed and searched the large apartment complex off Interstate 5 before saying they were confident there were no more casualties.
By dawn, a King County medical examiner's office truck had arrived at the scene to pick up bodies while crime scene investigators kept working. One officer was seen carrying books and a gun to what appeared to be an evidence van.
A total of eight officers fired their weapons, Schrock said. All have been placed on administrative leave, which is standard policy in such situations, as the investigation continues.
Wilson said the suspect, who had a valid concealed weapons permit, had no criminal history. However, he had been involved in two prior domestic violence calls in Federal Way and Seattle, Wilson said.
Both incidents were verbal in nature and no arrests were made, Wilson said.
Federal Way is about 20 miles south of Seattle.

After a serious standoff with the show's production company, the Modern Family cast can get back to doing what it does best – being funny.
Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet and Sofia Vergara will all receive big raises for the upcoming fourth season, according to the Hollywood Reporter – as much as $175,000 per person per episode, with bonuses, along with a cut of back-end profits – after agreeing new contract terms with producer 20th Century Fox Television.
That's well above their current salaries of about $65,000 per episode.
A sixth cast member, Ed O'Neill, who was making more than the others previously – about $105,000 per episode – will now be on par with them.
As part of the deal, the cast agreed to add an eighth year to their contracts. Their salaries will reportedly reach about $350,000 per episode in the show's eighth season.
The actors had originally sued to void their contracts entirely, claiming they violated California's "7-Year Rule," which prohibits personal services contracts that span longer than seven years.
Production is expected to commence shortly for season 4, which premieres Sept. 26 on ABC.

We'd like to thank everyone who's provided feedback or questions on the Guardian Cub announcement and how allowing it to be traded relates to our stance against gold selling. Our hope today is to discuss our desire for a more secure and enjoyable game environment, and provide some clarity on how the Guardian Cub fits into that goal in its own small way.
To begin with, we need to reiterate what we know are the facts of third-party gold sales, and how they impact World of Warcraft players. We've been hard at work for years now thwarting gold farming tactics, and we know that only a very small percentage of gold is actually "farmed" these days. The vast majority of gold that third parties sell to players is obtained through account compromises. Your friend, guild mate, or family member who had their account hacked was specifically targeted for their gold so that it could be turned around and sold to another player looking to buy some. Having your account compromised is one of the most negative experiences a player can have, and dealing with hacked accounts makes up a significant portion of customer support time on a day-to-day basis. These issues have serious and far-reaching consequences on our ability to continue delivering epic game experiences and high-quality support for our players.
We've gone to great lengths to educate, inform, and provide increased account security for players through devices like the mobile and physical Battle.net Authenticator. We provide fun incentives for people to use those devices, and we continue to increase our efforts to educate players, block countless phishing and scamming attempts, improve our detection methods to stop account compromises before they begin, and take a harsher stance on third-party gold buying itself.
With all that in mind, we come to the new tradable Guardian Cub pet. By letting players trade this pet, we're giving those who want to participate in the Pet Store without spending real money a way to buy the pet with gold instead. This also means that players can buy one for the purpose of trying to sell it in-game, creating the potential for players to exchange real money for gold in a way that does not lead to account compromises. Of course, all that comes with the pretty important caveat that demand for the pet will be finite, and there's no guarantee you'll be able to find a buyer.
While this one little pet can never come close to "solving" the above issues with third-party gold selling and account compromises, it may help us determine whether we're able address these ongoing problems in a safe, creative way that ultimately has a positive impact on the game experience overall. Our hope is that through all of our increased efforts we can make World of Warcraft a safer, more secure, and more enjoyable game for all of our players.

Nashville, Tenn. - The Tennessee State volleyball team opened conference play with a 3-1 (25-22, 25-18, 21-25, 25-16) victory over Eastern Kentucky.
Senior libero Britani Hathorn had a career match for the Tigers, recording 38 digs. Her output was nearly double her previous season high,
Sophomore outside hitter Naomi Wells led the Tigers on the offensive end with 15 kills. Fellow sophomore Sherryce Butler also had a strong match, tallying 11 kills.
Junior setter Erika Moss had yet another 30-plus assist match, and this time had a total of 37.
TSU only allowed Eastern Kentucky to hit .035 on the night.
The Tigers jumped out to a 10-5 on the back of two kills by Wells to start the match. EKU would comeback however, and actually took the lead before another Wells kill tied the set at 18. The two sides traded points until a perfect assist from Moss was slammed home by Butler for the set-winning kill.
Again, TSU started strong early in the second set as sophomore outside hitter Rachel Ambroch- playing in her first match in nine contests- recorded a kill to give the Tigers the lead at 10-7. Even after a pair of timeouts, EKU could not recover from the deficit, and a late error caused them to fall behind two sets to none.
Neither team could break away during the third period, and the match was tied six times. Finally at 19-19 EKU mounted a charge. The Colonels went 6-2 down the stretch and an error from Wells ended the set.
The fourth and final frame proved to be a blowout and TSU started on a 15-6 run highlighted by three kills from Ambroch. The Tigers kept up the assault as three kills from three different players keeping the lead out of EKU's reach. An assisted kill from Moss to Ambroch ended the match.
The Tigers will look to improve their record to 7-7 when they take on Morehead State tomorrow.

The Sleepy Eye Indians traveled to Stark on July 7 to take on the Longhorns in a doubleheader.
Game 1: Sleepy Eye 9, Stark 2; Game 2: Sleepy Eye 4, Stark 0
The Sleepy Eye Indians traveled to Stark on July 7 to take on the Longhorns in a doubleheader.
Sleepy Eye came out strong in the first game and took an easy 4-0 lead after two innings. Stark responded with two runs of their own in the third, but the Indians pulled away in the fourth and fifth after scoring five more.
Leading at bat was Andrew Woitas, who had three hits, one RBI and one run. Also, Alan Woitas scored two runs with one hit, Sean Mathiowetz scored three runs and had two RBI, and Kelly Krzmarzick had one hit and three RBI.
Stark made five costly errors in the game which further propelled Sleepy Eye's unstoppable offense. On the defensive side, Alan Woitas threw five strikeouts over nine innings along with two runs, seven hits and a walk.
Costly mistakes from Stark was the story for the second game as well, as the Longhorns had six errors while Sleepy Eye was errorless.
Joey Walter and Mathiowetz each scored two runs in the game while Mathiowetz had three hits and an RBI. Also leading for the Indians was Alan Woitas with two hits and three RBI, and Andrew Woitas going 3-for-4. He also led on the mound, throwing six strikeouts, six hits and three walks.
The second game was a make up game from June 12. Sleepy Eye's record moves to 8-9 and will finish its last three regular season games at home.

Anyway I have had a good month of eating (hence the diet) and last week Pascal and I went to try Blanchette in Soho. I had read about it and loved that it is French tapas - perfect as I always find there are too many good things on a menu and at least with tapas you can order more!!
We arrived at the restaurant at 2pm on a Wednesday and Pascal immediately turned his nose up as it wasn't what he was expecting - from looking at the website he had imagined something much smarter. I dragged him in and luckily they had one table for two left. As soon as we sat down and Pascal surveyed the surroundings he realised he had been quick to judge and he actually loved the place - very quaint and cute - it was filled with old french "artefacts" albums, books, pictures displayed in a rustic environment.
We ordered a couple of drinks and studied the menu. The concept of the restaurant is sharing small French family style dishes with charcuterie plates, homemade terrines, oysters, cheese and so on.
Then to start we had bread and butter and saucisson with hazelnuts. We wanted the saucisson with truffles but they didn't have it unfortunately. I was initially disappointed as I love truffles but the saucisson we had was amazing, served with a celeriac coleslaw and cornichons - we wiped the plate clean.
We also wanted the homemade terrine but they didn't have that either so went for the duck rillettes instead and I have to say, it was the best rillettes I have ever had, so soft and it literally melted in your mouth.
We then also had the cheese beignets with onion confit. These were Pascal's favourite - they were so light and fluffy. I would have preferred the croque monsieur but it was worth it to see Pascal thinking he was literally eating Heaven!!
For mains I chose the warm confit of salmon with duck, puy lentils and herbs. The salmon was seared and lightly cooked but still pink in the middle and tasted so fresh - my only complaint was the pieces of duck were minute and so you couldn't really taste them. It was still all delicious though.
Pascal ordered the chou farci of braised beef shin with spring vegetables - I thought this was a random choice but obviously I do not know French food as well as I like to think…it was amazing - if you go here, you have to have this.
To round the meal off we had fries with béarnaise - the sauce was so good, we had to order another one!!
Unfortunately we had no room for cheese which was a major bummer as they had such a good selection but I know we will be here again soon and I can get stuck in then. If you like French food, definitely pay a visit but book a table as this is already a very popular place.

Killswitch Engage to Headline Dirt Fest 2014
Most of the lineup has been announced for this year's annual Dirt Fest. The event will be held Saturday, Aug. 9, at Birch Run Expo Center in Birch Run, Mich., and Killswitch Engage will headline (watch Banana 101.5's announcement video above).
Some of the other artists confirmed for the festival include Sid Wilson of Slipknot, Powerman 5000, Local H, Redlight King, Nothing More, Smile Empty Soul, Nonpoint, Like a Storm, (hed) p.e., Tantric, Chimaira, Gemini Syndrome, Battlecross, Psychostick, Eyes Set to Kill and more. Two more acts, including another headliner, are yet to be announced. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 23. For details and the complete list of bands, go here.
In a recent interview with Loudwire, Killswitch Engage drummer Justin Foley talked about the setlist they are playing on their current tour:
"We've been playing a lot of the new record lately, which is kind of a first for us. We always want to make sure that we're playing stuff everyone knows and we don't feel like when something's new that everyone knows it yet, so we kind of work things in little by little. This one, it's gone over pretty well, so we just keep putting more and more songs in. Before we knew it, we were playing more than half the record in our headline set, which is pretty cool."

Last week a couple of lucky volunteers from Performance headquarters got to work on a new Habitat For Humanity house in the neighboring city of Durham, NC.
It was a brand new house and they spent the afternoon shoring up insulation around the foundation so that other crews can start putting up some walls.
Like all Habitat houses, the new homeowners will get a zero interest loan, keeping the house affordable and helping Habitat work towards their goal of reducing homelessness worldwide. Another fun bonus for this project is that the house is sponsored by another local company, Cree. If you're not familiar with Cree, they are the company that's fulfilling the promise of LED lighting technology. We can't wait to see what kind of lights this house is going to have in a couple of weeks!
One of the great things about working at Performance is the opportunity to volunteer like this without taking a vacation day. Performance gives every full time employee 8 hours of paid volunteer time each year, making sure that we all have the chance to invest in our communities.

A Pennsylvania man has been charged with driving while impaired in connection with a crash that sent three people to the hospital on Friday in Havelock.
A Pennsylvania man has been charged with driving while impaired in connection with a crash that sent three people to the hospital on Friday in Havelock.
Harry G. Peck, 52, of Titusville, Pa., was charged with driving while impaired and driving left of center in connection with the four-car crash at 4:02 p.m. Friday on Fontana Boulevard, according to the Havelock Police Department.
Peck and Katherine Morgan, 29, of Beaufort, who was driving a 2008 Toyota Corolla, were both airlifted from the scene via Cherry Point Search and Rescue Helicopter Pedro to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville. Both were listed in fair condition on Monday, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
A third victim was transported to CarolinaEast Medical Center in New Bern, but a hospital spokeswoman reported having no record of admittance for that person.
According to police, Peck was driving west in a 2004 Ford F-150 pickup truck and had just rounded a curve when he crossed the center line near Outer Banks Drive and sideswiped an eastbound 2006 Toyota Camry driven by James Marcelin, 27, of Havelock. Marcelin�s car ran off the right side of road into a ditch.
Peck then struck Morgan�s Corolla head-on and then bounced into a 2000 Toyota Sienna van driven by Gale Jones, 55, of Beaufort.
After the impact, Peck�s pickup truck caught fire and witnesses at the scene pulled him out of the burning vehicle.
Jeremiah Johnson, one of those who helped pull Peck from the truck, said he was heading east and barely avoided Peck�s pickup truck but watched the crash happen in his mirrors. Johnson, who was heading home after coach soccer practice at Havelock High School, said as the pickup went by him, he noticed the driver already slumped over before the impact.
The crash blocked the two-lane road for about two hours, with Pedro landing in the middle of the road to transport the victims. All four vehicles had to be towed from the scene, and transmission fluid, oil and other liquids from the vehicles had to be cleaned up before the road could open.


text: Four Strategies to Impress Your Landlord February 26, 2014 10:58 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Sara Schafer Top Producer Editor Email The landlord-tenant relationship is vital, and like any relationship, you must invest time and effort to strengthen it. Farmers who are honest and good stewards are who landowners want to rent to, says Mark Gannon, owner of Gannon Real Estate & Consulting in Ames, Iowa. "Tenants have a great responsibility, and the land will treat you well if you take care of it," he says. "The world needs good farm operators." Gannon says the best tenants share several key characteristics. Learn more, download speaker presentations and read complete conference coverage at www.TopProducerSeminar.com. Act Professional. Treat the landlord relationship as an important business relationship. Dress and physical appearance are major components to your professionalism. Also, make sure all of your correspondence, written and verbal, is respectful and proper. Gannon says this is important, even if a lease agreement is between family members. Prove Yourself. It's one thing to say you take care of the land; it's another to prove it. Share yield results, fertilizer applications, chemical records and crop insurance data with your landlord. Learn what environmental aspects they are worried about, and show how you are addressing it. Share Farmland Data. Gannon also recommends sharing other records. Owners should have access to yield monitor reports, scale tickets, soil test results, drainage records and any government program information. Distribute a Newsletter. Develop a good communication plan to help facilitate a long-term relationship, says Gannon, noting that a regular newsletter, either print or email, is best. Include information on land values, local farm and town issues, along with pertinent state and regional topics. Back to news

Czech Republic
major macro economic indicators
|GDP growth (%)
|Inflation (yearly average, %)
|Budget balance (% GDP)
|Current account balance (% GDP)
|Public debt (% GDP)
(f): forecast
- Central geographic location at the heart of industrial Europe
- Tightly integrated in the international, especially German, production chain
- Preferential destination for foreign direct investments in Central Europe
- Significant industrial potential
- Robust public accounts and banking system
- Low reliance on external energy
- Small, very open economy: exports account for 84% of GDP
- Very dependent on European demand: 63% of exports are to the Eurozone, one third to Germany
- Automotive occupy large share of the economy
- Lack of rapid transport links with the rest of Europe
- Ageing population and shortage of skilled labour
Dynamic activity despite an economic slowdown
Following the outstanding performance of 2017 associated with the recovery of investment, growth in 2018 is expected to settle at a level in line with potential but will remain hampered by the shortage of a local workforce due to low unemployment (2.3% in May 2018). Private investment will continue to be the second most important contributor to growth, after private consumption, because of the high capacity utilisation ratio. Construction will continue to benefit from the return to normal of European structural funds, but will be hampered by the residential property downturn. This will suffer from more expensive credit linked to the central bank's monetary policy tightening. Automotive, which accounts for 28% of industrial production, 20% of exports of goods and 10% of GDP, is expected to continue to prosper. This is because automotive exports will benefit from strong German consumption and performance, as well as the positive trend on the European market on which they greatly rely. Nonetheless, export momentum will be dampened by the appreciation of the koruna, reducing export competitiveness and trade's contribution to growth. Inflationary tensions started to put pressure on household consumption whose growth has begun to stabilise. Nevertheless, it will continue to be underpinned by robust employment figures and wages, as well as by the gradual appreciation of the krona, enabling a reduction in the cost of imported goods.
Excellent fiscal position and satisfactory external accounts
Despite some easing, the new government's fiscal policy is expected to remain cautious, helping keep the public accounts in equilibrium in 2018. Infrastructure spending will increase due to the necessity of using European funds awarded under the 2014-2020 programme, on pain of seeing their level reduced in future. Moreover, massive fiscal reforms are planned by the new government, which wants to take advantage of the strong increase in revenues generated by the lively pace of activity to finance the reforms without worsening the budget position. The reforms include a cut in VAT in the hospitality sector (from 21% to 15%), a reduction in employer contributions, as well as cuts to income and corporation tax. The reform programme will also be financed by cuts to current spending, allowing budget equilibrium to be maintained and debt reduction to continue. Despite the influx of foreign capital attracted by prospects for an appreciation of the koruna, 80% of the debt is still held by local investors. This success explains why 86% is denominated in koruna and issued at negative yields on short maturities.
The trade balance shows a structural surplus (5.6% of GDP in 2016) thanks to close integration in the European, especially German and automotive, production chain. Engineering, household appliances and electrical equipment will also make a positive contribution. Nevertheless, the slight appreciation of the koruna, as well as robust domestic demand, will limit the trade surplus. Services also show a surplus (2.3%) thanks to tourism. The substantial income deficit (6.1%) is explained by the substantial FDI stock. This results in a small current account surplus, which could be jeopardised by a drop in the trade surplus, even if the potential for deterioration seems fairly limited. Moreover, external debt (74% of GDP) presents a low risk, as it mostly consists of intragroup liabilities, loans linked to FDIs, short-term commercial loans, and deposits by foreign banks with their local subsidiaries (87% of bank assets), which are by nature fairly fixed.
Formation of a minority government, weakened by allegations concerning the new Prime Minister
The ANO 2011 (centre-right) movement led by Andrej Babis, won the October 2017 elections by a large margin, obtaining 30% of the votes cast and 78 out 200 seats in parliament. Nevertheless, the traditional parties have refused to enter into a coalition with this party whose leader has been charged with the fraudulent use of European funds. The traditional parties received a historically low share of the votes, with the Social Democratic Party (CSSD), to which the outgoing Prime Minister belongs, relegated to sixth place with only 7% of the votes. Conversely, the rival parties have made significant progress with the Czech Pirate Party (10.8%) and the extreme-right Freedom and Direct Democracy Party (10.6%) able to profit from distrust of migrants and Euroscepticism. With nine parties represented, the fragmented parliament made it difficult to form a majority government. In July 2018, almost nine months after Andrej Babis's Ano party won Czech parliamentary elections, the government won a confidence vote. The Communist party supported a minority coalition between Ano and the CSSD. Although the Communists remain outside the government, their deal with Mr Babis brought them the closest they have been to power since 1989.
Last update : August 2018
Czech law limits cash payments to a maximum of CZK 270,000 (approximately EUR 10,000). Purchasers who wish to make payments that exceed this limit must pay the entire sum via wire/bank transfer.
Bank transfers are by far the most widely-used means of payment. The SWIFT system is fully operable in the Czech Republic, and provides an easier, quicker and cheaper method for handling international payments. The Czech Republic is part of the SEPA system, simplifying bank transfers inside the European region.
Cheques for domestic transactions are not widely used. Bills of exchange and promissory notes are commonly used as a security instrument, which present the purchaser with the option to access a fast-track procedure for ordering payment by court (under certain legal conditions).
Electronic invoices are widely accepted.
Debt collection
To ensure the recovery of a debt in case of default, creditors should keep all documentation related to the transaction. This includes the original (written) contract, any documents related to the transaction (e.g. invoices and confirmed delivery notes, such as internal delivery notes, CMRs , CIMs, bill of lading, airway bills, packing lists, etc.), individual orders, and any other relevant documentation and/or correspondence.
The main factors influencing effectiveness in debt collection are the age of the debt (the earlier the start of collection, the larger the chance for a successful recovery) and the reason for non-payment.
The more typical reasons for non-payment, with their associated probability of successfully settling the debt, are as follows:
- administrative mistake (very high probability of successful collection)
- secondary payment inability (high probability of successful collection under condition that the debtor´s own outstanding will be paid by its customers (debtors)
- dispute (depends on mutual negotiations and solution)
- debtor´s intention not to pay (very low probability of successful collection, legal action recommended)
- insolvency as objective status (negligible probability of successful collection)
Amicable phase
Amicable debt collection is recommended, because it remains cheaper for creditor compared to legal proceedings. Amicable settlements are also enforceable in court.
Legal proceedings
The costliness and length of average legal proceedings is comparable to European standards.
Average court costs total 20 to 25% of the nominal value and include:
- A court fee of 5% and a minimum value of CZK 1,000
- This is reduced to 4% and a minimum of CZK 400 when the plaintiff applies for an electronic payment order,
- Lawyers' fees of (approximately) 15%
- Other costs and other costs of (approximately) 3%
- e.g. expert testimony, translation and interpretation
Fast-track procedure / Order to pay (platební rozkaz)
This is a practical and rather short procedure, outlined in sections 172 - 175 of the Code of Civil Procedure (občanský soudní řád, CCP).
The judge, convinced of the merits of the claim and without hearing the case, issues a payment order which is served to the defendant, who may either accept it or file a statement of opposition against it within fifteen days of its service.
If the debtor opposes the debt, then the process continues as standard court proceedings.
If the legal action duly described and substantiated the creditor's claim, the court can issue an order to pay, even if the creditor has not requested such an order. It takes on average three months for a decision to be made, ranging from a minimum of two months to a maximum of six months.
Ordinary procedure
Ordinary proceedings takes place after the defendant has disputed the claim during the platební rozkaz or by filing a dispute directly via the courts. Ordinary proceedings are partly in writing (parties filing submissions accompanied by all supporting case documents), and partly oral (both creditors and debtors present their cases during the main hearing). In practice, ordinary proceedings typically last from one to three years before the court renders a final and enforceable judgement.
On the 1st July 2009 onwards (Act No. 7/2009 Coll.), the CCP was amended to introduce more digital options in the justice process, so as to lessen the burden of judges and ensure the prevention of delays in proceedings. Since this amendment, all correspondence from Czech authorities to legal entities is delivered electronically via registered data boxes with special legal regulations (Act No. 300/2008 Coll., effective as of 1st July 2009).
Enforcement of a Judgement
Judicial enforcement is reserved only for matters specifically listed in the law, such as family law. All monetary claims stemming from business relationships are enforced by a judicial executor (soudní executor) under Act No. 120/2001 Coll. (exekuční řád, the Execution Act).
Enforcement by judicial executor is considered to be more effective, because the executor is a private-sector entity whose fees depend on a successful enforcement. A specific fees schedule applies based on the amount concerned by the execution.
As part of the European Union, enforcement of foreign awards issued by a European Union member state will benefit from advantageous enforcement conditions, such as the EU Payment Order or the European Small Claims procedure. Foreign awards rendered by non-EU countries can be recognized and enforced, provided that they have gone through the exequatur procedure under the Czech Private International Law and Procedure Act.
Insolvency proceedings
The insolvency act introduces new methods and faster process, with single proceedings where the court decides on three particular solutions:
- Reorganisation
- Bankruptcy
- Debt clearance (or in other words, discharge of debts)
An insolvency petition can be lodged by either debtors themselves or their creditors, but a creditor must provide unambiguous evidence to support its claim, with one of the following:
- An acknowledgement of debt (with the certified signature of the debtor or its representative)
- An enforceable judgement
- An enforceable notary act
- An enforceable executor´s act,
- Confirmation of auditor or expert witness or tax advisor
The creditor must in addition prove the existence of other creditors. Creditors are liable for damages caused by filing a bankruptcy petition where the conditions of insolvency were not met.
All insolvency petitions are recorded in an insolvency register (insolvenční rejstřík) kept by the Ministry of Justice, where all important information on insolvency proceedings is published (sections 419-425 of the Insolvency Act). This also allows for insolvency proceedings to remain transparent.
Reorganization proceedings
Reorganization is a method of resolving insolvency that aims to preserve the debtor's business, while granting satisfaction to creditors. Insolvent debtors may initiate proceedings, but debt restructuration proposals must be approved by the court, with periodical inspection of its fulfilment by the creditors. The management retains the right to manage the business.
Bankruptcy proceedings
Bankruptcy is a court-ordered method of resolving insolvency, whose aim is to monetize all assets of debtor and thus obtained yield to distribute between creditors who have lodged their claims into the proceedings. The authorization to dispose of debtor´s assets and to sell those assets is granted to a bankruptcy trustee who is appointed by court. At this point; the business declared bankrupt is no longer allowed to conduct business operations independently.
Debt clearance
Used mainly by individuals (non-entrepreneurs), this is a method of resolving insolvency which presents an alternative to declaring bankruptcy. The Insolvent debtor clears the debt, but under Court control he is obliged to pay only a reduced percentage of total debts.
Liquidation proceedings
The liquidation procedure begins once it is decided that a company is to be wound up. Either the management or the court appoints a liquidator in charge of liquidating the company's assets and collecting receivables. Creditors must register their claims within 90 days following publication of the court's decision, in order to get satisfaction during the liquidation proceedings. All claims of creditors must be fully satisfied in liquidation proceedings.
It is important to note that liquidation proceedings are not considered as a method of insolvency in Czech law: in the event that the liquidator finds there are not enough assets to satisfy all claims during liquidation, he is obliged to file a petition for insolvency. At this point, the liquidation turns into insolvency; a separate proceeding.

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Milestones: 1993
St. Mary's Honor Center v. Hicks
, the Supreme Court rules that the plaintiff in an employment discrimination case is not entitled to automatically win even if he establishes a
prima facie
case of discrimination and demonstrates that all of the reasons advanced by the employer for the "challenged action" are false. The Supreme Court's decision means that even if the plaintiff can prove the employer's asserted defense is pretextual, than a finding of unlawful discrimination is not mandatory. A fact finder may still conclude that the employer's action is not discriminatory. The Commission had filed a brief as
amicus curiae
arguing, unsuccessfully, that prior Supreme Court cases established that once the plaintiff had shown that all of the employers reasons for the adverse employment actions are pretextual, then the plaintiff should automatically win.
Harris v. Forklift Systems, Inc.
, the Supreme Court rules that in a sexual harassment case, the plaintiff does not have to prove concrete psychological harm to establish a Title VII violation.
EEOC pilots an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Program featuring mediation in four field offices (New Orleans, Houston, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.). Contract and volunteer staff mediate 300 charges.
In the first EEOC trial under the Americans with Disabilities Act,
EEOC and Wessell v. AIC Security Investigation, LTD.
, the agency successfully proves that the defendant discharged the charging party because he had brain cancer, even though he had continued to perform the essential functions of his job satisfactorily. EEOC secures $220,000 in back pay and compensatory and punitive damages on behalf of the charging party.
The Commission and the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) General Counsel sign a Memorandum of Understanding providing for coordination of issues arising under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the National Labor Relations Act (
the duty to reasonably accommodate an individual with a disability versus an individual's seniority rights earned pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement).
In the first full year of enforcement of Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), over 16,000 individuals file an ADA charge with EEOC. This is approximately eight times the number of Title VII charges filed in 1965, Title VII's first year in effect.
EEOC publishes proposed guidance on workplace harassment under all bases covered by Title VII, including harassment based on religion. Over 100,000 individuals contact the agency expressing opposition to the proposed guidelines. In 1994, both Houses of Congress pass measures restricting EEOC from issuing guidelines on harassment that include religion as a basis.
President Bill Clinton designates Commissioner Tony E. Gallegos as Acting Chairman of EEOC. Gallegos is the first Hispanic American to serve in this capacity.

Winds power load balancing: Ultracapacitors help
Wind power is increasing as traditional energy markets are influenced by regional instabilities and, with recent events in Japan, nuclear power seems less attractive politically in many areas. The wind turbine market also is taking advantage of rapid technology advances. [See article on direct-drive wind turbines.] Manufacturers once struggled to cost-effectively capture consistent wind-generated power, but a shift in energy storage practices has resolved that problem. Ultracapacitors are replacing battery-driven energy storage systems and introducing new efficiencies in the wind turbine market, helping to balance the electricity grid.
While the rotor blades of a turbine can be adjusted to respond to current conditions, this changeability creates waste in battery-powered systems, which are sized to meet the highest possible power demands. Batteries also struggle under moments of high peak power and perform poorly in low temperatures. With short life spans, batteries force maintenance crews to frequently swap out components under potentially dangerous conditions.
Ultracapacitors resolve those problems because they:
Have a long life span. Batteries last 2 to 4 years, but ultracapacitor life span is more than 10 years.
Can withstand extreme temperatures. They operate optimally at a temperature range between -40 C and 65 C, whereas batteries function best at -20 C to 40 C.
Have impressive cycling capability. A battery can offer only 10,000 to 50,000 cycles compared to an ultracap's million-plus.
Are dropping in cost. The cost of ultracaps has decreased by 99% in the last 10 years. During the same period of time, battery price fell by only 30% to 40%.
For the above reasons, new wind turbine installations will favor ultracapacitors to control blade pitch, ensure optimum positioning, and capture wind speed for better performance and safety.

Steen scores league-leading 15th, 16th goals to lead Blues to 7-3 win over Avalanche
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
ST. LOUIS – Alexander Steen scored his league-leading 15th and 16th goals and the St. Louis Blues' slumping power play woke up with three goals in a 7-3 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night.
St. Louis has won seven of nine and is off to the fastest start in franchise history with 12 wins in its first 17 games.
Colorado lost back-to-back contests for the first time this season.
Derek Roy, David Backes, Vladimir Tarasenko, Chris Stewart and Jay Bouwmeester also scored for the Blues, who have won their last five home meetings with the Avalanche.
T.J. Oshie added four assists for the first four-point game of his career.
The Blues were 3 for 4 on the power play, breaking out of a 1-for-15 skid that spanned the previous five-plus games.
Steen, who pushed the lead to 3-1 with his first goal at 7:16 of the second period, has a point in 12 successive games, a career high.
St. Louis goalie Jaroslav Halak improved to 10-2-2.
Nathan MacKinnon, Matt Duchene and Ryan O'Reilly scored for Colorado, which lost 2-1 at Carolina on Tuesday.
Avalanche goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere lost for the first time this season after winning his first five starts. He was pulled in the second period after allowing three goals on 14 shots, but re-entered at the start of the third. Giguere, who gave up five goals on 165 shots in his first five games, was looking to become the first Colorado goalie to begin the season 6-0.
The Blues scored four times in a span of 11:50 in the second period to break open a 1-1 game.
Backes put his team ahead to stay 2-1 with a power play goal 2:49 in the second period. He jumped on a rebound at the side of the net off a shot from Roy.
Roy, who added two assists, got the St. Louis attack started with a power play goal just 1:54 into the game. It was the first man-advantage goal given up by Colorado on the road this season. The Avalanche were 20 for 20 on kills over their first seven road games.
The Blues have scored first in their last nine games.
NOTES: The Blues signed D Carlo Colaiacovo to a one year free-agent contract. He was not in uniform on Thursday. ... The Avalanche had given up two goals or less in nine of their previous 10 games. ... The Blues had 10 shots or more in their last eight periods. ... The game featured three fights in the second period after the Blues took control.

This anime is definitely not targeted at kids. It's targeted at a much larger audience. It's particularly going for the older super hero geeks.
The universe is starting to be fleshed out. Wild Tiger was inspired by Mr Legend. I guess Mr Legend was a hero during the golden age, before endorsements and the like.
I'm guessing that excessive collateral damage and the like led to the government to heavily regulate super powered vigilantism and NEXT.... similar to what happened in the Incredibles or Marvel.
I guess super heroes have to be sponsored in order for them to be legal and insured. It seems the active super heroes have to live with a lot of red tape.
Anyhow, Tiger and Barnaby have the same power. For 5 minutes, they're Superman. The others aren't as powerful but don't appear to have time limits.
I wonder if Barnaby is Mr Legend's son. The guy that appears to be his father has a similar jaw. With a blond wig and fake mustache, he'd look like him. It also makes me wonder if Tiger and Barnaby could be related but not know it. They do have the same powers.
Tigers daughter may have powers, too.
I wonder where they'll go with this. How long is this series? 12, 24, 52+?

This is surprisingly doing rather well on amazon japan's pre order rankings.
Right now...
Tiger and Bunny Vol 1 is #7 and Vol 2 is #30.
Steins;gate vol 1 #56
Hanasaku vol 1 #88
Steins;gate vol 2 #91
Denpa Onna vol 1 #93
IS Vol 1 after 3 weeks only hit #28...
Anyway Steins;gate has a massive points lead at the moment but Tiger and Bunny is the clear #2 atm from shows with release dates. Even though Vol 1 is cheap, seeing Volume 2 high up is encouraging.

Let's see
-This show ended up capturing more of the American comic book feel than any of the Marvel Anime projects lol
-It's actually something that I would absolutely love to read in a comic book. This alternative retelling of superheroics being commercialised to the logical extreme. I do believe that this idea was played with before, but this show managed to maintain the ''feeling'' of how this was almost from the pages of a comic.
-While he has a cute daughter (), that's not the reason why I like Tiger so much. No, the reason has to do with how, despite him being as cynical about this ''business'' as anyone in the show, he is honestly the most faithful, true to character expy of Peter Parker I had seen. Its amazing, that when his circumstances, backstory and family are not similar, but the character is still in it's core that poor man who only wants to do good despite being stuck in a cynical world where having the power to help others translates to being an attention whore, who is constantly screwing up while doing the right thing, who no one really likes, and who always disappoints the people he holds dear to his heart despite trying not to (the scene where he was swinging and trying to call his daughter to tell her he was late was what sold me on this idea)
-The CG ... wasn't that bad. I expected to hate it, but it was actually fairly okay for the most part.
-I'm split about the product placement here. On one hand, it ties nicely into how every hero here is actually a bill board for certain companies, on the other hand it's blatant advertisement.
-Cyclone and Dragon Kid are personally the two whom I thought looked the best designed to be honest, hopefully Cyclone will graduate from simply being in the background (I mean come on ...).
Overall, awesome stuff.

It's moved up to #5 now and Vol. 2 is #24. Being beaten by your own release in Unicorn and the latest hit with otaku in Madoka Magica is nothing at all to be ashamed of.

That's good news. I've never liked typical comic book hero type stories but I do like the ones that put an interesting twist to it like The Incredibles. I'm rather liking Tiger & Bunny for the interesting twist of superhero crime fighting becoming a commercial buisiness and the comedy duo is great too, especially Tiger who really earned some brownie points for going the extra mile for that kid.

Looks like whether the fujoshi-baiting was deliberate or not, Sunrise is definitely having fun with it now. All those hair-tossing and underwear shots of Bunny - not to mention the tortured "Top or bottom?" debate in the elevator...

Interesting reaction from Blue Rose at the end. What is the use of a secret identity when you don't change clothes Kotetsu.
I do have to wonder if Blue Rose is another one who is quasi-mentored by Tiger. I have a feeling the reason why she joined the hero biz is connected to him.
Oh Mr. Legend is The Cape. The very first hero of Sternbild city.

Lol, Bunny sure is adept at keeping his public image going.
Tiger on the other hand just seems to do terrible at being "fake" whether its in a simulation or for the script.
Love how they resolved the bomb issue. Their powers are based on physical strength, so brute forcing it once in a while is something Bunny-chan needs to get used to.

Heh, another good episode emphasizes on the heroic traits of Kotetsu and Barnaby. Lulz at crappy reality shows and stupid paparazzis following Barnaby and keeping tabs to his daily activities even to his house as opposite to poor Kotetsu. Kids being lined-up for asking Barnaby's signature while Kotetsu forces kids to take his cards for free lmao. It also made me grin when the bearded reporter guy asking where does Barnaby usually pick up girls from the streets. Reminded me of my office hours... Somehow I didn't like the Bunny joke in this episode.
This show is definitely targeted to adults and enjoyable so far. Next week is Blue Rose. hmmm fanservice..

Really liked this episode and how they solved the bomb problem.
Overall I'm liking the premise and the characters. Bunny is starting to grow on me as it seems he thinks very tactically and seems to have some military background or something of the like.

Geelong Sparkles As Harry Melges' Star Takes The Lead
30 January 2014
Three races deeper into the 12 race Gill Melges 24 World Championship 2014 and the visitors unsurprisingly continue to dictate terms.
After the completion of race six in the 10-12 knot sou'easter, Harry Melges' STAR and crew Andy Burdick, Jeff Ecklund and Federico Michetti, sailing for New York and Lauderdale yacht clubs, are lead boat and have created some breathing space.
Chris Larson's Cavallino/McLube is five points off Melges on 14, a 10th in race four denting yesterday's pointscore leader's chance for an encore.
Third overall at the series midway point is Flavio Favini's Blu Moon with 17 points and fourth is Riccardo Simoneschi's Audi with 19 points.
The top three on the ladder are all past Melges 24 world champions.
Favini and the Blu Moon team are one of the longest running and most successful Melges 24 crews in the world.
On today's better performance Favini said, "We had a good day, we sailed well".
Favini has been taught that fifty percent of a race is determined by the start. This is small field compared to class events in the northern hemisphere, but still you could walk across the start line traversing the decks of the tightly packed bunch.
"The start happens very quickly and at times a small difference in the positioning at launching makes a huge difference. It's the most chaotic moment, and it's fun," said Favini.
The second pressure point is the first top mark rounding where the jury, the eyes and ears of the race committee, lie in wait for the chaos to unfold and ready to point the red flag.
So far Favini's crew has avoided a collision. "We try to avoid it but it happens. That's boat racing," he laughed.
During this world championship most of the professional international crews head off early after a sausage in bread and cold beer at Royal Geelong Yacht Club. Nights are quiet so the crew is rested.
"We are having dinner at home, we cook for ourselves and we eat anything but mostly Italian…pasta of course… and fish. We like the seafood here," Favini added.
Nathan Wilmot's Melges Asia Pacific Kaito heads up the best placed Australian team in seventh overall from 26 starters.
Doing bow for Nathan is his wife Shona, one of a handful of women contesting the world championship in the high-end sports boat class.
She says there are fewer opportunities for women among the Australian keelboat scene because the boats are so physically demanding.
"There's not as much room in keelboat racing to have a good role on a boat these days. The Melges 24s are good because there are five on the boat and everyone has an important role," Shona said.
"Being up the front is very task focused. Most of the time I have no idea where we are on the racecourse, where we started and where we finished."
Lucy Simoneschi does the bow on the Italian based Melges 24 Audi and her husband Riccardo helms. Europe offers more openings to professional women sailors, but still she says women have to work twice as hard to be fully accepted at the elite level.
"If you are very passionate and happy to dedicate a lot of time to sailing you can have opportunities," Lucy said this afternoon after racing. "You have to put twice the time in as a man to be accepted. You have to really train and work a lot."
Audi is well-positioned in fourth and Lucy says they are problem free, though would like the wind dial turned up.
Robin Deussen's Red Mist from South Australia put in another fine effort to be ninth overall and again the top placed Corinthian boat, which means there are no professionals among the crew.
Watches could be almost set with the reliable Corio Bay afternoon sea breeze. Between 1pm and 2pm in the summer the sou'easter floats in from Limeburners Point, filling Stingaree Bay to the east and then Corio Bay proper.
Today Melges 24 crews milled around to the north of the bay during a short postponement prior to the commencement of racing then right on cue the breeze filtered in.
A hoodoo on the third and final race continued on day two, the fleet general recalled by PRO Hank Stuart twice and allowed through the gate at the third attempt.
The day began in the dark for the No Comment and Zinzi Silver Jewels crew and the youngest competitors at these worlds.
Ten year old Zac Heyes from Outrage-us and 15 year-old Harley Walters from Melges Asia Pacific Kaito were on national television early this morning for a prime time weather cross with Channel 7's Sunrise program. In the background, demonstrating the manoeuvrability of the class, No Comment and Zinzi were going through their paces for the camera.
There were some new additions to the look of the fleet today, country flag stickers on each mainsail and backstay flags indicating the current divisional leaders that will be presented each morning at the daily competitor's briefing held at the host club.

Well this is very important because stealthed units not on guard were not responding to enemies properly
I used to play CaC ZH on LAN in ancients times, then i get bored and made semi-realistic semi-gameplay oriented mod inspired with Operation Flashpoint. I never played Original CaC ZH from that moment. This is the modification that completely overhauls the gameplay and maybe even RTS style, it does not add new content. I decided to upload it now, i still play it sometimes and it still, despite how old CaC ZH is fun. So what is this mod all about? It brings faster and more action oriented gameplay. For example: tanks are expensive and can shoot halfway across the map, but only slowly and inacurrately. Infantry is concealed while not moving or shooting, being spotted only from short range. Rocket infantry has short range AP rockets which destroy most tanks in 1 hit. MG fire deals almost no dmg to tanks, deals splash damage to infantry. Now taking cover behind buildings or terrain, using spotters, kiters, stealth was brought to new extent.
Well this is very important because stealthed units not on guard were not responding to enemies properly
