Paid sick leave has multiple uses, but most commonly, it allows workers to stay home when they are sick without losing needed pay. Employers also may allow paid sick days to be used to care for family members, to receive regular preventive checkups from the doctor, or to allow victims of domestic violence to address their health and safety needs. This policy contributes to longterm health, workplace productivity and minimizes the spread of illness' and the flu in public places.
Generally, under sick leave provisions, an employee is entitled to certain number of days a year as paid leave for health-related issues or they may accrue hours of sick leave according to the number of hours worked. Some policies are pro-rated for part-time employees. Under some sick leave provisions, employees can accumulate leave from year to year.
Sick leave provisions vary by country, state and even industry. Many high-income economies require employers to provide paid sick days upwards of 10 days, including: the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands and Singapore. The United States has no federal requirements to allow for the sickness and health of its workforce.
Sick leave has its origins in trade union campaigns for its inclusion in industrial agreements. In Australia, it was introduced into "industrial awards" in 1922
Under the Federal Governments industrial relations legislation (WorkChoices) eligible employees are entitled to:
Paid personal/carer's leave can be taken:
Up to ten days of paid personal/carer's leave in any given year can be used as carer's leave and personal/carer's leave is cumulative
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) specifies that all employees who are sick for a period longer than 4 consecutive days but less than 28 days are eligible to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) paid by their employer. There are some exceptions including:
If the individual is unable to work due to medical reasons for longer than the 28 days, they may be entitled to Incapacity Benefit.
Receipt of SSP for a period of longer than 7 days is dependent upon a valid Sick Note from a physician being presented to the employer.

Ben Saunders compares challenges of TUF, Bellator tournaments - Five Ounces of Pain : Five Ounces of Pain
Saunders recently spoke with Fightline in relation to his Season 8 semifinal scrap tonight at Bellator 90 against Raul Amaya where addressed the debate, pointing to each endeavor as being arduous but not in the same way.
I would have to say they were both tougher in different areas. TUF was crazy living together, and above all not knowing who you would be fighting or when you would be fighting until 24-48 hours ahead of time. That made weight cutting (which I never did before but once) and gameplan preparations a real hardship. But I enjoyed my time on the show and saw it as a vacation and seminar experience, loving most of all of the time spent there, knowing it was such an amazing opportunity to be chosen. I felt very honored, and fortunate to be there, and hardly saw any negative even in the grueling times, explained Saunders. As for Bellator I feel its just a more professional approach in that we know who, when, and where we are fighting ahead of time. We get to prepare like professionals with our own teams. But I do feel it is harder as the level in competition surpasses that of my time on TUF.
With Bellator ready to enter the world of reality television later this year, Saunders also added that hes interested in seeing how his current employers product differs from TUF.
I dont know the format or how it is being shot or filmed. I believe they are trying a different more professional approach, trying to keep it about the fighting, training, and sport. As opposed to knuckle heads looking to get famous by, arguing, drinking, or fighting outside the cage, said Saunders. Drama sells, but so does the sport, so I am definitely interested to see what it is all about, once it airs.

I am going to Computer Information Technology, which explains my interest in Microsoft. On January 14th I will start my training in Cisco 1, other than that I work for my school in the tech department and fix everyday problems

Does this photo get your attention? This is heaven on a plate. I wouldn't lie to you...
Todays' recipe comes from my cousin.. Thank you, Ursula, for showing me how to make this recipe. This will be a special dessert that I will make again and again.
My husband and I spent a day at my cousin's home in the Los Altos Hills area, near the Silicon Valley (home of Google and Apple).
Her home is a shangri la, privately nestled in the hills with a beautiful view of Palo Alto and surrounding cities. As a little girl, I used to spend a few days at Ursula's little piece of Bavaria-- swimming in her pool, anxiously waiting for her delicious food and enjoying her sense of humor. I hope to grow as young as she is, in her respectful age of 70-something. In many ways, she's far younger than I am... she walks 5 miles a day, still skiis and...would you believe this...
She trims her own fruit trees, harvest them and preserves them. She does not have a housekeeper, a pool person nor a gardener-- though she could afford it, if she wanted to! She does all of this herself!
Let's go into her kitchen and I'll share with all of you how she makes this recipe:
Isn't her Bavarian "nook" cute? Her father built it, bless his heart. As a kid, living in Germany, I adored visit him and his wife-- who was also an amazing cook and baker. They are both gone now, but not forgotten.
Ursula's recipe is hand written, in German. She gave us U.S. measurements, but she prefers to use this measuring beaker. Note to self: get one! I've seen them on King Arthur Flour and Amazon.com. You can easily convert to metric and vice versa.
First, for the crust. This is her Dr. Oetker spring form pan. It has many years of baking, and is still going strong.
First, she dumps her dry ingredients on a board, to make the crust. (Flour, butter, sugar, egg yolks and vanilla sugar)...
Then, she makes a well and add the egg yolks and butter...
...and she blends the wet with her dry, with her fingers (Me, I'm thinking "food processor")
With practiced hands, the dough comes together faster than I can hit "pulse" on my food processor...
This took no time for her at all! She did not overwork the dough...
Now, she rolls the dough (dontchya love her Dough Boy T-Shirt?)
She does not like being photographed, but I need to show you the face of the person whose hands are doing all the work. I love you, Ursula! You look just fine. Believe me.
Now, she pats the dough and brings the edges up a little higher (this will be filled with fruit and a cream topping, so you want the dough to accommodate that). I marvel at how fast she is at this-- less than five minutes and she's ready for the apricots.
First, she spoons a thin layer of apricot jam. She says this prevents the crust from getting soggy. I've been doing this, ever since she first showed me, and I love it! She prys open the apricots, removes the pits and cuts them into quarters-- filling the pan. She used approximately 15 apricots. (Peaches would be delicious, too, I remarked...and she agreed). She also added that blueberries do very well with this recipe.
Nature called, so I missed out on photographing her using a hand mixer to blend the sour cream, heavy cream, whole eggs, sugar and the lemon rind. Yes, I washed my hands-- in a hurry, not to miss out.
I arrived just in time to photograph her pouring the cream topping in. OMG, this looks so good! Into the oven at 350F, it went for about 55 minutes. In the meantime, I jumped into the pool for some exercise... so that I could enjoy this, guilt-free.
How beautiful is this?
This tart should be cooled for at least an hour, and then refrigerated for the cream to "set".
Here's my oldest brother and my husband (on the right) looking anxious to taste this. Okay, so was I...but I'm the photographer. Craig is also tired, because he went on a 5-mile fast hike with Ursula's daughter (who is also camera shy) in one hour!
It did not matter, one bit, that this was still warm. It was incredibly good. The vanilla in the crust and the cream topping, with a hint of lemon was so good!
Ursula chuckled every time she saw me zooming in, with my camera, to photograph her dessert. Ursula, I hope that I did you justice on how to make this.
I cannot wait to make this myself! I'm off to World Mart to buy vanilla sugar. You could make your own, but she says she substitutes 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract if she's out of the vanilla sugar. Don't skip this! This is what makes the crust go "mmmmmmmm".
From my German cousin to your kitchen-- baked with love,

Hi, is the reel anodized?
Travis Tzioumis
this outfit comes with the Redington Surge reel which is not anodized.

Hey William,
It comes with a Surge reel pre-spooled with RIO Mainstream WF fly line.

Best way to describe this rod is "gentle." It offers the power of a 5 weight but, when mending the line, offers the control of a 4 weight. I gave this outfit four stars because I really feel like Redington should have included a better quality reel. Overall, the package is a good buy. - Rod is spectacular.

Jaguar unveils its M5 rival: the XFR-S
Say hello to the fastest and most powerful Jaguar saloon ever
Posted: 28 Nov 2012
Last week, we showed you the headlight and a bit of the front grille of the Jaguar XFR-S. And now we have more from the unveiling at the LA Motor Show. Lots more. So reach into your top drawer and grab your dedicated number cruncher, because here come the stats.
Let's talk power and torque. Power in the new car is up 40bhp over the XFR, and torque 41ft lbs, bringing the grand total to 550bhp and 501ft lbs from the 5.0-litre supercharged V8. Amazingly, this boost in power hasn't had an impact on the fuel consumption and emissions as they're still 24.4mpg and 270 g/km.
But numbers like this put it toe-to-toe with Stig's favourite sideways saloon, the BMW M5. The Jag will hit 62mph in just 4.4 seconds (just 0.1 seconds slower than the M5), and it will go a lot faster: the XFR-S is limited to 186mph, where the M5 has its reins pulled in at 155mph.
The Jags eight-speed transmission comes packaged with tech developed for the impending F-Type called 'Quickshift'. Quickshift aims to get you the quickest and crispest shifts when you want them by anlaysing road conditions, throttle and steering input. If you're being a bit lairy, it'll throw cogs at you like Donkey Kong throwing barrels, but if you're being a bit more relaxed and gentle with the throttle it will change the shift to something a bit smoother and lower down the rev band.
Frankly, if it's anything like the last car to get the R-S treatment from Jaguar Land Rover's specialist ETO division, the XKR-S, you'll be shifting hard. The fast XK is rightly lauded for its glorious noise, and in the XFR-S they've replaced the silencer from the standard car with an X-piece and near straight-through rear pipes. Expect that characteristic crackle on the overrun.
As we found out last month, Jag spend hours and hours pounding around the Nurburgring to improve the dynamics of the car. So avert your ears Mr May, but the car's now 30 per cent stiffer, got a re-designed rear sub-frame, bigger brakes and wheels and a new set of rubber. The steering has also been given bits from the upcoming F-Type.
And the new power Jaaaag looks good doesn't it? Aggressive, sharp and poised. And that angry aesthetic has purpose. The Johnny Bravo-sized chin helps provide adequate airflow into the engine bay, the side mouldings clean the air up around the car and the carbon fiber diffuser helps keep it stuck to the ground. These aero additions have made the XFR-S want to take off 68 per cent less than an XFR. Which is a lot. Oh, and the rear wing? In the UK we'll get the bigger one (the one pictured that makes it look like it's ready for 1000 miles around Bathurst) as standard, but if that's a bit too brash for you, you can spec a smaller one.
Inside there's lots more carbon – even carbon effect leather, to further annoy May.
It goes on sale next May for £79,995. Would you have it over a BMW M5, dot commers?

Barrow Raiders fall to Doncaster defeat with pictures & video highlights
Last updated at 16:13, Monday, 11 February 2013
- Barrow Raiders v Doncaster Video Highlights Click Here
LIFE in the Championship continues to be tough for Barrow Raiders as they lost their 19-month unbeaten home run on a dour afternoon at Craven Park.
On a day when the atmosphere on the terraces and the play on the field reflected the weather – damp and heavy – Doncaster became the first side since Halifax in July 2011 to come away with the points from a trip to Furness.
It was an afternoon to forget on the terraces, where a crowd of just 876 witnessed a game that at best could be described as 'one for the connoisseur'.
The conditions did not allow for anything resembling open rugby, the summer game a long way away from the start of the season in a wet February.
Both teams were forced to shove it up their jumper and drive it up the middle of the park – something Barrow did well for the most part, but it was Doncaster who had that little bit extra at the end of their sets to push them up to the Barrow line.
Paul Cooke's kicking game kept Barrow pinned back for long spells – in the first nine minutes they had only one set to Doncaster's six and were made to concede three drop-outs by the wily half-back.
In contrast, Sean Casey – so impressive on his debut last week and one of the few highlights against Hunslet – was unable to recreate his form in hard conditions, finding the Doncaster man too often on the full.
When he made them turn around, Casey's kicking was a menace and allowed Raiders to contain the Dons in their own half, but it was not as regular an occurrence as seven days previously, whereas Cooke and his team-mates rarely failed at all.
Driving up the middle, Barrow matched their visitors for 80 minutes and they were much-improved on their opening-day loss to Hunslet, they just cut not find the final touch.
Cooke's probing grubbers, holding up in the mud, gave the visitors the upper-hand early on and several times they went close to opening the scoring.
Kyle Kesik and Chris Spurr were both stopped within inches of going in for a score – Spurr in the corner on the last tackle of four back-to-back sets before Barrow had even touched the ball.
Cooke showed his ability with ball in hand too, breaking the Raiders line and sending Craig Fawcett away, only for Liam Campbell to appear on the scene and brilliantly haul him to ground.
The defensive resilience paid off in spades as Barrow finally found a way into the visitors' half, with Mike Whitehead making a fine forceful run to push them up to the line.
The next play saw Casey take the ball and skip a neat inside pass from near the line into the hands of Dan Toal, who dived over for his first of the season.
Whitehead was close to scoring himself as he barged through and was stopped just shy of the whitewash, while the Dons went closest as winger Dennis Tuffour was tackled into touch right by the corner flag by Max Wiper and Adam Clay.
The remainder of the first half was more huff and puff, neither team looking like scoring and the middle of the park taking a real pounding as it morphed from grass into mud.
The second half went mostly the same way, but for several key moments.
The first was just three minutes in as a Campbell kick on the last tackle was charged down on halfway by Castleford loan signing James Clare, who hacked it on twice and outpaced the cover to ground just before the ball went dead.
Bobbie Goulding Junior added the conversion to put the Dons into a lead they would not relinquish.
They might have done had Campbell's chip to the corner been reached by Chris Larkin ahead of Tuffour, or if Toal's take of Casey's chip near the posts had not been ruled offside by the touch judge as he was leaping to pluck the ball from the air and ground between the sticks.
Those two moments could have switched the momentum, but they were the last real chances Barrow had.
Instead, the final half-hour was a real slog, punctuated by two tries, each with its own moment of controversy.
The first came as Goulding – on dual-registration from Wakefield – finished off a move which carved a hole in the Barrow defence with what seemed a blatant double movement as he went down on his knees in a tackle and then moved the ball over the line.
The second saw the Dons break down the left wing, with a dubious pass to Lee Waterman was allowed to go and then Clay looked to have him tackled five metres short of the line, only for the full-back to ignore the man on his legs, stand up and walk in.
Referee Gareth Hewer saw neither a forward pass nor a completed tackle and it was his decision that was final as the points were added.
The final five minutes were back in the old routine, forward battling forward and neither side giving an inch.
The determination was there all afternoon from Barrow, but the crucial cutting edge was not and they need that little bit extra on the end of their moves if they are to turn guts and effort into points this year.
Barrow Raiders Starting XIII: Dean McGilvray, Adam Clay, Max Wiper, Aaron Low, Chris Larkin, Sean Casey, Liam Campbell, Brad Brennan, Nathan Mossop, Mike Whitehead, Liam Harrison, Kurt Haggerty, Dan Toal.
Substitutes (all used): Liam Finch, Andrew Dawson, Danny Jones, Matthew Haggarty.
Doncaster RLFC Starting XIII: Lee Waterman, Dennis Tuffour, Dan Cowling, James Clare, Liam Kay, Paul Cooke, Craig Fawcett, Mark Castle, Kyle Kesik, Brett Waller, Mike Kelly, Chris Spurr, Bobbie Goulding Jnr.
Substitutes (all used): Mike Emmett, Grant Edwards, Matt Carbutt, Craig Robinson.
Referee: Gareth Hewer (Whitehaven).
Attendance: 876.
10 MINUTES: Dan Toal try, 4-0.
43 MINUTES: James Clare try, Bobbie Goulding Jnr conversion, 4-6.
69 MINUTES: Goulding try, 4-10.
74 MINUTES: Lee Waterman try, 4-14.

Have your say
Good old Cuffy,the man!with the silly name.I wondered how long it would be before groundsharing raises its head again-happens every time the rugby find themselves struggling.And Cuffy,that Barrow Soccer hater-had to mention it first.
For once juvenile John, I actually agree with you, both teams should ground share at a new probably 6-8000 stadium, built on the same principles that Warrington have where half of ground is seated and other half is standing.
And for what it's worth, any extra support from fans even just at finals is still support and should not be knocked.

If I remember rightly, The Last Continent is also packed with the more direct jokes and Oz references. I can't quite remember if there was any more depth to it, but it's definately one I'd go back to again. Though I appreciate use of imagery in a book, parhaps that is it's saving grace.

Welcome to the Department of Economics at Wright State University!
The Department of Economics provides inquisitive and capable students with excellent academic programs in the field of economics that prepare graduates for rewarding careers in business, government, or nonprofits. The curriculum of each program also develops each student's capacity for lifelong learning in order for them to achieve career advancement and to adapt effectively to our rapidly changing world.
In this website, you can learn about our programs, faculty, students, and alumni. We also post updates on departmental activities and other information about our department here. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have by clicking on the Contact tab above.
Economics is the study of how resources are used and how to make the best use of available resources. Economics students learn to make decisions that are vital to the success of businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, households, and for society as a whole. By using information on costs, income, available resources, and other important factors, economics graduates can (among many other things):
- choose the production level, price, and mix of resources that will achieve the highest profit for a business
- determine the highest impact use of a nonprofit's resources
- assist governments in finding the most effective way to satisfy public needs
- help a family determine the best use of their budget
- judge proposed solutions for important social problems
By providing a logical and ordered way of looking at problems and issues faced by businesses, other organizations, or society as a whole, the field of economics helps students develop critical thinking skills that are useful in many professions. Studying economics prepares students for a wider array of occupations than other majors. This versatility is highly valued in today's constantly changing world and is demonstrated by our graduates' ability to pursue careers in the career fields of economics, finance, government, management, and marketing, among others. Click on the Career Opportunities tab above to see lists that illustrate the extensive range of both employers and occupations in which our department's graduates have recently been placed.
Degree Programs
In our academic programs, we first stress the development of a strong understanding of economic theory and teach the critical thinking skills that allow students to analyze a wide array of economic problems. Students are then taught how to apply these skills to solve the practical problems faced by businesses, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations world-wide. A key distinguishing feature of our economics department is the extensive diversity of our faculty's research and teaching interests, which expose our students to many different economic topics and a wide ranging collection of methods for exploring and evaluating those topics. We strive to develop inquisitive minds that are committed not only to the well-being of the organizations that employ them, but also to the social and economic welfare of their community. We are working to generate a forward-thinking educational experience in which students grow, both personally and professionally, so that our current and future alumni are positioned to be and expected to be responsible and productive members of our society.
The Department of Economics at Wright State is committed to providing a great education for intellectually curious students who wish to pursue a fulfilling career using economics. At the undergraduate level, we offer two bachelor's degree programs, a minor, and a certificate. At the graduate level, we offer a Master of Science degree. They are:
Undergraduate Programs
- The Bachelor of Arts in Economics degree (through the College of Liberal Arts) – Designed for those who want to major in Economics while also studying other liberal arts fields, particularly other social sciences. Due to the smaller number of college level course requirements than our other bachelor's degree program, students in the B.A. in Economics program can more easily pursue a second major or minor. Graduates of the B.A. in Economics program generally target careers in federal, state, or local government, the nonprofit sector, and business. In addition, graduates of this program have been successful at pursuing further study at the Master's and Doctoral level in economics, law, business administration, or other fields.
- The Bachelor of Science in Business with a major in Business Economics degree (through the Raj Soin College of Business) – Designed for students who want to major in Economics with a special focus on all the functional areas of business administration. Graduates of the B.S.B. – Business Economics program generally pursue careers in business economics/analytics, marketing analysis, finance, and management. As with the B.A. in Economics, graduates of this program have successfully sought advanced degrees in economics, law, and business administration.
- The Minor in Economics – For undergraduates who want to complete a concentrated set of coursework in Economics. Business students can complete this major by taking three upper level economics courses in addition to the economics courses already required of all business students.
- The Certificate in Economic Issues – For undergraduate students who wish to study topical issues in economics without taking advanced economics courses.
Graduate Program
- The Master of Science in Social and Applied Economics degree – A unique and well-respected graduate degree program that blends applied economics coursework that is common to most master's degree programs in economics with social economics coursework. Graduates of this program are frequently positioned in careers in which their strong economic analysis abilities are used to make them valuable members of business, nonprofit, or government organizations. Some graduates have continued their education by pursuing doctoral degrees in economics or finance.
Dual Degree and combined Programs with the M.S. in Social and Applied Economics – Students have the opportunity to earn an M.S. in Social and Applied Economics along with a second degree with fewer credit hours than are required of the two programs separately. These degree programs are:
- The Combined B.A. in Economics – M.S. in Social and Applied Economics Program
- The Combined B.S.B in Business Economics – M.S. in Social and Applied Economics Program
- The Dual M.S. in Social and Applied Economics – Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) Program
- The Dual M.S. in Social and Applied Economics – Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.) Program
Please contact the Department of Economics to learn the specific requirements for these dual degree and combined programs.

You've seen our prototype drive. You've seen an Italian make it go fast. You've seen the teaser sketch. Now there's this - the official Honda Civic Type R concept, released today at the Geneva motor show.
Honda Civic Type R revealed
Hot hatch concept has more than 280bhp, and will get round the 'Ring in less than eight mins…
But unlike some of the more far-fetched concepts you'll see at this year's Swiss exhibition, Honda says this design study 'strongly hints' at the production version, which it's promising in 2015.
You want specs? You can't handle the specs. The new Type R will be the first model in Europe to feature the company's brand-spanking VTEC turbo engine. It'll come as a 2.0-litre, direct injection, four-cylinder unit that'll make at least 280bhp and be Euro 6 compliant. Blimey.
So, what about that Veneno-lite styling? Honda says it offers real performance benefits, which it's actually tested - the front and rear spoilers adds downforce, the vertical side wings and vents in the front bumper help to reduce drag and control airflow around the front tyres, and the front grilles have been enlarged for better cooling. The front and rear wings have also been pulled out to accommodate bigger wheels.
Then there's the company's bravest announcement yet. That the production version it previews will lap the Nordschleife faster than any front-wheel drive car in the history of EVER. Faster, even, than the Seat Leon Cupra's sub-eight-minute effort we announced yesterday.
We're looking forward to this one...

The color box at right shows the most intense yellow representable in in 8-bit RGB color model; yellow is a secondary color in an additive RGB space.
The measured light spectrum from yellow pixels on a typical computer display is complex, and very unlike the reflectance spectrum of a yellow object such as a banana.
Process yellow (also known as pigment yellow, printer's yellow or canary yellow) is one of the three colors typically used as subtractive primary colors, along with magenta and cyan. The CMYK system for color printing is based on using four inks, one of which is a yellow color. This is in itself a standard color, and a fairly narrow range of yellow inks or pigments are used. Process yellow is based on a colorant that reflects the preponderance of red and green light, and absorbs most blue light, as in the reflectance spectra shown in the figure on the lower right.
Because of the characteristics of paint pigments and use of different color wheels, painters traditionally regard the complement of yellow as the color indigo or blue-violet.
Process yellow is not an RGB color, and there is no fixed conversion from CMYK primaries to RGB. Different formulations are used for printer's ink, so there can be variations in the printed color that is pure yellow ink.
Hunt defines that "two colors are complementary when it is possible to reproduce the tristimulus values of a specified achromatic stimulus by an additive mixture of these two stimuli." That is, when two colored lights can be mixed to match a specified white (achromatic, non-colored) light, the colors of those two lights are complementary. This definition, however, does not constrain what version of white will be specified. In the nineteenth century, the scientists Grassmann and Helmholtz did experiments in which they concluded that finding a good complement for spectral yellow was difficult, but that the result was indigo, that is, a wavelength that today's color scientists would call violet. Helmholtz says "Yellow and indigo blue" are complements. Grassman reconstructs Newton's category boundaries in terms of wavelengths and says "This indigo therefore falls within the limits of color between which, according to Helmholtz, the complementary colors of yellow lie. Newton's own color circle has yellow directly opposite the boundary between indigo and violet. These results, that the complement of yellow is a wavelength shorter than 450 nm, are derivable from the modern CIE 1931 system of colorimetry if it is assumed that the yellow is about 580 nm or shorter wavelength, and the specified white is the color of a blackbody radiator of temperature 2800 K or lower (that is, the white of an ordinary incandescent light bulb). More typically, with a daylight-colored or around 5000 to 6000 K white, the complement of yellow will be in the blue wavelength range, which is the standard modern answer for the complement of yellow.

The Patrician of Ankh-Morpork smiled, but with
his mouth only.
"The Hub Gate, you say?' he murmured.
The guard captain saluted smartly. "Aye, lord. We
had to shoot the horse before he would stop.'
'Which, by a fairly direct route, brings you here,'
said the Patrician, looking down at Rincewind.
"And what have you got to say for yourself?'
It was rumoured that an entire wing of the
Patrician's palace was filled with clerks who spent
their days collating and updating all the
information collected by their maSter's exquisitely organized
spy system. Rincewind didn't doubt it. He' glanced
towards the balcony that ran down one side of the
audience room. A sudden run, a nimble jump - a
sudden hail of crossbow quarrels. He shuddered.
The Patrician cradled his chins in a beringed
hand, and regarded the wizard with eyes as small
and hard as beads.
"Let me see,' he said. "Oathbreaking, the theft of a
horse, uttering false coinage - yes, I think it's the
Arena for you, Rincewind.'
This was too much.
"i didn't steal the horse! I bought it fairly!'
"But with false coinage. Technical theft, you see.'
"But those rhinu are solid gold!'
"Rhinu?' The Patrician rolled one of them around
in his thick fingers. "is that what they are called?
How interesting. But, as you point out, they are not
very similar to dollars . . .'
.Well, of course they're not-'
'Ah you admit it, then?'
Rincewind opened his mouth to speak, thought
better of it, and shut it again.
.Quite so. And on top of these there is, of course, the
moral obloquy attendant on the cowardly betrayal
of a visitor to this shore. For shame, Rincewind! ' The Patrician waved a
hand vaguely. The guards
behind Rincewind backed away, and their captain
took a few paces to the right. Rincewind suddenly
felt very alone.
It is said that when a wizard is about to die Death
himself turns up to claim him ( instead of delegating
the task to a subordinate, such as Disease or
Famine, as is usually the case). Rincewind looked
around nervously for a tall figure in black( wizards,
even failed wizards, have in addition to rods and
cones in their eyeballs the tiny octagons that enable
them to see into the far octarine, the basic colour of
which all other colours are merely pale shadows
impinging on normal four-dimensional space. It is
said to be a sort of fluorescent greenish-yellow
Was that a flickering shadow in the corner?
'Of course,' said the Patrician, "i could be
merciful.' The shadow disappeared. Rincewind looked up
an expression of insane hope on his face.
'Yes?' he said.
The Patrician waved a hand again. Rincewind
saw the guards leave the chamber. Alone with the
"lord of the twin cities, he almost wished they
would come back.
"Come hither, Rincewind,' said the Patrician. He
indicated a bowl of savouries on a low onyx table by
the throne. "Would you care for a crystallised
jellyfish? No'. "Um ' said RinceWind,
"Now I want you to listen very carefully to what I
am about to say,' said the Patrician amiably,
'otherwise you will die. In an interesting fashion.
Over a period. Please stop fidgetting like that.
"Since you are a wizard of sorts, you are of course
aware that we live upon a world shaped, as it were,
like a disc? And that there is said to exist, towards
the far rim, a continent which though small is equal
in weight to all the mighty landmasses in this
hemicircle? And that this, according to ancient legend, is
because it is largely made of gold?'
Rincewind nodded. Who hadn't heard of the
Counterweight Continent? Some sailors even
believed the childhood tales and sailed in search of it.
Of course, they returned either empty handed or not
at all. Probably eaten by giant turtles, in the
opinion of more serious mariners. Because, of
course, the Counterweight Continent was nothing
more than a solar myth.
"it does, of course, exist,' said the Patrician
"Although it is not made of gold, it is true that gold is
a very common metal there. Most of the mass is
made up by vast deposits of octiron deep within the
crust. Now it will be obvious to an incisive mind like
yours that the existence of the Counterweight
Continent poses a deadly threat to our people
here' he paused, looking at Rincewind's open
mouth. He sighed. He said, do you by some chance
fail to follow me?'
"Yarrg, said Rincewind. He swallowed, and
licked his lips. "i mean, no. I mean - well, gold . . .'
"i see,' said the Patrician sweetly. "You feel,
perhaps, that it would be a marvellous thing to go to
the Counterweight Continent and bring back a
shipload of gold?'
Rincewind had a feeling that some sort of trap
was being set.
''Yes?' he ventured.
'And if' every man on the shores of the Circle Sea
had a mountain of gold of his own? Would that be a
good thing? What would happen? think carefully.'
Rincewind's brow furrowed. He thought. "We'd all
be rich?' The way the temperature fell at his remark told
him that it was not the correct one.
"i may as well tell you, Rincewind, that there is
some contact between the Lords of the Circle Sea
and the Emperor of the Agatean Empire, as it is
Styled,' the Patrician went on. it is only very slight
There is little common ground between us. We have
nothing they want, and they have nothing we can
afford. It is an old Empire, Rincewind. Old and
cunning and cruel and very, very rich. So we
exchange fraternal greetings by albatross mail. At
infrequent intervals.
"one such letter arrived this morning. A subject of
the Emperor appears to have taken it into his head
to visit our city. It appears he wishes to look at it.
Only a madman would possibly undergo all the
privationS of crossing the Turnwise Ocean in order
to merely look at anything. However.
he landed this morning. He might have met a
great hero, or the cunningest of thieves, or some
wise and great sage. He met you. He has employed
you as a guide. You will be a guide, Rincewind, to
thiS looker, this Twoflower. You will see that' he
returns home with a good report of our little
homeland. What do you say to that?'
"Er. Thank you, lord,' said Rincewind miserably.
"There iS another point, of course. It would be a
tragedy should anything untoward happen to our
little visitor. It would be dreadful if he were to die,
for example. Dreadful for the whole of our land,
because the Agatean Emperor looks after his own
and could certainly extinguish us at a nod. A mere
nod. And that would be dreadful for you, Rincewind,
because in the weeks that remained before the
Empire's huge mercenary fleet arrived certain of
my servants would occupy themselves about your
person in the hope that the avenging captains, on
their arrival, might find their anger tempered by
the sight of your still-living body. There are certain
spells that can prevent the life departing from a
body,be it never so abused, and- i see by your face
that understanding dawns?'
"I beg your pardon?'
"Yes, lord. I'll, er, see to it, I mean, I'll endeavour to
see, I mean, well, I'll try to look after him and see he
comes to no harm.' And after that I'll get a job
juggling snowballs through Hell, he added bitterly
in the privacy of his own skull.
"Capital! I gather already that you and Twoflower
are on the best of terms. An excellent beginning
When he returns safely to his homeland you will not
find me ungrateful. I shall probably even dismiss
the charges against you. Thank you, Rincewind.
You may go.'
Rincewind decided not to ask for the return of his
five remaining rhinu. He backed away, cautiously.
"oh, and there is one other thing,' the Patrician
said, as the wizard groped for the door handles.
"Yes, lord?' he replied, with a sinking heart.
"i'm sure you won't dream of trying to escape from
your obligations by fleeing the city. I judge you to be
a born city person. But you may be sure that the
lords of the other cities will be appraised of these
conditions by nightfall.'
"i assure you the thought never even crossed my
mind, lord.'
"indeed? Then if I were you I'd sue my face for slander"
Gorphal picked up the parchment and raised one eyebrow slightly when he saw the familiar ideograms of the Golden Empire.

WORTHINGTON – 41-year-old Jose Bonilla pleaded guilty in Nobles County District Court Monday to one charge of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, entering into a plea agreement that had three other charges dismissed.
The agreement calls for a stay of execution of the state guidelines with the condition that Bonilla serve one year in the Nobles County Jail, and up to 15 years probation. He is to submit to a sex offender assessment and follow any recommendations. If deported, his probation would be unsupervised, but if in the United States, it would be supervised.

THE WORD "INFLUENTIAL" means many things. In Portland, the adjective could apply to elected politicians, radio talk-show hosts, and political consultants—all of whom we chose not to name here.
What matters for a city figuring out what it wants to be when it grows up (or if it wants to grow up) isn't influence alone, but how the influential meld their sway with other qualities. Vision. Clout. Judgment. Taste. Connection. Principle. Grit. Gravitas. And—in a time in which another key element, power, can be so fleeting (ask the mayor and the president)—momentum.
Change is at hand. Portland soon will restock city council with fresh faces. The city's old economy continues to sputter, but tech start-ups and small businesses are percolating. Our population is diversifying, as are the markets for everything from our lumber (which China can't get enough of) to our indie rock bands. Huge institutions are redefining themselves for the new era that other, more nimble and youthful enterprises have already begun to create.
With all of this in mind, here are 50 people (including a few groups) we think possess the spark and will to craft Portland's future. (Add your own choices in our ballot form to the left.) We hope you'll agree that this eclectic roster harnesses enough raw energy to influence any city—whatever influence may mean right now.

Feel anxiety roll off your shoulders as you relax under the experienced hands of a professional masseuse at a local spa such as Hana Massage and Spa or the Valley Isle Day Spa.

There's More Than Water to Enjoy When Staying in South Kihei Condos
Vacationing in Maui, and staying in South Kihei condos, puts you in the hub of a variety of activities, certain to entertain vacationers of all ages. Kids might enjoy going to Kalama Beach Park, famous for its 36 acres and activities which include arts and crafts fairs and concerts. You can take in a game of basketball, picnic in a pavilion, scamper around the playground, or make use of the skate park. If you are in the mood to shop, head on over to Azeka Place, the largest shopping center in Kihei, or the Pi'ilani Village Shopping Center. Kihei attractions also include activities for those who enjoy nightlife. Take your pick among dance clubs, sports bars, and karaoke bars for fun entertainment.

Ultra HP
A total of 30 new features and upgrades have been engineered into Holley's new Aluminum Ultra HP carburetor. Most notable are the all-aluminum construction, which makes them 38 percent lighter, and totally redesigned fuel bowls that increase fuel capacity by 20 percent. The fuel bowls incorporate 10 new features including internal baffling to help control fuel slosh, a fuel trough to direct fuel to the jets, and a fuel shelf, which minimizes aeration and promotes more consistent metering. The air bleeds have been moved outward for a smoother transition of airflow into the venturi and contoured hex-head squirter screws have been added for streamlined airflow as well. They're available in an all-new Hard Core Gray hard coat anodized finish with black billet for superior corrosion protection. They're also available in natural tumble-polished aluminum with your choice of black or red metering blocks and base plate and come in 600, 650, 750, 850, and true 950 cfm. For more information, contact Holley at 270.781.9741 or visit them on the web at holley.com.
Locked and Loaded
From the broad range of products by Chris Alston's Chassisworks comes a selection of billet quick-release steering wheel hubs that feature a unique polygon-indexing mechanism with a positive-locking collar latch to create a hub system that eliminates play and is much easier to use than pin-lock designs. The billet steering shaft adapter is designed for welded installation with 0.75-inch ODx0.049-inch wall steering-shaft tubing and features an engraved orientation arrow on the indexing post. A broad spring-loaded hub collar must be manually compressed as the hub is placed onto the shaft adapter and provides a positive click, indicating that the hub is correctly latched. Multiple hub styles are available. Billet hub and adapter sets start at $69. For complete details visit cachassisworks.com or call 888.388.0205.
Quick-Release Extinguisher
A portable fire extinguisher doesn't really make sense if you can't use it quickly and safely in an emergency. Mac's Custom Tie-Downs' new Quick-Release Fire Extinguisher Bracket combines Mac's trademark rugged construction with the convenience of a quick-release tab and the ability to accommodate most standard hand-held extinguishers. Like all Mac's products, the quick-release bracket is made in the USA and features CNC-machined billet aluminum construction and stainless steel hardware. The bracket is available with tubular or panel mounts for use on rollbars, cages, floorpans, or motorhome interiors within easy reach. The aircraft-style ball-detent pin maintains a snug fit for maximum security but can be removed with one hand. Simply pull the pin and you're ready to put out a fire. Order yours at macstiedowns.com or by calling 800.666.1586.
Drop-In Fuel Pump
It's here! Fifth-gen Camaro in-tank Stealth Fuel Systems from Aeromotive. Hot Rod magazine listed the fuel system on these modern muscle cars as one of the "top 10 weak points." In fact, it's recommended that you upgrade your fuel system at 550 hp. The new Camaro system is a complete drop-in, single fuel pump assembly for '10 and later Camaros. The system provides a single A1000 or Eliminator fuel pump capable of supporting big horsepower, and it drops right into your factory tank. It still incorporates the factory jet siphon system, includes an integral 100-micron pre-pump filter, and an ORB-08 return line port. Now you can plumb a true return-style system into your Camaro to support extra power without the worry of the siphon system while maintaining your factory fuel tank. For more information, go to aeromotiveinc.com or call 913.647.7300.
Victory Lane
Introducing the New V Forged lineup of wheels for performance-minded enthusiasts only. Featuring the VF 105 style in three-piece rim construction with the unique V-shaped spokes. These wheels are designed to fit big-brake kits and staggered stance applications. Sizes available range from 18- to 22-inch diameters and widths from 7 to 14 inches. A variety of finishes include high luster, chrome, powdercoated colors, and brushed-satin two-tone. All wheels are custom-built to the customer's requirements and are made in the USA. Visit victorylanegarage.com for details or call them at 877.965.1506.

Why I Teach
My ultimate purpose for teaching is to provide students with a strong frame of reference when joining the business world. Serving as both teacher and mentor, I strive to promote an environment of trust and caring, inside and outside of the classroom.
Taking the lead from my successful superiors and mentors in the business world, I am genuine in my concern for the individual student's success. I strive to establish an environment where students feel comfortable enough to make mistakes, but driven enough to correct them.
