By SHELLEY TERRY - firstname.lastname@example.com
Star Beacon
An Ashtabula man with a lengthy criminal history is accused of cruelty to animals and prohibition of companion animals, resulting in five dogs being confiscated by animal control officers.
Rhamaud Hull, 34, of 3418 Hiawatha Ave., allegedly allowed the dogs to fight at the home, Ashtabula Police Lt. Joseph Cellitti said.
City police executed a search warrant at the address Friday after receiving a tip of dog fighting Thursday, Cellitti said.
Hull was not home at the time of the raid, but police were on the look-out for him. On Monday, Hull appeared in Municipal Court and entered 'not guilty' pleas. A personal recognizance bond was set for $2,250, according to court records.
The animals are being held at the Animal Protective League on Green Road in Kingsville.
Cellitti said three of the five dogs had fresh wounds when police found them in fenced-in pens in the backyard. Police also discovered numerous other items having to do with dog fighting, he said.
Hull's past criminal record includes guilty pleas to dogs at large, vicious dog, possession of drugs, two counts of child endangering, two counts of drug abuse, two counts of driving with no operator's license, driving under suspension, driving with no headlights, attempted possession of cocaine, two counts of criminal trespassing, assault, two counts of obstruction of official business, three counts possession of marijuana and aggravated disorderly conduct, according to Municipal Court records.
He also has been convicted of felony drug-related charges in the past, according to Ashtabula County Common Pleas Court records.

MILLEDGEVILLE — Each year, the U.S. Fulbright Scholar Program provides more than 800 teaching or research grants to professionals in a wide variety of academic and fields. Two Georgia College faculty members will join those ranks during the 2013-2014 academic year.
Dr. Carol Christy and Dr. Joe Mocnik will travel abroad during the next year to teach and research on their respective subjects.
Mocnik, who is the director of the library, will visit the University of Rijeka in Croatia during fall 2013.
"I am looking forward to this experience as I will be teaching a course on American history at the university and conducting research," said Mocnik. "It will allow me to broaden my teaching skills, research knowledge and network among colleagues. It also will be a great opportunity to promote Georgia College and our programs."
Fulbright Scholar grants are available in more than 125 countries worldwide according to The Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES), the scholar division of the Institute of International Education.
Education professor Dr. Carol Christy will spend the spring 2014 semester at the University of Alberta in Canada.
"This is really an amazing opportunity," said Christy. "I have wanted and worked to achieve this for a long time."
During her research, Christy will work to find and implement the best combination of tools to teach reading skills to middle and secondary students.
"The goal of my research is to make better teachers by integrating the findings into teacher education," said Christy.
Georgia College has hosted several Fulbright Scholars from countries including Taiwan, Serbia and Niger.
More than 10 faculty members have been named Fulbright Scholars in the last several years serving many places including Germany, India, Cyprus and China.
The Fulbright Program was established in 1946 under legislation introduced by then-Sen. J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State sponsors the Fulbright Program, which awards approximately 8,000 grants annually. According to CIES, about 310,000 "Fulbrighters" have participated in the Program since its inception.

PAM - Palabora Mining Company Limited - Updated information regarding Palabora`s
Posted Fri, 23 Mar 2012
PAM - Palabora Mining Company Limited - Updated information regarding Palabora`s
Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment Transaction
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
Registration number - 1956/002134/06
JSE Code: PAM ISIN: ZAE000005245
("Palabora" or "the Company")
TRANSACTION ("BBBEE Transaction")
1. Introduction
Shareholders of Palabora ("Shareholders") are referred to the initial
announcement of the BBBEE Transaction (the terms of which were approved by
Shareholders in general meeting) published on the Securities Exchange News
Service on 15 June 2010, the subsequent announcements dated 15 October
2010, 7 February 2011 and 20 June 2011 (which provided updates on the
status of the BBBEE Transaction), and the announcement dated 19 December
2011 wherein Palabora announced the conversion, subject to certain
administrative corrections, of seven of its eight existing old order mining
rights into new order mining rights, a key step to enabling Palabora to
move forward with the implementation of the BBBEE Transaction. The
conversions of the remaining old order mining right remains subject to a
third party dispute. Such dispute will, however, not prevent the
implementation of the BBBEE Transaction insofar as the seven converted new
order mining rights are concerned.
Following extensive engagement with the Department of Mineral Resources
("DMR") and the trade unions representing the employees of Palabora, as
well as other stakeholders, Palabora is pleased to announce that it has
made significant progress with negotiating certain amendments to the BBBEE
Transaction agreements ("BBBEE Transaction Agreements"), necessary for
achieving the fulfilment of the outstanding suspensive conditions and the
implementation of the BBBEE Transaction.
2. BBBEE Transaction amendments
The engagement with stakeholders has resulted in the following amendments
to the BBBEE Transaction Agreements being agreed upon between the parties:
- the intellectual property relating to the mining methods of Palabora
will be included in the sale of Palabora`s business to Palabora Copper
Proprietary Limited ("Palabora Copper") (being the newly formed
subsidiary of Palabora in which the BBBEE Partners will hold their
interests in Palabora`s business);
- the minimum dividend payable by Palabora Copper to its shareholders
annually will be paid with effect from the implementation of the BBBEE
Transaction and not only with effect from the end of the first year
thereafter, effectively bringing the dividend payment regime forward
by one year; and
- in addition to providing a guarantee in respect of the minimum
dividend payable to the Community Trust (which is presently provided
for in the relevant transaction agreement), Palabora will further
undertake to Palabora Copper to pay the minimum dividend payable to
the Employee Trust in circumstances where Palabora Copper is itself
unable to effect such payment (with Palabora having a right of
recourse against Palabora Copper in respect of such payment).
Palabora further wishes to advise Shareholders that a payment of R17 058.82
was made to each of its approximate 2 300 employees in December 2011, which
payment was distributed equally to all permanent employees of Palabora and
all permanent employees of the Palabora Foundation, excluding the Chief
Executive Officer of Palabora and employees who are expatriates.
3. Suspensive conditions
As some of the suspensive conditions to which the BBBEE Transaction is
subject are still in the process of being fulfilled, Palabora and its BBBEE
Partners have agreed to extend the longstop date for the fulfilment or
waiver of the suspensive conditions from 30 March 2012 to 30 June 2012.
The key suspensive conditions which remain to be fulfilled include:
- the relevant administrative corrections being made by the DMR in
respect of the seven old order mining rights referred to under
paragraph 1 above, together with the receipt of written approval from
the DMR for the cession of Palabora`s new order mining rights (save
for the mining right forming the subject matter of the third party
dispute) to Palabora Copper, and the registration of such new order
mining rights in the name of Palabora Copper in the Mineral and
Petroleum Titles Registration Office;
- the adoption or amendment of the constitutional documents of the BBBEE
Partners and Palabora Copper to the satisfaction of Palabora and the
BBBEE Partners;
- the receipt of consents from counterparties to certain key contracts
as identified by Palabora for the transfer of such contracts to
Palabora Copper; and
- the obtaining of all consents and/or approvals as may be required
under any Senior Finance Document to which Palabora is party for the
implementation of the BBBEE Transaction.
Palabora is working towards securing fulfilment of all of the remaining
suspensive conditions as soon as is practicably possible. Shareholders
will be kept apprised of developments in this regard.

While spam is not a new problem, it is becoming increasingly difficult to avoid for social media users. Scammers are creating bogus accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media outlets that they can use for spam purposes.
For example, a Facebook account claiming to be Six Flags has recently offered a bogus "limited-time" offer for a four-pack of tickets to the user's nearest location. Upon clicking the link, the user is brought to a Manual Sharing Scam site. This creates a notice on the user's wall with a "like" for the bogus site in an attempt to virally share the bogus website. For those behind the scam, the payoff comes when victims are taken to a legitimate-looking Facebook spoof page and told that in order to claim the free tickets, they must complete a quick survey. The offer claims that along with the four free Six Flags tickets, the survey could also qualify the user for a Dodge Challenger or free lunches for a year at Chick-fil-A.
Not only are you potentially sharing your personal and possibly financial information to scammers, but you could also be doing even more damage, such as:
- Infection with malicious code
- Stolen passwords or financial data
- Recruitment of your computer into becoming a zombie botnet
With a platform as large as Facebook, no automated system can be perfect. The concern here is that even upon the account being "flagged" by a user, the ease of creating another fake account allows the scam cycle to continue. Some tips to keep your account free of spam are:
- Beware of short links that accompany text on your wall or in a personal message from people who do not normally post links.
- Investigate apps before agreeing to install them when you are linking other accounts or signing in with Facebook.
- Investigate your app settings to ensure that only a limited amount of access will be granted.
- Perform a Google search on the proposed offer by Googling "Six Flags Four Free Tickets Facebook" (or the possible scam you are seeing) because if it is a scam you will see pages and pages regarding the potential destruction.
- Visit your Facebook privacy settings and click on "apps and websites" to see a list of the apps and websites with access to your Facebook page. Remove apps that you do not regularly use.
- Delete all messages posted by the app you have "liked" and notify your friends to do the same.
Bottom line, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Some forms of spam are unavoidable, but for the ones that are, it is as simple as ignoring the "like" from your friends for free, unrealistic offers.

7 Productivity Traps for Overachievers To Avoid
Who's winning? You, or your to-do list?
Many high-performers enjoy getting things done and relish the act of crossing items off their to-do list. But it's easy to get stuck in the feeling of productivity, without actually doing anything productive. Here are seven common productivity traps to avoid:
1. Striving for inbox zero. Replying to all your emails can be a great goal, but there's no reason to do it daily. If you constantly obsess over your inbox, it's a good sign you're missing out on the actual work that needs to get done. Emails are not the best indicators of the most appropriate tasks to focus on. Every time you feel the urge to open your email, try opening your to-do list instead.
2. Too much research. These days it's easy to continually learn new knowledge, but too much information is often a roadblock to getting things done. Make sure you're not using research to replace taking action. Restricting your research on a task to a certain amount of time will ensure you don't get stuck in analysis paralysis.
3. Focusing on vanity tasks. Yes, you do need to take a vitamin every day, but putting that on your list just so that you can cross it off takes the focus off more important activities. For a true sense of accomplishment, de-clutter your to-do list and get rid of the tasks that have little meaning. If it's a task that you easily get done every day or doesn't contribute directly to a larger goal, you can probably leave it off your list.
4. Ending the week weakly. Most of us start the week strong, but teeter off by the end. Avoid regressive productivity by re-focusing mid-week on key priorities, following up on tasks completed already, and planning ahead for the following week. Creating a consistent workload throughout the week will keep you engaged, even as Friday approaches.
5. Switching task management software. One day you're using pad and paper. The next you're trying an online task management platform. And the following week, you're learning about an entirely new productivity system. If you're constantly switching task management, productivity, and organization systems, you're focusing too much on "how to do something" instead of "just doing it." Don't make it complicated; just get it done.
6. Getting lost in the Internet's black hole. You log on to Facebook for a quick break, but an hour later you look up from your computer groggy-eyed and with no sense of how much time has passed. Sound familiar? Don't get lost in a black hole of updates; install browser extensions that limit your browsing activity on unproductive sites or set your own timer to track time spent.
7. Trying to do it all at once. While it's awesome to be ambitious about your to-do list, putting too many tasks on your list for one day is overwhelming. Get realistic by tagging three to five tasks as priorities for the day, and spread the remaining tasks over the rest of the week. Don't psych yourself out by trying to get it all done at once, even if it all seems doable at first.
When you constantly strive to perform at a higher level, it's easy to find yourself searching for ways to get anything and everything done. But remember to take a step back and focus on your true priorities. Recognizing the difference between being productive and just completing tasks means you'll be more effective at your job and will get more done.

MAQUOKETA — Jane Schmidt, a longtime teacher known for her leadership, her ability to connect with students, and her commitment to improvement, is the 2014 Iowa Teacher of the Year, Gov. Terry Branstad announced today in Maquoketa.
"Great teachers make a world of difference for their students, for their colleagues and for their communities," Branstad said. "The Lt. Governor and I congratulate Jane Schmidt, who is a true role model for both students and teachers."
Schmidt, a 33-year teaching veteran from Delmar, is an eighth-grade literacy and language arts teacher at Maquoketa Middle School in the Maquoketa Community School District.
"The Teacher of the Year award honors exceptional teachers who leave a lasting impact on the lives of their students and fellow teachers," Iowa Department of Education Director Brad Buck said. "The leadership of outstanding teachers like Jane Schmidt will help our entire education system grow and improve."
Schmidt's leadership extends well beyond the classroom. She serves as a teacher mentor at her school and, in a new role this fall, she coaches educators, refines curriculum and gauges the effects of teaching practices across the school district. Schmidt also will help her school district craft a teacher leadership and compensation plan, an opportunity made available by the education reform law adopted by Iowa legislators this year.
"I love schools, and I've never been tired of teaching," Schmidt said. "It's always been my passion, and it's always given me purpose. I think that's all we ask of a career – that, and a commitment to continuous improvement."
Schmidt works with her students to nurture not only a love for reading and writing, but also a deep understanding of the importance of literacy. She recently shared with her students a study on college dropouts that showed a link to an inability to keep up with the reading.

MACEDONIA, OHIO (Jan. 9, 3:45 p.m. ET) — Design Molded Plastics will break ground on a 20,000-square-foot expansion this spring — a fitting start to what company officials say will be their best year yet.
This exclusive MS Excel database contains all the companies from Plastics News' ranking of top North American Recyclers and Brokers by reprocessed volume and also includes a directory with materials processes, services offered and company contact information. Data is based on primary research by PN editorial staff.Learn more
In the wake of the economic turbulence earlier in this decade, molders today find themselves in much better shape. Molders are gaining a competitive advantage by investing in people, equipment and seeking inroads into new markets on a global scale.
Growth in the injection molding industry is going to be driven by low financing costs and a continued move to reshore some business.

For Parents
Are You Disappointed with Your School?
If your child is unhappy at school or having problems, blaming the school is not the answer. Schedule a conference and listen to what the school has to say. Then you will be in a better position to decide what to do.
Dad! I Want to Come Home!
Homesickness is common when children go off to boarding school. It's not easy speaking with an unhappy child when he's hundreds of miles away. Here are several things you should and should not do when you discover that your child is homesick.
Mom! I Missed My Flight!
Your child's on her way home from school when she calls and says she's missed her flight. Here's how to prepare for those inevitable travel nightmares.
What Do I Do About...?
You have questions, comments and concerns. Perhaps you are upset that your child didn't get into a particular school. Maybe you lost your job and can't pay the tuition. Here are some emails from readers and my responses to them.
What's Being Taught?
What's being taught in the school and how it's being taught is something every parent wants to know. After all that's what you are paying for: quality teaching. Private schools have many different approaches to teaching. The emphasis on what is taught also varies from school to school. That's why it's more important to find a school whose philosophy matches yours than to look for the school which…
Why Do I Have to Wear That?
Private schools have had uniforms and dress codes for generations. We explore the pros and cons of uniforms and dress codes as well as their history.

Palestine Herald-Press
The Palestine Police Department is seeking the suspect in a Wednesday armed robbery in which a man's coat was taken at gunpoint and left at a church parking lot.
According to police, the 35-year-old victim reported that he was walking east in the 300 block of Texas Avenue when we was approached by a black male.
"The suspect pulled a semi-automatic handgun and demanded that the victim surrender his coat," Palestine Police Department Sgt. James Muniz said. "The victim turned over the coat to the suspect fearing he may be shot."
After surrendering his coat to the suspect, the victim ran to a nearby business where he called police.
"The victim was unable to give a very good description of the suspect's face," Muniz said, "however, the victim did get a good look at the clothing the suspect was wearing — black jeans, a black or dark colored jacket with a hood pulled over his head and tennis shoes."
The suspect, armed with what appeared to be a black semi-automatic handgun, left the scene on foot and ran in an unknown direction.
Officers quickly responded to the area and conducted a search for the offender — looking behind houses and on the property of a local church.
"The stolen coat was recovered on the grounds of a church in the 300 block of Texas Avenue," Muniz reported.
Police are asking that anyone in the area who may have seen this incident or that may have information concerning the incident or the suspect to call the Palestine Police Department at 903-729-2254 or Crime Stopper at 903-729-TIPS (8477).

The Daily Star
---- — Spring break at Delaware Academy Central School provided an opportunity for members of a special team from the state police to sharpen their skills.
Technical Sgt. Andrew Gould is the Central Team leader for the Special Operations Response Central Team unit, which covers this area. A total of 20 participants were at the "live shooter" drill that included members of Central Team as well as units stationed in the Albany and Newburgh areas.
The state police units are similar to SWAT or rescue teams that are called to special situations, Gould said. Most recently, members responded to last month's mass shooting in Herkimer. He could not discuss tactics or other aspects of that day's operation for security reasons.
When an incident happens, the team members work with local responders to bring in additional assets to help, Gould said.
Wednesday's event was scheduled to run from about 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. These types of monthly operations are useful in integrating the members of the various teams, Gould said.
"It's important to have the experience of working together," he said.
It's also an opportunity for his personnel to become familiar with the school building, Gould said, which could be useful if the team is called in the future.
Delhi Superintendent Jason Thomson was not at the school Wednesday. When reached for comment, he said: "This is an opportunity to be proactive about school security."
To have law enforcement familiar with the building is invaluable in case of an emergency, he said. He will be getting information about how to make the building safer from the SORT team, and some of that will be used in an upcoming building project recently approved by voters.

Yale University Department of Anthropology
Yale University Department of Anthropology
Karen Nakamura
Associate Professor of Anthropology &
East Asian Studies
Ph.D. Yale University, 2001
Office address:
10 Sachem Street, Room 213
Tel: (203) 432-3795
Fax: (203) 432-3669
Introduction: I am a cultural and visual anthropologist whose research focuses on disability and minority social movements in contemporary Japan. My ethnography about sign language, identity, and deaf social movements was published by Cornell University Press in 2006. More recently, I have been engaged in a new project on the comparative politics of severe physical and psychiatric disabilities in the United States and Japan. While my main focus is disabilities and minorities, I also work on issues surrounding gender and sexuality.
Self-identity: I was born in Indonesia and grew up in Australia, Japan, and the United States. However, I'm a bit uncomfortable with the term "Asian-American" as I'm not quite Asian and not really American, but Returnee -Japanese -Born-Indonesian - Bred-Australian- Quasi-American is a mouthful most people don't want to handle.
Research interests: Minority social movements and identity politics, disability, mental illness, sign language, civil society, gender and sexuality, sociocultural anthropology, and visual culture.
Fellowships and Awards: I was on a Yale Junior Faculty Fellowship (2007-2008) to conduct research on psychiatric and physical disabilities in Japan. I was previously granted an Abe Fellowship from the Social Science Research Council and Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership to pursue my research on comparative disability politics in Japan and the United States during the 2004-2005 academic year. A little while back, one of my journal articles won the 2003 ISS/Oxford University Press Prize for Modern Japanese Studies. It was later selected to be one of Oxford University Press' 100 seminal papers celebrating their centennial of academic publishing. More recently, my monograph Deaf in Japan was awarded the 2008 John Whitney Hall Book Prize by the Association for Asian Studies.
National Service: I am on the editorial board of the American Anthropologist and was elected co-chair of the Society for Lesbian and Gay Anthropology (SOLGA). I am also on the Board for the Society for Visual Anthropology (2009-2012) and have previously served for the AAA on the Long Range Planning Committee, AAA Minority Issues in Anthropology Commission (2005.11-2008.11), as well as a liaison to the Committee on Ethics. If you have any thoughts or concerns relating to minority issues within the AAA, please do not hesitate to contact me by e-mail or telephone.
Prospective Graduate Students: Students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in Anthropology and/or Japan Studies at Yale University should feel free to contact me either by e-mail or telephone. The photograph to the right is the current and past cohorts of Japan anthropologists at Yale (and some guests). As you can see, we have quite a number of doctoral students studying Japan anthropology, which makes for a very vibrant and exciting program.

I wanted to make this lighter so I used equal amounts of reduced fat mayonnaise, reduced fat sour cream and nonfat greek yogurt. I made this early this morning as I wanted it to sit and really mix the flavors together before dinner. I served sliced red peppers, broccoli flowerettes and carrot chips with this. Quite good! I'll make this again. I think this would be great with some fresh minced garlic and some diced green onion folded in, too.
My mom has made this dip since before I was born and I love it. If you make it the night before you don't have to rehydrate the onion, just dump it in still dry and hard. It'll soften just fine. You can thin it with milk for salad dressing. For those not in the know, "Beau Monde" is a seasoned salt made by Spice Islands brand. There is a sub for it here on allrecipes but I've never tried it. You might want to if Spice Islands brand isn't available in your area. You could sub a different seasoned salt for it, but it is very strongly flavored so the dip won't be the same (not to say bad, just different).
I've been using a variation of this one for 20 years. I use minced fresh onion, and I use alot, possibly making a dill onion dip. Sorry, but I can't even IMAGINE this one served hot. Beau monde provides salt, so be sure not to add salt if using the beau monde.

I had:
4x Rti8 (1 pair modded the 2nd pair unmodded)
1x CSia6
SVS pb12 plus/2
5.1 setup
Now i'm torn!
I sold a pair of Rti8 (unmodded), thinking i'll get a set of Rtia9 for fronts and mod them.
But as I waited months for the RTia9 to lower to a descent price, the LSi line is hovering over the horizon.
Option 1. 5.1 setup
Keep all my speakers and get back a pair of RTi8 or RTia5 to get what I had before, after all, I already have the parts to mod a pair of RTi8
Cost around $500
Pros - Easiest and lowest budget
Cons - Probably not very good music wise for 2 channel music
- less bass, but my current subwoofer is doing great already. I wouldn't mind any extra "thump" from all other speakers though, lol!
Option 2. 5.1 setup
Get a pair of RTia9 and mod them. Move my modded pair of RTi8 to surround.
Cost $1100 + $85x2 for capacitor mods
Pros - I don't have to sell anything and I have matching fronts and (relatively) matching rears as well.
- Ppl mention that RTi is better for HT application than LSi. But I found myself listening to music more as I have less time at home to enjoy a full movie.
- I don't have to replace the subwoofer of the speaker (unlike the LSi15)
Cons - I won't know what the LSi line sounds like and I'm going to be left wondering that for years to come... or at least until the upgrade bug bite me.
- Not the smoothest in music compared to LSi15, but still better than RTi8 for music.
Option 3. 5.1
Get LSiC and 4x Lsi15
Cost will be 2x Lsi15 with LSiC will be $1050 shipped, $900 for the second pair, cross over mod will be around $85x5, minus the selling price of Csi a6 and Rti8 (roughtly 500-600)
Pros - pretty damn good setup
- awesome music and great for HT.
- I already have XPA-5 in which should be fine to power 4 ohms speakers, so I don't have to add another external amp.
- I don't think I will be upgrading any of it anytime soon~ again, pretty damn good setup for my use.
- no what-if's scenario playing on the back of my mind whenever I listen to music
- piano and cherry finish, it'll match with my future floors (cherry). My TV, subwoofer, PS3, and TV stand are piano finishes
Cons - Need to upgrade the subwoofer inside each LSi15 to be perfect (I like my speakers to be perfect, which is why I insist in fully modifying all of them, caps wise). So more money, but I don't have to invest in it immediately
- I figured it's a lot of hassle to sell my CSia6 and a pair of modded RTi8, and that's if I can sell them.
- damn expensive, I could use that money to do other stuff like get new floors for the living room
- need to pick up the speakers from the borders with two different trips and two separate orders
- people say that the LSiC has muddy dialogue, I hope by modifying the caps, I can change all that and I hope it will out-perform the CSia6 that I have now
So that's all I can think of right now. I know my subwoofer is really good, but I can't help but think what if I had other speakers with subwoofers of their own... maybe the "thump" is going to be soooooooooooo much better??!!
It's been on my mind for the past 2 months and I'm dieing on researching the same information on a daily basis~
Help me decide!

The Offspring was immensely popular last night. They put on an AWESOME show no matter if it is your 1st or 15th year attending Summerfest. While at the show, a young couple and their 2-year old daughter was behind me. I know there have been some casual discussions over the years as to children at Summerfest in general and if Summerfest is really a "family" place. At nighttime, regardless, this is just an awful choice. The little girl was clearly upset. Responsible parenting. Sweet.
A 2 year old during the day ok. At night now way.
The Offspring was better this year than last years show! I hope they come back next year! As for saying State Fair, and Summerfest are the same I disagree! Summerfest food is 100 times better (and not everything is on a stick). That and Summerfest is a music festival of all kinds of genres of music.
I always say depending where you grow up in Milwaukee you either like Summerfest or State Fair. Friends in Stallis like the Fair more than Summerfest (I grew up in just near the border of Stallis)

Submitted by Readers
On Dec. 5, as I watched our local news broadcast on WJAC-TV 6, I expected to hear more of the same deficit news, about unemployment numbers climbing, or yet another story relating to the late Congressman John Murtha.
To my surprise, the lead story was in regard to a former Richland Township Volunteer Fire Company officer being accused of theft.
In short, the story mentioned the former member sold a pickup truck to the fire department for $12,000, accepted the payment, then allegedly issued another check for the same amount to his wife from another account for the same amount of money.
In the same segment, a Richland police detective was interviewed. He said there was an ongoing investigation, with "probable arrests to come" with the audit being done. The story did mention that forensic auditors had been hired when a discrepancy was noticed.
After watching the news segment, I logged onto The Tribune-Democrat website and read the article by reporter Randy Griffith, saying "A well-known former Richland Fire Company officer has been charged with stealing from the volunteer organization."
Be it known to all readers, the accused in this matter is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and I am not passing judgment either way.
I am thankful to know that the Richland fire department has in place a system of "checks and balances," so to speak, to detect discrepancies, and that the responsible officers in charge of finances were diligent in their respective duties to recognize and report their findings.

Nation facing more 'cliffs' than fiscal
Three recent news stories have caught my attention.
While headlines scream that a "fiscal cliff" looms and that Republicans and Democrats can't reach agreement, another, smaller story whispers that China and the United States have traded places as world economic powers.
Apparently, as recently as 2006, the United States was the largest trading partner around the world, with 127 countries versus China's 70.
By 2011, that ratio had reversed, with China now serving as the largest trading partner for 124 countries and the United States serving 76.
Wow! That's a really big "fiscal cliff."
A second article catching my attention was "Study: CO2 emissions increase by 3 percent."
Apparently, China and the United States have now also switched places as the world's biggest polluter. The amount of heat-trapping pollution the world spewed rose last year by 3 percent with China being the world's biggest carbon dioxide polluter. The United States and Germany reduced their emissions.
Worldwide, we've added nearly 9 ppm of CO2 emissions in only one year! That's a huge change.
In 2006, CO2 was advancing by only 1 ppm per year. It looks to me like we humans are heading for a "carbon cliff."
Which cliff is worse: The domestic fiscal cliff that leads to another recession, the balance of trade cliff that leads to the loss of world economic dominance for the United States, or the carbon cliff that leads to climate chaos, failing nations, mass extinctions and the potential collapse of human civilization?
All these cliffs can be avoided simply by agreeing to work together on solutions for the common good.

Sylvia Pankhurst convicted at Mansion House on 23 October 1920
January 2005
Recent releases at The National Archives
18 January 2005
This file released under the Freedom of Information Act contains correspondence from Sylvia Pankhurst and Clara Gilbert Cole to be accorded special treatment as a political offender under Rule 243a. The rule was introduced in 1910 by the then Home Secretary Winston Churchill to avoid hunger strikes in prison. Pankhurst was imprisoned for releasing seditious articles in 'Worker's Dreadnought' and was in poor health at the time.

The Doppler effect, or Doppler shift, is the change in wavelength and frequency caused by the movement of an observer relative to the source. One of the most common ways we can experience the Doppler effect in action is in the change of pitch that occurs due to a moving sound source. You've probably experienced the Doppler effect when a fire truck or ambulance passes by with its sirens blaring. As the siren passes, the pitch suddenly drops as the […]Read more ⇢

The flow of fluid through a porous medium is usually described by Darcy's Law. However, what if you wanted to look at a combination of fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transport in a porous medium? Instead of using Darcy's Law, which calculates an average linear velocity for fluid flow in porous media, the Navier-Stokes equations would be necessary in order to obtain accurate results. In addition, heat convection and conduction, as well as mass transport would need to be […]Read more ⇢

We've probably all seen centrifugal force in action in one way or another, whether it be riding on a merry-go-round as a child, spinning a bucket of water upside and observing as the contents hug the insides of the bucket, or watching mud spinning off of a turning tire. In addition to making dizzying carnival rides, this force can be used in the design of many mechanical applications, where it is harnessed to control a variety of effects. One such […]Read more ⇢

Aircraft rely on landing gear in order to taxi, take off, and land. The landing gear of your average commercial airplane consists of a shock-absorber cylinder and piston, and a pair of tires. Intuitively, the shock-absorber experiences stresses as the landing gear touches the ground — but how much? In order to design a landing gear mechanism that can withstand many landings, and to determine when it's time to swap out an old one, we can perform a multibody dynamics […]Read more ⇢

It's not always obvious what a major role temperature control plays in modern technology, as the interchange happens in the background. Plate heat exchangers, made up of successions of metal plates and various coiled pipes, regulate and manipulate temperature, and they get the job done quickly — thanks to an active surface that is large with respect to their volume.Read more ⇢

In many applications, loads applied to structures are random in nature. The sampling results of the structural response will differ depending on the data collection time. Although the stress experienced is not always high, the repeated loading and unloading can lead to fatigue. The engineering challenges in these types of applications are defining the stress response to the random load history in the critical points, and predicting fatigue damage. This is simulated with the Cumulative Damage feature in the Fatigue […]Read more ⇢

Mufflers are often located in exhaust systems or on heat, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, where their key functionality is to dampen the noise that is emitted from the system.

GMC Terrain Prices Paid and Buying Experience
crucial Posts: 35Lenny:
If any help, this is a lightly different trim: Shopping for a friend in SoCal SLT1 FWD w/ V6 and power lift gate , dealer's asking 29000+tax&ttl
Why would you need AWD anyway? This vehicle is way over-weighted GrossWeight over 5000 lbs!
V6 engine is average with up hills and acceleration. RPM offen rev between 3000-4500 (similar to vtec) in normal red lights stop and go/ highway merging and 60-70 passing.
crucial Posts: 35Got a quote for a SLT-1 FWD V6 with leather , power lift gate, sunroof, cargo management package for $29,250. Is it an ok deal? We told another dealer, they say that they would try to work out something by tomorrow. So we expect lower than 29000.
FYI: Some dealers are offering cash back $750 - $2000 due to the end of 1st quarter 2010 and tax season.
skygal Posts: 1The dealer could not find the Terrain I wanted within 300 miles of the dealership so I ordered it about a month ago. So far no "build date" as yet. Is this normal or is the production of this vehicle behind? I ordered the SLT2 , with 3.0 engine, FWD in Summit white with navigation. I also ordered the Titanium grey interior. I am in So. Calif. My dealership had quite a few Terrains but mostly the 2.4 and only black interiors. I have also seen very few of them on the road out here...maybe two. I am beginning to think of it as the phantom car that doesn't really exist beyond the showroom.
iiichicago Posts: 1DO NOT BUY A GMC TERRAIN!!!!!!! The car is sexy and drives OK but the V6 has little power and I've had several trips back to dealer because of mechanical problems. Not to mention the best gas mileage you will get is around 25-27mph highways instead of the advertised 32mph.
I've had my new 2011 GMC Terrain SLT FWD for a total of 24 days and 1,000 miles and the Service Engine Light (SEL)came on. I took it back to the dealer and they fixed it after a few days saying "Found lean codes in memory. Inspected Engine for vacuum leak. Found Dip Stick Tube not sealed properly. repaired and road tested vehicle." I asked the service tech if they have seen a lot of Terrains back in for repairs and of course he said no I just happen to be unlucky. I drove the car for another 19 days and ~700 miles and the SEL came on AGAIN. The vehicle is back in the shop and it's been over two days and I am still waiting for the shop to call. If must get this car make sure to get the extended warranty because you will need it.
I should have known GM = Government Motors and it would function the same as our government - IT DOESN'T!
automan17 Posts: 1you complain about not getting the advertised 32 mpg yet your terrain only has 1,000 miles on it?!? Do you realize that the engine and power train needs time to break in. Not to mention the advertised 32 mpg's is for the 2.4L 4-Cylinder, not the V6. But, with any new vehicle, until you reach 3,000-5,000 miles you should not expect to be averaging the advertised mpg's. Also, the Service Engine Light (SEL) with lean codes in memory is caused by YOU not tightening the fuel cap correctly. It amazes me how SLOW people can be, this is why there are so many people driving around aimlessly on the roads, la deda deda! PAY ATTENTION iiichicago!!!
fedor2 Posts: 1I have read some complaints about lack of fuel economy; I too have been disapointed, puzzeling since I had a 2010 rental for awhile which got excellent mileage. It was an AWD 4 cykinder and I got about twenty-seven mpg at seventy-five mph plus country driving, OK by me!
I checked with the service manager where I bought my 2011 vehicle and it turns out there is a service bulletin about reprograming the mileage computer; that the information center may be reading one to three miles per gallon less than the actual mileage.
mkomen Posts: 1Have been contemplating the purchase of a Terrain , mostly due to mpg it is supposedly suppose to get. Seen the message boards,reviews and discussions on mpg. Curious to know if anyone has actually done the math, that is total miles on trip meter for a full tank divided by gallons to fill tank as opposed to just relying on what the Terrain's computer/display is telling you..
ray80 Posts: 1,233I have done the math a few times for longer trips. As always ones driving habits and driving conditions can make a large difference. One recent trip was 380 miles, 16.468 Gals = 23.07MPG (while highway miles, some hilly terrain involved). Last week a trip to Maine from Connecticut yielded 526.8 miles 19.819 Gals = 26.05 MPG (kind of surprised me even though it was mostly flat territory). On the trip to maine I kept cruise on between 56-58 MPH and A/C was an off and on thing. This is with the AWD V6 rated at 22 MPG highway.
For the last 3500 miles or so since I reset the computer the puter tells me its averaging 23.6. Total miles on the odo is just over 7000.
silvermaple Posts: 1We just bought a Terrain SLE-2 V6 cloth, nav + sunroof + convenience package + 18" wheels + trailer hitch for $30898 + ttl in Dallas , TX.
Invoice was 30408 including destination + ttl. They charged us $490 for regional ad & dealer ad fees. They threw in wheel locks and tint on front windows + one extra tank of gas in the future. Still feel a bit ripped off......What do you think, ok deal ?
