Richard Norman, County Coordinator, presented Craig Hayes with a plaque for being the recipient of the Lifetime Certified Purchasing Managers Certificate received from the National Association of Purchasing Managers. To earn this certificate an individual has to be in the profession for at least 18 years, meet all educational requirements and attend seminars. Hayes has been certified since 1982. The Lifetime Certification means Hayes will not have to complete the 4-year renewals. Norman has received many positive comments about Hayes and said Hayes works with the highest level of integrity, ethics and professionalism.
Darla Groshens, Auditor/Treasurer, provided an update on County Ditch #33. During the 7-1-97 storm, damage occurred to County Ditch #33 when NSP crews were replacing downed powerpoles. A letter has been received from NSP stating they will assume responsibility for these repairs. Quotes for repair have been received from Fyles Excavating and J.L. Schmitz & Sons. The quotes were bid on the basis of a setup fee and per foot fee to complete the work. Kerry Saxton, SWCD, was contacted and affirmed that J.L. Schmitz & Sons had submitted the lowest quote for repair. Sawatzke moved to accept the quote from J. L. Schmitz & Sons and requested that Groshens contact them to request that the work be completed this fall. Motion carried 5-0 on a second by Jude.
The County Board discussed beaver problems associated with County Ditch #30, County Ditch #31, and Joint Ditch #15. Mattson and Russek have viewed Ditch #30 and Ditch #31, and feel that bids should be sought for removal of beaver dams. Russek and Mattson have been involved in review of ditches, but the Board felt that if major repair was needed to any ditch that a Ditch Committee be formed to include local residents. Rose moved to accept quotes to perform dam cleanout on Ditch #30, Ditch #31 and Joint Ditch #15, seconded by Sawatzke, carried 5-0.
Groshens said information was received stating that the culvert is being upgraded on Co. Ditch #10 and Keats Avenue (Victor Twp.) as part of a County Highway Department project. Rose moved to acknowledge being informed of the project, seconded by Russek, carried 5-0.
Groshens referenced the 1996 Draft Audit Report which was received from the State Auditor's Office. She said discussion could either be referred to the Budget Committee Of The Whole or a meeting could be set with the Board Chair and Department Heads involved. Russek amended the Agenda to include Item For Consideration #4, "Seta Building Committee Of The Whole meeting."
On a motion by Rose, second by Jude, all voted to appoint Mattson and Russek to the Municipal Board RE: Monticello Annexations. A meeting will be held on 1-12-98.
At the 11-4-97 Wright County Board meeting, the Board discussed correspondence received from MClT stating that an election will be held for two seats on the MClT Board of Directors and voted to appoint Darla Groshens as the delegate and Judie Rose as the alternate. Due to the fact that Richard Norman serves on the MClT Board, Rose moved to change the voting representatives to Richard Norman as delegate and Darla Groshens as alternate. Motion carried 5-0 on a second by Jude.
The claims listing was reviewed. Russek moved to remove the claim on page 12 to Midwest Forensic Pathology ($495.00) and directed the Coordinator to research the claim and withhold payment for one week, seconded by Jude. Russek understood that training should have been included in the contract. Groshens requested that claims to R.D.O. Equipment on page 23 ($4,260.00) and page 26 ($86.35) be removed at the request of the Highway Department. Russek amended the motion to include removal of these two claims, seconded by Jude, carried 5-0. Mattson referenced claims to the City of Buffalo for utility payments on page 9 ($20,745.25) and page 24 ($271.75). He said that generally utility payments do not appear as separate charges and felt this should be researched. He also referred to a claim on page 24 to Bill's Shoe Repair ($266.25). After checking, it was found that the correct vendor should be Bill s Repair & Salvage. On a motion by Rose, second by Russek, all voted to pay the claims subject to audit.
Brian Asleson, Assistant County Attorney, brought forth a request to appoint Mike Couri as special counsel associated with the Albertville road project. Couri has been legal counsel for Albertville throughout the CSAH 19 and 37 improvement Project and has worked closely with the Wright County Highway Department. The Cooperative Agreement requires that Albertville obtain the necessary right of way for the project. Couri has requested to be appointed as special co-counsel for purposes of one condemnation case (City of Albertville vs. Carolyn Diane Vinge, et. al.). Asleson and County Attorney Nelson concur with his request. Couri's fees will be paid by the City of Albertville. Rose moved to appoint Mike Couri as Special Assistant County Attorney to the named case, seconded by Sawatzke, carried 5-0.
A Communications Committee meeting was held on 11-12-97:
Hutchinson Telephone Company: A representative from lndependent Emergency Services (IES) attended the meeting, a Hutchinson-based 911 telephone service provider. Due to problems with U.S. West, alternative service providers are being reviewed. The U.S. West Contract is due for renewal, and they are asking for an 84-month commitment. Recommendation was to sign a 12-month contract with U.S. West.
UPS (Battery Backup for E911): The current backup system has been put together in a piecemeal fashion and does not cover Dispatch Consoles and the MDT Controller. A functional UPS is needed to back up dispatch in case of a power outage. Cost for a new UPS system is $12,223.00 and would allow for a margin of growth. Loberg Electric will isolate the items in Dispatch which need to be on the generator. The County can use the current UPS's in other areas. The system would be funded out of the E911 Fund account:
Dictaphone for E911: At present, the phone and radio channels are taped and a workstation is needed to listen and tape back. lt is a time-consuming process which needs to be updated. The Committee requested that Swing and Thinesen investigate further. This may require a software purchase.
Change of address request - Dan & Jerry's Greenhouses, lnc.: Dan & Jerry's has requested their address be changed from Cahill Avenue NE to 90th Street to prevent a delay in emergency services. The Committee recommends changing the address after verifying the information with the telephone company.
Jude moved to accept the minutes and recommendations, seconded by Russek, carried 5-0.
Bruce Thielen, Parks Administrator, requested Board approval for signatures on an agreement with the Buffalo High School to groom the ski trails for the 1997/1998 season. The agreement will run from 11-10-97 to 12-31-98 and may be done on a more limited basis. Discussion followed on fees, which are billed at time and a half. Thielen explained that many times the work is completed after hours. The need for grooming is dependent on snow fall, which also affects other work the Parks Department performs. Russek moved to authorize signatures on the agreement with the Buffalo High School to groom the ski trails for the 1997/1998 season, seconded by Rose, carried 4-l with Jude casting the nay vote.
A Deferred Compensation Committee meeting was held on 11-14-97:
Discuss Fund Transfer. The Wright County Deferred Compensation Plan, Section 9.8, states that a participant may elect to have all or a portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the participant in a direct rollover. Nelson requests that all funds held in his name be withdrawn from the Plan for purposes of a direct rollover to another eligible Plan. Recommendation: Authorize the Auditor/Treasurer to withdraw all funds held in Wyman Nelson's name from the Plan and to transfer these funds to another eligible retirement Plan designated by Nelson.
At today's meeting, it was explained that IRS rules do not allow the request. Russek moved to accept the minutes without the recommendation as it does not comply with lRS rules, seconded by Sawatzke, carried 5-0.
A Ways & Means Committee meeting was held on 11-12-97:
Misdemeanor Prosecution Services: Effective 11-1-97, the County has agreed to take over most gross misdemeanors with the exception of traffic. Wyman Nelson presented the Committee with a proposal to offer services to the cities of Buffalo and Annandale. A past Fee for Service Analysis showed that out of the $30.50 per patrol hour charge, $2.00 per hour was for prosecution. The 1998 contract rate per patrol hour will increase to $35.55, with $2.30 being for prosecution. Buffalo averages 2 cars per 24 hour period which would equal $40,296.00 using the 1998 figures. Annandale averages 1 car per 20 hour period which would equal $16,790.00 using the 1998 figures. Annandale has already expressed an interest; however, Annandale is aware that the proposal is contingent on Buffalo also agreeing to the contract. lf both cities accept, the County will need to hire another attorney plus a half-time clerical support person. Recommendation: Wyman Nelson will present the figures to the cities of Annandale and Buffalo. If they accept, he will hire one full-time attorney and one half-time clerical support person.
At today's meeting, Jude moved to accept the minutes, seconded by Russek, carried 5-0.
On a motion by Rose, second by Sawatzke, all voted to schedule a Budget Committee Of The Whole Meeting on 11-25-97 at 10:30 A.M. to discuss the Digital Scan Equipment and to meet with the State Auditors regarding the 1996 Draft Audit Report.
At 9:55 A.M., Tom Salkowski, Planning & Zoning Administrator, presented a Certificate of Achievement to Mary Anderson and Chuck Davis for the collection and recycling of 10,716 empty pesticide containers in 1997. The program began as an environmentally sound disposal option for pesticide users and has grown due to the benefits realized. Others mentioned for their efforts were the farmers who participated in the program, farm cooperatives, and the SWTF. The program will continue through the chemical dealers. Anderson and Davis were commended for their efforts in the program. Sawatzke noted that Wright County is one of the leading counties in the State with regard to recycling.
Wayne Fingalson, Highway Engineer, presented the Transportation Committee Of The Whole Minutes of 11-5-97 for discussion. A summary of the minutes follows:
Discuss request with Southside Township for 80th Street: Under Southside Township jurisdiction, 80th Street is a two mile roadway lying between CSAH 2 and CSAH 3 and has been identified in the County Transportation Plan as a candidate for future placement on the County road system as a minor collector. A feasibility study is being prepared by Otto Associates to determine the cost to bring the road up to County standards in comparison to Township standards. Discussion involved how the road could be incorporated into the system, the ROW required for adequate drainage, and options for future jurisdiction of the roadway. One potential scenario would be to determine the cost difference between Township and CSAH standards and bill that to State Aid. This would become a budgetary item for the future. Other discussion involved other County road turnbacks. Consensus of the Transportation Committee Of The Whole was to have Marty Campion prepare an estimate for the cost difference between a township standard and state aid standard design for 80th Street. These figures can be brought back to a future Transportation Committee meeting and a scenario such as the one Virgil suggested could be discussed. The communications should be kept open on this subject. Campion will contact the Highway Department when he completes the estimate. At today's meeting, Sawatzke cautioned Fingalson to proceed slowly on this request. The 5-year plan would not provide funding for the request and he did not want them to be too optimistic.
Discuss request from City of Rockford for a four-way stop at junction of CSAH 20 & 33: The Highway Department sent a letter to the City of Rockford in December, 1996, indicating that this intersection did not meet the criteria for a four-way stop and that the County was not in favor of installing one. The consensus of the Transportation Committee Of The Whole was to disallow the four-way stop due to a very low accident history and not being close to meeting any other warrants.
New Park Access On CSAH 20: This was presented as an additional item for discussion by Phil Gravel and Lenny Walker. A new park access had been installed prior to completing a County access permit and without prior knowledge of the Highway Department. On 10-29-97, the Highway Department sent a letter to the City of Rockford denying approval of the access in question. During the City project on CSAH 20 (formerly CSAH 19) a couple of years ago, 3-4 accesses were removed and not replaced at that time. The City is now asking for one additional access to replace the ones not replaced. The additional access does not meet the spacing guidelines which the County is attempting to adhere to create safer conditions through the County road system. The consensus of the Transportation Committee Of The Whole was to grant the access as it was installed. An access permit should be submitted to the County for approval for this park access.
Discuss request from City of Buffalo for path along CSAH 35: The Buffalo City Council would like to implement a bike/walking path from the new Senior High School into Buffalo along CSAH 35, placing a path on the northerly side of the County ROW (a separated path) due to the safety hazard from large volumes of traffic. The current plan would be to place a temporary path along the ROW until the adjoining property develops. The path could be permanently incorporated into the development plans and the temporary portion removed. Not all of the path would fall within the existing ROW, so easements would be required. This project is in the feasibility stage and planning will continue with landowners. Fingalson indicated that the County Attorney stated that the liability for such a path should not be a deterrent to its construction within County ROW. The consensus of the Transportation Committee Of The Whole was to give approval to the path concept as presented with the condition that the agreement between the City of Buffalo and Wright County be put together addressing the concerns discussed.
Discuss status of two issues involving City of Cokato (Shop Site & CSAH 53): At the meeting of 10-3-97, the Highway Department was given direction to obtain an assessment of the current value of the Cokato shop to help determine costs to construct a new shop. The County Assessor was contacted to obtain a ballpark figure for the value of the current 2.45 acre parcel adjacent to CSAH 3. A square foot estimate of 50 cents was used to equate to about $50,000 for the total parcel value. The current shop does not add to the value of the property and there could be a $5000 cost to remove it. Discussion involved land values of surrounding properties. The Highway Engineer asked the Committee for direction on whether the shop issues and the CSAH 53 issue should be tied together or kept separate. City of Cokato officials indicated that it may be easier to sell the proposals to the City if the two issues were worked out together. Russek and Sawatzke felt they should be kept separate. Moving to a new site would require expenditures for: 1) constructing a 10 ton road from TH12 to the site near CSAH 4; 2) getting City utilities into the property; 3) land costs associated with the new site/trade; and 4) building costs. Staying at the existing location would require expenditures for demolition and building costs. The Committee members felt that the City would have to come up with an acceptable package to make this proposal work at the new location. One advantage of the new site would be the potential for a larger site. In regard to CSAH 53, there is a sense of urgency in regard to the future re-designation of CR 118 to a CSAH status. The CR 118 project is at the point of beginning the preliminary location and design work. The Transportation Committee Of The Whole recommends that Dick Mattson approach Cokato City officials to discuss the same CSAH 53 and Shop Site issues and concerns that have been discussed at the Transportation Committee Of The Whole meeting. He will attempt to get something in writing from the City.
At the County Board meeting, changes were made to the Transportation Committee Of The Whole Minutes. On page 7, 2nd to last paragraph, the minutes were corrected to read: "Dick Mattson questioned how the path along TH 12 from Cokato to the High School, as part of the path that runs to Dassel, was financed and constructed. He thought that Cokato Township may have matched construction costs with the State." Sawatzke said that as part of the discussion regarding the new park access on CSAH 20, that the minutes should reflect the reasons for approving outside of the guidelines (there was an actual reduction in the number of accesses and the applicant was a public entity for a public project). On a motion by Rose, second by Sawatzke, all voted to approve the minutes as amended.
Fingalson requested approval of two resolutions. Russek moved to adopt Resolution #97-61 approving Joint Powers Agreement between Mn/DOT and Wright County for winter maintenance of TH241. Motion seconded by Rose. Discussion followed on TH241. Fingalson indicated that construction on this roadway will occur in 2002. Jude said he would vote against the motion on the principal that he did not want to take this roadway back from the State. He did not have a problem with giving CR 128 to the State. Fingalson said correspondence from the State indicates that TH 241 will be received back from the State, but it will be improved prior to receiving it back. Fingalson and Rose are part of the Committee designing the improvements. Motion carried 4-1 with Jude casting the nay vote. On a motion by Sawatzke, second by Russek, roll call vote was unanimous to adopt Resolution #97-62 approving Joint Powers Agreement between Mn/DOT and Wright County for Mn/DOT winter maintenance of CR 128.
At the request of Jude, Consent Agenda Item "Authorize County signatures on contract with SRF Consulting Group, Inc. for design of Keats Ave. Bridge Project (future CSAH 6)" was moved to the regular Agenda. Bids for the project were received from OSM and SRF. Jude questioned the message being sent to other companies when a contractor is hired and is not the low bid. Fingalson said the railroad indicated that they preferred to work with SRF due to a work history with them and the bids submitted differed by only $600. Jude did not feel the railroad should indicate which company should be selected, it should be done on the basis of the bid. Norman explained that the Board has the ability to consider factors other than cost when proposals are reviewed, just as when an architectural firm is reviewed. As the County is purchasing a professional service, the formal bid process does not have to be followed. Jude responded that this could also send a message to contractors that it was an "auction" for bidding. Russek moved to accept the contract, seconded by Rose. Discussion followed on the bid submitted. Fingalson indicated that the final cost should be close to what was bid and that it was a not to exceed figure. Jude reiterated that awarding the bid to OSM would save the taxpayers $600 and that OSM was familiar with the County. Sawatzke responded that if the County had previous experience with a professional firm with other projects, they may elect to go with them due to that fact. Motion carried 4-1 with Jude casting the nay vote.
On a motion by Rose, second by Sawatzke, all voted to schedule an MlS Steering Committee meeting for 11-26-97 at 9:00 a.m. Agenda items will include the Web Site, a GIS Project-Parcel Coverage Demonstration & Discussion, and a Sheriff Project Update.
Jude expressed thanks to the County Board, Department Heads, Leadership Team and all others who supported him in the loss of his mother a week ago.

Vladimir A. Dobrushkin,Tyler 207, 874-5095,firstname.lastname@example.com is unpredictable and it may happen that a student did not show up in class or fail to present homework solutions in time. Below, there is a list of possible excuses and a student has an option either to choose one of them or to write her/his own explanation.
Part A (attendance)
1. This is pertaining to my absence from class. I haven't been feeling well and I was unable to attend class.
2. I emailed you before about recieving an absent in your class. I can get a doctors note since I have an upcoming appointment. This semester I have been trying out new medications. I would like to speak with you as soon as it is convientent for you.
3. I am sending you this e-mail to explain my absence from class on Month, Day, Year from your MTH108. I was called into work because someone at work had a family emergency. Next class I will be on a trip to Florida with my job also.
4. I would like to apologize for being absent from your class for the last three meetings. Last week I had a presentation to give on Friday. I was up until 6am Thursday morning working on it. On Tuesday and Thursday morning of this week I felt very ill, and didn't get out of bed on either day until noon. Please except my appologies for not being present.
5. I am very sorry but was unable to be in class today. I have a 3 year old daughter who is sick. No day care will take a sick child. I thought of coming to class with her but she is still sleeping and it is 8:40am and I live in Newport. I did the homework you assigned and I will read up more on chapter 9 for next week.
6. I couldn't attend class due to an allergy shot this afternoon, thank you!
Part H (homework)
1. You told me after class that the Maple assignment would be on the web. However, it is not on the web, and I'd like to start this project a.s.a.p.. Could you please email me the maple project, or let me know when/where I can get it from you.
2. I am writing to ask for an extension on this week's homework. I have been diagnosed with a sinus infection this weekend and have been suffering from horrible headaches. To make matters worse, I am now experiencing an allergic reaction to the antibiotics that have been prescribed.
Part E (exams)
1. I had a business trip last week and did not return my take home exam. But I have completed my take home exam and would like to hand it in as soon as possible.
2. I have unfortunately been caught in a situation that will not permit me to leave work. I work 3rd shift as a paramedic, and this morning my replacement did no show up for work. Our company's policy mandates that I stay until someone can be found to fill the shift. I Hope it is possible for me to make the exam up at your earliest convenience. I am very sorry for the short notice, and inconvenience.
3. I must have not set me alarm last night and completely slept through my exam. I realize this is a little ridiculous and you have been more than reasonable in this matter. This is not very characteristic of me at all. Is there a chance I will still be able to take a makeup, perhaps with some penalty, or anything I can do so that I do not automatically fail this class? Please let me know.
4. I am sorry I didn't, or I should say couldn't up... I had to drive home (which is like 45 mins away) and give the car to my parents because they needed it, so I wasn't on campus all day, I missed work and everything. I was wondering if I could come see you during office hours, which ever would be better for you I am ready whenever you are. Hopefully it is not too late to get points on this test because I really don't want to fail this class, I need it for my major... anyway hopefully you can help me with this, thank you very much for your time.
5. My name is ... and I'm in your class. I've been going through some rough times with responsibilities at home that distracted me from my performance at school. I did miss some of your classes, and I did very poorly on the last exam. I'm all caught up with the work now. If it as all possible to retake the second exam, I would be most appreciative because I really want to get a good grade in your class. Thank You,
6. I recently received my grade from your ... class
this Spring and I was wondering if you could review my grades throughout
the course and see if I received a C or maybe a B-. I'm a part time
student, as were many students in the class, and unfortunately my
company's policy is for us to pay for the class out of our own pocket,
then to be reimbursed if we receive a B or better. I don't normally
ask for a review of my grade, and I know how busy you must be, but
I was wondering whether you could just take a quick look to see
whether there was a miscalculation or anything that might bring
my grade up to a B.
I apologize for having to make this request and appreciate anything you might be able to do to help me in this situation. Thank you.

February 8, 2009
STARKVILLE -- To a man who has given much to Mississippi State University for 50 years after his college basketball career ended, the school returned the favor to Bailey Howell on Saturday.
Howell''s No. 52 jersey was retired at halftime of Mississippi State''s game against Arkansas. He is the first player in school history to have his jersey retired.
"I don''t think a school could give you any higher honor to a former player than retire his jersey," Howell said. "When you finish playing for a school, I''ve heard people say they tend to forget you, but that hasn''t been the case at Mississippi State. They''ve continued throughout the years to honor me and support me. As the years come and go, it gets even better. I''m proud of this institution. Mississippi State is special."
Howell, who played for the Bulldogs from 1957-59, was joined at midcourt by his wife Mary Lou and MSU athletic director Greg Byrne for the ceremony.
"There''s no greater ambassador to Mississippi State than Bailey and there aren''t many schools that has the accolades that he does," Byrne said. "We felt it was a well-deserved tribute to him and his family. It''s important for us to show our history and there is nobody more important to our basketball history than Bailey Howell."
The numbers prove Byrne''s point.
Howell''s 1,277 career rebounds remains a school-record, while he is second on the all-time chart in scoring with 2,030 career points.
In other career marks, Howell holds records in scoring average (27.1 ppg), rebounding average (17 rpg), free throws made (682) and free throws attempted (892). He holds game records of 47 points against Union in 1958 and 34 rebounds against LSU in 1957.
Howell was a two-time All-American and three-time, first-team All-Southeastern Conference selection. He helped the Bulldogs to their first SEC Championship in 1958-59..
"We finally won the SEC my senior year," Howell said. "We were a very deliberate team. We didn''t run or put up a lot of shots.
When I finished taking all of my shots, there weren''t many left over. My teammates were really something. Everyone wants to shoot and there weren''t a lot of shots to go around."
Byrne presented Howell with a frame jersey and a banner was unveiled from the rafters of Humphrey Coliseum with Howell''s name, number and the years he played at Mississippi State.
"It''s very hard to put into words how much I appreciate it and how special and how high this honor is," Howell said.

2019 Honda CRF125F
Call for Price
Stock Image
Specifications subject to change without notice. Honda's fuel economy estimates are based on EPA exhaust emission measurement test procedures and are intended for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on how you ride, how you maintain your vehicle, weather, road conditions, tire pressure, installation of accessories, cargo, rider and passenger weight, and other factors. Suggested Retail Price (SRP) excludes destination charge. Visit powersports.honda.com to view applicable destination charge amount.
New and Improved Fun.
Honda's CRF125F may sit right in the middle of our off-road funbike lineup, but it's over the top when it comes to some big improvements this year. In terms of our overall line, the CRF125F is the next step up from our CRF110F—a little bigger, a little taller, a little more powerful. We've designed it to hit that sweet spot that makes it a great choice for both young riders and smaller adults. But for 2019, it's a whole lot better.
To start with, we gave it fuel injection this year. That makes a great engine even better, first because it broadens up the power, but most of all because you can say goodbye to clogged up pilot jets after the bike's sat out the winter. It also means easier starting and better running in cold weather or at high altitudes, and less pollution.
There's a new twin-spar steel frame this year too, and more suspension travel at each end for an even more plush ride. An electric starter makes it easy to get going, while a four-speed transmission gives you all the control of a full-sized bike.
Sound like an awesome motorcycle, but maybe you're looking for something that will better fit a taller rider? Right this way—we also make the CRF125F in a big-wheel version. Either way, you're making a great choice.
Be A Responsible Rider: All parents need to consider their youngsters' age, size, ability and maturity before allowing them to ride. Obtain a copy of "Off-Road Safety Tips" from your local Honda Dealer.
Electric Starte: Turn a key, push a button—that's all it takes to get the CRF125F started. Add in a generous dose of Honda reliability and you'll find the CRF125F is super easy to own.
Sized for the Sweet Spo: With its air-cooled, 125cc single-overhead-cam engine and four-speed transmission, the CRF125F will fit a wide range of riders. It has enough power for teens and small adults without being intimidating for younger riders.
Fuel-Injected Engin: New for 2019, the CRF125F's fuel injection makes starting easier than ever, and automatically compensates for cold weather or high altitudes. Plus, it runs cleaner!
- Pro-Link® Rear Suspension: Progressive linkage connects a single heavy-duty shock to the swingarm, delivering an excellent combination of spring and damping rates over a wide range of riding conditions. This year the CRF125F gets an extra inch of suspension travel, too.
- Reliable Engine: The CRF125F's dependable four-stroke, single-cylinder engine offers good performance with a wide powerband—perfect for a wide range of riders, including beginners. And for 2019, new fuel injection makes it even better and more efficient.
- Electric Starter: The push-button starter makes getting going easier in all kinds of conditions, and its efficient design adds minimal weight.
- New Steel Frame and Swingarm: Less experienced riders are hard on equipment, especially when they're just starting out. That's why we gave the CRF125F a strong, new, twin-spar-type steel frame and swingarm that are built to handle the bumps and dings of off-road riding.
- Four-Speed Transmission: The four-speed gearbox is just like a full-sized motorcycle's, and gives your younger rider all the control they need.
- Keyed Ignition Switch: For added security, the keyed ignition switch lets you control who goes riding and when—important if you have younger riders in the house.
- Proven Manual Clutch: Honda's heavy-duty clutch is durable and helps promote smooth shifting.
- Front Disc Brake: The front disc brake provides superior stopping power, and the front disc rotor is drilled for lightness and better wet-weather performance.
- Tough Bodywork: Riders can be hard on equipment, and taking a spill is a natural part of learning. But the CRF125F can handle it: with tough plastic fenders, tank and other body parts inspired by our bigger CRF motocross bikes, the CRF125F is engineered to shrug off the minor dings of the real world.
- Sealed Battery: A maintenance-free sealed battery helps ensure that your CRF125F is ready to ride when you are.
- Low Seat Height: It's important to have a bike that's sized right for your rider. The CRF125F's low 29.1-inch seat height helps build confidence right from the start.
- Big-Wheel Version Available: Want something a little larger? Check out our CRF125F Big Wheel—the same great bike but a better fit for taller riders.
- More Front Suspension Travel: In addition to the rear-suspension travel increase, we also gave the CRF125F more travel up front for a balanced, plush ride.
- Half-Waffle Grips: Just like the pros use, the CRF125F gets upgraded, half-waffle pattern grips. Might as well start them off right!
- Fuel Injection: New for 2019, fuel injection means the CRF125F starts right up, even in cold weather. Compared to a carbureted bike, it also helps reduce emissions and enhance performance and fuel efficiency. And say goodbye to clogged pilot jets when you put this bike away for storage.
- Clean-Running Engine: Another benefit of fitting the CRF125F with fuel injection? Now it even meets California's stringent CARB emissions standards for off-road motorcycles—good news for everyone.

Watches have been a major part in fashion and style. They say that a man's shoes can tell a lot about him, but so does his watch. When picking out a watch as a gift or an accessory what are some of the thoughts that come into your mind.
2014 had me getting a couple of watches and many at times it was solely because it was an amazing addition to my personality and my style, and not forgetting functionality. In this day and age , many people just quickly check out their phones to know what time it is and we see a lot of mobile phones having an easier method of what i can call the 'quick check' with the Samsung new S6 edge and Note Edge being the easiest in doing so with their new dandy feature.
I especially love the mechanic watch (as seen in the image next to the Samsung). I love the aesthetics and its aura and presence. It is a simply complicated piece of machinery. When thinking about getting a mechanical watch you can get different types because they come in different design elements. I especially loved a piece by Ariel Adams on probably the thinnest mechanical watch from Jaeger-LeCoultre.
The mechanical one is a versatile piece when it comes to fashion and style and in case you are looking at getting gifts for him or her, you should consider one.
Watch Buying Tip for Him
Understand his style and his personality. You can never go wrong with simple minimalistic pieces like a Daniel Wellington.

Survival Solutions is just that, survival solutions.Throughout the years, Sigung Lopez has taught and certified many wonderful and talented Instructors. In October of 2009, Sigung John Lopez retired from teaching Martial Arts.

I went to a fantastic networking event this morning hosted by Kim McGuinness (Network Central). One of the speakers, Mariette Rups Donnelly, was presenting on the topic of 'presence'.
What an interesting subject this is! To get ahead we must each be seen and heard and of course, there are good ways and not so good ways to achieve this.
Many women whom I coach express concern that 'presence' could be misconstrued by others as downright 'arrogance' - certainly this extreme way of being seen is something most people would wish to avoid.
There are a number of techniques to help you establish greater presence in your meetings, with your clients, and around people 'who matter' - and I'd love to share one of Mariette's today.
Mariette explained that to have presence requires you to be present.
This is simple yet highly thought provoking.
Being present implies you are behaving actively. You are consciously making the effort to connect with the people around you and listening (not just hearing) what they have to say.
To raise your profile, a simple action you could take is to work on living in the moment. And giving your full attention.
And one thing that I have certainly learnt: it is much easier to share your view and be heard once your counterpart genuinely feels that you have listened to all they have to say first!
What are your experiences?

We had fantastic feedback from the CEO of EPF and I would like to say a huge thank you to the two volunteers who worked on this project.
CEO feedback:
'We were delighted by the speed with which the volunteers understood the challenges we face, and how carefully they evaluated our needs and our current systems. We have upgraded our evidence gathering systems already and how the information is presented will enable us to make far more impactful case to funders and sponsors.'
The volunteers also really benefited from the project:
'People at EPF were really friendly and helpful and prepared to give us a lot of information to work on. They found us clients of EPF and property advisers to speak to and invite to our workshop and most of those invited came along. The Discounted Cash Flow model was extremely well received – the client became quite excited! It was very satisfying to seeing the CEO happy with the outcome.'

Cristina Hinds received her undergraduate degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 1995. During her political science studies, she spent a semester in Washington DC interning for Senator Richard Bryan while studying the legislative process.
She later attended the University of San Diego School of Law and received several first place awards for Moot Court competitions. Cristina also spent her a summer during law school as an extern at the Nevada Supreme Court. At the Court, she read briefs, researched opinions, and drafted recommendations for the Justices. All recommendations she prepared were unanimously accepted.
The next summer, Cristina interned at the Clark County District Attorney's Office for District Attorney Stewart Bell. She worked exclusively in the Appellate Division preparing briefs and responding to motions for credit for time served and post-conviction petitions for writ of habeas corpus for the State of Nevada.
After graduation from law school, Cristina returned to Las Vegas and the District Attorney's Office. Cristina performed more intensive research and writing. Additionally, she assisted the Bad Check Diversion Unit, and among other duties, drafted legislation which was later enacted into State law. Cristina has also argued before the Nevada Supreme Court.
After approximately two years, Cristina left the DA's Office to start her own law firm. She used her experience gained at the District Attorney's Office to operate a successful criminal defense practice. In addition to handling City and State misdemeanor and felony criminal defense, Cristina's extensive writing experience earned her countless appointments from various courts to assist with researching and drafting post-conviction remedies and appeals for defendants.
As a solo practitioner, Cristina also appeared before the Nevada Pardon's Board on behalf of a woman who, 13 years prior, had been convicted of first degree murder with use of a deadly weapon. While preparing the case, Cristina discovered that her client had a defense that was never explored or presented at trial by her former attorney. She successfully argued that the defense would have made a difference in the outcome of the trial. She persuaded all members of the Board to grant her client relief in a unanimous decision. Her client was released from prison shortly thereafter.
In addition to criminal defense, Cristina has practiced other areas of law, including family law, real estate, and contracts. For four years, she was the only Town Attorney for the Town of Pahrump, Nevada. There, she reviewed contracts, drafted ordinances, and advised and made recommendations to the Town Board. Cristina also represented the Town in multi million dollar contract negotiations with the International Association of Firefighter and the local union. Further, Cristina was responsible for reviewing the Town's contract for solid waste disposal, renegotiating the contract, and implementing a franchise fee which resulted in the Town receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Cristina currently enjoys drafting and reviewing contracts and assisting with all aspects of real estate transactions and financing. She appears on Fox 5 More Show as their "Legal Eagle" to discuss current interesting legal topics.

|Cregle Fine-Point Active Stylus Review
Accessories for smartphones aren't as lucrative as what it is supposed to accessorize, and a selection of them is pulled by the usual essentials that you can't leave home without. Besides standard power banks and smartphone cases, there isn't much need for other items. But for those that require all the accessibility options they can get, of course, there's a number of solutions that can justify a purchase. One accessory perhaps is Cregle's fine-pointed stylus.
|Retail Package
The Cregle fine-pointed stylus arrives in a clear and straightforward packaging. The stylus itself is packed inside a vertical box, and inside a carton is a micro USB cable and a replaceable pen tip. That's just about it. However, our review unit didn't have the latter, so it's best for us to take good care of it while charging the stylus.
HARDWARE and PERFORMANCE:
Cregle's fine-pointed stylus, as its name suggests, is a stylus designed for mobile devices, be it for smartphone or tablet, iOS, Android, or Windows. As long as a device has a touchscreen panel, it would most likely work.
In terms of build quality, the stylus is created with a combination of aluminum and plastic. It's a bit hefty, especially if you compare it with the knock-off stylus and tips that can be attached through headphone jacks. As such, it's ideal to lug it on a slot that your backpack offers so you can easily produce it even while you're on the move.
It's quite easy to make it work, too. All you have to do is charge up the stylus through the micro USB port and with that you're good to go. However, do keep in mind that it doesn't have any pressure sensitivity. Think of it as a mouse, but you have precision controls through your hands instead of gliding through the mouse pad (which is a very daunting task to do if you're dealing with pinpoint pixels).
|Sample Creation
As far as the battery life is concerned, you really won't be having any problems running out of juice with this one. There's no indication of the ideal charging time, but we resorted to about 3 hours through a laptop. Your mileage may vary, though. The company says it can last up to 19 hours of continuous writing. Depending on your usage, it can last for just a day or two, or extend it to five if you use it sparingly, i.e. when you really need to write using it. There's a 30-minute auto-off feature, which you can have to your advantage.
There are a whole lot of applications for a stylus, especially with one that can bring precise controls at your fingertips. Case in point, it's a bit heavy if you compare it with the professional-looking Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and its S-Pen. However, the Cregle stylus shines due to its impressive compatibility. It doesn't require apps to run, just a touchscreen display and you're all set.
Cregle Fine-Point Active Stylus Specifications:
- Dimensions: 13mm x 150mm
- Weight: 32g
- Warranty: 12 months limited warranty
- Rechargeable battery
- Compatible with all apps
- Price: $26/Php1,200.00

[toggle title="How do we get started?" state="closed"]
The first step in the adoption process is scheduling an orientation meeting with one of our adoption workers. The adoption worker will provide an overview of the characteristics and needs of children available, the home study, and the adoption and legal process. At the orientation meeting, you will be given an application, criminal clearance form, financial worksheets, and a medical form to complete. Once we receive your application, we can begin the home study process.
[toggle title="What does the home study involve?"]
You will be asked to gather information such as birth certificates, marriage license, criminal clearance and fingerprinting requests, medical clearances and reports, and financial records. You will also be required to provide three unrelated references to provide a statement about your ability and willingness to parent an adoptive child.
The adoption counselor will schedule a home visit to meet with the applicants and any household members. During this visit, the worker will interview the family about their social history, home and environment, preparation for adoption and parenting and discipline philosophies. We will also discuss the type of child that would be a good match for your family. After all documentation and paperwork are completed, a family assessment will be written that provides our recommendation for approval or denial.
[toggle title="What type of training will we receive?"]
Adopting from foster care can present unique parenting challenges and opportunities. In order to provide a nurturing home designed to meet the child's needs, comprehensive training is required of all families. This 12 hour training consists of five sessions focusing on working toward permanence for children, meeting developmental needs, loss, attachment and discipline. You will also be notified of other relevant training in the community.

Questions about Sorrell remain unanswered following WPP AGM
A good few years ago, a friend of mine left her well-paid job in a London PR agency to set up shop on her own. Having spent the best part of 12 years with the agency, she was instrumental in helping it grow by introducing many new clients, including several whom she knew personally through her own network of well-connected friends and family.
When she announced that she was leaving, her boss was shocked. Almost immediately, she was relieved of her duties and was warned not to talk to clients about her departure or contact them in the future.
All client information in her possession was immediately handed over and off she went to the nearest watering hole for a stiff G&T to digest what had just unfolded.
Apparently, this was fairly standard stuff within the cut-throat marketing communications world where every client is a revenue stream. But it was only a matter of weeks later when one client – a family friend – decided to move their account to her new agency, that a barrage of legal correspondence rained down upon her. At one stage, there was even talk about getting her to provide a written apology that would then be published in the company's internal newsletter. Being a somewhat feisty person with Celtic blood coursing through her veins, she told them where to stick their apology.
The company was global ad giant WPP. Admittedly, these legal tactics were run-of-the-mill back in the 1990s and early noughties, when anybody dared stray from the fold to set up a rival business. WPP, of course, had every right to protect its business and it had a duty to shareholders and employees to do so. Given that the marketing communications business is a people-driven one, once a senior employee leaves there is always a fear that they will take some clients with them.
How companies deal with it, however, is a different matter.
Contrast this stern approach, however, with Martin Sorrell's controversial departure from WPP back in April. Not only was he allowed to resign following an investigation into a number of alleged misbehaviours, but he was not subject to a non-compete agreement that prohibits him from setting up a business which will, inevitably, compete against the company or one of its 400 subsidiaries at some stage in the future.
And to rub salt into what is an already open wound at WPP, he was allowed to hold on to share options that could be worth nearly £20m over the next five years if the company hits targets. It should also be pointed out that this is on top of the £48m package he received in 2017 and the £70m in 2016.
In case you missed it, Sorrell has only gone off and set up a new business called S4 Capital, having persuaded a number of institutional investors to pledge £150m to fund an acquisition spree in the marketing communications space.
Notwithstanding the allegations made about him in his favourite newspaper, the Financial Times, this week about inappropriate spending and bullying his personal assistants – all of which he has strenuously denied – there is still something troubling about WPP's handling of the whole sorry episode. Even more so, when one considers that the company has a legal blueprint for dealing with people who leave the group and set up on their own. After all, it has been down this road hundreds of times before.
But the salacious sideshow – as depicted by the Financial Times as well as The Wall Street Journal earlier this week – paints a very unflattering picture of Sorrell, who was once feted as the most influential person in the marketing communications universe.
googletag.cmd.push(function() {
While he has always been a divisive figure in the industry, those who have questioned him and his methods in the past are quite possibly putting the finishing touches to his epitaph.
But there are also many great, talented and creative people working for WPP and its many subsidiaries, including plenty of them in Ireland, who are feeling angry, saddened and let-down by the whole debacle.
Having led the company he founded for more than 30 years, many now feel that they been given the two-finger salute by their former group CEO.
Some of them have expressed anger about recent comments he made about looking to set up the so-called agency of the future. If this is what his ultimate game-plan is, then why the hell didn't he do something about it when he was running WPP? Or did he realise that the writing was on the wall and decided to bail out before it was too late?
At the company's AGM in London earlier this week, none of the many questions about his departure were answered. Instead the company hid behind confidential non-disclosure agreements which it entered into with him before he exited stage left. It is entirely conceivable that if these NDAs were opened up and the full details of what really transpired in the run-up to his departure emerged, even more damage may have been inflicted on both parties.
But for now, at least, Sorrell would appear to be off the hook and WPP can return to the important business of finding his replacement now that the AGM is done and dusted.
But next week the advertising world will descend on Cannes in the south of France for the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity. Normally, Sorrell holds court with the global power-brokers of the industry every year. This year, however, it might be a different story.
While it remains to be seen whether he will even show up, it's highly likely that, if he does, he will have fewer hangers-on, sycophants and gurus in his entourage than previous years.
And, perhaps, rightly so.

Just days before Bernard Madoff captured the nation's attention as the largest Ponzi schemer in U.S. history, Marc Dreier, a prominent Manhattan attorney, was arrested for orchestrating a massive fraud that netted over $750 million.
Following his arrest, Dreier and his lead defense attorney, Gerald Shargel, spent a great deal of time trying to strike the right tone in appealing to U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff for a lighter sentence than the 145 years prosecutors wanted for conspiracy, fraud and money laundering.
(Read More: Diary of a Scam: The Fall of Power Attorney Marc Dreier.)
This is not just for the obvious reason of shortening his prison sentence — as a 60-year-old man (now 62), Dreier stands a decent chance of dying in prison anyway. But the length of the sentence also helps determine the type of facility where convicts are sent.
(Read More: The Best Places to Go to Prison.)
In the end, though, Dreier was sentenced to serve 20 years at the Federal Correctional Institution at Sandstone, which is a low-security federal prison in Northern Minnesota. U.S. Bureau of Prisons policy generally requires that inmates with longer sentences serve their time at a higher-security facility. Madoff, for example, was sentenced a few weeks before Dreier to 150 years at a medium-security facility in North Carolina.
That said, do you think Dreier got the punishment he deserved? Vote now in our "Unraveled" poll!

Islanders G DiPietro injured in collision with Canadiens' BeginNHL.com @NHLdotcom
MONTREAL (AP) -New York Islanders goalie Rick DiPietro left Tuesday's game with an apparent head injury after a first-period collision with Montreal's Steve Begin.
DiPietro and Begin both fell to the ice after the Islanders goalie was hit on the right side of his mask by the Canadiens forward's right skate when he lunged forward to win a race to the puck just inside New York's blue line.
Begin grimaced in pain and had to be helped off the ice while DiPietro lay still on his back as he was being attended to by Islanders trainer Garrett Timms.
The goalie removed his mask and looked groggy as he was helped off the ice, passing backup Mike Dunham - who replaced him 15:41 into the opening period - in the hallway leading to the dressing room.
DiPietro, who entered with a 2.60 goals-against-average, a .918 save percentage and a 30-19-7 record, was making his 58th appearance of the season.
The Islanders led 1-0 on captain Alexei Yashin's first goal since he returned to New York's lineup Thursday after missing 14 games because of a knee injury.

The Most Dangerous Phrase?
"The most dangerous phrase in the language is 'we've always done it this way.'"
I've seen that and heard that numerous times. Heck, I've probably even said it. After all, I've worked in a Baptist church and in a Baptist organization. And been involved in a Baptist church for most of my life. We're famous for that phrase.
But this time my response was "Oh, yeah. Really?"
Maybe I'm just being contrary. Or maybe I'm just tired. I worked through the night. Or maybe this is part of my current "ranty" phase. Or maybe it's because I'm thinking about purpose this year.
Because I'm thinking that an equally dangerous phrase is "Here's something we've never done before. Let's do that!"
Sometimes the way we've done it is that way for a reason. It's been tried and tested and proven reliable. Does that mean we should always do things the same way and never change? No!
But too often it's easy to see the shiny new thing and follow it. I think that's how we have gotten into some of these troubles in education. Bouncing from one method or idea or strategy to another. Without examining what works and what doesn't and why it does or doesn't and how we could make it happen again.
The most dangerous thing of all is unexamined practice.
I have my favorite practices and strategies to use in teaching. But I must continually examine what I'm doing. Is it effective? Does it accomplish what I want? Is it helping kids learn and grow and explore? (and play!) If it's not doing what I need, I must stop it. I must ask "What's my purpose?"
I have new things I am trying or want to try. But I must examine those, too. Will it help me accomplish the task? Is the investment (time, money, effort) worth the payoff? Does the benefit outweigh the cost? If not, I need to skip it (even if it's the hot new trend). Again, what's my purpose?
Some things always done before work. Keep doing them.
Some new things work. Start doing them.
Whatever doesn't work, stop or avoid.
Oh yeah, and next year (month, day), I'll need to think about it again. Kids change. Needs change. I change. And answers to those questions change.
The most dangerous phrase? "I doing what I want (old or new). Those kids are gonna need to adapt."
