CREDIT THE Savannah-Chatham County school board for being receptive to the related concepts of charter schools and parental choice.
At the school board's last meeting, board members overwhelmingly supported Superintendent Thomas Lockamy's recommendation for conditional approval for two proposed charter schools.
One is the Classical Academy. School supporters, who include local children's chorus director Roger Moss, said their plan is to offer a unique, classical-based education program to disadvantaged youths.
The second is the Tybee Island Maritime Academy. Supporters hope to offer classes in a neighborhood school on the island, which is currently without a public school.
Charter schools are public schools, too, just like neighborhood schools. They just don't operate like traditional schools when it comes to management, personnel, rules and certain programs.
For example, Mr. Moss said the Classical Academy plans to hold parent-teacher conferences on Saturdays. That's a normal day off for teachers in the traditional school system. But since many parents work during the week, holding these conferences on Saturday should mean greater participation and interest.
The system's experience with charter schools has been mixed.
On one hand, there's Oglethorpe Academy, the extremely successful middle school that consistently scores well on tests and enjoys a solid reputation.
On the other hand, there's Savannah's Gateway to College. It was started in 2008 as a partnership between the school system and Savannah Tech and was supplemented with private funds from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It morphed into a charter school.
It was a disaster. Its goal was to get dropouts back in school and inspire them to get their diplomas and go to college. After four years, it helped just 10 students graduate. The board rightly agreed to dissolve the charter and reassign the remaining students to neighborhood schools.
Thus charter schools aren't magic cure-alls to the ills affecting education. They're mechanisms. Some work. Some don't. Much depends on the people who are behind them and the amount of planning and effort they put into their proposals.
Dr. Lockamy, for example, said the Classical Academy petition was the best he has seen since his tenure with the school system. That's encouraging, although he noted that the group supporting the school remains deficient in five of 11 critical areas. The Tybee Academy has a problem with the building it wants to use — it doesn't meet state standards for school campuses. There's also transportation costs, as busing children who live off-island but choose to go to the Tybee school won't be inexpensive.
The school board should wrestle with these concerns with an open mind and with the public's interest at heart.
Supporters for the Classical Academy and the Tybee Academy have worked for years on their petitions — as they should. Getting a charter should be difficult. The public must be assured that limited resources for education are well-spent.
The two charter school applicants must satisfy the latest concerns by June 29. Otherwise, they will not be recommended for approval when they go before the state Board of Education.
That's not being anti-charter school, a knee-jerk position that other school districts in Georgia take. That's called being an honest, but tough, grader.

* Yen skids across the board after LDP victory
* Markets expect BOJ to ease policy at this week's meeting
By Ian Chua
SYDNEY, Dec 17 (Reuters) - The yen slumped to its lowest in over a year-and-a-half against the U.S. dollar on Monday as part of a broad skid after Japan's conservative LDP party, pledged to hyper-easy monetary policy, won a landslide victory at an election.
The dollar rose as far as 84.48 yen, reaching its highest since April 2011, from around 83.50 late in New York on Friday. The euro jumped to around 111.30 yen from 109.81.
The higher-yielding Australian dollar climbed above 89.00 yen for the first time since May 2011.
Japan's conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) surged back to power in an election on Sunday, giving ex-Prime Minister Shinzo Abe a chance to push his radical economic recipe.
Abe has called for "unlimited" monetary easing and big spending on public works to rescue the economy from its fourth recession since 2000.
The Bank of Japan meets later this week and analysts expect the central bank will ease policy further.
Investors had already turned bearish on the yen in the weeks leading up to the election. Data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission released Friday showed short yen positions had risen to the highest in over five years.
Analysts at BNP Paribas warned the yen may be poised for a bounce back soon.
"Our view is that PM Abe is unlikely to sound as aggressive as he came across as the leader of the opposition. We also believe markets are putting too much emphasis on the BoJ policy and too little on the Fed's, especially after the latter fully delivered last week," strategist Vassili Serebriakov wrote in a report.
At its policy meeting last week, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced a new round of monetary stimulus and took the unprecedented step of indicating interest rates would remain near zero until unemployment falls to at least 6.5 percent, a long way from the 7.7 percent currently.
The CFTC data also showed currency speculators have turned bearish in the U.S. dollar for the first time since late October.
That has helped underpin the euro, which was around $1.3167 in early Asian trade, versus $1.3154 late in New York Friday. The single currency was on track to test its 2012 peak around $1.3486 set in February.

I know this is an old debate.. I've seen it here before.. but was wondering if anyone would like to weigh in on it again.
Should an affiliate post the price and have a higher quality click through (a shopper who is still interested enough after seeing the price) or should you not post the price and boost the number of cookies you set - and lower your EPC I would presume.
I have just started witholding the prices - on about 60 pages I replaced today I didn't include them. Up to now I have always included them.

I post prices if I have done the sales pitch - but if I am sending customer to an upsell page I might not post the price - thinking additional sales pitch might overcome any price resistance.
November 1st, 2003, 03:52 PM #3
I don't post the price, because I know the price will probably have changed by the time most of my visitors click through. I don't like to make any more changes to my pages than absolutely necessary.

"Alpena": A New Navy Bean Variety for Michigan (E3249)
New upright full-season navy bean variety suited for direct harvest. Exhibits uniform maturity coupled with good plant dry down at maturity. Matures in 99 days ahead of most current navy bean varieties. Suited for northern production areas.
'ALPENA' is a new erect, highyielding navy bean variety from Michigan State University (MSU) that combines unique characteristics for bean producers. This full-season maturing variety has an upright, short vine growth habit. The upright narrow plant profile, combined with resistance to lodging, makes 'Alpena' suitable for direct harvest under narrow row production systems. 'Alpena' matures a few days earlier than current varieties and exhibits good dry down when compared to the persistent green stem characteristics exhibited by current navy bean varieties at harvest. It resembles 'Indi' best in dry down and agronomic traits but has out-yielded 'Indi' by 7% over 22 locations. 'Alpena' shows excellent resistance to lodging equivalent to 'Merlin' and better standability than 'Medalist', 'T-9905' and 'Vista'. It is equivalent to 'Medalist' and 'Merlin' in tolerance to white mold and is resistant to strains of bean rust and bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) present in Michigan. The seed of this variety is similar in size to that of 'Medalist' and possesses similar canning properties.

Article No. 1 in a series about the Proven Performance of Hunt hulls. This article addresses several myths published about the deep-V and provides tested truths about the newest generation of deep-V hulls.
TRUTH: Today's deep-vs do not roll any more than flatter bottoms of the same beam.
At-rest or static stability, is largely dependant on vertical center of gravity and waterline beam. Early deep-vs were designed to float with their chines clear of the water for speed, so they were narrow at the waterline, skinny, for more speed. The Bertram-31 and others of that vintage were light and fast for their time but did roll from chine to chine when at rest in a beam sea. Today we address that problem by designing each hull to have its chine in the water at rest for about half of its waterline. This creates a wider beam on the water and and a stable boat. Today's deep-vs do not roll any more than flatter bottoms of the same beam.
It's also important to understand that hard chine boats are generally more stable than round bilged boats. This is because the hard edge of the chine is more resistant to rolling than a nice soft round edge. A hard chined boat equal in waterline beam to a round bilged boat will be stiffer.
Static stability is only part of the picture however. Another component in planing boats is dynamic stability. And it is an important one. The same forces that lift a planing boat above the water also stabilize the boat and counteract rolling. Displacement boats have no such benefit, thus the need for fin stabilizers and flopper stoppers. Planing boats gain stability once on plane. They actually are stiffer running at speed. The deep-v has the added advantage due to the deadrise because the planing forces are always working to right the boat. These forces are acting normal to the surface of the hull through the center of lift. On flat bottomed hulls these forces are acting normal to the bottom also, but do not counteract a roll.
TRUTH: There is not much difference in speed between well designed planing hull shapes.
MYTH: "DEEP-VS ARE HARD TO PUSH" – This is another old tale that we can surmise comes from the generality that most deep-vs are highly powered to go fast so they use a lot of horsepower. Any boat trying to go fast requires a lot of power. We do not see much variation in efficiency from hull to hull if we compare boats of similar dimensions and weight. Differences in hull shape, beam, chine shape, struts, rudders, propellers, all those things together do make a difference, but overall, there is not much difference in speed between well designed planing hull shapes. Note the emphasis.
A few years ago Grady White asked us to design some planing catamarans. We looked at a lot of catamaran hulls and seatrialed many before we designed the Grady cats. We discovered that the same speeds were attained by mono-hulls and catamarans if the weights and horsepower were equal.
The major factor in efficiency and speed is weight. Heavy boats are slower and need more power. Deadrise has little effect on efficiency when looking at real boats in the water as opposed to theoretical tests. So many other factors can make a much bigger difference. Compare for yourselves. Look at the boat tests in the magazines. Even if these are not the most scientific, they can be used for comparison. Compare the fuel efficiency of Hunt Yachts to other boats, and you will see we are as good as or better than most. Also note that planing hulls don't have to be any less efficient than displacement hulls.
TRUTH: Not all Deep-V's are the same.
The Hunt deep-v is the original, and it also has evolved. While it is still very similar to Ray's original concept, we have improved it and tailored it for every application from 10 ft. PWCs to 110 ft. Motoryachts. Our 50 years experience has taught us how to make it better. If you look closely at hulls at a boat show or boatyard you can easily pick out a Hunt hull. Our hulls have more deadrise forward, finer waterlines, robust and sharp edged chines and strips, and generous flare. Many other hulls carry transom deadrise too far forward giving a harsher ride, let interior accommodations define hull shape above and below the waterline, have soft easily molded chines and strips that are far less effective in knocking down spray and holding the boat steady at sea.
We put the ride first and the housekeeping second, so on the unpredictable ocean, you will be comfortable and confident at all times, in all seas.
TRUTH: Less Deadrise is not necessarily better at slower speeds.
Deadrise is less important than other critical charateristics, notably the run and buttocks lines aft, the right propeller/gear ratio match, trim and weight. Deep-vs make superb displacement boats. With more hull and displacement under the water than flat bottomed boats, they handle better, go straighter with less effort, and can be more stable than traditional displacement hulls due to the hard chine.

THE great river has lost its Strauss-waltz glamour in this closely observed piece from W N Herbert's forthcoming twin-edition collection, Omnesia (Bloodaxe Books, £9.95 each).
Their title is a portmanteau word for omniscience and amnesia. There is much travelling and wit on show.

On a floating platform being dragged
by a small reluctant boat
to a well-churched town, the name of which
I forget each time I 'm told it
rows of chairs are set out beneath
an awning and the blinding Serbian blue
as though this were a little theatre set adrift
or a cinema only showing one film:
'The River' - broad, brown,
endless and actorless, so
my fellow audience members leap up, snap,
attempt to fill the frame.
In the brow-prinkling, nose-pinking light
I watch the constant wooded banks
be punctuated here and there
by a half-sunk, slime-streaked dash
of rowboat, then a parting in the trees,
then a grey hem of pebbles.
Within the dark green shadow
there's a pale green hut and,
in front of this sufficiency,
a fisherman plays himself as
Expressionless Man with Bucket,
looking directly into the lens.

For decades it was an axiom of Nationalist politics that, if the SNP won more than 50 per cent of Scottish seats in a Westminster election, this would be a mandate for independence.
It is a curious irony that the recent Ipsos Mori poll – outlining the prospect of the party winning every seat north of the Border – has prompted a modest response from Nicola Sturgeon (your report, 30 April).
She claims that the 7 May election is "emphatically not about independence"; in some ways this is a shrewd response to the staggering opinion poll findings.
But the claim that the SNP surge is simply about making sure a minority Labour government sticks to its promises and recognises Scottish interests can only be credible for so long.
A party with 59 seats in a hung parliament is in a powerful position. The question of independence, whether through the device of another referendum or through parliamentary pressure, can only be put off for so long.
It is a problem of success for the SNP Convener. It is nonetheless a very difficult dilemma for her.
An electoral landslide in one direction can within a decade become a landslide in another direction.
You only need to consider that Labour's success after the Second World War turned into a comfortable Conservative majority by the mid-1950s; or Mrs Thatcher's enormous majority in the late 1980s turning into a three-figure majority for Labour by 1997.
Within the next few months it seems certain that the SNP Convener will need to display a heroic act of statesmanship. That will be to declare to her party and to the country whether or not she intends to push for another referendum by the end of the decade.
In my view she would be unwise to do so simply because of the prospect of another rejection so soon after the last one. Whether she can withstand pressure from within her own party to go in another direction remains to be seen. We shall shortly see of what mettle she is in fact made.
Bob Taylor

I worry about the SNP's apparent idea of democracy. Already they are talking about another referendum on independence.
Do they hope that by repeatedly testing a sentiment that waxes and wanes, it will eventually happen on a peak and carry the day?
In perhaps a true word spoken in jest, Alex Salmond has said that in a coalition he would write Labour's budget – although Labour might have five times as many MPs as the SNP.
The Nationalists say Scotland should have a greater voice at Westminster. Yet the average constituency in Scotland is 69,000 voters, against 71,200 in rUK, so Scots already have about 1.03 votes each. What does the SNP want? One rUKian, one vote; one Scot, two votes?
Democracy means accepting the decision of the majority, no matter how right one thinks one is. It means respecting those whose views differ, not characterising them as fearties. I wish I could believe the SNP subscribed to this.
George Byron
Comely Bank Avenue
As there is no way the SNP tail is going to be permitted to wag the UK dog, SNP success may lead to the very opposite of what Ms Sturgeon wishes – a grand coalition of Labour and Conservatives to form a government of national unity.
Admittedly that would require twin miracles of Messers Cameron and Miliband emerging as statesmen, and their supporters holding their noses over certain of the nuts and bolts necessary to secure a five year agreement, but for Unionists the end will justify such heaven-sent interventions.
As most Brits, including a majority of we Scots, wish to preserve the Union, the next Parliament could be the first ever to possess the support of a majority of voters.
It could thus be very popular.

'True Blood' Season 3, Episode 3 'It Hurts Me Too': TV Recap
Ouch. That's all I have to say about the disturbing final scene of this week's episode of "True Blood," in which Lorena goads Bill into having sex with her, and then proceeded to have her head twisted 180 degrees during the act. Lorena has never been one of my favorite characters, and I have to say, this week's episode only heightened my dislike for her. The character hasn't ever really grown, and she's only around for shock value and to move the plot forward. (Oh, and for various old-time-y flashbacks involving Bill. Which, no offense writers, could be a tad shorter. Bill's tormented about being a vampire. We get it.)
Also failing to demonstrate any sort of growth is Tara, poor girl. She's become a major victim, first being manipulated by Maryann's tricks last season, and now Franklin's charm and hypnotizing ability to "glamour" her (speaking of which — if vampires can glamour humans into inviting them into houses, doesn't that defeat the point of the admissions rule?). I miss the Tara from season one, who had more spunk.

In the first place they pay most of the fighters like absolute shit, and make half their fighters sit on their asses for extended periods of time, and those are the fighters they like. The ones they don't like they try to screw over and drag their contractual obligations out as long as possible, and then when they finally do let go of the fighters they make their last fight one they're sure to lose (tito vs machida, huerta vs sherk if that happens, etc). But now it's a whole new level of douchebaggery. First it was the bullshit with the life-long rights to the fighters images. Then they started talking about controlling the sponsors and taking a cut of the money. And now they are opening their own line of mma gyms? Are you fucking kidding me? That's where most mma fighters make a majority of their income, they open gyms and capitolize on their names! I used to think that Dana was trying to advance the sport in spite of the minor negative effects it had on the fighters. Now I think he has absolutely no consideration for them at all, I think he views fighters as expendable assets that exist only so the he can advance his company and his bank account. Fuck Dana White and the Fertittas.

Wine auction record: The Napa Valley Vintners' 18th annual Premiere Napa Valley auction made history last week by bringing in a total of $5.9 million, nearly doubling the previous record of $3.1 million raised in 2012.
The 225 lots crafted exclusively for the trade-only tasting and auction showcased the power and finesse of the 2012 vintage (90 percent of the wines were from 2012), one of the most anticipated in recent history.
The average wholesale price per bottle sold to retailers, restaurateurs, importers and distributors was $283. To a roar from the room, the Scarecrow Wine lot (made by James Beard-nominated winemaker Celia Welch) went for $260,000, more than doubling the previous record of $125,000 for a single lot bid.
"We are thrilled to bring home this magnificent wine, drawn from the J.J. Cohn vineyard from nearly 70-year-old vines," said Bill Knight of Los Angeles retailer The Wine House. "We were willing to pay what we did for this wine because of the beautiful expression of its lineage, and we look forward to sharing it with our customers." We bet.
Clooney's tequila: How's this for bromance? Years ago, actor George Clooney and his BFF, bar and restaurant mogul Rande Gerber, bought a plot of land in an undisclosed area of Mexico and built adjacent homes, which they called Casamigos, or "House of Friends."
They fell into the local tequila scene, and before long, they decided to make their own with help from a master distiller in the highlands of Jalisco. After five years of blind tastings at "research sessions" in Mexico and Italy, where Clooney has a villa, the friends have released their small-batch, ultra-premium tequila.
Casamigos produces a blanco and reposado tequila made from hand-selected, 100 percent Blue Weber agaves, whose piñas are cooked in traditional stone ovens for 72 hours. They use the bagasse from the agaves and an extra-slow fermentation (80 hours, double the industry standard) to produce a smooth, no-burn tequila, which recently took a gold medal at the Los Angeles International Spirits Competition. $45-$50. www.casamigostequila.com.

Coming to the end of the Obama administration, with the wreckage of its foreign policy all around us, the naïve conservatives running the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal are begging President Obama to offer "A New American Deal for Europe."
Aboard a "government-owned private jet," whatever that is, former White House sleazemaster Bill Clinton had a private pow-wow the other day with Attorney General Loretta "What First Amendment?" Lynch.
For families like Karnamaya Mongar's, yesterday's Supreme Court decision was nothing to celebrate. While some young women cheered a ruling that lets monsters like Kermit Gosnell exploit them, Mongar's family knows all too well what the five justices' opinion means for Karnamaya.
Of all the stories I've seen on Mississippi's new religious freedom law, the one in the Jackson Free Press is one of the few that remembers what the debate is really about: the First Amendment. Specifically, the Establishment Clause versus the Free Exercise Clause.

ATLANTA (AP) - Two Georgia gang members face up to life in prison after being convicted for their roles in a crime spree that U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said "set the standard for violence."
A federal court jury returned guilty verdicts Friday against 27-year-old Remberto Argueta of Lilburn and 31-year-old William Espinoza of Norcoss. Each was convicted of racketeering conspiracy involving murder and violent crime in aid of racketeering. They were members of the MS-13 gang.
Prosecutors said Espinoza shot a man at a DeKalb County nightclub and killed a man during a robbery in Gwinnett County in 2008.
They said Argueta shot and killed a suspected drug dealer during an attempted robbery at a hotel in 2007.
A sentencing date has not been set.

Have you traveled by air recently and noticed a shorter security line at the airport with a sign posted for "TSA Pre-Check"? Or have you been lucky enough to have a notation on your boarding pass that said something like "TSA Pre-Check"?
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) now has a program called Pre-Check which selects random air passengers to go through that shorter line at the airport security point. They are not required to remove their shoes or belt, nor to take their laptops out, when passing through security. Obviously, getting through airport security is a much simpler process without those conditions.
If you'd like to increase your chances of being selected for the Pre-Check line, you can request a Known Traveler Number (KTN) with the TSA. It's a simple process that you can initiate online. You have to visit one of the TSA's local offices to finalize the process and provide a set of your fingerprints. Then they do a full background check on you. If you can pass the background check then they create a KTN for you. There are some conditions that you should read before you start this process. It does cost $85 but it's good for five years.
See this link for more information:
Once you have a KTN, you just need to include it in any airline reservations that you book. You can also add it to your profile if you have an online account with any of the airlines, so it will be automatically included on any future reservations.
I've recently gone through this process and found it pretty simple. I started my application online and booked an appointment to go to the office. When I arrived, they took me right in, reviewed my online application with me and helped me to use their digital fingerprint machine to create my fingerprint images for my records. The whole thing only took about 10 minutes.
To me, it's well worth the $85 fee to make my travel just a little less stressful. I most often travel with my kids. They can go through the pre-check line with me until they are 13, then they have to get their own KTN. I'm hoping I'll never have to wait in the long "cattle call" lines at airport security again...

Welcome to your clucking nightmare.
Twitter flew over the cuckoo's nest on Monday when a startling video went viral featuring… a giant chicken!
The clip showed the gargantuan farmhouse bird stepping out of its coop, and the Internet didn't quite know how to react.
A great deal of people described the animal as "nightmarish" — others were in disbelief, thinking they were laying eyes on a ghoulish Big Bird knockoff — and a few disturbed responders even wanted one as a pet.
Video: Twitter Perplexed By Turkeys Circling Around A Dead Cat!
As it turns out, the huge hen was NOT the product of some fast food experiment gone awry, but is a legitimate species! Huh, the more you know…
The "Brahma" chicken breed developed in the United States from cross-breeding of very large birds imported from China back in the 1850s.
Brahmas were used as the principal meat breed in the states until about 1930, but their descendants have clearly survived (and are currently plotting for world domination, we assume).
See the vid and some of the best reactions to the BIG chicken (below)!
Am I the only person wondering why this chicken is so damn big 🤔🤔🤔 pic.twitter.com/ZIWmEL2h2w
— LifesBook_Ceo (@LifesBook_Ceo) March 19, 2017
Even though it looks intimidating, the gentle chicken only weighs an average of about 18 pounds.
Though most of Twitter agreed the feathery beast was scary af:
everytime i close my eyes i see that big chicken. i cant breathe. it's all i think about

Of course, some of the more woke users on Twitter suspected this was all just fowl play:
Just watched the big chicken video, and no shit, did we really think we could cut funding to PBS without Big Bird's family coming after us
— Mara Wilson (@MaraWilson) March 19, 2017
twitter is now the website to talk about the big chicken and not politics. everyone has to pretend to know a lot about the big chicken only

Wolves sign free agent Omri Casspi
The Minnesota Timberwolves signed free agent Omri Casspi on Monday, adding the versatile swingman for the rest of the season after forward Nemanja Bjelica to a season-ending foot injury last week.
Aquirred by the New Orleans Pelicans from the Sacramento Kings as part of the DeMarcus Cousins trade, Casspi played just one game for the Pelicans before before being released after suffering a thumb injury.
Now in his eighth NBA season, Casspi has averaged 6.1 points and four rebounds in 22 games this season, while shooting 46 percent from the field and 39.4 percent from 3-point range.
A first-round pick of the Kings back in 2009, Casspi grew up in Israel and was the first Israeli to play in the NBA.

Great Bend police officer Jefferson Davis and Sgt. Jason Settle recently completed a comprehensive safety and security evaluation of the Police Department building, City Administrator Howard Partington reported to the city council Monday night.
A local Christmas tradition will continue tonight when Holy Family Catholic School presents its annual holiday musical. The curtain goes up on "The Christmas Chronicles" at 7 p.m. in the Barton Community College Fine Arts Auditorium.
There may have been a lot of legs crossed at Great Bend High School Tuesday afternoon.
As the remodeling of the front office of the Great Bend Events Center progresses to accommodate the Convention and Visitors Bureau office, future plans for the facility are taking shape, City Administrator Howard Partington said Monday night.
Bringing the Great Bend Convention and Visitors Bureau under the city's control has been discussed for a couple of years and was among the Great Bend City Council's top three priorities outlined last year. It came to pass Monday night when amendments to the Convention and Tourism Board Ordinance were approved.
As part of the effort to secure the transload facility, the Great Bend City Council Monday night authorized Mayor Mike Allison to sign the amendment to the railroad company Watco's lease agreement at the airport.
Winter has yet to arrive and the flu season is already starting to heat up, local and state health officials say. So, the Barton County Health Department and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment urge all Kansans to get a flu vaccine.
For over 10 years, the county has used a direct fiber link between the Barton County Sheriff's Office and the District Court for first appearance hearings. Not only does this reduce the possibility of escape or an unfavorable interaction with the public, this also reduces stress on staff.
If one wants to experience the impact of Great Bend's now-famous Trail of Lights Christmas display, they need only to take a shift as a greeter at Brit Spaugh Park. This past Thursday evening, over 100 spectators made the glowing circuit to "ooooh" and "awwwww" over the decorations, including a chartered bus load from Montezuma.
Each year, kids make out their Christmas wish lists, hoping they will find the beneath their sparkling tree on Christmas morning. Sadly, for those in needy families, those wishes go unfulfilled.
Two Great Bend men had their first appearance in Barton County District Court Wednesday in connection with the Nov. 15 break-in that resulted in the shooting death of 23-year-old Aron Villegas.
The Great Bend Home for the Holidays Parade, canceled this past Saturday due to the ice storm, will not be rescheduled for this winter, Great Bend Community Coordinator Christina Hayes said Tuesday afternoon.
Sandwiched between Black Friday and Cyber Monday was Small Business Saturday, a national celebration encouraging shoppers to spend their money locally as they finish off their Christmas shopping lists.
It may soon be legal to buy liquor and beer on Sundays in rural parts of Barton County after action by the Barton County Commission Monday morning.
On Tuesday, the Golden Belt Community Foundation and numerous local organizations will join #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving. Occurring this year on Dec. 1, #GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday to kick-off the holiday giving season and inspire people to collaborate in improving their local communities and to give back in ways to the charities and causes they support.

Gifts to public officials and healthcare professionals - .PDF file.
The provision of gifts and hospitality to public officials has recently been the subject of a number of news stories in the Serbian media, covering not only the official reports on the variety of protocol gifts received by the high ranking officials from the leaders of other countries, but also the alleged corruption affairs involving the potential bribing of various lower-level officials by companies and individuals seeking an unfair advantage in the market.
Considering that this important topic is increasingly relevant for the everyday business activities of companies in Serbia, especially in connection with the recent anti-corruption initiatives and increased Government's efforts towards prosecuting organized crime, it should be noted that Serbian regulations contain rather strict rules regarding any kind of gifts provided to both officials and state servants. In addition there are special rules regulating the provision of gifts to healthcare professionals and the sponsorship of their scientific and promotional gatherings…

YMCA branch settles discrimination claim over girl with diabetes
WASHINGTON, DC (WTXF) - A Philadelphia area YMCA reached a settlement agreement with the Justice Department over allegations it denied a girl with type 1 diabetes the opportunity to participate in after-school and summer camp programs.
The feds accused the Philadelphia Freedom Valley YMCA, Rocky Run Branch of violating Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by public accommodations, including private camps and childcare programs.
It said, "Under the ADA, such entities must make reasonable modifications to their policies, practices or procedures when necessary to provide equal access to a child with a disability, unless a modification would fundamentally alter the nature of the goods and services."
It added, "When a parent and a child's physician determine that it is appropriate for a trained layperson to assist a child with diabetes care, a camp or childcare program must provide this as a reasonable modification under the ADA, unless doing so would fundamentally alter the program."
The Justice Department accused the YMCA branch of refusing to administer glucagon if necessary, supervise the child self-administering insulin, limiting the child's participation in the after-school program to 4pm when the program runs until 6pm, and asking the parents to supply an aide to monitor the child in the summer day camp program.
Now, it says the YMCA branch agreed to develop a sample diabetes medical management plan, train its staff on the ADA and diabetes management, and inform parents on how to request modifications for children with disabilities, among other things.
ADA enforcement is a top priority of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. Click here for information on filing a complaint.

Best tuner???
what tuner unleashes the most hp and torque with the 5.9L?Opinions???
sct contact sean powel. hemifever@aol $265 for canned tunes and $365 for custom. he removes torque management unleashing the full potential of are trucks. raises the rpms shift points to 5100. stock truck get the canned tunes 265 shipped get it and plug it in and enjoy..
That SCT sounds pretty legit, but does anyone else have anything? Im interested in the same question as the post.
with any other hand held your limited as to what their presets are. with the SCT you have to option to get custom tunes based on your future upgrades.
But how do you get the custom tunes/know what to tweak?
An person that deals with SCT will do the tuning, usually based on dyno graphs. But I'm sure someone like Sean has caned tunes for the usual bolt ons.
I just bought the Superchips flashpaq 3865 for $200 off ebay. I have to say that I've never been able to spin my tires until now. I programmed the performance tune and haven't tried any of the other tunes because I can't keep my foot out of the pedal now. Best money for HP gain that I've tried so far. I was scheptical at first but it sure is nice to feel more power and throttle response. TS

Watch Kiss and Def Leppard get ice water dunked on them after a concert.
Def Leppard will focus on a new album and world tour before considering another residency in Las Vegas.
Campbell says on-going chemotherapy treatments have meant "sporting a new 'do."
Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell discusses his current chemo treatment and talks about plans to receive a stem-cell transplant later this year.
Phil Collen recently stopped by an Orange County performing arts high school to deliver a master class.
Def Leppard singer Joe Elliot has no interest in being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Def Leppard and Kiss will join forces for a summer 2014 tour, in what is expected to be one of the year's biggest classic rock events of the year.
Def Leppard's Joe Elliott will produce the sophomore record by Black Star Riders, a band featuring former members of Thin Lizzy. Elliott previously worked on the 2011 reissue of Thin Lizzy's 1976 classic 'Jailbreak' album. The Def Leppard singer also produced the first two solo albums by Black Star Riders' Ricky Warwick, who joined Thin Lizzy as vocalist in 2010.
Def Leppard's multi-platinum breakthrough album 'Pyromania' was released on Jan. 20, 1983.
a Def Leppard will enter the studio on February 1 to begin recording its first new studio effort since 2008's No. 5 Billboard hit 'Songs from the Sparkle Lounge.'
2013 was a busy year for Def Leppard, between their Las Vegas residency, assorted live and studio engagements and guitarist Vivian Campbell's treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma. But not busy enough for guitarist Phil Collen, apparently, since he is devoting parts of his holiday season to promoting a new musical endeavor named Delta Deep.
It looks like One Direction have escaped another potential lawsuit for plagiarism. In a recent interview, Def Leppard said that they have no problems with the similarities between their anthem 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' and the boy band's 'Midnight Memories,' saying, "It's all good."

The #Marvel universe is vast and complicated, thanks to the many different movies in the MCU. There's a challenge here that's faced by other superhero franchises too: How do you make costumed heroes, and the worlds they inhabit, seem real to a modern audience? In the past, other superhero movies have not been so successful, aging so poorly that they now look melodramatic and silly. (The 90s and early Noughties were a dark time for superhero films, is what I'm saying.)
However, Marvel Studios has managed to create movies that might be outlandish and fantastical, but also seem tangible — and this is thanks in a large part to the production team, including production designer Charles Wood, who recently spoke to comicbook.com about this.
Unifying The MCU
When asked how he and his team managed to bring the different worlds of the MCU together with our own, Wood explained that really it has everything to do with costume.
"The only unifying thing I would say is that these characters, these larger than life characters, our unifying thing is trying to settle them into whatever worlds we find them in, in a way which is viable. In a way that an audience can look at Captain America, in a Captain America outfit, put him into a farmhouse in upstate New York [in Avengers: Age of Ultron], and believe that guy could exist in that world. Or putting Doctor Strange [in full costume] in a townhouse in New York... The biggest challenge that you take from one Marvel film to another is to try to make these worlds realistic, tangible, viable."
And if that's not an excuse to rewatch Steve Rogers literally tearing wood apart in the backyard of Clint Barton's farmhouse, I don't know what is.
Wood explained that making these very unrealistic situations feel realistic is crucial to the success of the MCU — though it isn't easy.
"Yeah, it is mad stuff, it keeps me on my toes! The thing about a Marvel film, and I suppose many films, is you can confuse an audience very quickly, and you have to try to delineate one world from another very clearly, without making it feel too delineated."
This was certainly a challenge in #DoctorStrange, as the new Sorcerer Supreme quite literally leapt between dimensions on a regular basis. But this isn't a new challenge for the MCU designers — the #Thor movies have always shown different worlds in this fictional universe, and with the introduction of the #GuardiansoftheGalaxy, we're only going to see more new planets in #AvengersInfinityWar. In fact, Wood himself confirmed that the movie would explore "many, many more worlds." And with Wood and his team at the helm, we can be sure they'll all be visually delicious and nicely integrated with the rest of the MCU.
Tell us in the comments: Which is your favorite MCU world?

As I said in my post, surveillance can, in my opinion, be regulated and stopped, often very quickly.
Liberalism, on the other hand, cannot be easily undone. It is like a brain tumor, reaching into the sulci and crevasses of government, society and culture to the point where it cannot be removed without killing the host, which it eventually kills anyway.
Liberalism is the chicken, and this surveillance is the egg.
I think we can agree we're discussing the relative horrors of two liberty destroying phenomena. Fair enough. Both suck. ;-)

Lee Sin Build
Purchase Order
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Introduction - LEGENDS TELLS, OF A MYTH OF A TALE OF A STORY
Hello to all who might read this guide. Let's get to the chase: I have played several games so far with Lee Sin, and this build might have been the best I used. I used it since I made it, which is for 2 weeks. This build is immensely powerful - which I will depict in the next couple of chapters. I am also not an expert with photoshop or BBCoding so don't expect something fancy.
Runes - Why these?
The reasons I picked the runes above:
I get fairly amazing starting defense, and a little bit more damage on the side. Helps through Jungle without Cloth Armor.
When ganking, they feel so vivid and you feel the HUGE difference between this and No runes at all.
You can obviously go with every other Lee Sin recommended Rune Page - but this is my favorite and the one I use and suggest you too.
Masteries - Why these?
For the masteries, I have no real explanation except the fact they are my personal pick, and I find it better because of (reasons). Again, You can also go with the other things people here on MOBAfire recommend - Your choice.
Summary - A KICK THAT CAN BREAK EVERY BONE YOU OWN SO EASILY
Lee Sin is a powerful Assassin Tank, Which I am sure you are aware of, a fact that makes him an amazing jungler \ roamer. In Early game, pick up the Red buff, move up to the wolves, and gank top immediately. Grab a kill for you or your teammate, but DO NOT DIVE.You are not as OP as you think at level 2. Just not. Afterwards, casual jungler play - At about the part where you have Atma's Impaler, You move up to aggressively invade their jungle after each teamfight you survive - Prevent any farm from their team. If you can, plant a ward near where you want to steal, and use Safeguard on it to run if you are spotted. And by aggressively, you also move up to push their turrets where you can - Don't waste time, SHOOT ALL OF YOUR MONK-ISH LASERS AT THE MINIONS, and push the heck out of their Turrets. Your team will thank you eventually.
In short - You are a Tank, that deals heavy punishment, and can suffer as much as punishment. Your attack damage isn't amazing, but it is very powerful when you use your abilities. And most important - Have fun! Don't get discouraged by d-bags or sucky games.
Pros / Cons - OUT OF NOWHERE, KICK IN THE FACE, DISGRACE YOUR FAMILY AND TH
You are very durable.
You deal heavy damage in 1v1`s, even greater when you have your Ultimate inside a teamfight.
Double damage from your Q - Unfair!
You can't win 1vs#. Sorry about that.
Team Work - OH, WHAT A SUPPER EFFECTIVE PLAN
All you have to do while playing, is the standard stuff - Shield your almost dead partners, Kick people away from your carry, Slow chasers, Heck, sacrifice yourself so your carry could survive when you think you can take the beat of it, around minute 35ish.
That's all I have to say really.
Disclaimer - The Yordles Band
Of course, all things here related to their song of Lee Sin, are their own, and not mine, I did not write these lyrics, and on top of it all I want to say I love them and this song inspired me to sit here and write for so long. If you haven't heard them yet, here's the song of Lee Sin - Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA04nbviQ8E&feature=BFa&list=PL964005A0D6CDB25C&shuffle=402771

- are living in Australia and have applied for permanent residency
Complete a Medicare Enrolment Application form.
How to enrol
You need to visit a service centre with your:
- completed Medicare enrolment application form
- passport or travel document as well as for the people listed on your application
- 2 documents confirming you're living in Australia
Documents to confirm you're living in Australia
You'll need to provide original or certified copies of:
- 2 Australian documents, or
- 1 Australian document and 1 document proving you're no longer living in New Zealand
You can use the following to confirm you're living in Australia:
- a work contract

If you hadn't already heard, Pantone, world-renowned color trend experts, threw us a curveball with their annual Color of the Year announcement. The market leader proclaimed not one but two colors — Serenity Blue and Rose Quartz — as the reigning shades of 2016. We don't know about you, but we are head over heels for this pretty blend of cotton candy hues. So, if you're still clinging to last year's marsala-inspired looks, it's time to loosen that grip. To get you on board this color train, we compiled a list of products that are inspired by the Pantone 2016 Colors of the Year. Enjoy!
L'Oréal Paris Infallible 24 HR Eye Shadow in Infinite Sky
It's time to break those fears and pre-existing notions surrounding blue eye shadow! Contrary to popular belief, a sky blue lid is not designated to '80's-themed ensembles or your sweet little grandmother. Soft blue shadow, when done right, can lend a lovely ethereal look that's downright fabulous!
Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Blush in Obsessed
Sweet pink cheeks are always in style, so a Rose Quartz-colored blush is right up our alley! Dust a little on the apples of your cheeks and blend upward toward your temples so the color is subtle and natural.
NYX Cosmetics Macaron Lippies in Blue Velvet
OK, we know what you're thinking: "Whaaat?!" We get that this isn't exactly an everyday kind of shade, but, really, this light blue lipstick can be a fun look for a night out with the girls! And, a fresh new year means switching it up. Make sure you keep the rest of your makeup soft and minimal (neutral eyes and light peach or pink cheeks) to avoid the "clown effect."
RELATED: How to Make Black and Blue Lipstick Wearable (Really!)
Maybelline Baby Lips Moisturizing Lip Gloss in Pink Pizazz
If you're going to stick to any resolutions this year, may we recommend that it be keeping this little lip gloss handy at all times. The soft pink tint gives your lips the perfect boost of color that will literally work with any outfit — whether it's your fave jeans and T-shirt combo or your go-to cocktail dress.
Essie in Saltwater Happy
Serenity Blue makes quite the flattering statement on nails. A soft blue mani is a great staple for any look and any skin tone. Let's just call this one a no-brainer.
Giorgio Armani Eye Tint in Rose Platinum
We covered blue lids, now it's time to sing the praises of Rose Quartz. The shimmery light pink eye tint is great for brightening up those peepers. Dab a dot or two of this liquid-based formula on your lids and blend upward with your fingers for a pretty pink sheen. Make sure you get the inner corners of the eyes to really make them pop!

|Quoting nrt1011 (Thread starter):
Thai has used the lovely A346 exclusively for a number of years. Recently they have change to the 747-400,any ideas why?
|Quoting qf002 (Reply 3):
More Y, less J.
We'll be getting the A380 next year, which is a pretty clear signal that they're going for the Y market at SYD these days. Perhaps we could see an A380/A346 combo (that would be VERY welcome!).
|Quoting EK413 (Reply 7):
TG have shelved plans to operate their A380 down under
|Quoting lightsaber (Reply 2):
That tells me that is where the demand is. The A346 has been sent to where the front cabin will be filled. I would ask where? My first guess would be PEK or PVG. SYD apparently fills the back of the plane well though...
|Quoting IndianicWorld (Reply 1):
Higher capacity?
|Quoting FCAFLYBOY (Reply 9):
I'm always suprised people assume Thailand is a low yield market, perhaps yes outbound from OZ, but from Europe and especially LHR, there is a sizeable F/J market . Hence the number of high-end resorts
that have opened in Thailand in recent years.

EducationI had a steady 3.7 gpa in high school, but since have moved on to art school where I now have a balanced Art and Liberal Art education. I am working toward my Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Art Institute of Chicago.
ExperienceI was placed in the upper 90% tile for both math and english on both my SAT and ACT. I would love to be a tutor because I am very understanding, love working through problems, and love to spread education to those I am with. I was in the Honors Society in High school, and also was a finalist in the Scholastic Art Awards in 2011. I have since started my art degree at one of the most accredited art schools in the nation, and have taken up multiple internships and jobs since. I feel that I am ready to pass down the knowledge that I have to those that are struggling.
HobbiesI am an artist that works mostly with video, sound, and internet as my mediums. I also am studying music, and I do live performances with both music and visuals. My more personal hobbies include working out, meditating, and cooking! Health and well-being are what I believe to be the basics for a good life.

text: Scout Report: Why dual position players are crucial Tue 04 Feb, 2014, 12:30pm Lone Scout, NRL.com Tweet Email Print Dual position players like Warriors skipper Simon Mannering can be worth their weight in gold in Holden NRL Fantasy. Copyright: Grant Trouville/NRL Photos. Credit: Grant Trouville/NRL Photos Copyright: Grant Trouville/NRL Photos The NRL season is just a month away, Holden NRL Fantasy is up and running, and thousands of budding coaches are already fine-tuning their squads ahead of the new season.One key factor in picking your starting Fantasy squad is keeping an eye on dual position players. These utility men can be crucial to your team's success – this year more than ever. Here's why.1. FlexibilityHaving players who can cover two positions is handy for NRL coaches, and it's the same for Fantasy coaches as well. This is obvious as soon as you start picking your squad. Want Anthony Milford, but have an eye on three other star fullbacks? Put Milford in your halves. Want cash cow Nathan Peats in your team, but prefer to pick two star hookers? Put Peats into your second row.This year Fantasy itself will be flexible when it comes to dual position players. In previous seasons each player's position was locked in at the start of the season, but this year if a player is listed in one position but begins to regularly play in another, they may be made available in that second position in Fantasy. So keep a close eye on those halfbacks who are moved into dummy-half and centres who get used on the wing this season.2. Injury coverOne simple way to boost your squad's depth is to pick dual position players in matching positions. For instance, by having Milford in your halves and Jarryd Hayne (another dual fullback/half) at winger/fullback, if one of the two gets injured you can switch the other into his place. Likewise, having a few dual front-row/second-row players in your pack (like Paul Gallen, Sam Burgess, Trent Merrin, etc) should give you cover in case any of those players are sidelined. This is particularly helpful if you've got decent cover in one position but not the other, and in the middle part of the season when all clubs are affected by the bye schedule. Cheap dual-position players are equally useful – even if you don't plan of playing them in your starting squad, they can be switched with stronger dual position players to ensure your team is close to full strength at all times.3. Save tradesThis is where dual position players will become really crucial this season. For the first time, Fantasy coaches are now allowed to make unlimited positional changes during a trade. What that means is that you can trade a player out, reshuffle your squad as much as you like, then trade a new player in in an entirely different position.Here's an example. Say it's time to trade out one of your cash cow winger/fullbacks, but you want to strengthen your squad in the front row. If you had a few dual position players (like Will Hopoate, Kyle Stanley, Feleti Mateo and Trent Merrin) in your squad, you could do the following:- select your winger/fullback to trade out and then move Will Hopoate (dual CTR & WFB) from centre to wing/fullback; - switch Kyle Stanley (dual CTR & HLF) from your halves to your centres;- switch Feleti Mateo (dual 2RF & HLF) from the second row to the halves; - switch Trent Merrin (dual FRF & 2RF) from the front row to the second row;- and then trade in a front rower.In previous years trading out a winger and trading in a prop would use two of your allocated 34 trades, but now – if you've got a few utility players – you can do it in one move. As veteran fantasy coaches will know, saving an extra trade here and there can be crucial in the late part of the season.If you're now starting to think about picking a few more dual position players in your squad, here are a few of the best for each position.

Johannesburg - The South African Reserve Bank has hiked interest rates by a further 0.5 percent percent as the economy continues to take strain.
Citing growth constraints to the economy, with GDP now expecting to only come in at 1.3 percent in 2015, and potential upside risks to inflation, reserve bank governor Lesetja Kganyago said the committee had taken an accommodative approach to interest rates.
"The bank's estimate of potential output growth was revised down from 1.9 percent to 1.5 percent for 2016, and from 2.1 percent to 1.6 percent for 2017." Kganyago said the bank had to balance growth constraints with inflation, which was being pushed by food prices as SA's worst drought on record eats into production.
This hike takes the repo rate to 6.75 percent percent from 6.25 percent and the main lending rate from 9.75 percent to 10.25 percent. This is the third hike in a row, after two consecutive 0.25 percent hikes in the second half of last year and will weigh on concerns that SA is in an upward rate cycle.
The Reserve Bank's mandate is to keep consumer price inflation in a bracket of 3 percent to 6 percent. However, Inflation climbed to a one-year high of 5.2 percent in December, from 4.8 percent the month before. The Producer Price Index has also been climbing and Investec expects both CPI and PPI to hit 7 percent this year.
In a statement, the governor said inflation is now expected to average 6.8 percent in 2016 and 7 percent in 2017.
This compares with the previous forecast of 6 per cent and 5.8 percent for these years.
"Inflation is still expected to breach the upper end of the target in the first quarter of 2016, but is now expected to remain outside the target for the entire forecast period. A peak of 7.8 percent is expected in the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017," he told journalists in Pretoria on Thursday afternoon.
Several economists and analysts had predicted a rate hike of at least 0.25 percent, with some suggesting a 0.5 percent increase was necessary to pull SA's rand back to calmer waters.
All but two of the 26 economists surveyed by Bloomberg predict the central bank will raise the benchmark rate from 6.25 percent, with the majority anticipating more than the 25 basis-point adjustments made twice of 2015 as growth prospects dim.
The rand has slumped 30 percent against the dollar since the start of last year and has failed to break past the R15 mark. The push factors have included fears over emerging markets, a commodities rout, power shortages and also lost ground somewhat after a decision by President Jacob Zuma in December to fire Nhlanhla Nene as finance minister.
There have also been suggestions that the rand has been manipulated downwards by the big banks, which have either illegally manipulated the currency, or sold it short.
There are also increasing worries that SA, Africa's most industrialised economy, will slip into a recession this year.
SA narrowly missed a recession last year when third quarter growth recovered somewhat by gaining 0.7 percent after the economy contracted 1.3 percent in the second quarter.
The likelihood of Africa's most-industrialised economy contracting for two successive quarters in 2016 is 45 percent, according to the median estimate of nine economists surveyed by Bloomberg this month. That's up from a 25 percent probability in December. Four of the analysts predict a recession this year.
According to the International Monetary Fund, SA 's gross domestic product will only expand by 0.7 percent this year. That forecast has been slashed by almost half.
The bank will "act with resolve" if inflationary pressures from the weaker rand spread more broadly in the economy, Kganyago said in an interview with Bloomberg TV in Davos last week. He also said 25 basis points isn't a "small" adjustment.
