Risen 2 - Best of Screenshots

Here's Mara from my game
Alas one more thing. Since I'm replaying the game I've tried to blast the door in the temple with bombs and powder kegs… Couldn't make it. In my first run, I didn't open that "door" in the Temple of Fire… Actually I didn't know it's openable at all. And it is openable! And I thought there's nothing more in the game I still haven't found… Geez…
You just need to use the sceptre you looted from Garcia, I'm adding also a screenshots sequence - the rod can move objects and will press impossible button that's very high in the room.
Oh and not to mention that I've found two more suspicious things that might be bugs - I'll report them on the official site. Remember when players were not happy because if you spare the deserter, then Garcia, his men and all villagers go hostile on you? Yea, there are two more ways to make them all hostile. One is if you report to the shaman where is the secret passage - before you tell that to Corientes (Garcia). Another one is if you use Nuff Said skill in the third test given by village chief (defeat harmak). I guess I got lucky in my first run not stumbling on any of these "traps".

Insane Clown Posse Sue FBI
After the FBI labelled all their Juggalo fans as an official gang, the band have fought back with a lawsuit. Whatever you think of the band, it's a cause that deserves some support - read more about it here.
The Insane Clown Posse have filed a lawsuit against the FBI for classifying their Juggalo fan base as a gang.
This means fans of the band are considered the equivalent of Bloods, Crip or the Aryan Brotherhood.
The effects of this label means that anyone arrested while wearing Insane Clown Posse merch, or displaying a tattoo of the band, will be charged as a gang member which can have serious implications on the type of punishment they receive.
Worse, there is a fear that real gangs who use violence will start to target their fans.
"The idea of calling the Juggalos and Juggalettes a "gang" is straight up bullsh-t," said the band on their website. "We are not a gang! We are a family! We come together for our luv of the Insane Clown Posse, Psychopathic Records, and our Juggalo pride".
They continued: "This is the first time in the history of rock-n-roll that any music fans have been labeled as a "gang" and that's probably because it makes no damn sense!"
Whatever you think of the rap outfit, it's a serious matter and their cause deserves some support in the name of music.
If you're an ICP fan who has been affected by the new gang affiliation, you can visit juggalosfightback.com for free legal help.
Watch their emotional plea to fans at their annual Gathering of the Juggalos in the video below.

The Glenwood Community School District is doing away with its early retirement leave incentive for licensed and classified staff.
The Glenwood Board of Education voted last Monday to forgo the policy that offers employees that have served the district for 15 consecutive years a one-time incentive financial package for early retirement. The board voted to retain the rates offered in the current incentive policy for the next three years. The incentive will be eliminated following the 2014-2015 school year.
The status of Glenwood Community High School Principal Kerry Newman, who has been on paid leave since Jan. 18, was among the topics of discussion Monday in a meeting between Glenwood Superintendent Devin Embray and school board President Theresa Romens.
The Glenwood Community High School Music Department was represented by 14 students auditioning for the Iowa All-State Chorus and Band on Oct. 20 at Harlan High School. Selection for membership in the All-State ensembles is the highest individual honor a high school musician can achieve. Approximately 17 percent of those that audition are selected for membership in these prestigious groups.
High school and middle school students from Glenwood were reminded of the importance of making smart choices during a special homecoming week presentation by the survivor of a fiery automobile crash.
Students at East Mills Middle and High Schools are entering a new era of scholastics - East Mills rolled out a 1-to-1 Learning Program on Wednesday, Aug.15.
This is the first year for the 1-to- 1 Program in East Mills, although many school districts in Iowa are attempting to implement a similar program. Technology teacher Lisa Allen explained the 1-to-1 Program in East Mills as "a learning environment in which all students are given the same opportunities to work with staff, peers and themselves."
Their piggy banks may be a little lighter, but students at Northeast Elementary School in Glenwood went home for the summer on May 23 knowing the pennies they had gathered and contributed will help bring new life to a playground for the children of Thurman.
An April 14 tornado left a trail of destruction in Thurman, severely damaging homes, vehicles and trees throughout the community, along with playground equipment in the city park.
Glenwood Community High School vocal music instructor Kay Fast was honored last week as one of two recipients of the Charles E. Lakin Outstanding Teacher Awards. Red Oak kindergarten teacher Melinda Smits was also recognized. Fast's award was presented during a surprise ceremony in front of her colleagues, students and family members.
The 24 new members of the Glenwood Honor Keys chapter of the National Honor Society were inducted at a ceremony in the Glenwood Community High School auditorium last Monday, April 2.
The formal induction took place following an address from GCHS principal Kerry Newman and a ceremonial candle-lighting ceremony involving current members of the Glenwood Honor Keys chapter.
Escorted by the flashing lights of a cruiser from the Iowa State Patrol and serenaded by the sounds of a fire truck siren, Glenwood's Rhapsody in Gold Jazz Choir returned home victorious last Wednesday from the Iowa Jazz Championships in Waverly.
Qualifying for the state championships for only the second time in school history, Glenwood came away from the competition at Wartburg College with the No. 1 rating and state championship trophy for Class 3A.
If there is one thing Stan Winquist hopes his students learn in his career transitions class, it's all the things he didn't learn before leaving high school and college and entering the workforce.
"It all comes down to teaching the things I wish someone would have taught me," Winquist said. "Most of what I'm teaching them is what I learned because I screwed up and I don't want it to happen to somebody else.

28 October 2008 Horror, Thriller 95 mins
What kind of scenes in a horror film scares you the most? When a ghost appears totally unexpectedly? When the main character does not see the ghost sneaking up behind him?

Watch: Official US Trailer for Ramin Bahrani's Latest Film '99 Homes'
by Alex Billington
June 1, 2015
Source: YouTube
"Fifty dollars shouldn't be a joke to you, son!" Broad Green Pictures has finally debuted an official trailer for 99 Homes, the latest film from Ramin Bahrani, a very talented American filmmaker who has worked in the indie scene for years. A few years ago we were big supporters of At Any Price, but recommend any of Bahrani's previous films: Man Push Cart, Chop Shop, Goodbye Solo, etc. Also - see this one. 99 Homes stars Andrew Garfield as a young father, who decides to join the real estate business and work for the man that took his house from him. Michael Shannon co-stars, along with Laura Dern. The film is very powerful, and emotionally draining, but a very important film for these times. It's tough to watch, but so well made.
Here's the official US trailer for Ramin Bahrani's 99 Homes, found originally on YouTube:
99 Homes is directed by Ramin Bahrani (Man Push Cart, Chop Shop, Goodbye Solo, At Any Price) and written by Amir Naderi and Bahareh Azimi‐Khoie. The story follows an unemployed contractor (Andrew Garfield) who gets evicted from his family home with his mother and his nine‐year old son. Desperate to get his home back, he strikes a deal to work for the powerful, greedy, charming, gun‐toting real estate broker (Michael Shannon) who evicted him. While it puts a roof over his son's head, becoming the broker's apprentice puts the contractor in a moral bind where he must decide if providing a home for his family is worth sacrificing his soul and values. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival & TIFF in late 2014. Broad Green Pictures will finally release Bahrani's 99 Homes in theaters starting September 25th, 2015.

One Night Only
By: Hitokiri Musei
Rated: M
Summary: Atem and Yugi love each other, but they have one night only to express their love before Atem is called home to the afterlife. Inspired by Jennifer Hudson's beautiful "One Night Only."
I'm not sure if it's a lemon... it's definietly a lime, but I'm sure if it's enough to be a lemon... I know, it's in the middle, so it's an orange!!! HAHAHA... yea, that really wasn't...funny... yea... nevermind...
Okay, YAOI ALERT! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN PLEASE DON'T READ IT! Okay, I'm done.
Me no own "One Night Only" or Yu-Gi-Oh!
One night only, one night only
Come on big baby come on
One night only, we only have 'til dawn
In the morning this feeling will be gone
It has no chance going on
Something so right has got no chance to live
So let's forget about chances, this one night I will give
//Can I come out now, Pharaoh… I mean, Atem?//
The ancient spirit smiled gently placing his deck on the desk and scooted the chair away from the table. /Of course, Yugi. I'm finished./
Yugi appeared beside him, his body transparent. The boy smiled at his other half, his violet eyes shining faintly. "Well, I think that I'm ready for this. What about you?"
Atem didn't return the smile. "I'm… not sure, aibou. I want to return to the afterlife, but I don't know if I can stand through a duel with you…"
Yugi's smile grew laughing. "Of course you can. You're the King of Games, remember? Dueling me should be a piece of cake." The boy grinned. "But I warn you, I'm not going to go easy on you."
Atem finally smiled. "I wouldn't have it any other way, Yugi."
The Pharaoh settled on the bed, leaning back against the pillows and folding his arms behind his head. Yugi sat beside him, but the bed didn't move with his weight. They sat in comfortable silence, no words needed between them for communication.
"Atem, I'm really going to miss you…" Yugi said softly after a while.
The spirit looked to his aibou. "I'll miss you too, Yugi." He looked back to the ceiling, tightening his fingers where they were laced together behind his head. "I don't really know if I'm ready…"
Yugi frowned, turning to look at the ancient Pharaoh. He almost never saw this side of the spirit; Atem didn't like to show it. He was a ruler, a Pharaoh of Egypt. He was supposed to be calm and proud, always composed and knowing. What Atem didn't want anyone to see was that he was just like any other teenager, worried, nervous, and sometimes emotional.
Atem fidgeted where he sat, but then he stood, pacing around the room. Yugi sighed, watching his other walk around.
"It's just… I've been with you for so long Yugi. I've become… attached. I don't know if I can just leave you." Atem rubbed his long fingers against his chin thoughtfully. "Four years, Yugi. It's been that long. I've always been there. I've had you to protect. But what will I have there? What will be my purpose?"
Yugi sighed again, standing and putting his hands on Atem's shoulders, but they unfortunately passed right through the Pharaoh's skin. "Please, Atem, you're going to wear a hole in the floor." Atem sat rather sharply on the chair in front of the desk, his crimson eyes staring up at the boy. "Atem, you can't think like this. If you are nervous and unsure, then I don't think you'll be able to do this."
Atem frowned. "But Yugi… I need a purpose. You have been my purpose for these last years. What will I do after this?"
Yugi didn't have a reply for that one, but after a while he moved towards his other half. He wished that he could touch him, but his hands passed right through Atem's body. "You will be their Pharaoh. It is what they need, and what you are good at."
Atem frowned, reaching out towards Yugi's cheek. His fingers passed through the boy's face, but Yugi leaned towards the touch anyway. "No… No it's not. I don't know if I can do it, Yugi…"
Yugi's face fell. "Gods, I wish I could touch you, Atem…" The boy reached out once more, trying to touch Atem's face.
To both of their shock, Yugi's fingers met warm flesh. Atem closed his eyes, leaning into the touch, but then he realized what had happened, and his eyes flew wide, shocked. "Y-Yugi…"
"I… I can feel you…" Yugi whispered, cupping the spirit's cheek.
They stared at each other for a moment, and then their lips meshed together as Yugi threw himself into Atem's lap, wrapping his arms around the Pharaoh's neck. Atem wrapped his arms tightly around Yugi's waist, tilting his head to the side and thrusting his tongue into the boy's mouth.
Their tongues fought for dominance for a moment, Yugi's hands tangled in Atem's hair, the Pharaoh's arms tight around the smaller, one hand at the nape of Yugi's neck as he crushed the boy's mouth to his own. The fight ended with Atem as the victor, and he drove himself deep in Yugi's mouth, causing the boy to moan in ecstasy, arching his lithe body into Atem's touch.
Their mouths parted with a soft smacking sound, Yugi's lips already swollen and bruised from Atem's strong kisses. Yugi breathed heavily for a moment, and then he dove back for Atem's lips, this time taking control of the kiss, straddling Atem's waist and bringing himself up above the Pharaoh's level, controlling the movements of the other's head by his grip on the tricolored hair.
Atem moaned into the passionate touch, allowing Yugi to dictate the actions, feeling amazed that his precious innocent little aibou could be so dominant and demanding.
Yugi panted against Atem's lips, his hands remaining tangled in his hair, his violet eyes dark with desire and want. "Atem…"
Atem nearly moaned once more at the sound of Yugi's voice, husky and laced with lust. "Yes, my love?"
Yugi leaned forward, placing his lips against the Pharaoh's right ear. Atem shivered as the little one's hot breath ghosted over his skin, sending prickles across his flesh. "Make love to me…"
A gasp escaped the Pharaoh as he lowered his hands, grasping Yugi's small bottom and lifting him up, bringing him closer than he thought possible. He instantly attacked the pale neck and chest in front of him, his teeth nipping around the black collar and the top of the tank top.
Yugi raised his arms, allowing Atem to remove the shirt and throw it to the ground. The boy cried out softly as his Pharaoh's teeth explored the new expanse of skin that was revealed, his hands clenching in the spiky hair.
Nipping, kissing, licking, and sucking his way across Yugi's chest, Atem allowed his hands to trail down the boy's sides, his long slender fingers dancing across the pale, supple skin, eliciting moans and shivers of delight.
Atem growled lowly in his throat, leaning down and fastening his lips around a small pink nipple, sucking and nipping delicately. Yugi cried out once more, throwing his head back and arching into the feel, his body bucking in Atem's lap. The Pharaoh wrapped his arms tighter around the slender back, his lips locked at Yugi's chest as he suckled gently and yet firmly.
The moan of his name set the Pharaoh's blood afire and with a rather savage snarl Atem moved back up to Yugi's mouth, viciously attacking the soft pink lips, sucking on the tongue offered to him as he kissed his small lover. Yugi could do little more than cling to Atem's broad shoulders, his body arching and twisting into each new feeling that his other gave to him.
Their mouths moved against each other, tongues battling, teeth clicking together as they traveled over each other desperately, seeking contact and love that they knew would only last for a short time.
They only had this one night, and they had to make it last.
Atem tilted his head, his lips separating from Yugi's to give him room to breathe. "Gods, Yugi, you're so beautiful…"
"I love you… love you… love…" Yugi chanted softly, his hands absorbed in their task of massaging the Pharaoh's skull, setting the ancient spirit to purring like a kitten at the feel.
"I… I don't… I shouldn't…" Atem murmured incoherently, shivering beneath Yugi as the boy pushed him to the bed and onto his back.
"Don't think about that…" Yugi replied, straddling the Pharaoh as he lay on his back. He danced his fingers over Atem's chest, and then slipped his hands beneath the black tank top and pulled it over the other's head in one swift movement. "All that matters is we have this one chance… Don't waste it, love…"
The boy bit sharply on Atem's collarbone, making the Pharaoh cry out and arch his back off the bed, nearly bucking Yugi off of him. His skin was electrified, as though a thousand volts had been plugged into his body, every touch from Yugi was magnified and getting whatever reaction Yugi could possibly want from the simplest things.
"Damnit Atem, I want you." Yugi said sharply, his eyes locking with the crimson orbs. "I've never wanted anything more in my life. I want to feel you inside me, I want to move with you, feel your naked flesh against my own. Don't deny me that."
Atem stared at the other. Yugi was supposedly so innocent and young, when in reality he was just like any other teenager, in need of love and full of desire and lust. He swallowed thickly, nervously, and then nodded. "Okay…"
"Love me…" Yugi whispered in the Pharaoh's ear, wrapping his arms around that strong neck and pressing his small body flush against the other's. "Love me until dawn, because that's all we have…"
"As you wish, aibou…"
Within moments their clothes were on the floor, the blankets pulled over their sweat-soaked bodies as they pressed against each other. Yugi arched his back, pressing his body closer to Atem, at which the Pharaoh groaned out a response. They moved as one, like they always had, but now they were one flesh, one body, joined in one of the most intimate ways possible.
Though they had spent years as one person, and Yugi had thought that two souls entwined was the most intimate you could get, he had never felt anything like this. He could feel Atem, deep inside him, and he wanted to keep him there, and never let him go. He could feel Atem's strong heartbeat, pounding within his ribcage. He could hear and feel the erratic breathing that ghosted across his ear as Atem struggled to remain still, not wanting to hurt him.
But then the Pharaoh was moving, his body surging within him, the friction and heat bringing so much pleasure that Yugi felt his whole body explode in a flashing light. His first orgasm ripped through him, but Atem was not done yet.
The Pharaoh continued to move, his hips thrusting strongly against Yugi as his arms held the smaller in place, his breath panting across the younger's ear. "I love you… I love you… Yugi… love…"
"God, Atem…"
Yugi orgasmed for the second time, Atem followed seconds behind him, collapsing onto the small body. They panted, exchanging soft kisses and gentle touches, Atem's hands caressing that pale body, worshipping this small miracle in his life. "I love you, Yugi…"
"Love you… Atem…"
They made love again and again, but as the sun rose, it found the two entwined around each other, sound asleep and dead to the world. Atem was resting his head against Yugi's chest, his arms wrapped securely around the slender waist. Yugi's cheek rested against Atem's hair, one hand around the broad shoulders, another tangled in the tricolored locks.
Yugi awoke reluctantly, not shifting in his position. He looked out the window, and watched the sun rise silently through the sky. He knew that they were nearly at their destination; it was time to get up.
The spirit opened his eyes, looked up at Yugi. He smiled, pressing a soft kiss against the pale skin above Yugi's heart. "I love you."
"I love you too." Yugi whispered, tears filling his violet eyes. "Kiss me… one last time before the sun comes up… Please… Don't let this night end…"
Their lips met, but even as they kissed Atem's form faded, and he was drawn back into the depths of Yugi's mind, to stay there until the battle later that day, where he would lose and move on to the afterlife where he belonged.
The pair had one night only, and they had drawn it out as long as they possibly could.
Hooray for random oneshots... Hope you liked it, please review!

Puu O Mahkua is a trail which leads to a point where you can overview Waimea Bay. It's really pretty and super easy to get there and it only takes you 10 Minutes. So I wouldn't really call it a hike. :) It was really cool to see Waimea Bay from the top and the jumping rock. Also since it's so close to Waimea Bay you can easily combine those things and go to the beach afterwards.

Economic Growth Takes Place when
- There is Increase in the national Income of a Country
- Or Increase in Country's Productive Capacity
To understand the concept of Economic Growth, we use many tools like that of the Production possibility Curve. Let us first describe this simple concept :
Production Possibility Curve
The PPC represents a Boundary in the sense that it shows the current availability of resources and technical knowledge, a country cannot produce beyond its potential capacity. So the PPC is therefore a Short Run Diagram; in the long run the PPC can be increased. So it is shifted forwards or rightwards. It is generally considered that country's PPC curve Shifts forward but there are certain possibilities that it may go leftwards.
For Example: Countries that are going through warfare, Lets take Afghanistan whose Aggregate Demand decrease to a very high level during the war period and even after the war. We can also take another example of Revolution as in the country of Iran during the Khomeini revolution which flew a lot of foreign investment and a decrease Aggregate Demand during his regime. Such factors of war, natural disaster or war basically affects the factors of Consumption, Investment and Government Expenditure that as a consequence affects the Aggregate Demand which slows down the economy.
Graphically describing the PPC
The Above Graph shows all the possible combinations of two goods which can be produced at any one time, given existing resources. If all resources are devoted to producing Good X, than ON units can be Produced. If however, all resources are used to produce Good Y, than OM units can be produced. If a combination of X and Y is desired than all possible combinations are shown by the line MN which is drawn convex to the origin.
This line shows both factor combination and factor substitution. It shows how a country's factors of production can be combined in different ways in order to vary the pattern of Output. It also shows how factors can be substituted for each other in order to produce less of one good and more of another. We also see a shift in the PPC that couldn't possibility be the Increase in the potential capacity of country's production. For example : Technological Factor, Increase in Capital etc showing the shift as N1M1.

Man City recovers to win 4-2 at Fulham in EPL
Credit: The Associated Press
LONDON — Manchester City substitutes Jesus Navas and James Milner recovered a 4-2 victory at Fulham on Saturday after the visitors threw away a two-goal lead in a rain-lashed English Premier League encounter.
Yaya Toure put City in front with his fourth goal from a free kick this season and captain Vincent Kompany fired in City's second just before halftime.
But five minutes after the break City conceded possession near the Fulham penalty area, and Kieran Richardson completed a rapid counterattack to begin the hosts' fightback.

Paulo Freire's Theory of Oppression Paulo Freire (1921-1997) A Brazilian Educator
His early childhood experience of living in poverty
Earned a Law Degree at the University of Recife
Director of the Department of Cultural Extension
Forced into exile for 15 years by the Brazilian military
Visiting Professor at Harvard University
Pedagogy of the Oppressed Oppression Banking Concept of Education Problem-Posing Banking Concept of Education The more students work at storing the deposits entrusted to them, the less they develop critical thinking skills a. the teacher teaches and the students are taught;
b. the teacher knows everything and the students know nothing;
c.the teacher thinks and the students are thought about;
d. the teacher talks and the students listen--meekly
e. the teacher disciplines and the students are disciplined;
f.the teacher chooses and enforces their choice, and the students comply; g.the teacher acts and the students have the illusion of acting through the action of the teacher;
h. the teacher chooses the program content, and the students adapt to it;
i. the teacher confuses the authority of knowldge with their own professional authority, which they set in opposition to the freedom of the students;
j. the teacher is the Subject of the learning process, while the students are mere objects.
"I didn't understand anything because of my hunger, I wasn't dumb.
It wasn't lack of interest. My social condition didn't allow me to have
an education. Experience showed me once again the relationship
between social class and knowlege"-- Paulo Freire Oppression is overwhelming control,"an act is oppressive only when it prevents people from being more fully human" Humanization is characterized in terms of:
-Yearning for freedom and justice
-Struggle to recover humanity
-Overcoming alienation
-Affirmation of the individual Dehumanization is characterized in terms of:
-Those robbed of their humanity
-Those who have robbed others of their humanity Banking Education attitudes and practices which mirror an oppressive society The student records, memorizes, and repeats Knowledge is a gift bestowed by those who consider themselves knowledgeable upon those whom they consider to know nothing. Students are seen as empty vessels waiting to be filled. It attemps to control thinking and action, which leads students to adjust to the world and inhibits their creative power Problem-posing education is responding to the essence of consiousness which embodies communication. Education that consists in acts of cognition, not transferrals of information. Breaks with the vertical patterns characterized in banking education. Through dialogue, the teacher-of-the-students and the students-of-the-teacher cease to exist and a new term emerges: teacher-student with student-teacher. Education is seen as the practice of freedom, opposed to education as the practice of domination.

Today, according to Oregon Republicans, the Oregon Department of Revenue released the latest revenue forecast, predicting enough additional tax revenue to trigger the "kicker" and return an expected $349 million to Oregon taxpayers. "Boosted by lower energy prices leading to more disposable income, Oregon's economy is on the rise, and the voter-enacted kicker will boost this prosperity," said Senate Republican Leader Ted Ferrioli (R-John Day).
Representative Jodi Hack (R-Salem) announced plans to increase state government oversight and accountability with a legislative proposal to amend Oregon's constitution to allow for impeachment procedures of the executive branch. This announcment follows an earlier call by another republican legislator for a big overhaul of Oregon's ethics rules.
Jerome Kersey, the small forward who played his first 11 NBA seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers and helped the San Antonio Spurs win the 1999 title, has died. He was 52.

The lieutenant position is the patrol division commander and serves as acting police chief in the absence of the chief.
Coast Guard crews responded to a report of a disabled vessel and assisted local law enforcement personnel with the arrest of a mariner in Ilwaco, Friday.

Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber has just announced his resignation.
Kitzhaber, who has served for nearly 40 years and was just re-elected to a fourth term in November, faced calls to resign by the leaders of his own party and appeared to have virtually no support in state government circles.
The governor's resignation will take effect Wednesday, Feb. 18 at 10 a.m.
His resignation letter read, in part, "It is not in my nature to walk away from a job I have undertaken – it is to stand and fight for the cause. For that reason I apologize to all those people who gave of their faith, time, energy and resources to elect me to a fourth term last year and who have supported me over the past three decades. I promise you that I will continue to pursue our shared goals and our common cause in another venue."
Oregon's Senator Jeff Merkley made the following statement after Governor John Kitzhaber announced his resignation earlier today:
"John Kitzhaber loves Oregon deeply and has contributed enormously to making our state a better place. Today, he did what was right for Oregon by resigning.
"I know that our incoming Governor, Kate Brown, will continue the fight for our Oregon values, from clean air and clean water to a robust economy, and I look forward to working with her."
Oregon's top legislative leaders have called on Gov. John Kitzhaber to resign because of a growing ethics scandal.
The board approved a letter to Sen. Betsy Johnson and Rep. Deborah Boone urging support for a transportation funding package in the Oregon Legislature that would boost revenue to counties. In part, the letter states "The erosion of the highway fund due to decreasing gas tax revenues, the reduction of Secure Rural Schools funding and the continued deterioration of roads and bridges has put Clatsop County's road system in jeopardy."

text: This team has unbelievable chemistry. We looked good without Ejim but its evident how great Ejim is going to be this year. He was unstoppable. Monster on defense, rebounding and scoring. Naz Long has stepped up. Kane is a man child same with Hogue. Thomas/Morris are freshman but should be solid for us. Please dont flame me for saying it, but if we beat BYU on the road Tuesday, are we a top 25 team next week? Actually, can we beat a top 25 team this week? Lots of ranked teams went down this week. Very, very pleased with tonights performance. The crowd was awesome, just incredibly loud the whole time. The students were into it, the older crowd was up the majority of the game too. Love this team. Beating a very solid Michigan team this early in the season was very unexpected. To be honest, I thought we'd lose by about 10 so this was a pleasant surprise. Lets get this momentum going into BYU! Go STATE!

Unit 4 school plan met cautiously
CHAMPAIGN – Dori Walker's three Dr. Howard students will have moved on by the time a new school would be built there, but Walker is glad to hear the plans for the school.
"Dr. Howard is so old and so cramped," said Walker of Wednesday's facilities committee decision to put the school on its $68 million priority list. The list calls for the construction of three schools: one at the Dr. Howard site, one on the north side of the city and one in Savoy.
"A lot of people in our neighborhood are attached to the building for its historical significance, but as far as being a facility with an excellent teaching atmosphere, Dr. Howard's not it," she said. "The teachers work so hard. They deserve a better building."
The list approved by the committee keeps the first phase of plans – to correct deficiencies in Champaign schools – in a cost range recommended by bond underwriters and administrators, even though working groups initially came up with more ambitious lists with price tags up to $150 million.
"There were parts of the overall recommendation I wouldn't have chosen," said Michael Roux, who represented Bottenfield school in the committee. "But I think that applied to everyone in the room. I think it's wise to start small and focus on one level. Our mandate was to put more space north of University and to put schools in growing population centers. We tried to have vision toward where populations will be in the future."
In addition to major work and putting in air conditioning at the elementary schools that don't have it, the proposal calls for downsizing enrollment by one strand at three schools – Bottenfield, Westview and Robeson – a move that would create a population to fill one of the new schools.
However, architect Sam Johnson of BLDD Architects said that's a decision best made by school board members. He said downsizing population at those schools would create more space for teachers.
"Many schools need teacher work rooms as well as space for work with vision, speech and hearing impaired children," Johnson said. "They need space for teachers, conference rooms, work rooms, guidance. Look at schools like Washington. They have copiers in the corridors."
Bond underwriters Stifel Nicolaus recommended putting high school and middle school work in a second phase to be subject to a second, future referendum for $100.5 million, bumping up the price of the whole package to about $170 million.
Several working group members said they put the $1 million cost of the purchase of land for the high school site in the first phase and included $2.5 million for construction of playing fields on that land to keep a new high school in the public eye and create momentum for the second-phase referendum.
Work in that phase would include:
– Renovation of Jefferson and Franklin middle schools, including gym additions, $5.9 million.
– Remodeling Central High School to move Edison Middle School and an alternative high school into the building, $7.8 million.
– Building a new high school, about $70 million.
– Renovating Centennial to equal facilities at the new Central, $11.4 million.
The options assembled by architects and administrators don't specify what would happen to the Edison structure, but members of at least one working group favored moving administrators, the Family Information Center and other district offices into Edison and selling property, especially the campus-area former Marquette School that houses the family information center, to help defray costs.
Savoy village manager Dick Helton said he's cautiously optimistic about the committee's first-phase package, including the long-awaited Savoy school, which would be built on donated ground.
"This now goes to the school board, and they have the final say," Helton said. "They can add and/or take away. After those decisions, we'll have a lot of work ahead to promote the referendum."
Helton said Savoy's population has been growing about 20 percent a year, and he estimates it will reach 10,000 in 10 years.

This invention relates to switching circuits which are particularly useful in level shift applications.
It is often necessary and/or desirable to operate different parts of an electronic system at different voltage levels. At the places where the different parts interface, they must be coupled to each other. However, the signals at the interfaces are not necessarily compatible. It is, therefore, often necessary to provide interface and level shift circuits which can render one part of the system compatible with the other.
For an interface or level shift circuit to be useful it must be compatible with the other circuits of the system with respect, among others, to speed of operation, and minimization of power dissipation.
The invention is best understood and explained with reference to the accompanying drawing in which like reference characters denote like components, in which transistors of P-conductivity type are identified by the letter P followed by a reference numeral, and transistors of N-conductivity type are identified by the letter N followed by a reference numeral; and in which
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a prior art circuit;
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a level shift circuit embodying the invention;
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of another level shift circuit embodying the invention; and
FIG. 4 is a block and schematic diagram of a prior art inverter circuit.
The prior art level shift circuit shown in FIG. 1 includes an input inverter I1 operated between a first potential of VCC volts and ground. In response to an input signal A applied to its input, inverter I1 produces a signal A. The complementary signals A and A are applied to the gates of transistors N1 and N2 which are the inputs of the two level shift inverters comprised of transistors N1, P1 and N2, P2. The sources of transistors N1 and N2 are connected to ground conductor 16. Cross-coupled transistors P1 and P2, which function as the load devices of the level shift inverters, have their conduction paths connected between a conductor 18 to which is applied a potential of VDD volts and the drains of transistors N1 and N2, respectively. The drains of transistors P1 and N1 and connected to output node 3 at which is produced output Q, and the drains of transistors P2 and N2 are connected to output node 5 at which is produced output Q. The gate of transistor P1 is connected to the Q output and the gate of transistor P2 is connected to the Q output.
The potential VDD may be, typically in the range of 5 to 15 volts and VCC may be, typically, in the range of 1.5 to 5 volts. In response to input signals A and A which vary between VCC volts and ground, output signals are produced at Q and Q which vary between VDD and ground.
Assume that A, which was initially at VCC volts, goes low (i.e. from VCC volts to ground). This causes transistor N1 to be turned on, and transistor N2 to be turned off. However, the Q and Q outputs which were at VDD and ground, respectively, do not go immediately to ground and VDD, respectively. When transistor N1 turns on, transistor P1 is still turned on and conducting. To guarantee switching of the level shift inverters, the on impedance of each P-type transistor is made much greater than the on impedance of the associated N-type transistor for the same bias conditions. This ensures that when transistor N1 (N2) turns on, Q (Q) drops significantly below VDD /2. However, the high on-impedances of the P-type transistors slow the rise time of Q and Q.
Q going low and applied to the gate of transistor P2 turns it on. Current then flows through the conduction path of transistor P2, charging the capacitance associated with output node 5 and causing the Q output to rise towards VDD. When transistor N2 is being turned off, transistor P2 serves as the means to charge up the capacitance associated with output node 5. Until this capacitance is charged up to approximately VDD, transistor P1 is on. Since transistor P2 is a high impedance device it takes a relatively long time to charge up the capacitance at node 5. Consequently, transistor P1 is on for a relatively long period of time. Also, when transistor P2 is first turned on by Q going low, transistor P2 is not turned on as hard as it can be since the potential at Q does not drop immediately to ground. During the transition period, the current flowing through transistor P1 is conducted through on-transistor N1 to ground. Therefore, the longer the transition period from one state to the next, the greater is the power dissipated.
The prior art circuit has many desirable features, but it is relatively slow and dissipates a relatively large amount of power during its relatively slow transition from one state to another.
In circuits embodying the invention, a means responsive to the input signal or its complement is connected in series with each switching transistor (N1 or N2) and its load device (P1 or P2) in order to increase the effective load impedance in series with the conduction path of the switching transistor being turned on. This increases the speed of response of the circuit and decreases its power dissipation.
FIG. 2 includes an input inverter I1 having an input terminal 10 to which is applied an input signal A, an output terminal 12 at which inverter I1 produces a complementary signal A, and power terminals 14 and 16 to which are applied VCC volts and ground, respectively. Inverter I1 may be a complementary inverter comprised of an N-type transistor and a P-type transistor as shown in FIG. 4, or it may be any one of a number of well known devices capable of inverting signals.
Two cross-coupled inverting means, I2 and I3, driven by signals A and A produce level shifted output signals Q and Q which vary between ground and VDD volts. Inverting means I2 includes switching transistor N1 and load transistor P3 and P12. Inverting means I3 includes switching transistor N2 and load transistors P4 and P22. The gates of transistors N1 and P3 are connected to terminal 12. The gates of transistors P4 and N2 are connected to terminal 10. The drains of transistors N1 and P3 are connected to output point 20 at which is produced output signal Q. The drains of transistors P4 and N2 are connected to output point 22 at which is produced output signal Q. The sources of transistors N1 and N2 are connected to conductor 16 which is grounded. The source-drain path of transistor P12 is connected between a conductor 18 to which is applied VDD volts and the source of transistor P3. The source drain path of transistor P22 is connected between conductor 18 and the source of transistor P4. Transistors P12 and P22 are cross-coupled; i.e. the gate of transistor P12 is connected to output point 22, and the gate of transistor 22 is connected to output point 20.
In the discussion of the operation of the circuit to follow, it is assumed that VCC is less than VDD ; and that signals A and A are switched between ground and VCC.
The status of the circuit in a steady state condition will first be discussed. Assume, initially, that A is high (VCC volts) and, consequently, that A is low (ground). A low causes transistor N1 to be turned off and transistor P3 to be turned full on. When A is high, transistor N2 is turned on and the Q output at node 22 is at, or close to, ground potential (Q is low). Q low is applied to the gate of transistor P12 and keeps it fully turned on. Transistor P3 then couples the VDD volts at conductor 18 to the source of transistor P12. Transistors P12 and P3 with their gates at zero volts, are fully turned on. Their conduction paths present a relatively low impedance between conductor 18 and terminal 20. Since transistor N1 is off, there is no conduction through its source-drain path. Therefore, transistor P12 and P3 clamp output point 20 to VDD volts and Q is high. Q high, applied to the gate of transistor P22 turns it off. With transistor P22 turned off, transistor P4 cannot conduct since its source is effectively disconnected from terminal 18.
For the complementary input condition (A low and A high), transistor N1 is switched on clamping output point 20 to ground (Q -- low) and transistors P22 and P4 are also turned on clamping output point 22 to VDD volts (Q high). Transistors N2, P12, and P3 are turned off.
The response of the circuit to the transient condition, when the input signal changes levels, will now be discussed. Assume that the input signal A makes a transition from the high level (VCC) condition to the low level (ground) condition. Consequently, A makes a transition from the low level (ground) condition to the high level (VCC) condition.
As the A signal rises from ground towards VCC volts, it reaches a value equal to the threshold voltage (VT) of transistor N1. Transistor N1 then turns on and the potential at Q starts to go from VDD volts towards zero volts. Concurrently, the turn on drive applied between the gate and source of transistor P3 is being decreased. Transistor P3 is not turned off by the application of the A signal whose maximum is VCC volts (where VCC is less than VDD by at least one threshold voltage). But, the conductivity of its conduction path is being decreased and, correspondingly, the impedance of its conduction path is being increased. Transistor N1 functions as a low impedance path sinking the current flowing into node 20 (Q) to ground conductor 16. Increasing the impedance of the load (transistor P3 and/or transistor P12) in the drain circuit of conducting transistor N1 causes the potential of Q at output 20 to drop more and faster. Thus, increasing the impedance of transistor P3 is equivalent to increasing the gain of inverting means I2 since a greater output voltage change is obtained for the same current level.
Since the impedance of the conduction path of transistor P3 (or P4) increases as soon as transistor N1 (or N2) is being turned on, load transistor P12 (or P22) can be made to have a lower on impedance (higher conductivity) than the corresponding load transistor P1 (or P2) in the prior art circuit.
Concurrent with the turn on of transistor N1 and the decrease in forward drive to transistor P3, the impedance of transistor P12 is also increased by means of positive feedback obtained from the inverting means I3.
The transition of the A signal from the high level to the low level is directly applied to the gate of transistor N2 cutting it off. The A signal is simultaneously applied to the gate of transistor P4 applying to its gate the maximum forward drive available. This enables transistor P4 to pass all the current supplied to its source by transistor P22 which is being turned on by the negative going signal Q at the drain of transistor N1. The turn on of transistor P22 enables the conduction of current into output node 22 causing the output level at Q to rise towards VDD volts. As the potential at Q rises towards VDD volts an increasing turn off signal is applied to the gate of transistor P12, decreasing the conductivity of its conduction path. This is equivalent to increasing the impedance of its conduction path.
Increasing the impedance of the conduction path of transistor P12 causes the potential at its drain and at the source of transistor P3 to decrease. The conductivity of transistor P3 is decreased sharply since its gate potential is being increased and, concurrently, its source potential is being decreased. Thus, there is a sharp increase in the effective impedance of the source drain path of transistor P3.
The increase in the effective impedance of transistor P12 in series with the increasing impedance of transistor P3 causes a sharp drop in the Q potential level. This applies still greater forward drive to the gate of transistor P22, which causes increased conduction into output node 20 causing a fast rise in the Q output and a still further increase in the effective impedance of transistor P12.
The process described above continues until the output Q is driven to, or close to, VDD volts and Q is driven to, or close to, ground potential.
For the complementary transition condition to the one just discussed, the same operation described above occurs with the roles of inverting means I2 and I3 being interchanged. Therefore, this condition need not be detailed.
In circuits embodying the invention, the potential at an output node (20 or 22) makes a transition from the high level to the low level in less time than in the prior art circuit of FIG. 1. The faster drop of the falling output (Q or Q) causes a faster turn on of one of the load transistors (P12 or P22) and the faster application of a turn off potential to the other one of the load transistors. Therefore, the period of time when transistors P12, P3 and N1 are simultaneously turned on is greatly decreased. Secondly, during the transition period when transistors P12, P3, and N1 are simultaneously turned on, the impedance between conductor 18 and node 16 is considerably higher than in the prior art circuit, thereby reducing the power dissipation of the circuit.
It would seem, at first glance, that transistors P3 and P4 would not have an effect on circuit operation and would not be necessary. Where VCC is less than VDD by more than one threshold voltage, transistor P3 or P4 cannot be turned off by the A or A input signals applied to their gates since the maximum value of the A and A is VCC volts while the potential applied to the sources of transistors P3 or P4, when turned on, is at or close to VDD volts. However, for the reasons discussed above and on the basis of testing it is seen that with the addition of transistors P3 and P4, functioning as load means which are responsive to the input signal, significant improvements in circuit operation are achieved.
The prior art circuit of FIG. 1 and the circuit of FIG. 2 were fabricated and their operation compared. In both circuits, transistors N1 and N2 were made the same size, and transistors P3, P4, P12 and P22 were made the same size as transistors P1 and P2. A variable frequency signal generator (not shown) was applied to the input terminal 10 of both circuits and the frequency of the applied signal was increased from a low value until a cut off frequency point at which the circuit being tested could no longer follow the transitions of the input signals produced by the signal generator. The cut off frequency point for the circuit of FIG. 2 was four times greater than that of the circuit of FIG. 1.
Measurements also indicated that the circuit of FIG. 2 functioned with a minimum VCC level which was 15 percent less than the minimum VCC level needed to properly operate the circuit of FIG. 1.
The circuit of FIG. 3 is like that of FIG. 2 except that the conduction paths of transistors P3 and P12 and those of transistors P4 and P22 have been interchanged positionally. In this configuration the conduction of transistors P3 or P4 controls the current and voltage supplied to the sources of transistors P12 or P22. The conduction of transistors P3 or P4 is decreased when a turn on signal is applied to its associated switching transistors N1 or N2 and, in turn, the conduction of its associated transistor P12 or P22 is also decreased. Cross-coupled transistors P12 and P22 function in a similar manner to that described above and the transient response of the circuit need not be detailed.
Although the circuit was primarly designed for use as a level shifter with VCC less than VDD, the circuit will operate with VCC equal to VDD and even when VCC is slightly greater than VDD.
It should also be appreciated that the two load transistors (P12 and P3 or P22 and P4) connected between each output and VDD could be replaced by a single transistor having two control electrodes. In the alternative, additional transistors could be inserted in series with the two load transistors without departing from the invention.

In an age of variable message signs and LED digital displays, does a car on a pole have any chance of surviving into the next calendar year? Possibly not unless a Hanover County Virginia Board of Supervisors decides to alter an earlier position they took on the future of the Crosley in the air.
It seems there is a 1949 or 1950 (nobody knows which) Crosley CD station wagon raised above ground and mounted on a pole along route 301. The theme of the attention grabber goes nicely with the auto repair shop that plans to relocate to the property. The new operator has even offered to return the vehicle to earth, rehab it and then remount it.
So what is the problem you ask? In 2008 when the property was rezoned the parties involved agreed to remove the sign and pole to secure the rezoning. A county supervisor was quoted recently in the Richmond Times-Dispatch inferring that the issue would not prevent the auto shop from opening. The other parties now have to decide whether to amend their offer to remove the sign and pole.
The station wagon has monitored traffic on U. S. 301 since the 1960s when it was erected to advertise a salvage yard at the site. Crosleys were favored for use as full scale automotive signs because of their light weight of 1,100 pounds.
Interest in the future of the car on a pole has been high since an article ran in the newspaper. Over 100 calls in support of keeping the Crosley have been received and at least one interested neighbor plans to speak out in favor of the landmark.
Scott Rogers who has been active in preservation in the area said, "If people don't start stepping up and supporting the salvaging and renovation of those things, they're going to go away, and 50 years from now there will be no record of our grandparents' era."
