The price of oil was steady above $102 a barrel Tuesday as the threat of further violence in Libya threw into question the country's ability to ramp up its crude exports.
Oil steady above $102 as Libya tensions flare
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark U.S. crude for June delivery was up 3 cents to $102.64 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Monday, the Nymex contract added 12 cents to settle at $102.73.
The more heavily-traded July contract was up 2 cents at $102.13.
Brent crude, a benchmark for international oil, was down 4 cents to $109.33 on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
A revolt by a rogue general has split the Islamists that dominate Libya's politics and risks an outright battle for power that could fragment the country, which has Africa's largest proven reserves of crude. Libya was a key supplier of crude to European refineries but has been struggling to stabilize oil output and exports since dictator Moammar Gadhafi was ousted in 2011.
"Given that Libya is not producing more than 250,000 barrels per day, having Libya totally out would not make a big difference to current flows," said Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland. "But the Libyan barrels will be missed for the oil demand of the third quarter."

Put a call into the local shop and had them order me one today. No idea how long it's going to take. Can't wait; love that new gun smell!!!
Sent from my iPhone using Firearms Talk
From what I have read on the model 51 it was to costly back in the day and the price was to high when compared to other handguns in the market so remmy stopped making them.. Not the functionality of design .
Someone here, I think it was EMD, mentioned that a portion of the grip could rub on a hand joint the wrong way,...I guess you can wear a shooting glove( I'm finding that both prs. Of "TAC" gloves I have-1 insulated & one not) work just fine in the cool & cold weather). We're going to be outside shooting at least through this month and March, before we go back inside to our local Range.
DrFootball I can tell you other smaller handguns can with to many rounds fired at one session can wear thru a couple layers of skin in a hurry right on the inside rear joint of your thumb where the web of skin between thumb and idex finger are. Took two weeks to heal up well enough a shoot again with gloves on and makes a joint hurt for some time longer. I know, dumb , right ! Happen with my cw9 kahr to me.
I hope the R51 is not delayed in comeing out. I to have been waiting for one for a couple weeks. Wife has a interest in it so I get to do a break in.
This is a pretty scathing review of the R51.http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/02/foghorn/gun-review-remington-r51/
Article conclusion:
Nick test for TTAG seems to have some conflecting views . He complains about the how painful it is to shoot then down a ways he said the low bore axis and the lighter slide did indeed help reduce recoil and allow him to get on target quickly !!! It can't have both yet it does seem to with this guy. His hand showed no signs of slide bite, only wear from shooting 500 rounds in a setting with lighter handgun . he said I prefers heavier full sized pistols so let him only test full size steel pistols. He then goes into the dis and reassembly starting with lineing up the marks to pull the assembly / slide lock pin. In general he looks totally green and unprepared to do it. makes it up as he goes.
To many guys today think a 1911 is hard to break down So whats to be expected by some.
I was going to read his reviews on kahrs as reset feel is almost zero and no one can say a cm9 or 40 does not recoil. But a lady did the review and it was a good review. Maybe that lady should have done the R51.
The R51 is not going to be a do it all for all people but atleast if you test it be prepared to learn it well before review'n it. And be honest in your review and not a whinner.
i thought this was a rather particularly stupid statement...
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith
The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things...
"I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
If the spring is so much kighter as stated this could be a good gun for my wife. She has a difficult time racking the slide on most guns

awesome images: Make the shape with bottle, ball and wire. Drape over cheesecloth and spray with starch. Once dry remove supports. So clever!
Maybe we will have time to do this this weekend. I think the grandparents and I would love to have this for halloween decor.
A jack-o'-lantern is typically a carved pumpkin. It is associated chiefly with the holiday of Halloween and was named after the phenomenon of strange light flickering over peat bogs, called ignis fatuus.

These hand-painted 5"x7" canvases are the perfect decoration for Fall, and can be used as a decoration inside, as well as outside. They re painted with acrylic paints, and then finished with Mod Podge to give them a shiny look.

Hello and welcome to The Seasoned Homemaker.
I'm Leslie, a native Texan living the simple life in Austin, TX with my husband of 37 years (as of 2014). Even though our two daughters are grown and married, I still love taking care of my family and my home. I live for moments spent with my grandchildren. Pull up a chair, kick off your shoes, and grab yourself a cup of coffee as I navigate domestic bliss from my {seemingly never} empty nest.
The Seasoned Homemaker Sews
The Seasoned Homemaker began as a way to share my life-long passion for sewing. As a young girl, I was always around talented women who loved sewing. I began sewing and designing when my Barbie needed something new to wear. With fabric scraps from my mother's stash and some blunt-tip scissors, a lifelong passion began.
In 2007, I opened Sugar Pie Chic on Etsy to sell aprons from patterns I had designed. I began creating patterns from my designs after my customers kept asking me to convert my designs into patterns. I happily obliged. They are now available here.
The Seasoned Homemaker Gardens
When I'm not in my studio sewing, I'm usually in my garden dreaming up new ways to dig up the grass in my suburban landscape and move perfectly happy plants to new locations.
I used to plant an organic vegetable garden twice a year. We have recently downsized and now have a much smaller xeriscaped yard. Still, I optimistically hope to produce a few edible things now and again.
My gardening obsession keeps me real and causes me to have some seriously horrible manicures, occasionally smell like manure, and have a wicked farmer's tan. Still, I can't help myself.
The Seasoned Homemaker's Kitchen
I have Celiac Disease which means I keep a must keep a gluten-free kitchen. Since this discovery in 2005, I've been perfecting my gluten-free repertoire.
It doesn't end there. Preparing food that nourishes and restores the body has become a new passion. There are lots of trials and errors as I discover what works and what doesn't work.
Any way you slice it, cooking is always an adventure in my kitchen.
Note: The last time my kitchen was this clean was when I took this picture.
Thank you for sharing a moment with me
I am honored that you have stopped by to visit. Your comments, wit, and wisdom are the fuels that drive this blog.

Really really nice, thick material that doesn't feel flimsy at all. It is the perfect length for me (I'm 5 foot) so I imagine it might be a bit short on anybody medium-tall height. When it came one of the seams were unravelling but it was easy to fix by sewing. I wear it all the time!

An exercise bar and cord assembly having a cavity or nest at each end of the bar for connection with a snugly fitting cord emplacement block. The exercise cord, stoppered with a plug in conventional manner, is connected to the block, extending through a tunnel within it. The block may be shaped in any of several ways and a strapped handgrip connection block will serve the purpose. Emplacement channels or slots are optionally present in both the bar and the block. If the block has an axially symmetrical neck, it may be rotated so that the channels are misaligned for improved cord retention. Two modes of exercise are defined in terms of the cord's anchoring means—that is, whether its ends or a mid-portion of it.
1. An exercise bar and cord assembly, comprising:
an exercise bar assembly including an elongated extension, the elongated extension having opposite ends, and a bar emplacement nest being disposed at each one of the opposite ends of the elongated extension;
an exercise cord assembly including an elastic exercise cord and rigid emplacements, a respective one of the rigid emplacements being disposed at each end of the elastic exercise cord; and
cord emplacement blocks, each formed to have a neck and a cord tunnel, the neck being formed to fit within the bar emplacement nests, each one of the cord emplacement blocks emplaced in one of the bar emplacement nests, the elastic exercise cord being placed through the cord tunnel and each one of the rigid emplacements being disposed to retain the elastic exercise cord in the one of the cord emplacement blocks,
wherein when an operator anchors a mid-portion of the elastic exercise cord grasps the opposing ends of the elongated extension, the operator can undertake a selected one of a number of exercises against the elastic resistance in the elastic exercise cord to exercise certain selected muscles of the operator.

2. Description of the Prior Art
The lifting of a rod or bar 100 of an exercise bar assembly (
In one prior art arrangement, the ends of the elastic cord 20 are anchored in some manner with one mid-portion run through or suitably seated upon the bar. The bar may then be tugged in a beneficial manner. The cord ends may terminate at any improvised connection system—for example, either a strap impinged in the crack of a door or in anyone of several securing mechanisms present on a wall mounted assembly. The cord ends may even have handgrips 120 connected to them. The operator may put his or her feet the handgrips to hold them and stretch the cord's mid-portion upwards by appropriate use of the bar 100. In another arrangement, the ends of the cord are securely connected to the exercise bar 100. The mid-portion of the cord may be secured at a door or wall by any means. The mid-portion of the cord may also be self-anchored by standing upon it. In either arrangement, it is quite common for the operator to grasp the opposing ends of the rod or bar 100 and raise it 100, to a point far above his or her head while stretching the cord 20. In either arrangement, the assembly becomes a convenient portable substitute for cumbersome weight lifting apparatus.
It is also known to wrap a portion of the elastic cord around the ends of the exercise bar 100 in order to shorten the cord's length. The technique could be employed in either of the two modes of exercise operation. If the cord's mid-portion, for example, were along or within the bar 100, opposing portions of the cord would be wrapped or twisted about the bar 100 ends. If cord ends are connected to the bar itself 100, cord 20 may be wrapped about the bar at its ends. The undertaking of that convenience to effectually shorten cord length came at a cost, however. Wrapping of the cord at the bar 100 ends, resulted in a torque built up or a twisting force which the operator had to resist. That unwanted force tended to diminish the ordinarily sought-after benefits from operation of an elastically anchored lifting bar 100 in either mode of exercise.
U.S. Pat. No. 437,822 (Reach) shows a tug-of-war belt about which a rope would wrap. The belt does not have a bar 100 or an elastic cord. U.S. Pat. No. 4,245,839 (Trent) shows a tugging belt with the cord ends terminating in a door crack impingement. U.S. Pat. No. 2,448,384 (Meinzinger) shows a device to grasp a fishing line. U.S. Pat. No. 4,328,964 (Walls) discloses a handle, similar to a tennis racquet or golf club, with elastic cords connected to a door jam. The operator was to stretch the elastics by moving the handle. U.S. Pat. No. 4,195,835 (Hinds, et al.) and U.S. Pat. No. 4,316,610 (Hinds) show an exercise bar 20 featuring means to effectually shorten a cable 24 by conveniently wrapping opposing sections of the cable around the end of bar 20. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,316,610, pins 92, 93 are provided to move with holes 94–95 to effect joining of opposing sections 90, 91 of the bar.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,355,171 (Oesau) discloses separate chains 14, 16 in lieu of a continuous elastic cord anchored to the anchor bar 12 that the operator stood upon. U.S. Pat. No. 3,117,781 (Vargo) featured a bar 9, in the manner considered here, in which the inextensible cord 17 was anchored into a platform 1 upon which the operator stood. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,256,015 (Perrin), the cord 25 ends are fastened by interweaving them through holes 21 drilled in the extension or bar 20 so that the operator could exercise by standing upon the cord's mid-portion. U.S. Pat. No. 4,059,265 (Wiede, et al.) featured a hollow bar 13 with which connection was accomplished by running the cord 11 ends longitudinally in opposition through passages 15 within the bar 100. Again, the operator stood upon the cord's mid-portion during exercise.
Finally, U.S. Pat. No. 4,779,867 (Hinds) featured an exercise bar 17 with a cord 11 anchored to the ends of the bar 17. Bar 17 was formed in halves joined by a suitable locking mechanism (col. 2, line 65). The bar 17 included a groove 19 along its length for the cable 11. At the ends of the bar 17 are lugs 24 for wrapping the cable 11.
In the '867 Hinds patent, a pair of stirrups 12 are placed within receptacles 30. This arrangement was bulky and the stirrups could be oriented only in a direction transverse to the bar 17 because of the interfering presence of lugs 24.
It would be highly useful to have with us a connector which is not limited in orientation but which could be emplaced in any radial position within a bar end socket regardless of the presence of cord enwrapment pegs.
In one aspect, the invention is an assembly of an exercise lifting bar and any one of several specially designed emplacement blocks 3 which connect to an elastic cord assembly 2. The emplacement block 3 may take almost anyone of several conceivable forms other than the base of a solid handgrip. One novel embodiment of the block 3 is a strapped handgrip's connection block 130 shaped to fit snugly within a nest 11 in the bar or elongated extension 10. The configuration of this block 130 has a disadvantage in permitting its emplacement in only one directional position. Other blocks 3 are described, however, which may be axially rotated within the nest 11—sockets carved into the ends of the rod 10—so as to be positioned in any direction upon emplacement. The blocks 3 are particularly configured to provide convenience and connective security.
As at prior art, the stick-like or rod-like device 10 is held in the operator's hands and—in either first or second mode exercise—typically lifted upward or tugged against the resistance of an elastic cord 20 in a direction away from an anchoring site situated either remotely from him or her or more proximately, such as when portions of the cord 20 or objects connected thereto 20 are stood upon. The focus thereof is upon second mode exercise—that in which it is the mid-portion of the cord 20 is anchored and its ends 21 which are stretched in exercise. Embodiments are provided for, however, which address well known variations in first mode exercise as well—that is, that in which it is the cord ends 21 which are anchored and the mid-portion which is thus stretched. Certain structural embellishments including nodes 13, impingement sectors 31, and a retaining ledge 16 are present which contribute to acceptable connectability. This mutual configuration permits the two interconnected parts 3, 11 to remain in place after being pressed together and yet requires little effort to yank them 3, 11 apart for other exercise service or convenient stowage.
Optional features dispose at the ends of the bar 10 and within the block 3 cord emplacement channels or slots 14, 34, respectively which facilitate the cord's 20 emplacement into the system.
Although a snap-fit bar separation assembly 400 is not unknown to the art as a portability feature, the improved model here includes a spring 42 and release button 41 version.
While the exercise assembly which is the subject hereof features a patentable combination of members, most of which are familiar to us, they might perhaps equally well be billed as improvements to the prior art model 100. So presented, the number of improvements would be at least two because of the specially shaped emplacement block and the bar's snap-fit mechanism 400 featured herein.
The subject of this application is an exercise cord and bar assembly comprised of an exercise bar end assembly 11A and 11B, an exercise cord assembly 2 and a pair of cord emplacement blocks 130A and 130B.
In simplest form, the first of the three general components, the exercise bar end assembles 11A and 11B, comprise a portion of the elongated extension 10 which is of a general rod-like configuration. The exercise bar end assemblies 11A and 11B include opposing bar emplacement nests 11A and 11B disposed at respective ends thereof. Preferably present, however, are also cord emplacement channels 14A and 14B disposed at each of the extension's ends 10B and 10C and a cord stretching recess 12 disposed longitudinally along the underside of the elongated extension 10 for optional traditional first mode exercise—that is, wrapping part of the mid-portion of the exercise cord 20 around the ends 10B and 10C of the elongated extension's ends 10 to effectually shorten the exercise cord 20 and increase its resistance for lifting type exercises.
While in the more recent of prior art structures, the elongated extension 10 did include cord wrapping pegs 15, it is feasible to construct the elongated extension 10 without the pegs 15A–D. The configuration for such purpose is designated herein as the continuously contoured projection. The word continuously is expressed to infer the absence of structural discontinuities such as those cord wrapping pegs 15A–1 5C—that is, either a straightly formed object in which the perimeter along any longitudinal cross section extends in a generally straight line, or a smoothly formed or streamlined one comprising slight arcuitry. Changes in curvature along the way are also permitted within the scope of the definition, which immediately distinguishes an elongated extension 10 comprising cord wrapping pegs 15A–D from those elongated extensions 10 which do not. Elongated extensions 10D and 10E comprising continuously contoured projection configuration are illustrated in
The bar separation seam 40 is merely the dividing place between the two parts 10B and 10C of the bar elongated extension 10. When the two pieces are interconnected, the release button 41 is disposed to emerge through the button opening 43 which is merely an orifice in the body of the elongated extension 10. The two pieces 10B and 10C are preferably shaped to slide together in telescope, for example, as shown in
The second of the major components, the elastic exercise cord assembly 2 may include only an elastic cord 20 whose ends 21A and 21B, in preparation for exercise, are connected-indirectly, ante—to the respective ends of the bar or elongated extension 10. In most embodiments, the cord 20 is of a hollow configuration, in which case an impingement plug 22 is also preferably present.
Lastly, each of the two cord emplacement blocks 3A and 3B is configured to seat within one of the emplacement nests 11A and 11B. The blocks 3A and 3B have an elastic exercise cord tunnel 32 through which the cord 20 is extended for connection. In shorthand parlance, the blocks 3A and 3B are characterized as a tunneled structure. Although, in such an embodiment, simple enreevement of the cord 20 through the tunnel 32 will suffice, a cord emplacement slot 34 (
As matters of definition, the end of the tunnel 32 into which the cord 20 is inserted for the required connection is herein designated its cord conduit opening 35 and the opposing end thereof 32 through which the cord end 21 emerges, its cord impingement opening 33.
It is not essential upon assembly that the cord emplacement channels 14A and 14B and the block's cord emplacement slot 34, if included, be disposed in alignment with one another. It should be apparent that deliberately setting the slot 34 and the nests 14A and 14B in misalignment would enhance the cord 20 connecting security. Axial symmetry of the emplacement block's neck 30 then provides an additional convenience in which the cord 20 is emplaced more or less simultaneously and the block 3 then axially rotated within the nest 11 to a non-aligned position.
While axial symmetry of the block's neck 30, as shown in
In one embodiment, the blocks 3A and 3B are formed into a conical or truncated conical configuration that is sometimes referred to as frusto-conical. The emplacement nests 11A and 11B are mated to the blocks 3A and 3B. In shape, the emplacement of the blocks 3A and 3B within the nests 11A and 11B may be considered sufficiently secure for exercise.
It should be apparent that when the elastic cord 20 is stretched during exercises in which the blocks 3A and 3B are disposed within the nests 11A and 11B, their dislodgement is highly unlikely—perhaps nearly impossible. As a matter of convenience, however, it is preferable that the blocks 3A and 3B be firmly retained in place when preparing for exercise or even during intermediate intervals of non-exercise. Within each nest 11A and 11B, therefore, one or more impingement nodes 13 are preferably present. The node 13 is merely a small protrusion along the wall is a nest 11A against which the emplacement block's neck 30, that is, the lower or most inserted portion of the block 3 becomes impinged when pressed into place. The portion of the neck 30 which contacts the node 13 is herein designated the block's impingement sector 31. A number of impingement sectors 31 may be disposed around the block's neck 30, consistent with the number of ways the block 3 emplacement is possible. When manufacture is by molding, the incorporation of nodes 13 and impingement sectors 31 is a simple matter. It is merely necessary that each contact one another 31, 13 tightly. The conical or tapered configuration for the block 3 and nest 11A then becomes unnecessary. Although nodes 13 are shown in
If a wall 11A were provided without more, there would be concern that the emplacement block 3 might be pushed part way or all of the way through. In many of the exercise assembly's embodiments, therefore, a block retaining ledge 16 upon which the block 3 becomes firmly seated is also disposed deeply within the nest 11.
It is appropriate here to consider a second way to address the problem of axial rotation emplacement capability for the block 3. This can be achieved by conferring upon uppermost portion of block 3 what is designated herein as wrapping peg clearance configuration. For such an attribute, that portion of the block 3 is without the outward projections characterized by either the strapped handgrip's cord connector 130 or the outward and upward prongs of the solid handgrip 120. It is, therefore, appropriate to state as a matter of terminology that an emplacement block 3 so shaped comprises wrapping peg clearance configuration at the uppermost portion thereof. An assembly comprising such a block 3 would permit the inclusion of cord wrapping pegs 15A and 15D without the disadvantages mentioned supra. Moreover, a block 3 so configured may comprise either axial symmetry or non-symmetry. In embodiments in which symmetry is preferred, it is, therefore, advantageous to configure the block 3 from top to bottom with radial symmetry.

CAIRO: Egypt's tourism revenue sank by 41 percent to $5.9 billion in 2013 in comparison with a year earlier, Tourism Minister Hisham Zaazou said on Tuesday, a further sign of pressure on one of Egypt's main sources of foreign currency.
The tourism sector in the Arab world's most populous nation has shrivelled since veteran autocrat President Hosni Mubarak was toppled by a popular uprising in 2011.
After a slight improvement in 2012, tourism took another hit in 2013 when hundreds were killed in violence that followed the army's overthrow of elected Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in July after mass protests against him.
Zaazou, in a text message to Reuters, confirmed Egypt's tourism revenues in 2013 reached $5.9 billion. "The number is correct and for the year 2012 it was $10 billion," he said.
Tourism receipts in the first quarter of Egypt's financial year, which starts on July 1, tumbled to $931.1 million down from $2.64 billion a year earlier, according to central bank data published last month.
The number of tourist nights spent in Egypt between July and September fell by 57 percent to about 15 million and the average visitor's spending also dropped compared with a year earlier, the central bank said.
Egyptian foreign exchange reserves hovered at $17.03 billion last December. They stood at $36 billion on the eve of the revolt against Mubarak.

About the district
Green Bay Area Public School District is located in Brown County, Wisconsin. The county seat is Green Bay. Brown County is home to 254,586 residents, according to the United States Census Bureau.[3] During the 2011-2012 school year, Green Bay Area Public School District was the fifth-largest school district in Wisconsin.[4]
Higher education achievement
Brown County underperformed in comparison to the rest of Wisconsin in terms of higher education achievement in 2012. The United States Census Bureau found that 25.8 percent of Brown County residents aged 25 years and older had attained a bachelor's degree compared to 26.4 percent for Wisconsin as a whole.[3]
Median household income
From 2008 to 2012, the median household income in Brown County was $53,419 compared to $52,627 for the state of Wisconsin.[3]
Poverty rate
The poverty rate in Brown County was 10.9 percent from 2008 to 2012. During that same time period, the poverty rate was 12.5 percent for the entire state.[3]
Racial and political demographics
Note: The United States Census Bureau considers "Hispanic or Latino" to be a place of origin, not a race. Therefore, the Census allows citizens to report both their race and that they are from a "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin simultaneously. As a result, the percentages in each column of the racial demographics table will exceed 100 percent. Each column will add up to 100 percent after removing the "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin percentages, although rounding by the Census Bureau may make the total one- or two-tenths off from being exactly 100 percent.[6] This Ballotpedia page provides a more detailed explanation of how the Census Bureau handles race and ethnicity in its surveys.
The superintendent of Green Bay Area Public School District is Michelle Langenfeld. She has served in the position since her appointment in 2011.[7] Langenfeld previously served as the assistant superintendent for public schools at Anoka-Hennepin School District in Minnesota from 2008 to 2011.[8]
School board
The Green Bay Board of Education consists of seven members who are elected at-large to three-year terms. The board determines compensation for members during the annual organizational meeting in January.[9]

Governing majority
The Green Bay Board of Education voted unanimously on 93.5 percent of its votes between January 1, 2014, and August 5, 2014. Every vote recorded by the board passed.[10]
- When the board did not vote unanimously:
- Michael Blecha, Mary Frantz, Katie Maloney, Chris Wagner and Brenda Warren voted together 100 percent of the time. None of them voted "no" on a single proposal.
- Andrew Becker and Celestine Jeffreys voted together only 37.5 percent of the time. Becker cast the only vote against a proposal five times, which represented 62.5 percent of the non-unanimous votes.
- Andrew Becker was either absent for or abstained from 35.8 percent of all votes, while Chris Wagner missed or abstained from 18.7 percent of the votes. Only Katie Maloney voted on every single proposal.
The voting data indicates that Michael Blecha, Mary Frantz, Katie Maloney, Chris Wagner and Brenda Warren are the governing majority on the board. Andrew Becker and Celestine Jeffreys may be the minority faction, although their voting patterns are different enough to indicate that they are not unified on a majority of votes.
School board elections
Members of the Board of Education are elected to three-year terms on a staggered basis. Two seats were up for election on April 1, 2014. Two seats will be up for election on April 7, 2015, and three seats will be on the ballot in April 2016.
Public participation in board meetings
The Board of Education maintains the following policy regarding public participation in board meetings, which was last updated in 2002:
|All meetings of the School Board shall be open to the public and all actions and deliberations leading to Board action shall be conducted openly, except as otherwise specifically provided by law.
The public is invited to attend Board meetings and, following rules established by the Board, shall be allowed to contribute to Board proceedings. The Board President or other presiding officer is responsible for the orderly conduct of the meeting and shall rule on such matters as the time to be allowed for public comment, the appropriateness of the subject being presented, and the suitability of the time for such a presentation.
At open forums and at Board meetings during which the Board permits public participation, all members of the public, including District employees, shall be entitled to participate equally. The Board shall not and cannot engage in collective bargaining with its employees except through recognized and established channels.
Although the Board may discuss matters brought up during the public participation period of the meeting agenda, the Board shall not take action on any item of business not included in the public notice of the Board meeting.
Suspension of the rules established for public participation may be accomplished either by a majority vote of the Board or otherwise at the discretion of the presiding officer. Members of the District administrative staff and other persons on the approved agenda may address the Board without the need to suspend the rules.[11][12]

Academic performance
- See also: Public education in Wisconsin
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction administers annual Wisconsin Student Assessment System (WSAS) tests to students throughout the state. These tests assess proficiency in math and reading among students in grades three through eight as well as tenth grade. WSAS tests also evaluate proficiency in language arts, science and social studies at grades four, eight and ten. The Department of Public Instruction publishes results from WSAS tests as part of each district's Annual District Report Card.[18]
The Annual District Report Card compares district performance with state performance based on four criteria:[18]
- Student Achievement: This category compares reading and math performance by district students to state and national standards.
- Student Growth: This category compares year-to-year performance on reading and math sections in WSAS tests.
- Closing Gaps: This category compares test performance by low-performing groups in the district to similar cohorts across the state.
- On-Track and Postsecondary Readiness: This category uses benchmarks including ACT scores, graduation rate, attendance rate and math achievement to assess post-graduate preparedness.
Green Bay Area Public School District achieved an overall score of 64.5 during the 2013-2014 school year. The district's overall score led to a "Meets Expectations" designation from the Department of Public Instruction. The following tables compare district performance with state performance according to the 2013-2014 Annual District Report Card:[18]
Historical data
The state's Annual District Report Card includes a review of district and state proficiency information in mathematics and reading for the previous five years. This review includes data from the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examination (WKCE) and the Wisconsin Alternate Assessment for Students with Disabilities (WAA-SwD) for students from grades three through eight and 10. The following tables compare the district's percentage of proficient and advanced proficient students with state levels from the 2008-2009 school year through the 2013-2014 school year:[18]
Superintendent speaks out at hearing on proposed budget
At a public hearing on Gov. Scott Walker's proposed budget, Green Bay Superintendent Michelle Langenfeld told the Wisconsin Legislature's Joint Finance Committee that she needs help crafting her district's budget. Langenfeld said her district cannot be sure what its revenue will be with the possibility of unlimited vouchers available to private schools for the 2015-2016 school year.[19]
"How do I explain, that if history is to be our guide, many of these students will never have attended the school district and therefore, the voucher program is literally taking money away from their students' classrooms to pay for vouchers," said Langenfeld.[19]
Langenfeld was not alone in speaking out against the proposed cuts and changes to public education funding. Education officials from the Appleton Area School District, the Howard-Suamico School District and the Ashwaubenon School District joined Langenfeld and more than 200 others to testify at the hearing. Along with education issues, people spoke to lawmakers on health care issues, transportation funding and changes to programs for seniors and the disabled.[19]
Staff members from private voucher schools in Green Bay, Appleton, and Fond du Lac also attended the hearing to praise the governor's proposal to expand the voucher system.[19]
Student information requested from school choice group
School Choice Wisconsin, a school choice advocacy group, requested information on all students attending the Green Bay Area Public School District in February 2015, and under state law, the district was required to provide it. Green Bay Superintendent Michelle Langenfeld, however, informed parents of the request, and after hearing from a number of them, School Choice Wisconsin changed its original request.[20][21][22]
"We have never had a request from a third party asking for information about every single student. Our real concern is student privacy," said Langenfeld in response to the initial request.[21]
School Choice Wisconsin filed an open records request for student names, addresses, phone numbers, grade levels and schools from a total of 30 school districts in the state. The request came after Gov. Scott Walker proposed lifting the enrollment cap on the statewide voucher program. Jim Bender, president of School Choice Wisconsin, said the gathered information would be used to educate parents on their school choice options and would likely be shared with private and parochial schools that are currently part of the state's voucher program. He likened the requests to other marketing efforts, such as billboards and mailings, and said the same information is provided in student directories and to college and military recruiters.[20][21][23][24]
In response to questions from parents about the information, School Choice Wisconsin limited its records request to student addresses only, no longer requesting students names, phone numbers, grade levels or schools.[22]
"We worked with the district to both clarify our use of the data and help resolve parental concerns. It was never our intention to use the data in any way that would cause privacy concerns," said School Choice Wisconsin President Jim Bender in a joint statement released with the school district.[22]
Some state officials saw the request as an infringement on student privacy. State Sen. Dave Hansen (D) and State Rep. Eric Genrich (D) expressed concern over the student data request.[20][21]
"As a parent and lawmaker, I'm outraged by this request for personal student information," said Genrich.[21]
Genrich said his office received a number of concerns in regards to the request, and he relayed these concerns to School Choice Wisconsin. After the joint statement was made, Genrich released his own statement.[22]
"While I remain opposed to this open records request in principle and in its entirety, I am pleased that some progress was made in the short-term to better safeguard student information," said Genrich.[22]
Together, he and Hansen have proposed a bill to protect students' personal information. They plan to allow access to student information only "to advance a school's educational mission but keep it out of the hands of those who might seek to harm children."[20]
Unlike some districts, the Green Bay Area Public School District would have had to provide all the requested information to School Choice Wisconsin if they had not limited the request, as the district defines everything the group originally asked for as directory data information. State law requires school districts to turn over directory data information to anyone who asks for it, but it also allows school districts to decide on their own definition of what constitutes directory data information. The Oshkosh Area School District, for example, has a more limited definition of directory data information, so it did not have to provide School Choice Wisconsin with the addresses or phone numbers of its middle and high school students.[24]
According to legal counsel for the Green Bay Area Public School District, the district plans to change its definition of directory data information for the 2015-2016 school year. The district asked for a fee of $380 in order to assemble and copy the records requested.[23][24]
Combating truancy
The Green Bay Area Public School District has a truancy rate of 11.6 percent, and officials want to change that, specifically at the elementary school level. Administrators, social workers and police officers are working together to start a new initiative to get kids to school.[25][26]
That initiative started with a letter sent early in 2014 to families with a history of truancy, signed by the school district, the district's attorney, the Green Bay police force and the municipal judge. Then, over the summer, social workers identified which families had the highest truancy rates and met with them individually to work on getting their kids to school. This new initiative is trying to avoid former methods of dealing with truancy, such as writing tickets or punishing students, and instead help families overcome the barriers that keep their children from going to school.[25][26]
According to Erica Winkler, a social worker in one of the district's elementary schools, those barriers, such as a lack of warm clothing to wear in the winter months and having no transportation and no adult available to walk children to school, are more often the cause of truancy in elementary school than a student's desire to skip class. The district's $7.9 million budget for student transportation allows around 9,000 students out of 22,000 to receive transportation, but expanding student transportation would be fiscally irresponsible, according to district officials. Instead, they are looking into cab options, gas cards and bus tokens for those who have transportation issues.[25]
The more students fall behind when they are young, the more anxious they become and the less likely they are to want to go to school, which creates a learned behavior, according Winkler. This is why the new truancy initiative is focused on elementary school children. Getting younger students to school while they are still learning the basics should help eliminate truancy problems in the future.[26]
Changing the grading scale
In a unanimous decision by the Green Bay Board of Education, students in the district will be graded on a new scale starting with the 2014-2015 school year. The changes added plusses and minuses to the five letter grades and made a failing grade 10 points lower than the former grading scale. Nearly 89 percent of teachers in the district were in favor of the switch. The changes were made to give teachers more flexibility in grading and help students compete with other students in the area. Though existing GPAs will remain, under the new system students on the border of a B under the old scale would be granted an A- with the new scale. This could mean a GPA bump for some students, which could bring in more scholarship money for those going to college.[27]

Beatport Sold To SFX Entertainment For $50 Million
Is every small company destined to sell out once they become big? A lot of the small-time shops that promise to remain underground and never let their head become large, have to deal with the challenge of growing their business and keeping their fan base theirs. In the most genuine of cases, a company will start out as a non-profit resource, like an information booth or a community hub – but even those are not immune to the infection that the thought of profit brings. These same guys will later sell out and make millions from their creation, without a single thought as to what will become of it, once out of their hands.
Only a few years ago, the major radio stations became incorporated with one of the largest broadcast groups, ClearChannel, and the result was that traditional radio and the ability to play "whatever you want" was lost to aggressive marketing and campaigns. This is why hip-hop stations rarely play actual hip hop music. Beatport was noted for recently being sold for a cool $50 million dollars. Since beatport was known for spotting trends in new EDM music, its perceived value is much more than the amount of songs it boasted for download.

Fashion Week in Nigeria highlights talent of local designers
When we think of fashion week, major cities like Paris, Milan and New York City usually come to mind. Rarely, however, do places that are on the continent of Africa pop into our heads. However, any preconceived notions that we have about style hot spots may soon be dispelled according to various news sources.
Lagos, Nigeria, hosted MTN Lagos Fashion & Design Week that ran from October 24 to October 27. Buyers and designers from en vogue European labels like Selfridges & Co. and MyTheresa.com were among those in attendance as long-legged models wearing outfits from almost 40 collections, including Africa's own Ituen Basi's, strutted their stuff on the runway.
Local Nigerians have been making a name for themselves over the past few years. For example, talented designers like Duro Olowu has long been considered one of Michelle Obama's favorite designers, and Deola Sagoe was praised by the likes of U.S. Vogue editor Andre Leon Talley and Oprah Winfrey.
Although most Nigerians live on a mere $2 a day, there is a growing population of wealthy residents, many of whom value and love shopping for high-end luxury goods.
"Nigerians are part of our Top 10 highest-spending foreign customers," Selfridges public relations manager Bruno Barba said in a statement. "It felt right for us to try and find a response that would appeal to them, excite them and be over and above what they already buy, almost as a recognition that they're an important part of our consumer base."
As fashion trends continue extending beyond the United States' and Europe's borders, it's important that fashionistas stay in-the-know about what is hot and what is not. Luckily, you can look like a diva without spending like one when you buy from Dellamoda.com. We're an online retailer that sells designer purses, handbags and accessories for a lower price than what you would pay in a department store.
