As concern mounts in Israel over the possibility that Syria's chemical weapons
will fall into rogue hands, the IDF recently tested a new air raid siren that
will notify the public of incoming missiles carrying non-conventional
The possibility of using two different sirens during a future
conflict – one for conventional missiles and the other for missiles carrying
non-conventional warheads – was first revealed in The Jerusalem Post two years
ago after it came up following that summer's nationwide civil defense
At the time, the Home Front Command decided to shelve the plan,
but several weeks ago – likely as result of the ongoing uprising in Syria – it
renewed tests of the siren.
Since the Second Lebanon War in 2006, the IDF
Home Front Command has invested in improving Israeli warning systems and has
doubled the number of sirens stationed throughout the country to a whopping
While Israeli radars can detect missile launches, they are not
capable of determining if a missile is carrying a nonconventional
"This would be based on intelligence but there is no reason for
people to put on their gas masks for every missile that is fired into Israel if
they don't have to," a senior Home Front Command officer explained.
As a
result, it is possible that if war were to break out with Syria, which has a
large arsenal of chemical weapons, the IDF would maintain a stringent policy of
airing the non-conventional siren for every missile launched from Syria. On the
other hand, a regular siren would sound for missiles launched from
Syria is believed to have one of the most extensive chemical
weapons arsenal in the world which reportedly includes Sarin, VX and mustard
Israel is concerned that Syria's chemical weapons could possibly
fall into rogue hands. This worry stems from intelligence obtained by the West
which indicates that advanced conventional military platforms have already been
moved out of Syria by Hezbollah.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- Firefighters found a soapy mess floating atop four miles of the Alcovy River late Saturday afternoon.
Crews arrived at an area of the river between Hurricane Shoals and Freemans Mill roads about 5:30 p.m. and spotted the substance floating on the water's surface.
Capt. Tommy Rutledge said the fire department's hazmat team checked the substance and "determined it to be non-toxic and non-hazardous to wildlife or the environment."
The source, it turned out, was from a retention pond behind an industrial complex on Petty Road in Lawrenceville. "It is unknown how the soapy material made it into the waters of the river or who is responsible," Rutledge said.
Crews notified the Department of Natural Resources and the Environmental Protection Division as a precaution. The hazmat team left late Saturday to "allow nature to take its course to dissipate the soap."
There were no injuries reported, Rutledge said.

|Livestock Quality Assurance for Junior Fair exhibitors
|Thursday, March 14, 2013 12:39 PM
Extension Educator Paulding County
The youth quality assurance program introduces youth to the responsibilities associated with food animal production and teaches skills necessary to produce a safe and wholesome food. Interactive lessons on animal management techniques and practice in ethical decision-making related to food animal production are included. Program results indicate participants gain skills in animal management techniques and the youths' opinions about consumer expectations have been positively influenced. Furthermore, the program provides a successful model for including character education with subject matter education.
When young producers begin a project where the final product is food, they also assume a legal and moral obligation to produce a quality, wholesome, and safe product for consumers. It is critical that young producers are consciously aware of these responsibilities and understand their implications. Only with such an understanding will they adopt practices and procedures that allow them to fulfill their obligations to consumers.
Because of a desire to instill this understanding in youth, quality assurance education has become a major focus for our fair livestock exhibitors. As youth learn to implement quality assurance practices, they will develop an awareness and skills that will affect their current projects. In addition, they will develop an appreciation for food safety and responsibility that will form the foundation for their future contributions as producers and consumers.
To educate our youth on the importance, value and promotion of a wholesome food product, two Paulding County Quality Assurance Programs have been scheduled. The first program is scheduled for 6-8 p.m. on March 21 and a second program will be held from 9-11 a.m. on March 2. Both programs will be held in the Extension building. Youth and their parent or guardian must attend a Quality Assurance program before they can exhibit their animal in a junior livestock show sponsored by the county agricultural society.
Remember, we are producing a product that demands quality and is safe for consumption.

Neighborhood leaders lobby commissioners to vote against mega condos
By Andrew Abramson
While it's looking more likely that the commission will vote to place a pair of mega condos on North Flagler Drive, neighborhood leaders from the north end are continuing to fight the project.
All nine presidents of the north end neighborhood associations have signed a letter that opposes the project. Despite The Related Group reducing the condos from 23 and 22 stories to 21 and 20 stories, and 506 units to 450 units, opponents do not believe the reduction in size is nearly enough.
Mike Mullen, president of the Northwood Gardens Neighborhood Association, said on Thursday that he believes commissioners can still be swayed to vote against the project.
"The waterfront (in West Palm's north end) has some of the most vacant land left for South Florida waterfront development," Mullen said. "We believe this is our one shot at getting development right at the waterfront and making sure it's done properly."
Here's the letter signed by all nine north end neighborhood presidents
Dear Mayor and Commissioners:
As each of you know, the northend neighborhood associations ("Northend") collectively have met with representatives of The Related Group ("TRG") on numerous occasions in an attempt to work with them on a satisfactory project for the 4400 block of Flagler Drive. TRG initially approached the Northend offering $1 Million and asking for our support of the revised project which would take the development from 150 units to 506 units. The neighborhood associations (nine altogether) unanimously rejected the proposed structure because it was simply too massive of a structure for the neighborhood character and well outside the limits of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
In addition to the unanimous opposition to the project in the Northend, the report issued from the City's own Planning Department recommended against permitting the construction of the project. Despite all of the opposition, TRG chose to proceed with the project and sought approval from the Planning and Zoning Board ("PZB"). The PZB also voted against the massive project for the same reasons that the Northend opposes the project and the same reasons the City's own Planning Department did not approve the project. Instead of approaching the Northend to discuss what would constitute an acceptable project, TRG chose to proceed before the Commission with the expectation that it had sufficient votes to force the project upon the Northend residents. On the eve of the Commission meeting and only after concluding that it lacked the necessary support, TRG pulled the project from the Commission agenda. TRG represented to the Commission that it would meet with the Northend representatives to frod an acceptable project. It did not do this.
Instead, TRG made limited modifications that reduced the proposed project to 450 units. TRG then reset the project before the Commission for approval based upon the limited modifications at which point TRG presented the revised proposed project to the Northend. Unfortunately, the revised proposed project suffers from the same defects as the last proposed project. Specifically, TRG seeks to build 90 units per acre while the City's Comprehensive Plan only permits 33 units per acre. Such construction is nearly three (3) times what is permitted under the Comprehensive Plan. Importantly, TRG is incorporating approximately 1.5 acres that are under water in its calculations. The unitsper-dry-Iand is actually 128 units per acre or nearly four (4) times what is permitted under the Comprehensive Plan. The project also violates the set back requirements that were established in the Comprehensive Plan. TRG also failed to address the traffic and parking concerns that were previously raised by the Northend. Thus, TRG's revisions do little to overcome the defects that resulted in the cancellation of the previous proposed project. The revised proposed project is again unanimously rejected by all nine neighborhood associations. Importantly, the City's own Planning Staff again recommends that the Commission deny TRG's modified proposed project for the same reasons it is opposed by the Northend.
The residents that make up each of these associations are very active in the Northend and seek only what is in the best interests of the Northend in the long run. The Northend is excited about the opportunity to have a project constructed at this very site and elsewhere along the Northend's waterfront. The project however must promote homeownership, not a rental community and it must fit within the Northend community. Unfortunately, TRG chose not work with the Northend and as a result, its latest revisions fail to address the same concerns that the Northend has previously expressed in TRG's efforts to develop this project.

Tensions were running high Tuesday morning at the Lucas County Board of Elections meeting after less than a month ago, the Secretary of State's Office released a scathing report on the board, its organization and staff.
During Tuesday's meeting, a response to the secretary's consultant report was delivered to the board members by director Megan Gallagher, addressing issues such as fiscal management structure and operations, which were outlined in the report.
"Of the 21 full-time staff [members] the board currently has, only five have ever been reviewed. That is definitely an area I believe we should focus on," said Gallagher.
The lengthy response to criticisms addressed and accepted, however, was overshadowed by the fallout between Republican board members Jon Stainbrook and Tony DeGidio.
Read the Lucas County Board of Elections' response to the secretary of state's report.
Stainbrook has filed a complaint with the secretary of state arguing DeGidio should be removed from the board because of an ethics investigation and his lack of an established residence in Lucas County.
"I've said for months, that I've reported it to many different places that he does not live in Lucas County, by his own admissions that he didn't live in Lucas County, and so I asked him to get an apartment - he wouldn't do that," said Stainbrook.
DeGidio fired back by claiming Stainbrook has a conflict of interest because of his relationship with the director.
"I've known them for many years. There's no doubt they have a relationship," said DeGidio.
It is a claim Stainbrook denies.
"When someone doesn't live in Lucas County and you call them out on the carpet, what do you expect him to say?" said Stainbrook.
DeGidio says he is not surprised by the attack.
"This is what happens when you don't agree with Jon, you get attacked," DeGidio said.
DeGidio says the only reason he is now taking heat from Stainbrook is because he supports removing Gallagher from the board.
"It's funny. All these things that are getting raised against me immediately started happening when it became clear that I would probably vote to oust Megan Gallagher," said DeGidio.
Arguments were also made by two Democrat board members. At the end of the meeting, board member John Irish motioned to fire the director and deputy director, but it did not receive a second.
Board Chairman Ron Rothenbuhler said he will give the director and deputy director one more month to create a new organizational chart to clearly define both job descriptions.
"Then I'll gladly support a motion that both of them can't make it. I'll be the last one to do that. I'm offering them as much time as I can allow," said Rothenbuhler.

Bursledon gran belly dancers for Princess Anne Hospital baby unit
4:00pm Thursday 4th October 2012 in News By Michael Carr, Reporter
A HAMPSHIRE grandmother is staging an exotic night out that she hopes will raise vital funds for a baby unit.
More than twenty dancers will show-off their best moves in a belly dancing extravaganza.
The dance night will have eye-popping dance moves, Egyptian outfits and plenty of colours – and it is all in aid of Southampton's Princess Anne Hospital's Neo-Natal Unit.
The event, will be held at Hedge End Social Club in Bursledon Road this Saturday.
Organiser, Lydia Osborne saw her two-dayold grandson die in Princess Anne Hospital in Southampton in June last year, after he suffered a double hernia.
He was treated at Southampton Princess Anne Hospital, where doctors desperately tried to save his life.
Lydia, 47 from Bursledon, said: "When my grandson passed away and I saw the doctors trying to keep him alive I wanted to give something back.
"They tried so hard to help him, at one stage there were sixteen doctors around him. It left me heartbroken."
Now all Mrs Osborne wants to do is to raise money to help other families so that their children will have a better chance of survival – and is using her passion for belly dancing.
She has belly danced professionally for three years, and Miss Osborne said: "Some people have wine, some people have chocolate but I have my dancing.
"If you get the right crowd it is amazing. However there's occasionally someone who mistakes you for a kissogram."
The event will have a dancing workshop with two teachers from 11am to 5pm, and the dancing spectacular starts at 7pm.
Tickets for the workshop cost £15 or £20, and £8 for the dance. To buy tickets call Lydia Osborne on 07791 078308

Revision as of 16:30, 15 July 2008
At the end of our last lesson we completed the game menu interface for our Arkanoid game. One of the screens we didn't create was the Game screen. Our goal is to produce a game screen like the screen shot bellow:
For the game screen we cannot use the high level ui elements because we need to have full control the way our game elements are draw and how to react to keypad events. In order to do this we need to use the low level interface classes available in Java ME.
The classes belonging to the low-level groups allow detailed control of the screen elements and events, with them you can specify position, color and size. The trade-off of more control is lesser portability because you need to adapt to each device capabilities.
The following diagram shows the main classes of this group:
The entry point is the Canvas class which gives you access to the system events:
- keyPressed(), keyRepeated(), keyReleased(), notify the canvas when the keypad is being used
- pointerPressed(), pointerDragged(), pointerReleased(), notify the canvas when the pointer is being used, available on phones with stylus
- paint(), notifies the Canvas when it need to paint the screen, this method gives you access to the Graphics object.

- getWidth(), getHeight(), give access to the current size of the screen available to be draw on.
The Graphics class provides the methods for direct drawing to the screen:
- drawLine(), draws a line
- drawRect(), fillRect, draws a Rectangle to the screen
- fillTriangle(), draws a filled Rectangle
- drawArc(), fillArc, draws a arc on the screen, can be used to draw circles
- drawChar(), drawChars, drawString, draws characters to the screen using the current font
- drawImage(), draws a bitmap image to the screen
- setFont(), defines the current font being used
- setColor(), defines the current color being used by the draw methods
To create our game screen we need to extend the Canvas class, and implements our custom paint method.
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Canvas;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Graphics;
public class MyCanvas extends Canvas{
int width;
int height;
public MyCanvas() {
protected void paint(Graphics g) {
// stores width and height
width = getWidth();
height = getHeight();
// set background color
// clear screen
g.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
// draw a red circle that represents a ball
g.drawArc(100, 100, 5, 5, 0, 360);
// draws a blue rectangle for the pad
g.fillRect(100, 200, 15, 15);
To activate our Canvas we need to create it in our MIDlet class and then display it on our CommandAction method.
public Displayable initGameCanvas() {
if (gameCanvas == null){
gameCanvas = new MyCanvas();
// add a back Command to return to the menu screen
// set the listener to our actions
return gameCanvas;
After you add this code, you can know enter the New Game option in the main menu that will display an amazing black screen with a red ball and a blue pad, not very impressive but it's a start. Now we need to animate these elements, let's see how to do that. Any ideas?
Game Loop
Before we continue you need to understand the way a typical game applications works. A game or animation is built according to the principle of repetitively executing a piece of code. This piece of code tracks the value of variables and updates the game state accordingly. Based on the game state, the code then draws/paints/repaints the game screen with the elements that make up the game. The values of the variables may change because of either user interaction or internal game behavior.
The repetitive execution is effected by putting the repetitive code in an continuous loop. Before entering the loop, an variable may be checked to see if the game should still be running, and if not, the loop may be exited. The code in the loop should allow the current thread of execution to sleep every few milliseconds to control the rate at which the update to the game state is done (in effect, how fast the game screen should be refreshed). To put it in coding terms:
public class MyCanvas extends GameCanvas implements Runnable{
public void start() {
run = true;
Thread t = new Thread(this);
public void stop() {
run = false;
public void run(){
while (run){
// update game elements, positions, collisions, etc..
// check user input
// render screen
// redraws screen
// controls at which rate the updates are done
As you may have noticed we are using the GameCanvas class, this is a specialization of the Canvas class, optimized for gaming applications. It uses the following techniques:
- Double buffering, the GameCanvas uses an off-screen image which is used for all painting operations. When all painting is done it can be rendered to the screen using the flushGraphics() method. This eliminates flickering and gives a smoother animation.
- Stores key state in arrays, trough the method getKeyStates(), you can access a bit array that indicates the state of each key using the constants defined in Canvas: DOWN_PRESSED
Besides the use of GameCanvas we are using a Thread to keep the animation running independent of MIDlet events, this way our animation will never wait for system events to repaint itself. Returning to our Arkanoid game we know need to implement the specific game logic for our game. In our game three kinds of entities are present:
- The pad, our game avatar it's just a small rectangle that moves left to right in the bottom of the screen.
- The ball, starts connected to the pad, and when you press fire it goes up vertically, with the horizontal speed of the pad.
- The bricks, static blocks in top of the screen each time they are hit by the ball they disappear.
The goal of the game is to make all the bricks disappear as fast as possible, and don't let ball get away trough the bottom of the screen. We need to keep track of three variables:
- score of the player, for each brick hit the player earns 10 points
- number of lifes remaining, each time the ball goes by the bottom the screen the player looses an life
- time remaining, the player has a limit of time to complete the game
So let's start coding, first we need to define some classes to represent our game entities:

As you can see by the diagram we defined a class called Entity, this class is going to be the parent for all our game entities, it will provide them the following functionalities:
- x,y: defines the current position of our entity
- speedX, speedY: define the speed of our entity
- witdth, height: define the size of our entity
- update(): method where we going to define the behavior of our entity.
- paint(): method were we use the graphics class to draw our entity
- collided(): a helper function that allows to check collision between entities
Then we extend the class Entity for each of our game elements and implement the update and paint methods. For the ball we have:
public class Ball extends Entity {
public int radium = 2;
public Ball(int radium){
this.radium = radium;
width = radium * 2;
height = radium * 2;
// red color
this.color = 0x00FF0000;
* Paints the ball using a circle
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.fillArc(x, y, radium*2, radium*2, 0, 360);
* Updates the ball position.
public void update() {
// update position
x += speedX;
y += speedY;
For the pad we have:
public class Pad extends Entity{
int minLimit = 0;
int maxLimit = 1;
public Pad(int width, int height) {
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.fillRect(x, y, width, height);
public void update() {
// change x position according the speed
x += speedX;
// check if world bounds are reached
if (x < minLimit) {
x = minLimit;
if (x+width > maxLimit){
x = maxLimit - width;
And finally for the bricks:
Now we need create and configure all these classes on our canvas class, let's create an init() method on the Canvas class.
public void init(){
// resets lifes
lifes = 3;
// resets score
score = 0;
// resets time
time = 0;
// bricks hit
bricksHit = 0;
// create a pad
pad = new Pad(getWidth()/10,getWidth()/10/4);
pad.x = (this.getWidth()-pad.width) / 2;
pad.y = this.getHeight() - (2*pad.height);
pad.maxLimit = getWidth();
pad.minLimit = 0;
// create ball
ball = new Ball(4);
ball.x = getWidth() / 2;
ball.y = getHeight() / 2;
ball.speedX = 1;
ball.speedY = 1;
// set collision limits
wallMinX = 0;
wallMaxX = getWidth();
wallMinY = 0;
// to allow to get out of screen
wallMaxY = getHeight() + 4 * ball.radium;
// create bricks
Brick brick;
bricks = new Vector();
for (int i=0; (i*(BRICK_WIDTH+2))<getWidth(); i++){
brick = new Brick(Util.setColor(255,0,0));
brick.width = BRICK_WIDTH;
brick.height = BRICK_HEIGHT;
brick.x = (i*(brick.width+2));
brick.y = 20;
After we have all the objects created we need to update their state and paint them, so need to add some code to the updateGameState() and updateGameScreen methods():
// draws elements to the screen
protected void updateGameScreen(Graphics g) {
// stores width and height
width = getWidth();
height = getHeight();
// set background color
// clear screen
g.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
// draw score
g.drawString("Score:"+score+" Lifes:"+lifes+" Time: "+time, 0, 0, Graphics.TOP|Graphics.LEFT);
// draw game elements
// draw bricks stored in the Vector bricks
for (int i=0; i < bricks.size(); i++){
Brick brick = (Brick)(bricks.elementAt(i));
// updates state of all element in the game
public void updateGameState(){
// check if bricks ended
if (bricksHit == bricks.size()){
run = false;
Just one thing missing is to react for keypad events to move the player pad
// update game entities according to use presses on keypad
public void checkUserInput() {
int state = getKeyStates();
if ( (state & GameCanvas.LEFT_PRESSED) > 0) {
// move left
} else if ( (state & GameCanvas.RIGHT_PRESSED) > 0) {
// move right
} else {
// don't move
Now if you run you emulator you should have a real game screen, where you can play your own game, move the pad hit the ball and erase all the bricks!
In the next class we going to see how we can use images to get a better looking game. See you soon.

More than 200 kids and about 35 volunteer coaches attended Lions running back Joique Bell's camp Tuesday. (Josh Katzenstein / Detroit News)
West Bloomfield � When the Lions lost their final home game in 2008 to fall to 0-15, Joique Bell was in the crowd at Ford Field.
�I�ll never forget looking in the stands and someone had a sign that said, �Buying a new car: $20,000. Buying a new house: $200,000. Lions go 0-16: Priceless,�� said Bell, who was a Wayne State football player at the time.
Bell is entering his third full season as a Lions running back, but unlike many of his teammates, the Benton Harbor native understands what it�s like to grow up a Detroit fan.
And because of his deep ties to the area, Bell has worked this summer to help youth in the community, both on and off the field. In addition to holding his fourth annual football camp in his hometown in May, Bell held another camp Tuesday at West Bloomfield High School.
�I have to,� Bell said of why he hosted a second camp. �I consider this my home now as well. My hometown is Benton Harbor, but my residency is in Detroit. And I�ve been here since 2005, so I�ve grown attached to the city.
�This is what you�re supposed to do for the city where you come from.�
More than 200 kids and about 35 volunteer coaches attended Bell�s camp Tuesday. After more than an hour outside, rain pushed the activities indoors.
Once the group went inside, Bell answered several questions from both kids and parents. He discussed the importance of teamwork in all facets of life and told the kids to write down their goals so they knew what they wanted to achieve. He also told one parent he never had to choose between football and school, noting that he graduated high school with a grade-point average above 3.0.
After sharing the story of his NFL journey, Bell told the kids to follow their dreams no matter what other people say. Before signing with the Lions at the end of the 2011 season, Bell had stints with four other teams, but after signing a three-year contract worth $9.3 million, he�s found a home in Detroit.
Bell called it a �dream come true� to be able to inspire local youth.
�When I go out there and play, it�s bigger than me,� Bell said. �It�s bigger than football. It�s about bringing positive feedback back to this community, back to this team, back to this organization. I grew up here in Michigan, so I know what it feels like to be through these trying times.�
In 2013, Bell had 650 rushing yards and eight touchdowns and 547 receiving yards while sharing the running back load with Reggie Bush. And no matter how good things were last year or may be in the future, Bell will continue to think about that sign he saw in December 2008.
�I randomly always think about that sign in my head,� he said. �Now that I�m here and I can make a difference, I always think about that sign when I�m working out or anything like that.�

Woman robbed at knifepoint by masked gang who burst into her Bradford home
12:04pm Thursday 23rd January 2014 in News
An armed gang robbed a woman at knifepoint in her own home.
Police are now appealing for information on the terrifying raid in Ransdale Grove, West Bowling, Bradford, after the men fled with jewellery and cash.
At about 9am yesterday, a man knocked on the door of the house. When the occupant, a woman in her 30s, answered the door, he forced his way in, followed by two other men in balaclavas.
The men threatened the woman with a knife, before stealing jewellery and cash.
The gang then left in a black Vauxhall Insignia car driven by a fourth man, which headed off towards Manchester Road and was later found abandoned in East Bowling.
The victim was left bruised and very shaken.
The man who knocked at the door was described as Asian, while the men in balaclavas were believed to be white. All four men were wearing dark clothing.
Detective Inspector Ryan Bragg, said: "This was a particularly nasty incident, which left the victim very shaken.
"I would appeal for anyone with information to contact Bradford CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111."

Here are six things you need to know about Washington State's upcoming game versus USC:
1) Sept. 7, 7:30 p.m.
This Saturday will be the first time that USC and WSU have played in almost three years. Due to the Pac-12 scheduling rotation, USC hasn't met WSU since 2010, when the Trojans won 50-16 behind 187 yards and two touchdowns from fullback Stanley Havili. It was the eighth straight win for USC over the Cougars.
2) 91-19-7
USC is 91-19-7 (.816) in home openers.
3) 8-58-4
WSU has won only 8 of 70 possible games against the Trojans. Their most recent win came in 2002, a 30-27 overtime victory in Pullman. It was the second straight win for WSU over USC, and its third in five tries.
4) 231
Total yards allowed by USC's defense in it's 30-13 win over Hawaii on Aug. 29. The Trojans totaled seven sacks, held Hawaii to 23 yards rushing and 4-of-18 on third down.
5) 199
Career receptions by USC wide receiver Marqise Lee, for 2,968 yards and 25 touchdowns. Lee had 118 grabs for 1,721 yards and 14 touchdowns last year, when he was a unanimous first-team All-American widely considered the best skill position player in college football. Lee had a down week in the win over Hawaii, totaling eight catches for 104 yards but dropping a couple easy passes.
6) 169-41-8
USC has a nearly .800 winning percentage in September (.794).

The all new Flysurfer FlySplit combines the opportunity to dissemble the board in the middle with the performance of a normal kiteboard. This is the crucial feature that wins extra space when traveling, whilst maintaining that the kiteboard performs just as well as a Radical or Flydoor. Innovation has always been one of Flysurfer's highest aspirations when it comes to product development. This self-set aim motivates the development team surrounding Andi Hanrieder every day to create new ideas. One of these truly innovative products is the new boardline, FlySplit.
2014 Flysurfer FlySplit Highlights
Save when traveling - Especially helpful in these times of ever increasing excess baggage fees, charged by airlines on route to your favorite kite destinations, the FlySplit gives you the opportunity to dissemble your kiteboard easily and quickly so that it fits into your travel-bag. This innovation ensures that you won't ever have to wait the extra minutes -or hours- at the beginning and end of your journey with check in and collection of your sporting luggage. The benefits are not exclusive to air-travel, when reaching your kite spot in a smaller car, or even in a sports car, the FlySplit offers you great flexibility. You might also take the chance to give your friend a lift to the spot, something which would otherwise be near impossible.
Precise manufacture of a high quality construction - To meet the high demands on this product, we've invested three years of intense testing and developing the FlySplit to create a kiteboard which is more than just a separable kiteboard. Thanks to our manufacturing in Europe we can guarantee that the FlySplits are produced with the best resources. By using only the best material, we achieve riding characteristics which combine both comfort and high performance. The splitting construction is impressively simple. The zigzag construction joins easily together and needs only to be fixed with a metal splint on both sides. In the centre and the edges of the board we use a full-wood-core to ensure great durability and dynamic performance. For the less stressed areas like the tips we use a light-foam-construction to save unnecessary weight. Due to this construction the FlySplits offers great performance but also a great deal of comfort in choppy and gusty conditions.
One system – two sizes - The FlySplit M in size 134cm x 41cm is made for those riders who love the high performance of the Radical. With the FlySplit M you do not have to miss out on neither an extreme pop for hooked or unhooked jumps nor fantastic up-wind performance. The FlySplit L is available in 160cm x 44cm. Heavier riders and kiters who do not want to miss out in light winds will love this board. The FlySplit L has a centre fin on the heel-side to increase the maximum up-wind performance. The innovative FlySplit M and FlySplit L have very low board weights, coming in at 2.55 kilograms and 3.15 kilograms respectively. This makes traveling even more fun.
Summary - The FlySplits are great allrounders, which should not be left out on any travel, whether with plane, sports car or motorcycle. Due to the fantastic opportunity of splitting the boards in half, the FlySplits are a proper alternative to normal boards on the kitesurfing market. Thanks to a three year development phase, we can guarantee that the FlySplits perform like excellent kiteboards, but are still seperable. Thus there is no compromise on quality and performance.
2014 Flysurfer FlySplit Features
The Split-System makes the FlySplits to the first separable kiteboards that do not compromise in performance.
It only takes a few seconds to easily and quickly assemble a FlySplit. Through the zigzag construction both board parts join and are fixed by two metal splints. From the car onto the water in only a in a twinkling
No more checking in sports luggage and paying extra fees when you travel. The FlySplit M fits in your normal travel bag (common bag size: 75x52x31cm). For the FlySplit "L" please compare the pack size of the board with the internal dimensions of your suit case prior to your flight.
With their low weight of 2.55kg and 3.15kg for the FlySplit M and FlySplit L respectively, the FlySplits belong to the lightest kiteboards on the market. No extra luggage and better riding characteristics guaranteed.
All FlySplits have a hybrid core, aimed at achieving a maximum harmony of board weight, performance and durability. A foam core comes into use on the toe side in the longitudinal direction, providing a significant reduction in weight. On the side with more load, the heel side, a robust wood core is used, guaranteeing breaking stability and the dynamic recovery force of the board.
The innovative assembly of a unidirectional woven layer lengthwise and an additional woven layer (torsion layer) at a 45-degree-angle achieves considerably higher torsion stiffness, which is reflected in increased jumping performance with nevertheless good comfort.
All of our boards have a special high-quality UV and scratch-resistant coating, and thus offer a long product life. The graphic design is protected under the coating, so that it does not get damaged if the board is slightly scratched.
The "Tucked-Under" Edge has been cut off at a 45 degree-angle, as surfboards have been manufactured traditionally. This makes the board very controllable, even in choppy conditions and reduces spray.
Wider insert positions make it easier to land. There are three different stance options possible - Small (50.4 cm), Normal (56.2 cm) and Wide (61.2 cm).
The FlySplit L has a 8cm long centre-fin on the heel-side. The centre fin increases the upwind performance especially in lightwind.
The asymmetrical rounder and shorter toe-side outline increases control when riding toe-side and provides increased maneuverability while carving.
Thanks to our manufacturing process within Europe we can guarantee highest quality and the usage of only the best materials.

Could Josh Freeman join the Packers?
Green Bay Packers' Cullen Jenkins bats a pass from Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Josh Freeman in the 1st qaurter at Raymond James Stadium, Sunday November 8, 2009. BENNY email@example.com Photo: Image by Benny Sieu
According to a writer with NFL.com, a quarterback just released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could potentially find himself with the Green Bay Packers.
The Buccaneers let go of Josh Freeman on Thursday, one week after benching the fifth-year pro in favor of rookie Mike Glennon.
NFL.com writer Chris Wesseling says that the Packers are among his top 2 possible places to land.
"Coach Mike McCarthy has been looking for Aaron Rodgers' backup since Flynn flew the coop after the 2011 season," wrote Wesseling.
McCarthy's running backs coach is Alex Van Pelt, the QB coach for Tampa Bay in 2010-11.
Van Pelt told ESPN's Rob Demovsky when asked if Freeman could be a starter in the NFL, "no doubt."
A.J. Hawk talked on NFL Network Thursday about Freeman and the events that happened in Tampa.
"When something like that happens with Freeman in Tampa, there's a lot more that we don't know behind the scenes...with the 24-hour news cycle, it's all going to come out," said Hawk. However, he added "The future could still be bright for him."
Freeman was the quarterback when the Packers went down to Tampa and lost in 2009.
"We went down there and they beat us," said Hawk about Freeman's three-touchdown-pass performance.
"He looked really good. He has all the tools."
Hawk didn't address the idea of Freeman joining the Packers, but in general, he said "(Teams) love young guys in this league. A 25-year old with all that talent, someone's going to put him...on a great career path."
Freeman struggled the first three weeks of the season, completing just 45.7 percent of his passes. He's Tampa Bay's career leader in completions and touchdown passes and is second in passing yards.
The Bucs (0-4) released the 25-year-old after contacting every NFL team in an unsuccessful attempt to trade him. The club must pay him the remaining $6.25 million of his salary for this season.
General manager Mark Dominik announced the move Thursday, saying the move was in the best interest of the winless Bucs and Freeman, who threw for 4,065 yards, 27 touchdowns and 17 interceptions in 2012.
The Packers went through a carousel of backups themselves this preseason, and
currently have Seneca Wallace and Scott Tolzien as their backups

Shaw becomes youngest Saint to start in Premier League
2:25pm Saturday 10th November 2012 in Saints News
Teenage left-back Luke Shaw will today become the youngest ever Saints player to start a Premier League match, after being named in the lineup for the visit of Swansea.
Shaw, 17, was used as a late substitute in last Monday's 2-0 defeat at West Brom, but is in this afternoon's starting XI and will have the task of dealing with the visitors' club-record signing, Spanish winger Pablo Hernandez.
Academy graduate Shaw has made one start already for Saints this season, in the 4-1 Capital One Cup win at Stevenage in August.

CATEGORIES MoviesThis weekend, "A Bullet to the Head," the new Sylvester Stallone joint, smashes into theaters. A hard-bodied, full-fisted action movie from Walter Hill (who previously directed such macho classics as "48 Hrs" and "Southern Comfort"), it looks to be just the kind of thing that will thaw us from our wintery doldrums.
It also got us thinking about guilty pleasure action movies, something that became a true phenomenon in the '80s and '90s, which was around the same time that movie studios started becoming tiny facets of giant multinational corporations. This kind of branding is reflected in the posters for these films, which often had one name at the top of the poster (just a last name, like whatever their coach in gym class would call them) and the name of the movie at the bottom. Buy Stallone, people. It sure as hell beats Schwarzenegger.
These are movies that we love and feel kind of bad about loving. What did we miss? What are your favorites? Let us know!

Utility regulators will vote on whether to force Georgia Power to add more solar energy to its system.
The elected members of the Public Service Commission are scheduled to vote Thursday on a proposal that would require Southern Co. subsidiary Georgia Power to add 525 megawatts of solar energy to its network.
The utility did not propose adding any additional solar energy when it put forward its plan for meeting the state's energy needs for the next 20 years.
Commissioner Lauren "Bubba" McDonald made the proposal to require more solar energy use. He said solar energy costs have come down, making the technology more competitive.
His critics say adding more solar energy will raise costs in the long run.

Girl Scouts are Building Bridges Together at Urban Campout 2007
Honoring Paige Fertitta
Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council (GSSJC) is continuously building bridges whether they are between girls and opportunities or future leaders and their communities. Join GSSJC at its highly anticipated annual event, Urban Campout, with the theme of "Building Bridges Together" on Thursday, May 3 from 6 to 10 p.m. at InterContinental Houston Hotel honoring Paige Fertitta. Miya Shay of KTRK-TV Channel 13 will serve as mistress of ceremonies and John McCoy as auctioneer.
When GSSJC and Girl Scouts of South Texas Council merged last summer, a world of new possibilities opened for Girl Scouts in the combined Council's 25 counties. Funds raised from Urban Campout specifically benefit community outreach programs developed by GSSJC that give more than 19,000 girls in low to moderate-income communities the opportunity to participate in outreach programs. These programs include: Girl Scouting in the School Day which provides contemporary issues programs to girls; Girl Scouting Beyond Bars which is designed to help incarcerated mothers foster healthy, lasting relationships with their daughters; Activity Centers, which are Girl Scout meetings that take place in schools, community centers and public housing facilities; an After-School Day Care Program in collaboration with the YMCA; a Head Start Collaboration, which provides a 10 week program in the spring of each year to those girls who will be turning five years old by the end of the summer; and Leadership Development Projects with various housing authorities and schools.
Since Urban Campout's inception in 1991, more than 50,000 girls have been impacted by the more than $2 million raised through this event. Current sponsors include Paige and Tilman Fertitta/Landry's Restaurants Inc., Pogo Producing Co., Dorothy M. Goodykoontz, Halliburton, Holes Inc., Sterling Bank, ABC Interbake Foods, Inc., Baker Hughes, Cooper Industries, H-E-B, Monica and Kevin King, Tami and Dan McGuire, Regina Rogers, Nancy and E.C. "Bud" Simpson, Strasburger & Price L.L.P., Texas Aromatics LP, The Charles and Betti Saunders Foundation, and TGS-NOPEC Geophysical. In-kind and live auction donors are Amazon Grill, Continental Airlines, Landry's Restaurants, Inc., Neiman Marcus and Shell Oil, plus many more.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.5 million girls and adults. Today, as when founded in 1912, GSUSA helps cultivate values, social conscience, and self-esteem in young girls, while also teaching them critical life skills that will enable them to succeed as adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving over 63,000 girl members and 18,000 adults in 25 southeast Texas counties. For more information call 1-800-392-4340 or visit www.gssjc.org.
GSSJC Pluralism Statement
Embracing and promoting pluralism is an integral part of every activity and plan of Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council, not disconnected or separate projects. Only individuals willing to accept and be educated about the basic tenet that Girl Scouting is for all girls may serve in volunteer leadership or staff positions.

[size=18px]Preparation is key, NFL draft vets say[/size]
Pioneer Press
Bobby Beathard can remember the first time he set foot in a draft war room, in 1963 as a part-time scout with the Kansas City Chiefs.
"That was much different than the ones they have today," Beathard said. "At that time, we all sat around coach (Hank) Stram's desk, and they picked. That was during the (AFL-NFL) war, so we picked some good players, but it wasn't organized the way it is now."
The NFL draft was a simpler animal in those days, before war-room cams, ESPN and Mel Kiper Jr., but some things haven't changed.
Beathard, who spent four decades as an NFL personnel man and general manager with Kansas City, the Washington Redskins and San Diego Chargers before finishing up with two seasons as a senior adviser for the Atlanta Falcons from 2002-03, said the key to a good draft then and now can be summed up in one word: preparation.
If he had any advice for Vikings vice president of player personnel Fran Foley, who is preparing to run his first draft room this weekend, that would be it.
"I've never met Fran Foley," Beathard said. "I don't know anything about him. The thing I always thought of in the last couple days before a draft was, 'Hey, we're prepared. We're ready to go. Is there anything on this board that somebody has a problem with?' By the time you get to draft day, you don't want somebody to come up and say some guy's rated wrong. That's the biggest thing, to get all that taken care of before draft day begins. If people in your group have reservations about some things, don't wait until then to say it. Say it early."
Ken Herock, a former personnel director with the Oakland Raiders, Tampa Bay Bucs, Falcons and Green Bay Packers, agrees on the importance of forging a pre-draft consensus.
He still sees this draft as on-the-job training, though, for Foley, whose 12 years of NFL experience were spent entirely on the pro personnel side.
"I would say for Fran Foley, he'd better count on all the people around him," Herock said. "He'd better let the people he's working with help him run it. That would be my advice. He's never run a draft room. I don't know if he's ever been responsible for making a pick in his life. It's a whole different ballgame between (scouting) the pros and college. He's got his hands full. To throw somebody into that position, for me, is scary."
Ron Hill, who logged 26 years as an NFL scout and personnel man with the Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars and Falcons, knows as well as anyone just how intense a war room can be.
As someone who worked with Foley with the Jaguars, though, he believes the Vikings' draft is in good hands.
"Fran's been around," Hill said. "He's been in the league for a while, and he should do fine. It's all about preparation. If you're prepared and your scouts are prepared and your coaches have done a good job of preparing, it shouldn't come down to one person. It's a combination of everybody having input and coming up with the right choices. That's the way I've always done it."
Foley won't be doing it alone with the Vikings, with veteran director of college scouting Scott Studwell still on hand and coach Brad Childress sure to have a voice in whatever players the Vikings select.
If there's any disagreement, though, the final word is supposed to belong to Foley, which could make his seat the hottest in a room where temperatures and tempers can rise in a hurry.
"There's a lot that goes on," Hill said. "It can get heated because a lot of times you're under pressure to make a trade and that type of thing. When that clock's ticking, you've got to be able to make decisions, and the decision makers in that room have to know that their decision is final."
Said Beathard: "You do have to be very mentally agile on that day. If you're inclined to make deals, there are a lot of phone calls that go on three minutes before your pick."
Herock describes the atmosphere in a typical war room as one of quiet intensity.
"You've got to keep control," he said. "You've got to keep everything rolling. One of the biggest disappointments in the draft is when you really like somebody and he's taken right before you pick. Chaos hits the room, and I guarantee you the next pick you take is probably going to be a bust. You say you're prepared, but the guy you're really zeroed in on doesn't get to you, and then you take an alternate pick and a lot of times that guy doesn't become the player you want. That happened to me quite a few times in the draft."
Then there are the last-minute curveballs, such as the one Herock was thrown during the second round of the 1991 draft, when Falcons coach Jerry Glanville made a surprise pitch to take Louisville quarterback Browning Nagle over a guy from Southern Mississippi by the name of Brett Favre.
"In the final analysis, I had scouted both players, and I didn't think there was any comparison," Herock said. "With about 15 seconds to go, I turned in the name, Brett Favre. The coach turned, I think, blue. He couldn't believe it. I think that was probably the reason he was run out of Atlanta."
Former Packers general manager Ron Wolf said there's a lesson in that for Foley and anyone running his first draft room.
"He has watched some pretty good people run them, so I would assume he's going to do it the way he knows best," Wolf said. "The one thing I would say is, no matter what, do it the way you know how to do it. Don't try to be somebody you're not. Be yourself. You've got to be comfortable doing what you have to do."

Local Atmosphere:
The shopping mall is the best because it has lots of stores and the prices are affordable.
Health & Safety:
Health and safety of the school is average because the school only has two nurses and they are not always available when you need them. Not good
Off-Campus Dining:
Indian restaurant is three miles from my school and it is very affordable.
Greek Life:
Greek life doesn't affect me as a person but I have heard some rumors about Greeks being snobby.
Campus Dining:
There is absolutely no option for vegetarians. Not good at all
Financial aid has really helped so many students through school. I personally appreciate the government for granting permanent residents and citizens this opportunity. It is also a great thing because ones GPA is not used to determine their eligibility, most student with low GPA would appreciate it.
Basketball and football happens to get more recognized, whether they win or loose. Almost all the students watches both home and away matches. This is not right because the school has way more than two sports; the students are supposed to support other sports too, mostly male and female tennis because they always with championships.
The student center is always available for students Monday through Saturday. They are always ready to help students excel.
The professors are awesome, they take their time to make student understand.
My Computer Science program is very awesome, most especially the databases. The workload is not too much, internships are very easy to get because a computer scientist is needed in almost all the industries.
Campus Housing:
Shaw University campus housing is okay but can be better if kitchen is available for each dorms.
They help me at every step, with FAFSA, scholarship and Grants. My tip would be to keep your school financial aid informed of what you want.
computers are good.. no color printing. they charge you to make copies.
Campus Strictness:
Shaw will fine you for anything. You get a fine for cursing. You get a fine for smoking outside of the smoking area. You get a fine for smoking in the dorm. You get a fine for your room not being clean (that includes not making your bed). You get a fine for having an argument. and plus NO VISITATION
Shaws academics are great.. Small class sizes. Register early tho cause they be full quick !
Im a mass comm student. The department is great. Although the facilities could be better and more expansive.. Shaw does what it can.
Raleigh weather be switching up quick from day to day.. But if it snows CLASSES CANCELLED
Shaw gave me little to no financial aid. No grants.. no scholarships.. But 2 measly loans. $24,000? All they covered was $5000
There are no campus shuttles.. campus is small. Public buses are $1 one way. And $2 for a day pass which is extremely reasonable.
Being that its an HBCU obviously its majority black.. But there are some foreign students who are clearly here on scholarship to play sports.
Greek Life:
Greeks are cool.. you see them on campus often. They don't act snobbish at all.
The facilities at shaw are old.. There are almost no newly built buildings. Most of them few buildings we have were built in the 1800s when the school was founded.
Athletic center? Shaws gym is smaller than a high school gym. Students aren't allowed to use the workout room. Its strictly for athletes. We don't even have a football field..
Overall Experience:
its iight.. it truly is what you make it. you can either spend 4 years complaining about shaw or 4 years finding whats there is to be happy about when it comes to shaw..
