Tagaytay city, Philippines
By Erik de Castro
I woke at dawn to the sound of a bell ringing and Gregorian Chant music at the Saint Augustine Minor Seminary compound on Mindoro island in the central Philippines. It was still dark as dozens of seminarians in the first phase of a 12-year journey to priesthood walked towards a chapel for their morning prayers and a mass.
I walked to the same chapel 41 years ago and left after more than two years in the seminary.
As I walked with them in the chilly air, I felt the seminary's sprawling compound was so big now compared to the time I was there. Since 1962 when the seminary opened, there have been 1200 seminarians who have passed through, according to Father Andy Lubi. So far it has produced 72 priests, some who have already left for a variety of reasons. From the 100 recruited during an annual vocation campaign, 12 is the average number of candidates that enter the seminary per year.
Renz Hernandez at the Saint Augustine Major Seminary in Tagaytay city has at least one more year to become a deacon in preparation for ordination as a priest. From a batch of 31 seminarians 12 years ago, he is the only one left. This is a common number for those entering the priesthood and some batches don't even produce any priests.
A seminarian leaving the seminary after six years produced a video as part of his class presentation, comparing priesthood to endangered and extinct plants and animals. According to his video, among the reasons behind the priesthood decline are church scandals and priests' abuses.

Florida Hurricane Damage Spurs Interest
in Storm-Protection Products
Arizona Cracks Down on Unlicensed
Safety Inspections Turn Ugly in Pacific
Homeowners Associations Struggle To Cope
With Developers' Legacy
Private Firms Allowed To Conduct Houston
Smart Wall Could Reduce Construction
The consequences of last fall's severe hurricane season have
been well-documented — extensive home damage, a massive
rebuilding project, and a shortage of labor and materials that
has impeded the rebuilding process. But at least one industry
is reaping the benefits of the bad weather: Weatherproofing
companies report a huge surge of interest in damage-protection
products for the home.
According to a recent story in the Tampa (Fla.)
Tribune, weatherproofing manufacturers are launching a wide
array of new products, including windows and garage doors
designed to resist the impact of wind-driven debris during
severe storms, metal roofs, and flood vents and safe rooms. In
some places, the insurance industry is helping to drive the
market, with companies such as State Farm Insurance offering
discounts for storm-protection products in as many as 21
states. (In a bizarre twist, we could find no insurance company
writing policies in Florida that currently offers such
Asphalt shingle roofs fared poorly in
the storms that blew across Florida last fall (above). By
contrast, metal roofs performed well, keeping drenching rains
out of the structures underneath, as this beachfront home
illustrates (left). As a result, roofers in Florida are
reporting increased interest in metal roofs, including types
that imitate roof tiles (below).
The interest in storm-protection products extends to
developments and builders as well. Frank McKinney, president of
SolarShield, a Tampa-based metal roofing company, says that
since the storms, his company installed metal roofs in a
development that previously resisted such products.
"The homeowners association had allowed only tile and shingle
roofs, but those tiles and shingles became projectiles that hit
the next roof and blew it apart," he says. "What you saw was
basically a chain reaction. Last year I couldn't put a metal
roof [in that type of development]. But now people are looking
for an alternative."
McKinney says his company recently struck a deal with a local
Tampa builder, Mac-Built, to supply metal roofs for a series of
custom homes. The builder plans to use a high-end metal roofing
product that can mimic the appearance of barrel tile, wood
shakes, and other premium surfaces.
Still, despite the orders he is getting from custom builders,
McKinney sees the entry-level production-home market as a hard
one to crack. Storm or no storm, most buyers of homes in the
$100,000 to $500,000 range prefer to spend that extra $15,000
(the approximate cost of a metal roof) on upgrades in cabinets,
appliances, or floor coverings.
The biggest damage inflicted by Florida
hurricanes was from water penetration. Once the roof covering
failed, interiors were drenched — even in this four-story
condo, which was soaked all the way to the bottom floor (left).
Industrial-strength dryers were common sights after the storms
As for the upsurge in weatherproofing products, McKinney
thinks the ultimate protection solution is relatively simple:
"Shingles and tiles will come off in hurricane conditions
— it's not a matter of if, it's a question of when. And
when they do, even if they don't go through a hurricane-rated
window, they will usually break it. And when the roof comes
off, the rain ruins everything in the house. That's where most
of the cost of the damages comes from."
He finds that homes are, for the most part, impervious to wind
damage and flying debris if their windows are covered and they
have a wind-resistant roof covering. "And it doesn't have to be
a metal roof," he says. "There are other products out there
that can resist damage from winds of up to 140 miles per hour.
If the insurance companies gave home buyers an incentive to put
these things in up-front, you'd see the damage numbers that get
quoted for these storms go down by about 80 percent. But since
I'm mostly in the reroofing business, that probably wouldn't be
very good for me." — Charles Wardell
The report cost the former director of the Arizona Registrar
of Contractors, Michael Goldwater, his job after 12 years
serving under two different governors. His successor, Israel
Torres, blames the growing complaints on unlicensed
contractors, and has ordered his agency to hunt down and
eliminate them. "Unlicensed contractors became public-enemy
number one," says Torres. "We needed to become very proactive
in putting them out of business, and that's where we are
putting our energy."
His tactics have included a program of sweeps and stings.
Working with local police, the agency set up a series of
so-called "bait houses," then used tips from builders,
consumers, and others to contact and offer jobs to contractors
who were suspected of doing work without a license. When the
job offers were made, inspectors requested licenses.
The reform effort has also included changes in the licensing
process, Torres says. One problem was that corrupt contractors
were using rotating licenses to stay in business: A contractor
whose license got pulled would simply use the one he had with,
say, his Uncle Arthur's name on it. The license tracking
process has been changed to flag contractors who use such
While the effort has shown results, Torres thinks it could do
better. "We've caught between 50 and 60 unlicensed contractors,
but we have only 26 full-time inspectors out there," he says.
He has tried to discourage unlicensed contractors by
publicizing the program. For instance, he credits a recent
story in the Arizona Republic with getting the word out. "A
huge part of the program is about the media — the message
and visibility," he says. "It makes a difference when people
know we're doing this. I only wish we had the manpower to do
more operations." — C.W.
Despite low interest rates, rising prices have put
California real estate even further beyond the reach of most
buyers, according to a survey released in December by
the California Association of Realtors. The association's
quarterly Homebuyer Income Gap Index reports a growing rift
between household income and the cost of a home. At the end of
2004, buyers needed an annual income of $108,000 to afford a
median-priced single-family home of $462,000. The year before,
the median home price was $385,000 and the qualifying income
New York Governor George Pataki has vetoed legislation
to limit the use of plastic plumbing in larger homes and
commercial buildings, reports the Buffalo News.
Plumbers' unions had pushed the measure, citing a supposed
toxic threat from plastic pipes. Builders countered that the
plumbers were only trying to protect their vested interest in
the use of iron and copper pipes, which require more labor to
install. But environmental groups also backed the bill,
prompting a large majority of legislators to vote for it. In
vetoing the measure, Pataki called it "well-intentioned," but
said a plastic plumbing ban would conflict with the state's
newly streamlined building code and lead to enforcement
Cul-de-sacs have been a staple in new developments
since the 1950s. The practice of placing homes close
together and facing one another was supposed to encourage
people to interact with their neighbors, but it doesn't seem to
be working. According to a story in the Chicago Tribune,
cul-de-sac residents are just as socially isolated as other
suburbanites. In fact, the physical closeness apparently tends
to make them even more annoyed by their neighbors' noisy kids.
And because residents generally don't know each other, they are
more likely to complain to the homeowners association or the
police about problems than try to work things out among
themselves. Such troubles have already led planners in
Charlotte, N.C., to discourage cul-de-sacs, and other
communities are considering similar moves.
A Gratiot County, Mich., storm-drain project was
halted so that an endangered plant species could grow near the
project site, according to a story in the Grand Rapids
Press. Although American slough grass has never been seen in
the area, that didn't stop the state Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) from denying the project a permit.
County drain commissioner Brian Denman had to hire a biologist
and charge an assessment to nearby property owners. Denman
figured the inquiry would end up stalling the project by at
least four months. DEQ has told Denman that he might have to
relocate the drain.
"We're averaging one complaint a month from our members about
this," says BIA legal counsel Tim Ford. The BIA's position is
that inspectors need permission from the contractor to go on a
job site and conduct an inspection. Ford argues that the courts
have no statutory authority to issue warrants to WISHA
inspectors, even though the courts have been doing so, and that
WISHA's warrant applications have been so riddled with errors
— including wrong addresses and other false information
— that they wouldn't be legal under any
The BIA's suit cites an incident with Nathrop Construction in
Seattle. The BIA maintains that a WISHA inspector filed a
warrant application with false information to gain access to a
Nathrop job site after a worker was injured in a forklift
rollover. The case is currently under appeal before the state's
Board of Industrial Appeals in Seattle, which serves as a
precursor to a possible full-blown legal case in Washington's
circuit court system. No time frame has been set for a final
decision on the appeal. Several calls by JLC to WISHA president
Sharon McCann about this issue were not returned.
The BIA says it doesn't oppose safety inspections per se, just
those it sees as illegal. Ford maintains that there is a legal
remedy for WISHA if the agency wants its inspectors to have
warrant power. "WISHA needs to approach the state legislature
and have a provision written into state law if it wants its
inspectors to be able to get warrants for inspections," he
says. "We wouldn't have a problem with that. But what they're
doing now violates the constitutional rights of our members,
and we're going to continue to contest and protest inspections
that are done without explicit permission."
Meanwhile, relations have definitely become more acrimonious.
The BIA Web site currently features a downloadable "Keep Out"
poster that specifically targets WISHA inspectors. —
When the development is completed, responsibility for
maintaining these systems is turned over to a homeowners
Now a rash of lawsuits has charged developers with leaving
those associations with major financial shortfalls.
One current lawsuit involves Del Webb, one of the country's
largest builders of privately run adult communities. Residents
of the 10-year-old Sun City Roseville community in Sacramento,
Calif., say Del Webb stuck them with a defective water system
that will require either a huge hike in monthly fees or a major
hit to the association's cash reserves to fix. The residents
are suing Del Webb for the cost of repairs.
A similar case has been filed in Florida, where residents of
Villa Borghese in Delray Beach are suing Ansca Homes for $1.2
million. The residents claim they inherited a $280,000 debt,
along with a faulty irrigation system, when Ansca pulled out of
the development.
Ansca has also been sued by the Ponte Vecchio West homeowners
association in nearby Boynton Beach, for like reasons.
Industry analysts cite different reasons for such problems,
including the lack of state and federal laws regulating the
level of community funding and the competitive pressure that
can lead to developers setting low monthly or annual
assessments to attract buyers. — C.W
The privatization initiative, which went into effect at the
end of 2004, was devised by the deputy chief of staff for
neighborhoods and housing, John Walsh, under the guidance of
Mayor Bill White, to help alleviate red tape and the delays
caused by a surge of retirements among public inspectors.
The change has been backed by the Greater Houston Builders
Association. "About four years ago, we started this process
because the city wanted to increase the number of new homes
being built in Houston," explains Toy Wood, the association's
executive VP and CEO. "This was just one of many suggestions we
had for ways to bring builders back into the city, to speed up
the process and make it worth their while to build here."
According to Wood, the move to privatize inspections is part
of a growing trend.
"I haven't tracked it around the country, but I know Fort Worth
uses private inspectors, and there are other cities doing it as
well," she says. "And some of the smaller municipalities do it
because they either don't have the money or don't want to
retain someone on staff."
Private companies have also been allowed to perform
inspections in the considerable amount of unincorporated area
outside Houston's city limits.
The sole opposition to the privatization move came from local
trade unions. "We're not actually sure why they opposed it,
because it doesn't affect them in any way," says Wood. "We
think it was just because they are philosophically opposed to
The opposition was token, anyway: Wood says that the unions
registered a protest to let the city know they opposed
privatization, but took no further action. — C.W.
Rosen calls it "the home's engine," because it centralizes the
utilities that drive a house. He says that any home can be
designed to be CoreWall-compliant; it's just a matter of
arranging baths, kitchens, laundry rooms, and other wet areas
in such a way that you can drop the wall into place to complete
most of the house's plumbing and wiring. "It's a more efficient
way to build in that there's only one wall with systems in it,"
he says. In fact, he claims that the product can reduce the
total cost of a home by 15 percent because fewer pipes, wires,
and ducts need to be installed. "You don't need rough plumbers
or hvac guys," he says.
Even before CoreWall was unveiled last month at the NextGen
Demonstration home at the International Builders' Show in
Orlando, Fla., Rosen began receiving orders from production and
custom builders. The walls are custom-manufactured by a SIPs
manufacturer in Seattle, and can be shipped anywhere in the
U.S. given a four- to six-week lead time. For more information,

Conquest of the New World puts you in control of a native civilization or an expeditionary force from one of five European countries. Compete against other players in the hopes of establishing control of the New World during the sixteenth century. Not a game that simulates the actual discovery and colonization of the Americas, Conquest of the New World is generated at the beginning of each game and each New World (and game) is therefore unique.
Your job is to explore the New World, establish thriving colonies, produce and trade goods and eliminate your enemies or defend your claims from your opponents. Each player sets his own objectives for each game. For some players, winning the game may primarily involve finding lots of new landmarks in the New World and establishing many colonies.
The Deluxe Edition adds several new features to the game. Primarily it adds the option to create and play scenarios and customize the world. In addition, nations now have different bonuses, several special resources and discoveries have been added and you can form trade alliances with other nations.
Age requirements: ESRB Rating: EVERYONE with Animated Violence.
Minimum system requirements: Windows XP or Windows Vista, 1 GHz Processor (1.4 GHz recommended), 512MB RAM (1 GB recommended), 3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended), Mouse, Keyboard.
Minimum system requirements (Mac): OS X 10.6.8 or later. Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz+ Memory: 2GB of RAM Graphics: 64MB of video memory Recommended two-button mouse, or Apple mouse with Secondary Button / Secondary Click enabled.

I remember getting the original CotNW (yes the non-Deluxe version) for Christmas one year and had immense fun with the game. Until a few days ago I had no idea that CotNW was still being sold until I created my account on GoG and found this jewel whilst searching for old games (and it's the Deluxe Edition to!) Looks like I'll be spending my weekend either federating Native tribesread more or declaring my independence from the mother country again thanks to GoG!
If you own the regular edition and are not sure if you should go Deluxe, go Deluxe. One of the features of the D.E is that you can actually read the whole gazette now (thanks to the added arrow buttons and the kind pause until you finish reading), than you could if you had the regular edition. The Deluxe also comes with a scenario editor and if for any reason you need to, you can have the computer take over your turns.
The only minor issue I have is the the intro cinematic is not included. But again it's a minor issue. The rest of the game is great!

Paid over $50.00 when this game first came out, but worth every penny. So sweet not having to run a Virtual PC just to play this game anymore. I remember many sleepless nights, and a ticked off ex-wife playing this game! This game is a blast to play with a buddy, hotseat or 2 PCs.

I played this when it first came out and this was the first game that had me physically craving to play it. Couldn't function correctly during the day...all I could think about was playing this game. I was disappointed when they cancelled the followup game for it.
5.99 can't beat it.

Not a surprise. Bowker has been red-hot since his return to Triple-A, while Belt had a very good roadtrip to the offensive parks in the southern division.
Prospecting John Bowker(notes), SF, 1/O – The Giants have hit the second-fewest home runs in the league. Its first base position has produced a .785 OPS, ranking No. 22 in the league. Its left field spot has generated a .675 OPS, good for No. 26 in the league. Its right field has generated a .728 OPS (No. 24 in the league). You see where I'm going with this … At Triple-A Fresno, Bowker, who played at least five games for the Giants in '08 at each of the positions mentioned, is one of only two players still in the PCL with an OPS above 1.000 (1.033). He's also one of three players with 10-plus home runs and steals (13/10). Oh, and he's fourth in the league in walks (41) … and he's hit five home runs in his past seven games. A former third-round pick in '04, Bowker will turn 26 on July 8. Last season, he fared as well as you could expect in his 111-game rookie campaign with the Giants – .255 BA, .708 OPS, 10 HR. All of this is to say, I'm really not sure what the Giants are waiting for. His current production and age scream for another shot.

Batumi's relaxed atmosphere, diverse restaurants and vibrant nightlife, have transformed this city into Russia's summer holiday capital. A crossroads between Europe and Asia, luxury and opulence are plentiful here. If you prefer to commune with nature, you can go for a swim in the Black Sea or stroll through the Botanical Garden at Mtsvane Kontshiki. Architectural buffs may want to wander Old Batumi to admire the regal structures, and historians will most likely enjoy the Stalin museum for a complete view of Batumi's storied past.
The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 240 days before the cruise begins for guests receiving Concierge amenities, and 180 days before the cruise begins for all other guests. Guests receiving Concierge amenities will receive a 5% discount off of the prices shown below for Regent Choice tours.
A magnificent overview of Batumi, this excursion begins grandly by focusing on the city's revered botanical garden, one of the largest in the former Soviet Union.
Depart from the pier and drive directly to the nearby Batumi Botanical Garden, a flourishing wonderland of thousands of exotic species. Established in 1912, the garden sprawls atop a cliff on the aptly named Green Cape and is divided into numerous sections, each devoted to plants from a different region of the world. During your ninety-minute visit, you might see Himalayan firs, New Zealand flax, Chinese cherry trees and agaves indigenous to Mexico. It's an immensely enjoyable experience that sets the tone for the rest of day.
Continuing on, you'll make your way into Old Batumi, and drive along Primorsky (Russian for "maritime") Boulevard, stopping for photos before making your way back to the cruise ship pier.

Santa Monica Heart Walk by Kacie Torres - 10 months ago
"We made our "Team little Emma" shirts to wear to spread awareness since our daughter was born with a heart defect and needed to have heart surgery 12 hours old. We have used our shirts for 5 Heart Walks in the past year and we have loved wearing them.

Honda Civic Hybrid MPG-Real World Numbers
justsaayin Posts: 1My Civic hybrid mileage continues to be lower and lower. I bought it new. . . a 2009. The hybrid battery has been replaced 2x by about 55,000 mi. (Scary) I even get poor mileage on the 5 between L.A. and San Fran. Can't blame it on a jack rabbit take-off in that case. I need to keep this car after it's paid off and had liked it enough that I wanted to. . . Just the same, the crummy and crummier gas mileage is a real dud. I am curious as to how off the number "estimated gas mileage" can be in the judge's mind and still be acceptable.
andy176 Posts: 1Bought a used 2003 HCH last year. The battery had been replaced several years prior. The car gets 34 mpg in town. I wonder if this is a software problem and whether it can be fixed. Probably not. Also, the car rattles a lot, something in the passenger door. Besides the problems, I'm happy with the car. For the price it runs well.
7592601 Posts: 12006 Honda Civic Hybrid owner. I have had 5 shops check my car, including two different Honda dealers, all confirming my car is in great running shape with everything how it should. If I take it easy on my driving, I will manage to get 36 mpg. By easy I mean taking over a minute to accelerate to freeway speeds, not using the a/c, staying far enough back to not stop at lights, "gliding" when I do reach speed.
I am not he only one that is suffering from Honda's software update in 2010 and 2012 degrading how often the Civic Hybrid battery is used. There are hundreds of blogs of people with HCH not performing how advertised. Join me in holding Honda responsible by signing a petition o the White House website. alturl.com/as38m

I've had my 2014 Civic Hybrid for just over a month now. Two weeks of that time was a road trip to Canada. With the car very loaded down (my wife and I, a 3 year old, a 5 year old, and all our stuff) we got 45MPG on the way up and 45MPG also on the way back. We averaged 47MPG for the entire 1660 mile trip which I thought was excellent! I typically had 50MPG or better on mini trips while up there like a 150 mile drive to Ottawa. I had one 5 mile drive that I got 63MPG on. That's the best average gas mileage I've had in this car.
Here at home the mileage has been excellent! On my 18.6 mile drive to work, with some stop and go and lots of hills, and sometimes getting behind Amish buggies I get in the high 50s on my way to work and low to mid 50s on my drive home. I had 60MPG three times on my way to work so far and I've hit 58 and 59MPG many times. I've had as high as 56mpg on my drive home but typically get 52-55mpg, still better than I expected!
Anyone looking at a Prius should definitely check out the 2014 Civic Hybrid. Especially with the 2014 base model being so loaded with extra safety features and other nice things. You need to pay a lot more for some of those similar options in a Prius.
My wife and I totally love this car! It's a nice smooth quite ride and we love the look inside and out. The gas mileage has been much better than we expected and all the extras like the cameras, big 7" touch screen, proximity based keys, and safety features are icing on the cake!


text: Benedict Cumberbatch's Best Movies How Benedict Cumberbatch Makes Geek So Cool by Kelly Schwarze 10/18/13 35 Reactions 89 Shares Print 23 20 46 0 0 Could 2013 be the year of the Cumberbatch? Benedict, one of our favorite British geeks, graces the cover of next week's Time magazine international edition. After a Summer blockbuster and the return of Sherlock on its way, it seems that the actor has been a very busy man. While his popularity grew with his turn as the "sociopathic" detective Sherlock Holmes, we can't help but love him for the spotlight he's shining on the rest of geek pop culture. Take a look at how the actor makes geek so chic. Source: Time The Imitation Game What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The father of computer science, Alan Turing, will finally have his story told in The Imitation Game, which will star Benedict when it hits theaters in 2014. Computer science and Cumberbatch? Two of our favorite things. 1 / 7 The Fifth Estate What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In The Fifth Estate, Benedict fully embodies WikiLeaks editor in chief Julian Assange. His compelling performance does not take away from the issue at hand: is privacy possible in this increasingly digital world? 2 / 7 Star Trek What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It was the Benedict role geeks waited for — the villain in J.J. Abrams's Star Trek Into Darkness. He was a scary force against Chris Pine's Captain Kirk and proved he could take on the part of action star. Source: Paramount Pictures 3 / 7 Sherlock What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Does a mystery show get any better than BBC's Sherlock? True, with our devotion to anything written by Steven Moffat (pictured here with Benedict and Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith), we may be a bit biased; but, the effortless blend of technology, Sherlock's scientific experiments, and the detective's awkward wit make it well worth its rabid Internet fandom. Source: Getty 4 / 7 The Hobbit What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 As the voice of the dragon Smaug, in the next Tolkien big-screen incarnation The Hobbit, not only will we see Benedict return to his devlishly fun ways as a villain, but it's the theatrical reunion of his Sherlock counterpart Martin Freeman who plays the numero uno hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. Photo courtesy of Warner Bros. 6 / 7 Hawking What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In an early, but high-profile role, Benedict had audiences captivated with the sciences as Stephen Hawking in BBC biography, Hawking. His portrayal of the noted theoretical physicist earned him a BAFTA nomination for best actor. Source: BBC 6 / 7 Geek Sensibilities What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Along with Sherlock writer Steven Moffat and executive producer Sue Vertue, Benedict visited the New York City headquarters of Marvel Comics (we're jealous!) to record a podcast with Marvel writers on their favorite comics and fandom.

The West Coast rail fiasco: What happened
The Department for Transport (DfT), with Justine Greening as transport secretary, announced in August that it had awarded a new 13-year franchise for the West Coast line not to Sir Richard Branson's rail company Virgin Trains but to rival transport company FirstGroup.
But at the beginning of this month, Mr McLoughlin, who took over from Ms Greening in the early autumn Government reshuffle, pulled the plug on the West Coast bidding.
He laid the blame "fairly and squarely" on the DfT officials. Three DfT civil servants have been suspended.
The faults with the process were discovered as the DfT prepared to defend a legal challenge to the West Coast decision brought by Sir Richard who labelled the bidding process "insane".

Two people on a motorcycle were killed in a crash on SR-78 near the intersection of US-27 on Sunday afternoon.
According to Florida Highway Patrol, the Yamaha motorcycle carrying the two victims was traveling southbound on SR-78 approaching the intersection of US-26 when the driver of the motorcycle failed to brake and slammed into the back of another motorcycle driven by 73-year-old Gabriel Baldomero.
Because of the impact, Baldomero's motorcycle overturned onto its right side. Baldomero suffered minor injuries.
The Yamaha motorcycle carrying the two victims continued traveling south on SR-78, running through a stop sign at US-27 and into the path of a Hyundai Sonata.
The Yamaha struck the front right side of the Sonata, causing the two victims to be thrown from the motorcycle.
They were pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics with Glades County EMS.
The driver and passenger of the Sonata, 61-year-old Diana Marie Schiell and 61-year-old Wendell Carl Schiell, both suffered minor injuries.
The names of the deceased victims have not yet been released. The crash is still under investigation.

2013-14 Undergraduate Catalog
Marston Hall
Robert�Baah, Kathryn�Bartholomew, Michelle�Beauclair, Owen�Ewald, Katya�Nemtchinova, Eric�Vogt, Michael�Ziemann
French Faculty: Kathryn Bartholomew, Michelle Beauclair
French is one of the most widely studied and widely spoken second languages in the world. It is a primary language of communication in many European organizations, as well as in parts of Western Europe, North and West Africa, and the Caribbean.
European Studies: French
Upper-division courses leading to the European Studies major/French include Francophone literatures and cultures; composition and conversation; early and modern French literature; and French arts and cinema, among others. Tutorial programs, internships and independent studies options are also available.
Students seeking the major will take the required European Studies base courses in addition to 40 credits in French, 25 of which must be upper-division and 18 of which must be taught in French. Students have the opportunity to complete their study abroad requirement on SPU's study abroad programs: Paris Study Abroad program and European Quarter, or on an approved alternative program.
French & Francophone Studies
Over the past twenty five years the study of French has shifted from a focus on metropolitan France and toward the broader Francophone world: the nations, regions and people outside of mainland France who use French as their primary language or as a language for business, government or education. While the teaching of the fundamentals of the French language for communicative purposes remains a cornerstone of all lower-division French programs and while courses on French literature, film, civilization and culture are still necessary at the upper-division level, the study of French-speaking cultures worldwide has become essential in today's increasingly globalized world. As the result of territorial expansion into North America and the Caribbean in the 17th and 18th centuries and of colonisation in Africa and Asia in the 19th and 20th, the French language has maintained an importance beyond its use by the limited number of speakers within France itself.
Our elementary and intermediate French language courses include readings on both French and francophone literature and culture. More significantly, as a direct result of courses such as La France et le monde, which examines francophone North and West African cultures along with Indochina and includes a study of immigration and cultural diversity of France in alternate years, and Topics in Francophone Literature, which explores literature, culture and linguistic variation in North America, Haiti and other parts of the Caribbean, an increasing number of students have decided to pursue majors and minors in French, and often pursue French as a double major with such majors as global development studies, Christian ministry, nursing, business, history and communication. This major track is built around academic coursework necessary to graduate students of competence in the globalized twenty-first century and will ensure that students have a deeper knowledge of the history, geography, socio-political and religious traditions of francophone communities and the linguistic and analytical framework to appreciate and engage with them. Such a major will also appeal to students who wish to pursue work in international aid, development, ministry and education.
Admission to the Major or Minor
Applicants for a major or minor within the Department of Foreign Languages, Cultures, and Linguistics must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher in all college work applicable to the B.A. degree and a 2.5 GPA in 10 credits of coursework at SPU in Languages, Cultures, and Linguistics, and/or European or Latin American Studies. A student must complete the major or minor requirements in effect when the student is admitted to the major or minor.
French Program Requirements
For major/minor requirements, see links to the left.
