Although the Shelbyville School District is in deficit spending, the amount of deficit is better than predicted.
That is the report from the mid-term budget by Superintendent Denise Bence at Thursday evening's school board meeting.
"We projecting $370,500 in deficit spending this year, but that money is being spent out of our reserves," Bence said. "We have a deficit every year in the education fund and we're looking to lessen that. We will do gradual cuts over the next two to three years. We will need to make cuts to allow for salary increases."
Bence noted that two years ago five staff members retired and were not replaced. Their duties were absorbed by other staff members. Last year two staff members and one administrator retired and were not replaced, saving the district $220,000. The district is also using two half-time staff, which lowers benefits costs, and is also looking at sharing resources with other school districts.
The deficits are a result of recent reductions in state aid from the State of Illinois. Currently the General Assembly is giving 89 percent of the promised state aid. Last year it was 85 percent of the promised amount.
Bence said that during a meeting with superintendents, Illinois State Board of Education director Christopher Koch said that he did not foresee further reduction at this time due to the election year.
In other business, Bence told the board that four snow days have been used so far this year and that the last day of school will be May 29. High school graduation was recommended for Saturday, May 31, which would still be effective even if additional snow days pushed the last day of school to June 2. The board approved the date.
As a result of executive session the following actions were taken:
- Accepted the resignation of Michelle Petska as High School assistant softball coach
- Approved Mike Holland and High School assistant softball coach; Tyler Pierce and Levi Pruemer as volunteer assistants High School track; Tad Mayhall as volunteer assistant High School baseball; and Michelle Petska and volunteer assistant High School softball.

She has been moved more than a dozen times in foster care, but 15-year-old Traci says she has so much to look forward to in the next year. Like turning 16, and finding a forever family on this week's Wednesday's Child.
Traci has a mega watt smile. She says she was nervous at first about Wednesday's Child but when she relaxed she talked openly about her hopes and plans for the future.
"I want to be a veterinarian. And do you want to specialize in small animals, big animals, or all animals? All animals. I really love animals. My life is about animals," said Traci.
Traci loves animals so much she says she nursed an injured fox back to health.
"This one, it's like he trusted me. It's like he sensed that I liked animals and he let me help him," Traci said.
Traci is affectionate, usually happy, enjoys laughing and has a great sense of humor.
"I'm always happy. And every time, if I'm around somebody who's upset, I can make them, I can cheer them up," said Traci.
Being in foster care has not been easy for Traci.
"I have moved about 15 or 16 times in the last five years. I want to get adopted that way I won't have to move around. Cause it's hard changing schools and then changing friends. You never really get to have a lot of friends," Traci said.
Traci wants parents who are caring and supportive.
"Just loving, love animals, just a nice place, like a nice environment. That's it, that's all I'm asking for," said Traci.
Traci is planning a big Sweet 16 birthday party; she also hopes it will be a family celebration.

We have cruised before and from the moment we stepped on the boat we believed it was a training boat and the staff had not had any customer service experience. We met some amazing staff which we could count on 2 hands and we rewarded them greatly. We waited for them, asked for them, and even followed them and at wherever we needed to sit in the Magenta and Grand Pacific just so we could guarantee better service.
Jonathan in the Magenta, Dheerhaj in Grand Pacific, Christina - Floating waitress on the deck with the pool, and Rolly statesman on 9th floor were amazing. Guest services - not so much.
if you are getting off in Great stirrup bay be the first get a ticket to get on the tender. it took us 3 hours to get off. They had 2 boats for over 3,000 people on the boat and it was disastrous.
Also our room smelled like the sewer and we were offered a bottle of wine and were moved to the room under the laundry room clearly a downgrade but if you have ever wondered what it sounds like to dry dining room chairs let me know.
Unfortunately this is our first trip on norwegian back to Royal Carribean we go.
So find the good service on the boat and stick with it.

A $5 billion foundation that has spent tens of millions of dollars promoting the catch share commodification of New England's and other U.S. fisheries has chosen a firm with close ties to NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco to evaluate the nation's newest catch share programs.
The commission is to study the effect of the privatization of the New England groundfishery and the Pacific trawl fishery.
In choosing MRAG Americas Inc. to study both the New England program that began in 2010 and the Pacific trawl program that began this year, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation selected a firm headed by Andrew Rosenberg, a Gloucester resident.
A former NOAA Northeast regional administrator out of Gloucester, Rosenberg got his master's degree at Oregon State University while Lubchenco was a faculty luminary and he lists Lubchenco as a reference on his portfolio.
Fishing interests denounced the selection of MRAG Americas as incapable of producing disinterested research on the catch share programs, both of which are hotly disputed and divisive.
But Bob Trumble, MRAG Americas' vice president, said the company had established a record of "objective and scientifically based work."
He said Rosenberg was overseas and unreachable.
Jim Hutchinson, managing director of the Recreational Fishing Alliance, described the Moore Foundation's choice of MRAG Americas to study catch shares as "Astro-Turfing at its best — the D.C. double dip where a firm with direct ties to a government agency is paid to do a study, which promotes a movement that creates more work and increases the firm's net income."
"What good would (the study) be? It's biased," said Tina Jackson, president of the American Alliance of Fishermen and Their Communities. She has been engaged in a bitter struggle with catch share advocates that has recently produced a schism within the New England and national fishing communities.
The MRAG contract calls for evaluating catch shares' five-year effect on fisheries — even though New England fishermen are jus six months into their second year of the format, and the Pacific trawl fishery has just debuted.
Records show that MRAG Americas has received more than $15 million from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for multiple contracts over the years, and is providing at-sea monitors for boats in sectors or business cooperatives granted catch shares and entree to commodification trading since the system began in New England in May 2010.
An influential marine scientist who had been NOAA's Northeast regional administrator through 1999 before entering academia at University of New Hampshire and private business with MRAG Americas and Conservation International, Rosenberg studied oceanography at Oregon State University where Lubchenco was on the faculty.
In 2005, Rosenberg taught a graduate course with Lubchenco, her brother-in-law Steve Gaines, and David Festa, then the ocean policies director at Environmental Defense Fund.
EDF began a lengthy campaign that year to convince the government to adopt catch share commodification as its fisheries policy.
"The most important element of our strategy," EDF wrote in a 2005 paper described as a funding solicitation, "is to work the regulatory process from the inside, making aggressive use of our hard-won seat on the New England Fishery Management Council."
In addition, the paper — leaked to the Times in 2009 — said that, while working the council process in New England, EDF was empowered by "a strong presence in Washington, D.C." in the person of Festa, who had been policy director to two Commerce secretaries. Festa would bring "top-down support."
The campaign reached a climax with the appointment of Lubchenco, who had been an officer on the board of EDF and had helped promote catch shares by co-writing with Gaines and other like-minded scientists and former politicians a policy paper, "Oceans of Abundance." That paper declared that, unless catch shares were adopted globally, fishermen would denude the oceans — except for jellyfish. The claim has been widely refuted in independent scientific and fishing circles.
But in 2010, EDF commissioned MRAG Americas to write its catch share manual.
The Moore Foundation, based in the San Francisco Bay area, was begun 11 years ago by the family that started and controls Intel Corp.
According to fisheries researcher and consultant Nils Stople, Moore has put more than $100 million into grants to study and alter fisheries policy.
EDF has received more than $30 million in grants including more than $20 million from the Walton (Wal-Mart) Foundation, leading the campaign to convince the Obama administration to privatize the nation's fisheries.

Continuing up the road from the sport climbing area, is a �100m high monolithic cliff that provides a good setting for traditional (gear-protected) climbing. Its attributes include: lack of crowding, good access, interesting and solid rock, generally good protection, and that very rare commodity: high quality climbs at moderate difficulty levels. This is the perfect spot for a beginning climber to learn multi-pitch technique, with plenty of exposure to motivate mastering the art of placing protection. These are the "El Rito Trad" cliffs.� (text copied from Gary Clark's online guide: www.lamountaineers.org/Elrito/trad.pdf )
Getting There
Use a road map to find the town of El Rito. Turn north on Forest Road 44 (dirt) on the east edge of town (Note: USGS maps label this road �100�, but you won�t find any signs with that label). At the intersection for road 248 stay to the right (the sign for 248 was in the middle of the fork and unclear which road was 248 and which was FR 44). Continue on FR44, you will pass spur road 44A on the left. After 4.4 miles from the pavement (about .6 miles beyond 44A and the sport area), drop down to the left on FR 44B, which may be unmarked.

A judge on Tuesday in Butler County Common Pleas Court sentenced a former Oxford school administrator to seven years in prison in connection with sexually oriented material involving minors.
Alfred Allen, 60, of Fairfield Township, will receive credit for time already served and must register as level 2 sex offender.
Allen was the director of the McGuffey Montessori School. He was suspected of misusing the school's debit/credit card back in May. An investigation into the allegation resulted in theft charges.
In the course of the theft investigation, police say they found evidence of child pornography. Allen was taken into custody in September for 20 felony counts related to child pornography.
The school terminated Allen last May. The school said that Allen was fired because of his failure to perform the duties of head of school. The school also said it was not aware of any criminal activity at the time.

---- — Playing on teams and participating in sports remains a big draw for young people — boys and girls. That's one constant.
Noticeably different is that when games are no longer fun, young people are just as likely to hang up their cleats and walk away. Some don't even make it to their teenage years before quitting sports.
Those who investigate participation in youth sports agree on that much. Pinpointing a reason why young people fall in and out of love with sports is not as simple. There are probably many reasons.
The good news is more boys and girls are getting involved in athletic competition. Ronald B. Woods, author of the book, "Social Issues in Sports," said overall participation has reached an all-time high. What's alarming, said Woods, is that drop-out levels are increasing, as well.
Popular high school teams — such as basketball, soccer, baseball and football — have seen declines in members in many places. By contrast, the number of female athletes has climbed dramatically since the passage of Title IX, which mandated more opportunities for girls. Dancing, cheerleading, swimming, volleyball and soccer are extremely popular among girls and young women.
Cultural and socioeconomic issues may explain why some young people are backing away from sports.
Increases in concussions and other sports injuries — which have been highly publicized — could also be a reason why some parents advise their children to quit sports where hard-hitting play and collisions are part of the action.
Soccer, a game equally popular among boys and girls, has enjoyed a tremendous a growth spurt in the past decade or more. But it also involves serious injuries, especially concussions and ligament damage.
Many young people say they leave sports because it's no longer fun, they don't want to put in the extra time to be highly competitive, or they've found more enjoyable things to do. Cost is also a consideration.
In recent years, players have been encouraged to specialize in a sport so they can compete — and win — at the highest levels. That leads some to reject what they perceive as an overemphasis on winning and the stress of pleasing coaches and parents.
Woods noted in his research that boys and girls try out for teams at young ages, sometimes even before kindergarten. Top players join travel teams and participate in special leagues and tournaments throughout the year.
The changes related to that are dramatic. A Little League player may have been in 15 games during a summer season only 10 years ago. That number can easily reach 75 to 100 now for ballplayers willing to travel.
Interestingly, the number of girls and boys participating in Little League baseball has declined in recent years. Some coaches complain the defections could be tied to the growing popularity of travel teams.
Then there's a new phenomenon — a fascination with social media, digital games and technology — proving to be a popular draw on teens' attention. Staying connected is just as appealing to some as being competitive.
While high-profile sports are losing favor among some students, they are being replaced by other athletic activities. Boys are weight training, mountain biking, skateboarding and playing Ultimate Frisbee in growing numbers. Inline skating, lacrosse, bowling, camping and hiking are attracting new followers among girls.
That may represent a big change from the options their parents had as adolescents, but those who study such trends say the good news is that those activities keep young people from developing couch-potato habits.
What's significant with youth sports today is that more kids than ever are participating — even if many are choosing to play different games and picking new activities, some of which aren't team-oriented.
For many, sports are about competition and winning. For others, it's about the joy of the experience.
Either way, that should be celebrated and encouraged.

I saw this idea a few times on the Martha Stewart site and I would really like to make these as stocking stuffers this Christmas. It seems like such an easy thing to do and would really take no longer than baking a cake. I have some lovely old jars that I could place these in too which would really make it a lovely gift for someone.
Baking soda
Citric acid
Spritzer bottles
Food coloring
Glass bowl
Essential oil
Baking molds
1. Sift 1 3/4 cup baking soda, 1 cup citric acid, and 2 cups cornstarch through a sieve to remove chunks. To make different tints, fill small spritzer bottles with water and add about 6 drops of food coloring to each.
2. Pour 1 cup of powdered mixture into a glass bowl. Lightly spritz, stirring after each spritz, until powder is desired color. Add water slowly, so mixture does not fizz. If mixing two tints, alternate colors as you spritz. Check the consistency of powder with your fingers; when it can be tightly packed or shaped, stop spritzing (this may take a little while).
3. Select an essential oil. Add 5 drops if it's one of the stronger scents (peppermint, lavender), 6 if it's a weaker one (lemon, grapefruit). Mix well. Firmly pack mixture into small baking molds. We used 1/4 cup for each fizzy, which is good for one bath. Allow mixture to set for 2 hours, then pop out carefully. Repeat with different tints for remaining powder.
If you wanted to have a different shape, you simply just need to use a different mold, like ice-cube molds.
This would give you a different way of being able to package them, like putting them in jars.

Key Fob French Style
Living in France means that I get to find all kinds of lovely old objects. Old keys seem to be everywhere here and I've never really known what to do with them until now. Photocopying them seemed to work well and from this, you can use the image to découpage just about anything.
Materials Needed:
- old bits of wood (the more weathered, the better) - saw - PVA glue (Hodge Podge) - scissors- drill- string or ribbon- brass eyelets (optional) - printed images of old keys (see templates below) - varnish
1. Print off your key images in black and white. (sepia would look good too) and cut them out carefully.
2. Cut your key fobs from your old wood whichever size you want. Mine are 10cms x 6cms. I've cut mine with a point at one end but you could just cut rectangles.
3. Drill a small hole at one end for your string or ribbon to fit through. I have added brass eyelets but this is not strictly necessary.
4. Glue your key images onto your key fobs and leave to dry.
5. Varnish with at least 2 layers of varnish, 3 is better.
That's it! You're done! Now you have some great unique gifts.
Print these off if you don't have your own old keys to photocopy.

Twig Heart
I loved making this. It was super quick and the end result was just lovely. I've made a few of these and given them as gifts which have delighted friends and family. They look lovely hanging from a door or standing on a shelf.
Materials Needed:
* dogwood or hazel twigs
* new shoots
* florist wire
* secateurs
* raphia
Cut your twigs and try to use them soon after you cut them as they will be more supple that way and less likely to break. Dependent on how large you wish your heart to be, cut 10 equal lengths of your twigs.
1. Take 5 of the twigs and bend them into a U-shape, taking care they do not break. Do the same with the other 5 twigs.
2. Hold the 2 bunches of twigs perpendicular to create a heart shape. Attach the areas where the twigs cross over with the florist wire.
3. Close up the heart at the bottom with the florist wire. Once the heart is well formed, you can re-inforce the different points with more wire.
4. Add the young shoots to the heart to bulk it out and attach with the wire in the same areas as before.
5. To finish, hide the wire with raphia so that it is completely covered.
Have fun!

Women's Olympic Beach Volleyball Pairings Set
Athens, Greece, August 20, 2004 - Beach Volleyball fans around the world will be watching two women's Athens 2004 Olympic Games matches with interest here Friday as two of the top six-seeded teams face a challenge in the first-round of elimination play.
The second of two opening women's matches will draw the most attention as one of the Olympic gold medallists from the Sydney 2000 Games will be eliminated Friday when Australians Natalie Cook and Kerri Pottharst face each other at 3:30 p.m. with different partners.
Pottharst and Summer Lochowicz advanced from pool play with three wins and a sixth-seed in the Round of 16. Cook and Nicole Sanderson were upset in pool play and lost their fifth-seed to drop into a draw for their elimination bracket spot. The winner will play either a team from Germany or Italy in the quarterfinals Sunday with the loser placing ninth.
Like Cook and Sanderson, Ana Paula Connelly and Sandra Pires lost their third-seed in the competition by losing Thursday to Suzanne Lahme and Danja Musch of Germany. The "luck" of the draw saw the Brazilians drop into the bottom quarter of the bracket where they play Vasso Karadassiou and Efi Sfyri of Greece at 10 p.m. Friday.
To make things more difficult for Ana Paula and Pires is the potential match up in the quarterfinals against Brazilian rivals Adriana Behar and Shelda Bede. That is if Ana Paula and Pires can beat the Greeks while Adriana and Shelda eliminate the Yanchulova sisters (Lina and Petia) from Bulgaria.
In addition to Adriana and Shelda, the only other top-ranked teams to protect their seed were the American tandems of Misty May/Kerri Walsh (No. 1) and Holly McPeak/Elaine Youngs (No. 4). Stephanie Pohl and Okka Rau used their win over Cook and Sanderson to net the fifth-seed where they also face Vasiliki Arvaniti and Efthalia Koutroumanidou of Greece.
Arvaniti and Koutroumanidou earned the last spot in the the Round of 16 by defeating Nila-Ann Hakedal and Ingrid Tolen 21-11, 21-23 and 15-12 in the final pool play match of the preliminary schedule before more than 9,000 fans at the Olympic Beach Volleyball Centre Thursday evening.
The women's semi-finals are set for Monday with the medal matches the next day as one of the 2000 Sydney winners will see their hopes for a third Olympic Beach Volleyball end Friday afternoon under the sun in Athens.

Jason Giambi has officially been granted a slot to interview for the Rockies' manager position. He was the landslide winner in The Denver Post's poll, but what would he actually bring to the table?
Jim Tracy and Bill Geivett, Rockies Director of Baseball Operations, met but made no decision on the manager's future. The two are expected to meet again Saturday.
Wednesday Rockpile: It's All Dick Monfort's Fault -- at least that's what he wants us to believe. Looking closer at an interview with the Rockies owner reveals some troubling details.
The Colorado Rockies still have 120-plus games left to play in a season gone horrible, but it remains to be seen whether general manager Dan O'Dowd and manager Jim Tracy will make it to the end.
Tuesday Rockpile: Breaking Down the Rockies' Issues Against Left-Handed Starters
Do the Rockies need a tactical coach to supplement the vast reservoir of Jim Tracy's managerial acumen?
Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd says that manager Jim Tracy will coach the 2012 team without a contract extension. So he says now.
Losing seasons bring a lot of extra ire to the manager of the club. My theory is that losing teams bring out the worst of bonehead decisions in managers.
Juan Nicasio walks (yay!), but is Jim Tracy in line for a contract EXTENSION this off-season?

Clayton County Chairman Jeff Turner told CBS Atlanta News that Sheriff Victor Hill asked county commissioners to pay off his legal debt.
"The Sheriff came to the county commissioners and made a simple request that we consider paying for his legal fees that were incurred the first time he was in office," said Turner.
In the November elections, Hill reclaimed the job he lost to Kem Kimbrough four years ago.
When Hill was first elected Sheriff in 2004, he put snipers on top of the Sheriff's office and fired several employees. They sued and won.
Now Hill wants taxpayers to foot the bill, which amounts to roughly $475,000.
"A judgment was awarded against him. He wants us to pay that judgment off for him," said Turner.
Turner said the county is currently paying Hill's $10,000 legal fees he incurred from March to May of this year. Hill hired attorneys to consult him on how to pay off that $475,000 personal debt from 2004.
"The amount of money the county is responsible and paying for at this time is legal fees that are accruing in his official capacity as Sheriff," said Turner.
Clayton County resident Alice Samuel voted for Hill in 2012, but she doesn't think she and other residents should pay Hill's bill.
"I really don't think the consumers, the people, should have to pay his bill," said Samuel.

The man who killed a Morgan County high school counselor while driving drunk will spend 30 years in prison.
Hugh Chandler was sentenced Tuesday. Several of Terry White's family members were in the courtroom for the hearing. Terry's father spoke to the judge, urging for a strong sentence.
Chandler drove through a red light on Beltline Road in Decatur in June 2011. The wreck, which happened around 10 a.m. on a Sunday morning, killed White, a counselor at Priceville Junior High.
After the sentencing, White's family shared their reaction to the 30-year sentence. Her father said while it won't bring his daughter back, the sentence gives them some comfort because Chandler, who had been arrested for DUI multiple times before, won't be on the road driving drunk anymore.
"You never really get over it, because Thursday would have been her 58th birthday. But knowing this guy won't be on the highway anymore drinking, perhaps kill somebody else, this could give us some type of closure. We will never be over this, but this will help," said Alton White.
When Hugh Chandler pleaded guilty to murder, he made what is called a 'blind plea,' meaning he has no right to appeal the sentence.

A cluttered e-mail inbox can be frustrating.
That's why two Virginia Tech graduates decided to create a new way to think about E-mail with 'MailPilot.'
"We were always complaining about e-mail and so one week we decided we were fed up with it and there had to be a better way," MailPilot co-founder, Alex Obenaeur says.
It's not just Alex Obenaeur and Josh Milas who believed their product of turning E-mail into a to-do-list where you can categorize everything that comes into your inbox, but more than 1,600 people backed the two young entrepreneurs on Kickstarter.
They generated more $54,000 dollars in 5 weeks from people across the globe. It's more than 150% beyond their goal.
"We started sitting down and talking about what could make E-mail better," MailPilot co-founder, Josh Milas says. "We didn't know there were so many people who were willing and ready to except the fact E-mail could be better."
You can get MailPilott on your I-pad and I-phone. So far, more than 10,000 people have downloaded it and the next step is to bring it to Mac desktops.
The App Store featured MailPilot on the front page and a New York Times writer called it 'ingenious.'
"I don't think we were prepared for the amount of success we saw so quickly," Obenaeur says. "We were incredibly excited and motivated by it."
Both tech-savvy guys say you can make your own Kickstarters more successful by creating buzz about your product before you try to raise money.
Though getting buzz isn't a problem for these two, some are already calling MailPilot 'E-mail of the Future.'
The app is available on the App Store for $14.99.

LAS VEGAS -- Employers in Nevada are getting ready to hire more people, according to a new survey by Manpower, an employment services company.
Around 100 local companies took part in the survey, 19 percent said they're planning on adding more employees between April and June. The survey also showed, employers are more confident than they were a year ago.
Technical services, call centers and construction show the most potential for future job growth.
The survey shows a net employment outlook of 14 percent compared to last year's 4 percent. The percentage is achieved by subtracting the percentage of employers expecting to decrease staff levels from the ones adding to their workforce.
One Las Vegas company is contributing to the number of jobs available in the technology industry. BMM Testlabs moved its company headquarters to Las Vegas last summer. The company tests gaming equipment and has been doing a lot of hiring.
"Business is growing leaps and bounds and as a result of that we're looking for qualified folks in the gaming technology sector," Chief Operating Officer Mike Dreitzer said.
BMM Testlabs is expecting to hire about100 new employees over the next two years. Currently their Las Vegas office employs 65 people. The new workers would help test slot machines and other gadgets that go in casinos all over the country.
Some medical providers say they often deal with Hispanic patients who are afraid to seek medical care. It's hoped the opening of a new medical clinic will change that.

11 months after authorities found more than one hundred dead horses in Burleigh and Morton County, the owner William Kiefer, is sentenced for the crimes. Kiefer did not appear in court for his sentencing, nor has he for any of the hearings scheduled in this case.
However, the Fargo man will be reporting to jail soon.
Judge Thomas Schneider sentenced Kiefer to 6 months in jail.
Kiefer previously pleaded guilty to nine counts of animal abuse, which are class A misdemeanor crimes.
Authorities found more than 100 dead horses on his property in Burleigh and Morton Counties in January 2013.
Morton County prosecutor, Gabrielle Goter says Kiefer continually has represented himself as a victim in this case.
"He was trying to save these animals, etc. However, he was actively engaged in buying those animals. It probably did get out of hand the problem is he was promoting it himself as opposed to people taking advantage of him," says Goter.
Kiefers' attorney says Kiefer got overwhelmed, he didn't intentionally neglect the animals. But Judge Thomas Schneider says Kiefer could have easily asked for help.
As part of the sentence Kiefer will not be able to own livestock for the two years he's on probation.
"We know then if he does not own or possess any livestock there will not be any other horse that is going to starve because of him," says Morton County Sheriff Dave Shipman.
He will also have to pay $1500 to the Humane Society or Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue - two agencies that stepped in to rescue the remaining horses, that were starving and in horrible condition. Some that couldn't be nursed back to health.
Goter says, "a lot of people were involved in the operation of removing the operation and caring for the ones in really poor shape. And Triple H bore the brunt of that."
This case happened before North Dakota lawmakers made changes to the state's animal cruelty law.
Goter says it's an example of why harsher penalties are needed for those who commit crimes against animals.
Kiefer has until January 9th to start his sentence, the Sheriff will decide if Kiefer will serve the time in jail or on electronic monitoring.

An Albany area motorcycle club makes it their mission to ensure a good Christmas for children in need. The Remaining Few Motorcycle Club members roared through Albany today on their annual toy run.
Hundreds of bikers revved their engines to help bring Christmas to families in need.
"I think some of them wouldn't have anything, we make a lot of their Christmas because of us," says Dale Hathcock, Remaining Few Motorcycle Club.
It is the 29th year the Remaining Few Motorcycle Club has put on their Motorcycle Toy Run.
"This is what is beautiful about moments like this, there are people who came in and signed up with us, that we know for sure, that if it were not for events like this, they would wake up on Christmas morning and there would be nothing," says Kelly English, Salvation Army Albany Corps Officer.
They left the Five Points Harvey's parking lot in East Albany and escorted a truckload of toys through downtown Albany to K-Mart.
"When folks come together and pitch in and help out, it takes a lot of stress off of us," says English.
The truck full of goods goes to the Salvation Army to help with the Toys for Tots drive. And everything that is donated stays right her in Southwest Georgia.
"That is why we have always done the salvation army, because we know everything will go local, and we want to help the community and that is what we try to do," says Hathcock.
Which helps people like the Walker family who lost everything in a house fire last month.
"It was pretty traumatic but the thing about it is, we are all together and we were all safe and unharmed, and we saw how close it was that we got out," says Troy Walker.
They were given donations and a platter for Christmas dinner.
"The love and support that is shown to people in need, people have suffered tragedies like we have, it is just a tremendous help, it is overwhelming," says Walker.
And overwhelming for the children who will now have a very Merry Christmas.
In addition to boxes full of toys, club members collect canned goods and donations for the Salvation Army.

We're a day away from Deadline Day, and the Hornets, who were previously reported to be "open" to various Eric Gordon trades, are looking even more active with him according to some sources.
The Times-Pic reports that New Orleans would love to get back Golden State's Klay Thompson in a trade, but that's not happening. Thompson's 22, already one of the league's elite shooters, and perhaps on the verge of growing into something a lot more. He's a clearly inferior player to Eric Gordon -- and it's easy to forget this given how rumors have swirled; Gordon's still just 24, a borderline All-Star scorer and elite perimeter defender when healthy. Unfortunately, it's unclear at this point whether that "when healthy" tag essentially torpedoes his potential going forward.
As I wrote last week, I just don't see a good move for Gordon coming available in the next two days. By all reports, teams seem incredibly wary of his health -- as they should be -- and are unwilling to offer significant pieces back.

Some great news coming out of the GM camp, folks! August has shown to be the best retail month of the year with reported sales of 240,520 vehicles. Compared to 2011, this accounts for a 10 percent increase over the same time period.
We'll here you have it folks! It's time for another Wallpaper Wednesday. The brand new 2013 Chevy Sonic RS is on her way to production, and we just can't wait! We're already stocking up on tires for this red devil. Don't judge us. Download our latest wallpaper at the downloads page and enjoy!
The final round of Street League in Newark, New Jersey, was a culmination of perseverance from Paul Rodriguez, and Nyjah Huston's hunger to regain the title back from 2011 Champion, Sean Malto. As the quality of skating escalated, Malto was unable to fend off the competition, was knocked out and would finish 3rd overall. Once again, the competition was stepped up in the Best Trick Section, where Rodriquez blew away the judges with a Nollie Crooked Grind to Late Front Foot Flip out, extending his lead into the Big Section.
The all-new performance-inspired 2013 Chevrolet Sonic RS has been raising eyebrows in the subcompact scene— and definitely shaking things up nearing its production date set for this October. The Sonic RS 5-door will be available with a six-speed manual transmission beginning at $20,995, as well as a six-speed automatic starting at $22,280. GM showcases a nice walkthrough in their videos and grants us a closer look at the latest performance-bred Sonic RS we've been waiting for.
Matt Hardigree of Jalopnik had some choice words about the "launching" of the Chevy Sonic back in October of last year. This caught the attention of a Chevy PR representative and without letting this go unsettled, Matt was challenged to a race against Chevy Sonic in a Hyundai Accent. To back the bowtie team in this battle, lead development engineer of the Sonic, John Buttermore, would be piloting the Sonic RS against Hardigree.
That would look sick!
I would convert mine from 5 to 4 in a heartbeat
I'm sure it would be overkill to put in one's car though.
That would be awesome to find out! Haven't seen anything yet though
I've seen this wing on here before, if this helps
This link sends me to a pointless article...
Just an FYI.
Bro I just pulled it into the driveway with it! I had the same problem that's why I had to order it direct from the factory it took about six weeks but IT'S HERE! Now if i could only figure out how to put the photos on the thread from my computer and not a URL...
Today's the day! Have you picked it up yet? I've not seen a single turbo model at any of the dealers near me.
Hey Grin,
I think the "On Topic" forum is more like a "General Discussion" forum you'd find on almost every other community. It's for things that are on-topic for discussion that relate to the Chevy Sonic commnuity, but not necessarily something that belongs into a specific category. Just my thoughts about it.
I wish I had the screen for watching NASCAR!! That's pretty sick!
Nuts. Would've loved to have seen this in person.
LOL. Candidate for .gif of the year. Like "Car of the Year," this is .gif of the year, GOTY. The GOTY Awards.
lol nice find.
I mean, I think hes excited to get it on his tacos.
That was pretty AWESOME!!

MORROW — A man was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly kidnapped his girlfriend.
According to Clayton County Police, Jamon Martel Lee dragged his then live-in girlfriend, Nabreshia Mikell, 18 feet from an apartment at 6001 Trammell Road in Morrow.
The incident took place Oct. 17, in front of two toddlers, according to the police.
Police officer J.K. Nicholson Sr., said Lee intentionally and knowingly allowed a 1-year-old and a 4-year-old to watch him drag their mother, Mikell, on the ground and through their home. Nicholson said the toddlers were awake and crying during the incident. The officer added he saw Mikell's peeled skin as a result of being dragged.
"Said defendant did without lawful authority, steal away Mikell by grabbing her by the right wrist and drug her approximately 18 feet on the ground through their family residence from the children's bedroom and down the hallway against her will ," according to the arrest warrant. "Mikell was able to break free from the accused grip, after which she ran down the street and called 911."
Lee, 19, is charged with two counts of kidnapping, two counts of cruelty to children and battery.

It is now four consecutive years in which Rihanna has released a new album in November. No other major pop artist today can match her productivity. Even more phenomenal is that musical quality has not suffered. In fact, Rihanna continues to improve. On last year's Talk That Talk she consolidated her sound to something breezy and distinctly her own. Now, as would be expected, she keeps one foot in the signature sound while stretching in new directions. This is another solid effort that just may be her first #1 chart album.
Musical Depth With a Lean To R&B
Unlike many pop artists who seem to burn out and drown in so much repetition of their signature sound that it begins to sound like self parody, Rihanna exhibits growth and change with each of her albums. On Unapologetic the overall production and sound is richer and deeper than on Talk That Talk. She digs further into R&B resulting in the instantly controversial Chris Brown duet "Nobody's Business." The song borrows the "Ain't nobody's business but mine and my baby" line from Michael Jackson's classic "The Way You Make Me Feel" and a glossy late 70s R&B production more familiar to fans of Michael Jackson's Off the Wall. "Loveeeeeee Song" featuring Haitian-American artist Future also mines a deep soul groove. Arguably the album's musical centerpiece is "Jump" which slams Ginuwine's R&B classic "Pony" into contemporary dub step mixing.
Separating Rihanna the Artist From Rihanna the Celebrity
Perhaps the most difficult element of Unapologetic for many listeners will be setting aside opinions about the personal life of Rihanna the artist from the music here on the album. The album's title addresses that point. She is clearly unapologetic for what many consider missteps and poor judgment. There are those who even believe her hectic release schedule is a misstep. However, a fair listen to the music here dismisses that argument. Listen to the bracing David Guetta collaboration "Right Now" and try to make a coherent argument that this song should not be released...um...right now. Rihanna's most clear statement on this subject resides in "Half Of Me," a song only included in the deluxe version and co-written by Adele. "Oh you know me everybody knows that I'm crazy, Sticks and stones they never break me, And I'm the type that don't give a f**k."
Top Tracks On 'Unapologetic'
- "Jump"
- "Right Now" featuring David Guetta
- "Nobody's Business" featuring Chris Brown
- "No Love Allowed"
Rihanna Rolls Along With One Of the Most Successful Pop Careers Ever
Rihanna is undisputably one of the most commercially successful pop music artists the world has ever seen. The primary key to that success is her willingness to grow and change with every release. There are songs here that sound like extras or experiments that didn't completely pan out like the opening blast of "Phresh Out the Runway" that quickly annoys, or the closing "Lost In Paradise" that sounds rather dull after all that came before and illustrates how Rihanna still has weaknesses if she tries to tackle big gospel-tinged ballads. However, in between, there is a lot of music that is as good or better than the majority of what is heard on the radio today. Musically, Rihanna has no reason here to be apologetic.

If you could throw a label on this fight, it would probably be called "second chances". Maybe even "third chances" in reference to one of the combatants. One man has battled opponents in and out of the cage for many years. The other is looking to take advantage of a late-replacement spot in the big time. Chris Leben (22-8, 12-7 UFC) faces off with Derek Brunson (9-2, 0-0 UFC).
Leben is currently sitting in the twenty at middleweight on the Bloody Elbow Meta-Rankings despite his lengthy layoff, while Brunson is unranked. I doubt either of them are going to climb the ladder much with a win. This middleweight UFC 155 fight will be the first fight of the main card, and will be shown pay-per-view. The PPV begins at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
How do these two stack up?
Leben: 32 years old | 5'11" | 70.5" reach
Brunson: 28 years old | 6'1" | 76" reach
What have these two done recently?
Leben: L - Mark Munoz (TKO) | W - Wanderlei Silva (KO) | L - Brian Stann (TKO)
Brunson: L - Ronaldo Souza (KO) | L - Kendall Grove (SD) | W - Nate James (UD)
How did these two get here?
Chris "The Crippler" Leben's path to this bout is long and winding. The TUF 1 contestant has made no bones of the fact that he has battled drugs and alcohol for many years, and is coming off his second UFC suspension. He is apparently clean and sober now, and will look to erase the memory of his loss to Mark Munoz in November 2011.
Derek Brunson was once one of Strikeforce's brightest prospects, but it all went downhill quickly. SF lent him out to fight Kendall Grove on the regional circuit, and he dropped a debatable decision (the first loss of his career). He was given a chance to redeem himself against Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza, but got knocked out in just 41 seconds. A possible TUF stint was blocked by Showtime, but Strikeforce's death has given him a shot in the UFC anyway. He badly needs a win here to gain back some career momentum.
Why should you care?
When was the last time you saw a boring Chris Leben fight?

Essex Fire Service: Drivers "use common sense" during floods
Updated 9:41am Sunday 2nd February 2014 in Echo News By Helen Barnett
ESSEX Fire and Rescue is this morning reminding drivers to "use common sense" when confronted with flood water, after having to rescue a number of stranded vehicles yesterday.
Five vehicles had to be rescued from flooded roads yesterday as drivers chanced travelling through deep water.
The incidents, in the middle and north of the county, have led the fire service to remind drivers that just two feet of water is enough to float a car and six inches of water will reach the bottom of most cars.
The depth can cause loss of control or possible stalling as water is sucked into the exhaust or washes into the air intake.
A spokesperson said: "It is vital that motorists exercise a little common sense. We are experiencing one of the wettest months on record and over the last six weeks we have been called to dozens of incidents in which people have driven into flood water.
"Just driving into water and hoping for the best is not an option, by the time you find out the water is too deep you are already trapped.
"When confronted with flood water the best thing to do is to find an alternative route. If there is no way round they should park safely and get out to check the depth of the water before they drive into it."

HEMPHILL, Texas -- Tim Kopra took the stage at a memorial ceremony to honor his fellow astronauts. Ten years ago, he watched hopelessly as their spacecraft exploded over Texas.
"I was watching some TV screens, and blue sky and we [saw] some streaks," Kopra said. "We all knew [Space Shuttle] Columbia was due home, and then our worst fears were confirmed in minutes."
He knew three of the astronauts personally.
"We know it's a hazardous business, but it really brings it home when people you know and love perish as a consequence," Kopra said.
He said 10 years later, they all learned valuable lessons from that fateful day. On that day in 2003, the seven astronauts weren't told there might be problems with the shuttle, so they entered not knowing the danger.
"If this sort of thing were to happen again, I think we would inform the crew and work towards a resolution as best we can," he said.
Kopra said what surprised them the most was that the remains of all seven astronauts were found, and 40 percent of the shuttle was recovered. Thousands of people from across the country painstakingly searched through rough terrain and weather.
If anything should be taken from the tragedy, according to Kopra, it is that the astronauts died with honor.
"They gave their lives for their country. There were multiple countries represented," he said. "Their sacrifice was not in vain."
