Turner County Sheriff's Deputies say a small theft ring may be behind a number of tractor thefts reported over the weekend.
Investigators say two large tractors and a 35 foot goose neck trailer were stolen from a residence on Saturday night on Live Oak Road in the eastern part of the county.
In a separate incident, a 16 foot trailer and a grill were also stolen at a residence in East Turner County.
On Sunday night, a Honda four wheeler was stolen at a residence in the western part of the county on Harmony Road.
Turner Sheriff Andy Hester says a number of thefts have been reported in the surrounding counties, and isn't sure why the crimes have moved into Turner County.
Clyde Kimkowski says the increased traffic that runs on the dirt road next to this farm has him worried about his tractors.
"We're fixin' to chain them up," he said. "I got some chains and locks and we'll put chains around the axles, you know, until we can get some gates built."
Last Saturday night, a 35 foot goose neck trailer was stolen right down the road from Kimkowski's house and was then used to steal an M-1085 Kubota Tractor and an M-7040 Kubota Tractor from another neighbor's house.
And the thought of losing expensive equipment is devastating. "I mean, it's paid for, you know?" said Kimkowski. "And you know, I don't have theft insurance. So we'd just be without, you know. And these people that are doin' this stuff, I can't tell you on camera what I think of them."
The thefts were valued at roughly $60,000 and could be linked to a few other incidents that occurred over the weekend, which investigators say may suggest a theft ring.
"Somebody at one point might have stolen a lawn mower or something of that nature, a four wheeler, and got comfortable with it. And with any crime, people get comfortable in thinking they can get away with it and just move up to something bigger," said Turner County Sheriff Andy Hester.
Investigators say the suspects could have taken the equipment over state lines and may have even arranged a drop off location before stealing anything.
"We've got a couple suspects, but we're trying to follow those leads through and eliminate who we can and follow who we can," said Investigator Chad Walker.
Deputies say they haven't seen thefts like this in Ashburn, but are reaching out to other agencies for help tracking down the activity.
"People that steal heavy equipment like that have to have a contact to move that type of stuff, so we're trying to figure out where those contacts could be and what their associations are within our community," said Hester.
And residents think those links could be right around the corner. "It's my gut feeling, and I think it it's somebody that lives around here that knows everybody's schedule," said Kimkowski.
Investigators say the suspects could have had to plan a drop off location for the stolen property, which may be over state lines.
Deputies are urging the public to lock up their equipment and report any suspicious activity to the Turner County Sheriff's Office at (229)567-2401.

The Vision
Our vision for the Northern Virginia Natural Resources Program is to be a leader in the areas of natural resource policy, sustainable development of urban environments, and the sustainable management of natural resources in a global context.
Program Description
The expertise of the College of Natural Resources and Environment is not duplicated by any other university with a presence in Northern Virginia. While traditional natural resource education, research, and outreach programs have addressed issues involving rural environments, our program additionally addresses natural resource issues in the urban environment, the growing urban/rural interface, and international resource management in a global setting. Topics such as urban fisheries and wildlife management, urban forestry, open space management, green infrastructure, land use policy, water allocation, biodiversity conservation, and international sustainable development are among those emphasized.
The non-thesis Master of Natural Resources (MNR) degree is offered from Falls Church and can be obtained in both classroom and virtual settings. The degree accommodates the needs of working professionals, and can be obtained part-time or full-time. A cohort-based executive version of the MNR degree (XMNR) focusing on leadership for sustainability, the first of its kind in the nation, is also available and a new cohort starts each January. A 12 credit Certificate of Graduate Studies in Natural Resources is also available. Finally, study abroad programs are offered each year for students looking to gain professional overseas work experience.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say a Patagonia deputy marshal has been suspended pending the outcome of a DUI investigation.
Tucson police say 37-year-old Johnny Tynes was booked into the Pima County jail Wednesday on suspicion of felony criminal damage.
Tynes allegedly drove into a utility pole, destroying it and knocking out power to an area of Tucson just before 5:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Police say the officer on-scene "noticed signs consistent with alcohol intoxication" and initiated a DUI investigation.
Depending on the outcome, police say additional charges could be filed.
The Arizona Daily Star says Patagonia Marshal Joe Patterson says he's greatly upset about the situation and has talked to Tynes about it.
Tynes wasn't injured in the single-vehicle crash. Authorities didn't immediately know Wednesday afternoon whether Tynes has legal representation yet.

Montpelier, Vermont - December 7, 2011
Republican state Senator Randy Brock announced Wednesday he will take on Governor Peter Shumlin at the polls next year. Brock has been carefully deciding which state position to run for during the past few months. He says he seriously considered running for Governor, Treasurer and Auditor, and he kept his decision a secret as long as possible. The long awaited announcement was made official Wednesday. Randy Brock stood before supporters ready to announce his run for state office. As rumor had it he announced his run for Governor. Big wig Republicans stood behind Brock in support of his announcement -- Former Governor Jim Douglas, State Auditor Tom Salmon, Republican Party Chair Pat McDonald and endorsements from Lt. Governor Phil Scott and Brian Dubie were written in. As Brock told those in attendance, history is not on his side. "No incumbent governor has been defeated in Vermont in half-a-century -- all I can say is, that it's about time," he said. Political analyst Eric Davis says aside from facing an incumbent, Randy Brock will have to overcome the fact that few Vermonters know his name. He cites a recent poll conducted by an organization known as public policy polling. "This poll showed when people were asked to give an impression, positive or negative of Randy Brock, only 36-percent could do so. So most don't know enough about him to judge favorably or unfavorably," he said.Brock spoke to changes in energy policy, the economy, Irene -- and he criticized Green Mountain Care. "Vermonters don't want to live in a lab of social change they don't want to be guinea pigs and lab rats in a grand social experiment," he said.Davis says sticking to the issues is crucial. He says most Vermonters don't respond well to negative campaigns. Campaign fundraising is another challenge Brock faces if he hopes to beat Governor Shumlin at the polls. "If fundraising numbers fall short and Shumlin continues to have a substantial lead on the polls it could be a long fall for Randy Brock," Davis said.Governor Shumlin was in California Wednesday, but a spokesperson issued a statement saying: "Governor Shumlin is focused on the job Vermonters elected him to do: create jobs, revitalize Vermont's economy, and get tough things done."

Football Betting
Up To £30 Free Matched Bet
Middlesbrough manager Tony Mowbray claims to have no intention of trying to bring David Wheater back to the club from Bolton.
Boro sold the centre-half to Bolton Wanderers in January 2011 and would reportedly welcome the opportunity to return him to their ranks.
They are, however, working to a tight budget at the Riverside Stadium and are in no position to finance a deal.
Wheater only has 12 months left to run on his current contract at the Reebok Stadium, but reports suggest that he could be offered fresh terms by Bolton.
Taking that into account, Mowbray admits there is no chance of putting a deal in place for the 26-year-old defender.
On the Wheater rumours, he told the Gazette: "I don't know anything about that, I don't know where that's come from.
"The reality of that is it doesn't fit in with where we are as a football club at the moment knowing what David was on salary-wise when he left us to what he would be going to at a Premier League club.
"To come back to us, I can't see how that can happen and it's not something we've considered."

Worst car purchase I've ever made. by jimmy on 04/27/2013. Trim: 2009 Kia Rio5 LX, Owned 4 years.
Pros: Nothing to like.
Cons: Major quality control and reliability issues. Multiple failures of significant parts and minor parts. Forone example, the car had windshield delaminate twice in the same spot within 48 months and yet Kia customer service uninterested in investigating if this was due to structural problems with car. Kia factory reps never return phone calls. Dealership service dreadful. Last dealerhship's solution to car's problems was "just buy a new car". Kia customer service unwilling to address car's reliability issues once car is out of warranty.
Overall review: I researched this car extensively because I wanted an inexpensive, basic commuter car with excellent reliability. In my opinion, this car and Kia failed miserably.
Review ID: #572159 Is this review offensive?
My Rio by Luna from Pennsylvania on 07/31/2013. Trim: 2009 Kia Rio5, Owned 1 year.
Pros: It's good on gas and its small size makes it easy to handle.
Cons: Minor things, like cup holder placements are a little awkward.
Overall review: I love my rio
Review ID: #574892 Is this review offensive?
Fun to drive. by Iowa on 10/15/2012. Trim: 2009 Kia Rio5 SX, Owned 1 year.
Pros: I get between 27-33 m.p.g. in town. Only 38 on the highway. Acceleration is great. Handling is good, better tires would help. Nice ride for a small car. Good breaks. It looks beautiful in black..Interior comfort is okay. Good cargo space. Good visabilaty. Great heat & a/c.
Cons: A 6th gear would have made it a better highway car.
Overall review: Great economy car.
Review ID: #565502 Is this review offensive?
2009 Rio5 Poor Gas Mileage by Disappointed in Burien WA on 04/29/2010. Trim: 2009 Kia Rio5 SX, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Handling and sound system great. Simple and clean dash controls. Fun to drive.
Cons: Automatic shifting sometimes less than ideal. My gas mileage is very poor, only 23 MPG in mixed (mostly city) driving. No cruise control.
Overall review: At 3400 miles car feels solid and is fun to drive, but the 23 MPG gas mileage is no where near the 25/35 rating. My '91 Honda Hatchback got better than 30 MPG on the same commute. Kia says there's nothing wrong and won't authorize the dealer to troubleshoot other than plugging into the computer. I feel like I have no recourse.
Review ID: #546868 Is this review offensive?
Excellent Value for the Price ~ I am a Happy Camper by GaPeech on 01/31/2010. Trim: 2009 Kia Rio5 SX, Owned 1 year.
Pros: This automobile offers excellent value for the money. I am very pleased that I purchased a Kia.
Cons: I wish Kia offered cruise control on this model. I would like to see them add that one feature.
Overall review: Very happy with this automobile. Recommend to friends. Great value. Comfortable. Great gas mileage. Cute. Sporty. Easy to park. Spacious.

*A liege waffle is a truly authentic Belgian experience. Invented in the 18th century and named after the city of Liege, in eastern Belgium, the ingredients used and the method of preparation in the liege waffle recipe is what makes this a unique treat. Liege waffles are dough based waffles and contain chunks of pearl sugar. This special type of sugar caramelizes on the outside of the waffle when baked and give little explosions of sweetness as you bite into the waffle itself.

If you took the Helping Homeschoolers in the Library webinar I taught this morning, hi!
If you didn't take the webinar I taught this morning, hi!
I'm glad to see everyone.
I shared a lot of web sites in this morning's class (focused on developing programs and collections for homeschoolers), ones that I share in most of my presentations these days, and I thought it might be helpful to have a list of them here for folks who are interested in learning more, whether they've attended a presentation or not. So here goes.
Homeschooling Resources on Pinterest
I joined Pinterest some months ago, and one of the many things it's good for is sharing learning activities. Homeschoolers have figured this out and have a huge presence there. It's a great resource to use to learn more about the types of things homeschoolers do and also for inspiration as you plan your own homeschooling programs.
Library Success Wiki
This has a section on homeschooling that includes links and some tips and suggestions for places to go for further information.
Abby the Librarian
I've mentioned Abby's blog here before. It's a great resource for anything related to children's services, and she does some particularly excellent work with homeschoolers. Her posts are both detailed and inspiring.
Amazon's homeschooling section is not as helpful for collection development as it once was, but it's still a useful resource.
World Book Typical Course of Study
I frequently point homeschoolers to this free resource that provides a guideline for what should be taught at what grade level, which is something homeschoolers often ask about.
Cathy Duffy Reviews
Cathy Duffy is a former homeschooler who reviews curriculum resources. This can be helpful to you as a librarian for collection development purposes, and it's also a fine resource to point new homeschoolers to.
Johnsburg Public Library's Homeschool Resource Center
Unless I'm missing something big, this is the finest homeschooling collection in the country. Truly outstanding.

Rain Barrel Workshops
The Philadelphia Water Department and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) are providing rain barrels to residents of Philadelphia's watersheds free of charge, in order to promote the reduction of stormwater flows to our sewer system and creeks.
Current workshops
PWD is currently transitioning the program management. We anticipate workshops beginning again in August, 2014. Please click on the link below to get on the Notification List.
Click here to be notified of upcoming workshops.
You must be a resident of Philadelphia in order to attend a workshop and receive a free rain barrel.
What is a Rain Barrel?
Rain Barrels are storage containers that collect rain water from downspouts. Downspouts lead the rain water from the roof to the ground or storm sewer. Rain barrels usually consist of a plastic storage container with lid, a system that diverts water into the barrel and a water spigot to which a hose can attach. The rain barrel is connected into the downspout system, in order to capture and store some of the rain water.
Why would I want a Rain Barrel?
This storage of rain water serves dual purposes. First, the water can be used for purposes such as gardening, washing down patio furniture, lawn watering, etc. that otherwise tap water would have to be used for. This ends up allowing the owner to use the collected water for these uses instead of paying for tap water. Second, the rain barrels serve an environmental purpose. By storing the rain water, there is a decreased impact of stormwater runoff to streams which helps to protect the environment and minimizes sewer back ups. Please be aware that residents who install rain barrels are not eligible for a discount on their stormwater bill.
How can I get a Rain Barrel?
The Philadelphia Water Department and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) are giving away rain barrels to people located within the watersheds of Philadelphia. In order to receive a rain barrel, it is mandatory to attend a rain barrel workshop to be educated on the installation process and use of the rain barrel. There is a one-per-household limit. Rain barrel workshops are held in locations around the city throughout the year.
This is a voluntary and free program.
You must be a resident of Philadelphia in order to attend a workshop and receive a free rain barrel.
Please note that by installing a rain barrel, you will not get a credit on your stormwater bill.

Laser Rifle
- For the XCOM: Enemy Unknown (2012) version, see Laser Rifle (EU2012)
Arguably the best weapon in the game, the Laser Rifle is the next step up from the Laser Pistol, and leads on to the Heavy Laser. Good accuracy, long range, no ammo needed, burst fire; this gun has it all. It does a lot less damage than the Heavy Plasma, but that's about it. The conventional Rifle reaches its limits with Floaters and Snakemen, but the Laser Rifle, once developed, is useful for the rest of the game.
Note that its shots will quite consistently destroy trees, brick walls, and other obstacles, but not reinforced metal like bases or ships. See Destroying Terrain for more details.
The only thing that really withstands a point blank burst from this would be the Sectopod.
This weapon appears in UFO: Enemy Unknown. For the Terror from the Deep equivalent, refer to the Gauss Rifle.
Note with the additional bonus from kneeling, an aimed shot provides 115% * soldier base accuracy.
Usage notes
The following lists how many times a soldier can fire the gun by shot type continuously in any given round and the remaining percentage of any left over TUs that cannot be spent as a shot.
- Aimed: 2 shots, 0% remaining TUs
- Snap: 4 shots, 0% remaining TUs
- Auto: Depends on maximum TUs, for 2/3 of the possible values you'll get three shots with 0/1 TUs remaining, for the remaining third you'll get two with 32% TUs remaining (sufficient for 1 more Snap shot).
Note: To determine whether a solder can perform two or three auto shots per turn, calculate whether the maximum TUs your soldier has minus two, is perfectly divisible by three. If the answer is no, then that soldier can perform three auto shots per turn.
For example, a soldier with 77 TUs max will use 26 TU for an auto shot (34% of 77 rounded down), and three times 26 is 78 - More TUs then that soldier has.
On the other hand, at 78 TUs max he'll also be using 26 TU per auto shot, and the same is true at 79 TUs! So, loosely speaking, for every case where a soldier cannot fire three auto shots per turn there are about two cases where he can.

Work under way to shore up bridgeAugust 31,2013LYNDONVILLE Work is under way in the Passumpsic River to build a timber crib to support a 140-year-old covered bridge that is in danger of collapsing.
On Thursday, workers brought stone to the site of the privately owned Sanborn bridge and began creating the base for the timbers.
Once the timber structure touches the bridge, The National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges will assume ownership of the bridge from long-time owners Arthur and Jeanne Elliott, who dont have the $160,000 its estimated it will cost to repair the bridge.
Tim Andrews of Barns & Bridges of New England in Gilford, N.H., who is leading the shoring up process, said engineers from Hoyle, Tanner & Associates in Burlington, offered their design services for free.
Attention was focused on the bridge after an employee of a nearby motel called police to warn they felt the bridge was in danger of falling into the river. Police closed the bridge to the public.
The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued expedited permits allowing work in the river.
The plan is to stabilize the bridge by Dec. 1. Next spring, the bridge will be moved to dry ground for full restoration.
David Wright, president of the covered bridge preservation society, said they have begun a fundraising campaign to pay for the repairs.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER With just days to go before the Democratic primaries, and a sitting governor and...

To the editor:
We are approaching a historic anniversary that, much to my chagrin, New England has not seemed to move one step for its commemoration. I'm talking about the Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War (2011-2015).
For a few years now, many Southern states have set up organizations, approved by their state governments, to help set up events and ceremonies of remembrances of this critical time in our country's history that wasn't really that long ago. The last veteran of the war died in the 1950s.
The stage is already set for the anniversary of John Brown's Raid at Harper's Ferry, W.Va., this October, an event seen by most historians as the spark that ignited passions on both sides of the upcoming conflict. Three states — Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia — have events planned for this one commemoration alone! Brown himself foresaw a bloody conflict coming as he was sent to the gallows.
The National Park Service has set up a Web site to "present information on events leading up to the Civil War, so that the Sesquicentennial can be experienced as the 150th anniversary of major military events, but also of social, political, economic and cultural transformations that have changed the nation forever."
On its Web site, among the long list of Civil War sites under the umbrella of the NPS, there are four places in Massachusetts! This doesn't include the various state or local historic-related locations or the town and city monuments that dot almost every New England town and city. Newburyport has the treasure known as Atkinson Common.
Historic figures of the time lived or came through Newburyport, and many local unsung heroes signed up to defend the Union. Many are buried in Oak Hill, the Highland and other cemeteries right here.

My bunny has started coughing! Last night she started making this funny little noise like a hiccup and it went on all night. I took her to the vet this evening and the vet reckons in all her years of working with bunnies, she's never had a bunny coughing.
She seems to think that maybe Bunny breathed in something and we just have to wait for Mother Nature to help her cough it up. Also, to watch out for any secondary infection.
Bun is eating, pooing and being her generally nosy self - she's not distressed at all.
Has anyone ever had this problem?

Comments about Personalized Egyptian Cartouche Pendant - Gold:
This Cartouche is good quality. It is lovely. The accompanying chain is too delicate and not sufficient to safely support this piece of jewelry.
The clasp is insufficient and difficult to operate.
I had to order a heavier chain for more money to feel confident this beautiful pendant would not be lost due to chain breakage!

Alexandra "Alex" Carpenter never had played hockey when she told her father she wanted to be in the NHL like he was.
Her father, Bobby Carpenter, the first American drafted first overall in the NHL, said that wasn't possible. So she asked for an alternative.
"Play in the Olympics," he told her.
"From that point on, at 5 or 6 years old, that became my goal," she said.
Alex started playing hockey when she was 7 years old and soaked up everything about the sport. The skating, the passing, the shooting, the team camaraderie: Alex loved it all.
When her father started coaching in the pros, she'd go to practices, watching how they conducted their business and carried themselves and let that seep into her hockey consciousness, too.
Now working for the Toronto Maple Leafs in player development, Bobby Carpenter scours U.S. college hockey teams and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League for potential pro prospects. When he evaluates a player, one of the things he looks for is intelligence of the game. If the player has "hockey sense," as it's known, and desire, almost anything else can be fixed.
He knew that his daughter had both from a young age.
"You could tell very early on that Alex had a system on the ice and her desire was always there. Right away, she had the two most important things," said Carpenter, 50. "You either have those things or you don't. She had them."
Fast forward to high school, where she broke record after record.
Alex finished her high school career at Governors with more than 400 points and won back-to-back Independent School League MVP honors.
Doing her due diligence and wanting to stay local, she narrowed her college choices down to Harvard and Boston College.
"BC just struck me right," she said. "All the girls on the team were unbelievable."

Don't worry, Greenfield. Your late-night dining options still include Griddlers Cafe.
That's not the case, however, in Menomonee Falls. Don Hensiak, co-founder of the now five-restaurant franchise, said Falls Griddlers owner Diane Neavins was forced to close the eatery due to undisclosed health issues. Neavins has operated a George Webb or Griddlers franchise at that location since 1985.
"The owner Diane Neavins has decided to shut down that location due primarily to some health issues," Hensiak said. "It's a small business that really requires the time and dedication of an owner and operator. She's been trying really hard, but just hasn't been able to be there."
Hensiak said he doesn't have a lot of details at this point about the closure — as it happened rather suddenly just a day ago. However, there still may be hope for Griddlers in Menomonee Falls.
"We are hopeful there could be a chance we get another owner in there, but the Falls location will be closed indefinitely. We won't know anything for at least a couple weeks," Hensiak said.
Neavins owns the building that Griddlers is located in, and Hensiak said that adds another wrinkle into the future plans for the Falls location. Patch has contacted Neavins, but her phone signal has been busy throughout the morning and early afternoon.
Griddlers, which used to operate as a George Webb, opened in fall 2011 after several Webb franchise owners decided to split from the family and start something new. Perhaps more accurately, they wanted to hold on to the old ways.
The other five Griddlers locations are open and business is humming. The other franchises are located at 10706 W. Greenfield Ave., West Allis; 4160 W. Loomis Rd. and 7510 W. Layton Ave. in Greenfield; 2012 W. Layton Ave., Milwaukee; 211 N. Chicago Ave., South Milwaukee.

Guy's twitter: @THE_ELPRESADOR
A few Richardson facts:
- 40th in Yards per Carry last season(3.6)
- Averaging 3.4 YPC this year.(regression)
- Ranked 18th in rushing yards last season DESPITE ranking 11th in carries
- He's not a home run threat. His longest rush all year last year was 32 yards. Old washed up Michael Turner had longer rushes than that.
- Had 14 rushes of 10 yards or more ALL SEASON. And he played 15 games. How does a young RB with 4.5 speed only have 14 carries of 10+ yards? How is that even possible?
- Trent averaged 9 more yards per game than Robert Griffin iii. Seriously.
- He ranked 26th in rushing 1st downs with 36.
- Jim Brown on Trent, ""I'm not overwhelmed with it," Brown said of the prospect that his former team, the Cleveland Browns, could select Richardson. "The problem is that he's ordinary. I think he's ordinary."What's ordinary about Richardson? "The size, the speed, his moves," he said."
- And all this despite playing behind a solid offensive line.
Does this sound like someone who'd be worth trading a 1st round pick for? This guy is worthy of a 4th or 3rd rounder at best.

DETROIT (AP) - The daughter of a former Chicago Bears player from the 1950s is accused of illegally collecting money from an NFL pension plan years after her father's death.
Constance Helwig-Langlois was charged Wednesday with fraud in Detroit federal court. She's the daughter of John Helwig, who played defense for the Bears.
The government says the NFL retirement plan kept sending checks to John Helwig's Detroit-area address after his 1994 death. A court document says Helwig's wife Ruth twice told officials that her husband still was alive. Ruth Helwig died in 2007.
The government says their daughter kept the scheme going until fall 2011. The erroneous payments added up to more than $200,000 over 17 years.
No one answered the daughter's phone in Oakland County's Waterford Township on Wednesday.

VHS honors Henrico resident
At a special luncheon on July 18, the Virginia Historical Society (VHS) presented awards to individuals – including one from Henrico – who have made significant contributions to research, education and the mission of the society.
The Patricia Rodman and Martin Kirwan King Volunteer Award, which recognizes the outstanding volunteer of the year, was awarded to Henrico resident Lee Ball, who has been volunteering in the advancement office at VHS for more than a year. A total of nine VHS awards were presented.
"I've enjoyed helping the VHS staff with some of the 'behind the scenes' work needed to tell the story of Virginia and preserve its history for future generations," Ball said. "I've met many fine people, both staff and members, who've become almost like an extended family. Volunteering at the VHS has been a very positive experience."
VHS President and CEO Paul Levengood said that Ball's support had been significant.
"From lending a hand on bus trips, to designing spreadsheets and streamlining data entry, Lee has done a little bit of everything," Levengood said. "He comes in almost every Tuesday and Thursday, eats lunch at his desk, and is often one of the last people in the office to leave. He is a true asset to the VHS and the volunteer program."
Author, child abuse survivor to speak at Henrico event

'Planes' sequel crashes
'Fire and Rescue' proves too predictable, boring
Planes: Fire and Rescue opens with a dedication to the hero firefighters of the world. It's an admirable notion, and it makes sense, given that this is a film about planes that fight fires.
But here it might be a little out of place, as Planes: Fire and Rescue has a few things on its mind besides supporting the men and women who routinely throw themselves into burning buildings.
Like money. Lots and lots of money – into the 11-figures-and-counting range. In case you weren't aware, 2006's Cars was the biggest moneymaker Disney had in decades – not because of how much green the film printed at the box office, but because a combination of toys, games and snack foods stamped with the Cars seal of approval routinely pulls in tens of billions of dollars per year. > Read more.

How To Reinvent A Product
Many entrepreneurs and small business owners often attempt to reinvent their existing products, from pizza to cupcake to coffee. Some have achieved astonishing success while others have fallen flat. Reinvention of an existing product is an integral part of business growth. Giving your product a new form and finding new uses for it can make it relevant and fresh again. Reinvention of an existing product also helps your business to adjust to the dynamic marketing conditions, prevent market stagnation and promote market expansion.
Here are few tips for successful product reinvention:
Redefine market segments: Redefining market segments within an already existing market can help your company to deliver outstanding and differentiated value to each and every segment. Market segmentation serves as an effective tool for profitable growth.
Industry influencers: Small businesses often focus only on the immediate buyers. They neglect the need to address the users and industry influencers who might ultimately become buyers. Apart from focusing your efforts on immediate buyers, it is also important to focus your efforts on addressing industry influencers.
Offer complementary products: Integrating your products with other products, which serve the same market segment can help you to horizontally expand your product offering. For instance, a web-based collaboration application company can integrate its services with web-based software tools, which form an integral part of small business software systems.
Emotional and functional appeal to buyers: Tell your customers the story behind your product. An interesting story will help you to create an emotional one-on-one connection with your customers. Also, it will help you to create emotional attachment with your services and product, which can result in increased customer loyalty and profit returns.
Remember that revamping your product strategy does not mean that you need to reinvent your overall business. As your business gradually grows and number of competitors increases, it is preferable to keep reinventing your products and services to stand out in an otherwise competitive and crowded market.

India Steamship plans to buy Aframax tanker
Santanu Sanyal
Kolkata , Oct. 26
India Steamship (ISS), the shipping division of Chambal Fertilisers & Chemicals Ltd belonging to K.K. Birla Group, proposes to increase its tonnage shortly.
"We propose to acquire a second-hand, double hull Aframax crude tanker by the end of this year or early next year at an estimated cost of $65 million," Mr Arun Sharma, Executive President and CEO of ISS, told Business Line here on Thursday.
With this acquisition, the company's total tonnage will increase by 1.05 lakh dwt to more than 4.5 lakh dwt. "But our actual tonnage will drop to a little less than 4 lakh dwt as we propose to scrap the 1982-built Panamax tanker (60,725 dwt), Ratna Abha," Mr Sharma said. Currently the ISS fleet consists of four crude carriers, three of which are Aframax tankers Ratna Puja (1.05 lakh dwt), Ratna Urvia (96,088 dwt), Ratna Shalini (89,960 dwt) and Ratna Abha (60,725 dwt).
However, the division has on order with Hyundai of South Korea three more Aframax crude tankers of 1.05 lakh dwt each for delivery in 2008, with the option for ordering a fourth.
"Our objective is to become a major player in Aframax field which we have identified as the growth area," Mr Sharma said. With the scrapping of Ratna Abha and the acquisition of an Aframax tanker shortly, the fleet would consist of only Aframax tankers. However, two Aframax vessels in the existing fleet, namely, Ratna Urvi (1998-built) and Ratna Shalini (1997-built), which are single-hull tankers, would be phased out latest by 2010, he said, adding, "we would like to build a fleet of modern double-hull Aframax tankers in due course".
This will also help ISS build a fleet of vessels in the right age profile. Ratna Puja is 2006-built while the new acquisition is likely to be 2000 built. The vessels on order would be 2008 built. "We will be in the right mode to achieving our objective of having a modern Aframax fleet," he added.

Police appeal over double theft
2:27pm Thursday 30th January 2014 in Echo News
POLICE investigating the theft of £1,300 worth of cosmetics from a chemist in Leigh want to identify two women who were caught on CCTV at the time of the theft.
One of the woman is believed to have been in the store on two occasions when make-up was stolen.
The other woman was present when the second theft took place. The first theft happened at 2pm on December 21.
A woman had entered French's Chemist, on London Road, and selected various cosmetic items from the display before hiding them in her coat and leaving the store without making any attempt to pay.
The second incident took place at 3.50pm on January 4. Two women came into the same shop and selected numerous make-up items from the shelves and hid them in a bag and their coats before again leaving without making any attempt to pay.
The first suspect is described as white, aged in her 30s, with highlighted blonde shoulder length hair. The second suspect is white, aged in her 50s, with blonde hair.
Anyone who recognises the women in the CCTV or who has any other information that could help police can call PC Collette Hallett at Southend Police Station on 101 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Why do the Police wait so long to put out photos? If they could put them out within a day or so we might recall the people involved. 4 weeks later who remembers who they saw then?

Dorcas Widows Project (90230)
Many widows in West Africa have little or no material and moral support after their husbands' deaths. Often their in-laws want to take their children and sometimes even accuse them in the death of their husbands. Sometimes these mothers give in to the intense cultural pressures; other times they fight to keep their children.
The Dorcas Widow's project has stepped forward to provide spiritual, social, and physical support for these marginalized women.
The goal of the project is to provide capital in the form of micro-loans to widows to help them start small business. Each widow choses what she will do—pottery, vegetable gardening, breeding of animals such as goats, sheep and cows, or cereal banks. Some open stalls in the market to sell food or wares. Each widow attends a training seminar which gives her knowledge and tools to invest money and to earn the amounts she needs for living and her children's education.
We hear touching stories from the widow beneficiaries who have proven to be skilled entrepreneurs. Many report that they are able to buy medecines for their children and send them to school. One widow reports enthusiastically, "I was able to buy a wife for my son!"
Today, two well-organized programs are thriving in Niger and Burkina Faso, with dreams to expand into Benin. The Burkina Faso project has given funds to about 300 widows and the Niger project to 30 widows.
Beginnings of the Project
In early 2006, SIM missionary Soula Isch began a speaking tour in Burkina Faso. There she spoke to hundreds of women who were eager to hear the Word of God. They often sat beneath handmade hangars in sweltering 40º C (104º F) temperatures. Soula asked if she might have a session with the widows, and was amazed by the numbers of widows present at every conference, and at the stories they shared. These widows felt lonely, and often had no means to care for their children. They were desperate for someone to come alongside and help. The Spirit of God spoke to Soula, herself a widow since the death of her husband, Jean Isch, in 1999, but the task seemed too great.
By the end of her final conference, Soula could no longer resist God's voice pushing her to step out in faith. She asked the widows present to pray for her. "I wanted to become their ambassador, their voice!" she says. And with that, she made a promise to become an advocate for those who could not speak themselves. The Dorcas Widows project was born soon afterwards.
"The Dorcas project has given me new energy," says Soula, whose vocation of discipleship and conference speaking have made her well-loved by women across West Africa and in her home countries of Canada and Greece for the past five years. "I feel very challenged, but God has promised to provide for the widows and the orphans. He is faithful. A.B. Simpson said, 'God does not want great men and women, but he wants men and women who will dare to prove the greatness of their God.'"
If you would like to partner with Soula and her teams in Niger and Burkina Faso to care for widows in practical ways through micro-loans and spiritual support, then we would love to hear from you today. Thank you!

What do you think of the film? Are you coming to see any productions this winter?]]>
With the Olympics under a year away, the new World Stage film for the 2011 winter Season has a decidedly Olympian influence. Principal of The Royal Ballet Lauren Cuthbertson dusts on the chalk for a balletic take on the beam event in a promotional film to be used online and in over 700 cinemas in 22 countries for our Cinema Season.
See previous World Stage campaign films
Acclaimed by audiences and critics alike, Lauren has held the rank of Principal of the Royal Ballet since 2008 and with the company since 2002.
Lauren will be making her debuts as Manon and in Requiem this season. She will also be dancing the Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nutcracker, Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty, Juliet in Romeo and Juliet and Alice in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, among others. Performances of The Sleeping Beauty and Romeo and Juliet will be broadcast live to cinemas around the world.
The music for this Season's World Stage film features the track Still Life by acclaimed British rock band The Horrors. The track is taken from their third full length release Skying, commended by the Guardian as "marvellous" and by the NME as a record that proves that the Southend quintet are "one of this generation's most important bands".

Pointless victories:
Some people could go argue that a team needs to play to win , every time they take the field. Others may imply, losing meaningless games simply is better for the teams future in securing draft picks for the future. Most recently " suck for Luck".
If a season is over for a team. Meaning " If there is no shot at a playoff berth, what would you rather see your team do? The answers from the people I talk to are pretty split.
Going into Oakland week 17 last season, the chargers were out of any playoff contention. Their season was ending in Oakland, and there was nothing that could be done to prevent that. Yet, they gave one of their seasons best performances.
Normally, I'd be happy at whatever circumstance put the Raiders out of the playoffs, but the Chargers performance simply pushed the Broncos into the playoffs," equally depressing!
What did the Chargers get out of it? Bragging rights, not hearing about how the Raiders swept them. Here we sit in April, just days before the draft, and I have to wonder if a loss would have been a better move for the Organization.
I've been reading a lot about how the Chargers may "trade up" to draft Safety " Mark Barron.
In order to do so, most mock drafters will have the Chargers trading to get ahead of Dallas at 14.
This takes me back to that game in Oakland.
Had the Chargers lost that game in Oakland, they would be drafting at either pick 11 or 12. Barron would be pretty much a lock for the Bolts.
Also, they would have the 42nd, or 43rd in the second, which would open things up quite a bit for the DE/OLB class position which is really strong this year.
Instead, the Chargers will either have to trade up in the first for Barron, or very early second for Harrison Smith. Either way, they're in no mans land as we speak holding 18 and 49.
For you older Charger fans, do you remember the 1997 season? Forgettable to say the least. The Chargers were playing a pointless season by late October against the lowly Indianapolis Colts.
For some odd reason, the Chargers put together their best game of the year against the Colts, and won a " pointless" game. At the end of the season, the Chargers finished 4-12. The Colts finished 3-13.
In the following draft, the Colts selected Manning at #1. The Chargers picked second, selecting Ryan Leaf. every body knows how that turned out. But what many people don't know, is that the Chargers were trying desperately to trade with the Colts, offering everything including the kitchen sink. The Colts would not budge.
My point:
Trade up for Barron. A.J Smith has nothing to lose. The safe trade would be with Arizona at 13. Sneak in there before Dallas and Philadelphia have a shot to grab him. Settling for whoever falls to you could have very bad results.
A.J Smith is already playing on "house money", and may be just one or two players shy of finally putting it all together!

"He's a Wimpy Dad and Lets Our Kids Run Our Lives"
The Counselor's Turn
Nancy and Paul came to me for a three-day therapy intensive -- a method I use for couples in real crisis, when an hour-long session might be taken up with 50 minutes of arguing. They said their conflict was over parenting, but I could see that there were deeper issues.
Nancy told me that her father was an alcoholic who abused her mother; the chaos in her childhood made her crave a sense of order and control. Her first husband was much more permissive than she was, which was one of the reasons that marriage didn't last. She'd thought Paul would be different, but he turned out to be soft on discipline too. That scared her and undermined her trust in him. So she tried to "fix" his parenting. When that didn't work, she got angry and attacked him. And when he still didn't change, she went into withdrawal mode.
Paul was raised by parents who put their children first and avoided conflict at all costs. He'd learned from their example to be overly accommodating. The thing that scared him most in life was being rejected -- and when his first wife walked out, his worst fears came true. After the split, he felt his most important job as a dad was to make sure his kids felt cared for. He found it hard to set boundaries. But he couldn't say no to Nancy, either. When she demanded that he be stricter with his kids, he said, "Yes, honey," even though he didn't really agree. Paul worried he'd lose his children's approval if he cracked down, and Nancy's if he didn't. He was constantly on the defensive, trying to be loyal to both sides -- which meant he was also constantly angry at the people he loved.
As I talked with Nancy and Paul, I drew diagrams of their family relationships, past and present, to help them see how things passed down from their earliest days helped make them who they are. I also had them pretend the floor was a checkerboard; they stood on the squares and acted out the patterns in their relationship. They could see how their fears made them work against each other, one partner attacking and the other retreating in an endless dance around the board. I told them that the goal is to stop the dysfunctional dance, get out of that game and recapture the love and desire that first brought them together. But to do that, each member of a couple has to stop trying to manage the other person. With issues like discipline, it can help to think about where you fall on a numerical scale. If one is very permissive and 10 is very rigid, Nancy saw herself as a seven; Paul considered himself a three. If they could both move a little toward the middle -- if she could get herself to a six or a five, and he could get to a four or five -- they could agree.
I suggested that they try saying those numbers out loud the next time they had an argument. Nancy could say, "Okay, I'm being a seven now, and I need to try not to do that." Paul could say, "I'm being such a three!" It would help them reset themselves, and it would also let each of them see that the other was making an effort.
After the three days, Nancy and Paul flew home -- they live in another state -- and we did weekly follow-up sessions by phone. It took a while, but Nancy found ways to back off and Paul was able to step up more. His kids didn't always do their chores, but they began to show more respect. Nancy and Paul's trust in each other grew, and they gradually learned to work as a team.
Paul's older kids never really got close to Nancy's daughter Grace, but they're in college now, so things are a lot more peaceful around the house. And Pam and Grace, who were fighting over the sweater? Nancy recently told me that they like to hang out in Grace's bedroom -- swapping clothes.

Troopers in North Carolina said an Interstate 26 connector in Henderson County is blocked after a glue truck crashed Tuesday morning.
The North Carolina Highway Patrol said the tractor trailer hauling latex glue crashed just before 6 a.m. along the US 25 connector to I-26 near East Flat Rock, blocking southbound US 25.
Troopers said clean up will take several hours, though it is not a Hazmat situation.
At least one person was injured in the crash, troopers said.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation has suggested the following detour as an alternate route for drivers wanting to take US 25 south. From I-26 south, take exit 53 (Upward Road), then turn right on Upward Road and continue to US 176 West (Spartanburg Highway) to re-access US 25.

Business and patient groups waged a costly lobbying campaign against tighter prescribing regulations for hydrocodone products for many years, according to The New York Times. Last week, the Food and Drug Administration recommended tighter restrictions for products containing hydrocodone and other painkillers such as acetaminophen or aspirin.

Witness plea over Darlington car crash which left two in hospital
8:09pm Wednesday 5th February 2014 in News
POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a vehicle carrying out a dangerous overtaking manoeuvre caused another car to crash, leaving a mother and daughter in hospital.
The incident took place on the A66 on the outskirts of Darlington at 5.15pm on Tuesday (February 4).
The mother and daughter had just passed the Brick Train sculpture heading towards Teesside when they came across a car on the wrong side of the road overtaking other vehicles.
They swerved to avoid it and crashed off the road, hitting a tree.
Both were taken to hospital but have since been released.
Police said their car has been completely written off and are appealing for anyone who saw the incident, or a car being driven in a dangerous manner, to contact them.
PC Paul Dickenson, of Darlington Police, said: "There would have been a lot of traffic at that time and this car is said to have been in and out of traffic.
"We would like anyone with any information, or who saw a car driving particularly recklessly at that time, to get in touch."
Witnesses can contact PC Dickenson via the 101 police non-emergency number.

Driving that section of road daily i know it is easily wide enough for three vehicles. I`m assuming the reckless driver must have been a long way out of the lanes. This road should ( and easily could ) be dual carriageway.
