Yamaha's XT125X is Yamaha's learner-friendly road going supermoto. The 125cc four-stroke machine is a scaled down version of the XT660X and has the same supermoto styling cues, like a big single front disc brake, aggressive styling, 17" wheels and wide tyres. Although learner riders are allowed to ride a 15bhp 125cc by law, the XT125X makes just 10bhp.
124cc, 14.5bhp, 65mph, Insurance group 5
The Rieju SMX 125 and 50 models are Supermoto styled bikes aimed at novices, with the 125 featuring a 14bhp Yamaha engine, Paioli suspension and a tall seat height. The 50cc SMX Pro version also has trick bits like Galfer wavy dics and a chromed exhaust system. Just that bit more stylish than the average learner bike.

Until recently the Husaberg FS400 was one of the few over-the-counter supermotos available.

However, it's not the most reliable bike.

The Harriman Lady Blue Devils bedeviled the Concord Christian School Lady Lions by a very decisive 81-19 margin Thursday evening.
The game was over quick as Harriman opened the game with a 33-4 run before the Lady Lions scored a 3-pointer to end the first period, making the score 33-7.
Former Rockwood Public Works Director Tom Pierce was accused of using city funds to make personal purchases in 2013.
He has yet to go to trial.
A continuance was granted Nov. 17, and the new trial date is set for March 31 in front of Judge Eugene Eblen.
"They need to go ahead and come out and get it over with," said Councilwoman Peggy Evans.
Evans said she was shocked when the accusations about Pierce emerged, and she called him immediately.
The glimmer of the Princess Theatre's lights will glow in holiday spirit when the Princess Theatre Foundation presents a showing of the classic holiday film "It's a Wonderful Life."
The Dec. 12 showing will be the first time in many years that the Princess, originally a movie theater, has shown a film. It was all made possible with a newly installed screen, thanks to fundraising efforts of the Princess Theatre Foundation.
"I think it is fantastic," Harriman City Councilman Chris Ahler said.
The father accused of starving his 2-year-old son to death is now on his third attorney.
A. Philip Lomonaco of Knoxville filed a notice with the court last week that he's now serving as the attorney for Matthew Dotson. Dotson's previous attorney, Kent Booher, was suspended by the Tennessee Supreme Court in October for pleading guilty to two counts of statutory rape in Loudon County Criminal Court.
Booher took over as Dotson's attorney after Joseph Lodato was allowed to withdraw from the case in July 2013.
James Horton said he was shocked by the response he got at last week's Oliver Springs Board of Aldermen meeting.
"A couple of things are clear," Horton said. "OS doesn't care what the charter says."
The town charter states, "the newly elected officers of the town shall take offices at 7 p.m. on the first Thursday in November, after the election results have been certified."
The Roane County Board of Education didn't select an architect at last Tuesday's special-called meeting.
But the board narrowed the field to Michael Brady Inc. and The Lewis Group.
"We'll do a more thorough interview with them pretty quickly," Board Chairman Mike "Brillo" Miller said.
Board members will interview representatives from both firms during a special-called session beginning at 6 p.m. Dec. 4.
With one year still to play at Oliver Springs, Courtney Jones is already regarded as one of the best players to ever play softball in Roane County.
After this year, she will see if she can have the same success in college, as Friday afternoon the Lady Bobcat senior signed scholarship papers with Tennessee Wesleyan College in Athens.
The dispute between Tiger Haven and neighbor Toby Rhynehart shows no signs of subsiding.
Rhynehart has filed a civil action in Roane County General Sessions Court, alleging Tiger Haven operator Mary Lynn Haven built a chain link fence on his property and cut down some of his trees.
"I've got pictures," Rhynehart said. "I've got everything. I've got some things that she doesn't even know about. You'll just have to wait until trial."
Last Sunday Redd Hardy was ordained for a deacon at St. Mary's Missionary Baptist Church in Chattanooga, where he has been a member for a long time.
Herbert and Carolyn Griffin, Richard and Mary Hickey, Keith and Jill Johnson and Rosa Osborn of Harriman attended this service.
Deacon Hickey read the Scripture. Deacon Griffin gave the duty of a deacon and Carolyn gave encouraging expressions to her daughter, Redd's wife.
Robin's son Randy Shannon sang a melody of songs.
Rockwood head coach John Webb knew that if his football team was to win Friday's TSSAA Class 2A playoffs game at Oneida, it would happen only if his squad played a really good football game.
That didn't happen as turnovers, penalties and poor field position were the deciding factors in a 21-7 loss to the Indians.

Quick show of hands. Who's had it with snow?
Spencer County woke to yet another cold, white blanket Tuesday morning bringing this winter's total accumulation to 19.9 inches – nearly the height of this 23-inch newspaper (including the margins). Since the New Year, four days have seen snow fall roughly three inches or more with February 9 leading the way with 6.5 inches. Monday's storm will go down as the second highest with 3.9 inches – if residents are lucky.
Firefighters were alerted to a blaze around 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning and arrived to find a home nearly consumed with fire.
Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Chief Nathan Nation said that he believes the fire started in the south end of the home, but that the cause is still under investigation.
Homeowner Joann Chesser, of 59 Greens Lane, was not at home at the time of the fire. Neighbors at the scene reported that Chesser frequently spends weekends with her son in Louisville.
A fatal accident last week may lead to changes for residents who use motorized wheel chairs to travel along Taylorsville's busy roads.
Marsha Dennison, 76, died Wednesday morning after being struck by a propane truck at the intersection of East Main and Jefferson streets. The Taylorsville resident was reportedly attempting to cross with the light at Jefferson Street in her motorized wheel chair when Harry D. Mercer, 42, made a right turn off Main Street. Both subjects were moving eastbound prior to the accident.
The high school cafeteria was abuzz Friday night and not just because the Republican faithful had gathered to hear from party candidates. As guests arrived for the annual Lincoln Day Dinner, their attention was quickly focused on a sight rarely found in small towns – a cable news crew.
"I think there was excitement that CNN was there," said Lynn Hesselbrock, Spencer County Republican Party Chair. Diners were thrilled, she said, to see the national media giant covering issues viewed as important by ordinary Americans.
A 22-year-old man has been indicted for murder in the Oct. 18, 2009, traffic incident that caused the death of a Taylorsville man.
Kevin Sullivan, of Mount Washington, is in the Bullitt County Detention Center on a $500,000 cash bond for capital murder and five counts of wanton endangerment.
According to a story in The Pioneer News, Sullivan was traveling north in the southbound lanes of US 31East in Mount Washington.
Twenty-four affordable apartments designed for low-income families has been scheduled to break ground later this spring, according to Roy Lowenstein, vice president of Buckeye Community Hope Foundation.
"These units will be very beautiful," said Lowenstein. "I think it will be an asset to the community."
The $4 million project called Taylorsville Place Apartments will be constructed on three acres located at Turnpike Ave. across from Spencer County Elementary School.
Property transfers
The following property transfers were recorded in the Spencer County Clerk's office during the month of November 2009.
The Seasons, LLC, Mt. Eden to Peoples Bank, Taylorsville. Lots 1 through 31 and Lots 33 through 36 Camp Branch Trail Subdivision. $775,000.
Many patrons took a second look when they caught sight of the bright red Budweiser truck parked outside Settler's Trace Grocery Wednesday morning. Steve and Joan Killian's convenience store was the first in the county to receive a packaged beer license – and the first to legally sell alcohol – since voters elected to abolish prohibition in November.
Jeremy Tong was one of those patrons that had stopped to fill his car with gas. It was about 8 a.m. and he watched with interest as the driver wheeled in case after case of Bud Light.
Taylorsville Police are looking for the person(s) responsible for taking a charity collection box located at Dairy Queen's drive-thru window.
Chief Toby Lewis said that night shift employees failed to remove the box after closing Monday night. It was not until Tuesday morning that other employees discovered the plastic box was missing.
Lewis called the theft "absolutely absurd," especially since the box cost about $125, substantially more than the $30 it likely contained.
Three Taylorsville residents were arrested at a home on Cecil Noel Rd. at 1 a.m Sunday morning after Spencer County Sheriff's Department issued a search warrant.
David A. Aldridge, 26, was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia after police allegedly found numerous pipes in the home.
Amber D. Aldridge, 19, was charged with possession of a defaced firearm. The police report indicated that the sawed-off shotgun was found in a closet. The handle of the weapon was cut into a pistol grip and the barrel cut at the fore grip.

Mobb Deep at Odds
One of hip hop's favorite groups, Mobb Deep, got into a heavy public feud in 2012. With Havoc tweeting that Prodigy is a "b----" that was engaging in homosexual relations in jail, the Twitter world exploded. Havoc quickly denied sending the tweets, bailing the drama on a lost cellphone. The duo tried their best to be on good terms in public, but as it stands now, it looks like there may never be another Mobb Deep album. (Photo: Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images)

Two Men Arrested for Aggravated Robbery
POSTED: Friday, September 9, 2011 - 4:36pm
UPDATED: Sunday, September 11, 2011 - 5:34am
EL PASO –Police have arrested two men for an aggravated robbery this week.
Police say Carlos Barraza, 25, and Daniel Nevarez, 26, entered the Doctor Cellular store located at 8387 Alameda at noon on Wednesday armed with a handgun. The men took numerous cell phones, struck the clerk on the head, forcing him to open the cash register. Then, the two men stole cash from the register and fled the store.
They have been booked into the El Paso County Jail on the charge of Aggravated Robbery and their bonds were set at $250,000.00.

Don't these people read/hear the news and understand that when you commit a crime, you go to jail?
I agree. What's so hard about getting a job and staying out of trouble?

A refuse-collecting drainpipe insert is a generally helical coil formed by a strip of rectangular cross section and having a bulge located axially generally centrally of the coil, and frustoconical end portions tapered oppositely from the central bulge of the coil, the strip at one end of the coil being formed as a hook and the strip at the other end of the coil being formed as a return bend.
1. A refuse-collecting insert adapted to be lodged in a drainpipe connected to the drain opening from a plumbing fixture for discharge therethrough of waste water carrying refuse and removable from the drainpipe upward through such drain opening, comprising a generally helical open coil having refuse-entangling convolutions forming an interior hollow and a bulge located axially spaced from the opposite ends of said coil of a size to fit snugly in the drainpipe, and said coil having a section tapered upwardly from said bulge for flow of waste water in the drainpipe from the exterior of said coil through the spaces between the refuse-entangling convolutions of said upwardly tapered section into the interior hollow of said coil and having a section tapered downwardly from said bulge for flow of waste water out of the interior hollow of said coil through the spaces between the refuse-entangling convolutions of said downwardly tapered section, said downwardly tapered section being longer than said upwardly tapered section, the combined lengths of said tapered sections constituting the major portion of the length of said coil, and the adjacent convolutions of a tapered section being in partially edge-overlapping relationship radially of the coil.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/088,660 filed on Jul. 7, 1993 now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a refuse collector in the form of a drainpipe insert for insertion into drains from plumbing fixtures at locations adjacent to such fixtures.
2. Prior Art
The prior practice with respect to refuse in water discharged from plumbing fixtures such as shower stalls, bathtubs, washbowls and sinks has been to allow such refuse as was not carried through traps conventionally located in such plumbing fixture drains to be deposited in the traps until the traps were clogged or nearly clogged and then to clean out the traps either by use of some refuse solvent liquid, by use of a plunger force cup to force water through the drain trap and hopefully to dislodge some of the refuse from the drain trap, by reaming out refuse from the drain trap by the use of a plumber's snake or auger, or by disconnecting the trap from the drain line and digging out the refuse deposited in it. All of these procedures have been time-consuming and frequently have required the services of a plumber when the householder has been unable to unclog the drain sufficiently.
It is a principal object of the present invention to remove refuse from water draining from a plumbing fixture at a location adjacent to such fixture and prior to the drainage water reaching the trap in the fixture drain line.
Another object is to enable the refuse removed from drainage water adjacent to a plumbing fixture to be removed from the drain line quickly and easily.
A further object is to enable the refuse removed from the drainage water at a location adjacent to a plumbing fixture to be removed from the drain line without requiring the use of tools except for such tools as may be required to remove a strainer at the entrance to the drainpipe.
Another object is to control the flow of water draining from a plumbing fixture so as to promote the removal of refuse from such drainage water at a predetermined location.
The foregoing objects can be accomplished by locating a refuse-collecting insert in the drainpipe adjacent to a plumbing fixture, which insert can be removed readily from the drainpipe by withdrawing it into the plumbing fixture.
FIG. 1 is a top perspective of a refuse-collecting insert in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a side elevation of the refuse-collecting insert;
FIG. 3 is a transverse section through the refuse-collecting insert taken on line 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal section through a drain and a portion of a plumbing fixture showing the insert in side elevation installed in the drainpipe;
FIG. 5 is a vertical section through a portion of a drainpipe and a plumbing fixture of a type different from that shown in FIG. 4 and showing the refuse-collecting insert in side elevation installed in such drainpipe.
In plumbing systems, waste water is discharged from a plumbing fixture P through a drainpipe D leading downward from the fixture. The fixture may be a shower stall, a bathtub, a washbowl or a kitchen sink. It is customary for the drainpipe D to have in it a P-trap located a short distance from the fixture which takes the form of a return bend with the bend below the ends of the bend, i.e., the intake end of the bend opens upwardly and is connected to the fixture drain D as shown in FIG. 4 and the other end of the return bend leads to the outlet of the P-trap. Such bend forms a seal containing drainage water to prevent escape of sewer gas into the building through the drainpipe. The turbulence created by flow of drainage water through the P-trap tends to cause refuse carried by the drainage water to be precipitated out of the drainage water and to collect in the P-trap. When sufficient refuse has collected in the P-trap to clog it or substantially clog it, action is required to unclog the trap or to reduce the clog in the trap.
Traps in drainpipes connected to a shower stall or bathtub are more prone to become clogged than traps in drainpipes from other fixtures because the refuse carried by the waste water is principally body hair which tends to collect soap and grease so as eventually to form a plug. Customary procedures for unplugging the drainpipe include use of solvents for dissolving the soap and grease or mechanical devices such as a plumber's snake or an auger to ream out a passage through the plug. Sometimes the plug can be forced through the trap into the drainpipe leading to the sewer by applying hydraulic pressure to the plug by the use of a plunger which is a rubber suction cup attached to a wooden handle to free plumbing traps of minor obstructions. In extreme cases it may be necessary to remove the P-trap from the drainpipe so that it can be cleaned out by direct probing and scraping.
The purpose of the present invention is to deter the clogging of P-traps by relocating the location at which refuse is removed from drainage water. Such location is between the drain opening from the plumbing fixture and the P-trap and adjacent to the plumbing fixture. Such refuse removal location is established by lodging in the drainpipe a refuse collector in the form of a substantially open coil or helix, that is, the adjacent convolutions of the coil are spaced apart axially a considerable distance. Preferably the strip 2 of which such coil is made is of rectangular cross section as shown in FIG. 3 rather than being of circular cross section.
One end of the helical coil terminates in a hook 3, which end can be the upper end of the insert when lodged in a drainpipe. Such hook can be engaged by a loop or another hook enabling the insert to be pulled upward out of the drainpipe into the plumbing fixture. The other end of the coil insert strip can be formed as a return bent tip 4 located generally centrally of such coil end.
The generally helical coil is not precisely cylindrical but is double-tapered toward its opposite ends from the bulge 5 located axially generally centrally of the coil and has an empty interior hollow. It is preferred that the bulge 5 be located somewhat closer to the end of the coil carrying the hook 3 to provide a shorter generally frustoconical upwardly tapered tapered section 6. The portion of the coil between the bulge 5 and the return bent tip 4 carried by the other end of the coil also is preferably frustoconical to provide a longer downwardly tapered coil section 7. The combined lengths of the upwardly tapered coil section 6 and of the downwardly tapered coil section 7 constitute the major portion of the length of the coil as shown in FIG. 2.
The degree of taper of the shorter tapered section 6 and of the longer tapered section 7 preferably is such with respect to the radial width of the strip 2 forming the coil that the convolutions of the coil are in partially radially overlapping or edge-overlapping relationship so that the coil has only a very limited linear passage through its central portion as shown in the sectional view of FIG. 3.
The cross-section size of drainpipe plumbing fixtures is rather standard, usually having an internal diameter of 11/4 inches. The insert 1 should be made of a size enabling its bulge 5 to fit snugly in the drainpipe D with a friction fit so that the flow of waste water will not be able to wash the insert down the drainpipe after it has been set in its desired location.
Because the coil convolutions 8 overlap radially to limit linear flow through the insert, the waste water flows principally along the outer side of the upper tapered section 6 and then into the interior hollow of the insert through the spaces between the coil convolutions until the drain water has passed the bulge 5. Then the drain water will flow principally out of the interior hollow of the insert through the spaces between the coil convolutions in the tapered lower section 7. The resulting sinuous flow and the turbulence which such flow creates will promote the entanglement of refuse, particularly hair, in the convolutions of first the upwardly tapered section 6 and then of the downwardly tapered section 8 of the coil 1 to remove such refuse from the drainage water.
The flow of drainage water through the drainpipe tends to maintain at least a small opening for passage of the water through the coil insert. The opening through the lower end of such insert will tend to clog first and, when the flow of drainage water becomes too restricted, it is a comparatively simple matter to remove the screen over the drain outlet from the plumbing fixture, if any, engage the hook 3 of the insert with a loop or a hook and apply a pull on the insert for removing it upward out of the drainpipe into the plumbing fixture. The refuse, principally hair and grease and soap collected on the insert, can be removed from the spaces between the coil convolutions quite easily. The cleaned insert can then be pushed back down through the drain opening to its desired location for again collecting refuse removed from the drainage water before it reaches the P-trap.
FIG. 4 shows a relatively long coupling between the plumbing fixture P and the P-trap, and FIG. 5 shows an elbow in the drainpipe close-coupled to the plumbing fixture. The helical coil insert is sufficiently bendable so that it can be inserted around the bend of the drainpipe elbow as shown in FIG. 5 to be lodged in such elbow upstream from the P-trap.

Heavy Rain and Hail Hit Parts of the Borderland
Thursday, July 15, 2010 - 9:39pm
Another big story we're following tonight: severe weather. Sheets of rain came down this evening in Las Cruces. One of our viewers, Tim Eason, recorded this video just outside his home. The storm quickly moved in. It flooded streets and the strong wind brought down several things including trash cans. Pea size hail also pelted the area.

Is it also true that there is no time but the present? According to presentism, the present time is special in the most fundamental sense because all of reality is included in it. What is past is no longer; what is future is yet to be. This philosophy of time, with roots as far back as Saint Augustine and beyond, is the focus of vigorous and widespread discussion in contemporary philosophy. Presentism: Essential Readings brings together for the first time the seminal works by both presentists and their opponents. Works by Augustine, McTaggart, Prior, Craig and others, address a wide array of issues concerning presentism. How can time pass if everything is present? Is there no future to come to the present; nor a past to receive the present? How can there be truths about the past? Generally a statement is true because of events in reality. But if presentism is correct, then the past would seem to lack a basis in reality. If only the present is real, how can things last? To persist seems to require that something exist at more than one time, but presentism holds that there is only one time: the present. The collected essays on presentism address these and other aspects of the debate—a debate that is just beginning. With explanatory introductions written by the editors, Presentism: Essential Essays will fascinate and stretch the minds of both scholars and novices alike.

Opening of £9.8m Centre for Global Eco-Innovation
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Entrepreneur and former Science Minister Lord Drayson of Kensington says a new £9.8m Centre for Global Eco-Innovation is at the forefront of a green technological revolution.
He was speaking as he opened the new centre at the Bridgwater Hall in Manchester. The centre, part financed by the European Regional Development Fund, is a joint initiative between Lancaster University, the University of Liverpool and Inventya Ltd to develop eco-innovative products and services.
Lord Drayson said: "I'm delighted to see Lancaster and Liverpool, two of our top research universities, working with Inventya Ltd in the vanguard of this green technological revolution. We have the brains, the science and the technology to lead this green tech revolution and I'm convinced that the scientists, technologists and entrepreneurs in this room will achieve great things through working together over the next few years."
He said the Centre for Global Eco-Innovation would address the defining challenges of the 21st century.
"We're consuming 25 per cent more resources than our planet can support and CO2 levels are rising. We have to offer people an attractive accessible low carbon future and it's vital that business leaders invest in the work by academics and the scientific community to find a solution to these challenges.
"The UK is ranked 6th in the world in this sector and we need to see low carbon not as a threat to recovery but as a driver of recovery."
Video overview of the Centre for Global Eco-Innovation
The launch event was attended by the Vice Chancellor of Lancaster University Professor Mark E. Smith, the Director of Partnerships and Innovation at the University of Liverpool John Flamson, the Co-Directors of the centre Dr Mark Bacon and Dion Williams and over 250 leading experts in eco-innovation, graduates, businesses, and national public and private organisations.
Four North West businesses have already gained more than £3m worth of grants and investment after working with the centre, which is now looking for over 200 more North West companies to be supported in the development and commercialisation of new eco-innovative products and services.
This support may be in the form of three to six month research projects with Lancaster University or the University of Liverpool, or through free support from innovation consultancy Inventya Ltd.
In addition, 50 SMEs have been recruited and matched with 50 of the UK's brightest graduates who will complete three year research and development projects for the business and use these as the basis of a PhD programme of research.

Set was good, most of the cast was good, the 12 year old held up through the whole show. the guy who played the cat was amazing. But could not understand ~ 30% of the lyrics even in the 2nd row. this was a preview so I hope it gets better!

Poor bored Coraline. She's left to rattle 'round her perpetually distracted, workaholic parents' house all by her lonesome. But late one night, her dreams of a better reality come true as she opens a big, carved, wooden door at the far end of the drawing room and passes into a perfect replica of her own world. When she's greeted there by a vastly loving Other Mother and a kindly Other Father, she's thrilled! But as the rats start to creep from the floorboards, and the way home becomes increasingly unclear, Coraline begins to suspect that, perhaps all is not as perfect as it seems…

Court tosses felony wiretap conviction in taping of Manchester police captain, high school officials
Mueller, 31, formerly of Jackson, Wis., but now residing in Laconia, was convicted of secretly recording telephone conversations he had with a Manchester police captain, the Manchester West High School principal and her assistant in 2011 and spent three months in jail.
He was seeking their comments on a video he posted on YouTube that showed a confrontation between West High student Frank Harrington III, 17, and police detective Darren Murphy in the school's cafeteria. Harrington was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Murphy was recorded roughly pushing Harrington down onto a cafeteria table. A police department internal review concluded Murphy did not use excessive force.
Mueller, a Free Stater who goes by the name "Ademo Freeman," posted the telephone recordings online. Police learned of them when Mueller mentioned them on a local radio show and acknowledged he did not tell Capt. Jonathan Hopkins, then West High School principal Mary Ellen McGorry, or her assistant Denise Michael that he had recorded the conversations.
The Supreme Court, in its decision released Tuesday, said Hillsborough County Superior Court Judge Kenneth C. Brown erred when he instructed the jury that a violation of the felony wiretapping statute requires a mental state of "purposely," when the statute specifically identifies "wilfully" as the applicable mental state.
Under state law, "wilful" means the defendant must act with an intentional or reckless disregard for the lawfulness of his conduct. In other words, the defendant has not violated the law if he has a "good faith" belief his conduct was lawful, according to the unanimous decision written by Justice Robert J. Lynn.
The court said the erroneous instruction likely affected the outcome of the proceedings and to allow the convictions to stand "would seriously affect the fairness and integrity of judicial proceedings."

I encourage you to vote for Marcus Naylor to become a District Court judge.
I have known Marcus for 15 years and can attest to his integrity, wisdom and leadership. He is endorsed by the King County Democrats and Republicans — a rare feat — plus prosecutors, court staff and many judges, including the Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court. Marcus is also rated "Exceptionally Well Qualified" by the King County Bar Association.

Give generously to help cover gap in education funding
With the calendar officially turned to fall, many of us are back into the daily comfort of our children's school routine. There are morning buses to catch, lunches to pack, shoes to tie and backpacks to fasten.
School is a tie that binds us, and our neighborhoods, together. School and its activities are like a quilt that we all wrap around ourselves. But without our local Issaquah Schools Foundation, this quilt would be tattered and threadbare.

Stop the negative campaigning and distortions
I am writing to call on Congressman Dave Reichert's liberal opponent Jason Ritchie to stop the smear tactics.

Tiger Mountain
Closing the school will help the numbers, not the students
Closing Tiger Mountain Community High School during renovations and not creating a temporary home for the school would be a very grievous mistake. The students currently enrolled at Tiger Mountain are there because the conventional high school experience is detrimental to their learning experience. Sending them to a regular high school for even a year will cause them great suffering and hardship.
