One Levy County teacher is speaking up in saying that the school board is not following the Florida code of ethics for education.
"A culture of intimidation and fear of retaliation exists in Levy County schools," said Chiefland Middle High School eighth grade US History teacher Jerry Lawrence during the public comment section of a school board meeting on Tuesday morning.
Williston's Board of Adjustment and Code Enforcement is continuing in its efforts to clean up the city. At a meeting Monday night, the board found several existing cases, along with two new ones, guilty of noncompliance to the city's codes.
A special exception permit to allow the expansion of sand pit mining on 295 acres of land that touches on State Road 121 south of Williston was approved unanimously by the Levy County Commission on Tuesday.
That was despite one complaint from a resident that trucks in the current operation do not stop before entering SR 121 and letters from some residents to the county Planning Commission opposing the project. One opponent said he wants to sell his property.

• Nov. 12, Edwin Alexander Aguilar-Siciliano, 29, Chiefland, no DL. ROR
• Nov. 15, Shannon Brown, 36, Old Town, trespassing, retail theft. Bond $4,000.
• Nov. 13, Kenneth John Bullard, 34, Jasper, VOP.

• Nov. 13, Kurtis Lorenzo Daniels, 29, Bronson, battery. Bond $15,000.
To the editor:
What a great asset you have in the fledgling Williston Community Theater. Having attended the first weekend of their third show I was quite pleased with the wonderful production - the kids especially did a great job.
Besides the entertainment value the theater will be giving kids a place to show off their talents in the performing arts as well as learn about other opportunities for career choices out there in the big wide world.
Go Williston!

GSOC bugging? Move along....Nothing to see here. Trust your government and the Gardai
national | crime and justice | feature Saturday February 15, 2014 02:20 by fred
Motive of bugging: Investigation by GSOC into high level corruption with Garda and State with Drug Crime
It was suspected that offices of the GSOC (garda siochana ombudsman commission) were being bugged. Shrouded in secrecy, they brought in specialists from the UK under advice from their equivalent body in the UK, the IPCC. These specialists did a high tech sweep of their offices under cover of darkness and a report was created which suggests that it was extremely likely that highly sophisticated bugging of the office had occurred. Government and high ranking gardai have closed ranks and are trying to spin this as a problem with GSOC instead of addressing the strong possibility that GSOC was bugged and who would want to do that and have access to do so except the gardai themselves. If true this is a grave issue. It is believed in some circles that this bugging may be related to investigations by GSOC into the case of large scale heroin importer Boylan who it is alleged has been working with gardai and has "magically" evaded conviction in the face of overwhelming evidence of trafficking huge amounts of drugs. This affair may go right to the top and has the potential to sink this government
External Links: Black Ops Being Run Off The Books | The Gardaí And The Drug Dealer | The Appalling Vista | PoliticalWorld.org thread on GSOC preparing report on drug case collusion | IMSI-Catcher | Court Report On rape-tape Sergeant Being Awarded 33,0000 | Garda shell booze controversy airs at Belmullet court | Sullivan: Ombudsman investigation 'about protecting Gardaí' | Jail! | gardai denigration of McKenna funeral must be condemned | Release of Garda exposes Corrupt Two - Tier 'Justice' System | Students Occupy Department Of Finance | 600 March Against Garda Violence at Student Demo Last Week. | An Undercurrent of Malpractice and Deceit | Lies, Lies And More Lies - Garda Corruption Systemic | The ministry of injustice, administering injustice near you sometime soon | The McBrearty Tapes | Terence wheelock case - interview with family member | Another death caused by Garda Hospitality? - The parents of John Moloney demand an independent inquiry
This whole storm arose from an article by John Mooney in the sunday times which seems to have originated from a leaked document from GSOC.
Kieran Boylan fidgeted nervously as he took possession of a drug shipment in the yard of his trucking firm in Ardee, Co Louth. It was October 6, 2005, and members of the Garda National Drugs Unit (GNDU) watched from a safe distance as the truck driver went about his business. Minutes later, Boylan was caught with heroin and cocaine worth 1.7m.
Here is another transcript from Late Debate quoted from Broadsheet.ie from their article today:
Last night Mr Mooney, who broke the GSOC bugging story last Sunday; Padraig MacLochlainn, Sinn Féin Donegal TD; Michelle Mulherin, Fine Gael Mayo TD; and Mark Kelly, director of the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, appeared on RTÉs Late Debate with Audrey Carville last night to talk about the story.
Full radio show is available here but probably only for a week or two more:
The late debate episode 12-02-2014 with John Mooney and others
Broadsheet.ie have covered the GSOC case and posted this transcript of a previous interview between John Mooney and Fergal Keane on RTE's late debate, one of the few shows to run with this story early on.:
Fergal Keane: John Mooney, this is some pretty extraordinary statements there by the Garda Ombudsman who were there given oversight of the gardaí, saying the gardaí didnt cooperate with them, didnt give them information. Its an incredible state of affairs. And very, very serious?
You can read the full transcript at the broadsheet.ie link provided.
It will be interesting to see how deep the rabbit hole goes on this one. Mr Alan Shatter was on RTE "prime time" tonight denying any hard evidence that GSOC had been bugged and spinning desperately.
This has the potential to be politically explosive so we can expect more dail confrontations such as the one by Mary Lou McDonald below.
I'm making lots of popcorn! :-)
Caption: Mary Lou gets stuck in. Usual Guff from Gilmore.

Global freshwater resources: quantity and distribution by region
Glaciers and icecaps contain approximately 70% of the world's freshwater, but groundwater is by far the most abundant and readily available source of freshwater. This graphic illustrates the quantity (in cubic kilometres) and distribution of the world's freshwater resources in glaciers and permanent ice caps, in groundwater, and in wetlands, large lakes, reservoirs and rivers. Further information is given in the accompanying text.

Alkalinity in major rivers
This graphic shows the average bicarbonate concentrations, in milligrams per litre, at major river mouths for the time periods 1976 to 1990 and 1991 to 2000. The graphic also shows the changes in average bicarbonate levels between these two time periods. Bicarbonate is an indication of the alkalinity in the rivers which reflects the geology (rock, minerals, sand) and increases the buffering capacity, but can also increase the risk of eutrophicati...

Regional trends in freshwater alkalinity
Alkalinity (as CaCO3) was analysed for all sampling stations available at the continental level. Concentrations remained reasonably steady between the two decades for Africa, Asia, South America and Australasia. Significant increases in alkalinity concentrations were noted for European and North American rivers, which may indicate a shift towards reduced acidic impacts at the continental scale.

Long-term variations in river flow, by continent
River runoff is cyclical in nature, with alternating cycles of wet and dry years. Significant deviations from average values differ in duration and magnitude. For example, 1940-44, 1965-68 and 1977-79 are clearly low periods in terms of total runoff from the world's rivers. During these periods, the runoff was estimated at 1 600-2 900 km3 below the average value. By contrast, 1926-27, 1949-52 and 1973-75 saw much greater levels of river runoff (S...

The US Department of Justice and five States have declared themselves satisfied with the antitrust enforcement efforts taken against Microsoft despite a further seven States maintaining they have had 'little or no discernible impact in the marketplace.'
The final judgments handed down against Microsoft in 2002 after it was founding guilty of abusing its monopoly position are due to expire in July this year, prompting the US District Court for the District of Columbia to ask interest parties for their thoughts on the impact of the enforcement efforts.

When Setting Goals For Your Site, Shoot For the…Industry Benchmark !?
Posted By Persuasion Architects On July 27, 2005 @ 12:20 am In Conversion Rates | 1 Comment
"Hey John, did you see our conversion rate is 1.71%!"
"Woooooohoooooooo, I just saw on the Fireclick index [1] that everyone dropped to an average conversion rate of 1.50%"
"Those poor suckers"
"Let's break out the Dom and celebrate!"
When setting goals for your site's conversion rate I suppose you could look at the collective metrics [1] of your online peers, use these conversion rates as a benchmark, and celebrate if you happen to be doing better. But what if you are doing worse? Then you should look at these metrics as something you should aspire to, right? You could do that. Sure you could, but why would you? Here are the conversations most should be having…
"Hey John, did you see our conversion rate is 1.71%, we are losing 98.29% of our visitors!"
"Boooooohoooooooo, I just saw on the Fireclick index [1] that everyone dropped to an average of 1.50%"
"We all suck"
"Let's roll up our sleeves"
I know that is harsh, but someone has to be.
Celebrating this offensively low benchmark is like celebrating when your Corvette tops out at the 15 mph mark.
There are several reaons why online conversion rate apathy abounds. First, many sites are making boxes of money, big boxes. Second, some of the money in those boxes is labeled PROFIT. Third, it is hard to miss something you never had, that being the 98.50% of visitors that never converted. Also consider that those 98.50% of people don't LOOK like people, they usually just show up as bar or a pie slice on metrics software.
But still that 98.50% worth of missed opportunities has got to be bothering someone. Anyone?
I know it bothers all of us at Future Now.
When we take on a new client we often calculate what their conversion rate should be [2]. Some sites should be converting at 50% or more, others in the 20-40%, almost all should be converting in the low double digits.
So next time you set conversion rate goals, do me solid.Set your bar a wee bit higher than the online benchmark. And if your are still chicken to set it for a 20-50% conversion rate, then you can even set it at a less intimidating number.
How about aspiring to lose only 90% of your visitors?

In An international development policy that works: Why the Conservative Party should rethink its commitment to development aid Sam Bowman argues that the UK Conservatives have failed to propose the radical policy overhaul needed to make the Department for International Development (DFID) an effective body. He suggests scrapping the pledge to spend 0.7% of national GDP on international development aid each year, and focusing instead on private donations, economic migration and unilateral tariff reduction.

When you buy this kind of chocolate, you should wrap it well and store in a cool spot that's also dry. Here's what else you should do.
* You do not need to put chocolate in the refrigerator, just keep it away from light, heat or strong odors because they can negatively affect it. Don't keep it next to the stove.
* Chocolate of this type should last for about a year, but if it's texture or flavor seems different, time to throw it out.

How to make BIBBLE
I love watching Victorious (actually every Dan Schreider show), and in one of the episodes (Tori goes platinum) Cat has an obsession with a British snack called Bibble. It looks kinda like popcorn and I'd thought I would try it.
I searched online if I could find something like it, but I only found a few pictures of colored popcorn. But nothing that was actually called 'bibble'.
So I tried to figure out how the stuff they used on the show was made. I found somewhere Ariana Grande said "It tastes like caramel popcorn with chocolate and sprinkles and vanilla and pink stuff on it! I don't know what the pink stuff is but it's truly delicious.. I couldn't stop eating it while we were filming... I had a real life bibble addiction as well as a fake one hehe."
So today I tried to make it.
I used sweet popcorn, white chocolate, red candymelts and pink colored sugar.
On the pictures most of the Bibble was white, and there were some pink and a few were a bit purplish. I decided to just go with white and pink.
I started with the white batch, I used a bag of about 4,5 ounces. For the white part I used about 3/4 of the bag. Then I melted the chocolate, I used one 3,5 ounce bar. Put the chocolate over the popcorn, make sure to save some melted chocolate for the pink part. Just mix it with the popcorn till it's coated. When all the popcorn is coated spread it out on some waxed paper to let it cool, put it in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling. While that's cooling you can prepare the pink batch. Take the other 1/4 of the popcorn, and the left over melted chocolate. Add a few red or pink candymelts to the white chocolate and melt it again. Mix the popcorn and the chocolate mixture and spread it out on waxed paper. You can add some sprinkles or colored sugar while the chocolate is still wet. When everything is dry you maybe have to break some pieces apart who have stuck together. Then you can finish it of by putting it in a little bag, I also added a label from 'barney's Bibble' i found on the Internet.
I hope you'll like it

when i went to the nickelodeon studion in hollywood they had real bibble, actually it was sour colored popcorn, but yes, theres a small bar there with all kinds of food thats in nick shows.BeantwoordenVerwijderen
It is likely that the color pink, in the original Bibble will be given with the Alchermes: is a liquor typically used in desserts, just to give a pink color and a heady flavor that can be addictive (I say this from personal experience. In Italy we have sweets called "peaches", consist of a sweet dough with chocolate inside. dough the outside is covered with Alchermes, to have the appearance of small peaches ... Eat all one and you just can not stop !)BeantwoordenVerwijderen
I have a bibble problem cant stop eating it hmmmBeantwoordenVerwijderen

by Dan Soeder |
We arrived in San Francisco the Friday of Labor Day weekend, a week before the Summit, so we could spend time in Yosemite National Park and the Sierra Nevada mountains. My wife, Susan, had never been there before, and my last visit to Yosemite had been an all too-brief day trip seven years earlier.
We camped in the park for several days with Matt and Anne Urban, our friends from Delaware. Matt is the chair of the Sierra Club Delaware Chapter, as well as a member of the club's national Organizational Effectiveness Committee. He is also a professional video producer, and was in the process of finalizing a new travel video on Yosemite, which he had been developing for the past year. We couldn't have been in the park with a more knowledgeable person.
We visited many of the sites made popular by John Muir, including several spectacular waterfalls and the awesome granite walls of El Capitan and Half Dome. Matt and I rafted the cold, clear waters of the Merced River through the park, and made an evening trip with our wives up to Glacier Point, a magnificent valley overlook where the famous photograph of John Muir standing with Theodore Roosevelt was taken.
The stars came out on a clear, moonless night, and at an altitude of 8,000 feet, far from city lights with the Milky Way nearly overhead, the sky was simply ablaze in glory. It was one of the most amazing sights I've ever seen.
On our last day, we visited historic campsites along the Tuolumne River in the high meadows above Yosemite Valley where Sierra Club outings occurred in the early days. The legendary William Colby led the first of these "High Trips" in the summer of 1901, followed by one every summer thereafter for the next 29 years, bringing hundreds of people into the High Sierra so they could, as John Muir said, "climb the mountains and get their good tidings." As an outings leader from the East Coast who gets to these locations far too infrequently, having the opportunity to walk these trails and see the same sights that awed the early Sierra Club members nearly moved me to tears.
Back to the City and the Summit
Thus inspired, we returned to San Francisco for the Summit. The most striking thing I noticed was the incredible variety of Sierra Club people. With 700 voting representatives, and hundreds of others in attendance, it was a potpourri of club membership. I discovered early on that we are not so different from chapter to chapter, or group to group. United by a passion for the environment, distrustful of the easy answers and bland reassurances of authority, and not shy about speaking out, well, let's face it; Sierra Club people are usually pretty easy to spot. Without the intention of promulgating any stereotypes, some common character traits could be observed.
Prominent among the crowds were what I think of as the wise graybeards, older men filled with facts on one issue or another, patiently explaining their views to all who stop long enough to listen, speaking out in public forums, and passing out literature filled with "Great Ideas" And, yes, some even have beards that would shame Santa Claus. These are the Marc Imlays, Charlie Garlows, and Ed Stennetts of our Maryland chapter, and their intelligence and expertise lends a huge amount of credibility to club issues.
One wise graybeard sitting in the back of the meeting room quietly handed me a sheaf of literature with a proposal to dismantle and completely revise the entire American voting process. No one can accuse these guys of thinking small!
Then there are the women of substance. These also are, generally, older ladies, with manes of silver, years of experience, and a no-nonsense attitude that dares corporate spokespersons to try, just try, to soothe them with simple platitudes. These women go to every public hearing, demand explanations and accountability from local governments, condemn greedy and cozy corporate-government relationships, never go away, and never, ever quit until people recognize the benefits to society of long-term conservation over short-term profit. Corporate types derisively call these determined women "little old ladies in tennis shoes." I say we should hijack the derogatory term, update it to "little old ladies in tennis/athletic shoes" to cover all types of footwear, and call them LOLITAS for short, with a great deal of pride.
One of my favorite LOLITAS, Til Purnell from Delaware, got an award at the Summit for her lifetime conservation achievements. She has saved many miles of Delaware beach and bay coastal areas and wetlands over the years by challenging development in sensitive coastal zones with nothing more than common sense, a sharp wit, and a bunch of questions. I have been to hearings with Til, and she is, without a doubt, the one person that developers, county council members, state regulators, and the feds absolutely dread to see in the room. Til has been magnificent for many years as a huge pain in the coastal developer's backside, and I'm happy that she got the award.
Another of my favorite LOLITAS, Maryland's own Bonnie Bick, was a featured presenter at one of the Summit activist sessions, called "Old Timers and Young Guns." The session was designed to show what energetic young people could learn from the oldsters, but Bonnie claimed that while she might not be a "young gun" any more, she was still functional as an "old gun," with quite a bit of ammo. The kids loved her. My middle-aged wife told Bonnie she wants to be just like her when she grows up.
The rest of the attendees were a mix of professionals, non-professionals, scientists, lawyers, artists, concerned parents, doctors, teachers and many others representing a broad spectrum of society. The club truly does touch many lives at many levels.
The Presence of Youth
It was good to see the many younger members in attendance, and many of them were fired up and ready to change the world—a feeling I remember from the mid-1970s when I was in college. I was glad to see that some of today's college students still care about something bigger than themselves.
There's never a lack of criticism from "older" people about the younger generation, who "only want to party" or are "too driven" to be successful; college seems little more to them than a training ground to learn how to be wealthy corporate business people. I always thought college was where you learned not necessarily what to think, but how to think.
The Maryland Chapter is my first real experience working with younger activists; sadly, because of a falling-out with the Sierra Student Coalition in Delaware, there were few young people involved in the chapter when I was there. These kids at the Summit were concerned, focused and knowledgeable, and they were prepared to do whatever it takes to change the system. Back in my day, I suppose, we would have been rallying at the barricades, or marching in a demonstration, or having a sit-in, or maybe even a be-in, whatever that was.
I think the kids today are smarter than we were, stealthier, and more effective as activists. They know how to rush the barricades if needed (remember the WTO and NAFTA protests?), but they mostly try to work within the system, or maybe around the system, instead of going straight at it head-on. Confronting "the man" just doesn't work well when you're a minority in a society where someone can use a law ironically called the "Patriot Act" to arrest you as a threat to homeland security.
On the second or third night of the Summit, the under-30 crowd decided to meet at a local watering hole to network with each other. Solely through the use of cell phone pagers, text messages, signs on bulletin boards, and word-of-mouth, more than a hundred of these kids got together with less than three hours' notice. Even Lisa Renstrom, the club president, mentioned in her speech the next morning that she was impressed with this ability to organize. Imagine if this had been for a political rally, or a protest against illegal dumping. The ability to get a large number of people to gather someplace quickly is an amazing talent of the younger generation, and I think it is one of their strengths.
We debated a lot and voted on new directions for Club policy. Being the Sierra Club, we accepted nothing, questioned everything, debated on how to debate, and then voted on how to vote (oh, yes, we really did). Things got a little behind schedule. One of the organizers said it was populist democracy but, to me, it was messy, a bit over-blown, no one really seemed to be driving the bus, and there were a few people who could have done us all a favor (and saved boodles of time) by keeping their opinions to themselves. But we got it done, and the Club leaders have heard us.
A Champion of the Cause
Al Gore gave a speech that was just terrific. Organizers tried to get him for the Summit early on, but his calendar was booked. He was actually scheduled to give a speech that day to the 50 state insurance commissioners on the hazards of global warming. Ironically, the hazards' speech was supposed to be in New Orleans, but Gore's trip was pre-empted by the Hurricane Katrina disaster. So he had an open spot in his schedule, and came to talk to us instead.
Gore is without a doubt a champion of the environment. He has great ideas, and a wonderful delivery. None of the stiffness or lack of warmth noted by many during his campaign was apparent, and he appeared relaxed, confident and funny. Yes, Al Gore can be funny! He is also wickedly efficient at taking down the arrogant and incompetent members of the Bush administration.
Several people commented afterward that if he had spoken like that during the campaign, he would have won. Others pointed out that he actually did win, but Bush became president by Supreme Court decree.
An Eye to the Future
The exhibits ranged from interesting to fascinating. Honda brought their hydrogen-fueled vehicle for people to test drive. It uses H-powered fuel cells and works pretty well, although the range of 60 miles is a bit short. Also it's hard to get hydrogen fuel, and the prototype model cost a million dollars to develop, putting it just a bit out of my price range. Honda and Toyota had some of their new hybrids on display, as did Ford/Mercury. Ford is producing a hybrid version of the Escape that gets 30 MPG—an SUV with better gas mileage than my car! I think I've found my next vehicle.
Other exhibits showcased environmentally friendly building materials, including sustainable "hardwood" flooring made from bamboo; kitchen countertops similar to Corian, but made of crushed, recycled glass imbedded in resin; and a solar cooker for third-world countries that consists of a simple, fold-out metal mirror about a meter across to focus sunlight on a pot of water. The inventor (from Rockville, Maryland) claimed that a tropical sun would boil the water in less than 10 minutes. The solar cooker is designed to reduce dependence on scarce and expensive firewood in poor countries, but it looked slick enough to take camping on the Appalachian Trail.
The Sierra Club also had a host of exhibits covering many of the club activities. The Outdoor Activities Governance Committee held a reception at the outings booth, where I had the honor of announcing the winner of the outings identifier contest that the Group and Chapter Outings Committee had been running over the summer. We have a beautiful patch design to distribute to outings leaders to recognize them for their hard work, and also to help outings participants find them at the trailhead.
We enjoyed the Summit and we enjoyed San Francisco. Susan and I met up with some of the Maryland Chapter people for dinner in Chinatown one night. We ordered a bunch of things off the menu at the suggestion of the waiter, with little idea of what we were getting, but it was all good and a lot of fun. It was the Festival of the Autumn Moon in Chinatown that weekend, and there were dragon dancers, musicians, special food, and many people.
Susan and I did a lot of walking; there is so much to see and do in San Francisco that I think we hiked more in the city than we did in Yosemite! We ended up walking down to Fisherman's Wharf from Nob Hill the last day, watched them make sourdough, had dinner in the Buena Vista Café (that's Spanish for good view…it looks out on the Golden Gate), and rode the Powell Street cable car back to our hotel. I think we accomplished a lot, and I hope the club will hold more meetings like this in the future on a regular basis. n

The 2011 annual report of the National Audit of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) highlights the significant progress within hospitals to expand PCI services to treat more patients with acute coronary syndromes.
PCI mechanically improves blood flow to the heart and can be used to relieve the symptoms of angina, prevent and treat heart attacks. When used to treat heart attack patients, the procedure is called primary PCI. Commissioned and funded by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership, the National Audit of PCI is clinically led by the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society and managed by the National Institute for Cardiovascular Outcomes Research.
Key findings include:
Whilst overall access to PCI and primary PCI has improved there remain large differences between the countries of the United Kingdom.
For overall PCI rates per million population, Wales has the lowest rates at 1170 pmp and Northern Ireland the highest (1751 pmp). The PCI activity for England is 1395 pmp. For primary PCI England had the highest rates at 362 pmp and N Ireland the lowest (158 pmp). The differences between cardiac networks and countries are shown in the graphic.
The report collected data on 88,692 PCI procedures from 97 NHS PCI centres and 7 private hospitals between January and December 2011.
Peter Ludman, Consultant Cardiologist and Clinical Lead of the national audit said: "One of the key steps to maintaining and improving high quality treatment is measuring what you are doing. It is a great tribute to all PCI centres in the UK that they are dedicated to providing detailed information about the procedures they carry out, so that the information can be collated and analysed at a National level. These data provide considerable insight into the practice of PCI, showing not only how practice is evolving over the years, but also how different units compare with each other and how the UK compares with other countries".
Professor Huon Gray, Interim National Clinical Director for Heart Disease, Department of Health England said: "I congratulate all those who have worked so hard to collect these excellent data, and particularly pay tribute to the expert work of Dr Peter Ludman in producing such comprehensive analyses each year. The information this report generates is invaluable to all those involved in planning, managing and delivering PCI services."
The full report will be published on the NICOR website on Tuesday 29th January 2013.

The Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) is led by a consortium of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, the Royal College of Nursing and National Voices. Its aim is to promote quality improvement, and in particular to increase the impact that clinical audit has on healthcare quality in England and Wales. HQIP hosts the contract to manage and develop the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP). Their purpose is to engage clinicians across England and Wales in systematic evaluation of their clinical practice against standards and to support and encourage improvement in the quality of treatment and care. The programme comprises more than 30 clinical audits that cover care provided to people with a wide range of medical, surgical and mental health conditions.

124cc, 9.7bhp, 62mph, Insurance group
The LSM125 is perfectly capable 125cc supermoto, fine for a couple of years use before moving on to a bigger bike.It does everything as you'd expect, it's just not a very memorable bike.
1203cc, 100bhp, 133mph, Insurance group 14
The Buell XB12STT is a new, horny looking, supermoto-inspired derivative of the Buell XB12S Lightning and Buell XB12R Firebolt series is probably the most fun Buell motorcycle yet. Great looks, a stumpy and sharp chassis plus the familiarly grunty 1203cc Harley-Davidson derived engine add up to motorcycle that's great to hoon about out. The Buell XB12STT suffers from limited practicality and ...
125cc, 15bhp, 70mph, Insurance group 7
The Sachs X-Road 125 is a one-of-a-kind. Styled like a supermoto with wide 17-inch rims, excellent brakes and red painted tubular steel frame it's also got an underseat silencer and comes with aggressive-looking and grippy 'wet'-style tyres. The handling is extremely good, but the gearing is odd and it's quite vibey.
748cc, 123bhp, 165mph, Insurance group 16
The Kawasaki ZX-7R is proof that a motorcycle doesn't have to be the latest, lightest and most powerful to be popular. The Kawasaki ZX-7R was no match for Suzuki's GSX-R750 when launched in 1996 and was never updated significantly until it was deleted in 2003. But people love them and bought the Kawasaki ZX-7R because it looked great and they're ...
498cc, 48bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 8
The Kawasaki ER-5 has a straightforward parallel-twin middleweight commuter that's as easy to use as a pair of pants. As a cheap workhorse you won't find much wrong with the Kawasaki ER-5 - providing your expectations don't go beyond simply getting from A to B.
904cc, 80bhp, 140mph, Insurance group 14
Real retro sports motorcycle that was outdated when new. If you're after all-out speed, practicality or reliability look elsewhere. If you want old school charm, a great twin cylinder sound track, stunning looks and handling to surprise the odd modern motorcycle the Ducati 900SS is worth a look.
738cc, 76bhp, 125mph, Insurance group 9
The Kawasaki Z1 was an awesome bike in its day, but the Zephyr 750/1100 tribute bike - like tribute bands - doesn't quite capture the lairy, dangerous essence of the original. The 750 is too soft, a bit underpowered and the 1100 is simply a lardbucket that makes a Bandit 1200 look like a sportbike.
636cc, 60bhp, 105mph, Insurance group 11
The CCM 640 comes in three versions – the 640 RS is a roadster with swoopy bodywork, there's a Dual Sport version with taller suspension and off-road wheels and then there's the more popular Supermoto, with more traditional, off-road style panels and numberboard-style front fairing. All that separates CCM's 640 machines from their 604-designated counterparts is a wider cylinder bore. ...
904cc, 68bhp, 128mph, Insurance group 11
On face value the Cagiva Elefant was born of an unlikely marriage, but the reality of mating up the (then Cagiva owned) Ducati V-twin with a monster trailie, desert racer type chassis proved something of a masterstroke let down only by poor build quality. The big Elefant (a 750 was also produced) was lively, handled fairly well and was even ...
748cc, 103bhp, 150mph, Insurance group 16
The Ducati 748 is nearly identical to the iconic Ducati 916 but with a smaller engine (and narrower rear wheel). That means sublime handling on smooth surfaces, terrible comfort, high running costs and a feel-good experience most other motorcycle can't touch. Even well over a decade on few motorcycles match the simple, gorgeous curves of the Ducati 748.

The much-loved musical follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he vows to organize – this despite the fact he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef.

The goal of this year's gala is to raise the funds to build the International Hope Center on ISOH/IMPACT's acreage on S. Wilkinson Way in Levis Commons. A matching the grant has been provided by The Diehl Family Foundation.
The new 15,282 sq. foot facility will double the capacity of the organization's current warehouse in Waterville, and will serve as the only dedicated distribution center for disaster relief aid in this community. A spacious sorting area, a more efficient warehouse space with loading docks, ample parking, medical services, offices and meeting rooms will create a hub where the community can gather, sort and pack supplies, train for upcoming missions, and distribute aid all from one convenient location. The center will serve as a model for similar centers around the world.

In 2011, there were 23 fatal crashes and 29 fatalities compared to 35 fatal crashes and 36 deaths in 2012. Four of the 36 fatalities were motorcyclists, nine were pedestrians, and two were bicyclists. Of the 36 fatalities, 30 were males and six were females.
According to program statistics, the number-one contributing circumstance in the fatal crashes was improper crossing, followed by drivers traveling left of center, a failure to yield and failure to control. Nine of the fatal crashes occurred on a Tuesday.
Fifty-two percent of the fatal crashes occurring within Lucas County in 2012 involved a driver under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the crash. Nationally and state-wide, about 32 percent of the fatal crashes involve an impaired driver.

Sixty-nine one- and two-bedroom apartments are being planned to house residents 55 years of age and over. Pete Schwiegeraht of the Miller-Valentine Group and Don Corley of WSOS Community Action Commission discussed the units, which would be handicapped-accessible, with open floor plans. The two-bedroom units will be about 900 square feet while the one-bedroom units will be about 700 square feet.
The development would include on-site management, a fitness center, laundry facility, activity/recreation center, parking and other amenities.
Rents will be about a maximum of $650 per month for a two bedroom and $575 for a one-bedroom. Renters with incomes up to 60 percent of Wood County's median household income would be eligible for these apartments.
In addition, WSOS will collaborate with the Wood County Commission on Aging and its Perrysburg Senior Center to provide services for the seniors who live in the development. Those services could include curb-to-curb transportation and home-delivered meals.

According to police, troopers attempted to stop a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am at about 12:25 a.m. for multiple traffic violations on Interstate 75 southbound near milepost 169, which is just north of North Baltimore in Wood County.
As the Trooper was attempting to stop the suspect's vehicle, the Bowling Green Dispatch Center received a transferred 911 call concerning the suspect's erratic driving. The suspect, Meganne L. McGill, age 22, of Oregon, Ohio, failed to stop for the trooper's emergency lights and siren, and a pursuit ensued.
McGill continued southbound on Interstate 75 into Hancock County at speeds in excess of 100 mph. According to Patrol reports, she nearly struck several commercial vehicles, and troopers deployed stop sticks, which the suspect was able to avoid.
McGill exited onto SR 12 westbound (Exit 157), and continued driving erratically, police said. Due to her extremely hazardous driving, troopers attempted a rolling roadblock. While attempting to bring the vehicle to a stop McGill's vehicle struck a patrol car, ending the pursuit. She was taken into custody without further incident. The pursuit lasted 12 minutes, covering approximately 16 miles.
McGill was not injured from the incident, and she was transported to the Bowling Green Patrol Post.
McGill, who had a prior OVI conviction in 2012, tested .249 BAC, which is more than three times the legal limit. She was charged with Felony Fleeing and Eluding, OVI, and reckless operation. She was subsequently incarcerated in the Wood County Justice Center pending her arraignment at Bowling Green Municipal Court.
None of the troopers involved were injured as a result of the incident, which remains under investigation.

The ASEC Trust Information Integrity Task Force is focused on updating and maintaining the Trust Services Principles and Criteria (TSPC) and creating a framework of principles and criteria to provide assurance on the integrity of information.
Trust Services are a set of professional attestation and advisory services based on a core set of principles and criteria that address the risks and opportunities of IT-enabled systems and privacy programs. The following principles and related criteria are used by practitioners in the performance of Trust Services engagements:
The TSPC of security, availability and processing integrity are used to evaluate whether a system is reliable. The TSPC can be found in the AICPA Technical Practice Aids Volume 1.
The Task Force has developed the SOC 2 Guide, Reporting on Controls at a Service Organization Relevant to the Security, Availability Processing Integrity, Confidentiality or Privacy of User Entities Information- An Application of the Trust Services Principles and Criteria. Learn more about Service Organization Control (SOC) reporting.
In conjunction with the with the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants the task force recently issued a white paper on Information Integrity. The purpose of the paper is to define what information integrity means and provide context for it for users and preparers of information and providers of assurance on such information. The white paper focuses on what it means for information to have integrity and how information integrity can be achieved and maintained.
