Can Frontier become an ultra-low-cost airline worth buying?
Is there room for another ultra-low-cost carrier like Spirit, which offers fares as low as $9 but charges plenty of extra fees — even to carry on a bag? Or like Allegiant Air, which will sell you a tour package along with your low fare?
Travelers may soon find out. As soon as this week, Republic Airways Holdings, which owns Frontier, may start searching for someone to buy the low-fare airline, or start the process to split it off as a separate company that follows the Spirit or Allegiant model.
Frontier is probably best known for the colorful animals on the tails of its planes and its loyal following in Denver. But it's been largely a money loser for Republic, a regional airline company that bought it roughly three years ago. And now, Bryan Bedford, Republic's CEO, says it wants to cut it loose.
TODAY IN THE SKY: Milwaukee, K.C. hubs lose out in Frontier shakeup
TODAY IN THE SKY: Frontier tries Orlando as it looks for growth opportunities
"The biggest challenge we've had is convincing our shareholders that it was a good investment," Bedford says, adding that Republic hopes to name an adviser in the next two weeks so the process of selling Frontier or making it a separate company can begin. "They didn't agree that long term these were two businesses meant to be together."
In the meantime, Bedford says, Republic is forging ahead with its strategy to make Frontier into a "more pure low-cost carrier" that offers cheap fares but charges for extras similar to Spirit and Allegiant, which define the "ultra-low-cost" space of air travel.
Frontier already offers passengers the chance to book some vacation packages, a hallmark of Allegiant. But unlike Allegiant and spare-frills Spirit, it doesn't charge for booking a trip by telephone. And Spirit takes extra fees a few steps further, charging travelers for carrying on a bag and even for having an airline worker print a boarding pass.
Frontier also differs from Spirit and Allegiant in that it offers reclining seats, round-the-clock satellite TV and extra legroom in its economy cabin, says Henry Harteveldt, airline and travel analyst at Atmosphere Research Group.
Service won't disappear as Frontier reshapes itself, Bedford says. "People understand Frontier stands for value," he says. "Generally, it's the lowest-cost ticket from point A to point B. But you've got comfort, live TV, terrific flight attendants and ground personnel. Unlike some, being a low-cost carrier doesn't necessarily mean less customer service."
Lindsey Carpenter, a Frontier spokeswoman, says the company will seek extra fees "where it makes sense," but not "to the point that Spirit has."
Some analysts say there's room for another ultra-low-cost carrier.
"Air travel is very expensive," Harteveldt says. "There are people who are … being priced out of traveling. So if Frontier can find a way to serve these customers, then there may be an opportunity for them to take business away from Spirit or Allegiant."
The move to charge fees for extra perks and for services that used to be bundled into the price of a ticket may make financial sense. Spirit and Allegiant have found profit using the model.
"All airlines are unbundling (fare prices) to some degree," says airline analyst Mike Boyd. "People will pay it. Why leave money on the table?"
Despite Frontier's strength in Denver, the airline doesn't have as large a network or the same frequency of flights as United and Southwest, which also count Denver as a stronghold, Harteveldt says. But there could be an opening as United completes its merger with Continental.
"If it pulls flights down in Denver, or the (United) merger doesn't go well and there are disappointed travelers, Frontier may have an opportunity to capture some of those customers," Harteveldt says. "Right now, the airline industry is a land grab, even though there's been a lot of consolidation. This is an industry where victory can be gained around the margins."
Frontier may have opportunities as Southwest and AirTran pull out of some markets as they merge. Last week, for instance, Frontier said it would begin non-stop flights between Orlando and Allentown and Harrisburg, Pa., routes that were flown by AirTran.
Though Frontier has steadily lost money, it had a $7.8 million pretax profit the last quarter of 2011, compared with an $11.2 million loss for that period the year before.
Still, some analysts say it could be difficult for Frontier to find a buyer — or even survive.
"They certainly had a much better fourth quarter, but one quarter does not a trend make," says William Swelbar, a research engineer at MIT's International Center for Air Transportation. "2012 promises to be a difficult year for the industry, so I would say their work is far from done. It's hard to imagine that any airline would want to spend money on this."
Jay Sorensen, president of the consulting company IdeaWorks, agrees. "Someone wouldn't buy it unless they're buying something of value," he says. "This is an airline that has a tremendous amount of problems, and I don't see a bright future for it."

Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- PT Bumi Resources signed an agreement on Feb. 6 with China Development Bank Corp. and the Jakarta branch of Bank of China for a $600 million, four-year loan, the Indonesian coal producer said in a stock exchange filing.
Bumi will use the loan to refinance its debt to Bank of America Merill Lynch, Barclays Plc and JPMorgan Chase & Co., it said yesterday. The loan will pay an interest of 6.7 percent more than the London interbank offered rate a year, Bumi said.

text: Sleep Disorders I am a chronic sleep disorder candidate for life. I have (RLS) since it runs in our family line, and Insomnia also runs in our family. I also had several car accidents and have a great deal of lower back pain. I started taking Halcion and then the generic brand as well back in 1992. I started actually sleeping very regularly and felt better than I had in years, however it didn't take long that I had to begin to increase the dosage to about 3 1/2 tabs at night in order for me to get any sleep at all. Now the real problem with this drug started day one actually, but got surprisingly worse after many years. I started forgetting conversations and some whole day events as well. I would drive and not know how I got to a certain place and have to have someone come and get me because I was so spaced out. I would say things to people that I would never have said if I was with it and my wife and family would tell me and yell at me during the day and I thought they were insane, since I had no recollection of those events at all. I attended a ministry meeting towards the morning and never even remembered going to the meeting, nor what I was supposed to do after. My life was falling apart and I got severely depressed, after the depression set in, I found I was gaining huge amounts of weight, the drug caused me to eat in the middle of the night, playing on my depression and I would never even remember eating! My wife says that the kitchen always looked like some animal was foraging for food. I took this drug for over 6 years,, and finally I decided to stop all drugs at one time. I did and God took away all desire for drugs and no side effects, except I still go through some moments of loosing consciousness or I completely forget some instances at times, but nothing as bad as it was. I still have very little sleep, but I am better knowing I am in control and not the drug.

Hybrid Versus Norwood Management Strategies in Infants Undergoing Single Ventricle Palliation
The purpose of this trial is to determine, at 3 years of life, how the neurologic and functional outcomes in infants with single ventricles are different when comparing children treated with the Hybrid strategy to the Norwood strategy.
Neurologic deficits in children with single ventricle physiology are believed to be associated with the reconstruction of the aortic arch during the initial Norwood procedure as a neonate. In the last few years, a new management strategy (the 'Hybrid' strategy) has been proposed which defers the aortic arch reconstruction to a second stage procedure at 4-6 months of age.
Proponents of the Hybrid strategy assert that the avoidance of cardiopulmonary bypass and circulatory arrest in the neonatal period will avoid neurologic injury in the critical neonatal period and thereby result in superior long-term neurologic outcomes.
We are testing whether the Hybrid management strategy is associated with superior neurologic outcomes or not.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Norwood Procedures
A set of surgical procedures performed to establish sufficient outflow to the systemic circulation in individuals with univentricular congenital heart malformations, such as HYPOPLASTIC LEFT HEART SYNDROME, and MITRAL VALVE atresia, associated with systemic outflow obstruction. Follow-on surgeries may be performed and consist of a HEMI-FONTAN PROCEDURE as the stage 2 Norwood procedure and a FONTAN PROCEDURE as the stage 3 Norwood procedure.
Managed Competition
A strategy for purchasing health care in a manner which will obtain maximum value for the price for the purchasers of the health care and the recipients. The concept was developed primarily by Alain Enthoven of Stanford University and promulgated by the Jackson Hole Group. The strategy depends on sponsors for groups of the population to be insured. The sponsor, in some cases a health alliance, acts as an intermediary between the group and competing provider groups (accountable health plans). The competition is price-based among annual premiums for a defined, standardized benefit package. (From Slee and Slee, Health Care Reform Terms, 1993)
Intention To Treat Analysis
Strategy for the analysis of RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS AS TOPIC that compares patients in the groups to which they were originally randomly assigned.
Carcinoma, Non-small-cell Lung
A heterogeneous aggregate of at least three distinct histological types of lung cancer, including SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA; ADENOCARCINOMA; and LARGE CELL CARCINOMA. They are dealt with collectively because of their shared treatment strategy.
Two-hybrid System Techniques
Screening techniques first developed in yeast to identify genes encoding interacting proteins. Variations are used to evaluate interplay between proteins and other molecules. Two-hybrid techniques refer to analysis for protein-protein interactions, one-hybrid for DNA-protein interactions, three-hybrid interactions for RNA-protein interactions or ligand-based interactions. Reverse n-hybrid techniques refer to analysis for mutations or other small molecules that dissociate known interactions.

Note: Industrial biomass is bad for forest health, bad for human health, and as study after study is beginning to show, is a significant driver of climate change due to its greenhouse gas emissions.
This news from Oregon comes just as the biomass industry in the US Southeast is embarking on a spate of biomass plant construction, which would be powered by greatly expanding monoculture tree plantations in the region. This would have devastating effects on native forests, especially if they include invasive genetically engineered eucalyptus trees.
You can help us stop this risk by clicking here to sign GJEP's petition to Stop GE Trees.
-The GJEP Team
By Christina Williams, February 6 2013. Source: Sustainable Business Oregon
A spate of air pollution bad enough to be in violation of the Clean Air Act and comparable to the well-known pollution in Beijing has prompted an activist group to request an emergency moratorium on biomass plant development in southeastern Oregon's Lake and Klamath counties.
Save Our Rural Oregon announced Wednesday that the group had sent letters to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Gov. John Kitzhaber requesting that biomass and biofuels projects in Klamath Falls and Lakeview be put on hold and no new or modified air quality discharge permits related to the projects be issues.
The group singles out three such projects in the works. Klamath Bio Energy is working on approval for a plant in Klamath Falls. Iberdrola Renewables has two in the works, one in Lakeview and another in Klamath Falls.
Iberdrola announced last October that the proposed Lakeview plant — which halted construction in 2011 — would emit twice the originally proposed amount of emissions.
"If they were already built, biomass projects proposed for both Klamath Falls and Lakeview would not only have made the air quality situation much worse but under anticipated sanctions placed upon us by EPA and DEQ starting in 2014, the biomass facilities would be exempt from shutting down and allowed to continue to burn while we citizens would be fined for heating our own homes," says Paul Fouch, executive director of Save Our Rural Oregon, in a press release.
Save Our Rural Oregon reports that the region has the worst concentration of pollution-causing fine particulate matter in the country. In January Lakeview residents experienced particulate matter levels five times the national standard.

Sully Puts Marathon on Hold

He plans on continuing his training as soon as he is feeling better and appreciates all the fan support thus far. Fortunately, there will be other marathons in the near future and he looks forward to participating in one of them. He may have to take a little break for now, but he WILL be back in action very soon!

How banks make money
How banks make money
Most of us use banks to keep our money safe. We put our money in, can access it at any time and earn interest. So how do the banks make such enormous profits? Where does that money come from? Listen to Nathan Bazley explain how the banks use your money and make a profit. This clip provides a context for percentage, simple interest and decimal multiplication.

Things to think about
Before viewing
On behalf of an adult or parent, research online the fees charged by banks for different types of transaction such as Eftpos, ATM and monthly account fees. Create a table of your findings and decide which bank gives the fairest deal.
As you view
Listen to how Johnny lends his friend $200 for a Nintendo DS, and makes $100 when the loan is paid back with interest. This means that he charged his friend 100 / 200 x 100 = 50% interest. What would the interest rate be if Johnny made $80?
How is losing small change while sitting on the couch similar to how banks make profits?
After viewing
Banks also make money by charging fees on certain services. If they charge $0.50 for each ATM withdrawal and you make 8 withdrawals in a month then the bank will take 8 x 0.50 = $4.00 from your account for that month. How much will they take if you make 12, 16 or 20 withdrawals in a single month?
Next steps
Imagine you had a balance of $2000 in your bank account. Calculate the balance at the end of each year if the account earns interest at a rate of 6% pa. If you withdrew $50 per week from the account via an ATM (at $0.50 per transaction), how long will it take until there is no money left in your account?
NATHAN BAZLEY:The big financial protests that started in Wall Street in New York have spread all around the world, even to Australia. Occupy Melbourne has been going on for a couple of weeks now and one of the things they're protesting about is the greed of the big banks. But have you ever stopped to think how banks even make money? Let's take a look at where the money in the money business actually comes from. They always say that 'money doesn't grow on trees'. But it does multiply. Look at a bank and it'll prove it. Money goes into a bank, the same amount of money goes out of it and yet, somehow, huge amounts are left over as profit. As much as 6 billion bucks for some of the big banks. See, it does multiply. Let me show you how. Johnny wants to make some cash and he's come up with a great idea - he's going to become his own mini bank. He's convinced five friends to lend him $100 each on the promise that he'll keep it safe for them.GIRL:Hey. Here's the 100. Please keep it safe.NATHAN BAZLEY:That gives him $500, but he doesn't own any of it. Even still, he then goes out and lends $200 of it to a friend who wants to buy a Nintendo DS and invests another $200 on the stock exchange. The last $100 he leaves in his wallet safe. By the time he's been paid back, Johnny now has $700 - $100 dollars extra in interest from his DS loan and $100 extra from his investments.BOY:Got my hundred bucks?NATHAN BAZLEY:So even when his friends ask for all their money back, Johnny is $200 better off.JOHNNY:Yes! That's exactly what's happening when you put your pocket money in the bank. You, along with everyone else, deposit cash to keep it safe and sometimes to earn a little interest on top. But while it's in there, the bank makes the most of it. Some of it is kept on hand for when customers want it, but most is invested or given out in loans. So while your money is in there, it could actually be off helping someone buy a house, or it could be invested in a stock exchange way overseas. Either way, all the time your money is in there, it's making the bank more money on top. But that's not the only way they get cash out of you. Have you ever sat on a couch and had change slip out of your pockets and fall into the cushions? It happens every now and again without you really paying much attention. Then when you're spring-cleaning you look underneath and all of a sudden... you've got a fortune under there. In the same way, banks take little bits of your cash here and there in fees. It could be 50 cents for a transaction or a few dollars a month for an account keeping fee. It's only a little bit each time, but if you think of how many customers sit on that couch, it adds up to a lot. Of course, for all of the money they earn, banks do provide you with a service. They hold your money and keep it safe, but they also give you convenient access to it when you need it, through cards, ATMs, internet banking and tellers. So while banks are making huge profits, people must still think they are worth using. Because the only other option is stashing your money under the mattress. And one thing I can guarantee is that your money won't do much multiplying under there.

House passes Democratic changes to health bill
WASHINGTON (AP) - The House has passed key changes to its
just-approved overhaul of health care legislation. The changes are part of a prearranged agreement to guarantee passage of the historic legislation.
The changes passed by a 220-211 vote. That bill now goes to the Senate for final approval, where it only requires a simple majority to pass.
The fast-track measure eliminates targeted provisions for specific states in the main health care bill. It softens a tax on high-value insurance plans opposed by organized labor.
It also contains an education provision that is a domestic priority of President Barack Obama. That measure increases college assistance for needy students and ends government reliance on private lenders for higher education loans.

Being in a new country requires you to learn some new rules of etiquette
so that you are not spoiling your chances for further invites. The rules below revolve around dinner parties and small gatherings at people's homes.
The Danes have some traditions, which they hold very dear and expect others to respect and uphold. Ignoring these Danish rules can spoil your chances of being invited back for other dinners.
Punctuality: The first etiquette rule of being invited to dinner is that you must be punctual. Being late is unacceptable and not considered polite. If you are invited for 6 p.m., than you should arrive at 6 p.m., and no later than 5 minutes past. It is acceptable to be a few minutes early, but late is never acceptable.
Even if you are only delayed 5 minutes, you should call and let your host know that you are running 5 minutes late.
Gifts: Next thing to remember is that you should never arrive empty handed. It is customary to bring a small gift like a bottle of wine, flowers, chocolates or small trinket. I always like to bring candleholder or glass ornament. If it is a birthday or type of anniversary, than you should also bring a larger gift for the honorary.
Shoes: It is impolite etiquette to wear your outdoor shoes inside a person's home, so it is expected that you remove your shoes when entering a persons home. In order that you do not go around in your socks, you should bring along a pair of slippers. Sometimes the host will have extras, but it is advisable to bring your own.
Now this is not always the case, especially if the party is being held partly outdoors or it is a fancier type party - ball or large banquet. But you should be prepared with a pair of slippers in your bag. You can always ask the host what is expected.
Introductions: Depending on the size of the party, you may not be introduced to everyone individually. You should take it upon yourself to go around and greet each person. Say hello and shake their hand. This is very Danish and would be impolite not to introduce yourself.
Seating etiquette: When it is time for dinner, your host will announce that dinner is served. You should than proceed to the table and find your place. Depending on the size of the party there may be table cards indicating your seating arrangement. At other times the host may assign your seats. You now stand behind your chair until everyone is at the table. When your host says "Vaersgo or Velbekomme" that means it is time to take your seats.
P.S. Depending on the circumstances it is okay to hold a ladies chair and help her, but it is not expected. Equal rights and all, so you should play this by ear. Watch what other guests might be doing and take a clue from them.
Courses: There are usually several courses served during an evening meal. You will start with a fish dish as an appetizer, than a main course and than dessert. You are not expected to help clear plates between courses, but after the entire meal is finished, you should tell the host "tak for mad". This means thank you for the meal.
After the meal you will usually retire to the living room and have coffee/drinks/snacks and than the evening will end after that is served.
Departure: When leaving the party, proper etiquette requires you should tell the host that you had a good time by saying "Det var rigtig hyggeligt". You can also say it when saying goodbye to the other guests. This is the polite way to let everyone know you enjoyed yourself.
The Next Day: The following day or the next time you meet the host or any of the guests from the dinner party, you should say "Tak for sidst!", which means "thank you for the last time". You say this to everyone that was at the party, since everyone contributed to the success of the party.
P.S. I always find it amusing, when after an office party, as everyone comes to work all you hear for the first hour of conversation is "tak for sidst" repeated to every person walking into the office.
You will find some more etiquette terms here.

17 grows is to much for killing him the first time, your dps is going to hold you back. You could easily go into both and drop some of the easier bosses, such as solarion and Lurker, I would be hesitant to say Void Reaver as it seems your DPS is not up to par to hit the enrage timer.
The thing with progression is, while it is probably a little more important to have the tank geared, if your DPS and/or Healers are not up to par you can't move forward, this could be a class balance issue, how many healers do you run usually?
It is also foolish to not "learn" Mag, the progression path is there for a reason. It is a fight that everyone has a responsibility for, and you need to find out those who can and can not handle it early rather that later.

Very Good But . . .from DrewInLA
It's a good, well-run hotel, but with a few mild negatives.
Good, helpful staff always, but so young. What happened to old, genteel hotel staff?!
The two "large" beds we asked for turned out to be full size, not king or queen, so the two kids felt a little cramped. The room was very clean, the bathroom nice, but had a sliding door to fit the room. Closet had bathrobes, ironing board, iron, even an umbrella. Computer ports, big TV, all the usual.
Our view was of the back of other buildings and office windows. In other words, no view. Our rate was about $180 but with city hotel tax, etc. we paid over $200 for each of three nights in early July. Parking for our rental car was $45 a day! Next time I'll find a nearby garage. St Mary's Garage only two blocks up California St. might be cheaper.
There's only one restaurant in the hotel. Breakfasts were very nice, service attentive, but expensive. Fortunately, when we reserved and asked about their best rates the hotel gave us six free breakfast vouchers so one-and-a-half day's breakfasts were free. That saved quite a bit. Dinners would have been very expensive and were the meat and potatoes type, so we ate elsewhere.
The lobby is very nice--marble, artwork, some chairs, etc., but not a good place to lounge like the Fairmont or other great old hotels.
One caution is that this hotel is in the Financial District. This is not Union Square or other hotel areas. At night and on weekends it's pretty empty, no restaurants nearby, and coffee shops and delis only cater to the business crowd so they close very early (4:00 is typical). But Chinatown is only two uphill blocks away so that's nice. Summer in SF is very windy and chilly, so we battled winds every day. Take a windbreaker for sure.
I'd stay at the Omni again for $200 or less. At higher rates, I'd expect a bigger room, a coffee shop, pool, more central location.
Rate confusionfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Location is great if you're doing business in the Financial District. However, if you are visiting for fun, this neighborhood is b-o-r-i-n-g, especially on the weekends.
Be prepared to pay an arm and a leg for any services within the hotel (food, drinks, room service, etc. - all very very expensive!).
the best servicefrom A TripAdvisor Member
Overrated !from A TripAdvisor Member
Do not eat or drink at the hotel though as it is rip-off. 2 Jack Daniels at the bar cost $21 !, an orange juice with breakfast costs $5 !., I guess they expect most guests to be on expenses and as such not care too much.
All in all OK for the money $150 a night, but nothing special.
Beautiful hotel with great stafffrom A TripAdvisor Member
The Best Place to Stay in S.F.from A TripAdvisor Member
The Omni was a great choice!from donnakat
What a wonderful place to stayfrom Vegasdebut007
We were taken from the superbly decorated entrance hall to our good sized room by a young man who was informative and keen to share his city with visitors.
The room was modern, well eqipped and absolutely pristine. The fittings were brand new and care has been taken to maintain such good order.
We took the MUNI pass which gives unlimited travel on the cable cars busse etc and saw all the sites except for Alcatraz - we hadn't booked.
In summing up we would recommend this OMNI to anyone. Remember to join the OMNI club before you travel. The OMNI is excellent value for money because of the location, keen polite staff, lovely modern pristine room, and the general attention to detail.
Fantastic in all respects!from A TripAdvisor Member
Top Local Tips for San Francisco
City Tour We took a city bus tour (picked up downtown) and would definitely recommend this if your trip is somewhat short just to see more of the city. Shopping is Great downtown.
Tours Take a tour recommended by the hotel staff. We picked one that sounded - great 2 day on-off bus. But, we only got on twice, After the 3rd "off", the buse broke down and wouldn't return for 1 hour. I don't recall the company name, but have read of a similar plight by others.
Chinese New Year Parade One of the Worlds greatest parades and yet very very easy to attend. You can get access to the route online months before the New Year. The earlier you position yourself on the route, the quicker the parade, the easier to have a clear view and the fresher the performers. Lots of families with small children will choose the first few blocks,so be aware that your view might be impeded by standing children or there very rude parents. Our children 10 & 17 found the little kids a bit annoying. We had a dinner reservation for 8 pm and sat through 2 hours of the parade on the 3rd block. To avoid traffic, there is BART or try booking a hotel in the city. This was our choice and for the price we had a wonderful weekend.

December 20, 2014
The nation's highest court has ruled the death penalty is unconstitutional for those who were under 18 when they committed their crime.
Lauderdale County's district attorney said before the ruling a jury made that decision based on each individual case, but Bilbo Mitchell said this is one more thing the government has taken away from the citizens.
"The thing that makes the ruling unnecessary is that the defendants have so many rights because everything is considered by the jury," said Mitchell.
Statewide, Mitchell says the ruling effects five individuals in Mississippi but none convicted in Lauderdale County.
Maj. Ward Calhoun of the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department says the ruling is unfortunate.
"I think this ruling is not helpful to the law enforcement community and they will continue to pay the price," Calhoun said.
Calhoun said it would have been different if justices had left the decision up to each state.
"I hate to see the Supreme Court is taking the authority away from states to govern their own laws," said Calhoun.
Some say juvenile offenders are different because their character is not as well formed as that of an adult, but others say that is not so."
"There are many 15-year-olds that know what they are doing. I have an 11-year-old son and he knows right and wrong. Teenagers should have to suffer just like an adult. This arbitrary age is not an argument," Calhoun said.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 in favor of the decision. The court's majority says it acknowledged the weight of international opinion against the juvenile death penalty.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn (WVLT) -- All the hype, the TV and radio advertisements, the billboards, apparently wasn't enough to save The All American Football League's (AAFL) inaugural season.
The AAFL has announced the postponement of its inaugural season until 2009.
"Obviously we're disappointed," said Team Tennessee spokesperson Nathan Kirkham, "first and foremost for the fans because we feel we could have given them something to be proud of (this year)."
AAFL sponsors, including New Balance, Baden Sports and Rogers Athletic, have committed to remain on board for the 2009 season, according to the team's website.
Also still in place for the 2009 season are a national radio partnership with Touchdown Radio & SportsDay Productions, and an internet broadcast partnership with PlayOn! Sports, a division of Turner Broadcasting.
"We are so very fortunate to have built partnerships with companies who are partners in the truest sense of the word," said Keenan Davis, AAFL VP of League Operations and COO. "We sincerely appreciate their support as we progress toward our new goal of a 2009 inaugural season."
All fans who have purchased tickets to 2008 AAFL games will receive a full refund. Credit cards will be credited and any checks received will be returned.

Baan Saladan
Travel Guide
Home to the main ferry pier at Ko Lanta's northern point, the once sleepy fishing village of Baan Saladan is now officially a full-scale tourist centre. Though the old stilted wood houses remain, they're now occupied by traveller-oriented cafes and cheap guesthouses that overlook high-speed ferries rather than fishing junks.
Yet it would be a mistake to wave goodybe to Saladan immediately after arriving, and return only when it's time to leave. The village offers some of the best and cheapest eating options on Lanta, with a few of the islander-owned seafood restaurants attracting just as many locals as travellers. There's even a little-known white-sand beach to the west of town.
A side road from the centre of Saladan takes you to neighbouring Ao Kaw Kwang, a small cape that stretches seaward between Khlong Dao beach and a thinner, north-facing beach. Unless you're looking for a lavish experience at Crown Lanta Resort, Kaw Kwang's accommodation is rather forgettable. Still, the area makes for a scenic detour by bicycle or motorbike.
In the centre of Baan Saladan, a lively traveller-oriented night market is a fun place to munch on kebabs and roti sold by the locals.
In addition to countless travel offices, internet shops, tailors and full-scale bank branches with ATMs and currency exchange, the area hosts several open-air shopping plazas with no shortage of swimsuits, key chains and trinkets for sale. Go on and be a tourist!
Just west of the ferry pier and a five-minute stroll from the night market, a string of low-key guesthouses sell beds for as low as 250 baht per night, often with waterside chill spaces where backpackers gather to sip cheap beer and play guitars after dark. If you're on a tight budget, it makes good financial sense to stay here and rent a motorbike to explore different parts of the island each day.

Certificate in Policing
New qualifications for Tshwane Metro Police
Sat, 15 Dec 2007 22:22
By Bathandwa Mbola
Adding to governments mandate to create and attract critical skills, 261 Tshwane Metro Police recruits have received National Certificates in Policing (NQF Level 5).
The Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality is the first to pilot outcomes-based NQF Level 5 qualification for its metro police officers, which makes them the first to receive a National Certificate in Policing in the country.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony on Thursday, Executive Mayor, Gwen Ramokgopa said: "the course is aligned with the South African Police Service (SAPS) curriculum and it deals with the challenges of policing. It also allows for a more practical exposure and better skills acquisition.
"The training also forms part of a broader strategy to combat crime. Our members have joined forces with other law-enforcement agencies in cracking serious crime cases."
The new training which is presented over a period of two years and includes theory, field training, six months in crime investigation and another six months in crime prevention.
Of the 261 graduates, 100 are women and according to Ms Ramokgopa, this is a reflection of the city's commitment, through its departments to put into practice gender equality which is required by the government.
The municipality is in the process of getting extra 350 recruits that are expected to commence with their training in the New Year.
In order to tackle crime effectively during the festive season the metropolitan police will not take leave, Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) of Community Safety, Dikeledi Lehobye said during the ceremony.
"We want to increase our capacity in making Tshwane a safer city during this period and we are forging links and strengthening our partnership with the community and other law enforcement agencies in fighting crime," she said.
The metro police will also focus mainly on road policing aimed at reducing the number of fatal accidents, crime prevention and by-law transgression. This will see the metro police increasing visibility in areas most frequented by shoppers.
To ensure safety in the city, the municipality has trained youths in Soshanguve, Mamelodi and Attridgeville to do point duty and also assist with minor traffic control.
"With the challenge of power shedding, we will need more personnel to help with point duties at intersections and traffic lights. We will be adopting a zero-tolerance approach during this period," Ms Lehobye said.
