"The poetic elements...help us dig down into the deeper ground of being and shine light to try to see the particular beauties that are waiting there." Seattle poet and WITS Writer-in-Residence Vicky Edmonds writes of the things poetry can reveal to us in her post, "Invisible Beauties," on the WITS blog.
On Tuesday, November 4, seven WITS writers mirror the creative process they inspire in their students and read from their own, original works-in-progress from 7:30-9:00 pm.
The reading takes place in the Richard Hugo House Cabaret and will feature a selection of Seattle's best local writers: Sara Brickman, Aaron Counts, Laura Gamache, Matt Gano, Melanie Noel, Michael Overa and Greg Stump. Join us for a night of fantastic writing!

"If hip hop motivates you to want to graduate high school, study poetry," James McBride told the hundreds of Garfield High School students gathered to hear him speak inside the Quincy Jones Auditorium Wednesday afternoon. These are only a few of the words of wisdom the author, musician, screenwriter and 2013 National Book Award winner generously offered to the students of the WITS partner school, where several classes were already reading his memoir, The Color of Water.
Last night, Benaroya Hall was filled with awe-inspiring words written and read by over fifty K-12 students from our Writers in the Schools Program, who gathered to celebrate the publication of our 2013-2014 anthology, The Sixth Breath Blows You Home. The bold honesty, clever wit, astute observations and deep emotions of these young writers' words came to life among an audience of over three hundred, who could not have looked happier to meet the authors afterwards, as they signed copies of their published works over Baby Cakes from Cupcake Royale. Thank you to all who attended the launch of this incredible collection of new writing!
Special thanks goes to our generous supporters: 4Culture, Amazon.com, ArtsFund, Brown Family Foundation, Expedia, Inc., Fales Foundation Trust, The Law Firm of Reed, Longyear, Malnati & Ahrens, Mannix Canby Foundation, Medina Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, Norcliffe Foundation, Office of Arts & Culture, Seattle, Seattle Foundation, Umpqua Bank, US Bancorp Foundation, Washington State Arts Commission, Petunia Foundation, Tom Alberg & Judi Beck, Kip Robinson Geenthal & Stanley Greenthal, and Candace Tkachuck & Don Guthrie.
Thank you to all who attended the inaugural WITS Back to School Breakfast this morning! We were thrilled to see so many people come out in support of our Writers in the Schools Program over a fantastic breakfast at the Palace Ballroom. From hearing the inspiring words of student alumni, to seeing a special performance by several of the program's talented writers-in-residence and experiencing the profound support of everyone in the room, we cannot think of a more exhilarating way to start the school year.
Since 1994, WITS has matched local, professional creative writers with public schools to inspire more than 100,000 students to tell their stories, improve their writing, and turn imagination into ink through year-long arts education residencies.
Join us on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 to celebrate the publication of WITS' annual anthology, featuring creative writing by students in last year's program. 50 young authors will move you to tears, laughter, awe, and wild applause.
Our writers-in-residence are talented instructors and accomplished writers. Please join us to hear them read in progress work at Hugo House, November 4, 7:30 pm.

WITS writer and poet Daemond Arrindell wrote a moving tribute to Maya Angelou.
"Maya Angelou, who didn't consider herself wise, but "in root." She saw herself as connected, to the past – the earth she was metaphorically planted in – but also to the young leaves sprouting. She chose not to look down upon those who came after but to look up at us, with love, to recognize the nutrients of experience and courage and love that she had within her to pass on. Griot that she was, she seemed to delight in this burden. Though, I doubt highly that she would have ever called it a burden."
We were so pleased to celebrate the K-12 students in our Writers in the Schools (WITS) program with two nights of readings! Last Wednesday and Thursday, The Seattle Public Library was flooded with the words, voices, and creativity of 32 elementary and middle school students and 24 high school students. Nathan Hale High School student Anna Dong closed the event on Thursday night with her poetic question, "Why am I an artist? To see the world right...." Thanks to these young writers, we can all see our lives a little more clearly.
Special thanks goes to our generous event sponsors, Reed, Longyear, Malnati & Ahrens, PLLC, and Goldman, Sachs & Co. Also much thanks to our sweetness-making in-kind sponsor Cupcake Royale and our community partner The Seattle Public Library, as well as to The Elliott Bay Book Company, Liz Johnson, Paper Hammer, Starbucks, and Greg Stump.
The Presidential Inaugural Poet, Richard Blanco, speaks to students at Garfield High School about equality, childhood, cultural landscapes, and being a "full-time poet."
This afternoon at Shorewood High School, Gillian Flynn told a group of juniors that she'd always been interested in dark topics.
As a third grader she wrote a story called "The Outhouse" about a pioneer girl who, in the end, was eaten alive by wolves. The group gasped.
"I know!" she said. "My parents were probably like who is this creepy person?"
Writing had been a strong interest early; in high school she wrote for the school newspaper and it was after college that she went into journalism. She liked that there was this opportunity to make a living at writing and her job for Entertainment Weekly gave her the chance to pull together everything she loved: books, music, and TV.
Being forced to write every day as part of her job was the greatest training in being a writer.
"A lot of [the work of] writing is just making yourself write. When you write the bad stuff it's your brain trying to get to the good stuff."
Flynn shared that she did a lot of extra writing to get to know her characters and the situations in her novel Gone Girl: Nick from the point of view of his kindergarten teacher during a family visit, characters' iPod playlists, Netflix accounts.
"I have a questionnaire for my characters. Do they eat breakfast? What do they eat?" Her advice to young writers is to find different ways to get into the heads of their characters.
"When a character is real and starts doing their own thing, that's when you know you're doing the job right."
Which Flynn clearly did. She didn't expect Gone Girl to be such a hit, but through word of mouth it succeeded in reaching millions of people.
"You can kind of forget that you've written it," she said. "You are by yourself with your laptop and it gets released into the world and suddenly it has its own life."
After learning that the "most A-listish actor" in the upcoming film would be Ben Affleck, the boy who initially asked this question asked threw his hands down onto the desk. His excitement was palpable, and it made the rest of us pretty excited too.
"That's crazy. He's going to be doing the thing, that's the thing you made." He asked again, a bit later what it took to become a Ben Affleck-worthy writer?
"Part of being a writer is the sheer stubbornness," she said. Writing could really be a drag sometimes and you got to show up every day and work your way through. "If something gets you back into the chair, it's worth it."
A student wanted to know, with all of this work, did she feel attached to her books? How did she transition from book to book?
"Usually, I'm so sick of the book by the time I'm done with it … , but I do spend enough time with the characters that I get attached and I'll catch myself thinking: I wonder what so and so is doing."
Another girl timidly raised her hand. "I chose to study you for an English project," she said.
"What did you find out?" Flynn asked.
The student learned from an NPR interview that much of her time was spent thinking about the perfect crime.
"What led you to writing about them, rather than performing them?"
"I'd be too chicken," she said, laughing. "My characters are bolder, so I let them handle it."
Gillian Flynn is speaking tonight at Town Hall starting at 7:30. Q&A moderated by Maria Semple.
WITS Writer Laura Gamache shares her thoughts on arts education in words and pictures.
Poet J.W. Marshall enchants and engages a group of 4th grade students at Lafayette Elementary School.
WITS writer-in-residence, Eli Hastings, shares the healing power and poetry of angry letters.
Bob Hicok visited Nathan Hale High School this morning and spoke to the 9th grade poets, some of them dressed as super heroes.
He read for fifteen minutes to a completely absorbed group of twenty-three students and shared lines such as, "Tattoo my front door to my tombstone/ and place a key on my tongue like a mint," and ending, from "Primer," that explores his Michigan roots, with, "Let us all be from somewhere./ Let us tell each other everything we can."
Award-winning poet Dorothea Lasky conducted a lively poetry lesson for 3rd graders at B.F. Day Elementary School. Find out how she sparked a classroom full of future writers and performers.
WITS writers-in-residence are in the news! Daemond Arrindell, who has taught middle and high school students through WITS for five years, was featured in The Seattle Times on Sunday, April 7. Check out the article here: http://ow.ly/kckoJ. Karen Finneyfrock, a local and national slam poetry legend whose first YA novel was released this winter, has an interview published in The Seattle Lesbian: http://ow.ly/kckvj. Karen has taught elementary, middle, and high school students through Writers in the Schools for six years. Congratulations to Daemond and Karen!
Karen Russell, author of 2011's Swamplandia!, visited with 9th and 12th grade Chief Sealth International High School students on the Thursday, April 4.
Throughout the school year we here at Writers in the Schools provide as many opportunities as we can for students to showcase their work, from a year-end poetry reading at the Seattle Public Library, to a letterpress project in collaboration with Seattle Children's Hospital and the School of Visual Concepts, to our annual anthology of the best student writing from the year. This January, we further extended our reach with two student poetry contests, featuring topics inspired by author events at Seattle Arts and Lectures.
The results of the WITS "Origins" contest are in!
Maga Barzallo Sockemtickem of Seattle Children's Hospital
And four finalists, in alphabetical order:
Angie Flores of Seattle Children's Hospital
Moneka LaFrambois of West Seattle High School
Faith Mulugeta of BF Day Elementary School
Ruby Strickland of BF Day Elementary School
Maga read last night as the opening act for Julie Otsuka's lecture through the Literary Arts Series. All five poets had their poems on display in the lobby, and you can read them on the WITS blog: http://salwits.wordpress.com/.
Congratulations to all of these excellent poets!
WITS staff have been hard at work this summer compiling and editing our annual anthology featuring the very best writing from the previous year's WITS program. We are excited to announce that the title of this year's anthology is In the Sliver of a Second, drawn from a poem written by Hutch School student Abby Rodriguez. Join us on Sunday, September 30 at 5:00pm at Benaroya's Recital Hall for a free celebration of the arrival of the book. Many of the young authors appearing in the book will read their work, and then we will all celebrate with a book-signing sweetened by Cupcake Royale.
Peter Mountford, a longtime WITS Writer-in-Residence, has been chosen by Richard Hugo House to fill their own Writer-in-Residence post. These authors are selected on their strength as writers and teachers, and their ability to engage in the writing community and act as ambassadors for Hugo House.
On Wednesday, May 23, a new community of young writers was born. I had the privilege to emcee the event, and, standing at the front of the Microsoft Auditorium in the downtown Seattle Public Library as the reading progressed, I started to notice the posture of the other teen readers: they were leaning forward, elbows on their knees and palms on their chins, fingers folded across their mouths, brows in furrowed concentration, listening. They wanted to hear what the other writers were reading. They wanted to know the words of those who comprise their community.
Find out what makes Ann Teplick, poet, playwright, prose writer, and WITS Writer-in-Residence tick.
Seattle Arts & Lectures' Writers in the Schools Program co-hosts Teen Night Out at the Seattle Art Museum on Friday, April 13. One student from each of the 8 high schools that participated in the WITS field trip to the Gauguin & Polynesia exhibit will read an original poem inspired by artwork in the exhibit. 600 area students visited the exhibit during the month of March and, led by local, professional writers, penned poems in response to Gauguin's paintings and Polynesian art. The experience culminates Friday in a teen-curated reading and tour through the galleries.
Mary Ann Gwinn, the Seattle Times' book editor, interviewed Washington State Poet Laureate Kathleen Flenniken, who has also been a WITS Writer-in-Residence for a number of years.
Karen Finneyfrock does it all. She writes poetry of both the written- and spoken-word varieties, collaborates on projects with other creative folks (including a chocolate artist), teaches creative writing at the Hugo House, has a forthcoming Young Adult novel and is currently working on her second novel. On top of all that, she is also the Writers in the Schools writer-in-residence at Nathan Hale High School, where she teaches poetry once a week.
This year, WITS took on its third school in the Shoreline School District, Shorewood High School, where local playwright Tracy Vicory-Rosenquest has taught 10th and 11th grade students since October. On Tuesday, January 24, students performed a staged reading of five original one-act plays and five individual scenes. The genres varied from comedy to satire/parody to drama, each with unique characters ("Johnny, a 15 1/2 year old boy who loves to read poetry to Violet" was one of my favorite descriptions) and complex plots ("The Magic 8 Ball," for instance, sees a love-struck girl go crazy while taking erratic advice from her Magic 8 Ball.)
Tracy worked hard alongside partner teachers Tim Murray and Becky Eckhert to make the residency a great success. Thanks also goes to three local directors, Pearl Klein, Ana Maria Campoy, and Joe Homes, who volunteered their time to help prepare the students for the performance. The characters, the turns of phrase, the complex-but-still-uniquely-youthful plots--all were a pleasure to watch, and an honor to be able to claim as part of the WITS program.
For the first time ever, WITS was able to video record our annual book launch. This year's celebration, held on Sept. 25 at Benaroya's Recital Hall, is now available on Vimeo for your viewing pleasure. These students have much to say, and they articulate themselves with intention and eloquence. Smart, poignant, and funny, all of the students demonstrate a serious endeavor to create something with their words, and they have succeeded. Whether you want to relive a memory of the night or catch up on an evening missed, this video is a must-see.
Fifty-six area K-12 students read their original poetry, prose, and comics on stage at Benaroya Hall on September 25 to celebrate the publication of Our Beautiful Robotic Hearts. Students read their words with confidence and poise, and were met at the end with a standing ovation from the crowd. Celebrating with babycakes donated from Cupcake Royale, authors autographed the books and spoke with admiring fans. Photographs from the event available from Libby Lewis: http://www.libbylewisphotography.com/pickpic/gallery/splash.php?gallery_id=267.
Area students will present their original creative writing at the launch of the 2010-11 anthology of Seattle Arts & Lectures' Writers in the Schools program on Sunday, September 25, 2011 at 5:00 at Benaroya's Recital Hall.
The anthology, titled Our Beautiful Robotic Hearts, represents the "best of the best" from the 27 sites in our 2010-11 WITS program, which included public elementary, middle and high schools in Seattle, Kent, Shoreline, Port Townsend, on the Lummi Nation Reservation, and at Seattle Children's Hospital. The 137 students featured in the anthology represent just a fraction of the stunning and insightful creative writing produced this past year by the 4,400 K-12 students WITS served.
Students, teachers, parents, writers, citizens of the world: join the conversation on the new Tumblr WITS blog! Each day from now until our year-end readings and celebrations on June 1 & 2, we will post a poem from a student who's had WITS this year. We also invite others to post writing prompts, poetic lines, questions, musings--WITS welcomes and encourages all. Find the Tumblr blog here: http://witsink.tumblr.com/.
The WITS year-end readings will be Wednesday, June 1 for elementary and middle school students and Thursday, June 2 for high school students. Both readings will be held in the Seattle Public Central Library's Microsoft Auditorium. 50 students will read over the course of 2 nights. More information can be found on our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=208644069164067.
Students in Lori Eickelberg's 7th grade class at TOPS K-8 were delighted to discover the wide array of books their teacher had ordered for them, and students spent some time one recent morning picking through the titles to find their favorites. Through a grant from the D.V. & Ida J. McEachern Charitable Trust, WITS is able to provide each of its schools with an assortment of books, free of charge to the schools. Schools place orders to add to the library, request class sets of novels students will be reading that year in their Language Arts classes, or provide exciting new titles for classrooms the schools might not otherwise be able to purchase.
WITS is excited to be working with West Seattle High School this year. Check out the West Seattle blog for a glimpse into the residency, led by poet and writer-in-residence Katie Ogle.
Native poet Cedar Sigo will visit the Center School to speak with students in Jon Greenberg's creative writing class on Wednesday, Nov. 17. Born February 2, 1978, Sigo was raised on The Suquamish reservation near Seattle, Washington. In 1995 he was awarded a scholarship to study writing and poetics at The Naropa Institute in Boulder Colorado where he studied with Allen Ginsberg, Anne Waldman, Lisa Jarnot, Alice Notley, and Joanne Kyger, among other poets. He has lived in San Francisco since 1999.
In 2003 Ugly Duckling Presse published the first edition of his Selected Writings. A second large collection Stranger In Town has just been published by City Lights.
Francis Nyssen read his poem "Ode to Birds," published in the WITS 2009-10 anthology You Will Not Come Back Unchanged, on stage at Benaroya Hall on October 15. Francis inspired cheers and admiration from the sold-out crowd at the Poetry Series opening night with former poet laureate Robert Pinsky.
The 2009-10 Writers in the Schools anthology, You Will Not Come Back Unchanged, featuring the poetry and prose of students in twenty-one area schools, will be launched at the Seattle Art Museum on Wednesday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. in the Plestcheeff Auditorium. Students will read from their published work on stage. Free and open to the public. Come join us!
On May 26 and 27, two students from each WITS school read their best work at the downtown branch of the Seattle Public Library. 250 were in attendance each night to listen, laugh, cry, and be moved by the work of young minds. You can listen to the podcast of the two nights on the library website.
Pictures from the event are available from Libby Lewis photography.
Nicole Dupler, one of two winners of a WITS scholarship, made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts Access to Artistic Excellence program, provided a powerful opening poem for national-recognized poet Sharon Olds on Sunday, April 18 at Benaroya Hall.
Seattle7Writers, a collective of Pacific Northwest authors , has named Seattle Arts & Lectures' Writers in the Schools (WITS) program as the first beneficiary of their outreach. Seattle7Writers is dedicated to creating connections between writers, readers, librarians, and booksellers to foster and support a passion for the written word.

The objective here is to minimize the total cost so that all the demands are met in time. Define as the minimum cost of meeting the demands for months if units are on hand at the beginning of month t. We define as the cost of producing x units during a period. Then,
If we define,
Initially compute the production cost for each month. Then in 11 and 12 in the excel sheet, enter State values as the all possible initial inventory before the month and Action values as the possible number of units produced x in a month. Using these values, enter the following formula in cell corresponding to state 0 and action 0 to obtain,
The function HLOOKUP looks for the value in first argument in the lookup table given as second argument and returns the corresponding value in that table corresponding to the row number given as third argument. So the first part of the formula gives the corresponding production cost, second part gives and third part returns value. Thus is computed. Using similar formula, compute all the values. Now compute as the minimum of all corresponding to that particular state.
Now in the rows 5-9, enter all possible values. For negative values enter a very large number 10000 since it is impossible to get negative and so it will not be considered in the calculations. Now, corresponding to value 0, assign value for all months and so on. In this way complete the whole table. Since the formulas are interdependent a circular reference error will pop-up. Allow the circular reference by enabling iterative calculations in Excel Options.
Since the initial inventory at the beginning of month-1 is 0, we look for value in the table. The value is 8950 and it is obtained from the state 0 and action 2 that means for the first month. That means in the Month-1, it is optimal to produce 200 units of radios. Now seek for 6700. That means it is optimal to produce 600 units of radios in month-2. Then we seek for 0 indicating no production is to be done in month-3. Using this strategy, the minimum net cost will be $8,950.
The entire excel is given below.

I could not put this book down! It had every aspect of a great read. It was disturbing, interesting, sweet, backbiting, and encompasses all of that with a bit of truth.
The story of Anne Boleyn isn't completely accurate, but there's a lot in the history that is still unknown. The main points were fairly on track. I owned this book for months without picking it up and then the day I did I read the entire thing almost continuously. When not reading, it captured my mind and imagination and was a common topic of conversation.
Another plus is that after reading the book I actually did a lot of research on the Boleyns and King Henry. They were all mostly a deceitful crowd, but made drastic changes in English history. All-in-all, they were a fascinating bunch. A book that captures you in this way and draws you to continue research even after can't possibly get raided lower than a 5.
It also had amazing detail. Some books add detail and bore you, others add no detail in order to keep your attention. This one accomplished lots of detail and keeping consistent attention.

Thanks for putting your thoughts and your impressions based in your experience out for us to draw from. I agree that I have seen some really fine prints from Azo...but then I have also seen some very good prints on other papers or printed with other processes.
I think that the marketing hype surrounding Azo was part of the cult appeal of the paper. It was certainly good...but as you said it is time to move on.
The paper does not the photograph make.

The ATR 72-600 received European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification on 31st May 2011 and first delivery to Royal Air Maroc, which has an order for four aircraft of the type, is scheduled for next month.
The -600 series features new avionics developed in partnership with Thales: a new glass cockpit with five liquid crystal display screens, new communication, navigation, monitoring, flight management automatic pilot and alert management systems, and a new MPC computer system (including aircraft maintenance and protection functions).
It also features a new cabin, designed by Giugiaro, with new, even more comfortable seats which are also lighter-weight, and completely redesigned baggage stows offering 30% more roller bags stowage.
"The development of the new 600-series ATRs is based on our commitment to continue developing our line of aircraft in order to better meet the needs of regional airlines, in terms of operating costs as well as airworthiness and passenger comfort," says ATR's CEO Filippo Bagnato.
Like ATR 72-500s manufactured since early 2008, the ATR 72-600 is powered by PW 127M engines with maximum power 2,750 horse power per engine at take-off. Maximum range with full passenger load is 899 nautical miles (1,665 kilometres).
Since launching the -600 series programme in October 2007, ATR has received orders for a total of 170 aircraft. The manufacturer has sold five ATR 42-600s and 165 ATR 72-600s.
At the Paris air show where it announced 60 turboprop orders, 54 aircraft sales were for the ATR 72-600 model. Azul Linhas Aéreas ordered 10 ATR 72-600s while leasing companies placed orders for 50 aircraft of the type. GECAS ordered 15 ATR 72-600s and 15 options while Nordic Aviation Capital signed an order for 10 ATR 72-600s and 10 options. ATR also announced 19 ATR 72-600s and 12 options from two undisclosed orders. Earlier this year lessor Avation placed orders for four ATR 72-500s and four ATR 72-600s for application with Virgin Australia via a wetlease contract from Skywest Airlines.
"The various orders from the lessor community, such as Air Lease, Nordic Aviation Capital, and GECAS also show the potential demand for the aircraft on operating leases, which bodes well for the type amongst investors and owners alike," comments Collateral Verification's VP Commercial Aviation Services Gueric Dechavanne.
In 2010, ATR booked orders for 39 aircraft of the type and 20 options: Azul Linhas Aéreas ordered 20 ATR 72-600s, Air Lease Corp. ordered 10 ATR 72-600s while Caribbean Airlines place orders for nine aircraft. Since 2007, ATR has also booked orders from ATR 72-500 operators such as Air Nostrum, Air Caraibes, Air Tahiti and Kingfisher Airlines, while the ATR 72-600 has also recorded orders from the Italian Navy (four ATR 72-600s) and the Turkish Navy (nine ATR 72-600s).
"Demand for the ATR 72-600 has been very strong over the last 12 months due to its attractive operating economics, proven reliability of the family of products, and latest avionics suite upgrade over the ATR 72-500. We expect this aircraft will do very well and should also bring the bulk of the orders going forward as operators realize the benefit of the latest improvements to the aircraft, such as the glass cockpit," says Dechavanne.
ATR delivered 51 aircraft in 2010 and is keeping production this year "in the area" of 50-53 aircraft. However the number of -600 deliveries for 2011 remains unclear but by the end of this year, four customers RAM, Air Lease, Azul Linhas Aéreas and Caribbean Airlines, will receive their brand new aircraft. Air Lease has entered into lease agreements with TRIP Linhas Aereas for a total of six new ATR 72-600s.
ATR still plans to raise production next year to 70 aircraft, and possibly further in 2013-14 if the airframer is confident that the supply chain can cope.
Bagnato says the economy is improving again and capacity is growing. "Fleet utilisation is improving and there is a trend that new aircraft are pushing old generation aircraft out," he comments. According to him, emerging markets will fuel the global growth in the future while developed region's growth will remain below historical growth.
In its 20-year forecast, ATR anticipates a demand for 3,000 turboprops with a sale volume in excess of $20 billion. Bagnato says 40% will be for replacement fleet while the remaining 60% will be growth. The manufacturer is convinced that 30% of the demand for 3,000 turboprops over the next 20 years would be met by a larger aircraft. "Of the 3,000 turboprop market over the next 20 years, I anticipate that 900 to 1,000 aircraft will be larger size turboprops," Bagnato comments.
Values and Lease Rates
Lease rates for a new ATR 72-500 delivery are expected to be in the $170,000 to $185,000 a month bracket depending on the airline's credit and terms of the lease.
AVITAS believes that the market for the ATR 72-500 is fairly firm. Senior director - valuation and consulting Michael Miller notes the aircraft has fairly good operator diversity with the average number of units per operator at about five, although the top five operators represent 27% of the fleet. As of May, only three ATR 72-500s were being advertised as available for sale or lease, according to him. "In general, availability for the type has generally been consistently low as a result of its strong operating economics for regional airlines across a range of environments worldwide," he comments.
A 2011-delivery has a current market value of $18.11 million, according to AVITAS while lease rates are in the $163,000 to $188,000 a month bracket. At present, AVITAS values the ATR 72-600 at $500,000 more than a 2011 -500 aircraft. "This should command $5,000 to $7,000 more per month on a lease basis," says Miller.
List prices between the ATR 72-500 and ATR 72-600 models are around $1.3 million, according to latest campaigns.
Jonathan McDonald of IBA Group says the list price variance is not necessarily the best way to benchmark market value differentiation as some list prices will vary depending on options fitted to the aircraft.
Despite the lack of "true" transaction data, IBA Group would value a brand new ATR 72-500 passenger aircraft at $18.42 million. "Our lease rate range for the same aircraft, brand new - would be somewhere in the $170,000 - $185,000 area - essentially as near as a 1% lease rate factor," says McDonald.
McDonald explains that the PW127M engine on the -600 doesn't add any value as it can be fitted to -500 model and there's an Airworthiness Directives to bring the PW127Fs up to -M engine model.
"When it comes to the cabin upgrades in the -600, much of the value enhancement is perceived by the end user - in terms of aesthetics, enhanced comfort and ambience. The avionics and systems upgrades must add value in terms of enhanced reliability and service life longitude of the new avionics," he adds.
According to him, it can cost $1 million to upgrade a partial EFIS flight deck to full liquid crystal display EFIS Flight Deck. But McDonald points out that this cost halves once all the bugbears are ironed out.
A brand new passenger configured ATR 72-600 would have a current market value of $19.17 million, representing a $750,000 premium over the -500. "Our lease rate factor for the aircraft would still be around that 1% area, thence the lease rate would be in the region of $175,000-$192,000 a month," adds McDonald.
According to Dechavanne lease rates for the ATR 72-600 are $195,000 a month while the current market value of a new delivery is $19.25 million.
"With the price of oil continuing to remain high and many developing countries growing their current infrastructure to support the growth in air travel, Collateral Verifications sees this trend continuing which has and will provide further stability and improvements to the current values and lease rates," says Dechavanne.

Anybody local represented on the Preseason All-Big Ten Team this year? It seems like a straight forward enough question that there should be an easy answer.

Groce: Illini not shying away from NCAA tourney expectation
If you need a coach to bat first in a lineup of 14 consecutive press conferences — starting at 8 a.m. — you can do a lot worse than Illinois' John Groce. Ever intense, typically upbeat, often quite loud, Groce opened Big Ten media day in an O'Hare hotel ballroom with a bang, or at

Sweet N' Sour Cod with Cabbage and Broccoli
If you are watching your weight, this is a great health-promoting recipe for you. It's not just low in calories it also adds a wealth of nutrients, especially vitamins C and K, to your Healthiest Way of Eating. Enjoy!
1/2 medium onion, sliced medium thick
4 medium cloves garlic, pressed
1 TBS chicken or vegetable broth broth
1 TBS minced fresh ginger
2 cups small broccoli florets, cut into about 1/2-inch pieces with no stem
1 lb cod filet, cut into 1 inch pieces (use thick filets)
4 cups finely shredded green cabbage
2 TBS chopped fresh cilantro
salt and white pepper to taste
1 TBS sesame seeds
Sweet n' Sour Sauce
3 TBS tamari (soy sauce)
¼ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup mirin rice wine
2 TBS chicken or vegetable broth
2 TBS honey
salt and white pepper to taste
Slice onion and mince garlic and let sit for 5 minutes to bring out their health-promoting properties.
Mix together all sauce ingredients and simmer in a small saucepan over high heat for about 15 minutes, reducing it to half the volume. Set aside. This will intensify the flavor.
While sauce is reducing, prepare rest of ingredients.
Heat 1 TBS broth in a stainless steel wok or large skillet. Healthy Stir-Fry onion in broth for 1 minute over medium high heat, stirring constantly.
Add garlic, ginger, and cod and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
Add broccoli and continue to stir-fry for another minute.
Add cabbage and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add sweet n' sour sauce, cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serves
Healthy Cooking Tips:
When cutting and cooking cod for dishes such as this it is best to buy filets that are thick cut. Do not use thin pieces because they will fall apart. When making this recipe, you want to prepare all your ingredients before you start cooking. Once you start to stir-fry it goes fast and it is easy to overcook your ingredients if you are still preparing them. It is also important not to rush reducing your sauce. The flavor dilutes some after it is added to the rest of the ingredients, so you want it to have an intense flavor before adding. Make sure you don't cook the cabbage any longer than for 2-3 minutes, as it will begin to release its water and dilute the flavor of your dish. For best results slice it very thin and barely cook it.

Two days after a merry little high-altitude Christmas on Mount McKinley, Minnesota adventurer Lonnie Dupre took another snow day Tuesday as poor visibility stalled his second attempt in as many years to become the first person to make a solo January ascent of the North America's tallest peak.
Whiteout conditions kept Dupre inside a snow cave at the 9,600-foot level of the 20,320-foot mountain, the second time in three days he hunkered down while waiting for weather to improve enough for him to see where he's going.
Dupre is almost 2,000 feet closer to the summit than he was on Christmas day, when poor visibility prompted him to hole up for the holiday at 7,800 feet.
"He had a little Christmas tree, a spruce branch I plucked off one of the trees down here, and he made a little Santa Claus ornament out of a chocolate bar he had and made a star from the foil of the chocolate bar," said Stevie Anna Plummer of Anchorage, project coordinator for Dupre's climb.
Dupre, 50, is a polar adventurer from Grand Marais, Minn., whose accomplishments include circumnavigating Greenland via dog sled and kayak and mushing 3,000 miles from Prudhoe Bay to Churchill, Manitoba.
He was part of two-man teams for those expeditions, but he's doing Denali as a solo effort -- something few have ever attempted in the winter, a period the National Park Service defines as the three months between the Dec. 21 winter solstice and the March 21 spring equinox.
Last winter, Dupre enjoyed relatively good weather for the first several days of a January climb that lasted about three weeks. He made it to 17,200 feet before visibility became an issue and forced him to spend seven nights in a snow cave the size of a refrigerator. By the time he got a break in the weather, his body was so weak from spending so much time at high altitude that instead of resuming his ascent, he headed down the mountain.
Dupre's current effort began Thursday when Talkeetna Air Taxi flew him to the 7,200-foot base camp at Kahiltna Glacier. He has made slow but steady gains each day except for Sunday and Tuesday, Plummer said.
The plan for today is to head up to 11,200 feet -- provided visibility allows him to see at least 100 feet ahead, Plummer said.
Plummer said Dupre is carrying 222 pounds of gear and has enough fuel and food to last him through January.
He is not traveling with a tent -- he's digging trenches and snow caves instead -- and he is again traveling with a 14-foot aluminum ladder customized so he can wear it around his waist. The ladder's job is to keep Dupre out of crevasses.
Crevasses are just one of many hazards on Denali, which is particularly hostile in the winter. Daylight is scarce, snow is plentiful, the wind and cold can be deadly, and park rangers don't operate the base camp and aren't available to provide assistance.
Only 16 people have reached the top of McKinley in the winter, two of whom died on their descent. Only four climbers have made solo summits in the winter and only once has a summit been recorded in the dead of winter, meaning January. In 1998, Artur Testov and Vladimir Ananich of Russia summited on Jan. 16.
A January solo ascent has been driving Dupre ever since he climbed McKinley in the spring of 2009.
"He's said it's like this little bug, almost like an illness -- he can't get the idea out of his head," Plummer said. "He's just feel really drawn. There's something inside him that tells him this is what he needs to do. He feels compelled."

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Maisie McCabe, brandrepublic.com, Friday, 02 September 2011 03:20PM
Since 'Celebrity Big Brother' started (on 18 August), the show has been watched by an average audience of 2.35 million when it has been broadcast at 9pm, and 2.25 million when on air at 10pm.
Compared to the slot averages for the same period (18 August to 1 September) last year, the reality show has increased Channel 5's audience from 1.61 million between 9pm and 10pm, and from 1.16 million between 10pm and 11pm.
ITV has struggled to retain audiences over the summer and 'Celebrity Big Brother' has beaten ITV1 twice in the past five days in the 9pm slot.
Last night, an average audience of 2.10 million people watched former Atomic Kitten and reality star Kerry Katona get cross with 'The X Factor' contestants Jedward, between 10pm and 11pm on Channel 5, a 10.8% share of the available audience.
"Celebrity Big Brother' burst onto Channel 5's schedule a fortnight ago with an audience of 5.08 million, making it the fourth-most-watched show in the channel's history, and the highest rating show that was not a film or football game.
As the graph below shows, apart from last Saturday (27 August), since launch, the audience of 'Celebrity Big Brother'' has stayed above two million, with many of the shows delivering around 2.5 million viewers, a large audience for the channel.
Despite struggling earlier in the week at 9pm, ITV1 performed well last night with '9/11: Day that Changed the World', which was watched by 5.14 million viewers between 9pm and 10.30pm, a 23.1% share of the TV-viewing audience.

"To can or not to can"...that's what Hamlet should have been asking. But I won't dare rewrite Shakespeare, instead, I will ask whether canned food should have a place in your healthy gourmet kitchen.
I am working with the California Cling Peach Board, so I wanted to figure out their health benefits. I already know that I love peaches, and waiting 11 months for my fix isn't fun, so in the winter months, I find myself turning to the canned variety.
Here is what I discovered: canned peaches (which are picked ripe, at their peak) deliver a promising amount of nutrients that are actually enhanced by the canning process. Vitamin A, folate, lycopene and some anti-oxidants are made more bioavailable by the heating and canning process. But the truly impressive nutrient is Vitamin E.
Vitamin E is a fat soluble anti-inflammatory, anti-aging nutrient that is usually associated with nuts and seeds. And while those little bites are great for you, a small handful is all you can eat each day because of their caloric punch. Fruit sources, on the other hand, can be layered in without worry and consumed in satisfyingly high amounts.
There is even research to support that the canning process actually enhances the eye-protecting nutrients of leutin and zeaxanthan, as well as lycopene.
Some of the other cans that I always have on hand include:
February was National Canned Food Month and March is Nutrition Month, and I see no reason why the two can't get along.
Curried Peach Pork Tenderloin
This is one of those mildly curried dishes that takes no time to prepare and is a family-friendly quickie.

Labels are critical to help you keep track of your things. The same is true of the food labels that appear on every package in North American grocery stores, and those labels are subject to certain standards under the law.
There are also private labeling systems in place. The Health Check System in Canada, which is a Heart and Stroke Foundation initiative, comes to mind as one that hasn't lived up to rigorous enough standards.
In the US, there is the Hannaford Guiding Stars System, which is now implemented in Loblaw's stores in Canada. It's a 'quick peek' rating system to help customers identify the healthier products. Each product is given a rating of one, two, or three stars by a third-party panel of experts. Points are weighted according to the presence of positive attributes (like protein and fibre) and the absence of negative (white sugar, flour, salt, fat, etc.). It is a great quick way to help you pick up the best in class.
No matter the rating system on the product, once you get your products home, take the time to actually read the label and focus on:
Most of your nutrients will actually be coming from whole foods, so be sure that this is also where most of your calories come from and you will be right on track.

Alaska Marine Highway (AMH) ferry (2)
After 2 days and 2 nights in Valdez, I took the AMH Bartlett to continue my journey to Whittier. The ride was about 7 hours, and the ticket was $65 in 2002. Bartlett is one of the smallest vessels among AMH fleet. Bartlett has no berth (room) because this is a relatively short ride. But it has a nice restaurant where you can dine on the deck with incredible fjord view.
Although not a commercial service, AMH Bartlett made a few photo stops when crossing the beautiful Prince William sound. Due to Columbia Glacier's fast retreat, we couldn't get a clear view anymore. In the photo you can see icebergs floating out of the Glacier from about 10 miles away.

Alaska Marine Highway (AMH) ferry (1)
Alaska Marine Highway (AMH) is a convenient and inexpensive way to travel around Alaska. It's sometimes called "poor men's cruise". To some remote coastal towns and cities, AMH is the only transportation to the outside.
Consider visiting Valdez on AMH. Going east, Valdez has ferry service to Cordova (several times a week) and all the way to Inside Passage (once a month). Going west it's only a few hours to Anchorage (by way of Whittier) and Seward, crossing Prince William Sound (many times a week). The photo shows AMH ferry travelling in the beautiful fjords of Valdez Narrow. Use the website below to check their schedule.

The most beautiful way to get...
The most beautiful way to get to Valdez is to drive from Anchorage. The scenery along the way is spectacular, not to mention there is a great potential for spotting wildlife. Moose, caribou, coyote, etc.
If you are coming or going to...
If you are coming or going to Portage/Anchorage/Seward areas, then a great option is to take the 6 - 6 1/2 hour car ferry. Reservations are a must! Phone: (907)835-4436. Not only can you enjoy the scenery; the glaciers, mountains, and marine wildlife of Prince William Sound, but you can relax. You won't have to drive the long road route twice. Make a loop out of it. Photo: Getting ready to board the ferry very early in the morning in Sept. '96. The ferry leaves Valdez at 7:15 am. It goes to Whittier and returns from there around 2pm. There may be a second ferry with the reverse schedule. I'm not sure anymore.

Photo: From the ferry, close to Whittier. Once you disembark in Whittier, you have to drive your vehicle onto a train in order to get back to the highway and Portage. The train ride takes about 1 hour. You sit in your vehicle during this train ride. Your vehicle is secured on the train with tire blocks.
During the ferry ride you'll...
During the ferry ride you'll see lots of iceflows and small icebergs which have calved off the Columbia Glacier. You'll also possibly see whales, orcas, harbor seals, sea otters, and lots of seabirds.
You can travel on a flat...
You can travel on a flat iceberg or iceflow. It is slow, and the harbor seals may be annoyed with you for taking their ride, but it will truly be an adventure. Dress warmly, and don't fall off! A paddle will help you direct yourself through the currents.

33 year old man | Orlando, FL, USA | Seeking women 25-35
Lookin for someone to have fun, and spend some time with. I color outside the lines and I've been caught running with scissors. Forgive me.
I really don't know why I'm bothering with this. Even though this is who I am. Women are so skeptical about all men these days. Especially the ones filtering through the online masses to find a sensible and hopefully attractive guy. I'll say it. I'm beyond fun, handsome, and a gentleman. That's it. Ladies if you're no longer in college and have been trying to meet men in clubs and bars you've found out it's exhausting (and who wants to talk to every attractive person they see at Publix?). Am I right? Well I feel the same way about meeting women. Trying to be Casanova in an internet profile isn't ever gonna work. I'm in good shape, soooo topless pics??? Or maybe I could do my witty guy thing and drop one liners and be a comedian. Or list all the places I've been and talk about the boring stuff that we'll catch up on later. Like where I'm from, and my family, and my work , and blah blah blah. If I'm honest, and a woman is intelligent, and reads this little rant. We will find each other. Now a little wit and charm won't hurt but Im not going to be too cheeky in a profile. The lady I'm looking for will see I'm a down to earth guy who knows how to have fun, and doesn't take himself too seriously. My interests are a lot like yours most likely. When I wake up I throw some music on to start my day. Love the Florida sun. Definitely I have to get some type of physical activity in during the morning, running, lifting, etc. Eat a healthy breakfast and head to the office. After a day of taking care of business. I talk to the family back in New York, and its time to unwind. That could be anything from toasting to a relaxing evening on the couch over a home cooked meal, to a weekend at the casino. Maybe a night by the fire with friends. Bar hoping, possibly yelling at the tv on a Sunday afternoon. Really for me it doesn't matter. I'm in the real estate and travel business so travel is more than a hobby and I do love to get out of the house. Fun to me is knowing how to have a good time. It's not just going to a nice place or doing something different that makes the time you're spending with someone enjoyable. It's about playing around, joking, eating, drinking and laughing, all that cheesy stuff that guys hate to admit they love. I'm not scared to admit it because that's what life is about. Enjoying the good times in front of us, and not being afraid to admit that having an awesome partner in crime to share them with makes life better. Now, yes, yes. We all have our responsibilities. But the fun times are what we live for. If you're cool maybe we can share some. If not good luck to ya. Guess I'm not your match. However sensible fun women shoot me a message. Tell me about yourself, I'd like to know. But only if you're intelligent, energetic, confident, outgoing, and compassionate. Are you? I hope so because I'd luv to hear from you. I won't go on and on. It's your turn. I'm waiting...

Middle of the Road
It's gotta be good.
Farmingdale State College, Farmingdale, NY
My favorite thing to do by far has got to be exploring new cities. Life's adventures. There's nothin more exciting than discovering new places, and awesome stuff to do in parts of the world new to me.
Food, wine, reading, travel, pool, sports, and leisure in general. Beyond that I enjoy whatever I'm doing, and whomever I'm doing it with. Just enjoying being in the moment.

This is Buck's standard blade material because it approaches the wear resistance of high carbon alloys while delivering the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Add our exclusive heat-treat process and you have a very user-friendly combination of superior corrosion resistance with excellent strength for wear resistance and durability. You also have a blade that is easy to resharpen. For best performance we harden to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58.
Multiple Blade Shapes
Serrations give your Buck blade greater cutting power. Especially useful when cutting line and/or cables.
Over the years I have use lots of game shears. These shears are outstanding. I use them for Dove hunting and fishing and they will cut almost anything you ask them to cut. I've used them several times bay fishing and they seem to be holding up very well no rust, no corrosion of any kind and they are excellent for cutting hard to cut braided fishing line. These shears are absolutely worth every penny.
For this kind of money they should come with a lanyard.
Used them for the first time last week, fishing in Grand Lake, OK. Best fishing tool I ever used. Everyone, including the guide loved it.

Understanding the "Fearbola" Infection
The extent of the infection of the public mindset inevitably rises towards the apex of a full-blown panic. At this point, the reaction is given a name as if it has become its own threat. In this case, the word was an almost too perfect mix of the reaction and the cause: Fearbola. But as seen in the last week, once the apex has been reached, there is no other direction to go than down back towards calm.

Helps Reduce Anxiety
L-Theanine is a unique amino acid found almost exclusively in the tea plant (Camellia Sinensis) and is the primary ingredient contributing to the unusual taste of green tea. Animal studies have shown that L-theanine crosses the blood barrier, increases dopamine and GABA levels in the brain, and inhibits the stimulatory properties of caffeine. Human studies have shown that taking L-theanine results in the emission of brain waves associated with a state of relaxation.

Living With PAD
Resource Guide
The treatment goals of PAD are to relieve any current symptoms and slow progression of artery disease.
Treatment will depend on the severity of PAD and symptoms. PAD can often be managed with lifestyle changes to reduce factors contributing to artery disease. Others may need medication to help improve blood flow and decrease risk factor for blood vessel disease such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure. In severe cases, surgery may be needed.
Underlying conditions that contribute to PAD, such as high cholesterol,
or hypertension, they will need to be managed as well.
It is likely you will have a health care team that is made up of doctors, surgeons, nurses, pharmacists, and other health professionals. It is important to maintain contact with your medical team, adhere to recommended treatment, and go to any recommended appointments.
Treatment for PAD involves the following:
Lifestyle changes

I dunno....
This happened once before and after I asked I had a new temporary password PMd to me here about 2 hours after the fact.
Don't know how much has changed since I've been gone and if that is still possible. Can't imagine that it isn't though.
There are only two persons able to edit rights: Wimpy who's away for two weeks and Perr who isn't involved in our stuff and can only be reached through PM on IRC.
Things are quiet at the moment. It's september and many are back to school or to work. Others are on vacation.
And the ban rule is applied to everyone. Three wrong login attempts and you're out from both the site and the FTP. This can sound harsh but the admins have taken measures to prevent intrusions. Believe it or not, they even had to disconnect the server months ago because of an attack attempt. This policy was made for security not to persecute you in particular. This happened to me often and recently Gilou also had the same issue.

Nigeria's former Senior Special Assistant to the President on Due Process Office, Mrs Oby Ezekwesili last week challenged the federal government to a public debate of the facts raised in her recent 42nd Convocation lecture at University of Nigeria Nsukka that has elicited angry riposte from the government. Such public discourse is healthy for the country's image that has suffered so much battering as corrupt and directionless. It might also increase international goodwill for the country's leadership if it accepts this challenge and face the former minister with raw facts about how it has acquitted itself.
At the lecture, the former vice president of the World Bank had accused the government of frittering away the $67billion reserves inherited from the administration of ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2007. But the government disagreed. Both the Minister of Information, Labaran Maku and the President's Senior Special Assistant of Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, have raised issues putting a lie to Ezekwesili's submissions and 'slothful' allusions. Rather than addressing the issues, however, the president's spin doctors have accused the former minister of "collecting" N458 billion from the federal treasury without justifying its expenditure.
Whatever the claims or counter-claims, we hope the federal government's team would accept Ezekwesili's challenge in the interest of the rights to own opinion and justify its signature of the Freedom of Information Act (2011). Such an open debate of facts and figures of oil revenue since 2007 would help situate public accountability as the centrepoint of our democracy. In accepting to publicly debate the questions raised, the Federal Government would model the democratic culture of responding to citizens' demands for accountability especially at a time when the general public is eager for improvements in the good governance records of the administration.
Ezekwesili in a statement has said that she remained "resolute in demanding full disclosure and accountability by the Federal Government on the issues of poor management of oil revenues- especially the Excess Crude Account and the Foreign Reserve Account. The recent reaction by the spokesperson of the administration failed to respond responsibly to my demand for accountability." That's true but inconclusive until she's faced fact-for-fact on what the present administration has unearthed about her years in government and she defends herself publicly too. The diplomatic community, development agencies, non-governmental organisations, the media - local and international - should embrace this opportunity and enrich the debate by not only sponsoring it, but documenting and popularising it for posterity.
It will also be on record that some public officers still hold dear the principles of transparency and accountability in the discharge of their public trust. No one would believe that this kind of openness exists among Nigeria's ruling class. As an organisation, our commitment to open discourse and full disclosure of how our commonweal has been managed will make us compulsory partner for the debate. Only then can this government justify all the tirade heaped on the woman who believes her "my integrity and transparent record in public office can never be tarnished by baseless allegations regarding my ten months as Minister of Education."
