The Kawasaki Ninja 250R has been the world's best 250cc motorcycle for more than 20 years and got only minor upgrades over the years. However, not waiting for competition to gain any kind of advantage Kawasaki has finally given the Ninja 250R some significant upgrades that are noteworthy.
The 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 250R gets design changes all over the bike. The front now houses twin-headlights while the fairing has been redesigned to cool the bike faster and preventing rider from getting exposed to the heat. The Kawasaki Ninja 250R is now more aerodynamic. Ninja 250R gets a new muffler and tail. The Japanese automaker has also gone ahead and made changes to the 250cc, parallel twin engine, giving it new cylinders, piston, crank cases along with a revamped fuel injection system and dual throttle valves. The steel tube frame has been redesigned as well which cuts down vibrations. The company has given the Ninja 250R new suspension system and brakes along with offering ABS as an option which was a long due in face of the competition.
Keeping in tune with times Kawasaki Ninja 250R gets the new instrument cluster housing a rectangular LCD display along with an analogue tachometer, which is red-lined at 13,000 RPM. There are the usual tell-tale warning lights, which are spread across the complete cluster. The alloy wheels have been re-designed. The Ninja 250R has been given new dual tone colors too. The quarter-litre machine continues to weigh the same as before, but the ABS version is 2 kgs heavier at 174 kgs. Power figures are yet to be revealed but we expect them to remain the same at 33 BHP.
Expect Bajaj Auto to bring this beauty to India soon after the global launch. But if Bajaj has to give its competition in India run for its money, it should consider localization of this bike. Localization wil help bring down the cost of Ninja 250R by around 1 Lakh and as a by product increase its volumes in the Indian market.

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – Seven different Falcons scored as Air Force beat Niagara, 7-4, in an Atlantic Hockey Association game Sunday, Oct. 27, at the Cadet Ice Arena. The Falcons extended their winning streak to four straight games, the longest since the 2011-12 season, as the team improved to 4-2-0 overall and 2-0-0 in the league. Niagara fell to 1-4-1 overall and 1-1-1 in the AHA.
Ryan Timar, Ben Carey, Chad Demers, Scott Holm, Jason Fabian, Cole Gunner and Johnny Hrabovsky all scored for the Falcons.
Less than four minutes into the game, Timar gave the Falcons a 1-0 lead when he put back a rebound of a Dan Weissenhofer shot. Ryan Dau also assisted on the play. Niagara then scored two goals in a span of 88 seconds. Patrick Conte put back a rebound of Kevin Ryan's point shot to tie the game at 1-1 at 6:59. Niagara's Matt Chartrain gave the Purple Eagles 2-0 lead at 8:27. Matt Williams gave Chartrain the puck in the Niagara end and Chartrain skated down the left side. His first shot was saved, but he collected the rebound and scored on a wrap-around. Air Force then scored three unanswered goals to take a 4-2 lead. Carey tied the game at 9:13 from George Michalke and Mike McDonald. McDonald chipped the puck out of danger and Michalke skated the length of the ice. His shot hit a defenseman, but Carey put in the rebound for his first of the season. Demers gave the Falcons a 3-2 lead at 14:42. Michalke took a shot from the left side that was saved, but the puck came loose out of goaltender Adrian Ignagni's glove. Scott Holm and Alex Halloran poked the puck across to Demers who was open on the right side. Holm's second of the season gave the Falcons a 4-2 lead on the power play at 17:04. Demers and Gunner passed the puck around the back of the net and fed Holm on the left side. Holm took the puck to the net from the left side and flipped it over Ignagni's shoulder.
Niagara cut the Air Force lead to 4-3 at the 9:00 mark of the second period. Kevin Patterson's shot from the right point deflected off the skate of Mike Conderman and into the net for his third of the season. Sam Alfieri also assisted on the play. The Falcons answered 40 seconds later in a short-handed situation. Ignagni went to make a pass from behind his own net, but missed the puck. Fabian took it away and scored for his second of season. His goal gave the Falcons a 5-3 lead.
Midway through the third period, back-to-back penalties were called on Falcons McKenzie and Demers and Niagara had 1:16 of a 5-on-3. Air Force blocked four shots, with Mike McDonald blocking two, as the Falcons did not allow a shot on the two-man advantage.
With just over two minutes left in the third period, Niagara pulled its goaltender for the extra skater. Kevin Patterson fired a shot from the point that was saved and Ryan Rashid put back the rebound at 2:09 to make the score 5-4. Shortly after the ensuing faceoff, Niagara pulled its goalie again, but this time Air Force found the empty-net. Jacob Musselman chipped the puck out of the zone and Demers sent the puck ahead to Gunner. His writer from the left circle gave the Falcons a 6-4 lead. With 19 seconds left, the Falcons went on the power play. Fabian won the faceoff in the offensive zone and freshman Johnny Hrabovsky scored his first career goal with 13 seconds remaining.
Air Force fired a season-high 44 shots while Niagara had 38. AFA was 2-for-4 on the power play while NU was 0-for-4. Jason Torf made 34 saves for the Falcons. Ignagni made 37 for the Purple Eagles.
"The biggest difference in the game was our goalie was better than theirs and our special teams were better," head coach Frank Serratore said. "The turning point was when we killed the 5-on-3. Whenever you kill a 5-on-3, it can be demoralizing for one team and it can shift the momentum for us. That was a huge part of the game. We have not been a very dominant team at home the last couple years, but this group wants to change that. We are off to a good start with four straight wins at home."
Air Force plays a pair of conference games on the road next weekend as the Falcons play at RIT on Friday, Nov. 1 and at Mercyhurst, Nov. 2..

North Metro Atlanta's Golden Corridor
There are many wonderful areas within and around Atlanta, but there is no place quite like North Fulton County. A world of serenity, economic opportunity, and pleasure is found here, just a short drive north of the city. Ever-increasing prosperity, a rich and diverse cultural scene, unlimited recreational activities, world-class educational and medical facilities, and natural beauty combine with a rare sense of small-town charm, historic ambience, and welcoming communities to create an unparalleled quality of life here. Welcome to North Fulton County, the crown jewel of Metro Atlanta.
Our reputation as the region's epicenter of economic growth and social vigor grows as increasing numbers of new and established businesses discover the advantages of the Greater North Fulton area. Along Georgia 400, Roswell Road (Highway 9), and Medlock Bridge Parkway (Highway 141), companies are springing up at an unprecedented rate, while visitors and residents enjoy the numerous retail and dining experiences offered at North Point and Perimeter malls. Access to Sandy Springs, Johns Creek, and downtown Atlanta, whether by Interstate 285, Georgia 400, or MARTA rapid transit services, is quick, and convenient.
North Fulton County offers an extraordinary combination: thriving commerce, wisely planned development, and superb amenities along with historic charm, security, and gentle living - the best of Atlanta.
Most of Greater North Fulton County was once Milton County, created in 1857 from parts of Cherokee, Forsyth, and Cobb counties and christened in honor of John Milton, Georgia's first secretary of state. The town of Alpharetta was chosen as the Milton County seat.
The Milton County lifestyle was vastly different from the bustling atmosphere of urban Atlanta. Milton County was a quiet rural area where the gristmill served as the local "meeting place" and neighbors were seldom encountered except during trips to "town" and at church on Sunday.
The communities in the area at this time included Alpharetta, Crabapple, Fields' Cross Roads, Midway, Ocee, Shakerag, Warsaw, Newtown, Birmingham, Hopewell, and Webb. In those days, Roswell was part of neighboring Cobb County. Cotton was the primary cash crop, and Alpharetta's and Crabapple's cotton gins and mills were bustling with business.
After the Civil War, cotton production and milling again became Milton County's major industry, as well as that of the surrounding counties when Roswell Mill was rebuilt. The economic and employment strength of cotton and textiles continued well into the 20th century.
Due to the calamitous economic downturn of the Great Depression, the counties of Milton and Campbell sought to reduce the expenses of administering a county government by merging with neighboring Fulton County in 1932. Roswell was ceded by Cobb County to provide a land connection between Fulton and Milton Counties. Milton County became a footnote in history and the stage was set for the economic machine of Atlanta to extend northward.
Our Communities
Alpharetta – Pop. 57,571
Johns Creek – Pop. 76,728

Archived Story
Providing for our futurePublished 11:42pm Monday, January 23, 2012
Those who have ever pursued furthering their educations by attending a college or a university can attest to the financial perils they can sometimes face when embarking on such an endeavor.
Between the costs of classes, books, room and board, most young students need to learn to master the art of frugality while simultaneously learning the methods of begging, borrowing and selling used books on Amazon.
Paying for college can be a tremendously stressful event for all parties involved. For the young student, its coming to grips with the fact that they're on the hook for hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars to do an activity that entails exams and homework.
To the parents, their dreams of flying to Buenos Aires are grounded when Junior needs help with covering the cost of books and tuition.
Luckily for the Niles Four Flags USBC Youth bowlers, the participants of the Thursday Niles City B men's and the Ladies Night Out leagues at Joey Armadillo's, as well as a few other businesses in the area, recognize the potential hardships involved with paying for college and have devised a plan to help with the financial burdens.
The leagues hosted their Fifth Annual Raffle for the Youth event Dec. 23 and raised $995 toward their cause.
With their earnings from the previous years tallied in, the leagues have raised $2,495 in scholarships for youth bowlers heading off to college.
For their part, the organizers of the fundraiser are both humbled by the outpouring of support shown by the community and proud of their contributions made toward the betterment of the kids' futures.
"Unreal, it's just unreal. It is amazing to see what everyone in these leagues, this association and this community is truly capable of. To think this whole thing started on a whim and now, now it has grown into this. It's unbelievable," said Niles City B league secretary Dave Lembke.
Youth director Donna Medlin was also pleased with the outcome of this year's event.
"It makes me feel great. This is such a great, a great opportunity to give our kids a scholarship to go on and improve their education. It makes my heart just swell," she said.
When asked about the outlook of this event in the future Lembke was very optimistic that the raffle would continue to gain traction in the community and continue its upward trend.
"This event has gotten bigger every year and I really believe it will continue to grow. The sponsors are great, the bowlers are great and the bowling community is just fantastic when it comes to supporting the youth. So yeah, I think this thing will just get better and better," he said.
It is important to note that the success of this event, year in and year out is predicated upon the donations received from local businesses and individuals. With that, the leagues would like to thank O.K. Distribution of Dowagiac, Nate Wines of Dowagiac, Lowery's Meat Market of Buchanan, Wings ETC, Kevin Young of Niles and Joey Armadillo's for all the contributions made to this year's event.

Ursula Kemp and the St. Osyth Witches
In 1582, Ursula Kemp was accused of witchcraft along with thirteen other females. This event took place in a quiet coastal area of Essex, England, known as St. Osyth. Ursula was a poor woman, and the first accused of being a witch. She claimed that she would "unwitch", or break evil spells that were cast against people.
The Accusations
Her neighbor and friend, Grace Thurlow had a son named Davy who became very sick. She asked Kemp for her help, Kemp came over and put a spell on him. A few days went by and he became better, Thurlow believed that Kemp cured her son. Thurlow and Kemp got into an argument over the care of Thurlow's baby girl Joan. When Joan was a few months old she fell from her cradle, broke her neck, and died. Thurlow was upset and sick then turned around and asked for Kemp's help again. Kemp told her she would for 12 pence and when Thurlow felt better she refused to pay Kemp. She told Kemp she couldn't afford it. Kemp was upset and got into an argument with Thurlow who then became ill agian. She then blamed Kemp for her and her son's illness and even her own baby's death.
Later Thurlow believed that Kemp had something to do with her intolerable pain and brought the incident to Judge Bryan Darcy. Darcy then took the investigation into his own hands and began interrogating those who knew Kemp. He questioned Thomas, her eight-year-old son, who told the judge about his mother having four familiars who would suck blood from his mother's arm. He described the animals as a grey cat named Tyffin, a black cat named Jacke, a black toad named Pygine, and a white lamb named Tyttey. He also interviewed a man claiming that Kemp put a spell on his wife and died as a result.
Darcy confronted Kemp who denied everything, that is until the judge tricked her and told her if she confessed then he would be lenient on her. She confessed about her familiars and told on the other thirteen witches.
All of the women were charged with crimes of bewitching people to death, putting spells on animals, butter churning, and making people sick with spells. Not all of the women went on trial, four pleaded not guilty, four more were convicted and then let go. One was charged with having an evil eye and was sent to prison for one year. Two women were hanged, Kemp was one of the unlucky two, both were charged with murdering three people to death with spells between the years of 1580-1582.
Displaying Her Body
Way after her death, in the mid-1900′s, her body was dug up by Cecil Williamson, an occultist, and was put on display in a museum in an open coffin lined with dark purple satin. This whole event was televised. Williamson noticed Kemp's body had a few iron spikes in the chest, which meant people feared that she would come back to haunt or vampirize them. Williamson sold the museum in 1996 to Graham King, who then moved it to Boscastle, Cornwall. Williamson kept the remains of Kemp for his collection until his death in 2000, then the remains went to King. Today, the witches are often referred to as the "St. Osyth Witches."

I'll get back to the Norwegian adventures shortly, but first, here's a post I forgot to publish.
I like to keep in touch with current events in the home country and two items have struck a chord recently. I think there might be a link.
The first issue is that Aussie kids are getting fatter. Obesity rates of the deep fried chips off the block are ballooning – pun intended. One in four of them are overweight or obese these days. One in four. I might be romanticising a little, but I seem to remember an active sunshine-filled childhood where we swam all day and played out until the streetlights came on – that was a common rule on my street. Point is, we were active. I could understand it in a country like Britain where we get half an hour of decent weather a year and it's usually on a weekday. In fact, there is usually only a period of 2.5 months where temperatures in the UK are vaguely higher than they are in Oz. It's June and we're still not at that point yet, just so you know. The British weather is positively discouraging to an active lifestyle, so I feel for kids here. And yet Aussie kids are stacking the spare tyres faster than a Kwik-Fit on a Saturday.
The second issue that has piqued my interest is that back in Oz, parents are up in arms about their little darlings no longer getting a free bus pass to school unless they have to walk greater than 2.3km (primary kids) or 2.9km (secondary kids) [source] to get there.
It got me thinking how that compares to British kids – given I see plenty of them moodily traipsing to the local school, heads slung low staring at their iPhones. And I was a little surprised at what I found. Here in Cheshire, primary school kids have to walk 3.2km and secondary kids 5km before a free bus is laid on. [source]. 5KM. I've never been on mumsnet, but I don't hear any outrage about this imposition in the press.
I'm not saying this is the only factor in why Aussie kids are fat by any stretch. But I think it's time they harden up a little, get their sneakers on and make their own way to school. Leave the whinging to the British, please.

FAQ - Layoff Resources
Yes. Campus departments may review your personnel file before making a selection. It's a good idea to request a review of your personnel file so you'll know what is in it, so you can be better prepared for job interviews. You want to be able to give your perspective on anything that is in your personnel file, since the department may not review your personnel file until after the interview.
PPSM and many of the labor agreements (CUE, UPTE Research, UPTE Technical, AFSCME) provide for reasonable release time with pay for job interviews on campus (and comparable time for interviews on other campuses). Paid release time is provided for you to meet with a campus Employment Analyst to work on your job search efforts (including resume preparation). Talk to your supervisor about the possibility of working on your resume or doing other job search activities that are not disruptive during work time.
If several employees apply for the same position under preferential rehire rights, the hiring department will review the resumes in the order in which they were received.
You may be able to work in temporary assignments during this period, depending on your skills, the type of assignments available, and other eligibility criteria, based on current policies and contractual agreements.
Trial employment applies to preferential rehire, but not to recall. The difference between trial employment and probation is that if you are released during trial employment, you are placed back on layoff status without any loss of time towards your preferential rehire eligibility period.
Recall rights are rights back to the same department and same classification title held at time of layoff. The responsibilities and requirements could vary but if the department has a need for the classification title, it will refer to their recall list.
If you accept a job off campus, you can still exercise your preferential rehire and recall rights during your eligibility period. Be sure to verify your eligibility period with your recruiter in Employment Services or your Department Personnel Manager.
You can apply for as many jobs as you wish, as long as they meet the eligibility requirements for preferential rehire under the contract or policies that govern your employment and as long as you meet the qualifications of the job.
Refusing a job offer while you're on preferential rehire or recall status may cause you to lose your preferential rehire and recall rights. The number of refusals allowed varies by policy and union contract, so you should check the contract or policy that governs your employment for details. The recruiter in Employment Services will also give you a layoff checklist that will include this information.
Preferential rehire covers any open, vacant position for which you are qualified and which is at the same salary or lower salary range midpoint as your former position. If you are covered by a bargaining unit, preferential rehire rights only apply to positions within that bargaining unit.
All University employees have certain rights in relation to layoff, unless they are Managers and Senior Professionals in Salary Grades VIII and IX or in the Executive Management Program. Your rights may vary depending upon the union contract or personnel policy that governs your position. These rights may include preference for reemployment and recall to the job from which you are laid off. You may be eligible for severance pay. To learn what you are eligible for, read the union contract or Personnel Policies for Staff Members that covers your position, in the section(s) relating to layoff or reductions in time.
If you believe your layoff violates the union contract or personnel policy covering your position, you may file a grievance (under union contracts) or a complaint (under Personnel Policies for Staff Members). The grievance and complaint procedures are included in the union contracts and in Personnel Policies for Staff Members.
The UCRP retirement calculation is based on your age and total service credit at time of retirement and your highest average plan compensation (HAPC), the full-time salary rate over any consecutive 36-month period. Therefore, accepting an appointment at a lower compensation level will not reduce your HAPC.
If you meet eligibility requirements, (a University of California Plan member who is age 50 or more with 5 years or more of retirement service credit or a member of a reciprocal retirement plan) the University may continue to contribute toward the cost of your University-sponsored medical and dental coverage when you retire from the University. To be eligible, you must begin receiving monthly retirement income within 120 days of your separation from employment (your coverage in the medical and dental plan must be uninterrupted during this period). Your eligibility for this benefit also depends on the date you were hired and your years of service credit in UCRP or other retirement plan to which the University contributes. For more information, see the Retirement Handbook (PDF), also available from your Department Benefits Counselor.
UC's health plans do have mental health coverage. For more information on how to access this coverage, contact your health plan directly or go to CARE Services, who can assist you with a referral.
Some benefits can be continued through the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act (COBRA). You and/or your eligible family members may be eligible to continue your UC-sponsored medical, dental, vision, and Health Care Flexible Spending Account (Health FSA) through COBRA continuation. Note: All payments under COBRA, including those for the Health FSA, are with after-tax dollars; you must apply within 60 days of receiving a COBRA notice or your layoff date, whichever is later.
Some coverage can be maintained for four months by paying premiums, and then converted: You may continue your Supplemental Life, Dependent Life, Accidental Death, and Dismemberment for up to four months after the month your layoff begins. To make arrangements, contact Angela Dizon (firstname.lastname@example.com or 642-0684) in the Central Payroll Office.
Some coverage can be converted: You may convert your Basic Life, Supplemental Life, and/or Dependent Life (each plan converts from group life to an individual policy) within 31 days of your coverage end date without proof of insurability. For more information, contact the Prudential Life Insurance Conversion Office at 1-877-889-2070, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, EST.
Some coverage stops: Group disability insurance, Business Travel Accident, and Workers' Compensation end on your last day actively at work.
Generally, you are eligible for unemployment insurance if you are laid off. Contact your local Employee Development Department (EDD) or look on the EDD website to file a claim and locate Unemployment Insurance benefits information.
The EDD Unemployment Insurance booklet is located on the EDD website as follows:
- Go to the EDD website.
- Click on Forms & Publications in the left column under General Information.
- Find Unemployment Insurance Publications and click on Forms and Publications in this section.
- Scroll down to the DE2320 publication, For Your Benefit-California's Programs for the Unemployed, available in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Vietnamese.
The What To Do If You're Being Laid Off and Benefits Checklist Supplement, provide full information about how benefits are affected when an employee is laid off.
Yes. If a career employee's time is reduced, it is considered a layoff, and the employee is entitled to layoff rights. If an employee has a 100% appointment and it is reduced by 20% to an 80% appointment, the employee has layoff rights to a 100% position. This is true no matter what percentage of time this job is reduced to.
A reduction of time is a layoff only if the University tells the employee he must reduce his time. If the employee requests a reduction, it is not a layoff.
A furlough is that portion of a partial year career appointment during which an employee does not work, planned in advance as part of the schedule. For example, a unit may not need certain staff during the summer months and every year these employees are scheduled to be off for the months of July and August. Furloughs may not exceed a total of three months in a calendar year.
A temporary layoff, however, is usually due to unexpected loss of funding. Staff is laid off for a short period of time (not more than four months) and is then returned to work. Check the applicable contract or PPSM policy for details.
The notice procedure for laying off a group of employees at the same time, when they are covered under the same contract, may differ depending on the provisions of the contract. For example the UC CUE agreement specifies that for five or more full time equivalent (FTE) CUE employees being laid off at the same time, the University must notice the union at least 45 days before the layoff date. The union may use this time to meet with the department to discuss the impact of the layoff. Any meeting would be coordinated through the Labor Relations Unit.
Because contracts have different provisions, it is best to talk to your Employee Relations Specialist about exact requirements for your situation. However, usually the following is required: proposed layoff date, the reason for the layoff, budget information and other information used by management in reaching the decision, names, classification, seniority points for employees in the same classification, rationale for out-of-seniority layoffs, and "before" and "after" organization charts.
The Labor Relations unit provides the notice to the unions after you provide the information to your Employee Relations Specialist, who will coordinate with Labor Relations. The process for the final notice may take up to a week.
Generally, a layoff is by seniority, which means that the least senior person (amount of service with the University) in the classification is laid off. In some situations certain positions require very "special skills," which may require the retention of the employees in these positions. If this occurs, a more senior person may be laid off first. This is an out-of-seniority layoff. Please see Seniority Provisions Calculations for detailed information.
"Special skills" are considered in out-of-seniority layoff actions. There may be situations where a position requires special licensing that the senior person cannot acquire. Or the position may require a credential that cannot be obtained in a reasonable amount of time (3-6 months). The same would hold true if special skills were needed that the senior person could not acquire within a reasonable period of time (3-6 months). Rationales for out-of-seniority layoffs should state that specific skills are required and why the senior person cannot acquire them in a reasonable amount of time.
Your first contact when contemplating a layoff action should be with your Employee Relations Consultant. He/she will help you develop a time line for layoff notice to the employee and the union. In general, we want the employee to be informed as soon as the layoff date has been set.
It's important that you communicate with employees early and often. When you believe layoffs may be possible, keep the staff informed. When you are ready to provide information to the union about specific individuals, tell the employee(s) who are the most likely to be laid off that their position/work is targeted, but that it is in the proposal state. Employees should find out from you, not from the union, that they may be laid off. More detailed information about communications related to layoff may be found in the Communication Guidelines for Departments.
Funding for severance payments when a layoff occurs will be made available through department funds. Departments will want to consider the potential obligation to make severance payments as a part of the budget planning process.
Most contracts and policies specify whether or not severance pay is appropriate. For example the UC CUE agreement specifies that severance pay can be given in lieu of preferential rehire and recall rights. First, read the appropriate contract or policy. Then if you have questions, contact your Employee Relations Specialist to determine whether severance pay can be offered in your layoff situation.
The department that is rehiring an employee needs to ask whether the employee has received severance from the University. If the employee has, and is still receiving severance, the department that originated the layoff calculates the amount to be refunded to the University. To determine repayment policy, consult the appropriate contract or policy.
In PPSM, for example, if an employee received 12 weeks of severance pay and returned to a career position two weeks after being laid off, at the same or higher salary and at the same percentage of time as the position held at the time of layoff, he would owe the University back pay for 10 weeks. The amount would be calculated based on gross earnings and would be submitted to payroll for processing.
The department and employee work out an arrangement for the payback. Payment can either be made in a lump sum or through payroll deduction. Lump sum payments should be made out to UC Regents. If payroll deduction is chosen, a reasonable payback schedule should be determined. For example, it may be reasonable to ask the employee to have one week of severance deducted from his paycheck for each upcoming month. This agreement should be in writing. Individuals should confer with their personal tax consultants regarding tax implications.

P.E. Central Lesson Plan: Off to a Good Start
Purpose of Activity:To have students identify strategies they will individually use to be successful in the physical education course or activity. It is hoped that students will examine all aspects of what makes a successful physical education student -attitude, effort, preparation, etc.
Suggested Grade Level:6-12
Materials Needed:Lined paper plus writing utensil for each class member; Construction paper in a variety of colors; Markers; Bulletin board or other display area; Xerox copies of a sneaker for each class member;
Lesson Plan:Description of Idea
Students will complete a typed worksheet which asks them to identify 5-10 actions they will take in order to be successful in the physical education class. (e.g., "I will come dressed for activity" or "I will make a sincere effort at all times", etc.)
After completing the worksheet (which I collect and read), students will decorate their own individual sneaker.A large octopus (made of construction paper) with many "legs" is placed on the bulletin board (I used my P.E. Leadership students to make this) and as students complete the decoration of their personal sneaker, they place it on the board on one or the tentacles with a push pin.Above the octopus is "Let's Get Started on the Right Foot..."
At completion it provides a very large visual reminding the entire group of their collective efforts to do well in class.

text: I've got a Rigida rim here that says "Super Chromix", "Chromage" on it and has a "10" stamped along with an "88" in a diamond. I bought it as a stopgap for $5 years ago for a Raleigh. I take it that it's chrome plated steel (thought "chromage" was French for "chrome plating"). Does the 10 and the diamond "88" mean it's an October 1988 manufacture, or is that something else? Does anyone have any information on these rims? I'm just curious-- it actually gave decent service and was surprisingly light for a steel endrick.

- Elway shows a proactive side with presence at Senior Bowl
MOBILE, Ala. — When Colorado cornerback Jalil Brown was fortunate enough to find an invitation to the Senior Bowl in his mailbox, he was assured of many things.
Things such as plenty of coveted gear, an opportunity to make his case in front of the NFL's decision-makers and maybe even a little national TV airtime.
He is not counting on any second chances.
"That's how you have to look at every play in practice and every play in the game (Saturday)," Brown said. "There are no 'get it next times,' no do-overs. What you do here is what you do and what they'll remember."
While most scouts would rather take a root canal or two rather than show their true feelings for a player before the April draft, it's clear Brown has turned some heads this week.
At 6 feet and a 1/4-inch and 202 pounds, Brown is the biggest cornerback invited to this annual all-star affair, especially since his Buffs counterpart Jimmy Smith turned down an invitation. Brown has shown quickness and agility, making him a popular target after practices as scouts gather his contact information.
"It's just a fortunate situation for me," Brown said. "I've been working hard since the season was over. I just want to let everybody know I'm a guy they might be sleeping on, that I'm a guy they should be looking towards if they're not.
"When I wanted to take a day off, skip a workout after our season was over, I just would tell myself this was something that was waiting for me, that I had too much work to do to get where I wanted to go."
Brown has been working out in Bradenton, Fla., to prepare for Senior Bowl week and will return there Monday to get ready for next month's scouting combine in Indianapolis. Most teams see him as a mid-round pick, but because big cornerbacks often move up the draft board during selection weekend, he has a chance to significantly improve his standing in the next few weeks.
Teams also like his ability on special teams, having been the Buffs' special-teams player of the year as a redshirt freshman. He 46 tackles and three interceptions in the 2010 season.
He also saw this week as a chance to showcase his skills, given that Smith had been scouted heavily as a potential early-round pick.
"We both received a lot of attention," Brown said. "He probably got a little more, but we both were on the radar, I think. I'm very excited to have the opportunity to play here, and every time I get an opportunity to make a play, I want to make one.
"I want to show 'This is me' and I'm ready to interview for this job, let them know I can play with the best, that I can do what a smaller corner can do and I have the size a lot of guys don't.
"I can do it all."

Sunshine5 Stars Out Of 5Can't get enough!May 3, 2015SunshineQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I loved the first three in the series and this one did not let me down! I couldn't put it down. Don't want to give way anything in my review for soon to be readers. If you like action and end of time books, you should read all four books, you won't regret it!!!
Jimbo49Spokane, WAAge: 45-54Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Ripped from Today's HeadlinesApril 22, 2014Jimbo49Spokane, WAAge: 45-54Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Mark of Evil brings to life the power of the internet and how this can be used to control people. Another aspect is the BIDTag which reminds me of the modern pet ID chip. The book is thrilling from start to finish leaving the reader on the edge of their seat as Tim LaHaye and Craig Parshall spell out the battle between the Remnant after the rapture and the anti-christ's governmental power. If you are just starting the series, begin with the first book, Edge of Apocalypse and go through in chronological order. Awesome reading and will strengthen your faith in Jesus Christ.
lcjohnson1988IndianaAge: 45-54Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5March 18, 2014lcjohnson1988IndianaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4The first three novels in this series were extraordinary, beginning with Edge of Apocalypse, next Thunder of Heaven, followed by Brink of Chaos, concluding with Mark of Evil. Mark of Evil is a fictional story of what occurs on the earth after believers are taken to heaven, referring to the Rapture. Personally, I haven't made a purposeful point to study end time events, so don't read this book looking for answers. Read the Bible if you desire to understand more of what God has and hasn't revealed about what is to occur before Jesus returns.
Mark of Evil lays out the fictional underground church in many nations that has joined the Global Alliance group. The United States is not one of the participants and is under the leadership of a man named Colliquin whose sole desire is to be The One people look to. Colliquin has hired many workers to reprogram those who have the tag under their skin and also has plans to overtake the internet worldwide. Readers will be able to tell whose side this fictional player works for and it isn't good; in fact, it is downright evil.
Ethan March was chosen to head the group Joshua Jordan had founded and operated. He had left behind a series of video messages for his predecessor to lead him through the Tribulation time. The threat on Ethan's life is never-ending and he is always trying to stay one step ahead of the Global Alliance. There are others who desire to advance the kingdom of God as well as those who wish to destroy it completely.
Toward the end of the novel, the pace of the action gains speed along with an increase in the level of tension. There are many characters that are operating underneath the radar of the evil one in order to avoid capture and torture. Some are caught and killed, others are given knowledge and supernatural guidance in escaping, but the audience will be caught up trying to figure out who will or will not escape.
There is an aspect of the hope that the gospel brings throughout the book, which is great. There is also a budding romance that began in the third novel of this series and continues here. Although I enjoyed reading the book, I think the first two were the best of all four, but don't pass up reading a good suspense novel!
Julieanne MillerOregonAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Great fast-paced fiction!March 11, 2014Julieanne MillerOregonAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5If you have been wondering if maybe after the rapture, things would be OK if you were maybe left behind, then you need to read Mark of Evil by Tim LaHaye and Craig Parshall. It sounds far out and techno crazy, but the way our world is going, it could happen.
Those who were "left behind" are working diligently to save lives and bring more people into a saving relationship with Christ.
However, it isn't easy! Far out technical inventions that are so sophisticated that you are sure the enemy might be able to read your mind have been put into use! Then there is a decidedly demonic and murderous former Vice President who became president under very suspicious circumstances. She has now set her sights on being head of the Global Alliance for Region One, The United States, Canada and Mexico. She will stop at nothing to reach her goal. Can she succeed?
Meanwhile, plans are being made to take over the internet and to insert Global Behavior Modification, with the goal of trying to control everyone's behavior. Well, you see what I mean. You simply do not want to be here! Reading about this is fun, but to have to live through it, No way!
LaHaye and Parshall have taken The End series one step up from Left Behind and added complicated technology to write a compelling, scary tribulation story. Could evil really be this evil? Read Mark of Evil to find out. But before you do, you will want to make very sure that you will not be "Left Behind." See John 3:16,17 for complete instructions.

From the back cover: Economies have fallen, freedom has been suppressed, and peace is a distant memory. The world is falling apart.
Joshua Jordan's protege Ethan March, along with Jimmy Louder and Rivka Reuban have been left behind in a world that is rapidly coming under the complete influence of the Antichrist. Technology is growing by leaps and bounds, with BID-Tag implants, robotic police units, and drone-bots flying overhead . . . all designed to control and dominate those who resist the Antichrist's reign of evil.

From New York Times best-selling author Tim LaHaye, creator and co-author of the world-renowned Left Behind books, and Craig Parshall, Mark of Evil is the final thrilling chapter in The End series.
With high-tech thrills against a background of prophetic events that seem to leap from today's news, this is the story of global tribulations bringing the world one step closer to the reign of the Antichrist and the return of Jesus Christ in glory.
The Rapture has occurred, people are required to have bar codes embedded in them and if you do not then killer drones are sent out to hunt you down and kill you. These are just some of the ingredients that are the recipe for "Mark Of Evil". Tim LaHaye and Craig Parshall have given us a roller coaster ride of suspense, danger, adventure and politics that will keep you flipping pages as fast as you can read them. Unlike a previous series by Dr. LaHaye this series is set not to far from where we are today. Dr. LaHaye is using Bible prophecy to show how close we are to what the Bible tells us will happen.
Craig Parshall, known for his legal fiction, has written a page turning, heart-thumping thriller with careful attention to the state of the world right now and how the Bible says we will turn out. Many of the "things" that are mentioned in the book are in place right now and in use, even though most of us are not aware of them. Dr. LaHaye and Craig Parshall have one agenda in mind and that is the salvation of many through this work of fiction. Their zeal is that many will have their eyes open to the state of our world and see that much of where we are currently and where we are poised to go the Bible has already warned us of and that we would understand our need for a savior. They do a truly remarkable job in this book while exciting us with this story that everyone will enjoy.

Hardware Review: Digital Storm Bolt
Options and Configuration
Like other gaming desktops in the Spec Ops family of Digital Storm PCs, the Bolt has "limited customization." This means some components (CPU, GPU) can be swapped out for other options, but certain parts of the build, like the motherboard and power supply, are static. "Static" does not mean proprietary, as the motherboard in the Bolt is a Mini ITX part from Gigabyte (you can buy the same board on Newegg for $120), and the power supply, while "custom built for Digital Storm" is a 1U model usually reserved for servers. All the cooling systems on the Bolt are custom-made, so you can't sub in your favorite Noctua cooler, I'm afraid.
Digital Storm has four different pre-built levels, starting with Level 1 at $999. A grand buys a Core i3 CPU and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti. Going up to Level 4 ($2,499) boosts the CPU to a Core i7-3770K, and you get an Nvidia GeForce TITAN GPU. Our review unit is based on the $1,599 Level 3 part list:
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77N-WIFI Mini ITX
GPU: eVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2 GB
Power: 500W
RAM: 8 GB Corsair DDR3-1600
OS Drive: 120 GB Corsair Neutron GTX
Storage Drive: 500 GB Seagate 7,200rpm
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
The Gigabyte motherboard supports wireless, but our review unit came sans-antennae, so I wasn't able to test the onboard WiFi (if you buy a Bolt, your system comes with the antennae, as well as all the discs and documentation you'd expect). Also, our unit has a 500 GB storage drive, while the normal Level 3 setup has a 1 TB drive instead. Finally, Windows 8 is an option on the Digital Storm site, but our unit (and all units) come with Windows 7 as the primary choice for the operating system — a wise choice, I think, since this isn't a touchscreen machine.
The Bolt's case is 100-percent custom, meaning you won't find it for sale on Newegg or any other site. Instead of a door on either side, the Bolt uses the old school housing method (think back to your older HP desktops), and both sides and the top come off as one solid piece of aluminum. The housing is attached to the chassis via four thumbscrews on the back, and the housing comes off with a small dose of elbow grease (and mind the wires in the front when you're taking it apart).
Once the housing is off, you'll see just how much TLC Digital Storm has put into the Bolt. Everything is tightly packed into the case, while leaving access open to anyone who's worked inside a PC before — so beginners might want to tread with caution. Everything uses Phillips-head screws, so if you have a screwdriver, you can go to town inside the Bolt.
The GPU is mounted above and behind the motherboard, using a special adapter to connect to the PCI express slot. I was able to unseat the video card, but after a few minutes of tinkering, I wasn't able to get it out of the case. Others might have better luck, but it seems like you'll have to unscrew and shift the position of the power supply to get the GPU out.
GPU aside, the hard drives are in a more upgrade-friendly position to the left of the motherboard. Our unit came with two hard drives — one solid-state drive for the operating system, and one storage drive — but you can have up to three drives in the Bolt (two SSD, one platter).
Ports are plenty on the Bolt, too, with four USB (two 2.0, two 3.0) and audio and mic in the front, and another four USB in the back (two 2.0, two 3.0). Other ports include the usual audio suite (digital optical out included), two Ethernet ports, two WiFi antenna connectors, and DVI and HDMI on the motherboard. The latter would be used with the integrated video on the Intel CPU, and the Nvidia card up top has its own suite of connectors, per usual.
A quick note about the audio inputs: They are very soft out of the box. Make sure you go into the Recording Devices options menu and crank the levels and boost before you hop in Ventrilo or Teamspeak.

Reviews by OriginallyNamed
One of the Best Games of the YearOriginallyNamed | Nov. 6, 2013 | Review of Batman Arkham Origins - PC
First of all, let me just say that I'm a really big fan of the "Batman: Arkham" franchise. That being said, I was a bit disappointed when I heard that WB Games Montreal was going to help develop it. For those who don't know, WB Montreal also developed Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition, which generally got a worse rating than the original release, mostly due to unnecessary/annoying additions to the gameplay and a few technical issues. In addition, it was also announced that voice actors Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy weren't going to reprise their roles. Luckily, I found Arkham Origins to be quite good. They didn't take too many liberties with the backstory and I found that most (if not all) gameplay additions worked relatively well. The graphics, score, and voice-acting are all very well done, too. My only problem with the game was that there were a few bugs (at least in the PC release), however the majority of those were fixed within the first two weeks after launch. Overall, "Origins" is a very entertaining game and I highly recommend it.

Junk e-mail doesn't bother me much but unsolicited phone calls do. I love political ads on television and radio but when they resort to "robocalls", I'm not a happy camper.
Have you ever wondered how the calls work? Apparently my e-mail address was sold as part of a list to PoliticalcallsNow.com and they're sending me a lot of junk e-mail about "junk phone calls" designed to get people to vote for me. Certainly I'm not part of their target market as the last time I ran for anything was Student Government Association in my freshman year of college -- over 28 years ago. The e-mail message says "Turn out the Vote! Remind them who to vote for – YOU! Get your personalized message out to thousands of potential voters. Reach your voters for a fraction of the cost of traditional mail. Time is running out! Get your order in today. Only 2.7 cents per connected 30 second call."
TIME OUT! All they have to pay for the inconvenience of interrupting my dinner, getting me off the computer or pulling me away from the television is 2.7 cents? Ouch!
Next time your phone rings with a politician asking you for your vote, you'll know what it's worth to them -- 2.7 cents per connected 30 second call. Thanks anyway but I'd rather get a political brochure in the mail, hear the ad on the radio or watch it on television.

Nippon Ichi Looking to Release a Bunch of Games on Steam
NIS America is releasing a game called Clan of Champions on Steam soon, but that's just the tip of the iceberg, maybe. Says NISA president Haru Akenaga to Siliconera:
For PC, we are going to release several titles for Steam. I can't say for sure, but in the future there may be a chance [to see other] Nippon Ichi titles on Steam.
We are planning to do something seriously with Steam. At this moment, we cannot announce anything about our Steam projects other than Clan of Champions.
It would be great if we could get some more NIS imports on Steam. Just fantastic. Bring it, guys.

Rarely do artists like to admit that stale feelings are a source of inspiration, but that's just what German-based electronic artist Emika told Hive her new song "Centuries" spawned from. "'Centuries' is my electronic rebel song in response to a stale attitude … it is about the burden of time and history on creativity. It's about surrendering to the past in order to exist in the future." So, it's about a lot of things, but for us, it's a nice representation of the dark electro-pop that lines her her album Dva and the song actually serves as a bookend to the whole recording project.
"I began writing this in November 2011, and I wasn't able to finish it until the journey of Dva took place," she says. "It was the last song on the record I finished producing about one year later. I live my music, and it finishes itself when the time is right."
While her focus leans much more on dance-oriented music these days, the UK-native was actually a classically-trained musician, specializing in piano and composition. That serious background trickles into her recent work, but in a more narrative sense. "Dva is a record of extremes and the brutal truth," she says. The inspiration comes from "Eastern Europe, my family, my fight to exist as an artist, my fight to work in the industry as a producer, and the experiences of my travels as a musician."
Emika's Dva is out June 11 on Ninja Tune.
