Seattle Form of Government
Seattle is a Charter City with a Mayor-Council form of government. The Mayor is directly elected by the voters and most executive departments report to the Mayor. There are nine City Councilmembers, all of whom are elected at-large. The only other elected position is the City Attorney, who is also elected at-large. The regular term of all offices is four years.
Candidates for these offices must be U.S. Citizens, registered voters in the City of Seattle at the time they file their declaration of candidacy, and able to read and write the English language.
All City office elections are non-partisan, which means the top two vote-getters in the primary election are placed on the general election ballot. This is true regardless of whether or not one candidate received a majority of the primary vote. If two people or less file declarations of candidacy for any of these offices, that office does not appear on the primary election ballot, but does appear on the general election ballot. Parties do not nominate candidates to appear on the ballot and the ballots do not identify the candidates by party. Parties can and do endorse and support certain candidates, but play no other role in nominating candidates or determining who is placed on the primary or general election ballot.
Ballot issues may appear on your ballot in the primary, general or special election. Those issues are decided in the election where they appear.
Districts, Wards and Precincts
The offices of Mayor, City Attorney and City Council are all elected at-large in Seattle, there are no districts or wards.

Proposition No. 1
General Obligation Bonds - $290,000,000
(Alaskan Way Seawall)
The City Council of the City of Seattle, Washington, passed Ordinance No. 123922, concerning funding for the Alaskan Way seawall and associated infrastructure.
This proposition would address public safety risks and seismic hazards by authorizing the City to incur costs related to the design, construction, renovation, improvement and replacement of the Alaskan Way seawall and associated public facilities and infrastructure, including City-owned waterfront piers; issue no more than $290,000,000 of general obligation bonds maturing within 30 years; and levy annual excess property taxes to repay the bonds, all as provided in Ordinance No. 123922.
Should this proposition be:
Proposition 1
City Attorney's Explanatory Statement
The Existing Situation–
The City of Seattle owns the Alaskan Way seawall and Piers 58 and 62/63 on the City central waterfront. The City Council passed and the Mayor approved Ordinance 123922 (a copy of which is found elsewhere in this pamphlet). That ordinance includes the following statements about the existing situation of these public improvements:
• "[T]he existing Alaskan Way seawall is seriously deteriorated due to aging components and materials, and tidal forces of Elliott Bay, and marine borer damage, with approximately 50 percent of the existing wall currently damaged."
• "[T]he seawall is not designed to withstand earthquakes and there is a one in ten chance in the next ten years of an earthquake leading to liquefaction and Seawall failure."
• "Pier 58 is seismically vulnerable and the structural deficiencies of Piers 62/63 have forced the City to significantly limit activities on the piers in order to protect public safety."
The Effect of the Measure if Approved –
If approved by the voters, the City proposes to sell no more than $290,000,000 in bonds to pay for the costs related to the design, construction, renovation, improvement, and replacement of the Alaskan Way seawall and associated public facilities and infrastructure, including City-owned waterfront piers (collectively, the "Project"). The principal and interest on the bonds (the debt) would be repaid by increased property taxes in excess of normal property tax limits.
The bonds must be issued within ten years of the vote and each bond must mature within thirty years of its sale. A portion of the funds raised, equal to 1% of the estimated construction expenditures on the Project, will be spent on public works for art in accordance with Seattle Municipal Code Section 20.32.030.
The funds raised by the bonds would be used for capital costs of the Project. Section 2 of Ordinance No. 123922 details the nature of those costs. The City also shall seek supplemental, matching or additional funds to pay all or part of the cost of the Project. If the Project is completed and there are remaining funds from the sale of the bonds, those funds may be used for other waterfront improvements or infrastructure construction, repair or replacement, or for the payment of debt service on bonds, all as later determined by ordinance. Should there be insufficient funds from the bonds to complete the Project, the City may delay completion of all or any element of the Project until adequate funding is available, or eliminate any part of the Project.
Property taxes will be raised in excess of regular property tax levies, without limitation as to rate, but only in such amounts sufficient to pay the principal and interest (debt service) on the bonds. The annual debt service for all $290 million in bonds approved by this measure is estimated to be $19 million per year over a 30-year period, assuming a 5% interest rate. Once the full $290 million in bonds have been sold, the impact to property owners is projected to be approximately $59 annually for a median-value home worth $360,000.
Proposition 1
Statement For Proposition 1
Save Our Sea Wall: A Critical Public Safety investment
This measure is a critical public safety investment first and foremost. Seattle's Waterfront Seawall ranges from 75 to almost 100 years old and has deteriorated to the point where it may completely fail in an earthquake or large storm. This could lead to the collapse of the Alaskan Way surface street, waterfront piers and businesses, the ferry terminal and Port of Seattle facilities. Major utilities including power, sewer and storm water, natural gas and telecommunications are also at risk. It is time to make a needed investment for the safety and future of our waterfront.
Generations ago, Seattle residents built the seawall as an investment in public health and safety and to facilitate growth of a new economy and city. A new seawall will not only protect the safety, mobility and economy of our waterfront and downtown, but allow us to realize future economic and civic potential.
This measure also helps to fund critical improvements to publicly owned piers that right now are unsafe and unusable. While replacing the seawall, we can save money and give new life to these important public spaces on our waterfront.
A New Seawall: The Foundation of a Waterfront for All
While this measure is designed to fund the public safety need for a new seawall, the replacement project is the critical first step in a larger vision to revitalize the downtown waterfront. The City Council and Mayor—following significant public input— have approved a framework plan for a new Alaskan Way surface street, new parks, picnic areas, open space and paths for walking, biking and running after the Viaduct is taken down.
The new seawall will be designed to improve and protect salmon habitat and the ecology of Elliott Bay.
Accountable and Affordable
This 30 year measure will cost the average Seattle household less than $59/ year— just under $5 per month. Oversight is provided by the Central Waterfront Committee, a citizens group appointed by the Mayor and City Council, assuring accountability to taxpayers.
Seattle Agrees: Yes on Prop 1
The Seawall replacement bond measure is endorsed by neighborhood, community and public safety leaders across Seattle, The Greater Seattle Chamber and King County Labor Council, Mayor and City Council, Seattle Aquarium Society and Leonard the Goldfish, Aquarium spokesfish; and many, many more.

Rebuttal to Statement
For Proposition 1
The Central Waterfront Committee is cloaking the argument for proceeding with this unnecessary bond measure under the pretext that it is "a critical public safety investment". While there may be a pressing need to address the condition of the seawall, there has been no showing to suggest it is a need deserving of a 30-year commitment of over a billion dollars by all property owners in Seattle.
Both the WSDOT Ferries Division and the Port of Seattle are able to finance their own seawall improvement with routine maintenance funds.
The alleged "collapse of … waterfront piers and businesses" is fear-mongering claptrap.
Importantly, the June 1, 2010 study for the city, Feasibility Analysis of Special Benefits, shows downtown waterfront property owners gaining up to $1.95 billion in "Special Benefits".
Logically, a Local Improvement District (LID) should finance this project so those who benefit pay its cost.

Proposition 1
Statement Against Proposition 1
The Seattle Seawall Bond Measure – An Unfair Property Tax Burden
In the history of Seattle, never have so many properties been taxed so much for the benefit of so few.
As proposed, the Elliott Bay Seawall would be rebuilt with proceeds from a $290-million bond issue levied against all Seattle property owners. Over its 30-year life, this gift to a few downtown property owners, taking interest into account, could well exceed one billion dollars.
Seattle has almost 85 miles of waterfront property of which only 1.5 percent is bounded by the subject seawall. The majority of waterfront commercial and residential property owners are responsible for maintaining their own bulkheads and shore lands without any public subsidy. Many of these privately built and maintained bulkheads also hold back high-volume, principal arterial streets such as Rainier Avenue S. and Westlake Avenue. Accordingly, why should the private business owners along these 1.32 miles of Elliott Bay waterfront property benefit from a public subsidy?
Basically, the downtown and Elliott Bay property owners want all Seattle taxpayers to pay for their waterfront improvements. This is not only unfair but more troubling is that it raises serious equal protection arguments.
The Seattle Central Business District is the most highly valued real estate in the entire State of Washington. Why should the city's outlying residences and businesses be taxed for a seawall improvement that would give them zero benefits?
With the private landowners of so many highly valued properties poised to gain substantial benefits from the seawall project, it is clear that the fairest, most equitable and least onerous project financing should come from a Local Improvement District (LID). LIDs have been used for these exact kinds of property improvements since 1917. An LID ensures that those who receive the benefits pay for the benefits.
Please join those who are rejecting this unfair, unjust and excessive bond measure.

Rebuttal to Statement
Against Proposition 1
When a road or bridge needs replacement, all of us share the costs of critical infrastructure replacement. Similarly, the seawall is a critical public safety priority all of us share.
Seattle's deteriorating seawall threatens public safety regardless of where you live or work. Further decay will impact safety and mobility on our downtown streets, jeopardize citywide utilities that light and heat our homes and offices, and undermine important components of our regional economy.
Seawall replacement is a needed investment to protect safety and restore publicly-owned structures. Furthermore, waterfront improvements are NOT part of this bond measure. When those amenities are constructed, it will indeed be with creation of a Local Improvement District. Opponents are misleading: downtown property owners who benefit from potential future investments WILL pay their fair share. This measure ONLY concerns the seawall and related safety projects.
Please vote yes on Proposition 1.

Proposition 1
Complete Text
AN ORDINANCE relating to the Alaskan Way Seawall Replacement Project; providing for the submission to the voters of the City, at an election to be held on November 6, 2012, of a proposition authorizing the City to issue general obligation bonds to pay costs related to the design, construction, renovation, improvement and replacement of the Alaskan Way seawall and associated public infrastructure; the principal of and interest on such bonds to be payable from annual property tax levies to be made in excess of regular property tax levies; and ratifying and confirming certain prior acts.
WHEREAS, the existing Alaskan Way seawall is seriously deteriorated due to aging components and materials, the tidal forces of Elliott Bay, and marine borer damage, with approximately 50 percent of the existing wall currently damaged; and
WHEREAS, the Seawall is not designed to withstand earthquakes and there is a one in ten chance in the next ten years of an earthquake that would lead to liquefaction and Seawall failure; and
WHEREAS, failure of the Seawall would severely disrupt public transportation and commerce, and could lead to widespread property damage, injury and loss of life, thus, a replacement Seawall is essential both to public safety and to the local and regional economy; and
WHEREAS, a properly designed and built Seawall is expected to protect the City and its residents and workers for the next 100 years; and
WHEREAS, the engineering and design for the Seawall replacement project (also known as the Elliott Bay Seawall Project) has now advanced to the 35 percent stage where cost estimates and timelines for construction have been reasonably established; and
WHEREAS, Pier 58 is seismically vulnerable and the structural deficiencies of Piers 62/63 have forced the City to significantly limit activities on the piers in order to protect public safety; and
WHEREAS, reconstruction of the pilings and decks of Piers 58 and 62/63 can be efficiently completed while Seawall construction occurs thereby reducing disruption to waterfront businesses and activities; and
WHEREAS, the costs of replacing the Seawall, restoring the Piers and making the other infrastructure repairs that are essential to public safety exceed the funding available from existing City revenue sources; and
WHEREAS, Seattle's central waterfront is a unique asset of our community and replacement of the Seawall will ensure that Alaskan Way can be rebuilt on time as part of the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Program and that the necessary structural foundation and seismic protection will be in place for the soon-to-be-redeveloped Alaskan Way recreational, cultural, social, and economic improvements; NOW, THEREFORE,
Section 1 . If approved by voters, the City is authorized to issue bonds to fund a portion of the costs related to the design, construction, renovation, improvement and replacement of the Alaskan Way seawall and associated public facilities and infrastructure, including City-owned waterfront piers (collectively, the "Project").
Section 2 . The City shall incur indebtedness and borrow an amount not to exceed $290,000,000 on the credit of the City and issue and sell its general obligation bonds or other evidences of indebtedness, which may include but are not limited to, lease obligations ("Bonds"), in an amount not to exceed that principal amount for strictly municipal capital purpose, other than the replacement of equipment, to provide all or part of the funds for the Project. Costs of environmental, engineering, design, architectural, planning, consulting, project and construction management, construction, inspection, testing, financial, audit, legal and other services lawfully incurred incident to the Project, completion of a feasibility study for the Alaskan Way seawall, repayment with interest of interfund loans for project expenses, costs of issuance (including election costs) and sale of the Bonds, administrative, permit, relocation and mitigation expenses, site and right of way improvement, demolition, road improvement, and other similar activities or purposes, and an apportionment equal to one percent (1%) of estimated construction expenditures on the Project upon public works for art pursuant to Seattle Municipal Code Section 20.32.030, shall be appropriate capital costs to be paid from the proceeds of the Bonds authorized by this ordinance.
The City Council declares that to the extent, if any, the City prior to the date that Bonds or other short-term obligations are issued to finance the Project shall make capital expenditures for the Project from funds that are not (and are not reasonably expected to be) reserved, allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside by the City under its existing and reasonably foreseeable budgetary and financial circumstances to finance the Project, those capital expenditures are intended to be reimbursed out of proceeds of the Bonds or other short-term obligations issued in an amount not to exceed the principal amount authorized by this ordinance.
Section 3 . The City shall seek supplemental, matching or additional funds from other sources to pay all or part of the cost of the Project or any component thereof. If the Project shall have been completed and Bond proceeds remain unexpended, then those proceeds may be applied to costs of other waterfront improvements or infrastructure construction, repair or replacement, or to the payment of debt service on Bonds, all as determined by ordinance. Should the funds, including the Bond proceeds, available for the Project be insufficient to complete the Project, the City may delay completion of all or any element of the Project until adequate funding is available, or may eliminate any element.
Section 4 . The Bonds shall be issued in one or more series, or as part of a combined issue or issues with other authorized bonds, and shall be issued within ten years of the date of voter approval of the Bonds. The Bonds also may evidence a line or lines of credit. The Bonds shall bear interest (which may be fixed or variable) payable as permitted by law; may mature serially or as term bonds with the longest maturities being within 30 years from their date or within any shorter period fixed by ordinance; and shall be issued and sold in the manner, at the times and in the amounts as shall be determined by or pursuant to ordinance. The exact date, form, terms, options of prior redemption, price, interest rate or rates and maturities of the Bonds and pledges and covenants shall be fixed by or pursuant to ordinance. The Bonds shall be paid by annual property tax levies sufficient in amount to pay both principal and interest when due, which annual property tax levies shall be made in excess of regular property tax levies without limitation as to rate or amount but only in amounts sufficient to pay both principal and interest when due.
Pending issuance of the Bonds and receipt of their proceeds, the City may authorize the issuance of short-term obligations pursuant to chapter 39.50 RCW, and the costs of those short-term obligations shall be included in the cost of the Project for which the Bonds are issued.
Section 5 . City Audit Participation. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the City Auditor shall arrange for an audit to examine whether the public revenues, grants, fees, bond proceeds and City funds received during the preceding Fiscal Year were used for the purposes described in Section 1 of this act. City departments shall make available all information reasonably necessary for the City Auditor to perform such audits. The City Auditor shall deliver to the Director of SDOT and the Chair of the City Council's Budget Committee an original, signed copy of each such annual audit by the earlier of (a) thirty (30) days after the completion of such audit or (b) 180 days after the end of the Fiscal Year covered by such audit.
Section 6. The City Council requests that the Director of Records and Elections of King County, Washington, as ex officio Superior of Elections, conduct a special election in the City in conjunction with the special election to be held on November 6, 2012, for the purpose of submitting to the qualified electors of the City for their approval the question of whether or not the City shall be authorized to borrow money in an amount not to exceed $290,000,000, issue its general obligation bonds or other evidences of indebtedness in that principal amount only for capital purposes other than replacement of equipment, and levy the excess taxes necessary to pay and retire the Bonds as herein set forth.
Section 7. The City Council directs that the City Clerk file this ordinance with the Director of Elections of King County, Washington, as ex officio supervisor of elections, requesting that the Director of Elections call and conduct a special election in the City to be held on November 6, 2012, for the purpose of submitting to the qualified electors of the City the proposition set forth in this ordinance.

1955 Plymouth Belvedere - One Unique BelvedereWritten by Eric Geisert on September 1, 2011 Rick Talbot's '55 Plymouth
Sleek and stylish might not be the words you would come up with when someone says '55 Plymouth, but in the case of Rick Talbot's Belvedere, it would be more than appropriate. In 1955, Plymouth unveiled their "Forward Look" concept, which included a panoramic windshield and frenched headlights (rather than the standard headlight ring that had previously been used for decades). But Rick's vision of the car saw well beyond what Plymouth's designers were able to come up with more than 60 years ago, and what he created is the epitome of what a hot rod could and should be.
Most folks find a car they'd like to build and then find a motor to stuff into it, but Rick worked the other way around with this one, and he has his son, Rick Jr., to blame for it. Rick Jr. was working for Chrysler in the NASCAR Engine Group as the resident engineer at Arrington Engines in Martinsville, Virginia. There are a lot of strange and wonderful things that are developed at facilities like these, most of which never get into the hands of private citizens. At the time, more than six years ago, parts for an R5-P7 engine (an R5 block with P7 heads) began to be accumulated and Rick Jr. and his dad started talking about using one of the rare, race-only motors for a street car (you can find videos of these engines pulling 700-plus horsepower at 9,000 rpm on YouTube).
Once they were able to secure the engine, the hunt was on for a suitable vehicle to build around it. Rick was able to track down a '55 Belvedere in Pennsylvania that had, at one point in its life, been built out in California. Rick sold a nice big-block '56 Chevy he owned to finance the build, and picked up the red 'n' black '55 that still had an original-style interior.
As for a place to work on the car, Rick didn't have any problems there. His 2,200 square foot garage in Ridgeway, Virginia, is equipped with all the things rodders dream about, including two Bridgeports (one manual and the other CNC), a 15-inch lathe, bead and slip rollers, an industrial sewing machine, plus a lift as well as a crossflow paint booth. With the exception of the machining of the engine and its assembly, the rest of the work done on the car, including paint and upholstery, was done by Rick in his garage.
Rick started work on the car from the ground up by creating his own chassis using 2x4-inch-perimeter tubing coupled to a 2x3-inch centersection dialed in with a wheelbase of 115-1/2 inches. In building his own chassis, he incorporated pass-through holes for the 3-inch stainless steel exhaust tubing as well as a billet aluminum crossmember for the transmission mount. A 9-inch rear (4.30:1) made up of a nodular NASCAR housing, a Yukon posi clutch, and Strange Engineering 31-spline axles uses a triangulated four-bar made from Art Morrison parts, Aldan coilovers (250 pound), and an antisway bar. Ford Explorer brakes, with its DIH system (a drum-in-hat design where the drum brakes are inside the disc brake rotors), were used and 3/16 stainless steel line with 3AN fittings supply the fluid to the brakes.
Up front '04 Pontiac Bonneville STS discs were adapted to '84 Corvette uprights and the C4 suspension was attached without the factory cradle, and an Art Morrison antisway bar was also used. Billet Specialties Legacy wheels (16x7 and 17x8.5) are wrapped in BFGoodrich 225/55R and 255/50R KDW rubber, and other items (an owner-fabbed 22-gallon aluminum gas tank, an '84 Corvette rack-and-pinion) completed the rolling chassis.
Danny Glad of Glad Precision machined the engine before he and Rick Jr. assembled the 348 using a Bryant NASCAR 3.250 crank, Carrillo rods, forged JE pistons, and a roller camshaft ground to Rick Jr. specs by COMP Cams all went into the short-block.
Up front a Dodge R5 water pump was used (along with a six-blade mechanical fan) and, since the R5 block has no provisions for an internal oil pump, Rick designed a dry sump system to be used with an external pump. The pump itself is a Daily Engineering five-stage unit while the scavenger filter is located behind the left fenderwell and the pressure side filter is behind the right fenderwell. The system incorporates a cooler, mounted in front of the radiator, and a Moroso 3-quart oil accumulator is activated by solenoid with the car's ignition system to pre-charge the oil system before the engine is started.
Up top, Dodge NASCAR P7 heads are fed by a 750-cfm Demon annular-discharge carb bolted to a Dodge R5 manifold. Rick utilized an MSD distributor with a Crane NASCAR ignition system, and he used Elston stainless steel Craftsman Truck Tri-Y stepped headers with a satin coating from Calico Coatings. The motor mates to a Tremec TKO600 transmission from Keisler Engineering (equipped with a Zoom dual-disc setup) that connects to a Denny's Driveshafts "Nitrous Ready" 1350 series driveshaft. Original dyno testing showed this motor put out 628 hp and 550 ft-lb of torque, but the cam they used was too aggressive for the street, so a milder profile was called for, which Rick Jr. estimates shaved 30 hp off the peak dyno numbers.
For the car's exterior, Rick simplified and customized certain sections of the car, but left the overall look intact. The vent windows and most of the car's "bumps" (door and trunk handles, gas filler, emblems, etc.) were shaved and the front splash apron was lowered a little over an inch. The rear splash apron was eliminated and the bumper was shortened and moved closer to the body. The grille was also fabricated from two stock grilles to lengthen the vertical portion where it meets the lower apron. Once the car was driveable, Rick drove it around for about a year in metal and aluminum before completing the required body and paintwork. Once satisfied with how everything worked, Rick then prepped and painted the car at home with a PPG base and clear Mercedes-Benz Brilliant Silver with Chrysler Cool Vanilla panels.
The car's interior showcases Rick's first attempt at sewing and doing an entire upholstery job, from adding the red leather to the SCAT Procar Rally seats (he made his own rear seat) to laying out the Flame Red GM Daytona square-weave carpet. RAAMmat sound deadening material was used throughout and Rick handled his own wiring, too. The dash now houses a Racepak UDX Extreme digital gauge and a Sony Xplod head unit and a 10-disc CD changer (mounted in the trunk) is controlled by a marine-type remote control in the hand-fabbed aluminum center console. The console also locates the handmade shifter and the controls for the A/C system Rick designed and fabricated (including the homemade brackets and pulleys).
Some of the factory design elements stayed on the car, such as the rearview mirror, while some were removed (such as the dash-mounted shift lever) and others created (the milled sill plates with the Plymouth logo).
By one account, Plymouth produced more than 700,000 vehicles in 1955, but it would be safe to say there isn't another one around today quite like Rick Talbot's. A perfect mix of race car ingenuity and home-grown talent, Rick's Belvedere shows how someone can take a car that most folks wouldn't think twice about, hop up the drivetrain and suspension, street rod the interior and exterior, with the end result being a car unlike any other that you'd find at the local rod run—a shining example of what a hot rod could be if you put your mind to it.

Samuel L. Jackson made a Los Angeles news anchorman feel stupid on live TV on Monday morning when he confused the actor with Laurence Fishburne.
The KTLA entertainment correspondent Sam Rubin was setting up an interview with the "Pulp Fiction" star for the new movie "Robocop" when he complimented Jackson on his new Super Bowl commercial. Confused Jackson asked, "What Super Bowl commercial?", before realizing Rubin had mixed him up with "The Matrix" star Fishburne, who debuted a new Kia ad on TV earlier this month.
As the embarrassed anchorman attempted to gloss over his error and get on with the interview, Jackson raged, and the cameras caught it all.

The following deserve a visit:
Pitigliano >
This is a unique, spectacular village built entirely on a cliff of tuff rock. Founded by the Romans near the necropolis and Etruscan settlements, now an open-air museum, in medieval times Pitigliano belonged to the Aldobrandeschi family. It was later passed to the Orsini to whom it belonged until the early seventeenth century when it was conquered by Ferdinando I de' Medici who incorporated it into the Grand Duchy of Tuscany in 1604. From the 16th century onwards, Pitigliano was inhabited by a large Jewish community: remains of that period include the cemetery, the museum of Jewish culture, the old ghetto with its beautiful synagogue beneath which the locals gather for ritual bathing, the evocative Matzah oven, the butcher's and the dyeworks. Today Pitigliano is still known as "Little Jerusalem", but here it is also possible to discover the typical cuisine of the Maremma, visit the craftsmen's shops and sample the wine and oil produced in the area.
During a simple walk through the area you wander from bronze age grottoes, Renaissance palaces, mysterious streets and Etruscan necropolis to dark underground passages of the fortress, and from the medieval village carved in rock to the luxuriant woods surrounding the village. In Sorano the Estruscans dug their monumental "hollowed" passageways. It is a land of contrasts: magic and tranquil, volcanic and calm, wild and sweet. "The whole thing small and dainty in proportion, and fresh, somehow charming instead of impressive. There seems to have been in the Etruscan instinct a real desire to preserve the natural humour of life. And that is a task surely more worthy, and even much more difficult in the long run, than conquering the world or sacrificing the self or saving the immortal soul." D.H. Lawrence, Etruscan Places.
Today it is a fascinating medieval village, but in the 7th century B.C. it was a flourishing Etruscan centre, demonstrated by the Etruscan Necropolis with its beautiful Ildebranda Tomb. It was also an important city in Roman times, to such an extent that in the first centuries of Christianity it became an episcopal site. It was conquered by the Longobardi (594) and became a dominion of the Aldobrandeschi whose Duchy came to include the entire province of Grosseto. It then passed to the Orsini family through inheritance, was ransacked and devastated by the Sienese in 1410 then abandoned for centuries. For this reason, it today survives intact in its medieval form.

With 22 imposing sculptures depicting the twenty-two Tarot cards– Major Arcana Deck– Niki de Saint Phalle has fulfilled her magical, spiritual life's dream. Drawing inspiration from Parc Guell designed by Gaudì in Barcelona, she worked on the construction of the sculptures, between 12 and 15 metres high, made from steel and cement and covered in glass, mirrors and coloured ceramics, from 1979 to 1998. Due to its particular appearance and fragility and with a view to preserving the magical atmosphere of the garden it is only possible to visit from April to October, in the afternoon, and numbers are limited. Following the wishes of the artist, the visitors are free to move around inside and outside the works, with neither guided tours nor preordained itineraries.
WWF Natural Oasis - Laguna di Orbetello
Three itineraries may be followed when visiting the WWF natural reserve: the first, with 9 huts, is the Sentiero Ornitologico, which may be walked independently or with a guide (from September to April). The second is the Sentiero del Bosco di Patanella with a botanical trail and several bird observation huts, which can also be visited independently or with a guide. The third is the Sentiero Escursionistico which links the visitor centre at Ceriolo to the Bosco di Patanella. It is a longer path which passes through various different environments and can be walked all year round, exclusively with a guide for which reservation is necessary. The lagoon is positioned along the winter migratory routes of thousands of flamingos, black-winged stilts, great egrets, grey herons, ospreys, northern shovelers, spoonbills and pied avocets. Here the common tern and the little tern reproduce and it is also possible to see a rare insect, the endemic cicindela which, aside from Orbetello, can only be found in the Camargue.
At the end of the sand spits of Feniglia, between the sandy shores and the green Mediterranean scrub, built on the remains of the historic city of Cosa, is Ansedonia. It was founded by the Romans in the year 273 B.C to control both land and sea traffic and to occupy the lands that had been taken from the Etruscans and Vulci. Following the fall of the Roman Empire the city of Cosa suffered a slow decline, then in the Middle Ages a military settlement was built there and it was progressively abandoned. Today it is an important archaeological site and from its hill it is possible to admire the "Tagliata", a canal chiselled into the rock during Roman times and the "Spacco della Regina", a natural tear in the rock inside which fantastic light and shadow effects are produced by the sun filtering in from above.
Parco della Maremma
This stretches from Principina a Mare to Talamone, over 25 km of the Tyrrhenian coast covering a territory of 100 square kilometres. In the south the coast is high and eroded, while the north comprises a stretch of beaches covered by typical Mediterranean scrub. The park may be discovered via naturalistic excursions and trips on horseback or in canoes. Numerous archaeological sites may be visited, some of which are Etruscan-Roman. Others include the medieval watch towers and the Abbey of San Rabano which was constructed in 1100 and has been recently restored.
Monte Argentario
Monte Argentario was probably originally an island "anchored" to the Tyrrhenian coast by the sand spits of Feniglia and Giannella, formed by the accumulation of debris transported by rivers and tides. The numerous archaeological finds made in the Grotta degli Stretti and Cala dei Santi caves attest to their ancient origins. At least ten caves were inhabited, one of which is over 1 km long with a pool 50 metres from its entrance, known as the "Grotta del Granduca" (Grand Duke's cave), so named in honour of Leopoldo di Lorena who sponsored the digs. The headland is covered with thick Mediterranean scrub where olives, vines and fruit trees are grown. In the vineyards on the sides of the mountain, the rare "Ansonico" and "Riminese" grapes are grown. Argentario's economy, once based exclusively on fishing, today relies mainly on tourism.
Porto Ercole
The history of Porto Ercole is uncertain, but it appears that the name was chosen by the Etruscans. This theory was confirmed by the recent discovery of an Etruscan necropolis upstream from Cala Galera, positioned in the 13th sector of the Etruscan zodiac which corresponds to the constellation of Hercules. In the High Middle Ages it belonged, along with the whole of Argentario, to the abbey of Tre Fontane; in the 13th century it passed to the Aldobrandeschi family, then to the Orsini, and in 1415 to the Republic of Siena. Today it is a fascinating medieval village that overlooks a bay dominated by the powerfully imposing Spanish fortresses, with a fully equipped touristic port.
Porto Santo Stefano
This is the largest inhabited area, with the administrative headquarters of the town of Monte Argentario and a large port divided in two: one new touristic section with connections to the islands of Giglio and Giannutri and the old port with a fishing fleet and shipyards. From the 18th century numerous families of fishermen arrived from Liguria and Naples, from whom a large section of the population descends.
Orbetello lies on a small peninsula surrounded by the lagoons of Levante and Ponente, divided by an artificial embankment that has linked the city to the promontory of Monte Argentario since 1841. The two lagoons are enclosed by two strips of land, the sand spits of Feniglia and Giannella, with several kilometres of beaches. The historic origins of Orbetello probably date from Neolithic times. The origin of its name raises many questions: Orvelus, Urva Tellus or Urbis Tellus? Circular city, city of herbs or urban city? Its origins remain a mystery because in 1455 Jacopo Piccinino's militias set fire to the archives and plundered the city. From 1928 to 1933 Orbetello was in the news thanks to Italo Balbo who performed four Atlantic Cruises in a hydroplane, the last taking the route Orbetello-Chicago-New York-Rome.
The Islands
The Tuscan Archipelago comprises a group of seven major islands plus several minor islands and rocks that stretch between the Ligurian sea and the Tyrrhenian sea, to the west of Tuscany. The largest is Elba (224 km2), then Giglio (24 km2), Capraia (19 km2), Montecristo (13 km2), Pianosa (10 km2), Giannutri (3 km2) and Gorgona (2 km2). All the islands are part of the National Park of the Tuscan Archipelago, the largest marine park in Europe measuring a total of 295 km2.
Hot air balloon
Allow your love to take flight. To celebrate an anniversary or simply amaze the woman in your life, make her heart beat faster beneath a coloured balloon. Early in the morning when all is quiet and calm, the romantic hot air balloon will allow you to see the Tuscan countryside from above. Departure is from Saturnia and after your flight, two flutes await you for a toast with chilled Prosecco.
On foot from Il Pellicano
Silence and tranquillity and the perfume of the plants and flowers of the Mediterranean scrub: this is the setting of Monte Argentario, a "secret zone", very green and quiet and explorable by foot. Walking the pathways of these hills means discovering an unexpected natural world that frees the mind of heavy thoughts. From Il Pellicano you can easily reach Porto Ercole. It is a walk of approximately 5 km, suitable for all, with panoramic viewpoints from which magnificent countryside may be admired. To arrive at what remains of the Torre Ciana, on the other hand, take the dirt road that leads to the sea. You will then find yourself on a signalled pathway with a red painting on a rock and should continue through the vegetation. From on high it is possible to see the islands of Giannutri and Giglio.

Hi there
I'm trying to use the Domino Migration Wizard from the latest version of ZCS7.1.2, but it seems I cannot get past the very first step, when the program tries to connect and authenticate to the admin port of the Zimbra server. There's a popup saying the program is unable to authenticate, invalid credentials.
The port is 7071 , comms are secured and credentials are fine because I'm able to connect to the admin web via the same port and security options. I've tried combinations too (secure/non-secure, hostname fqdn or ip, ....).
I'm running the wizard on a XP-Sp3 box, Windows2003 domain, no firewall, antivirus software has been checked and disabled for the purpose, just in case. Lotus Domino client is 8.x. The wizard prompts me for the location of notes.ini , which I provide. No logs are generated in the user's temp folder.
I've also copied the dll in the rar file of the migration wizard package to windows\system32, but no success either.
Any ideas?

Justin Bieber is hoping his new movie will show fans and critics alike just what his crazy life in the spotlight is like – and people will start feeling sorry for him.
The pop superstar's "Believe" concert movie hits theaters on Christmas Day, and he's hoping the film will help to explain some of the negative press he has picked up on tour this year.
Bieber has hit the headlines for everything from showing up late at concerts to urinating in restaurant mop buckets and he hopes his new movie will help get him back into fans and the media's good graces.
Speaking after a Monday concert in Perth, Australia, he tells DJ Ryan Seacrest, "A lot of stuff has been confused because I've been out of the public eye… I've been on tour… so no one really knows what I'm doing out here.
"Believe is how you get back up when you fall down and really that story of what's going on behind the scenes… People don't get to see me living as a 19-year-old boy.
"I'm still finding myself and when I have the media attacking me everyday, it's no (different) than bullying that happens in school… I think this movie really shows who I am as a person… Of course I make mistakes growing up… and I'm not perfect… People forget I'm a human being (and) I have to make mistakes and grow stronger."

|A family legacy continues at Sunrise Heights of Wauneta
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 05 September 2013 16:17
Secily Troutman, center, recently received her Certified Nurses Assistant certification, making the fifth generation of women in her family to work in the nursing department at the Wauneta nursing home. She is pictured here with her mother, Stacy Troutman, left, and grandmother, Deb Andrew, right, who both work as nurses at Sunrise Heights of Wauneta. (Christi Christner | The Wauneta Breeze)
By Christi Christner
The Wauneta Breeze
The nursing home in Wauneta has seen a lot of changes within the last year.
In addition to the change of name and ownership there has also been some new faces in the work force.
However, there is one face that remains familiar, Secily Troutman.
Troutman has been working at the nursing home since she was 16. She has worked with laundry and housekeeping and in the kitchen.
Recently though, Troutman has received her Certified Nurses Assistant license. This will allow her to work more closely with the residents at Sunrise Heights. For instance, Troutman will be able to assist them if they need help eating, bathing or dressing.
With Troutman obtaining her CNA, she has become the fifth generation of her family to work in the nursing department at the Wauneta nursing home.
The legacy started with Troutman's Great-Great-Grandma Mable Stephenson.
Stephenson started her career by helping some elderly people out in their homes. She was later asked to start working at the Barnes nursing home.
Daughter Lorean Anderson was asked to come help a couple weeks after her mother started working at the Barnes nursing home.
Anderson worked at the nursing home in Wauneta for 18 years before back problems forced her to retire.
Anderson's daughter, Deb Andrew, and granddaughter, Stacy Troutman, currently work at Sunrise Heights of Wauneta.
In October, Deb Andrew will celebrate her 40-year anniversary working at the nursing home.
Andrew started a week after she was 16 and is now the Director of Nurses.
Through the years she has done pretty much every job there is to do in a nursing home.
Stacy Troutman also started at the age of 16 in 1991. She grew up around the nursing home and came to enjoy and love the residents there.
The thing she enjoys the most about her job is seeing the residents and taking care of them.
"They are like my family," Troutman said.
"I did not see it coming," admits Andrew when asked how she felt about both her daughter and granddaughter following in the family footsteps. "My mom and grandma both inspired me to become a nurse. I am proud and excited for Stacy and Secily."
Stacy is also a proud momma, "I am very proud of Secily. She could do a lot of things with her life and she chose nursing," Stacy said.
For Secily, she started her nursing journey at that magic age of 16. "The residents made me want to start working at the nursing home." Secily said. "You just feel like you are at home."
Secily said her mom has been her inspiration through the long process of receiving her CNA license.
"The classes were hard, but in the end it was all worth it. I get to care for the residents and they always have a way to make my day."
Secily plans on staying at the nursing home even after graduating from Dundy County Schools this year.

A special birthday request
Abigael Aycock is 8 years old. Her birthday was February 9. There was a party with friends, family, games, and fun, but one thing was missing: presents.
Abby didn't want any presents for her birthday–not for herself anyway. She wanted anyone who was going to buy her presents to buy a pair of shoes, to be donated to those in need.
"We have massive birthdays, and I always try to something really cool and memorable for their birthdays," said Elizabeth Aycock, Abby's mother.
The idea came last August, from a commercial about a girl in Texas, who gathered 300 pairs of shoes for charity, and Abby told her mother that she wanted a big birthday party with lots of friends, and for presents: shoes.
Abby's reasoning behind the charity is straightforward and plain, "It's nice," she said. "And I'd be growing closer to God."
Thirty-one pairs of shoes were gathered at the party and then donated to A Child's Place, which will give them to homeless children in Mecklenburg County.

Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) working with a variety
of partners, sponsors wingshooting clinics at sites geographically distributed
throughout Illinois. Two types of clinics are offered. Youth/Women's clinics
are designed to teach participants basic firearm and hunter safety, wingshooting
fundamentals, as well as practical wingshooting. Hunters clinics are designed
to enhance the wingshooting skills of hunters and impart sound wingshooting
practice techniques. The clinics are conducted on weekends during the
spring through early fall of each year.
A schedule
of the clinics sponsored by the IDNR can be found at Wingshooting
Clinic Schedule. For further general information about wingshooting
clinics, or for information about becoming a clinic sponsor please contact
Chris Hespen at (618) 786-3323, 8:00 a.m.. - 4:00
p.m, Terry L. Musser at (217) 782-6752, 8:30
a.m. - 5:00 p.m., or Joe Robinson at (217) 785-8060, 7:30 a.m.. - 3:00
p.m., Monday-Friday. For specific information about a scheduled wingshooting
clinic or to register for a clinic, call the number on the schedule next
to the clinic of interest.
first clinic was held in June 1999 at the Des Plaines Conservation Area
in Will County near Joliet, IL. Thirty-eight wingshooting students were
trained in the fundamentals of shotgun shooting. Clinic participants and
sponsors were enthusiastic about the philosophy and format of the clinics.
The success of that first pilot clinic provided the stimulus to expand
the wingshooting clinics to other IDNR and several privately owned sites
throughout the State.
The Will and Grundy
County Chapters of Pheasants Forever (PF) co-sponsored the first clinic
with the IDNR. The Will and Grundy County PF Chapters provided monetary
assistance as well as the assistance of several members to man the manually operated clay
target traps.
Youth/Women's Wingshooting Clinics
clinic is comprised of a morning classroom session taught by either an
IDNR Certified Volunteer Hunter Education Instructor or an IDNR and National
Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) Certified Wingshooting Instructor.
Students learn firearm nomenclature, firearm safety, and some principles
of hunter safety during the morning session.
The afternoon session
is taught at a shooting field or range by IDNR/NSCA Certified Wingshooting
Instructors. Typically each wingshooting instructor works with a group
of four shooting students during the afternoon session. Most students
are either beginners or have novice level shotgun shooting ability when
enrolling in the clinic. The objective is to teach students the fundamentals
of hitting a moving target with a shotgun with reasonable reliability.
An equally important objective is to work with each student to ensure
the fundamentals of safe shotgun handling are learned and practiced in
the field.
The youth/women's
clinics are taught using twenty-eight
gauge semi-automatic
shotguns. For the beginning and novice wingshooting student unaccustomed
to recoil and lifting the weight of a shotgun, these small gauge, gas
operated shotguns are considered ideal for teaching. Their low recoil
and reasonable weight makes them quite manageable for new students.
Standard Youth/Women's
Wingshooting Clinics are held on Saturdays and Sundays. A typical Saturday
clinic session accommodates twenty-four shooting students comprised of
boys and girls ages 10-18. However, boys in the 16-18 age group that are beyond the beginning or novice level shotgun shooting skill level should attend a more advanced wingshooting clinic (see information on Hunters Wingshooting Clinics). A Sunday clinic session also accommodates twenty-four
shooting students, but the students are typically comprised of girls ages
10 and up and women of any age. However, clinics
of this type usually can be quite flexible when accommodating shooting
students. Its not uncommon to have one or more groups of women on Saturdays
and a couple of groups of boys on Sunday. Boys and girls must be at least 4 feet
6 inches tall and weigh 75 pounds or more to participate.
As the IDNR Wingshooting
Program has advanced, some wingshooting clinics have changed to a one
day format and a new type of clinic has been developed. While the standard
two day clinic format predominates, the flexibility afforded by changing
to a one day clinic format and developing an additional type of clinic
has allowed the IDNR Wingshooting Program to reach more shooting students.
Youth/women's wingshooting
clinics held in the one day format are typically conducted just on Saturdays.
These one day clinics accommodate as many as forty shooting students
comprised of boys, girls and women. One day clinics continue to have
a morning classroom session and an afternoon field shooting session
with a group of four shooting students with each wingshooting instructor.
Another type of clinic
couples a wingshooting clinic with a pheasant hunt to provide young hunters
and women new to hunting an opportunity to develop and practice their
shotgun shooting skills and then participate in a pheasant hunt. Participants
are required to have passed an Illinois Hunter Education Course and have
a valid hunting or sportsmen's license. These wingshooting clinics/pheasant
hunts have a morning session with a short safety session followed by a shooting
session in the field with a wingshooting instructor. The pheasant hunt
is held during the afternoon.
Youth/women's wingshooting
clinics held in the one day format are typically conducted just on Saturdays.
These one day clinics accommodate as many as forty shooting students
comprised of boys, girls and women. One day clinics continue to have
a morning classroom session and an afternoon field shooting session
with a group of four shooting students with each wingshooting instructor.
Youth/Women's Wingshooting
Clinics are available to students either for free or for a small registration
fee. Most of the funding for the clinics is provided by the IDNR, the
Illinois Conservation Foundation, and clinic sponsors.
Participants do not
need to have passed a Hunter Education
Class except for those clinics that are coupled with a pheasant hunt in the afternoon. Note: Wingshooting Clinics do not satisfy the Illinois
Hunter Education Requirement.
Hunters Wingshooting Clinics
wingshooting clinics were added to the Department of Natural Resources
wingshooting program in 2001. Designed to enhance the wingshooting skills
of hunters, these clinics are open to sportsmen and women ages 16 years
and up. IDNR/NSCA Certified Wingshooting Instructors from the IDNR's
Wingshooting Program, each working with a squad of four hunters with similar
skills, refines and enhances the wingshooting technique used by each participant.
Hunters with wingshooting skill levels from beginner to advanced are encouraged
to attend.
Participants shoot a variety of clay target presentations on a sporting
clays course designed and setup or specifically modified for the clinic.
Target presentations resemble actual field hunting situations. Participants
will encounter presentations that mimic the flight characteristics of
pheasants, quail, rabbits, doves, ducks and other game species. Sound
wingshooting practice techniques are also taught at hunters clinics.
Hunters clinics are
held on weekends with two 4-hour sessions available to participants each
day. Each daily session, morning or afternoon, typically has twenty to
twenty-eight participants depending on the number of instructors. Normally,
each wingshooting instructor works with four participants each session.
A $30-$35 fee is assessed each participant to cover the cost of clay targets
and on course refreshments.
for the twenty-eight gauge shotguns used in the youth/women's wingshooting
clinics has been provided by a variety of sponsors. Sponsors include the
Illinois Conservation Foundation, the Illinois Hunting and Outdoor Sports
Association, the National Rifle Association, the National Wild Turkey
Federation, Pheasants Forever, Quail Forever and the former Quail Unlimited.
the IDNR Wingshooting Program has expanded, funding for additional equipment
has come from a variety of sources. Substantial support for equipment
such as clay target traps (i.e., clay target throwers) and trailers used
to transport equipment has been provided from various units within the
IDNR. Substantial support has come from Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration
funding that is designated for hunter safety and hunter training programs.
Funding for shotshells, clay targets, and lunch for youth/women's clinic
participants is provided through the generosity of the local chapters
of one or more of the organizations listed below and from individual and
business sponsors from the vicinity of the wingshooting clinics. Members
from local chapters of these organizations have helped with the clinics
by helping with the clay target throwers and by preparing lunch for participants.
Wingshooting clinics for women and young wingshooters would not be possible
without the significant monetary and volunteer support from these businesses
and sportsmen's organizations, their chapters, and their members.
Ducks Unlimited (DU) conserves, restores and manages wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl. These habitats also benefit other wildlife species and people.
Conservation Foundation (ICF) The role of the Illinois Conservation
Foundation and its partners is to preserve and enhance the State's natural
resources by supporting and fostering ecological, educational, and recreational
programs for the benefit of all people now and for generations to come.
The ICF sponsors golf and fishing outings and special hunts from which
funding is derived for educational shooting programs.
Illinois Hunting
and Outdoor Sports Association (IHOSA) works for the interests of
the game bird husbandry, hunting preserve, and outfitting industries.
The IHOSA has a forty plus year history of working for conservation, hunting,
and shooting in Illinois.
National Rifle
Association (NRA) supports a wide range of firearm-related public interest
activities. These
activities are designed to promote firearms and hunting safety, to enhance
marksmanship skills of those participating in the shooting sports, and
to educate the general public about firearms in their historic, technological
and artistic context. Funds granted by the NRA benefit a variety
of constituencies throughout the United States including children, youth,
women, individuals with physical disabilities, gun collectors, law enforcement
officers, and hunters.
Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) is a national organization that
encourages habitat development for wild turkeys and other woodland species.
The NWTF assists young sportspersons through its "Jakes" events
and sportswomen through its Women in the Outdoors Program.
Forever (PF) is a national organization that promotes habitat
development for ring-necked pheasants and other upland wildlife. PF also
supports efforts to improve the knowledge, ethics, and skills of sportsmen
and women.
Forever (QF) is dedicated to the conservation of quail, pheasants and other wildlife through habitat improvements, public awareness, education and land management policies and programs.
Unlimited (QU) was a national organization emphasizing habitat
development for bobwhite quail and upland wildlife with a strong interest
in educating young sportsmen and women.
Unlimited (WTU) Founded in 1982, Whitetails Unlimited is a national non-profit conservation organization that has remained true to its mission and has made great strides in the field of conservation. WTU has gained the reputation of being the nation's premier organization dedicating its resources to the betterment of the white-tailed deer and its environment. Whitetails Unlimited's mission is to raise funds in support of educational programs, wildlife habitat enhancement and acquisition, and the preservation of the hunting tradition and shooting sports for future generations.

Rafael Nadal had one more stop during his Roland Garros celebrations before making his way to London for The Artois Championships at Queen's Club. The Spaniard is the top seed and features a great draw including Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick and David Nalbandian.
Rafa and his Coupe des Mousquetaires trophy stopped for a photo op on Pont Alexandre III bridge yesterday and Nike gave the French Open champ a new marquer l'histoire polo with the "2008" now crossed out to signify his fourth consecutive win in Paris.
But the ever-ready Rafa doesn't waste time with long, drawn out celebrations and hit the road for London. Today, the 22-year old was spotted with traveling coach Francisco Roig already sharpening his grass-court skills at Queen's Club.

Valdosta, GA - The way Georgians pay for their car tags is about to change, but that could mean long lines and steep fees at the tag office.
Tax Commissioners are doing away with sales tax and the "Birthday" tax. Now it's going to be a one-time fee. The fee is going to be pretty steep but it could save you money depending how long you own your car.
Georgia's new title tax law goes into effect March 1st. At that time, tax commissioners are asking residents to just be patient as they make the switch over to the new system.
Some estimates show it will take twice as long to process transactions under the new system.
So here's how it works:
- If you buy your car after March 1st you'll pay the one time tax and not the "birthday" tax.
- If you bought it between January first, 2012 and February 28, 2013, you'll have your choice.
- And any cars bought before 2012 will stay on the "birthday" tax.
To learn more, there is a public information session in Valdosta Thursday morning at 9 a.m. at the James Rainwater Conference Center.
You can also visit your county's website or the Georgia Department of Revenue at www.dor.ga.gov.

|Audit shows school fund balance at $1.4 million
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Holyoke School District Re-1J ended the 2012-13 year with a fund balance of $1,397,733, according to the audit report presented by Scott Szabo at the Dec. 3 school board meeting.
The audit by Lauer, Szabo & Associates, PC was scheduled for the Dec. 11 board meeting agenda for approval.
Szabo cited at last week's meeting that the 2012-13 year began July 1, 2012 with a beginning fund balance of $1,608,464. The audit showed a loss of $210,731, which was very close to the budgeted loss of $200,000.
A series of graphs and charts were reviewed, outlining the changes the district has gone through over the past four fiscal years.
Showing gradual drops in the general fund balance, the chart showed a fund balance of $1,688,262 at the end of the 2008-09 year, dropping to this year's $1,397,733.
In the CPA firm's unqualified opinion, Szabo stated that the financial statements of the district are fairly presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
Student demographics reviewed
Student numbers for 2013-14 were reviewed and explained by Superintendent Bret Miles at last week's meeting.
The actual number of K-12 students in the district this year is 568, which is down 23 from last year's count.
The certified count, which tabulates kindergarten students as half-students and includes preschool special education students, is at 593 for 2013-14, down from 630 last year. The funded full-time equivalent is 563.5.
The good news is that by using a three-year average of certified funding counts, the averaged pupil count is 587.5 for 2013-14, compared to 587.7 last year.
Miles said the student demographics note that 50 percent of the population is non-white, which is the highest percentage ever for the Holyoke School District.
Forty-six percent of the students qualify for a free or reduced-price meal, which is down 3 percent from last year.
Additionally, Miles pointed out that 25 percent of the students are English Language Learners, which also marks the highest percentage ever for the district.
Citing implications from the summary, Miles said that even a slightly lower pupil count, along with the negative factor, presents budget challenges going forward.
He also pointed out that student achievement goals are more difficult to achieve when students are impacted by poverty and are learning a second language.
With optimism, Miles said there's no reason to lower goals. They'll just need to continue to adjust strategies and resources for the student population.
Other business
In other business at the Dec. 3 meeting, the Re-1J board:
—accepted the resignation of elementary school paraprofessional Lisa Davis.
—adopted a revised bank resolution with changes in approved signatures following the recent change in board officers.
—scheduled a board retreat for Wednesday, Jan. 22.

As soon as you tie this RNT Short Barrel Duck Call on your lanyard you will instantly feel the buzz of over twenty-five years of call making experience that has been put into this most anticipated and overwhelmingly received call ever designed and produced by RNT. RNT built this short barrel duck call for one reason and one reason only, to produce the most nasty, raspy, knarly, plain out bad to the bone sound ever packed in a 4-1/4 inch duck calling machine.
The new tone board design of this duck call along with the shorter barrel makes for an easier blowing call as well as allowing the caller to come down softer on the call without sacrificing a meaty ducky sound on top. The bore was designed to produce a nasally ducky sound with just the right amount of back pressure to make this an awesome medium volume call.

FYI to everyone in topeka who have been waiting on HD locals, I just checked my locals and I am showing two of each local channel with one being HD in my guide. So their finally here WOOT:) It is hard at first to see the distinction between the two because there is no HD moniker after the channel number so ie i have 2 27 ksnt, the one way to see the difference is in the guide the channel's programs will actually stated HD after the program now and its amazing just in time for my football game saturday. at first when i checked this morning they werent there but after messing around checking signal strengths and redoing the satellite setup process just for gigs i then noticed that i now have the hd locals
The 1st local channel is always the MPEG4 HD version. You can go in the menu and hide SD duplicates.
Congrats on the HD locals.

At the time, these were the only athletic opportunities for women on campus and she wasted no time in changing this. In a span from 1971 to 1975, Thornburg pioneered the way for women's volleyball, basketball and softball while coaching all three sports at the same time.

Boffins and politicians (not necessarily the same thing…) harper on about ways to kick-start the economy. They refer to GDP data, use phrases like 'fiscal tightening' and 'underlying growth' and like to bandy about words like inflation and overall, the crux of it: DEMAND.
Us mere consumers on the street can't really get too involved in the Big Fix™ needed for the economy. Or can we?
To channel a phrase made popular by a little cartoon builder dude and his plant machinery friends, can WE fix it? YES WE CAN!
Here's how. Buy everyday things that are made in Britain if you can. If we demand it, it gets made and Britain gets better. I don't necessarily mean only buy lacy British pants as mentioned in my previous blog, but for starters, buy seasonal food produce down the supermarket. This keeps our farmers happy and keeps your contribution… Read more
