1 x 250-hp Yamaha VMAX
This is our favorite S-Series Premier, the 250 RF with a full stern platform and center-mounted transom door. There's wraparound seating fore and aft, and side-by-side helm consoles with Flexsteel 7-Star swivel chairs. Top speed with 250-hp is 43.4 mph (69.84 kph), according to Yamaha performance tests.
A Toon for Everyone
Premier builds S-Series pontoons in 235 and 250 models; each is available in RE and RF versions. The 235 RE is 24'4" (7.42 m) LOA, the 250 RE 25'4" (7.72 m); the RFs are a foot longer overall in each model because of their full-beam stern platforms. The basic difference between RE and RF is the platform, or lack of one: The RE has its transom door at the corner with a small swim step adjacent to a ladder; it's fine for swimmers. The RF with the full platform has the transom door on the centerline; this allows facing L-lounges on the aft deck, too.
The RE version of the S-Series has the transom door in the corner, leaving room for a wide sunpad. The swim ladder leads directly through the transom door onto the deck, where there's a lift-up changing room. A DL version of this layout has two swivel chairs and a table forward on the port side, in place of the lounge.
All S-Series pontoons come with an 11' Evolution Bimini top, the 30" tube PTX performance package, 25" tubes, Cayman carpet, Flexsteel 7-star chairs, Signature couches, a dual command helm with walk-through windshield and a Sony stereo with four speakers, two of them pop-ups at the transom. There's a pop-up changing room, too.
We prefer the RF arrangement, with the platform and center-mounted transom door: It has more seating aft, on the wraparound lounge, and we don't do much sunbathing anymore so don't need the sunpad. Again, a DL version has swivel chairs forward. Both the 235 and 250 models have the same layouts, but the 250 is a foot longer.
PTX Performance
Premier's patent-pending PTX design takes triple-tubes one step further: Rather than simply adding a third round tube down the middle, PTX technology incorporates a flat planing surface on the middle tube, which, on the 250 RF, measures 30" (76.2 cm) rather than the 25" (63.5 cm) of the outer tubes. (The center tube is mounted differently than the outside ones, so the bottoms of all three are the same depth.) Lifting strakes on the insides of the outer tubes help shorten time-to-plane. Premier found that strakes on both sides of the tubes made the boat run too flat, but adding them only to the inside let the boat bank into turns, reducing radius and making for more agile handling.
This isn't an S-Series, but another Premier pontoon fitted with the PTX triple-tube arrangement. Look closely and you'll see the flat planing surface of the center tube; out of sight are the lifting strakes on the insides of the outer tubes. PTX technology provides better handling than simple round tubes, but requires more horsepower. Hydraulic steering comes standard with PTX, and the central tube allows for a long in-deck stowage locker, big enough for skis, wakeboards or fishing rods.
Construction Details
Premier's tubes are pressure-tested during manufacture, and come fitted with Pals tube vents to compensate for outside temperature fluctuation; the vents will also prevent the tube from filling with water in the event of a puncture, according to the builder. The tubes are attached to the deck with extruded M-brackets and Z-channel crossmembers on 16" (40.6 cm) centers; the company feels putting crossmembers on 16" centers rather than industry-standard 24" (61 cm) makes a stiffer frame. Extra crossmembers support the aluminum transom.
PTX technology lifting strakes let the boat get on plane faster and increase top speed by about 10%, according to Premier. But they only work on the inside of the tubes; adding strakes to the outside as well impairs performance, the company discovered.
The deck is pressure-treated marine-grade plywood, the only wood in the boat. (Even the furniture is wood-free.) It's attached to the crossmembers not with through-bolts, usually the best fastening for marine construction, but with stainless-steel Tek self-drilling, self-tapping fasteners. The Tek fasteners are screwed through the deck directly into the crossmember, generating enough heat to weld the fastener in place, says Premier. The plywood deck is covered with marine-grade carpet or vinyl.
The center tube in the PTX system allows for in-deck stowage. Carpet is standard on all S-Series Premiers.
We haven't tested an S-Series Premier yet, but Yamaha has: They ran a full performance trial on the 250 RF with a 250-hp V MAX SHO four-stroke outboard on her transom. That's max power for that boat with the 30" PTX tube, and we think most folks interested in the S-Series will want as much oomph as possible. The 235 models are limited to 225-hp – but opt for the 36" PTX tube and you can add horsepower to either model.
The results? Top speed was 43.4 mph (69.84 kph) WOT, cruise 17.6 mph (28.32 kph). That was with only two people on board, though – load up your 250 RF with a crowd and she won't be as fast. (The 250 RF is rated for 2950 lbs. capacity; using the wildly inaccurate lbs-to-people conversion factor, that's 15 people. We recommend keeping the party quite a bit smaller.) Range at WOT is about 50 miles (80.5 km), at cruise 68 miles (109.4 km), with a 10% fuel reserve in either case.
The S-Series 250 RE is a favorite of skiers and wakeboarders, who add the optional ski tow bar; it's about the only option necessary beyond standard equipment, in our opinion, and then only if you ski or board. We like the hefty swim ladder leading directly onto the deck.
Prices, Etc.
The Premier S-Series 250 RF comes with not only a lot of features, but also a price tag around $61,330 with the 250-hp Yamaha V MAX. We think this model and power is the best of the S-Series; other configurations will vary from this price. Skiers and wakeboarders will want to add the optional ski tow bar, but otherwise the boat is ready-to-go as standard.
The S-Series dual helm consoles each have a Flexsteel 7-Star swivel chair with adjustable arm rests. A Foletto steering wheel is standard, too. We like the mesh pocket next to the helm, handy for keeping the cell phone and handheld VHF or CB.
For comparison, a 25'8" (7.82 m) LOA Harris FloteBote Grand Mariner SEL 230 we tested recently has an MSRP of $62,430 with a 300-hp MerCruiser 5.7L 350 MAG MPI sterndrive (optional power – smaller engines are available). This 3-tube 'toon has ventilated and stepped tubes to increase performance; it's different from PTX technology, but intended to do the same thing. Our captain measured a top speed of 45.5 mph (73.2 kph), cruise 24.8 mph (39.9 kph). Fuel economy at cruise was almost the same as the Premier 250 RF, but the range of the Grand Mariner is greater because of her larger fuel tank.
The Yamaha V MAX SHO 250 tested on the S-Series 250 RF is a 4.2L four-stroke V-6 that the manufacturer says is the lightest motor in its class, at 505 lbs. (The Mercury OptiMax Pro XS 250 weighs the same, however.) Yamaha also claims the V MAX provides "awesome" hole shot and mid-range acceleration. We'd like to get our hands on one and find out firsthand.
Our opinion? There are lots of pontoons to choose from, but we like the S-Series's outboard power, sporty persona and overall style, especially the 250 RF version. Order it in black to match the Yamaha V MAX, and you'll be about as cool as you can be on a pontoon.

Some wise words from The Loop's Pip Jamieson (featured on the Desktop website) on whether or not to take an internship.
"For employers, it's not only a wonderful chance to give back to the industry, and help shape the seniors of tomorrow; it's also a chance to learn. Don't underestimate what juniors can bring to the table. Their minds are fertile with new ideas and skills; you'll be surprised how quickly they can teach an old dog new tricks… and, hey, who doesn't want to try before you buy?"

The Tiger gals and guys from St. John-Hudson won their league game at La Crosse Tuesday night with the Lady Tigers having an easier path to victory, defeating the Lady Leopards 74-22, while the Tiger men had to work for it, or at least in the first half, winning their game 53-22.
Except for a few turnovers and fouls, the #3 ranked Lady Tigers' defense came close to having a perfect first half, creating 22 La Crosse turnovers and allowing the Leopards just two baskets. St. John led at half-time 38-7.
The Tigers out-shot the Leopards 30-1 in the third quarter with St. John head coach Danny
Smith substituting freely, as he did in the first half. Smith took out his starters early in the fourth quarter, the Tigers winning the game 74-22.
On offense, St. John canned nine from beyond the arc, with junior Tia Smith having the hot hands, canning four 3-pointers, and fellow juniors Jamie Waters and Jessica Hanson each getting two. Senior Morgan Osborne had St. John's other three.
Scoring for St. John: Waters 22, Teresa Christie 14, Smith 12, Alexis Witt 10, Hanson 8, Osborne 4, Tara Christie 4.
3-point shots: 9 (Smith 4, Waters 2, Hanson 2, Osborne 1).
St. John made 58 percent of their field goals.
Turnovers: St. John 9 - La Crosse 37.
In the men's game, the #1 in 1A (div. I) St. John Tigers came up against much stiffer competition than the St. John Ladies faced. And while the Tigers had just seven first quarter points with Zuriel Reyes and Dean Wade doing all the scoring, the Leopards were fouling, which would eventually plague them in the second half.
The Tigers led by ten for much of the second quarter until La Crosse made a buzzer-beater along the baseline, taking the Tigers into the locker room leading 23-15.
From then on it was all St. John, especially from the start of the half until 6:16 left in the fourth quarter, the Tigers allowing just one Leopard point while out-scoring La Crosse by 27 - the score with St. John leading 50-19 and winning another league game 53-22.
La Crosse made two baskets in the second half.
Normally one of the Tigers strengths is their 3-pooint shooting. But not in this game. St. John made 1-14.
Scoring for St. John: Wade 18, Nusser 14, Reyes 7, Ethan Long 6, Sisco Calleros 4, Gera Calleros 2, Jacob Milton 2.
Free throws: 14-22 for 64 percent - Nusser 7, Wade 4, Sisco Calleros 2, Reyes 1.
Turnovers: St. John 8 - La Crosse 19.
St. John made 62 percent of their 2-point shots.

Walgreens to acquire Kerr Drugs
Published: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 2:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 2:24 p.m.
Walgreen Co. and Kerr Drug, a privately held regional pharmacy chain in North Carolina, announced today that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Walgreens would acquire certain assets of Kerr Drug's retail drugstores and specialty pharmacy business.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed, according to a joint news release from the two companies.
In fiscal year 2012, Kerr Drug's retail drugstores and specialty pharmacy business recorded total sales of $381 million.
"The acquisition advances Walgreens' strategy to deliver the .Well Experience. for customers by expanding Walgreens presence in North Carolina, a fast-growing market, including into many smaller communities," the news release says.
The acquisition is structured as an asset transaction and includes Kerr Drug's 76 retail drugstores and its specialty pharmacy business. The acquisition also includes a distribution center. Kerr Drug will retain ownership of its long-term care pharmacy business.
The transaction is subject to satisfaction of regulatory requirements and other conditions, and is expected to close sometime this year.
Until the acquisition closes, Kerr Drug and Walgreens will continue to operate separately. After closing, the acquired Kerr Drug retail drugstores will continue to operate under their current brand in the near term. Decisions will be made over time regarding the best, most effective way to integrate Kerr Drug's retail drugstores and specialty pharmacy business with Walgreens operations, the release says.

No. 5: "Independence Day"
There was a time (before "After Earth") when it wasn't summer without an epic Will Smith movie. There were the good ones ("Men in Black") and some not-so-good ones ("Wild, Wild West"), but no matter what the flick, you knew it was summer when Will graced the silver screen.
Was 1996's "Independence Day" the greatest story ever told? No. It was full of hackneyed and clichéd characters and situations.
And some of the dialogue? Cringeworthy. "Let's kick the tires and light the fires!" Oh, OK Harry Connick Jr., If you say so. And the ending was just laughable: How could Jeff Goldblum implant a computer virus on the alien mothership with a Macbook? Didn't the aliens have Norton Antivirus?
So why is this a classic? Just because. Cheesy and laughable though it is, it is a special effects powerhouse, and by the end of the show you wanted to go beat up E.T.

Congressman-elect Mark Meadows is assigned to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Committee on Foreign Affairs in the U.S. House of Representatives for the 113th Congress, according to a news release from Meadows' office.
"The Oversight and Government Reform Committee will allow me the opportunity to pursue a more efficient federal government, working to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse," Meadows said.

Outside Ulaanbaatar: Please take in mind that traveling in the countryside of Mongolia is often tough, a trip is conducted in remote areas where there's no hotel and paved roads exist.
Outside of Ulaanbaatar, tourist Ger camps are the best accommodation for travelers. A Ger is Mongolian traditional dwelling made of felt layers and wooden construction, and the Mongols have lived in Gers since the time immemorial. Tourist Ger camps offer comfortable Gers with 1-4 beds with good bedding, and also have western style showers and WCs (mostly shared). A few Ger camps offer en-suite Gers at additional charge (please ask your Selena Travel advisor for this). Due to remoteness some tourist Ger camps may not excel in service, so travelers may not always expect high pressure showers, bubble baths or gourmet food etc.
The city of Karakorum: In 1220 the great Chinghis Khaan declared it as the capital city of his vast Empire. Today there are many interesting sites left to visit; the legendary turtle rock sculptures, Buddhist stupas and the ruins of this once great city to name a few. Erdenezuu is the first Buddhist monastery in the Mongolian Empire, established in 1586. Today Erdenezuu monastery still shows its glory with collections of many priceless religious objects and incredibly beautiful Mongolian arts. It has a massive square wall, 420 meters in length each side, a total of 108 Stupas and 17 temples.
The Gobi desert is the most mysterious place on earth The Gobi invites you to reveal its secrets. This region is famous for its unique natural formations, many places where you can dig and find real dinosaur fossils, flora and fauna not found anywhere else in the world. Ride the 2 humped Bactrian camels and discover the Gobi!
Bayanzag (Flaming Cliffs) is internationally famous for its fossilized dinosaur remains. Dinosaur nests with eggs were found here as well as whole fossilized skeletons.
The Khongoriin Els sand dunes extend along the northern side of Sevrei and Zuulun mountain ranges. These dunes are 180 km long, 15-20 km wide and up to 200m high. There is a small oasis near Khongoriin gol stream, which flows along the northern edge of the dunes. The scenery here is simply spectacular.
Yoliin Am (Vulture's Gorge) is a narrow valley located in the Zuun Saikhan Mountain range, with thick pieces of ice almost all year around hidden in its depths. This area is home to rare animals such as the Argali (wild sheep) and Ibex as well as Vultures and other large birds.
Jul 11, 2012. Gobi & Karakorum customized 13 days tour with Naadam Festival Having arrived back home, I cannot thank you enough for arranging our unbelievable journeys in Mongolia! Please know that we were thrilled with each adventure, and I am hopeful that I can return again, as soon as next summer. We have memories as expansive as the lands we saw. In the Gobi, Bayarmaa was a lovely guide -- we especially appreciated her expertise when visiting the Flaming Cliffs. She also showed us nesting lammergeiers -- they are HUGE, and we were so grateful that she spotted them! Driver "Hulday" (pardon my spelling) was terrific. His Furgon was as clean as could be, and by taking dozens of photos through the crystal-clear windows, I have many wonderful sights of the nomads, dunes, animals, birds, and vast areas of that region. I was thrilled that my small luggage fit easily on the EZNIS flights. We also thought that the ger camps in the Gobi were among the best that we visited. ...Karen and friends
Aug 08, 2012. Gobi & Karakorum customized 11 days tour Sending you some of our nicer pictures. Some are chosen for their beautiful scenery while the rest are just us happily playing and goofing around. There are a couple of shots of us doing some Mongolian wrestling, as suggested by Oyuna since we missed out on the mini-Naadam festival. She said since we missed it, we might as well organise our own festival by playing some Mongolian games. Haha... We had so much fun playing those games!!! :)OK, I hope you like the pictures we send you. Best regards to everyone at Selena Travel and thank you once again for all your assistance.Margaret Suganda
Aug 10, 2012. Gobi & Karakorum Explorer tour Our recent "The Gobi & Karakorum Explorer" tour with you was excellent, everything exceeded our expectations! It was a super trip in our lives and we loved our Mongolia holiday so much. Our guide Joe was kind, well organised, accurate and informative, polite and caring and always provided us with timely information. And our driver Jack is super, very friendly, professional and always on time. We are wild travellers, having been to many places in the world - but Mongolia is still truly unspoiled and uncontaminated. Selena Travel's services were perfect right from the very first email. We would like to thank Selena Travel, our guide and our driver for having made this Mongolia experience a truly beautiful one with so many wonderful memories.Rafaella, Benedetta, Lidia

These Pretty in Pink Gnomes may sneak out to your garden to work with each each pink flower to make it as pretty as possible. One larger (4 1/2" tall) dressed in wool felt with a deep pink cape and cap and one smaller (4" tall) dressed in a light pink cape and cap make a wonderful pair and add a bit of cheer to a nature table, child's room, story, or window sill. Sturdy enough for every day play. Fits perfectly in the palm of your child's hand. Great for a birthday. Great paired with a set of 6 Wood Mushrooms. (Measurement is from bottom of gnome to top of its cap. Cap sizes can vary a tiny bit - these are all handmade.)
Handmade of wool felt on a wooden base, exclusively for A Toy Garden. USA. Not for children under the age of 3.
"Sonya, thank you for my order! It arrived a week or so ago and my children (and I!) love the toys. We are gradually getting rid of all of our plastic toys that "sing", as my daughter says, and replacing them with natural toys that inspire the imagination. The gnomes that we ordered have taken on so many roles in the last week...a mom for our dollhouse, a baby to make a bed for out of silks and tuck into said bed, a monster for the dollhouse, a little pet of some kind, and a grandma to the other toys!" Thank you, Kelly B., Tualatin, OR 8/26/07"

Beautifully simple, graphic and striking representation of icons from two of the world's great cities — Paris and New York — by Paris-based graphic designer and blogger Vahram Muratyan, as featured in Sunday's Guardian.
Vahram's talents extend beyond his 'tally of two cities', being the co-founder of Paris studio Viiiz. Cue the digging around for more Parisian eye candy (Fanette Mellier another French favourite).

It is clear you have a love of teaching as an art in addition to photography... My expectations for this course were only slightly more than: This is a camera, point at fish, shoot...However, this course was outstanding and could appropriately be titled: An Introduction to Becoming a Professional Photographer.

Top Of The BedGo Back To Guides
Let's face it - no one likes to make their bed. Yet it has come a long way since its day as a dreaded daily chore of childhood. It has evolved into a means of displaying your personality and sense of style in the bedroom. Your bed should look and feel great - a retreat from the rest of the world. Whether you want to give the impression that you're living large or simply cozy, you can give your bed a designer appearance with plenty of comfort.
Stop hiding under the covers and replace that boring bedding with something new. With all the choices available, choosing a bed covering may seem like an overwhelming task, but it really isn't. Each type comes in sizes to fit your respective mattress. Familiarize yourself with the choices available, and you'll find that changing your bedding is an excellent way to transform your bedroom.
This appropriately named bed topping is designed to do what it says – comfort you. Comforters are essentially two pieces of fabric stitched together on all four ends and filled with either polyester or down to give them their plush feel. Patterned comforters are used to cover your bed and set the style, while solids are often slipped into a duvet cover and used for warmth rather than decoration.
These coverings have a simple charm with a traditional appeal. The material is usually pieced into a wonderful design that will make a statement in the bedroom. They consist of a layer of cotton or polyester fill between two layers of fabric all stitched together and are usually lighter in weight than a comforter.
Cover yourself in warmth and comfort. Let season dictate your choice of blanket. For fall and winter, you'll want a heavier blanket than for spring or summer. Cotton, fleece and acrylic blankets are suitable for warmer times of the year because they tend to be lightweight. On the other hand, you may prefer a heavier wool or down blanket, typically warmer, during the cooler months. If you hate the idea of hopping into a chilly bed, consider layering an electric blanket between your flat sheet and bed covering to pre-heat your bed.
Derived from French, a duvet (pronounced du-vay) cover is literally a protective, and often decorative cover for your comforter and a must for your down comforter. It is also referred to as a comforter cover. Simply slip your comforter into the duvet cover and close by buttoning, tying or zipping, depending on the type of closure it has. Remove the cover to clean. These little numbers come in as many varieties as you'd expect to find in patterned comforters. Play it safe with a solid color, or make a bold statement with an exciting pattern. The choice is yours.
Timeless and simple, these coverings are classics when it comes to bedding. They're a one shot solution to what to put on your bed. The lightweight and decorative piece covers the entire bed, including the mattress, box spring and pillows. Occasionally, coordinating shams are offered, but most often the bedspread is used alone.
Let's face it – a bed just isn't a bed without shams. (It would be a-sham-e not to include one in your ensemble.) They slip right over a pillow, polishing your bed's appearance and giving it a luxurious presence. Coordinating shams can usually be purchased for a comforter, duvet cover or quilt. However, they are also available in solid colors that you can use to match with your bedding if you'd prefer to fashion your own ensemble.
These rectangular beauties can make a bed. (No, they won't tidy it up for you in the morning, but they can certainly enhance its look.) Standard shams are the most common and are usually 20" x 26", while king shams are 20" x 36". Frequently they are made specifically to match a bedding pattern, making it a superb way to maintain a uniform appearance.
They may not be as worldly or exotic as the name indicates, but they will most certainly help create an inviting bed. These square pillow coverings usually measure 26" x 26" and fit over European pillows. Many bedding patterns offer this size sham to coordinate with them. When used with standard shams, they create a stellar ensemble.
Who doesn't store things under their bed? The solution to keeping these things hidden is a bed skirt, also called a dust ruffle. This neat little skirt is both practical and attractive. It hides what you don't want seen and enhances the bedding ensemble at the same time.
This clever creation not only gives your bed a finished appearance, but it also keeps the box spring and dust bunnies out of sight. It has a platform that attaches to your mattress and a skirt that drops to the floor, covering the area from your box spring to the floor. Two common styles of bed skirts include the straight skirt, which has a modern appeal and the ruffled, which has more of a classic style. Most bed skirts are 14 to 15 inches long, but do come longer. Because bed heights can vary, it's important to measure to ensure that the bed skirt you want will reach the floor.
So your newly fashioned bed is finished, yet seems to be silently crying for something more. Consider toss pillows – the a la carte toppings of the bedding world. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles. Many bedding patterns have coordinating pillows, and often, each pillow picks up on a different element of the overall design. A combination of toss pillows in a variety of shapes and sizes will give you the ultimate in bed dressings. In addition to their aesthetic beauty, they also make the top of your bed a comfy place to curl up with a book. They are usually filled with polyester or a feather/down combination. Additionally, they are sometimes accented with cording, fringe, tassels or a flange. Without decorative pillows your bed is like a hot fudge sundae without the maraschino cherry.
Although this square-shaped pillow can come in any size, it is most commonly 18"x 18" or 16" x 16". It's the old standby of decorative pillows.
Despite the name, these are not designed for you to use when eating breakfast in bed. These romantically-sized pillows add an adorable touch to a finished bed. They are usually about 12" x 18", giving them a cute rectangular shape.
Taken from French, this rectangular pillow is the twin of the breakfast toss and is generally 12" x 18".
Cylindrical in shape, these pillows are aptly name, for their shape makes them perfect for slipping under your neck.
Fear not, this toss pillow won't make a peep. Its name comes from its shape. The round pillow often has fringe on the edge, calling to mind its namesake even more.

The budget order is a critical document in calculating tax bills. The order contains the state's certification of the approved budget, the certified net assessed value, the tax rate and the levy for each fund of each taxing unit in a county.

Ratio Study
As part of the Annual Adjustment process, counties are responsible for submitting a ratio study and uniformity for all classes of property in all townships. The ratio study measures the accuracy and equity of assessments. It is determined by the formula: Assessed Value/Sale Price = Ratio. The assessment ratio for all properties in Indiana is to be 100%.
The accuracy of assessments refers to how close the assessments determined by local assessing officials are to market value-in-use.
Assessment Progress
On-time property tax billing is a culmination of a year's worth of work of locally elected officials. The process can be separated into two stages: Assessment-to-Budget and Budget-to-Tax Billing. Because these two stages are closely tied, delays in any of the steps in these two stages can have an affect on the timing of property tax bills.
Because each report is very technical in nature, please view the Glossary for definitions of terms used.
Note: The Department will not be providing GANTT Charts for Assessment-to-Tax Billing cycles after 2009-pay-2010.
The Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) developed summaries to provide taxpayers information about property taxes in their counties. Each county summary provides a property tax breakdown and shows the shift of property tax burden between property classes. Additionally, the summaries break down where each property tax dollar goes, show a comparison of local spending by unit and list recent debt issued by unit. Finally, the summaries reveal how much local spending has changed over a 10-year period and compare it to the rate of inflation.
Summaries represent the best information available to the Department. Because some counties have not provided complete data to the Department, information in the summaries may vary.
2012 to current year Property Tax Summaries are now available on Gateway.

Hearing set for players accused in robbery case
Published: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 11:42 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 11:42 a.m.
Hearings have been set in the cases of two suspended University of Alabama football players accused of robbery and fraudulent use of a credit card.
A joint preliminary hearing for Eddie Williams and Brent Calloway has been scheduled for March 19 in Tuscaloosa County District Court, according to court documents filed this morning.
The attorney for D.J. Pettway has requested a hearing, but one had not yet been set.
Defendants usually choose to waive a hearing if they are out on bond and if prosecutors have already shared discovery evidence, such as police reports and other investigative documents.
If a judge finds enough evidence to continue prosecution of a defendant, or if the defendant waives the district court hearing, cases are sent to a grand jury for consideration. A grand jury can either throw out a case or choose to indict a defendant, which would then send the case through circuit court.
Alternately, a defendant can choose to enter a guilty plea before being indicted. Those who do are often sentenced to pre-trial diversion programs, such as drug court.
Attorneys for Williams, 20, Calloway, 18, and Pettway, 20, have all requested that a judge grant the men youthful offender status.
An attorney for Tyler Hayes, 20, had not yet filed any documents in his case as of this morning.
Williams is accused of robbing two University of Alabama students during the early morning hours of Feb. 11, taking a laptop and a wallet. Pettway and Hayes are accused of participating in one of the robberies and being present during the other.
Williams and Calloway are also accused of fraudulent use of a credit card. Investigators said that they used one of the victim's student identification cards to purchase items from a vending machine in Bryant Hall, the athletic dorm on campus where they lived.
All of the men have been suspended from the UA football team. All but Calloway have been suspended from attending classes and are not allowed on campus. Hearings scheduled by the school's Office of Student Judicial Affairs are expected to be conducted this week, according to a UA spokeswoman.

Related MediaMiami's CBS 4 talks to Danny Foster
Reuben Foster's father arrested after 16 years on the run
Published: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 4:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 4:08 p.m.
Authorities have arrested a man who escaped from a jail in eastern Alabama in 1996 and had been on the run since then.
U.S. Marshals Spokesman Scott Sides says 41-year-old Danny Foster, who CBS 42 identified as the father of University of Alabama football signee Reuben Foster, was captured Friday in Miami. The man was originally arrested in Randolph County after he allegedly shot his estranged wife, Inita Berry Paige, who was holding their 18-month-old son, Reuben Foster. Authorities say the boy was also wounded in his back.
He was wanted on charges of assault, shooting into an occupied dwelling and escape.
"Foster had been on the run for a while now and this investigation to apprehend him is an example of what can result when tenacious investigators from different agencies work together to get a violent offender behind bars," said Arthur Baylor, a U.S. Marshal with Alabama's Middle District in a release.
Danny Foster was indicted by a Randolph County grand jury in 1996 and fled the state before being arrested in California. Sides says he was extradited to Randolph County and escaped from the county jail in December of 1996.
Foster had taken on a new identity and denied being Danny Foster when arrested, according to a release from the U.S. Marshals service. Only after he was fingerprinted did Foster acknowledge his true identity.
According to a report by CBS' Miami affiliate, Foster was living under the name Jefferson McClendon and is wanted for questioning in a 1997 Alabama homicide.
Sides says Foster took on a new identity in Miami and will again be extradited to Randolph County.

Two suspects, including a man who is reported to be a pastor from Shawnee, remained in federal custody Wednesday as part of a child pornography investigation.
The FBI arrested Jerry Duane Barham, 66, of Shawnee, and Melissa Renee Loman, 33, of Shawnee, in connection with that child pornography investigation, Special Agent Rick Rains confirmed.
An official website for Grace Fellowship New Testament Church in Shawnee listed Jerry Barham as its pastor Wednesday. That website was taken offline late Wednesday afternoon and was no longer available for viewing. The church is located at 1108 N. Kickapoo.
Bob Troester, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Oklahoma City, said Wednesday that both Barham and Loman face federal counts involving possession and production of child pornography.
"The specifics remain under seal," Troester said about the case. According to the FBI, a federal judge sealed affidavits involving their arrests.
Troester said Barham is detained in federal custody and Loman is also being detained at a facility in Oklahoma City.
Troester said he anticipates more information about this case being available in the next couple weeks.
Watch for updates.

The type geniuses at Heofler Frere-Jones have put together these four tips, all built around H&FJ's Highly Scientific First Principle of Combining Fonts: keep one thing consistent, and let one thing vary.
- A palette with wit: use typefaces with complementary moods to evoke an upbeat, energetic air.
- A palette with energy: mix typefaces from the same historical period whose families have different features.
- A palette with poise: mix typefaces with a similar line quality if they offer different textures.
- A palette with dignity: mix typefaces with similar proportions and give each a different role.
You will find supporting references in their original post. They illustrated the four tips using their own typefaces but these principles could apply generally. However if you are looking for some of the most astounding and crafted typefaces in the world. These guys are it.
This was an old post from the previous blog originally posted by Meave in Melbourne. Thanks Meave.

Yesterday the students in Manchester took a break from the computer to work on a brief entirely handmade.
The project encourages the students to experiment with different techniques in craft, treating the computer as just a tool to bring the final components together to create and commercially viable piece of graphic design in the form of an album or book cover, gig poster, press ad and even a beer bottle label.
The work saw various techniques explored from paper craft, to sculpture and collage.
Here are a few pictures from the day documenting the process and fun times being had.
*After two years of teaching here i can finally hang up my hat satisfied that i finally made it into a students project for grizzly beer.

This is a great article about the presentation process a designer goes through with a client, highlighting some of the critical areas that might be missed in the process. There are some really interesting questions being asked, one especially regarding how many concepts should be presented to a client.
A must read!!!

The Libeskind Building
The modern architectural elements of the Libeskind building comprise the zinc façade, the Garden of Exile, the three Axes of the German-Jewish experience, and the Voids. Together these pieces form a visual and spatial language rich with history and symbolism. They not only house the museum with its exhibits, but they also provide visitors with their own unique experience as they walk through the spaces.
"Between the Lines": The Groundplan
"The official name of the project is 'Jewish Museum' but I have named it 'Between the Lines' because for me it is about two lines of thinking, organization and relationship. One is a straight line, but broken into many fragments, the other is a tortuous line, but continuing indefinitely." (Daniel Libeskind, 1998)
Zig-zag best describes the form of the Jewish Museum's New Building. The architect Daniel Libeskind's design is based on two linear structures which, combined, form the body of the building.
The first line is a winding one with several kinks while the second line cuts through the whole building. At the intersections of these lines are empty spaces – "Voids" – which rise vertically from the ground floor of the building up to the roof. Libeskind imagines the continuation of both lines throughout the city of Berlin and beyond.
Lines Without Order? The Façade of the New Building
"An irrational and invisible matrix" (Daniel Libeskind, 1995)
The façade of the Libeskind Building barely enables conclusions to be drawn as to the building's interior, the division of neither levels nor rooms being apparent to the observer. Nevertheless, the positioning of the windows – primarily narrow slits – follows a precise matrix. During the design process, the architect Daniel Libeskind plotted the addresses of prominent Jewish and German citizens on a map of pre-war Berlin and joined the points to form an "irrational and invisible matrix" on which he based the language of form, the geometry and shape of the building.
The positioning of windows in the New Building was also based on this network of connections.
The whole of the New Building is coated in zinc, a material that has a long tradition in Berlin's architectural history. Over the years, the untreated alloy of titanium and zinc will oxidize and change color through exposure to light and weather.
The Voids
A Void "is not really a museum space." (Daniel Libeskind, 1999)
The Voids represent the central structural element of the New Building and the connection to the Old Building. From the Old Building, a staircase leads down to the basement through a Void of bare concrete which joins the two buildings.
Five cavernous Voids run vertically through the New Building. They have walls of bare concrete, are not heated or air-conditioned and are largely without artificial light, quite separate from the rest of the building. On the upper levels of the exhibition, the Voids are clearly visible with black exterior walls. The Israeli artist Menashe Kadishman's steel sculpture "Shalechet" (Fallen Leaves) covers the entire floor of one of the five Voids.
The Museum's Voids refer to "that which can never be exhibited when it comes to Jewish Berlin history: Humanity reduced to ashes." (Daniel Libeskind, 2000)
Paths of German Jews: The Underground Axes
An underground passageway links the Old Building with the Libeskind Building which has no official entrance. Visitors who pass through the great Void down to the end of the staircase from the Old Building will find the Rafael Roth Learning Center on their right, while ahead of them lies a path system made up of three axes symbolizing three realities in the history of German Jews.
The first and longest of these axes is the "Axis of Continuity." It connects the Old Building with the main staircase (Sackler Staircase) which leads up to the exhibition levels. The architect describes the Axis of Continuity as the continuation of Berlin's history, the connecting path from which the other axes branch off.
The "Axis of Emigration" leads outside to daylight and the Garden of Exile. On the way there, the walls are slightly slanted and close in the further one goes, while the floor is uneven and ascends gradually. A heavy door must be opened before the crucial step into the garden can be taken.
The "Axis of the Holocaust" is a dead end. It becomes ever narrower and darker and ends at the Holocaust Tower. The glass cases on the way display documents and personal possessions testifying to the private and public life of their owners who were killed.
All three of the underground axes intersect, symbolizing the connection between the three realities of Jewish life in Germany.
Exit in Confusion: The Garden of Exile
The Garden of Exile attempts "to completely disorient the visitor. It represents a shipwreck of history." (Daniel Libeskind, 1999)
The Garden of Exile is reached after leaving the axes. Forty-nine concrete stelae rise out of the square plot. The whole garden is on a 12° gradient and disorients visitors, giving them a sense of the total instability and lack of orientation experienced by those driven out of Germany. Russian willow oak grows on top of the pillars symbolizing hope.

On Thursday, January 17, Jonathan David Gardner, a 30-year-old Granite Falls man, pled guilty to felony 3rd Degree Criminal Sex Conduct for engaging in sex with a 13-year-old girl while he worked as the Upper Sioux Tribal Tobacco Coordinator.
Gardner will be sentenced, according to the Yellow Medicine County Attorney, on March 14. The maximum sentence for 3rd Degree Criminal Sex Conduct is 15 years in prison and $30,000 in fines.
Allegedly, Gardner, while working as the Tribal Tobacco Coordinator, initiated a relationship with an unidentified minor in February 2012, which escalated to sexual intercourse within Gardner's home. Gardner engaged in sexual contact with the minor from roughly March 1 to May 31 of 2012.
According to court documents, the Upper Sioux Police Department was alerted by tribal officials of inappropriate conduct by Gardner on June 12. On that date, board members from the Upper Sioux Community Board of Trustees reported that the mother of the victim had informed them that Gardner had attempted to kiss her daughter on the lips while the two of them were alone during a youth trip to the Pipestone quarry that Gardner had planned through the Upper Sioux Community. Gardner and three other adults chaperoned the trip.
On June 12, Gardner was placed on administrative leave and escorted from his office by Upper Sioux Police. On Gardner's work computer, police found over 250 adult pornography pictures, several pictures that Gardner took of his own genitalia and a photo of Gardner having sex with an unidentifiable female.
On June 15 a search warrant was served on Gardner's residence at 865 8th Ave. in Granite Falls. On June 30 Gardner was released from YMC Jail on a $50,000 conditional bond.

Not Available
First things first, let's take a look at the numbers. With 200 gallons (757 L) of fuel, two persons and test gear, our 3400 CC had a test weight of just over 12,000 lbs. The triple Yamaha 300-hp V6 four-strokes had no trouble cranking us up to a top speed of 54.7 mph. At that speed, we were burning 79.4 gph and getting .69 miles per gallon for a range of 221 miles.
At 3000 rpm we were running at a best cruise of 24.3 mph with a 19.2 gph fuel burn. Now we were getting 1.26 mpg for a range of about 400 statute miles with a 10% reserve.
The 3400 CC reached planing speed in 3.8 seconds and accelerated through 30 mph in 7.2 seconds.
Power choices range from twin V6's, twin V8's, or as in the case of our test boat, triple V6's.
And Handling
Underway the 3400 CC was very responsive to the helm and possessed a solid feel through all maneuvers. Our test day showed winds at 25-30 kts with solid chop and we had a stable ride, regardless of which direction we headed. Because we had heavy winds and a major tide running, we were not able to get minimum trolling speeds, but we can report that the triple Yamahas did a great job of keeping the turbulence down at idle speed, even with all three in gear.
When taking off, there is a minimal 7-degree bow rise, which isn't much, but because the bow is so far ahead of the console, and I'm only 5'8" tall, I did lose visibility. Even on plane, the bow was just above the horizon, so my usual complaint with most all Hydra-Sports still holds with this 3400 CC. Please add a step behind the helm for the vertically challenged, and problem solved. I do like that I had no trouble seeing over the console.
Drift fishermen will love this boat, as she presents her whole side to the drift allowing the boat's entire length to be utilized, and beam seas were no worry on stability, even with the added weight of the tower well above the center of gravity.
Even with the heavy chop, we experienced a surprisingly dry ride, and with the dual control stations, operating from the tower had us feeling like a kid in a candy store. Every time we expected the adverse conditions to have an adverse effect on the 3400 CC we were proven wrong. This was an exceptional handling boat in everything we could throw at it. True to form for Hydra-Sports. She is a solid and stable boat.
So let's take a close look at the layout and see what the 3400 CC brings to the table. Starting at the stern, the first notable feature is the flat deck in the engine well. It runs all the way across the transom and you wouldn't believe how convenient that little feature is when it comes time to work on your engines, or even when removing the engine covers. Three rocket launchers with powder coated bases are just above, and on the back of the transom. Right at the transom door is a fresh-water washdown for quick cleanups when swimming or diving.
At the top of the transom to starboard is a compartment housing a hose bib for the raw water washdown, room to coil a hose, and a small cutting board over a space to store wire leaders, or other items you might need to get to right away. Below is storage for Plano tackle drawers and next to that, a great feature… a pull out "tackle trash" receptacle to keep monofilament from going into the water.
In the center of the transom is a flip-down rumble seat. I liked how the padded bolster lifts to form a comfortable backrest, making this a great seat for riding out to the canyons. Just behind is a hatch covering the fuel manifolds. Below the deck is a standard Hydra-Sports feature, a convenient pump room housing all bilge pumps, livewell pumps, and raw water washdown pumps. I like how the hatch has a channel to direct water to an overboard drain that supplements the oversized scuppers of the self bailing cockpit.
Padded bolsters run 360-degrees around the cockpit. Under the gunwales is lockable rod storage, and down low is a toe rail for hooking your feet under for an extra dose of safety.
Center Stage
The rigging station features a powder coated grab handle mounted on the lid. Under is a cutting board next to a large 50 gallon (189.3L) livewell, painted blue and aerated, with an adjustable water level tube on the right side. At waist level is another grab handle running the full length of the rigging station. The sides house storage drawers.
The helm features three-across seating with drop-down seats that wrap around you for sustained high-speed operation. The boat is operated from the center seat. Dual 12" (30.48 cm) displays lie to either side of the panel with a Yamaha multi-function display in the center. Just below is an autopilot.
To the left of the helm is a removable panel that houses the stereo and three rows of rocker switches. Digital throttle controls are to the right and mounted on a 45-degree angle. A station selection switch lies next to the controls to operate from the lower or tower station. Trim tab controls are to the right. Looking ahead, I noticed a glass windshield, not plastic, so there's zero distortion, with a wiper/washer.
Under the gunwales, and amidships are pull-out storage bins that Hydra-Sports calls "potato bins." They're quite convenient, and serve the dual purpose of allowing access to the underside of the gunwale mounted hardware. There is also dedicated storage for a fire extinguisher.
Inside the console are a head, battery switches, house batteries, a hatch in the bulkhead to access the electronics installation at the helm, a porcelain head with standard overboard pump out, and a stainless steel sink.
Take a Bow
Forward, powder-coated grab handles are recessed below the caprails to prevent snagging on any lines. The optional tower is mounted to the gunwales so you'll have to pass your rod around the supports if transitioning from one end of the boat to the other. Small tradeoff for the rock solid stability you'll enjoy when up high in a seaway.
In the deck is a storage compartment housing your reboarding ladder and a recessed bucket holder. In the center of the bow is a Frigid Rigid coffin box that has an option for being refrigerated. On top is an ergonomic lounger that allows you to be reclined when sitting on it as opposed to sitting straight up.
There is additional lockable rod storage under the gunwales at the bow. Another raw water washdown is to starboard. Dual fishboxes lie under the elevated foredeck that easily converts to a casting deck by simply leaving the sunpads, which your wife made you buy, in the truck. Fully forward are a stainless windlass with accessible rope locker beneath, and a separate storage compartment for a secondary anchor and line.
Without a doubt, this is not only one of the best looking CC boats we've seen, but as is consistent with Hydra-Sports, one of the best equipped boats as well. True, our test boat had a lot of options included, but being able to customize your 3400 CC is the hallmark of a lot of sales.

- Why Mighty Leaf?
Bombay Chai - 100 pouches foil wrap
Bombay Chai tea with a melange of spicy notes conjures the steamy, aromatic delights of an Indian street market. Black tea leaves with subtle hints of pepper, orange, cinnamon, cardamom, and clove make up our chai, the Indian word for tea. Bombay Chai tea is delicious when brewed fresh and blended with heated milk and sugar to taste.
Black tea, cinnamon, pepper, cardamom, ginger, star anise, natural flavors, cloves
Medium leaves with spice bits
Spicy, sweet nose
Dark reddish-brown liquor
Smooth and complex body with spicy notes
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Slowly open up our specially created, sensually handcrafted tea pouch and enjoy the aroma of fresh whole tea leaves. Use one Mighty Leaf tea pouch per cup.
Infusion Time
Pour water over tea pouch. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 3 - 5 minutes. Watch how the leaves within the pouch have room to gracefully unfurl in your cup, creating a rich and flavorful infusion and a superior tasting tea.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Health Benefits
Black tea
Black tea contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols that may aid in fighting harmful free radicals. Research shows that these free radicals can cause heart disease, cancer and increase the risk of strokes. Drinking black tea with its high antioxidant levels may help protect the body by counteracting harmful free radical activity.
Further health benefits of black tea may include lowering cholesterol, strengthening the immune system, promoting healthy blood vessel functionality and even protecting teeth and bones. In addition, black tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium, Manganese, potassium, calcium, and the vitamins C and K all in trace amounts.
Cinnamon (Cinnamomanum Zeylanicum)
Also known by its Indian name Dalchini, Cinnamon is used to promote digestion, relieve nervous tension and headaches and to fight common cold symptoms.
Cardomom (Eletraria cardomomum)
Also known by its Indian name Chotti Elaichi, Cardomom is used to improve digestion, relieve nervous tension and headaches and as a general healing agent. Its often proscribed to treat depression.
Bombay Chai makes an excellent pick me up drink any time of day. Serve to guests as a welcoming gesture in your home. Instead of coffee, try drinking chai in the morning with milk and sugar.
Prepare a Chai Latte, using steeped Bombay Chai, steamed milk, sugar and powdered cinnamon or nutmeg on top.
