It is our objective to shape the youth into well rounded individuals. We believe that every student deserves to learn about Christ, receive encouragement and to be challenged to reach their maximum potential. It is essential to surround the youth with positive role models to achieve these goals.
"This will be our third year with Justin and staff! The growth that I have seen in my son over these years is beyond words! With the staffs hard work and consistency my son has become more focused, has a better understanding of the game and is executing what he has learned during practice in the game and has confidence has grown on and off the court! Justin has never gave up on my son even when my son was lazy and didn't want to perform. What I like about this program is it doesn't stop during off season! This program cares about these kids all year round and maintains relationships year round! It is truly a family atmosphere and we wouldn't want to be anywhere else!"
"My grandson eats sleeps and dreams basketball. He started playing at the centre at 5yrs old. At 11yrs old we heard about the Jr Hilltoppers feeder team and that is where we met Justin. Justin has shown and helped him learn the fundamentals and prepare him to play basketball in school. So when Justin told us about starting up his EPIC Hoopz team there was no question about it that we wanted our grandson to learn more. And anything that we could do to encourage his dream of playing in the NBA one day is what I feel working with Justin will help him accomplish."

Lying, stealing, fighting, running away, using profanity, physically hurting other people (on purpose), and kicking, screaming tantrums. Have you ever felt battle weary after a long day with a child who is considered "behaviorally challenged"? I've been there. Here are some tips to help you and that child make this school year a productive one.

Every year, it seems as through there are more and more kids in school with serious behavioral issues, and teachers are on the front lines with them all day. These are the kids that when you hear about them in the teacher's lounge, you begin praying that they get counseling before winding up on your roster. These are the kids who make you think about tearing your hair out, crying, and quitting your job. BUT, these are also the kids who, after a long, hard year, when you have helped them with their problems and loved them, make you cherish your job and remember why you went into teaching.
Image at right courtesy of It's a Loveless World.
Here are some things to keep in mind. In your classroom, you probably have some sort of classroom behavior management system in place. One that reinforces good behavior and tracks rule-breaking behavior. In my class, I use a traffic light made from paper plates. Children's names are written on clothespins and clipped to green. They move their pins to yellow after breaking a rule, which means they owe me ten minutes of recess time. If they move to red, they owe me a 20 minute time out and get a note home.
Generally speaking, this kind of system works for about 80% of a class. About 10% of kids are perfectly angelic all the time and would be fine even if you didn't have any system in place. Then there are about 10% for whom this system is not comprehensive enough to moderate their behaviors, or their behaviors are so severe that they need more immediate, specific consequences and rewards. Let's talk about those kids, the ones in the most challenging ten percent.
Here are TEN things that you can do to help these students correct their behaviors.
1. Check the child's cumulative record. Sometimes there may be confidential files with notes from previous teachers, records of their behaviors, and other clues about what is causing the behaviors.
2. Talk to the child's previous teachers. They might have some insight into the family situation, helpful hints on what worked well with the child, and a sympathetic ear!
3. Document the behaviors: who was involved and the date. This will give you a concrete document tracking the behavioral pattern and allow you to see what kind of behaviors are consistently appearing.
4. Talk to your principal about the situation. Let your principal know what is happening in your class and give him or her a heads up that you may need some support. My principal did everything from teaching my class and removing a student for a time out to giving me supportive notes and generous rewards.
5. Meet with the parents. Sometimes they are your greatest ally in correcting these behaviors, and sometimes they are the source of the problem. More often than not, parents want to help their children and YOU! Their support and participation are the most powerful tools in helping their child control him or herself. Communication is key!
6. Be extremely consistent about reinforcements, consequences, and rewards. Usually these kids are really skilled at testing boundaries. Be a wall.
7. Be prepared to call in help from your school's principal, counselors, teachers, aides, and child services. There are some things that are beyond your ability to handle alone.
8. Create a behavior contract/star chart. During the meeting with the parents, I propose a behavior contract. Basically this paper, which travels home and to school every day, documents positive and negative behaviors and proposes rewards or consequences for them. I also include a communication log that allows the parents to let me know if they started out with a bad morning or if something unusual happened. It also tells me about rewards and consequences that occurred as a result of the school day. For my part, I use the log to write praise and to document positive and negative behaviors. Parents sign it each day after they discuss the child's behavior with them. Email works as well, but I want to build in the idea that the child is making choices related to the contract and is responsible for it.

9. Involve the child when discussing rewards and consequences. Make sure that the child understands that they are the ones making the choices that lead to the consequences and the rewards. They need to choose the reward that matters to them. Then they are more likely to work for it. On the flip side, the same is true for consequences. For many kids, a time out at home is no big deal, but going without the TV/computer/video game is torture. Find out what the child values the most.
10. Tackle the big behaviors first and ignore the smaller behaviors. This was tough. I had one student who was working on keeping hands, feet, and objects to himself. He fought with other students almost daily and had hit and kicked a teacher. I had to ignore blurting, clowning, and other attention-getting behaviors. At first, I celebrated with him the days when he kept his hands, feet, and objects to himself. As he became more consistent with that, we added making appropriate responses. By the end of the year, even though I had been very strict with him about his contract, he gave me a big hug. He said that I was the best teacher ever and thanked me for my patience and for helping him learn self-control!
All important bonus #11. Find a way to relieve stress, to vent, and to relax. Teaching is both wonderful and stressful. When you have a behaviorally challenged child in your class, it's even more so. There was a year that I offered to teach P.E. and art for other teachers if they'd sub in my class for 30 minutes. Other years, I went to an exercise class or art class for personal growth. Sometimes my stress relief was losing myself in a movie or immersing myself in a book. This gave me a way to decompress from the day. Then I was able to go back the next day refocused and refreshed. Find what relaxes you and make it your "go to" activity when you have had a hard day.
Happy teaching,

Nancy, I feel very defeated with a behavior issue that I have in my classroom of 20 Pre-k children. When people say it takes a village well they certainly meant it with this child. He is very smart and can be so sweet however he lacks internal control and when me or another teacher tries to bring him back to making good choices (talking to him in a very positve fashion)and being part of the group, he goes wild. He will start running around the classroom, knocking things off the tables, throwing things and hurting his friends. He has caused injury to me and has broken personal tems of mine. We have considered a personality issue however he has exibited the same problems with my co-teacher. He is intimidated by a teacher in another room and responds to her when she comes in and is harsh with him. My concern is that this child starts public school next year and he does not have the tools to control himself. I have given the mother outside resources to contact. Do you have any suggestions for me in the meantime? I feel that the other 19 children are not getting the best of me.
Thank you in advance, Cyndi
Jacklyn Martinez
will try my best to follow your good tips
Thank you for the letter, I have to send that out immediately. I have a behavior sheet on the wall so the child can see her progress! its amazing what a piece of paper with butterflies can do!
Neiki, If you send me your email address, I will email you a copy of what my star chart looks like and a copy of the contract with the daily communication log. I hope it helps you! Thank you for reading my post.
Happy Teaching, Nancy
Do you have a copy of the star chart layout that I could use. I think a written record/communication from school to home for my behaviorally challenged student would be a very good way to monitor his behavior and keep his parents informed.
Eva, I'm glad that you found something you will use. Thanks for reading.
Happy Teaching, Nancy
Be a wall! I love it. My new mantra:)
Hi Sarah, I'm glad you found some good tips to use. Thanks for reading and good luck.
Happy Teaching, Nancy
Hi! Thanks so much for this! I'm an English teacher from a rural school in Malaysia. And behaviorally challenged students is a common problem in my school. A few of the classes I teach has at least 3-5 students who are behaviorally challenged. I would definitely try and resolve some issues based on these tips! Thanks again!
Stephanie, I hope some of these ideas help you. Thanks for your comment.
Happy Teaching, Nancy
Lori, Thanks for reading and commenting! I hope that this post helps other teachers out there as well as parents.
Happy Teaching, Nancy
Some great tips! As a parent of a challenging child the most important thing a teacher can remember is we can't "fix" them but we can help by being consistent and provide a loving well structured environment. That should cover about 7 % of the 10 % the other 3% require help beyond our talent.
good tips and reminders! i think i will use a few of these tomorrow! thanks for sharing!

I'm in that little sad lull now - the excitement of getting a new album is over and it will be years before we hear another peep from him. And in that 3 - 6 years I suppose his voice will probably suffer a bit so maybe this might be the last truly great macca album. We'll see. In fairness he's not an album machine, he's allowed to have a life! I suppose I feel he's never had such a run of strong albums before - apart from a shaky "getting back into gear" with driving rain he hasn't had an in-epic album since 1993. That's pretty amazing.
I was hoping for a raft of B-sides à la CACITB but I think it was wishful thinking... Or a nice interview where he explains ALL the songs, like a lot of his interviews for both CACITB AND MAF..... Anyway he's given us what I think is the most exciting album of his career so I need to shut up and be thankful!

6 Questions to Answer Before Making Early Mortgage Payments
By Roman Shteyn
NEW YORK ( Credit-land.com>) -- Every homeowner looks forward to having a mortgage-burning party. A home loan is usually the largest portion of one's debt burden, and it's a big relief for many when they are free of it.
It provides a great emotional lift, which is why some personal finance experts suggest that you pay off the debt quicker by making an extra mortgage payment or two each year. This way, they say, you could pay off a 30-year mortgage in 22.5 or even 20 years. But is such a step the best option for everyone? How do you know?
Here are a few points to consider:
What is your current interest rate?
Interest rates are at historic lows. While paying off your mortgage in record time might be great for the ego and provide much emotional relief, you might be better served taking that extra payment or two and investing it more aggressively for a better return if you have a competitive mortgage rate. Remember, at the end of day the goal is to save money and make your money work for you -- even if it means paying on your mortgage for a longer period.
What's the value of your home?
If your house is underwater and is projected to remain so for the next several years, you would still have to bring money to the table when you sell the house. Making additional mortgage payments is an excellent idea if the housing market is steady and robust. But if the real estate market where you live is soft, you could be wasting your money.
How long do you plan to stay in your home?
The United States remains a very mobile country, which means a lot of people who take out 30-year mortgages rarely stay for the life of that mortgage. Sometimes it's because things happen -- you lose your job, the neighborhood changes or property taxes soar. But many times it's also by design. So if you plan is to stay for a short while -- say, five or six years -- there's no wisdom in paying down the mortgage unless you've got plans to hold on to it after you move.
What impact will it have on your tax situation?
Lower interest payments or the absence of a mortgage could make it impossible to make some important tax deductions. High interest payments tend to be more prevalent at the beginning of the life of the mortgage. Depending on the size of your mortgage and interest payments you could be looking at tens of thousands of dollars in deductions each year. Losing these deductions could significantly affect your tax returns.
What's the state of your emergency savings account?

Feel the beat: Tony-winning musical heads to Pueblo
The tumultuous — and joyous — scene of the 1950s music world provides a rollicking setting for "Memphis."
WHAT: Broadway Theatre League, 'Memphis'
WHEN: 3 p.m. Sunday
WHERE: Memorial Hall, 1 City Hall Place
TICKETS: $20-$50 at 295-7200 or Sangre de Cristo Arts Center box office, 210 N. Santa Fe Ave.
INFO: broadwaytheatre leaguepueblo.com
The touring production of the Tony Award-winning musical will come to Pueblo Sunday afternoon at Memorial Hall. It's the finale of the 2013-14 Broadway Theatre League season.
Based loosely on the experiences of DJ Dewey Phillips, who was among the first to play black music on the radio, "Memphis" is a story of race, love and most of all, music. Its songs were written by David Bryan, the keyboardist for Bon Jovi.
The show opened on Broadway in 2009 and ran for nearly three years. It's the story of a white DJ who discovers an underground bar where black musicians perform on the weekends. Captivated by what he hears, he starts to play their songs on his radio show, causing an uproar. There's also the matter of his romance with one of the singers he meets at the club.
The songs of "Memphis" tell the tale of the social and musical shifts caused by this integration of music — "The Music of My Soul," "Ain't Nothin' but a Kiss," "Stand Up," "Change Don't Come Easy" and "Everybody Wants to be Black on a Saturday Night."
Show time is 3 p.m. Tickets are $20 to $50. They're available through the Sangre de Cristo Arts and Conference Center box office, 210 N. Santa Fe Ave., or 295-7200.

WASHINGTON -- Superstorm Sandy presented an array of new challenges when it slammed into New York City, from getting relief supplies to people inside skyscrapers to finding affordable housing for displaced residents, a New York congressman said Tuesday.
"Hurricane Sandy should be a major wake-up call," Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler said at a hearing before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. "When disaster strikes, our densely populated urban areas and economic centers must be able to recover quickly."
The Federal Emergency Management Agency isn't positioned to handle a natural disaster in a densely populated urban setting, said Nadler, who represents Lower Manhattan and the Brooklyn waterfront communities of Red Hook, Sea Gate and Coney Island.
He said his office and other volunteers collected and hand-delivered blankets, water and food to stranded residents.
"This is just one example, but I fear it illustrates the particular challenges of an urban setting that our emergency response agencies are ill-equipped to handle, or at least haven't had to contemplate on a scale of this magnitude," he said.
Nadler and Republican Rep. Frank LoBiondo of New Jersey called on Congress to expedite funding not only to help communities recover from Sandy but to safeguard the region against future storms. LoBiondo represents a sprawling southern New Jersey district that includes shoreline from Cape May to Atlantic City.
Sandy destroyed coastal towns, flooded subway tunnels and knocked out power for millions in New York and New Jersey. In Manhattan, no power meant no water, no heat and no elevators to get in and out of high-rise apartment buildings.
"Although FEMA and the National Guard set up distribution centers around the city, in many cases people were unable to leave their apartments to pick up supplies and deliveries didn't make it to every building," Nadler said.
FEMA administrator Craig Fugate told lawmakers at Tuesday's hearing his agency positioned supplies and people in advance of the storm. He said FEMA distributed more than 16 million liters of water, almost 14 million meals and 1.5 million blankets to states hit by Sandy.
More than 1,000 FEMA workers were deployed a day before the storm hit. At the peak of the response effort, more than 17,000 federal workers and 11,000 National Guard members were on the ground assisting, Fugate said.
In New Jersey, high winds and flooding destroyed homes, businesses and beaches along the shore.
LoBiondo warned that the recovery effort will "be a long, challenging road ahead" and urged colleagues to consider the needs of storm-damaged communities when the White House requests a supplemental spending bill to finance recovery efforts.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has said his state will need about $37 billion to recover. He's expected to make his case to the White House and congressional leaders on Thursday.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who was in Washington on Monday to lobby for recovery money, has estimated his state will need $42 billion.
The White House is expected to release its request by the end of the week. It's not expected to be as much as the states are seeking.
Fugate told lawmakers that FEMA's disaster relief fund, which had $7.1 billion when fiscal 2013 began on Oct. 1, had paid out more than $1.93 billion for Sandy relief as of Nov. 26. It had about $4.8 billion remaining and will likely need additional funding by early spring, he said.
Committee Chairman John Mica, a Florida Republican, urged Fugate to find ways to get funding to affected areas faster, with a minimum of red tape. He and other Republicans on the committee called on the Senate to take up a bill passed by the House earlier this year aimed at speeding disaster relief efforts.

Ross Douthat of The New York Times (and plenary speaker at Acton University 2014) talks about diversity and dishonesty, focusing on the recent resignation of Brendan Eich at Mozilla and the decision by Brandeis University to withdraw an honorary degree from human rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Douthat's problem isn't so much that these things happened; it's that those charged with publicly discussing the issues seem so bent on lying.
In both cases, Mozilla and Brandeis, there was a striking difference between the clarity of what had actually happened and the evasiveness of the official responses to the events. Eich stepped down rather than recant his past support for the view that one man and one woman makes a marriage; Hirsi Ali's invitation was withdrawn because of her sweeping criticisms of Islamic culture. But neither the phrase "marriage" nor the word "Islam" appeared in the initial statements Mozilla and Brandeis released.
Instead, the Mozilla statement rambled in the language of inclusion: "Our organizational culture reflects diversity and inclusiveness. … Our culture of openness extends to encouraging staff and community to share their beliefs and opinions. …"

Kate Upton Biography
We all know that supermodel Kate Upton is bold, beautiful and knows how to rock a cover shoot, but here are five things you may not have known about her:
- In April 2013, she was linked to Sean Diddy Combs. According to NYDailyNews.com, she was seen making out with the hip-hop mogul at LIV in Miami Beach on March 24th. She's since been spotted dinning with Diddy in New York City.
- Kate Upton has dipped her toes into the skateboarding industry. Inspired by Jeff Gaudinet's Skate Moss, a series of skateboards that featured the timeless Kate Moss, designers Jason Yim, Edsel Dilag and Chris Vilchez recently launched Skate Upton, a series of skateboard decks that feature the buxom model as the centerpiece.
- Despite her numerous photoshoots, she's well known for her dance moves. Controversial fashion photographer Terry Richardson featured the social media savvy model in a YouTube video titled "Cat Daddy," which showed her in a barely-there bikini dancing a variation of the rap group Rej3ctz's signature dance move. Kate Upton has gained certain notoriety for her dance moves, originally grabbing the public's attention performing Cali Swag District's "Dougie" move in a 2011 YouTube video. Both videos have received well over five million hits.
- Kate Upton first forayed into film in The Three Stooges, playing (bikini-clad of course) a young nun.
- Sports Illustrated's 2014 swimsuit issue featured Kate Upton photographed at Cape Canaveral in a zero-gravity chamber because what's better that Kate Upton in a swimsuit? Kate Upton in a swimsuit in zero. gravity.
Seemingly single, Kate Upton seems to want to stay that way. When persistently questioned about her alleged relationship with New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez and his thoughts on her Sports Illustratedcover, she mischievously responded, "Well, even if I had a boyfriend I wouldn't ask how he felt about it." Not one to be labeled shy, Kate Upton has taken the internet by storm, plastering her Twitter account with seductive photos of herself. She has also taken notable risks in her career, including donning a body paint bikini in Sports Illustrated, which won her Rookie of the Year in 2011, and taking part in a mesmerizing zero-gravity photoshoot for the 2014 Sports Illustrated 50th Anniversary issue — a sight we will not soon be forgetting. Kate is also known for sexy stunts that tend to go viral such as TMZ's leak of her naked on a horse.
Sexy but relatable, she holds appeal for male and women alike. Marilyn Monroe-esque, the blonde beauty brings back a wholesome approach to modeling. To boot, she's a big time sports fan.
The foundation of Kate Upton's success may be undoubtedly credited to her physical attributes, but her happy-go-lucky attitude is equally desirable.
Kate Upton is in her element. With a beauty comparable to that of Jean Harlow, Kate Upton conquered the ranks of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue elite, which has served as a launch pad for the likes of Heidi Klum, Marisa Miller and Brooklyn Decker.
Arriving in the Sports Illustrated scene by way of Dooney & Burke and Guess, Beach Bunny Swimwear and Jenna Leigh lingerie, Kate Upton — like her recent growth spurt — has flown up through the modeling ranks. While she admits to finding the 10-hour plus workdays fatiguing, she's living out every young model's dream, hosting television moguls in her home, entertaining Conan O'Brian and regularly jet setting for international photo shoots.
But Kate Upton is bringing something else to the table, something that the iconic Ivan Bart of IMG models recognized before he signed her, deaf to his colleagues' protests. She's more than a model. She's a model-celebrity, rising through the ranks of YouTube and catalog modeling to become a household name. Kate Upton recognized that the majority of the magazine covers were going to celebrities, but not models. She thought she could do both, and in doing so, has defined herself as a game-changer.
Kate landed a slew of magazine covers in 2013 including the June 2013 Vogue cover and Vanity Fair's 100th anniversary issue in which she was photographed by Annie Leibovitz. This exposure is part of what pushed her to supermodel status and led Elle Magazine to call her "the iconic bombshell of this generation."
Her pinup beauty and playful personality have already brought her into the centerfold of the fashion industry. Paired with the career decisions she's made so far, it's hard not to tip your hat to her cleverness. And to put the cherry on the sundae, Kate Upton is still a good girl, maintaining her closest relationship with her mother.
Born into a political family, Kate Upton is the niece of Michigan congressman Fred Upton. After her family moved to Florida, the future blonde bombshell, previously a five-time equestrian champion, turned her attention to modeling. Like many young women in the Sunshine State, Kate Upton had dreams of being a model, but her lack of height proved a drawback. Consistently the shortest girl in her school class for years, she rocketed up to a height of 5'10" at 15. Fresh off the high of her sudden growth spurt and feeling confident that her natural looks would lend themselves well to the modeling arena, Upton attended an open casting call in Miami for Elite Model Management in 2008. As luck would have it, she was signed by the agency that same day.
Starting her modeling career in Miami after signing with Elite Model Management, Kate Upton eventually made her way up to New York City, where she was signed by top modeling agency IMG. Getting her first big break with Garage, Kate Upton experienced a career surge in 2010. Besides serving as a model for Dooney & Bourke, she was hired by Guess, putting her in the same league as other famous beauties such as Victoria Silvstedt, Megan Ewing and Adriana Lima, who have all worked with the fashion giant. With Guess, Kate Upton celebrated her status as a bona fide model by showcasing her saucier side through a number of lingerie ads for the company in the fall and winter of 2010, which resulted in her face and body flaunted across New York City billboards.
Kate Upton's successful work with Guess led to consistent work with the company and offers from others. With Guess, Kate Upton added to an already vastly expanding portfolio by participating in accessories and handbag campaigns for 2011, while making time for an additional ad series for the brand that was photographed by the legendary photographer Ellen Von Unwerth. Beach Bunny Swimwear took notice, hiring her as the spokeswoman for their swimwear campaign, while Jenna Leigh Lingerie also signed her. Kate Upton's early career highlight, for that matter — came in the form of her participation in the 2011 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. It was a serendipitous turn of events, especially given that she had missed the initial casting for the issue and the magazine had already filled its modeling roster. Nevertheless, she made the cut, donning a tasteful body paint number in the place of an actual swimsuit. Her appearance in the magazine led to an invitation to enter late-night folklore, courtesy of David Letterman, by presenting — alongside 10 models from the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, including Alyssa Miller, Chrissy Teigen and Irina Shayk — the "Top 10 Good Things About Appearing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition" list.
After her 2011 appearance, the red-hot industry beauty became Sport Illustrated's go-to cover girl landing the feature spot four consecutive years in a row from 2011-2014, appearing on the flip-side cover of the 50th Anniversary issue in 2014. Suddenly, every publication was clamoring to have Kate on the cover. Kate has since appeared on the covers of Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, Elle, GQ Esquire and Vogue, who named her the "greatest American supermodel."
Kate has also jumped on the trend of supermodels turning to the silver screen (Tyra Banks in Tropic Thunder, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in 2011's Transformers and Brooklyn Decker in Just Go With It) with her acting debut in the film Tower Heist as Mr. Hightower's Mistress. She followed up with an appearance in The Three Stooges as Sister Bernice and joined the teamed up with Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann in The Other Woman — a film about three woman who discover that they are all dating the same man, and vow to get revenge. The film was not a huge critical success, but the intrigue of seeing Kate Upton in a starring role helped fuel its box office success.
We always knew Kate Upton was America's sweetheart — but the rumors around her dating escapades suggest she's even more all-American than we could have imagined. While Kate's never admitted to officially dating any of these jocks, she was linked to New York Jets quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow earlier this year. She once again made headlines in early July for her very-tiny-bikini-clad GQ cover shoot and accompanying Terry Richardson photo spread, as well as for spending quite a lot of time with one of Major League Baseball's best pitchers, Detroit Tigers player Justin Verlander. She has also been linked to Dancing with the Stars dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy, but again, only linked. Chances are we won't see Kate wearing a promise ring any time soon.
In 2016, she won a place on AskMen's Crush List.

No County Tax Increase? Oh, Wait …
2013 could go down as a banner year for Chautauqua County taxpayers.
Thanks to the Chautauqua County Home, it's not likely to happen.
On Wednesday, County Executive Greg Edwards delivered his 2013 State of the County address. The speech contained an ambitious list of goals for the coming year and news that the county executive may be able to propose a budget with no tax levy increase – provided, of course, the legislature were to sell the Chautauqua County Home. A year with no tax increase would be a wonderful respite for taxpayers who have seen county property taxes increase from $54.893 million in 2009 to $62.947 million in 2013.
Do we think that will happen? Frankly, not anytime soon.
On the bright side, Edwards has some other interesting plans for 2013.
Edwards said the county plans to begin discussions to privatize the county airport in Dunkirk. While federal guidelines attached to prior funding mean the county airport in Jamestown has to remain in existence for at least another 20 years, the Dunkirk airport has no such protection. Edwards said the county plans to market the airport for sale to a private entity, creating funding to improve the Jamestown airport. It is a tough choice – likely to be unpopular in the northern end of the county – but a good choice.
Despite the change in Seneca Nation leadership in the November election, Edwards said construction of an outlet mall on nation-owned land near the state Thruway in Hanover could begin this year. The development could create more than 750 permanent jobs and more than 300 construction jobs. It is a welcome development and a solid payout on the time county officials have spent cultivating a relationship with the Seneca Nation.
Finally, with the land around Chautauqua Lake among the biggest property tax generators in the county, Edwards said the county plans to lead creation of a single sewer district around the lake. There is no cost estimate yet for such a project, but the background work must be done. Chautauqua Lake is too vital to the county economy to drive taxpayers away from lakefront property. Better sewer infrastructure is one way to decrease the nutrient levels that feed lake weeds.
Solid initiatives and a year with no looming budget crisis? It could have been the best news county taxpayers had heard in years.
Of course, it all hinges on selling the county home.

Poverty is a complicated issue. The causes of poverty are not just a matter of material possesions, but so much more. No matter where in the world you look, the causes of poverty are the same: among them, lack of finances, inadequate health care and lack of education are common.
Of all the causes of poverty, though, the most devastating is the lack of hope — a belief that "I don't matter." When a child believes he can never escape his circumstances, he starts believing no one cares about him. This lie keeps him trapped in a generational cycle of poverty.
Each year, millions of children in poverty die before the age of five. Many of the causes of poverty that lead to these deaths are easily preventable, and this is where Compassion comes in. For $38 a month, you can help eliminate many of the causes of poverty. You can offer a child the basic necessities of life, but even better, you can give him hope.
By sponsoring a child you can address the basic causes of poverty - most importantly by showing a child just how valuable and loved he or she is. Sponsor a child today and begin this powerful, life-changing relationship.
As you exchange letters, send photos and offer encouragement in Jesus' name, your love will bring hope to a child that will last a lifetime. Sponsor a child today! Just click on a child's photo to learn more.
Every photo shows a child who urgently needs a sponsor. Which child will you choose to sponsor?

Your tax-deductible contribution of just $38 a month connects a child living in poverty with a loving, church-based Child Sponsorship Program.
Your support provides:
When you sponsor a child, you'll receive your child's photo, personal story and a child sponsorship packet by mail in approximately 10 days.
When children find out they've been sponsored, the joy they feel is indescribable. Just knowing that someone across the globe cares means more than you can imagine. Sponsoring a child in need will profoundly change the future for your child, and will change your own life as well.
In fiscal year 2016, 82.4% of Compassion's expenses went directly to program activities helping children in our programs.

Dutch Oven Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder
Recipe by Paul Kahan
Serves 4
Prep Time: 2 Days
- 3.5 pounds boneless pork shoulder (ask your local butcher to butterfly it so you can rub the center of the pork roast with the rosemary-garlic marinade, and then tie it with kitchen twine)
- Basic meat brine (see recipe)
- Rosemary-garlic marinade (see recipe)
- 2 cups oven-roasted tomatoes (see recipe) or 14.5 ounce can of San Marzano tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 medium onions, large dice
- 4 carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 4 ribs of celery cut into large chunks
- 1 head of garlic cut in half to expose the cloves, unpeeled
- 1 cup white wine
- 2 cups pork or chicken stock
- 1 sprig of rosemary
- 3 tablespoon Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Basic Meat Brine:
- 1 cup kosher salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 gallon of water
- 1 head of garlic, split in half, lengthwise, to expose the cloves
- 2 sprigs rosemary
Dissolve the salt and sugar in warm water, allow to cool completely. Add the other ingredients.
Oven-roasted tomatoes:
- 8 vine-ripe or roma tomatoes cut in half
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons herbs de provence
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, add all ingredients to coat well. Place tomatoes on a cookie sheet, skin-side down, cut side up. Season with salt & pepper. Bake at 400 degrees until the tops are caramelized and tomatoes are tender. Once the tomatoes have cooled, peel the skins off and discard. Chop the roasted tomatoes and store in the refrigerator.
Rosemary-Garlic Marinade:
- 1 head of garlic, peeled
- 6 sprigs of rosemary, leaves only
- 2 tablespoons picked thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons red chile flake
- 2 tablespoons coriander seed
- 2 tablespoons fennel seed
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns
- 4 brown anchovy filets
- 1/2 cup of extra-virgin olive-oil
In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients and blend into a paste.
Day 1:
- Brine the pork shoulder in Basic Meat Brine for 24 hours (see recipe). Weigh it down with a plate and cover. Refrigerate overnight.
- Prepare the Rosemary-Garlic Marinade and store in the refrigerator.
- Oven-roast the tomatoes and store in the refrigerator.
Day 2:
- Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the pork shoulder from the brine. Pat it dry with a clean towel. Rub the pork with the Rosemary-Garlic Marinade. Tightly tie or truss it with kitchen twine. Add 2 tablespoons of canola oil into the bottom of the All-Clad Dutch Oven and then add the onions, carrots, celery and head of garlic. Place the pork shoulder onto the bed of vegetables. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven uncovered for 1 hour and 30 minutes at 375 degrees. After this time, reduce the temperature down to 350 degrees and put the lid on. Set a timer for 2 hours, checking periodically. The roast is cooked through when a paring knife can be easily inserted into the meat and it's fork-tender.
- Once the roast is cooked through, set it onto a cutting board and allow it to rest. Set the Dutch Oven over the stove top and turn the heat onto medium-high. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and allow it to reduce by half the amount of liquid. Add the oven-roasted tomatoes, sprig of rosemary and then add the pork or chicken stock and bring to boil. Reduce the heat down to a simmer for 15 minutes. Season the pan sauce with salt and pepper.
- Carefully remove the butcher's twine and slice the pork shoulder. Serve on a warm platter with the pan sauce spooned over the meat. Garnish with the roasted vegetables and freshly chopped parsley.

When King David successfully brought the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem, he wrote a song of thanksgiving to God, which is recorded in 1 Chronicles 16:7-36.
His first attempt to transport the ark failed miserably because he had not followed God's instructions, but once he corrected his mistakes, God blessed his efforts.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the citizens of my district who have elected me to my fourth term on the Lancaster County Council.
I am honored and take the job you have elected me to do seriously. I am proud to say we have accomplished much over the past 12 years.
During my tenure on County Council, we have worked hard to put policies and procedures in place to protect your tax dollars and receive the very best in services from each county department.
Ten young people participated in the Lancaster District AME Zion churches' 10th annual Oratorical Expose on Sept. 25.
The purpose of the program is to promote youth development in research and speech.
Each contestant was given three topics to choose from to do their research. The topics were:
• Because of the increase in cost for higher education, do you feel a college education is still a good investment today (why or why not)?
• How has reality TV affected the black family and/or the black community?
It is front page news all across the state and indeed nationwide – a white policeman shot an unarmed black man in an incident at a filling station in Columbia. A dashboard camera in the police car captured much of what happen.
The question is – what now?
Will our state erupt as another Ferguson, or will we be different?
Today I had a chance to speak with John Boehner and congratulated Mitch McConnell on becoming the next Senate majority leader," said Barack Obama in the opening of his White House press conference following the Democrats' Nov. 4 massacre. "And I told them both that I look forward to finishing up this Congress's business and then working together for the next two years to advance America's business."
The president is looking forward to "working together to deliver for the American people."
Lancaster County suffers from severe budget problems every year because the tax revenue from its assessed valuation increases by only about $1.8 million per year even if it raises taxes by the maximum amount while its expense budget wants to rise at least $4 million every year.
For many years the county has relied on one-time money to provide the difference. It raised its building permit fees into the clouds and makes several million dollars each year from the sale of building permits.
Earlier this year, Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile asked to meet with Lancaster County Council Chairman Larry McCullough and myself to talk about his concerns, as well as concerns voiced by Indian Land residents about the level of service being provided.
Increasingly, the sheriff's deputies in the Panhandle area find themselves overwhelmed and undermanned by the growth of crime in Indian Land.
United Bible Way Church of Lancaster held its annual Fall Fellowship Family and Friends Day, on Sunday, Oct. 26.
In addition to the morning service and the decoration of 12 tables that were covered with delicious homemade foods, a Day of Remembrance for slain victims of Lancaster County, Soles for Departed Souls Memorial Walk and the observance of Breast Cancer Month by wearing pink T-shirts and presenting guests with pink ribbons were added to the annual activities.
In the fall, tax bills are sent out to county homeowners. Tax bills are normally sent out in early October, but due to some issues, the tax bills were mailed out later than normal. You should have received your tax notice by now.
Even those who are paying into an escrow account as part of their mortgage will receive a bill, so you will know what you are paying in taxes. You are responsible for forwarding this information on to the mortgage company.
Veteran University of South Carolina and Clemson fans each shared in some tough moments over the last week or so, but it had little to do with game results.
It would be more like game of life losses.
Those would be the recent passing of Billy Crenshaw and Johnny Hammond.
Mr. Crenshaw was an avid USC Gamecocks' fan. Johnny Hammond was a Lancaster High football standout going back to the late 1950s. His son Vance was a star athlete at Dorman High School in Spartanburg and later played football at Clemson where he was an All-ACC defensive lineman.

Keep graduation celebrations free of alcohol
It is hard to believe that another school year is drawing to a close. With that, parents and seniors around the area are busy planning graduation parties to celebrate this chapter of their lives. I would ask that everyone take the time to think about what kind of party they want to have for their graduate.
As a parent, we need to be mindful of the examples we are setting for the graduates and other young people that will be attending our parties. Our words speak softly and our actions speak volumes.
A few weeks ago a group of students from Fort Dodge Senior High and St. Edmond High schools wanted to do something to make students think about their actions and the consequences of making poor choices when deciding if they are going to drink and then drive or ride in a vehicle that is driven by someone who has been drinking. Students from both high schools came together and planned a mock alcohol-related accident and funeral service for the mock victims of this accident. These students did not have to plan and put on this assembly. They wanted to because they saw the need to try and get their fellow classmates to think. This assembly allowed students in a safe environment to put themselves in the roles of the different students taking part in this event. They got to see the consequences of poor choices and how many people those choices would effect. The hope of the group was to allow the student body to live through the event without having to experience the events in real life. What an example of character.
We in the law enforcement community worry this time of year that we will get called to an accident scene involving young people from our communities where alcohol is a factor. It is something that all emergency responders carry with them. Here are some facts:
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for all 15- 20-year-olds. In 2010, 1,963 drivers in this age group died in fatal crashes nationwide and an additional 187,000 young drivers were injured in vehicle crashes. when you look at these crashes, alcohol becomes an increasingly significant factor.
In 2010, 30 percent of young drivers ages 15-20 who were killed in crashes had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .01 or higher.
Young males are more likely to be involved in these fatal crashes than females.
Drivers who have been drinking are less likely to use restraints.
In 2010, 56 percent of the young drivers involved in fatal crashes who had been drinking were using their seat belts.
Of the crashes involving young drivers who had been drinking and were killed in the crashes, 71 percent were unrestrained.
In 2011, Iowa had 64 people killed in alcohol related deaths.
Of that number, 54 were age 20 or younger according to data supplied by the Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau.
It is important to think about what could happen if someone leaves your party after they have been drinking alcohol that was provided by you. If they are involved in a crash, your world could and will come crashing down on you. You are going to have to live with guilt that someone you know, a friend of your son or daughter, has been injured or killed as a result of your actions of providing alcohol. Your life is going to change. By providing alcohol to a minor you are contributing to the delinquency of a minor. This violation could result in a serious misdemeanor charge being filed against you which is punishable by a minimum fine of $500 Iowa Code 123.47 (4). If your actions of providing alcohol to a minor results in the death of any person, you could be charged with a Class D felony, Iowa Code 123.47 (6). You could also be held civilly liable under social hosting for intoxicated minors under section 123.47.
As parents, we are the guardians of our communities' greatest assets. We need to make this time of year as safe as we can. That starts with the kind of party we are going to have to celebrate our sons and daughters accomplishments. The consumption of alcohol by our youths is not a "rite of passage" that they will outgrow. The tragic reality is that drinking is dangerous and often deadly for young people. If we continue to view it as such, the passage may be to an emergency room or even the morgue. Traffic crashes continue to be the leading cause of death for our states' young people. If we as parents and as a society continue to turn a blind eye to this problem, how many more young people will be hurt or killed? How many families will be affected? Parents, our students have set the stage. Now it is our turn. It is time that we lead by example. We know that an alcohol-free graduation party is the right thing to do. We owe it to them.

The English Department at Salisbury University offers a variety of Master of Arts and post-baccalaureate opportunities for students wishing to further their study in a variety of fields. The program is large enough to offer high-quality instruction from faculty who are actively engaged in scholarship and publication, while, at the same time, small enough to promote collegiality among M.A. candidates and faculty and to ensure personalized attention as students proceed through their chosen areas of study. In addition, a limited number of Teaching Assistantships which include a stipend and a tuition waiver in exchange for students' teaching three sections each academic year of the English Department's freshman composition and research course.
Students pursuing the M.A. in English include:
Students intending to go on to Ph.D. programs,
Students who expect to teach at the junior or community college level, and
Secondary school teachers seeking to enhance their expertise and credentials.
Graduates of the M.A. in English program have been admitted to Ph.D. programs at such universities as Alabama, Carnegie Mellon, Catholic, Connecticut, George Washington, Marquette, Northeastern, Notre Dame, Purdue, SUNY-Binghamton, University of Maryland–College Park, and the University of North Carolina–Greensboro, typically with assistantships and/or fellowships upon entrance. Other graduates have continued to teach with enhanced knowledge and proficiency at regional K-12 schools; have secured teaching positions in community colleges and universities in the Middle Atlantic region and beyond, including, Chesapeake College, The Community College of Baltimore County, Jamestown Community College (NY), McDaniel College, Wor-Wic Community College and the University of Maryland–Eastern Shore; or have gone on to professional careers such as editing and publishing.
Graduate students in English have full faculty privileges at SU's Blackwell Library, which include generous loan periods and interlibrary access to the entire USM catalog of (University System of Maryland) holdings.
While every graduate student's experience ultimately depends on the energy, dedication and imagination which that student devotes to his or her studies, Salisbury University's M.A. in English program furnishes an environment in which the graduate experience can be intellectually challenging, highly productive and exceptionally rewarding.

How to Play Stickzee (Polish Horseshoes)
by thedayofgames on Nov.30, 2010, under Products
How to Play Stickzee… aka… How to Play Polish Horseshoes.
First off, you'll need a Stickzee set. So get one. Then just follow the instructions:
1 – Disc
2 – Platforms (includes 1 extra part per platform to vary the game height (3 possible heights))
Each platform includes 1 part that has a sharp bottom which can be placed directly into sand if playing at the beach.
2 – Can Coolers (koozie's)
1 – Bottle Opener
0 – Cans or Bottles. This game is BYOB! If you have no target… just use the koozies (placed upside-down on each platform)!
Throw the disc at empty can, bottle, or koozie on top of the platform. Other team tries to catch the disc and can/bottle/koozie.
Stickzee can be played almost anywhere – Beach, Park, Backyard, Alleyway; pretty much any open area. It is not recommended that you use this set indoors, but feel free to play wherever you like. Just stick to the "Basics" and only throw the disc at the platform and can.
If on a beach – Just stick the pipe directly into the ground!
If not, create platform bottom first; then decide how high you want the target.
The lower the target, the harder it is to play!
All plastic pieces should be secured gently.
It's OK if the platform falls over when hit by disc, just pick it up.
Once the platforms are constructed they should be placed approximately 5 to 8 paces apart from one another.
There are various ways to play Stickzee. This is the Day of Games way. Stickzee can be played 1 vs. 1, or Team vs. Team.
1) Place an empty can or bottle on top of each platform. Each team will stand behind their platform.
2) Decide which team will toss first. This first team shall throw the disc at the platform. Try and knock over the target (can or bottle).
3) The disc can hit the target or the platform. Players on defense cannot block the disc in front of the platform (interference!).
4) Defenders should try and catch the disc and the can.
5) Throwers (Offense) must throw a "reasonable" and "catchable" disc. For beginners, not too fast. Throws must be above the defenders knees, below their heads, and within a couple feet of the platform. The game is played to 21 points, win by 2.
STICKZEE SCORING – Play to 21.
Can hits the ground – 2 points for throwing team.
Disc hits the ground – 1 point for throwing team.
Interference by Defense – 2 points for throwing team.
Throw uncatchable throw – No points for disc (if the disc hits the platform too low… you can still score for the can, but not the disc)
How to play beersbee, how to play polish horseshoes, how to play frisbeer, how to play frisnock
It is really that simple. Just throw the disc at the opponents can. Knock it over. Score points. Or, if they just drop the disc, you can score points that way as well. Enjoy!

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 12, 2012) – The U.S. men's beach volleyball team of Jake Gibb and Sean Rosenthal has advanced to Sunday's semifinals of the Beijing Grand Slam, part of the 2012 FIVB Beach Volleyball SWATCH World Tour.
Gibb (Bountiful, Utah) and Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.), ranked 11th, are battling with the U.S. men's team of Mat Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Nick Lucena (Santa Barbara, Calif.) for the second men's berth on the U.S. Olympic beach volleyball team.
Fuerbringer and Lucena, seeded seventh, entered the tournament with a 100-point lead over Gibb and Rosenthal, but were eliminated in the third round on Saturday with a 21-15, 21-17 loss in 36 minutes to third-ranked Reinder Nummerdor and Richard Schuil of Netherlands. In the second round, Fuerbringer and Lucena defeated Brazil's sixth-seeded Pedro Salgado and Marcio Araujo, 21-15, 21-14, in 47 minutes.
Gibb and Rosenthal defeated Germany's Sebastian Dollinger and Stefan Windscheif, ranked 19th, in the second round, 21-19, 16-21, 15-11 in 51 minutes. In the third round, the 2008 U.S. Olympians beat Latvia's 17th-seeded Aleksandrs Samoilous and Ruslans Sorokins, 21-10, 23-21 in 35 minutes.
In Sunday's first semifinal, Gibb and Rosenthal will play Nummerdor and Schuil.
Italy's 14th seeds Nicolai Paolo and Daniele Lupo, who eliminated the U.S. men's beach team of Todd Rogers (Santa Barbara, Calif.) and Phil Dalhausser (Ormond Beach, Fla.) in the first round on Friday, will play Brazil's fifth-ranked Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego in the other semifinal.

""At first I thought flying privately was a luxury and I felt guilty. Then I realized how much more I can do in a week than I would if I had to fly commercially." "
AgustaWestland's AW139
You may be a VIP, but if you've flown on executive helicopters, you've likely had to sit knee-to-knee with other executives on perches better suited for horse jockeys. Even the slick Sikorsky S-76-in production since the 1970s and widely considered the gold standard for corporate rotorcraft-can seem a bit confining with six adult male passengers aboard.
Granted, with enough resources, you can find ways around this problem. Billionaire Ira Rennert, owner of a notorious 39-bathroom Sagaponack, N.Y. manse, splurged for a Sikorsky S-92A Helibus. The $25 millions-plus conveyance seems better suited for heads of state or landing forces than for private individuals. It's capacious, yes, but the rotor wash does a real job on the yard and the noise profile could produce enough work for a large team of lawyers.
So what do you do if you don't want your comings and goings turned into a legal brief but still need a comfortable cabin big enough for seven to eight passengers?
The AgustaWestland AW139 could be your answer. The $14 million (new) medium twin is bigger and more powerful than an S-76 and smaller and less expensive than an S-92. And with a cruising speed of 165 knots, it is faster than both of them. "But wait," I hear you say. "This helicopter is Italian. Granted, they make pretty machines like Ferraris and Lamborghinis, but they know even less about ergonomics than...horse jockeys."
Not so fast. First of all, the stereotype doesn't apply to Italian aircraft. Piaggios are made in Italy and they have some of the biggest cabins in the business. Second, the AW139 isn't a purely Italian design. It began life in 1998 as the AB139, a joint venture by Agusta and U.S.-based Bell Helicopter. The two companies had successfully collaborated for decades, mainly with Agusta building Bells and Bell parts under license. The AB139 was poised to be the first of several joint ventures, including the BA609 civil tiltrotor-new niche machines that were going to generate "category killer" competition against less-capable smaller products and more expensive larger ones, from both Eurocopter and Sikorsky. As a business strategy, it was brilliant.
There was just one little problem: Bell was already married to Boeing on development of the military V-22 "Osprey" tiltrotor, a program mired in technical delays that was rapidly sucking up tens of billions of dollars in development cash. The V-22, currently with a unit price closing in on $90 million (2005 dollars), represented huge money, while the then $8 million AB139 was merely nice money. Huge money won out. Bell bailed on the AB139, directing those resources to the V-22. Agusta took full control, bought Britain's Westland Helicopters and renamed the AB139 the AgustaWestland AW139.
It proved a solid decision. The helicopter first flew in 2001. Deliveries began in 2003 and nearly 400 have since entered service. While originally designed for the parapublic market-police, air ambulance, coastal patrol and offshore-oil support-the AW139 is gaining popularity as an executive transport and more than 60 have been sold in this configuration. Spaciousness is obviously the main reason. The cabin offers 282 cubic feet and is nearly nine feet long, more than seven feet wide and almost five feet tall. That means it's bigger than the cabin on some light business jets and much bigger than the one on the Bell 412 or Sikorsky S-76. The externally accessed baggage hold is 120 cubic feet-three times bigger than the one on a Hawker 800 business jet.
Most of the used AW139s on the market aren't in executive livery, so you may need to find a completion center to transform the one you buy. The Mercaer Aviation Group (MAG), with facilities adjacent to plants in Philadelphia and Italy that make the AW139, has done more than 50 executive and VVIP completions of the helicopter. Costs depend on the materials selected and the amount of engineering and certification required, but the average ranges from $400,000 to $500,000 for an executive completion and $1 million to $1.3 million for a VVIP finish. Completions typically take eight to 20 weeks.
MAG offers executive and VIP customers up to 10 standard interior layouts for the AW139 cabin, accommodating five to 10 passengers, as well as quick-change options that can add or subtract seats or various widths, given varying loads. MAG says the most requested configuration is with eight seats-two VVIP forward-facing chairs and six corporate-class seats, four of which are forward-facing and two of which are aft-facing. However, some ultra-plush layouts feature only five VVIP seats.
Customers can choose from a wide range of cabinetry. The oval credenza option features a pop-up, swiveling flat-screen entertainment monitor. The monument also has storage space for satellite telephones; plug-in devices such as iPods and other MP3 players; and snacks and beverages. MAG uses LED lighting with dimmable controls. Passenger windows can be tinted to various degrees and/or equipped with manual or electrically actuated and controlled window shades. MAG also has developed an integrated, fully customizable in-flight entertainment and cabin-management system that's ideally suited for the AW139. Called the In-Flight Entertainment Enhanced Lounge, it can control audio, video, communications, passenger settings and cabin function.
Another MAG-developed system, called SILENS, minimizes cabin noise and vibration levels and allows normal conversations without use of headsets. During flight tests at 140 knots, the system reduced cabin noise from 76 to 71 dB (speech interference level) SIL4. Replacing the sliding cabin doors with optional hinged doors also will decrease cabin noise. The helicopter's five-blade main rotor design naturally minimizes noise and vibration.
It also helps to reduce pilot fatigue. Thanks to its highly automated cockpit, the AW139 can be flown single pilot. A new rotor-blade ice-protection system introduced last year (and available as an add-on option to older aircraft) facilitates IFR operations in some of the worst weather. AW also now offers a kit that increases the 139's maximum gross weight from 12,800 to 13,600 pounds. Full-seats range is an impressive 460 nautical miles. The AW139 has nearly twice as much shaft horsepower as the Bell 412 and the S-76, giving it impressive high/hot and single-engine capabilities. However, with a main rotor diameter of 45.28 feet, its footprint is actually smaller than the 412's 46 feet and only slightly larger than the S-76's 44 feet. It really is an Italian spacecraft.

Ron Guth: The mintage of the 1898 Liberty Head Nickel dropped to just over 12 million pieces, a significant decline from the previous year, but still a plentiful mintage for the series. Thus, Mint State examples are easy to obtain, even in Gem condition. The finest example is a solitary PCGS MS67.
Most 1898 Nickels feature a full strike, but occasional example will have a few weak stars.
