FAMILY campaigners last night blasted a group for teaching pole dancing to
girls aged SEVEN — and putting pictures of them on the net.
The photos show youngsters upside down on poles dressed in shorts, crop tops
and vests.
Parents must agree before the images are posted on Facebook.
But a spokesman for Christian group the Mothers' Union said: "Children are
being targeted with an activity that's part of a male club culture which
objectifies women.
"We hope parents would consider the negative impact it could have on their
child's perception of their own body and sexuality."
The classes are run by JLN Pole Fitness in Bolton.
Nick Peel, Executive Member for Children's Services on the local council,
warned: "It's a dangerous world on the internet. People need to be aware of
the situation they can be putting children into."
But Jess Leanne Norris, 18, who teaches the youngsters, insisted that "nothing
rude is going on".
She said: "What I teach is pole fitness — nothing else. I've never received
any complaints."
Jess also claimed that the photos on the web were not "inappropriate".
Kate Eaton, 33, whose seven-year-old daughter "loves" the classes, added:
"It's not sexual. I've put pictures on Facebook because she wants people to
see what she can do."
The Sun told in June how girls aged 12 were being taught pole dancing in
Plymouth, Devon, as "gymnastic art".

These seeds can be broadcast evenly in sections of the garden or planted in rows and thinned to 2-3 inches apart. Plant your seeds 1/8-1/4 in. deep.
Keep the soil around these plants moist until the seed has germinated and weed free throughout the growing season. Mulching the soil around the plants will help keep the roots cool.
Mulching the soil around this crop can help protect the plant and keep roots cool and moist. In frost-free zones, this crop can be grow throughout the fall and winter.

Deborah Read Fowler purchased this house in 2013
We love the history and real character of Georgetown and also the location - only a hop, skip and a jump from Denver and Boulder.
We love the mountains and were trying to find a modern house close by - after 5 years of searching, we finally found it and love it!
A brand new home in a very historic, charming town and able to enjoy the lake, the town and the mountains.
We had all we needed to stay in the modern lodge. The house is as described. There were plenty of towels and plenty of room. Read careful as the master bed is not in a room but off to the side of the living room. We had a wonderful time.
We like the open space. The kitchen is nicely equipped. Living room is great for family sitting together and having bonding time. Check in and out instruction is clear and easy to follow.
Very clean, organized, new, cozy and warm house! Great location ! I would highly recommend this house to all my friends!
House was very clean and roomy. The owner spared no expense with decorations and amenities. The owner was quick to respond with any of our needs and was a pleasure to deal with, thanks Deborah!
This place was really nice for my family. We had a group of 15 split up between 3 condos. This condo is where we spent all our evening dinners...I was totally surprised how well 15 fit in this space for meals then trivial pursuit. That was the good... now for the bad... the fridge was a bit small... food for our group was tight, but it all did fit. The grill on the deck was an awesome feature, but it was hard to get it adjusted down really low, it liked to flame-up.
It would have been really nice to have another 1/2 bath down stairs.... but the bath upstairs did work for us and was really nice.
One other thing.. there is a washer and dryer down stairs. (I don't recall there being much in the ad about this)...
Communication with the owner was excellent. The price was fair. The overall experience was excellent.
The pantry was stocked with extras and the wine was a nice touch.... to the owners.... thanks again. David & Vicki Sharum.
We had a wonderful stay in Georgetown at this lodge and I would highly recommend it. We are definitely planning on going back! Thanks for a great stay!
In Georgetown, there is truly something for everyone. For active people - hiking and biking. For snow lovers- sledding, snowshoeing, cross country and downhill ski-in just 12 minutes away.
For the Adventurous - zip lining and rock climbing. For the shopaholics - outlet shopping in Silverthorn 25 minutes up the road. For the foodies - great restaurants, handmade chocolate and candy store and a craft brewery in close by Idaho Springs. For those who want to relax - several hot spring options in the vicinity.
Endless activities for the kids - gold mines, the Georgetown railway loop, parks , swimming, boating etc.
We hope you will enjoy the charm of Georgetown on your doorstep with its deep history and gold/silver mining roots, fabulous olde worlde shops and museums.
You can visit the historic hotel de Paris Museum or Hamil House.
Driving through the Guenella Pass with its breathtaking views is a must.
During the holiday season, you can enjoy the nostalgic Christmas market and tea and ride the train with Santa and Mrs Claus.

Black And White Wedding Cake
Just completed this wedding cake for one of my best friends' weddings. Also was part of the bridal party so it has been a busy week! We had similar taste...we both like things that are classy but still have some originality to it. She really gave me the freedom to sort of run with it creatively and this is what I came up with. Was really happy with how it all came together and can't wait to get the photos from the wedding photographer.

A new Debian and a new Debian leader
The new Debian "Etch" release follows a close Debian Project Leader election. Sam Hocevar surpassed other candidates by only eight votes.
April 8, 2007, Debian Project Secretary Manoj Srivastava announced a winner in the election for a new Project Leader. The choice came as a surprise to many people: Sam Hocevar won the battle. Just a short time later, the tickers displayed a second Debian announcement: The developers announced that Etch was now finished and available as an official release. Hard Fought At about 2am on April 8, Manoj Srivastava published the interim results of the election for a Debian Project Leader (DPL), causing an outcry. Many voters considered Steve McIntyre a hot favorite – after all, he finished a close second to Anthony Towns in last year's election – but the majority of votes went to Sam Hocevar (Figure 1). The graph with the election results, which was published after the shouting died down, might help you understand the complicated DPL election process, which is based on the Condorcet method [1].

Very good
A FlipKey verified reviewer
"Staycation in Long Beach!"
We wanted to escape Los Angeles and this comfy condo in Long Beach is accessible to the beach, downtown, the Pike and the Aquarium. The good: Nice and clean and charming, with a pullout sofa. Well appointed, right down to shampoo and soap in the bathroom. Towels and lots of extra linens for the bed were nice. Even a stocked spice rack in the kitchen! Complimentary WiFi is a bonus and it's nicely decorated. The not so great: No A/C. There is a ceiling fan in the bedroom and a small plug in fan we moved from next to the window over to where our son could feel the air while he slept. It wasn't super hot that week, but if you book during a super hot time, you will not be happy. It was stuffy in there when we arrived The parking is all street parking, but you have to have super good luck to get a spot close by. There are no pets allowed, yet there was a distinct musty odor like cat urine in the small hallway by the bathroom. We had the downstairs unit. If you decide to rent from Aaron, ask for the upstairs unit. SEVEN people were staying upstairs and you could hear every step and voice. It went on until late into the night. It's an older building so you hear EVERYTHING. Our 3 year old LOVED the place. The dining table is bar height and is nice, but be aware if you have little ones that you will need a booster and be watchful they don't try to jump down! What would make it better: There were cleaning supplies and dish soap, but no dishwasher soap or a sponge. There is a trash can, but no recycle bin. You have a lot of great details and supplies. Even extra garbage bags if people are staying longer. Things like a local guide and great places to get take out food, etc would be a nice added personal touch too.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) today announced it has entered into an agreement with DigitalGlobe Inc. (NYSE: DGI), a leading global provider of high-resolution earth imagery solutions, to license its satellite imagery for offline use in Trimble Outdoors mobile apps, allowing outdoor enthusiasts to view and store imagery on their smartphones and tablets. In addition, DigitalGlobe imagery will be available for high-resolution, large-format custom prints at MyTopo.com, a Trimble company. "Our customers use Trimble apps in remote areas where network data coverage doesn't exist. Armed with smartphones loaded with memory, they're increasingly asking for map content to be stored locally on the handset for off-the-grid use. We're excited to enable our customers to cache DigitalGlobe's high-resolution imagery on their smartphones to address these needs," said Mark Harrington, vice president of Trimble. "In addition, providing our MyTopo customers with the ability to create large format print maps with DigitalGlobe's high-resolution imagery allows them to have the convenience of a traditional paper map that matches their handset experience in the field. By partnering with DigitalGlobe, Trimble can significantly enhance the quality of satellite photography available in our products." DigitalGlobe will provide imagery down to a 30-centimeter resolution for the continental U.S. and 50-centimeter resolution globally, effective immediately. The 30-centimeter resolution means one pixel on the image equals 30 centimeters on the ground. "By partnering with Trimble we can showcase how our imagery can be used in new and unique ways for location-based services companies," said Bert Turner, senior vice president of sales at DigitalGlobe. "Outdoor enthusiasts will now have access to DigitalGlobe's vast imagery library—the largest and most up to date of its kind—in order to harness the power of mapping and location intelligence even in the most remote locations." Mobile Apps with DigitalGlobe Imagery Outdoors enthusiasts will be able to use DigitalGlobe's worldwide imagery in five apps:

But perhaps after a deal today, they will be more inclined to head down to the Greenwich rock, pop and entertainments venue.
Trinity College — already one of Britain's biggest landowners — announced it has splashed out £24 million to buy the holding company of the 999-year lease for the Millennium Dome.
The deal means that the college will in effect take a cut of all future box office revenues, as the rent it charges operator Anschutz Entertainment Group is linked directly to ticket sales.
In return for its upfront investment, Trinity can expect to receive annual revenues of £1.6 million (last year's take) and rising.
How much the impact of Michael Jackson's death will have on this year's revenues is yet to be seen.
For AEG, run by US entertainment tycoon Philip Anschutz, nothing will change. AEG has invested £350 million in the Dome since taking it over and has won plaudits for turning Peter Mandelson's great white elephant into London's leading venue.
The deal was welcomed by the current owners of the lease, Quintain and Lend Lease Europe.
Quintain, which owned 49%, received £11.8 million for its share. That means it has exceeded by £3 million its target of selling properties in its portfolio totalling £50 million during the current year to strengthen its balance sheet.
Finance director Rebecca Worthington said: "The strategy we announced last August has not resulted in a total of £152.8 million being repatriated."
Lend Lease and Quintain retain ownership of the huge development land around the Dome which the duo are redeveloping with a mixture of mostly commercial, residential and retail properties. It will include about 25,000 new homes.
Quintain is also redeveloping the area around O2's main rival for large-scale pop concerts, the Wembley Stadium.
Lend Lease chief executive Steve McCann said: "Greenwich Peninsula is one of Lend Lease's flagship urban regeneration projects in the London market.
"Today's sale marks an important milestone in the project and fits with Lend Lease's strategy of recycling its capital to drive the group's return on equity."
The sale price came in about £4 million higher than originally expected when news broke that it was a front-runner in the bidding last month.

Roman Polanski in pole position at Berlin film festival
By Mike Collett-White
BERLIN (Reuters) - Roman Polanski can enjoy a break from sensational headlines about his arrest and misdemeanors and bask in the glow of mostly positive reviews for his latest movie "The Ghost Writer."
The 76-year-old director, under house arrest in his chalet in Gstaad, is among the early frontrunners for prizes at the Berlin film festival this year, although the 10-day competition has yet to reach halfway.
The political thriller based on a novel by Robert Harris is one of 20 movies vying for the Golden Bear for best picture, which Polanski won in 1966 for "Cul-de-Sac."
The fact that it is among the favorites is remarkable given that post-production was completed while Polanski was in a Swiss prison and, later, under house arrest.
"With this immensely enjoyable, satisfyingly convoluted thriller he demonstrates exactly why he is still a force to be reckoned with," Wendy Ide wrote in the Times newspaper.
"From the opening scene it is clear Polanski had complete control, whether or not he was behind bars when he finished it."
The United States is seeking to extradite Polanski to face justice after he fled the country in 1978 on the eve of his formal sentencing for unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Peter Bradshaw of the Guardian said: "This is his most purely enjoyable picture for years, a Hitchcockian nightmare with a persistent, stomach-turning sense of disquiet, brought off with confidence and dash." Continued...

Chapter Seven - Lillian
"They can't do that, I mean you won't co-operate. Why would the others," I said, going against Azazel rule and grabbing his arms. He didn't pull away and instead took my hand.
"I'm one person with my own morales. Maybe two or three will share them. But I imagine the majority would more than enjoy the regimes the witches imagine," Azazel said. I felt my legs give out as I tried to breath. They couldn't do this, it's too insane. Enslave humanity and raise the demons for that purpose.
"How would they guarantee control over the demons?" I asked.
"Magic as a final resort. But as long as they allowed them to kill every once in a while they would be content," he said, refusing to meet my gaze. Something about the action made my heart stutter and I had no choice but to ask.
"Would you let them use you like that?" Azazel studied me carefully before replying, choosing his words carefully.
"If I didn't, they would force me too. The only way to guarantee freedom would be to leave. But I doubt all the humans will follow. You could stay, being a witch, you can have a nice life. Then when you have control over what abilities you have, you can fight back from the inside. And I would from the outside," Azazel said. I shook my head.
"And how would you get by? You need blood," I pointed out. He shrugged.
"I would find a way..." He trailed off.
"No, I have a plan," I said and stood up. I opened the cabinet under the computer and pulled out the recorder. Azazel gave it a confused glance so I explained what it would do. I explained how I could hack the whole system. That we could broadcast a message to every level. It took some convincing, but he agreed.

Kūkulu Alaka'i 'Iolani
The mission of Kūkulu Alaka'i 'Iolani ("The Creation of Leaders") is to raise life outcomes of under-resourced students through a comprehensive longterm program that provides educational opportunities, critical life skills, and individualized support from middle school through postsecondary education.
The KA'I Program began in 2010 as a public-private school partnership between 'Iolani School and Jarrett Middle School in Palolo Valley. This partnership has since grown to include the high schools in which KA'I students enroll.
Long-Term Achievement
Once accepted into the KA'I Program, students commit to daily summer attendance from 7th Grade through 12th grade for six consecutive summers.
Each year, a new group of rising 7th grade students from Jarrett Middle School joins the Growing 'ohana of KA'I students and graduates.
Young 'Iolani alumni as well as KA'I seniors and graduates serve as student mentors throughout the summer and school year.
Postsecondary Support
The KA'I Program recently expanded to support students into and through appropriately-matched postsecondary pathways, including college, community college and vocational training.
* Nearly 90% of our students will be the first in their family to graduate from high school or college.
The KA'I Program fosters a culture of achievement that supports students to:
- Graduate from high school
- Become leaders within their school community
- Pursue pathways of success and higher education in an area of personal passion
- Contribute towards the betterment of their local community
The KA'I Program addresses the "summer slide" and resulting achievement gap that occurs during the summer for low-income youth by providing these students the opportunity to attend a high-quality program each summer for six summers from sixth to 12th grade, without any cost to the family. Across the country, programs such as KA'I have been shown to stem the achievement gap, resulting in highly improved high school graduation and college matriculation rates for participants.
"The KA'I Program has left a huge impact on my life by opening many doors for me educationally. I feel that the KA'I Program has given me more than just and education but another family. The program has also given me great life lessons that could never be learned in a regular classroom. I am forever grateful that I was put in the KA'I Program and I love everyone in it." -- Sonny
'It makes me look forward to summer every year. It has created a family within our group and we get closer every summer. I enjoy coming every day and I have never missed any day. I wouldn't be the same without KA'I." -- Eugene
"Without KA'I, I never would have had the amazing opportunities I have had. I've met new people who started as friends, but became more like family. KA'I has made my life way brighter. It taught me to be a better influence on younger kids and to be a better role model for myself. KA'I changed my life in a good way. It gave me more opportunities to see my best friends that now go to other schools. I am thankful to be a part of this program." -- Tina
"KA'I has given me such great opportunities that even though this program is in the summer, I look forward to it every single year. It really helped me with transitioning from a small school to a bigger school. It also helped me to develop skills like public speaking. This program has allowed me to gain confidence in myself and build leadership skills. It has given me a group of great friends that I love like family. This program is really a blessing in my life." -- Terese
"All I can say is that KA'I has really changed me inside and out. In other words, I am better academically in school and out. I also have become a better leader to me and those I surround myself with. I truly believe that KA'I is the best opportunity that was ever given to me and I appreciate that. Thanks to all the teachers and mentors that have supported me through this program. KA'I is awesome! I Love it!" -- Brooklyn
KA'I would like to recognize and extend a heartfelt 'Thank You' to it's amazing program sponsors:

- The McInerny Foundation
- Bank of Hawai'i Foundation

Wilhelmina Ariana Montgomery 1
Wilhelmina Ariana Montgomery
williegirl13's blog: August 8, 2613 9:34 a.m.
Topic: 18 Fast Approaching
My name is Wilhelmina Ariana Montgomery. Call me Willie. No, I'm not afraid to tell you my full name. In my opinion, all this identity-security stuff is bogus. Instead of being afraid of stupid, worthless things like that, I'm afraid of my 18th birthday.
Sure, I'll be an adult, but the test is forever drawing nearer. I'm 17. My birthday is in 11 days. What does this test consist of? What happens if you pass? More importantly, what happens if you don't?
All of my friends think that this test is the best thing the royals, the Coriansens, can offer us. Please, reply if you know anything about it.
I tap my ear and the computer screen before me, made completely of thin air, vanishes. My brother Philip also finishes a blog entry. "What's for breakfast?" he yawns.
"Whatever you can find," I reply, punching him lightly on the arm. "The kitchen will make you something. Get me a cinnamon roll, will you? With icing."
Grumbling, he stalks off.
I sit down between the quarrelling twins, Ray and Max, and try to pay attention to the telewindow, also known as the TW. They lean over me, looking as if they're about to start a fistfight. I turn to the one on my right and tell him sternly, "Raymond, stop."
"I'm Ray!" shrieks the twin on my left.
A sigh escapes me. "Stupid identical-twin genes. Look, both of you – Maximillian, Raymond, whoever you are – stop. Now."
"Or what?" the twin to my right taunts.
"Or you won't have your blog for the rest of the week. Now, which one of you is Maximillian?"
"Me!" they say at the same time.
I grab them by their hair. "A month unless you tell me now." I don't add that in less than two weeks I'll be gone.
They seem to realize this already. "I'm Max," the left-hand one says meekly.
I release them. "You'd better be."
Suddenly the television-window's scene changes, and I freeze where I am. It's an advertisement for an old movie – one with cows. "Turn off the TW."
Philip comes in now and tosses me a bag while munching on a muffin. He takes in the scene quickly – me, a statue on the sofa; Ray and Max, taking advantage of my nonresponsive state; and a telewindow proudly displaying black-and-white cows with big, sad eyes. He notices the bag land, untouched, by my feet, only seconds before the twins converge on it. Quickly, Philip tap the screen of the telewindow and it becomes a transparent sheet of glass. "You okay, Willie?"
I nod.
"You're afraid of a cow?" Max guffaws through a mouthful of my cinnamon roll.
"Wilhelmina's afraid of cows!" Ray screams with laughter.
"I most certainly am not," I lie with as much dignity as I can muster. "And don't call me Wilhelmina."
"You call us Maximillian and Raymond, and we don't like that," one says. I've already lost track of which one is which.
"Wilhelmina, Wilhelmina, Wilhelmina!" the other chants, his brother soon joining in.
"Guys, I…I'm not going to be here in eleven days," I say, gulping back tears as I quickly check the blog post. No replies yet. "Do you really want your last words to me before I leave to be a jibe?"
They both shake their heads vigorously.
I smile sadly, tousling their hair as I head to the kitchen. "I'll be right back. I need some breakfast – since you two little devils stole mine."
They look regretfully at the icing coating their hands as I check the blog again. Still nothing.
"What would you like to eat?" the oven asks me.
"Cinnamon bun. Please."
The oven whirs into life, its light flicking on as it heats the dough with super-speed. Within two minutes a hot bun is on a plate before me. I eagerly bite off a chunk and look at the blog once more. This time, I nearly drop my breakfast.
Someone has sent a reply.

Ripoff Report
United readers service'1209 hillside gardens lane Gainesville, Georgia USA
United readers service' My account was set I thought for magazines and I misunderstood (I am 77 years old) and now it appears I m in debt I am locked in for 30 months payments of 39.90 = 1197.00 Gainesville Georgia
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.

Is there any possibility of me getting out of this mess. They have my visa number and have already charged me for the first month's bill of 39.90 and I still will owe 29 more months at this rate.
do I need to call my vista account company and stop these charges. Or am I locked in for these charges for magazine. I guess I just fell for what I thought was a good thing. 1197.00 dollars is an awful lot for magazines for a 77 year old lady.

Cancelling subscriptions!
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, July 05, 2016POSTED: Tuesday, July 05, 2016
If you are locked into a subscription term, FIRST try calling to say you badly need to cancel these payments, and give reasons. They will probably say they will cancel if you pay a certain amount "because the subscriptions are already started". The amount will probably be at least one half of the total, maybe a little more. Even half is too much, but is a last resort.
SECOND if you cannot get them on the phone (they should have given a customer service number, but they may not answer or respond to you), then stop payment on your card. They will be calling you then, at which time you go to option one. And really give them reasons and accuse them of deception, because theyARE deceiving people.
Good luck! This has worked for me twice.

During a budget debate last week, Senate President Susan Wagle offered an amendment that would cut K-12 budgets by $68 million. She argued students would not be impacted because school boards would have to cut "non-classroom" expenses. This is not true.
The Kansas Supreme Court's most recent school finance ruling makes it clear that all cuts to schools reduce student achievement, especially when they eliminate teachers and support staff.

Wauwatosa's version of a resale ordinance that is being pushed by police departments across the state will be back in committee for more discussion next week, as aldermen consider what the rules will mean to resellers in the city.
"We're still in the deliberation stage on this," said Linda Nikcevich, an alderman and member of the Community Development Committee.
A similar ordinance raised such a ruckus among resale operators in Greenfield last year that the city rescinded it. Greenfield's ordinance would have imposed transaction fees on all resellers in that city, including clothing shops and bookstores. The ordinance also required stores to photograph customers who sell items and to report their names and their items to the police department daily.
The impetus for the ordinances is a software program developed by a Green Bay police officer. Police departments want stores to use the software, called the Northeastern Wisconsin Property Reporting System, so that police can easily check for stolen merchandise that might have been sold at a resale store or a jeweler that buys used items.
Milwaukee and West Allis have less restrictive versions of the ordinance that was repealed in Greenfield.
As discussed last week by the Wauwatosa committee, that city's ordinance would not require resellers to pay fees on transactions, and it would exclude clothing resale shops and any stores that sell items on consignment.
But it would include used-book stores and stores such as Game Stop at Mayfair mall that buy and sell used DVDs and video games. The ordinance would require reports any time the stores paid at least $20 to a customer for used merchandise.
The ordinance also includes sporting goods, tools and recreation equipment, as well as musical instruments.
"I'm OK about it," said Deb Kruse, owner of U-turn Consignment, a clothing resale shop on W. North Ave. As it stands now, her shop wouldn't be affected by the ordinance.
Joe Desch, district manager for Half Price Books, spoke against the proposed ordinance at the committee meeting in Wauwatosa last week. Half Price was a leader of the opposition in Greenfield, where the company operates a store.
"Since we currently have no retail operations in Wauwatosa our concern in this matter is the precedent it sets," Desch said in an email to the Journal Sentinel. "It is obvious that there is cooperation between the police departments of different cities in attempting to change these ordinances to mandate the use of electronic reporting, so I feel it's necessary to offer alternatives and critiques of each of these. Half Price Books would prefer to see these ordinances dealt with on a state level in order to eliminate the 'patchwork' of local ordinances, which makes doing business in multiple municipalities very difficult."
During the Greenfield controversy, Desch said a requirement that incoming merchandise be held off the sales floor would make it impossible to operate a store there. He also raised First Amendment concerns about the requirement to report the names of books sold by customers.

GREENWOOD, IN – Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology's Sutton Coleman (Lebanon, Va./H.S.) and Defiance College's Tom Postema (Defiance, Ohio/Tinora) have been named 2012 Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year and Field Athlete of the Year, respectively. Coleman helped the Engineers to their fifth-straight HCAC Men's Outdoor Track & Field Championship, while Postema led the Yellow Jackets to a second place finish on April 28 at Franklin College.
Coleman, a senior for the Engineers, won the 110-meter and 400-meter hurdles at the 2012 HCAC Championships. The Lebanon, Virginia native was also a member of the Engineer 4 X 400-meter relay team that captured first place at the meet. Coleman finishes his career with 14 individual or relay HCAC outdoor championships. He earned four conference titles each in the 110-hurdles, 400-hurdles and as the anchor leg of the team's 4 X 400 meter relay.
Postema, a junior for the Jackets, won two field events at the championship. He had a winning mark of 54.68 meters in the hammer throw, while also claiming the title in the discus. The junior won the discus with a HCAC-record mark of 54.96 meters. Postema also placed second in the shot put with a heave of 15.26 meters.
Also receiving recognition for his efforts at the meet is Defiance freshman Reggie Neal (Deltona, Fla./H.S.), receiving the 2012 HCAC Outdoor Track & Field Freshman Athlete of the Year. Neal earned the conference title in the triple jump with a leap of 14.07 meters.
Rose-Hulman's Larry Cole was named the HCAC Coach of the Year after leading the Engineers to the school's fifth-straight HCAC Men's Outdoor Track & Field team title. Cole, in his ninth season as Rose-Hulman's head coach, saw his squad garner 208 points to win the championship.

A young man takes the law into his own hands to relieve himself of past memories. In the end, does vengeance or mercy have the final say?
Cast: Alex Macnicoll, Kenny Billings, Jon Tyler Ford, Kurtis Anton

He asks him, later. As Alice looks around what is left of this proud empire, he corners the knight, more interested than offended.
"You called me a vessel. What did you mean, exactly?" The knight eyes him for a moment, a strange look in his eye.
"Vassal," he proclaims, as if reciting definition from memory. "A person who swears their allegiance to a higher authority in exchange for protection or land. In your case, however," and here he shoots him that look again, "I doubt your interests are protection or land in the.. conventional sense." A sniff of disdain, and Hatter realises just what kind of 'land' Alice is in possession of.
"Oh, woah woah woah, hey there!" He holds his hands up defensively. "Nothin' like that, Charlie-boy, I swear!" Another sniff from the knight. "I'm just.. here to see the lady safe and back on her merry way to her world."
"And you demand.. no reward at all?"
"Well.." And here he stops and thinks, really thinks, about leaving Wonderland. In the echoes of this place, the embodiment of what was once great and good in their world, he feels the anguish of one hundred and fifty years of wrongness and suddenly wants to cry. Which is pitiful enough. The words become true the minute he speaks them, as a lifetime of serving both sides crumbles beneath the weight of this revelation. "I just.. want a way to win."

Unwanted Flashbacks
I woke up in a pig den, I was filthy and smelly and the pigs treated me as their king. I quickly dashed off to the woods where there was a stream and cannonballed into it. I sung and swam around, having a merry old time whilst getting clean until I got out and lied down on the bank, dipping my feet in the cool refreshing water.
I could have just stayed there being lazy for the rest of my days, but I knew I'd just get bored of that eventually. I stood up and ventured back to the village where I saw the motley crew venturing out of it. They were leaving without me! And they had Brana!
I followed them but kept my distance; if they didn't allow me to join them then I'll just travel in the same direction as them! It's not as if they could stop me! Trying to come up with a way to keep on following them without joining them may have been a problem, I knew as soon as I showed my face Idiot would try to rip it off. Prince Prick seemed to ignore me when I said I knew where to find the stone, and was very content leading them in the wrong direction. Hell where was he going?
About half way down the mountain they stopped for food. Now this is where I noticed I was still a bit peckish from starving myself for five weeks, so once again I followed my stomach towards the sweet smell of stew. In my mouth watering moment I forgot to remain in stealth and the Sievere called Yara noticed me, no point in hiding now so I stepped out and kept my eyes fixated on the stew, much to the moans and groans of the whole group.
"Right, who wants to give me some food? I'm starving!" I said patting my stomach. The women rolled their eyes and ignored me, but the men were angry, especially Idiot. That was funny! They leapt up and drew their weapons ready for a fight, I however was not in the mood for fighting, I had a grand total of two battles over the last few days, that was two more than my monthly quota allowed!
"Why do you follow us Valenstar?" Destran asked, while Zahkon bared his teeth.
"Why not? It's not as if I have anything better to do" I said laughing and walking towards them.
Idiot mistook my walking as a sign of aggression and fired an arrow which hit me in the shoulder, and bugger me that hurt! I pulled it out of me and watched their faces as they saw my shoulder heal up.
"Oww! What was that for?! That bloody hurt you Idiot!" I yelled at him whilst continuing to walk and sit down by the stew.
Everybody darted away and they all generally seemed to be prepared to fight. I rolled my head and waved my arms. "Look everyone; if I wanted to fight I would have beaten you all by now. I'm not here to fight, I'm here to eat! Now what's cooking?" I asked boastfully.
Nobody lowered their guard and Destran stepped forward pointing his sword at me. "You are not welcome here Valenstar, I thought I made that perfectly clear?" He said with a commanding tone that made me want to punch him.
I stifled the feeling and simply put my feet up and laid back. "Yeah you did, but guess what? I don't care! This is a free world Prince Prick; I can go where I want! And if I want to follow you guys, well guess what? You can't stop me! BAH HA!" I laughed at him.
Immediately I felt another arrow enter my back, I yelped in pain and yanked it out, turning to Idiot rather annoyed. "Can you please stop that?! That is quite painful!" I yelled at him.
Idiot lowered his bow when he realised he wasn't doing anything, the rest looked at each other with confusion and worry. Nobody knew what to do to get rid of me, it seems that they were just figuring out I was here to stay! The first one to sit back down was Brena, who looked at me inquisitively.
"Guys, I'm not sure if my opinion is worth anything here, but I don't think he's dangerous and he has a point. If he wanted to attack us he would have done so by now" Brena said to the group after deducing I wasn't here for hostile intentions.
"No Destran! He tried to kill Lyra! There is no way we can have him here!" Yara implored to Prince Prick.
"Uh… no I didn't" I butted in.
"Yes you did!" she said, her eyes turning black. Oh boy time for a game!
"Oh no I didn't!" I said laughing.
"Oh yes you did!" Yara said yelling.
"Oh no I didn't!" I chanted.
"Yes you did!" Lyra came in stomping her foot.
"He said something about wanting to see how powerful Zahkon is, so he pretended to try and kill you" Prince Prick said.
"Liar!" Idiot yelled.
"Look, I don't wanna fight right now. I just want to eat" I said rather slowly, treating them as though they were brain dead.
"Leave now Valenstar, or we will force battle upon you!" Prince Prick demanded.
"What good would that do? You guys can't stop me! BAH HA!" I mocked them.
"Can we all please stop!?" Brana said getting to her feet again. "I vouch for him, I promise you he won't do anything at all so can we please just stop!?"
Everybody looked at her and then too me, they seemed to trust Brana's word so they lowered their weapons and took their seats again, albeit a ways away from me. We sat in relative silence until Prince Prick turned to Brana. "How can you be so sure about him? What if he just knifes us in the back when we're sleeping?" He questioned her.
"I don't see evil in him, I see an annoying idiot, but not an evil murderer" she answered truthfully.
I'm not a murderer? I told her I was. I said I had killed so many people… could it be she didn't believe me…? Or is it that she is trying to get them to trust me? If they knew what I said to her there would be no way they could accept having me around. What did she gain out of this? I shook the thoughts from my head and spoke up.
"Plus I told you I knew where to find the stone didn't I?" I said quite proudly.
"I told you to stop lying Valenstar!" Prince Prick yelled.
"I'm not lying! Seriously I know where to find them!" I defended myself.
Prince Prick became flustered and threw his map at me. "Fine! Why don't you point to me where it is if you're so knowledgeable?!" He yelled at me.
I looked at the map and saw where we were, in the mountains north of the forest of Garnee. I picked up an eating knife beside me and poked several holes into the map. One in the sea south of the Isle of Prayer and west of Castle Hava, a second in the Forest of Illumini, a third in the Lost Marshes, and a fourth in the Forest of Garnee. I chucked the map back to him and he looked at it with confusion before looking back to me.
"What's this supposed to mean? I thought you said you knew where it was!?" He yelled.
"I do, it's in one of those areas. I know that for sure!" I said happily.
Prince Prick looked like he didn't know whether to hit me or call me a liar or even thank me. He kept his eye on the map and looked at the holes I poked at it. Yara went over to him and looked at the map herself before looking at him, then to me (I gave her a wink) and then to the rest of the group, she was silent for a long time until she asked a question that Prince Prick didn't know how to answer now.
"Can we trust him?"
The guard burst into flames and he screamed in agony until he fell down and turned to ashes. I watched him and couldn't help but feel a little intimidated at the power of Sethos, but also a little intrigued. I hoped he could use that power on me one day; he'd definitely be able to kill me.
"Don't question my decisions. Ever" Sethos said with his head in the darkness, I couldn't see his facial features well. But I could see his daughter Desdemonda at the foot of his throne, playing with a doll of what strangely looked like me.
She noticed me walk into the throne room just as the guard burst into flames and gave me a seductive wink and wave. I felt very uncomfortable, she was taking this infatuation thing too far, and all I wanted to do was annoy her to get her dad to kill me. Sethos noticed me and gestured me towards him, I walked forward and noticed a short, ugly looking thing with long black hair all over the place. It turned to me and I saw yellow fanged teeth and completely black eyes. He was very familiar.
"Ah Jack, welcome back. Did you find what I was looking for?" Sethos asked quietly.
"Maybe I did, Maybe I didn't. I'm sure if me and your sexy daughter there could have a few rounds in the bedroom my tongue would loosen up" I tried to antagonize him.
Desdemonda looked up at her father with a look of want. Clearly she wanted nothing more than what I had suggested, even though I only said it to make him angry. Sethos merely chuckled, "Silly boy, don't think me easy to taunt. I won't do anything to you until you complete my task."
"Oh but HE gets special treatment?!" I asked pointing to the ashes that was the guard.
"He questioned my authority." Sethos said calmly.
"Well I'm questioning it! What did he do? I'll do it ten times worse!" I yelled. Desdemonda gave a pleasured moan after hearing me bad mouth her father.
"The peon believed the people I hire are of a less the reputable nature, and not worthy to serve me" Sethos said whilst making a passing gesture at the creature who was watching me intently.
Now that I thought about it, he was definitely a Vaan, but there was something about this Vaan that peaked my interest until eventually I recognised him and turned to Sethos again. "So you have former Vaan Generals in your employment now? My how your standards have fallen!" I mocked him.
"I'm glad you recognise General Valak, weren't you meant to kill him at one point?" Sethos said with a hint of glee in his calm voice.
The Vaan growled at me and I flipped him off which made him pull out a double bladed spear and he was just about to attack me. Sethos waved his hand and the spear went flying from his hands. "Now now General. I have a special mission for him you see Jack, I'm glad you came here when you did."
"What mission is that? Find him a beauty therapist? BAH HA!" I laughed at them.
"He's going to help you find the stone."
I need a doctor, I keep on having unwanted flashbacks.

Guwahati, May 31 (UNI) After relenting to extremists' demands for long, the banking sector in North East today aired openly the threat to life and extortions it is facing in the region.
''Our employees are constantly under the threat of militants, who also extort money regularly from them,'' the SBI officers' associations said at a joint press conference here.
General secretary of the SBI officers body KP Deb said SBI employees in Manipur, Nagaland and Assam's North Cachar Hills district were shelling out lakhs of rupees per month to the extremists.
''They are constantly living in fear of their lives and hence our performance has also been affected due to this mental strain,'' he added.
Moreover, SBI staff from other parts of the country quit jobs fearing transfer to NE, resulting in a massive staff crunch, Mr Deb said.
The SBI officers' associations demanded more security for its employees from the state government, especially in the vulnerable areas.

About the Owner
About Jill Robson
We currently live in Wiltshire England and try and get over to the apartment at least twice a year. We bought the apartment so we could use ourselves and also rent it out when we are not. Most of our family have been out and love the place as much as we do. .
Jill Robson purchased this apartment in 2008
Why Jill Robson chose Vibo Valentia
Why did we buy? The views are fantastic, the beaches are clean and we love the local fish. The fishermen go out early morning and bring the fish back to sell to the restaurants for the evening. From the apartment if you get up early enough you can see these fishing boats catching there fish. We love it.
What makes this apartment unique
The view is unique no other complex in the area will offer you views like these.
Guestbook comments from the owner
The Marasusa is above a montain that overlook all Tropea coast. Safe because of all gates with electronic key, noiseless and with a lot of confort: swimming pool, jacuzzi and bar.
But the best is having a breakfast looking at panorama.

Another holiday in Paradise
This was our third stay at the property at Marasusa, and we enjoyed it as much as we always have. It was our first time in the height of summer and yet it still didn't feel crowded as it can at other complexes. We enjoyed a number of new trips out, and went up Etna having spent a night in a hotel on it, as well as finding the glass fountain and cable car at Gambria. The weather was amazing.
The property was as clean and well maintained as always and the communication from the owner was clear and timely.
I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking to get away from it all while still being close enough to a town to have meals out and chops close by.
what a beautiful setting
We had a nice stay here, its very peaceful and the setting is unique, with a marvelous view over tropea. The appartement is fully equipped and modern and tropea a beautiful town with very pretty beaches. Meeting up and key hand over uncomplicated and convenient. Very recommendable!

From the apartment if you get up early enough you can see these fishing boats catching there fish. We love it."
Activity and Interests
Calabria is situated at the toe of Italy's foot, very popular with Italian and German tourists. The area offers many picturesque villages with excellent beaches to enjoy around the Tyrrhenian Sea.
• Visit Isole Eolie or Volcanic island of Stromboli by boat from Tropea marina.
• Scuba Diving and fishing trips available in Tropea.
• Golf course 30 min drive.
The nearest town is Tropea which easily wins the contest for prettiest town on the Calabria Tyrrhenian coast, with its narrow streets and beautiful historic buildings, or just stroll down to one of the many beaches that surround Tropea and enjoy the beautiful turquoise clear seas. You could hire a pedalo or learn to scuba divie at one of the local schools..
Parghelia has its own beautiful white sandy beaches or you could just chill out in the local coffee/ice cream shops and sample their lovely cakes/ ice creams.
In Parghelia you can enjoy a meal in the local restaurants and bar too.
There is a coastal train that stops at Parghelia on its journey around the coast line a great way to see Calabria at a low price.
