If the allegations by former booster Nevin Shapiro are true, Miami will be facing some serious penalties from the NCAA. But even though the case could rival some of the biggest scandals in college sports, the Hurricanes may not face the strictest penalties.
NCAA vice president of enforcement Julie Roe Lach told The New York Times that using the death penalty or television ban is something the organization hasn't discussed using.
"I have not heard it turn much to television bans or the death penalty," Roe Lach said. "The majority of the ideas or support I keep hearing relate toward suspensions or postseason bans being the most powerful."
While she was not speaking directly about the Miami case, her point underscores how punishments have changed since the 1980s when SMU was given the death penalty in football and Oklahoma, Maryland and Oklahoma State were among the schools banned from television in either football or men's basketball.
"There isn't a public outcry to do something about a system that is so terribly broken," J. Brent Clark, a former NCAA investigator who is now a lawyer in Oklahoma City, told The Times. "The game is too popular and the money is too big."
If the current trend holds true, it means the likely penalties for Miami if found guilty would be something that resembles the two-year postseason ban and loss of 30 scholarships that USC received in the Reggie Bush case.
While seemingly lighter, those sanctions are significant because it sets the school back several years by limiting the overall talent and depth in the program.
But the team still plays, which means no impact for the school and league with regard to television revenue.

Ireland's economy has been booming for several years now and even the effects of the global credit crunch have failed to put a serious dampener on its growth.
In terms of deals 2007 was stronger than ever, with record numbers of M&A deals completing. Over the course of the year court-approved schemes of arrangement emerged as the preferred way to buy Irish-listed companies, representing a departure from the comfort zone of conventional takeovers.
Despite the country's strength, Ireland has not been immune to the general downturn in global markets and lawyers have been looking at methods such as examinership, introduced in the 1990 Companies Act, as a means of helping clients avoid formal insolvency.
This special report examines the Irish M&A market in greater depth and also offers an insight into recruitment problems and opportunities faced by law firms in both Northern Ireland and the Republic.

In the old farm complex of Il Castel - a group of buildings around a common courtyard - there are today three other dwellings. But everything is very calm and quiet. In the vicinity there are other other isolated houses, mainly of people who work in the fields and look after the vineyards of the Valpolicella.

Taurus & Saggitarius: Right in the next room
I couldn't sleep, my mind couldn't process the fact that Arch was only sleeping in the room next door....... Right in the next room.
My heart was pouding and I felt really warm. Gosh, this heating was over the top. I lay silently and hear her light breathing. So soft so...... Then Aaron loud snores disturb the night anf I can't help but begin to laugh.
Well, that was great timing. I sigh and lie back looking up at the ceiling. Arch..... When I first heard her name I thought it was short for something... Not Archer something different but I surpose it isn't.
The suns rays were filtered through the curtain and I streached to get the tiredness out of my muscles.
Last night I had hardly slept. I sit up and wince at a pain on the back of my skull. I hear a knock at the door.
"Come in" I call. Thorn steps in.
"Are you okay?" he ask.
"No" I groan gripping the back of my skull. Then my eyes go wide.
"What happened to Cassie yesterday?" I ask looking over at him.
"Um, she left to take a call then....... I don't know she didn't come back in" he says shrugging.
I form some clothes and throw them at him.
"Go and get dressed you and me need to check on her" I say jumping out of bed. He nods and leaves and I change into a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt.
I run out into the hallway where Thorn wait's silently.
Gosh, I hope Cassie's alright and this is just my imagination.

Rhodia Classic Side Staplebound Notebook - Orange, Graph (2.95 x 4.72) is rated out of 5 by 14.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mitchell Billings from "Tiny Tim" This is perfect shirt pocket notebooks! Just slip it in there. The problem is I keep having to give them away when people see them! I have a little leather LODIS Day Planner that I couldn't readily find refills for. This is perfect! Had to cut the cover a bit but the pages fit great. I got the graph one on a whim and like it perhaps better than the lined. Don't even notice the graph. And the cover is pretty much indestructible plastic. I is pretty stiff and is a good backing to write on. Lies FLAT! Great! And no bleeding problems here; and no feathering. This is the only really small notebook I have. Perfect for my Kaweco Sport pen!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sean Lillis from Perfect Pocket Notebook This little notebook is amazing. I have been carrying it in my back pocket, side pocket, and breast pocket, and while it is bent and creased, this just adds to its charachter and shows how perfect it is for it's intended use. The binding has not failed, and the pages remain uncreased. The paper is typical Rhodia: a pleasure to write on. My only complaint is that me pad was missing a psge...it looked like it had been cut out. Not a big deal, just a little odd. Overall, you won't find a better pocket notebook. I will order these on a regular basis, and so should you.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Grouchy old engineer from Sturdy paper, nice notebook Sort of your standard small staplebound notebook with graph squares and nicer paper that doesn't bleed. Not extremely sexy, but very practical and easy to locate with the orange cover. As usual- great service, fast shipping, and bullet-proof packaging from Goulet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by John Bagwell from Compact and practical This notepad is compact and carries in a shirt or pants pocket easily. I find fountain pens and refillable rollerballs give me the option to choose ink colors, ink properties and nib sizes so I should always have some decent note paper available. This pad allows me to have quality paper handy and my notes have value because they are in a Rhodia notebook. Therefore I don't lose them.
Date published: 2014-10-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by Van McCalister+ from Portable These little note pads are perfect for men's shirt pockets. They are nice and thin so they are not uncomfortable, and handy to use all day long. Yes, I have a smart phone, but pen and paper are still more convenient much of the time.
Date published: 2014-10-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by Greg May from Love it This notebook is small enough to fit in my wallet, so it NEVER gets left behind. I don;t often use fountain pen ink when I'm out and about, but its nice that my pocket notebook will take it well on those few occasions that I do.
Date published: 2014-10-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by David Mukai from excellent little notebooks These notebooks accept all manner of ink, the binding is durable, and the size is just right for a shirt pocket.

now scrappy walker bags are a good idea .. colorful make your walker easily identifiable from the others..
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
now scrappy walker bags are a good idea .. colorful make your walker easily identifiable from the others..
Here today... why what a lucky bunch we are.
I like them. The white keeps them uniform with all the beautiful colors. Now come get my scraps in order so I can just sew them up also.
Life is short, live it while you still can. QuilterMomma
Like those pure comfort wraps ssnare. They seem more practical because they will stay on them instead of slide off the wheel chair and if they are with walkers, they will hang nicely as they walk back to their rooms. Nice of you to do them.
Life is short, live it while you still can. QuilterMomma
I found 184 words, I bet there are more....
Where I stayed at the convelescent home they took things to wash but half the time did not return them to their owners. They would get back other things instead. Is there anyway to put one white strip in those if you do them again and this way when gifted could have the patients name put on there with washable marker? better shot at getting them back to their owner. just food for thought.
I am off to check out the mystery quilt. There is a scrappy mystery train coming here in the block of the month Dec 29th just a three week mystery quilt project for those who are interested.
I keep my little scraps dont laugh sorted by color on my bookshelf. If its smaller than a f4 it goes on the shelf and I use them for my swap blocks all the time. Hows about you send me your scraps Quiltermomma.. glad to sort them.. and quickly shove them on my shelves. lol (ok it was a good try you must have oodles of scraps!).
Here today... why what a lucky bunch we are.
I am so ready for this swap. I have lots of sizes. I do mini quilts use as small as 1-1/2" to 4" and larger. Working on a quilt the largest pieces are 2-1/2". I have up to 10" pieces and all between. Some pieces are novelty kid prints and flowers, solids, even holiday prints.
Kindergarden stayed with me, I still color, paint, draw and cut things up.
Elisabrat, I wish you much happiness and thank you for your wonderful suggestion to put a white strip on the comfort quilts for nursing home patients. Why or why did I not think of that years ago!?!? The strip identifying the owner with the standard laundry marking will be ever so useful and there are other applications, as well. :-)
This is a scrappy quilt I am currently sewing together. I love this pattern so much, I am going to make another.

Schools look at using CCAs to teach values and life lessons
Topic likely to be explored at two-day conference
Published on Nov 7, 2011
Principals and teachers are brainstorming on how co-curricular activities (CCAs) can be further harnessed to develop character, as they craft plans for the next work year.
Ideas range from encouraging greater participation in intra-school meets, to creating more opportunities for students to pursue sports recreationally.
School-wide competitions - open to all except those already in school teams - are one avenue Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) is exploring. Catholic High School is looking at providing students with better resources to help more of them attain a higher sporting standard.
The issue of CCAs and how they can help in a child's development is expected to be among the discussion topics at the first Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) conference, which starts on Tuesday.
Activities outside the classroom are seen as integral to the Ministry of Education's (MOE) renewed emphasis on building character and inculcating moral values like respect and responsibility in students.
The two-day conference at the Nanyang Technological University comes on the back of the MOE's setting up of a CCE branch recently, which brings together the units in charge of moral education, national education and CCAs.
But while the emphasis may be on character and values education, parents are also keen to see their children involved in sports while at school, even if they are not good enough to wear school colours.
Said Victoria School principal Low Eng Teong: 'We know this (CCAs) is something we need to look at urgently.
'It is not just about re-planning programmes, but also changing mindsets of what CCAs, especially sports, aim to deliver. One outcome we want is more participation.'
His ACS(I) counterpart Winston Hodge noted that the intensity of competitive sports makes it a 'crucible' for students to learn important life lessons such as fairness and perseverance.
But he added: 'We shouldn't just be focused on competition teams, but broaden participation to as many as will benefit from it.'
Enhancing the school house system to involve more students is one possibility. Mr Chan Chee Wei, the school's director for health, physical education and recreation, said: 'Even if you are an armchair critic, we still have opportunities for you to get involved - perhaps as team managers or umpires.'
Educators and experts agree that CCAs help provide a well-rounded education, especially as a classroom setting may not be the most ideal way to transmit values to youngsters who are generally more questioning than their elders.
Assistant Professor Jasmine Sim from the National Institute of Education, who has done research on Singapore's civics and moral education syllabus over the years, said: 'Compared with previous generations, students are now more articulate and open to discussion.
'It is therefore important to teach character building not just through a didactic approach, but also to have more platforms for dialogues with students, opportunities to work together with them, as well as through the informal curriculum such as CCAs.'
Consultant psychiatrist Brian Yeo noted that CCAs are a useful tool for building self-esteem and leadership potential, and offer achievement goals for students who are less academically inclined.
But he sounded a note of caution, calling for a balance in how CCAs are used in the new emphasis on a values-driven education: 'You have to be careful about how you enforce it.
'It is useful as long as it doesn't increase the stress on students.'
Parents such as Madam Lee Wei Yin are hailing the impending changes.
Madam Lee, a mother of three, had the freedom to try out and train in several track-and-field events back when she was in school. She laments that her children, aged between 15 and 18, do not have similar opportunities.
'You may not end up being very good in the sport, but at least you experience it and understand the rules,' said the 50-year-old housewife.
In recent years, some schools, especially those with strong sporting traditions, have been criticised for not allowing students not good enough for the school team to join a sport recreationally.
Madam Lim Siew Tin's 11-year-old son was so discouraged by such policies that he decided to skip sports selection trials at his school in the east altogether, and joined the choir.
The 44-year-old part-time tutor said: 'He might not be good at sports, but boys being boys, he enjoys physical exercise. He is so passionate, he sometimes stays back after school to watch the football or hockey players train.
'My second son will start attending Primary 1 in the same school next year, so the possible changes to CCAs are timely.'

Prisoners of WarMature
The drums of war echoed throughout the heads of the warriors as they marched northwards towards imminent danger. An Elf, a Halfling and a Partial Immortal. What an odd band they must be to on lookers.
That was exactly what the small band of scouts following them thought. They stalked through the shadows as the small band zig zagged away from the corpse of the Dragon. The scouts, which numbered five in total, all drew there arrows at the same time. Expertly they fired on the unexpecting group.
Sigurd and Racieus exchanged glances but it was to late. The arrows embedded themselves into there boots, pinning them to the ground. Sigurd drew his bow, Neradin stood, slightly off balance, but ready to rain fire on the new enemy. Whilst the Halfling was eagerly trying to undo his laces.
The five barbaric orcs ran from there shaded position and held arrows aimed for the heads of the trapped heroes. Sigurd grunted and Racieus looked up in response, swiftly taking his hands from his boot laces, returning to a military stance.
The orcs seemed to giggle amoungst themselves at there apparent catch. One of them stepped forward and blew a dust into Neradins face. He took it well, but a moment later collapsed.
The orc proceeded to do the same to Sigurd and Racieus....
The stench that had taken the groups nostrils hostage was vile and putrid. Sigurd raised his head from the hard, rock floor. His eyes met that of his friends. Racieus was pacing along the length of the bars that held them prisoner. Neradin sat still, thinking.
Sigurd let out a predictable sigh. "We are in a ... " Neradin cut across him. "Where we are is obvious, how we get out is less clear."
Racieus turned around with a cunning smile on his face. "I have an idea". Sigurd grunted. "This one better not involve a dragon..."

In a time and place like our own, an alien ship crashed into the atmosphere, burning on impact. Or so the people believe. Truth is, a series of alien devices were able to withstand the landing, alien devices that attached themselves to unsuspecting human hosts and made them susceptible to alien experimentation-giving them heightened senses and superhuman abilities...and working to alter their minds.
Things had been perfectly normal that day, or at least as normal as they could get.
Being an intern at one of the world's best scientific facilities, Rin never knew what to expect. All she usually did was prep equipment or do some cleaning, but did catch the occasional glimpse of a specimen. And those were the days that made all the slaving away worthwhile.
"Rin, could you set up lab three? And get some security around it too?"
Rin glanced up from the tale she was sanitizing, smiling politely at her boss, the well-known and brilliant, if not vain researcher Nikita Petrova.
Nikita smiled and rushed out the door, calling a curt thanks over her shoulder. Rin put the rag and spray bottle back in the cleaning cart beside her, wheeling it to a back room before proceeding to boot up the machines in said lab three. The lab in itself was the size of a soccer field so, the building having twenty labs, a particle accelerator, a massive microscope, and a telescope even larger than the microscope, was huge. To put things lightly.
After getting some security as asked, Rin watched with interest as the lobby's front doors slammed open, Nikita leading a group of government agents who were all surrounding a metal container the size of a garbage can being wheeled in. The five-or-so group were quickly ushered into lab three, the door instantaneously locked. Rin stared at it, annoyed. The best action she'd seen in weeks and she wasn't even going to get a look at it. Figures.
Taking the cleaning cart back out from its place, Rin continued her methodical swiping and swishing, sneaking glances at the lab doors every so often. She was nearing the end of her shift when all four government agents and Nikita stepped from the lab, conversing in hushed tones. The agents left swiftly, Nikita searching the threshold with the look that meant she wanted something done.
Hearing her name, Rin left the cart to speak with Petrova.
Nikita looked around warily, before finally talking, speech slow and quiet.
"I need you to help me with this. Watch over the lab for ten minutes? I need to grab something, and I don't want any of these idiots going sightseeing inside." she said, pointing at the security guards.
Rin glanced at the lab doors, pushing off a rising feeling of excitement.
"Yeah, no problem."
Nikita rushed off again, not bothering with a thank-you this time. Rin walked to the doors, and, feeling an unbearable amount of curiosity, waited until the guards had strolled just around the corner, and slipped in silently.
The lab was dark except for the one light in the middle of the room, the canister nestled just below it. Rin neared it, hands quivering, and pulled on a pair of disposable gloves. A push on the release button made the lid flip open with a slight whoosh of air, odd, pulsating light coming from inside.
Rin knelt down beside it, squinting to try and discern the shape inside. The light was no larger than a coin, but pulsed steadily, comparable to a heartbeat. Before she knew what she was doing, Rin had reached a hand down into the container and scooped it out, holding it up to the light.
It was a small metallic object, the likeness of an insect with long, leg-like limbs and a slim disc holding them together. The light that came from it had no apparent source but seemed to emanate from every part of it. Atop the dime-sized disc was what looked to be an engraving of a spider, oddly familiar but too vague to place.
Rin was about to put the specimen back into its housing, realizing she was halfway through the ten minutes, but as she did the thing suddenly let out a beep and skittered up her sleeve, making her yelp and jump up, trying desperately to whack it off. She suddenly felt its metal limbs on her neck and froze, panting from her leaping about. It crawled higher, until it was mid-neck on her left side, and stopped. And sank its spindly legs into her skin.
As tempted as she was, Rin didn't scream. It felt like she was getting eight vaccines at once, right on the side of her throat, but she managed to bite her lip and keep it down, using a hand to try and pull the thing out. It didn't budge, but sank deeper until the only thing above the surface of her skin was the disc.
The sound of Nikita's muffled voice made Rin panic, closing the container and dumping her gloves into a bin. She whirled about and, seeing a window, pushed it open and jumped out, running as soon as her feet hit the ground. A few seconds and she was already down the street a block, too preoccupied to notice her speed and stamina. Turning to look back at Avocet Laboratories, Rin could see government agents swarming around the place already. She glanced at the window of lab three, before her mind made a disturbing realization. It was on the fifth floor.

EU commission defends ailing migration policies
The European Commission continues to defend EU agreements, broadly ignored by member states, to better manage migrant inflows.
Dimitris Avramopoulos, the commissioner in charge of migration, on Wednesday (10 February) said national governments are lagging behind on overall efforts.

"If all member states had done what they were supposed to do the landscape of the situation would be different than today," he said.
The former Greek defence minister evoked vague threats of a Europe returning to the "dark sides, the dark memories of our recent history" should the plans fail.
"From the moment this system [the hotspots to register migrants] starts working, things will be totally different," he said.
Avramopoulos' statements followed the commission publication of a series of so-called progress reports on how agreements tailored to ease the migratory pressure on the Western Balkans, Greece and Italy are being implemented.
With exceptions on the recent uptake of asylum registrations in Greece and Italy, the EU executive's overall assessment remains dire.
The wider prognosis comes as little surprise given the political and logistical problems that have dogged the EU-level agreements for months.
EU summit
The release of the documents is meant to stir debate among EU leaders ahead of an EU summit in Brussels next week.
Leaked draft summit conclusions seen by this website places emphasis on shoring up external borders and refusing entry even to those "who have not made an asylum application despite having had the opportunity to do so."
Avramopoulos, for his part, said he had sent letters to all EU interior ministers to pressure them into relocating some 160,000 people from Greece and Italy over the next two years.
"So far, only 497 migrants were relocated," he said of a plan launched last September.
Fifteen EU states offered 1,081 places to relocate some 66,400 people from Greece. Only 218 have been filled. Italy's relocation target is 39,600 but only 279 have been dispatched.
Over 880,000 people landed in Greece from Turkey last year alone with projected figures suggesting many more will arrive. But of those, Greece managed to return less than 20,000. Italy, for its part, returned around 14,000.
The return problem, is due in part, to bi-lateral readmission agreements not being respected by countries like Pakistan and Turkey.
Avramopoulos noted, among other things, that Greece will have a month to improve asylum reception conditions so that other states can start transferring migrants back to Athens under the strained Dublin asylum rule.
Greece in 2011 was booted out of Dublin, which says a country through which asylum seekers first entered the EU have to handle applications for asylum on behalf of all other member states.
The policy is set for a big overhaul in March. But it will still have to go through the normal EU co-legislative procedures, a process that could take years given past reform efforts on Dublin.
Greece and Italy improve fingerprinting
Meanwhile, Greece and Italy have made some improvements.
Fingerprints registered in the Eurodac asylum database in Greece went from 8 percent last September to 78 percent this January. Italy went from 36 percent to 87 percent over the same period.
But both have yet to get all their respective migrant arrival screening zones up and running. Known as hotspots, the zones underpin EU's stalled relocation scheme.
Out of the five designated hotspots in Greece, only the one in Lesbos is operational. The Greek Army is aiming to get others ready by next Monday. Greece is able to house around 17,600 arrivals but committed to accommodating 50,000.
In Italy, out of six announced, only one in Lampedusa and another in Pozzallo are running.
The Western Balkans are also coming up short. Less than half of the 50,000 additional reception places have been made available.

Blimp Bound for U.S. Open Touches Down Against House
Published: September 12, 1994
SOUTH FARMINGDALE, L.I., Sept. 11— A 200-foot-long blimp bound for the United States Open tennis championships lost pressure and touched down against a house on a quiet dead-end street in Nassau County this morning. No one was injured, but the airship took down several power lines as it landed and deflated.
The blimp, carrying two pilots and a photographer to the event in Flushing Meadows, Queens, had taken off from Republic Airport in Farmingdale at 10:30 A.M., but soon started to lose pressure, said Capt. Peter Buckley, chief aviator for Airship International, the Florida company that operates the craft.
Captain Buckley said the blimp's pilots, Russell Mills and Fritz Gunther, both of Long Island, radioed to the airport tower that they were returning but could not make the trip back.
"They chose the only open area they could find," Captain Buckley said. 'A Huge Rush of Air'
The 62-foot-tall airship, bearing the Gulf Oil logo, landed nose first against the red-shingle, L-shaped ranch house of Raymond Domanico, director of New York City's Public Education Association.
"I was sleeping downstairs in the den and I heard some noise. Then there was a huge rush of air like a gale force," Mr. Domanico said. "I felt the air rushing through the house, and I thought it was a hurricane or a tornado."
Moments later, he said, neighbors were banging on his door, hollering at him to get out of the house. When he looked at his driveway, Mr. Domanico said, he saw the blimp's nose resting against a pine shrub and a berry bush. The blimp's tail, still inflated, swayed in the air as rescue efforts began.
The fire chief of South Farmingdale, Fred Heffert, said his companies were dispatched to the site, in the vicinity of Main Street and Albers Lane, at 11:14 A.M., after the county's emergency dispatch became flooded with calls from residents who saw the blimp go down. High-Pitched Voices
"It landed partially against a house, but it came down pretty easy," said Chief Heffert, whose volunteers assisted neighbors in helping the crew members and photographer, who works for a company that produces videotape recordings of the Open, escape from the craft's gondola.
"When some of the guys came out from there they were talking with some high-pitched voices," the chief said, referring to the tightening effect helium gas, which is nonflammable, has on vocal chords.
Of greatest concern to rescue officials was an estimated 110 gallons of 100-octane fuel the blimp had been carrying. Firefighters and an outside contractor removed the craft's two fuel tanks.
Samuel Pangallo, 57, whose backyard faces Mr. Domanico's house, said he was working with his son, Joseph, 31, on some flooring when he heard the droning of the blimp's engine and thought it sounded unusually loud. "I saw it going down between two trees," Mr. Pangallo said. "I was scared, and I grabbed my son and my wife and said get out of here, get out to the front of the house."
Usually, Mr. Domanico's yard is full of children, but his daughters, Kathryn, 8, and Ellyn, 4, had stayed with friends overnight. Two days earlier, as a Gulf blimp passed over a nearby schoolyard, Mr. Domanico had discussed blimp safety with the friends' parents.
"My friend didn't believe me at first when I told him," Mr. Domanico said. Cause Under Investigation
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board were at the scene but were not immediately available for comment. "They told us not to speculate on the cause while the investigation is going on," Captain Buckley said.
Sunday afternoon, the blimp's silver skin -- or envelope, as it is called -- lay deflated over at least two lawns, relieved of its 247,000 cubic feet of helium. More than 200 households in the area lost power, said a Long Island Lighting Company supervisor at the scene, but electricity was restored by evening.
Mr. Domanico, more used to dealing with curriculum crises than aviation near-disasters, shook his head as he watched salvage efforts.
"You see so many things that go on, you read so much in the papers, you get kind of numbed to everything." He shrugged his shoulders. "So there's a blimp in my front yard."

Brabus Offers 620-HP Upgrade for New Mercedes V8 Biturbo Engines
Continuing to expand their already impressive portfolio of tuning Mercedes-Benz vehicles, Brabus has now introduced an engine tuning program for the new V8 biturbo powerplants from Mercedes, which includes the newest S550 and CL550, S63 and CL63 AMG.

There are several different stages to Brabus' PowerXtra CGI performance kits with pricing varying from $7,200 to $8,700. Your choice of kit depends on which V8 biturbo powerplant you're sporting and is essentially an ECU reflash. In addition, enthusiasts can purchase a Brabus sport exhaust system with exhaust control. With a push of a button, your Mercedes can go from "Coming Home" mode to "Sport" mode.
In addition, further performance can be had with Brabus' limited-slip differential upgrade. Exterior modifications can also be added to your package with carbon fiber aerodynamic accessories. And of course you can choose to outfit your Mercedes with any of Brabus' 19- to 21-inch wheels.

"Ms. Kemp!"
Mr. Norton's low-pitched bark startled me from the half-asleep state I'd been in, causing me to jump in my seat.
"Uh…" I glanced around the room, searching for a hint of what was going on. I heard the snickers of my classmates around me, the impatient tapping of Mr. Norton's shoes on the linoleum floor.
"If you would pay attention, Ms. Kemp, then you would know that we were discussing the psychological qualities of Hamlet," he sneered. "But clearly, you find this to be too much of a bore, so feel free to go back to sleep."
It was the most I'd ever heard him say. Mr. Norton was more of a read and scrutinize type person. I risked a sidelong glance at Griffin, who was scowling down at his desk.
I myself looked down, cheeks flushed in embarrassment. Had I really fallen asleep?
When the bell rang, I couldn't gather my books quickly enough. Griffin and I parted in the hallway for second hour, and it seemed like an eternity until I arrived at the cafeteria. Ever since I had begun to snow, we'd taken to eating at one of the unoccupied corner tables, alone and cut off from the rest of the student body. It was much louder, but it was much warmer too.
"You're quiet today," I noted as I opened up my milk carton.
Griffin only shrugged. "I had a long night. Someone kept me up past three."
I bit my lip guiltily, and Griffin chuckled. "I forgive you, I suppose," he said. And then he added, "After you fell asleep, I compared some of the sketches I did of you to the girl from my dreams."
I looked up, hoping to meet his gaze, but he was looking away. "And?" I prompted.
"And, they look almost the same." I looked so magnificent in his drawings. It wasn't me at all; it was the dream-angel I'd found so beautiful back in September.
"What does it mean?" I asked quietly.
Griffin lifted a shoulder in another shrug. "How the hell do I know?" He replied. Then softer, "It means that we were meant to find each other."
I smiled a little at the idea that some freakish force of nature found Griffin and I to be a perfect as I did, but the smile faded as I rephrased my question. "I meant the dying part," I whispered. My throat had gone suddenly dry as my mind ticked off options.
Griffin, too, seemed paler than usual. "Nothing," he snapped. "It doesn't mean a thing."
I went straight home on Friday so that I could see my mom off. However, due to traffic and such, by the time I actually threw open the apartment door, it was already nearing four-o-clock.
My mother was, as always, in a frenzy, her reasonable-sized suitcase already sitting beside the door.
"Arielle, have you seen my black v-neck?" I heard my mom scream from her bedroom. Suffocating a sigh, I hollered back "It's in the top drawer of your dresser."
Shirt in hand, she came storming into the kitchen. "The nine-o-clock flight was cancelled, and five is the only time we can get out of here," she explained as she unzipped her bag and dropped the shirt inside.
I nodded dumbly as she hoisted up the bag and leaned over to give me a loose hug. "I'll call you," she promised, kissing my cheek. "Be safe."
And just like that, she disappeared out the door.
I didn't bother to remind her that I loved her.
Once she was gone, I sauntered into my own room, throwing my backpack into the corner and tumbling onto my bed. The silence that filled my bedroom and the rest of the apartment only intensified as time went on, however, and quickly became too much to bear.
Forcing myself up slowly, I emptied the contents of my backpack out onto my floor and began to throw in all the necessary items I would need for my night over at Griffin's. Since there were relatively few, it took all of about seven minutes. And then, because I couldn't take on more second of being alone, I left.
All throughout the day, I continuously pondered the connection between Arielle and my dreams. The likelihood that it was all mere coincidence seemed slim, but, really, I couldn't come up with a single explanation.
"Griffin, dear, would you get the door?"
Cordelia's demanding voice brought me out of my trance. I rose fluidly from the chair which I sat on in the dining room, and made my way to the foyer.
I pulled open the door and found myself looking into Arielle's gray-blue eyes. Her pale cheeks were tinted with red from the chill, and her lips were curved up into a smile.
I moved aside to allow her in, shutting the door tightly and locking it behind her. She had been over enough times by then to know the drill; she slipped out of her shoes and coat, leaving them in the foyer, and then headed towards the kitchen to greet Cordelia.
"Arielle, darling, how are you?" As usual, my grandmother was all over Arielle in a heartbeat. I allowed a tiny grin to creep over my face as I watched her hug the elderly woman awkwardly.
"I'm fine," Arielle assured her. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced over at me. The attempt at discretion was pointless, however; nothing got past Cordelia's watchful gaze.
With a dramatic sigh, Cordelia pushed herself out of the ebony chair. "I'll let you two have some time alone, then." She looked to me as she brushed past and disappeared into the hallway, her expression a mixture of warning and amusement. I adverted my own eyes to the floor, silently counting to ten until I dared step towards Arielle.
"Shall we?" I asked, gesturing towards the spiral staircase. She nodded slightly before hurrying to my side.
It was no longer uncomfortable to be alone in my bedroom with Arielle. The initial unease had worn off long ago, and now it just was. Arielle took her normal place atop my bed and within a second I had joined her.
She looked up at me in that innocent way she had, her eyes wide and her lips somewhat parted, the way that made her look so trapped and lost and helpless. And, as usual, I felt the pull, telling me to take her away from the world she hated so. To hold her in my arms and make her believe that hope really did exist.
Tentatively, I reached out a hand to her, and of course she took it. I pulled her towards me gently, slowly, until she was beside me and I could embrace her.
"Everything's alright now," I murmured into her hair. I didn't know what had caused that awful expression to plaster itself to her face, but I wanted to do all in my power to make it go away. No matter what it took.
Tipping her face up gently towards my own, I pressed my lips to hers softly. She reacted accordingly, lacing her slender fingers in my hair and kissing me back twice as hard. She fell back onto the bed, pulling me atop her, kissing me still. We became one person, moving in unison, the world fading away until it ceased to exist, leaving only us behind. She moaned under my mouth, her hands moving to my chest as she gently pushed me away.
"Griffin," she whispered, pulling away. I shuddered at the sound of my name on her lips. It was magical, impossibly beautiful. Oh, how I loved her. No combination of words could have expressed the passion I felt for her.
I held her gaze, her stony eyes seeming to stare straight into me, until she suddenly looked up.
I followed her gaze to the massive crucifix hanging above my bed. And when our eyes met again, there was a smile playing on both our lips.
"It just wouldn't be right," she whispered.
We both sat back up, straightening out our clothing and smoothing our hair. And then, of all things. A nervous giggle escaped her lips.
"What is so funny?" I asked in amusement. A few seconds later, and Arielle was completely doubled over in hysterical laughter. Unable to restrain myself, I allowed a few laughs of my own to break free. I leaned over and kissed her again, gently this time, slowly. She was still laughing as she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me down to her once again.
The laughter died instantly, however, when Arielle's cell phone suddenly sounded from where it sat on the nightstand.
She hurriedly reached for it, attempting to steady her breathing as she flipped it open.
"Hello?" She said in a shaky voice. I watched her intently as the smile vanished instantly from her face.
"Hi, mom."

(Photo by Desmond Bostick) \ Council accepts bid for new ambulance New Braunfels City Council hopes the purchase of a new ambulance will eliminate many problems experienced by emergency medical service drivers. Council Monday approved the purchase of a "Type III modular" ambulance for $64,451.00 from Collins Ambulance in Mansfield, Texas. The ambulance is a budgeted item for the city. The purchase would make four ambulances available for the city. City Manager Paul Grohman said four ambulances will be on call at all times, with the fifth (the oldest ambulance) as a backup. The current ambulances arc 4 to 5 years old. There are now four ambulances in service for the city, but there is not a backup in case of breakdown, said Groh-man. The addition of the ambulance will not require more emergency personnel because the same number of vehicles will be on active duty, he said. The current ambulances, Grohman said, have had problems with the air conditioning and low amperage output. "We cannot afford to have malfunctioning emergency vehicles. The air conditioning is very necessary in the ambulances because with long patient transfers there needs to be temperature control or the heat becomes life threatening, even in mild weather," Grohman said. "We chose the Type III because it is more durable and usable than the Type Ifs." One aspect of the new Type III ambulance that was attractive to Grohman was the chassis and the compartment can be separated, which would save on the cost of replacing the compartment if the vehicle were to need repair. The city manager said most cities are now using the Type III ambulance because it is possible to replace the chassis and reuse the compartment. The Type ll ambulance is built as one piece and cannot be separated. "There's little difference in the cost — maybe $15,000 — but you double the life of the ambulance," said Grohman. The ambulance should arrive within 90 days, Grohman said, and would be ready to go into service at that time. 345 cast votes Good Day on bond issue A school bond election Saturday will decide the proposed construction of a New Braunfels Independent School District sixth-grade facility and additions, repairs, and renovations to Lamar Primary School. Polls will open at 7 a.m. and remain open until 7 p.m. Saturday to decide a $4,595 million bond proposal, according to Connie Waltisperger of the New Braunfels Independent School District. Waltisperger said absentee voting ended Tuesday with 345 voting in person. She said one mailout ballot had been sent but not yet received. All ballots, including mahouts, must be received no later than 7 p.m., Nov. 18. The bond package includes $4,185 million for the new sixth-grade school and an additional $410,000 for renovation of Lamar Primary School. Waltisperger said the following polling places will be open: • Lone Star Primary School at 144 Hidalgo Ave. (Trustee District #1) • Seclc Elementary School at 540 Howard St. (Trustee District #2) • New Braunfels Middle School at 659 Guenther Ave. (District #3) • Lamar Primary School at 240 N.

Lawmakers have failed in two other sessions this year to See VOTE, Page 2A Sales tax rebates to die City of New Braunfels dropped I percent in October compared to last year, but the news is nothing to be alarmed about, said City Manager Paul Grohman. According to a report from the Slate Comptroler's Office, New Braunfels received a rebate check from the state for $263,654.07 down 1.01 percent from the $266,354.12 rebate received last year. "This is not a trend, it is not anything to be alarmed about," Grohman said. "The drop is only in the past month, if the drop continues on lo next month then we might be alarmed." Year-to-date payments arc up 14.57 percent from last year. The payments to date total $2.24 million up from last year's $1.95 million. The rebates are from sales taxes collected during September by businesses that file monthly returns and taxes collected in July, August and September by businesses that file quarterly returns. Seguin's rebate check is down 4.15 percent for last month and up only 4 percent over the year. The rebate to San Marcos is down 25.01 percent in October and up 11.01 percent for die year, Communist leaders consider offer of aid BERLIN (AP) — East Germany's leaders today considered West Germany's offer of massive financial aid, but Mikliail S. Gorbachev cautioned that "exporting capitalism" could hurt the growing climate of cooperation in Europe. Near the historic Brandenburg Gate, revelers staged an all-night vigil expecting a new hole today in the Berlin Wall that .would reopen the city's most famous thoroughfare. East Germany's new premier, Hails Modrow, agreed Tuesday to meet nominal opposition figures on prospects for forming a coalition government. The country's Communist leaders also pondered West Germany's offer Tuesday of a massive financial aid program in the style of the postwar Marshall Plan — which would require them to fundamentally reform the centrally planned economy, Gorbachev, believed to have encouraged the ouster of hard-line East German leader Erich Honecker and the dizzying reforms that led to die wall's opening, warned Westerners not to gloat over the demise of Communism in the East bloc. "When accusations of 'exporting revolutions' are replaced with calls for 'exporting capitalism,' we have at hand a dangerous manifestation of old thinking," Tass paraphrased Gorbachev as saying Tuesday in Moscow.

These folks are the reason for the aiuiual New Braunfels llerald-Zettung Cheer Fund. Each year since 1982, die newspaper has sponsored the drive to provide a Chrisunas ditmer to die less fortunate in the area who might not otherwise enjoy a holiday meal. That first year, the drive netted $1,807.70 and spent $1,260 to provide baskets lo 60 families. The drive has grown and now provides baskets to 200 families iii the area. This year, a goal of $5,000 has been set to buy the goodies to fill those baskets. All of the tax-deductible contributions are used to purchase the food items contained on the Cheer Fund shopping list. The administrative and distribution costs are provided by the Herald/^ Hung and community volunteers. Even the paper bags and boxes used to pack up the baskets have been donated.

I directly attribute one of my bouts of depression over here to this book as I had just finished reading about the moment where it sunk.

The streak had reached nine races and the Europeans, all so very weary of it all, had marshaled their forces and were closing in on Squirrel Valley, a circuit located on the outskirts of the Vimmerby, Sweden. The date was Sunday, September 16, 1990 and cheery little Vimmerby was playing host to the 44th running of the Motocross des Nations.
Sunday, race day, was bright and sunny, some 10,000 fans flocking to the sand track which was laid out in a thicket of tall evergreen trees. During opening ceremonies, Team USA—Damon Bradshaw (125cc), Jeff Stanton (250cc), and Jeff Ward (500cc)—stood in the back of a small Jeep, waving an American flag and their hands to the enthusiasts who filled the narrow valley. The American team looked quite confident, but deep down all three riders knew they had a fight on their hands. This time, the Grand Prix riders who made up the World Championship circuit were serious. The day before in Saturday practice, Belgian big-bike rider Dirk Geukens had taken it upon himself to taunt both Ward and Stanton, often pulling in behind them and shadowing the American duo to the point that they wondered just what he was up to. In fact, Geukens nearly landed upon Ward in one session.
The first moto on Sunday was the combined 500cc/125cc classification. When the gate dropped, there were some strange glances exchanged when home-team rider Stefan Larsson pulled an amazing holeshot. "We always use the same gate for the GPs throughout Sweden," Larsson would say sheepishly after the moto. Larsson led the first eight circuits of what would be a 17-lap affair before Ward flashed past. Following the American past the Swede was Team Luxembourg's Jacky Martens (who was actually from Belgium, but that's another story). One of the world's premier sand specialists at the time, Martens would soon blitz Ward and race away to win the moto over the Kawasaki pilot. Dane Soren Mortenson was third and Belgian Geukens was an impressive fourth.

Rosberg aiming for Austrian hat-trick
By Alan Baldwin
SPIELBERG, Austria (Reuters) - Nico Rosberg is the only current Formula One driver to have won in Austria and Mercedes' championship leader intends to keep it that way on Sunday by completing his hat-trick in Red Bull's backyard.
The German arrives at the scenic Red Bull Ring buoyed by a victory in Baku which restored his lead over team mate and triple champion Lewis Hamilton to 24 points with 13 rounds remaining.
"Baku was a good weekend for me. I really felt at one with the car," said Rosberg, who celebrated his 31st birthday on Monday.
"I can't wait to see what it can do in Spielberg. To have two wins from two races at any track is pretty special, so if I could make it three in three that would be awesome.
"It's a short run to the first corner there and generally my starts and first corners have been strong this season, so if I can qualify well there's a good chance of a top result. I'm looking forward to the weekend."
Rosberg dominated in Azerbaijan, leading all the way from pole position and also setting the fastest lap.
Yet he has never started from the front in Austria, winning last year from second on the grid and third in 2014 when Williams swept the front row.
Hamilton, who finished fifth in Baku after starting 10th, will be looking to do much better at what he calls an 'old school track'. Continued...

I haven't received a bill or statement from npower since I switched to it two years ago because it is unable to identify me as a customer. This doesn't prevent it taking £70 a month out of my bank account, based on estimated usage. I want to shop around for a better tariff, but I can't leave npower until it issues a final bill – which it can't until it has identified me as a customer. ET, London
Npower's struggles with its billing system have earned it fines and headlines, but you are the victim of incompetence spectacular even by its standards. Infuriatingly, it takes the press office two weeks to discover what baffled customer services for two years (the company took your neighbour's account by mistake; it returned it but forgot to remove their supply number from your account, which confounded the billing system). So far the promise of a final statement has not materialised.
If you need help email Anna Tims at email@example.com or write to Your Problems, The Observer, Kings Place, 90 York Way, London N1 9GU. Include an address and phone number.

Report: 30% of U.S. Homes Will Have Monitored Services by 2020
Consumer demand for remote monitoring and the increasing presence of broadband service providers will drive growth in the security market, according to a new report by Dallas-based research firm Parks Associates.
August 1, 2011
Households in the United States with professionally monitored security services will expand to 30 percent by 2020, according to a new report by Dallas-based research firm Parks Associates.
In the report, titled "IP-based Home Monitoring Security," the firm notes an estimated 18 percent of U.S. households used professionally monitored security systems in 2010, generating roughly $10 billion in service fees. Consumer demand for remote monitoring and the increasing presence of broadband service providers will drive growth in the security market, according to the report.
"We believe Internet-connected security systems will expand the residential security market by providing additional capabilities and benefits to a broader range of consumers than those who are typical subscribers," says Bill Ablondi, the firm's director of home systems research.
As broadband services become more widespread, a disruption to the traditional sales model at many security companies can be expected. One-third of U.S. consumers in broadband households find remote control of lights, appliances and thermostats via Web-enabled devices very appealing, according to the firm's research. Nearly 50 percent of U.S. consumers find E-mail/text notification of smoke, fire, water, or gas leaks very appealing.
Broadband providers are well-positioned to tap into this market due to their existing infrastructure and ongoing customer relationships, and their field operations can enable a range of digital home management services, according to the firm.
"With smartphones and other Web-enabled devices, clients are carrying a link to their home systems," Ablondi says. "These Internet-connected security systems provide added capabilities and benefits. They are expanding the residential market by bringing new customers into what was a relatively stagnant consumer base."

American Iron Magazine Features Oil Bud Oil Cooler for Harley Davidsons from Bud's Bike Parts
In a recent review of Oil Bud Oil Cooler in American Iron Magazine, the product was recognized as one the unique and outstanding product on the market.
The magazine, which specializing in the coverage of American-made motorcycles including Harley-Davidson, Indian and Victory Motorcycles noted that in today's environment, regulations require bikes that are made to run on leaner fuel measures.
There is good news for Harley Davidson's owners seeking to protect their motor bike's engine, Helena, MT's leading bike parts specialist provider, Bud's Bike's Parts, today announces the Oil Bud Oil Cooler, a product that keeps oil temperature in line and is virtually undetectable.
"Protecting your Harley Davidson's engine means keeping oil temperatures cool, and the Oil Bud Oil Cooler keeps oil temps inline and is virtually undetectable on your motorcycle,"
Therefore, it has supported that "Leaner fuel mixtures cause your engine to run hotter."
The solution to hotter engines? "Oil Bud… which regulates oil temperature by starting to open at 180F and full opens at 205F. You can expect up to a 35F temperature differential,"
However, according to the Bud's Bike's Parts spokesperson, Oil Bud was designed to help owners of Harley Davidson motor cycles to understand the technology behind the leading oil cooler that will add years of life to their motorcycle and increase the quality of their rides.
The American Iron magazine review, explained that "Oil Bud is built with aircraft quality materials: parts are 6061-T6 machined aluminium, the header tube assembly is a TIG welded aluminum extrusion connected with braided stainless steel Teflon hose." All fittings are JIC-ORB aircraft style and chromed where they are visable.
Bud's Biker Parts spokesman also noted that their company's website features videos showing how strong, durable and effective the Oil Bud Cooler is.
Visit http://www.harleyoilcoolers.com for details.
To see how durable the Oil Bud is check out our Shotgun Durability Test Video - http://www.youtube.com/
"Oil Bud will even keep your Harley Davidson engine oil cool even in the searing heat of Las Vegas and stop and go traffic. It will still function great after a 12 gauge shotgun blast and withstands beating with a hammer," said the Bud Clark, Bike's Parts' spokesman.
For further information, please contact: Bud Clark, President, 406-457-2458, email@example.com or visit www.BudsBikerParts.net
