Cheap flights to Greenville, South Carolina (SC)
When is the best time to fly to Greenville?
Greenville's main tourist season is during the local summer months of June to August when temperatures average around the mid-20s Celsius. However all four seasons prove an enjoyable time to visit and not only can visitors save money in the shoulder seasons of April- May and September - October, they can make further savings during the mild winters from November to March. Choosing a shoulder season isn't an easy decision. Greenville spring is in April to May when the weather is sunny, the rainfall is low and the beautiful state parks blossom to life. On the other hand the local autumn months of September and October are spectacular as the trees turn to hues of orange. The peak season coincides with the school holidays from May to Late August so it's hard to evade them, but visitors can dodge additional costs by avoiding Independence Day on the 4th July and Labour Day on the 1st September.
Greenville overview
Laidback southern charm meets contemporary cool in Greenville, a city in South Carolina that is emerging as one the US's hippest destinations.

Migrant dad who eBay auctioned baby is banned from unsupervised contact
A MIGRANT father who tried to sell his six-week-old baby on eBay has been banned from unsupervised contact with her.
The newborn, named Maria, was auctioned on the online site and has now been taken in by a special car unit.
A family court in Duisburg in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia ordered the baby's mum to move into the unit with her.
Maria was listed with a starting price of €5,000 with the caption: "Child, 40 days old named Maria… for sale."
Her dad, 28, recently moved to Germany as a refugee, handed himself into police and the baby was taken into care.
"Child, 40 days old named Maria… for sale"eBay listing
The listing, which included photographs of dark-haired Maria wearing a variety of sleep suits, was taken down by eBay within 30 minutes.
Prosecutors are now assessing if the migrant will face criminal charges after he claimed not to have seriously listed the advert.
Klaus Moennicks, 70, the chairman of the Christian-Democratic Union of the Rheinhausen district of Duisburg where the family lives, said: "I am of the opinion that this must have legal consequences.
"If the parents believe that they cannot provide the child with proper care, we have the possibility in Germany to give the child up for adoption or to give it to a foster family."
Moennicks added that "selling a baby and human trafficking are absolutely the wrong way".
Youth services report that little Maria's health is surprisingly good and she is "physically well".
A spokesman said: "This has also been confirmed by the medical authorities.
"The child is currently housed in a nursing family, where she will remain until the whole situation is clarified."
They added: "The parents are currently are currently under the watch of social services.
"According to them, it is still possible Maria could eventually return to her parents - if it can be proven the parents are not criminally liable."

London, Feb 17 (ANI): The teenage belly dancer who is believed to have slept with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has cashed in on the scandal by appearing in an Italian TV advert.
Karima El Mahroug, 18, strips to her underwear in a commercial for The Female Labyrith, a book by a former MEP, reports the Daily Mail.
In the advertisement, the dancer, whose stage name is Ruby the Heart Stealer, attacks the "regime" and claims Italian society has been "stripped bare" by the government.
She initially appears in a red dress but a man dressed as the Phantom of the Opera emerges and rips it off, leaving her in nothing but her black underwear, to emphasise the message of the ad. (ANI)

This is probably my second review but I loved the ending. It's nice that after a few dozen chapters full of bloodshed that a happy ending is right around the corner. Good job. I definitely recomend you make this into a book or at least become an author. You just migjht be the next Stephen King of horror.
| wrestlefan4 chapter 21 . 10/10/2008
Yay! This story was absolutely fantastic! the ending was great, and it seemed such a perfect ending I can't wait to read your next fic!
| Caycee chapter 17 . 10/10/2008
Oh it was a bad internet connection. Well anyways good chapter and I hope to read the rest of this deliciously spooky story. If Brian doesn't kill Evil Chris first. I will. No one does that to my Matty.
| TheVampireLucinda chapter 21 . 10/10/2008
I'm glad that Chrissy is still okay...and that Matt and Bri survived. *smiles*
That was excellently written, poetically dark and gory and...pretty beautiful. XD Perfect.
If there was a rating system, I'd give this story 5 stars out of 5. Or maybe 6. Looking forwards to your next fic!
| Dark Kaneanite chapter 21 . 10/10/2008
Hun that story was one of the best that I have every read, and I don't even read horror stories. It kept me captivated from start to finish, I couldn't even look away during the gory scenes, and the nights sleep I lost was well worth it.
And thanks for the Taker cake, now if I can only find a Kane shaped one, my collection will be I can't wait to read your new story. Much Love!

| Edward's Josie Black chapter 20 . 10/10/2008
You have NO idea how happy I am they at least made it out alive (although it's needful to add a "for now" in Chris's case). I'm so proud. *sniffle* I do hope Chris makes it...
*reads on*
| wrestlefan4 chapter 19 . 10/10/2008
OH! You actually make me pity Chris and I don't like him, but I feel so bad for him, poor guy. I hope he makes it. Can't wait to see if Matt does too or if he is left consumed by the darkness. It would make for a nice sequal though. Can't wait to read the rest, you have me on the edge of my seat! :D
| wrestlefan4 chapter 18 . 10/10/2008
E! This is awesome! I kind of wish Brian was the one going nuts though, I mean Chris did have sex with him before to keep him warm and it seemed like they had something going on. Maybe it's just because I like matt and would like to see him the god guy, lol. But mabye Brian can still save Matt? Or maybe there is no happy ending, maybe Brian dies and Chris and Matt stay in the assylum to wait for their next victims. Oh! If they don't die, you should so make a sequal where some other wrestlers go there and stuff. I just like this story a lot and don't want to see it end. You're really good at horror writing. But I'm going to shut up now and go on to chap 19. Yay!

The Pyramids at Giza
Giza Travel Blog› entry 3 of 6 › view all entries
Yusuf reminded us that an early start was not in our favour since the pyramid complex opens only after 8:00 a.m. in the morning. It was 6:45 a.m. when we had breakfast and went through the details of what our sponsor wanted us to pay attention to during the pyramid visit. Yusuf was kind to remind us that there will be many 'buses' and many 'peoples'. Yusuf always used the plural, I could not understand why, but what mattered was that everyone understood what he was saying. He smiled continuously revealing a broken canine took and a rotten lower front tooth. It was quarter to eight when Yusuf finally invited us in his 'limousine' with that charming smile. The drive was flawless until we got to the gates and saw the large crowds, from beyond the expanse of desert was amazing to see. The view of the Pyramids came in sight and I could feel my heart racing (don't ask why, excitement perhaps?).
We were to start with the Pyramid of Kufu, but we did not: we did not pay entry fees, our hosts took care of everything. The entrance fees include a tour of the pyramids and the great Sphinx, we did visit the great Cheops Pyramid too. What stroke me as peculiar was when we went to visit the Cheops pyramid there was an eerie feeling inside and the sound inside that amounted to almost a loud murmur sent chills down my spin. I don't know if it is the spirit of the dead rising to sound their disagreement with people making their resting place a play ground. From my history lesson, I learned that the Pyramids were actually homes for the Pharaohs that bridged both life and death ( in the now and the after life). It is incredibly hot, well humid is the right word inside the pyramid, I was soaking wet by the time we left Cheops, very peculiar feeling inside. I told myself I have been there, done that I would not go back again only because I felt uncomfortable inside. So much mystery surrounds this place.

(Corrects fourth paragraph to say the divesture will reduce, not add to, EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow)
April 18 (Reuters) - U.S. power company Calpine Corp said it will sell six power plants in the U.S. Southeast to LS Power for $1.57 billion in cash to focus on the wholesale power markets and better align its asset base.
The power plants together generated about 3.5 gigawatts of capacity in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and South Carolina.
With none of the plants restricted to any project debt, Calpine expects the deal to result in net cash proceeds of about $1.53 billion.
The company said the divesture is expected to reduce its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization by $100 million and cut its adjusted free cash flow by about $70 million in 2014.
"Today's announcement represents substantial progress toward the achievement of one of our top strategic priorities - the monetization of our Southeast portfolio," Chief Executive Jack Fusco said.
Following Friday's sale, Calpine will retain ownership of four natural gas-fired power plants in the Southeast totaling 1,738 megawatt capacity in Arkansas, Alabama and Florida.
The company said it will seek opportunities to monetize these assets.
Friday's deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014.
As part of deal, LS Power has agreed not to trade in Calpine's stock until the close of the transaction. (Reporting By Kanika Sikka in Bangalore; Editing by Marguerita Choy)

A late goal from rookie forward Ryan Johnson gave Real Salt Lake a 1-0 victory over FC Dallas in a Reserve Division match at Pizza Hut Park on Sunday. The Hoops had the better of the chances throughout the game but were unable to finish any of them and were left to pay the price as Johnson got his second goal of the season.
The day did not start well for the Real Reserves as starting forward Jamie Watson was forced the leave the game after just seven minutes because of a hamstring injury. Adam Acosta was summoned to replace the Dallas native up front alongside Johnson but pairing failed to challenge FC Dallas' keeper Ray Burse Jr. for much of the opening 45 minutes. At the other end of the pitch, Real's second year goalkeeper Jay Nolly had a little more to do. Abe Thompson had a pair of good chances and Blake Wagner had one as well, but Nolly was equal to the challenge on each occasion and the game remained scoreless at the half.
The second half began much brighter for FC Dallas and it nearly got its reward just before the hour mark. A long clearance from the back by Drew Moor forced Nolly to race off his line to try and clear the danger. However, he collided with one of his defenders as he tried to get the ball away, allowing the ball to fall to Dax McCarty 30 yards from goal. His first time effort was blocked in the box by Nelson Akwari, but the ball fell back to McCarty who settled it this time and attempted to lob his shot into the still vacant goal, only to see his shot carom off of Nolly's left post. The rebound fell to Oduro who was able to get off a shot, only for Nolly to have retreated in time to make the save on his goalbound shot, keeping the score 0-0.
Following McCarty and Oduro's near misses, the game appeared to be heading to a scoreless draw, only for Salt Lake to grab a late winner through Johnson. Willis Forko broke up a Dallas attack and quickly played a long ball down the left for Johnson, catching the FCD defense on the counter. Johnson raced onto the Forko pass and got behind the defense before slotting a left-footed shot underneath Burse and just inside the far post to give Real a 1-0 lead and eventual victory.
In addition to losing the game, the Hoops lost three players to injury during the game. Alex Yi left midway through the opening half with a hamstring injury while Justin Moore and Dax McCarty were removed in the final 15 minutes. Moore took a knock just above his left eye and McCarty picked up an ankle injury. All will be evaluated next week by the team's training staff.
The FC Dallas Reserves are back in action on Sunday, April 23 when they take on Kansas City at Pizza Hut Park. The Real Salt Lake Reserves, who are now in first place with four points from their first two matches will look to make it two wins in a row in their next game against Los Angeles on Sunday, August 30.
Scoring Summary:
RSL - Ryan Johnson 1 (Willis Forko1) 84'
Misconduct Summary:
RSL - Atiba Harris (Yellow Card) 27'
FCD - Justin Moore (Yellow Card) 53'
RSL - Ryan Johnson (Yellow Card) 70'

When we heard that Obama was coming to Jacksonville, we knew we had to go. I haven't seen a president or candidate live since Reagan came to Jacksonvlle in 1987.
The man himself was scheduled to speak sometime after 2:30 and the gates were opening at 12:30. We knew that it was likely to fill up quick so we got to the stadium (to park, it's across the street from the park where the event was held) at about 10:30. It's a good thing we did -
That was just a small portion of the line. It wrapped around itself several times.
The atmosphere was very friendly and excited, very similar to a sporting event - a lot of people wearing the team colors, a lot of vendors selling t-shirts and buttons, an air of anticipation. One difference was the campaign volunteers handing out info cards and asking for everyone to fill them out. One more piece of Obama's very good grassroots organization.
They finally let us in and we settled in for a long wait. There were a lot of people crowding around the stage -
but we had no intention of standing like sardines for 3+ hours, especially with 5 kids in tow, even if it did mean a better view. We settled into a nice dry spot on top of a ridge under a tree.
At about 2:30, the event finally started up. Some local people spoke, Bill Nelson spoke, a volunteer spoke. We couldn't hear anything as the speakers weren't set up well for the back of the crowd. I was worried that we wouldn't hear Obama. After the speakers finished, the crowd got a little restless. It ended up being another hour or so before the Obama bus rolled in. By this time, everyone had been waiting for about 5 hours, with nothing to eat. The campaign had a lot of water available, so that was ok, but no food inside the park, so we were all starving. We found out later that the park had been filled to the legal capacity, which was about 12,000, and over 8000 were waiting outside.
Finally, Obama came up to the podium. Fortunately, the legal capacity allows for a lot of breathing room, so we were able to come down and compact the crowd and get relatively close. It was really neat listening to him speak in person, even though I had already heard most of the stump speech. Tori listened attentively to the whole thing and told me she was really glad we came. She's starting to really pay attention to politics, for a 12-year-old. We could see Obama, although he was a bit distant. Here's my zoomed in pic -
All-in-all, a neat experience, and I'm glad we went. It also whetted our appetite for some volunteering which I'll address in the next post.

I hope you never end up with a handicap. If so, I guess you will not be allowed to drive.
We're both christians who are striving to honor God with our relationship and our children.
So which is it? Do you honor God or are you a bigot with a problem with handicapped citizens? You can't have it both ways.
Sounds to me like you just need to relax and chill a little bit.
Sorry bud, but you asked for that one. Your pastor would be ashamed of you.
August 25th, 2005, 10:02 PM #3
I have never noticed this but then again I don't drive in a large city much. I don't think you would not want to have the ability to travel about if you were handicapped.

That bumper sticker is for those non-handicapped people who get mad when actual handicapped people park in handicapped spaces. (means they can't)
August 25th, 2005, 10:38 PM #6
The only way I'd ever put one of those on my car is if rudeness and inconsideration for other drivers is a handicap, then I might think about it.
I think people with small minds that aren't accepting of others are also handicapped in their own way...

How can you be so sure that your fellow ABW affiliates or affiliate managers aren't working from a wheelchair? Have you ever thought about that? Did you ever think about the fact that you will not be 20 forever?

Yes I am a christian and do sympathize to those who are in wheelchairs and such -= however there are also laws in place for the safety of others. When I'm driving down a 45 zone and have a person in front of me driving 30-35 I get frustrated. 85-90% of the time it's a handicap or an elderly person. It doesn't matter what I'd "like to be able to do" when I'm old, it just matters whether there's a law for it. Consider this my notion to notify those who fall under these two categories that drive slow that they should go the limit or get off hte road.
That's about all there is to it.

A 45 zone is a maximum of 45. Unless a minimum speed is posted, there is no lawful minimum. Those people pay the same taxes you do to be able to drive and have just as much right to drive as you do.
I know where you are coming from and don't think for one minute that I haven't been stuck behind someone wishing they would at least drive the frickin speed limit. I have. We ALL have. But for you to say that being handicapped means you should not be driving is not only in bad taste, but unless you are a congressman or a senator, it is not for you to say.
Let's see, say you were behind this person for five miles at 35 mph instead of 45 mph. That sets you back about 30 seconds at a quick guess. Suppose this person is handicapped because he took a bullet in WWII or Korea or Vietnam or Iraq. Are you so incredibly disrespectful that you would deny this person their right to drive because you can't spare 30 seconds???
Do you not live and abide by a code of helping and accepting your fellow man? If you are indeed a Christian you do. Otherwise you are a poser.
It's all good. I am done here. I only attempted to make you see a point about calling oneself a Christian and actually living a Christian lifestyle. To be a true Christian means practicing at least a small amount of patience.

August 26th, 2005, 01:14 AM #11
I would never put one of those stickers on my car either.
What really burns my a$$ is the abuse of handicap parking spaces. People park with proper HC plates or sticker on review mirror and walk just as normally as can be into the place they're visiting. What BS. I surmise they must be handicapped in the head...
I travel full time and encounter all kinds of drivers on the road. In most places I've been people aren't happy unless they are driving 10 - 20 MPH over the speed limit. Do you really think people are too worried about high gas prices? They may ***** but their driving habits show otherwise. Hey, if you are not speeding you'll get ran over.Travelin' Man

The speeding/aggresive/redlight-running drivers cause the worst traffic delays. And the idiots who slow down to 10mph to look at their accidents.
But their are also many whose age has made them unsafe to be on the road too.

I don't know what everyone is in such a hurry for anyway. Just yesterday, I had a woman in an SUV (neither young nor old) pull up next to me (she was in the inside lane) and tailgate the car in front of her. When that car finally inched forward enough, she cut in front of me (NO TURN SIGNAL!) and zipped off like she was a rocket. The speed limit on this stretch of road is 45, she was easily doing 55.
Guess what? At the next intersection, there she was right in front of me! So her rude, thoughtless driving did absolutely nothing to get her where she was going faster, and she used a lot more gas to get there than I did.
Frankly, I think she's either just a b!tch or too damn dumb to be driving a vehicle of any kind. I'd rather have an elderly person in front of me driving slow than an idiot cutting in and out like a maniac.
And what is it with those little foreign cars with the load exhaust, blue turn signals, wings on the back deck, and other assorted cr@p designed to impress? You can tell those teenie weenie little engines are really straining to get up to speed - no wonder so many of those little sh!tmobiles smoke - it's because the engines are shot!

Hmmmm, let's see. In 2003 there were 6,328,000 car accidents in the US. There were 2.9 million injuries and 42,643 people were killed in auto accidents.
Car accidents are the leading cause of death for 15 to 24 year olds and account for a whopping 31 percent of deaths in that age group.
The leading causes of car accidents are:
1. About 40% of car accident fatalities occur because of a drunken driver.
2.About 30% of the car accident fatalities can be attributed to driving above the speed limits
3. 33% because of reckless driving and driving while fatigued that causes the car to go off the road and result in an accident.
Aggressive driving and impaired driving, all of which occurs more often in drivers between the ages of 18 and 20 than among older drivers. In fact, drivers in the youngest age group were four times as likely to be involved in distraction-related crashes or near-crashes than those ages 35 and older.
Perhaps there should be a law that strictly limits drivers in THAT age group, along with stiffer penalties and quicker driver's license suspension for same age group.
I would certainly give serious thought to voting for such a law.Blessed Be,

And I wonder what part of those reckless driving accidents are really due to people who tend to suffer from road rage?? You get stuff like happened to Andy getting cut off just so the driver can get one car ahead by road ragers.

I don't know about the rest of you, but down here in the hurricane state (palm beach in particular) we have our own new breed of annoying drivers. I understand and always sympathise with the handicapped and senior citizens, but when it comes to what my wife conviniently calls pritches (prissy b!tches) thats where my rage kicks in. This kind of handicap is the disabilty to talk on your, blue tooth enabled, $400 phone and drive your $200,000 car at the same time, changing lanes without consideration for any one with a cheaper car....all this to tend to a "tanning bed emergency" IN FLORIDA!!!! I'm sure Andy can relate. Oh BTW....they still flick you off after disrupting your peaceful drive

Well then, how about showing some Christian love and mercy and volunteering some of your personal time to drive some of those people where they need to go. Then they won't be slowing down YOUR streets and freeways any more.
And if anyone is holding up traffic for ANY reason they can get ticketed - handicapped or not.
Frankly, I think she's either just a b!tch or too damn dumb to be driving a vehicle of any kind. I'd rather have an elderly person in front of me driving slow than an idiot cutting in and out like a maniac.
August 26th, 2005, 11:19 AM #22
My own personal driving pet peeve are the people who - when traffic is backed up - use the shoulders or the onramps or merge lanes to cut out then back into traffic up ahead (and always at the very last possible moment... forcing there way ahead in "line").
They like to "pretened" that they were on the onramp in order to scoot ahead of traffic... and I just don't understand why these people think they are SO MUCH more important than everyone else on the road?
How arrogant can they be to believe that they actually deserve to cut ahead of everyone else.

Driving is a full time job.. I take it seriously. There is a lot of pressure and anxiety involved when you are behind the wheel in a high traffic area especially when you have precious cargo (kiddos).
I get aggravated at my fellow drivers as much as the next person... I try to curb it and usually it subsides after about 15 seconds or so.. but it has been my experience that the biggest IDIOT Drivers are NOT the handicap nor the elderly, but the working class folks that are in a hurry to get to work or get to school or get to where ever they are going and are apparently running late.
No doubt there are some elder folks who don't drive well and some handicap folks who may not drive well but they pale in comparison to the number of poor drivers that range from 18 - 40 with no obvious handicaps what so ever. If you ever need proof just do some insurance comparisons between an 18 year old dirver and a 40 year old dirver.. or age in between...Marty Ogelvie

If you want to die in a rat hole, treat the elderly in a dishonorly manner for all your kids to see. Then they will take your lead.
Otherwise, if you want a truely good "retirement" plan, take care of your parents, grandparents, etc, and show respect to the elderly. Your kids will follow your lead.

When Dave and I got married we decided that every year on our anniversary we were going to go away - not always somewhere exotic, but away. Who knows what our next years will bring, but for our first anniversary we were able to sneak away to Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
We invited everyone from our wedding group to come with us....honestly as much as we love spending alone time together we think it's way more fun to have our family and closest friends with us!
We didn't take very many photos this trip....we were way too distracted by the beautiful beach to bring our cameras, and the GoPro was (mostly) busy in making a video!
Thankfully at least a couple of us had phones out and grabbed some quick shots during the fun.
I don't think anything could ever top our wedding trip....it was literally the best time of my life....but our first anniversary was certainly a great tribute to an amazing time.
On our actual anniversary we went on a catamaran party-boat cruise to Dunn's River Falls and snorkeling on a reef. Aside from seeing ridiculously ginormous banana spiders we had a great time. I can't lie, the spiders were terrifying. I definitely sprinted past them to get back to the boat.
Jamaica is gorgeous...and Jamaica is a reality check for Americans. The resorts are like resorts in every tropical place:
1. Beautiful
2. Secluded
3. Nowhere near what actual life on the island is like.
Driving from the airport to the resort was an experience in itself, and as usually happens when we travel we were reminded how good it is to be an American...regardless of the issues our country is facing.
Okay - enough serious stuff...back to the photos and fun of the trip!
If you have the opportunity to stay at a Sandals Resort I would DEFINITELY recommend going on the party cruise! The crew is amazing, and the boat is fantastic.
Sandals Ochi Beach - Around the Resort
The resort was beautiful. Nowhere near as amazing as where we got married (Secrets Silversands, Riviera Maya, Mexico), but still gorgeous. The beach, however, was MUCH more impressive than Mexico.
The reason we didn't have too many photos from our trip is right here....we decided to make a video instead!

Utah Legislature lauds Mormon church's welfare system
Andermart Pullman, WAOct. 4, 2011 7:40 a.m.
The Welfare Program of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints is really an outstanding example of leadership, of ingenuity and of social reform. With this program, dignity and self respect have been preserved for an incredible number of families who have fallen on hard times, and it has been the means of lifting many tens of thousands additional individuals from depression and other side effects of unemployment and hard knocks. In this program you see caring, you see renewed opportunity, you see quality food production, and you see self respect thriving. A great burden is lifted from the government and from these families.
There is still some abuse of the system, which some individuals feel is their right, but for the most part, this is a true program from our maker, with blessings for all who participate.
CHS 85 Sandy, UTOct. 3, 2011 10:46 p.m.
For a group who abhors government spending, you have no problem bringing legislators in from far and wide, paying their per diem and salary so they can pass non-binding resolutions. If it was a Democratic legislature doing this, or anohter state, you'd be howling.
...and no, I don't think the state needs a state firearm, but I agree the Browning M1911 automatic pistol was a revolutionary firearm. I wish I owned one. I probably know more about weapons than you will ever know, having worked on aircraft weapons, including hydraulic and chain driven gatling guns, as well as personal firearms for many years, yet I am still a Democrat. See, I don't have to be a stereotypical tea partier to like guns.

"they spend a lot of time passing resolutions and such"
I take it you didn't approve of Utah Governor Gary Herbert signing a bill into law that designates the Browning model M1911 automatic pistol as the official state firearm. It was, by the way, an excellent choice.

Reflections on Success
The Our Time campaign surpassed the $50 million goal nearly two years ahead of schedule, with one-fourth of those contributions coming from alumni. This report highlights many of the campaign's accomplishments as well as several personal stories of people who played a part in our journey to the finish line. Their stories represent thousands of others equally powerful and equally significant.
Our Stories
What's your Oglethorpe story – the moment you realized that Oglethorpe was the right place for you?
Maybe it was the first time you stepped on campus and heard the bells chime, or maybe it was a "Core moment" when all those hour studying historical texts suddenly made sense?
Read stories shared by members of our community and share your own.Share your Oglethorpe moment!
Oglethorpe University offers more than seventy named scholarships. Many of these scholarships are offered to more than one student and, in some cases, to dozens of students. The value ranges from a few thousand dollars to full tuition, and the recipients are selected based on criteria established by the respective scholarship donor and the university. Some scholarships are merit based (general academic ability or an audition in drama or music for example) while others are based on financial need.
While most scholarships awarded by the university are permanently endowed, some are funded with significant annual contributions. The university has secured donors to fund the full scholarships awarded as part of the James Edward Oglethorpe Scholarship competition. The staff and trustees can work together with donor candidates to add new scholarship dollars which will help as we grow in student enrollment.
Capital Development
Oglethorpe's historic Gothic campus is one of the college's greatest assets – and one of its greatest challenges. These beautiful buildings reflect both distinct architecture and an aging infrastructure.
It's critical that Oglethorpe upgrade some of its beloved infrastructure. Buildings that are impressive on the outside must also perform well, and practically, inside. By contemporizing aspects of its physical core, Oglethorpe can strike a balance between historic beauty and modern relevancy. Planning is underway to bring classrooms up-to-date by equipping them with the technology of modern-day instruction. And to develop and build a new, modern Academic Center that will focus on Innovation, Entrepreneurship and STEM. Oglethorpe's students deserve facilities that reflect the wonderful educational experience that is offered behind these walls. A gift to our Capital Fund will help to preserve the iconic campus that is loved by so many. And, bring to our student's leading-edge, experiential learning opportunities.

USDA: Highest corn acreage since 1936 expected
GRAND FORKS -- Corn, already on the rise in the Upper Midwest, will shine even brighter this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts.
Farmers in North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota will, on balance, plant more corn this year than in 2012, according to USDA's influential prospective plantings report issued March 28.
The outlook for wheat and soybeans, the region's other two major crops, is mixed.
North Dakota farmers will plant an estimated 4.1 million acres of corn this spring, up from the record 3.6 million acres in 2012.
"This is in line with what we were expecting," said Tom Lilja, executive director of the North Dakota Corn Growers Association.
Corn prices have been extremely strong, in part because 2012 drought hurt production in the U.S. Corn Belt. Also, new faster-maturing corn varieties allow the crop to be raised in parts of the Northern Plains where the growing season once was too short.
This year, for the first time, corn grown in some areas of western North Dakota is eligible for coverage under federally subsidized crop insurance, which will encourage more farmers to grow it, Lilja said.
Drought has hammered parts of South Dakota, and farmers in hard-hit areas are expected to plant more acres to crops that require less moisture than corn. Some South Dakota fields also could be planted to hay, which is in short supply because of drought, officials say.
Subject to change
As always, be a little skeptical of the annual report from the National Agricultural Statistics Service, an arm of USDA. It reflects what farmers, when surveyed in early March, said they expect to plant this spring.
The numbers in Thursday's report will affect grain prices, which will influence what farmers end up planting. USDA will release actual planting figures June 29.
"This is just USDA's first shot at it (estimating acreage)," said John Sandbakken, executive director of the National Sunflower Association in Mandan. "There will be some adjustments in what's actually planted."
Weather also will influence what area farmers, particularly ones in snow-heavy northeast North Dakota and northwest Minnesota, plant this spring.
"There's always a possibility of that," Lilja said. "But there's still plenty of time" before planting.
Whither wheat?
Wheat, once the region's dominant crop, has lost acres in recent years to corn and soybeans.
The March 28 report, though containing several positive signs for the region's wheat industry, indicates that trend won't change in 2012.
In North Dakota, farmers will plant an estimated 7.65 million acres, down from 7.84 million in 2012.
That reflects big projected declines in winter wheat and durum wheat acres from a year ago. The number of spring wheat acres, however, is expected to rise to 6.2 million from 2012's 5.75.
A late spring could cause some farmers to plant soybeans on some fields instead of wheat, he said.
Montana farmers are expected to plant 5.48 million acres of wheat, down from 5.77 million acres in 2012.
Gordon Stoner, an Outlook, Mont., farmer and past president of the Montana Grain Growers Association, said final planted acreage could vary substantially from the USDA estimates.
"I'm sometimes a little suspicious" of USDA's initial acreage estimates, he said.
This year, USDA estimates that U.S. farmers will plant 56.4 million acres of wheat, up 1 percent from 2012.
Best guess on other crops
Following are USDA's best guesses on other popular crops in the Upper Midwest:
Sunflowers: U.S. sunflower acreage is pegged at 1.7 million, down from 1.9 million in 2012.
Farmers in North Dakota, traditionally the nation's top sunflower producer, will plant 636,000 acres, down from 860,000 acres a year ago.
The North Dakota estimate seems too low, based on what seed dealers and others involved in the sunflower industry are reporting, Sandbakken said.
Last year, Sandbakken said USDA's initial sunflower acreage estimates for 2012 appeared too low. USDA later raised its acreage estimate, proving him right.
South Dakota sunflower acreage has been rising in recent years, and USDA projects that will continue in 2013.
Sunflower acreage in the state is pegged at 650,000, up from 645,000 a year ago. If USDA is right, South Dakota sunflower acres will surpass those of its northern neighbor in 2013.
Durum: U.S. durum acreage is estimated at 1.75 million, down from 2.1 million in 2012.
In North Dakota, the nation's top durum producer, acreage is pegged at 1.1 million, down from 1.3 million in 2012.
Durum prices are relatively poor, and even boosters of the crop have said it likely would lose acres to more profitable alternatives.
In Montana, the nation's second-leading durum producer, farmers will plant an estimated 480,000 acres, down from 520,000 acres in 2012.
Canola: U.S. canola acreage is pegged at 1.65 million, down from 1.76 million in 2012.
In North Dakota, the nation's leading canola producer, acreage is projected to fall to 1.23 million from 1.46 million a year ago.
Prices for existing supplies of canola remain extremely strong. Prices for canola that will be harvested this fall are substantially lower, though still high by historical standards.
Barley: If USDA is right, Montana farmers will plant more barley acres than their peers in North Dakota, traditionally the nation's leading barley producer.
USDA estimated Montana barley acres at 1 million, up from 950,000 in 2012. More farmers in central Montana are growing the crop, Stoner said.
North Dakota farmers will plant an estimated 950,000 acres of barley, down from 1.06 million acres in 2012.
Barley farmers in the state say alternative crops, such as soybeans, are increasingly attractive.


text: Hello everyone, Back in Sep '12 I started my search for a new car to replace my Indica Xeta, which is serving me well for just under 6 years. I started with Hatchbacks; test drove VW Polo, Hyundai i20, Honda Jazz and also Swift Dzire. No need to say, with numerous choices, there were lots of confusions around selecting a model, petrol or diesel and variants. My wife had a tough time, as I was changing my decisions almost daily. I was just trying to debate on positives and negatives of each car. There was so much of debate, hence we decided to stop thinking about cars for a week or two and start afresh. In the cars I test drove, I liked Jazz and Dzire - was not happy with Polo and i20. Then came a thought why should not I consider a Sedan; because all the Hatches I looked at was premium cars and if I can stretch a little I can buy a sedan. Once I decided to go for a diesel sedan; I looked at Verna, Ford Classic, Skoda Rapid, SX4 and VW Vento. Out of all I liked Rapid and Vento. Dropped Rapid because of service issues I heard and also it has the least futures. So far I did not even thought about Fiat. Since, I have only one choice now I wanted check for any other options. Then came the thought of Fiat Linea - checked Fiat website. Very much impressed with the looks and features. On a Sunday, I went to Fiat exclusive showroom at Hyderabad. Both me and my wife loved the car at the first site (my wife's favorite was Honda City). Unfortunately for us TD vehicle was not available so went to VW showroom nearby. Vento is a very nice car with a powerful engine, excellent interiors and build quality. After driving Vento, this is my perception, I never felt like I was in a sedan. I don't know why! After two days, I got to TD Linea. Car was not maintained well (@ 9K+ on odo) - full of dust and noise. I liked the car. Again started confusion which one to go for, thank GOD at least now it is only 2 cars to choose between. Then came the turning point, I was searching for Linea and Vento reviews (I wanted to read and see videos as much as possible to understand the positives and negatives of both the cars), and came across this wonderful forum. Almost daily I was reading through various threads of Linea ownership and other Linea related threads. This forum helped me in my decision to go for Linea. I have been waiting for this day, as I wanted my introduction only after I book my Linea. Yes, I have booked the Linea 1.3 MJD Oceanic Blue on 8th Dec. Expected delivery time is before Dec end; I will have a better picture by 12th Dec. When I read through many of the threads and ownership reviews; one thing I found, not everybody but many, was they never thought of Fiat first as in my case; but ended up with a Fiat. My apologies if I had bored you with my rantings. Wish me good luck. Regards, Arun

The U.K. Economy in Perspective
On this page we present the salient features of the U.K. Economy since the onset of the Great Recession in historical perspective, where the comparison is with the prior business cycles that we identify in the U.K. We have access to longer time series for the U.K. and we are able to identify four cycles.
The first figure below shows the path of Real GDP and the estimated trend component (see the page on Identifying European Business Cycles) which is the basis for our analysis.
The Great Recession hit the U.K. Economy very hard and highlighted the significant fiscal problems facing the U.K. economy. The U.K. was also a focal point of the financial crisis and its banking system was badly undermined. The following graph plots the percentage change in Real GDP for the U.K. over the post 1970 business cycles and underscores how weak and prolonged this recovery has been. The more recent data raise the possibility that the U.K. is sinking back into recession.
Looking at the recoveries from the trough shows much the same message.
Consumption in the U.K. began to recover after six quarters but has since faltered and is now threatening to decline again. Capital formation did not decline as much as in the 1980 recession, but it recovered only weakly and has now gone into decline again. Residential capital formation has not recovered.
U.K. exports have recovered about as well as in previous cycles. Imports have been slow to respond.
The Role of Government
The U.K. entered the Great Recession with a large stock of outstanding debt, a position that was exacerbated by the fact that it was one of the centers of the financial crisis. The U.K. embraced an austerity program early on. The figure below shows the response as measured by the percentage change in government consumption from the peak of the cycle to the present. This essentially captures the level of Government spending. The final figure shows the change in government spending as a percent of GDP. Because GDP declined sharply this increased sharply at the beginning of the downturn.

Regional overview
Updated to Q2 2017
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) domestic prices throughout Latin America at mid-June 2017 were assessed lower compared with prices in late March, driven by substantial price decreases for the resin and precursors in Asia and in the US.
The exception was Argentina, where PET prices remained steady for the same period. In Brazil, import-parity policies establish Brazilian prices in a close relationship to PET prices in Asia.
North American demand for bottled drinks, preforms and PET resin remained soft but was expected to rise with the peak season for bottled drinks as summer began in the US and Mexico.
In contrast, cold weather and weak economies in Argentina and Brazil tempered demand throughout the production chain. However, the economies of the two countries, as well as PET demand, are projected to recover and improve as the year progresses.
