The presented lists contain the data obtained by our system from the previous car rental requests in Nakhon Si Thamarat Airport, Thailand and the nearby locations. Since the prices depend on the season of rental, the actual prices on the requested date may be different from the represented ones.
A 12-seater is a spacious minivan aimed for transportation of big families or groups of people with large amounts of luggage.
The 12-seaters usually have sliding doors, and a large luggage compartment which can be increased due to transformation of the passenger seats.
Due to the transformation mechanism which is typical of this group of vehicles, sometimes the same model of the car may be assigned to 10 or 11 and even 12-seater minivans at a time. Note! In some countries to drive a 9-seater a category D driving license may be required.
Most of the companies do not provide 12 seaters to drivers under 25. Sometimes a driver must be at least 26 or even 28 to be able to order a 12 seater.
Nevertheless, the age requirements may vary depending on the location, and some companies may provide their 12 seaters even to 21-year-old drivers. In such cases, the company usually demands an additional fee from 21-24-year-old drivers (sometimes even from 25-year-old drivers) – a young driver fee
Anyway, you should always check the exact age requirements in the "Rental Conditions" for a specific 12 seater model.
If your car lacks some options which could be useful during your trip, you can add them when you are ordering. Here is a short list of additional options and equipment you can add to your car if required:
If you want to make sure you get a particular car model in Nakhon Si Thamarat Airport, Thailand, then choose the cars marked with a sign "Guaranteed car model". Otherwise, the rental company may provide you with any car of the same class you ordered, or if there is no car available in this class, the company will provide you with a car of higher class.

Meet user952977, an apparently chronic asker of horrible questions. His questions are so horrible that he managed to get a suspension out of it. That's great! The system is working.
He's been suspended for a year. Those must have been some pretty horrible questions. The earlier question "What could cause users to be placed in the penalty box for an entire year?" suggests that year-long suspensions come only after earlier shorter-term suspensions have elapsed and the user continues to be horrible.
But that year-long suspension is still called "temporary." That wording doesn't seem right to me, even if it might fit the dictionary definition.
Can we find better wording for long-term suspensions?

The Van Billiard Family has a long and interesting history in Lehigh/Northampton counties in Pennsylvania. According to the book"Lower Saucon Township: Images of America, the patriarch of the family, Henry Van Billiard/Verbilger, "reportedly one of the first settlers on Lehigh Mountain." I am writing today about George Charles McClellen Van Billiard. Henry was his 2nd Great Grandfather and George was my Great Grandfather.
George was born 16 July 1865 in Freemansburg, Pennsylvania. He was the 4th of seven children born to Jerome and Ellen(Shick) Van Billiard.
The 1870 Census has 5 year old George and his family still living in Freemansburg, but they will move before the 1880 census because George's Father, Jerome, died on 7 April 1877. This was one day before Jerome's 40th birthday. So the family moved to South Bethlehem, PA. And the 1880 Census has 15 year old George working in the Iron Mill along with his older brothers Albert, 22 and William, 17.
George married Susan Haas in September of 1885. According to announcement in Bethlehem Daily paper, "George Van Billiard of South Bethlehem MARRIED Miss. Susan Haas of Bethlehem, September 19, 1885 in Bethlehem by Reverend Isaac K. Loos.
Next we see the family in the 1900 Census, George is 34 years old and they are living in Easton, PA. they have been married 14 years with 7 Children. The children were Robert, Matilda, William, Mabel, Luther, Raymond and Irwin. November 1st of that year Elizabeth was born. She was my Grandmother. In 1902 Irwin died but Margaret, their last child, was born 14 June. In 1900 George was working as a Telephone Inspector. The 1910 Census has the family back in South Bethlehem and 44 year old George working as an electrican for Electric Light Co.
The 1920 Census was done just days before Susan died on 10 Jan so she was still listed and George was working as a laborer in Bethlehem. In November George,a German Lutheran, would sign for 20 year old Elizabeth to marry Irish Catholic, David William O'Donnell.
I had a death date of 5 Nov 1929 for George, but that went out the window when I found a letter that he wrote to my 7 year old father, also George. The letter was dated Feb 17-30 from New Hope, PA. I found him in the 1930 Census living as a lodger in New Hope working as a Foreman for the Telegraph Line.
So the end of the story is that there is not end because I have not been able to close the books on George Charles McClellan Van Billiard! So the research goes on!

Silverthorne approves $600,000 sales tax reimbursement agreement with Murdoch's
The Silverthorne Town Council approved the final piece of the Murdoch's puzzle last week when it signed off on a sales tax reimbursement agreement worth up to $613,000 over the next eight years.
The agreement, permitted under the town's Enhanced Sales Tax Incentive Program, was passed unanimously on Wednesday, Jan. 22, but not without at least some contention.
Although he voted in favor of the agreement, Councilmember Stuart Sanderson said he would prefer to see future sales tax incentive proposals aired in public to provide residents with an understanding of how the agreement would ultimately benefit the community.
Interim town manager Ryan Hyland said Sanderson's comments refer to the history of the Enhanced Sales Tax Incentive Program, which was first approved in 2001 with the intention of attracting major sales tax generating businesses to Silverthorne.
Since that time, and prior to last week's approval of the Murdoch's agreement, the Silverthorne Town Council has only approved three Enhanced Sales Tax Incentive Program proposals, including one with Target in 2001 and another with Lowe's Home Improvement in 2010.
Under the program's original design, companies like Target and Lowe's could apply for a reimbursement of a portion of the sales tax it generates over the course of an agreed-upon term to offset unforeseen infrastructure costs, such as architectural design changes, installing light posts, updating service roads or adding landscape features to meet the town's community development guidelines.
In exchange for the agreement, companies must generate a certain amount of sales tax each month in order to qualify for its reimbursement, Hyland said. Companies also must be able to define how they're coming to Silverthorne would benefit the public long term, such as by adding more jobs to the local economy.
Although the program was originally designed to attract big box stores, town officials later wanted to expand the program to smaller businesses. It did so in 2011 by lowering the sales tax threshold and by broadening the definition of what could be considered a public benefit.
The first business to take advantage of the new Enhanced Sales Tax Incentive Program was Which Wich in 2013.
In Murdoch's case, the town council approved the sales tax reimbursement agreement because the home and ranch supplier wanted to move into the 40,000 square-foot space left vacant in October 2012 by Bighorn Ace. Murdoch's officials also announced its intention to add 35 new jobs to the local economy.
In exchange for occupying a vacant store and adding jobs, the town council awarded the potential $613,000 in sales tax reimbursements to offset Murdoch's costs of converting what was essentially an indoor lumber yard into a finished retail store, Hyland said, as well as upgrades to the parking lot and installation of monument-style signage that are more costly than Murdoch's more typical "lollipop" signs.
"We see the arrangement as a win/win," Hyland said. "We're happy they're moving into that space — we think it's a good space for them — and we think they are the type of retailer that will be successful and stay in town for years to come."
Rick Ungersma, president of Murdoch's Ranch & Home Supply, said Monday the Silverthorne location is scheduled to open for business Friday, Jan. 31. The store, located at 1241 Blue River Parkway, will maintain the company's normal operating hours of 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays.
A grand opening celebration will take place later this year at a time and date to be determined, Ungersma said.

I got the database snafu from earlier worked out, and so we will be able to get at least some activity going later. The bad news is I didn't manage to get as much of our user info imported as I'd planned. That means our temporary home will be more of a blank slate than I'd hoped. But it'll be something, and I can try to get more moved over for us here and there.
Anyway, the details will come a little later.
Thanks again!

Thrash tinged death metal from Portugal. There are interesting dynamics going on within the songs, like on 'The Slaughter' for example, which starts off with a very thrashy riff, and with an explosion of double bass the song propels forward into death metal territory and finally ends on a slower melodic note. Good stuff.

BockM and Jilhanson:
Searching for Language has given some excellent advice. I suggest that you take it. (It seems to me just like common sense, but it is excellent advice nonetheless.) Don't expect others to do your work for you. (We can help you with the details here.) Also, it is certainly true that you can't expect anybody to give you money if you can't explain why you think you deserve it.
I think this is a wonderul and informative site for studying English.
I think we tend to forget that so called "common sense" is not so common.

Making fishing a family event can be a fun adventure. To get the most out of your trip, follow these tips for fishing with kids.
Make it about the kids: When fishing with kids - especially for their first couple of trips - you might not be hauling in a lot of fish. Try to be patient with the kids and make it an adventure for them, allowing them time to wade in the water, swim, look for insects, frogs and other creatures on the water.
Teach the basic skills: When it's time to focus on fishing, take it slow with the kids and teach them step-by-step what they need to do. Don't bring your most expensive tackle. Bring tackle that you expect the kids to damage as they're learning.
Make it fun: Kids might get bored as they're waiting for the fish to bite. Try to think of some games the kids can play while they are waiting to keep them engaged in the experience.
Be prepared: Make sure to pack sunscreen, bug spray, water, snacks and extra layers of clothing.
Be safe: Make sure adults supervise the kids at all times, especially around the fishing gear and hooks to prevent injuries. Also make sure everyone in the boat is wearing a life jacket at all times.

Yesterday, I had 495 pageviews for my site. That's a new record for Vicious Lies. I know that doesn't necessarily mean 495 people -- I'm still not sure if there is a way to track the number of individual browsers examining my humble comic -- but wowzers. 495. That's almost 500.
I also received a new logo from my older brother, Matt. I've ftp'd it into my random access list, and I'm hoping to see it appear soon... I'm also hoping it fits on the page.
Lummox, I'm gonna start asking you for some html help pretty soon, I think. I've never used the HEIGHT and WIDTH tags, and so I'd like to know how they work before I fiddle with 'em. For example, do they crop the image or resize it? Can you "maintain proportions" or do you have to figure that out yourself? (And so on.)

Voices: A window into troubled lives
Crime reporters often get brief looks at the innards of troubled lives.
Not long ago, I observed from the doorway as DEA agents executed a search warrant on a suspected heroin dealer's drab, one-bedroom duplex in a scruffy Albuquerque neighborhood.
A search is an intimate thing. The agents opened every drawer, peering into the vegetable bin in the refrigerator, under the cushions of the couch and quite literally into the dirty laundry as I looked on.
I scribbled what I saw into a notebook:
"Tile floors, dark blue walls, worn out orange sofas, Fruity Pebbles, Cinnamon Toast Crunch above fridge, Oreos, Doritos, potato chips. Child's report card on fridge. Magnet advertising defense attorney. Last Supper painting in alcove in dining area. Baby bottle on table. Finger paints. Upstairs loft area, no furniture but broken full-length mirror. No bathroom door. Homemade black curtains hung on shower rod to cover door. Huge flat screen TV, XBox. Bedroom painted purple but the paint doesn't reach all the way to the ceiling. Cross over bed. Children sleeping on an air mattress on the floor. King mattress on the floor. "
The words are meant to jog my memory when I sit down to write a newspaper article. I try not to judge. But my notes show I'm judging even as I scratch out a simple list of stuff.
The suspect, 33, lives in the apartment with his girlfriend, 17, her 18-month-old son and his 10-year-old daughter.
MORE: Dealers inject business school basics in selling heroin
Fruity Pebbles. Why don't they have healthy food for the kids? Finger paints. Where are the other toys and books? A flat-screen and an Xbox. Why doesn't he have a proper bed for the children?
I wonder about the 17-year-old. How did she decide that life would be better if she lived with a 33-year-old married man, who is addicted to drugs, instead of with her parents? The 17-year-olds I know went on trips this summer with their fretting parents to visit potential colleges.
The Annie E. Casey Foundation for Children and Families compiles the Kids Count Data Book based on factors such as literacy, health, teen birthrate, poverty and education.
New Mexico ranked dead last in 2013 for overall child well-being. Nearly a third of children under 18 live in poverty, and 36% live in single parent homes.
"A child's chances of thriving depend not just on the individual, familial and community characteristics, but also on the state in which he or she is born and raised," the foundation writes.
The odds in this duplex are not good.
The DEA agents milling outside the house look menacing, armed with long guns and kitted up in bulletproof vests and helmets, but they are quietly discussing what to do with the children. The 17-year-old looks so young that she is twice mistaken for the 10-year-old.
They could arrest her — the house is full of drugs. They won't.
Instead, the lead agent sits down with the girl in a quiet corner and begins to gently ask her questions. It's clear he doesn't see a criminal. He sees a child who needs someone to take care of her.
"Where are your parents?" he asks.
She tells her story matter-of-factly, without tears. She doesn't know her dad. Her mom lives down the street with a boyfriend.
What about your brothers and sisters? he asks. Where is the oldest? She doesn't know where he is. Her favorite brother, she says, is in jail in Las Cruces.
It is clear her options are limited. What looks to me, peering in from the doorway, to be a bad choice, may actually have been the very best choice she could make.

Meditation is the art of silencing the mind. When the mind is silent, concentration is increased and we experience inner peace in the midst of worldly turmoil. This elusive inner peace is what attracts so many people to meditation and is a quality in which everyone will benefit.
Some of the benefits of meditation include:
• Improved concentration - A clear mind makes you more productive, especially in creative disciplines like writing.
• Less bothered by little things - Do you sometimes allow yourself to get upset by little things? It is the nature of the mind to magnify small things into serious problems. Meditation helps us detach. We learn to live in the here and now, rather than worrying about the past or future. We do not worry about meaningless things, but see the bigger picture.
• Better health - There have been numerous studies pointing to the health benefits of meditation. The reason is that meditation reduces stress levels and alleviated anxiety. If we can reduce stress, many health benefits follow.
• Knowledge of self - Meditation enables us to have a deeper understanding of our inner self. Through meditation we can gain a better understanding of our life's purpose.
Renee Oswald, Certified Hypnotherapist, will be teaching the meditation class. Renee is and IHEAL Practitioner, Reiki Master and Access Conscious Practitioner.

Nation & World
GOP-led House is moving to restrict funding of abortions
WASHINGTON — The battle over abortion takes center stage in Congress this week as two House subcommittees hold hearings on separate bills that would expand restrictions on federal funding of abortions.
The "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act" would eliminate tax breaks for abortions. The "Protect Life Act" would restrict use of federal funds for abortions under the new health care law. While both may pass the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, their prospects of passing a Democratic-held Senate or escaping President Barack Obama's veto pen are slim to none.
"They can't expect this legislation to go beyond the House or Representatives," said Steve Smith, a political science professor at Washington University in St. Louis. "It allows the House Republicans to do something symbolically important for their coalition base."
Still, the bills have alarmed abortion-rights advocates, who say they are attempts to attack legalized abortion — federally funded or not — through the tax code and measures to deny women access to the procedure.
"These bills represent a new front in the abortion war," said Donna Crane, policy director for NARAL Pro-Choice America. "The idea...of using the tax code to impose political views, that's extremely alarming."
Opponents of legal abortion, emboldened by powerful support in a Republican-controlled House, say the bills are just the beginning.
"The Republicans in the House are definitely following the promise they made to undo the damage that's been done," said Kerry Brown, a spokeswoman for Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion group.
The "No Taxpayer for Abortion Act," designated H.R. 3 and sponsored by Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), seeks to codify provisions of the so-called Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funding for abortion but must be renewed by Congress annually.
In addition, Smith said his bill would "permanently end any U.S. government financial support for abortion whether it be direct funding or by tax credits or any other subsidy." A House Judiciary subcommittee will hold a hearing on it Tuesday.
Smith's bill stirred a huge uproar among abortion-rights advocates by listing victims of "forcible rape" among those who would be exempted from the bill.
"Forcible rape" wasn't fully defined in the bill, but abortion-rights supporters warned that the term could be used to block access to abortion for rape victims who were drugged, unconscious or mentally ill.
A spokesman for Smith said the term was dropped from the bill Thursday after Smith concluded that the term was being "misconstrued." That wasn't enough to satisfy abortion supporters.
"The fact that it took weeks of public outrage before the new House leadership was shamed into giving up one if its efforts to redefine rape to deny women access to abortion shows how out of touch they are with the values of the American people," said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. "Simply put, the now discarded 'forcible rape' provision is just the beginning of what's wrong with Rep. Smith's bill."
Like Smith's bill, the Protect Life Act, or H.R. 358, sponsored by Rep. Joe Pitts (R-Pa.), seeks to restrict the use of federal funds under the new health care law, but isn't as aggressive in terms of using the tax code. The House Energy and Commerce health subcommittee, which Pitts chairs, will hold a hearing on it Wednesday.
Late last week, abortion-rights supporters turned their attention to Pitts' bill, saying it contains language that would allow hospitals to deny a woman an abortion, even if her life were in jeopardy.
Andrew Wimer, a Pitts spokesman, calls the accusation false. He said the language is an attempt to include in the health care law a "conscience clause" for doctors and hospitals that object to performing abortions.
"These are typical attacks that come up," Wimer said.
Abortion foes both in and out of Congress say they're undeterred by criticism. Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said that taking on abortion would be a House priority under his leadership.
"A ban on taxpayer funding of abortions is the will of the people, and it ought to be the will of the land," Boehner told reporters last month. "The current law, particularly as enforced by this administration, does not reflect the will of the American people."
One of Boehner's guests at Obama's State of the Union address last month was Cardinal Donald Wuerl, archbishop of Washington, D.C. The United States National Conference of Catholic Bishops has endorsed both bills.
Brown of Susan B. Anthony's List said that backing from Boehner and 80 of the 87 new House Republicans will improve their chances of getting legislation through.
NARAL's Crane looks at the diminishing numbers of abortion supporters in the House and the rising GOP numbers in the Senate and worries. While many experts believe a measure to restrict access to legalized abortion couldn't make its way from the Senate to Obama's desk, Crane isn't so sure.
She counts 40 senators who solidly support abortion rights, 46 who oppose abortion — and the rest of them sitting on the fence.
NARAL's strategy for dealing with the changing landscape: "Make sure the White House is the ultimate firewall," Crane said.

UMBC (9-19, 5-10 America East) plays its final game of the 2013-14 regular season when the Retrievers travel to West Hartford, Conn. to take on Hartford (15-15, 9-6) at the Chase Family Arena on Sunday, March 2.
A win would guarantee the Retrievers the fifth seed in next weekend's America East Tournament, its highest seed since the championship season of 2007-08. UMBC could finish fifth, sixth or seventh with a setback. Tip-off time is set for 2:00 p.m. Gary Stein has all the play-by-play action on Q1370 AM (www.q1370.com) and video streaming is available via the America East digital network.
RETRIEVER UPDATE: UMBC played its seventh league game which was decided by six points or less versus Binghamton on Feb. 22 and dropped a 72-70 decision to the Bearcats. The Retrievers, now 3-4 in those close contests, rallied from an 18-point second half deficit and took a brief late lead, but two missed free throws and a pair of offline last-second attempts sent the squad to its third straight loss. FR G Rodney Elliott (14.7 ppg) became the third UMBC DI freshman to surpass the 400-point plateau as he led UMBC with 19 points.

Hello foums!
How are you? I've been wrestling for like about 2 weeks trying to nail this problem.
the Objective:
I am working on a main class that creates another .java, at the desired location.
The idea is to have my original program, which created the .java file to compile and have the cmd execute its .class version which is at the desired location.
Before you suggest there are different ways to have another class executed, the problem I am facing is a necessary one.
I am trying to create a stand alone main class, that doesn't rely in any other code than the one it has on its own. With that in mind, I am trying to add the abbility for the stand alone class to create another main class, and for it to be executed by the cmd.
Its pretty complicated so far. But how I see it, in the big picture, what I am trying to do is probably something out-of-the-box.
Approches I've tried:
Originally I started with Runtime getRuntime() exec(String command), which basically sends a String which is interpreted as a cmd instruction. So far so good. However, I am only able to compile and execute files that are on the same directory or path my original java program is under. That is as far as I can go.
Common sense is to type in the "cd locationofthefile". So I had two Runtime getRuntime() exec(String command) run one receiving the "cd ..." and the rest receiving the command I was prettending to use. Unfortunately, it did not work.
I then attempted to use Runtime getRuntime() exec(String [] command) which is able to receive as much commands I'd like, and unfortunately sort of instanciates another cmd with its own environment per command. So using "cd ..." would not work.
Got back to the Runtime getRuntime() exec(String command) taking advantage of some operator available in the cmd prompt like "&&" to send a single String with two instructions. However getRuntime() exec() sort of "tokenizes" each command, going back to the problem before.
Then I tried just sending a single "cd ..." see if would work and it doesnt. Apparently "cd" is not a program thus it doesn't recognize the cmd instruction. Also attempted to initiate the cmd first, and afterwards send, the "cd... " instruction, and other commands. Seems to me Runtime getRuntime() exec(String command), and Runtime getRuntime() exec(String [] command) are just dead ends.
What I haven't tried:
So others have suggested using a ProcessBuilder, I really haven't tested it much. I am new at managing exceptions, input and output Streams, and understanding subprocesses and that stuff. I am not skilled in that yet. However the logic of using the ProcessBuilder, from what I've researched, is that we initiate the cmd first, then send "cd ..." as a subprocess or inputstream, and do the same with the desired commands.. So I haven't tried this. I don't know how to.
Also I recently found out about another possible solution: System.setProperty("user.dir", String Location);. I am not sure if its a variable from JVM or CMD. What this basically does is change is the directory (the directory that specifies where a .class file is located before executing it through the cmd). My logic is I could change this variable before compiling or executing the next program. I've tried it however I am getting:
I've placed some S.O.P.s so I'd be able to determine if user.dir was changed, and I can see it did. However java was not able to find the file. I am using Runtime getRuntime() exec(String command) to run the desired commands assuming the user.dir value was changed. But apparently it did not work. Maybe user.dir value is being reset by Runtime getRuntime() exec(String command)? Maybe user.dir is not used by the Runtime getRuntime() exec(String command)? I don't know that. I still think I could test some other things.C:\Users\Andrew\Desktop\Wish List>java Mercury
Was file C:\rmwtdvm.java created ? : true
Was file C:\rmwtdvm.java written ? : true
Current working directory: C:\
javac rmwtdvm.java stderr: javac: file not found: rmwtdvm.java
javac rmwtdvm.java stderr: Usage: javac <options> <source files>
javac rmwtdvm.java stderr: use -help for a list of possible options
javac rmwtdvm.java exitValue() 2
java rmwtdvm stderr: Error: Could not find or load main class rmwtdvm
java rmwtdvm exitValue() 1
Finally, what other people say is this: Java Applications and the "Current Directory" , unfortunately.
the code is the following:
[highlight=java]import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
// Code Removed //
Key Points of Assistance
- Please don't tell me to give up, or to try something different.
- Could you briefly explain the ProcessBuilder or any comments on it.
- Maybe you've got some knowledge about the user.dir you'd like to share.
- Any other function I could try?
--- Update ---
I forgot to say, I thank all the people that has been helping me out with this problem. I do appreciate it. I been receiving great support from this community to get this project of mine going.

From Buffalo to Birmingham H&S Weathers the Winter of '77 1awn mowers and crabgrass have replaced snow shovels and slush. Soon everyone will be rushing to the beact|£Giripgiping about the unbearable heat But it will take a bug, hot summer to make many of us forget the brutal winter pi* 77. which sent a chill down the backbones of Americans from Milwaukee to Miami. At HAS being snowed under had a double meaning this year since Mother Nature sent most of her blinding Snow, frigid temperatures and blustery winds during the busy season. Meeting the challenge of those dismal days of winter. HAS people in our practice offices across the country pitted together and managed to continue serving clients under the most difficult conditions. The expression it's either too hot or too cold has special meaning for the people in our Buffalo office. They had barely recovered From an October fire that forced them to move out of their office building for two weeks when the snows came. And nowhere in the country did they come faster or harder than in Buffalo. 1 he worst Storm hit the metropolitan area on January 28, The city, already covered with several feet of snow, was hit with a new layer, and driving winds piled drifts as high as fifteen feet Many HAS people, unable to make their way home in the storm, spent the night at clients, with friends or in hotels PIC A1 While, partners dim Clyde and Dan Carrie, staff accountant John Beattie and receptionisl Karen Stellrecht had to spend the night in our practice office "It wasn't too bad.'' John recalls. '"I here was a restaurant in the building, so we were able to get a good dinner. After that, we just went back to the office and worked on some taxes. 1'hey managed to get out about 11.00 a.m. the next day with the assistance of a telephone company worker who let Al White know which routes were open to traffic. Although Jim Clyde was forced to abandon his car on the thruway and hitch a ride home, everyone got home safely that day. a Saturday The practice office, like most businesses in Buffalo, was closed for several days, but HAS managed to maintain close contact with clients by phone. Most people were able to get to the office for one day soon after the lii^ snowfall and brought work home Even after some of the roads were cleared, there were still restrictions on driving. Buffalo residents were required to ride m car pools of three or more people unless they were providing essential services such as medical care, food or banking, "We are a close-knit office, secretary Wanda Webb said, "so we had no trouble organizing car pools over the phone And some staff members were able to ride in with clients such as bankers who had special passes. It was no! until February 1 1, that things pretty much returned to normal. So while no one in Buffalo was able to maintain business as usual during the storm and its aftermath, people at 11 AS worked to keep the interruption to a minimum and 16 ensure the l>esi service possible to our clients. Two inches of snow on the ground and a temperature of minus five degrees might sound like a mild spring day in Buffalo, but in Birmingham, Alabama they seem like blizzard conditions. Until this year, the record snowfall in that city was the half inch that buried the city during the infamous winter of 1)7. Because of the lack of show-removal equipment and drivers who didn't have snow tires or chains and weren't used to driving on icy roads, businesses in Birmingham were virtually inoperative For two days. Four people were able to make it into the H&S office the first day of the storm and eight the next day With the aid of some tire chains, si aft' members were able to travel to an engagement in Montgomery, which was blanketed in five inches of snow PIC F_d Powers one of the few people in Birming-ham who owns a set of tire chains thought he wouldn't have much trouble get ling to the office after the snowfall. But as he started out of his drive-way his path was blocked, not by a fifteen-foot snowdrift. but by a steady stream of sleds tearing down the hill in front of his house. The children of Birmingham finally got a chance to try a sport that the children of Buffalo consider a regular pastime "After a couple of days the snow melted ami businesses were able to reopen. Ed said, "but I still can't figure out what all those sleds were doing in Birmingham.

Graston Technique
Therapists at Good Shepherd are using stainless steel instruments to help patients recover from injury and find relief from pain. These tools are a key component of the Graston Technique.
Therapists at Good Shepherd are using uniquely designed stainless steel instruments to help patients recover from injury and find relief from pain. With the instruments, therapists can deliver targeted soft tissue mobilization, or massage, at the deepest level.
The instruments are a key component of the Graston Technique®, says Cynthia Bauer, director of Outpatient Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, and part of the therapy team specially trained in the technique.
"Deep instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization breaks up damaged tissue and helps it heal in the correct way," says Bauer. "The instruments contour to the body's shape and allow the therapist to focus treatment. The therapist controls the pressure."
The Graston Technique is part of an overall treatment plan personalized for each patient, Bauer adds. During the initial evaluation, therapists assess whether the technique will benefit the patient.
Many conditions that affect the muscles and tendons can be treated with the Graston Technique. The most common areas Bauer treats are the heel, foot, shoulder, hip, neck and upper back. Patients with tightness around the kneecap following knee replacement surgery also have found relief.
"The Graston Technique has even helped patients with chronic conditions when traditional therapies did not work," Bauer says. "Why live with pain and limitations if you don't have to?"

$1M Scolite sale still set for a vote
Deal remains on Troy council agenda as FBI asks questions about it
The City Council will proceed with a vote Thursday night on the proposed sale of the Scolite site as the two Republican members question whether the $1 million deal should be canceled, the council president said Monday.
"It's still on the docket," said Council President Rodney Wiltshire, one of seven Democrats on the nine-member body.
There are no plans to pull the ordinance authorizing the sale to R.J. Valente Cos., and Wiltshire said it will either pass or be rejected.
The proposed sale has drawn more attention since FBI met with City Engineer Russ Reeves and Corporation Counsel Ian Silverman, who accompanied Reeves in a legal role, city officials confirmed.
The agents asked questions about the Solite development, as well as the actions of Bill Dunne, the city commissioner of planning and economic development, on that project, the emergency demolition of a building on King Street in August 2013 and the paving of a sidewalk on 101st Street in April 2013, sources said.
During its March Finance Committee meeting, the City Council voted 6-2 to move the resolution authorizing the sale to Thursday's council agenda.
Republican Councilman Dean Bodnar said it's time to drop the current Scolite proposal and do another request for proposals. Bodnar was not present for the Finance Committee vote. He and many residents have expressed concerns about truck traffic going to and from the South Troy site.
Councilman Jim Gordon, the other Republican, also has called for a new round of proposals and to ensure that all information is available.
Mayor Lou Rosamilia, a Democrat, supports proceeding with the vote on Thursday.
"There's no reason to believe any wrongdoing took place," said Michael Morris, a spokesman for the mayor.
Four companies submitted proposals to develop the the 5.4-acre Scolite site at Madison Street and the Hudson River. An 18-member city review committee recommended the proposal filed by R.J. Valente Cos.
Joseph Zappone, the attorney representing Valente, took issue with a letter sent last week to the City Council by the lawyer representing Adam Street Properties, of which Don Fane, a local businessman, is involved.
Zappone said there is "no substantial deviation from the RFP at all and in fact that Fane in their RFP was in fact proffering as part of their RFP to install an Industrial Road."
Zappone defended the revocable license to be granted to Valente to clean up and develop the site while the sale awaits approval by the state Legislature; the $100,000 deposit for the $1 million purchase price; Valente also is willing to wait on moving ahead with its project until the state approves the sale; and Valente has won city zoning and planning approvals while addressing the issues raised.

Boulder should accept Turner's buffalo herd gift, but must lower the cost to taxpayers
Buffalo fans got some bad news on Tuesday.
No, not the ACL injury that will sideline CU Buff wideout Paul Richardson (though that news hurts too). We're talking about a report that accepting media mogul Ted Turner's donated buffalo herd could cost the city of Boulder up to $650,000 initially and then $100,000 annually.
When Turner first said he would donate the animals to the city that is home to the University of Colorado Buffaloes (and college football's best mascot, Ralphie), we thought it was fitting. Not just for the mascot connection, but also because the splendid view that already greets visitors as they descend into town on U.S. 36 would be enhanced by the return of the noble beasts.
We'd like to see Boulder officials find a way — perhaps via adding financial partners, be they from the public or private sectors — to accept Turner's "gift" without it being quite so costly to taxpayers.

In a statement issued today, the Ministry of Intelligence continued to accuse journalists of conspiring with foreign media to repeat the alleged "sedition" of 2009, referring to electoral fraud exposed by the media and the protests that followed.
"Iranian officials today confirmed speculations that the government is seeking to preempt independent media coverage ahead of the elections, and expand a crackdown on journalists," said Sherif Mansour, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa program coordinator. "By labeling and targeting local and international media as conspirators because of their work, Iranian authorities are obstructing any independent reporting and effectively discrediting the upcoming elections."
CPJ confirmed the arrest today of Ali Dehghan, the economics editor of pro-reform newspaper Bahar, raising the number of journalists arrested during the past week to 15. In keeping with the ministry's statement, local sources have also indicated to CPJ that there are additional arrest warrants pending against journalists. CPJ ranks Iran as the world's second-worst jailer of journalists with 45 behind bars as of December 1, 2012.

Shakespeare's Ancestry
The only reason we know anything at all about William Shakespeare and his ancestry is because scholars are very interested in him and have made the effort to find out. That is because his writings present a genius who not only had a great gift for story-telling and the ability to connect human emotion to the English language in a way that had never been done before and has not been done since, but also that they revealed a human being with extraordinary qualities. His insights into human life, his ability to laugh, to empathise; his wisdom and his sense of proportion in relation to human life, were astonishingly highly developed. And yet we don't know anything about the man at all – we don't even know his name, really, because appearances of the name in documents over the centuries, including in his own time, ranged through spellings like 'Shaxpere', 'Shagspere', 'Chacsper', 'Shakstaff" 'Shakkespere', but never 'Shakespeare' until it appeared on the First Folio (first edition of his collected plays) as the hyphenated 'Shake-speare'. Shakespeare himself would undoubtedly have pronounced the first syllable of his name with a short 'a', as in 'pack'.
When looking at Shakespeare's ancestry we know something about his parents, John and Mary – in fact, a lot more about them than about their famous son – and we can go a generation beyond that and be reasonably sure about two of his grandparents – his father's father, Richard Shakespeare, and his mother's father, Robert Arden.
Richard Shakespeare was a tenant farmer in Snitterfield, a village about four miles from Stratford. He was constantly in trouble for grazing too many cattle on Common Land then not attending court. In spite of the danger he professed strong Catholic beliefs and we know that because he insisted on them in his will. The aristocrat who owned the land he farmed was Robert Arden. Richard Shakespeare had two sons; Richard and John.
The Ardens were part of a noble Catholic family, the Ardens of Park Hall, whose ancestors had been given land by William the Conqueror. Robert Arden's wife was Agnes Hill. They had eight daughters and Mary Arden was the youngest. Mary was sixteen when her father died and he left her some money and some land in Wilmecote.
John Shakespeare and Mary Arden married and became the parents of William Shakespeare.
Some scholars have painstakingly searched documents going right back, and some possible ancestors of Shakespeare have been spied.
There was a John Shaksper living in Frittendon, Kent, in 1279. A William Sakspere was hanged for theft in Clopton, Gloucestershire in 1284. In 1457 an Isabella Shakspear was the prioress of the Benedictine convent of Wroxall. One of the other nuns in the same year was Jane Shakspear. In 1487 Hugh Shakspere of Merton College, Oxford changed his name to Sawndare because of something he had done which necessitated an incognito approach to life!
And that's about all we know of Shakespeare's ancestry.

Nearly All Chiefs Report for Start of Offseason
KANSAS CITY (AP) - Franchise left tackle Branden Albert was the only player absent as the Kansas City Chiefs gathered Monday for the start of voluntary offseason workouts.
Albert would have become a free agent this offseason had he not received the franchise designation from the Chiefs. He signed the contract worth $9.82 million late last month.
The Chiefs mainly spent their first day of workouts in meetings, where coach Andy Reid laid out the groundwork for the offseason program and the coaching staff handed out playbooks, though several players said they already feel a more positive vibe at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kansas City struggled to a 2-14 finish last season.
The Chiefs also announced they've re-signed reserve linebacker Edgar Jones and released linebacker Andy Studebaker, who contributed mostly on special teams.

Employees of local bus company seek to join union
BENNINGTON -- Employees of the Green Mountain Express may soon become part of the Teamsters Union.
A vote amongst employees is scheduled for May 28, according to Tony St. Hilaire, business agent for Teamsters Local 597, the Vermont charter of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. He said a number of employees contacted the union, have filled out union cards, and submitted an application to join. If a majority vote in favor of that, the employees will have union representation.
"Over half signed cards," he said. "If they all vote 'yes' it will be over 51 percent, we'll have enough to win the vote."
St. Hilaire said it was recently brought to his attention that Green Mountain Community Network Inc., the private, non-profit company that runs Green Mountain Express, hired a "union buster" to convince employees not to join. St. Hilaire said this is problematic because the bus company accepts funding from the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), and according to Title 2,1 Chapter Five, Section 496a. "An employer that is the recipient of a grant of State funds in a single grant of more than $1,000 shall certify to the state that none of the funds will be used to interfere with or restrain the exercise of an employee's rights with respect to unionization and upon request shall provide records to the Secretary of Administration which attests to such certification."
He said he plans to file such a request and have Green Mountain Community Network prove that funding for the "union buster" was not paid for with grant money, or from a pool containing grant money, which he claimed would also be problematic.
"This is being paid for by private funds," said Donna Baker, executive director of Green Mountain Community Network. She said the money was used to hire an "educational consultant" not a "union buster." She said the bus company, like other non-profits, sometimes receives gifts, in this case a bequeathment from an estate, that was unrestricted, meaning the company can use it as it sees fit.
She said a consultant was hired to speak with employees earlier in the week in small groups and individually as needed to educate them on what being in a union would entail. Baker said she expects the consultant will return in the future. Baker would not say who the consultant is, what firm they work for, or how much was spent on their services.
"We don't really have a take on what's going on, we just want to make sure our employees are well-informed on all the facts regarding unions," said Sharyn Brush, president of Green Mountain Community Network's Board of Trustees.
She said the board learned employees were thinking about unionizing on April 25. At its regular monthly meeting, the board voted to hire the consultant. Brush also declined to name the consultant or say how much was spent for the service.
"We are not using state or grant funds to pay for this," Brush said.
She said the board does not feel it is standing in the way of the bus employees unionizing, but helping to educate them. "It's their decision to make and we'll honor whatever option they choose," Brush said.
St. Hilaire said it was the employees who contacted the Teamsters Union about joining, saying they were not happy with the treatment they had been receiving. St. Hilaire would not go into specifics about said treatment.
He said bus drivers and mechanics can join the union, but how many that entails exactly has to be verified before the vote.
According to Baker, Green Mountain Community Network employs 20 drivers, a mix of part- and full-time, one maintenance person, three office staff who drive occasionally, and three people in management positions.
The Teamsters Union represents 17 companies in Vermont, according to St. Hilaire, and union disputes are uncommon.
VTDigger reported earlier this year on the dispute between the Teamsters Union and the Chittenden County Transit Authority which led to bus drivers in Burlington going on strike. St. Hilaire said that matter had been "brewing for years" and since it resolved there have been no issues.
