Click here to read and hear part I of this story
Outside a small backhouse in a section of North Hollywood with no sidewalks, a man stands shirtless. Tattoos cover his body. The ink on his chest reads Clanton 14 — one of the oldest gangs in the city.
LAPD officers are questioning Johnny as part of a probation compliance check. Johnny, is just 22 years old and has been out of prison for a year after serving a sentence for assault and battery.
He doesn't want to give his last name, but says he's got a job at a KFC and attends trade school. He hopes to give up the criminal life.
"It's actually all up to us if you want to change or not, you know what I mean. If you do want to go back and hang out with your friends, you know exactly where you're going to end up," said Johnny.
Within another two years, upwards of 30,000 non-serious ex-offenders like Johnny will end up in county hands. It may be true, they need to decide to change themselves, but many are drug addicts, illiterate and lack marketable job skills.
County mental health officials have been surprised at the number in psychological distress, and many share similar characteristics.
"They probably first got in jail in their late teens, early 20s, and they've had a long history of being in and out of jail for a lot of minor crimes — petty theft, grand theft auto, drug charges — their longest period outside in the community is typically no longer than two years," said Eric Howell, a counselor who works with ex-offenders.
Howell says the county's providing referrals to programs that provide counseling, job training and literacy courses. Some community activists aren't impressed.
To Incarcerate or Rehabilitate?
Outside a recent Board of Supervisors meeting, realignment critics decried a proposal to expand jail space by paying to house inmates at a lockup in Kern County.
The Reverend Lewis Logan said that money should instead go to helping ex-cons. He says realignment is challenging common perceptions of criminals. ??
"If you feel like people are criminals and they really don't bring anything to the table, that they're just going to continue to do what they do, then you want to incarcerate," said Logan. "If you see this as an opportunity for people to come out and be given a second chance to really do something with their lives, to create vision and a future for themselves, you see that as an opportunity."
Last fiscal year, the Sheriff's Department received the lion's share of $112 million in state funding for realignment — mostly for jail operations as people who committed less-serious felonies were sent to local lockups instead of prison. The jail population in L.A. County jumped 25 percent to nearly 20,000 inmates.
Jail Chief Alexander Yim says realignment will eventually force more early releases.
"What I'd like to do is get to the point where the N3 population — the lower risk folks — can be based on good behavior, put out in community-based organization programs to finish out their sentence," said Yim.
But there are not nearly enough programs right now. The probation department has been slow to issue contracts to service-providers.
L.A. District Attorney Steve Cooley maintains all of the prisoners who were in state prison should have remained there, and that California's historic drop in crime was due in part to one of the most aggressive incarceration schemes in the nation. He refers to the name of the realignment legislation when deriding it.
"All the people wearing rose-colored glasses better take 'em off, smell the roses — AB109 is a predictable public safety disaster," said Cooley. Additionally, Cooley predicts a spike in crime in the next year.
The question is whether L.A. will tend toward locking people up — a policy the state pursued for 40 years — or seek another way to end what for many is a revolving door of incarceration.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — A highly successful spring of all-star games for the WKU men's
basketball team's signing class comes to a close this weekend with two in-state
players in action.
Hilltopper signee guards Taveion Hollingsworth and Jake Ohmer are set to represent
the Bluegrass in the annual Kentucky-Indiana All-Star Classic series.
The series begins Saturday with a game between the states' best at Bankers Life
Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. They'll meet again Sunday at the Frankfort Convention
Center in Frankfort, Ky.
Hollingsworth – a 6-foot-2 guard out of Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in
Lexington, Ky. – earned an automatic spot on the Kentucky squad as this year's
Kentucky Mr. Basketball award winner.
Hollingsworth has already had a standout spring on the all-star circuit, earning
most valuable player honors in both the Derby Festival Basketball Classic and the
Ohio-Kentucky All-Star Game.
The guard was also named the Kentucky Gatorade Player of the Year. He's the sixth
Kentucky Mr. Basketball in WKU history and the first since Elizabethtown's Steffphon
Pettigrew in 2007.
Ohmer, a 6-foot guard out of Scott High School in Taylor Mill, Ky., previously
competed this spring in the KABC East-West All-Star Game.
The guard had a storybook run through this year's Kentucky state basketball
tournament, scoring 106 points across three games and leading his squad to the
semifinals before falling by one point to eventual state champion Bowling Green. His
106 points in three games tied him for the 13th-most ever scored in a single
Kentucky state tourney.
Ohmer received the Larry Conley Ultimate Teammate Award at the state tournament and
was also named to the all-tournament team.
Other all-star appearances this spring by the Hilltopper signing class include
center Mitchell Robinson in the McDonald's All American Game and Jordan Brand
Classic, guard Josh Anderson in the Iverson Roundball Classic and junior-college
guard Jordan Brangers in the NJCAA Men's Basketball Coaches Association All-Star

I'm thinking of buying an EOS for my wife as summer runabout (budget about £6k so looking at 2010/2011 models) but my local garage advised me not to, saying the convertible hardtops are nothing but trouble and they always go wrong. He advised getting a softtop instead. The idea of a softtop in the winter is less appealing than a hardtop so before I abandon my quest for an EOS I thought I'd ask whether that advice is true. Obviously anything can go wrong, but are these roofs generally troublesome? If not is there anything I should look for when buying to reduce my chances of getting a dodgy one? Thanks
They are such a liability and nightmare that my business partner in the office has vetoed us working on them after one tried to kill me! I had it plugged in on VCDS to diagnose a fault and it suddenly decided to fold back with the boot shut and the side windows open, new glass is a lot of money and it goes everywhere, then it reversed and tried to cut me in half against the screen frame. They really are a liability, leak badly, suffer sun-blind rattles that mean taking the thing off and all sorts of switch issues. I remember going into our local dealer when they fist came out and I bumped into the service manager who I know, he was a broken man from dealing with multiple Eossuusssus (what is the plural of EOS, Eii?) under warranty with roof problems. To take the system off you need lifting gear and special support props to work on them, I hate them.

Vile Invention
Dark was that day when Diesel conceived his grim engine that begot you, vile invention, more vicious, more criminal than the camera even, metallic monstrosity, bale and bane of our culture, chief woe of our Commonweal. How dare the Law prohibit hashish and heroin yet license your use, who inflate all weak inferior egos? Their addicts only do harm to their own lives: you poison the lungs of the innocent, your din dithers the peaceful, and on choked roads hundreds must daily die by chance-medley. Nimble technicians, surely you should hang your heads in shame. Your wit works mighty wonders, has landed men on the Moon, replaced brains by computers, and can smithy a "smart" bomb. It is a crying scandal that you cannot take the time or be bothered to build us, what sanity knows we need, an odorless and noiseless staid little electric brougham.

Iron Fist season 1: Who is Bakuto? Is The Hand villain a Marvel comic book character?
MARVEL'S Netflix series Iron Fist introduces a mysterious member of The Hand known Bakuto. But who is he and what is his connection to the Marvel comics?
Who is Bakuto?
The mysterious Bakuto (Ramon Rodriguez) is introduced as Colleen Wing's (Jessica Henwick) martial arts sensei.
Bakuto initially presents himself as someone who wants to help the Iron Fist in his fight against criminal organisation known as The Hand.
He teaches Danny Rand (Finn Jones) how to harness his powers to heal Colleen's poisoning and offers him refuge in his sanctuary.
The mysterious Bakuto left viewers questioning if he was based on a comic book character or not
But the two-faced man is soon revealed to be the leader of an off-shoot of The Hand, responsible for locating orphans and training them as warriors.
After Danny escapes his sanctuary, Bakuto strikes a deal with Harold Meachum (David Wenham) and starts syphoning money out of Rand Enterprises.
After a big confrontation towards the season's finale, Bakuto is seemingly stabbed to death by Danny's friend Davos (Sacha Dhawan) during a fight.
But as Danny and Davos argue about the moral ethics of killing a wounded man, Bakuto's body disappears, suggesting he still might be alive.
If this is true, fans of the series could expect the villain to return in the second season of Iron Fist.
Bakuto is revealed to be working for The Hand after he takes in Danny
Does Bakuto appear in Marvel comics?
In the comic books, Bakuto is only a minor player who appears briefly in the Daredevil comics.
He was the Daimyo, or leader, of The Hand in South America who challenged Daredevil's leadership as an outsider.
But Bakuto did not last long in the comics because his plan to kill Daredevil is interrupted by White Tiger kills him instead.
Bakuto seemingly dies at the end of Iron Fist but his body disappears which means he could be back
Is Iron Fist returning for season two?
I think they didn't want to start it straight away into the Defenders, and wanted to save it for series two
Finn Jones will return as Danny Rand, the Iron Fist, in the Netflix series Defenders later in 2017.
British actor Sacha Dhawan, who played Danny's friend Davos and potential nemesis Steel Serpent, hinted a second season will come.
He said: "The crux of Danny and Davos' story I think really begins towards the end of season one, and I think they didn't want to start it straight away into the Defenders, and wanted to save it for series two."
A second season of Iron Fist has not been confirmed by either Marvel or Netflix.

Swazi Trails has believed in what is now called "responsible tourism" for much longer than the term has been in popular use. Looking back over the years these have been some of our highlights:
School in a Bag
During early 2012 we again saw a way to help our favourite community at Mphaphati, which was through facilitating a donation from a great crowd in the UK, who raise funds to put together basic stationary kits for under-privileged rural school children. We helped to collect, transport and distribute 260 of these bags and it was a great day with plenty of smiles.
Read more about it here: School in a bag
Young Heroes
Over the years Swazi Trails has a number of interactions with Young Heroes – an NGO that focuses on providing support to child-headed homesteads in Swaziland.
In 2011, we decided to focus our existing support for the Mphaphati community, which has stretched back in to the early 1990's, through Young Heroes. We had approached the community elders to ascertain what would be the greatest impact we could achieve with our annual donation to their community. Our contribution to Mphaphati stems from from the fact that our white-water rafting operation passes through this area and the people here have been warm and supportive hosts.
It was highlighted by the community that there were a number of child-headed families within the community and knowing Young Heroes expertise in this field, we approached them to ask if their support network could be spread to cover Mphaphati. This they accepted on the back of our Swazi Trails commitment to donate E 15.00 per person for each participant on our white-water trips to Young Heroes.
Operation Smile
During 2008 we assisted Operation Smile with their mission in Swaziland. Founded in 1982, Operation Smile is a non-profit organisation of medical professionals who volunteer their time and skills to do reconstructive facial surgery on children all over the world. Swazi Trails partnered with them to provide transport over a period of 5 days to pick-up and drop-off patients and their parents at various locations across the country. It put a smile on our faces to be able to assist and we know for sure that it put a smile on a number of children's faces, like never before.
Food for a Year
As organisers of the Swazi Xtreme 2006 (an annual adventure race that Swazi Trails organised from 2001 to 2010) we came into contact with Tiger Brands a large South African company that produces and markets Jungle Oats. They were looking for events in which their two celebratory athletes Bruce Fordyce and David Vlok could compete in, for a reality TV program – "Vlok & Fordyce on the Run". The challenge was that if they succeeded in whatever challenge they undertook, then Jungle Oats would donate food for a year to a primary school.
Well, we liked the idea and got fully involved. So much so that we convinced them that the beneficiary school really needed to be in Swaziland and not South Africa, and that just in case these two super heroes didn't survive the whole Swazi Xtreme, which had a more than a 50% non-finisher rate, that they have their challenge split into 3 stages. Tiger Brands were a great sponsor and they agreed to put up Food for a Year for 3 primary schools, IF their team managed to tick off any of the designated checkpoints.
The rest is history – Bruce and David, together with Lisa de Speville and Evan Price, finished the entire event. Bruce, a winner of a record number of Comrades Marathons, still rates this as the single hardest thing he has done in his life… and three Swazi Schools received food for a year.
Swazi Trails played its part in assisting to deliver the food to each of these remote rural schools, which became quite a logistical mission in the end, dodging rain storms and negotiating washed-out roads. The three schools were Etjebovu Primary School in the Ngwempisi Valley, Engwenyameni Primary, up in the mountains above Malkerns and Mphaphati Primary down on the Great Usutu River. We chose these schools on the basis that each of these communities had shown us great hospitality with one or other of our events in the past and this was a way of returning the favour. So from September 2006 until August 2007 our Swazi Trails bakkie headed off loaded to the hilt to make these much appreciated food drops. Great opportunity – great impact.
Mphaphati Primary School
Back in "19-voetsek" when after the umteenth time our rafting transport vehicle was dug out of the mud with the help of community members from Mphaphati, we decided we really needed to find a way of returning these acts of assistance and generousity.
Hence we initiated a small "levy" on all our rafting trips, such that each person contributed a small amount to a community fund. This levy is buried in our overall fee structure and many participants weren't even aware that their fun in the sun was making a difference to lifes in the area.
After much discussion with the traditional leadership of the area, through Indvuna Samson Dlamini, we agreed that the one institution in the area which all families interacted with in one way or another was the primary school. So we accummulated funds over time and were able to assist with firstly the purchase of school text books, thereafter the building of an office building for the school administration and final to the costs of an accommodation unit for teachers.

Pakistan earthquake: Visiting an island that did not exist a few days ago
The BBC's Aleem Maqbool has visited an island that was created off the coast of Pakistan by an earthquake on Tuesday.
It is one of the largest islands created this way for decades; the sea bed was raised when two tectonic plates pushed together.
Fishermen noticed the new body of land about half an hour after the quake.
It is about the size of a football field, and rises about 20 metres (65ft) above sea level.
Aleem Maqbool said there was already rubbish on the island from people who have begun visiting it.
The island could disappear within a year.

November 28, 2016 "Take a Patriot to Work Day"
Twice a year we participate in George Mason University's, "Take a Patriot to Work Day," a local job shadowing program for undergrad students. On Friday, November 4th, we were lucky enough to have two students from George Mason visit the pond. They spent most of the day with us learning about our company, participating in meetings, and providing feedback on our website (which is currently being redesigned). Here's a glimpse of their day at LeapFrog Solutions, Inc. (LFS):
The Job Shadow Program at LFS was an amazing experience and opportunity for me. It has helped me better understand the world of marketing and design while enabling me to ask questions I had about entering this industry. More importantly, my job shadow experience made me feel like a valued member of the LFS team, even if just for a day.
As with many other professions, there are countless specialties to focus on in the field of marketing. As a senior at George Mason University, graduation was approaching, but I still wasn't sure which area of the profession I wanted to work within. For two years, I had been building experience in the digital marketing realm, but hadn't been a part of the creative side of marketing, such as graphic design. Therefore, I thought that job shadowing might be a great opportunity—and it was!
During my job shadow experience, I had the amazing opportunity to sit in on a meeting to discuss recent technological innovations and their implications for businesses and individuals alike. I participated in the meeting and was truly inspired by the idea that creative meetings can be beneficial for all employees in an organization, without having to talk specifically about client projects.
The entire LFS staff was very inviting and included me in on the discussion and asked for my opinion on specific issues and revisions, especially with their website. Feeling like I had input at the table was very valuable and rewarding and is something that I wish other students are able to experience before graduation. Because of my job shadow experience, I have a positive outlook on my future profession and a better understanding of the creative side to it.
Marissa Andrick
Senior, George Mason University
My experience at LFS was very informative and beneficial to me as someone who is thinking about a career in the field of graphic design. Starting with the ideation meeting, I not only observed but also was engaged in the meeting. I, along with another fellow Patriot shadowing, was able to provide input as well. As I took a tour around the offices, I was able to see what a typical day is like for many different fields in a small company for advertising and marketing, including art directors, project managers, business development, and many others. Everyone was very welcoming and were more than happy to share their experiences and give useful advice for a young job seeker like me. The environment of a small company was very attractive to me, where everyone knows each other and get along very well.
I learned so much from my one day at LFS about every aspect of a small company and how everyone works separately but also works together. My favorite aspect, as someone who is interested in art and visual technology, found the creative overview, website activity, and talking with the art and creative directors Sophocles and Tom the best part of the day. I learned about the ideation process by seeing a project from the beginning to its current state. I also learned how to further improve communications both internally and externally at LFS by assessing the current company website. The company truly cares about their clients and do whatever they can to "Make your Message Matter," and I admire that. Overall, my experience at LFS was very fun, engaging, and informational! I am thankful for this opportunity and will definitely keep in touch!

If you are a small business owner, then there are very high chances of you losing your potential customers due to a poor website design or failing to optimize your website. SEO is an important aspect for your business just like any other processes. The main goal of SEO is improve the visibility of your business in search engine results thereby attracting potential new customers to your website and retaining existing customers. If you are a small business based in Melbourne, then search online for Search Engine Optimization Melbourne to get a list of SEO specialists in and around Melbourne.
Once you get the list of SEO service providers you can then choose the firm that suits your requirement. Here are a few points you should consider before hiring a firm for your SEO needs.
1. First you have to decide on the short term and long term goals for your business. Only then you can decide on the purpose of hiring a firm, the amount you are willing to spend on your website design, the budget you can allocate for SEO and the time frame for the project.
2. The next step is to identify a SEO firm that offers a suitable package for you. Different packages have different types of benefits. Choose the package the fits within your budget as well as helps to achieve your business goals.
3. Familiarize yourself on the various SEO techniques and ensure that the firm you are dealing with does only white hat SEO. Other fraudulent practices can lead to your website black listed and thereby making it fail to appear in search engine results.
4. The next step is to question the firm about their techniques and also have all your queries answered before beginning the process. Be wary of firms that do not satisfy your queries to your satisfaction.
5. Always choose a company that has a good reputation among previous customers. Never go for the company that offers you the lowest quote.
Remember that SEO doesn't give instantaneous results but when handled properly can help in the growth of your business.

I've lived — and eaten — in Brooklyn for the past five years. Five years in one borough has been just enough time to pinpoint my go-tos and, unfortunately, see some of my favorite restaurants shutter. By this point, I've had plenty of time to return, try new menu items, and see if they continually impress.
Ahead are the restaurants that I've gone to on multiple occasions — for after-work drinks, birthday dinners, and brunches — and they've never let me down. While all of my favorites are located in northern Brooklyn, it's no disrespect for the rest of the borough, which I'm now beginning to explore as part of phase two in my Brooklyn explorations.
My top picks are all also within a relatively low price range — the highest is a pizza for $25. I suggest you split that with good friends.
Best burger: Blue Collar in Williamsburg
It's at Blue Collar where I first fell in love with peanut butter milkshakes. One of those, along with a cheeseburger, make for a perfect late-night snack after going out in Williamsburg. You won't find any frills at this place — it's just a simple burger and hot dog joint. Prices range from $3.25 to $7.25.
Best pizza: Speedy Romeo's in Bed-Stuy
Speedy Romeo's pizzas are prepped in a wood-fired Italian pizza oven and have the perfect crust consistency. Their signature pizza, The Speedy Romeo, is made of grilled dough, green tomatoes, house-made ricotta, basil, and lemon.
If you're a fan of s'mores, their "chocolate cake" dessert — made almost entirely of a massive, fire-branded marshmallow — is to die for. Prices range between $6 and $78.
Best pasta: Eva Jean's in Bed-Stuy
Eva Jean's interior doesn't feel like it should be in Brooklyn — its colorful decor, plants, and fireplace ring more West Coast to me, but Brooklynites seem to love it.
Since the menu changes seasonally at this farm-to-table restaurant, I've tried multiple dishes, including the chicken breast with rutabaga purée and Swiss chard, but I will never forget the cacio e pepe pasta dish I had there twice in 2015. Prices change seasonally.
Best sushi: Samurai Mama in Williamsburg
There's something about the tartness and consistency of the rice in Samurai Mama's sushi rolls that keep me coming back. My favorite rolls include the AB Crunchy, which consists of boiled shrimp, cucumber, tempura flake, and spicy mayo, and the Una Avo, made with BBQ eel and avocado. They also serve ramen and udon.
Their lunch special, which includes soup, salad, and a choice of two sushi rolls for $13, makes this a great alternative to the more traditional brunch. Otherwise, prices range $6 to $16.
Best Southern comfort food: Jimmy's Diner in Williamsburg
Jimmy's Diner is my longest-standing restaurant love in Williamsburg. I've gone here for brunch (generally, there's a wait), lunch, and dinner. Their simple, greasy-spoon diner-style menu includes house-made tater tots, chicken and waffles, and latkes served with apple sauce and sour cream. Breakfast is served all day.
My personal favorite dish is the pulled pork hash, which is topped with a fried egg. If you want pie with your coffee, get a slice of their key lime. Prices range from $6 to $15.
Best California-style Mexican: Calexico in Greenpoint
I've lost count of how many birthday dinners I've attended here. It's a solid place to go with a group and get frozen margaritas. My go-to is the chipotle pork quesadilla with extra "crack" sauce on the side, and a strawberry frozen margarita. The steak fajitas are also delicious. Prices range between $6 to $17, and the service here is outstanding. The runner-up for this category is Lucha Lucha in Bed-Stuy. It's great for take-out.
Best Thai: National in Fort Greene
While pad thai is my usual go-to when ordering take-out, National is a delightful place to sit and eat with a friend. Their Thai iced tea is a sweet, creamy kick of caffeine, and their curry dishes are perfect to take as leftovers for lunch. Other favorites include their pad see ew and, of course, the pad thai. Prices range between $4.95 to $14.95.

Geraldine,I find this a fascinating insight into the probable future. I know you've worked hard to promote yourself on the e-book front and am astonished that the publishers are trying to take advantage of all that groundwork with little thought of the remuneration for the author. I would have thought it would have been much to their advantage to try and negotiate much better terms especially in the light of what some might say is the bleedin' obvious (70% Amazon, 25% publisher – ooh, which shall I choose?).Will this have an effect on your paper printed books going forward? i.e. is the publisher still prepared to do the printed version without the e-book contract?Good luck!
Hi RalphYes it was a case of no ebook surrender on my backlist then no publication of my latest. I felt my backlist was too valuable to wave goodbye to hence this Brave New World of indie publishing!It's a bit scary, but prospects look far more promising than they have ever done. If you're interested in going the epublishing route, you could do worse than read the blog of ebook guru J A Konrath. Amanda Hocking is also an ebook success story.
Why should you feel disloyal? That is a victims attitude (sorry, but true). THEY were disloyal to you. If your work, and continuing to work with you is so valuable, they should have come up with the goods.Good for you in viewing your books and yourself as so valuable and acting upon it. If enough writers do so, then the publishers will feel the pressure to ante up. It's about time.And I hope you sell a boatload of books! 😀
JA, thank you. I thought if I don't value myself no other b—er is going to value me!Many thanks for the good wishes.

I have been going to castle rock for the past year now and have nothing but praise. This latest cleaning was no different and I even had a different hygienist than normal and it went very well. Keep up the good work Castle Rock! Janet F.
The office staff are extremely efficient, friendly, and helpful. The Doctor friendly and speedy. Highly recommend!
I enjoyed my dental experience with Dr. Chris and his staff. Their professionalism and quality were a delight for sure. I have been to other dentists, but never felt as assured and at ease as I was with Dr. Chris & his assistant Jamie! He filled a cavity and readied another tooth for a crown. They both always told me what they were doing and what they were going to do at all times. I left there feeling great and knowing I would never be scared to go back. Everyone in the office have a remarkable way of making you feel at ease and like you are among friends.
Lynette P.
I can't say enough for the wonderful care I received! The entire team was understanding of my fear of going to the dentist. Their support during my visit was amazing and I had quality work completed. So impressed!
I love them and even gave my dentist a hug today!
I am so glad Dr. Kania is back in the area. I have been looking for a permanent dentist since he left Necedah. He is very professional and yet friendly (with a good memory of past patients and their families). The office staff were all very friendly and professional. I do not like dentist visits but I am glad to know that Castle Rock Dental is there for me when I need it.
I recommend this Dental office over all others, everyone there is looking out for your best interests and treats you like one of the family and not just another customer (patient).
I was a new patient to Castle Rock, and plan to stay. Every part of my two dentists appointments were great.
Had 4 cavities filled. Done very quickly and painlessly! Dr Kania very courteous, highly concerned about his patients needs!

Winter Whale Watching, The Tubes, Natural History of the Anza-Borrego Region
Events December 19-December 25, 2019
Various Authors noon, Dec. 14
Two press conferences were held today pertaining to charges against current and former members of the Sweetwater Union High School District.
At 10:00 a.m., district attorney Bonnie Dumanis announced that charges were filed against five people stemming from an investigation that culminated with raids on the homes of officials on December 20.
Former Sweetwater superintendent Jesus Gandara, former Sweetwater boardmember Greg Sandoval, and current boardmembers Pearl Quiñones and Arlie Ricasa are charged with perjury, filing false documents, and using their "official position to influence a governmental decision in which [they] had reason to know [they] had a financial interest."
The former program manager for Sweetwater's Proposition O and Southwestern College's Proposition R bond construction, Henry Amigable, is charged with "giving a bribe" and "obtaining a thing of value to influence a member of a legislative body."
During the question-and-answer period, Dumanis referred to the corruption as "systemic and pervasive." She said that the investigation is continuing and that a hotline will be established later this week to solicit tips that could further the investigation.
Sweetwater interim superintendent Ed Brand called a noon press conference at which he announced that he has suspended all activities with Seville Group, Inc., the construction company that has been overseeing Sweetwater's Proposition O construction.
Several weeks ago, the San Diego district attorney's office executed a search warrant on SGI's Pasadena offices. According to a December 20 Union-Tribune article, Jaime Ortiz, the program manager for Proposition O, said he was informed that his company was "not a target" of the investigation.
At the noon press conference, Brand said that Proposition O construction would continue and would be overseen by Sweetwater's in-house facilities staff and by the County Office of Education.
Brand, who was Sweetwater's superintendent from 1995 until 2005, said he came out of retirement to try to put the district back on course. He said he has been part of many great times at Sweetwater, "but today is not one of them."
Although the alleged corruption cleanup went forward today, discontent continues. Karen Thompson, a teacher who was in attendance at the press conference, stated: "There needs to be more indictments. We need a new superintendent. We need to clean house."
Fran Brinkman, one of the people who brought this investigation to the DA's office, said at the press conference that she is still not satisfied. She continues to call on the district and boardmember John McCann to release "the Vega report," the product of an investigation into the district's controversial use of public relations professional Scott Alevy.
Pictured: Ed Brand
Help me to understand this. The superintendent said that the district will now use their in house staff and the County Office of Education to oversee the bond O construction. Question: Why weren't they being used all along? Wouldn't we have saved a lot of money since we already pay for these public employees? We should permanently keep the pay-to-play business model out of the public service sector.
imagine all of those tax dollars that might have been saved - lets see that is 20% of 644 million - that is a whole lot of dollars.
You are so correct and that is what a lot of people have asked this board for many meetings. If we are going to hire an outside firm why do we need in house people working on this? I think Dr. Brand should be doing what SWC is doing and that is admitting there are things going on and conduct an internal investigation, oh wait he can't do that he is part of the cover up....
angryinsb: Or you could ask, if you already have the in-house people, why hire an outside firm? And, you are so correct, the interim-superintendent, Dr. Brand can't conduct an objective investigation. With everything that's happened, the public is feeling like no one in this district's administration can be trusted.
It's time for the attorney's office to go beyond this point. Good: searches, affidavits, indictments. But--the limited scope of searches and indictments compromises the investigation. Time for this investigation to stop being selective.
If the corruption is as "pervasive" as Bahnee said, then why is the investigation not looking at two more board members, and a host of other players? Methinks that she is going to limit this, and would have preferred to avoid it altogether. But when the corruption was as blatant as this was, publicity forced her hand.
But still, who'd a thunk it? She actually files dozens of felony charges, and actually goes after Gandara. It would be so nice if that sweetheart buyout he got from the corrupt board could be voided. No more unearned pay, and no CalSTRS pension either. Whooee! Nah, nevahappen.
Today's Light News has the piece reporting on this mentioning that BD credits that paper and its so-called Watchdog reporting as having gotten the ball rolling. WE know that the Reader and the redoubtable Susan Luzzaro were revealing this stuff long before the U-T ever made any mention of it.
Let's see if this prosecutorial effort now goes after Southwestern College, which looks just as corrupt in its own fashion.
what about the audit that is currently under way of the prop o monies? is it going to be as superficial as the previous ones? what will they be auditing, how in depth will this audit be?
john mccann, WHERE IS THE VEGA REPORT?
jim cartmill, john mccann: what about the late contributions to your campaign fund? - you were voted in in 2010 - why did some vendors/contractors continue to donate monies into your campaign in 2011?
Visduh, I'm not sure if you heard the dumanis press conference in its entirety but it was interesting when people asked her some of the same questions you are asking.
Thank you for compliment. The Southwestern-Sweetwater continuum has been a long journey--and it's not over yet.
Let me second Visduh in complimenting YOU Susan...the UT rode your coattails on this story and Dumanis is now using it to forward her doomed mayoral campaign (prosecuting ONLY democrats, as usual).
Having read some of the documentation, I cannot see how McCann wasn't indicted too...any thoughts?
would like to piggy back on both of your compliments and add the following - those in the community who began the revolution against the corrupt board often used Ms .Susan Luzzaro's historical articles for information and data.
she was their own little google search, ha ha
seriously, this should show all of us, truth will always prevail; even though sometimes it takes a very long time.
I think there are many unresolved issues and the investigation needs to be expanded. The investigation should also focus on whether the construction work was performed by illegal aliens, and whether the contractors paid all required social security, medicare, disablity, and other employment taxes to the state. A large percentage of construction workers in San Diego are paid in cash under the table. When the state identifies under the table wage payments, the cases are supposed to be referred to Dumanis for prosecution. I don't think Dumanis is doing anything about this problem because she relies on contributions from the construction industry to fund her campaigns.
Fred and annie, I very much appreciate your comments--it's important to know that people are reading and thinking about these issues and hopefully that translates into something better for all.
Fred, your question about McCann--and for many people the other board member, Jim Cartmill, is a question that I have heard from many, many people. I have heard that there is more coming down--in terms of warrants. I have heard that it's all is simply in the reporting of donations and gifts. And, of course, there is a lot of discussion about the mayoral elections.
For now, separate from what the district attorney's office will or can do, I think it's important for all of us to use the county registrar of voter's financial disclosure site. The contributions and contributors to Ricasa, McCann and Cartmill in the 2010 elections should be looked at when considering the unfolding Sweetwater travesty.
i would like to respectfully add, if one looks at the voting history of john mccann and jim cartmill it is clearly defined that they voted in favor of those contractors and seville's change orders (management company) EVERY SINGLE TIME. never a question asked by any of the board members, with the exception of board member lopez. she would ask and then the eye rolling and smirks by the other board members and 'the gandara' would begin - those in the audience were appalled at the other board members blatant disrespect towards her.. compare those votes to the contrbutions reported on the registrar of voters website.
dr. brand is now stating that the district will run prop o - i am a bit confused as the paperwork indicates the 'cookie monster' has eaten the remaining 50+ million. what is also confusing is this, we paid seville to manage prop o and yet we had close to 10 district personnel working on the prop o as well. why? while the cfo stated at the november board meeting that 100% of those districts salaries were being paid by prop o, i am skeptical.
Time to start looking for the good people who were stepped on, damaged by the larcenous pigs. Who was forced out b/c they would not play criminal games with these folks? What redress is correct? This is where the press can help.
John Q,
That's an interesting perspective. I can be contacted through the reader site by just clicking on my name...then there's the DA's hotline.....

The data type charset implements sets of characters (see Characters). Because the internal representation of character sets is not visible to the user, a lot of procedures for handling them are provided.
Character sets can be created, extended, tested for the membership of a characters and be compared to other character sets.
The Guile implementation of character sets deals with 8-bit characters. In the standard variables, only the ASCII part of the character range is really used, so that for example Umlaute and other accented characters are not considered to be letters. In the future, as Guile may get support for international character sets, this will change, so don't rely on these "features".

When you're selling a home, two things that you want to consider are going to be whether or not you should use a realtor, or if you should sell the property yourself. This article is going to focus on the benefits of using a real estate agent to sell your home properly. It's essential that you look at it as an investment.
While it's true that you are going to pay your realtor a commission for doing the work to sell your home, you're also going to see a high return. There have been plenty of people with all the resources to sell their property, but they've still turned to realtors directly because it saves money in the long run. Take a look at some of the benefits of using a realtor.
Professional Help
Regardless of if you're buying or selling a home, having a real estate broker is a top-notch decision. When you're purchasing a home, the agent is going to guide you through the entire process. If you're selling your home, the realtor is going to implement marketing strategies that are going to allow your home to sell quickly, and for top dollar.
Realtors have specialized training that enables them to know what's coming next. That means you and your real estate agent can strategize together to save money, and call the next negotiation. In addition to that, real estate agents pay high fees, so they have access to all the data that's needed to make educated real estate decisions. They are going to share this information with you.
Aside from expertise, emotionless negotiating is one of the top reasons that you should invest in a real estate agent. The buying and selling process is daunting, and even more so when it comes to something you have emotional ties to. During the negotiation process, it's easy to get upset, and sometimes also offended. Your realtor is there to act as your rock, and create a scenario that allows both the buyer and the seller to win.
There are always problems, whether big or small, in real estate transactions. When you allow a realtor to do your negotiations for you, you're ensuring that everything gets done correctly, and eliminating the chances of ending up in court.
For Sale by Owner
Before the internet, it was much easier to sell your home without the assistance of a real estate agent because it wasn't convenient for buyers. However, with today's technology, it's never been easier to shop for homes. Within a matter of minutes, prospective homeowners can pull up every house for sale in their area, which gives them plenty of options to choose from.
Statistics show that 90% of homes put up for sale by the owners fail. If you don't have a real estate agent, your house isn't getting listed on the MLS, and it's not getting advertised to possible home buyers who are looking for listings on the internet.
Working with a professional when selling your home is worth more than the few thousand dollars you're going to save by selling it yourself. With the way statistics are, you only have a ten percent chance of selling your home, you're going to net less, spend personal money on marketing, and not reach the amount of people that you'd like.
Process Understanding
Unless you're a realtor yourself, there's a high chance that you're not consistently surrounded by the different scenarios of real estate transactions. The realtor that you're going to hire is going to make sure that you understand the process.
Once you've hired on a real estate agent that you trust, they're going to let you know what happens next, what they're going to do, and what you can do to make your home more desirable, and possibly increase the value. For example, if your realtor feels like you should make some home improvements to increase the value, they are going to let you know. By listening to your agent, and considering their advice, the process can be much more comfortable.
When you're buying or selling a home, you have hundreds of thousands of dollars that's at stake, so making a mistake is out of the question. By using a realtor, you are lowering your chances of making mistakes that could cost you a lot of money. Real estate agents have strict guidelines and check-in protocols that they follow to eliminate the chances of errors. When they're involved, it's their reputation that's on the line, too. The firm that the agent works for is going to demand that the paperwork gets fixed if there is any discrepancy. That is going to protect your transaction.
Ultimately, deciding to sell your home without the assistance of a real estate agent is a huge risk that could end up costing you a lot of money. You're risking losing out on additional money from the sale, and you're risking putting yourself in court. When you sell as an owner, it's impossible that you're going to know what trained specialists know, and attorneys miss out on proper paperwork all the time. People turn to realtors because of the resources that they provide. Use the reasons above to help guide you towards an informed decision.
Have you ever used a real estate agent? What was your experience like? If you sold your home, would you enlist the help of a realtor or sell it as the owner? Start a conversation below.

From improved sanitation in the developing world, to self-driving cars and quantum computers, the potential for tech to change the world is mind-boggling. On a micro scale too, there are many gadgets and apps that can help you make a difference, writes Oliver Haenlein.
The food sharing revolution is here "No less than a third of all the world's food is wasted, while households in the UK alone bin over £12bn of edible food every year. Households throw away 20 per cent of their weekly shop on average, at a cost of £700 per year" explain OLIO co-founders Tessa Cook and Saasha Celestial-One. OLIO is a food-sharing app that looks to do something about these stark statistics.
While the sharing economy has seen peer-to-peer based sharing become all the rage – the success of Air BnB is testament to this – the same can currently not be said for food.
"Our response," says Tessa, "is a free app connecting neighbours with each other and with local independent shops to share their edible surplus food. This could be food nearing its sell-by date in stores, spare produce from the allotment, goodies from an amateur baker, or the groceries in your fridge when you go away. Users simply snap a picture of their items and post them on OLIO for their neighbour to collect."
Such initiatives are important for businesses as well as individuals, since food waste is the world's largest greenhouse gas emitter after the UK and China.
"Good food goes uneaten, while half a million people in the UK used a food bank last year," adds Saasha. She tells Salt that they realised they were not alone on finding these figures uncomfortable reading: "Before embarking on the mission, we needed to check that others agreed. The answer was a resounding 'yes'. An OLIO/YouGov poll of 1,610 people revealed that 86 per cent of respondents were 'bothered' by throwing away their edible food, while two-thirds felt that households are primarily responsible for addressing the problem of food waste. Maybe we were on to something.
"Next up it was important to validate the idea that people would share and collect food as we'd hoped, so we created a WhatsApp trial among 12 early adopters. Come the end of that successful two-week experiment, we were convinced, and set about building the product. In July this year, OLIO launched in the App Store and on Google Play in a pocket of North London.
"Before long, a grass roots mix of local individuals and merchants were sharing their surplus food via our platform and a 'word-of-mouth' phenomenon quickly took hold."
OLIO then climbed to the top of the UK app store, and was named Tech City News' download of the week. Their little startup was gaining popularity fast, and proving that UK consumers are not content to sit by and watch the current rates of food waste continue.
"Of course it is early days and we have a long way to go to realise our vision of bringing OLIO to communities across London, the wider UK and cities around the world," says Tessa. However the signs are good for OLIO, an exciting example of how innovation within technology and the shared economy can help us to work towards a sustainable society more in tune with our planet.
5 apps helping to change the world
Balu is a browser plug-in, and soon to be an app, which helps you make ethical choices when you shop online. It's attempting to spotlight the companies doing business in the best possible ways, as the plug-in allows the ethical choices to jump to the top of your results when you search for products on Google, Amazon or ASOS.
A typical European car is parked for 92 per cent of the time, according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, while each carries just 1.5 people per trip. Initiatives like BlaBlaCar are therefore much needed, as they connect passengers who need a lift with drivers who have spare seats. The BlaBlaCar community is now in 19 countries and has 20 million members.
Hastag climate allows 'influencers', people with significant online followings, to mobilise their fanbases to bring about real environmental change. Influential users subscribe to certain environmental issues in which they have an interest, and are then sent relevant causes and notifications with calls to action, which they can share with their followers, sending vital environmental messages to hundreds of thousands of people.

Eccentric Training and Overload
One of the most important advantages of flywheel training on the kBox is its ability to provide eccentrically overloaded training in a safe, practical and efficient way.
Your muscles are stronger in the lengthening (eccentric), the phase of its motion, as compared to the shortening (concentric), phase.
Training the eccentric phase has strong scientific support, the most important being increasing total strength and hypertrophy. As many injuries occur during eccentric contraction, eccentric training can also greatly reduce the risk of injury for elite athletes as well as rehabilitation clients. Eccentric training is also shown to transform muscle into a faster phenotype.
In regular strength training with weights, the load in the eccentric phase is limited to how much the weaker concentric phase can lift. As a result, the eccentric phase is rarely loaded to its maximum, and the training loses efficiency.
Training with focus on the eccentric phase is called eccentric or negative training.
Eccentric Overload
Eccentric overload is when the eccentric force is larger than the maximal concentric force.
To reach your maximal force in the eccentric phase, you need to apply some method to get eccentric overload.
In traditional strength training with weights, achieving eccentric overload is challenging from both a practical and a safety point of view. The traditionally applied methods include:
- Help from training partners with lifting beyond your max in the concentric phase, as well as controlling yourmovement in the eccentric phase. These methods are often time-consuming and have a high risk of injury.
- Using certain weights stack machines, for example, leg extension by using both legs up and only one leg down, which is not a very functional movement.
- "Cheating" using auxiliary muscle in the concentric phase, but you often get less efficiency in the concentric phase and also increases the risk of injury.
The Flywheel Advantage
With flywheel training, eccentric training and heavy eccentric overload have never been easier or safer.
Using the kBox you can use our methods to perform eccentric training with overload without help and also without the risks associated with traditional methods.
If you decelerate the flywheel in a shorter time than the acceleration phase, you will produce a higher eccentric force. You can also produce force in the concentric phase with auxiliary muscle and only use certain muscles in the eccentric phase to overload them. Read more.
With the addition of the kMeter wireless feedback system, you can easily measure the eccentric power and overload.
Eccentric training is getting safer and less practically challenging as flywheel training gains momentum across the globe.

Don't say I didn't warn you
Hello, you.
What kept you, darling?
These days are brighter now.
With someone to be adorable for.
You are not, just,
You are you, and you,
You are plenty.
You words made my day.
You're bold and true,
How I Love your..
Your declaration, your
Words of profession.
And you say, I'll make you fall..
That beating in your heart,
The one that trembles and reaches outward;
That there is what life is meant for.
Don't let my lips reach you.
Don't tempt me.
I'll take my time,
Trust me darling one:
By the time I'm done..
You'll know your true weakness;
Is not where my touch goes,
But whom you shudder for.
And when you go forward,
I'll steady you,
With arms around your waist.
Go, be amazing darling one.
And when the danger's gone
Even still, be careful.
Wherever you may be, I'm there.
Be careful, come back home.
To me.

Validation and longitudinal application of the WHOQOL-HIV questionnaire among people living with HIV and AIDS in Limpopo Province, South Africa

Validation and longitudinal application of the WHOQOL-HIV questionnaire among people living with HIV and AIDS in Limpopo Province, South Africa
Igumbor, Jude Ofuzinim
The rate of HIV infection in South Africa remains high despite the continued efforts to prevent its transmission. Conversely, the rate of AIDS related mortality has been on the decline since the country introduced its comprehensive care and treatment plan. Among other things, the comprehensive plan seeks to coordinate activities to prevent further infection and facilitate health and social support services for the infected and affected. Despite this, South Africa has an increasing number of people living with HIV (PLWH) and is home to the largest population of HIV infected people in the world. Consequently, there is a growing shift of focus of HIV/AIDS response programmes from issues of survival and death prevention to the quality of survival of PLWH. This point accentuates the need for patient evaluation of their wellbeing and quality of life in the context of the country's HIV/AIDS response services. There are HIV-specific quality of life assessment tools like the WHOQOL-HIV, but these tools are subject to cultural variations and have not been validated across South Africa's multicultural society. The available tools are often too long and cannot be used in routine care and support of PLWH. In the absence of validated and efficient quality of life assessment tools, there is over reliance on biomedical markers of HIV/AIDS like the CD4 cell count and viral load. These biomedical indicators do not provide a complete view of the impact of the disease given the multidimensional consequences of HIV and AIDS. With the above background, this study sought to firstly explore the health related quality of life (HRQOL) and the experiences of PLWH in seeking care and support services, and secondly, to validate the ability of the WHOQOL-HIV instrument to measure the health related quality of life of PLWH among the three cultural groups in Limpopo Province over a specified time period. The study was divided into two, with the first and second studies using qualitative and quantitative research approaches respectively. Both studies divided their participants into three groups, with each group representing each of the three main ethnic groups in Limpopo Province (Pedi, Tsonga and Venda). The qualitative study used focus group discussions (FGDs) iii to solicit information and grounded theory to guide its participant selection, number of FGDs conducted and the interpretation of its findings. The second study was a longitudinal follow up of participants in the three groups from the point of treatment initiation over 12 months. In the second study, there were three points of data collection (baseline, six and twelve months). The participants were conveniently selected and interviewed repeatedly with the WHOQOL-HIV and MOS-HIV instruments. The study findings were mostly presented in tables and t-tests and ANOVA were used to compare quality of life scores in different groupings while correlation and limits of agreements were used to establish instrument validity. Item-total correlation coefficient and alpha if item deleted, was used to explore the possibility of shortening the WHOQOL-HIV instrument in an attempt to suggest a shorter and more user friendly version of the instrument. The key findings of the qualitative study are that the quality of life of PLWH in Limpopo is determined by three groups of factors (physical, mental and external). The frequency and severity of these factors are determined by the participants' duration on treatment, disclosure of their HIV status and socioeconomic status. The physical factors were mostly constituted by biological symptoms of the disease. The most commonly cited symptoms were diarrhoea, pain and fatigue. The study also noted marked differences in the occurrence of the symptoms through the trajectory of the disease revealing four main stages: pre-treatment; treatment initiation; early treatment; and treatment maintenance stages. The study also noted that the impact of the determinants of the quality of life on an individual is influenced by intervening factors which can be altered by a set of modifying factors. In all, the quality of life determinants identified by this study replicates those that constitute the WHOQOL-HIV instrument. This finding hence obviates the need for the modification of existing quality of life instruments to suit the three South African ethnic groups investigated by this study. The quantitative study showed high reliability of the WHOQOL-HIV among the three ethnic groups with alpha ranging from 0.79 to 0.94 in the six domains of the instrument. The study iv also showed that the quality of life varied by socio-demographic characteristics such as ethnic group, sex, marital status, number of children, employment status and membership of HIV/AIDS support groups. The observed difference reflects poor financial capacity and activity tolerance across the various categories of the participants and at different times. While significant changes in the quality of life was noted between the baseline data and the six and twelve months data respectively, little or no improvements were seen between the six and twelve months data. The participants were actually more likely to have a better quality of life at six months when compared to their quality of life at twelve months. In the same manner, the median CD4 cell count and viral load were very similar at six and twelve months but differed significantly with the baseline reports. Over time and across cultural groups, the participants reported lower quality of life in the level of dependence domain and financial support subscale. There were little or no associations between the biomedical markers and HRQOL indicators. In addition, the quality of life tended to increase with increase in CD4 cell count. The validation of the WHOQOL-HIV using the MOS-HIV through a correlation of similar domains and their limits of agreement largely suggests that the WHOQOL-HIV is valid but both instruments are not exact replicas in their measurements. The multidimensional nature hypothesized by the original WHOQOL-HIV instrument study was also demonstrated by the factor analysis component matrix. Attempts to shorten the WHOQOL-HIV proved to be impossible as the items with highest item-total correlation varied with the participants' duration on treatment. In conclusion, this study suggested the needs and factors that contribute to the quality of life of PLWH in Limpopo and how those factors can be harnessed through a set of modifying factors. With this, an individual's quality of life is determined by the delicate balance between intervening and modifying factors. The linkages between the observed determinants of quality of life suggest a vicious circle where one determinant may exacerbate the effect of another determinant. The study also showed that the WHOQOL-HIV instrument is valid and reliable in measuring the quality of life of PLWH in the province. The observed poor to no associations between the health related quality of life indicators and the biomedical makers show that they cannot be direct proxies of each other. Finally, the study discourages any further shortening of v the WHOQOL-HIV instrument on the basis that HIV-infected people are not a homogenous group as their bio-psychosocial needs vary with time and their position along the trajectory of the disease.

Co-founder of Miami-based event group Poplife Aramis Lorie, who has worked in Miami nightlife for more than a decade, said there is no formula for developing the right alchemy when it comes to nightlife scene.
"There are so many variables involved in this business," Lorie said. "People's attitudes change, people's moods change and it's a real organic process -- there is no formula you can draw out that always works."
The crew behind Poplife has its hands in Downtown's Ecco Lounge -- a trendy spot that dishes out fresh beats along with fresh pizza slices -- and the recently opened Grand Central -- Miami's newest live music venue.
And Lorie said the group will continue to seek out new sound and help artists grow in Miami.
"For me it just stems from my great passion for music, wanting to expose people to music that normally is not accessible," he said. "I think it has definitely had a profound impact on Miami's culture. ... At the end of the day, I do this because I love to do it and need to do things that keep me creative and inspired."

Mobile phones are all over the market now. It's quite a challenge to pick one especially if you want a mix of a cool, affordable, relevant and useful phone. In no particular order. Well, you might not know it yet, but Xiaomi's MI3 is most probably one that will fill that void.
I like looking at new tech stuff and every now and then there are some gems that are tucked away. This is one of those gems. The MI3 is from up and coming tech company Xiaomi. In case you didn't know top executive from Google, Hugo Barra, left to join Xiaomi.
This Chinese company has been around for a few years and they started out making custom ROMs called MIUI. Then I guess they just said screw it and made their own phone. Now, I LOVE the MIUI ROM. It's been on my Galaxy S2 for a long time and I have zero complaints about it.
So what makes this phone so special? It has all the latest tech in it. Namely:
- Fastest processor available in the market which is Quad core 1.8Ghz which is faster than most PCs + Tegra 4
- 5 inch screen that claims to work even under wet conditions and even if you're wearing gloves which is maybe a big deal for colder territories, but not here
- 13 MP camera with Sony stuffs
- Normal connectivity stuff like Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth. What's interestingly absent is the LTE feature. They haven't mentioned anything about this yet
- MIUI V5. This is currently what's running on my phone
- 3050mAH battery. This is a lot. SGS4 has 2600mAH for comparison
- Thin as heck
Best thing about all of this is that it's price. $330 for the 16gb version and $410 for the 64gb version. Whuuuuut??? Again, I've been running on MIUI v5 (it's a modified version of Android) for a while now and it's already fast, this phone will only make everything run a lot better.
The only challenge is that it's going to be a challenge to try and find this phone when it comes out sometime in the next few weeks. They sell it at this price because Xiaomi is an up and coming company and they are just building up the MI brand. So once they gain the inevitable fame, I expect prices to maybe go up by a little bit. Better get this while it's hot (and cheap).
For more pretty pictures, go visit their website that highlights the MI3. For more detailed specs, look here (where I compared it with my current galaxy s2 phone).

|Air Serbia adds sixth ATR72 to its fleet
2-3 more ATRs would be nice, perhaps in time for Summer 2016. Mostar, Maribor, Ohrid, and maybe Naples or Trieste could be new destinations, as well as increasing some of the better performing regional destinations. Either Split, Dubrovnik, or Pula could go year round.ReplyDeleteReplies

Couldn't agree more. Please, please bring online check-in. JU is one of the few airlines that doesn't offer this functionality. Even though people enjoy their inflight experience, they also value their time. Higher yield pax don't want to waste time at the airport because they have to do last century type of check-in.Delete
Also, online check-in will cut your costs. And given that JU lost 14 million euros last year (so-called 2 million euros profit - 16 million euros paid by the Government), you do need to start lowering your costs!
Bring online check-in! This should be your top priority. I wonder how much WiFi instalation is costing, and how much revenue it will bring JU.

They need the entire regional fleet overhaul. This is a good start, they should eliminate 72-200s and 7373s.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous18 May 2015 at 10:16
Should they add some additional frequencies on some routes in daily waves. We know that they will probably replace B737 on routes to Zagreb/Ljubljana but it seems they will have enough planes for some additional frequencies in daily wave like Tirana or Banja Luka.ReplyDeleteReplies
- Anonymous18 May 2015 at 11:12
Nope, the Atr will be exclusively used as a replacement for the B733. No new regional frequencies will be added especially since Etihad wants to reduce the Atr rotations as one of the Atr will have low cycles and will be used as a spare.Delete
- Anonymous18 May 2015 at 11:25
They will not add more frequencies to BNX and TIA because there is no need for that. Cabin load factor to BNX is around 50% for months. ALV was rented mainly because introducing B733s to ZAG, LJU and SOF turned out to be commercially unsuccessful, with large overcapacity.Delete
- Anonymous18 May 2015 at 11:37
With SOF as ATR ,routes with ATR in daily wave are SKP,SJJ,SOF plus TIR 4 weekly (same days there is also BNX). I doubt they will put ATRs on TIV,TGD during summer.Delete
- Anonymous18 May 2015 at 12:00
What are you saying? Sofia is one of the best performing regional route, that's one of the reasons why Etihad proposed for it to stay daily in W15. Same for Bucharest.Delete
To put an end to this discussion, ALV will replace the B733 on flights to TGD, ZAG and LJU.

Cairo was supposed to start but didnt. I guess that will come in the next expansion wave. Another that was rumoured was Munich and a Spanish city (MAD or BCN). Kuwait Airport sent a feasablity study to BEG and Jat in hopes for a direct line to resume, but nothing came of it. Alot of Kuwaitis are visiting BiH, I think it could make an interesting summer seasonal route, which should connect to SJJ.Delete
I think IKA is somthing to consider in relaunching. Apparently JAT had good loads to THR, but alot has changed in the mean time. Im sure VCE would be a good ATR destination.

the burn is more or less the same....doesn't make much difference if say both carry 85 pax. Your operating costs are just about the same. In fact with Boeing which JU owns, you don't pay for the lease, where with Embraer you would have to put money aside for that as well. But then you got maintenance costs which may be higher (maybe) on the Boeing...so more the issue is to replace these routes with a more economical turboprop. ATRs/DH8s.Delete

Alitalia to lease A330s from Etihad
Alitalia (AZ, Rome Fiumicino) will take delivery of two A330-200s next month on five-year operating leases from 49% equity shareholder, Etihad Airways (EY, Abu Dhabi Int'l), the AirFinance Journal has reported.
The twinjets will be used to develop the Italian carrier's growing international network which will see service to the Far East Asian cities of Seoul Incheon, Shanghai Pudong, and Beijing Capital resume after an almost twenty year absence in some instances.
"Alitalia continues to focus on the development of intercontinental routes, in particular to the Far East, the area of the world with the highest growth rates and where Alitalia intends to further invest," Alitalia CEO Silvano Cassano said.
