Garren Bellew needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 50 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
BookaVTN.ie is a website where pepole in Ireland can book their commercial vehicle for it's anual roadworthiness test. The site is live and can be viewed and I urge you to do this. The address is pronounced 'Book a VTN' just to clarify!
I need a logo that reflects the type of business and also the type of client that will use this site. The logo needs to be transferrable to the website, corporate letterhead and business cards. The website will be used by anyone with a commercial vehicle, from a small van to a fleet of articulated trucks & trailers.
- It is an Irish website with an interactive map on the front page so showing off it's 'Irishness' might be desirable, but subtle.
- Shamrocks or leprechauns or anything gimmiky!

About Our Lamb
Our lambs are home grown from our mixed breed flock and also from other local farms within the Blackmore Vale.
Lambs are left with their mothers until they naturally wean themselves to keep life stress free. Local pastures consist of native grass, clovers and herbs, including chicory, which has a long tap root pulling nutrients and minerals from deep within the soil.
Lambs are allowed to grow slowly as nature intended, giving the lamb a naturally sweeter flavour. The abattoir we use is just two miles from the farm, ensuring minimum stress.

Daniel Day-Lewis honoured at Santa Barbara International Film Festival
The actor, who is tipped for success at this year's (13) Oscars for his role in Steven Spielberg's epic Lincoln, was handed the prestigious Montecito Award, and Day-Lewis reminisced about his work during a question and answer session at the event.
Addressing his choice to take roles in several historical movies, the actor admitted, "It certainly was never my intention to kind of claw my way through one century after another. I hope that I might eventually emerge in the 21st century. I've still got a long way to go.
"I've no idea how that happened. It wouldn't have been my intention. In fact, most of the performances that have influenced me have been contemporary performances..."
Day-Lewis is famed for the long gaps between his projects, and he adds, "I cannot do the work I love to do unless I take time away from it. In the time taken away from it when - god forbid - I re-engage with life; It allows me to do the work in hopes that I might bring something to that work."

One item that I was incredibly lucky to procure over the past few years is "A genealogy of Corleys beginning with Caniel Corley of Bedford County, Virginia,: Tracing all lineal descendants of his son, Jonathan Cheathem [sic] Corley" by Dewitt C. Corley (1927). This book is packed with anecdotal information that Dewitt gathered from interviews with kin, in addition to thorough historical research. It has proved invaluable in my search for more information about my ancestors.
I found out about this book after posting a question about one of my ancestors on genealogy.com and just happened to find an original copy after searching for it on Amazon. The book contains extra copies of photos published within its pages.
Not only was this book written by a Corley, my copy was previously owned by a Corley (Elmer "Pat" Corley). One of my favorite passages details the author's interactions with my great-grandfather and great-grandmother, Joseph E. Corley and Ida Champ Ferris Corley:
"The compiler has repeatedly had the pleasure of entertaining him and his wife in his home, and always found them most gracious and entertaining guests. He [Joseph] married Miss Ida C. Ferris, an accomplished and educated woman, who survived him."
The book provides information on when each passed away and where they were buried. It also details the lives of their sons, including my grandfather, Karl Coates Corley, Sr. There is a photo of Ida and Joseph and another of their five grown sons (and I have an original copy of that photo!).
One mysterious find within the pages of my copy was this hand-written poem:
The poem was folded and on the front says "To Mother." Googling the first line of the poem turns up lots of results, one of which can be found here: http://bartleby.com/248/1205.html
I'm fascinated by who may have copied this poem down — it is possible it was written for Elmer's wife. It's also possible that this book belonged to a different owner since Elmer and it was written by or for that owner or one of their relatives. The poem apparently pre-dates the book.
Dear Reader: Do you think you are related to the individuals listed in this post? Please drop me a note! I love hearing from cousins and others researching my family!

Adapted by Julian Barry from his own Broadway play, Lenny manages to be both brutally frank and highly romanticized in detailing the short life and career of influential, controversial stand-up comedian Lenny Bruce. The chronology hops, skips and jumps between Lenny (Dustin Hoffman) in his prime and the burned-out, strung-out performer who, in the twilight of his life, used his nightclub act to pour out his personal frustrations at great, boring length. We watch as up-and-coming comic Bruce courts his "Shiksa goddess," a stripper named Honey (Valerie Perrine). With family responsibilities, Lenny is encouraged to do a "safe," conformist act, but he can't do it. Constantly in trouble for flouting obscenity laws, Lenny develops a near-messianic complex, which fuels both his comedy genius and his talent for self-destruction. Worn out by a lifetime of tilting at Establishment windmills, Lenny Bruce died of a drug overdose in 1966. Director Bob Fosse chose to film Lenny in black-and-white, giving the film the texture of a documentary. Though a film as verbally graphic as Lenny could not have been made when the real Lenny Bruce was alive, audiences in 1974 responded, to the tune of an $11 million gross. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

David Bowie to Release Remastered 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars'
It will be almost 40 years to the day of its original release when EMI releases the newest anniversary edition of the most influential David Bowie album of all time. A remastered version of 1972′s 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars' will be released on June 4.
The concept album was originally released on June 6, 1972, but really didn't enjoy much success immediately, peaking at No. 75 on the U.S. album charts. 'Starman' was the only U.S. single, although tracks like 'Suffragette City' can be heard regularly on classic rock radio today.
The highlights of the reissue are 5.1 mixes of songs like 'Moonage Daydream,' 'Velvet Goldmine' and 'Sweat Head,' the latter three of which only appear on other reissues, but not in the remastered form.
Those songs appear on the audio-only DVD that is part of the reissue. One can buy the entire album on CD, but that only includes the original track-listing in remastered form. The vinyl and DVD package — which one report says will cost around $27 — includes an LP with the original cuts, and a 26 track DVD. Stereoboard.com has the complete track listing.
Bowie's Facebook page broke the news of the re-release. The post also says there will be a digital release of the 2012 remaster. No further details about where to buy any of the formats is available at this time.

Mayor Don Wesely today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for September to William Hershberger, Fire Apparatus Operator (FAO) for the Lincoln Fire Department. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Hershberger has worked for the City of Lincoln for about 15 years. He was nominated in the category of customer relations by Lincoln Fire and Rescue Captain Jan Robertson.
Hershberger is spearheading an ongoing project of mounting a pair of American flags on the front bumpers of Lincoln Fire and Rescue vehicles. It takes about one hour to install a pair of flags, and Hershberger does the work on his own time. He originally covered the $35 cost for each pair of flags, but that is now covered by personal firefighter donations. Hershberger was inspired to start the project by the events of September 11, 2001.
"These events stirred a strong sense of patriotism in FAO Hershberger as well as his fellow colleagues, and he has a deep desire to display it to the citizens of Lincoln and all who visit here," Robertson wrote in his nomination. "Bill had completed and installed six pairs of flags by June, which is one third of the front line engine and truck companies, and intends to install as many as necessary in order to show support for the uniformed personnel and fellow citizens of the United States of America, and also as a tribute to all those who have lost their lives from terrorists attacks."
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are loss prevention, productivity safety and valor. All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected officials and some managers. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public.
Nomination forms are available from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program. All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

Bipartisan steps urged on climate change policy
Global warming is 'hot' again, but analysts urge compromise, not ideology, in Congress
First, Hurricane Sandy hit. Then, President Obama mentioned global warming in his acceptance speech. Now, 2012 looks likely to be the hottest year on record.
In the last three weeks, public interest in global warming has undergone a remarkable revival. Already, environmentalists are renewing calls on Obama to reject a controversial Canadian oil pipeline and to put strict greenhouse gas emission standards in place.
But energy and environmental analysts warn that idealistic calls to action may end up hurting climate change policy efforts: With Republicans controlling the House and Democrats the Senate, and the nation facing a hard economic path, they argue any gains need to be made through consensus from both sides of the aisle.
"Sandy has helped put climate change back on the map . . . but it's not like the bulk of the American people now say that climate change matters more than anything else,'' said Michael A. Levi, director of the Program on Energy Security and Climate Change for the Council on Foreign Relations, a bipartisan think tank. Levi recently wrote blog posts calling for environmentalists and oil and gas interests to compromise to get past the stalled climate status quo.
"If you can put together a package that expands opportunity for oil and gas development while curbing emissions from fossil fuels, that is something that moves us'' forward, he said.
If the loud cheers Obama won from mentioning a warming planet in the wee hours after he was reelected are any indication, the president is likely to start talking about climate change more freely and frequently. He did just that Wednesday, in his first postelection press conference — but stopped short of vowing action.
"If the message is somehow, we're going to ignore jobs and growth simply to address climate change, I don't think anybody's going to go for that,'' he said. "I won't go for that.''
One of Obama's first tests will be a wind energy tax credit that has long had bipartisan support but came under GOP scrutiny with presidential candidate Mitt Romney saying he opposed subsidies for green energy. The credit will expire at the end of the year if the congressional session that began this week does not extend the credits. The American Wind Energy Association, an industry group, says 37,000 jobs will be lost within a year if the tax break is not extended.
"We have a chance to do it. It's popular across the aisle,'' US Senator John Kerry said. "But the reality is, we can't keep doing this successfully one year at a time. We need to provide predictability and certainty about what role the tax code will play in our energy policy.
Some analysts say one controversial project could join both sides of the aisle: presidential approval of the Keystone pipeline that would bring tar sands oil from Canada to the United States. Environmentalists opposed the pipeline for several reasons, which included the large amounts of carbon dioxide, the key heat-trapping gas, that are emitted through the energy-intensive methods for extracting oil from tar sands. Obama rejected an accelerated timetable for the project last year, but he will have to face a final decision on the pipeline this term.
A "positive decision can address environmental concerns and win support from both sides of the aisle in Congress,'' said Robert Stavins, director of Harvard's Environmental Economics program.
There already have been significant gains in Obama's first term, such as higher mileage requirements for automobiles and appliance energy efficiency standards, that will help lower emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency has enacted carbon dioxide rules for new power plants, but how the agency will handle regulating the gas from existing power plants is unclear. Other pollution rules the EPA could enact, while not having specific carbon dioxide requirements, could significantly affect investment, retirement, and use of coal-fired power plants, says Stavins. Also helping climate efforts, while not policy, is the low price of natural gas. Generating electricity from gas produces less carbon dioxide than from coal.
Those policies — and expanded use of natural gas — will help the United States achieve or come close to the emission reductions Obama pledged in international climate talks in 2009, 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020, Stavins and other energy analysts predict.
Another subject ripe for compromise that is making headlines — although few expressed confidence it would advance — is a carbon tax. As Congress debates how to raise revenue to avoid massive spending cuts, the "fiscal cliff,'' some economists and environmentalists are calling for a fee on carbon pollution. One research group, Resources for the Future, estimates that a tax of $25 per ton of carbon dioxide would raise $125 billion a year.
While any taxes are unpopular, there could be compromise embedded in such a tax, says Joseph Aldy, assistant professor of public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School who is affiliated with Resources for the Future. A carbon tax could help avoid less palatable alternatives such as eliminating mortgage interest deductions, but it also may mean Democrats would have to give up EPA's regulatory authority over greenhouse gases, he said.
"If a meaningful, economy-wide carbon tax can be established, then that reduces the need for greenhouse gas emission regulation,'' Aldy said. "Both sides get an important component of a tax and fiscal reform package . . . the Republicans get regulatory streamlining, and the Democrats get a price on carbon.''
There is also speculation over whether Obama will make a push for stronger US climate policies, such as a national clean energy standard, requiring a certain percentage of power from renewable energy.
But some economists and academics say such changes may have a better shot if states continue to lead, although it will depend how well they do so. For example, the Northeast's landmark Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, which set a gradually lowering cap on power plant emissions with the intent of driving up the cost of carbon emissions for operators, has not sparked the investment in pollution reduction first envisioned. Emissions have been markedly lower than forecast because of the recession, and low natural gas prices and a cap that was set very high also made the program less effective. However, a cap and trade program that is beginning in California could have a significant national impact, analysts say.

By CHARLES RABIN And MICHAEL VASQUEZ
A growing turf battle between Miami and Miami-Dade police officers -- and their respective politicians -- threatens to delay or derail the long-sought $525 million Florida Marlins ballpark, even as cranes ready to take down the historic Orange Bowl.
The fight is simple at its core, centered on which agency gets to patrol the ballpark grounds and reap millions in off-duty pay during the team's 35-year lease. While the ballpark would be built in the city, the county would own the facility.
Politically, the solution is not so simple, as each governing body -- Miami on one side and Miami-Dade on the other -- wants to ensure its officers get their share of the spoils. Each has passed dueling resolutions.
Elected leaders fear giving in means they'd lose the support of two of the most powerful voting blocks in South Florida, the Police Benevolent Association representing county police and the Fraternal Order of Police overseeing Miami.
The unions' political might extends beyond the 5,000 officers, said former Miami Police Chief Ken Harms, to the ability to organize and campaign for commissioners.
'No reasonable politician wants to alienate his or her police or fire department. They want to be able to say down the line, `we supported you guys,' '' said Harms.
The police issue threatens to delay the aggressive schedule the Marlins have crafted to complete the massive construction job within a 28-month window so the team can play in Little Havana by 2011.
Despite the Baseball Stadium Agreement being approved two weeks ago in broad form by the city and county, a host of other issues -- including a management contract that would include the policing duties -- must be resolved and voted on by commissioners before the digging begins in November.
The agreement also says that if the plan falls apart because a management agreement isn't reached, the county could be on the hook for one-third of any money spent to that point -- Marlins architectural drawings, for example, or any Miami public works -- whether the county spent any money, or not.
The coveted off-duty pay -- which averages $28 an hour in Miami and $30 in the county -- is significant to Miami police, and even more so to county officers who use it to bulk up their pensions. The BSA calls for the Marlins to fund police presence.
The agreement calls for land under the stadium to be deeded to the county -- freeing the city from a pricey property tax bill.
But the decision to deed those 13 acres or so has set off a threat by the county's most powerful union boss ''to blow up'' negotiations; a protest by the union representing Miami police; and the specter of a grievance by Miami police -- against city commissioners.
''They're [county police] proposing to have double the amount of police officers, just so they don't get sweaty outside,'' said FOP boss Armando Aguilar, who represents Miami's 940 police officers.
The turf battle surfaced unexpectedly two weeks ago as county commissioners prepared to vote to finance the stadium, when John Rivera, the PBA union boss, threatened to detonate the deal if his members were left out.
Commissioners, their aides and Marlins officials searched for a way to appease Rivera. Several hours later, Rivera accepted the financing vote under the condition that city and county administrators return with a negotiated settlement within 30 days -- or the ballpark deal would die.
Last week, as city commissioners passed a unanimous vote for Miami officers to patrol the stadium, about 100 members carried signs and strolled the circular City Hall parking lot protesting any potential county presence.
Said city Commissioner Tomas Regalado: ``Common sense never is present in any dealings with the county.''
Then Tuesday, after county commissioners passed a similar unanimous vote for county officers to patrol the new ballpark, city commissioners were put on notice -- by their own police department.
FOP attorney Osnat K. Rind cited the city's collective bargaining agreement in contending there was no leeway when it comes to patrolling in Miami. ''The union considers the city's action a serious breach of its obligation to act in good faith and fairly with employees,'' wrote Rind.
During the county hearing, commissioners harped on how county forces lost lucrative jobs at the AmericanAirlines Arena and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. They vowed to never let that happen again.
''I'm not blinking,'' piped in Commissioner Joe Martinez.
County Mayor Carlos Alvarez and Manager George Burgess, and city Mayor Manny Diaz and Manager Pete Hernandez, aim to settle the dispute. Alvarez and Burgess declined comment.
Hernandez said he's trying to get the two police departments to talk. He said he spoke with FOP's Aguilar Tuesday and is willing to sit down with Rivera.
The parties have two weeks to reach resolution. With that deadline looming, some see signs of light, others not so much.
Union bosses representing city and county firefighters -- who, like police, are also negotiating for territorial rights -- are talking. PBA's Rivera said he's fine with his troops working from the stadium sidewalk in, and city police the adjacent streets.
''I never implied we wanted to encroach,'' he said.
Replied Aguilar: ``They want to be the boss. Well, let them build it outside, in the county, then. Let them build it in the Everglades.''

Cellphone records, gun testing lead to murder arrest
Darius Bishop and his accused killer were seen together and had multiple cellphone contacts in the hours before Bishop's body was found in a Bozrah ball field, according to state police.
Bishop, 28, of Norwich, was found lying face down at the Charles L. Long sports complex in Bozrah on Sept. 25 with a gunshot wound to the head, according to state police.
On Monday, police charged Dequan McKethan, 34, of 61 Summit St. with murdering Bishop. McKethan had been held in lieu of a high bond since two days after the shooting, when police said he was pulled over for a traffic infraction and found with a .22 caliber Beretta pistol. They said McKethan had been pulled over within 300 feet of the Bills Avenue area in Norwich where police had found the victim's car.
McKethan is now being held in lieu of a $1.5 million bond.
There is no apparent motive detailed in the arrest warrant affidavit.
According to the warrant, McKethan agreed to speak with investigators after his arrest. He said he regularly bought marijuana from Bishop but had not spoken to him for over a week.
Confronted with phone records that indicated there were several calls between the two men that night, he said he had called Bishop but had not spoken to him. McKethan "denied any involvement in the death of Bishop but vowed to find the person responsible for his death," according to the affidavit. McKethan told police he had been home on the night of the shooting.
Bishop's girlfriend, Jonel Gilbert, told investigators that Bishop left the apartment in his Toyota Corolla about 10 p.m. to "meet up with some friends." She said he called her at midnight and told her he wouldn't be much longer.
He called again at 1 a.m. to say he had "gotten lost and was on his way to her," according to the affidavit. That was the last time she heard from him.
Police interviewed McKethan's girlfriend, Chelsea Vanderslice, who said McKethan had left the apartment about 10 p.m. that night, returned at 11 p.m. and left again at 1 a.m. Vanderslice said she woke up the next morning and saw their car was parked outside, but McKethan was not home. She said the women who lived downstairs told her another man, Duryell Barham, had driven their car back. She said when she woke up again, McKethan was home.
Cellphone records indicate Bishop's and McKethan's phones were both in the Greeneville section of Norwich after 10 p.m., and, a few hours later, in the Griswold area. Investigators determined Bishop sent text messages from the area of Route 2 and Interstate 395 and then from Bozrah. The last text was sent at 2:16 a.m.
A resident who lives near the ball field said he heard a single gunshot between 2:10 and 2:30 a.m.
State police spoke to a former girlfriend of McKethan's, who told them she lived near the ball field in Bozrah when they were dating and that he would sometimes accompany her on her daily walks at the baseball field complex.
Police also interviewed McKethan's downstairs neighbors, who said McKethan used their cellphone that night to call Bishop at 9 p.m. and that Bishop sent a text to say he was "on his way." One of the neighbors said Bishop then came to McKethan's apartment, stayed 15 to 20 minutes and left, saying he was going to the Gold Club in Groton.
One of the neighbors, Casondra Daniels, told investigators that McKethan pulled her aside two days after the shooting and asked her if she had heard that Bishop "got popped."
The police traced the serial number on the .22 caliber pistol and learned it was registered to Timothy McDonald of Uncasville. McDonald said he had given it to a friend, Robert Couture, five years ago. Couture is now deceased. McDonald had notified police that he no longer had the weapon in 2010 when he had to surrender all his firearms due to a domestic incident, according to the affidavit.
The state forensic laboratory test-fired the Beretta they seized from McKethan and made comparisons of the firing pin impressions on shell casings from the test fire and the casing found next to Bishop's body. Results indicated they appeared to have come from the same weapon.
The lab also confirmed that McKethan's DNA was on the Beretta's trigger after comparing a swab taken from McKethan to swabs taken from the trigger and magazine. However, his DNA was not found on the gun's grip, slide or on cartridges recovered from McKethan.

North Callaway boys, Community R-6 girls
NORTH CALLAWAY BOYS: The North Callaway Thunderbirds lost Saturday to Hallsville Indians for third place in the Southern Boone Tournament. The Indians won 66-47.
For North Callaway Justin Murphy scored 17 points and Jacob Haubner scored 10. Haubner led the team with 7 rebounds and 6 steals. For Hallsville, Nathan Kertz scored 16 points.
The Thunderbirds will need to regroup as they travel to Montgomery City on Tuesday which could determine district seeding. "We have a big game Tuesday at Montgomery City," said coach Chris Turlington. A win could give North Callaway a higher seed in districts.
North Callaway is 12-9 for the season and Hallsville increases its record to 12-9.
COMMUNITY R-6 GIRLS: The Community R-6 Lady Trojans played Westran on Saturday at Moberly Area Community College before the Greyhounds game with West Plains. "It was a great experience for our kids to play on a college floor and enjoy a fun day of basketball," said R-6 Coach Bob Curtis.
Junior Emmalee McCoskey led the charge for the Lady Trojans with 10 points and 10 rebounds. She was dominate on both ends of the floor against a smaller Westran team. The contest was very physical and featured two teams that can relly defend so field goals were hard to come by, said Curtis.
The Lady Trojans brought home the win 31-13. In addition to McCoskey, Paige Curtis scored 5 points and Bianca Stafford added 4. Danielle Brooks had 3 assists.
The Lady Trojans are 12-6 overall and 4-1 in conference play.
Westran: 7-2-1-3

The landing of the Curiosity rover represents another inspiring jaunt humanity's taken into the nearby reaches of our Solar System. But in the late 1800s, such fantastical expeditions were sequestered to Jules Verne novels, and starry-eyed spacefarers were forced to reconstruct our cosmic neighbors on Earth (and furnish them with bored, mustachioed security guards).
What you're seeing here is an 1898 photograph of Thomas Dickert and Johann Friedrich Julius Schmidt's model moon, which was constructed of "116 sections of plaster on a framework of wood and metal." At the time, this 19-foot-diameter moon — which was completed in 1854 after five years of modeling and building — was sitting near the Geology wing of Chicago's Field Columbian Museum. Incredibly, there was period of time where astronomers had no idea where the darn thing was, thanks to constant city-to-city tours. An 1899 article in Nature cleared up this confusion:
The present location of the Schmidt-Dickert relief model of the moon is probably not generally known in Europe. Webb's "Celestial Objects for Common Telescopes'' (edition of 1896) states that the model is in Bonn, and this impression probably generally prevails. As a matter of fact the model has been for about twenty years in America. It has been on exhibition only at rare intervals during the time, however, and hence has been lost sight of. By a disposition recently made of it, it has fortunately become available to students of science and the public generally. Through the generosity of Mr. Lewis Reese, of Chicago, it has been presented to the Field Columbian Museum, and is now installed in this institution.
How many copies of Celestial Objects for Common Telescopes were stomped into paste outside of the Natural History Museum in Bonn by enraged, moon-loving pilgrims? The sands of time will likely never relinquish that secret.
Also, anybody know where this model is today? I ask because I'd like to live in it, assuming it isn't filled with spiders, coyote bones, and broken bottles of Grandpa Jehoshaphat's Laudanum-O-Riffic Brain Tonic.

The History of Bail Bond Process
Our legal system is built upon the idea that a person is innocent until proven guilty. A defendant is given legal representation if they are unable to afford their own counsel and time to prepare a defense against the charges.
During this process the defendant, in most cases, is allowed their freedom by utilizing the services of the bond system and a bail bondsman. This system was formed in the early days of our country and continues to be used to protect the rights of the defendant and the public.
A surety bond is the process by which the accused can "buy their way out of jail" with the knowledge that if he/she does not appear at the arranged hearing, all funds used to buy the release will be forfeited. Basically, our legal system has created what they consider a financial guarantee that the defendant will appear in court on the required date.
Bail is granted to most people arrested for non-capital crimes and occasionally for those facing capital crimes. The current system is similar to what evolved in England during the Middle Ages. The early settlers brought the same program to America, officially instituting it with the Bill of Rights and additional legislative acts. The Sixth Amendment grants the right of habeas corpus, in which a person has the right to know the crime for which they are being arrested. This is a key issue for the system.
A person would only be able to request their release if they were aware of their crime and if it was on the list. The Eighth Amendment prohibits demands for excessive bail. The only major change to security laws occurred in 1966 with the Bail Reform Act. This act allowed judges to determine if a person could be released on their own recognizance, or whether a financial guarantee had to be imposed, while awaiting trial. Non-capital crimes were the focus of the act, but capital crimes were also included in certain situations.
The provisions are highly dependent on the nature of the crime committed. Of course, there are other considerations as well; for example, those accused of capital crimes are often considered too great a risk to the security of the community, so these people are kept in jail at least until the first hearing.
The definition of a capital crime varies from state to state, but is usually a crime that is punishable by the death penalty. Common examples of a capital crime include first-degree murder, murder with special circumstances, rape and federal treason.
In addition to the type of crime, the circumstances surrounding the crime, such as the age of the victim and the perceived dangerousness of the defendant, also play a role in determining release or bail amounts. If the accused is deemed to be a very high flight risk, bail may also be denied or set extremely high.
Bail amounts are not uniform, but do tend to fall into a typical range for the type of crime committed. Of course, all those other considerations come into play, such as the victim's age, the amount of physical violence, etc.
The legal system in America clearly states that a person is innocent until proven guilty. That innocence entitles them to retain basic freedoms until they are proven guilty in a court of law. Bonds are just a part of the way the legal system and individual rights are upheld in the United States.

Beaufort County Assessor Ed Hughes addresses property values and taxes, county revenues and budget, assessments and your options as a property tax payer on the next segment of Leaders of the Lowcountry.
This program airs at 1:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. daily through Sept. 30 on Hargray channel 238, Time Warner channel 5 and www.schhtv.com. Hughes also talks about the appeal process and other related procedures.
Two Lowcountry leaders of interest are interviewed each month and broadcast to the Sun City audience. The government and business affairs committee and Sun City TV present the program as a public service. It sometimes seems that we never have quite enough time in our half hour program to cover many timely topics so we plan to have Hughes back after property tax assessment notices are received before the end of the year.
You can help frame additional questions for Hughes or if you have a comment, suggestions or ideas for future guests, contact organizers of the program at firstname.lastname@example.com.

New Years Outfits
Just after New Year's, I invited our readers to send us some pictures of their New Year's outfits- and here is a special selection!
Bohème Sauvage in Berlin
Our readers Henry de Winter and Ray Frensham sent us some pictures from their New Year's event Bohème Sauvage in Berlin. It seems like they had a wonderful time in full fig (white tie).
After looking at a number of photos of this event, I noticed that the general interest in black tie and 20's clothing was very high. The reason being is that Bohème Sauvage is a German tribute to the French Belle Epoque, the Roaring 20's in Berlin and in the US. Attendants are required to wear vintage clothing and the goal of the organization is to celebrate like in the good ole days – with lots of music, champagne and of course fun.
These pictures are full of exquisite little details. Henry de Winter wears a monocle, detachable collar, stiff fronted shirt, studs and one of the very rare double breasted evening waistcoats. His friend Harald Zöpke also wears white tie, but he tops it off with a fez hat. The fez originally was developed by Andalusian Arabs in the city of Fes, Morocco in the 17th century – hence the name. It is a brimless hat made of felt or kilim fabric, with a cylindrical or cone like shape and tassels on top. Personally, I would probably not wear one, but I admire it on him.
In the picture, you can see Ray Frensham with a top hat and starched single cuffs that he wears with cuff links. Traditionally, cuffs for evening shirts were stiff and unfolded. Only with the introduction of the dinner jacket did cuffs become softer and foldable.
While the Bohème is definitely a special vintage event, I find the idea of a glorious new years eve celebration in nice clothes and in a festive surrounding fantastic, although I am generally not overly interested in period costume events. What do you think? Would you want to celebrate New Year's in such a setting?

Pakistani New Years Outfit
A very different, yet equally great outfit picture was submitted to us by Ahmed Sajeel from Pakistan. I find it remarkable that we gather readers from all over the world, yet everyone shares a common interest: classic men's clothing & style.
He wears a classic Glen Urquhart (aka glencheck or prince of wales check) coat sans overplaid, a heavy knit cardigan with sporty leather buttons, a blue patterned tie and white shirt. On his lapel, we can see a little BMW pin and his chest pocket is decorated with a light blue and golden yellow paisley pocket square.
Obviously, this is by far not as formal as the previous outfits, but it is perfect for a relaxed atmosphere.
Kent Wang Tuxedo
Finally, Kent Wangprovided us with a few pictures of his interpretation of a modern, yet classic tuxedo outfit.The peaked lapels are very slim and have a slight belly (curve) and the gorge is very high. It is a one-button jacket with jetted besom pockets and fairly round quarters. He wears it with big black studs, a marcella piquée shirt, a white silk pocket square, white pearl cuff links, and plain toe balmoral oxford shoes. Last but not least, he wears a black bow tie.
Overall the fit is very slim and hence you can see a few wrinkles here and there. Though, I do like the idea of a single, cloth-covered cuff button on the jacket. What do you think?

At some point during the late summer of '09 I made a sort of pledge; I wasn't going to pay attention to owls that were off at my periphery. I had been seeing so many owls that I needed some way to filter out the ones that were just sitting in a tree as I drove down the road, those didn't count.
I literally stated out-loud that I would only pay attention if an owl somehow crossed my path. Basically, they needed to swoop down in front of me, as if they were demanding my attention. Well, almost immediately after my verbal declaration, the owls seemed to respond - and they would appear in front of me in flight - cleanly bisecting my path.
The overt owl "performance" where they would cross my path happened multiple times in October of 2009. It first happened as I rode my bike thru my little home-town. And again a few weeks later in the presence of Whitley Strieber during a conference in California.
I didn't see many owls during the winter and summer of 2010, there was pretty much nothing for a almost a full year. I saw a few normal owls off on the side of the road as I was driving, it felt like their overt performances had eased off.
In September of last year (2010) I spent several nights in a row recording and editing an audio post about the month of October of '09, and it's overwhelming load of weirdness. Recording this podcast was emotional and time consuming. I would edit late into the night, awash in a sort of compulsion.
Here's where it gets weird. One early evening while I was riding my bike from a friend's house to my home, and knowing that I was on my way to work on that heavy-handed podcast - an owl swooped down from a telephone pole and silently crossed my path, landing on a fence post on the other side of the lonely rural road. I was immediately aware that this was somehow associated with the podcast.
Now, here's where it gets really weird! Two nights later, I was riding home on my bike from town (on a totally different road) and an owl swoops across my path and lands in a group of cottonwoods along side the road, at a bridge across the Teton Creek. Again, this was when I was on my way home to work on that heavy-handed podcast.
This came after a year of almost zero owl sightings.
My consistent interpretation of these owl incidents has been either you're on the right path or pay attention.
But after having two owls cross my path while on my way to edit that audio essay about synchronicities and paranormal experiences, I was imbued with an even deeper dedication to be as honest as I possibly could.

Great Quality, lower price & On time shipping
This is a great string. It looses tension quick so I would account for that in the stringing unless you are going hybrid or per-streching them
I am 3.5 player and have used this string for about 4 years. It is responsive and I am able to generate a lot of power.
About 15 years ago I tried many topspin strings and settled on Prince topspin. Then I discovered the Duraflex (PTD) version and it lasts twice as long -it's very forgiving and generates power when you have to. The string gives me good bite on the ball and gets it over the net but in the court. I've tried other hot-shot strings that the 'pros play with' that gave me more power but no control and also can't stand the metallic titanium feel - the guys who recommended those 'power' strings all have shoulder problems!. So back to PTD and all's well. Just ordered a dozen packs for the year.
According to my son this string is excellent. It creates a lot of spin, gives you power, pop, and a crisp feel. He loves it.
My daughter just began playing with this string and it only took one session for this to be her preferred string.
I've been using this string for about two years and love it. I install it in a stiff frame at 45 LBS which gives a soft feel and great power. Furthermore, this setup gives great touch.
Excellent feel and control, along with comfort and good spin effect for Spin configured racquets. Used in Hybrid configuration with poly on the mains.
The racket has strong durability and maintain tension after a good a period of playing time. Like the control and spin created by the 17g string.
Awesome feel, if you want to "punch that volley" and want a "drop it like its hot" dropshot, that keep your oppnenent scampering...Look no more! Been using x 5 years and no tennis elbow ever! Mean sting...for mean pinpoint shots!
Researching a bunch of strings and differences - went with this based on reviews and price - and I couldn't be happier! Will definitely restring with this when the time comes. Strung the Duraflex on 2- Prince Tour Pro 98's and we are very happy.
This is the best string I have ever played with.Long lasting even with heavy hitting and lots of spin.
Very good very durable and very affordable strings
I love this string! It has long life and helps to generate power and bites the ball for spin too.
Very good over all.
Very crisp feel and unrivalled amount of spin. I always put these in the mains. They will saw through any main as a cross very quickly. I don't string it any higher than 55 pounds to avoid tennis elbow.
This is a very good string, emphasizing spin, but exhibiting great power as well. Can lose a bit on the control side, perhaps arguing for a 17 gauge configuration.
Good strings for durability and comfort.
with this string you can feel the power of a shot and do not loose the touch for drop shots or slicing. also when loosens it breaks fast . definitely will recommend
This hybrid string combination is used by many top professional players who demand the best of all worlds of power, control, and durability! I prefer to use the gut on the mains, and this offers significant insurance for the health of all your joints associated with hitting a tennis ball. The durability is excellent as they last me 3-6 months despite playing four times per week on clay and hard courts. Midwest Sports maintains abundant inventory and the shipping is most reliable.
Great String, I used they in my Blade 98, I get a little more power and control on my ground strokes and servers. But when the strings starts to notch it tend to fly on me. So I need to restring my racket often.
Like the spin this string adds to the ball.
Perfect all around string for string breakers. Thinner gauge for better play and tension maintenance.
I have so much more power with this string but didn't lose any of the touch for drop shots or slicing. Will be using this exclusively from now on
I bought Ashaway Kevlar 360 ft Reel Tennis String Size: 16g. Excellent string to combine with multifilament like NXT.
Excellent tennis string at a great price for poly.
decent string for the $. easy on the arm. good durability.
they are great cross strings for having good control on your racket. I wouldn't put it on mains and crosses
H.S. tennis coach and PTC suggested this string for me. I'm a heavy hitter with modest topspin. Noticeable improvement in power and spin with this string. I hope it will be durable.
This string has given me good control and spin. I use combined with Luxilon for power with good results. Great value for the price!
This is my go to string. It balances between spin and durability.
Babolat RPM Blast 16G Tennis String has great spin, feel and durability. Can't beat it!
Quickness of receiving the order.
Prince Syn Gut 17G is a great buy. I hit flat with a head light racket and this string feels soft and provides great control when strung at 58 lbs. I wouldn't say that the playing properties last as long as other more expensive strings or that it provides maximum power but you can't beat the price and it will relieve some of the stress on your arm produced by stiffer strings.
Great feel!!! My game improved since I started using this string. Won't change it!
I love this string. I usually string my racquets with poly mains and Gosen Proform on my cross strings, and o love the durability and the feel. It is a very good string to string and for the money you can't beat it. I string a lot of the guys I play tennis with during the week of all levels, and they love it. I have used this string for at least ten years, and I have nothing bad to say about it.
Great feel!!! My game improved since I started using this string. Won't change it!
Really like the string - bought it after researching on internet -
Works well on my new babolat French open edition. Great value for the price!
Long lasting string that has the feel and spin that you need.
Long lasting string that has the feel and spin that you need.
A bought a stringing machine a year ago and over the winter experimented with all kinds of string set ups both full beds and hybrids. Ithis experiment included poly, synthetic gut, kevlar, and multifilaments. I always wanted to do this and just see which string would be the best. We'll a full bed of RPM BLAST is by far the best. I string my aeropro drive gt at 58 lbs and couldn't be happier.
I love these strings especially combining them with a poly it lasts long and plays great!
It looks cool. It works good. The package it came in looks cooler then the one on the picture.
with a good price.
Gosen makes a quality made in Japan single core synthetic gut comparable to prince synthetic gut and other well known synthetic guts. I use it as a cross string in a poly/synthetic gut hybrid. The white version is a bit stiffer than the natural colored one. So if you prefer a softer string, get the natural color. I get a bit more spin on my serve using the 17 vs the 16 gauge.
well, while this is a very good string, one shouldn't be using it as the only string in his/her rackets. it's a great hybrid string match with hurricane pro or ... otherwise it's lacks a few aspects of the game (spin, power) and the string keeps running off and you need to constantly pull them in position after each shot
I used RPM blast on the mains and Gamma TNT on the crosses all at 52 lbs on my Wilson Steam 99s racket. They played fantastic with tons of feel, power and enough comfort on my arm to aid my tennis elbow pain (considering they are a polyester). The only drawbacks I had was 1) durability- they lasted only two or two and a half weeks, although I have a very open string pattern- and 2) price. Overall a fantastic string for someone who doesn't mind restringing their racket often.
I love the Babolat Xcel string. It has all the comfort and power of comparable Technifibre multifilament strings like NRG2 and TGV with as good or better durability/ tension maintenance. Certainly better durability than the Volkl multis I've tried.
I use this string a lot when stringing rackets in our retirement community. It is my string of choice and plays very well for senior tennis players. The quality and price of this string is great.
Great string that goes on the cross strings, provides excellent feel and pairs well with the Pro Hurricane Tour 16G string
Great string that goes on the mains, pairs well with Xcel 16G on the crosses, provides great spin and feel at net as well as power from the baseline. Great durability as well
Had this string put on my new racquet and I am impressed with its durability.
My son put this on his new AeroPro racquet and loved the spin he was able to put on the ball. We were not impressed with its durability after it broke 2 months of use. He is trying a different string now.
I love this string. Durable! Already more than a year since the last time had my racket got strung with Pro Hurricane and still looks brand new and not even one knick that's showing.
Provided longer play time than expected. Good grip on ball provided better control of shots
This is my first ever reel of strings. I'm a cheapy, so this was a great value. I strung a full bed on my friend's Prince TT, and he said it felt good. I've read that a hybrid would work better, so I'm looking forward to doing that on my Gamma Tour 320x. Great racquet btw.
Love the price for a quality string that lasts a while.
Did a fair amount of research on arm friendly strings and really glad I picked this string. Arm friendly but still gives me power and spin when I want it.
This string is a bargain for the price. It won't generate the spin of a poly but it plays quite well and has good durability. It also makes a nice choice for hybrid set-ups.
Prince Syn Gut with Duraflex is the best synthetic gut available. I have strung many racquets with different types of synthetic and this one definitely lasts the longest and is the perfect combination with a polyester string. I use it for all levels, from beginners who string their whole racquet with this, to highly competitive players who use a hybrid.
Solid all around string. Not hard on your arm like a poly and much more durable than the multifilaments.
I have been loyally using the PSGD since long ago. I absolutely love the feel of the strings. One thing though, is that they don't last as long as I thought they would. However, for the cheap price, you can't beat it.
I bought this reel solely for the purpose of using it as a cross string in a hybrid with a poly. They work great and I wouldn't hesitate to use them with any polys. I also use them for my customers who don't prefer a specific synthetic gut in their racquet. They are cheap, and very efficient as well! Great buy.
Good string for the price. Soft feel.
Best playable & durable string on the market. Have used this for several years & it never disappoints.
Great string. Nice spin, control, and comfort.
Awesome strings.
Love this string...easy on the arm, especially for a poly. String Aeropro Drive at 58 to 61 pounds
I love these strings. Used them for years.
Had been using a Luxilon BB for the last 7 or 8 years and this string seems to be as durable with better feel. Would recommend to anyone who needs durability with heavy groundies.
Holds tension well. Nice spin
I use it to restring racquetball racquets and is very durable and playable.
I always find myself coming back to this string and wondering why I left it. Durable, spin, power, and not too stiff either.
wonderful string and have better feel than Luxilon 16 or luxilon 4G
I like it because it is cheap and has some good feel.
Love the spin and control I get from this string. Tried others and always come back to this one. Just ordered 4.
Good durable string that works well as a cross string when paired with a firmer (RPM, Crossfire, etc.) main string.
Noticed improvement on serves and groundstrokes right away. A real winner set of string.
I'm not a huge hitter so I don't break poly strings too often. I replace these strings every few months usually because of tension loss. Excellent for helping to create extra topspin
You can't fairly rate a string unless you consider how much you pay for it. This string is an awesome value. A 660' reel for $17 ???? Are you joking. I've been using this string as my "base" level string for my customers and everyone loves it, considering the price. Sure, there may be players that "think" their game deserves more, and maybe that's a valid point for some. But this string is every bit what most people need.
My preferred string bed, Alu Power Rough (main) x RPM Blast (cross). This gives me the additional control and spin.
Great control and spin- comfortable for a poly and offers just the right amount of pop, I love it!
this string it++̭-˳ so confortable to use in low tension in my racquet, my arm feel so great.
I've been playing tennis for almost 40 years, and this Babolot RPM Blast is by far the best string I have ever played with. Its power, control, and durability are unmatched. Thank you for developing such a superior product.
Used this as a median or middle-of-the-road string to see what characteristics players want on their rackets, e.g. Firmer, softer, durability, etc.
Although this string is very stretchy, it is very powerful, long lasting, and easy on the arm. I string it at 45 lbs, ala John McEnroe.
Put this string in a few friends racquets as well as my own. Everyone loved the control.
More feel than RPM 16 or Big Banger and maintains good power. Get 10-16 hrs playing time before breaks (similar to Big Banger). 18 gauge breaks 6-8 hrs, but has even more control
Had my new racket strong with Blast string at 53lbs. So far I really like it
great feel and control, with good pop
I bought these strings because Nadal used them and I found out they were great. They lacked a little feel but the power and spin were great. They have decent control and durability is not an issue
Worked well as a replacement on my son's E-series. He it well and said it worked great.
The string is an excellent value and plays very similar to the gamma synthetic gut, but at a lower price. The lower cost does allow me to play around with string tensions without worrying too much about price. I also string my own rackets, about 1 per month, I play about 3 - 4 times per week.
My arm is so happy with this new string, the feeling is awesome.
Love this string. Been playing Prince Syn Gut 17 for over a year now but just switched to the Lightening XX. Same great feel with a bit more pop. And I love supporting the breast cancer foundation with the fun pink color.
This string provided plenty of pop but I felt that it lacked any feel and was harsh to my aging arm.
I was given a suggestion from an opponent to try this new the pro hurricane because I broke to strings while we were playing. It's given me a lot more spin and it's durability is exceptional. Being a lefty, spin is an added bonus!!! I've tried other strings but always go back. Hope they never stop making this string
Switched my strings to this RPM Blast. Could tell a huge difference in the spin of the ball, lost a little on control. But with practice it'll improve. Also found a bigger sweet spot.
My 11 year old who needs a string that can do about everything well. He's tried the stings for more spin or more power but always falls back to this one that seems to be right in the middle and does everything well. He plays with a Drive Z. I would highly recommend.
My 13 year old who plays with a lot of top spin has tried a number of different strings over the past year and settled on this one. He likes the feel of the Dunlap silk but gets a little more pop on the ball with the Babolat Power. As a note. My 11 year old that hits the ball a lot harder but not as much spin does not like this string and uses the addiction.
I tried various types of strings since I started to play tennis. I had tried the super expensive and the relatively inexpensive strings. The Prince Syn Gut is by far the best strings. I mixed this string with the Tecnifibre strings to get the power and touch combo that many intermediate players like. For $5, y ou can't go wrong with this.
Seems working fine. First time using this string. Nothing I don't like so far.
Prince Synthetic Gut Duraflex is a great all around string. It's a tried and true classic and every stringer should always have a reel in stock. Works great in a hybrid or in a full bed.
Very satisfied with the 16g rpm blast my game improved after switching To this gut. Been using sonic pro 17g before and hit the ball always out . With the rpm blast i can hit the ball with spin more control in the base line thumbs up also at the Volley...
I string a lot of rackets for folks in my area. This is the most requested string even with all of the new string types available. It is very easy for the stringer and very durable and predictable for the player.
I've tried LOTS of different strings, and this one might be my favorite so far. A good balance of power and control, and good spin as well. Strung at 56 lbs. Power: 7/10 - It has some nice pop. Not as much power as Weiss Cannon Explosiv, but a moderate amount. Spin: 9/10 - The string feels slick, but the hexagonal shape gives it some bite on the ball. About as much spin as the Luxilon ALU rough. Control: 7/10 - Pretty good control, a good balance considering the power. Feel: 8/10 - I like the feel. It's not as stiff as the Luxilon ALU strings, so it has a softer feel.
No words to describe this string. It is the best poly string in the market, the feeling is amazing, the spin is incredible. I also try the dual string but I think this is superior.
With so many good choices out there, this product stands out. If the price does not bother you, go for it. RPM plays well with very good spin, as advertised.
The feeling you get off of the RPM Blast strings are amazing. Top of the line comfort and spin. No wonder why Rafa uses this string. Simply awesome. Definitely going to have to buy more in the future!
This is the second time I have strung my racquet with this string. Great for spin and control, but I play 4 times a week and the string started to fray after a week but still played well.
has all the power you need with total spin ability to hit all the angles.
I am on the court 4+ times a week, and these 17 gauge strings have relieved my tennis elbow. I am on my fourth set, and they last about 2 - 3 months.
I love this string! I had tennis elbow and after using this string for about two weeks--it was so much better! I play with the Babolat Pure Drive and at first was stringing it at about 58... Now I have no tennis elbow and I am back to stringing my racquet at 61-62.
I bought these strings because of a good word from a friend of mine. They are very easy on the arm. I use the Prince O3 White racket and have a medium swing speed. With these strings, I serve effortlessly and when volleying, I have total control. The only thing that would make these strings better is if they lasted longer. I've had them for 2 weeks and play constantly and they're almost done. But, overall, I would certainly recommend these to any player.

This string would not be on my list of must haves. I has stringer found this string very soft and hard to string a racquet with, now the people I string for seem to like it and they seem to get good play, and it seems to last and hold tension fairly well.
I've been using babolat pro hurricane string for 3yrs now and this string is really durable and a lot of pop on my racquet and last long. I recommend this good string to all club players.

Meet the new German government, same as the old German government.
At least that's the plan of Chancellor Angela Merkel and her political allies, who Friday crafted a deal aimed at ending Germany's 3 1/2-month political crisis.
It may appear an odd strategy, given that German voters gave the previous government the boot.
All three parties making up the last grand coalition — the Christian Democrats (CDU), the Christian Social Union (CSU) and the Social Democrats (SPD) — ended up with historically low returns in last September's federal elections.
But with snap elections looming after the conservatives tried and failed to reach a deal with several other German parties, the old partners were pressured by the German president — and ultimately, the public — to join together one more time.
They avoided the lengthy public spectacle of earlier failed talks, which took place in November, and limited their negotiations to a single week in Berlin with an agreed-to — and largely observed — news blackout. Final talks began at 8 a.m. on Thursday and lasted 24 hours.
Looking the worse for wear after the marathon session, Merkel, her CSU counterpart Horst Seehofer, and SPD leader Martin Schulz all praised each other and their parties' negotiators for persevering.
"I wasn't certain it would work," Merkel told reporters. "The only thing clear to me is that that was a pretty difficult task but ... we kept telling each other we wanted to find a way forward and that's why we succeeded."
Schulz thanked Merkel and Seehofer for their willingness to compromise, even though for months, he had openly rejected joining with them, vowing to make his party the main opposition party that would keep the chancellor in line.
On Friday, he defended his and other SPD leaders' 180-degree turn.
"At a time when [German] society is drifting apart, we wanted to hold the society together," Schulz told reporters.
Hurdles still remain.
The SPD membership will vote on the proposed deal on Jan. 21, and their approval is by no means a given, says Daniela Schwarzer, director of the German Council on Foreign Relations.
The SPD "referendum will, in fact, be a hard thing to win," Schwarzer tells NPR. "If we think back to the election night, when Martin Schulz announced he would never enter into a government with Angela Merkel — and now he tries to convince his party base of just that — it shows the political challenges."
SPD Parliamentarian Hilde Mattheis, who opposes a grand coalition, told the daily Schwaebische Zeitung that the mood in her party "is still very fragile."
If the SPD enters the government, she said, it will be handing the main opposition role in parliament to the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). That is a big concern among many German politicians, given AfD was the third largest vote-getter after the conservatives and the Social Democrats.
Being the largest opposition party in the German parliament means AfD will get to head a number of parliamentary committees and will receive public funding and other tools through which to promote its anti-Islam and anti-immigration political agenda.
"This will change the political debate in Germany," Schwarzer said. "And that's something that Germany really has to prepare for."
AfD leaders wasted no time tweeting their displeasure over the grand coalition deal and its first-ever cap on asylum seekers. Merkel and her allies agreed to a total yearly maximum of 220,000 people. In addition, following the passage of a new law next summer, up to 1,000 family members of refugees per month would be allowed to come to Germany.
"Unbelievable," tweeted AfD parliamentary group leader Alice Weidel, calling the proposed limit a "farce." She wrote: "How does the [Grand Coalition] plan to enforce an upper limit WITHOUT border security, our proposal for which was categorically rejected?"
The 28-page coalition deal also includes agreements on a variety of other topics, like emissions standards, more federal oversight over German education and increasing social welfare benefits.
Seehofer told reporters this grand coalition would be different than the last one, and said the deal highlights that — for example, by including a basic pension guarantee. "We learned during the election campaign — unfortunately too late — that having this basic guarantee was suddenly a top issue for people again," he said.
The markets rallied at the news of the prospective deal and the euro jumped to a three-hear high. Many of Germany's international allies congratulated Merkel and the other governing coalition leaders.
French government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux called the agreement "good for Germany, good for France and good for Europe." Prime Minister Boyko Borissov of Bulgaria, which holds the rotating European presidency, said he hoped "that this process will come to an end soon because it will be for the benefit of all.
"All the topics that we raise also depend on the cooperation with Angela Merkel," Borissov said. "We are waiting on this quite impatiently."
But Schwarzer says Friday's deal is only a partial victory for Merkel, who has been politically weakened by her refugee policy and the mediocre election results.
"To some extent, it is clear that the Merkel era will come to an end," Schwarzer says, adding Merkel isn't likely to run again. "So the question, for instance, will be whether she will stay for the whole term or whether she will actually build a successor and hand over to that person."
Seehofer predicted a new government could be in place before April, if the Social Democrats give Schulz a green light later this month.
If not, the political crisis in Germany could begin anew.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her political allies have crafted a deal that could end a political crisis in her country. For more than three months, the economic and political giant has been without a new government. Merkel's plan is for the same three parties that formed the last government to join together again to run Germany. NPR's Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson reports.
SORAYA SARHADDI NELSON, BYLINE: Angela Merkel was all smiles as she and the other party leaders announced their hard-fought agreement at a news conference.
CHANCELLOR ANGELA MERKEL: (Speaking German).
NELSON: She said, "I wasn't certain it would work" and that the negotiators from the ranks of her conservatives and the center-left Social Democrats kept pushing on every issue until they reached a compromise. But it isn't an easy alliance. After federal elections last September left the Social Democrats badly weakened, their leader, Martin Schulz, said they would lead the opposition. He said they would also be a foil to the far-right Alternative for Germany party which entered the Parliament at the same time. But after Merkel failed to form a new government with other parties, pressure began to mount on Schultz and his party to give the grand coalition another shot.
MARTIN SCHULZ: (Speaking German).
NELSON: He defended that choice, saying that at a time when German society is drifting apart, the social democrats were choosing to hold their country together. Germany's allies in Europe lauded that decision.
PRESIDENT EMMANUEL MACRON: (Speaking French).
NELSON: French President Emmanuel Macron, who needs German support to push through his plans for European reform and integration, called the deal good news and said he was very happy. But whether it will lead to a new German government is not yet clear. For one, the proposed coalition still needs the Social Democratic rank and file to approve it at their party congress later this month. Even if Merkel's plan succeeds, it will only be a partial victory for her.
DANIELA SCHWARZER: She will be weaker because it is clear that this is her last chancellorship.
NELSON: Daniela Schwarzer heads the German Council on Foreign Relations.
SCHWARZER: The question will be whether she will stay for the whole term or whether she will actually build a successor and hand over to that person.
NELSON: If the Social Democrats do end up approving the deal, a new German government could be in place by late-March. Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson, NPR News, Berlin. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Amid growing frenzy over an Ebola outbreak in West Africa and fears it could spread, Canadian-based Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp. has moved a little closer to getting approval for a treatment that combats the deadly virus, sending its shares soaring Friday.
Both U.S. and Canadian shares of Tekmira /quotes/zigman/1361172/delayed /quotes/nls/tkmr TKMR /quotes/zigman/710758/delayed CA:TKM were up more than 28% in recent action, reaching new highs for the session.
Tekmira announced late Thursday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave verbal approval to change the status on its drug, known as TKM-Ebola, to a partial clinical hold from a full clinical hold. The company says this could potentially allow the use of the drug in those already infected with Ebola. TKM-Ebola is being developed under a New Drug Application with the assistance of the Pentagon's medical countermeasures office.
"We have been closely watching the Ebola virus outbreak and its consequences, and we are willing to assist with any responsible use of TKM-Ebola. The foresight shown by the FDA removes one potential roadblock to doing so," Dr. Mark Murray, Tekmira's chief executive, said in a statement. "This current outbreak underscores the critical need for effective therapeutic agents to treat the Ebola virus. We recognize the heightened urgency of this situation, and are carefully evaluating options for use of our investigational drug within accepted clinical and regulatory protocols."
TKM-Ebola currently is in Phase 1 testing; most drugs have to go through three test phases before winning approval for marketing. The drug has been used on non-human primates and proved 100% effective in protecting them from lethal doses of the Zaire Ebola virus.
The announcement comes as other drug makers are hurrying to find a cure for Ebola as the World Health Organization has declared a medical emergency in West Africa. Reports say 932 people have died and nearly 800 more have contracted the disease, mostly in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. One patient, Spanish priest Miguel Pajares, has been flown home to Madrid for treatment.
Two Americans, Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, survived after being treated with a vaccine made by privately held Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc., based in San Diego.
Tekmira's news seems to be having a ripple effect for other anti-Ebola drug makers. BioCryst Pharmaceuticals Inc. /quotes/zigman/54089/delayed /quotes/nls/bcrx BCRX made no significant announcements regarding its drug, now known as BCX4430, but it shares jumped more than 10% at one point and were up 9% in recent action.
BCX4430 proved effective in treating not only Ebola but Marburg virus as well, the company announced in March. BioCryst is developing the drug in conjunction with the U.S. Army's Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases and hopes it will prove effective in treating a number of viruses that pose a threat to health or national security.

Madden 2005
Runs on: PS2, Xbox, Gamecube and PC
Price: $89.95 (PS2 and Xbox)
Classification: G
Rating: * * * *
This isn't the kind of game that is going to appeal to everybody, but if your favourite pastime is watching lots of big guys in plastic armour trying their hardest to bury the opposition, it doesn't get much better than this.
American football is a complicated sport and Madden 2005 mirrors this by being a very deep sports simulator. Even if you don't understand the difference between a Defensive Line Audible and a Secondary Coverage Audible, the inclusion of mini-camps should help you become a pro NFL coach in no time. These teach the fundamentals of the sport more comprehensively than earlier versions of Madden.
The animations have been given a nice polish, with characters now running more realistically. You can even dress up fans using the Create-A-Fan mode.
A huge hit has been the implementation of the "Hit Stick" feature. This allows you to make powerful tackles using the right thumb stick. Your chances of missing are greater, but if you do happen to make contact with that unlucky quarterback, you'll be treated with a suitably bone-crunching result.
The storyline mode is a great addition to the game. From here you can monitor newspapers and radio shows that cover the season, helping you to make better trades and manage the team more efficiently.
The icing on the cake would have been Madden online, but for some bizarre reason EA has decided to remove this feature from the Aussie version. It's going to be a bitter blow when fans realise they didn't get it.
As a single-player NFL game, it doesn't get any better than Madden 2005. It's just a pity that we missed out on the ability to wage football war over Xbox Live.
Endgame: Like NFL? Then you'll love Madden.
Call of Duty: United Offensive
Runs on: PC
Price: $69.95
Classification: MA15+
Rating: * * * *
Call of Duty topped so many gaming charts in 2003 that it was inevitable we'd see an expansion pack. United Offensive has finally stormed the beaches and, while it's a little more expensive than what we're used to paying for an expansion, it breathes some much-needed new life into this classic shooter.
The single-player aspect captures the same intense action of the original, as you wage war among dozens of computer-controlled squad mates and enemies. But CoD: UO ups the ante, with many more of these hectic battle scenes than the original.
You'll also be fighting alongside tanks and ground attack aircraft more often. While the missions are still great fun, the pacing isn't quite as well honed as the original CoD, as it tends to be a little too overwhelming. You'll be using the Quick Save button as often as your trigger, as it's also a more difficult proposition. Experienced gamers can expect to complete the single-player campaign in about eight hours, which isn't bad for an expansion pack.
Multiplayer has been through boot camp again, evolving more than the single-player game. The maps are significantly larger and each is a masterpiece of level design. To get around these expanded battlegrounds, tanks and jeeps have now been included. These vehicles lend the online game a much grander feel, giving it the intensity of the single-player mode.
Several new game types have been included, such as base assault, which pits teams against each other in a race to destroy bunkers. For fans of CoD online, the enhanced multiplayer experience alone is worth the admission price. We'd go so far as to say it's shaping up to be one of the year's best multiplayer games.
Endgame: The single-player mode is great, but it's the multiplayer that makes this a must-have title.

Private mortgage insurance is an insurance policy that a residential mortgage lender requires of the borrower if the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of the home is greater than 80%. Mortgage insurance protects the lender from the risk that the borrower may default on the loan. Federal law requires lenders to notify borrowers when the loan-to-value ratio drops below 80%. Mortgage insurance premiums vary, but generally range from $1,000 to $5,000 a year for an average priced home.

I am a freelance dog training and behavior specialist, providing in home training and behavior consultations, through private lesson packages. I do basic obedience, advanced obedience, puppy training & imprinting, behavior modification, trick training, and assist people in choosing the right puppy or rescue dog for them.
In training, I try to stress the relationship between owner and dog, and that bond is really what makes for effective communication and therefore effective training. Everything is done on leash, so that's an important factor. And I do mostly positive reinforcement training so I try to keep things upbeat and joyful. I do a lot of active training, always trying to keep the dog on it's toes so to speak, and always stressing that the dog should be connecting with it's handler. A slogan that I have started using is "Training solutions for you and your dog" I am targeting people with dogs that are either unruly or they need help training
