Yes. Also, take out 'of'.7. The prime ministers could of showing an obvious dominating power over the King. Should I change of showing to show?

Long before William Crute had his first one-man show, he was staging exhibits for other artists.
For 13 years, in fact, his Hilton Village Gallery ranked among the region's most successful, helping build the careers of such prominent figures as Barclay Sheaks and Williamsburg talent Carlton Abbott.
All during that time and even before, however, Crute labored on his own work when he could and thought about it when he couldn't. Even after closing his gallery in 1993, then shifting careers to work with at-risk and gifted kids, he kept thinking of the day when all he had to do was pay attention to the way his brush moved across the canvas.
Still, no one knew how his gamble would pan out four years ago when the self-taught artist took early retirement to concentrate on his painting.
But all the extra time spent in his modest home studio has not only resulted in awards and representation by several commercial galleries but also a well-received solo exhibit at This Century Art Gallery in Williamsburg.
"I wasn't getting any younger -- and I wanted to give it my best effort. I wanted to see what I could accomplish. So, at 61, I took this leap of faith," Crute says.
"Since then I've been much more focused. I've produced more work than I ever have. And I can do paintings now that I could never have dreamed of doing before."
Few things were further from Crute's mind as a kid growing up on the family farm in south central Virginia during the late 1940s.
For most of his first four years, his grandparents, parents and older sisters traced his coming and going by the accompanying cavalcade of 5 hunting hounds and 2 bird dogs. His world revolved around such vivid sights, sounds and smells as the horses in the fields, the animals rustling in the barn and the warm feeling of a freshly laid egg plucked from its nest on a cold winter morning.
Working in the heart of the tobacco belt, his family was part of a long tradition that reached back to the Revolution -- when one of them served on Lafayette's staff -- and into the 1600s.
"I can still see it all -- the big barn, the big old country house my grandparents lived in, the staircase I slid down as a kid," he says.
"But I'm the only Crute that hasn't been a farmer."
Crute and his family moved to the Peninsula in 1948, when his father took a job at the shipyard.
They lived in a small Hampton home built on what had been the Willis-Eaton farm, and he attended Willis-Sims-Eaton Elementary School.
Inspired by a set of drawings passed down in his family, he picked up a passion for the pencil at an early age and began copying photographs from magazines. At school, he loved the time he spent making art in the hallway.
"If you finished all your work, you got to go out and do murals -- and that was freedom to me," he says.
"So I always got my work done as fast as I could so I could draw and paint."
Not until after he graduated from high school and started taking night classes at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., however, did Crute encounter his real work of art.
Working as a file clerk for the FBI, he visited the National Gallery of Art during a day off. And what he saw changed his life.
"I was amazed. I was in heaven. I'd never seen a real painting," he says. "It was hard to believe I was standing in front of canvases that artists like Van Gogh and Cezanne had worked on."
Despite his excitement, Crute's artistic development took a lengthy, meandering path, beginning with his return to the Peninsula and the demands of juggling his studies at what was then Christopher Newport College with a night job at the shipyard.
Then he joined the Army, left Officer Candidate School with an airborne qualification and served in Panama with a Special Forces detachment.
He began painting while in the service and continued after returning to Christopher Newport. Between 1969 and the early 1970s, his work appeared in the prestigious James River Juried Art Exhibit at The Mariners' Museum several times, winning an award from two nationally prominent jurors.
For much of that decade, however, Crute focused more on his job as a training manager at Noland Corp. than his drawing and painting. Even after he left to open his gallery in 1980, he was often forced to put his art on the back burner.
"He was always pushing other people's work," says Newport News collector Glenn Shepard, a frequent gallery patron.
"But every once in a while he asked if I'd like to see one of his. So I'd go into the back room with him and see these floral studies that no one else had seen. They were incredible -- and I was astounded."
Not until well after closing his gallery, earning a master's degree in special education and working for various Newport News youth commissions did Crute finally embrace his long-buried passion.
When he did, he combined his childhood love for the outdoors with influences from the artists he'd known and befriended -- including Sheaks, especially -- in a way that revived his talent.
"I always thought he had it in him. He had this very thoughtful, very astute interest -- this dream, really -- and now he's doing it," Abbott says.
"His work is very spare, very simple -- with this soft, beautiful coloring that fades into different tones. And it really puts you right into the landscape."
Sometimes very small -- like the miniature landscape scene that won an award in a recent watercolor show -- and sometimes unexpectedly large -- like the big oil and acrylic views found in his solo Williamsburg show -- Crute's recent work pares his subjects down to their essence, says well-known Hampton artist James Warwick Jones.
Yet for all their apparent simplicity, they also pull viewers in, enveloping them in an evocative moment and sense of place filled with mystery and stillness.
Only time will tell, however, if his subtle, highly nuanced explorations of Tidewater marshes, the Blue Ridge Mountains and unconventional vistas from Colorado and California will find a larger audience.
Ditto for his much lusher, more colorful, yet still distinctly contemplative studies of flowers and lily-pad-studded fish ponds.
"A picture has to do two things to be good: It has to get your attention and, after it does, it has to continue to be interesting -- and his work does both," says Fred Miller, who's sold Crute's work at Prince George Art & Frame for several years.
"He makes you want to pull up a chair and look some more."

On Jan. 30, Jon Schmidt, a musician who has reached millions with his music, will walk out on stage at Utah State University, but he won't be hosting a concert.

"It is quality speakers like Jon Schmidt who make this year's Entrepreneur Leadership Series line-up the best we've ever had," Glauser said.

Faces in the floor
Posted 07 May 2007 - 06:28 PM
When I was a child I read a story about a woman who laid tile down in her kitchen after she moved into the house. A few days later, things started appearing in her tile. They looked like....faces. She was rather creeped out by these and after more of them started to appear, she had the tile removed and replaced. But the faces returned. Soon people began to visit her house to see the mysterious faces in the floor. After a while the lady decided to hire people to remove the tile and dig under the floor. Soon after they found out that the poor womans house was located over a graveyard. They had the graves removed and reburied elsewhere, the tile was replaced and the faces never returned.
I read this in a book about true ghost stories, and I was hoping to find out more information on it then I already know from memory. For example where the house was, what time this took place, but mainly the photographs that I saw of the faces. those haunt me and I MUST see them again. Any help in this search would be much appreciated.

Groundbreaking set for new Laney Activities Center
PLAINVIEW – Wayland Baptist University will hold the official groundbreaking for the Pete and Nelda Laney Student Activities Center on Monday, Nov. 21 at 11 a.m. at the building site, located at the intersection of Utica and Eighth Streets.
The brief ceremony will feature a benediction by Vernon Stokes, chairman of the board of trustees, an introduction by Dr. Paul Armes and a response by Mr. Laney, a state representative from Hale Center. University officials and the Laneys will be taking part in the official breaking of ground. A reception will follow immediately in the atrium of the Mabee Learning Resources Center.
The 50,000-square foot facility will be built by Mill-Hicks of Lubbock at a total cost not to exceed $5 million. Initially planned to be a three-phase construction project, the center will now be done in one phase and will include a double gymnasium, an indoor, elevated running track, a weight room and aerobics area, classrooms, a student lounge and snack bar area and a climbing wall.
The Laney Center is expected to be the most significant student life enhancement project on the Plainview campus since the completion of the Mabee LRC in 1996. The facility will provide much needed fitness and recreation space for students and intramural sports. Hutcherson Center will remain the primary location for Wayland's athletic teams, training room and athletic offices.
Construction is expected to be completed by the beginning of the Fall 2006 semester.

South Korea has formulated its list of beef cuts ineligible for its market when U.S. beef imports resume early next month.

themodernfirm needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 150 designs submitted by 43 freelance designers.
Law Office of Thanh Van T. Doan LLC
I am an experienced immigration and family law attorney - I work with people who are looking to become citizens in the United States. I also work with families that are going through divorce and custody issues. What is unique about my practice is that I tend to work in an area where those two overlap - family law issues that occur from an immigrant family. This may include a family member being deported or a divorcing couple that have citizen issues.
Families and working professionals that are having immigration issues, family law problems or both
This logo will be used on my website and print materials. It should be crisp. It will be printed in black and white a lot of the time, so gradients and tiny details or subtle shading will not work as this will get lost in xerox machines, fax machines and copies.
My website is going to be based off of this template, so you can use the colors and design of the site for guidance: http://bit.ly/5IMtwb (THIS LINK IS JUST A SAMPLE, NOT MY SITE)
- Deliver in vector format (AI or InDesign)
- You can put the firm name on two lines "Law Office of" on the first line "Thanh Van T. Doan LLC" on the second line
- Horizontal orientation
- Don't limit yourself, but symbols that represent immigration are US map, passport, statue of liberty, statue of liberty torch, globe
- Symbols that represent family law are people, children, rings, but here again, that's just me, don't limit yourself to just that.
- Logo should have a professional, lawyer-like feel to it, not too high-tech or edgy
- Color possibilities include blue, green, and a shade of yellow (more like autumn/brown yellow)
- Card will be produced with "raised" lettering and logo - not flat

This is definitely in the same universe, and the show does a good job upholding the same aesthetics from the first series (apparently Nodoka's always been stacked). I still find it weird how the further away we get from the mainline series, the more sameish the hair colors become. Shizu's team doesn't have nearly the rainbow variety that Saki and friends had, but it's still pretty easy to tell them apart. They look like a fun group, and there's still two of them we've yet to meet.
Bit of a fast-paced episode, though. A lot of plot to set up in a relatively short amount of time. Things should slow down next week.

Nodoka's in this series also? Awesome. She was one of my favorite characters from the original aside from Saki herself, in a series already flooded with a colorful and interesting cast. I guess this sidestory is more tightly linked to the main series than I was expecting.
Going to watch in a little while, I loved Saki so this is one of the Spring shows I'm anticipating the most.

IMO, they managed to bring back that great nostalgic feeling from the first Saki series. Shizuno seems quite likable as a character also by her loud ways. The only downside is that we probably have little chance to see the character the series is named after.
Here is to hoping Nodoka will not be just a side character in this one, and to the appearance of the godly Saki herself.

Pleasant first episode. Nodoka looks super-cute in her younger form, and as Midonin mentioned, they do a great job of matching the look of the first series, which I for one adore.
The new cast is looking pretty good. Not quite first-season level, but they might just need some time to grow on me. I didn't know Hanazawa Kana was going to be in this either, that's a pleasant surprise if I ever heard one.
I liked how they made Nodoka seem like this aloof, semi-divine figure they had to aspire to challenge. Looked pretty epic, and it is a nice concept for a spin-off series. No doubt I'll be following this one, and likely having a blast with it.

Tsukiyomi -Moon Phase-
nice episode. Little Nadoka already had big breast when she was in elementary school. I'm guessing that this series will focus not on Nodoka though but Nodoka will their goal. Nice to see Tacos and Nadoka together again I was wishing for new material continuing from season 1 but I guess a side story of Nadoka's elementary friends would be alright too.

Just watched the first episode and it was simply wonderful! I mean when at the end when Shizuno, Ako, and Kuro decided that they wanted to be together again, and hopefully one day be able to play with Nodoka again.
I extremely loved Saki, so I have the feeling that this show will be some thing wonderful.

Ahhhh very nice episode. It didn't take away anything from the manga and I really liked the voices of the characters. Seeing this reminded me of the feelings i had for the orginal Saki anime ( i want a season 2) and i can't wait for the next episode.

Okay. Sold.
Absolutely excellent - a faithful adaptation of the manga and I also enjoyed the VA'ing. Also, I really liked the fact that the BGM had many of the same pieces used in the Saki anime. Helped to re-create a definite sameness of feel imo.
This is also totally going on my "absolutely watching" list!
Looks like they may cover material all the way up through the current manga chapters too ... interesting.
Edit: Oh yes - I think Yuuki Aoi makes a perfect addition to the "Saki world"!

UPDATE – One Of Two Suspects Arrested In Lafayette Sandwich Shop Robbery
Update: 28-year-old Joshua Babineaux has been arrested and charged with Armed Robbery in a sandwich shop robbery in November.
Lafayette Police spokesman Corporal Paul Mouton says Joshua Babineaux is one of two black male suspects who went into the business armed with a shotgun and stole an undisclosed amount of money. Police are still trying to identify the second suspect. Call Lafayette Police or Crime Stoppers at (337) 232-TIPS if you have any information.
A sandwich shop in the 200 block of Donlon Street was robbed Tuesday night and Lafayette Police need your help trying to catch the two suspects.
LPD Spokesperson Corporal Paul Mouton says officers were called out around 7:35 and were told the two robbers entered the business wearing dark clothing, gloves and had bandanas covering their faces. Mouton says one of the suspects was armed with a shotgun and demanded money from the employees. The two thieves then stole an undisclosed amount of cash and got away, running towards Moss Street.
Fortunately, no employees were hurt during the robbery. If you have any information, call Lafayette Police or Crime Stoppers at (337) 232-TIPS.

We will cover new electric vehicles, hybrids, bio fuel advancements and more. Be a part of the change with this new and innovative blog!
DrivePwr WITHOUT the .com and the "D" and "P" capitalized
DrivePwr.com is a blog that aims to provide users and guests
with up to date news,information and commentary on the latest innovations in
the auto industry in regards to fuel efficiency and dependency, hybrid

well with the Electric Vehicle (EV) development.

We aim to educate the masses and obtain followers interested in our flow of
information. Our target audience will be
a mix of all demographics, due to the rising price of gas, and the overall
attitude towards the cost of transportation.

Again, we have no specific requirements on colors, just follow all of our
listed guidelines, and I am sure we will find a winner in this

necessary change needed in our critical automotive energy crisis.

Conquer Your Biggest Roadblocks to Thriving on a Paleo Diet.
There's no doubt that the majority of people that switch to a Paleo diet notice significant benefits right away. However, the transition to Paleo doesn't always go so smoothly.
As a clinician with a focus on Paleo nutrition who treats patients around the world, I don't get the easy cases and success stories. Why would they call me? My patients are those that didn't get the experience the "Paleo brochure" promised. These are often folks that started Paleo and improved significantly, but either still have some lingering issues, or maybe even developed some new issues.
- Digestive distress
- Impaired fat burning
- Low energy
- Mood swings
- Carb and sugar cravings
- Feeling even more sluggish than before
But when people came to me, discouraged with their results, I didn't tell them to give it up. I didn't say, "Paleo is not for you."
What I did say is….
Paleo is a Starting Place, Not a Destination.
Your Three Biggest Obstacles and How to Overcome Them
In this eBook, I'll introduce you to the three biggest and most common obstacles encountered by people whose transition to Paleo is a bit of a bumpy ride. I'll not only show you what they are, but I'll show you exactly how I've helped hundreds and hundreds of people to overcome them and go on to happily experience the significant health benefits of eating a Paleo-style diet.
In This eBook You'll Learn:
- The three biggest obstacles to Paleo success and how to overcome them
- How to teach your body to burn more fat and stop relying on sugar for fuel
- Simple steps to take to improve digestion caused by sudden, major dietary changes
- Strategies for avoiding energy crashes, agitation, brain fog, and hunger
- How to minimize sugar and carb cravings as your body adjusts to a Paleo diet
- How diminished detox capacity can prevent you from feeling positive results
I'll Also Show You My Five Tips for Becoming a Paleo Ninja.
After years and years of seeing hundreds of patients overcome these obstacles, it is safe to say that these five simple principles are behind every single success story – and they can be the foundation of your success, too.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which staved off utter disaster for the US economy and which started and has kept it along the road (albeit at a sluggish speed) to recovery, is in need of recovery itself. Because at the moment, it is being falsely represented as a failure. It's not surprising to hear that come from conservatives, who are against any spending that actually benefits people, but the real damage is being done by idiots on the left who scream that because it was 'not big enough', it was a total failure. No ifs, no buts, just 100% fail (naturally, these same people also whine about President Obama giving into right-wing framing, while achieving the exact same result by battering the stimulus from the left. Such is the hypocrisy of this crowd).
Today in the Guardian, in an article entitled 'Obama's Stimulus Failure', Dean Baker, a liberal American economist, basically lays the blame for the size of the stimulus entirely at President Obama's feet while lying about the effect the stimulus had:
If President Obama had been doing his job, he would have immediately begun pushing for more stimulus the day after the first one passed. He should have been straightforward with the American people and said that the stimulus approved by Congress was an important first step, but that the severity of the downturn was so great we would likely need more.
It's not surprising that they don't have the political support for more effective stimulus when they abandoned the effort to make the case almost two years ago.
As you can see, Baker simply cannot comprehend why President Obama could not simply create enough stimulus to feed the battered economy, like Jesus created enough food from 2 fishes and 5 loaves to feed 5000 people. And he has a point…if you ignore the obstructionist GOP which necessitated 60 votes for the bill, the fact moderate Republican votes were needed due to the ongoing battle in Minnesota over Al Franken's seat, that the Democratic Party caucus in the Senate includes conservatives who wrongly view spending with scepticism, and pretend for one moment that President Obama is not Dumbledore. And then he talks about how this is why he has no political support for 'more effective stimulus' now, when he didn't actually have it 2 years ago either. Although he doesn't use the by now hackneyed term, what you see here is the Bully Pulpit Fallacy – the deluded idea that if only President Obama took the case to the American people, votes would suddenly appear for his policies in Congress. Let's just say Baker has as good a grasp of the realities of politics as his better-known fellow economist, Paul Krugman.
Baker's views on the bank bailouts are equally revealing. But before we get into discussion of the bailouts, let's observe the opening paragraph:
Most authors of books on politics or economics are happy when they get one or two prominent members of Congress to endorse their work. It looks like I'm about to get majorities of both chambers to endorse my book, The Conservative Nanny State: How the Wealthy Use the Government to Stay Rich and Get Richer (free download available). There is no other way to describe Henry Paulson's $700bn bail-out deal.
This could be the first paragraph of any article written by any professional media liberal at any point during Obama's presidency. In fact, you could summarise everything ever written by the professional left in three words: "Buy my book!"
The rest of Baker's anti-bailouts column is an argument that the bailouts were wrong, that the banks should have been left to fail because the Federal Reserve would have taken over and all would have been well:
The best argument that the bail-out proponents had was that the failure to do the bail-out could lead to a collapse of the financial system, leaving us unable to use credit cards or ATMs, or otherwise conduct normal financial transactions. This would indeed be scary, since it would imply a complete economic collapse. (I had actually accepted this line.)
Actually this was entirely an idle threat. In the event the banking system really did freeze up, then the Federal Reserve would step in and take over the major banks. (It had contingency plans for such a takeover in the 1980s, when the money centre banks were saddled with billions of dollars of bad developing country debt.)
I don't pretend to know much about economics, but to argue that nothing serious would have happened if the banks hadn't been bailed out is completely insane. Putting ideology above everything else at either end of the political spectrum is dangerous, and while they may be more common on the right, left-leaning ideologues must be equally marginalised.
I chose to blog about this piece not because it's particularly outrageous, but because it's symptomatic of a wider problem among media liberals – a tendency to ignore fact, reality in favour of misty watercoloured memories of a non-existent past where Utopia could have been a reality, if only Barack Obama had done X, or Y, or Z. It's been going on for literally his entire presidency, and I'm fucking tired of it.

Teens explore stimulus act, win math competition: Six high school student teams take home big scholarship prizes
Teens explore stimulus act, win math competition: Six high school student teams take home big scholarship prizes
Thirty students from four states were awarded team scholarship prizes ranging from $2,500 to $20,000 and were announced as the 2009 Moody's Mega Math Challenge winners this week after presenting their papers that evaluated the stimulus package's effect on employment to a panel of Ph.D.-level applied mathematicians during the final round of judging at the Moody's Corporation headquarters in Manhattan. The top six teams come from schools in Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. In total, 389 teams from high schools in 12 states, from Maine to Washington, D.C., participated in the 2009 Challenge.
The teams overwhelmingly concluded that the stimulus package would work, given enough time. Impressively, the Champion team from High Technology High School in Lincroft, New Jersey, concluded that over the next three years, the stimulus act would create about 3.2 million jobs. Their model determined that tax breaks would produce the greatest increases in employment, approximately one million jobs, with education and infrastructure spending producing about 600,000 and 500,000 jobs respectively. The students also predicted that unemployment would fall to 6.22% by 2012. However, if this estimate were to fall short, a second stimulus package would be needed, focusing on unemployment benefits, food stamps, and aid to state governments.
"This was real data. We were doing the same sort of analysis that economists all over the country were doing using these huge, public data sets, finding out real, relevant, up-to-the-minute conclusions," said Matthew Warshauer, the lone junior from the High Technology High School team. His teammate, Steve Castellano, added, "Working on an applied math problem like this, where you see how everything relates to each other, was much more enjoyable and interesting than your typical science homework."
After giving their 15-minute PowerPoint presentations in which they explained their solutions and justified their conclusions to this year's Challenge problem, "$787 Billion: Will the Stimulus Act Stimulate the Economy?" the top six teams, comprising 30 students dressed neatly in professional attire, answered tough questions from the judging panel before gathering with their teammates and coaches to anxiously await the final results. Many reflected on the 14 hours they spent working on the problem back in early March, while some discussed the ups and downs of their presentations with other teams.
Charlie O'Leary, a member of the second place team from Elk County Catholic High School in Saint Marys, Pennsylvania, noted that although the Challenge was labeled as a math competition it actually incorporated a lot more than that. "It involved social sciences and English and mathematics, and seeing how that applies to real life was interesting."
James Crowley, Executive Director of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, which organizes and administers the competition, was on the panel of judges for the presentations. Judges review papers and select the best ones to go to the final round, but he said it is always amazing to see the presentations from the top six teams. "The presentations are always impressive, and this year's top six teams were especially strong in both their presentations and their ability to field questions from the judges. They were able to grapple with a difficult problem, construct mathematical models, and do thoughtful analysis based on those models. As several of participants noted, they learned a lot about a subject area (the economics of the stimulus package) in a very short amount of time, and were able to work as a team to produce some useful results. Each of these teams is a winner."

The 2009 Challenge, held on March 7-8, required student teams to evaluate whether the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 will in fact stimulate the economy. The problem called for teams to mathematically assess the elements of the stimulus package that will most likely produce the greatest improvements in employment. They quantified their findings using mathematical modeling and quantitative analysis techniques, developed and defended their models, and justified their conclusions. Teams also had to gauge how quickly elements of the stimulus package are expected to generate results, ascertain how they will know if the package is working, and indicate a confidence level in their predictions. Additionally, they were asked to discuss whether a second stimulus package would be needed, and if so, how large it should be and how it should be structured. Finally, they were challenged to propose other, better ways to stimulate the economy and increase U.S. employment.
The top six winning solutions, photo galleries, and webcasts of the presentations and awards ceremony will be posted to the M3 Challenge website in the next week.
About the Challenge
Moody's Mega Math Challenge spotlights applied mathematics as a powerful problem-solving tool, as a viable and exciting profession, and as a vital contributor to advances in an increasingly technical society. Scholarship prizes total $80,000 in 2009. The annual Challenge is entirely Internet-based and there are no entrance or participation fees. High schools from Maine to Washington, D.C. may enter up to two teams of three to five students each. Students choose which day they wish to work on Challenge weekend and have 14 hours to solve an open-ended, realistic, applied math-modeling problem focused on real-world issues. Teams can work from any location they choose and can use any free and publicly available resources, but they may not discuss any aspect of the problem with, or seek help from, their coach or anyone other than their teammates.

Six months after settling a 30-month contract impasse, Waynesboro Area School District teachers and school board representatives are headed back to the bargaining table this month to hash out the terms of a new contract.
WAYNESBORO — Six months after settling a 30-month contract impasse, Waynesboro Area School District teachers and school board representatives are headed back to the bargaining table this month to hash out the terms of a new contract.
The current three-year contract expires June 30, 2013.
No specific date for the bargaining session has been set.
Last year, a settlement was reached in mid-June, when both sides accepted a mediator's proposal for the terms of a three-year contract encompassing 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13.
The final agreement included a 2.25 percent raise for this academic year; zero employee contribution to health insurance premiums; and higher health care deductibles of $1,200 for a single employee and $2,400 for a family.
Waynesboro teachers authorized a strike twice during the negotiations but never acted on the authorization.
Fresh start
Both sides are optimistic about the process and are ready to put the last 2 1/2 years of sometimes tense negotiations behind them.
"The new WAEA leadership is optimistic about coming to an agreement," Heather Gaylor, WAEA vice president, said in an e-mail. The negotiating team for WAEA, which represents 275 teachers, will be comprised of Angie Cales, WAEA president and chief negotiator, Cori Urey, Mike Engle, Caroline Tassone and Gaylor.
"We are looking forward to coming together as a team with the association to negotiate a new contract and we are optimistic that this can be accomplished in a timely manner," Rita Daywalt, Waynesboro Area School Board member, wrote in an e-mail. Daywalt will be joined by Chris Lind and Leland Lemley at the negotiating table.
"Both sides can blame the other for going 2 1/2 years without a contract, but we both need to let go of the past and start fresh, otherwise there will be no progress and talks will drag out," said Gaylor.
What's important
Major priorities for WAEA include "having competitive salaries and benefits with other Franklin County schools to keep and attract the best teachers for our children's classrooms," said Gaylor.
"The board's main priority is now, and has always been, to guarantee the district continues to provide the students with the very best academic opportunities available," said Daywalt.
In the past, the board cited a downed economy as one of the reasons for not supporting higher wage increases proposed by the WAEA membership.
"Although the market has not improved, it appears to have stabilized, said Daywalt, who added there is no indication that the Waynesboro district will receive additional funding from either the state or the federal government this year. "However, the board has made adjustments to the district's staffing, programming and spending while maintaining the highest standards of education."
"There are fewer issues on the table, as we have just closed this past contract over the summer," said Gaylor. "The WAEA is hoping to move forward in coming to an agreement that is fair for both sides."

Turkish PM Erdogan weighs in on US health care law
ISTANBUL (AP) — Add Turkey's prime minister to President Barack Obama's allies in a fight over health care which has paralyzed much of the U.S. government.
In a rare comment on U.S. domestic policy, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday praised Obama's health care law and expressed puzzlement that some are trying to block it.
"It's such a beautiful step and to tell the truth, Mr. Obama should be supported," Erdogan said in a speech in Ankara. "There are those who say: 'You cannot spend my earnings on others.' Now, how is this possible?"
Obama's 2010 health care law is at the center of a budget standoff in Washington that has led to a partial government shutdown.
Erdogan said the law benefits those who cannot afford health care. Citing a dictum from the Ottoman sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent, Erdogan added that human life should be held above all other interests of the state.
"Human beings are so important that we put them above all else," Erdogan said.

Actually Flit fight to protect but the anime didn't do him justice
It only show that he want to eliminate the Vegan but never show why he decide todo that and make him look like a revenger when it really isn't.
The novel of Asemu Arc show his inner thought which never be portrayed in the anime.
His reason to decide to eliminate the Vegan is "to protect everyone on earth whom he think of them like his family"
And there are no revenge issues for Yurin, his mother or anyone else concerning in this. It just a pure fight to protect.
Some may think his method is harsh but that's because he relly see them as a threat.
It's just like what he said to Olfenoa "You can't protect anything without fighting for it"

There is the purpose of also differing from three persons, respectively, and future deployment is visible naturally.
Since many important persons were also taken by the Veigan, a Veigan's annihilation is the purpose.
In order to protect an important person, a battle is not avoided, but he does not want the federation and Veigan to win.
Both are attacked and postponing a problem has been continued for 13 years.
Although not necessarily betrayed, since feeling has moved also to the enemy, the battle which is not killed is started.
There is still no clear thought in since it is a child.

Guess this episode answers the question of the AGE-3's fate. They won't restore it so they could finally scrap the AGE-1. They will just equip the AGE-1 with a new wear. Guess it almost makes sense since AGE-3 was built mainly for fighting on Earth. I don't know if it was just due to Kio sucking in space, but the AGE-3 didn't particularly do well in space and Orbital sacrificed too much power for mobility.

Darth Sidious instigated the Clone Wars and played both sides, keeping one side from beating the other, in order to draw it out as long as possible to kill as many Jedi as possible. Does that make him a good person? Hell, I'm willing to call him a war mongerer as war is good for business.
If he's going to go that route then he should make an effort to capture the units themselves. This would prevent them from getting into a new unit and then killing more people later down the road. It would also allow him to speak his case and the truth.
But we can't have that now can we?

I wouldn't say the Orbital sacrificed power. Its Sigmasis Long Rifle was still able to punch through the EM Armor of the most powerful mass-production mobile suit at the time, and it had homing shots to boot. Add in the mobility and the beam sabers and the Orbital can still be a force to be reckoned with.

business thrives on war.
here's some quotes from War is a Racket, written by US Marine Major General Smedley Butler
"War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."
I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.
Some info on the guy that wrote those words:
During his 34-year career as a Marine, he participated in military actions in the Philippines, China, in Central America and the Caribbean during the Banana Wars, and France in World War I. By the end of his career, he had received 16 medals, five for heroism. He is one of 19 men to twice receive the Medal of Honor, one of three to be awarded both the Marine Corps Brevet Medal and the Medal of Honor, and the only man to be awarded the Brevet Medal and two Medals of Honor, all for separate actions.

However, your premise was that businesses want to stay away from wars, which is patently false. Wars on a whole are started as a means of gaining market access. When a country subjugates another country this is a means of gaining a new market to sell products to. The Opium Wars were all about gaining access into the Chinese market, the Crusades were really about the spice trade, US colonization in the late 1800s early 1900s were about finding new markets because of the industrial revolution.
War is ALWAYS about money, and it's businesses and business interests that try to spur us into war. Even the war on terror fundamentally is about business interests, particularly Osama Bin Laden's motivation wasn't that he hates western ideology, but the economic interference bred by the US' Israel policy. All that religious fanaticism is to get cannon fodder to fight, just like how the Crusaders said it was about trying to get the Holy Land from the muslims, how WWI was about the assassination of the arch duke, or how the US was primarily in the war to avenge Pearl Harbor.

So, the final arc begins...
1. Kio is sold on his naive Kira-style no kill policy. While it's hard to disagree with the policy overall, I still say it's naive.
2. Flit = kill them all...guess he just doesn't age well enough. Technically his policy is the only thing that can truly end the fight.
3. Asemu = Screw both side, I'll strip both sides of eventually everything so no one can fight anymore. Of course, that is, if he doesn't take all of those power and use it himself . No wonder Vegan and Feddie will fight for 100 years.
4. Fram with Farsia Mk-II next episode. Will see how long she survived out there.
5. FA AGE-1, and I still don't understand why Flit doesn't build himself a new Gundam with all his power...
6. And the "Super-clone" appear, and Zeheart will sooner or later not be "the annointed one" anymore.

Uh when one side has been destroyed then usually the war ends that way. I mean you can't fight a war when one side has been defeated.
Of course, this war hasn't been fought like all other wars since it's just one big test so Flit's way wouldn't end well.
In any case the way the show is set up is that all three will have to work together to end this war and be the saviour for both sides. I mean they covered all sides of the spectrum pretty well.

Hitler's body count is ~ 6-7 million, and blaming the war solely on him is stupid. The war is a direct result of European arrogance who against US objections, decided to humiliate Germany and make them pay reparations for WWI.

Wheaton, Ill. - The Wheaton Thunder football team def. Augustana 36-7 on Saturday afternoon at McCully Stadium. Wheaton has now won four in a row and is 7-1 on the season with a 4-1 record in Conference play. Augustana is 2-6 overall and 2-3 in the CCIW.
Wheaton will travel to CCIW leader North Central next Saturday for a 1 PM kickoff in Naperville.
Wheaton tallied 460 yards of offense, with 368 passing yards and 92 rushing yards. The Vikings had 181 yards of offense as Augustana ran for 56 yards and gained 125 yards through the air.
Thunder senior quarterback Garrett Meador completed 26 of his 36 passing attempts for 368 yards, with five touchdown passes. Today's effort marked Meador's fourth game of 300 yards or more for the season. Teddy Watkins caught nine passes for 114 yards, with one touchdown catch. Freshman receiver Mark Hiben caught five passes for 93 yards with a pair of touchdown receptions. Junior tailback Peter Jarrett carried the ball 14 times for 55 yards and he caught two passes for 54 yards.
Senior linebacker Jordan Chapman led the Thunder defense with seven total tackles, including two for lost yardage (-9 yards). Defensive linemen JD East and Brandon Dykstra each made five tackles, with East adding 1-1/2 tackles for lost yardage (-3 yards).
Augustana quarterback David Lee completed 13 of his 24 passing attempts for 116 yards, with one touchdown pass. Zachary McCullough led the Vikings' receiving corps with seven catches for 57 yards and Brett McWilliams ran for 51 yards on 11 carries. Mike O'Donoghue and Joe Weber each led the Augustana defense with nine total tackles.
Wheaton took a 14-0 lead with touchdown on its first two drives of the games as Meador threw five-yard touchdown passes to Watkins and fullback Brannen Dorman to cap each of those drives. Kicker Scott Roche capped Wheaton's first-quarter scoring with a 28-yard field to give the Thunder a 17-0 lead with 35-seconds left in the opening quarter.
Wheaton led the Vikings 29-0 at halftime thanks to a pair of Meador touchdown passes to Hiben. Hiben's first score was a diving 45-yard reception in the end zone and his second touchdown catch was a 24-yarder with 55-seconds left in the first half.
Meador's final touchdown toss came in the third quarter when he connected with senior Justin Zeller on a nine-yard touchdown that extended Wheaton's lead to 36-0 with 2:38 left in the third quarter. Augustana's lone touchdown came with 4:28 remaining in the game when Lee threw a one-yard touchdown toss to account for the 36-7 final outcome

Eugene F. Stiker
Eugene F. Stiker is my 2nd great grandfather. He is the third of six children born to Gustav Justin and Louisa (Canet) Stiker, born 19 May 1869.
Eugene's parents were both born in France and immigrated to the United States around 1838. This makes him my first American-born ancestor in this family line. He lived his entire life in Indiana, born and raised in Evansville (Vanderburgh County) and eventually settling 20 miles away in Mt. Vernon (Posey County) around 1900.
Eugene married Jeanette Heerdink on 20 Jun 1894 in Vanderburgh County. The couple had seven children over the next 12 years: Justin, Frank, Vera, Lucile Frances (my great-grandmother), Lillian, Eugene L. "Tex," and Raymond.
Eugene worked for the Evansville & Terre Haute Railroad from approximately 1885 (around age 16) until at least 1930, according to census records. His first job with the railroad was as a "laborer." At some point he was promoted to "fireman," and then eventually to "engineer" in 1892. During the 45 years that he was employed by the railroad, it changed hands a few times, finally being known as the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad by 1930.
He died at the age of 66 on 15 Nov 1935 in Evansville, Indiana and is buried at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery.

... the the ... health care costs ... they are skyrocketing anymore as it turns out ... for the third consecutive year in twenty eleven health costs rose three point nine percent ... that's faster than inflation but much slower than in recent years ... two questions come to mind at what's behind the slower growing costs and is the trend sustainable ... Melinda Beck as the de tails in her Outlook column joins us now Melinda good morning I'm Ralf of eight so ... why are costs growing more slowly than they have in the past month this is something acontecer wondering because of those ... different things for the future ... one theory is that ... demand has been held down because of lingering rest ... effects of the recession people still aren't ... on engaging elective surgeries and keeping a home down on ... on on drugs which may not be a good sign on ... the other theory is that this is really the start ... of a new year off on and thanks to you on some of the Obama administration's efforts to hold costs down ... and either way you can take ... you to use you see the trendline going a different direction ... is this ... a well actually before we get that anymore what impact the Affordable Care Act going ... immediately ... we gave him a friend who was in time ... national spending on health expenditures which is that one big number that with that because ... starting in twenty fourteen ... millions of people who have not had insurance before will have access to an end ... one thought is that there's a lot of pent-up demand to concede doctors for people haven't been able to afford to ... attend ... but it was late getting back to the ... the overall trend line in cost is improving is that sustainable trend ... we laughed because the word yes there's a lot more going on there a lot of behind or not they're not ... being drivers that it did make it harder and harder to keep a lid on costs and when is he say is ... demographics another ten thousand baby boomers are turning sixty five every day right now ... and after your flight ... average health care costs are about ... three times what they are for younger adults so that's ... a huge groundswell making for more spending ... and there are other issues here for instance the technology ... while ... TROW costs of their given a little of that discovery has been kept on drug costs because we're not seen I think some revolutionary new therapies ... therein and getting um I'm I'm I'm ... blockbuster brand name drugs gone off patent which is that it is at a big driver down on the other hand technology is enabling some new procedures which may or may not be very helpful but people are asking for them nonetheless while this is one of the most fascinating and insidious part set of health care costs is that ... in most industries new technologies keep costs down make things more efficient but ... not so in health care for a number of reasons and and one is that they had in situations such as a lot less expensive for ... companies to make ... drugs into just a little bit better and I'm not a tax on the market it's easy to get them approved ... see not getting a whole lot of loose but that cost me go way out and ... a lot of medical devices and surgical procedures ... seem great and and aam Mikey will reduce the number of side effects and prostate cancer but ... over the long term people really are living in the longer having fewer side ... rail ... one thing you could theoretically do is try to discourage ... folks from getting some of these therapies that ... it ... hadn't been shown to be very effective over what is already the law and cheaper ... and yet there's a scary word associated ... the rationing right yes ... ALM ... one thing to to be aware of men and a still blows me away everytime I think about it is that ... when Medicare is deciding what therapies few proven cover ... its not allowed to take costs into consideration ... so that way you have makes no sense right ... and on a number of health care economists said ... in less ... time we have some decent plane in what Medicare will approve ... expanded course down by the insurers tend to follow ... they will never be able to hold the stance I talk to one economist Arthur ... killer minute run brand Institute he said ... okay let's figure out what is the ... least expensive highly infected ... not technology the way to do something and then it ... individual citizens are doctors who want the next step I'm ... officially Monday pay more for ... any law that would encourage on the company's device companies to really go for real innovation ok ...
