DENVER -- The goaltender known as "Jiggy" is stepping away from the net. Jean-Sebastien Giguere announced his retirement Thursday after 16 NHL seasons in which he won 262 games, a Conn Smythe Trophy and a Stanley Cup championship. The Colorado Avalanche say Giguere made his decision in Quebec while with the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada hockey team. Hes part owner of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League squad. "His achievements speak for themselves, from winning the Stanley Cup to winning the Conn Smythe, Jiggy was always a top-notch goaltender," team executive Joe Sakic said in a statement. "He was also a very important part of our team during the past three seasons, providing veteran leadership and stability in net. We wish him and his family the best of luck." Giguere served as Semyon Varlamovs backup last season in Hall of Fame goaltender Patrick Roys first season behind the bench. The team made it back to the post-season for the first time since 2010. Whats more, Giguere took rookie Nathan MacKinnon under his wing and allowed the talented teenager to live in the familys basement all season. The two even car-pooled to games and practices. The 37-year-old Giguere is best known for his time with the Anaheim Ducks. He led the team to two appearances in the Stanley Cup finals, capturing the Conn Smythe Trophy in defeat in 2003 and hoisting the Cup in 2007. The Ducks fans even gave Giguere an ovation after a game in Anaheim, California, last April. He skated to centre ice that night with former teammate Teemu Selanne, their clasped hands held aloft. Selanne recently retired after a 21-season NHL career spent mostly with Anaheim. "For (Selanne) to do that, its something thats very special for me, and something Ill never forget," Giguere said. Giguere was originally drafted by Hartford with the 13th overall pick 1995 and played eight games with the Whalers in 1996-97. He was the last active player to have suited up for Hartford. A fan favourite wherever he went, Giguere also played for Calgary and Toronto. Giguere played in 597 regular season games and faced 16,325 shots in 33,719 minutes. He finished his career with a 2.53 goals-against average and 38 shutouts.
. The 2014 edition will be the ninth meeting between the Caps and Vikes in a tradition that dates back to 2005. "Since the original Whitecaps, the club has enjoyed fantastic support from fans in Victoria and all across Vancouver Island," said Whitecaps FC president Bob Lenarduzzi.
.C. -- Theyll remember the OT from the first Syracuse-Duke game -- and the Ts that decided Round 2.
. At quarterback, all agree that Andy Dalton has been a wonderful surprise, but to truly progress he has to play his best in the playoffs. The two losses in the wildcard rounds keep the evaluation on Dalton open -- just like it did for Peyton Manning many years ago and Matt Ryan until last year.
. Traditional contenders Brazil, Greece and Turkey drew the other three spots to complete the 24-team field for this summers tournament in Spain, basketball governing body FIBA announced Saturday at its meeting in Barcelona.EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France -- Going up against a seven-time major winner more than twice her age, it was teenager Hyo-Joo Kim who showed the calm nerves of a veteran. Kim came from a shot back on the last hole to beat Australian great Karrie Webb by one shot on Sunday and win the Evian Championship, becoming the third youngest major winner at 19 years, 2 months. The South Korean trailed the 39-year-old Webb heading into the 18th but turned the tables with a birdie from 12 feet out. Webb then missed a chance to force a playoff when a difficult attempt for par from the same distance drifted left of the hole. I feel very happy, like a bird, Kim said through a translator. I want to fly in the sky. Kim led Webb by one shot overnight and they both posted 3-under rounds of 68 in perfect conditions, with no clouds or wind to disrupt them. She finished on 11-under 273 overall, having shot the lowest ever round in a major with a 61 on Thursday. Webb, meanwhile, was looking to win her eighth career major and first since Kraft Nabisco in 2006. I believe in fate a little bit, and I wasnt meant to win, Webb said. I hit a lot of good putts this week. Probably the one on the last was the poorest I hit all week. Only Morgan Pressel and Lexi Thompson -- both from the U.S. -- have won majors at a younger age than Kim, who is studying physical education in Seoul. She seemed to take it all in her stride. When Webbs putt rolled wide, Kim removed her glasses slowly and then walked up to give Webb a small hug. Her caddie, Gordon Rowan, said Kim didnt know shed won at first. I dont think she was aware of the real situation of the scores, Rowan said. I said Youve won. She said No, no, I havent, which was quite sweet. Kim and Rowan were paired randomly the last time she played Evian, tying for fourth in 2012 -- the final year before Evian became the fifth major. Its a partnership that hass flourished since.dddddddddddd My player at the time hadnt qualified, so I just offered my services, Rowan recalled. She was a young amateur, they were looking for a caddie. Webb finished ahead of three other South Koreans. Ha-Na Jang and Mi-Jung Hur were tied for third at 9 under, with Na-Yeon Choi in fifth another shot back. Defending champion Suzann Pettersen of Norway was one behind her. Choi birdied 12 and 14, but the U.S. Womens Open champion from 2012 dropped back when she bogeyed the 16th, and Webb was level with Kim with three to play. The shot of the day belonged to Japans Mika Miyazato: a hole in one on the 16th. Meanwhile, Michelle Wie, who pulled out during the first round because of a recurrence of her right index finger injury, won the inaugural Rolex Annika Major award. Named after retired Swedish great Annika Sorenstam, it honours the player with the best overall record in the five majors. Wie won the U.S. Womens Open and finished second at the Kraft Nabisco. Webb looked certain to clinch her 42nd LPGA title with two to play. Kims approach on the 16th almost rolled into the water, leaving her a difficult uphill par putt from the fringe, which she missed as Webb took the lead with a par from 4 feet. Webb missed a long birdie chance on the 17th and was way short, before a par from six feet. But that composure left her on the last, when her second shot went too long. About 30 feet from the pin, Webb chose to chip and almost made an improbable birdie as the ball rolled just past the hole, but then carried on downhill for about 12 feet. I dont know what hit me actually, Webb said. Just probably a rush of adrenaline. Kim punched the air after making her birdie. I was very nervous, she said It didnt show. The shot is definitely very mature, Webb said. I left the foot off the pedal a little bit. But she still had to make it.

Longtime South Florida Educational FCU CEO Hubert Sibley Dies

MIAMI – Considered one of the movement's early pioneers, Hubert Sibley, 85, the former president/CEO of South Florida Educational Federal Credit Union, died on Jan. 14. Sibley died of complications from a stroke he had suffered nearly a year and a half ago. Sibley was considered a legend within the Miami-Dade County School System here, having served as the president/CEO of the $604 million credit union for more than 50 years. He retired on Jan. 7, 2004. During his five-decade tenure, the credit union went through a few name changes; membership grew from 2,000 to 47,000; and assets passed the $550 million mark. Sibley was also responsible for a physical fitness program that awarded credit union employees with cash prizes and vacations if they reached certain goals. He also launched a scholarship program that pays for 15 students to attend Florida colleges through the Florida Prepaid College Program. The Atlanta native started his credit union career as an examiner for NCUA visiting more than 100 credit unions each year. Sibley also played a very significant role in the establishment and early success of NAFCU and was the association's principal organizer in the East. His recruitment efforts in Florida were instrumental in the initial extension of NAFCU's membership beyond California, which was then the association's stronghold. In 1968, Sibley was elected to NAFCU's board as director of Region III, the first region outside the West with enough NAFCU members to warrant a board representative. In 1996, the Miami-Dade County School System named a school in his honor – the Hubert O. Sibley Elementary School in Miami. The family has asked that donations be made to the school to honor Sibley. Memorial services have been held. Sibley is survived by Madalynne, his wife of 63 years, his sons Bert and Mark, and four grandchildren.

Italian locations: film commissions
By Sheri Jennings2007-04-27T00:00:00+01:00
Italy has 16 regional film commissions, all battling to create their own film funds and bolster production in their regions.
The undisputed frontrunners are the Turin Piedmont film commission and the Friuli-Venezia-Giulia film commission, based in north-east Italy, both of which offer cash funds for approved projects.
The Turin commission has just launched a $32m (EUR23.5m) equity fund in partnership the US's Endgame Entertainment under the newly formed Piedmont Film Company.
Projects with budgets ranging from $5m-$25m (EUR3.7m-EUR18.4m) and that have 75% of their budget secured, will be selected by an international committee looking for commercial prospects. The first projects will be approved in the autumn.
Meanwhile, the Friuli-Venezia-Giulia film fund provides cash grants from $6,500-$130,000 (EUR4,800-EUR95,600) to EU and non-EU TV and film producers that shoot in the region, depending on the length of time spent there.
Inspired by this example, film commission national co-ordinator Jacques Lipkau Goyard is convinced other commissions will follow suit and believes Umbria, Sardinia and the Campagnia regions could soon offer incentives.
Despite Rome - where Doug Liman's Jumper recently shot - and the central Lazio region being home to 80% of the national and international TV and film productions, the Rome/Lazio film commission is in transition as it absorbs the Rome Cinema Film Commission. The new commission aims to join five central regions and the capital, and offer incentives such as the reimbursement of VAT tax to non-EU productions.

There are many parts of Africa that are perfectly safe for international travelers. Southern and Eastern Africa are great places to start—these areas are popular with tourists because it is relatively easy to get around and there are great campgrounds. This basic advice can help you make sure you have a safe camping trip in Africa.
Photocopy important documents: Be sure to keep copies of your passport, visas, driver's license and other important documents and keep them in a safe place. If your passport is close to expire you can renew us passport here. Leave valuables at home: Leave expensive jewelry at home. The last thing you need is to give someone a reason to steal from you. If you have any other valuables that you can live without for your trip, leave those at home too. Also, keep in mind that if you are going on an extending camping trip, you will likely wear out most of your clothes due to the rough environment. It's a good idea to pack clothes that you are okay replacing when you get home.
Be discreet: If you are coming to Africa, chances are you will want to carry camera equipment to get once in a lifetime photos of your travels. We lived and traveled in Africa for four years without any problems, but it's important to be discreet. Put your camera away when you are not using it—remember that much of Africa has huge issues with poverty; you don't want to flash your fancy electronics unnecessarily. In your car, keep valuables hidden.
Lock your doors: Keep your doors locked if you are traveling by car. It's okay to keep the windows down, but in crowded areas be sure to roll them up. On safari, be sure to keep your windows rolled up unless you are looking out that window—this is to make sure you don't have an unwanted visitor in the car when you aren't looking!
Water Safety: It's a good idea to be careful about where your water comes from while traveling in Africa. Many foreigner-owned campsites throughout the continent will have filtered water that is safe to drink. In other places, it's a good idea to use a filter, or buy bottled. Be sure that the bottles are sealed—people are notorious for filling used bottles and reselling them.
Vaccinations & Medications: Vaccination requirements vary from country to country, and change frequently. Consult the Center for Disease Control website and talk to your local doctor about what they advise for vaccinations. Some countries require proof of vaccines—they will no allow you entry to the country if you do not have proof of the vaccination. If you are on prescription medications, be sure to carry your prescription and make sure to have an adequate supply of your medications for the duration of your trip.
Malaria Precautions: Malaria is a real issue throughout many parts of Africa. Anti-malaria prophylactics are recommended in many areas. Discuss the options with your doctor—there are a variety of medications available with various side effects. While camping, make sure your tent has working mosquito nets—use them all the time. Even while on anti-malarial medications, it's important to use bug spray.
Animal Safety: One of the reasons you are planning an African camping adventure is to see animals. But, they can also pose a significant safety risk. Be sure to keep food and trash secure. Be aware of your surroundings and ask locals if there is anything you need to be worried about. Lions and other predators will not likely be a concern, but elephants, hippos and snakes can be a problem for campers.
If you are camping throughout Africa, you will need to be concerned about safety. But, if you use a bit of caution and common sense, you should have a wonderful, and safe, experience!


Can I Renew my Permanent Residency Card if I lived in the US with my Canadian Spouse?
Yes you can renew your Permanent Residency Card in this situation given that you are outside of Canada with your Canadian spouse. The days you are outside Canada can count towards your days for maintaining your permanent residence. However, these rules do not apply for Canadian citizenship. Unless your husband is working for a the Canadian government or agency abroad, your days outside of Canada will not be counted towards Canadian citizenship.


Markets have become data sensitive as varying economic news moved equities and bonds in anticipation of a looming Fed rate hike. Some members of the Federal Reserve are leaning towards a rate increase before the end of the year rather than waiting until next year.
Growth estimates for the economy were revised down again in August with GDP growth revised to a 1.1% annual growth rate. Even though economic data has been mixed, the Fed may consider some of the data strong enough to raise rates sooner. Some Federal Reserve watchers believe that comments made by Fed members in August were meant to shore up rates a bit without the Fed actually raising rates, a tactic used before.
The S&P 500 index will have a new sector added in September with Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) comprising the 11th sector of the index. REITs have been part of the financial sector for years and have now earned their own designated category with an expected 3% allocation.
Internationally, worries still abound regarding the uncertainty of the EU's future without Britain. Of concern is the lack of new capital investments by companies as a result of new rules that will take up to two years to formalize. Some see possible correlations between the EU vote in Europe and the U.S. presidential election in November, as polls failed to capture the voting intentions of marginalized and antiestablishment voters during the Brexit vote in Great Britain.
Volatility with oil prices continued producing reactions to headlines surrounding inventories, production, and OPEC policies. Domestic oil drillers and energy companies have been quick to acclimate to lower oil prices by retooling and curtailing production and costs. Decisions to increase production is seen as a validation that debt levels are under control and companies are positioned to expand, as long as oil prices stay around $50 per barrel.

It is the policy of this school district to not discriminate on the basis of handicap, sex, national origin, religion, race, sexual orientation or age in its education programs, activities or employment as required by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Copies of the full policies (#9140 and #5020) are available in each building office.
The Board of Education has a policy prohibiting sexual harassment in our schools. Sexual harassment is generally defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.
The C-RCS administration, faculty, staff and students are responsible for assuring that the environment for work and study is free from sexual harassment. Sexual harassment violates the dignity of individuals and will not be tolerated.
The Board of Education seeks to eliminate sexual harassment through education and by encouraging faculty, staff and students to report concerns or complaints. Prompt corrective measures will be taken to stop sexual harassment if ever it occurs. A copy of the full policy is available in each school office.
Any student, employee or school district officer who believes discrimination or sexual harassment has occurred should report the alleged misconduct immediately so that corrective action may be taken. Please contact the building principal; Section 504 & Title IX Compliance Officer William Wolfanger (234-3165); Title IX Compliance Officer Melissa Ausfeld (234-3565); the U.S. Department of Education (800-421-3481); or the New York Office for Civil Rights (646-428-3900).
Asbestos Management Plan (Annual Notification of Availability)
In accordance with the EPA's Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) of 1987 (40 CFR Part 763), the Cobleskill-Richmondville Central School District is required to give annual notification stating that the Asbestos Management Plan for each building is available and kept in the main office of each building and in the office of the Superintendent of Buildings & Grounds. These records are available for review during normal school business hours.
In addition, in accordance with this act, a six-month periodic surveillance is conducted in each building that contains asbestos. The periodic surveillances are conducted in June and December of each year.
Before the start of any project we will make sure all building occupants are properly notified and all signage will indicate the scope of the project.
For more information, please contact William Himme, Supervisor of Buildings & Grounds and LEA Asbestos Designee at (518) 234-4133.
As part of a required school health examination, a student is weighed and his/her height is measured. These numbers are used to figure out the student's body mass index or 'BMI.' The BMI helps the doctor or nurse know if the student's weight is in a healthy range or is too high or too low.
New York State Education Law require that BMI and weight status group be included as part of the student's school health examination. A sample of school districts will be selected to take part in a survey by the New York State Department of Health. If C-RCS is selected to be part of the survey, we will be reporting to New York State Department of Health information about our students' weight status groups. Only summary information is sent. No names and no information about individual students are sent. However, you may choose to have your child's information excluded from this survey report.
The information sent to the New York State Department of Health will help health officials develop programs that make it easier for children to be healthier.
If you do not wish to have your child's weight status group information included as part of the Health Department's survey this year, please contact your school nurse.
If you suspect a child is being abused or maltreated (neglected), report it by calling 1-800-342-3720, a toll-free 24-hour hotline operated by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services. If you believe a child is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local police department. Information about reporting child abuse and maltreatment (neglect) is available online at http://ocfs.ny.gov/main/cps/.
Under NCLB, Title I schools must notify parents in a timely manner of their child's level of achievement on state assessments.
Child Taught by Teacher Who Is Not Highly Qualified
Schools must give timely notice to parents when their child has been assigned, or has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by, a teacher who is not highly qualified.
This summary, based on the district's Code of Conduct, Board of Education policies and state laws on Schools Against Violence in Education (SAVE), outlines the rules and procedures under which the Cobleskill-Richmondville Central School District operates. A complete copy of the Code of Conduct can be obtained from the main office of any school building. The Code of Conduct includes Board of Education policy statements regarding the following:
Student rights and their corresponding responsibilities;
Definitions of the community partnerships which include parents, bus drivers, teachers, guidance counselors, principals, superintendent and the Board of Education;
The student dress code, which delineates expectations for acceptable and unacceptable student grooming and appearance;
Expectations for student conduct, which outlines acceptable and unacceptable student behavior;
Procedures for reporting violations of the Code of Conduct related to harassment or discrimination;
The disciplinary process with an outline of disciplinary procedures and penalties;
The expectations of visitors to the schools; and
The expectations for public conduct on school property, both during regular school hours and at after-school activities and sporting events.
The intent of this Code of Conduct is to promote responsible behavior that creates an orderly and safe school environment. It is the belief of the Cobleskill-Richmondville Central School that everyone in our community must contribute to the achievement of this goal. The discipline code applies to the behavior of all students while they are on school grounds, in school buildings and/or participating in school-sponsored activities. C-RCS will operate on a progressive discipline philosophy designed to bring about behavior change. The history and disciplinary record of each student will be considered on a case-by-case basis. However, every effort will be made to respond in a firm, fair and consistent manner.
It is the policy of the Board of Education to maximize the community's return on
its investment in student school facilities. This means that our playing fields, tennis courts, gymnasiums, auditoriums, cafeterias and meeting rooms are available for use by nonschool groups for other than commercial and political activities. Applications for use of school facilities are available on the district website and in each school office and should be submitted in time for the building principal's recommendation and Board of Education's review prior to the regular meetings. The application will require evidence of liability insurance for formal groups and of the supervision to be provided during the activity. Fees may be charged to help defray associated expenses incurred when the buildings are not normally staffed.
The C-RCS Board of Education has adopted a comprehensive wellness policy that provides a coordinated approach to student and staff wellness. The policy is based on the belief that students who begin each day as healthy individuals can learn more, learn better and are more likely to complete formal education. Staff members who are healthy can perform assigned duties more effectively and can model appropriate wellness behaviors for students. The policy provides guidance in the areas of nutrition; health education and family and consumer science; physical education and activity; counseling and psychological services; health services; family, school and community partnerships; and staff wellness. The District Health Advisory Committee has developed a detailed action plan to address each area, with more information to be shared with each phase of implementation. For more information on this policy, please contact Gayle Westervelt, District Health Coordinator, at 234-8368, ext.2030.
Our school district is considered a Drug-Free/Tobacco-Free School Zone. Anyone arrested and convicted of selling or using illegal drugs within 1,000 feet of school property would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law by the civil authorities. The penalties are harsher than those in the community at large. Signs have been posted at the entrances to our campuses and on district buildings as a warning that our district has no tolerance toward illegal drugs.
When Cobleskill-Richmondville Central Schools are forced to close or delay the
start of the school day or to dismiss students early because of inclement weather or other emergency conditions, that information is reported on the district's website, as well as on local television and radio stations.
When school must be closed during a normal school day for emergency situations, parents should check the district website or local television and radio stations for information. Parents should refrain from calling school offices.
During emergencies, parents may be contacted via an automated calling system. This system necessitates that the school is provided with accurate contact information. Please remember to tell your child's school any time your home, work or cell phone numbers change.
If you have specific instructions regarding how you should be contacted or where your child should be transported during an emergency, please put this in writing and send it to school with your child.
In general, when school is closed during the day, all afternoon and evening functions are also cancelled.
By Board of Education policy, no student shall bring a firearm on any portion of the premises of a school owned or controlled by this school district.
In accordance with the Gun Free Schools Act of 1994, any student who, after a hearing held pursuant to Education Law Section 3214, is found guilty of bringing a firearm onto the premises of any school owned or controlled by C-RCS will be subject to a penalty of at least a one-year suspension from school. However, in determining an appropriate penalty, the Superintendent of Schools may modify the suspension requirement on a case by case basis, considering among other things the totality of circumstances surrounding the offense and the student's previous record. These may include, but are not limited to, the age of the student; the student's grade in school; the student's prior disciplinary record; the Superintendent's belief that other forms of discipline may be more effective; and other extenuating circumstances.
Police officers on duty are the only people permitted on school property to have a weapon in their possession. New York State Penal Law Section 265.01 (d) addresses possession of firearms on school property.
Notification of Homeless Students Policy
Parents of homeless students and unaccompanied youths must be notified of the following rights:
The availability (and contact information) for the local liaison for homeless children and youth. The local liaison for C-RCS is William Wolfanger, Director of Pupil Personnel Services, 234-3165, wolfangerw@crcs.k12.ny.us.
Immediate enrollment and school participation, even if medical records and proof of residency are not available.
Availability of educational opportunities for homeless students/unaccompanied youth (preschool to age 21)
Enrollment and transportation rights
Written explanation of why a homeless child is placed other than in a school of origin (i.e., the school attended when permanently housed or last enrolled) or school requested by the parent, and right to appeal
Meaningful opportunities for parents to participate in the education of their children.
This notification must occur upon enrollment and at least twice annually.
Districts must also disseminate notice of these rights to schools; family, domestic abuse and runaway shelters, soup kitchens; and wherever services to homeless children and families are offered.
Drivers of school buses or other school vehicles are required to turn of the engine of the vehicle while waiting for passengers to load or off load. The law requires school districts to annually provide to school personnel a notice of the provisions of the law and regulations.
Districts may meet this notice requirement by providing employees with a copy of the law (Education Law section 3637) and the education commissioner's regulations. Districts may also notify employees that the materials have been posted on all employee bulletin boards and the district website.
From time to time, officials of the school are contacted to release certain information about their students. The Cobleskill-Richmondville Central School District has a policy for handling the release of student directory information, as required under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) and the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
The C-RCS policy states that no personally identifiable information about any students other than student "directory information" may be released to a particular person or institution without the written consent of the parent or eligible student. However, such information may be made available under certain conditions.
This policy further specifies that student "directory information" may be released unless the student or parent requests that it NOT be released. "Directory information" includes the pupil's name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, height and weight of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, diploma and awards received, most recent school attended and class schedule.
If a parent or student wishes that this student "directory information" not be released, please contact the appropriate building principal by September 15.
In addition, FERPA allows parents, legal guardians and 18-year-old students to arrange an appointment to review official records relating to that student, including: progress reports; grades; aptitude and achievement test scores; psychological tests; and teacher evaluations. Appropriate school personnel must be present at the time of record inspection to prevent any misinterpretation of the records. If you would like to review your child's records, please contact the building principal to schedule an appointment.
A copy of the full district policy on the release of student directory information is available in each school office.
Pursuant to the federal education legislation also known as the No Child Left Behind Act, C-RCS must disclose to military recruiters, upon request, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of high school students. The district must also notify parents of their right and the right of the child to request that the district not release such information without prior written parental consent. Parents (or students if they are age 18 or older) wishing to exercise their option to withhold their consent to the release of the above information to military recruiters are asked to sign and return a form available from the high school office.
In accordance with the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, parents/ guardians have the right to request information about the professional qualifications of their child's classroom teachers.
Specifically, parents have the right to request the following information concerning their child's teachers:
Whether the teacher has met New York State qualifications and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas he/she teaches;
Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status under which state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived;
The teacher's college major; whether the teacher has any advanced degrees; and if so, the subject of those degrees; and
If the child receives services from any instructional assistants or similar paraprofessionals, the qualifications of those individuals.
Requests to receive any of the above information may be directed to the child's building principal.
Notification of Parental Involvement Policies
Parents of Title I students ONLY will receive a copy of school and district parental involvement policies annually.
The C-RCS Board of Education recognizes that student surveys are a valuable tool in determining student needs for educational services. Parents have the right to inspect all instructional materials that will be used for a survey, analysis or evaluation as part of a U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) funded program. In addition, no minor student may, without parent consent, take part in a survey, analysis or evaluation funded in whole or in part by the USDOE that reveals information concerning certain types of personal behavior or political beliefs.

Notification for Unsafe School Transfer Choice
A student attending a persistently dangerous public elementary school or secondary school, as determined by the State in consultation with a representative sample of local educational agencies, or who becomes a victim of a violent criminal offense, as determined by State law, while in or on the grounds of a public elementary school or secondary school.
When a student becomes the victim of a violent criminal offense while in or on the grounds of the public school he or she attends, the school district must notify the student's parents within 24 hours (of the district's determination that the student has been a victim) of their right to transfer their child to a safe public school within the district and of the procedures to do so. However, school districts are not obligated to notify parents if there are no other safe public schools within the district at the same grade level.
Parents of students attending a school identified as "persistently dangerous" must be notified of the same right to transfer their child to a safe public school within the district and of the procedures to do so. However, school districts are not obligated to notify parents if there are no other safe public schools within the district at the same grade level.

Q: Jena showing wrong namespace for ontology classes I have a local ontology with several classes, such as User:
<rdf:RDF
     xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#"
     xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#"
     xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/"
     xmlns:geo="http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#"
     xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
     xmlns:domain="http://www.somedomain.com/data/#">

    <rdfs:Class rdf:ID="User">
        <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Agent" />
        <rdfs:comment>
            The class of users.
        </rdfs:comment>
    </rdfs:Class>

</rdf:RDF>

If I try to print all the classes like this:
/* Lists all classes */
ExtendedIterator<OntClass> classIterator = model.listClasses();
while (classIterator.hasNext()) {
    OntClass ontClass = classIterator.next();
    System.out.println(ontClass.toString());
}

I get them with a local path:
file:///home/myusername/#User

Instead of
http://www.somedomain.com/data/#User

This is very annoying because my namespace in Jena is therefore file:///home/myusername/# and I do not believe this is correct. What am I doing wrong?

A: <rdfs:Class rdf:ID="User">

means resolve "User" against the base URI, which is file:///home/myusername/.  This is correct.
Either set the base URI to what you require in the model.read operation or you can give the URI: an XML entity useful: define the entity and in rdf:ID=".." and xmlns:domain=".."

EU summit to focus on economic slump, stimulus measure « 1UA1 – Energy. Business. Ukraine.
The 27 countries are due to hammer out a common position on the issues ahead of a Group of 20 summit on April 2 in London,where major economies are expected to focus on boosting the global economy and steering the world out of recession.
The EU,criticized by the U.S. for its reluctance in giving more support to economies within the alliance and measures to curb growing unemployment,may reach an agreement on increasing the earlier announced 25-billion euro ($33.6 billion) stimulus package for EU member states that do not use the euro and that have been badly-hit by the global downturn.
European states have cautioned on the dangers of focusing too much on rescue plans,and have instead opted for reform of financial markets and lending organizations.
European leaders will also discuss allocating 3.5 billion euros ($4.7 billion) on energy projects and decide on the future of the Nabucco gas pipeline,an alternative to supplies from Russia where disputes with neighboring transit nations have led to brief cutoffs in supplies. Germany,Italy and France have raised concerns on the feasibility of the project in the current climate.
The summit agenda also includes the EU's ties with ex-Soviet states under the Eastern Partnership project and the Lisbon Treaty,a replacement for the EU Constitution that has been ratified by 23 of the 27 member states.

Site reorg, #1 on US, Food blogging in general.
Got up this morning and wasn't happy with the site. Not that anything was wrong, but it seemed to lack pizzaz. Now part of that is deliberate. I dislike cluttered, unreadable sites whose functional text area is the size of a postage stamp. I want my articles to be central to the experience of reading this blog. Still, there is more to me than just the classic IT salaryman, and some of that diversity needs to be pointed out. Seeing a sizable exotic tag ("Chamorro", for example) might help.
Further, I'm updating the "Shopping" page with items I've found useful in my exchange diet. That means "Shopping" is no longer just a list of grains. To a surprising extent, grains and omega 3 balance are at odds with one another. Abuse of grains and grain-derived oils is central to the whole omega 6 imbalance in the typical Western diet. Yes, that means you should avoid canola and cottonseed oils in your cans of fish.
I've been #1 on US the past couple weeks. An explanation is that almost all the other bloggers had ratings based on Antico Pizza Napolitano, and as it falls off the "hot" list on US, my relative ranking improves. That's not the only issue but it's the most obvious of them. Frankly, I've always liked that the top 4 or 5 was a pot constantly stirred. As a site catches some good reviews, it gets hot and rises. A site will fall as other things (school, life, work, marriage) get in the way.
Oh yes, and clueless me finally realized that Jon Watson of the AJC was the blogger Live To Feast, whom I have met. duh. OU, as a colleague pointed out, is the Kosher symbol. duh.
One note in general are the smaller number of comments per article posted. This seems true across all the Atlanta food blogs. It would be scary if blogging becomes a write only profession, and loses its interaction. Some of my best readers have been bloggers themselves: are they just growing apart? Wearing out? Interests diverging? Food blogging hasn't stopped by any measure, it seems to be accelerating, if anything. But as the readers become writers, and 50-something Atlanta blogs become something closer to 150, perhaps weariness sets in.

Greek Life gains new office in department split
Olivia Adkins
At the start of this semester, the Office of Student Life was split into three separate departments: the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, the Office of Student Engagement and the Activities Programming Board.
According to Kim Vance, the director of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life (and former director of Student Life), Student Life was split into departments to help with the growth of students in registered student organizations and the growth of students in fraternities and sororities. Those seeking help will now have a staff member with a singular focus as opposed to one who is working with students in several areas said Vance.
The need for expansion
"So when this whole area was called Student Life, fraternity and sorority life was half of my job and registered student organizations was the other half, but the reality of it was that both of those halves didn't get what they needed because fraternity and sorority life has grown so much," said Vance.
Vance added that neither Greek Life nor registered student organizations were being served very well and nine times out of 10, the default went to Greek students because there are so many policies, rules and regulations that go with those groups.
These groups have to make sure they adhere to campus specific policies as well as national policies for groups that are chartered from nationwide fraternities or sororities. Pi Kappa Alpha, NKU's keystone IFC chapter that was founded in 1972, and Delta Zeta, NKU's keystone panhellenic chapter that was founded in 1972 also, are examples of groups that adhere to national policies.
Student Life was being put in a position of being reactionary rather than proactive, according to Vance.
Vance and her co-workers help the fraternities and sororities plan various projects, implement policies, identify areas for growth, conduct leadership training, and help to make sure that its members are adhering campus specific policies, as well as national policies.
Trey Hope, National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) president, said prior to the departments being separated, it could be more tedious to get things accomplished because there was no one he could communicate with easily. Hope was trying to get Delta Sigma Theta Sorority active again and needed Vance's help.
"I would have to schedule a meeting or catch her randomly to talk about reviving their chapter, which was a lot of steps at times," Hope said.
As of the fall 2013 semester, there were 1,059 students in 15 fraternities or sororities. During that semester, 399 of these students were reported as new members, with the largest amount of 250 being in sororities.
In 2010, there were 13 Greek organizations with a total of 685 students. In 2008, there were 16 groups with 598 members.
Additions to the department
Adam Dralle started in August and has become the coordinator of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life.
"I work mainly with the fraternities here on campus," Dralle said. "My position is a brand new position with the split."
Previously, there was a lot of pressure on Vance to delegate her time, and with the new additions Dralle said students have a lot more options where to go with questions.
Dralle said the department is still learning how to be its own office and provide a better experience for the students with the improved resources.
Student Life's budget last year was $19,000 and the budget for the new department has increased to $30,000 as of September 1st of last year.
Students' thoughts
"Before, we just had Kim and because of the size of our organizations and the amount of things that the girls need, Kim was a lot of times busy doing things with the women," Matt Kriege, the president of the Interfraternity Council (IFC) said.
If Kriege has a question or needs help with a project or problem, he can now ask Dralle instead of scheduling a time to meet with Vance.
"I think it's a really good thing that we have the split because we are a very large organization, and it was kind of hard for us to get as much stuff done because we had to go through Student Life to get everything approved," Michelle Wehrly, the panhellenic president said.
Wehrly said the addition of Dralle is especially helpful because the department was in need of an extra set of hands.
"The split is going to be a very positive thing to kind of broaden Greek Life a little bit," Gabriela Santiago, the president of Alpha Psi Lambda, NKU's first Latino fraternity founded last semester said.
Since NKU is mainly a commuter school, Santiago feels that the growth of Greek Life could help get more people involved in campus activities.


What to eat when traveling in Iceland.
When we think Iceland, we think about Vikings, volcanic activities, glaciers, among other things. However, one thing that stands out is that not many people know what kind of foods people eat in Iceland. Yet, for an avid traveler, you can never say you have truly experienced a place if you haven't had the chance to sample the local cuisine.
So, here is a list of five must-have food items you should try, when you get a chance to visit this fascinating country.
If you're looking for a particular food that has been a part of Iceland's cuisine for a very long time, the Skyr or Iceland yogurt fits the bill. Skyr tastes a lot like Greek yogurt but is milder in flavor while the texture resembles that of soft cheese.
The locals like to eat it with berries and fruits, but it is also an important ingredient for things like ice-cream, smoothies, and cakes, among other recipes.
Any meat lover will fall in love with the rich flavor of the Icelandic lamb. The Lambs were brought into Iceland in the 9th century by the Settlers who let them graze freely in the hills. A tradition that continues to date.
The sheep are purebred and are not given any artificial substances including growth hormones or manufactured feeds. The sheep get to roam about freely and have wide access to natural food like sedge, grass, berries, and moss Campion among others. These natural foods add a delightful taste to the meat, and the most exquisite culinary chefs in Iceland always include lamb as one of their main ingredients. Roasted lamb cooked for hours over low heat, using the freshest herbs is very popular.
The lamb is also a major ingredient in the popular soup Kjötsúpa. The healthy, body warming soup is especially great for the winter days and is made using lamb and a variety of vegetables.
Spoiler alert! This particular dish may not go down very well with everyone, but, it is a traditional dish that the locals love. Hákarl is a fermented shark, which has a very strong fishy flavor and ammonia smell. The fermentation process takes about 5 months and requires that the shark is hung outside to dry.
Hákarl is indeed an acquired taste, and even the locals will warn visitors to go easy on the first bite. The locals chase it down with a spirit or schnapps, probably to temper the strong aroma and flavor.
The Icelandic hot dogs have a reputation that transverse its borders. The hot dogs are so good that eating one will not satisfy you.
Iceland has up to 340 species of fish including Greenland shark, haddock, brown trout, and arctic char among others. If you've got a more adventurous palate try the Harðfiskur, a dried fish usually made from haddock, wolf fish or cod, which the locals snack on. All they do is add a little butter to it, and they have their favorite movie time snack.
The Cuisine in Iceland is as vast as its culture and as rich as its history. One thing for sure, to truly experience Iceland, go out of your comfort zone and taste some of the more traditional cuisines, only then can you truly say you have experienced Iceland.

In 2016, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services conducted a national drug use survey, and the results were staggering: 91.8 million American adults aged 12 and up (37.8%) reported prescription opioid use, and 6.2 million of those users reported misusing them. Every 14 minutes, someone in the U.S. dies from an unintentional drug overdose or accidental poisoning.
Why are these numbers so high? The survey found that 63.4% of misusers reported relief from physical pain as the purpose behind their opioid misuse, able to do so due to excessive prescriptions. However, out of adults who reported misusing opioids, 60 percent admitted to not even having a prescription. Of those misusers without a prescription, 41% accessed their opioids from friends or family with excessive prescriptions.
The opioid epidemic is more of an issue than the public realizes. According to Get Smart About Drugs, a DEA resource, more people overdose from pain medicines every year than from heroin and cocaine combined. Unfortunately, prescription drugs are often seen by individuals as the "safe" alternative to drugs such as heroin and cocaine, since a doctor was the original prescriber.
U.S. News & World Report noted in 2013 that prescription drug abuse among teens is at a new high, with 24% of high school students (over 5 million kids) partaking in the activity. That is a 33% increase from 2008. One reason behind this upswing in child prescription abuse is the higher accessibility to friends' medications such as Ritalin or Adderall, which is typically prescribed for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. One-third of the parents surveyed believed that these drugs are safer than those in line with heroin and cocaine, and that their use ultimately benefits school performance. The report additionally found that a parents' medical cabinet is where 56% of the abused prescription medication was stored, with half of the parents surveyed admitted to there being no barriers to that access.
"From my perspective, one way to look at this is that we've got a real public health crisis," said Steve Pasierb, president and CEO at The Partnership at Drugfree.org, in conjunction with the MetLife Foundation. "And it's not getting better. In fact, it's getting deeper and more complex. The key here is that kids and often their parents are buying into the myth and misunderstanding that prescription drug abuse is a safer way to get high, a safer alternative to street drugs, and that they can control it."
Pasierb continued, "And it's very important to note that, on this, kids and parents are in the same place. Kids say that they don't think that their parents are going to be upset if they know about this, and parents are essentially saying the same thing. Now, if cocaine or heroin use was going up the way prescription drug use is parents would certainly be freaking out. And they should be now, because prescription drug abuse is no better."
These survey findings reveal that patients are being prescribed too many opioids for too long of a period of time. Pharmacists now have the ability to dispense partial prescriptions, which is a quick and easy way to reduce the amount of opioids in circulation. This ability coupled with the strategy of reducing the amount and length of an opioid prescription, has the potential to reduce and prevent misuse by individuals without prescriptions.

India debuts cheapest car in the world
PUBLISHED: January 11, 2008 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 1:56 a.m.
NEW DELHI – For millions of people in the developing world, Tata Motors' new $2,500 four-door subcompact – the world's cheapest car – may yield a transportation revolution with as great an impact as Henry Ford's Model T, which rolled off an assembly line a century ago.
The potential impact of Tata's Nano has given environmentalists nightmares, with visions of the tiny cars clogging India's already-choked roads and collectively spewing millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the air.
Industry analysts, however, say the car may soon deliver to India and the rest of the developing world unprecedented mobility.
"It is a potentially gigantic development if it delivers what has been promised," said John Casesa, managing partner for the Casesa Shapiro Group, a New York-based auto industry financial advisory firm.
"I think there is immense unmet demand for a vehicle of this type, because it effectively eliminates the great leap currently required to go from a two-wheel to a four-wheel vehicle. They are creating something that has never existed before, the utility of a car with the affordability of a motorcycle."
The basic model, expected to roll off assembly lines later this year, will sell for 100,000 rupees, or about $2,500, but analysts estimate customers could pay 20percent to 30percent more to cover taxes, delivery and other charges.
Company Chairman Ratan Tata, who introduced the car at India's main auto show, has long promised a $2,500 "People's Car" for India – a country of about 1.1billion where only seven of every 1,000 people own a car. That vow has been much-derided by the global industry that said it would be impossible without sacrificing safety and quality.
"A promise is a promise," Tata told the crowd after driving onstage in a white, luxury edition Nano, his head nearly touching the roof. Four company executives emerged from another. Tata says the Nano can seat five.
The company will not say how the price was kept so low on the basic version and won't say how much the luxury Nano will cost until it hits showrooms toward the end of this year. The company also refused to let reporters sit in the car, let alone drive it.
But the basic version is austere: There's no radio, passenger-side mirror, central locking or power steering and only one windshield wiper. Air conditioning that would spare motorists the brutal Indian summer is available only in deluxe models.
The little car, with its snub nose, sloping roof, and slightly bulbous rear, makes it look like another Indian icon – the mango.
The Nano's appeal, though, is not its pedigree but its price – targeting people moving up from the lower ends of India's transportation spectrum, where two-wheeled scooters selling for as little as $900 are often crammed with entire families.
The Nano's closest competitor is the Maruti 800, a four-door selling for nearly twice as much.
In terms of performance, it doesn't offer much more than the Model T. The Nano has a two-cylinder 0.6-liter gasoline engine with 33horsepower, giving it a top speed of about 60mph, according to Tata. It gets 50miles per gallon.
For now, the car will be sold only in India, but Tata said it hopes to export it to developing nations across Asia, Latin America and Africa in two or three years.

'Soul Kids': Stax Music Academy documentary sets Memphis debut
John Beifuss
"Soul Kids," a documentary by French filmmakers about the student musicians of the Stax Music Academy, will make its Memphis debut at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 26, at the Crosstown Theater in Crosstown Concourse.
The film's director, Paris-based Hugo Sobelman, will be in attendance and will take part in a question-and-answer session after the screening. A performance by 926, the Stax Music Academy alumni band, will follow the Q&A. ("926" is a reference to the famous Stax address, 926 E. McLemore.)
Shot in Memphis by Sobelman and a two-person French crew in 2017 and 2018 and then delayed by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the 75-minute "Soul Kids" takes viewers inside the classrooms at the nonprofit Stax Music Academy, an after-school music program connected with the adjacent Stax Museum of American Soul Music. Since 2000, the academy has offered music instruction from professional singers and players along with what the SMA website calls lessons in "leadership, teamwork, and discipline."
MEMPHIS MUSIC:Memphis 'Soul Kids' go to Paris: French documentary celebrates Stax Music Academy
MEMPHIS MUSIC HISTORY:Exhibit celebrating Stax legend Isaac Hayes set for Museum of Science & History
The film captures the kids clowning and creating, and also follows them through the parks and streets of Stax's home base, the economically disadvantaged "Soulsville" neighborhood.
Testimony to the continuing reverence with which Memphis music is regarded in Europe and much of the rest of the world, "Soul Kids" had its Paris premiere on Nov. 24. Several Stax Academy "kids" and other Stax representatives made the trip for that event, which was followed by other screenings in France.
"Soul Kids" also will screen at 7 p.m. March 24 during the 2022 Oxford Film Festival in Oxford, Mississippi. Sobelman will participate in a Q&A at that event. The Oxford festival runs March 23-27 with in-person screenings at the Malco Oxford Commons Cinema. "Virtual cinema" screenings for some films will be available March 27-April 3.
Tickets to the Crosstown screening are $15 each and are available in advance at crosstownarts.org. In accordance with Crosstown Arts' COVID-19 policies, proof of vaccination or of a negative COVID-19 test is required to attend. The event is presented by Crosstown Arts, Indie Memphis and Stax.
Tickets to the Oxford screening are $12 each. For tickets, festival passes and more information on the event, visit ox-film.com.


PS-Products.com specializes in custom screen printing promotional items such as ceramic mugs, glasses, shot glasses, shirts, keychains, plastic bottles, steel travel mugs, and an assortment of promotional pens. PS-Products.com strives to deliver the highest quality as well as exceptional service at the lowest prices in the market. While we are committed to meet your every need and expectation, we wish to inform you of certain limitations that are inherent within the screen printing industry.
The second method is "Decal Printing*". This process is sometimes considered more of an art form than a science, as the resulting imprint color is unknown until after the "curing" process. Although the decal printing process is intense and time consuming, it is the only existing process that enables us to recreate complex, vibrant and multi-colored permanent images through the use of CMYK colors. Any job that requires more than a one color imprint will be produced using the decal method.
*Decal printing also enables us to cover a larger area of the product. However, the application process is "manual" (as opposed to "machine"), so there may be some variations with regards to placement of the decals onto the wares. These slight irregularities are deemed acceptable within the screen printing industry, and are not to be considered defective or damaged.
We reserve the right to place our logo on the bottom of our products.
We currently offer clear laser engraving. Color laser engraving is not available. One Side Engraving only. For Second Side Engraving, please call our Sales Office as additional charges may apply.
Please send your imprint instructions to us immediately. If you are emailing it to the art department, please put the name and order number on the subject line. We will not accept any responsibility for delays in processing an order if we do not receive the artwork in a timely manner.
We require "camera ready" high resolution artwork so as to meet production timelines. Although we clean up and retouch any artwork/logo received in order to make it print worthy, if you do not provide clean, high-resolution, camera-ready artwork, we will not be responsible for the resulting poor imprint quality. Note that the added work involved in cleaning up any artwork will also add to production time, which may eventually delay the order. We will not accept responsibility for the delayed production on an order when the imprint provided is of poor quality.
PS-Products.com reserves the right to refuse printing of any artwork that may be deemed inappropriate, offensive, copyrighted, or trademarked.
*Four-color process and continuous-tone images with 300 dpi at actual size.
*Unfortunately, we are unable to accept greek letters as artwork files, as these are licensed artwork.
We will not be responsible for any missing information on your order form nor for any missing imprint instructions.
In order to correctly follow your imprint instructions, we require that all information relating to your 'artwork' or 'logo' be sent TOGETHER as 'one' upload or in 'one' email.
Therefore, if you send your logo in one email, and the text to be 'included' with the logo in another email, we will NOT be responsible for putting the two together. Do not send us multiple logos or artwork and assume we will know which one to use. We will not be responsible in the event we pick the 'incorrect' logo.
Imprint colors must be carefully chosen. We recommend that you choose light color inks to be printed onto dark color items, as this provides more contrast than a dark colored imprint on a dark colored item or a light colored imprint on a light colored item.
However, if you specify that you want the imprint to be the same size as the submitted artwork/logo, (providing you request this imprint size on the order form as well as on the artwork canvas itself) we will comply, providing it does not exceed the maximum imprint size of the item ordered.
However, if you request that we print your logo 3.5" x 3.5", we will be unable to comply with your request, as that exceeds our maximum imprint size on that particular mug. Another example is if you request a 2" x 2" logo, and your imprint is rectangular in size, we will not be able to print the logo as you request.
In the event an order is printed with an incorrectly submitted artwork/logo, PS-Products.com will not be held responsible for your oversight, and payment in full will be valid for the completed work. You may request a redo; however it will be at your expense.
Any orders with less than 100 pieces will be printed using 'one' size of imprint. Therefore whether you order a small, large or xlarge shirt, the size of imprint will be exactly the same size on all the shirts. Imprint sizes are posted on the website directly below the displayed shirts. The print method for T-shirts is determined on the artwork provided and the quantity ordered. The quantity of an Apperal order will determine the print method. PS-Products.com cannot guarantee the same print method if the quantity of the order is increased or decreased.
For maximum visibility, we strongly recommend that you request 2 lines of imprint or less. When ordering assorted pens, please be aware that we will send you only the colors that are on hand at that time.
In all circumstances, PS-Products.com ' maximum liability is limited to the purchase price of the products sold. PS-Products.com will not, under any circumstance, be held liable for any claim or action that exceeds this liability limit. PS-Products.com will not be liable for any third party claims for damages against the customer, nor for malfunction of product, cause of delays, interruption of service, or loss of business.
These terms will govern any orders placed with PS-Products.com and its affiliates; therefore we encourage you to read these terms prior to placing your order. By submitting an order to PS-Products.com , you (also referred to below as the customer) are hereby agreeing to all the terms and conditions as set forth below. This agreement is in lieu of a written consent, and will be binding by the both the customer and/or their representative(s).
Some jobs require a perfect color-match so as to ensure that the color(s) will be identical. In this event, we recommend that you opt for a "pre-production sample". This "in hands" sample will only go to final production upon receipt of your written approval. The charge for a pre-production sample will still remain even if the order does not proceed to final production. Call for pricing.
Ceramic & Glass Colors are stocked in a wide variety of colors. Exact PMS color matches are not available. We try to match your color selections as closely as possible using PMS numbers as a reference only. Due to the nature of ceramic and glass colors, an exact match cannot be guaranteed. Colors may vary due to firing conditions or the type of substrate. For example there are many types of glazes used on ceramic products. The type of glaze used may or may not have an effect on the final color of the product.
We also carry a vast array of imprint colors for the travel mugs, plastic water bottles and pens. Again, exact color matches cannot be guaranteed.
Note that the imprint color may change due to the product color. Printing white onto a red mug may cause the imprint to look whitish-pink, as red is the dominating color.
Similarly, printing the color black onto a navy or dark green mug may result in a hard-to-see imprint, as dark on dark does not stand out. In order to promote the best visibility of your custom logo/text, we strongly recommend that you print light colors onto a dark surface and dark colors onto a light surface.
If we fail to meet a promised delivery date on a 24hr rush order with expedited shipping, but you will still accept the order, then credit will be promptly issued for the difference between the 24hr (per piece) price and the 3-day rush (per piece) price.
If we fail to meet a promised delivery date on a 3-day rush order with expedited shipping, but you will still accept the order, then credit will be promptly issued for the difference between the 3-day rush (per piece) price and the normal production (per piece) price.
Normal production orders with estimated delivery dates are not guaranteed.
*Please note that once you submit your order, any changes, delayed artwork submissions, or delayed proof approvals will void our guarantee policy.
We make every attempt to deliver the exact quantity ordered. However, due to manufacturing issues, shipments may have an over-run or an under-run.
"Direct Print" orders: 288 pieces or less are subject to a 10% over-run or under-run. Over 288 pieces are subject to a 5% over-run or under-run.
All "Decal" orders are subject to a 10% over-run or under-run.
Note that the products we carry are intended purely as promotional items; therefore products that may have minor visual imperfections should not be considered as defective or flawed items. In the event a 'product' defect is identified, we will replace the order in its entirety only upon endorsement of the defect by the manufacturer of the product. Likewise, if an imprint defect is identified, we will replace that portion of the order only upon confirmation of the defect.
Our website contains lots of pages and they are being updated constantly by our web team. We try to be as accurate as possible when publishing information. Glitches may happen from time to time and sometimes we cannot honor pricing discrepancies such as unusually low, zero, or penny pricing.
PS-Products.com reserves the right to alter or refuse special offers at any time, without notice to customer.
PS-Products.com may offer special pricing and/or free shipping from time to time, however these discounts will not be honored on orders that have already been placed. No exceptions made.
All of the products shipped out have stickers or tags with our company logo, website, and information on them. If you wish to have your order shipped without these stickers or tags, please inform a sales rep at the time of placing your order, or select the blind-shipping option on the shopping cart of your order. PS-Products.com is not responsible for the placing of stickers on products shipped out without prior request from customer to remove them.


The dream job with such a requirement is still there. It's just that the daily dollop of Rum isn't… however, as part of their job the sailors of the Royal British Navy were given a tot of Rum every single day right up until 1970.
At around noon each day "Up Spirits" was the Boatswain's call, signaling to the ship's company that it was time for the daily dose of morale building and spirit boosting. A teambuilding.
★ Monday was for Our ships at sea.
★ Tuesday was for Our men, but changed to Our sailors in 2013, to also include the many women now serving in the navy.
★ Thursday was for A bloody war or a sickly reason. Because if you're after someone's position, you're much more likely to get promoted if something like a war injury or illness happens to them.
★ Friday's toast is for A willing foe and sea room. Because not many navies were ready to take on the British.
★ Saturday is To sweethearts and wives! "May they never meet," echoed from the crew. This one, too, was changed to To our families! in June 2013.
★ And Sunday is to Absent Friends.
The British Royal Navy served its Final daily Rum ration on July 31, 1970, now known as Black Tot Day.
But the old navy custom will be forever in our hearts. And Rum in our glasses.

..........and the ball goes sailing over the boundry for 6.
Looks like i turned up a little late and the pikster is being targeted. next ball same shot same result..no hang on, winkie has somehow jumped like air jordan and plucked the ball one handed from just inside the fence! result!
A dramatic entrance to the game and a walk over to scorer andy f to find out what i've missed. Apparently the oppo, in their first ever competetive game, went off like a gun, then through some miserly bowling from baggy and stumpy have been brought back and now their dangerman has been caught have to re-group again. the oppo went from 39-1 off 5 to 47-3 off 10 and with sharif, kim and funny jam all bowling well till johns last over are pegged at 112 for 8 off their 18 overs.
During the turn around shakey relives his majestic innings of sunday and we quitely explain to smitts where the covers are and the mystery of the off drive(im sure he was born left handed and is still confused) right, to the chase!
Jam and manish kick us off and with a slow, sticky wicket found it hard to play with any fluency, manish falling first to a low one bowled for 2. Simon up next and the painfully slow progress is maintained with both players struggling to time the ball and hitting the ball to a well placed field. Simon next to go bowled by a low slow one(natch) trying to hustle the scoring along for 13. 51-2 off11.
The light drizzle falling did not help at all but with kim coming to the crease the scoreboard started moving along with john hitting big to retire on 45, bringing jamie p to the wicket. 84-3 off 14 now, i will not comment on how it happened, suffice to say kim was run-out by 21 yards attempting a quick single and i'll leave it at that. Kim scoring a quickfire 18.
Shag strode like a collossus to the wicket and then trudged back bowled by a ..........for 0. 107-5 off 17. So with 6 needed off the last over the tension building the night darkening winkie faced and promptly smacked the ball through mid-wicket for 4 and he and jamie nurdled the 2 singles to win the game with 2 balls to spare. good game, good oppo, good result.

Bairaag () is a 1976 Hindi-language film. Produced by the duo Mushir-Riaz, it is directed by Asit Sen. The film stars Dilip Kumar, who received a Filmfare nomination for Best Actor for playing a triple role. Bairaag also stars Saira Banu, Leena Chandavarkar, Ruma Guha Thakurta, Prem Chopra, Helen, Sujit Kumar, Madan Puri, Paintal, Kader Khan, Asit Sen and Sachin. Its music is by the duo Kalyanji Anandji, who received a Filmfare nomination for Best Music. The film received a Filmfare Award for Best Sound for P. Harikishan. The film failed to perform at the box office. It was Dilip Kumar's third consecutive failure at box-office, the first and only time in his career since Milan (1946). After this film, he went on an indefinite hiatus and returned after 5 years in Kranti (1981).

Plot
Kailash (Dilip Kumar) loses his eyesight after a car accident. His wife gives birth to twin boys, one of them blind. Before his wife gains consciousness, he asks the doctor to get rid of the blind baby, because he doesn't want his son to live a life where he can't see at all. The doctor's wife leaves the blind baby in a Hindu temple, where he is discovered by the temple priest who raises the boy, now called Bholenath (Dilip Kumar). Kailash feels guilty about what he did to the blind baby and confesses it to his wife several years later. She becomes so distraught that she dies.

Kailash raises his other son Sanjay (Dilip Kumar), who turns into a spoiled rich boy. Although Sanjay is engaged to Sonia (Leena Chandavarkar), he continues to have an affair with Lucy (Helen), who has a rich dangerous boyfriend Grasco (Madan Puri). Sonia's greedy brother Kunwar Pratap Singh (Prem Chopra) agrees to marry a country girl Tara (Saira Banu) but wants a Rs. 3,00,000 dowry. She doesn't want to marry him, because she is in love with Bholenath, even though he is poor and blind.

Bholenath thinks that his status is beneath hers and that she deserves a rich suitor. He steals the money from the Hindu temple to give to Kunwal for her dowry. His pet snake tries to stop him from giving the money by biting him. He regains his sight and vows to the temple priest (Nazir Hussain) and Tara to bring the money back from Kunwal. Once he reaches the city, people mistake him for Sanjay, who in turn, is hiding out with Lucy after she leaves Grasco along with Rs. 15,00,000. She is found dead with the money missing. Sanjay is the suspect. The film is resolved with the real culprit getting caught, the two brothers reunited with their father, and then marrying their sweethearts.

Reception and Release
Bairaag, released in 1976, was the last film of Dilip Kumar as hero, after which he took a five-year break from films and returned to play character roles thereafter. Although it failed at the box office, the critics appreciated it. Dilip Kumar was acclaimed for his triple role and received a Filmfare nomination for Best Actor.
