Eastside is attempting to go from worst to first. Last year, the Rams only won one game. Two years ago in Jeff Parker's final season as head coach, the Rams had just one win, even though they made it to the state playoffs since they are only in a three-team district. Although the FHSAA has a new playoff format, for Classes 5A-8A, the district champion still earns a postseason bid. Eastside coach Cedderick Daniels has done a good job turning things around in just his second season. As I noted, only two wins combined the last two years, and after an 0-3 start this season, the Rams (3-3) have won three in a row, including a 14-12 win at North Marion two weeks ago. That was a Class 5A-District 6 game. So, that means that if Eastside beats Belleview tomorrow night, they are going to the state playoffs. If they lose, based on the new points system and no runner-up spots assured a berth, it's unlikely they can get in unless they win out. Belleview made the playoffs last year for the first time in 10 years, but that was under coach John Brantley, who is no longer there. Mike Kelly, in his first year, has the Rattlers at 4-2. They were kind of the opposite of Eastside in that they started the season 3-0 but have gone 1-2 since. Those two losses were to Dunnellon, which is ranked 5th in the state in Class 4A, and Buchholz, which is a 7A school. Last week in a 48-27 win against Williston, the Rattlers finished with 611 yards of total offense. That was the most in a game for Belleview in 20 years (according to Richard Burton of the Ocala Star-Banner). A total of 436 of those yards were on the ground. This game will actually be played on Eastside's campus since Buchholz will be at Citizen's Field tomorrow night against Creekside (St. Johns) and Gainesville hosts Vanguard (Ocala) on Friday. The big question for Eastside, in my opinion, will be whether or not Anthony Richardson is able to play. He's a play-maker at the quarterback position but he's been injured and I'm not sure the Rams can win without him, although they did at North Marion, so we'll see. But nonetheless, big game tomorrow night at Eastside.
This became an even bigger game when Newberry won at Trenton last Friday. Jeff, this was a one-score game with 9:39 to play in the game. Newberry led 24-17, and the Panthers ended up winning the game, 51-17. Of Newberry's seven touchdowns, only one went for less than 30 yards and that was a 27-yard scoring run by Tresell Curtis, who finished with over 200 yards rushing and four TD's. I think Trenton will be OK in Class 4A. That was just their second loss of the season. I think they've got a chance to win out and make the playoffs. But for Newberry, they entered the game with a 2-3 record and the win propelled them into the top four in their region. Remember, for Classes 1A-4A, there are no more districts so you have to finish in the top four of your region to get into the state playoffs. But that win against Trenton gave them enough points to put them third in Class 3A-Region 1. Now the question will be, can they carry that momentum over and beat a Dixie County team that has to be considered one of the surprises in the area. I'd say Dixie County and unbeaten St. Francis Catholic have got to be the biggest stories or surprises so far in 2017. The Bears have a first-year coach in Eric Richeson and are currently 7-0 on the season. They have double-digit wins against Trenton and at Union County, but this may be their toughest test of the season, assuming the Panthers come ready to play, which I think they will. Dixie County has almost 2,000 yards rushing in just seven games. That's an average of 280 per game. Duke Dawson's cousin, Aaron Dawson, is averaging 11.8 yards per carry, but that's only good enough for second on the team. James Smith is averaging 12.4 yards per carry, so the Panthers will have to find a way to slow down that rushing attack. Dixie County, a 10-point favorite according to Joe Pinkos, has been pretty good defensively too, giving up an average of just nine points a game and they have 18 sacks on the year. That will definitely be a line of scrimmage game.
Vanguard (Ocala) at Gainesville will be a battle for first-place in the district and could possibly be for the district title.
It's very possible. Vanguard is unbeaten, and ranked 5th in the state in the Class 6A. They are 5-0 overall and 2-0 in 6A-District 5. GHS is 1-0 in the district, and Lake Weir (Ocala), who Gainesville hosts on Monday night, Oct. 30, is also 1-0 in the district. Vanguard still has Lake Weir at home and Forest (Ocala) on the road. Gainesville has to go to Leesburg next week, but I think the game at Citizen's Field on Friday night decides the district champion. The Knights have four shutouts in five games and they may be even better than last year's team which had N'Kosi Perry at quarterback. Perry is now at the University of Miami, but the Knights haven't missed a beat with Marquez Glover at quarterback. Glover has completed 67% of his passes for 952 yards with 15 TDs and only 2 INT. That's the kind of ratio Perry had last year. Plus, the Knights are averaging eight yards per carry, and I mentioned the defense. The only team to score on them so far was Buchholz. Vanguard has 29 sacks and 7 interceptions. The Knights are averaging 43 points per game and giving up less than seven. Last year in Ocala, Vanguard won this game, 56-7.
But I believe this is a better Gainesville football team this year. GHS missed out on the playoffs last year for the first time since 2008. They opened the season with a loss at Class 7A Columbia (Lake City) but have won four in a row, including a come-from-behind win against rival Buchholz last week in which they trailed 14-3 and rallied for a 31-21 win. They've got good balance in the backfield with Willie McKnight leading the way with five TDs and a 4.7 yards per carry average. Junior Luke Matthews continues to get better throwing the ball. He's got 10 TDs and only three interceptions. His go to guy, junior Jalen Kelsey, is averaging 122 yards receiving per game with 4 TDs, plus a tall receiver in Christian Miller-Cardwell, who at 6'4, 200, is a big target. It's a tough match-up for Gainesville, but they are playing this game at Citizen's Field, and GHS typically plays pretty well there.

ABL's Failed Inaugural Rocket Launch Marks Space Industry's Third Failure in Weeks
The company says the rocket was destroyed after all nine of its E2 engines shut down at the same time, in a setback that also caused damage to the launch pad.

In a concerning trend, ABL Space System's RS1 rocket became the third rocket to succumb to a launch failure in less than a month. The botched liftoff came just 24 hours after Virgin Orbit's LauncherOne rocket carrying a payload of nine satellites experienced an anomaly that preventing it from reaching orbit.

Astronomers Could Soon Get Warnings When SpaceX Satellites Threaten Their View
Three Astronauts May Be Stranded on the ISS After Disturbing Soyuz Coolant Leak
In a grim tweet shortly after its scheduled launch from Pacific Spaceport Complex—Alaska, ABL revealed its RS1 experienced an anomaly preventing it from launching properly. In follow-up tweets, the company said all nine of the rocket's E2 engines shut down at the same time. RS1 fell back down to Earth and exploded, leaving the rocket destroyed and the launch facility damaged. Luckily, according to ABL, nearby personnel weren't harmed. Two OmniTeq smallsats were loaded onto the rocket for its inaugural flight, also destroyed.
"This is not the outcome we were hoping for today, but one that we prepared for. We'll revert with additional information when available," ABL wrote." It's unclear when exactly the engine shut down or how high the RS1 made it before losing altitude. In response to a Gizmodo inquiry, ABL confirmed details disclosed in the company's tweets but nothing beyond that.
It's been a rough month for rocket launches. In December, days before Christmas, Arianespace's medium-lift Vega-C rocket experienced a catastrophic anomaly around two and a half minutes following its launch. Controllers were forced to initiate a self-destruct of the rocket, resulting in the loss of the two satellites on board.
Related story: Vega-C Rocket Forced to Self-Destruct With 2 Satellites On Board
Virgin Orbit's LauncherOne would experience a similar fate just weeks later. In that case, the rocket was able to successfully detach from the company's modified Cosmic Girl Boeing aircraft, but failed after experiencing an anomaly during the firing of its second stage engine. Had it been successful, the Virgin Orbit launch would have marked the first attempt to launch satellites in space from the United Kingdom.
The rapid string of rocket failures serves as a stark reminder of the high risk and even higher costs inherent to commercialized space flight. Private firms like ABL and Virgin Orbit envision a lucrative business in offering customers, particularly smaller satellites companies, easy, affordable, and frequent rides to low Earth orbit.
And indeed, there's clearly plenty of demand; a recent forecast from space-focused market intelligence firm Euroconsult estimates some 2,500 additional satellites could launch each year until 2031. Still, relatively young firms moving quickly to meet that demand are almost guaranteed to break an increasing number of eggs in search of a commercialized space omelet. In other words, it's probably a safe bet to assume that more failed launches and inferno-engulfed rockets are around the corner.

UK hard rock stalwarts TEN used the downtime during the worldwide pandemic to work on not one, but two new albums. The first album to be released, "Here Be Monsters", will land on February 18, 2022. Their new single and lyric video for the track "Hurricane" is out today. You can watch the lyric video for "Hurricane" HERE:
Listen to our both singles so far – "Fearless" and "Hurricane" and pre-order/save "Here Be Monsters" on CD/LP/Digital HERE: https://orcd.co/herebemonsters
Following the success of the recent string of albums, from "Albion" to "Illuminati", Hughes is joined once again by guitarists Dann Rosingana, Steve Grocott and John Halliwell along with bass player Steve McKenna, and keyboard maestro Darrel Treece-Birch. Drums on the album have been handled by Markus Kullman (Sinner, Glenn Hughes, Voodoo Circle). TEN continue to raise the musical bar higher for themselves, a goal they push on every release. Stunning guitar work, rich keyboards, excellent bass and drum interplay along with Hughes' rich vocals are the order of the day here. "Here Be Monsters" was produced by Gary Hughes and mixed and mastered by Dennis Ward. TEN's longstanding professional association with Dennis has been ongoing since he mixed their 2011 album, "Stormwarning" and has always guaranteed albums with stunning sound and production.
Fans should note that there are no ties between this and the next album, ie. "Here Be Monsters" is not a "Part One" or anything of this nature. The band has simply crafted two high quality releases and decided to put them out separately, in a fashion not too dissimilar to what happened to the amazing first two records which were recorded one after the other in a very short period of time.
British hard rockers TEN have an outstanding history of releases in their storied and revered catalog. Starting out as a sort of solo project built around singer and songwriter Gary Hughes, TEN found their audience playing a hard rock sound influenced by such giants as UFO, Thin Lizzy, Magnum, Giant, and Whitesnake in a time when playing this particular sound was considered ommericial suicide. The band's early records such as "The Name Of The Rose", "The Robe", "Spellbound", and "Babylon" established the band as mainstays in the melodic hard rock genre, which has continued throughout their now 26 year career over the course of 14 studio albums.

TEN – NEW Album "Illuminati" ….OUT NOW….
"Illuminati" is said to be an elite, secret organization of world leaders, business authorities, innovators, artists, and other influential members of the global society. A coalition that unites influencers of all political, religious, and geographical backgrounds to further the prosperity of the human species as a whole. The album "Illuminati" brings the band's atmospheres and sounds and weaves them into a reel of mysteries, esoteric tales, and elaborate spells, evoking embers that spark the imagination courtesy of the classic songwriting of vocalist Gary Hughes.
Following the success of the recent string of albums, from "Albion" to "Gothica", Hughes is joined once again by guitarists Dann Rosingana, Steve Grocott and John Halliwell along with bass player Steve McKenna, keyboard maestro Darrel Treece-Birch, and drummer Max Yates. On their fourth outing as a collective unit, the musicians in TEN have raised the bar even higher than they had previously. The album is full of stunning guitar work over a rich keyboard, bass, and drum tapestry with Hughes' rich vocals once again bringing the nuances of the intricate lyrics to life.

TEN – NEW LYRIC VIDEO RELEASED
Posted on June 24, 2017 by Lino "AmadeuS" R.
The British Melodic Hard Rock band TEN, released the second single from their forthcoming 13th studio album entitled "Gothica", which will be released on the 7th of July, 2017 via Frontiers Records. The brand new track entitled "La Luna Dra-Cu-La", the lyric video of which we present to you today, is a fast rocker, based on Bram Stoker's Dracula, which describes, according to band leader Gary Hughes, "the moment when guests approach Dracula's castle for the first time, with the full moon illuminating an otherwise obscure and disturbing scene. The Dracula Moon, as the Transylvanian people call it."
"Gothica" was produced by Gary Hughes and mixed/mastered by Dennis Ward, a longstanding professional association which has been ongoing since Dennis mixed TEN's 2011 album, "Stormwarning".
Additionally, the album features stunning original artwork by Stan W. Decker, while the atmospheric sleeve photography is once again provided by the remarkably talented Adrian Ashworth.

TEN Announces New Album "Gothica"!
Posted on May 2, 2017 by Lino "AmadeuS" R.
Melodic hard rock band TEN has announced they will release their new album "Gothica" on July 7, 2017 via Frontiers Music Srl. The highly anticipated new album promises to be one of their strongest collection of songs to date. It is full of all the trademark textures and flavors we have come to expect from TEN, arguably one of the best and most consistent melodic hard rock bands in the genre. "Gothica" renews TEN's longstanding association with the Frontiers label and proudly displays all the hallmarks of classic TEN albums and will surely continue to build upon the rich legacy that the great British rockers have forged over a career spanning 22 years and counting.
"Gothica" emerges as their darkest album to date. Embracing history, romance and erotic horror in equal measure as it does, the title proves to be a fitting name. As listeners, we are transported from the darker side of human nature to the nocturnal supernatural, a dramatic realm of nightmares and the forbidden. "Gothica" is cinematic in every sense of the word. A web of musically elaborate spells, evoking embers that spark the imagination courtesy of the classic song writing of vocalist Gary Hughes.
Of the album, Gary says, "I am extremely pleased with the collection of songs on "Gothica" as they feel like they belong together. The band are firing on all cylinders once again and it is a gift to the army of fans everywhere who have relentlessly supported us over the years. It is ironically fitting that our 13th studio album should be a little more sinister, at the same time retaining all the commercial traits usually associated with a Ten album."
Following their success on the recent albums "Albion" and "Isla De Muerta", Gary Hughes is joined once again by guitarists Dann Rosingana, Steve Grocott and John Halliwell along with bass player Steve McKenna, keyboard maestro Darrel Treece-Birch, and drummer Max Yates. On their third outing as a collective unit, the musicians in TEN have raised the bar even higher than they had previously. The album is full of stunning guitar work over a rich keyboard, bass, and drum tapestry with Hughes' vocals once again bringing the nuances of the intricate lyrics to life.
Additionally, the album features stunning original artwork by Stan W. Decker, depicting a beautiful enchantress reading incantations from a book whilst summoning shadowy characters from its pages. Stan has cleverly illustrated the piece in order to portray the characters emerging from the books pages as the actual characters from the songs on the album. The atmospheric sleeve photography is once again provided by the remarkably talented Adrian Ashworth.
Frontiers is proud to be working with the legendary TEN again and looks forward to sharing this stunning new album with the band's fans around the globe!

The latest in a series of papers published by the International Monetary Fund on economies in transition examines the experience of disinflation in Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltics, Russia, and other countries of the former Soviet Union between 1993 and 1997. The paper reviews the economic policies underlying the dramatic drop in inflation during those years as well as other variables that facilitated the disinflation and notes that the adjustment of fiscal fundamentals as the driving force behind the disinflation, while nominal anchoring arrangements played a less prominent role. This was contrary to developments in countries, for example, in Latin America, that had experienced high inflation for a long period of time.
The sharp output drop that accompanied some of the early disinflations led some commentators to voice concerns about the additional output costs that could be associated with fast disinflation (1992; Calvo and Coricelli, Portes, 1993; Amsden, Kochanowicz, and Taylor, 1994; and Fedorov, 1995). Other commentators, however, have subsequently noted that, as inflation stabilized, growth resumed, often within two years (Figure 1), thus suggesting that disinflation was a condition for sustainable growth (1996; Fischer, Sahay, and Vegh, and De Melo, Denizer, and Gelb, 1997).7 These two views are not, of course, inconsistent—the former focusing on the transitory costs of disinflation, the latter on the long-term relationship between inflation and growth—and they underscore the complications in assessing the relationship between inflation and growth from simple indicators. These complications are particularly apparent in a period of deep structural changes affecting potential output: the drop in output may have been due to the collapse of central planning, rather than to disinflation, while the recovery may have been due to the effect of structural change, rather than to the stabilized inflation environment. Only a few studies conduct formal tests of the relationship between inflation and growth for transition economies and they draw somewhat divergent conclusions. Lougani and Sheets (1997) find that, controlling for progress with transition reform (as well as other variables), output growth is negatively affected by inflation: a country with 500 percent inflation in one year loses about 2 percentage points of GDP the following year and 4 percentage points of GDP in the longer run. This finding is echoed by Berg and others (1998) who find different effects of inflation on the private and public sectors: whereas doubling inflation is associated with a decline of 5–15 percent in private sector output, it is associated with increased state sector output by about half that magnitude. They suggest that the latter arises because subsidies to state-owned firms boost their output, but also stoke inflation by raising the fiscal deficit. Thus, they conclude that the impact of inflation on output depends on the relative shares of the private and public sectors. Aslund, Boone, and Johnson (1996) find no significant role for inflation in determining output once both war-torn and ruble-zone dummies are included.
Sources: National authorities; IMF, International Financial Statistics; various EBRD transition reports; and IMF staff estimates.
1Stabilization dates are taken from Fischer and others (1996), and are reported in Table 2.
It is notable that the inflation threshold appears to be higher than that found in market economies (see Appendix I). This suggests that the threshold may be falling in transition time, implying that the threshold is lower for the advanced reformers than for the panel as a whole. More specifically, Christoffersen and Doyle (Chapter IV, p. 29) note that inflation may have played a role in facilitating the large growth-enhancing relative price changes at the outset of transition, offsetting other negative effects of inflation on growth. But with structural reforms and the largest of the initial relative price adjustments completed, these initial benefits from inflation would decline, and the relationship between inflation and output in transition economies would come to resemble that of long-established market economies more closely. Thus, the net benefits from low inflation may increase as transition deepens.
In summary, there is evidence that low inflation boosts growth, even after controlling for structural reform and for an inflation threshold that may fall over time as structural reform proceeds. Such a decline in the threshold would be consistent with findings in Fischer, Sahay, and Vegh (1996) and Cottarelli, Griffiths, and Moghadam (1998) that fast reformers have, ceteris paribus, lower inflation rates. No clear evidence of a high output cost of disinflation has been found.
Cukierman (1992) notes that one of the motives for inflation is the perceived risk that disinflation may pose for the external current account. An exchange rate based disinflation may lead to a real appreciation and, thus, affect competitiveness; and competitiveness may also deteriorate in the context of a floating exchange regime if the nominal exchange rate overshoots (Dornbusch, 1976). Indeed, concerns about the possible impact of tighter monetary policies on the external current account have been mentioned by some country authorities (for example, in Hungary) as one of the reasons why accelerating disinflation through a tighter exchange rate policy or the shift to a float was regarded as excessively risky (Suranyi and Vincze, 1998).
Evidence of a widening of the external accounts, however, should not necessarily be taken as a proof that stabilization was accompanied by a shift to an unsustainable external position. As noted above, stabilization is a precondition for growth and a recovery of investment. In transition economies, such an acceleration of investment should be expected to be financed partially from abroad, through FDI and other long-term capital inflows. In turn, these inflows are likely to increase in stabilized macroeconomic conditions. Thus, the observed weakening of the external account after the stabilization may, at least in part, reflect the recovery of growth and investment, rather than an unsustainable loss of competitiveness. In this respect, it is useful to note that the external current account net of FDI in stabilization time shows stronger trends (bottom panel of Figure 2): the debt-financed external balance weakens markedly in the Central and Eastern European countries in the first two years, while in the Baltics, Russia, and other countries of the former Soviet Union, the initial weakening is less marked. But by the third year, the balance has strengthened considerably due to the strong inflow of FDI.

Some service providers may also suggest applying chemical treatments (sealants or other encapsulants) to encapsulate or cover the inside surfaces of the air ducts and equipment housings because they believe it will control mold growth or prevent the release of dirt particles or fibers from ducts. These practices have yet to be fully researched and you should be fully informed before deciding to permit the use of biocides or chemical treatments in your air ducts. They should only be applied, if at all after the system has been properly cleaned of all visible dust or debris.

Airport Law Alert No. 3
FAA Staff Finds Flight Training Restrictions at Pompano Beach Air Park Unreasonable
On December 15, 2005, the FAA's Office of Airport Safety and Standards found that several limitations on flight training at the Pompano Beach (Florida) Air Park are unreasonable. This represents the first major FAA decision on aircraft use restrictions after the U.S. Court of Appeals rejected the FAA's decision on the Stage 2 jet ban at the Naples Municipal Airport.
In Spring 2004, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) and nine of its members filed a complaint with the FAA under FAR Part 16 against the City of Pompano Beach. AOPA challenged six limits imposed by the City, including prohibitions on stop-and-go operations, manned glider operations and intersection take-offs; and time-of-day limits on touch-and-go and "taxi-back" operations and prolonged engine run-ups. AOPA claimed that these limits were unreasonable and unjustly discriminatory and therefore violated the requirements of the deed transferring the Air Park from the U.S. Government to the City in 1947.
The City had defended its restrictions citing, among other things, safety and noise concerns and the fact that the restrictions were minimally restrictive, long-standing and previously accepted by the FAA Airports District Office. The FAA issued a Director's Determination on December 15, 2005, declaring that the restrictions were unreasonable because (1) the FAA recently conducted a "safety study" which concluded that the agency had "no information" that the prohibited conduct was "inherently unsafe," and (2) the City had not justified the restrictions based on incompatible land use within areas exposed to noise in excess of DNL 65 dB.
The Director's Determination is notable in a number of respects. First, the FAA did not address whether and how its decision would affect the hundreds of very similar use restrictions in effect at small airports around the country. While the enforcement action is limited to Pompano Beach, the Director's Determination strongly suggests that similar types of restrictions are susceptible to attack. Importantly, the FAA indicated that restrictions based on safety must receive express approval from FAA Flight Standards Office to be considered reasonable. Second, the FAA, citing its prior decision on the Naples Stage 2 jet ban, said that the Pompano Beach restrictions are required to, but did not, reflect a "balanced approach" that considers both local and federal interests. The FAA suggested that the Pompano Beach restrictions failed this criterion in large part because they were not subject to thorough review through a Part 150, Part 161 or comparable study. This too is significant for other airports, because it suggests that all forms of aircraft use restrictions, regardless of their date of adoption and their severity, must undergo rigorous scrutiny comparable to a Part 161 study.
Los Angeles and LAX Neighbors Set to Sign Historic Agreement on LAX Master Plan
In mid-January 2006, the City of Los Angeles and surrounding communities are scheduled to finalize an agreement that will allow parts of the LAX Master Plan to proceed.
The LAX Master Plan was approved by the FAA in May 2005 and contains massive changes for LAX, including reconfiguring the airfield; reconfiguring the midfield terminals; and constructing a new intermodal transportation center, ground transportation center, consolidated rental car facility, and automated people mover system. The Master Plan is designed to accommodate 79 million annual passengers by 2015. The approved Master Plan was the result of many years of planning and environmental review.
The Master Plan also has been the subject of intense controversy and has been challenged by the County of Los Angeles, El Segundo, Culver City, and the Alliance for Regional Solution to Airport Congestion (ARSAC). The proposed agreement between Los Angeles and these communities would resolve the outstanding litigation and allow Los Angeles to begin work on the first phase of the Master Plan.
As part of the agreement, Los Angeles will discontinue using 10 of its existing passenger gates, at a rate of two gates per year starting in 2010. This is perhaps the most legally significant aspect of the agreement because it may constitute a limit or restriction on airport activity. The FAA explicitly approved this element, finding that its burden would be offset by the benefits conferred by the agreement. This represents only the second time in recent years that the FAA has accepted this kind of trade-off in an airport expansion project; the first involved a new runway at Boston-Logan Airport. It may be the first instance in history in which the FAA expressly has approved a reduction in the number of gates at an airport intended to control passenger traffic.
Los Angeles also is committing to spend $266 million in surrounding communities for sound insulation, environmental mitigation and similar projects. The agreement also would create a public process to revisit certain controversial aspects of the Master Plan such as the proposed ground transportation center.
EPA Proposes to Exempt Airport Mobile Refuelers from Secondary Containment Standard
On December 12, 2005, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a draft rule that would exempt airport operators from the requirement to provide certain secondary containment for fuel trucks and similar vehicles.
The current regulations, contained in the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Rule (40 C.F.R. Part 112), require airport operators to provide a secondary means to contain the capacity of the largest single compartment or container of a refueling vehicle. This can be accomplished through, for example, dikes or catchment basins. The airport industry advised that this requirement was unrealistic given the operating conditions at airports, potentially contrary to other regulatory requirements, and poses a threat to safety and security.
In light of these concerns, the EPA has proposed to exempt mobile refuelers from this secondary containment requirement but not other elements of the SPCC Rule. In particular, airport operators still must provide passive or active containment or diversion to prevent leaks beyond the containment system. Airports also must regularly test the integrity of mobile refuelers.
EPA Proposes to Strengthen Air Quality Standard
On December 21, 2005, EPA published a proposed rule that would tighten the standards for allowable levels of particulate matter in the ambient air. EPA most recently tightened the particulate standards in 1999 but only recently (in December 2004) designated nonattainment areas for the standard. EPA's action in 2004 had the effect of subjecting a number of additional airports to general conformity and other requirements. If issued, the proposed tighter standards could increase the number of areas that would be in nonattainment status for particulate matter and thus the number of airports facing these conformity and other requirements.
Under a consent decree, EPA must issue a final particulate standard by September 2006. It is taking comments from the public on the proposed rule for 90 days. The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to set ambient air quality standards at levels requisite to protect public health and reevaluate these standards periodically to account for new information about the heath effects and other aspects of air pollutants.
The EPA map on the next page shows areas that may be in nonattainment status if the new standards are adopted.
GA Security. On December 15, 2005, the Congressional Research Service released a report entitled "Securing General Aviation." The report does not include conclusions or recommendations but contains a comprehensive review of the subject of general aviation security, including a thorough examination of the various alternatives proposed to address known and perceived threats.
Environmental Regulations. On December 20, 2005, the FAA published a proposal to revise portions of FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures. The proposed revisions are designed primarily for clarification and consistency.
Property Purchases for Noise. In September 2005, the Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General released a report criticizing airport compliance with requirements governing the use and sale of property purchased for noise mitigation purposes. While the report only addressed eleven airports, it is an important reminder to the FAA and airports of the stringent requirements for selling property and using sale proceeds.
Proprietary Exclusive Right. Review is underway in the U.S. Court of Appeals on the FAA's "proprietary exclusive right" by which many airports around the country provide fuel and other aeronautical services on an exclusive basis. A petition for review was filed in September 2005 by an FBO at Naples Municipal Airport who had lost its challenge before the FAA on the Airport Authority's exclusive right to sell fuel. The FBO's appeal alleges that the federal laws prohibiting exclusive rights cover the airport as well as FBOs. If accepted, this would eliminate the exception for airports recognized by the FAA for more than 30 years. ACI-NA has filed an amicus brief in support of the FAA's decision.

Inauguration of the Edmond J. Safra Center for Bioinformatics marked by joint symposium with Dan David Prize
On June 11, 2012 an international symposium on "The Human Genome and Future Biomedical Research" was held at Tel Aviv University. The symposium was organized by the Edmond J. Safra Center for Bioinformatics, together with the Dan David Prize and the I-CORE on Gene Regulation in Complex Human Disease. On June 10, three international leaders of genome research, Prof. David Botstein (Princeton), Prof. Eric Lander (Harvard and MIT) and Dr. J. Craig Venter (J. Craig Venter Institute) were awarded the prestigious Dan David Prize for their contributions to genome research. The symposium was held to mark the awarding of the Dan David Prize and the inauguration of the Edmond J. Safra Center for Bioinformatics. The symposium included three talks. Prof. Botstein talked about "Evolution and Cancer," Dr. Venter gave a talk titled "From Reading to Writing the Genetic Code" and Prof. Lander spoke about "Secrets of the Human Genome." The talks were followed by a panel discussion with all the speakers. Nearly 600 students and faculty members from around Israel attended the symposium and completely filled the Bar Shira auditorium. The three talks were enthusiastically received by the audience. In addition, the three guests met individually with small groups of TAU students and faculty. The overwhelming response was that it was an inspiring and exceptional event. You can see and hear the talks by the Dan David Prize laureates posted online.

This is the discussion/completion topic for Shovel Knight. Please keep any spoilers blurred!
I need to claim this one too!
The villains of the game are called The Order of No Quarter, which could be a cool title for the badge.
I'll take this badge too. Beat Shovel Knight last year, best NES game ever made.
I've completed this! But again I haven't tried the sequel/DLC thing. Shovel Knight such a fun game.
Badge me up! This was the second game I beat on my 3DS and I really loved it.
I might have to claim this badge.
One of my favorite games and I loved the bonus content in the Xbox One version. The big problem with the game is that it's conflicting with my goal to beat my backlog, as I need to beat the game on 3DS, WiiU and PS4 too (a couple of times on steam and once on xbone isn't enough for such a good game).
I've completed the main campaign. I plan on tackling the DLC at some point. I also got the amiibo because my friend and I have been looking for a new co-op game to play.
Finished it. The only game that tribute the nes/snes era right.
Plague of shadows I had to cheat after a certain point. But I don't feel bad, Plague Knight would definitely cheat.
I earned that badge! A retro style game done right in so many ways.
I beat this game back in 2015, was fun.
Shovel knight is absolutely one of my favorite games of all time, beating it was a blast. I just got the treasure trove pack a few days ago and beat Plague Knight's story just yesterday.
I've beaten Shovel of Hope, Plague of Shadows and Spectre of Torment over the last six months and had an absolute blast. I love everything about these games and can't wait for King of Cards.
One of, if not my favorite 2d Platformer. I've beaten this game a large handful of times.

Where should we send your FREE Investor Kit?
Each silver investing guide and/or gold investing guide within your kit includes critical information to help you make good decisions about investing in precious metals. The guides explain why precious metals are considered a timeless currency – physical, tangible assets that tend to go up in value when other more traditional investments are losing value. This is a desirable factor for balancing a portfolio and making it more likely that you lose less overall when the market is on a downward swing.
In addition, gold and silver have a history of continuing to increase in value over time. The prices of precious metals fluctuate just as stocks and bonds do, but because precious metals are a timeless currency, they are likely to never be worth zero. In fact, precious metals are becoming more and more scarce and at the same time are in high demand for industrial and scientific uses, which we believe will continue to bring about an increase their prices over time.
Retirement savings are especially important to keep in balance, so you don't lose your hard-earned money and jeopardize your retirement. Often, retirement investors are forced to take distributions when the market is down. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened to many investors in the 2008 Great Recession – some lost as much as 50% of their retirement savings. An investment in at least some precious metals could help you retain a portion of your overall retirement investment value.
A self-directed IRA with physical gold and silver is an excellent way to potentially offset any retirement investment losses you could be facing with traditional assets when and if the markets decline. One of the reasons tangible precious metals have historically been so successful in retaining value during market declines is that they are in a completely different asset class. In other words, they are uncorrelated with traditional stocks and bonds. Retirement savings in the form of silver and gold perform differently in the market, and that's good for you!
If you have further questions after reviewing your kit – including the silver and gold IRA investment guide or guides you receive – we hope you will take a few minutes to call us and talk about it. Augusta is deeply committed to becoming a trusted source of information for our customers and friends who are interested in physical silver and gold investments.
Call us anytime at 855-242-4121, with no obligation to buy anything! We are here for you.

Marvel Confirms What the World Knows: Paul Rudd is Ant-Man
Marvel has given official confirmation to yesterday's reports, and months of rumors, that Paul Rudd will, presumably, be Dr. Henry Pym in Edgar Wright's Ant-Man.
Kevin Feige, head honcho of Marvel Studios, had the following to say about casting Rudd in the role:
"When Edgar Wright came to us with the idea of Paul Rudd, we felt a huge sense of relief because the first step in creating any Marvel Studio's film is finding the right star. We knew early on that we had found the right person in Paul. When he not only agreed to do it but became as enthusiastic as any actor we'd ever met with about doing the work, we knew we'd found the right guy. We couldn't be more excited for our audiences to see what he's going to do to bring Ant-Man to life."
Meanwhile, director Edgar Wright took to Twitter to get the following video out there:
While it's settling to have Marvel officially confirm the news, this has been the expectation of this site and many others for months now. I'm on the record as being 100% behind this casting. Rudd will do an excellent job as Pym. For those of you who think he can ONLY do comedy, you will be in for a surprise. While this film will see more than its share of comedic moments (it's an Edgar Wright film, afterall) it will take Pym down some interesting roads and Rudd will be able to navigate those as well as anyone.
This gets the ball rolling for casting and it won't be too awfully long now before we get our Jan and Scott Lang and possibly a villain or two! It is, of course, possible that Rudd has been cast as Lang, though I see him more as Pym. What do you guys think? Which Ant-Man is he going to be?

In our society loving daughters is common in families but trusting them is still a cliche.
Ab Kar Meri Rafugari is a story on same lines; where girls are not allowed to marry anyone outside the family. Where daughters only get love but no trust. Then what if someone outside the family deeply falls in love with any of these girls from this conservative family?Will love obsession sustain or will taboo win the game?
Taban is the main character of this story. She is competitive and an achiever but will she be able to fight with the taboo of her family?
It was just a random meeting of Jazib and Taban and he fell in love with her. He thought it was love at first sight but it was not just love but obsession. He was utterly obsessed with her and did every possible and craziest thing to make her own.
Will his obsession make her life beautiful or destroy her life forever?
Zoofi is Taban's sister. She has a very strong bond with Taban; but will she be able to support her in her hard times?
Mujahid is the father of Taban and Zoofi.He is strict and dominant but loves his daughters more than life but daughters need trust more than love!
Zahida is the mother of Taban and Zoofi, she is simple and subservient. Maida is the daughter of Mujahid's deceased brother.She is waiting for her perfect match but not allowed to get married outside the family. Ayesha is Maida's mother and her only wish is to see her daughter married in her life span.
Shakeel is Taban's cousin who is the evil character of the story.Love is not always an obsession. Everybody wants love..Everybody seeks love but if love becomes an obsession it either make the lives beautiful or destroys everything!
So don't forget to watch their story of love, trust and obsession..!!

The Arcus Foundation has announced a open call for concepts to support International LGBTQ social justice work.
The ultimate goal of Arcus' Social Justice Program is to achieve dignity, safety, inclusion, and opportunity for LGBTQ people (i.e., people discriminated against based on actual or perceived Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity, also referred to as SOGI) in the U.S. and around the world, especially those most marginalized. While not specifically noted in "LGBTQ," support for intersex populations can be included in concepts under this call.
Increased social inclusion of and public support for LGBTQ people.
Self-determination: efforts led from within the society or community they seek to influence, managed by applicants with open consultation of and accountability to local LGBTQ communities.
Initiatives led by faith, trans, and other groups with less access to resources and who are marginalized within LGBTQ communities.
Concepts related to one or more focus countries within the Arcus-selected regions.
Cross-sector or cross-movement alliances working towards one or more of Arcus' goals.
Work that increases the political power of constituencies to influence change through civic engagement and democratic participation.
Grants typically range from a minimum of US$50,000 to a maximum of US$100,000 per year, for a maximum of two years, for groups focused on one country; grantmaking intermediaries or larger multi-country partnership projects can exceed US$100,000 per year. Arcus expect to award up to 30 grants, totaling over US$7 million during 2019-2020.
Within all countries in the above regions, and region-wide as well, Arcus will prioritize proposals focused on transgender people as well as faith issues that align with their three goal areas.
Concepts can include one or more focal countries or regions. Intermediaries, joint partner projects, and regional organizations can also propose work within the regions that include non-focal countries, as long as at least one focus country is included.
Legal status: All applicants need to be registered legal entities with a charitable purpose. Applicants registered outside the United States, applying for general operating support or for grantmaking, must participate in an Equivalency Determination process (after being selected based on a concept), which includes having at least five years of financial statements, among other requirements; applicants with less than five years of financials must request project support that does not include grantmaking with Arcus funds.
Type of Organization: Applicants may be organizations that (1) use Arcus funds to directly impact and improve the lives of LGBTQ people in our focal countries or (2) operate as a grantmaker (i.e., intermediaries) that seeks to redistribute Arcus' and other funds through open or targeted calls for proposals, in alignment with specific strategies that would advance their missions. Arcus especially seeks to support indigenous grantmakers who are part of and accountable to their communities, and who have relevant expertise to assess and support their grantees' work at the local level.
Experience: All applicants must have at least two years of experience in the proposed work.
Equal Employment Opportunity Policy: All applicants must have a board-approved internal Equal Employment Opportunity policy that specifically includes sexual orientation and gender identity among the nondiscrimination grounds (i.e., protected categories).
Budget: (1) For grantmaking organizations, a minimum of 70% of Arcus funds should be used for grantmaking, while the other 30% can cover overhead, administrative expenses, and/or program costs. If there is a need for additional non-grantmaking related expenses, a rationale must be provided and will be considered by Arcus; (2) Arcus funds will cover no more than one-third of an organization's annual organizational budgets.
Institutional governance: Applicants' institutional governance must include policies and procedures to protect against actual and apparent conflicts of interest, and to ensure transparency in decision-making and financial operations.
Joint concepts of two or more groups are eligible. While funding will be awarded to a single legal entity, Arcus will consider concepts with pre-identified partners and budgets, which present a rationale for the joint concept and the distinct contribution of each partner.
Current and past Arcus grantees may apply, as well as first-time applicants with whom Arcus has not had a previous relationship.
An organization may apply only once under this RFC, whether on its own or in partnership.
