Published 12:00 am Tuesday, June 4, 2013
SALISBURY — As expected, school officials came out swinging Monday night in the face of $225,000 in proposed budget cuts to the school system.
More than 15 speakers signed up for a public hearing on next year's proposed budget. The majority of the speakers voiced views for or against the county's recommendation to cut schools' funds — a decision that followed school officials' request for nearly $5 million to maintain all current services.
Susan Herrington, principal at Woodleaf Elementary, was among the supporters for more county funding. Herrington urged commissioners to "invest"in students' futures by restoring the proposed shortfall.
"Help us keep much needed personnel in place by funding at least at or above the current balance regardless of the number of students lost," Herrington said.
County Manager Gary Page said Rowan-Salisbury Schools will lose more than 140 students next year. At $1,587 a student, the attendance dip equates to just more than $250,000.
But school advocates argued that many of the schools already operate on a skeleton budget and with the students being spread across the system, most schools will only lose a handful of students.
Gene Miller, assistant superintendent for school operations, said students don't simply equal dollars.
"Just because we have fewer students does not mean we need less money to operate," Miller said. "Having 146 less students does not mean that it costs less money to keep cool the buildings, or run less budgets or need less teachers or teachers' assistants. — unless you assume that they all live in the same neighborhood, ride the same bus, have the same teacher and are the same age."
But not everyone protested the cuts.
Salisbury resident and frequent Salisbury Post commenter Larry Wright said schools haven't proven to commissioners the needs for positions like teaching assistants.
"I think the school board and the administration have certainly not sold the common citizens who do the voting, pay the taxes, on the need for all of these positions," Wright said. "I think it's a dereliction of duty on your part."
Herrington quipped back, inviting those in attendance who thought the schools' budget needed to be trimmed to volunteer at a local school.
"You need to come into Woodleaf school — I invite you now to volunteer and I invite you all to come into Woodleaf schools and every school in our county and volunteer and see what a 21st century classroom and a 21st century school," Herrington said. "My school reflects the guilts of our society."
Another school supporter, Alex Reynolds, just named the 2013 Rowan-Salisbury School System Teacher of the Year, asked commissioners to reconsider the budget.
"I personally believe in cutting the fat. I don't think that doing more with less is bad. Sometimes it can be motivating. But when more of my kids say it's better to leave and never come back than to reinvest in our county — that says something about where we are and what we value."
Several Enochville firefighters also turned out Monday night to ask commissioners for a fire tax increase.
Crew members, including Fire Chief Clark Mackey, said the average vehicle life at the department was more than 19 years old.
Mackey said the increase is needed to purchase new vehicles or fix the existing ones and to train firefighters.
With no hydrants in the county, he said, the department's only tanker supplies water for all fire missions. But that vehicle has developed serious rust spots, Mackey said.
"The pump is about to fall out of the bottom of the truck," he said. "It's got a lot of rust spots."

G. John
Plays for ODD DOWN DAREDEVILS
Left-arm fast bowler
Anti-Inertia
John was a write off in the draft, professing below average batting, bowling and fielding, though he was similarly skilled in each. However, seeing potential in John's surprisingly fast bowling action, Anti-Inertia stuck with the left-handed quick and were impressed with his progress. John looked set to become Anti-Inertia's primary fast bowler in the future. However, as he trained he got older and older, through 23yo, 24yo, 25yo, 26yo, and it was appearing as though he might never make his debut.
Since the arrival of P.U. Heseltine, the two had trained together in anticipation of an eventual partnership. However, when 27yo John debuted in Season 32, the pair only played 5 games together before Heseltine left the club. In those games, Heseltine was a shadow of his former self, and the prospective parntership amounted to nothing, although John, eager to finally prove himself, ended up with an impressive debut season, taking 69 wickets @ 31.46, having also missed one game of the season. Surprisingly, the club did not replace Heseltine with another fast bowler to join John, making him the first sole fast bowler since A.J. Jacklin's retirement left S.L. Mansell as the sole fast bowler. This was the confidence that John had craved the club would have in him.
The following season, John took the mantle of primary bowler for the entire season, playing every game. His vigourous action made him a frightening impact bowler, taking 3 ten-fors for the season. In whole, a commanding season saw him take 79 wickets @ 31.66. However, the greatest accomplishment was that he had done what Mansell couldn't. That season John was instrumental in leading the club to its second premiership. Due to his match winning efforts throughout the season, John was adjudged to be the club's best player for the season. John's rags to riches story and humble approach to his stardom was a breath of fresh air for supporters of the club, after the dramas unfolding between Mansell, Heseltine and K.M. McNiven.
John put together a middling next season, taking an expensive 65 wickets @ 38.20, though his economy was similar to the previous season. Due in part to this, the club relegated back to Tier 2 despite winning the championship the prior season. This was a painful reality for John who took it harder than most, but instead of expressing it outwardly, he trained harder. He took on the next season with introverted vigour and improved his action to the point where it seemed a ball couldn't physically be bowled any faster. He improved to take 72 wickets @ 33.31 again with similar economy and the club ended the season in the promotion zone. The forever youthful now 30yo John was ready to return to Tier 1 and pick up where he left off. Unfortunately, however, a winless 4 rounds and an expensive 22 wickets @ 36.05 was too much for the club's selectors to bear, and John was dropped for the fifth game of the season.

It's an easy wrap dress. The skirt is closed, so I have slip the dress over my head..
The pattern is self-made, and I like this style very much!
At the end of the belt I have used fake leather snaps.
This is stunning Ellen! I love how all of the colours play happily together. And those boots are fab!
I love all the bright colors in the fabric. Great looking dress!

Q: How can I call the filename created? I have call an image and cropped the region and also detected the characters.
This is the part where the characters in the image is cropped.
`if (rect.height > 25){
     Core.rectangle(result, rect.tl(), rect.br(), new Scalar(255, 0, 0));
     Imgproc.drawContours(cropped, contours, -1, new Scalar(255,0,0));

     System.out.println(rect.x +"-"+ rect.y +"-"+ rect.height+"-"+rect.width);
     Highgui.imwrite("2)Detected Box_" +a+".jpg",result);

     for(int k=0; k < 8;k++){
            Mat crop1 = new Mat(result,rect);
            Imgproc.floodFill(result, croppedM, shift, new Scalar(0,0,250));
            Mat invertFill = new Mat();
            //Core.bitwise_not(crop1, invertFill);

            try{
                Highgui.imwrite("charCrop"+a+"_"+i+".jpg",crop1);
                System.out.println(template_img);
                //String e = crop1[k].toString();
                Mat  image_ = Highgui.imread("charCrop"+a+"_"+i+".jpg",Highgui.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);
                Mat template = Highgui.imread(template_img,Highgui.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);`

This is part of my code where I write a new file of the cropped characters at Highgui.imwrite("charCrop"+a+"_"+i+".jpg",crop1);
My question is how can I call the created file at Mat  image_ = Highgui.imread("charCrop"+a+"_"+i+".jpg",Highgui.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR); without calling directly the file name as this part will continue to call the next file image that have been created.

When is the Bahrain Grand Prix 2020? Next F1 race start time, practice, qualifying schedule and TV channel
Sergio Perez is just one of the drivers hoping to make a lasting impression over the final three races of the season
By James Gray

The end is in sight. The Formula One season that looked like it would start on time, then didn't start, then seemed destined never to start, then took off with relentless gusto, is now within touching distance of the finish line. It's been breathless.
Fans starved of early-season action will not be so relieved when the winter shutdown comes around but for teams who have barely had a week to rest since mid-summer, the final chequered flag cannot come soon enough.
i's fantasy football tips newsletter: get ahead
The two biggest prizes have been long since decided with Mercedes wrapping up the Constructors' Championship and Lewis Hamilton picking up a record-equally title in fine style in Turkey. The rest of the field have paled when compared to a man who is already being talked about as the greatest driver of all time, and he is far from done yet.
Lewis Hamilton, the greatest British sportsman ever? It is hard to argue against it
The season will conclude, as it has every year since 2014, in the Middle East, although the series will include a bumper desert swing this time around as the F1 organisers try to make up for lost time. The season did not start until July due to the coronavirus pandemic and despite a packed schedule the campaign will only be 17 races, the shortest in 11 years.
Full race weekend schedule
All times GMT
FP1 – 11am-12.30pm (Sky Sports Main Event & F1 from 11am)
FP2 – 3pm-4.30pm (Sky Sports F1 from 2.45pm)
FP3 – 11am-12pm (Sky Sports F1 from 10.45am)
Qualifying – 2pm-3pm (Sky Sports F1 from 1pm & Main Event from 2.30pm)
Bahrain Grand Prix – 2.10pm-4.10pm (Sky Sports F1 from 12.30pm)
What is still at stake
Both serious trophies will be heading back to Brackley, Mercedes' English home, at the end of the season but there are still one or two battles to be settled down the field and several seats up for grabs in 2021.
In the World Constructors' Championship, Red Bull are all but assured of second place as they lead Racing Point by 86 points but there is a fierce four-way battle for third going on between Racing Point (154 points), McLaren (149), Renault (136) and Ferrari (130).
All four are within striking distance of each other, meaning the teams could emerge from the first Bahrain race in any order with two Grands Prix to go. There is plenty to play for other than pride too; there is a difference of around $15million (£11million) in prize money between third and sixth place in the standings.
Sergio Perez, who will be leaving the team at the end of the season after seven years, bagged second place at the Turkish Grand Prix last time out and will be desperate to again reward his team's faith with another points haul, but there is a personal motive for him too.

The position of Max Verstappen's teammate at Red Bull remains vacant for 2021 with the Milton Keynes outfit considering whether to ditch struggling Alex Albon. They are believed to be considering an outside hire, as opposed to their usual policy of promoting from within, because Pierre Gasly has already been tried in the senior team and junior driver Yuki Tsunoda is too inexperienced.
Perez and his temporary replacement after contracting Covid-19 Nico Hulkenberg are believed to be front-runners for the seat, which represents an unexpected opportunity for either man to get into a car with realistic opportunity to challenge at the front of the grid, if not in 2021 then certainly in 2022.
It is likely that Perez has already done all he can to secure the drive, but another strong performance in Bahrain, adding to his second place in Turkey, would go a long way towards helping him into the garage.

Living with music, means living with passion, beauty, and style. It means listening with Brodmann!
All Brodmann loudspeakers are made by hand in Vienna Austria, the spiritual home of classical music.
Every speaker system and every instrument produced (they also make pianos) is a direct reflection of passion for music.
Brodmann takes great pride in applying new technologies and procedures to improve their products, which can be considered works of art. Using real timber veneers and multi coat piano finishing, no two are exactly alike. Optionally they can be ordered in any color you choose.
Look at the finish and you will quickly realise that this loudspeaker is special, listen to it and you will fall in love.
Brodmann loudspeaker cabinets are designed to sound right in "real world" living rooms - which is important and often overlooked. Because the choice of where in the room to place the loudspeakers is essentially a practical consideration, excellent sonic results can be achieved in almost every living room, due to the unique design of the loudspeakers.

UNITA Leader Jonas Savimbi to appear in reactionary game "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2"
This just goes to show how American media and culture under the bourgeoisie whitewashes reactionaries. The degeneration of the "Call of Duty" series is a testament to this.
Jonas Malheiro Savimbi was an Angolan anti-communist guerrilla leader who was backed by the CIA and apartheid South Africa. According to the Wiki linked below, he will be seen during flashbacks in 1986 Angola during the Angolan Civil War.

Rant & Personal Account: A Disturbing Revelation
By the Espresso Stalinist
As a kid, one of my favorite games was Contra for the original Nintendo NES. As an adult, I now know this game was a propaganda effort to raise support for the reactionary Contras in Nicaragua fighting against the Sandinista government.
The ending theme of the original game was titled "Sandinista" (サンディニスタ?).
You're known as a "Contra" and you fight against evil aliens called "Red Falcon."
The two main characters were modeled after reactionary action actors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone.
They are on a mission from the U.S. imperialists to kill all Red Falcons that are planning "an invasion" of Earth (the U.S.).
To make matters worse, in the Japanese version you fight on the fictional Oceania archipelago of "Galuga."
The American NES version takes place in the present (1980's at the release of the game), in South America. Yes, they were that ballsy.
"Contra" literally meant counterrevolutionary for those in Nicaragua. They were fighting against the democratic socialist Sandinistas with help from Ronald Reagan's cronies. Congress was so horrified by the Contras they even cut off funding in 1985, which led Reagan and the CIA to start covert illegal funding, ergo, the Iran-Contra Affair.
The Contras committed atrocities:
"But despite the efforts of the White House PR machine, the Contras increasingly appeared to be a particularly ruthless and bloodthirsty bunch. Stories of atrocities against civilian noncombatants certainly didn't help. In the words of human rights group Americas Watch, 'the Contras systematically engage in violent abuses … so prevalent that these may be said to be their principle means of waging war.' Another NGO compiled a year's worth of Contra atrocities, which included murder, rape, torture, maiming children, cutting off arms, cutting out tongues, gouging out eyes, castration, bayoneting pregnant women in the stomach, and amputating genitals."
Good stuff, eh?
Imagine all the people who donated 53¢ to see people…kill people. For democracy.
President Ronald Reagan explains who is fighting to overthrow the current Nicaraguan regime:
"Thousands who fought with the Sandinistas have taken up arms against them and are now called the Contras. They are freedom fighters."
President Ronald Reagan attempts to drum up public support for the Contras:
"They are our brothers, these freedom fighters, and we owe them our help. I've spoken recently of the freedom fighters of Nicaragua. You know the truth about them. You know who they're fighting and why. They are the moral equal of our Founding Fathers and the brave men and women of the French Resistance."
Try saying video games are "class neutral" now, liberals.

Added Stop-Disk to Hitachi commands, People were still putting in a disk, a habit from FWTB days, commands would fail and the drive would crash.
Added, test for port IO….
Just to clear, this is a fake. None of my beta-testers would leak the HEN or post any unauthorised materials without my permissions.
Also, development of HEN is virtually complete. Just doing a cleanup, and release will be soon.
OMG congratilations! last week I upgrade with 5.05 firmware, and I noticed that doesnエt workthe HEN There is any chance to downgrade to 5.03?
5.05 Yes, I'll work something out (I forgot it's existance).
If you mean 5.50 then no. If someone finds a vsh usermode exploit, then yes. Until then, no.
Update #5 5/2/09: Davee has posted some eyecandy for you all. Here'a picture of an emulator that is running on a PSP-3000. Undeniable proof that yes, homebrew is running on a PSP-3000! Enjoy.

This triple calendar chronograph from Zodiac looks almost identical to a vintage Heuer Carrera 12 Dato – one of the most collectible of all vintage Carreras – and surprisingly, though the name on the dial is different, in all other respects this Zodiac and the Heuer 12 Dato are identical watches. That means you get all the great looks and great quality of the Heuer at a much lower price.
This Zodiac is a great example of a basic reality of watchmaking from the 1960s – in the pre-quartz era, it was not at all unusual for major manufacturers to source the same components from the same factories; this meant that sometimes you'd see watches from different brands that quite literally differed only in name. One of these components was often the case, like the one you see here, which is exactly the same case as the Heuer Carrera 12 Dato. Even more importantly, the Zodiac is fitted with exactly the same Valjoux 72c triple calendar movement as the Heuer – the only substantive difference between the Heuer and the Zodiac is the name on the dial. This Zodiac Triple Calendar also features the desirable "Panda" dial (white dial, black subsidiary dials). This is a finely preserved and very impressive example of a top-tier design and movement, as visually compelling as they come, and one of the increasingly rare real bargains in vintage watches.
The dial on this chronograph is in great condition, and the case has clean lines and only slight scuffs from normal wear (with small dent to the top left lug). The only thing to note is that some lume plots are either missing or are bruised, but this watch isn't about the lume plots. Additionally, the hands show signs of light spotting and aging consistent with the watch's age. The movement and all the functions are still in good working order.


Believe it or not, popcorn poppers are great tools for roasting coffee beans. They are a simple, inexpensive, and effective alternatives to using for roasting coffee beans at home, providing the same functionality at a much lower price.
This is one of the most basic ways to roast coffee beans, simply heat them up until they are roasted to your preferences. In effect, you are simply using the popcorn poppers mechanism for cooking to roast coffee beans, adjusting the temperature and time of cook to perfect your coffee beans' roast.
It is important to know that popcorn poppers are not designed to roast coffee beans and results will vary based on the type of machine you use and how you use it. With a little bit of trial and error, you will be able to find a machine and settings that work great for you to roast perfect coffee beans every time.
First, it's performance and durability is much more important than its appearance. The sleek, new machine isn't going to do you any good when it comes to roasting coffee beans. Instead, you want a machine that is durable, has stronger heating elements and wattage, and more powerful fans.
Older machines are great for this. Built to last, these stable, durable machines will give you exactly what you need without adding features that are unnecessary. These should be made of durable material and come with sturdier heating elements. Essentially, the main working components are much more direct, to the point, and efficient.
Some air popcorn poppers come with holes or mesh in the bottom of the machine. While this is good for popping popcorn, it is not ideal for roasting coffee beans. If you want a popcorn machine that will roast coffee beans effectively, you will want to get a machine with a solid bottom. These don't let the coffee beans get the proper roast as they do not heat enough or evenly.
Since popcorn poppers are not designed to roast coffee beans, no matter which roaster you use, there will be an element of adjustment to make sure it works properly. In practice, you will need to try a few times and alter your methods to make sure you get the coffee beans roasted the way you like.
To make your popcorn popper work to roast coffee, you will not only have to modify how you roast the coffee regarding temperature and timing, but you may also have to modify the popcorn machine itself.
Temperature settings are one of the first things you'll want to adjust when roasting coffee beans. Having the popcorn popper set too high or too low will either burn or barely toast the coffee beans, so you will want to get a balanced temperature. However, while many popcorn machines typically run at a heat of 350℉, they would need to reach temperatures of close to 480℉ to roast coffee beans. Therefore, modifying to have a thermostat work with your popcorn machine can be a great way to make sure you get the right temperature for your roasting. By using a thermostat to test the temperature, you can set the popper to the right temperature and ensure that your coffee beans are roasted right.
The amount of cooking time for the coffee beans will also affect how they turn out. This will take some testing – most likely through trial and error. Adjusting the amount of time roasting will help you perfect the roast and will need to be considered with the temperature. If you are burning the coffee, you may want to leave them in less time. Conversely, you may want to lower the temperature and increase the amount of time. Ultimately, getting the ideal roast will take some trial and error before you get it the way you like it.
The amount of coffee beans you roast will also play a role in how well the popcorn machine roasts your coffee. Typically, you will find a good amount to put in that works for your popcorn machine. You don't want to put too much or too little, as they will either not cook enough, not cook evenly, or cook too much. Try a few different amounts, and once you get a good amount, try to stick with it.
Therefore, picking your popcorn machine for roasting coffee beans will somewhat be about choosing the depth of the popcorn popper and how much space there is. Choose one that will fit as much as you want to roast at one time, but don't get greedy. Remember, this is about attention to detail and precision.
Some great machines that would be easily modified to roast coffee beans include the Presto 04820 PopLite Hot Air Popper, Wabash Valley Farms Whirley-Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper, or Cuisinart CPM-100 EasyPop Hot Air Popcorn Maker, Red.
When picking the best popcorn popper to use for roasting coffee beans, you'll want to consider the durability, performance, and design of the popcorn popper. Ideally, making sure your popcorn machine is suited for roasting coffee will take some adjusting and trial and error before you perfect the technique that works best for you.

IBEX has been shortlisted as a finalist in the SME Innovation category of the 2016 NHS Bright Ideas in Health Awards. The awards are an annual competition, organised by NHS Innovations North, that identify and celebrate achievements and innovations in healthcare by NHS Trusts and SMEs in North East England.
The IBEX entry to the competition describes the way in which IBEX technology can be used to collect bone fragility data in routine fracture scans. The ability to collect this information on such a wide scale, with no additional appointments or X-rays for the patient, could lead to earlier detection and prevention of bone health issues such as osteoporosis across the population. This would significantly reduce the incidence of fragility fractures, currently estimated to cost ~£2.3bn in health and social care provision in the UK.
We are delighted to have been shortlisted as a finalist in these awards along with a collection of other great organisations that demonstrate the skills and talent driving innovation forward in the North East.
NHS Innovations North is delivering innovation in healthcare through The Innovation Pathway, a project managed and delivered by RTC North with support from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Academic Health Science Network North East and North Cumbria.

A day laborer falls off an unsafe scaffold and dies. A custodian gets work-related asthma from cleaning products. A painter is tested and found to have lead poisoning. Every year, thousands of California workers are injured on the job or become ill as a result of health hazards at work.
Twelve workers tragically lose their lives on the job each day in the United States, with 409 workplace deaths in California in 2009. Latino workers are particularly at risk. In Los Angeles County, where nearly one quarter of the state's fatalities occur, Latino workers have a 50% higher fatality rate than non-Latino workers.
Work-related injuries and illnesses result in substantial human and economic costs, and can be prevented. Having the data necessary to understand the problem is the first step.
A health indicator is a numerical value or statistic that helps us measure the state of health in a community or group. Occupational health indicators are a set of statistics that help explain the current state of worker health.
Occupational health indicators can be tracked over time to tell us whether our health is getting better or worse, and where we may need to invest prevention resources. These indicators can be compared with those of other states, the U.S. as a whole, or other countries. Using indicators over time can help us to track our progress toward improving health.
The Occupational Health Branch (OHB) of the California Department of Public Health tracks California employment demographics and 20 health indicators to understand and share trends related to worker injuries, illnesses, exposure and other factors that influence occupational health. OHB's website presents data annually, starting with the year 2000.
OHB is dedicated to improving worker health and safety through prevention activities. We gather information on job hazards, work with others to test new approaches to prevent worker injury and illness, and assist with making changes at the workplace. For more information, visit our website.

Confirmed: Leicester owner, four others died in Chopper crash; Police probe
Mr. Vichai walking to his helicopter shortly before the crash
Leicester City Football Club's owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, a Thai tycoon, was among five people on board a helicopter which crashed and then exploded after an English Premier League match on Saturday.
A source close to the club said on Sunday that also on board were two pilots and one other person whose identity were not immediately known.
The source also named a fifth person on board, but there were no confirmation that anyone on board survived, while Leicester police have said enquiries into the crash would continue.
Vichai, a father of four and founder of duty-free giant King Power International, is a huge favourite with the club's fans after he bought the unfancied side.
He bought it from central England in 2010 and they went on to stun the football world by beating odds of 5,000/1 to win the English Premier League title in 2016.
In Thailand, officials at King Power said they could not yet comment on the crash or say whether Vichai had been aboard when it spiralled out of control.
The helicopter had crashed shortly after taking off around an hour after the game.
However, the club has not commented on the details of the crash.
The helicopter came down yards from the King Power Stadium's grandstands in a club car park.
Team manager Claude Puel was not on the helicopter, the source has also gone on to say.
According to witnesses, the helicopter had barely cleared the top of the stadium before it started to spin.
It then plummeted to the ground and burst into flames.
John Butcher, who was near the stadium at the time of the crash, told the BBC his nephew saw the helicopter spiral out of control apparently due to a faulty rear propeller.
"Within a second it dropped like a stone to the floor … Luckily it did spiral for a little while and everybody sort of ran, sort of scattered.
"As far as we are aware, nobody around the car park was caught up in this problem."
After pumping millions of pounds into the club, Vichai helped steer Leicester back into the top-flight in 2014 before they stunned the sport.
They beat the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea to become champions of England.
Hundreds of fans laid flowers, football shirts and scarves outside the stadium in tribute to Vichai on Sunday morning.
"He's put so much money into the club. He has brought the club up from receivership, put the money in, built the team, won the Premiership," 68-year-old fan Richard Mobbs told Reuters.
"The future is looking bright or at least it was looking bright."
According to Forbes magazine, Vichai is the fifth-richest person in Thailand with an estimated net worth of $4.9 billion.
The self-made businessman's duty-free company, founded in 1989, was granted an airport monopoly in 2006 under the government of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
It continued to prosper even after Thaksin's ousting in a coup that year.
The family's empire also includes Belgian football club, Oud-Heverlee Leuven.
Leading Leicester players, including Jamie Vardy and Harry Maguire, sent messages of support on Twitter while rival clubs, including Manchester City, voiced their concern.
Freelance photographer Ryan Brown was covering the game and saw the helicopter clear the stadium before it crashed.
"Literally the engine stopped and I turned around, and it made a bit of a whirring noise," Brown told BBC Radio 5 Live. "It turned silent, blades started spinning and then there was a big bang."
Football fans in Thailand were shocked by the news of the crash.
"Thailand has the Leicester team — that is well known to us, and we always send our moral support," Chuleeporn Kamonwasitkul said on a football field in Bangkok.
"No matter if you're a fan of Leicester or not, all of the Thai people are sending our thoughts and prayers for them to be safe."
Leicester had played a league match at home against West Ham United earlier on Saturday, drawing 1-1.

10.24.2012 New case illuminates boundary between severance pay and a severance plan to which ERISA would apply
MARK S. THOMAS
The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas has provided guidance to determine when a severance agreement will fall within the scope of ERISA. The decision offers a brighter line to distinguish severance plans governed by ERISA from certain severance agreements that are not.
In Kirkindoll v. Texans Credit Union, et al., No. 3:11-CV-1921-D (N.D. Tex. Oct. 15, 2012), the district court resolved a suit filed by Gary Kirkindoll, the former president of Texans CUSO Services, LLC, d/b/a Texans Financial, a credit union service organization owned by defendant Texans Credit Union ("TCU"). Kirkindoll was one of a few highly compensated employees participating in TCU's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan ("Plan"), a type of arrangement commonly called a "top hat" plan. Contributions vested when participants attained retirement age or if the participants' employment was terminated for any reason other than certain specified exceptions.
In 2010, TCU experienced severe financial distress and decided to terminate the Plan. As part of this process, TCU proposed that Kirkindoll's benefits be partially vested in return for his agreement to the Plan's immediate termination. As another part of this proposal, Kirkindoll was offered a distribution of $234,068.18. Agreeing to TCU's offer, Kirkindoll acknowledged that he was surrendering his rights under the Plan in exchange for the vesting and distribution.
Before the money was distributed, however, TCU was placed into conservatorship by the National Credit Union Administration Board ("NCUAB"). NCUAB repudiated the agreement with Kirkindoll on the grounds that it had been outside the authority of the Board of Directors of TCU and "would be burdensome and would hinder the orderly administration of TCU's affairs." Kirkindoll's employment was terminated shortly thereafter as part of a reduction in force.
Kirkindoll filed suit in Texas state court asserting state law claims for breach of contract, promissory estoppel, fraudulent misrepresentation and other grounds. The case subsequently was removed to federal district court, where Kirkindoll amended his complaint to include an alternative claim under ERISA for Plan benefits. Defendants moved for summary judgment on the basis that Kirkindoll's state law claims were preempted by ERISA.
The district court denied the motion for summary judgment, finding no basis for ERISA preemption. Following the U. S. Supreme Court's ruling in Fort Halifax Packing Co. v. Coyne, 482 U.S. 1 (1987), the district court held that the severance benefits under the Plan were based on a vesting provision that did not require an ongoing program of administration to process claims and pay benefits that would be characteristic of an ERISA-governed plan. The vesting provision of the Plan merely provided for the point in time when benefits vest, amounting to a "one-time, lump-sum amount, calculated at the time participant status is granted and funded through two prior company contributions[.]" Such a provision did not constitute a plan governed by ERISA under the principles declared in Fort Halifax Packing Co. As a result, Kirkindoll's severance agreement was outside the scope of ERISA, and he was permitted to pursue his state law claims.
Kirkindoll therefore holds that a vesting provision for a one-time, lump-sum payment under a severance agreement does not, without more, constitute an employee benefit plan governed by ERISA. As the federal courts have said many times, ERISA is concerned with the on-going administration of benefit plans, not simply the one-time payment of benefits.

Blotter: Kidnapping in the Lord's name
by Adam Manno February 13, 2019
Blotter o' the week: A woman told officers that a young man approached her and her son at Liberty Square Park. The man tried to take her son away from her while shouting, "Get your hands off that child in the name of Jesus Christ." When officers went to arrest him, he was holding a large Bible while standing at the steps of the Fort Sumter monument.
When an officer removed a 12-ounce bottle of medicine from a man's backpack, the man immediately clarified, "That's fake lean."
A man ruined his friend's roommate's cooking pot. When the owner went to his apartment to collect $20 for the item, he told him, "Don't come over here again or I'm going to fuck you up." Adding injury to insult, he punched the pot owner in the face later that day.
A maintenance worker kicked off his lunch break by quitting and saying "that he was going to shoot everyone in the office," according to his boss, who later told officers that that wasn't the first time he's made similar threats.
A Daniel Island family left their garage door open overnight, and their teenage son had left his Audi unlocked with the keys inside. His father was the last person to see the vehicle before it was stolen.
A middle schooler was cyberbullied by other students on Snapchat for helping police in a previous case. Perhaps unhelpfully, his mom then called the cops and got them suspended for three days.
A West Ashley woman had a $2,000 patio furniture set and a $377 coffee table stolen from the garage of her West Ashley home, which is still under construction.
A Johns Island couple got home to find that their door was open and someone had stolen $4,200 in jewelry, a $1,200 TV, and other devices including a gaming console and a laptop. Surveillance footage showed three different cars pull up to the house while they were gone.
A man drove past his ex-wife as she was walking up to her apartment building (in clear violation of a restraining order filed against him last year) and called out, "Nice apartment, bitch."
Two women were asked to leave a strip club after spilling a drink at the bar and trying to have sex with one of the dancers in a private room. When a bouncer said that what they wanted is illegal, one of the women replied, "Now you tell me that after I spent $170."
A woman reported feeling "funny" after eating beans on a date with a man. She said that he was "adamant" that she try them, but that she soon began feeling sleepy.
This week in Victoria's Secret thefts: Three women — one a serial shoplifter and the other two unidentified — stole 61 items totaling $2,482 from the King Street store.
