City from San Antonio and Orange County



Southwest's AirTran Airways unit, which it bought in 2011, continues to charge for bags. Late last year, Southwest raised the fee for checking one bag on AirTran by $5 to $25, and raised the fee for a second bag by $10 to $35. Southwest plans to eliminate those fees once it fully folds AirTran into the Southwest brand by the end of 2014.Mr. Kelly said Southwest is "right on schedule" to begin flying internationally next year. This week, Southwest filed to renew AirTran's rights to fly between several cities in the U.S. and Latin America, and to add Southwest's name to the rights. The applications suggest what Southwest's international route map could look like, including flights to Cancun from Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Baltimore, where some of the structural data was obtained Milwaukee, San Antonio and Austin, Texas. The airline also applied for rights to serve San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, from Denver, Austin and Orange County, California, and Mexico City from San Antonio and Orange County.Baggage fees and other ancillary fees have helped lift the fortunes of most U.S. airlines for the past five years. But carriers didn't need much help in the just-ended quarter.


 Most soared financially, aided by relatively tame fuel prices, higher revenue and strong demand, except during the 16-day government shutdown earlier this month.More than twice as many reusable "bags for life" have been purchased from supermarkets in Wales since the introduction of a 5p minimum charge for single-use plastic bags, prompting fears that the heavier duty bags are now being used as "throwaway" items.Among the proposals in the Welsh government's new environment bill is the introduction of a minimum charge for bags for life if demand continues to rise. They are currently exempt from the 5p minimum charge rules.Ministers have suggested that the rise in sales of bags for life could be having a detrimental effect on the environment if they are being disposed of incorrectly, as the thicker gauge of plastic takes longer to degrade.Wales introduced a mandatory 5p minimum charge for single use carrier bags in October 2011.

where some of the structural data was obtained



The structure showed that this molecular machine has a built-in regulatory mechanism: it can stop itself from attaching to DNA by bending a loop in its structure to block the space the DNA would usually dock onto.The work was carried out in collaboration with Carlos Fernández-Tornero's lab at the Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas in Madrid, Spain, as well as researchers at the University of ttingen, Germany and the SOLEIL synchrotron in France, where some of the structural data was obtained. Structural data was also obtained at the Petra III ring at EMBL Hamburg, on the DESY campus in Germany. A 33-year-old Racine man was arrested at his residence in the 1600 block of Holmes Avenue Tuesday, for allegedly stabbing his dog with an eight-inch-long blade after the dog bit his hand several times, according to his criminal complaint.The man, Daniel Lee Townsend, reportedly faces one count of mistreating animals and one count of disorderly conduct by use of a dangerous weapon.Police responded to the home at 10:51 p.m. Tuesday, for what they expected was civil trouble, and they reportedly found a woman living at the home crying and petting the dog and Townsend claiming that the dog had attacked him three times.


"You didn't have to stab her," the woman said, according to the police report, prompting officers to spot a wound on the dog's left hip bleeding profusely.The incident began when the Townsend and the woman were going to bed, according to the police report, and the man shoved the woman to one side of the bed, causing her to lose her balance and fall off the bed.This reportedly startled the dog to attack the man, according to the woman's statement, and she saw the dog bite Townsend and Townsend grab a fillet knife with an eight-inch blade.The woman reportedly said that she did not see if Townsend stabbed the dog before or after the incident.The woman presented the knife to police, according the report, which had the dog's blood on six inches of the blade.An officer assisted the woman in getting the dog into the woman's car so it could receive medical attention, but the report noted that the man did not assist or act with any urgency that would indicate he cared whether the dog lived or died.Police arrested the man at the residence, took him get the bite injuries checked, and then, once he was medically cleared, took him to the Racine County Jail.

If this seems a bit inconvenient



Air travel has certainly become more troublesome since 9/11. However, most travelers would agree that the new restrictions are not without cause. That said, understanding these new restrictions can be a bit problematic. For instance, are you allowed to carry a bowie knife aboard a plane? You might be surprised by the answer to that question - yes, you can. However, you'll have to follow some special rules setup by the TSA to maintain safety aboard planes. How do you go about carrying your bowie knife on the plane? First, don't put it in your carryon bag, or wear it on your belt.A whole range are available   These are sure ways to be stopped and investigated by the airport security personnel. In order to transport your knife aboard an airplane, you will need to put it in your checked baggage and leave it with the ticket desk. You should also ask whether or not sharp objects need to be declared. Firearms, ammunition and even paintball guns are required to be declared, so your knife might also. However, the news is not all bad.


The TSA does allow you to carry a bowie knife with you if it is packed in your suitcase, so long as that suitcase is checked at the ticket counter and is not a carryon item. Of course, there are a couple of further caveats to this, as well. Your knife must be securely packed, sheathed and safe.It cannot be left loose inside your suitcase, nor can you pack it without its sheath. Interestingly, the same rules apply to swords, razors and other knives. If this seems a bit inconvenient, remember, you shouldn't have any need for your knife during the flight, so packing it away before hand should be no issue. Next, you will also need to wrap the bowie knife in something - bubble wrap works well. Actually, if you can manage it, you should box your knife, wrapping and all. This will provide the utmost protection for baggage handlers and inspectors who might come into contact with your luggage and the knife itself. As long as you follow these precautions, you can carry anything in your suitcase from a bowie knife to scissors, swords and even firearms (broken down into component pieces, of course).

A whole range are available



 The Ultra Light Bushcrater knife has a rather light feel, pretty much like most Mode types of knives. I think this has been accomplished by skeletonizing the handle. There are numerous various kinds of kitchen knives - chef or bread knives or even block sets. That being said, what type is ideal to suit your needs? The answer tends to be that most of them are. A whole range are available that cater to distinct functions and consequently accumulating the most suitable group of knives often is a endless and very costly undertaking.The start of a good kitchen knife collection is the chef's knife as it is a multi-purpose tool used to slice, dice, mince or slice a wide range of food stuff. This sort of knife is offered in a number of sizes (anywhere from six inches to 12 inches) however, as a rule of thumb, the smaller your palm the shorter the chef's knife ought to be.When you've obtained the best chef's kitchen knife, you can begin supplementing your collection with a boning knife, a clever, a paring knife, a carving knife as well as one with a serrated knife blade.
 
 
  While you might be tempted to go to the store and actually invest in a knife block collection, it may most certainly not give you the adaptability, or overall performance, that acquiring separate kitchen knives will. In the event that you've undertaken any type of difficult food preparation, either at your home or rather in a commercial kitchen space, you understand the usefulness of using the proper kitchen utensils.There are numerous various kinds of kitchen knives - chef or bread knives or even block sets.

United States Air Crew Survival Knife



For the steadfast people who will still buy from military surplus establishments, the four most known knives are the Hollow Handle Specialized Best Survival Knife, United States Air Crew Survival Knife, the United States Marine Corps K-bar Knife, and the good old quality sheath knife. The best knives need to be efficient and versatile in an array of ways. Subsequently, the weight and bulk also needs to be taken into consideration. The best survival knives are somewhere between four and six inches.The needs of all pupils are being met A knife of this size offers a good compromise of size and control. Any blade larger than six inches tend to be an overkill, and it just adds to bulk and weight of the things you need to carry while out in the outdoors.If a larger blade is absolutely needed, it is best to bring along a machete, axe, or a tomahawk. When choosing an emergency blade, choose a knife that is constructed with one piece of metal, with material attached to it to form a handle. These type of knives are called full tang knives. In a full tang knive, a blade merges into a handle. This creates a handle that is comfortable and easy to wield.Many times, the metal part is bare to economize between weight and bulk.

 A type of blade that one needs to concern themselves with, is a smooth or serrated blade. Serrated blades are more efficient for cutting up synthetic materials, flesh, and self defense. A smooth blade is the most versatile and is the recommended choice for survival situations. This type of blade is efficient at cutting, chopping, and carving. Though it may not cut through synthetic fibers like a serrated knife, the smooth blade can still be efficient. Some noted knives that are highly recommended is the Becker Knives and Fallkniven.A Bowie knife is a weapon. Although it does have utilitarian uses, as well, this knife is most well-known for being a legendary fighting blade. Like any other weapon, owning one means being responsible and exercising some common sense when carrying it. It also means knowing the local and regional laws that apply to carrying any kind of weapon. Carrying a Bowie knife in public is legal in certain states. This would mean, of course, that it's perfectly fine to walk around any city in Arizona with a Bowie strapped to one's leg, one might assume. One would be wrong.

The needs of all pupils are being met


 
  The specialist science college has about 950 pupils, aged 11 to 16.Mr Bains, who is also governor at the school, said: "We did have one incident recently that I considered to be very serious and it went through due process."The needs of all pupils are being met."He added that the school did "its utmost to ensure the safety of all pupils and staff". Valerine Williams has a child who attends Shivers Middle School.What came as a complete surprise was to learn a weapons investigation is underway at the school."Where can you move to feel safe while your children are at school (and) while you're working and while you're doing things? Are they really safe?"District Conservator Mac Curlee declined to discuss the details of this incident, but he does say they will follow policy on it.He would not discuss whether or not an eleven-year-old child showed a knife during a physical education class Thursday morning.Curlee does say he first heard about it late Thursday.Curlee goes on to say a violation of the district's weapons policy is considered a serious, major infraction.
 
  While officials pursue this investigation, Aberdeen Mayor Cecil Belle is quick to remind parents to remain calm."They don't need to be calling in. What they actually need to do is give the school administration an opportunity to find out the facts."Williams is anxious to find out more, but has faith in the district's leadership."I support the schools and I know some of the people there are great teachers and concerned about the kids and their safety."A courageous police officer was forced to grapple with a knife-wielding thug – after his attempts to disarm the man without a fight were unwittingly foiled by his colleagues.A large man carrying a 14-inch kitchen knife was threatening motorists in Caversham Road, Kentish Town, when Sgt Lee Stapleton arrived on the scene in April.The officer approached from behind and saw that the knife was in the man's back pocket, but just as he snuck up to grab it, his police radio started blaring.Speaking at the police commendations, Ch Insp Penny Mills said it was "the sort of thing you see in the movies".

DFAIT posted on its website Sunday



    "Remain highly vigilant and avoid public places in the next 24 – 48 hours," DFAIT posted on its website Sunday.Canada does not currently have any nationwide travel warnings for Kenya, although it does have two pre-existing travel advisories for areas heavily populated by Somalis - one of which is a district of Nairobi.DFAIT warns against "non-essential travel" to the Eastleigh neighbourhood of the Kenyan capital,Burlington police are looking for a man  about eight kilometres away from Westgate Mall.The area is often referred to as "Little Mogadishu" and it's estimated 250,000 Somali immigrants, refugees and their descendants live in the neighbourhood.Reuters reported Sunday there were fears in that community there could be retaliatory attacks because of the Westgate Mall siege.In November last year, angry mobs attacked shops and businesses in Little Mogadishu after a minibus bombing, blamed on al-Shabab killed nine people. A month later five people died when a grenade went off near an Eastleigh mosque.
  
    DFAIT has also advised Canadians against travel to areas within 150 kilometres of the border with Somalia, citing "a risk of kidnappings and attacks for issuing the advisory."That advisory covers areas in Northeasten Province, including Garissa County -where the church attacks occurred - and the Lamu district north of Pate Island.Garissa County is also home to the Dadaab refugee camp - the largest refugee camp in the world, according to UNHCR.The 21-year-old camp, made up of five settlement camps, is populated with nearly 386,000 Somali refugees who have fled violence and famine in Somalia.The 2012 church attacks that took place about 120 kilometres from Dadaab happened on the same day as four aid workers, including one from Canada, were released after three days in captivity.Several foreign tourists and aid workers have been kidnapped in the northeastern region of the country since 2011, when Kenya became involved in a multinational operation to help the Somali military combat Al-Shabab.
  
  

Burlington police are looking for a man



 Bethany Smith told police she stole the bicycle for her drug dealer, saying she was using drugs at the time of the crime.  Burlington police are looking for a man who robbed a motel late Wednesday evening.Officers said a man entered the business, brandished a knife and demanded money from the clerk. The clerk complied with the suspect's demands and was left unharmed. The suspect fled the scene with an undetermined amount of money in an unknown direction.The suspect was described as being a white male with a dark complexion, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, 180 to 190 pounds, dark close-cut hair with a light growth of facial hair. He was wearing a short-sleeved white T-shirt and dark-colored pants.Luke Garner armed himself with a bread knife when he confronted the victim after being goaded by him.Mark Watson, prosecuting, told Lincoln Crown Court: "Garner took the knife and went outside for a confrontation.

 "There was a scuffle between the two of them involving shoving, one or two punches and grappling."During the scuffle the victim received injuries caused by the knife. He had a one-inch cut on the ring finger of his left hand and three cuts to his right cheek. Those cuts are described as superficial and minor."Garner, 24, of Burrows Close, Grantham, admitted charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and possession of a bladed article in a public place as a result of the incident on June 23 this year.He was given a 12-month jail sentence suspended for a year with 120 hours of unpaid work.Judge Michael Heath said that throughout the incident Garner had been trying to protect his partner's cousin from the victim.He told Garner: "Your mistake was to take a bread knife out into the street to frighten him into leaving. He had been goading you and what you should have done was simply keep the door locked."
