Progressive Youth Alliance beats EFF in SRC poll at Wits
The Progressive Youth Alliance (PYA) has emerged victorious in the 2018/2019 Student Representative Council (SRC) elections at Wits University.
The group is taking over the reins from the Economic Freedom Fighters Student Command (EFFSC). According to results posted on the Wits Twitter stream‚ only one of the 13 contested seats went to the EFF.
The PYA comprises the ANC Youth League‚ the South African Students Congress (Sasco)‚ the Young Communist League (YCL) and the Muslim Students’ Association (MSA). In the previous election‚ the EFF scored 12 out of 15 seats.
The loss comes after EFF national spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi visited the campus on Monday to campaign for votes. EFF leader Julius Malema also tried to rally support. His party tweeted a video that showed him voting for the EFF candidates at Wits. Malema is a registered student at the institution.
Following the EFF defeat‚ Malema took to social media to say they accepted defeat.
“We accept the outcome of the SRC elections at Wits and congratulate our @WitsEFF branch for putting up a good fight. Now let's remove our posters and clean up our university‚” he tweeted.
Wits spokesperson Shirona Patel had earlier told TimesLIVE that the elections had been mostly peaceful‚ despite two violent incidents. She said that more students had participated in the elections compared to previous years.
Wits is one of the few universities where the EFF has failed to win campus elections.

Members of Parliament from both Chambers will tomorrow convene in a two-day seminar to assess the country’s situation regarding the implementation of the Convention on Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).
The lawmakers will also be identifying actions to be taken by the Parliament to ensure a better implementation of the Convention in Rwanda.
The seminar aims at imparting MPs with information about regional and international instruments on women’s rights. It will particularly focus on the CEDAW and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on women’s rights in Africa.
Rwanda ratified this convention in 1981. As a result of this, last year’s legislative elections, Rwanda led the world in women representation with 45 seats for women out of 80 in the Chamber of Deputies representing 56.2 percent.
Also for the first time in the History of Rwanda, the parliament was entrusted with female Speaker.

CHP leader says he does not insult anybody but seeks answers on Gara killings
Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the chairman of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), has rebuffed the criticisms from senior government officials and repeated his questions over the last week’s military operation that ended with the killing of 13 Turkish nationals by the PKK.
“What did I do? Did I insult anybody? Did I use strong language? I just wanted answers to my five questions. I want these answers on behalf of 83 million people,” Kılıçdaroğlu said at a press conference with Mustafa Destici, the leader of Great Union Party (BBP), who paid a visit to the main opposition headquarters on Feb. 19.
In his weekly address to the CHP group on Feb. 16, Kılıçdaroğlu blamed President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan while holding him responsible for the killing of 13 citizens who were held by the PKK in a cave in northern Iraq as well as three troops who were martyred during the operation.
Erdoğan filed a lawsuit against Kılıçdaroğlu, demanding 500,000 Turkish Liras in compensation. The AKP officials argued that Kılıçdaroğlu was trying to whitewash the PKK by blaming President Erdoğan for the incident.
Kılıçdaroğlu sought to defend his words on Feb. 19 by saying, “There is unsuccessfulness. And it was Erdoğan who said they could not succeed in rescuing them from the PKK. If there is a failure, then there has to be someone responsible for it.”
Speaking on the reactions that the CHP is not naming the PKK in its statements and is referring to a “separatist terrorist organization” instead, Kılıçdaroğlu said, “We are using the same terminology that our Defense Ministry and Chief of General Staff are using on their official websites. We are not here to advertise a terror organization.”
Soylu slams Kılıçdaroğlu
In the meantime, Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu continued his criticisms against Kılıçdaroğlu in an address to the district governors on Feb. 19. Recalling that he and Defense Minister Hulusi Akar paid a visit to Kılıçdaroğlu to provide information about the Gara operation, Soylu accused the CHP leader of turning the anti-terror fight into a political matter.
“Blaming our president [for the killing of citizens] is nothing but whitewashing the PKK, removing the burden from it and turning the issue into a matter of political exploitation,” the minister said.

This is pretty much exactly how I make them which is how my father taught me which was the recipe he got in Germany from his grandmother which she got from ... well you get the idea. Very basic ingredients, you can see why this is such an ancient dish. I make a big stack for dinner, it's a family favorite. You can garnish with either apple sauce or sour cream. The only problem with this recipe is that she doesn't mention squeezing out the water after the potato and onion have been grated. This is key. Then might need a bit less flour, try 1/4 cup. I also add a couple of large cloves of minced garlic. These are really scrumptuous.
Great hit with DS! I used green onions instead of regular onions, because I thought they'd make a nice color contrast, but they cooked sooo much faster than the potatoes....I should have used regular onions! Regardless, they are delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Made these this morning as I was craving potato pancakes. They turned out GREAT! The only thing that I did "off-recipe" was to follow some tips provided by other posters for this and other potato pancake type recipes -- 1. Shredded the onion and potatoes using the Cuisinart--first by passing through the grating disc, then passing the mixture through the regular processor blade for 3 -4 pulses. 2. Took the entire potato and onion "pulp" and squeezed out the excess liquid using a clean tea towel. Mmmmmmm. Debber is right--just like Nana used to make! Thanks for posting
These were very good. Very similar to the ones that I make. I would suggest to anyone else making these to drain as much of the liquid off as possible before cooking them. These are very crisp and tender, just the way we like them. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely a perfect recipe for potato pancakes! I did cheat a bit and instead of shredding potatoes I bought some refrigerated shredded potatoes instead (time crunch was on for me!) and they worked out perfectly! My grandson who is 5 ate two pancakes and kept dipping them in his applesauce without my even suggesting it! There is some German blood running through him! Thanks so much for sharing. I made this on my journey to the German Region during ZWT6 with the Zwizzle Chicks team.
I wanted potatoes for breakfast and these were a great way to prepare them! I did add a little pepper. My DH and I enjoyed them, thanks Debber! Made for the Looney Spoon Phoodies for Zaar World Tour#6.
delicious! we added some seasoning to make it a little more savory to use as a side for roast chicken. very nice texture, not at all soggy like some are. made for zwt6
Great potato pancake. Fried them in the bacon fat rendered from the bacon I served alongside and - MAN - were they good! Served with greek yogurt, apple sauce and a sprinkling of chives. Excellent.
These were good. I put my potatoes into salted water to keep them from changing color. Make sure you get all the water out if you do that. These are a tad bit puffy, like pancakes, but only a tiny bit. I liked the texture.
My dad used to make these too and his mom before him.Very good!

Am J Clin Nutr
The limited data that were used to establish the recommendations for magnesium intake for men and women prompted a new investigation that has demonstrated that the current requirements are much too high for healthy men and women (. 2006; 84: 843-852).
J Clin Nutr
Surprisingly, current government guidelines for magnesium—320 to 365 mg/day for women and 410 to 420 mg/ day for men—are based almost exclusively on a single study published 23 years ago (. 1984; 40:1380-1389).
This new, cross-sectional study investigated data on metabolic magnesium balance in 150 women (mean age, 51.3 years) and 93 men (mean age, 28.1 years) who were enrolled in a series of feeding studies conducted by the US Department of Agriculture. Comparison of data from the last 6 to 14 days of each dietary period from 27 individual original metabolic studies showed that daily intakes of magnesium ranged from 84 to 598 mg. Random coefficient models were then used to determine the relationship between magnesium intake and magnesium output (ie, fecal and urinary excretion).
Analysis showed that men and women would achieve neutral magnesium balance (ie, magnesium output that equals magnesium intake) at intake levels of 165 mg/day, regardless of age or gender.
Thus, the investigators write, “Compared with the existing EAR [estimated average requirement], the new estimate of the magnesium requirement is 35% to 48% lower for women and 50% to 53% lower for men.”
The findings that “the relation between magnesium intake and output is not affected by sex concur with earlier findings,” they add. As a result, gender-specific magnesium intake recommendations are likely unnecessary.

Go North East, the largest bus company in the northeastern region of the U.K., has developed a system that enables passengers to order bus tickets by mobile phone.
The customer receives a digital ticket to their phone minutes after ordering it by text message. The phone screen then displays the ticket information that will be shown to the driver as the passenger boards the bus.
The cashless, paperless ticket can be ordered anytime, anywhere by sending a text message to 60060. Customers can even buy tickets while waiting for the bus to arrive.
To use ‘txt2go’, customers first set up an online account using Go North East’s secure Website. Money is then added to the account using a debit or credit card, and the cost of each txt2go ticket will then automatically be deducted from the account.
The new tickets are very secure, with each one locked to the handset it was ordered from so it cannot be transferred to another phone.The tickets also improve security on buses by reducing the amount of money carried by the driver.
The technology implementation, led by Atos Origin, is the first U.K. rollout of the Mobile Payment Solution developed by Atos Worldline, an Atos Origin company, and the ticketing service.

Recorder Sonata in C major, HWV 365 (Handel)
The Sonata in C major (HWV 365), for recorder and harpsichord, was composed (probably before 1712) by George Frideric Handel. The work is also referred to as Opus 1 No. 7, and was first published in or shortly after 1726—in a collection of twelve sonatas titled Sonates pour un Traversiere un Violon ou Hautbois Con Basso Continuo Composées par G. F. Handel—purportedly in Amsterdam by Jeanne Roger, but now shown to have been a forgery by the London publisher John Walsh. Walsh republished this sonata in 1731 or 1732 under his own imprint in a similar collection, containing ten of the earlier sonatas and two new ones, with the new title Solos for a German Flute a Hoboy or Violin With a Thorough Bass for the Harpsichord or Bass Violin Compos'd by Mr. Handel. Other catalogues of Handel's music have referred to the work as HG xxvii,15; and HHA iv/3,33.
The pseudo-Roger, Walsh, and the Chrysander (based upon pseudo-Roger and Walsh) editions indicate that the work is for recorder ("flauto"), and published it as Sonata VII, though the autograph manuscript is missing the title page. This autograph is a fair copy made most likely in 1712, but a reliable copyist's manuscript gives the instrumentation in Italian: "flauto e cembalo", exactly as in Handel's complete autographs of the Sonatas in G minor, A minor, and F major.
The work consists of five movements:
|Movement||Type||Key signature||Time signature||Bars||Notes|
|24||Concludes with a one-bar adagio in G major.|
|43||Concludes with an E major chord.|
|4||A tempo di Gavotti||C major||4
|46||Three sections (4, 8 and 34 bars)—each with repeat markings. Cut-common time signature.|
|64||Two sections (16 and 48 bars)—each with repeat markings.|
(Movements do not contain repeat markings unless indicated. The number of bars is taken from the Chrysander edition, and is the raw number in the manuscript[clarification needed]—not including repeat markings.)
Three of these movements are related to other works by Handel:
- Handel also used the second movement in the overture to the opera Scipione (1726)
- The third movement is a revised version of the third movement of the Oboe Sonata in F Major (1711–16)
- The fifth movement is related to the duet "Placa l'alma", from act 1, scene 4 of the opera Alessandro, (1725–26)

New Zealand Police say they are "acutely aware" families of the Christchurch shooting victims are frustrated with the time it is taking to identify and release the bodies, but add they do not want to rush a complex process.
- Bodies were taken away for identification, but most are yet to be returned to their families for burial
- Under Islamic tradition, a person would normally be buried within 24 hours
- Forensic teams are still analysing the crime scene
In a series of tweets late on Tuesday night, police said they were doing all they could to undertake the work "as quickly as possible".
"While identification may seem straightforward, the reality is much more complex, particularly in a situation like this," they said.
"Our absolute priority is to get this right and ensure no mistakes are made."
The twitter thread went on to say police were looking at ways to improve their communication with the families.
Delays causing distress for victims' families
At the Al Noor mosque where 41 people died, the bodies have all been taken away for identification, but most are yet to be returned to their families for a traditional Islamic burial.
Mosque founding member Hanif Quazi said that was causing great distress.
"It's a very difficult time to say the least," he told the ABC.
"I personally know most of the families affected, I have visited and spoken to them, and they are coming to a point of desperation because it is the fifth day and they want to see their loved ones."
In line with Islamic tradition, a person would normally be buried as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours of their death.
"Five days is a long time and we have to understand it, but you try to explain it to the traumatised families and it is not easy," Professor Quazi said.
Anxious relatives want closure
Sydney chaplain Ahmed Kilani, who came to Christchurch to supervise spiritual and pastoral care for the local Muslim community, said he had also been speaking with people who were anxious to lay their relatives to rest.
"They want some closure, but in saying that the mosque is a crime scene so we couldn't even use the wash room, which is usually used for the Muslim community to clean and shroud the bodies," Mr Kilani said.
"Understandably there have to be forensic investigations, but it is taking longer than the community would like."
Mr Kilani volunteers with Australian charity AusRelief as a disaster recovery chaplain, but usually works in NSW prisons to counter extremist doctrines and provide spiritual guidance to Muslim inmates.
He said after hearing an Australian man had been charged over the massacre, he felt compelled to come to New Zealand to offer his condolences and help "as a chaplain and as an Australian".
'I just can't look at it'
Professor Quazi said he was extremely proud of the way the Muslim community had come together to support each other.
Thirty-five years ago, he and a group of his Muslim brothers proudly oversaw the construction of the Al Noor mosque.
Today he approached it for the first time since hearing about Friday's terrorist attack.
"I am devastated, I just can't look at it," Professor Quazi said.
Instead, the retired scientist and his wife Razia hugged one another and wiped away tears as they stood under the towering trees in the park across the road.
"I was here in 1984 when we started the construction," he said.
"I remember going to a lady behind the site down the street and telling her we wanted to build a mosque and that I would like her permission.
"She said, 'Thank you. I am looking forward to the day where the horizon of my house will be brightened by the golden dome'."
That large golden dome is all that can be seen of the Al Noor mosque complex at the moment.
As forensic teams analyse the crime scene, fences lined with floral bouquets, police trucks, and armed officers with rifles block the view from the cordon across the road.
When asked if the Muslim community could ever return to the Al Noor mosque after such tragedy, Professor Quazi was absolute.
"Oh yes, no problem," he said.
"Our people are bigger than this and we trust the community and feel quite safe."

Have I ever told you what wonderful people my readers are? I'm sure I have on many occasions. The best thing about having wonderful readers is when they tell me about very cool things to make. Case in point is reader Carol who left me this comment stating simply: "Oh go on make us Panda Bread!" and linked me to a blog who had indeed made a gorgeous Panda bread based on a Japanese blogger's brilliant idea. My heart skipped a beat with excitement when I saw it and I knew I had to make it. There was only one thing stopping me. It was the 20 boxes of things that I was in the middle of moving.
Luckily things such as fate intervened and I hadn't yet packed some of the final boxes. The ones that were left outstanding were a packet of green tea and Valrhona cocoa powder that I bought from our Tokyo trip. So I stashed these two packets in my already bulging handbag along with a host of other necessities that I didn't want lost in the boxes like drawings that my Mother in Law did for me, anti Swine Flu hand sanitiser, Crabtree & Evelyn Earl Grey Teabags, a camera battery charger along with my normal ramshackle mix of things.
When we had finally settled in, I unloaded the Kitchenaid onto the counter at my parent's house which is where we are staying while renovating our kitchen and bathroom. My mother had never used one before and I warned her not to pick it up or move it as it was heavy. "You mean this stays here all the time?" she said somewhat curious and perhaps a little wary of this new benchtop intruder.
As for my styling, I admit I'm the least clucky person I know except for perhaps my friend Gina. However I couldn't resist buying this Tiffany & Co. child's cup and saucer for an imaginary child. My imaginary child wouldn't break it, be well behaved, eat adventurously, be kind to strangers and nice to animals and love to eat Panda Bread. Although if this imaginary child were to materialise I could only guarantee the last point.
So tell me Dear Readers, what is your imaginary child like?
Ingredients: Makes approximately 600g/21ozs loaf (206mm x 108mm x100mm high)
- 270g/9.5ozs all purpose flour
- 30g/1oz cornflour
- 30g/1oz sugar
- Milk + 1 egg yolk = 21 0g/7.4ozs
- 4.5g/0.18ozs salt
- 20g/0.7 ozs unsalted butter (I used 20g)
- 4g/0.14ozs yeast
- 8g/0.28ozs green tea powder dissolved in 2 tablespoons boiling hot water
- 8g/0.28ozs cocoa powder dissolved in 2 tablespoons boiling water
Step 1 - Heat up milk and yolk to temperature of 38?/100F. (I beat the yolk lightly with milk and send it to the microwave on High for 30 seconds).
Step 2 - Place flours, salt, yeast, sugar in an electric mixer fitted with a Dough Hook and set on low setting to combine. Then add milk and egg mixture and softened butter and knead on low setting for 5-6 minutes until elastic.
Green Tea Powder
Step 3 - Divide dough (about 560g or just over 1 pound) into 3 parts: 75g/2.64ozs for the chocolate, 210g/7.4ozs plain and the rest of the dough which is less than 280g/9.8ozs for the green tea.
Green Tea Paste (left) and Chocolate Paste (right)
Step 4 - Add chocolate to the 75g/2.64ozs dough and knead till the colour is even. Add green tea mixture to the 280g/9.8ozs dough and knead till colour is even. If you do these manually, make sure that your hands and bench space where you need are cleaned between kneading to avoid transferring the colours.
Dough wrapped up before proofing
Step 5 - Prove all 3 pieces of doughs on separate greased plates covered loosely with oiled cling wrap for 30 - 40 minutes.
Step 6 - Punch air out of dough and prove for another 20 - 30 minutes.
Step 7 - Use 90g/3ozs plain dough for the face and 2 pieces of 27g/1oz chocolate dough for the eyes.
Step 8 - Fill the hollow of the eyes with 30g/1oz plain dough.
Step 9 - Roll remaining plain dough over the patterned dough.
Step 10 - Divide the remaining chocolate dough into 2 pieces (17.5g each/0.61ozs) for the ears.
Step 11 - Use 70g/2.47ozs of the green tea dough to fill up the hollow between the ears.
Step 12 - Wrap the rest of the green tea dough all around the patterned dough.
Step 13 - Place dough into a well-greased loaf pan and cover it with a lid and prove for 50 - 60 minutes in an enclosed are. As it's cold here and we're in the middle of Winter, I set the pan in a larger container filled with warm water and refreshed the water with hot water 3-4 times to make sure that it rose.
Step 14 - Bake at 200?/400F for 25 30 minutes.
Thanks to Do What I like for translating Taro's recipe and Taro for coming up with such a cute idea!
*Buying tips: Green tea powder can be found at Asian grocery stores or Japanese supermarkets (I bought mine in Tokyo). *

The protagonist of The Ember Stone, the first installment in Shari Marshall’s promised series, learns to accept her magical legacy when evil forces threaten her community.
Kori Ember is a Spellbinder, or magic wielder. But after her brother’s death when she was only 10 years old, she has made a point of acting like a “normie” (non-magical person). As the story begins, she’s an adult with a history, having cycled through a failed marriage and an unrewarding career. Now she’s traipsing across the globe on lottery winnings while trying to ignore the magical abilities¬—levitating objects, among other feats—that keep popping up.
When she receives a note from her native Canada while traveling, Ember learns that her sister and parents have been kidnapped. Returning home, she discovers the crime is part of a much larger battle, a conflict between the Embers—all Spellbinders representing the forces of good—and the Society of the Blood Wind, who are “drawn to dark magic and display abnormal and often violent behavior.” Soon, Ember is embroiled in the battle between good and evil, employing her investigative skills as a former police officer and her ever-developing magical powers to survive.
Marshall’s imaginative scope is vast as she builds a world where Spellbinders exist side-by-side with normies, shapeshifters, evil mages and other fantastical characters. The author even throws in a dash of romantic tension as Ember deals with former flames and unlikely love interests. Additionally, Marshall’s law enforcement background brings a gritty, true crime quality to the book’s many action scenes.
While the author’s penchant for over-explaining, including in lengthy passages of dialogue, sometimes strips the narrative of any sense of nuance, Ember is a vividly realized character, and her interactions with a supporting cast of magical creatures help keep the story cohesive through the slow stretches.
Despite this misstep, The Ember Stone is a promising debut and should provide a fun romp for fans of the genre.

Administration Considers Promotions for Generals in Torture Scandal; ACLU Urges Senators to Seek Appointment of an Outside Special Counsel
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WASHINGTON – While the administration continues to attack a single provocative remark by Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL), Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is reportedly considering promotions for senior generals tied to the torture scandal. In response, the American Civil Liberties Union today sent a letter to Senators reiterating its call for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate torture policies. High-ranking government officials should not be rewarded for putting themselves above the rule of law and the Constitution, the letter says.
“Promoting officers who have been implicated in the torture scandal is not only wrong, but the lack of accountability puts our soldiers at risk,” said Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU. “Instead of taking issue with a remark on the floor of the Senate, the administration should be asking why almost no one above the rank of sergeant has been prosecuted for the federal government’s torture of detainees. High-ranking officials shouldn’t be getting better jobs, while privates and sergeants take all the blame.”
Last week, Durbin read aloud a portion of an FBI agent’s report describing a detainee at Guantanamo Bay “chained hand and foot in a fetal position to the floor, with no chair, food, or water. Most times they urinated or defecated on themselves, and had been left there for 18-24 hours or more?” Durbin then said, “If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime – Pol Pot or others – that had no concern for human beings.”
The New York Times reported on Monday that Rumsfeld is considering promotions and lateral moves for top generals in Iraq linked to the torture scandal. Among them, Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez, the theater commander at the outset of the Iraq War, could be promoted to oversee American military operations in Latin America. Pentagon and military officials said the move would reward Sanchez for his loyal service.
A September 14, 2003 memorandum signed by Sanchez laid out specific interrogation techniques for use by coalition forces in Iraq. These include sleep “management,” the inducement of fear at two levels of severity, loud music and sensory agitation, and the use of canine units to “exploit [the] Arab fear of dogs.” During sworn testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, though, Sanchez flatly denied ever approving such techniques. The ACLU obtained the memorandum through an ongoing Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
In April, the ACLU and Human Rights First filed a lawsuit charging Rumsfeld with direct responsibility for the torture and abuse of detainees in U.S. military custody. The action was the first federal court lawsuit to name a top U.S. official in the ongoing torture scandal in Iraq and Afghanistan; many of the charges are based on documents obtained through the FOIA lawsuit. The ACLU has also filed separate lawsuits naming Brig. Gen. Karpinski, Col. Thomas Pappas and Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez.
Sanchez could also be nominated to move laterally. Either nomination would require Senate confirmation, and the ACLU called on Senators to push for an independent investigation immediately.
“The administration needs to stop playing political games meant to deflect attention from its torture policies and obscure its failure to hold high-level officials accountable,” said Christopher E. Anders, an ACLU Legislative Counsel. “We need an independent counsel to hold high-ranking officials accountable for these policies. It’s time to make sure that the government follows the rule of law.”
The letter to Senators is available at:

Gollnick appears for arraignment in 2013 case
HILLSDALE — Steven John Gollnick, 57, of Reading, appeared in Hillsdale County Circuit Court Monday morning for arraignment on two counts of failure to comply with the sex offender registration act.
Gollnick was initially scheduled to appear for the crimes in October 2013 but failed to appear for court; a bench warrant was subsequently issued for his arrest, but he managed to elude law enforcement until recently.
Reportedly, Gollnick moved from Indiana to Michigan and failed to register his new address, leading to the initial violations.
"He really didn't have anything to say about not appearing," Gollnick's attorney, Kimm Burger, said.
Gollnick pleaded not guilty to the charges and a criminal pretrial conference has been scheduled for 1 p.m. April 18.
Gollnick was convicted of attempted first-degree criminal sexual conduct on Nov. 8, 1997.
He faces up to four years imprisonment and a $2,000 fine per charge if convicted.

Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel sign on for 'Boy Meets World' sequel series
Listen up, children of the '90s: Cory and Topanga are back.
"Boy Meets World" stars Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel - who more or less dropped off the radar after the ABC series ended its run in 2000 - have signed on to reprise their respective roles in the Disney Channel follow-up pilot "Girl Meets World," according to TV Line.
The potential new series will follow the young married couple - who tied the knot in "Boy Meets World"'s final season - as they raise their teenage daughter Riley, who has yet to be cast. The show will take the point of view of the daughter, just as the original series took the perspective of Savage's pubescent character as he moved through his teenage years and into adulthood.
Development on the pilot, which is being overseen by "Boy Meets World" creator Michael Jacobs, is currently in the early stages.
Are you looking forward to "Girl Meets World"? Let us know in the comments.

While airlines can't directly offer lower prices than OTAs, it can withhold certain benefits, and that's what Frontier and others are trying, to attract users directly to their sites.
Some airlines are making travelers work harder to find a deal.
Carriers are offering more deals to passengers who book flights directly on their websites. It’s an effort to steer people away from online travel agencies such as Expedia, Orbitz and Travelocity, which charge the carriers commissions of roughly $10 to $25 a ticket.
While travelers save money, they also must do without the convenience of one-stop shopping.
Frontier Airlines is the latest carrier to jump into the fight, announcing Wednesday that it will penalize passengers who don’t book directly with the airline. Those fliers won’t be able to get seat assignments until check-in. And they’ll pay more in fees while earning half as many frequent flier miles.
“Particularly for families, it provides an incentive to book directly,” said Daniel Shurz, Frontier’s senior vice president, commercial. “There is no logical reason for our customers to want to book anywhere else.”
Contracts with the online travel agencies prohibit airlines from offering lower fares on their sites. Instead, airlines such as JetBlue Airways Corp., Spirit Airlines Inc. and Virgin America often provide discount codes in emails to their frequent fliers or through Facebook and Twitter.
The savings for booking directly can be significant.
Toronto-based Porter Airlines frequently offers codes that save travelers up to 50 percent. A recent search of flights from Chicago to Toronto for November produced an airfare of $249.61 using a code at flyporter.com. The same flights would have cost $404.38 through Travelocity.
The airlines face a delicate balance. The online travel agencies account for the lion’s share of ticket sales. But the airlines want to trim the fees that eat into their profit margins.
Besides the discounts, the airlines say their sites offer passengers a better experience, providing up-to-date seat maps, details about in-flight entertainment and more seamless booking.
Henry Harteveldt, co-founder Atmosphere Research Group, said the airlines and travel sites have “a very, very dysfunctional business relationship.” The travel sites treat all flights equally. Price is the only differentiator.
“The online travel agencies either won’t or can’t talk about how an airline might have Wi-Fi on a plane or extra legroom seats available,” he said.
The online agencies say they provide travelers with several advantages, including comparison shopping and the ability to mix and match airlines for a single trip.
“That’s something you can’t do on an airline’s site,” said Dara Khosrowshahi, president and CEO of Expedia, Inc.
Simon Bramely, vice president of transportation and lodging for Travelocity, part of Sabre Holdings, noted that “the flight is one element of the trip.” He said online travel agencies can save travelers hassle and money by creating packages that include hotel rooms and car rentals.
The battle is not new. Southwest Airlines Co. was a pioneer in cutting out the middleman. The airline does not list its fares on third party sites. That means travelers have to search both southwest.com and then elsewhere to compare fares. Southwest hopes fliers will never make it to another site.
“We think we can have better control over the customer experience by dealing directly with them,” said Southwest spokesman Chris Mainz.
Most of the big carriers have remained quiet. American Airlines, part of AMR Corp., was the exception. In December 2010, American cut off Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. from displaying its fares and selling its tickets to protest the commissions and the failure to displays extras like seat upgrades. The site had been selling about 3 percent of the airline’s overall tickets. Expedia joined the fight by making American’s fares harder to find. All sides eventually settled their disputes.
Frontier, part of Republic Airways Holdings Inc., is making its changes specifically to cut the commissions.
A four-segment itinerary — say a roundtrip flight from Sioux Falls, S.D., to Phoenix connecting in Denver each way — booked directly through Frontier costs the airline $1.60 to process. That same itinerary booked through an online travel agent costs Frontier $20 to $26, depending on which website the ticket is booked on, according to Shurz.
Those commissions add up: Shurz said Frontier spends about $55 million to 60 million annually on distribution fees. In the first half of 2012, 42 percent of Frontier’s $713 million in revenue came through tickets sold directly with the airline. Shurz hopes to increase that figure to 65 percent in a few years, cutting expenses in the process.
Frontier’s customers have a big incentive to book directly.
Only those going through the airline’s website will get to pick their seats in advance. Travelers booking through third-party websites will only get half the frequent flier miles. Fees for changing itineraries, going standby, traveling as an unaccompanied minor or bringing a pet onboard will be $50 higher for those booking elsewhere.
Frontier is a low-cost carrier based in Denver. It flies to 80 destinations in the United States, many smaller cities, as well as leisure destinations such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. Through August, it carried 9.1 million passengers. In that same period, United Continental Holdings Inc. carried 96.1 million passengers.
In a related move to increase loyalty, Frontier is lowering the amount of frequent flier miles needed for a free flight by 5,000. The airline also changed its website URL to flyfrontier.com.
About the only thing not changing are baggage fees: They will remain $20 for each of the first two checked bags regardless of where you buy a ticket.
